Wii thoughts

Wii got a new toy for Christmas and Wii are addicted. Not a day goes by that Wii don’t play for hours, and when Wii aren’t playing on it, Wii are thinking about it and asking to play. Wii made a rule that Wii don’t play before lunch, but still, Wii ask. Wii have a lot of fun, but Wii fight more and insult each other more and don’t play fairly. Was it really worth it?

Shouldn’t Wii be spending our time in more productive ways? What are Wii gaining by playing so much? Will employers be impressed if Wii list ‘finished all eight levels of Super Mario Bros’ or ‘won the virtual decathlon championships’ on our resumes? Wii don’t think so. And once summer break is over, Wii will limit our playing time to weekends only. And hopefully Wii will return to our manners, thinking of others before ourselves, being polite and considerate, and focused on what matters more – real life rather than the virtual world.

dealing with sadness

Today I'm sad. I sent an email to a friend telling her some news, and she skyped me, telling me that she cried when she heard the news. I cried myself, thinking of how sad she was, and also how sad I am that soon we won't live near each other. We had to take a trip to the capital and turns out we were in her neighborhood, only blocks from her house. Unfortunate then, that she is currently out of the country!
I was thinking about how special our friendship has been, now it took us years to find out that we lived in the same country (we were at college together), and how we picked up as if we had never been separated for almost 15 years. God has always provided friends for me, and will continue to do so. But that doesn't make saying good bye to good friends any easier.
