I can't believe its 2010 already. 2009 was mostly boring, nothing overly exciting, with the only hump being graduation... I'm hoping for something to happen this year, preferably before my 21st birthday...

Before I go on... watch this:



This is really funny... I admit I don't know a couple of answers, like who is in the coalition of the willing and the axis of evil but the rest are just stuff we see in the news every freaking day! And the map is phony! Which makes those people look even more stupid!

I was on a double-decker bus on my way home, sitting on the upper deck right behind the stairs. There was this lady coming up halfway and for some reason, she lost her grip and fell back down. I don't know what she looks like cuz I only saw her back, but from her hairstyle and voice, she's probably in her 40s or 50s. Since there wasn't much commotion, I didn't bother to poke my nose into the situation. The strange thing was that, the bus was stable (although it was moving) for her to have gotten up those stairs, since the driver was taking it slow and wasn't breaking and jerking (unlike some others that find the need to break so hard every five metres, it makes me nauseous).

I've been watching House (starting from season 1 and into season 5 now) for the past month. It's hilarious and I love House's witty sarcasm and am so grateful for the writers of the show for being so wonderfully creative. I think the Chase and Cameron pairing is hot, too. Chase is growing on me (=.=), too bad the actors' real life engagement didn't work out, or it would have been so cute! But I noticed something watching an episode a few minutes ago....

Why is it that when someone faints/vomits blood/gets into an accident, that the first reaction that bystanders have is: "Call 911!" (or whatever the emergency number in your country is)? Which is totally fine if you don't have a handphone or some kind of communication device. Hasn't it occured to you that YOU should pick up your own phone and dial the number? Most people these days have mobile phones right in their hands or pockets, so why not call emergency hotline yourself? Someone always asks somebody else to call, which other bystanders repeat till some calm dude has the presence of mind (and actually cares, and not being a busybody who just wants to join the commotion) to whip out the phone and call 911.

And I'm not making this observation without any basis for comparison. Would I have the presence of mind if I was in that kind of situation? I'd say yes, cuz I've done it before. When my cousin (almost) cracked his head open in a public place. It was way bloody... and I was freaked out. The memory is still so clear, I had bloodstains on my shirt and vomit on my feet (eww!). But I managed to call the ambulance and get his parents down before my legs gave way (metaphorically). When you have to be the one in charge, there isn't time to scream and cry. So next time there is an emergency, see if this situation happens. It would be interesting to observe how people behave in pressing situations.

Oh and here is a clip of my sister singing dring a Christmas gathering:
