Lookalike





















TheBoyfriend looks suspiciously like Jong Tae Se, N.Korea's star forward player.
I always said he looks Korean-ish anyways. (He was actually born in Japan to S.Korean parents says some sources.)

Cannot take it.

Chanced upon an inspiring site today. Somedays I wake up and it seems that there are little bitty bits of new spirits rising to take out the 'ghosts of the (recent)past.' And there's no time or place for lingering moments or emotional checks, not until we read something that makes us pause and think. Here's a few:

*GMH = Gives Me Hope

21 years ago, a pregnant woman, Carla, went to a doctor who told her that her baby would have mental illnesses and possibly Down Syndrome.

This doctor heavily encouraged her to have an abortion but she refused.

I will be a perfectly normal 21 year old in August.

My mom ALWAYS GMH.

To the girl at the gym who said she wouldn't get a prom date because she was too "fat":

My friends and I were lifting weights nearby to try to impress you. Don't ever think that all guys see is your weight. We thought you were gorgeous.

The fact that you will realize that one day GMH.

Today, our history teacher was telling us about a man who was famous for transporting Jews to safety during the Holocaust.

A student in the class said "That's my grandfather."

Our teacher began to cry, and said "He saved my entire family."

Beautiful coincidences GMH

I woke up one morning to hear the birds outside my window and my mother cooking breakfast downstairs. I've never cried so much in my entire life. I had been deaf since the age of 8.

Five years ago, I witnessed an overweight girl being harassed. A group of "popular girls" had pulled down her pants while we were leaving school. The girl grabbed her pants and ran away crying. Our school's star quarterback chased after her to comfort her.

I just came back from their wedding. GMH.

A 74 year old man has an rare antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia.

He has donated plasma almost 1000 times since he was 18 years old. He has saved an estimated 2.2 million babies so far.

James Harrison, you GMH.
