According to Wikipedia:
RUTH JOAN BADER GINSBURG
She's an ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT of U.S. A. .The only w oman on the nation's highest court and one of its most consistent liberal voices. She's one of the eight(8) Associa te Justices in the United State Supreme Court- which is being lead b y the Chief Justice. As what we know that the Supreme Court is the highest judicial body of the United States of America. She is also the first Jewish woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Ginsburg has been the court's lone female Justice after O'Connor's retirement in 2006(the latter line is in complement from Wikipedia). This woman amazed me of her achievement and success when it comes to education and career. The sad news is as we(me and my husband) watched the news lately, it has been said that she has been into surgery today for pancreas cancer. In a statement, the court announced that Ginsburg, 75, underwent surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York for removal of a cancerous tumor from her pancreas. The court said: "Justice Ginsburg had no symptoms prior to the incidental discovery of the lesion during a routine annual check-up in late January at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. A Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) Scan revealed a small tumor, approximately 1 (centimeter) across, in the center of the pancreas.
Born June 30, 1985) is an American Swimmer. He has won 14 career Olympic Gold Medals, the most by any Olympian. By the end of 2008, he held seven world records in swimming. Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics with the eight golds he won at the 2008 Olympic Games. Overall, Phelps has won 16 Olympic medals: six(6)golds and two(2) bronze, and eight(8) golds at Beijing in 2008. The sad thing is he was being caught of smoking pot(weed or marijuana). He was also being caught and held of DUI(Driving Under Influence) some years ago and apologized. More of this next time friends.. Lab yah! Have a nice day! muahh.. (~_~)'

My husband has an old-school attitude especially in technology. He just like what he has as long as it is of clear view and it has lots of channel to be viewed especially sports, news and current events, and military channel. The day before yesterday, our television just suddenly got shut off we don't know what happened- the only clear is it was the television itself- it's not the electric current nor the cable, so it's really the main stuff. I still remember at Christmas that he wanted to buy a new one- you know we can have a good deal during holidays and some kind of blah blah that time. I just told him twice for the month will end already for January that maybe he forgot, am also excited to have a flat screen and a big lcd screen.. lol.. (~_~). Well, it didn't worked 'til the day that the stuff got shut off as I said earlier. hahahah.. He just used the other television of 20 inches(from the living room) and he can't bear to watch in a very small screen, so the next day (that was yesterday) he purchased immediately with me together with my school stuffs. So, now we have that television on the picture of 31.5 inches flat screen (it's not so very big though but good for our bedroom compared to that old 26"). But I tell you, it's very clear when its small when it's day time and there's a light but still it's more on advantage when it's big flat screen. Moreover, I can watch more on sports especially basketball, football, hockey, and baseball that we enjoy together. As well as the news and current events, Crime Scene Investigation, drama, and history series of the Kingdom of the Wind, and etc. that again- we enjoyed to watch together. Well then, happy viewing folks!

Today Jan. 20, 2009 is the Inauguration Day of the President-elect Barack Obama. A historic event in which people not just only the citizen, nationals, the people who lives in the Country of America but the people around the world. As what we have knew that America plays the biggest role in United Nations and that makes this famous, as I said around the globe. Hours from now, he will step on at the United States Capitol to be proclaimed as the 44th President of the United States. And this is what am waiting for. It's pretty amazing how the history enriches each of our lives, I mean witnessing this coming Inauguration Day later, even if am just on watching tv- am still proud of it. We have not got into lots of hopes but full. This is what the promise of soon-to-be inaugurated president Barack Obama. Anyway, what I am just saying is we will have to watch the Inauguration Day later for we are one as a nation. Happy viewing, hearing, watching as well as clapping in honor of the to-be-proclaimed President soon. Have a nice Day...

It was yesterday (January 19 as 3rd Monday of the month) that we honor the 24th Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (it was first observed on January 1986 though it was first observed by all 50 states by year 2000). As what we have know, he was a preacher or a clergy man who was fighting for the equal civil rights of every people in the community of the United States of America. He was an African-American clergyman who advocated social change through non-violent means. A powerful speaker and a man of great spiritual strength, he shaped the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. And today, is the continued patronage for him for this is one of what he likes to have, I mean what he's fighting for that makes him a famous and an honorable person- exercising civil rights as I have said earlier. That everybody irregardless of race, skin/color, sex, religion/religious creed, national origin, ancestry, marital status, etc. shall receive an equal treatment and consideration (look in Wikipedia for more information). Today following yesterday is the Inauguration of the 44th President and the First American-African President. This is really history. And the soon-to-be inaugurated is making a history too (as he is the First African-American President). So, kudos Martin Luther King, Jr.! We are one as a nation and everybody is involve not only black and white but everybody.
