24th December.

Woot~! Will be out with SKY today. Honestly, I've never been so excited like this for a long long long time.

Christmas this year will definitely be something to remember. Then there's Ubin tomorrow! How fun can that be?

I'm still thinking of where we shall have dinner tonight.

But some things will be hard to forget. No matter how many times, and how many ways that your heart is broken, you'll always forgive the people you love.

You Give me Wings - Hady Mirza
[The Asian Idol]

Sometimes it’s hard just to be yourself
I know you know
So close to tears wanting to give up
I felt all alone.....

But now you’re here right by my side
And I just want you to know

You give me wings when I’m falling
You lift me up when I’m down
Taking me high touching the sky
Yeah,you make me fly...

Now I am stronger than I was before
Because of you
I feel so alive and I’m wanting more
I can’t believe it's true
and now you're here,right by my side
Don’t ever let me go.....

You give me wings when I’m falling
You lift me up when I’m down
Taking me high touching the sky
yeah,you make me fly...

Ooo baby, woah wooah
Come fly away with me.....

You give me wings when I’m falling
That’s why I’m saying to you
Whoa...

You give me wings when I’m falling
When I'm falling
You lift me up when I’m down
When I'm down
Taking me high
taking me high
Touching the sky
touching the sky
yeah,you make me
You make me fly.....

You give me wings when I'm falling
Whooa yeah
You lift me up when I'm down
When I'm down
Taking me high
Taking me high
Touching the sky
Touching the sky
yeah,you make me
You make me fly.....

you give me wings

A few minutes ago, an very interesting current affairs show was on TV. Nevermind what the details were, but it was discussing the discrimination of AIDS patients.

It mentions that the discrimination of AIDS patients is still vey rampant, within the community, as well as families of these patients. Of course, it was mentioning 101 reasons WHY these patients should be helped into integrating back into the society, and even mentioned that religious groups should get into the act, to support the rehabilitation of these AIDS patients.

My View?

The main reason that AIDS patients are discriminated against in the first place, is fear. Remember the time that SARS new to the world? Everyone who coughed, or sneexed, was doubted and deemed to have ocntracted the virus. LIkewise, those who's body temperature exceeded 37.5 degrees celsius were 'forced' to go home and stay home, with entire femalies being quarantined. Is this fear rational? [note: Fear itself is irrational.]

Likewise, AIDS was first recorded in the early 1980's and about 30 years later, there is still no cure. AIDS is not hereditary, and the virus is ACQUIRED - that's what 'A' in AIDS is for. It is not surprising that it is believed that AIDS was probably around since the mid-1960's, but at that time, no one gave much thought for it.

A little history on AIDS [don't quote me]. AIDS is a primate virus, which did not spread to humans until a South American dude decided to F*** a monkey, a gorilla to be exact. Why any man would want to copulate with a Gorilla is beyond me. Interestingly, it spread to Africa, deepest Africa. How it got to the most remote parts of the world is also beyond me. Could it be that a white male explorer decided to mate with the locals when he explored and documented on the ways of life in Africa?

Now AIDS has spread throughout the world. I don't know how, and I can't understand why. AIDS is in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, the United States, the Middle East, Russia, large parts of Europe, Macedona, Macadamia, wherever.

Now, back to the topic, why is there discrimination? This discrimination is a result of prejudice, which is a resultant of certain stereotypes. [ref to diagram below]



Why also do we discriminate? IT is because of a sense of fear that we have for the unknown. Fear of the unknown is a irrational kind of fear. if you don't know waht you are afraid of, how can you be araid of something?

Common misinterpreted misconceptions:
AIDS can't spread through phisical contact: AIDS can be spread this way. It is spread through the exchange of bodily fluids of an infected person, like blood, semen, vaginal fluid etc. Honestly, when you shake hands, or hug someone, you don't know where those hands have been.
Protection protects you from AIDS: WRONG! Before sex, there's foreplay. Everything goes everywhere, with helmet or not. There's a point in time that love-making does turn nasty and lusty. 'Nuff said.
AIDS patients disclose the fact that they have AIDS to their partners: Right, and it's goodbye to the pleasurehole.

Think about it. The 'discriminated' wants concessions to feel that they are on par. Special treatment in a way, don't you think?

The paradox.

PS: I have nothing against, or for AIDS patients. I feel that they are individuals with as much freedom to express their needs and wants as any other human.
