ShowMe! Photo Blogger

In anticipation of my upcoming travel mobile blogging stint in Shanghai, I've downloaded a nifty BlackBerry application called ShowMe! Photo Blogger and insert an inaugural inconsiderate chope-r picture here!

2009

You made it easier when life gets hard
Do you hear me
I'm talking to you
I won't hesitate no more
Look into your heart and you'll find
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
Listen to the music of the moment
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this

I’d keep you with me in my heart

It's like talking to a wall

Nothing gets through.

Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more...

PLC does crazy things to you...

I went on a buying spree after last Friday's paper and I just bought this online after today's:



to compliment this that I got years ago:



Hopefully they retain their value more than my dismal attempt at stock trading.

Time to eat grass!

I suck at Economy 101

I still maintain that the economic crisis was due primarily because of the involuntary shrinking of everyone's belt because they were scared off by the economic failures they read about in the news and see on tv. There is no real actual crisis except everyone cutting down on everything, and some even jumping on the bandwagon to cut and save money as an excuse.

If you're a teacher, will you be affected by the economic crisis? MOE is just cutting salaries because they wanna save money and they wanna save money because they (as any company) are inherently trying to cut costs whenever they can. One might argue that the economy is global and even our town councils have investments that depreciate and cause them to lose money. But they are not supposed to invest more than a certain % of their funds in such investments. So what about the rest of it? Similarly, if MOE has such links to the economy, and they have ample funds left, why the excuse to cut salaries?

This economic crisis is a farce and the only ones benefitting from it are the companies (and organizations) that are crying foul. We need people to spend more so banks won't be so scared to lend more and that doesn't help if you cut salaries. You start doing that and you get MORE defaults in payments and don't even start on the layoffs. The whole vicious cycle goes on because of this.

It's just so ridiculous how things can escalate.
