Cosplay

haha these few days are looking on picture of cosplayers.. Some of their costumes are really amazing... Some really seem to be look alike as those anime characters. Here are some photos that think are nice and cool...


FF7 Advent Children - Tifa ( out of many i think this one looks most alike, what do you think?)


FF7 Advent Children- Cloud (the cosplayer is a girl.. looks cool)


Bleach - Ulquiorra ( i like the way the photo was taken and the lighting)


Naruto - Neji (the eye is cool~)


FF 10 - Yuna (I am amazed with all the costumes)

will post up more nice one next time

One comes after another

While nothing is yet settled in Myanmar, China was hit by earthquakes yesterday... another thousands of people lost their lives (up to 60,000 people are dead or missing from the cyclone in Myanmar)... Another natural disaster... Lives are so fragile...

Why Myanmar government does not want to open up?

It has been a week after the devastating cyclone. US has warned that up to 100,000 could have perished. Why Myanmar government does not want to receive aids from other countries? I'm not really sure what is the government is thinking but i think their action is very irresponsible. Their refusal in allowing aids is putting their people's lives at stake.

Currently, the most concerned issue should be the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Should the disease started to spread, more lives will be lost. Hopefully the government will come to a right decision.


Cyclone Nargis

Natural Disaster - Cyclone in Myanmar

Initially, never thought of the cyclone in Myanmar to be so devastating... First day, heard the news about less than hundred of death toll.. Then next day the death toll raised to thousands over.. Today raises to 20,000 plus of death toll... Humans are vulnerable when encountering natural disasters which are unavoidable... We are not able to prevent it but what we are able to do is to minimize the impact of the natural disasters. However, sometimes human activities are the culprits of intensifying the impact.. Take this Myanmar cyclone as an example. News had reported that the possible high number of death toll was partly due to the destruction of mangrove forests which used to act as a buffer from the sea. The absence of these forests result the people to be more directly affected from the cyclone. Why the destruction of mangrove forests? --> to make room for human activities...

Let's hope that this to be over soon....
