This upcoming year, its poses to restrict certain media programming and news , that is brought into the country from the international market.

2011 A Year In Reflection.
2011 a year of extremes,
1) The capture of Osama Bin Laden, marked the begin of the end? or is it?
2) The Occupy Wall Street movement creates buzz in the financial district, and creates worldwide uproar, as citizens all over the world, take to the streets, their concerns, anger uncertainty and frustration, for a new change. I diffidently think change is coming in 2012.
3) Ten Year Anniversary of 9/11. The 9/11 Memorial opens for the first time. As we mourn the victims on this day. I will never forget this day.
4) Japanese Tsunami kills millions, as the country rebuilds from one of the biggest natural disaster in its history. The pictures and videos explained it all.
5) The fall of the dictator, Moammar Gadhafi, 42 year rule comes to an end. Still wondering why we were there in the first place.
Stay tuned………………….. One question I do ask?Do you think 2011 is going to spin over into 2012? or is 2012 is going to be the year for change? Looking forward to keeping you guys informed on the the latest happenings, as well as my experience living in Asia.
Happy New Years!!!!!

Its A Wonderful Life -Christmas Classic
Now that the Christmas season is here, When I think of Christmas classics , there is no other movie, that has been on re-runs, as much times, as it has, or has made such an immense imprint on future generation, such as Jimmy Stewart's, Its A Wonderful life. Told from a reverse chronology, it gives you something to think about, when it comes to life, and how one person can have an impact on many, whether he or she believes it . I think this movie especially relates to today, and the times we are going through, and some are even thinking about throwing in the towel, gives us all something to reflect on, when it comes to the gift of life!! I have watched this movie a dozen times, and each time I've watched it, I've come away with a different understanding about life itself. especially the end, when he reads a note saying, Remember no man is a failure who has friends. If you haven't watched it yet, your missing out. Its an epic, that is timeless, which never gets stale. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend you do. Enjoy the clip!!
