Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

New browser

I finally downloaded a new browser because my IE simply don't click with friendster - all IE windows close everytime I try to click on something in friendster.

My new browser is Opera, chose this one over Firefox because the installation file is smaller. So far so good, and now I'm clicking away in friendster after half a year not logging in. Need some time to update myself with the features though... trying to search for complete list of blogs of people in my friendster list. Or do I need to click one by one?

Noticed how people had changed from their pictures. Used to love clicking on their contacts to see if I know anyone, back when I was with some small organizations with internet access.
