Debt that the British had incurred for the last decade has been astonishing $2.8 trillion or 1.4 trillion pounds, according to that New York Times article.

Spending more than one can earn is not just dangerous, its very dangerous. Being in debt is not a good. How would one pay for those debts? With used designer shoes? With foreign holidays already consumed? With used designer clothes? I don’t think so. Such is not the case.

Children have their own cellphones. People can get the latest models in tech gadget, clothes, cars and every thingamajig that comes out in the market. These things are outdated every few weeks, months. For tech gadgets, these are outdated by the time they come out of the market.

So what? So what if people get these things for themselves? If these were purchased using the plastic, then I personally don’t think its a good investment, judging by the way things change so fast. Better purchase these things in cash to avoid being indebted to these big companies where in the long run, it is not just the purchased thing is being paid for but even one’s dignity.

Mornings signal the start of a new day. Mornings give us hope and anothe chance to get a better shot at what we have to do, what we like to do and what we enjoy doing.  This morning is one morning more  special than any other morning because Christians all over the world remember the the resurrection of Jesus in Easter Sunday. That is the essence of His sacrifice, by showing us that He lives and reigns. He lived to fulfill the promise of Salvation.

Blogging is the new media. A blogger can disclose as much personal affairs as one feels comfortable doing so. Or a blogger can choose to be discreet.

A blogger can fabricate lies and weave stories he believes in his mind are true. Or just state facts and real events and people.

I have heard about political candidates who benefit most with bloggers. On the other hand, there are those who are brought down by shame and exposés through blogs.

Some bloggers are able to write with so much venom that just reading their posts leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Bloggers can talk about anything and everything in clear contexts. Or hidden undertones.

A blogger can talk about his past and future plans. Or choose not to.

Speaking of which, there are several blogging hazards that a blogger can get.

For example, Kazuyoshi Miura. He is a Japanese blogger. He blogged about going to Saipan. But when he got there, he was arrested. Why? Read the story here, here, here and here.
