Have you guys expereinced "The Great Blogger Relaunch"?! No, I have not been paid by them to advertise (although i'm sure I can do a good job if they did...bleh!!!)

But seriously, God bless Google! In their fine acquisition of blooger.com, look at what they have done?! Its like Martha Steward refurnished a whole bedroom (in her hey-days of course, now she's either 'refurnishing' court summons or the slammer dorms..hehe)

New interface page, new templates (my favourite change of course, don't need to struggle with blog-skins no more..no no...), additional add-ons like pictures and lots lots more! Feels like a field day in 'Toys-R-Us'!

And what's more, 'Dictionary.com' has added a word to web search, bringing research work onto a new level! Can you imagine the speed we college essay-writing-machines (which translates to 'Students' to the layman) can reach? I say, what a joy and a glass to the techno-age.

Yet say ye to the irony! The common thread of these sites are the boiler of it all! They all advocate 'Linux' and its 'Free source codes' movement, which Microsoft sets its hell-hounds to guard with lawsuits and fury! The smell of Revolution, the fight of independence, doesn't it feel like a French summer in 1789??? Bloodless, not byte-less.

With news of predicted Microsoft sales dropping due to its next operating system (OS) not coming out till 2006, it opens 'windows' (no pun intended...hehe yah right!) for Linux to concentrate on advancement and forget about catching up; an advantage I feel they greatly need.

Not saying that i'm not excited about the alleged 'LongHorn' OS from Microsoft come 2006, I am and would probably purchase it, but competition would benefit comsumers in an adverse way, in both software and hardware. Just look at it this way, while the cat(Windows) is away, we hope the mouse will grow and come out to play (Linux).

As for me, I'm just enjoying myself, using the techno-edge that I have to better serve the Kingdom of God and of course to entertain my fellow readers such as yourself. So watch out for more entries, columns and responses to the weird world we live in!

And remember...Your Attitude determines your Altitude!

Viva Revolution!

Drawoh.

Angels Brought Me Here Lyrics
by Guy Sebastian

[Verse 1]
It's been a long and winding journey, but i'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces, walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory, where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling, when i look into your eyes...

[Bridge]
My dreams came true, when i found you
I found you, my miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, that you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

[Verse 2]
Standing here before you, feels like i've been born again
Every breath is your love, every heartbeat speaks your name...

[Bridge 2]
My dreams came true, right here in front of you
My miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

[Bridge 3]
Brought me here to be with you,
I'll be forever grateful (oh forever Faithful)
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...
Yes they brought me here...
If you could feel, the tenderness i feel...
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

and I feel so too....

Hi guys! Its so not normal for me, the infantastical Drawoh! Lately, I've been feeling really agitated. Restless, muscle twitching I-wanna-scream-yet-its-a-if-you-scream-you're-lunatic kind of society. I only scream at idealogies, not people.

Number 1, Choir concert is coming up. And I say, I really want it to be perfect to a pin, and i bet everyone in the Choir wants it too. (The sweat and blood, and pins and needles, wood and gigantic golden sissors, oh my!) I'm not saying things are not done, oh on the contrary, everything's going better than expected. That's the thing, its because of this fact and our expectations are rising beyond our previous, and the pressure is mounting. All things will work for the good, I believe,but its the time of waiting that's the most testing. Parre?

Number 2, studying is really fun. Best thing to do now, as compared to stoning and being a public nuisance. (I know people who are not in school, and they are a menace to society...) But, being in JC year 2, whenever I look at my 2-file per subject load, its immense to read through, consolidate and memorise! The sheer amount of notes and info scares people. But i'm prayerful, and we will draw our swords, fight this, and never surrender.

I will survive!
