what's becoming?

it's been another long night at the office.. Yes, i need to blog.

`O dear~ i fear i gotta say, just what is becoming of our time?
first of all, it was a really hazy night tonight. not that i'd notice during the day being bogged down at the office the whole day(s)... but tonite, while driving home from work ten-ish...

yup i know it's somewhat obvious that this was from my camera phone while drivin'.. but really, these are not the usual qualities that i'd get when i shoot using my phone! at least not on a gud, fine day! So, well, yea folks,... i guess the haze is back...

darn-darn yeah? it all even looked kinda surreal, with those street lamps aglow with some kinda halo effect around 'em... and the roads in front were really a tad foggy to see.. except of course, they aren't fog.. but haze.. =S

and to make matters worse.. just read from the star online that the H1N1 is now officially declared a level 6 pandemic by the WHO. gosh... gotta admit that i was one of those guilty of thinking that the whole issue might be dying down soon. uh-huh... so wrong, BIG TIME!

and i thought only those close to the states were in big issue ... but , gulp!.. the latest 2 confirmed on our tanahair had in fact, came back from places like Australia and the Philippines! that's like (sound the alarm!!) countries at our side of the globe!! asia!!

sigh-sigh... as if the current economic slump is not enuff for us to bear with, it's issues like these pandemic things that really catch us off guard.

doesn't sound that absurd anymore now, when i come to think back of those exaggerative movie plots where the whole world gets infected with some bio-weapons overnite.. Uhm, given the speed of how things are moving now - the frequency of inter-continental flights and travelling; the rate of flu-jumps from human to human, animals to humans and vice versa (u nvr know), it all goes back to suggest how nothing is impossible anymore (not entirely used in the right context here, but still...) Does it baffle us anymore then? how entire populations of ancient civilizations get wiped out overnite without a trace?

come to think of it, we're not that 'not-ancient' after all too, no?
gettin' drowsy.. that'd be all for now... =.=

another itch scratched...
