    every year, i read my annual fortune paper and it always tell me the same ****in shit regarding 'love' lmao.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    Things I remember from childhood that I don't see around much anymore:

    1. drive-in movie theaters

    2. full-service gas stations

    3. pay telephone booths

    4. record stores

    5. local, independent cinemas

    I still see quite a bit of those here, maybe b/c I like movies and thus pay attention to this subject.

    For me, I notice more when something from my childhood has been eradicated by society:

    -A drive
    -B drive
    -VHS tapes
    -crappily designed websites (still some, but much better than when the internet first started)
    -portable CD players
    -CRT monitors
    忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」

    Went for a talk on social enterprises. Quite interesting with the many ideas suggested. E.g. toys for special needs children.

    Gosh, lunch made me so full. I think I cannot eat fajitas for a meal any more, unless I want to sleep right after.

    There's a reason that people in many countries take a siesta after lunch.

    Just finished re-watching Project Ji Xiang (?) starring Kenneth Chan and Joey Meng. I like the idea of them together, at least in the series.

    Oh, and I just realized that Vietnamese language doesn't use the alphabet letters J, W, and F instead we have two Ds with one that has a line across and a Ph that takes place of an F. Well, at least I haven't seen a Vietnamese word that starts or uses J,W, and F.
    What about everyone else language?

    I have a portable floppy disk drive to make up for the absence of drive A in my notebook. But, I hardly ever use it anymore. Most of the computers in my workplace still have drive A thought. Haha, I miss drive B too. I remember using it when I was a kid in school. At that time, the computer has only green letters,

    ooh, I still remember the noise it made when the A/B drive read a disc. It was hard work!

    Good for you that you've found happiness and success in your own life, but you really should stop putting down and mistreating others who haven't enjoyed similar happiness and success. You've already got yours, so what good does it do for you to step on those who haven't gotten theirs yet...and might never?

    *sigh* To be forever admired from afar...

    If it causes mass panic then maybe yes. Otherwise... isn't this just exercising their free speech right while being a little crazy?
