Back off!

We are ending this decade at a bitter note. The economy is being hit by the worse crisis since the Great Depression. Everyone is feeling the effects of the crumbling economy. Food prices are higher, gas prices are erratic, and everything just cost more. Though it is not that quite visible or feel-able (yet) for us in M'sia, it's not such a bad idea to start being more conscious and to start screening your purchases.

Another bitterness to add on the already bitter end of this decade would definitely the inhumane invasion of gaza by the israelis. It's such a horrific experience reading it from the papers, even more dreadful to watch those gruesome and horrendous pictures next to the stories.

A lot of boycott campaigns have been going around in lieu to this monstrous act from the israelis. Recently, i've got this sms from a friend of mine on the list of items/products to boycott. My heart almost sank when i found that nestle, disney n mcd made the list...even starbucks too! its easier for many to boycott those other stuffs like maybelline, revlon, lancome, perrier, clinique (which i stopped using as it didn't really made any difference to my skin..)..but nestle? my family only eat cereal made by them! we hated kelloggs n d others..urggg..and starbucks too? darn it!! will old town cafe's hazelnut blended a good substitute to frappucino...well maybe so..

I'm not really sure how this boycott thing is ever gonna affect anything though they said it's better to at least start from something so small rather than nothing at all..but still i dont really agree with the idea of boycotting the usa...there are millions of nice people n stuffs there n doesnt mean tat when their president is a total wacko, therefore the whole nation is too...like everyone else, we hope something better would take place after the inaugural with the better looking obama..hopefully by miracle the sadist israelis will just get the message n just back off!
