Moving on

Yup, that's it. I've decide to move on to wordpress. So, find me at http://atomicsunday.wordpress.com/. Thanks to all my friends who supported me while I was at Blogger. Don't worry, this account isn't going anywhere.

Wordpress: What About It?

I just read Rex's blog; said he moved to Wordpress. Out of curiosity, I went over and checked the website. I only have one word: wow. I'm honestly impressed about it. The webpage author managed to keep things looking dandy, clean, uncluttered, as well as a host of feature I didn't bother checking on Blogger(I don't have the time to just go around checking web pages one by one,ditto?). Maybe I'll move to Wordpress, just the same way I moved to Facebook from Friendster. Just maybe.

Hurm...

So, people leave some things behind. No biggie. All you gotta do is move on, right? I'm finding it quite hard to do after a series of events today...

oops....

Simply terrible. Can't put a full picture in....gotta fix it ASAP.

I got this from my dad...

I was snooping around my dad's e-mail account(sorry dad!) when I spotted this particular e-mail. It's from one of my dad's colleague. Profoundly, it stirred me to do something, yet I'm still not sure what to do...hopefully you can think of something.

We need to show this to our kids to understand how other kids are living ……………. AND APPRECIATE THE BLESSINGS WE HAVE EACH SECOND BY THANKING GOD !

'Nuff Said

FAREWELL

I read abt the death of MJ from my phone in the wee hour of the morning(abt 9 am? 3G is so useful). I was surprised. He's just abt to make a comeback to the one industry he knew his whole life. He's not the only celeb star to fade away today; Farah Fawcett passed away today too. We do not dictate wether a person lives or die evryday, only God has that. So, a toast to Michael Jackson, whom I guess is currently thrilling God's ears with his funky music(so where does that leaves FF to do? Hmm....)
