Oh dear Gaza

A simple thought on Gaza conflict and its mediation. Currently UN has agreed to once again let Egypt act as the mediator of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Many scholars and analysts are concerned that maybe Egypt isn't the lost effective party. Not only because it hasn't presented any significant result during the mediation per se, but also the contributing factor such as politic and military status quo where Egypt will benefit so much from either Israel or/and Hamas.  Qatar, on the other hand is THEORETICALLY potential and seems to become a satisfying mediator for this conflict. Qatar is considerably not allied in any course either with Israel or Hamas or Palestine as a whole. However, learning that Qatar is always a country with such beneficial and strategical multinational relationship with other countries (especially neighbourhood of the Gulf), this country is TECHNICALLY not going to risk any military or politically loss within the mediation process.

People and the Media

Let's go back for a while to my weeks and nights in Edward Boyle and Brotherton library in Leeds. I hate myself for not remembering the names that I have quoted when I wrote analysis and critics towards the new media. But here is the thing, what happened to the media and people today are getting more and more uncontrollable and that the freedom of the information access is now inevitably super widen. I came to a thought where the people are obliged AND MUST understand how influential media are nowadays. To comprehend how the media work and how they contribute an impact to wide society, people then need to filter any information they are meaning to disseminate or retrieve. In short, you may read anything that you want; wrong, false, stupid, annoying, funny or brilliant content in media BUT to forward it and give any thoughts or concern about it IN PUBLIC requires bigger responsibility hence further consideration is necessary. There are three types of reader and forwarder; the impuls...

Yoga

Inhale exhale. That was the only two-words medicine that God gave me when I came to Him last week. After pouring all my problems, sadness and concerns, God gave me Yoga. At first, it was sour and bitter at the same time, weird I guess. Fortunately my body is familiar with the compound and can adapt easily. I consume the medicine quite regularly; He did not set up the exact time or moment like usual medication, so I just do it when I feel it's necessary. The vocabulary is "yummy" and I deliberately feel the stretch of my natural body movement and my soul, mood and flexibility are changing as I keep on consuming Yoga. It feels so greeeaatt! I really hope this medication will help me out with relaxation and I will recover pretty soon.

I will recover very quick. And I will be just fine.

I fell from uphill, the view was too beautiful I thought that I did step too close to the edge of the hill. And I fell. When I was up there, I was wondering how beautiful it was actually to be part of the beauty that I witnessed. I was also wondering how blissful it is to be a part of the scenery that I saw from above. Then I just fell. It was a long fall that in the middle of it, I managed to think of what will happen to me when I land? Will I die? Will I break any ankle or bones? Will I infinitely relieved? Will I land successfully with my both feet? Will I continue running that sweet beautiful land? Will I regret falling down? I fell anyway. I hurt both my arms and my ribs. But looking at the scenery that surrounded me, I knew I will recover quickly. And I will be just fine.
