In a few hours, (re)construction will begin somewhere in Seattle on Interstate 5 which will definitely create one of the biggest traffic gridlocks in Washington state history.

Wake Me Up When August Ends
Hey I've all of a sudden decided to make the most of my summer. I will not be hanging around this computer not much more. School starts at the end of August... so wake me up when it ends!!!
Summer on Flickr
"The summer wind came blowing in
from across the sea.
It lingered there to touch your hair
and walk with me.
All summer long we sang a song
and then we strolled that golden sand.
Two sweethearts and the summer wind.
Like painted kites, those days and nights,
they went flying by.
The world was new beneath the blue umbrella sky.
Then softer than, a piper man
one day it called to you.
And I lost you, to the summer wind.
The autumn wind
and the winter wind have come and gone.
And still the days, those lonely days
go on and on.
And guess who sighs his lullabies
through nights that never end..
My fickle friend, the summer wind."
Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind"

Computer Troubles
Once again my computer has ceased to properly work as the hard drive has most likely crashed. Everything will be fixed within about a week. At the moment I am using a computer in my local library. (Thanks).
Anyways, it's halfway through the summer and I have about one more month of carefree days until school starts and I'll begin a new adventure in high school. We'll talk about this more later.
Rupert Murdoch has bought the Wall Street Journal and I don't think I feel happy about this. The credibility and journalistic integrity of one of our nation's oldest newspapers is at stake. I'm a bit surprised at the Bancroft family for doing this but I'm sure they've thought it through. I'd read TVNewser for more on this.
So I hope you have a good summer and I hope to be back soon.

Person of the Week
In 1991 at the height of the popular cartoon Blondie, Peter Jennings selected Dean Young, the son of Blondie cartoon creator 'Chic' Young, to be World News Tonight's "Person of the Week". Now more than 15 year later, World News (Tonight) has selected Matt Groening to be their "Person of the Week" in commemoration of the new Simpsons movie. Changing times.
Hot Day in Seattle
Clear skies and 96°Fareinheit in Seattle but will be lowering towards the weekend and Monday. Should be partly cloudy/sunny until this time next week.http://www.komotv.com/weather
Anyways, here's Johnny Cash with 'Ring of Fire' 1986.
I think Johnny Cash is like John Wayne singing. Both are great entertainers.
Love is burning thing and it makes a fiery ring. Bound by wild desires, I fell into a ring of fire.
I fell into burning ring of fire. I went down down down and the flames went higher. And it burn burns burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fire... :) haha..ok.

USA Holds Natl Spelling Bee Title; O'Canada Takes 2nd
I am so sorry I have been unable to blog for the last several weeks.
It's been a busy month.
Anyways, as you could see from my title, a Canadian has been unable to become the first one to do so in the Scripps Natl' Spelling Bee. Not a lot to say. Here's a great report from ABCNews.com .
Hope I can blog more soon. Maybe the best thing I can do is just give these headlines.

This Friday before Mother's Day
Good evening on this TGIF Friday. This Sunday is Mother's Day and I haven't forgotten.
Two weeks ago our school was hosting a conference spelling bee. I remember that during the first half of the bee, our school was sweeping the house and was winning the first couple grades. The great feeling that ran through our school was electrifying knowing our school was right at it.
Yeah, we rocked.
World News with Charles Gibson was here in Seattle yesterday and today is their last day here. Watch to see their Person of the Week.
Now I couldn't really decide over what song to give you, as Mother's Day is on Sunday. Maybe the best song is the original "If I Can Dream" by Elvis Presley as a solo, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Barbra Streisand, maybe even"My Girl" by the Tempations, or perhaps that duet by Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie, what was it called? "Unforgettable" ? That's right.
You know. I could have put the Temptations' "My Girl" here and the words and everything would have been just right for all the mothers out there but that's okay.
Anyways, good night and have a Happy Mother's Day.

Before I Forget
Just a little less than a month ago was the 95th anniversary of the maiden voyage, iceberg collision, and sinking of the RMS Titanic. I don't recall anyone mentioning anything about it but I might as well now before I forget.
Now I have been thinking about 1997 Titanic movie as well as the 1953 version and the playing of "Nearer my God to Thee", the song believed to have been played by Wallace Hartley and his Titanic band while the ship was almost sunk. Quite powerful indeed, and his famous quote used in the 1997 movie:
"Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you
tonight."
Many lives were lost and their stories of love, anger, hate,
business, richness, and humbleness; all portrayed in books, songs, movies.
So here is that clip from the 1997 movie of the Titanic band playing "Nearer My God to Thee."

One week ago Friday
Sorry I haven't posted for a week. It has been a long yet a short one; a hard one yet an easy one. Normal sunny afternoon -actually evening in Seattle. Friday and I'm bored out of my mind even though I have some work to do which I'm not doing. All my feelings in a few sentences.
Anyways, there are going to be some changes here in my spot and you'll notice them soon enough.
NBC Nightly News and ABC's World News were great and you should watch NN's netcast on MSNBC.com and WN's webcast at ABCNews.com. Nightly News's studio is being redone and according to Brian, they'll be ready by winter. Seems like a long time. I wonder how long it took to makeover ABC's WNT studio with Peter.
Remember Celine Dion and "Elvis"'s duet on American Idol. I liked it and the song, so here.
Have a great weekend.

This Week
Sunny Friday afternoon here in Seattle. So much has been happening this week and anniversaries of events that almost coincide with the stories happening. This whole week has been about Virginia Tech's tragedy and the troubled killer, the mailing of a package, the controversy of gun control as well as censorship in media. Now my teen mind is full and almost confused with the problems surrounding this massacre; how a young man could develop his mind into a troubled and sick head, how idiots will try to politicize the grief and sadness of family and friends, and how a world can support the people hurt in the tragedy. Yes this is the world we live in, full of so much grief and joy, tragedy and triumph.
I was thinking of giving "Over the Rainbow" but I decided to give a song I'm sure you know.
(Found on YouTube)
Have a great weekend...

Day of Mourning
Last night on ABC's World News, Charlie Gibson introduced a short memorial slideshow of the victims killed by the boy with a troubled mind in Virginia Tech. I thought it was quite moving.
Tonight World News' Persons of the Week are the killed students of Virginia Tech. Today was an official day of mourning in Virginia and people are displaying their suppport by wearing the VT's colors of maroon and orange. This morning on "Good Morning America", Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts were wearing maroon/orange in support; I've been wearing orange today too.
Be sure to read "When the Networks Do the Right Thing" on ABCNews.com .
Today was also the eighth anniversary of Columbine. Ironic but the troubled boy probably wanted it like that.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a
part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as
well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine
own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and
therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
Last night ABC aired a special edition of "Primetime" with Diane Sawyer and Chris Cuomo. And the rich and heartfelt notes from the trumpet playing during transitions was courteous to the moment and the feelings across the nation and around the world.
Killer Seung Cho-Hui had a troubled mind. He was one the many killed on April 16 but he himself was a victim of his own doing and I cannot place his name with the names of those killed in this tragedy, which I believe have been revealed and the grieved family and friends notified.
These are the names of the victims killed in the massacre at Virginia Tech:
Ryan Clark
Emily Hilscher
Ross Abdallah
Jamie Bishop
Brian Bluhm
Rachael Hill
Jarret Lane
Minal Panchal
Erin Peterson
Michael Steven Pohle, Jr.
Matt La Porte
Julia Pryde
Austin Cloyd
Henry Lee
Mary Karen Read
Jocelyne Couture-Nowak
Reema Samaha

Liviu Libreschu
Kevin Granata
Partahi Lumbantoruan
Leslie Sherman
Matthew Gwaltney
Lauren McCain
Maxine Turner
Nicole Regina White
Dan O'Neil
Juan Ortiz
Jeremy Herbstritt
Caitlin Hammaren .
It is they for whom the bell of sadness tolls.
VT On the 'Net Effect
As I've been looking at pages and surfing throughout the Internet, mainly Flickr, YouTube, and other sites, I can see how this Virginia Tech tragedy has affected all of us. Seeing the crystal clear pictures on Flickr of the convocation and memorial events at VT. I saw this photo of what looks like a stereotypical local news reporter at the scene as well as another of Dan Rather on the spot. I remember seeing a photo of a reporter from Asian network TV Asahi just arriving at the scene of new developments yesterday; it looked rather odd seeing the reporter running to the scene and I laughed. I saw another photo of the convocation and a newspaper in the forefront. Yet one more deep photo of photographers and students gathered around the large VT letters and memorial. And finally was a photo of the American, Virginian, and VTech flags at half staff in Blacksburg.
This tragedy affected us all and touched us all, and we have got to respect that.
Not only that, but a phrase we hear now "We're all Hokies now." Now because of this tragedy it has brought the world together in such a way.

Virginia Tech Quote
Now I remember this quote from the convocation by Nikki Giovanni earlier this afternoon at Virginia Tech; a very strong quote.

"We are the Hokies. We will prevail... We are Virginia Tech!"

In Wake of the Virginia Tech Tragedy
Sorry I haven't been able to blog for several days now. So much has been happening in the news and the tragedy and feelings of grief upon all of everyone in America and the world right now.
I'm sure you know what you want to know of the Virginia Tech massacre so I won't repeat it again.
It was this morning that we learned the killer was Cho Seung-Hui and students were said to say he was known as a "loner."
I just can't understand why this had to happen but all I can do is pray for the family and friends of the dead.
In this tragedy, were stories of courage and comfort. I'm sure you know that Facebook was used as a means of communication between isolated students.
What I don't like about this tragedy is how people are trying to politicize the shootings and how it could have been prevented by increasing or decreasing the right to carry weapons. Idiots all of them, making darn politics out of sadness.
This week is a week full of history and has so many differences and similarities between then and now:
April 15 1961: the Bay of Pigs invasion occurred and ended on unsuccessfully on April 19.
April 15 1989: Students held demonstrations in the Tiananmen Square protests.
April 18 1906: Major earthquake in San Francisco resulting in a large death toll.
April 19 1993: the Waco Siege with David Koresh ended after 51 days.
April 20 1999: Two teenagers killed 13 other persons in the Columbine High School shooting.
Last night I was watching "World News With Charles Gibson". Charlie usually ends with "I hope you've had a good day..." but last night he ended "I wish I could say it's been a good day; it hasnt..."
Tonight Charlie is reporting from Virginia, be sure to watch him.
You can see excerpts of this on ABC News Now which is presently reairing it intermittently. Click on the link on the front page of ABC News.
We must think to realize that Cho Seung-Hui was a person with feelings and a heart but made a hurting choice that resulted in this.
We must also remember that those killed in this tragedy are humans and they had families and they deserve the right to rest in peace, without politics.
Here is a photo slideshow from ABCNews.com of those killed.
It's a sunny yet hard and rough evening here in Seattle but the sorrow and grief from across the nation in Blacksburg, Virginia can be felt everywhere today and in the days to come.
To the families and friends of those killed at Virginia Tech, all I can say is this verse from the Book of Numbers.

Jackie Robinson 42
Today may be Friday and the weekend may be coming up but I have a little bit of work to do. Still, I decided to bring up the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's debut as the first African-American in Major League Baseball. I had no idea about this until I saw "World News with Charles Gibson" featuring Jackie as their "Person of the Week." He truly deserves that and this is that report. If you haven't read the book Jackie Robinson and the Year of the Boar, do so.
Be sure to watch that World News report; it was great and was relevant to the recent Don Imus mess.
Have a good evening and a great weekend...

Lot's of updates/Seattle afternoon
In the News:
The British sailors taken captive by the Iranians spoke out today and talked about their "confessions" which were actually forced statements. Now the Iranians are saying the words spoken today by the British sailors were dictated. Hmph... What do the Iranians who took the British sailors think? We're not stupid. On the same subject, I think about what I would do if the same thing that happened to the sailors happened to me. Would I outright refuse to lie or would I go along with the captors and do what they say? And somehow, I think of Johnny English and the exciting scene in Westminster Abbey.
Anyways...
Here are some videos of things being talked about on the 'Net. First is Bill O'Reilly and his very fiery and angry shouting match with his colleague Geraldo Rivera on Bill's show in FOX "News" or "Faux Noise". They were fighting over the causes and faults in the story of a drunken illegal alien that killed a young girl.
Now this next video is of a guy bowling with and spinning a ball spare, if that's what it's called:
Finally are two NBC News reports, this first one from the Today Show. The last video is a great report from NBC Nightly News about the American Idol "Sanjaya phenomenon."
Speaking of this Sanjaya phenomenon, this is a joke from Jimmy Kimmel on "Jimmy Kimmel Live":
It's TGIF and a wonderful sunny afternoon in Seattle with the current temp. at 77°F.

outrage about this. Some people are saying it’s because of a website that
encourages people to vote for the worst singer, and I hope not. I don't like
that. This is not a joke. We are voting for American Idol here... I mean, I
know it was funny when we re-elected President Bush, but this is serious."

i'm Making A Difference
I just recently found out about this new "initiative" by Windows Live Messenger. It's called "i'm Making A Difference" and its goal is to help several organizations through the support of Live Messenger users. All you have to do is put the code in your display name and you're helping the American Red Cross, Susan G. Komen For the Cure, and other great organizations. I'm doing this and it's just cool. You can learn more here: http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/Home/

Feeling Sober (as in sad)
Once again, I am quite sorry that we (I) haven't posted in quite a while. (I mean seriously, my colleagues) Anyways, yesterday on the Today Show, the Teletubbies crew made an appearance. I thought it was rather interesting so here's a video.
When you were a small, little kid, did you ever make an imaginary spaceship that took you to the moon? Well I was taking out the trash and when I looked in the recycle bin, I saw my cardboard spaceship my brother and I made together. We made it out of a Gateway computer box and painted green spots here and there and rightly called it "the CowJumper." I think it had something to do with the cow that jumped over the moon and since Gateway boxes were white with black spots, like cows. Farewell dear spaceship. I had fond memories of traveling to the moon and meeting strange and funny creatures there. So that ends an era of space travel to the moon for my brother and I.
Also on a sober note, (I don't know if I should be talking about this). Have you ever been able to know your great-grandmother? I have known my great-grandmother.
You see, I'm from New York and I have a lot of relatives there and in the Philippines. Hmm, haven't told you I'm a New Yorker. Anyways, I've visited her in both places. And now, well... : (
She passed away a week or two ago. May God bless her.

Just because this is about math and science does not make me a nerd
Well earlier this evening, I was watching "World News with Charles Gibson" (awesome show!). And I learned something new. We all know that Mount Everest is the highest point on earth relative to sea level. But did you know, that the point on earth that is closest to the heavens is believed to be Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador. Mount Chimborazo, an inactive volcano, is the reportedly the farthest point from the center of the earth. This is because of the planet Earth's equatorial bulge, a term that explains the bulge at the equator. Earth is an "oblate spheroid." Or an "oblique speroid," which basically means it's fatter around the middle than it's tall. Okay here's a video of that from ABC News.
Since I'm talking about science and math stuff, I might as well tell about something else I've learned that's in that area.
On Wikipedia, there's this article about how .999... non-terminating, is the same as the number 1. Now I always thought .999...non-terminating was just that. The article showed proof, and this one fraction proof went like this:
.333...non-terminating is equal to 1/3. 1/3 multiplied but 3 is equal to
[3 times 1] /[3]. And that equals 1.
I sort of get that but this new idea made me think:
1 divided by 9 is .111...non-terminating, 2 divided by 9 is .222...non-terminating, and so forth. So then 8 divided by 9 is .888...non-terminating, but what is 9 divided by 9? 9 divided by 9 is 1. 9 divided by 9 is 1 (ONE) and not .999...non-terminating!
Now I'm not sure if that idea has been used before; I'm sure it has.
That's it for now.
Later...non-terminating
