Survival guide television shows are absolutely amazing; I just can’t seem to get enough of them. I have the kind of brain that is not happy unless it’s always learning something new, and these shows never fail to disappoint. From watching these shows, I’ve learned (for the most part) how to survive in some of Earth’s most treacherous locations; likewise, I’ve learned how to make a whole lot out of barely anything at all. Of course, the coolest thing that I’ve learned to do is to build a shelter from virtually nothing at all. If I’m in a forest, I’m going to be able to build a small shelter (and a fire) out of branches and leaves. For the most part, it’ll be able to hold up to brutal winds and rain as well. I hope that I never have to make use of these skills, but it’s really great to know that I have them.

Earlier today [11th March 2011] Japan was hit by a major earthquake; measuring a reported 8.9 on the Richter scale. The huge quake is the worst earthquake in Japan’s history and the seventh largest recorded earthquake in history (with the largest measuring 9.5, which hit Chile in 1960).
The earthquake, which struck at around 14.40 local time, is already known to have claimed 44 lives, with that figure expected to increase throughout the day. Many more people are missing, and the logistics of finding and helping those people are being made far more difficult due to the fact that all public and major transport networks have been shut down.
The earthquake has also triggered a tsunami in the country, which is currently causing huge amounts of damage to property and infrastructure.
There is also now a tsunami warning for the whole of the Pacific basin, with the exception of Canada and some parts of mainland United States.

Today is the last day of our final exams week. I cannot wait for this day to be over. I am drained and wanted to unwind as soon as this day will end. I am planning to just stay in the house and play online flight simulator games as soon as I get home. It has been a week or two that I am off from playing. I have to study for this exam week. All my exams so far were difficult, but good thing I studied, I was able to answer the questions. After the exam, I will drop by my grandmother’s house. I missed her. I have not visited her as well. She said she would prepare a snack for me. Eating snacks before going home would be perfect so I can play right away as soon as I get home. I’m excited already. I hope my last exam would not be hard so I could finish it right away.

Keeping up is one thing but becoming the best is totally a different stage of incremental development and it’s up to you to decipher of how you are going to do it eventually.

At this point along, iphone 5 would always be relevant on the market but the question is, for how long? Because as you can see, there’s an impending need for Apple to start soon or they might be sweep by Android’s soldiers marching on every targeted users iPhone used to have last three years ago. At this point, it’s not really a question of if android will beat iPhone but rather, when? And I do believe not even the popularity of iphone 5 can save Apple from that eventful happening.
