Merry Christmas

美國善心婦 巴士每人派390元
Merry Christmas


24/12/2006

Merry Christmas(聖誕快樂)!今日是平安夜,是耶穌降生的日子,歐美人士都會大事慶祝聖誕。據美聯社調查,逾八成的美國人相信有天使,近九成美國小朋友相信有聖誕老人。

在這普天同慶的日子,不少人深信要與人分享喜悅,美國華盛頓州有名善心婦人就在巴士上大派金錢,每人五十美元(約三百九十港元),有人接到錢後感激不已;這亦是奇畺出現的日子,有人被困多日,直至聖誕前夕才獲救。

逐架巴士派錢
乘客感激流涕

【美聯社】「聖誕快樂!」美國一名女子登上巴士,向巴士乘客說「聖誕快樂」及奉上夾有一張五十美元(約三百九十港元)鈔票的聖誕卡後,二話不說下車,跟尠 又登上另一輛巴士重施故技,這位好心腸女子的善行令好些受惠者感激流涕。

「這些錢對我多重要」
這個聖誕驚奇發生於華盛頓州斯波坎市多條巴士線上,一名女子在一至兩個少年陪同下登上巴士,從一個布袋取出信封派給乘客。當收到信封的乘客明白發生甚麼事時,巴士已駛離車站。

巴士司機克萊蒙斯稱,她上車後老是低尠頭,故記不起之前是否見過她。他說:「巴士後面坐了位後生仔,他看來激動到想喊,他以蹩腳的英語說『她不知道這金錢賀卡在聖誕節對我有多重要』。」

另一巴士司機多布森接載過這名神秘女子兩次,他說:「事件令人振奮,人們不斷打手機相告親友。坐這些巴士的人真的很需要這筆錢,這是好人好事,令人激動不已。」

運輸部門發言人表示,這名「聖誕女人」向大約二十名乘客派錢,當局試圖找出其身份,但不成功,而她的善舉似乎並非某公司的宣傳花招。

great pictures of 2006...

was reading yahoo news just now when i saw reuter's pictures of the year... and this is my favorite...


the caption read, "U.S. President George W. Bush hands back a crying baby that was handed to him from the crowd as he arrived for an outdoor dinner with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Trinwillershagen, Germany." he looks more like a comedian than a president...


and this is for my cousin gilberto -- guess who is the person covered in the black veil and robes in the picture? if you don't recognize him (yes, it's a him), this is your idol michael jackson photographed in bahrain, dressed as a muslim woman... seriously, why do u like him?

makes me wonder what are these people thinking... "wait till i win enough money to rebuild those ruins?!" i thought shanghai was a great place with rather educated chinese people but i didnt know things were like this in the suburbs...


awww, the world cup times... so many memories... so many lost bets... and a very angry zinedine zidane...


florescent green pig bred by taiwanese stem-cell researchers... this is gross, a disgrace to our pig species!! what will they breed next? glowing blue chickens?? what are these people thinking??


to my other cousin joana -- look!! i found a picture of kimi (raikkonen)!!! sorry it was crashed car in the picture...

well, there are more than 150 pictures of war, starvation, floods and other tragic events in those 208... i really hope in 2007 the world will be a better place... breaks my heart when i saw some of those bloody pictures... oh, and a warmer picture to mark an end to this post... mama giraffe and baby giraffe at a loving pose... (em, by baby, i mean it is 6 feet tall!!!)

sleeping facts for my dear friends

i am never a fan of sleeping... i like staying up late and waking up late... never liked afternoon naps even though i was really tired... i like staying in bed doing silly stuff like reading or hiding under the blankets but not sleeping... there are always times when i roll back and forth on my bed but i just cant fall asleep... tried counting sheep but the longer i count, the more awake i am... tired reading a really boring book or studying, but it doesnt really help... i will just hide under my blanket or look at the ceiling... (well, people do complain they cant wake me up by calling me on the phone... the truth is, i am awake but i just dont wanna get off my bed to pick up the phone so im not actually sleeping...)

i have always been jealous of people who can fall as
leep anywhere anytime... like my friends katie and lawrence, who can fall asleep while talking on the phone, or mid-way through a conversation, not to mention during long classes... yes, like u stopped talking for like 30 seconds and u can find lawrence already sleeping soundly in his chair... u can call katie at any afternoon and if no one picks up the phone, she's sleeping... i always think they're just super-human...

i was reading random blogs when i came upon these sleeping facts... but there are some which i think are not entirely accurate in my experience...

- Anything less than five minutes to fall asleep at night means you're sleep deprived. The ideal is between 10 and 15 minutes, meaning you're still tired enough to sleep deeply, but not so exhausted you feel sleepy by day.


i dont really think my above-mentioned friends are sleep deprived... they sleep more than 8 hours most of the time and i cant imagine anyone can be sleep deprived after those long periods of sound sleep...

- Snoring occurs only in non-REM sleep

then how come i get woken up 10+ times every time i slept in the same room with my parents?? hm, im certain they snore the whole night... or does that mean they only have non-REM sleep?? next time should check whether their eyes move when they sleep...

- Experts say one of the most alluring sleep distractions is the 24-hour accessibility of the internet.


finally this is something i find true, haha...



and look at what i have stolen from that same person's blog!! this is something i call FUNNY!!
