London 2012

• loved loved the opening ceremony. mr. bean and the flying queen was epic. brits so witty!
• fantastic concept on the flame/cauldron, just wow. but what were they thinking when they stuck it inside an arena where no one can really take a picture in front of it without a ticket.
• brought back memories of watching olympics at home, and how much I used to enjoy the ceremonies, the events and all the color. I miss swimming...
• our own Niluka in the first 16?
• Phelps at 22 medals!! what a great olympian, and what a proud mama. :)
• Rockstar Swagger.. really Lochte?
• shame on you, those disgraceful badminton players who were throwing the games.
• First double amputee to participate in Olympics.  Historic.
• How does Bolt make it look so easy, like a walk in the Hyde Park?
• Misty May and Kerry Walsh, did it again, for the 3rd time!
• Way to go Dream team, it wouldn't have been complete had you not won the gold.
• What a tribute to Lennon. Imagine, gave me goosies. 
• Amazing closing ceremony with the emphasis on British music celebration; Georgy, super models, fatboy slim, Jessie J, Tiao Cruz, Spice Girls!!!!!, former Oasis, bhangra dancers, Queen, One Direction, among many others..
• what an event, what great athletes.. memories, and emotions. GB you did good..

'til next time...

sexting

Since I moved (yes, again) now I have a longer commute to work.  Don't ask me why I make such decisions, bluaergh! so anyway this longer commute result in more radio time to and from work. and i frequently listen to this one breakfast radio show - pretteeh interesting stuff.

one day last week they ended up talking about senator Weiner story, about texting or tweeting pictures of his wiener to women and little girls. this discussion turned in to about taking naked pictures of ones self and texting them to their bf/gf (i.e. sexting). the hosts invited the listeners to call in and fess up if they have any naked pictures floating around and if they send/receive sext.  many called, and pretty much they all admitted to either or both.

this 47 yr old mother of two calls in.. 'i'm on my way out to drop my kids at school, but just wanted to call in.. I do get sexts from my bfs'.. hosts ask how old are your boy friends.. 'the youngest one was 22, and it's kinda cute when they do that.. i'm a cougar'!!

un-freaking-believable!

Stoned

the caption of the video read:


  "The young girl in this video was sentenced to death by an Islamic Court because she did not want to marry an old man the family arranged for her. This is not Al Qaeda or the Taliban, but Muslims following SHARIA LAW!"


It was the most disturbing thing I saw, next to some terrorists chop off some captive's head few years ago.. 


the video today was of a woman getting stoned 'til death.  Kicked while she screamed for her dear life.. ending it by dropping a big cement block on her head... leaving her on a puddle of blood! it's way too disturbing to embed on the blog, coz I never want to see that ever again..


Now, the reasons stated on the email for such punishment could be far from the truth, but no one deserve to be stoned and kicked to death... regardless of the race or religion!


I petty you, whoever you are, who did that to her.. dogs! you will never know what awaits on the other side.. I hope the girl is in a better place now~
