Bear in mind that:The US, under Bush administration, has made terrorism the central focus of its foreign policy. Thus, right after the 911 attacks, it took only 11 days for Bush and his contingents to declare the war on terror to the world and initiate their moves and actions on this life-concerning issue.We have all heard all about the North Korea's test fires missiles in summer 2006.

15 years later...When things were suddenly inexplicableWhen words lost their ability to explainWhen logic failed to give sensible analysisWhen idealisms were abruptly challengedYet, it seemed right in blissThen it sprang to mind that:"Meeting you was fate. Becoming your friend was a choice.But, falling in love with you I had no control over..."

Depressing traffic. Bad public transportation. Multiplyingly polluted air (hell, even the pollution here is polluted). Random weather. Countless corruption. Both undependable and complicated bureaucratic system. Overrated shopping mall. Thoughtless high consumerism.

But, as for me, it has rang true for a different case.I did see that old "thing" since yonks ago. A remarkably

An insight into exile and memory..."...For memory to function well, it needs constant practice: if recollections are not evoked again and again, in conversations with friends, they go.For nostalgia does not heighten memory’s activity, it does not awaken recollections; it suffices unto itself, unto its own feelings, so fully absorbed is it by its suffering and nothing else..."-Milan Kundera-

It was just a regular foggy-cloudy morning in birmingham in autumn. Waking up, brushing teeth, washing face, and starting to cook. Having had breakfast (err...more like a "brunch", i s'pose), i sat in front of my laptop and - as usual - started to check the news from all the usual sources online. From the Guardian to the Economist, moving on to BBC News, CNN, and then i ended my ritual by reading

Having read the latest world news from different sources, my poignant mind were challenged to conclude a thought linking to an idea of a movie about a superhero. A seemingly imaginative idea that the world needs more than one superman. Why? You probably live in a secluded different world if you don’t know Superman. Regarded as the most famous fictional character, Superman is the first comic

Just a little bit of danger, when intriguingly, our little secret trusts that you trust me. Cause no one will ever know that this was happening. So tell me why you listen when nobody's talking. What is there

Dear Dad...In the light of the upcoming Father's day, i feel the need to express how grateful i am to have you.Dear Dad...You've given me everything. Including showing me how beautiful this life is. But, what's more: you've taught me so many things. Lessons that i've been learning from you. Lessons that i'll be carrying and keeping in mind for the rest of my life. Lessons that money can't buy.

I've been having this thinking since last week. But i haven't got a chance to reveal it on the IPE exam. the comparative kind of question didn't come up.Dear Mr. Gilpin,Albeit it's weird. I want to express my admiration and appreciation to your own thinking. Not in the way Mr. Cox and other Neo-Gramscianists do. I would admit that I've been interested in your perpectives since i read your 1987's

okay... i'm not trying to mock Mr. Shakespeare himself right there. It's just the exact words to reflect the situation now.I was asking myself: "what kind of blog i want to have?"

I promised myself yonks ago (oh well, not that long...only about 3 months, i guess) that i'd create blog or something like that as soon as i submitted all the courseworks. The idea was due to a thought that as i had been writing quite a lot (either useless, pointless, or meaningful), but all i did was just kept them safely on my laptop.
