<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Mnet</strong>&#8217;s new year-end award ceremony <strong>MAMA</strong> was no doubt a success. Although the show&#8217;s rating clocked in at only just over 3%, today, the entertainment section of every media outlet in Korea was plastered with pictures and stories from this controversy-filled ceremony.</p>
<p>While most of us have learned to focus more on special performances by artists rather than the awards themselves, the awards are still the meat and potato of the ceremony. Star-studded nominee lists, the nervous faces, drum roll getting louder, your heart beating faster, and of course, the winners holding their trophies so dearly while they thank their parents with teary smiles.</p>
<p>So has MAMA&#8217;s distribution of major awards been understandable, or using a word that is so highly debatable, fair? Although many of the <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/and_the_mamas_trophy_goes_to/"><strong>results</strong></a> produced hot reactions, let&#8217;s objectively examine the <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/2009_mama_daesang_winners/"><strong>daesang (main award) winners</strong></a> of MAMA 2009.</p>
<p><strong>Best Song of the Year: <em>I Don&#8217;t Care</em></strong></p>
<p>The honor of the best song of the year went to <strong>2NE1</strong>&#8217;s <em>I Don&#8217;t Care</em>. 2NE1 is a group which can be labeled as super rookies and deserved to win the best new female artist award more than any other groups who were present. However, did <em>I Don&#8217;t Care</em> really deserve to win the song of the year?</p>
<p>Going back to the 2007 MKMF, we came across a similar situation as this year&#8217;s MAMA &#8211; this year, we had 2NE1 as the super rookies, and in 2007, we had world famous <strong>Wonder Girls</strong>. They had taken the nation by storm with their massive hit single <em>Tell Me</em>, resulting in thousands of Koreans dancing to the song and posting the video online. There was no doubt that <em>Tell Me</em> had become something close to a national syndrome, but the award for the best song of the year went to <strong>Big Bang</strong>&#8217;s <em>Lies</em> and the girls ended up with the Best New Female Artist Award. Why? It has been unheard of to give one of the daesang awards to a rookie group. Even legends like <strong>H.O.T.</strong> have not achieved such a feat. The only artist who has ever won a main award as a rookie is <strong>Seo Taiji</strong>. For those who are not so familiar with him, he simply started Kpop.</p>
<p>Now, back to 2NE1. <em>I Don&#8217;t Care</em> was no doubt a popular song, but it is hard to say that it was as popular as <em>Tell Me</em>, yet the song somehow managed to push 2NE1 to a level that nobody has managed to reach since the creator of Kpop did. The only explanation that appears to make sense is that <em>I Don&#8217;t Care</em> was given the honor only because <strong>SNSD</strong>&#8217;s massive hit <em>Gee</em> was not there to claim the title.</p>
<p><strong>Album of the Year: <em>Heartbreaker</em></strong></p>
<p>More controversial than any other recipients of the awards, <strong>G-Dragon</strong>&#8217;s <strong>Heartbreaker</strong> was given the honour of being titled the best album of the year. For reasons that most of our readers are already aware of, <em>Heartbreaker</em> has been under criticism of not only the public and figures in music industry, but also from <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/government_wonders_about_g-dragons_plagiarism_controversy/"><strong>government officials</strong></a>. It was also found to be <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/g-dragons_album_no_longer_suitable_for_minors/"><strong>inappropriate for younger audiences</strong></a> and was rated R.</p>
<p>It appears that the reason why <em>Heartbreaker</em> received the award was the number of sales; the album sold over 120,000 copies as of late last month, making it one of the best selling albums of the year along with <strong>Super Junior</strong>&#8217;s <strong>Sorry Sorry</strong> and Seo Taiji&#8217;s two albums. If the album of the year award was based solely on the number of sales, then <em>Heartbreaker</em> deserves it. However, one must also take other factors into consideration. <em>Heartbreaker</em> has been received negatively by the public and the critics for plagiarism issues, and giving such an album the honour of being named the best of the year appears to be a little out of line. The problem is that Super Junior and Seo Taiji both did not make an appearance at MAMA, making it impossible to award the title to an album that is both high in sales record and free of negative criticism. Again, <strong>SM Entertainment</strong>&#8217;s boycott plays into the award.</p>
<p><strong>Artist of the Year: 2PM</strong></p>
<p>The Artist of the Year, while not as fiercely contested in public opinion as the other two main awards due to the sympathetic view Koreans hold regarding <strong>Jaebeom</strong>, is being debated over as well. There is no doubt that <strong>2PM</strong> rose to immense fame &#8211; or notoriety &#8211; this year, but in order to qualify for the artist of the year award, it is implied that the artist must have made some musical achievement during the year. Has 2PM made enough musical progress to be named the artist of the year over many other talented nominees? Or, have they been given the award solely based on either the sympathy the nation feels for their loss or the drama value of them crying for Jaebeom?</p>
<p><strong>Intentionally headline-grabbing award results?</strong></p>
<p>If you have forgotten, MAMA had been claiming that they will have Jaebeom appear at the ceremony. Controversy is what they have been aiming for. While we&#8217;re on the topic of drama value, the <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/tvxqs_heartwarming_appearance_at_the_mamas/"><strong>appearance of three</strong> <strong>TVXQ</strong> <strong>members</strong></a> and their acceptance speech for the award of Best Representative of Asia best represents what MAMA aims to do with this ceremony. The three members appeared to accept a seemingly meaningless award, then gave &#8220;heartfelt&#8221; lines that no news reporter would pass up if they were in their right minds. The appearance of TVXQ members had nothing to do with giving an award to artists that have contributed to the Korean music industry; it was to create more controversy and attract more attention.</p>
<p>As discussed above, the reason behind the credibility of MAMA being under criticism is possibly due to the fact that its <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/the_unfortunate_story_behind_mnet_and_sm_entertainment/"><strong>uncomfortable relationship with SME</strong></a> stopped SME&#8217;s artists from appearing at the ceremony, combined with the ceremony&#8217;s focus on more controversial, attention-grabbing content rather than fair and credible distribution of awards.</p>
<p>So what can Mnet do in order to improve MAMA? In my opinion, MAMA should minimize or get rid of the award ceremony format and stick to what it does the best: featuring special performances. Artists have put in lots of time and effort into preparing once-in-a-lifetime stages for the fans and it is unfortunate to see them being buried by controversy and drama surrounding awards. With their credibility down to the ground, perhaps Mnet should just focus on a concert-esque celebration rather than controversial awards that result in debates and boycotts. That way, we might get to see <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/sm_entertainment_boycotts_mama/"><strong>SME artists</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/trot_singers_boycott_mama/"><strong>trot singers</strong></a> perform in next year&#8217;s MAMA.</p>

I haven&#8217;t died (though you&#8217;d know that if you followed me on <a href="http://twitter.com/lolyle/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>!), and I haven&#8217;t come down with some illness that&#8217;s effected my typing skills. So you&#8217;re probably wondering what the hell happened to me. Well, I got lazy. It happens from time to time. Forgive me.</p>
<p>So, what has happened in the last couple of months&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>I&#8217;m a legal driver.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m now a senior in High School.</li>
<li>I&#8217;ve become involved in NSSSA. (More on that, later!)</li>
<li>I did FINALLY receive my iPhone. (Rogers SUCKS, by the way.)</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s really about it! I&#8217;m a pretty simple guy.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>TO SAY SORRY IS A GOOD MISTAKE?</p>
<p>Often, in establishing your righteousness, you are insensitive to others&#8217; feelings. When someone is hurt, arguing with them and establishing your righteousness will be in vain.</p>
<p>By saying a simple &#8220;Sorry&#8221;, you can uplift the other and take away the bitterness. In many situations saying &#8220;Sorry&#8221; is better than establishing your righteousness. It can avert much unpleasantness. This one word of five letters, when said sincerely can remove anger, guilt, hatred and distance.</p>
<p>Many people feel pride in hearing &#8220;Sorry&#8221; from others. This boosts their ego. But when you say &#8220;Sorry&#8221; to a wise man, it evokes compassion at your ignorance. However, when you say &#8220;Sorry&#8221; to your Guru, He will get angry and say, &#8220;Go! Listen to Ashtavakra!&#8221; (Laughter) For your saying &#8220;Sorry&#8221; indicates doership. You feel that YOU have MADE a mistake.</p>
<p>A mistake is part of an unconscious mind. An unconscious mind cannot do right. A conscious mind can do no wrong. The mind which makes the mistake and the mind which realizes the mistake &#8211; saying &#8220;Sorry&#8221; &#8211; are entirely different, aren&#8217;t they? The mind which says &#8220;Sorry&#8221; cannot be an unconscious mind. Therefore, saying &#8220;Sorry&#8221; sincerely is a BIG MISTAKE!!!</p>
<p>Did you get it or are you confused? If you didn&#8217;t get it, don&#8217;t feel sorry or you can feel sorry!! (Laughter)</p>
<p>How strange &#8211; truth is paradoxical!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Heya guys sorry for my lack of posts my life is so hectic at the moment, trying to fit in study with more enjoyable things. Up and coming are pictures of some simple tote bags that I made from the woolen fabric that I got hold of from the scrap store. I also tried a new technique on the machine, free stitching to add some detail to the bags. Its not too impressive but good for a first try.</p>
<p>Maybe I should try and post up a simple tutorial&#8230;. I&#8217;m no expert but it will show it simply and the way I do it. Im probably doing it completely the wrong way around but it works for me.</p>
<p>I will try to post the pictures tomoz. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Haven&#8217;t posted for a while due to quite a serious illness which manifested itself as a full week with no food or sleep. And this, although rather inconvenient at the time, provided me with a lot of stuff to write about.</p>
<p>This is a realisation I had whilst recovering in my empty house back in Sheffield.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>A Letter of Apology</strong></p>
<p>Dear _______</p>
<p>I fear that I have been somewhat unfair. Things I said were exaggerated and unjust. So I return with guilt-ridden eyes cast to the ground in shame to beg forgiveness of you who I feel bore me and raised me. You who saw me through all my phases, you who saw me through all my ages, you who provided for them, you who forced me to grow up, you who shook me awake, you who bored me and I abandoned.</p>
<p>No regret there, but what I said and I embarrassed you it was all wrong. Because here I am now, a temporary refugee from the very thing I left you for, crawling broken and crying, seeking shelter and warm. Recovering in relative solitude, licking my wounds red faced and defiant but disheartened. Spirits are so low, so I’ve used the last of my strength and climbed back over my wall out of the wind. I’ve promised myself that this is the last time, that the comfort scares me, but you‘re always there, and no matter how I pretend, a safety net is always a nice thing to have. I don‘t want to get rid of it just yet. But I promise that you won’t be the victim of any agitated, half-deranged barrage of such venomous language again.</p>
<p>All of my love,</p>
<p>Greg</p>

<description><![CDATA[Hello there, how are you? Today I was browsing the Internet, acquiring some knowledge if you prefer ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h1 style="text-align:center;">Hello there, how are you?</h1>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Today I was browsing the Internet, acquiring some knowledge if you prefer to call it like that, and I came across a posting that had the right path of creativity, therefore, I decided to re-invent it, edit it, and change it for your delightful entertainment.  Hopefully all of us girls can identify.. By all means, if you want to add another point, be my guest, this list can only keep getting better, that way we will find PRINCE CHARMING…</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;">My Boyfriend Application and Test</h1>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/groomsmen.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-47 alignnone" title="groomsmen" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/groomsmen.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></h1>
<p style="text-align:center;">First, a little about me. I&#8217;m a 26-year-old, very  good looking and intelligent Latina, with a full time Job and  attending University. I&#8217;m tired of wasting my time, so I have formulated some mandatory criteria in part A, and part B is based on points.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lips1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-64" title="lips" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lips1.jpg" alt="" width="495" height="306" /></a></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lips.jpg"></a></div>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Part A</span></em></strong></p>
<p>1) You must be born male. I’ll need to see a birth certificate proving so.<a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/williamqf61.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-65" title="williamqf6" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/williamqf61.jpg?w=112" alt="" width="112" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>2) You must own something to wear to a formal reception. And at least a couple formal shoes.<br />
3) You must not own or ever wear Birkenstocks, crocs footwear or wrangler jeans. Or wear your jeans so low, that  I can see the end of your briefs.<br />
4) All your parts need to be in good working order, further testing will need to be conducted of course.<br />
5) I can’t accept a regular drug user. Despite CA culture, I am including weed.<br />
<a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/josh_duhamel_jun_3_2007_7jsh1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-66" title="josh_duhamel_jun_3_2007_7jsh" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/josh_duhamel_jun_3_2007_7jsh1.jpg?w=111" alt="" width="111" height="150" /></a>6) You must own at least four collared dress shirts. You need to look presentable standing next to me.<br />
7) Your height must be proportional to your weight using the standard AMA guidelines. (fyi, I do prefer them taller than me, so you have to be at least 6 feet) .<br />
 <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> You must have a couple photos which were  taken in the last 2 months.<br />
9) English must be your first language. However you need to have a pretty good understanding of Spanish and Latin culture, or at least a desire to learn.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you meet all of the requirements above then you may continue, if not, then you are now dismissed but thank you for applying to be my boyfriend.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Now: give yourself two points for each of the following criteria you meet</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Part B</span></strong></em></p>
<p>1) You have (or are working on) a degree.<br />
2) You own a car and have a valid driver&#8217;s license. Suspended for DUIs: minus 10 points.<a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/project_khan_bentley_continental_gt-s-01.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-52" title="project_khan_bentley_continental_gt-s-01" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/project_khan_bentley_continental_gt-s-01.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">3) If your car is better and newer than mine add 5 points<br />
4) You’ve never worn Ed Hardy, Affliction or any other Christian Audigier affiliated brand.</p>
<p>5) If 80% of your shoes can be described as sneakers take minus 5 points.<br />
6) You follow at least one professional sport.<br />
7) You have skills in bed. Not because you think you do, because your past experiences have told you.<br />
 <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> You are not a born again Christian, Jehovah’s Witness or any other kind of religious fanatic.<br />
9) You have been to at least three countries outside of the US.<br />
10) You don’t need to call a handy man if something breaks around the house.<br />
<a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/romanic_dinner.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-53" title="romanic_dinner" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/romanic_dinner.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>11) You know how to cook a meal for two. (Eggs, instant noodles, sandwiches, lean cuisine do not count as a meal)</p>
<p>12) You actually do shores around the house, like doing dishes after I cooked, help cleaning the kitchen, bringing flowers, wine etc..<br />
13) You like stepping out of your bubble and trying new things like different cuisine, bungee jumping, salsa dancing.<br />
14) You can make it through a romantic comedy without complaining (don’t worry we don’t have to tell your friends).<br />
15) You have a great sense of humor. Are people laughing with you, or at you?<br />
16) You can plan a good date without any help or advice from me. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know, what do you want to do&#8221; isn&#8217;t an answer.<br />
17) You work out and enjoy being physically active. I hit the gym regularly, you should too. <a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/forma.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-54" title="Aaron Burdsall" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/forma.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a><br />
18) You have a job that requires more than a high school diploma.<br />
19) You read books, or at least you read the newspaper, so we can talk about worldwide subjects.  </p>
<p>20) You are an educated individual. You challenge my intellectual abilities.<br />
21) You have a 5 year goal.<br />
<a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/depppa0111_468x3561.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-56" title="deppPA0111_468x356" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/depppa0111_468x3561.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="114" /></a>22) You aren&#8217;t afraid of being yourself, even if you have a dorky, nerdy side. (that’s kinda hot).<br />
23) You&#8217;re competitive, and I don&#8217;t mean you like to battle it out on Wii with your buddies on the weekends.<br />
24) You know how to dance.</p>
<p>25) You are spontaneous and creative.</p>
<p>26) You are secure about yourself and us. Meaning I’m not looking for a jealous, immature, insecure chauvinistic pig. People are going to check us out. Just enjoy the ride, at the end of the night I’m going home with you.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">27) Last but not least, you can acknowledge when you screw up, and say sorry;  flowers and a romantic dinner might help you get some points back. <a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/flower-monmartre.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-57 aligncenter" title="flower-monmartre" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/flower-monmartre.jpg?w=123" alt="" width="123" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you have a score of 40+ then please contact me immediately. If you scored between 20-35 pts, you can contact me, but I don&#8217;t have a lot of hope for our future relationship. If you did not score high enough, then please do not contact me, but if at some time in the future you are able to improve yourself and meet the minimum requirements, then you may re-apply.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You MUST respond with your age (this is a creeper free zone, 25-36 year olds only please) and your picture.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I thank you in advance for your application, however, only successful candidates will receive a response.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/college-applications1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59" title="application form" src="http://usannaiz.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/college-applications1.jpg" alt="" width="401" height="299" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">fyi.. I&#8217;m not trying to be rude or insult anyone..</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This blog is just for fun, and to make you laugh!</p>

<description><![CDATA[(1 Samuel 25-27)How many times do we say we&#8217;re sorry, but how many times do we actually mean i]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>(1 Samuel 25-27)<br />How many times do we say we&#8217;re sorry, but how many times do we actually mean it?</p>
<p>Throughout the story, Saul <i>says</i> he&#8217;s sorry, but actions that follow dont back his words.&#160; His son, Jonathan, once confronted him, telling him that he was acting foolish in the way he was treating David.&#160; Then, in a moment of sobriety it seems, Saul looks at his son and says, &#8220;You know what?&#160; You&#8217;re right.&#160; And I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;</p>
<p>But does he stop trying to kill David?&#160; Is he really sorry for sticking to his personal vendetta, fueled by selfish jealousy and insecurity?&#160; <i>No</i>.</p>
<p>Later he&#8217;s just exited the cave where David could&#8217;ve killed him, but didnt, shearing just the corner of his robe instead.&#160; Then it&#8217;s David who confronts him at a distance, asking Saul, &#8220;Why?&#160; Why are you acting this way?&#160; What have I done?!&#8221;&#160; And Saul again, for just that moment, says &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now <i>again</i> in today&#8217;s passage&#8211;another opportunity for David to kill Saul, sneaking into the camp seemingly to do just that but leaving with only Saul&#8217;s spear and water jug.&#160; <i>Again</i>, it&#8217;s David who asks Saul why.&#160; And <i>again</i>, Saul admits to being wrong.</p>
<p>But by the end of my reading today, Saul&#8217;s back at it, pursuing his selfish vendetta against a servant who has only been faithful, even when he had every reason not to be.</p>
<p>Saul might have <i>said</i> he was sorry, but he didnt stick with it.&#160; It may have sounded good; it was certainly genuine&#8211;that moment of clarity perhaps&#8211;but without follow-through, the words were empty as a bag of coffee when the last pot&#8217;s been brewed.</p>
<p>We have to stick to our sorries, or sorry is just a word.</p>
<p>Our apologies are only genuine if actively practiced.</p>
<p>Repentance is a <i>lifestyle, </i>not a printed confession in some church bulletin that&#8217;s run week in and week out.</p>
<p>We must <i>live</i> the words I&#8217;m sorry, not by thinking that we are somehow making up for what we have done, but by trying to go and surely sin no more.</p>
<p>In life we get stuck in ruts, and we come to God and loved ones saying we&#8217;re sorry, but it often tends to be the <i>same</i> thing we&#8217;re apologizing for; subsequently, there comes a point&#8211;I believe even with God&#8211;that the words just dont cut it anymore, not without actions.</p>
<p>Saul said he was sorry and he meant it, but he didnt follow through with it.&#160; We must go out and, yes, <i>say</i> we&#8217;re sorry, but then we need to stick with it&#8211;to break that pattern, to pave a detour around that road that has become a rut, to start living in a way where the words &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8221; appear in our vocabulary less and less.</p>
<p>No matter how hard we try, there will always be occasions for apologies&#8211;it&#8217;s just how we&#8217;re put together, beastly beauties that we can be.&#160; But by Grace, each day, we can begin anew, just like every player gets to skate out of the penalty box.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>          I made the decision.  I&#8217;m counting you out now.  I’m cutting the tie.  I&#8217;ve grown weary of being forgotten, ignored, and belittled.  Sorry my socioeconomic status makes you think of me as some lower life form.  Sorry I call things like I see them and am not afraid to do so.  Sorry I&#8217;m honest with you. Sorry you can&#8217;t take the SLIGHTEST amount of criticism.  Sorry you can&#8217;t take any credit for MY song.  Sorry that money has really warped your sense of reality.  And I’m sorry your precious book is all you have.  May you make millions of empty dollars&#8230; I could go on, but there really is no need &#8211; you are already discrediting this entry as being something only a peasant would do.  And we wouldn’t want to associate with those, now would we?  Have a blessed day!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>x-posted from my tumblr account. i&#8217;ll very rarely do this, but this one means a lot to me.</strong></p>
<p>this song is a lot like certain things in my life. i never appreciated what it meant until much too late. now, whenever i hear this song, my heart shatters.</p>
<p>i used to hear it, and it would make me happy i hear it now, and it means something totally different.</p>
<p>i want the old meaning back. i don’t like the new feelings this song stirs up.</p>
<p>if a miracle happens and i can fix everything, this will be our song. hopefully, by then, it won’t mean or bring on pain.</p>
<p><em>remembering everything<br />
about my world and when you came;<br />
wondering the change you’d bring<br />
means nothing else would be the same.<br />
did you know what you were doing, did you know?<br />
did you know how you would move me? well,<br />
i don’t really think so.<br />
but the night came down and swept us away,<br />
and the stars they seemed<br />
to paint the most elaborate scene today.</p>
<p>how could we know? that song, this show;<br />
we’d learn so much about ourselves.<br />
from toledo, to tokyo,<br />
the words were scribed on every page,<br />
and now there’s books up on our shelves.<br />
did you know how you would move us, did you know?<br />
when the lights first came upon us,<br />
and we saw the everglow,<br />
and the moment’s magic swept us away,<br />
and the young mans dream was almost seen so plain.</p>
<p>when was the night that showed us the sign,<br />
revealed in the sky, to leave all behind?<br />
but where to begin? throwing caution to the wind,<br />
we reached for the stars; everything was now ours.</p>
<p>did you know how you would move me, did you know?<br />
did you know how you would move me?<br />
well, i don’t even think so.<br />
but the moment’s magic swept us away.<br />
and it’s so close, but we’re so far away.<br />
it’s so close, but we’re so far away.</em></p>

<description><![CDATA[A year or two ago a young couple lost their two-month-old son. They had him in bed with them and one]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A year or two ago a young couple lost their two-month-old son. They had him in bed with them and one of them must have rolled over on him in the night because when they woke up in the morning their beautiful baby boy was dead.  A pastor friend of mine and I went over to their house that night. You talk about heartache!  The boy’s daddy, a young fella, kept wallowing in the floor saying “<em>God is judging me &#8211; God is judging me!</em>”  The pastor was trying to show them some scriptures when the mother blurted out: “<em>I just don&#8217;t see how there can be a God</em>.”And before you criticize her, you just wait till you wake up beside <em>your </em>dead baby.</p>
<p>I  said “Ma&#8217;am my heart goes out to you &#8211; I won&#8217;t try to say I know what you&#8217;re going through because I don&#8217;t.  But I was reading a story this afternoon about a lady who had lost her baby boy too.  She went to her pastor and said “<em>Where was God when my boy died?</em>”</p>
<p>He was stunned by the question like we all would be but he thought for a moment and said “<em>Ma&#8217;am, God was in the same place He was when His Son died 2000 years ago</em>.”  And I&#8217;m telling you there&#8217;s a God in heaven that knows what it’s like to lose a baby boy. He knows what it&#8217;s like to lose a loved one and He can sympathize with your pain.</p>
<p>On top of that, I believe the grace of God takes care of little children and that baby’s in Heaven right now.  And if mama and daddy are Christians – they might have to spend 40, 50, or even 60 years apart from their child and I know that sounds like such a long time.  But looking back, 10,000 years from now, it won’t seem like that long at all.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Today, in our <strong>7th grade Pre-Confirmation class</strong>, <strong>parents were invited</strong> to come to class for orientation of the upcoming year and review of the last 9 classes.  We opened with a review of <strong>&#8220;incarnation&#8221; </strong>and the <strong>&#8220;Angelus&#8221; </strong>for an opening prayer.  Then I reviewed the different prayer types with <strong>B.A.P.T.i.S.M</strong>..  Then we played <a href="http://www.classroomjeopardy.com/" target="_blank"><em><strong>Jeopardy!</strong></em></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://catholickermit.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mary-mother-of-god-holding-sacred-heart-bible-rosary-2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1955 alignright" title="Mary-Mother-of-God-holding-sacred-heart-Bible-rosary-2" src="http://catholickermit.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mary-mother-of-god-holding-sacred-heart-bible-rosary-2.jpg?w=209" alt="" width="209" height="300" /></a>“Angelus” Prayer<br />
</strong>(<em>The Angel of the Lord</em>)</p>
<p>[<em>Lead</em>:]  The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,<br />
[<em>ALL</em>:]  <strong>And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.<br />
HAIL MARY, full of grace …</strong></p>
<p>[<em>Lead</em>:]  Behold the handmaid of the Lord,<br />
[<em>ALL</em>:]  <strong>Be it done unto me according to Thy word.<br />
HAIL MARY, full of grace …</strong></p>
<p>[Lead:]  And the Word was made flesh,   [<em>bow during</em>]<br />
[ALL:]  <strong>And dwelt among us.<br />
HAIL MARY, full of grace …</strong></p>
<p>[Lead:]  Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,<br />
[ALL:]  <strong>That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.</strong></p>
<p>[Lead:]  Let us pray.<br />
[ALL:]  <strong>Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord,<br />
Thy grace into our hearts;  that we,<br />
to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son,<br />
was made known by the message of an angel,<br />
may by His Passion and Cross<br />
be brought to the glory of His Resurrection,<br />
through the same Christ Our Lord.<br />
AMEN.</strong></p>
<h1><strong><em>Types of prayers</em></strong> … <strong>B.A.P.T.</strong><strong>i</strong><strong>.S.M.</strong></h1>
<ul>
<li><strong>BLESSING</strong> – invoke God’s power for a person, place or activity</li>
<li><strong>ADORATION</strong> – the “created” before the Creator</li>
<li><strong>PRAISE</strong> – glory God (for who He is)</li>
<li><strong>THANKSGIVING</strong> – gratitude (for what He does)</li>
<li><strong>i ASK</strong> for ME (<strong>petition</strong>) + OTHERS (<strong>intercession</strong>)</li>
<li><strong>SORRY</strong> – ask of forgiveness</li>

</ul>
<p>The <strong>MASS includes ALL</strong> these types of prayer</p>
<p>We played <a href="http://www.classroomjeopardy.com/" target="_blank"><em><strong>Classroom Jeopardy!</strong></em></a> with teams of <strong>parents &#38; kids</strong>.  With almost perfect attendance, only 5 kids came without parents and everyone seemed to have a great time playing.  Most categories were facts we&#8217;ve covered in class like <em>&#8220;Jewish Roots,&#8221; &#8220;Gotta Have Faith,&#8221; &#8220;Facebook Jesus,&#8221; &#8220;Catholic Pop Quiz,&#8221; &#8220;Catholic Prayers,&#8221; &#8220;Angels &#38; Demons,&#8221; and &#8220;A.R.R.R. You Listening?&#8221; </em> Then there was the more entertaining categories like <em>&#8220;Chronicles of Narnia,&#8221; &#8220;Anything Goes,</em>&#8221; and the favorite <em><strong>&#8220;Candy Bars.&#8221; </strong></em> A great time for all.  I can&#8217;t wait to bring the parents back soon!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 11:20pm Post qua từ FB &#8230; hận. Là bởi, nếu chỉ có mỗi yêu thương]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="text-align:right;"><em>Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 11:20pm<a href="http://www.facebook.com/Dexuxu?v=feed&#38;story_fbid=200326472144#"></a></em></div>
<div style="text-align:right;">
<div style="text-align:right;"><em>Post qua từ FB</em></div>
<div></div>
<div style="text-align:left;"><em>&#8230; hận. </em></p>
<p><em>Là bởi, nếu chỉ có mỗi yêu thương thôi, thì sẽ không bao giờ đủ.</em></p>
<p>Chưa bao giờ quên bẵng ngày tháng như những ngày này. Quên hôm nào là hạn chót cái này, quên hôm nào là bắt đầu cái kia. Quên hôm nay phải gọi điện, ngày mai phải nhắn tin. Quên sáng học hay chiều ở nhà. Quên 7-11 là gì, quên cả 11-11 là gì.</p>
<p>Ngày có 4 con số 1, cứ tưởng chưa đến đã nhớ, hóa ra đi rồi mà vẫn không hề để ý. Buồn gì đâu.</p>
<p>Chiều đi viếng em trai đứa bạn, đến trễ một bước nên chỉ còn có thể thắp nhang và nhìn cậu bé cười qua ảnh. Nụ cười mờ ảo qua khói nhang, mong manh mà hiền lắm. Nụ cười đẹp nhất trong những lần hiếm hoi được gặp mặt em, chỉ là từ nay chắc chị không còn thấy những nụ cười khác của em nữa. Không hiểu sao chị không khóc được, chắc là vì em đang cười.</p>
<p>Lâu lắm mới lại gặp bạn bè cũ như vậy, nói nhân cái dịp này thì cũng chả đúng, mà nói nhân cái dịp này, thì cũng chả sai. Mình cười nhiều nhất có lẽ là khi bị hỏi, mày sống sao mà cái gì cũng hông biết vậy cưng. Ờ, chắc tại quên sống đó thôi. &#8220;Nhiều khi tim đang đập vẫn chưa chắc là đang sống&#8221;, ai từng nói câu này thiệt đúng gì đâu.</p>
<p>Quên tới mức khi mày nhướng mắt nhìn tao, kêu &#8220;Giận mày luôn, ghét mày luôn!&#8221;, tao cũng hông nhớ là giận cái gì mà ghét cái gì. Đến khi ai nhắc đến 4 số 1 thì tao mới à. À, má ơi! Chữ &#8220;quên&#8221; nó nhẹ đến mức chắc chỉ cần há miệng thôi là nó bay ra ngoài rồi. Nhưng mà tao không nói được chữ đó, vì tao không cho tao quyền quên.</p>
<p>&#8230; Hjc, mà đã quên rồi còn đâu.</p>
<p>Tao không xin lỗi nữa đâu, vì nếu chất thêm 1 câu xin lỗi này nữa vào cái danh sách tao xin lỗi trong quá khứ, thì chắc nó cao cũng bằng chiều cao của tao với mày rồi. Tao chỉ đang nghĩ thôi, là tao không xứng, phải không?</p>
<p>Biết là mày hiểu mà. Nếu có lần sau, chắc mày chỉ lại nhướng mắt rồi cười với tao, vậy thôi phải không? Chỉ có tao biết, là tao không xứng tí nào hết.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hey guys! Its kat! Ive been watching and viewing my clustermaps and views lately. I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE! But I have good news and bad news, as usual, i will do bad news first. The bad news is, due to many tests every week for me with my puffle middle school, me and misty are losing much time to update this blog. And sadly, my goal of being a famous club penguin blogger is starting to crash, due to me and her losing interest little by little of blogging and a little bit of Club Penguin. My membership will also expire today or tomorrow. BUT: Here is the good news: If i get over 10 comments on my site, I will keep going on for this blog (just to make sure people are viewing this blog) for a very long time, trying my best to be active, and have cool stuff in the future, being very sucessful! I will also renew my membership. So, I don&#8217;t want to miss all these upcoming AWESOME club penguin stuff, <strong>SO COMMENT RIGHT AWAY!!! </strong>It means SOOO MUCH. You have nooo idea. Please do so, because if I don&#8217;t get any comments, I will make a last post, saying I am quitting this blog. I am soo sorry&#8230;so please decide, go ahead and comment. It will mean so much!!! Thanks! School is tough, you know, but with a blog and school, education is always first. Who knows, maybe ill be famous in the future. But comment. I need to see, if I don&#8217;t get any comments about near 10 in one and a half weeks. I am quitting. THIS is a warning. Im sooo sorry like I said. School involves so much work. Ok guys, thats all! <strong>COMMENT! Thanks, God bless, Happy Thanksgiving!</strong></p>
<p><strong>love always, peace, waddle on, god bless, reports in im out:</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[If we are to believe the Global Language Monitor, there are now more than 1 million words in the Eng]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>If we are to believe the <a href="http://www.languagemonitor.com/" target="_blank">Global Language Monitor</a>, there are now more than 1 million words in the English language.</p>
<p>How they manage to count the English words is beside the point, my point here is that there are so many words in the English language now more than ever yet I always find myself using the same familiar words most of the times. Although, I’m well aware that it could just be the result of my limited vocabulary as English is not really my first language,  what fascinates me is that even my friends whose first language is English also has the same problem.</p>
<p>Here are my top 5 most overused words.</p>
<p><strong>1. </strong><strong>Sorry?</strong></p>
<p>This is often used when you ask somebody to repeat what they’ve just said as you didn’t get it the first time. There are so many words of this kind, like pardon me?, say again?, what’s that?, hay?, etc. But I, more often than not, use the word &#8220;sorry?&#8221;</p>
<p>As I’m so used to the American accent, being in Europe seems very challenging for me, especially in my early months. I managed to cope with it eventually but still I’m struggling sometimes. That’s why when I’m having a conversation with someone with a thick accent, the word &#8220;sorry?&#8221; comes in handy. And believe you me, there hasn&#8217;t been a day in the office when I haven&#8217;t used this word. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>2. </strong><strong>Umm</strong></p>
<p>My college professor in public speaking would probably cringe when she hears me now using the “Umm” word again and again.</p>
<p>“Umm” is use to fill in those spaces in between your sentences when you are still groping for the next words to say.</p>
<p>I was told that the use of “Umm” is the result of your mouth going faster than your brain. Think of it like a supply and consumption thing. Whilst your brain is supplying your mouth with words in the fastest way it can, your mouth on the other hand is consuming the words even faster. Hence, somewhere down the line a gap is created. And what do we do in between those gaps? Yeah, we use the word “Umm”. Apparently, the easy remedy for this is to speak slowly, which, I just couldn’t get myself to do. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>3. </strong><strong>Like</strong></p>
<p>I don’t know where I get this word but I think I just kinda picked this up from the way people around me talk. This word is often used unnecessarily in a sentence. I normally use this word when I am telling a story. Check out the story below.</p>
<p><em>Like last night, I was like walking in town and there was like this group of drunkards who were like shouting at each other. So I was like a bit terrified to walk past near them.</em></p>
<p>You see, I could use the word “like” so many times, unnecessarily without even realising it. That’s how I normally tell a story to my friends and surprisingly, they too.</p>
<p><strong>4. </strong><strong>Stuff</strong></p>
<p>This word is a generic name for everything. As such it could be use in so many ways and it has so many different meanings. Sometimes you use &#8220;stuff&#8221; when you are referring to something but you don’t wanna be very specific, like in the sentence, “I need to do some stuff tonight.”</p>
<p>I guess the magic of this word is that you can twist it in whatever way you prefer and it would still means something.</p>
<p><strong>5. </strong><strong>You know</strong></p>
<p>Just like “Umm”, this phrase is use when you are still groping for the right words to use or when you run out of words and you want to fill that void in your sentence. So instead of saying the word, you end up saying “you know” which I think is a short form of “you know what I mean”.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/FhXMANu3-XQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/FhXMANu3-XQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>So those are my top 5 most overused words. Care to share yours?</p>
