One of my interests is wrist watches. Elegant engineering packaged in such a small space. It's been a life-long interest.

As a watch fanatic, I receive several newsletters. Today I received a newsletter, the heading of which included "Live images" and "Live photos". 

Now, I don't know about you, but I've never seen a "Dead photo" or a "Dead image". What is a "live image"? Your guess is as good as mine, but what I think the writer intended was to describe an image taken at a particular place and ti

  Well,I have a tough time,leaving my home,finding a job,finding a flat,blah blah blah. At now,everything is fine except the environment. I really can't bear it.

“Love”

I am afraid that now “Love” is supposed to be the attraction between two opposite sex. Go and surf the net you will find tons of material on this topic. Your toil will not be of much beneficial if you try to find “Love” in other relations.

“LOVE” is the most talk about term since the time memorial – since the creation of mankind (Adam). It existed since then; rather I must say even before, when there was nothing but the Creator; even the creation of the universe is because of LOVE – love of

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It's an American holiday. His speech is famous even in Japan. He fought racism.

I am really disappointed about myself, specifically about my worries. Why am I so scared? How can I improve my mental strength, have you any suggestion, friends?

 My worries are countless...! Sometimes it seems as phobia. I am afraid of ride a lift, being scared of snake, dog even  when I see a dog in the road, I instantly start to think whereas it would bite me or not and more over, sometimes I think that whereas it has already bit me!

Along with it, I am being afraid of making conversation, to b

This is my third entry on My Perth Diary. This blog is dedicated to 1 Omer who told me that he needs a year to finish reading my previous blog, Day Two : 30th Dec 2013. I hope this blog is not that long, and he will be able to finish it before the grape juice turn into wine. LOL

It's 1/19/2014 here in the U.S.

Tomorrow is a nationally celebrated holiday. Some of us take the day off. Our government offices, banks, and many other businesses observe it's historical impact. Tomorrow is MLK's birthday.

Most Americans have no idea of who Martin Luther King really was or what he stood for. To me, he's an icon that deserves praise, admiration, and respect for his accomplishments.

He lost his life while fighting for what he believed in. That's an admirable quality in my opinion.

  In fact, I'm not a super fan of candies but I can say I enjoy eating sometimes a bar of white chocolate. Its flavour is very different of brown chocolate. It's like a milk in a bar shape. It's very soft, creamy and it's used to melt quickly inside mouth. It's advisable to consume a half of a brown chocolate bar, because it's good for heart health say doctors. Particulary, I don't like  brown chocolate because I think it's a strong taste. This way, brown chocolate an

Last night Tintin could not sleep properly, around 4 A.M she rose up. There was no chirping of morning birds. May be they were also in their deep sleep. Only the sound of a dripping tap was coming towards her ears and it was too annoying!  So, she got up and went towards the direction to stop it.

Tintin fears from darkness so, always  likes to sleep  with  a dim light. " But what's happened today, why there is darkness all around?" It seemed she felt stifle." I must see what is going on". As she
