So, yeah this is mostly a fandom based journal, but I also believe in a) supporting my friends and b) supporting good causes and both of these fall into those categories. So, if you all feel so inclined to help out two of my friends, even just a little, please consider giving:

Promoting Literacy in the Philippines.
My project, Aklatang Pambata, is a community library project that aims to target the high illiteracy rate among early graders in our site(s). Under this project, two specific programs will be launched: 1) A Reading (Storytelling) Program and the 2) Catch Them Early (CTE) Program. These programs will be implemented by volunteers from the community or partner organizations and will serve as interventions to address the literacy problems in public elementary school children.

Objective: For the Reading (Storytelling) Program, I hope that at the end of the project, the children will have developed good reading habits (which include developing reading strategies such as noting important details, critical thinking/asking questions, etc), will have increased knowledge and skills through supplemental lessons on a wide variety of subjects (science and health, numeracy, literacy, civics and culture, creative arts, environment awareness, etc.), and will have learned to recognize themes that show them positive values. For the Catch Them Early Program, I hope that the children develop and/or enhance their phonemic awareness, learn word identification strategies, improve their oral reading fluency, and ability to read independently.

End Product: For the Reading (Storytelling) Program, I expect the students to compose their own stories and present them through a storytelling performance/play. Each session shall also have enrichment and enhancement activities which will gauge the students comprehension and appreciation of the stories read. For the Catch Them Early Program, I expect the students to progress from non-readers to readers (able to read with comprehension, write/compose brief essays/journal entries)

30 Hour Famine.
Did you know that by the end of today, 26,000 children under age 5 will die - most of them from preventable causes like hunger, poverty, and disease. 14,000 will die from causes related to hunger - one child every seven seconds.

This weekend, I am participating as a youth group chaperone in an event called the 30 Hour Famine sponsored by World Vision. For 30 hours, I will choose to go without food and drink. In order to keep busy, our group will also take part in service projects around the community throughout the day. Please consider supporting me in this cause by making a donation. Checks can be made payable to World Vision and all gifts are tax-deductible.

Also,





The watermark is annoying and the vids will be replaced once a nicer copy is up, but if you just want to see it, there you go.

Dude, I could never EVER do 30 hours. I do the 24 hour thing for Yom Kippur and want to DIE and my body starts trembling and I feel sick. But wow. More power to you and doing work during that?? I mean I hope no one faints from dehydration or anything!

Thank you for the videos! Aw, yes, daughters are AWESOME. Also no coma! NO COMA!

Yeah it's kind of crazy. And just for clarification purposes, these aren't my charities. They are friends who are doing them. I should go back and edit those.

Also- NO COMA!

Also, sorry for the delay. Turns out the new server makes me upload file by file. 7x04 has 109 images so it's taking bit by bit. Maybe check the beta filter in like 3 hours? They def need comments/help.

Oh yeah, that would make more sense as it seemed that you were saying you were doing it. That's nice of you to support friends, though!

S'okay. Stupid server. Picture by picture must take FOREVER. I kinda think I won't be able to give very coherent feedback until entire season airs as I can't even REWATCH latest eps.

That's the exact problem I have. I don't know how I feel about posting these early ones until I see how it ends. Should I just wait 3 more weeks and work on fic instead? Cuz there's something else I'm working on that's kind of extensive and could use your help. What do you think?

Tease:-P

Also, word to awesome charities, and thank you for posting that information. We don't have a ton of extra money, but I bust my ass to give what I can, and I like to know it will be put to good use.

Kiefer on Letterman? *flails psychotically* No one else on this earth turns me into a fangirl. Seriously. It's embarrassing.

So now I'm a tease AND an enabler? Wow, I really need to buy more polish for that halo.

Yay thanks. :)

Hahaha, told you if you wait a bit it would show up on youtube.

You really kinda do. Also, I blame you for the fact that my play count for 9 Crimes is um *checks* 54 and I haven't even been here that much today.

Did you check your email too? I might have slipped you another song. Not to fic, just to enjoy.

GAHHHHHHHHHH. I haven't downloaded it yet. Shit seriously. My brain is burning. If I don't get this fic done soon I'm going to have to kill myself or someone else. Every time I send it to someone else they tell me something new is missing. And I mean, it's all true, but. . .

So! For once in my life (don't faint) I'm trying to have some self-discipline and not download that song until I write the now TWO more scenes that I need to write to make this fic . . . whatever. I swear to god I would throw this thing in the toilet right now if I hadn't spend the last week on it.

Oh and plus right now I'm betaing for someone else (different fandom), which is actually a nice brain break.

However, I sound whiny and ungrateful, which is the exact opposite of what I mean to sound. I LOVE the fanmix like woah and can't wait to get started thinking on that.

If any of my brain is left after being eaten by this piece of schmoopy crap:)

Your flailing abilities never cease to amaze me. Hahaha. Get to it when you get to it. It's all good. :)

And dude, revel in the fact that you're now mostly editing rather than producing! Look at the beta comments as the light at the end of the tunnel. It's not an oncoming truck, I promise. Relax. Here- look at this pic from the past episode (http://tvspoilerscenter.iimmgg.com/image/cb6027d5bbc79982b876c1f1cb890f21). (damn that just made you flail more, didn't it?)

We all have to be good at something, no?

Also, you suck;) Yes, flailing more now. Totally. I didn't realize it was possible, but I am. Oh, my Jack/Renee love so transcends the unhealthy.

I'm surprised you lasted 2 hours more than you said you would. Heheh.

Hey, I just clicked on that link and my Norton thingy-bob came up with a Big Red X saying that site is unsafe. Which I've never seen it do before. Just passing along the friendly neighbourhood Norton warning.

Great photo.

Damn the teasing about Day 8. "Jack may be in a coma for 20 eps" He IS just playing with us, right?

RIGHT?

Not that watching him nap isn't cute. But not for 20 eps.

From: [identity profile] cybertoothtiger.livejournal.com


Augh! No coma! No coma!

Aw, I love the Bedazzler story. Mom. What were you thinking?

Also, hee -- can you imagine going to dinner at your girlfriend's house when her Dad is Jack Bauer? Yikes.
