Back to the Future: "SPEED"

Here are names of two movies, "Back to the Future," and "SPEED," that you are seeing in the title of this post.

I select these two movies for my thought of today.

Among these two movies, "Back to the Future" has not never been watched. Nevertheless, I like the name of it for somewhat reason. Yes. Sometimes, in order to see the future, or , to consider about the future effectively, we need to see and exam the past. Sometimes, it happens the same or very similar matters between past and future. That's why I like the name of the movie, "Back to the Future."

The other movie, which is "SPEED," was one of my favorate films. Here, what I would like to express is about one of its scenses that is in the last quarter of the story. In that quarter, you could see the "scense of stuck." The kidnapper used modern technology in order to control the view of bus-riding-ways and communication-way with authorities. After a scense is set-up by skilled technicians, the view that kidnapper is seeing only that Set-Up View, which is NOT ACTUAL VIEW.

Sometimes, we (you) are just like that - seeing the Set-Up Views - Not True or Real Views.
Since then, whenever you see a view, especially in a screen, please remember "Speed." I mean you should not consider the view, which you are seeing is exact and actual happening on the ground; it might be true or it might be set-up. We suppose to be careful with it. Otherwise, we will be lied. We will be being useful tools of those Users through out our lives under technically and strategically artiful creations.

Back to the Future: "SPEED."

Happy Birthday Your Majesty!

"If Thai people cherish this value in their hearts, the Thai nation will certainly remain safe and stable, no matter what circumstance it finds itself in.''

Climate becomes part of Globalization

This is December 4th. It is a warm morning. A while ago, it was even sunny. I took some pictures of my kids when they went to school.
Yesterday, it was warmer. Just like December days in my native village.
I made joke with my friends and family members that this is part of globalization.
Between East and West; North and South of our world, nowadays, not only we share our culture, economy, technology and politics, but also Climate.
What do you think?

Appology to Mr. President

In a post, which I made yesterday, I wrote a line as "so called President," that based upon my anger and goodwill for Mr. President. I appologise for it. But this is truly appology though...not like an American president said "sorry," when American jet-fighter bombed on Chinese embassy in Eastern Eufope a few decades ago.

What does 'President' mean? According to recent experience, "President" means "a person who read a/the speech whatever speech-writing-team write, without any checking and considering (its consequences) enough." That's what we have seen and heard.

As a (huge) leader (of a huge nation), Mr. President should check his speech, especially when you have to give in a foreign land that you really do not know its true background, history, people and geography. For one wrongly usage of a word of a president, it could create 'bloody history' in that land, for its people. For example, if Obama wrongly used a word or a line of speech during his unnecessirily rush-trip to Burma, will he take responsibility for its consequenses? I believe that he gave that speech without he really knew about history, background and people of Burma and Arakan. He just simply read it as speech-writing-team wrote.
Then, what happened? He was acting and doing those things just simply as his advisors' guidence as they wished for. He did not also simply consider what will be consequences of it. For them, they have detail plan to create things after Obama's trip. He did not think anything about - native people in that region could be in suffering, trouble and chaos.

Mr. President, if you lead our nation and the world in that way, it will obviously be that - our nation and the world will be as the way those guys want to be; but NOT the way, which American people or people of the world wish to be.

Please consider enough before you act. Please check your speech before you give as you are a big guy. Please do not follow the marble. Check and watch who throw that marble; how and why?

Thank you and have a great day!

When you know only for you, ....!

I am a poor and uneducated family man with a lovely wife and three children.
Since then, I have to work for my self-standing, for my family.
At the same time, I consider by myself that I am directly or inderectly working or serving for Arakan - which is my native land, Burma-where I grew, the United States-where we are living now and my great country, and for the world and humanity.
So, when I work for several duties, I have to think about for every side. While I was / am paying attentions and putting my energy for the United States, (for example for election), what happened for my native land, do you know? What happened for Burma, do you know? How and why?
What is happening for my children, my family, do you know? How they are being approched do you know? How about for their future?
While we are standing for ourselves, simply, honestly and individually, some other guys are trying to build or destroy the others' lives through out their net-work, with huge amount of people, money, technology and energy included.
How many of you think about for all of those widely? How many of you consider about to be balance for all of them?
None! You all know is what you want. There is no understanding! There is no realization! There is no empathy! No sympathy! No patience! All you know is what you want. From so called President to ....
Nothing more or less than that.
Then what happened for the other side/s?
Please do not forget that while you are seeing and knowing the other guys are greedy and selfish, if you are paying attention only what you want or need, you are about to become greedier or more selfish than those!
The final question is this; if you are in my place, how and what will you do / stand / act in order to accomplish for all those hardest tasks? Why?

I will take a rest!

Yesterday, while I was doing little workout, my back got a pain.

As an ordinary man, I will be taking a rest without any activity in purpose.
Please leave me alone.

Thank you and have a great day!

I will try to write more.

Because of publication, building website, and many other duties, almost I forget my blog.
As things are somewhat settling down as time goes by, I will begin to write more pages.
My another considering is to create a blog with the name of "Editor's blog" in "arakaninternational.com" website; so there will be more close connections between readers and me.
Any way, either here or on the creation blog page in the website, or on both, I will try to write more pages.
At least, I need to begin to practice English writing, especially.
Thanks!
