.... and enjoy life a bit more.
I do hope the higher-ups would awaken from their long slumbers and celebrations.. and take notice, now that university students seem to have added daggers to their study kits; now that the people of SL seem to have resorted to taking the law into their hands... everyday the newspapers bring us fresh news of stabbings, shootings and murders; where the others take the initiative (maybe in the absence of acceptable laws) and the suspect is killed...
What about all the university students turning to stabbing each other (or trying) with daggers and swords.. veritable fencing schools they have turned into... We should offer education at a prize (yes, I know it's a loooong standing argument) maybe then they will learn to use their time more profitably.
What about the suspect who was killed by villagers, coz he killed his wife and in-laws?
Heard about the prisoners turning against the government and starving themselves, just coz the army was asked to check them extra hard?
How about the Staff at Cancer hospital refusing to hand in transfer forms when the Minister threatened to transfer them coz they were on strike? What about the patients who may seriously have only a little more days to live??
How about our ministers arguing (it was on radio today morning) about what sort of sword it really was that disappeared (is it a sword, a dagger, a walking stick???) and not what they should do about finding it?

No offence, but I do think Lord Buddha, Jesus and all the others TOGETHER, would have a hard time putting our people right!!
Well, so we won the war... so now what? Do I have to peek around trees in Col. 07, hoping I won't be another poor victim of a university student clash??
And the roads are still closed almost every day, whatever the newspapers may deem to inform you....
On a better note, I caught a young traffic policeman petting and talking to two dogs near Police Park =) Some hope reins at least .... **sigh**

Through the looking glass - so to speak!
What a way to start my day :( Woke up to a text saying Michael
Jackson had passed away. The wording itself seems so unbelievable, I
felt as if I'd been hit by a truck!! I grew up with MJ, his music,
his voice, I loved the way he danced, the way he managed to emanate real emotion through his songs, his music seemed so uplifting at times
when I was down... I love nearly all his songs, which seem to actually
change according to my moods and moments... believing that the moon is
indeed made of green cheese is actually way more easy than the fact
that "The King of Pop" is no more...

He was just 50 =( It's kinda hard to think of MUSIC without him. Some
of the first music sheets I learnt to play were his early hits.
I'm guessing this will be the first post in most blogs today. I'm also
guessing that maybe this is actually a FAD that belongs to my
generation. Whatever he may have said and done in his life, you cannot
overide the beauty and sheer wonder of his music. The incredible
ability he had to let the music flow through his body and actually
manage to let the listeners feel it themselves. The extrodinay twists,
turns and zwinges executed in his brilliant dance acts, that never
failed to catch even my mom's attention although she pooh poohed him.
The admirable determination and self-assurance he must have had to get
to where he is (was) from small means...
We tend to take people for granted when they are alive and when they
pass away... it leaves me flabbergasted....
Rest in Peace MJ ...

I seem to love to make the same mistakes each time. (Come to think of
it, I remember chavie blogging on these lines, so maybe I'm not
alone...) I still have not managed to really figure out my career :(
Most jobs tend to bore me after a time, maybe the work is too NORMAL
(?), I don't learn enough new stuff, its just the same old story
everyday... I don't mind even typing letters every day if it is really
interesting to me, if only it would lead me to a new adventure... I
know I sound like a spoilt little rich kid (so shoot me, who cares? :P
) but I seriously need to get sorted out.
So, that's my resolution today ... the day "The King of Pop" ceased to exist...
I need an interesting job which involves writing, ideas, and creativity =D
Any ideas people??
**
Much like Alice through the Looking glass I guess... Speaking of
which, I'm definitely looking forward to the new movie version. I
loved the book, the magic, the story, the adventure... maybe I should
pop downa rabbit hole.. really to see Johnny Depp of course =]
**
This wedding stuff is making me neurotic. I don't seem to be getting
anything done, I keep putting it off for later, and in the end I've
spent a whole day doing nothing... maybe I should contemplate a
"moonlight rendevous" =)
**
My office browser seems to have blocked off blogger, facebook, yahoo
and a host of other sites.... I won't even TRY to START writing what I
think about this.... !! *%#$@@!!
**
Many billboards in SL tend to have weird spelling.. ha ha ... which
makes me ponder on what is really being promoted in the particular
shop. ie: Cha**'s Pasty control (Pest control), Lunch and Dina for
sale (maybe a dinasour OR a nice girl? >=] ) and the ever famous
... "Tak-away", Take-a-way", "Takaway", "Takawe".
Oh well, at least it keeps me in good spirits ....
**
My dog seems to have developed a taste for "Mangosteens" !! err...
hope the rabbit doesn't follow suit!! =]
**
I'm fed up with FB anyway. It's so boooorrringggg... Just a spot for
people who want to publicize and boast about their personal lives,
achievement, photos and so forth!!
I'm gonna miss blogging!! big time... ='(
**
How on earth can you smoke 15 cigars a hour and still be alive???
**
Has it crossed anyone's mind that we are still a nation on the verge
of collapse ... that we need to seriously think about development
after the war??? Is it just me or has everyone forgotten this???
**
" I KNOW I'M STRANGE, BUT WHAT ARE YOU? " That's what the
gal-with-an-attitude-and-black-cat on my desktop wallpaper says...

I ♥ this post by dontwannabe
http://dontwannabecool.blogspot.com/2008/09/are-you-sri-lankan-or-are-you-christian_29.html
I'm quite a mix in religion and culture =] and have had to listen to
all sorts of stupid stuff from people who have never in their life
practised their own religion flawlessly!! I came to hate some
religions just coz the people I knew never practised it right... I
think everything depends on how you "practise what you preach"...
Everyone to his own beliefs and NO "Holyier than Thou" stuff!! =)
After all, we all need some sort of belief in our lives, and who cares
what it is, if it works!! ACTUALLY, I think I'm quite fedup of
arguing and counter - arguing and fighting for and about religious
beliefs.... =(

P.S. : This post came up late as a result of the 5th point mentioned in said post. However, I do manage to read all your blogs, so do keep posting guys... and help me out of my misery :)

An octopus grabbed me today...
yeeek.. the new manager has a handshake worthy of an octopus.. :P :P
Why is the owner of the cows at Wijerama not warned by the police? I feel sorry for all those stray cows and bulls and calfs on the roads...
Why do Sri Lankans have this in-born talent at disregarding law and order?
I really should try to learn more about economic stuff :(
According to a friend/CEO in the garment industry, it takes around 4 hours for them to arrive at a price quote for an inquiry, mainly because they have to source all the materials and accessories from around the world. A Chinese manufacturer on the other hand, will be able to quote a good price in 20 minutes, because all the necessary stuff is already inside his country... and we talk of GSP concessions and how to develop the country etc etc...
The best job is when you are seriously interested in what you are doing, when you can learn new stuff, face new challenges and when the job is truly difficult.. hmmm.....
Why do performing artists prefer the stage to television or film acting? Wouldn't live acting on stage be the hardest? Therefore, would it not give the best satisfaction?
Just random thoughts....

The "happenings" continue...
The stupid kalawedda has been after my rabbit!!! :\ I shall turn him into a sausage if I get my hands on him!!
We had six rabbits but now it's just the one... This ONE was force fed by my mom when he was the size of an ant because HIS mom died. Anyways, now he's the king of our castle (house rather). So last night, mom had him in her room and he has spent the whole night trying to burrow into her stuff :D
Mom walked about like a zombie today morning.. he he..
Apparently rabbits mate for life, so once one of them dies, the other just starves to death and sorta walks about very lethargicly like, refusing to run or play or anything :[
PS : I would love to upload a pic of the rascal, only my stupid computer doesnt let on java popups :S
Visited the zoo, but returned feeling more down in the dumps... The animals all looked so sad and depressed.. There were several dumbos trying to give a cigar to the gibbons, so had to drag Darling off before he could punch them in the face :\
Really silly, bloody idiots seem to be loose in the country these days..
The old bear I remembered from teenage trips was still there, but looked rather forlorn and had this really sad look on his face. The tiger was lying on his back trying to look into the lions' cage through this tiny pipe hole in the wall. I think the linoess was pacing =D
I remember our family went once when I was around seven. There was this white deer in a cage in the ground, sorta lower than the usual ground height. I was enchanted with it, hanging over the bars, talking to it..... and the next minute he had gulped down half of my frilly skirt... and it was my fav too =)
And the lama snatched off my hat and my brother screamed thinking it was after my head (he was just four - which undoubtedly explains his affection towards me). And when we went to see the elephants and my bro said "Ammi... see... coconuts falling" :P yes..really!! and in very high pitched, small baby voice!
This time, the snakes were scary especially when I poked my head right into the glass to look for the python and it dropped down from the tree stump above O_O There was this gigantic tortoise and crocodile together, of which I managed to take a good pic, hanging over the railing with Darling hanging onto my waist in case he lost me, in these last stages of the wedding I guess.... hmmm... maybe he DOES love me }=>
There was an enooorrrmous crowd by evening though... But what I noticed was that most of the people think animals are dumb (when you could SEE the look of utter contempt the white deer gave you when they dropped a Popsicle in his cage!! - "Look what I have to go through, with these idiots") They seem to think its just FINE to point and jeer and poke things through the cages, although it says NOT to in large red letters just beside the cages !
The hippos' water trough was full of Popsicle wrappers, mango seeds, achcharu and unmentionable stuff.. And in the midst of all these, the two hippos were lying calmly in the water, with their foreheads leaning together... First, one rubbed his head on the other... then, the other leaned in... yep, i got a pic :D
The saddest part was watching the birds try to fly out and jam on the cages... The little squirrel monkeys run up and down and up and down and up the poles.... The sick wild boar snuffling in a corner.. The arapimas lamming into the catfish everytime they turn around....
And someone said "how easy a life they must have, getting food and water and just lying around...no need to go to office" ... Well.... I wonder which is easier....

Of happenings and sorts
Its funny how X knows Y and Y knows Z and A and B and C ......... and A knows Y and C and X knows B too =D small world .. hah??
Someone refreshed my view on life yesterday coz she really likes her job... just listening to her made my world seem nice :)
The blogosphere seems calm now too, maybe after praba's death =]
I think I blogged about this guy next to me who is an IDIOT.. well, he seems to think he is the salt of the earth and he smells and is really unhygenic and he orders people about even though he can't etc etc.. Another guy in office had got down a packet for his lunch and asked the cleaning lady to keep it in the cupboard. Seconds later the cleaning lady comes rushing in saying the a****** beside me has eaten the other guy's lunch without eating his... AFTER SHE HAD HIDDEN IT BEHIND A CUPBOARD !
(He had literally hunted it out and eaten it, even after she had kept his packet out for him??) Christ... PEOPLE are weird ={
Yesterday, an old lady was knocked over by an intercity bus in colpetty =( she had apparently said she was hungry after drawing her pension, walked into Perera and Sons, had some lunch, come out and tripped on the road........ and WHAM !!
Courtesy of cleaning lady : there had been blood and things (!) scattered all over the road...
My mother dearest had been rudely awoken last night and seen a loooong black tail hanging down the wall next to the kitchen door. Turns out it was a large kalawedda (wild cat), who "stared at me with HUUGGE eyes and slinked away after about 10 minutes" =D
Honestly ... my mother... * shakes head**
See ya...

To be or not to be
I have absolutely no idea what is going on in the blogosphere. I thought the main idea of blogging was to be able to vent your ideas?? That a blog is your private notepad, where you can let out steam??
Is this blogging or ego twisting of the advertising industry I wonder? The main point I have noticed so far is that many of the people who are snapping at each other seem to be or were advertising agency staff. Makes you wonder about even stepping into an agency or contacting them for some work hah?? (No hard feelings guys....please....)
It just seems to go on and on and on... Someone publishes a photo disclosing someone else, then someone else publishes details about someone else...and so on... Christ... I have never seen so much back biting and screeching as is happening in the SL Blogosphere these days.
People who want to blog anonymously should be allowed do that, while others can be public or whatever they want, right?? If you want to get high stats on your blog, fine... go right ahead... Just don't squash the others who are trying to let out a little steam in their day-to-day life. Sheesh!!! Get a life people!!!
If you want to publicly criticise each other and wash your dirty linen in public, why don't you guys invent a group or something and chat about it? What is the point in letting loose while hiding behind "anonymous"?
I started several blogs but could not really keep them going, due to my work and studies.... I started this blog with a firm commitment of carrying on, after DC left a comment one day. Thank you DC :)
The name was chosen mainly because I wanted to have something about my relationship and also because our names (my fiance and moi) were too long for a blog ID :D I have no problem in anyone knowing my real name as I'm sure some of you do. (thank you, all of you who have helped me in my queries)
I blog about things that catch my interest when ever possible, while checking out everyone else's blogs too. Many blogs have helped me get through daily issues, just knowing that everyone goes through the same thing... and many make me laugh out loud when I'm down in the dumps. Thanks guys!!
I truly hope that the people who have personal issues would sort it out amongst themselves.... I personally have no animosity with anyone of you. But it IS rather exasperating and also sad to see previously interesting blogs display personal feuds, which tend to pop up in my blog roll. (I am seriously considering deleting some of these, which would of course be a pity)
However, I guess ... you can take it or leave it .....
Good luck and take care
PS : I don't really care about my blog hits, just a couple of comments however, are appreciated. What I do love, is reading all your blogs; of course, without the hate and animosity..

Prada and the devil
Watched "The Devil Wears Prada" and loved it !!
Finally got an idea as to what fashion really means, together with an insight from the "Marie Clarie" .... Funny how everything seems to be part and parcel of each other....
Which movies do you guys think affected you in some way or made a change in your life??

Ban on private universities?
When you say " Powudgalika weidya widyala athhitawanu":
Does it mean your all for the posh rich buggers ONLY getting their degrees from overseas universities?
Or
Are you against the middle class earners being able to get some sort of education for their children?
Or
Is it because you think that only the very intelligent should be able to become doctors?
What others say :

help...help...my phone's bust....
I own this sony Ericsson's K 510i phone. Last evening I took a lot of pictures and the camera showed a message saying capacity full. So I deleted some previous pictures and took more pics :)
Then it seemed ok. But later when I took it out of my pocket, the display screen was white !! Just this blank, blinking WHITE !!
I tried switching on and off but it didn't work. ... Still white blank display....Then I went home and connected it to the computer and saved the photos I'd taken in my comp and deleted them from the phone. Now there are only around 6 pics. This is less than there was at the beginning.
But still the display doesn't come on!! Once or twice the normal screen came, but it converts back to the white blank screen in about 3 minutes. I did take out and insert the sim again....no go...
Can someone help me....Please please..... Is there some way I can get back my phone?? whats wrong with it? Oh help....
What about my msgs and tasks and contacts and videos and sounds etc.... Will they all be deleted ?? Please help....Now when I try to connect to it by computer, I cant find it.....Its nonexistent!!!
Aiyoooooooo :( :( :(

tagged....
okey dokey now that DeeCee has gone and tagged me, I shall get down to this business of writing down what I have never done.... Which; as I can already see is going to be a bit difficult...I shall go by the original, as most of you guys have already posted many things that I would have loved to add to my "Have I Ever" list :( . This is going to be just a quickie, but I solemnly promise to update this as i get along life and have more time on my hands...
Well to start off, I have never...
~ been to Jaffna ( yes I know.. its soo sad... I do sooo want to...it's the one big thing I regret in my life :( *sigh*)
~ bungee jumped
~ had to wear reaaaallly high heels and totter around :) nor can I fathom why others do this
~ dived off a waterfall (yep... wanna do that too :D )
~ had an operation
~ had my portrait painted ( wanna, wanna, wanna :D)
~ sang on stage all alone in front of a huuuuge audience (actually... only done twinkle twinkle in kindergarten, for the year end show)
~ never ever got a black mark in school, let alone punishments or even a scolding :D ( yep... moi is good girl )
~ understood why people feel this urge to condemn and differentiate others by religion, cast, race or even gender
~ caught on to Facebook
~ really got a chance to talk to my maternal grandfather - BIG time regret :(
Ok, I know these are totally random. I ALSO know I am going to regret this someday. But what the hell :P
I think everyone is probably tagged now, so this has to be a open tag....

Its Christmas in the city...
.
Hurrah!!! Tis the season to be merry ... tra la la lala la la laaa... Christmas will dawn in just another 40 days :) :)
This is the time I getttt.... (wait for it now....) *tan tara tara* "the Christmas feeling" :D :) :)
What ever it was that got me those days, I still feel the magical cold nip that comes into the air when Christmas is around the corner......

This is the time I getttt.... (wait for it now....) *tan tara tara* "the Christmas feeling" :D :) :)
It's the wonderful feeling you get in the mornings as you wake up... Cold wind blowing in your face, the happy nip in the air that seems to make you want to float around, everything seems refreshed and renewed, even the animals seem happier :) ooooooh i love it :) Nothing can go wrong for me these days, not even people planting their stilettos on my feet, not even mommy yelling at me *I tend to float around her these days :)* , not even an irate driver yelling at me (because I floated across the road <:P ) I don't mind when people drop bags on my head from racks overhead, I ignore weirdos in office, I get incredible new ideas and (the best thing is...) I actually manage to accomplish them all without shelving them away, as I usually do.
I can't really explain why I love Christmas time so much, maybe it was being on the receiving end of all those toys and gifts long long ago. Maybe it was being able to get together as a family and put up the tree and hang up all those baubles and glitter and thingamigs, or even maybe all the various food stuff that never failed to appear on the table :) Or EVEN maybe the knowledge that I could shop till I drop, and not feel bad about it :DWhat ever it was that got me those days, I still feel the magical cold nip that comes into the air when Christmas is around the corner......

To Blog or not to blog.....
Just read the following article in the Economist. Gets you thinking, doesn't it?
It's true though that it's increasingly difficult to differentiate between a real blog and just a photo album. Or even Facebook pages - most of which look like diaries of the user - probably enabling stalkers around the world easy access to many unsuspecting teenagers' lives. Many of them seem to update their Facebook profiles just to be the limelight or on account of the phobia that they will be cut out of peer groups and to be on par with their friends.
Excerpts of the article... its on page 76 - if you are interested :)
With "a heavy heart, and much consideration", Jason Calacanis this summer announced his "retirement from blogging", which he believed was "the right decision for me and my family". ..........
"Blogging is simply too big, too impersonal and lacks the intimacy that drew me to it," he offered by way of explanation. It was, he said, "the pressure" of staying on the A-list - ie, of keeping his blog so big and impersonal - that got him. Only a few years ago, so few people blogged that being in a blogosphere celebrity required little more than showing up. Now it takes hard work. And vitriol. "Today the blogosphere is so charged, so polarised, and so filled with haters hating that it's simply not worth it," Mr. Calacanis lamented........
.......... Blogging has entered the mainstream, which - as with every new medium in history - looks to its pioneers suspiciously like death. To the earliest practitioners, over a decade ago, blogging was regular posting of text updates, and later photos and videos, about themselves and their thoughts, to a few friends and family members. Today lots of Internet users do this, only they may not think of it as blogging. Instead, they update their profile pages on Facebook, MySpace or other social networks.........
....... Gone, in other words, is any sense that blogging as a technology is revolutionary, subversive or otherwise exalted, and this upsets some of its pioneers. Confirmed, however, is the idea that blogging is useful and versatile. In essence, it is a straightforward content-management system that posts updates in reverse-chronological order and allows comments and other social interactions. Viewed as such, blogging may "die" in much the same way that personal-digital assistants (PDAs) have died. .........
