If you have read the newspapers or blogs, I'm sure you know that 2 bloggers are at war. Or rather, it's been a one sided war. One is at holidays not caring about the issue at all, leaving it to her lawyer to handle, while the other has been going on in her blog. Goes to show who's affected more by it.

Whether the claims are true or not, I personally didn't like the tone that X wrote it in. It seems to be with an ill intention. Out to destroy D? who knows? Even if the claims are true, they should be supported with evidence. Anyway, why would someone want to reveal all the "secrets" of another person who has never or seldom have contact with X? The are only a few reasons. Attention or Truth for all? Even if it started with the hottest blogger thingy, I'm quite sure that was based on fan's vote and D had no way to change it. This makes me wonder. When the flames between them are weakened, why the ?smart? move to revive the war flames?

I prefer D's blog. Of course, she is already more pleasing to the eye. Her entries are gentle and allows you to see different places cos she travel frequently. More intellectual entries as well. And they are easy to read. X on the other hand, is more aggressive. Pokes fun of people, more angry entries and also travelling entries. But D's is better as she is more like recommanding places, while X's style is more like out to make u envy her.

Probably both had gone through the great P process. X had for sure. But D is prettier and smarter and more elegant. What is X?

You may find A beautiful one day. You may find B easy to chat with. But The one is always beside you. She's the only person who can predict your thoughts. who understands you the most and cheers you up when you are down. Look carefully with your heart. Is she around you? I've found mine.

I've been planning for this in case I tio toto 1st prize.
And I'm not going to do what primary school kids will do: Donate half to charity. Cos it is very dumb when I can donate a full million after I'm done getting my business going.

So here goes.

1st I will start a business, and I aim to use only half a million to achieve this. What kind of business and etc, etc I haven thought of it, because awesome ppl with awesome business plans will come when I have that million dollars. Ideally, I want something to do with food. Some kind of branded food, like Macdonald's or Sakae sushi. Then this business will go a long way. If I'm contented with a restaurant, then I'll always be a another restaurant owner.

Next, I will be a share holder of a big company in Singapore. Singtel will be a good choice I suppose. Maybe I can get around 3%? Hopefully.

Now this will keep the money coming. Muahahaha

And if everything goes smoothly, I should be living somewhere near Zouk, driving down to Zouk on my Audi R8 every wednesday. And as I step into the VIP area, babes and hunks say hi to me. Then I'll sit down on my usual table, sipping on some Veuve. Of course, everything with my wife.

Oh yea. And 1 million to charity.

I want mind controling powers. MUahaha. In this way, I could get all the rich people to donate 1k to me each. I would never need to pick up any girls anymore, because my powers will make them think I am the hottest. And I will have all the free passes and invites to spectacular event.
When I'm done with personal enjoyment, it's time to change the world. There should be WORLD PEACE and no mre borders. I'll use my powers to make the leaders agree with each other. No one thinks for their own country's interest. All will think of ways to make a better world.
Then when the world is a beautiful place. I'll be with my dearest looking at the stars, thanking God for the gift.
Actually we all can make this world a better place. A small bit at a time.

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that just as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her he asked, "Darling, what do you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.

He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

She humbly asked, "What does it mean, Father?"

He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently.

The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

How about you? Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with pain and adversity do you wilt and become soft and lose your strength?

Are you the egg, which starts off with a malleable heart? Were you a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a divorce, or a layoff have you become hardened and stiff? Your shell looks the same, but are you bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and heart?

Or are you like the coffee bean? The bean changes the hot water, the thing that is bringing the pain, to its peak flavor reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better. If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and make things better around you.

How do you handle adversity?

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?
