2008 is Drawing Near...

The month of December 2007 is coming to an end...

Lots of things to ponder... Lots of wonderful, eventful memories that could put a smile on my face... Lots of woeful, forgetful memories that I wish would never occur in my lifetime.

December was full of ups and downs. Good swings and mood swings... It is as though, trying to recapitulate all your lfe in a year within a month... Let's hope that the final day of December does not turn into a "one whole year within a day"... Let's hope not.

One of the utmost eventful things that occur this month was My Mom's admission to the hospital. What was supposed to be a normal check up and observation for a couple of days turned out to be a prolonged experience, filled with sadness and tears. Mom was diagnosed with multiple viral infections that led to her skin being wholly affected, parts of her previously smooth skin was peeling to pieces, turning to dark red and spots of black precisely on the main parts of the body and faces.

I had never seen my mom is such a condition before. It shocked me to bits when the Doctors told me that she had contracted at the very least 3 viruses from her on-going medication and observation spell at the hospital.

Her back sores have turned from bad to worse. It looked like a huge crator had crept on her back.

New Found Addiction

Strange but true...

I have never thought that I would be getting myself indulged in Friendster or Facebook. NEVER.

But then again, I was wrong. Lesson learnt. Never admit that you will never get your hands onto something that you SO DO NOT WANT... life is such that the opposites usually occur. Sometimes, most of the times, they happen beyond your comprehension and expectations.

I got hooked and persuaded by my wife, Aidee, who was introduced to "that new world of networking" via her close buddies (locally & overseas) - a seamless and easier way to get connected and updated at an instant.

The truth - I have never been a big fan of Chatting, IRC or whatever they were back then. Hence, I never wanted to get myself entangle to whatever it is now, although from what I heard initially Facebook and Friendster worked their charms through many "thick walls". The gazillion facets and features in Facebook for e.g. caught many people's attention and grabbed them by the throat, leading to many spending much of their time at home or at work facing the fizzles of Facebook or Friendster.

I have just started. And what hooked me to Facebook (much more than Friendster) in particular is that there are many interesting Trivias we can opt to choose and attempt. And I am a sucker for Trivias and Quizzes. So there goes...

Let us wait and see how far and how prolonged this craze will be...

I wanted to continue writing regularly on my Blogs, but in the end, Regularity comes once too Seldom...
