That's really sad. D:
Can you imagine losing your own kids, that'd be horrible! And did they say how old the kids were? |
|
A girl was 16. Another girl was 14. There was a boy who was 10 years old and another boy who was 6. Along with that, the mother was burnt dangerously due to the explosion. The interview was just... horrible. But it had a happy ending!

Why can't we all just get along in the world? What is the main reason why we are at war? Do people even remember the real reason why we are at war? All war really does is rip families apart.
1 – Shadow|
The war happened in 2006 and all the children died. Of course, both the parents were emotionally destroyed. The mother spent two years treating herself and her skin became normal again, and her hair grew up again. They said then that their life was empty and lost hope in living (I totally understand that). They couldn't bring children again because the mother had made a surgery which stopped her from getting pregnant anymore. She cried and prayed and tried, along with yet another surgery. Yet the surgery failed. She tried again and failed. She tried the third time and the surgery yet failed again. In the fourth time she succeeded and they brought a son who is now a year old. I saw him, and he so cute! They said that it is this son who brought them back to life. I was so overwhelmed.

So I just got a new avatar and uploaded my first photo album onto VR. I'm feeling unnecessarily excited about this. xD
|
Avatar changes and siggy changes feel like a new beginning. It's important to keep things fresh.

Alright, let's not turn this into an elaborate argument.
![]() Anyways, Christmas is only three days away from today. What are you guys doing to prepare for it (other than the obvious stuff like trees)? |
Oh, I definitely will. Already been there once, and this time I'm going with one of my best friends
It should be better then the last time although we will only be there for 3 days. I suppose that is enough.
The only bad part is that we leave on the 26th, so I'll only have half a day to play with my presents I guess. Fortunately that is enough time for a few hours of Rock Band with my new cymbal kit for the drums. ![]()
1 – ShadowI still have one half-day of school left (on X-mas eve eve! Seriously!), and it's for the annual talent show.
My school's having a pie-a-teacher-in-the-face contest. The two most hated teachers in the school and two teachers who I guess just want to be pied in the face are competing. Each has a jar that students can put money into, and the two teachers with the most money are pied at the end of the talent show. Hopefully, it'll be entertaining enough to justify going to school two days before christmas.
1 – The Spirit of TimeToday I went to my eye doctor to carry out an eye sight check. Since I am short-sighted, I had -1.5 in one of my eyes and -1.75 in the other. Now they're -1.75 and -2.0, respectively. The doctor told me that in about a year's time, my eye sight will probably, though not assuredly, stabilize and stop decreasing. Until then, I'm required to take regular eye drops which moisten the surface of my eye. I also asked about the laser operation which can be done in the future to return my eye sight to normal, and he said that I can only take it when I'm 20 years. However, he pointed out that I need to carry out a check to see if my eye's retina is capable of handling the laser beam...

Is it me, or are students getting killed quite often these days? |
|
It sucks to have death during Christmas. I really hate such like this thing to happen.

IT TOTALLY WAS!!
After they pied the first two teachers, they took out two more pies and threw it at the other two. (All four were wearing safety goggles, btw.) I daresay that this was the best school day of my life. |

On an off-topic note, anyone notice how we get more users around the time of a major tournament?

I have strange vision, according to my doctor. Which makes sense, in some cases.
My left eye: -.5 (Not too bad)
My right eye: -2.0 (Considerably worse than my other eye)
According to an x-ray scan of the nerves in my eyes, the nerves in my left eye are larger than the nerves in my right eye. Which is strange, since eye nerves are supposed to be the same size.

My eye sight is 20/20. I went to the optometrist and he asked me to read the littlest letters and when I told him what they were without a problem he just looked at me in amazement. It was weird he was staring at me for so long so I smiled at him. =D
I love my perfect eye sight. |
|
Lucky.
I have suckish eyesight. I'd like to get contacts, or better yet, eye surgery. My brother and friends say I look better with glasses, though... |
I do wear glasses. My eyesight isn't terrible, but slightly weak. However, the last time I visited the optometrist, he said something about my retina, but I didn't understand much. He is Russian, so his language is slightly hard to configure.
We went to the desert today (It is Christmas Eve here). While we were driving, my friend drove over a steel pipe that was erected vertically. One of the tires popped, but when a huge tire pop, it sounds more of exploding. We spent like an hour or more fixing it. It was fun though, excluding the expenses my friend is going to pay for buying a new tire.
While we were there, I found a bullet. I bet there were more, but it was too dark so I couldn't find more. Here it is.

But I don't like skins, SK. I'm so used to the bland VB style it seems unnatural to use anything else.

I've tried contacts, and trust me, when I say they burn, I really mean it. I did not like them right from the first usage, and I just felt a strange desire to poke my eye because of their presence. And then there's the difficulty of putting them on, cleaning them and removing them carefully from your eyes, which can take a really long time.

You changed it, FW? o3o I'm not sure how. The only thing wrong is that it doesn't say Victory Road on it. 
1 – ShadowI really don't have a good vision and the only thing I don't like wearing glasses is playing sports since I have a fear that it will break in the process. I wore glasses mainly at home and school. Despite having a poor vision, I can play tennis well as long I can see enough to hit the ball where I want to. I was thinking about getting eye surgery in the future but I am afraid that I have to keep my eye open in the whole process.
|
Yeah, I think that's what it's called. Have you heard anything about it?
|
|
That actually looks like a thing I saw on a show called How It's Made, they usually show how things are manufactured but they actually described laser eye surgery in detail. It's pretty interesting, not much margin for error.
|
|
My grandpa had laser eye surgery. My dad also had Lasik. Both of them have perfect vision now and they used to wear glasses.
|
|
Wow, epic late reply.. Anyway..
Yeah, my brother had it in 2001. Its pretty amazing actually, you pay $2k (my countries currency) to go under a table where you lie for about 10 minutes, then *click click* *machine moves to next eye* *click click*, and boom, your vision is near perfect again. |
|
It is because when you are at that age, your eye sight stops getting weaker. Therefore, you can do the surgery without being afraid that your eyes are going to get weak again. If you do the surgery before such an age, your eyes will get weak again after the surgery.

@ Shadow
From what I know, you have to be 21. Although you might be able to do it at 18 if your eye is mature enough, but regulations probably leave it at 21 just to be sure. |
).Now that the release date is confirmed, I am going to daily countdown until the release date. However, I will be mentioning the release date according to Dubai.
So, sixty nine days left!
Yesterday we celebrated my sisters' birthday by going to a resort which is next to the beach. We spent the evening there until late night. The food was delicious and the Christmas choirs that were played added a nice atmosphere.

I've been playing/failing at TF2 for the last hour. Love that game so much, thank you JAD~! ^~^
I really hope I get better at it though. Right now I'm the most noobish of the noobs. |
Well, the 3DS isn't that bad, it's got some decent games I must say.
I was looking at some of the 3DS games, and the Paper Mario one seems to be going back to its original RPG elements, and another game I thought looked nice was the Mario Kart 3DS, I could only imagine what Nintendos going to do with it,

I hate it when we have tournaments. The amount of traffic we get is like putting a high class dinner party on the back of a donkey.
