SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD: Phones of Passengers in Missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH 370 are RINGING?

Missing Flight

 

Even though search has intensified, nothing concrete has been found in relation to Malaysian Airlines Flight MH 370 that disappeared on Saturday while carrying 239 passengers. Today, it is being reported that, some relatives who have been calling the cell phones of their loved ones claim the phones are RINGING…

According to the Washington Post, family of some of the 239 people on board the vanished Boeing 777 said that they were getting ring tones and could see them active online through a Chinese social networking service called QQ.

One man said that the QQ account of his brother-in-law showed him as online, but frustratingly for those waiting desperately for any news, messages sent have gone unanswered and the calls have not been picked up.

This new eerie development comes as the Malaysian authorities said they had identified one of the men on two stolen European passports who were on the flight – and that he was not considered likely to be a terrorist…

Light Skin Rules Because All The Dark Skin People & Activists Are ‘Bleaching’ Their Photos…

I am a light skin chick—as some of my male friends prefer to disrespectfully call me when I am not around. But the truth is, I am light skin and I am proud to be so.

I do not go about talking down or disrespecting anyone just because the person is dark skin—and I do not believe I am the most beautiful person in my group simply because I am fair in complexion.

Also, I do not see the need to reinforce and paint in the mind of people that light skin is beautiful and we must celebrate that.

However, each day in my life, I come across a person working tireless to tell people like me that, we are not superior to those with dark skin—and I don’t remember anyone saying we are.

Though the truth may hurt, I have come to realize a growing inherent complexity with dark skin people. No one is running a race yet they continue to run and in doing so, they try to make light skin people feel bad.

If you believe your colour is the best and beautiful, you do not need anyone to keep reminding you of this, so you can feel good about yourself without belittling the other person.

Probably, it is the increasing trend of bleaching among the dark skin which has ignited this campaign of ‘help save the dark skin’—leading to unnecessary attacks on innocent light skin chicks like me.

I do not have to say a word and the moment I enter a room, a dark skin person will whisper at the far end of the room; she thinks she is beautiful because of her colour… Really? When did I say anything? I just entered…

You do not build up high self-esteem by simply seeking to make someone feel worst, especially when the person does not care about you and has not signed up for any sort of competition with you and your colour.

It is not a mere coincidence that despite the numerous attempts to fly dark skin, even the campaigners continue to cherish and plant the notion of light skin supremacy in the minds of the same people they seek to protect—through the use of countless image colouring techniques and filters on social media.

Leave the EXCUSES Behind…

Excuses

From TopVincent.Com

In life, excuses remain the greatest escape route and many of us employ them in our daily lives to make peace with others, ourselves and our dreams. But do we really need these excuses in our lives?

Without doubt, excuses can make things easy since all you have to do is find a reason to put on the table—forgetting that, excuses are ingredients of failure.

Instead of recognizing that actions are the building blocks of success, we look around for the excuses which will set us free from acting.

Many of us spend hours, even days and a lot of energy searching for the perfect excuse without realizing that excuses merely keep us stuck in our unwanted positions.
