	<dc:creator>dhope</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[As I flipped through the various pages of Facebook, scouring familiar faces, I find myself skimming past many people that I recognise and even talked to previously, but have no eagerness to contact. Not because I want to avoid, but simply because there is no "want" to meet.The feeling is that of "bubble tea". You see it around, you know its popular, and you know people would …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>dhope</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[Today I had a thought. I suddenly had the urge to meet a friend. But I lost his number. So I went on Friendster to find him. Along the way, I saw a few other friends that I havent met in a while. So I took note. And then another few, and another few notes...As time passed by, I realised I had lost contact with so many friends, I do not even know where to begin. And it dawned …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I just read a post (link)  by Public Education regarding cruelty to animals, and a choice to change that by going vegan.The link talks about animals being cruelly handled/tortured/bred before being turned into food/profits. The video shows exactly that and leaves me with a tinge of sadness, making me seriously consider being vegetarian.That is, until I consider the fact that …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I was just relating the post about Corruption of the Catholic Church by Sicarii, to my friends when it hit me... why do christians only target the Catholics? Why not Muslims or Hindus or Buddhists? Shouldnt it be across the board? Boy, do they get it easy...It's like they have some hidden agenda when it comes to evangelism. Save the christians, Save the world!!! It feels like …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>dhope</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[I decided to check back on Sicarii's post on "The Corruption Of The Roman Church" and realised that there were new comments and a mini discussion has begun on which church is correct; Christian or Catholic. Therefore, I present my personal view on the matter and hope that no offence is taken.What I call for is respect and tolerance. We all have our beliefs and faith. Even …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I guess we have all read about Priss vs ShadowFox and many blogs are covering the events, so I dun really need to go into detail.Rather, I would like to ask if everyone feels that "Open Speech" is the way to go for every single topic or should the community actually HAVE an opinion. Some, like nocturne, have already voiced their thoughts and I applaud them for their bravery, …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[It all became clear to me last night while watching the Man U vs Roma game.There I was, mumbling about how boring the game is and how unexpected the squad was, making me lose money blah blah blah.... Then she suddenly stood up, clapping her hands above her head and ALMOST shedding a tear.I looked at the screen and saw Gary Neville (who was injured for 3/4 of the season) …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I shan't go into details of the article in The New Paper, except that students were complaining about the poor treatment they got, as a way of "understanding what-if situations".I think too much criticism has been put onto the students who are pampered. OF COURSE they are pampered. We ALL are. We should not be expected to understand wartime situations. It is abnormal.Humans …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I was reading today's New Paper, and I had a few thoughts creeping in.Singapore's most wanted man, Mas Selamat Kastari escaped and is now on the run, limping. I know how Fidel Castro looks like. I know how Osama Bin Laden looks like. But hell, if Kastari sits on the bus beside me, I will never know...We get caught for pirated VCDs at the causeway checkpoint. We are checked …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>dhope</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[I have never thought about either software before until today. I supposed the increase in responsibility and the handling of sensitive data, coupled with the need for email mobility has made me more conscious of data security. Sooner or later, I would have to get either or both installed and I might as well think about it now.So back to topic, WaveSecure or PhoneBAK SE? Lets …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>dhope</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[Why did Snprss piss me off? Because the HR personnel belittled me. What started out as a friendly phone interview became a scrutiny of my work experience and belittlement.Admittedly, I took too many contract positions and as expected, I was fielded the usual why. Which I gladly answered. Then she started saying cos' I had no long-term experience, I should be branded as a …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Simply because competition always benefits the consumers. Dats us bloggers by the way... being consumers, not competition... yah, watever....zzzHow so? Show me...A) By having only 1 ad, bloggers allow themselves to be monopolised and controlled by any 1 single entity. Spread out the playing field and force them to fight for you. There are lotsa space available. Whoever pays …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Sigh. I was hoping to clear some stuff before I come back to blogging proper, but unfortunately such enticing entries/topics beckoned me. Religion always intrigues me, and discernment of sermons is especially close to heart.Sicarii writes that the public should discern sermons and be careful what the teachings are. I FULLY agree and encourage it. I have attended countless …]]></description>
