"Meta se nikbru"


Although the title is in Maltese I will be writing this article in English. Actually the title means "When will we grow up ?". I took this as a quote from a local tv series "Fredu l-Fra" cause I think ti fits perfectly in this case. Have a look here http://www.maltastar.com/pages/msfullart.asp?an=8239 I think that all those involved in the harassment should be punsihed accordingly. From experience I can say that such experiences really destroy a person, however I do not understand the psychology behind bullying. I do not know maybe the bully wants fame and respect from his friends by doing such acts ? I think that such students should not even be called students. Firstly because I cannot imagine them at any workplace after they finish their course and secondly a student is part of society's pool of knowledge and well such persons really should not be part of it. The videos have been deleted by the user from http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=is+sigra but hehe they are now already in the law trap. Enjoy being popular for a few days or weeks , now your life is ruined together with your police conduct.

.:.Update.:.

http://www.maltastar.com/pages/msfullart.asp?an=8278. Check this new update regarding the case, hehe as I thought they said that it was a joke. Well as indicated in the article what has been done is done it cannot be changed. In Maltese we say "Ghall maghmul m'hemmx kunsill", also excuse me if I spelled something wrong but unfortuantely my Maltese spelling is not perfect.
.:. Update 2.:.
http://www.maltastar.com/pages/msfullart.asp?an=8316. Check this new update regarding the case. They were given one month prison suspended to a year. The person who carried with him a small knife was also given a fine of LM50 which in my opinion is nothing. I think that this fien should have been at least LM200 so as to give him a nice thing to joke about and publish on the internet. Also I would have added some hours as community work. With such cases I think that you have to be severe

Back from Austria !!

Well, for all those of you who missed me I am back. It was a really nice trip , however unfortunately I got the cold there and I was sick for almost 75% of the trip. Knowing me but , this did not set me back as I still participated in all of the activities. I had a lot of fun especially wen we went in a mountain hut, up on the mountains in the middle of a forest surrounded by large trees. I will shortly put some pics on my flickr page so I will give you an update once this is ready so you can also enjoy :)

Austria here I come


Well I can say that I have been waiting for this for all my life, the opportunity to go to Innsbruck Austria. Firstly because it was my of my ambitions to see and touch snow, well and also maybe to throw some snowballs. From the last update I had from my friends there it seems that I may finally fulfill this ambition during our mountain trip.

My friends still think that I go on this trips for nothing. Well I reply with a big NO NO NO. These are workshops where one can learn, in both projects that I am participating in I learned a lot of things. I went alone on some trips and this was a great opportunity for me to grow and be more independent. I can go and write on this subject for ages however it is not the aim of this post, we all know that reading a lot of text on a monitor is boring and bad for the eyes. However the main point I wanted to highlight is that if you get an opportunity to participate in one of these projects/exchanges , call them what you want ACCEPT IMMEDIATELY and do not throw this opportunity away.

The Malta Ghost hype & L-Imsahhra


It is quite interesting the hype that we are seeing lately in Malta. Various radio stations have programmes regarding ghosts. We also have a weekly television programme on ONE TV every Sunday evening by the name of Imsahhra ( excuse me if I spelled it wrong, kindly correct me if it the case). I have been seeing this particular programme every Sunday and still I cannot be convinced that everything is real. I am stil la bit sceptic, especially after seeing last Sunday's programme.

Well the solution is simple go with them on one of their shoots and see for yourself. I would love to go but since I did not have that opportunity I would like to continue on the above comments. A friend of mine told me " Was that meant to be scary or was it a replica of Paperissima ? as we were all loughing out loud while watching it on TV ". So my position at the moment is that I am a bit stuck, I want to believe the things they see and experience but at the same time I cannot as I did not experience the actions myself. Can anyone comment about the subject ? I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Flight Simulator X


Well for all aviation fans I invite you to prepare your PC for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator version X. I don not know why they named it X , I personally would have prepared if they continued with the traditional naming system ie: flight simulator 2002,2004 etc... For those who want to try it and get a peak at it , you can download a trial version from here

Well I did not try it yet as my pc needs a major upgrade to be able to run it so for now I am stuck with the 2004 version which is not so bad after all.
