NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This is not working well! I've been under tremendous pressure since I started 2011. I'm in pressure with my CS128 project - since I haven't started with coding with the system yet; still defining those functions and constructing those diagrams. I CAN'T SLEEP WELL! So this less sleep, more fatigue gets me in the way of succeeding this project. I don't know how to come up with it. And with my ENG 10 paper, I have to define my variables for my research and do my best to conduct the surveys I'm intending to do. I CAN'T SLEEP WELL!!! Oh, the PRESSURE. Oh, the FATIGUE. Oh, the PRESSURE. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. How will I stop this menace?  KENNETH

I've been watching CNN International for the past 4 years, and what a beautiful 4 years it has been for the world's leading 24-hour news channel. However, many are still ranting about the slow and painful revamp that this network took into their brains. Come to think of it, the CNN of 2006-2008 has been called by many CNN enthusiasts to be the "golden age" because of its very comprehensive and innovative aesthetics. The images, sets and graphics you see are very linear, clear, bright and fresh, just like any contemporary design of today. The overall look was unobtrusive; it did not distract me from the picture, the video and the anchor .   This is your brain. Anjali Rao is so beautiful here. I wanna glue to the TV all mornin'. As days pass the 2008-2009 look of CNN became too much blue and red. Yes, BLUE and RED. The graphics of the studios became too dark and depressing. Like, would you wake up just to see something gloomy and boring in the morning on C...

I dream... Talking to the camera... Giving the latest headlines around the world... The CNNI Atlanta Studio (from CNNFan.org) Testing... testing... "On cue at 3...2...1... ...Go!" "Hello everyone I'm /* insert my name here */ , and here are the headlines for this hour..." Regular headlines, breaking news, just in, happening now... The fast pace of news. Yes. I'll continue making people glue to the news when I feel I wanna make them informed. Hopefully. But news has become a product rather than a service. It lost its essence. It has become a venue of entertainment rather than information. Sorry big channels. You made news too sensational. You grab feelings but not thoughts. Where are you now, headlines? When will you come back... in the top of the hour? KENNETH

Oh, even if it's a few days before the 2010 Presidential Elections, I'M STILL UNDECIDED WHOM TO VOTE FOR . Really. With every issue cooking up the political pot every single day passing before the elections, I am confused like a turning top which twirls in a random manner. :-( What prexy color should I take? YELLOW? ORANGE? GREEN? What mayoral color should I take? GREEN - RED ? YELLOW - BLUE ? I still don't know!!! This will still take the whole weekend. I know. God will reveal it to me. KENNETH
