Trade tit-for-tats among countries are always a considerable cause of concerns.

Montages are so vivid to look upon.

Chilled to the core

Check out this piece of news of Jan. 17th, 2011: Woman’s cries ignored as she freezes to death: Police.

And this: DiManno: Freezing death not a sign we’re cold-hearted.

Quote from the second above article:

In this case, “I’m not saying she should have been let in, but people should have at least phoned 9-1-1.”

Another local resident, George Cheang, had difficulty believing that the victim’s cries would have been ignored. He was awakened about 3 a.m. by “yelling or arguing,” Cheang told the Star. “I thought it was a family argument or perhaps some partying or drinking going on.”

So he went back to sleep.

“They can think what they want to think,” Cheang said of the police claims that the victim’s beseechings fell on deaf ears. “Neighbours always say ‘Hi’ to each other and we often borrow from each other, things like tools.”

Residents of the heavily Asian Rosewood community meet regularly to discuss the importance of reporting suspicious behaviour. Said one neighbour: “We watch over each other.”

I would say people, including myself, are chilled to the core. Oh, that Scarborough neighborhood.

Real-life experience and enlightenment tends to make people have second thoughts.

Bill Clinton has been such a rainmaker.

'Drill, baby, drill'

I just did a double take on Sarah Palin's viral slogan, 'Drill, baby, drill'. How come it seems to have a sexual implication with it? Ah, baby, it's so gelivable.

The home stretch

The home stretch of the democratization of alternative-energy cars seems to be bringing down the costs of building them to an affordable level for consumers. Once that is finished, I am afraid that day will see the beginning of the end of the Mideast's oil countries' prosperity.

Chinese puns have been prospering on the internet.

I like this version more than the one below.

Politicians and statesmen are so busy ratifying international economic treaties here and there.

Well, it's somewhat sad to see that Facebook has entirely vanquished the imagination of the media and that of the investment world.

The Western pop music has branched out so many moieties along the way.

I don't grasp that people wager their hard earned money on lotteries.

The web is seized of benefits and detriments.

For a person without a firm values system in place, doubts tend to him and prick his mind-set.

The first two development stages of my English learning can be considered to be over and done with.

Oh, New York, New York. It houses two slick major print media - The New York Times, and The New Yorker.

New York, an indisputable centre of sophistication.

Reading a text leads to reading oneself.
