The Youngest Mother in History. Take a Guess
Submitted by Twinkie on Fri, 2005-11-11 23:13. blogging | culture | familyI always wanted to be a mother and I love babies so much. They are adorable, cute, innocent and just lovable. Still, I always thought I will have babies after finishing the school and achieving parts of goals that I looked up to.
So when do you think is an ideal time for someone to be a mother? Or when do you think of yourself as a mother giving a birth to a baby?
Recently, I discovered that the youngest mother in the history was only 5 years and 7 months old when she gave a birth to a healthy boy. Peruvian girl Lina Melinda gave a birth to her son Gerardo by going through a caesarian section performed by three doctors.

Something fortunate could turn out be to...
Submitted by Twinkie on Fri, 2005-10-14 19:11.I went to shop at King of Prussia mall this afternoon. Today I did not spend much money, but usually I like to buy many things to award myself. After going to college, I do not really work nor earn good money, except working on Erdman. So, for me to shop and spend much money is not a good idea. So usually I think and wish for a big fortune that could help me not to worry about my allowance or spending, like college tuition.
The BIGGEST LIE that has ever been told
Submitted by Twinkie on Tue, 2005-10-04 21:40. community | culture | emergenceThink about your family background and origin. Let's say you are the only one who does not "fit" in the family because of your skin color or hair. All the family members do "fit" but not you. When you are born with that, according to your mother and the doctors, it was because of a skin disease called melanism. You are the only balck person in the white family.
I was reading the newspaper article about a lie that had shattered one person's identity over twenty-six years. Dave Myers's story was rather captivating. The secret of a mother almost ruined and damaged her son's life. However, Dave made it thorugh and now he is very enthusiastic about sharing his story and discussing about the race.
Forgot your password?
Submitted by Twinkie on Thu, 2005-09-29 22:46. technologySee, the thing is I thought I was having hard time memorizing my passwords (the ones that I created originally). But it happens to be there are many people who have been struggling and frustrated about their numerous passwords. This article from Information Week announced that more than half of the enterprise end users apply more than NINE passwords in order to gain access to Windows, specific applications, and Web portals. And this data was based on RSA Security survey.
Kitty Genovese, who is she?
Submitted by Twinkie on Tue, 2005-09-27 12:53. communityProbably all Bryn Mawr psychologists and sociologists, also many more from "outside," might heard of Ms Catherine Genovese during 1960s. Generally, she is known as Kitty Genovese.
From my writing class, I got an artible about bystander syndrome also known as kitty genovese syndrome. Bystander Apathy.. This is what usually happens in a crime scene. However, a 28 yeras old New Yorker should not have murdered while "No one went outsie to help her. No one called police."

After the nation being suffered from the biggest and most malicious man-made attack in United States history, the U.S. government decided to go after the world's largest terrorist group in Middle East. So far, this war cost U.S. about 2000 American citizens and 100 to 2000 billion dollars.
I was not the only one experiencing computer problems...
Submitted by Twinkie on Mon, 2005-09-19 23:30. bloggingLast night, I finished my homework and saved in my laptop, which I believed that it would be a safe place with no harms. But I was wrong. I went out to Merion Green to meet up with some of my friends and came back two hours later. When I came into my room, my monitor has a black screen and it said I had "media test failure and check the cable." Well, that point, I didn't think I have troubles; so I restarted my laptop to see what it does. This time, I got Windows loading screen, so I thought maybe my laptop did have any problems. There was just no way that it could be something really serious. But! I was wrong....again.
Oops.... My bad :(

Katrina Effects
Submitted by Twinkie on Thu, 2005-09-15 01:21. KatrinaI know people got sick of hearing the blogs about Katrina. But also, I believe it really impacted our community. Whenever, people listen to the radio--doesn't matter which station it is--they will hear the donations and contributions made to Katrina victims.
Even Bryn Mawr Dining halls cancelled the Penny Candy Day, instead they will donate the money for Katrina victims.
I just found out all the free boxes in the dormitories are turning into the donations for Katrina victims, too!
Define Twinkie
Submitted by Twinkie on Thu, 2005-09-08 14:42.I never realize my pseudonym would have a meaning of that. I was googling random stuff and got into Wikipedia about Twinkie! :) I had a good time laughing it off about that definition. So I thought some people might enjoy it, too. =]
Do yo know what Twinkie really means? other than a cake with creamy filling-of course.
If you do, then I think you will enjoy how twinkies are made.
Internet Witch-Hunting
Submitted by Twinkie on Thu, 2005-09-08 11:36. communityWOI groups experienced some of the troubles or maybe conflicts during past weeks. So I remembered some newspaper articles about internet witch-hunting and one of the articles really made me feel everyone belong to the society called "web blogs"-whether they like it or not.
You are riding on the subway with your favorite dog, even though that's against the law to bring a pet into the subway. Meanwhile, your pet poops on the floor but this happened in such a short time and you are embrassed. People are yelling at you to clean the mess and some are even taking pictures or record the videos of you and your dog using cellular phones. What would you do?
More about the blog: Chapter 5
Submitted by Twinkie on Sun, 2005-09-04 18:23. bloggingChapter five explained the meaning of the blog and how the bloggings differ from the homepages.
The blog is more of writing. It provides the right and useful information to the audience or internet users. The blog is a committment. It takes a lot of efforts to blog everyday.
However, the homepages are little different. It's more about the close related family, pets or something. They will always include some friendly pictures and have 100 visitors probably for a year (or maybe not).
Since the internet is wide spread, blogging is a "power of distributed information" where anyone can share and develop some ideas upon it. The essays and personal opinions of free topic online will open a new way of discussion through the world.
The Controversy continues...
Submitted by Twinkie on Thu, 2005-09-01 10:56.All of us, i mean the people in WOI classes, had to argue and discussed about the censorship and the freedom of speech in the class today.
Well, like Apathy mentioned this blog is "public." I don't very much enjoy reading about a person's private sexual life and so on. But there is nothing I can do to stop her from blogging her life and events, perhaps. I believe this blog should contain more than just one person's sex belief.
Some might want to express their civil rights and blah (the ones we learned in US Government and Civics in high school). But think about this way. The internet is all around the world; if people google the name "Bryn Mawr College" and see this website containing some uncensored materials, people could reproduce their own image of maybe the school or the students, us!
My 1st Testing =]
Submitted by Twinkie on Wed, 2005-08-31 09:09.I feel so stupid because I spent almost half-hour trying to figure out how to leave a post up.
But, oh well... Finally I got them in my hands now =]
Like everyone in WOI, I'm so excited about this class.
It sounds really fun and interesting and hope it would stay that way :P
Seems like many of you already posted so many comments and I kinda feel overwhlemed but i think I can deal with this.
Before I run for my calcu class, I just wanted to say hello and see you tomorrow..
Next time, I will pick out a topic and stick with that. :P
