Cyber Age

Welcome to what I call the 'Cyber - Age' , when literally everything happens over the Internet.You can catch up with those friends you haven't seen in a long time. Over here you can download those songs that won't stop playing in your head. Please don't forget to fill in your Cyber Identity Cards(a.k.a Facebook profile , myspace page etc). Right now we are being ruled over by Facebook.com , I am sure you have heard about it. Your friends are waiting for you online . If you have any questions about anything in life ,don't ask me instead go to www.google.com. Facebook , Twitter , Orkut etc are our means of communication. Gone were the days when we called people using our telephones and cellphones now we summon them online! We have a lifestyle online! Though some people may not like the 'Cyber Revolution' or the reign of social networking websites, I love it! "Farewell my good friend I hope to see you online everyday!" , these days even if our friends move away to other countries thanks to the great social networking websites we can talk to them everyday , so its really not like they left. Sometimes we learn a lot about people from their 'Cyber Identity Card'(a.k.a their facebook profile). From personal experience I am more connected with my friends over facebook than on phone or in person , I don't feel that's a bad thing its pretty fun in fact. All this definitely makes me wonder what the next big thing is? What website is going to knock off facebook from its throne? Will Internet be extinct one day because a more fun and advanced alternative has been found? Only time can answer my questions.

Simplcity in Fashion?

Ancient man and woman's clothing was animal skin so there wasn't much variety in clothing and at that time clothing was more a necessity than a fashion statement. Over years we have got more and more variety in clothing , styles ,colours and so on. Many say that simplicity is the only rule that one must follow when they dress up. I disagree. I believe that fashion is an outlet to express one's individual style and not everyone likes to keep it simple that's not every one's style. Many times we watch some fashion shows and think why anyone would design things that look like they belong in a trash can , personally even I used to think the same but then I thought fashion is an outlet to express your style so if the designer's style is wild ,wacky and out of this world then designing clothes like that is not a crime. According to me what you wear should truly represent you , and then what you wear will automatically boost you self confidence. Never wear clothes that contradict you and your style. So if simplicity isn't your style don't try it.

Eating whipped cream with a straw

After getting my 'chocolate chip cream'(ice coffee) from the counter , I took a seat with my father at a table in Starbucks. I couldn't help but admire the beautiful and delicious liquid in a plastic cup that was in my hands. The ice coffee had a delicious topping - whipped cream! You could probably imagine my delight. I didn't want to suck the whipped cream through the straw instead i wanted to use my straw as 'the weapon to devour the unsuspecting whipped cream! . So basically I wanted to use my straw as a spoon and eat the whipped cream , yet I had to remind myself that I was in a classy coffee shop where proper etiquette should be my guide. I glanced at the whipped cream which tempted me even more. I am only 13 years old would people really expect me to exhibit lady - like manners. I thought ahead into the future for a little while , coming on a coffee break to Starbucks ,my 24 year old self buys an ice coffee and tries the 'straw for spoon' stunt. At that age it would definitely be awkward and people would surely expect me to follow lady - like manners. So after deliberating in my head I came to a verdict. I took the lid off , my 'weapon to devour' ready in my hand I then scooped a bit of the whipped cream and felt it melt in my mouth. The feeling of satisfaction I had , I didn't get the outcome I feared. I am pretty sure my 24 year old self would be proud of what I did cause if not now, when?
