THORNS AND ROSES

Life is full of beautiful sweet smelling roses that lit up a room, a loved one's face and decorates nature, yet right underneath it lays countless prickling thorns. Life is as it is, nothing is perfect. Though smell the roses enough and we won't mind having blood paid for the scent...

The Blame Game

So how would you know if your country may even grow to catch up with the rest of the world? By looking at their “native” or “national race” working. By reading the papers everyday and fully comprehend what this nation prioritize. By knowing your leader just has to be in the papers or TV everyday to cover up his insecurities of being compared with the previous leader. It all starts from the top.

Just like how parents love to blame Rap & Rock music, video games and overly sexy movies on their children’s behaviors and actions. How they fail to understand the fact that they are their kids biggest influence, no matter how large your damn TV is. What they see or hear, parents have not FULL control, but strong influence.

A perfect example: Child Obesity

You walk in a mall and you will definitely see 5 out of 10 kids who are too big for their age. Once they hit the teen years, parents go crazy and blame fast food chains and candy making factories for their child’s weight problem. So whats the key word here? BLAME

Parents are too busy looking for others to blame than realize they were the ones at fault from the very beginning. From the first time you feed your child, what the hell did you stick in his or her mouth? When he was turning one years old, did you feed your child a high sugary cake with loads of frosting at his birthday bash? When you’re packing your child’s meal pack the first day of kindergarten, what did you throw in or rather, how much money did you give him, as an inexperienced consumer, to buy at free will at the cafeteria? When ya’ll are going out for a family dinner, was it a McDonalds that you chose for your kid to dine in or was the kid “forcing” you to go to there?

Now, understandable, eating healthy IS expensive for the average family and CAN cost a freaking bomb, and it all comes down to how your “Leader” helps his people, how he educates them on health and living, how he implements a better health course starting in primary school, how he emphasizes on sports and activities mandatory in schools, how he spends more money on EDUCATION. Period. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

However, Whats the nation’s priority at the moment?

To spend money on highly trained search dogs to look for……..TADA!! à Pirated Discs

That’s Right Folks!!! The murderers and kidnappers and other highly dangerous criminals can wait!!! These discs come first!!!

Now, I can understand the probable reason for this as this year, the nation is focusing on tourism bla bla bla.

No problem!! No harm!! But if this year was such a huge deal, you would think they would’ve started sweeping last year itself rather than pull a last min call

I had a few gal pals who asked me before why do I have shit to say about these nation relating issues, why cant I just talk about what is current in lives, like what to wear to our next clubbing event, which mall to hit next, when to lay out by the pool…

I may be a small fry but ppl need to voice out their true feelings about what is going on in our world.

This is OUR world, OUR society, OUR own people that we have to deal and live with on a daily basis, OUR dirt on the ground that we’re stepping on.

If everyone is living for Me, Myself and I, the end of this time may come sooner than we expect

    Yes. This issue isn't limited to the country. We see it in the world. There's genocides happening in parts of Africa (Darfur..Sudanese region) and what are the UN and the rest of the world doing? Debating on whether or not the situation can be classified as 'genocide' or not to decide their course of action.
