Longest word in the world?

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

Taa -daa!! Trying saying that all in one breath. What does it mean?? Aghm (clearing throat) according to the dictionary it is a lung  disease which is caused by breathing in very fine silica dust. There was another "word" that also popped up when I was searching the topic but i do have doubts about it. I'd LOVE to hear someone saying it , snicker, but try mutter it under your breath here anyway. I shall include it here for laughing sake .

A visit to the moon

A beautiful, astounding lunar eclipse took place last night and,finally, we were in a country that would get a glimpse of the moon. Mother and i planned to stay up until the moon was completely covered, which happened to be at 11:30. I have no trouble staying up for all hours, that's just what kids do, but dad was already snoring on the couch and my eyes were feeling very droopy . Suddenly mom let out a little sigh of excitement and I rushed to the window sticking my face out into the freezing cold blustery winter night. There is was, the moon at it's fullest 1/4 of it was already taken over by a creeping shadow making it look very mystical. I had a sudden desire to rush in to a space ship and go and visit the moon my own self. I couldn't take my eyes of it, I wished it was bigger so I could see it clearer. My glasses aren't fitted for maximum zoomige. Mother wanted to take a few pictures, so did i with my new birthday camera might i add, to post on this blog. So, the coats were shoved on, fluffy hats, itchy scarves, duvet pants, gloves and any other warm materials we had in our cupboards. When i say it's cold, i mean it's cold. Maybe not Arctic cold but cold enough to make your face go numb as soon as to step out of the warmth of the heated house. At that moment, i was quite glad for Korean floor heating. We looked like a couple of weird, weirdos, and we were already strange enough to the Koreans but now we were probably the funniest things they had seen all day. The view of the moon was a little better outside but it was still to far away to marvell at it's complete beauty. I took out the binoculars dad had bought, how convenient, and tried to find the moon. After a full 7 minutes of trying to find the moon through the oversize zooming apparatus, I was ready to give up... but wait there it was, almost completely covered by the waning shadow of the sun. I did not know that much about eclipses, only the information from the websites I had read earlier to get a better understanding of them. I felt quite sad in knowing that this was to be the last elcipse until 2014, thankfully, I will still be alive ( wiping sweat).
  At precisely 11:30 I rushed ,once again, to the window to see the moon covered in a faint red, I sighed and really wished I was an astronaut. But even people wishing to be astronauts have to get some sleep so i wished the moon a good night and settled in the warmth of my sleeping bag.

A poem about a cat

The incredibly fat orange cat,
sat on the lumo pink mat,
he wore a large blue top hat,
and did nothing except catch the occasional rat.
The incredibly fat orange cat,
never has time for idle chit-chat,
and don't even think about giving him a pat,
or you'll soon feel the fat cats wrath.
The incredibly fat orange cat ,
was actually quite lonely in fact,
because having a chat,
about a rat,
while you sit on a scratchy lumo pink mat,
with a fat orange cat,
cab be quite a bore you see
why don't look at me!
You are the one who has to pat,
the incredibly fat orange cat .

Post number the Nestle

I decided to make this post on Nestle, for those of you who have no idea whats behind that Kit-Kat you're eating.


Nestle is responsible for 50% of the worlds breast milk substitute, they encourage mothers to stop breastfeeding and start bottle feeding. There are numerous studies that show children whose mother's breastfeed them are smarter and much healthier than those who were bottle fed. Being breastfed helps the baby to fight diseases better, results also show that premature babies grow faster if they are breastfed.


Nestle also owns Neastea. Nestea does many horrible, inhumane, unethical, tests on animals.According to PETA ( peta.org) these animals are decapitated, poisoned, electrically shocked, surgically mutilated and so much more. Normally these tests are carried out on rats and mice. Many people don't really care because, who likes rats anyway. WRONG! What has an innocent, small white rat ever done to harm you? Surely they did not stuff you in a dark room and force-feed you tea leaves to see your reaction. If you ask me, these test are pointless and it's unbelievably unfair to conduct them on animals that have never done anything harmful to any of us.
Then you've got the candy section of Nestle. Until recently, I didn't know half of the products manufactured by Nestle, but let me tell you, there are a LOT. And you probably don't believe me so I am going to list them for you right here. (Note, these are not just their candy products)

I don't even think that's all of it. Now look at that list. Now look at it again. Think about how many of those things you may eat every single day. So now you know all of the things Nestle produces, you may start to think what is wrong with them. Why can't you enjoy your Kit-Kat in your morning break? Or drink your Milo? Well, while you are munchy munchy on that Kit-Kat of yours, thousands of orangutans in Indonesia and other countries are being killed as their trees are being ripped down for the valuable palm oil that is used in all of Nestle's chocolates. If you have a very (and i mean very) strong stomach take a look at this video


http://vimeo.com/10236827


Please don't blame me if you have nightmares for ages after you watch that, i warned you,but it is the truth. Harsh yes, but the truth. So many of you out there may have read this but still think (dramatic voice) " I can't live without my Rolo and what about the Kit-Kat! Where would we be without those?! WHERE WOULD WE BE?!" (dramatic sigh) . Well, have I got news for you! We have lived for thousands of years without Nestle's chocolates and if we have become so dependent on those petty things that if you don't consume them we may perish,that's just very very sad.


So now you know the truth, next time you bite into a Bar One, think about the small, baby orangutan you just killed.

Unproductivenessly

Ok so is it just me or does everyone else get a warm tingly feeling whenever they open their blog and see that more people have had a looksie on it?? Well, I just got one now and I thank everyone that has looked at my blog and read a paragraph from the bottom of my heart, you inspire me to keep blogging.I had one of my brainstorms today and came up with a good post so... enjoy.


How to have a completely unproductive day


Step number the one: When your morning alarm goes off, think about getting up but don't.

Step number the two: Make a looonnnggg list of all the things you are supposed to do today, example, fix the leaky pipe under the sink, Wash the floors etc.

Step number the three: Stare at your long list for a while and think about which one not to do first.

Step number the four: Get up, walk to each room of the house, turning on the light switch in each room,then turning it off again.

Take a well earned nap

Step number the six:Make a bowl of cereal  and leave it to go soggy.

Step number the seven: Go to the phone and start punching in the numbers of your friends phone numbers, decide to meet them at the movies, as soon as they answer, hang up.

Step number the eight: Mope around the house aimlessly

Step number the nine: Go and get some beauty sleep

Well done! You have now had a miserable, unproductive, unsuccessful day.
You win the grand prize

WeEkEnD!

It's 8:30 am and all five of us are strapped up and ready to go. We push our destination into the GPS while trying to get the heating to work (it had suddenly dropped from the beautiful, sunny 24 degrees to a freezing 9). The GPS doesn't know that a whole new bridge has been built to Busan, reducing the 2 hour drive to a mere 45 mins, or so we were told. So we just decided to drive on the new bridge and follow the GPS when we got to Busan. The sun was glittering on the sea, and the trees blowing in the cold wind. I wish that I could be sitting by the window dreaming instead of being squashed between two little mokeys singing 'soft kitty warm kitty'. The new bridge takes you over the sea and under an island, the gps was freaking out and screaming "Route Recalculation". Soon it just shut up and shows our little orange-happy-days-bus driving over the ocean. We finally get off the bridge and arrive near Busan, we buy some warm chestnuts off a very energetic guy and , after ruby, river and i decide that we dislike them, mom and dad eat them all. The GPS came back to it's senses and we began following it, assuming it knew the way. We assumed wrong. The GPS took us through a wide range of district roads, tollgates and u-turns. It took us another two hours to get to our destination. And where did we land up? In an old derelict part of town with no sign of life anywhere around.Big. Fat.DOH! so we ate our sandwhiches and try to figure out the spelling of Haeundae , a beach near where we wanted to go. Of course it wasn't how we spelt it at all and when w eventually arrived at the shopping mall it was already 12 o'clock. We drove down the spiral road and into the parking lot, where the first floor was reserved for handicapped people. so we take the nearest road up, thinking it will take us to the next floor. Wong again! It just took us straight out and we had to try explain to the tollgate lady that we hadn't spent long enough in the parking lot to pay. We park and head into the shopping mall where we then go aallll the way up to the top floor and then alllllll the way down because we discover that we are actually in the wrong building altogether.
  The ice-skating rink isn't sardine-packed but packed enough to make you a bit nervous. There are kids falling left right and center. Kids swimming against the flow, kids fighting , kids on their phone while ice-skating and kids trying to take pictures of themselves in the middle of the way. Ruby gets the hang of it quickly and river  spaghetti legs could finally get off the side (with the help of mother).
After 3 hours of full on ice-skating we stumble off the ice and gulp down cups of water and slip on our shoes. We wonder around the shop and mom drags us into a apple store where we browse through all the high tec, super computers. Mom is looking at a particular computer when she pressed a certain thingy ma bop and taa daa!! Up pops a little camera that does all those funny facial morphs. One makes your eyes ginormous, another your forehead. We could have spent HOURS in front of that computer, pulling faces , and we almost did, but then an angry Korean huffed and we shuffled out of there A.S.A.P.
We strolled past all the other shops selling shoes, handbags and ice-cream!! We sat licking our cones, and walking towards the food hall, where we devoured two bowls of Korean bibimbap( a hot bowl of rice topped with assorted vegetables and a spicy tomato paste.) It was scrumptious and with a full tummy we started to head home.

Uhm.....?

Aaahhh..... The joys of being able to get up at whatever time you like, read, knit, relax. I think Saturday has to be my favourite day. I am uber excited because we have decided to go up to Busan tomorrow for Sunday, and the only thing we really go up there for is ice-skating!!!! I adore ice-skating, I'm not brilliant but I don't have to hold on the bar and I can go backwards. Mwahahaa. I guess rollerskating does help. Ice-skating feels so much smoother though, and a bit easier.
 I' m hoping to get a unicycle form mother and father for my birthday in only 12 days (!!!!) but it is quite hard to convince them. I love unicycles and how they are so odd. Behind our house we have a long strip of tar, which is covered in holes that are invisible from far away so you'll be riding along, talking to your buddy and the next thing you know you'll be on the ground face first. I think that i will be good enough before we go home that I can ride there. Anyway... I'm rambling on. Well, I'm going to get back to my do nothing, relaxing, magnificent, day :)
