'Rome wasn't built in a day''
>> Thursday, May 31, 2012
It is me again after 5 months of silence. My last year's resolution to keep updating my blog with more posts seemed hard to keep. I have been neglecting my blog and I do not have really good excuse for that.Lot of things have happened and passing of Whitney Houston probably one of biggest in world news early this year. It was finally revealed by coroner that cause of the death was because she had a heart attack that led her to lose consciousness and drown in the bath at her hotel. Immediately after the death, it was widely thought that drinking combined with prescription pills made the star lose consciousness and slip under the bathwater. However traces of prescription pills like xanax was found in her blood system but they did not contribute to her death. Chronic usage of cocaine by her was the main factor leading to the heart attack.
I am not her fan though I am familiar with her hit songs. Most Malaysians probably never heard of or not familiar with anti-depressant prescription drugs like paxil. zoloft, xanax and prozac but I do. Just For the record, I never take any of these prescription drug and never pop any of them. My friend took xanax . He was on paxil before that . He lives in the USA. These drugs help to relieve symptoms like panic attack, anxiety or depressions or sleeping disorder. However there is significant side effects of the drugs and you will go through withdrawal symptoms when you want to get it off. You may get hooked to these drug too and become additive to them . My friend said that many Americans got hooked to prescriptions drugs because live is stressful there. I doubted that. I guess when dealing with depression, anxiety, difficulty or stress probably the best way as a Muslim myself is by reading the Quran or meditation and prayers. I wish to live in free stress world or country . I read on Yahoo about people living in zero currency. They do not have debts at all and living in simplest way possible. Debt is one of biggest sources of stress and by eliminating them you could have unstressful life. This will be my new resolution next year.
Talking about news again, on the local scene was Bersih 3.0 rally that took place last month in the city of Kuala Lumpur. The so called peacefully rally for clean and fair elections turned into violence and destructive and not 'Bersih' anymore. Alhamdulillah most Malaysians and the silent majority hate violence and love peaceful Malaysia. If you do not like the current government, throw them through the ballot box but not through street demonstrations . Rome wasn't built in a day and Malaysia too. I hope no more drama of this kind in the future, In sya Allah. May God forbids. Looking at the facial gesture of the protesters on the streets of the rally they were different from those in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq. People always forget to be thankful and grateful to God.
Here are some interesting pictures of Rome. I almost forget what travel blog is all about.
