Project Description
Junkanoo – Bahamian Festival
Junkanoo is a Bahamian festival that occurs during the dark hours of morning on the 26th of December and again bringing in its first hours of light on the first day of the new year. Thousands dance through Bay Street, Nassau's town center, like a wild ocean of colour, while deep goat skin rhythms reverberate off the surrounding walls and cow bells chatter over the singing of brass horns. The sidewalk like a snake comes to life twisting blacks and browns while balconies and roof tops sway under the rhythmic feet of onlookers. There is a timeless sense, a feeling inside that is so vital that even the deaf feel to move. And as though possessed, these God-like cardboard sculptures dive and rise to the awesome music that lifts their spirits beyond the flesh." (courtesy – c2000 M. Govan & E. Robinson)
The most spectacular Junkanoo parade occurs in Nassau
To experience Bahamian culture and art, you should make plans to attend Junkanoo. The Bahamian festival of Junkanoo is an energetic, colourful parade of brightly costumed people gyrating and dancing to the rhythmic accompaniment of cowbells, drums and whistles. The celebration occurs on December 26 and January 1 — beginning in the early hours of the morning (2:00 a.m.) and ending at dawn.
Junkanoo is reminiscent of New Orleans' Mardi Gras and Rio de Janeiro's Carnival, but it is distinctly Bahamian and exists nowhere else. Parade participants — arranged in groups of up to 1,000 — are organised around a particular theme. Their costumes, dance and music reflect this theme. At the end of the Junkanoo procession, judges award cash prizes. The three main categories for the awards are: best music, best costume and best overall group presentation.
The most spectacular Junkanoo parade occurs in Nassau. However, you can also experience it on Grand Bahama, Eleuthera, Bimini and Abaco. It's held on Boxing Day (December 26) and New Year's Day (January 1) from 2:00 a.m. until 8:00 a.m.
If you wish to experience the cultural festival of Junkanoo, plan ahead and arrive early. In Nassau, some of the best views are upstairs on Bay Street, or on the street-side bench seats, which you may reserve in advance.
Junkanoo History
Junkanoo first began as a temporary celebration of freedom for slaves who were given three days off at Christmas time. Donning scary-looking masks, slaves played homemade musical instruments (drums and bells) and cavorted about freely on the island.
The origin of the word "Junkanoo" is unknown. The most popular belief is that it's derived from "John Canoe," an African tribal chief who demanded he be allowed the right to celebrate with his people even after he was brought to the West Indies as a slave. Others believe the name is from the French "gens inconnus," which means "the unknown people" and refers to people wearing disguises and thus being unknown.
Junkanoo's roots can be traced to West Africa. In fact, other areas in the region that practised slavery — like Bermuda and Jamaica — had their own versions of John Canoe parades.
Junkanoo probably began in the 16th or 17th century. Around Christmas, Bahamian slaves were given a few days off. This allowed them to leave the plantations to be with their families and to celebrate the holiday with music, dance and costumes. In the early years, Junkanoo participants wore grotesque masks and walked on stilts. They were allowed to move around anonymously and let off steam.
After slavery was abolished, Junkanoo almost disappeared, but a few islanders kept the tradition going. Over time, Junkanoo's popularity has waxed and waned. Today, it is a joyous celebration of freedom. It is an important part of the Christmas season, and The Islands Of The Bahamas is the only country where you can experience it.
Junkanoo Costumes
Junkanoo – Bahamian Festival As Junkanoo traditions have evolved, so, too, have the costumes. Sea sponges, leaves, fabric and shredded paper have at one time or another played their part in costume construction.
Costumes today are made out of crepe paper that is meticulously glued to fabric, cardboard or wood. They usually consist of a headdress, shoulder piece and skirt, which are elaborate and brilliantly coloured. Group members make their own costumes and it may take them up to a year to complete the intricate creations.
Costume design is tied to a theme and is a carefully guarded secret. Themes vary greatly — they can be contemporary, based on the past or anything the group chooses.
Junkanoo costumes that may have once been discarded as rubbish after the parade, are now being preserved for posterity. The winning creations are placed in the Junkanoo Museum, formerly located in downtown Nassau at the Prince George Wharf. The museum is temporarily closed, because it is being relocated.
Junkanoo Groups
Junkanoo participants that you see rushin' down the street are members of well-organised groups. These people work together year after year to make Junkanoo the exhilarating experience it is.
The Junkanoo festival is a community-wide effort. Families, friends and neighbours gather within groups — usually from 500 to 1,000 members — who perform together at the parade.
Competition among groups is fierce, so members choose a theme and keep it a secret until the day of Junkanoo. They spend months preparing for the event at their "base camp," or "shack" as they call it. The dancers work on choreography, the musicians practice music and the costumers work on their creations.
In Nassau, Junkanoo groups go by such colourful names as "Valley Boys," "Saxons," "One Family," "Vikings," "Roots" and "Fancy Dancers."
Distinctively Bahamian, the music you hear at Junkanoo today is very much as it has always been. Rhythmic goombay drums, copper bells and mouth whistles soon sweep you up in the Junkanoo beat.
Music is the most important part of Junkanoo. The rhythmic sounds of goatskin drums, cowbells and whistles — accompanied by a separate brass section — create an infectious beat that's too strong to resist!
Slaves, who originally made their musical instruments from cast-off items, fashioned rum or food containers into drums and scrap metal into bells. Today's musicians use similar methods. Like their ancestors, they stretch goatskin across the drum opening and "tune" it by burning a candle under the skin to tighten it to the right pitch.

Ten Warning Signs Of Alcoholism – 10 Things To Ask Yourself If You Drink A Lot
Has this every occurred to you, you wake up again along with yet another hang over and can not appear to remember the details of the night before. Or you are cleaning up your house and are stunned the amount of empty liquor bottles which you find in the garbage. Have a person ever stopped and wondering for those who have a drinking problem?
Has any one of this ever happened to somebody who you live with and love? How can you tell if you or somebody close to you has a drinking problem?
First, let's talk about what is considered regular drinking. Drinking one or two drinks each day is usually considered ok. If you are having a glass of wine each night for dinner, it does not mean you are going to become an alcoholic, however if you find yourself drinking even more as time goes by, you might want to back away a little bit.
So how can you tell in case you are suffering from alcoholism? As yourself these types of questions:
1) Do you consume alone?
A majority of alcoholics consume when they are by themselves. A most of non alcoholics normally consume intoxicating in social gatherings, heavy consumers will continue to drink by themselves.
2) Are you always finding or even creating an excuse to drink? Is every single day a bad day? Do you consume for every celebration? I know one person who else drank in order to get rid of the alcoholic beverages in her house, but then the very next day would go out and buy more.
3) Are you able to function without taking in? Most alcoholics can not make it by way of a day with a drink and some cannot even walk straight without this. Do you find yourself acting more drunk without alcohol than with it?
4) Are you able to stop taking in? A common symptom of alcoholics may be the inability to stop drinking or even attempt to cut back on it.
5) Do you are unable to say no to the next beverage?
6) Do you have violent shows when you do drink?
7) Does your own temper flare up more?
8) Are you hiding your drinking through family and friends and when called out on your own drinking do you find yourself furious with these?
When friend and family strategy an alcoholic or even a drug consumer about their self destructive routines, it is typically known as an involvement and is usually one of the only methods for getting someone help.
9) Have your own eating habits taking a turn for the even worse?
Most alcoholics do not eat healthful and most suffer from malnutrion due to the alcoholic beverages interfering with the digestion process. Alcohol also limits the conversion associated with nutrients into a form that the entire body can use. You may find that you create a vitamin B-1 deficiency as your taking in continues.
10) Has your appearance begun to suffer?
Ask your self if you still care about what you appear to be. When was the last time putting an effort into taking care of yourself? Lastly, do you find yourself trembling in the morning, specially when the urge to drink is strong?
If you have answered yes to any of such questions, you should contact your doctor. This does not mean you are a full fledge intoxicating, but by answering yes for some of these questions could mean that you might be on the road to becoming one. Isn't this better to get the help now, as you still have some control rather than afterwards, when the disease has taken over the body?

Although it's not set to debut until 2013, the next generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class will reportedly be offered in four different body-styles. The sedan will debut first in both short and long wheelbase versions. The third option will be a coupe, that will replace the CL. So what's the fourth option? Hint: it won't be either a four-door coupe or a wagon.
According to a report from U.K. Car magazine, the German automaker is planning a two-door convertible based on the coupe. Sadly, they're not planning a four-door convertible like the Ocean Drive concept. With a two-door convertible, Mercedes appears to be targeting the Bentley Continental GTC.

The amount of pain the markets are having moving up seems to be extremely painful and it is no wonder that we are moving at an extremely slow pace upwards. It was expected that the bad news will continue – and the markets will cling and try to whatever good news it gets to inch up. The problem is that the good news is just soaked up like water on sand with little or no effect. The govt definitely wants a rosy picture to be there when the elections storm hits then in their face. The point is that SOPs that they are taking out are not being readily accepted by the industry/markets. Take banks for that matter – the reduction in interest rate is like a thick soup where the main ingredient is lost in the thick gravy. Airlines are hell bent on not giving out any fresh rate cuts inspite of ATF prices falling like anything over past month or two. The left has voiced against the insurance bill. The tussle seems to go on and on.
The Global cues are nothing to talk about really. Nikkei was up 1.57%, Hang Seng down 3.34% and Strait Times down 2.78%. We also dropped as Reliance shed 5%. Europe was weighed down due to banks, autos and oils. FTSE now has dropped 7 days out of 8 last traded days. It has lost 44% this year and hardly heading to 'Happy Christmas' The focus now seems to have shifted on what will be offered by 2009. FTSE ended down 1.88%, DAX down 1.23% and CAC down 2.31%. News of Toyota projecting first loss in 70 years due to relentless global slide in car sales coupled with rising yen has shaken up already jittery economy. Not only did it pull down auto shares across the world – it also pulled down the crude by almost 4% –back to below 40$ a barrel. Finally US that had opened flat with negative bias – never saw green the entire trading day and ended with Dow down 0.69%, Nasdaq down 2.04% and S&P down 1.83%.
As far as the candles are concerned – we have entered a phase of low volatility – the ATR (average true range) for past ten day period on nifty has dropped to 120 from 230+ a month and a half. On the lighter side – till now the investors were loosing money – now traders are also loosing to the broker houses. The candle was black and seems that some profit taking is kicking in – We have only two days now left for the expiry. I really hope like hell that the expectations of short covering do not die like last to last month where the expiry came and went and there was nothing that happened. We are trailing between 50 EMA on top and 25 EMA below. The 50 EMA is what I would like to be below – only then new higher levels can be thought about. The volumes were miserable to say the least on nifty. Bollinger bands are expanding a bit and MACD divergence has once again increased – showing that yesterday's profit booking or whatever did not do any damage. RSI still is good and %K and %D line of Slow Stochastics are trailing on 80 – just below the overbought levels. TRIX is still looking up. Saw yesterday? the nifty hit the R1 and then promptly settled down at lower levels. Jaggu's TRIN is bullish – so not to worry at the moment.
Pivot data…
R3 3193 against 3176 on yesterday
Pivot 3058 against 3073 on yesterday
S3 2924 against 2970 on yesterday
Projected High Range 3074 to 3116
Projected Low Range 3104 to 3062
Fib Projected High 3132
Fib Projected Low 3004
China has cut interest rates – so that should matter and Asia is down.

Poor lighting led to the Patna stampede, says probe
A two-man committee probing the Gandhi Maidan stampede has pointed to inadequate lighting and obstructions at the exit gate as the main reasons for the tragedy that killed 33 people on Friday.india Updated: Oct 05, 2014 10:07 IST
A two-man committee probing the Gandhi Maidan stampede has pointed to inadequate lighting and obstructions at the exit gate as the main reasons for the tragedy that killed 33 people on Friday, sources told HT.
The committee, consisting of principal home secretary Amir Shubhani and additional director general, headquarters (ADG-Hq), Gupteshwar Pandey, met the injured and later visited the Maidan and its adjoining areas.
Patna stampede:lessons learnt and unlearnt
"It has observed that the exit gate was loosely fastened with a cattle trap, which proved to be an impediment as many women were caught up in it. A ditch nearby, proved to be fatal as many fell into it," sources quoted the panel members as having said.
The team also went through CCTV footages to study the stampede and gather clues.
The state government has already declared an ex-gratia amount of R3 lakh to the next of kin of the dead each, while the Centre has declared another R2 lakh in compensation.
Police officials told HT, that once the chief minister left after the ceremony ended, the SSP and his escort also left with him as per protocol. The district magistrate and the magistrates also left with the sections of armed police, which the administration claims was 'as per protocol', leaving only the lathi wielding constables on the grounds.
Meanwhile, the incident set off a blame game with politicians holding the state government responsible. Union ministers Ravi Shankar Prasad and Ram Vilas Paswan, besides state BJP leaders felt that the administration had no system in place, which caused the tragedy. They demanded the resignation of chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi.
Paswan attacked the JD(U) for allegedly failing to put in place measures to prevent the tragedy saying, "There was no security, no lighting, one gate was open while more than five lakh people were present there and the police was there only to rain lathis on the hapless people."
The BJP also decided to send a memorandum to President Pranab Mukherjee while the Centre has also asked for a report from the state government.

The 'upstream' impact starts with us
Efficiency experts tell companies to go to the source of the issue if they want to solve the downstream problem. Don't worry about fixing the logjam; go upstream to the source of the logs.
The same approach applies to the trash idiot dolts discard. If it's not picked up and recycled or disposed of properly, the net effect is that there is a good chance plastic bottles,
bits of styrofoam, drinking straws and virtually anything else can waltz into our environment and waterways unchecked with long-term, detrimental effects.
Look no further than the sickening photos of Chris Jordan (http://www.chrisjordan.com/gallery/midway). Man's reach is bobbing up and down in the furthest oceans; no place is safe from us, it would seem.
This is where you and I come in. We are the upstream. Every bottle cap we stoop to conquer, every piece of floatable styrofoam, every shard of plastic you and I remove from the environmental loop reduces the downstream impact.
It's up to us. We are at the head of the trash chain.

Today's Quote: "Great calmness can lay great errors to rest."-Ecclesiastes 10:4
Today's Song: "Hold Us Together"- Matt Maher
I hope that yesterday's message helped you to recognize and begin to snip some strings that have been keeping you tied to people in unhealthy ways.
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."- Galatians 5:1
Today we are keeping on that subject of relationship bondage,
but I want us to move our lens over onto a different type of relationship.
Our relationships with other believers.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, as we call each other.
Oh, these are such great relationships to have.
My Christian friendships rank right up there with my family as my most treasured and precious things on this planet.
I think that it is so important that we have friends and role models and people that we can just open up and share our hearts with.
We need friendships.
We just want to make sure that they're healthy ones.
And that's what today is about.
That we wouldn't be free from our past forms of relationship bondage, only to hop right into other forms of relationship bondage inside of our Christian walk.
Does this make sense?
Because God made us relational. We need to relate and we need to connect; and if we're not connecting with people in ways that are healthy and good for us, then we will undoubtedly find ourselves connecting with people in ways that are unhealthy and no good for us.
It's as simple as that.
We need to relate!
And if we are going to do life well, then we're going to need other believers to come alongside us in relationship.
We need to know that when we're going through something that there are other people who have gone through it before us, or who we can be an encouragement to after we've come out of it.
Sometimes we just need somebody to talk to!
Friendships, fellowship, encouragement amongst believers, those are all such important parts of our Christian walk!
My husband and I learned this lesson big time recently.
Due to a move, for a good period of time, we were not regularly attending church or fellowshipping inside of a body. We still had a lot of Christian friends that we called and got together with, but not having a regular cohesive body of believers to worship and serve with definitely took it's toll on us.
We never realized how important it is for us to be connected and how when we're not, it is so easy for us to get consumed with our own garbage and our own perceptions of things- rather than having that healthy flourishing spiritual life that is nourished by fellowship and encouragement and accountability.
We need to be sharpened!
"As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."- Proverbs 27:17
Women too. Women especially!! We need real friendships in our lives, because left to ourselves we just get weird.
I'm telling you it's the truth.
We get off on some side-street that we start thinking is the most important road in the world. We start thinking that we know better than everyone else, and really we just end up becoming totally unrelatable.
It's sad, but it's true. Think about it.
Any woman that you know who has isolated herself from other people is likely very out of touch and unrelatable.
And if you are naturally a very polite and introverted person like I am then you need to be carful of this.
Make sure that you are letting other people who are good for you into your life.
Other healthy women! Ones who are mature in areas where you could use a good living example of maturity.
On the other hand, I know that some of you are super extroverted people, people! And you all have different things that you need to be careful of.
Make sure that you're not just allowing every kind of person and idea to penetrate into your personal life.
Be discerning, or else it will be very difficult to find your calling.
You can easily find yourself wrapped up with a lot of people, doing a lot of things, but not doing the things you're called to do with the proper amount of your heart and time.
Are you getting me?
Girls we should aim to be balanced and discerning in our relationships.
Allowing people to come close and share and love, but not putting so much stock in them that their presence and advice are taking the place of God's.
Does that make sense? I hope so!
Because being Christian does not just automatically free us from all of our relationship issues. We still struggle with social pressures and politics just like everyone else.
But our goal should be to form healthy relationships inside the body of Christ. Not ones that will hold us back or drag us down.
Remember, the piece of our verse for today says:
"Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
In other words, Christ has set you free, so don't go trading in one form of bondage for another: STAY FREE!
When I think about common "relationship bondages" inside of Christian circles(think strings that tie us to people in unhealthy ways),
the first personality that comes to my mind is the spiritual know-it-all.
A spiritual know-it-all is that kind of overly-righteous person who has an opinion about everything.
Now again, please know that I'm not trying to talk trash about anyone.
I'm telling you these things because I've found myself in some very suffocating relationships with this kind of very strong personality type. And because I feel that new believers and single women are particularly vulnerable to spiritual know-it-alls.
I think that a lot of times these kinds of people are just passionate and lose sight of the fact that their passions, callings, and convictions are for them- not everyone else. I have certainly been that person more than once.
Now I'm not talking about parents or Grandparents or people who really do have a deep down love and care for your well being.
I'm talking about the kind of people who like to assert their agenda and beliefs into everyone else's lives. People who try to make you feel like they are better and stronger than you are, and that you have a lot to learn from them. Growing more spiritually mature also means growing in humility, not pride.
Be leery of prideful people disguised as prominent Christians.
These relationships can be tricky because sometimes they form very gradually, as we just slowly become more and more nervous to be ourselves around these people, saying only the kinds of things that will meet their approval. (gag).
Now some of this is our own fault for being people-pleaserish instead of just being our true and honest selves; but at the same time, these kinds of people can be very intimidating, especially when you are a new Christian or serving under them in a church setting.
Another sort of similar bondage is when people try to lock you into their preferred teachers and belief systems. Usually with a very heavy emphasis on very petty and legalistic type stuff. The kinds of people who like to address the do's and don'ts, rather than the heart.
Again, I'm not talking about people who are genuinely caring and helpful or who want to speak wisdom into your life, this is very different. I'm talking about being leery of someone who is continually trying to speak into your life, or make you feel like they know best what you need, or like they have all of the answers.
God has all of the answers, and whether we are part of His family or not does not come down to a to-do list.
It comes down to Jesus.
Him being our father is what makes us brothers and sisters in Christ. The Bible even warns us:
"Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels."- 2 Timothy 2:23
God wants us doing big things!! Not fussing over small things!
Some people want to just talk and analyze things to death that are so minor.
Don't get caught in that stuff, girls!
I realize that some people really do enjoy digging out these mind bending correlations and analogies from God's words, and there's nothing wrong with that. God's word is very deep. But more than that it's simple.
It's built for normal non-genius people like me and you to understand and put into practice on a daily basis.
Don't get stuck in a path of heaviness, making God's word more complex than it is because someone who is trying to make their burden everyone else's burden.
Jesus said: "My burden is easy and my yoke is light." –Matthew 11:30
That doesn't mean that your life is always going to be easy and light, but I would say that anybody trying to make you feel as though God's burden is hard, and his yoke is heavy, and anybody trying to get you to listen to them, rather than encouraging you to listen to God, that is someone who you should probably step back from, at least for a season.
Like my husband tells me to do with certain people, "Be friendly, but don't be a friend."
Girls, you need to keep your freedom in Christ.
Be stubborn for it!
You are bound to come across some off people, or even some off churches in your walk with Jesus, it just goes with the territory.
And I'm going to go off on a rabbit trail here for a second, but I just want to advise you to be discerning when you're picking a church. Some churches encourage a dependency on them. A good church encourages a dependency on Jesus.
A lot of churches, even a good church, can tie up too much of your time into their agenda. But you need to be mindful that your relationship and responsibility to Jesus overrides your relationship and responsibility to the church.
Now listen girls, all of this stuff is not about putting a wall up to people or calling things out that you feel like are out of place wherever you see them.
This is about simply keeping in mind that there is a lot of bondage amongst believers, and keeping yourself free from that.
And at the same time, we need to have a whole lot of grace.
People are just people.
Christians are prone to a lot of the same struggles as nonchristians.
But we are called to assemble together, and to love one another. And that, just like marriage, requires an ever-present stream of forgiveness and grace, which can only come from Jesus.
I don't know where I would be without grace and forgiveness from my fellow believers.
God knows I am wrong so often, and have definitely been that pig-headed person to other people at times.
So to boil all of this down I would say:
Be discerning about who and what you get involved with, and then just have a whole lot of grace.
Discernment and grace.
Discernment because bondage to people in our Christian walk can be such a trap. It can just hold you up worrying about the dumbest things, rather than continually moving forward, and continually blooming into the woman that you were made to be and the calling that God has over your life.
We can't let people mess that up for us, so we need to be discerning.
And grace because just like we talked about with our relationship to #9, we no longer need people to fill our deepest needs, God does that.
We don't need people to be perfect.
God is our perfect.
We are free to let people be people, so long as we are letting God be God.
Girls, the church so desperately needs people to bring this attitude into it.
People who are mature enough relationally to let others make mistakes and be human, but to still love with the kind of love that God calls us to toward one another.
To be full of grace and love amidst imperfections.
You have no idea what a light you could be just by doing this!
"Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." –John 13:35
God wants to use you sister!
But He also wants to use the church and other Christians to help build you up for your calling.
Okay, I was about to just end the day here and I know this is getting long, but I just want to say one more thing quickly and listen to me girls because I feel like this is for a lot of you:
I know that a lot of you don't even go to church.
And maybe you even hate the thought of being called a Christian because of all the negative connotations.
Christians are a deal breaker for a lot of people who would normally have turned to Jesus by now.
That's so sad, but let's just be real here for a minute.
Do we kind of tend to see ourselves as a little bit "above" a lot of what takes place in the church?
Like there's just not that much attraction to want to be there.
Maybe church to you seems odd, or dull, or just plain corrupt. Hypocritical, maybe. Can I be this honest?
Girls, I have been there!
But can I tell you quickly something I've learned?
If I just steer clear of churches and Christians all together because of all of the unhealthy things that manifest there, I'm going to rob myself of all of the healthy and beneficial relationships that I need to grow in my faith.
Because really, girls, we do need other people to uplift us, encourage us, council us, and hold us accountable.
Those are healthy things and are such a necessary part of having a balanced life.
Relationships with other believers are good.
And if I'm going to be a healthy, whole and effective person in this world then I need to learn to deal with people, and my relationships with people properly, rather than just ignore and avoid. Do you see what I'm saying?
And the same goes for you.
If you are going to be a truly fruitful godly woman, you are going to need other people to go through the journey with.
And if you're willing to look, you will find that there are a lot of genuine, sincere, and very down-to-earth people in the church who are in the midst of their own struggles and victories just like you are. Not that there is a group of perfect Christians anywhere. They're people, and they are bound to irritate you and rub you the wrong way at times just like anyone would.
But don't throw the baby out with the bath water, as the saying goes.
The enemy would love it if you kept away from other Christians and just never really connected with anyone on that spiritual level, because it would assure that you never get very far.
But God challenges us to rise above and connect with people on a deeper level as bothers and sisters in Christ. And it's so important that you do.
"And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near." –Hebrews 10:25
Girls, it is HIGH TIME that we stop putting the blame on, and running away from our people and relationship issues.
We need to pray for a little wisdom and discernment, and then DO IT!
Go to church!
Connect with other believers!
You do not know what sort of real friendships are in store for you. Healthy, honest, and nourishing relationships with other believers.
Guard your heart, yes.
Guard your freedom, yes.
But get out there and connect with people on a different level than the world is showing you to do.
Let God change you and teach you!
Let Him grow you to get good at building healthy relationships, rather than just running away from the unhealthy ones.
It's so necessary for a healthy life!
You don't need to be like any other person who has put their faith in Jesus.
You're not supposed to be.
You're you!
A beautiful, unique piece of God's perfect puzzle.
Today's Dare: I dare you to begin seeking out fellowship with other believers. If you can't find a church that you like, find a good one online, but try looking for a young women's bible study or some other sort of fellowship.
I dare you to begin to take steps toward making real living connections, with real living believers!
And POFU, of course.

Employing WorkPlace Humor – Why Is The Smiley Face So Important To WalMart?
Relax, it is finally official. Money CAN NOT buy happiness.
The blissful news arrived in a ruling handed down against WalMart in early 2008 by Judge Timothy C. Batten Sr. in Atlanta.
The learned adjudicator found that even with the support of two hundred thousand dollars worth of pseudo scientific arguments from an actual smiley face consultant (similar to an elf translator), the retail behemoth could not claim ownership rights to the ubiquitous happy face.
Whew! Chock one up for The courageous Judge B senior and all mankind …
Mutual Life, Harvey Ball and Yellow Circles Off The Hook
No doubt about it, the smiley face is a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Little wonder WalMart tried to own it.
Like all religious icons, the happy face's origin is a bit fuzzy but most bets favor the fable that modern day smiley was cesarean sectioned by a mild mannered and humble dude named Harvey Ball.
Similar to many iconic creators before him, Harvey attracted a benefactor who commissioned his purposefully emotive work and in this instance it was the very forward thinking Mutual Life Assurance Company. They were seeking a simple graphic to remind company phone reps to smile when they talked with potential clients and for that thinking we are greatly indebted to you, Mutual. Thank you!
Thanks also to Mr. Ball's genius and flat out generosity, millions of happy faces will ride emails around the globe today and the totality of those "smile reminders 😉 " will be generating the very same force that WalMart would love to manage.
Simple Signs Send a Signal
Incredible power is wielded by images like the Nazi swastika, a symbol representing such evil for some folks today that recent history overrides its beneficial application for hundreds of years before Hitler and the boys claimed it. Of course, being even more cunning than WalMart, the nasty Nazis chose the swastika to represent their group for the very reason that it already contained substantial religious power for them to employ.
Symbols have great influence on our society in all walks of life. See if you agree that awesome power resides in these cultural cues:
- By The Left, Quick, March! – Flags of Nations are simple, enduring symbols of unity and uniqueness which have rallied more cries for improving the human condition than any other symbol. The innate power in these cloth icons is so great that just disrespecting them has caused much conflict costing many lives.
- Winners IF Only For One Day – Sports Teams logos create loyalty, excitement, shame and devastation. The degree to which fanatical fans follow their teams through emulation in clothing, flags, culture and winning / losing is interesting indeed.
- One Finger Bad, Two Fingers Brotherhood – Hand signals and slight physical gestures convey instant disdain or peace and harmony to total strangers. Be careful which fingers you display …
- Just Say No and Just Do It – Ideological phrases and anthems represent struggles and cultural philosophies that, like brands and logos, eventually develop loyalty, class distinction and societal values which are unquestioningly enacted by each participant.
- Trade Colored Paper For Stuff – Currency is a powerful symbol of value which requires total acceptance of a positive perception of national economies. Kinda like walking on a cliff edge blindfolded.
Even criminal organizations see value in controlling their symbols and logos. In the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club for example, not dropping colors or patches as requested will lead to paralysis and quite likely death for the ex-member given to challenging zero tolerance for cultural icon control.
Smiley Face Packs A Punch
Humans think in pictures and evidence abounds that our lives are directed by the images of brands, logos and symbols.
I think it stands to reason that if one of the most successful companies in the world considered corralling the power of the smiley face, we should definitely be paying cultural icons more attention.
And now that we know that our main symbol of happiness can not be sold, it is imperative we put that gelded graphic to work freely, everywhere.
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank you, friend.
Barry out.

|6 - 10.5
|easy closure, TOUCHSCREEN COMPATIBLE
Very fine synthetic-material with an excellent grip, supple, breathable and elastic. Exclusively from Roeckl.
Allows picking up smartphone calls quickly without taking off the gloves.
These models can be washed without a fabric softener at 30°C in the washing machine. Not suitable for laundry drier.
The MALTA, a classic glove model developed by ROECKL SPORTS, is a true success story. Its color-contrasting piping and the stylized hand logo on the characteristic fastener are sure to attract attention. The material, fit and wear comfort are identical to the that of the original ROECK-GRIP – and tangibly so. The exclusive ROECK-GRIP® material is extremely breathable, elastic and supple. In short: it fits like a second skin. At the same time, it provides the excellent grip and tactility you need when handling the reins. The glove tailors from Munich also focused on the fit and processing quality: the glove's individual components are meticulously sewn together by hand. Maximum seam tolerances of just one millimeter are merely a tangible quality criterion, however, because comfort itself cannot be physically measured. It's the cuts and proportions that make all the difference. This is where ROECKL benefits from 175 years of experience in the art of glove-making. Convenient: the 3301-335 MALTA is machine-washable
at 30° Celsius (86° Fahrenheit). The characteristic fastener with the stylized hand logo reliably secures the glove around your wrist.

Try these: free samplesbeauty samplesprintable couponssmartsourcewalmarttidep&ggrocery couponsmail couponsfreebie
You all know how much I love coming home and playing with my Shoppers Drug Mart receipts to see how much farther I've been able to stretch my savings. I love how they indicate how much was saved because of sale prices, and the coupons are easy to calculate separately. Today I went in to get my $200 in FREE stuff as part of the Spend Your Points Event and had my biggest FREE-spree EVER! I hardly know how to make mathematical sense of it all (shout out to my math super hero Summy for the help!). My working title for this blog post was originally "I saved 91% at Shoppers Drug Mart", but quite frankly that doesn't stand out amidst the clever couponing skills of the Canadian Coupons community …. you all keep my on my toes!
Here's the scoop on how I got 2.8 times more FREE stuff than my Optimum Points were worth:
- I redeemed 95,000 Shoppers Optimum Points which are normally worth $170 in FREE stuff, but since this weekend was a Spend Your Point event, they were worth an extra $30 in FREE stuff. I knew I'd be coming home with at least $200 in FREE stuff and tried to use as many coupons with sales to stretch the savings farther.
- I filled my cart with 74 items which added up to a subtotal of $239.28 after coupons, sales, and manufacturer's mark downs. Normally, this would consistitue a royal FAIL in my books because I like my subtotal to be bang on $200 so it's all really FREE. But considering that I'd spent over an hour in the store by this point, and truly wanted/needed everything in my cart, I didn't bother taking anything out, just to try to reach as close to the mark as possible!
- I redeemed $25.20 in manufacturer's coupons
- I scored 4x$10 in Manager's Markdowns for Aveeno Baby sunscreen, with another year and a half lleft on the expiry date. I might have squealed outloud in the aisle!
- I saved another whopping $355.41 in sale prices for my 74 items. I most definitely squealed when my daughter's skin cream was marked down to $1 from $23.49 and I also treated myself to a microdermabrasion treatment normally priced at $30.99 for $1 as well! March is such a great month for finding clear-outs since businesses are working towards their "year end". We're still working on all that clear-out soap I picked up spring!
Total full price value of my 74 items $634.94
Total out of pocket $63.04 with taxes
I brought home $571.90 in FREE STUFF!
If you've been following along my Shoppers Drug Mart blog posts over the past year, you know that I always calculate my Shoppers Optimum Points earnings into my virtual savings at the time that I EARN them, so I mustn't include this full $571.90 total in my running tally, otherwise I'd be double dipping on the points and not accurately portraying how much I truly save during the earn/redeem cycle. After taking out the $200 in points that was my base minimum to start with today, I actually brought home $371.90 in FREE stuff. Considering that I SAVED on average 85% on the items that I bought when I earned these points, I am just blown away by how much we save with the Optimum Points system throughout the year.
And some of todays items will have another layer of savings still to come:
- I have 6 Buy 1 Get 1 FREE Cineplex Cinemas children's admissions to use by May 31st from the specially marked boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios that I picked up for $1.99 each (reg $6.49). I only had one of the $.75 OFF WebSaver coupons to use though, drats!
- I'll get back $3.99 plus postage thanks to the Mail -In-Rebate for Lysol Foam Hand Cleaner (that's IF I can bear to part with my original receipt. I really shouldn't have bought it today – there was no added value in getting it on this trip since I'd already reached my $200 minimum threshold).
- I earned another 590 Optimum Points on this trip, which will be worth $1.41 in FREE stuff on my next full redemption at a Spend Your Points event. Hey, it all adds up!
I had enough points today for a double redemption, but I couldn't have found another $634.94 in stuff that we actually needed even if I'd tried! Can you imagine THAT working title? "I got $1270 in FREE stuff Today" …. maybe one day!
Happy Couponing!

A model that produces three-dimensional ray trajectories in an optical fiber is derived through the use of a simple correspondence rule. The analysis and simulations presented will be in terms of dimensionless parameters. The curves prepared are presented for allowed radial and azimuthal mode numbers and are presented in terms of dimensions which are normalized by the core radius. The model presented will be shown to be in agreement with the standard Eikonal ray theory and will serve as a link between the ray trajectories and the mode numbers of the WKB waveguide solutions of an optical fiber.

People think you're just this f–king hooker, someone who's money-hungry, dirty and gross. But that's not my reality," said Boomer Banks on a recent March afternoon, looking up from his sewing machine. "It isn't my be-all, end-all. It's just a way for me to be able to get what I need for the rest of my career."
Strewn around Banks' cozy Chelsea apartment are glimpses of this future dream — scraps of cloth draped on chairs, naked dress mannequins covered in pins. Banks might be an escort and porn star, but he sure as hell loves to sew.
His passion for silks and skirts brought him to New York City in 2011 in hot pursuit of a career in fashion design. But with opportunities scarce, he soon found himself jumping from unfulfilling retail job to retail job, plotting a plan B.
Then, early last year, Banks put together his first profile for Rentboy.com, the unabashedly NSFW ad-listing website for male escorts. This, he thought, could be his ticket out.
So he paid the site a small fee to post a number of risque photographs of himself, as well as a short bio that includes information about his penis ("extra large") and sexual fetishes ("S&M, water sports"). He then kicked back and waited for interested parties to contact him.

North Korea has a policy of 선군, or "Military-First", so we're putting military-related stories first!
North Korea has been a regular participant to the Northeast Asia Cooperation Dialogue since 2002 (minus a couple times it was held in South Korea). Thusday, it was held at Tokyo, and it was expected that they would not be there as well.
A contributor to NK News gave some descriptions on the new Combined US-ROK division that will be stood up in 의정부 (議政府/UijeongBu), and will officially be set up on June 3rd this year, with a US 2-star General at the helm, and a 1-star South Korean General as the Executive Officer.
China-based North Korean mouthpiece 우리민족끼리 (Uri Minzokkiri "Amongst Our Peoples"), has pictures stitched together of their "missile launch".
…Another reason that Submarine-launched ballistic missile might be fake? Aside from the doctored photos they released, the more practical reason, is how would the Supreme Leader actually maintain contact with the submarine? They don't have that capability in place, and the last thing anyone wants is for that to be delegated.
…However, it didn't stop 김정은(金正恩/Kim, Jong-Un) from praising the scientists who were supposedly behind the submarine-launched ballistic missile design.
Pastor 최재영 recounts his time visiting North Korea in late September last year, where he noticed a strange thing: Students were carrying large bouquets of flowers. ALL students. So he went up to one of them, and asked what was going on, to which a kid said, "My brother's going off to fight the American imperialists!" Which meant, he was going to the Army. This is a semi-annual event, where people enlist (willingly or otherwise).
China warns of instability on the Korean peninsula.
…This comes after the US, Japan, and South Korea came together, and told China that those three democratic nations will have to come together, and put more pressure on North Korea.
Despite Iran's talks to rid itself of sanctions against them for nuclear weapons development, which they claim are false, Iranian defectors have told the media that North Korean officials met with Iranian officials at the end of April, and they were talking about nukes.
The West Coast satellite-launch facility at 동창리 (東倉里/DongChang-Ri) is seeing some new construction, according to 38North.org's commercial satellite imagery.
China isn't happy with the US deployment of the THAAD missile unit on the Korean peninsula, but a US House Representative Jim Cooper said, that it's because China hasn't put enough pressure to stop North Korea, which is why they were forced to deploy the system. China says that it will maintain its "due role in the proper settlement".
…The Congressman's statement however, doesn't match with US Special Representative, and former ambassador to the ROK, Sung Kim, who says that the US and China both agree on putting pressure against the North.
"How's the view from Room 39?" The economic performance sure looks a lot different on the ground:
After months of fighting over wage issues, with the North requesting a 5% raise without the South's approval; last Friday, the North capitulated, and South Korean businesses will pay the current wage of $70.31. However, both parties did agree to come to the table later in the year to discuss the possibility of raising the wages. South Korean firms that withheld pay during this time, will pay March and April's wages.
박주민 has an article for Reuters, describing how despite North Korea claims to be a gender-equality state, Korea's patriarchical culture still has deep roots. But thanks to the growing possibility for women to go out and earn money by trading, capitalism has brought gender equality, and one of the main reasons North Koreans divorce each other, is because they feel their husbands can't bring in enough money.
North Korea Tech has a profile on Hana Electronics, a company that makes DVDs and VCDs.
Started on May 27th, and ending today, the Организация сотрудничества железных дорог (鐵路合作組織 ["鐵組"]/Organization for the Cooperation of Railways ["OSJD"]) conference was held in 서울 (漢城한성/Seoul). A meeting of Rail company presidents and logistics managers from China, Mongolia, Russia, and several European nations, which will complete a transcontinental railroad. South Korea needs North Korea's approval to join the network.
In April, North Korea exported 2-million tons of coal, which is a five-year high, earning them $120-million USD (an increase by $80-million USD from the month prior). Overall, fuel commodities prices have become much lower, and they were able to import 16,000 tonnes of gasoline for less money.
Recently, an article came out where credit to turning 원산 (元山/Wonsan) into an International Tourist Zone, was given to 김일성(金日成/Kim, Il-Sung) and 김정일(金正日/Kim, Jong-Il). Two dead guys, instead of the current leader. They also mentioned how the recent 18th Pyongyang Spring International Products Exposition, was used as a chance to get funding for the zone as well.
On top of trying to smuggle gold using a diplomat, more recently, North Korean diplomats have been caught trying to smuggle illegal rhinoceros horn-ivory out of Mozambique. Just for the note, this is not a new phenomenon of using diplomatic immunity to smuggle money and other illegal items. However with the ever-increasing sanctions, we may see more and more of this happen.
Sunday, May 24th, marks the 5-year anniversary of the sinking of the ROKS Cheonan. Immediately after the sinking, South Korean sanctions against them have been in place ever since…
…South Korea has refused to take them off without an apology.
…However, now, they are saying that they may consider it if the North is willing to come to the peace table.
요! Here's the 411 on North Korea's propaganda and information flow!
North Korea's 국가해사감독국 (國家海事監督局/Maritime Administration) has a new website up, and shows some information on some of their merchant ships.
After using sexist comments on South Korean president 박근혜 (朴槿惠/Park, Geun-Hye), North Korean media has followed-up with a video called "Park, Geun-Hye's medical history", where they say that she is mentally ill. As of recent, there has been an increase in North Korean rhetoric against her.
Chad O'Carroll of NK News has an introduction of a device called the CCN1, made by a company called Endaga. What it is, is a device that can allow rural areas without cell phone coverage to operate their own indpendent network. Chad says that this would be good use for North Korea, since their cell network 고려링크 (Koryolink) is heavily monitored by the government. However, the CEO of the company said, that they try to not operate in areas with repressive regimes. I think that was also a nice way of saying that they are a law-abiding company, and don't export technology that's on the US Department of Commerce's Commerce Control List. That would also mean that if there were people who wanted to smuggle these into North Korea, would be breaking the law.
Do you know where the Supreme Leader might be? [(PAWStamp) "A CLUE! A CLUE!"]
Montgomery Grant pulled in a CNN article on 김설송(金雪松/Kim, Sol-Song), older half-sister to 김정은(金正恩/Kim, Jong-Un), saying that she's the one mentoring her younger half-siblings, and is probably calling a couple shots.
Earlier today, 김여정 (金與正/Kim Yo-jong) was shown on North Korean state media after a 47-day absence. Some people believe this supports the 국가정보원 (國家情報院/National Intelligence Service[NIS])'s assessments that she was pregnant, and expected to be due by the end of this month. However, this would go against the traditional East-Asian practice 坐月 (좌월/post-natal rest), where women who have given birth are suppose to stay inside their homes to rest for a month to physically recover.
Hold on! The ring that was worn by 김정은's grandmother, 김정숙 (金正淑/Kim, Jong-Suk), has been on display at the 조선혁명박물관 (朝鮮革命博物館/Korean Revolutionary Museum), but recently went missing. People all over are searching for the ring.
And, it's been a while, but we can say that we end this section, with a link to the Kim, Jong-un Looks at Things Tumblr Blog. This time: Looking at happy soldiers.
Now, we'll get to North-South relations, reunification issues, life in North Korea, & refugee matters.
Sunday, the 30-women group Women Cross DMZ, made their way to the South from North Korea, carrying their message of peace upon the peninsula. Joshua Stanton had some poignant criticism for the event, and of some of what he views as inconsistent views on sexism amongst the women and the North Koreans; you can check that out at the website.
…Kurt Achin of NK News, interviewed Martyn Williams of North Korea Tech about the use of "Periscope", Twitter's new live-streaming service, which was used by the Women Cross DMZ, while they were in North Korea. So if you caught it in time, yes you could have been watching things in North Korea as they happened, essentially curbing censorship (that would be, until North Korea wants to pull the plug on the cell network).
NK Today has an article with an interview of a North Korean English teacher, revealing what it's like to teach English in a country, that hates American imperialists.
May 5th was childrens' day in North Korea, and while it's a couple weeks late, the English translation describing what North Korean children dream about is out on New Focus International. Before, most every kid wanted to join the 고난의 행군 (苦難의行軍/Arduous March) came along, they wanted to become farmers, thinking they could secure some food for their families. Now, with the ever-increasing South Korean media flowing into the country, they want to become stars.
…A good follow-up to this is another article they have on the changing relationship children have with their parents. May 8th is South Korea's Parents' day, but North Korea has no such day for their parents. It's expected that children do this every single day, but with the ever-increasing harsh realities, where children were once afraid to speak up to their parents (either out of fear, or out of respect), they are now becoming much more harsh and critical of their parents. They believe that since life is too harsh, the pressure to maintain the old filial attitudes is eroding. People are having less children, because it's economically hard to support one.
Then, they followed up with an interview with 최현미 (崔賢美/Choi, Hyunmi), a defector who became the featherweight boxing champion. She talked about how she defected: Her family went on a trip to Vietnam, and it wasn't until they got there, that her father said, "we're defecting to the South". She talked about how she got into boxing by happenstance, and compared sports training lifestyles between the North and South. She said that the North emphasized the results of the match, and not so much the physical condition of the athlete. South Korea, focuses more on the mental aspects of what makes an athlete, and provides them with a lot more support, where the facilities and equipment used by North Koreans are antiquated.
South Korea's deputy for the Multilateral and Global Affairs, which is under the Ministry of Affairs, says that the two Koreas should take the initiative in unification, with help from the UN.
Someone asked NK News, if regionalism in North Korea existed. To which, it's not the same as it is in South Korea, but there are certain stereotypes that can differentiate. People in the Northeast are known to be "rough and tough" for instance. You can read more details, the link is in our shownotes.
The military's 보위 사령부(保衛司令部/Security Command), is inspecting guards and civilians across the border, to see who is assisting refugees trying to escape the country. According to NK News sources.
The UN wants to open up a Human Rights office in 서울. Nothing wrong there right? Not for North Korea! They threw a poo-poo party over it, saying that clearly the world is against them, and that they would retaliate in any way necessary.
Last week, we mentioned that a Unification Exhibition was opening to inform citizens about unification issues. It started earlier today, and will go on till Sunday.
This is our final segment. A hodgepodge of stories we didn't know where to put, like this one:
NK News brings us a piece from the Libyan Observer, which claims that a North Korean couple were kidnapped by ISIS in Sirte, Libya. This is the only source to have reported such an issue, and more verification is needed. The doctors were sent there on a humanitarian effort during the civil war, and were rumored to be given orders to stay there, in order to prevent information about the Arabic Spring from spreading to North Korea, so that their own people wouldn't try to imitate.
The International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) annual competition was held on May 10th in Chelyabinsk, Russia. 22 North Koreans were in attendance.
China's Foreign Ministry said that the Ambassador in China, 李進軍 (이진군/Li, Jin-Jun), had already presented his credentials to the leadership of the country, which means he is allowed to conduct his diplomatic duties within the country. There was some worry about him not having met the Supreme Leader directly.
…The press release was to address Chinese domestic rumors that North Korea was disrespecting their country, by not seeing their Ambassador.
On June 3rd, starting at 5:30pm, a Congressional showing of the South Korean movie, 『국제시장』("Ode to My Father"), a movie about a family divided on both sides of the border, will be showing. Head over to the Wilson Center website for the link to RSVP, the link is in our shownotes.
South Korean President 박근혜's Office, announced they would visit the US from June 14th to the 18th. North Korea criticized the move, saying that this would prevent any joint-Korean event on June 15, in commemoration of the 남북 공동선언(南北共同宣言/North-South Joint Declaration), which helped usher in good relations between the two Koreans in the early 2000s.
NK Today criticised a supposed refugee who wrote a piece for the South Korean conservative Newspaper, 조선일보 (朝鮮日報/Chosun Ilbo), claiming that the food situation is so bad, there are no migratory birds that fly across, as they have all been captured and eaten. However, NK Today traced the location where the birds lay and hatch their eggs: In Inner Mongolia. They rest in China, close to the PRC-DPRK border, then they mate in South Korea, close to the 비무장지대 (非武裝地帶/DeMilitarized Zone [DMZ]). If the birds were all eaten, they wouldn't be able to reach South Korea at all.
NK News has a story on taking a boat ride along the PRC-DPRK border, and some of the things they noticed. Check out the link, in our shownotes.

The Kentucky House, yesterday, passed a bill that encourages — but does not require — school districts to use more green cleaning materials. Backers of House Bill 146, which won quick approval in the House Education Committee, said such cleaning products are easy on the environment, work as well as traditional cleansers and would cost schools no more to use.

After many years of just flipping travel magazines after travel magazines in awe of these travelers' stories, I finally, nervously booked a flight to Hongkong for that decade-long longing to travel solo even if I don't have that much savings to cover all the possible cost of my trip. The time was March of 2012. That was when my colleague said "Hey Ate, there's a promo for Hongkong". I just told her right away, "Okay, book me!" No "what ifs?" Just that "now or never" moment of life :)
I have decided that it was there where I will spend my birthday (June 10).
I have decided that it was there where I will spend my birthday (June 10).
For me, it was venturing unto the unknown, going out of my comfort zone, just following my heart. I tried to gather the contacts that I have related to my mother's friend and that of her daughter who are both working in Hongkong and Macau.
I'm very poor financially, only rich in daydreams of seeing places. At that time, nothing can stop me, NOTHING can ever stop me. Not even my limited budget.
To save on expenses, I decided to bring apples, biscuits and yoghurt because I thought that I cannot afford the food in Hongkong. I'm so happy those food were not questioned during luggage scanning :) I can only grin from ear to ear after I have cleared after check in.
Being solo is just what I am during the flight. But staying in a hostel made everything so easy. I met like-minded people who are solo travelers that I went with to different places. An Indian woman, a Polish girl and meeting other travelers at the lounge area is so awesome when most of the time, we just laugh our nights away.
During the short time of travel to Hongkong and Macau, four strangers touched my life. At one point, after I visited Repulse Bay beach, and I was on my way back to Downtown Hongkong, the woman next to me on the bus helped me. The woman who looked like a Chinese turned out to be a Filipina from the North, an Ilocana. As I asked her the possible rate of texting someone using my PH mobile to someone in Hongkong, she offered her phone to me instead so I can send a text to May (the daughter of my mother's friend working in Hongkong).
The second time was when I was having my lunch at the restaurant located at Prince Bldg. I met another Filipina from Davao, and since it was a Sunday, she decided to join me on my trip. She accompanied me to Victoria's peak, offering to be my photographer and even told me to have another route on our way back to downtown so we can save. Instead of taking the tram back going down from the mountain, we decided to just take the bus that brought us back to downtown Hongkong. Until this time this woman named Jubelyn is still a friend and we met again last August in my province of Bohol.
Since Macau is just close to Hongkong, I decided to check the place. While I was there I was again looking for the means to call someone. Asking a local is quite a challenge because there is a difference on the accent of Filipinos and people from Macau. I chose a Caucasian woman in her 40s who at that time was distributing magazines of Jehova's Witness. I tried to catch her attention to ask her if where I can find a payphone for me to meet my mother's friend there. Even if she was busy, she attended to my question and offered to me her phone so I can call my mother's friend. After the call, she asked me "Are you a Filipina?" and when I said "Yes", she said "My stepmother is a Filipina too". I can only say thank you and give her my smile. That woman was from Sweden.
The last was the a beautiful girl who I sat next to in the bus. She is from Macau and I tried my best to talk to her so she can tell me the location of Mcdonalds where I will meet my mother's friend. Conversation was very hard, I end up hearing a different word when she meant something else but she never lose her patience until we finally parted ways near Mcdonalds. I can't forget her face and the kindness of that girl. All the difficulties of traveling solo was made more memorable because of people like them. More than the place, its the complete strangers who helped me make it through and helped me exclaimed in the end "I SURVIVED!" that made my trips memorable.
Since then, I have made solo travels again in many parts of the Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan.

Our Correspondent
Afghanistan has asked Pakistan to hand over its five top militant commanders imprisoned in the country. According to the government in Kabul, the militants can play a key role in Afghan peace and reconciliation process.
Adviser to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Reconciliation and Peace Affairs Muhammad Hanif Atmar recommended the names on the sidelines of the 72nd United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session in New York last month, an Afghan journalist working with Tolo TV Abulhaq Omeri told media.
According to the adviser, he had handed over the list to Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif comprising 35 commanders, five of whom have a say in Taliban Shura and could play a role for peace in the war-ravaged Afghanistan.
Meeting between the two sides on the sidelines of the UNGA, followed by the recent visit of Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa to Kabul paved the way for Afghan president's visit to Islamabad in the near future.
Another Afghan interior ministry official present at the Kabul meeting revealed names of the five commanders, including co-founder of Afghan Taliban Mullah Ghani Baradar, senior members of the so-called Quetta Shura Mullah Ahmadullah Nani, Mullah Sammad Sani, and Mullah Suliman Agha who was arrested from a seminary in Quetta's Satellite Town along with four others on October 11 2014.
The two sides had agreed in principle to ink an agreement in the next session in Islamabad to exchange prisoners jailed in either side of the border.
However, the two neighbouring countries do not have in place a formal agreement for the exchange of prisoners.
The civil and military leaders will also sign an agreement to inform each other if one of the countries initiates a military operation in its side of the border against the other.
