I believe you all have heard of it. According to the Mayan calendar, &lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;the world is going to end at 2012&lt;/span&gt;. The Mayan calendar ends at 2012. It may obviously show that the Mayans know something that we don't. What could it be? I do not dare to even think bout it. It's kind of sad though, for me to have only enjoyed my life for ten and more years (I am not going to reveal my age!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also beliefs of netizens that &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Planet Nibiru &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;, a planet that was &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;also known as Planet X&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;will collide with Earth in a few years time, on December 21st, 2012&lt;/span&gt;. The planet was first spotted by people who were living around Iran and Iraq 6000 years ago. She orbits across the eight planets in the Solar System, and will need 3600 years to make one revolution. It was also known that &lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;the planet can be spotted from the South Pole with the naked eye&lt;/span&gt; (If you are giggling, stop it, childish.). In response to the popular rumour, a representative from NASA has stood up and clarified that &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;there is no such thing as Planet Nibiru&lt;/span&gt; and that &lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;everything on the Internet is false&lt;/span&gt;. Also, the representative has pointed out that the end of the Mayan calendar may not be the end of the world. It may be just like our calendar, where it ends at the last day of the year, and you will have to change a new one. It may be the start of a new year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The head of the Astronomy Club of Singapore has also stated that &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;the details were not even logical&lt;/span&gt;. You see, every year, there are rumours on the web that around August, Mars, which is the nearest planet to Earth, can be seen in the sky, similar to the size of the Moon. But it has never happened before!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scientists have also said that they have not heard of any planet of Niribu. Hmm...seems that &lt;span style="color:#cc9933;"&gt;the web rumour is considered as fake now&lt;/span&gt;. Out! Anyway, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;scientists have proven that it is impossible for Earth to explode, disappear or even end. &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Even if it will, we wouldn't know when.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then again, even if the world is going to end very soon, &lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt;we must remain optimistic&lt;/span&gt;. Live life to the fullest and enjoy things while they last. Tresure every moment. You know that you have not much time left. &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;How do you remain optimistic?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Send in your views and thoughts to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:talklikesiao@hotmail.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;talklikesiao@hotmail.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;. You may also leave a short note at the tagbox. Bye!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Till we meet again......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Y&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;u&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;r&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66cccc;"&gt;a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ccccff;"&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;u&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffccff;"&gt;y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;Thy Ultimate HY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4320836117759626482-6008169298840034688?l=talklikesiao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://talklikesiao.blogspot.com/feeds/6008169298840034688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://talklikesiao.blogspot.com/2009/10/end-of-world-and-optimism.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4320836117759626482/posts/default/6008169298840034688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4320836117759626482/posts/default/6008169298840034688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://talklikesiao.blogspot.com/2009/10/end-of-world-and-optimism.html' title='The End Of The World And Optimism'/><author><name>talk like siao</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09953425515769959273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_42cSxShG01s/SqJqhP1ZACI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ZKoYzi1CaMk/S220/red+bear.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320836117759626482.post-9161728220980931494</id><published>2009-09-04T01:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-06T23:44:13.492-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Envy, one of the seven deadly sin?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Hey hey hey!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Hi friends!!

Some might even go to inhuman extremes just because they are envious! Of course, I have to admit that I do get envious sometimes but then, I will then question myself, "What for?" Also, please do not forget that ENVY and JEALOUSY is 2 completely different things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;envy&lt;/strong&gt;:painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;jealousy:&lt;/strong&gt; 1.a jealous disposition, attitude, or feeling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;                      2. zealous vigilance&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I get envious so many times that it is IMPOSSIBLE to count!&lt;/span&gt; Especially of my little sister.
