This is the fandom where I belong

There is a group called Girls generation

that first caught my attention

it first started with an admiration

that soon led to an addiction

I like to call myself a S♥NE

I consider the PINK OCEAN as my home

I really don’t know what their lyrics are trying to say

but the melody is enough to complete my day

I admire the way they sing

I admire the way they dance

the power of 9 is merely the source

of my existence and force

The maknae, A prankster and a great dancer

A princess, a mushroom, a dorky leader

An alligator, a shikshin, and an aegyo master 

Those nine girls will be in my heart forever.

 

§  S♥NE is girlsgeneration fans/fanclub name.

Their color is hot pink.SNSD themselves are also called SOSHI/Girls generation or GG. PINK OCEAN refers to the pink lightsticks in the audience that fans put on when SNSD if performing and even in their concerts. Since the only thing you could see in the crowd is the color pink from the lightsticks its called PINK OCEAN

§  They are composed of nine members 

Seohyun- she is the “Maknae” ( a Korean term for youngest)

Yuri- she like playing pranks on other members

Hyoyeon- she is the “dancing queen” of the group

Tiffany- she was called mushroom because she miss-pronounced her title "Boseuk Boda Bitnaneun" (Brighter Than Mushroom), she pronounced it as Boseut (mushroom) rather than Boseuk (gems). So the fans called her mushroom since then. She even recieved tons of mushroom from the fans

Jessica- she is considered as an ice princess because of her cold personality

Yoona- she is the face of the group and has that “alligator like” laugh

Taeyeon- she is the leader since she was the oldest and also a very dorky one

Sooyoung- she is a “shikshin” (a Korean word for a person who eats so much) and also the tallest member

Sunny- the shortest member and called as the “aegyo master”  (aegyo is like when a girl, or boy, acts in a cute manner)

Ecological crisis: Can something still be done?

Everything has its own end, as well as our earth; the destruction of our environment is now widely known. So many wake up calls had been already made but…guess what still nothing happens. The nature itself had alarmed us with the possibilities that might or will happen in the future if we continue these misbehaviors. The actions made were still not enough.

For me it is still not too late for remedies. There is hope as long as we have the will to live. The preventive actions of some organizations were quite good but we still need more effort and unity in every step of the way. We need to dedicate more for our mother nature. Sacrifice is also one of the key to success.

I think our earth will come to its end someday as well as other living things. In the other hand we can still elongate its life by simply doing “GREEN” practices. Especially those young people because we are the ones who were next in line.

 And because I love our environment so much I have tips on how to save it ♥      

HOME

1. STOP Vampire Electricity Leaching is responsible for 10% of your electric bill. Keep that 10% for yourself by unplugging unused appliances and electronics when not in use (ie: toasters, hairdryers, printers, electric toothbrushes, dust busters, cell phone chargers, coffee grinders, etc).

BATHROOM

2. Shorten your Showers. Every minute spent in the shower wastes approx 2.5 gallons of water. Cut your showers down from 10 minutes to the recommended 4 and cut your monthly water waste from 750 gallons to 300 gallons. Don’t forget that using less water means spending less on your water bill! 

5. Store Leftovers in Glass Containers. About 48 million tons of food is tossed each year. It is estimated that as much as $31 billion worth of perfectly good food finds its way to landfills instead of your (and every other American’s) stomach. Boxing leftovers in glass (instead of plastic) containers will help minimize the waste and save money.

LAUNDRY ROOM

6. Wash only full loads of laundry to save between 300 and 800 gallons of water a month.

YARD

7. Plant Trees or Support Tree Planting. One single mature tree can absorb as much as 48 lbs of carbon dioxide each year and release enough clean oxygen into the atmosphere to sustain two people for a lifetime. 

GYM

8. Green your Exercise Routine. You actually burn more calories and save electricity by getting off the treadmill and taking your workout outside thanks to natural (even if minimal) inclines and declines. More than changing your angle, when you are on the treadmill you have an electrically propelled belt pushing you forward. No treadmill but want to workout inside? Do a QuickieWorkout in Bed ! Outside, you’ve got no belt so you have to work harder for every step. Just think of all of the money you will save by cancelling your gym membership! 

OFFICE

9. Save Paper-The average office employee goes through 10,000 sheets of paper a year- the same amount of paper that one tree produces. If you have an office of 200 employees, there’s a good chance your company kills 200 trees a year. Save virgin paper by choosing recycled stock, them implement these printing procedures: 10. *$-Decrease your Margins. You don’t need an empty inch and a half on either side of a document. For multiple page documents, decreasing your margins will reduce your page count and save paper.

EXTRA CREDIT

10.CELEBRATE Earth Day by Drinking Organic Wine! According to a recently released report, wine and table grapes are charged with expending more agricultural chemicals (nearly 60 million pounds per year) than any other crop in California. Need even more reason to drink organic? Organic wine has fewer sulfates in the red wine- which translates to less wine headaches.

A comic relief ending of Romeo and Juliet

      In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for Romeo and Juliet. Revenge, love, and a secret marriage force the young star-crossed lovers to grow up quickly — and fate causes them to commit suicide in despair. Contrast and conflict are running themes throughout Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet — one of the Bard's most popular romantic tragedies. But what will happen if the ending of this play will be the total opposite?

      I may not be as legendary or great as Shakespeare when it comes to writing but I will try to manipulate the story to give it a funny ending. I will start the twist with the scene Romeo bought a poison. The apothecary was so nice that he can’t let a young lad die so he will just give Romeo a bottle of water without Romeo knowing about this he continues on. On the Capulet tomb he will encounter Paris but he will pretend as a maintenance staff and tells a lie that he was there for a cleaning service.So Paris will go away, on his way home he realizes that he can still marry some other woman keeping in mind that he is masculine and handsome enough. While Romeo was there he told his final words and drunk all the poison. After few minutes he wondered why he was still alive and sobs. At that moment Juliet awakened and was so glad to find Romeo beside her. They were so happy and hugged each other.

      Friar Lawrence came and was so surprised. Then the Capulets came in crying they were so surprised with what they saw, they were so angry with Romeo at that time but Friar Lawrence came up with an idea he invented a very nice story telling that Romeo was the one who revived Juliet, because of too much happiness the Capulet thanked Romeo for bringing their only child back to life. The feud ended and as a reward they forced Juliet to marry Romeo not knowing that they were really in love with each other.

That was my own version of ending Romeo and Juliet in Comic Relief style.
