QUITTING FACEBOOK: IS IT COOL?

Many people nowadays are being exposed with social networking. it has become a trend to have a social network account like Facebook, Twitter and Myspace. even though it has become a trend towards some people, but there are still people who not really into the Facebook. as we all know, Facebook main selling points is to make friends and colleagues build in closer relationship. that was good enough for friends and colleagues to have a better connection with each other. but, there are certain group of people see the Facebook as useless medium for contact. this is because some users would not calling his or her friends anymore. they only need to update through their status and all their followers just read the status. besides, this medium is being used to update unnecessarily matter like bad hair day. this is totally uncool. so, as to avoid these usefulness matters, people who thinking that they are cool should quit using the Facebook. this is because by using Facebook, it will diminish the tradition of saying among friends and colleague. in a nutshell, it is cool to quit facebook.

"STOP WISHING, STOP WAITING, GO MAKE IT HAPPEN ALREADY"

In Cyrano De Bergerac's play, it asked one important question, "Should one put aside the beloved object’s feeling and put his or her personal feeling first?" This is the answer for that question.



Feeling can be very hard to expect especially when it comes to love and romance. When it comes to that matter of subject, a person who involve with it will find very hard to hide his or her feeling. When he or she falls in love with someone, either they know them or not, to make a love confession can be very difficult. He or she will most probably think whether the person will like them too or not. It is either they will be rejected or not. A lot of things may come across to their mind as they are trying to make the confession. As for me, it is not wrong to put our feeling as the priority regarding with the matter. To confess something that can be very hard to say and once we say it, it is like a big burden release from our heart. You will feel the peace. It does not matter at all about the result we will get from the confession we have made as long as we have confess it.

But, one thing to remember is that do not hope too much when you are trying to confess. When we are hoping too much for the relationship, and let say another party rejected you, you will be in despair. You will find it is very sad and heartbroken. Remember, for girls, if you are confessing your love towards a guy you have like for a long time, and then he rejected you, it does not mean it is the end of everything. There will be one great and better guy waiting for you out there. Same goes for the boy, there will be one great and better girl for you. Below are the quotes from Glee.

"You should know that there is some boy out there who's going to like you for everything you are. Including those parts of you that you don't even like. Those are going to be the things he likes the most."


Does it take time to recover from being rejected? It depends on the person and how he or she fully adapts with the situation. To make you ease the pain effectively and forget about that person you used to admire, all you need to do is just go and make some new friends. Make the past experience as a learning process for you to find a good partner. In addition, the experience you gain can make you stronger later on. As a conclusion, we must put our feeling in the first place rather than other's feeling.

IN MEMORIES OF STEVE JOBS



Steve Paul Jobs or commonly known as Steve Jobs, was the name that had brought many new inventions and invasions towards the digital world today. If we talked about Steve Jobs, there are plenty of things that we can talk about. starting from his early career to his personal life. even the habit of Steve Jobs during his lifespan. its all going to be remembered by all generations that know who Steve Jobs is.

when we talked about Steve Jobs' works, everyone know what are they. They will immediately think of the inventions of iPod, iPad and iPhone. Other than that, they will also thinking about the computer brand named Apple. Apple computer were founded by Jobs, Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in the garage of Jobs' parents. Later on, after they managed to create the latest computer design, they received funding from a then-semi-retired Intel products for a collaboration. Then, Jobs resigned from Apple five month later and founded NeXT Inc. the same year. In his speech at Stanford University in 2005, "The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life." And he added, "I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it." this showed that he glad that he had stopped working for Apple as it was the best thing could happened to him. besides working for NeXT Inc., he also had experience worked with Pixar and Disney. then, he came back again to work with Apple and inventing many good stuff in technology devices.

This public figure also cannot be avoided from his personal life. This was about how he avoided to accept his own wedlock daughter from his past ex-girlfriend. He would not admit Lisa Brennan Jobs until the DNA test prove it they are biologically related. Apart from that matter, he too avoided to meet his biological father even during his last day. He refuse to speak to his biological father even though his father kept sending emails to him.

This person also known for his food habit and clothing habit. Steve has been militant vegan since his teenage years. At one point, he was "fruitarian" - only ate fruits. One of his favorite food is raw carrot without any dipping sauces. even his family doing the same practice by becoming vegan. "I don’t give a shit what I look like," Steve once confided. he always seen in his Levi's blue jeans and black mock turtleneck. Wearing the same dress always make the perfect sense towards this multi-billionnaire.

These are some of the memories made by Steve Jobs before he left this world, he managed to invaded a lots of greatest technology devices and make everyone around him happy.

The Holocaust: What do we know about it?



The Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler became more powerful in Germany. In Greek, “Holocaust” also known as “holokauston” in which it means “sacrifice by fire”. This term used by the Nazi to persecute Jewish people during that time. According to excerpt from the Nazi’s sacred texts, Mein Kampf or My Struggle, Jewish was acknowledged to be liars and cunning. They turned out to be ‘leaches’ among Germans by taking the credits while others were doing their works. So, the Nazi, "Nationalsozialistishe Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), decided to do this genocide. Approximately, around 11 million of people died during this “Final Solution”. More or less, 6 million of them were Jewish and 1.1 million were children and also two-third of all Jews living in Europe.

There were steps when starting this Holocaust. At first, the Nazi announced to boycott all Jewish businesses on April 1, 1933. Then, they introduced Nuremberg Laws on September 15, 1935. The laws made Jews to rule out from the public eyes. The Nuremberg Laws also stripped the German Jews off from their citizenship and prohibited the marriages among Jews and Germans. During November 9-10, 1938, Nazi started to pogrom Jews in Austria and Germany. It has been termed by, “Kristallnacht” (Night of Broken Glass). The Nazi was using violence like physical attacked on Jews, breaking windows and looting of the stores. About 30 000 of Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camp.

Yellow Star of David was introduced after World War II so that the Jews can be easily recognised by the Nazi. The Nazi also made Jews to live in ghettos among themselves. Ghettos were a place in big cities where there were small apartments and the Jews need to move in there and shared it with other families. They also got curfew in which when “open”, they can leave the area, and when it “closed”, that means they were not allowed to leave the area. Later on, when the Nazi wanted to “liquidate” or kill them, they will put them on train.

During this dictator era, there were plenty of Nazi’s camps like concentration camps, extermination camps, labour camps, prisoner-of-war camps, and transit camps. In there, either the victims will be doing physical labour or being torture through medical experiments unwillingly. Death was common and frequent to be happened inside the camps. So, these are the holocaust all about.
