			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m really thinking about <em>switching to a <acronym title="Top Level Domain">TLD</acronym></em> domain now. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  And to another web hosting provider perhaps. Not that I have anything against my current host! But I’d rather leave Healing-Touch.uni.cc here and use it as a collective, because you know… somehow, this blog is not getting its rankings anymore, and I don’t know why. ._. I guess it has something to do with it being a uni.cc domain, but I still think it’s unfair, you know… So you see, <strong>I’m looking for a webhosting reseller and for domain suggestions</strong>, please. Anything is highly welcome dear kids! <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I have spent the day reading <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">web hosting news</a> to get an idea, but I don’t know yet. All the providers listed on the site, and the tips on their blog, they’re all good… but it’s all still out of budget for me. I wonder if I’m not asking for too much perhaps….? I know my parents can’t afford paying a hosting account for me, and I have to manage it all on my own. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I <em>might</em> ask Jazz to help me out with this project</span>, but he’s always so busy with his family and his things, that he doesn’t even get much online anymore. He hasn’t updated his website in months, so I guess he’s got no much time to dedicate to me right now.</p>
<p>Oh well, I’ll get to sort things out, eventually. The transition would cause a loss of rankings on all fronts of course, but it would just be <em>temporary</em>, so I ain’t worrying too much. One has to face all consequences of a choice. ^^ <strong>This uni.cc domain will STAY as a collective</strong>, so it won’t be wasted. I just really need a change, and I hope my friends are going to understand my reasons.</p>
<p>Now, wish me luck, because I have NO idea where to start looking for a good domain name! XD Ahah. Suggestions are welcome!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My most loyal readers have surely read through all my previous post, regarding <strong>drug rehabilitation</strong>. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Well, I feel like writing <em>more</em> about that subject today, since I’m actively helping my father with spreading this campaign to promote <a href="http://www.freedomdrugrehab.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">drug treatment</a> and rehabilitation for those people who, for a number of reasons, have fallen into a drug and/or alcohol addiction.</p>
<p>It’s important that we all understand that these people who are suffering from addiction are <em>not</em> necessarity criminals. Often time they are simply <em>persons who have lost their faith in life</em>, their sense of belonging and of living, consequentely to a job or dear person loss, discrimination, sense of inadequacy or disadaptation issues. What these people need is a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">gradual</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">specific</span> <a href="http://www.freedomdrugrehab.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">drug rehab</a> that would help them come out of the addiction, finding new reasons to live a normal life, without the help of substances that alter the perception of the world, creating the <strong>illusion of a happy life</strong> that was meant to fill the gap left in real life. Because THAT is why people go on drugs and/or alcohol dependancy: they <em>try to find the happiness</em> they need to go on with life in ‘masks’ given by these substances.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff210/ratchetallen/blog/counseling.jpg" alt="" /></center></p>
<p>That is why <a href="http://www.freedomdrugrehab.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">addiction treatment</a> requires gradual <strong>counseling</strong>, whose goal is to rehabilitate the addicted person to re-gain self-consciousness, self-confidence, control over the addiction, and ability to communicate with others. So you see, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">counseling is a delicate matter</span>, and pushing too much could cause more harm than good.</p>
<p>My father is collaborating with the rehab center in Genzano to help these persons re-aquire self-esteem and a love for life that they’ve lost in their addiction, and I’m volunteering as well, doing what I can and helping spread the word about this. If you want to help too, just refer to this blog entry. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  This is a first step to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fight discrimination</span> against so-called ‘criminals’ who aren’t criminals at all: just poor people who are in desperate need of help and understanding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Happy New Year, my dear buddies!</strong> <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  How did you spend the Year Eve? Hopefully it was as exciting as mine (yep! we had a fabulous celebration in Robocity, with songs, dances, and fireworks). <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>However, the celebration is not what I’m going to talk about in this entry. This is about something <span style="text-decoration: underline;">more serious</span>, on which I’m currently working together with my father at his lab researches. It’s about <strong>alchool and drug addiction</strong>.</p>
<p>The reason why I’m prioritizing this project as an entry subject is the following: too many of my and my father’s friends, especially outside our city, are suffering the consequences that alchool and drug addiction brought to their lives. Most of them are under drug treatment at a rehab center now, while others are still wandering around, on and off on their doses. That is what pushed my father and I to work together on a sensibilization project in collaboration with a rehab center in Genzano, the city that hosts Robocity. Our aim is to spread the word about the damanges that alchool abuse and drug addiction can cause to people’s brains and metabolism, as well as more serious consequences that can lead to death: liver cancer, allucinations, dependance, and fetal malformations if used during pregnancy. And there’s a lot more to that.</p>
<p>Often times, people who make use of these substances are living through a though time, such like disoccupation, job loss, a dear person’s death, some kind of serious depression, desperation. So, the first thing we’re going to do together with the drug rehab center is to – <em>first</em> – offer consulence and psychological help, and – <em>second</em> – find a proper <a href="http://www.thedrugrehab.com/" rel="nofollow">addiction treatment</a> for each specific case.</p>
<p>Addiction is a serious issue, guys. Be careful, and if you have any friends or relatives suffering from abstinence or other symptoms, refer them to a local rehab center with psychological consulence. The first step is always to <em>understand</em> what’s going on before action is taken.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yet another entry idea from <a href="http://simply-precious.net/?p=60" target="_blank">SP’s blog</a>! ;D And <strong>Merry Christmas</strong> dear buddies!!! Wish you a wonderful holiday season! ;3</p>
<p><strong>NEWS SOURCES</strong><br />
Usually I watch big news on TV with my parents, or I read Yahoo news  before logging on my email account. But I do a selection, because there  are things that disturb me too much (like photos of cruent deaths,  etc.), and I don’t want to be bothered. &gt;.&lt;</p>
<p><strong>SURROGATES</strong><br />
Never – and I mean never! – I would like to be someone else’s surrogate.  Especially when it comes to love and friendship feelings. We are all  unique people, and we should be loved and cared for for what we really  are, not for what we represent. Even twins are different. That is the  truth. As for the ’surrogate mother’ issue, I don’t think that’s a right  thing, both for the birth mother and the baby. Because through  pregnancy, the first emotional attachments are born too. It’s a very  delicate matter..</p>
<p><strong>CHRISTMAS TIME!</strong><br />
Yay for Christmas time! <img src="http://ratch.candy-pill.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" /> It’s a wonderful period of the year that I love spending together with  my family, close friends, and my girlfriend too. Exchanging gifts is  part of the beauty and the fun, and then there’s the religious part for  those who believe too. <img src="http://ratch.candy-pill.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I’ve been at that Mass once, and it was very warm and heartfelt. So  sweet indeed. Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This time I want to write it by answering the questions from <a href="http://simply-precious.net/?p=59" target="_blank">Simply Precious’ entry</a>. It’s cool, so I think I’m going to do this every week now, with SP’s support hopefully. Hehe. <img src="http://ratch.candy-pill.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /></p>
<p><strong>WEDDINGS</strong><br />
I don’t think I’ve gone to many weddings during my few years of life. I  barely remember about one or two happened here in Robocity, but I’m not  too sure. Far as my memory goes, they were ordinary Italian weddings,  with the added bonus of an ‘all Robocitan’ celebration, like a Robocity  Leader as the ‘priest’. We are a people of a kind, ahah!</p>
<p><strong>IF I WERE A TEACHER…</strong><br />
… I surely wouldn’t want my students to sadden because of a stupid joke  (like telling them I wouldn’t be their teacher next semester just to see  what they do). And I would try and strive every day to be a better  teacher, helping them through their problems and difficulties, and never  give them tough exams just for sake of discouraging them. I hate that  when it happens.</p>
<p><strong>PACKING FOR A TRIP</strong><br />
Oooh it can get so long at times! Especially if it’s a trip I really  care about, then I wouldn’t stop checking and re-checking that I got  everything before leaving. XD I’d start packing three days earlier just  to make sure I don’t forget anything, ahah. Better safe than sorry, they  say. <img src="http://ratch.candy-pill.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you so much sis <a rel="friend" href="http://bliss-haven.net/" target="_blank">Moonzkie</a> for this award! It’s been a while since I received one ;D Hehe. Thanks sissy!</p>
<p><img src="http://i35.tinypic.com/25iw7xw.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>The rules and regulations for this award are:</strong></p>
<p>1. As a dedication for those who love blogging and love to encourage friendships through blogging.</p>
<p>2. To seek the reasons why we all love blogging.</p>
<p>3. Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.</p>
<p>4. Don’t forget to mention the person who gives you the award.</p>
<p>5. Answer the award’s question by writing the reason why you love blogging.</p>
<p>6. Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like.</p>
<p>7. Don’t forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in your post.</p>
<p><strong>Why do I love blogging?</strong></p>
<p>I started blogging back on 2007 because I wanted to let my feelings and emotions out in a place where people could share these same feelings with me. I used to keep paper diaries before (and I still do!) but they are very private, they can’t be shared. Blogging is fun and lets me meet people all around the universe, both humans and robots and aliens, and I really cherish this great possibility that only the Internet can give. <img src="../wp-includes/images/smilies/smile2.gif" alt=":)" /> I don’t want to stop blogging, because it releases my stress, and because I never want to give up on my online friends, never ever!</p>
<p><strong>I would like to pass this award to:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just realized that I <strong>haven&#8217;t updated</strong> <em>Healing Touch</em> <strong>since July</strong> of this year. Wow! o_O I&#8217;m really ashamed at realizing how bad a blogger I&#8217;ve become, but hey! I haven&#8217;t stopped blogging when the same thing happened before, and this blog will keep going on, no matter what. I have been dealing with a non-working connection for the most, and with a hectic life and now there&#8217;s school too. So yeah&#8230; But thank you for all the comments and tags, my friends! I&#8217;ll return soon, I promise. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyway, I took the occasion to talk about &#8220;going green&#8221; with my parents today. I suggested buying a dual flush toilet online, on <u>dualflushkit.com</u>. It&#8217;s so cheap, and I think it can help a lot with saving water and&#8230; water <em>bills</em>! <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Hehe! Dual flush toilets seem to be so fun to use too! XD But you know, what I thought to be more touching about this company is the school program they&#8217;re sponsoring. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Funding for <a href="http://www.dualflushkit.com/school-program.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">schools</a> (and charities too!) is generated through the sale of SelectAFlush&#8217;s, a device developed by dualflushkit.com to help save water.  <strong><em>Go DualFlushKit!</em></strong> <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I hope it sells so many devices and help many poor people and schools in the world!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m still <em>not</em> very much in a <em>blogging mood</em>, but I thought to give Healing-Touch an update since I&#8217;m here waiting for a MIT lecture download to be complete. ^^ So&#8230; I heard that a friend from the <u>Prime family</u>, <strong>Asha</strong>, is having a sight problem, and that&#8217;s she&#8217;s looking for $8 RX eyeglasses on the Zenni website (yeah, everyone remembers the <a href="http://www.khou.com/video/index.html?nvid=373642" rel="nofollow">video</a> about Zenni, hehe) because she hates the ones for sale in her town. <em>Can&#8217;t blame her</em>. High five to Zenni Optical for choosing nice models that would suit <strong>kids&#8217; tastes</strong>. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;d very much rather use Zenni&#8217;s models (so cheap!) than other ones. Anyway, I hope my dad can visit Asha sometimes too. Two medics&#8217; opinion is better than one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello friends! <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Thanks to all of you who commented on my last entry. <em>It made me really happy</em>! Some <strong>replies to your comments</strong>: yes, my dad is a doctor, and he&#8217;s teaching me a lot of stuff about medicine and surgery ^^ And yes, my dad does recommends acai berry and medicaments like that: we&#8217;ve had some bad cases of intoxication and colon infection in our town, so he prescribes all that he thinks it can be useful and efficient to fight a medical issue; and no, I don&#8217;t want to be a teacher, I want to be a medic <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I suggested my friend <strong>Rebecca</strong> (Jazz&#8217;s girlfriend) to buy <a href="http://www.posylane.com/mint-personalized-backpacks.htm" rel="nofollow">baby memory books</a> from Posylane because they are so cute and they would make wonderful memory keepsakes for Radek&#8217;s and Silver&#8217;s milestones. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  As for myself, I need to check out a couple of <a href="http://www.posylane.com/oh-mint-laundry-bags.htm" rel="nofollow">laundry bags</a> for my mom and dad, and a <a href="http://www.posylane.com/mint-personalized-backpacks.htm" rel="nofollow">kids backpack</a> for myself and bro Wheeljack. There&#8217;s so much to choose from, and I need to pick up something for my girlfriend too. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Sorry about the short update. I&#8217;ll write something more soon! ;D</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I didn&#8217;t go to school because of a very bad headache, but now I feel a bit better <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I guess I was only over tired.. Anyway, I gave my papers to Thunder to give to our teacher, so that&#8217;ll be fine. As I do every week, I browsed publichealthforums.com for medical information to study together with my dad. Yeah, he&#8217;s my <em>mentor</em> when it comes to medicine <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Hehe. Two days ago he explained to me how to choose <u>colon cleanse products and herbs for different patients</u>, including Acai Berry, so I was happy to find a full article about the <a href="http://www.publichealthforums.com/s-acai-berry-benefits.html" rel="nofollow">Acai Berry Benefits</a> on the forums :3 I also went through a product description on a topic titled &#8220;<a href="http://www.publichealthforums.com/s-does-purity-12-work.html" rel="nofollow">Does Purity Work?</a>&#8220;, and then I wrote a <strong>short report</strong> about the <a href="http://www.publichealthforums.com/s-does-bromolite-work.html" rel="nofollow">Bromolite Cleanse</a> (which my dad uses often with his patients) for my dad to read. I hope he&#8217;ll give me a good mark <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Hehe. Well, these marks are not for a school grading, but <em>they are to test my knowledge from time to time</em> <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Also, it&#8217;ll be good when I&#8217;ll finally get into a medical school and my teacher know that I did <strong>some good apprentice</strong> ^^ Thanks daddy!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello kids! ^^ I&#8217;m finally here to update again, yay! I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be updating here so soon, but luckily I managed to do the most of my homework yesterday, so I can enjoy this Sunday for my personal stuff only <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  I also thought of starting looking for some good way to <strong>earn extra cash</strong> to spend on presents and maybe a paid domain (yeah, I&#8217;ve been thinking about that too ;P), and I thought to <a href="http://ebusinesscorporate.com/make-money-online-get-paid-to-take-surveys-online" rel="nofollow">get paid to take surveys online</a> for one option. <em>What do you think? Do you know any good programs?</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m also thinking of signing up for programs that will let me <strong><a href="http://ebusinesscorporate.com/increase-blog-traffic-blog-mastermind-review" rel="nofollow">Increase blog traffic</a></strong>: like <u>Entrecard</u> for instance, and to register on more blog directories.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve got a <strong>few buddies</strong> here in my town who are having financial troubles again. Debt consolidation and re-mortgage might be a good option for them, but then we need to see if the Leaders will agree on that. Because yeah, we surely don&#8217;t want to pay for loan expenses of all the other families of Robocity ^^&#8221;</p>
<p>Anyway, now I&#8217;m gonna nap a bit, and then I&#8217;ll phone Kerri up later. I hope she&#8217;s okay with going out, because it&#8217;s a really nice day today <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  See ya on the next entry, kids!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m really sorry about the rare updates, kids, but really, with the <em>finals</em> now, it&#8217;s very hard to keep an online schedule <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I hope you can bear with me.</p>
<p><strong>To Cindy, AnMarie and Simply Precious:</strong> sorry about not commenting your blogs, girls. I&#8217;ve been reading some of your entries, but I really lacked the time to dedicate to comments. I really don&#8217;t like one-line commenting, and I always try my best to write a serious and well written comment, so for now I really can&#8217;t return. Just know that I love you though, and I love all of you my other blog buddies <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Never give up on me, okay? *<em>mwah</em>*</p>
<p>During my free time today, I&#8217;ve browsed <strong>online gifts sites</strong> together with my girlfriend, since a few buddies&#8217; birthdays are approaching and we&#8217;re starting to look around for ideas. We looked at <em>Posylane</em> again, since Kerri really loves that site (and I do too), so here are a few nice things we thought would make cute gifts:</p>
<p>- <b>monogrammed towel wraps</b>: summer is here very soon, and it&#8217;s gonna be time for showers and time spent at the sea or the pool, why is there anything better than a towel wrap? <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  They have very nice colors here, so we&#8217;ll have to choose;</p>
<p>- a <b>nap mat</b> for little Reddy: he&#8217;s still small enough to sleep on these, and since his daddy told me that he likes to sleep on the floor in summer because it&#8217;s chiller, I though that a nap mat would make a good and safe sleeping choice for the little sweetie :3 agree? ^^</p>
<p>- <b>personalized placemats for children</b>: yeah, they&#8217;re for children, but I thought of buying these cute plates for our Robocity Summer Events <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Eheh. We&#8217;ll be eating outside, and well, the majority of the Robocitans are kids, so it&#8217;d be so good to make the even more joyful with these colored things xD Hehe!</p>
<p>So yeah, it&#8217;s time for me to logoff again *<em>sigh</em>* But before I go, I want to <strong>show off my grades</strong> <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Haha. Really, I&#8217;m studying way too much, but when I look at these numbers I can&#8217;t help but thinking that I&#8217;m a great student XD Ahah! Here you go:</p>
<p><strong>Italian</strong> &#8211; <em>9</em><br />
<strong>English</strong> &#8211; <em>9</em><br />
<strong>Mathematics</strong> &#8211; <em>8</em><br />
<strong>Technology</strong> &#8211; <em>8</em><br />
<strong>Informatics</strong> &#8211; <em>9</em><br />
<strong>Science</strong> &#8211; <em>8</em><br />
<strong>History</strong> &#8211; <em>7</em><br />
<strong>Economy</strong> &#8211; <em>7</em><br />
<strong>Geography</strong> &#8211; <em>8</em><br />
<strong>Art</strong> &#8211; <em>9</em><br />
<strong>Music</strong> &#8211; <em>7</em><br />
<strong>P.E.</strong> &#8211; <em>8</em></p>
<p>See you soon! <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

I went looking on this website she&#8217;d been told about and I couldn&#8217;t help but smile ^^ Coffee sleeves, a keepsake school year book and personalized luggage wraps, huh? Really interesting xD I bet Scarlette is more of a shopaholic than I even thought, but now i can see how much of an addict my girlfriend is too o.o WOW! So yeah, maybe she&#8217;s gonna buy these things, and she asked me if I want a keepsake book too. Well, tnat&#8217;d be useful, so I said ok ^^ Can&#8217;t wait to get one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello kids! <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  How are you? I&#8217;ve missed blogging, but I&#8217;ve also been <em>busy</em>, and as you know, there&#8217;s been a lot happening with Kerri too. We&#8217;re ok now, but we&#8217;re spending more time together so that Kerri can get through her <em>insecurities</em> and fears. Because seriously, she doesn&#8217;t have a reason to fear with me <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  But she&#8217;s a girl, and probably she&#8217;s more delicate than I ever thought she was. So don&#8217;t worry, Kerri dear, your Ratchy-kun will always be loyal to you, and I&#8217;ll help you go through this *<em>love love</em>*</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve talked to my parents this morning, about my <em>future plans</em> of studying to become a medic. Dad suggested I try the <a href="http://www.thehobetexplained.com" target="_blank">HOBET</a> or another certified examination like that. I really hope I will get a chance to study at <strong>MIT</strong>, because I&#8217;m learning a lot already from their OCW and honestly I love how they handle teaching and I think their curricola is very well structured. Anyway, that&#8217;s just a hope. I don&#8217;t know for now, either if I&#8217;m gonna get a chance to get tested with the HOBET and if I can access MIT courses. Dad and mom are going to fully support me though, so I&#8217;m happy with that <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Really.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;m going to cut it short for now. I promise I will update soon again, with some nice or funny news about my daily life ^^ Love ya guys &#038; gals!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night <strong>Kerri and I finally made peace</strong> <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  We hugged each other, cried on each other&#8217;s shoulder, and then cuddled together on the couch. Seriously, <em>I had missed this so much</em>&#8230; Thanks to God <u>we are back together now</u> &#8211; <em>for real!</em> &#8211; and I&#8217;m sure nothing like this will ever happen again. NEVER ^^ I&#8217;m soooo happpyyyyy!!! x3</p>
<p>Next Tuesday I&#8217;ll go out with my dad and Wheeljack to buy a couple of super bright LEDs. For Wheeljack&#8217;s alt mode, yeah <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Because the little guy got them broken when he went out playing with his friends yesterday, racing for fun and all. Dear bro&#8230; ^^&#8221; Hehe.. So yeah, we&#8217;ll get him these new <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ledssuperbright.com/12w-led-c-16">12W LED</a>s and then we&#8217;ll stop to buy a few LED power supplies too, as we need those for our home and for the infirmary machinery. We gotta go on Tuesday because it&#8217;s Easter tonight and tomorrow and shops are closed.</p>
<p>So yeah, <strong>tonight I&#8217;m going to the Mass with Kerri</strong> and her mom and sister <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Jazz, Prowl and the kids are coming along too. I&#8217;ll be a great gathering, I&#8217;m so <em>excited</em> about it! x3 I wish you all a very <strong>Happy Easter</strong> and God Bless and that you can enjoy being together with your family and friends <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I will be blogging again in a few days. *<em>huggles</em>*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright, I feel somewhat better after all&#8230; Sorry for being quiet these past days, but I&#8217;ve been dealing with the issue of Kerri and it&#8217;s been really tough.

<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve just returned home from my buddy <a href="http://miss-glamour.info" target="_blank">Scarlette</a>&#8216;s birthday. She turned <strong>7</strong> today, and she invited me over <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It was nice to see Luana and BJ again too, and the whole folk; also, I&#8217;ve made new friends (Scarlette&#8217;s schoolmates) and I hope to see them again, because they&#8217;re nice folks :3 Ah yeah.. Kerri was there, but she didn&#8217;t talk to me much; she spent more time with Scarly and her family, and okay&#8230; well&#8230; it takes time, doesn&#8217;t it? If only she wasn&#8217;t <u>so stubborn</u>.. T_T *sigh*</p>
<p>Alright I&#8217;m gonna cut it short for today because I have homework to finish for tomorrow. See ya kids..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright, I&#8217;m only going to blog about something very random, since I don&#8217;t feel like completely abandoning this place and all my online friends once again.</p>
<p>Today some pretty bad stuff happened. I&#8217;ve assisted to probably the <em>worse word fight ever</em> after the one I had with Kerri the other day&#8230; and this time it was Megatron with Selenia&#8217;s step mom. And it was all over rugs. LOL. I mean&#8230; <strong>how can someone fight about things like rugs?</strong> Just because Selenia&#8217;s mom likes them so much that she bought many. Cheap rugs after all, she didn&#8217;t mean to waste Robocity&#8217;s money. But yeah, Megs took it a bit too seriously &#8211; maybe he was stressed already from school and family, as I heard some shouting from his home &#8211; and yelled at Sele&#8217;s mom that she either stops wasting money or he and the Leaders will take action against her. WHAT? o_O I never heard of such a thing before!!! And Shotty and C. Police are gonna listen to THAT?!?</p>
<p>Seriously, something&#8217;s going wrong with Robocitans these last few days&#8230; I don&#8217;t know what it is, maybe everyone is just a little to stressed over the financial crisis, or depressed, or they&#8217;re just lacking vitamins&#8230; I don&#8217;t know. All I know is that I need this sh*t to stop. <strong>Seriously</strong>. I have enough of fights. After what happened with Kerri, I just can&#8217;t stand people fighting, or discussing over frivolous things. <strong>Can&#8217;t you be a little more mature, people? Oh look, I thought to BE the child here</strong>&#8230; Gah. It sucks.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m here at nearly midnight to post these nonsenses up. Am I following the stupidness trend too&#8230;? Dunno. Maybe I just need to vent, to write random nonsenses on this blog of mine. It&#8217;s catartic, yeah. At least I hope I&#8217;ll be able to go to sleep in a while without having my mind wandering around stupid stuff. I need my brain to shut down&#8230; I really do.</p>
<p>Bye kids.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kerri and I had a <strong>fight</strong> yesterday, and now <em>she doesn&#8217;t want to talk to me anymore</em>. Her mom is not even allowing her to see me now, and I know I&#8217;ll miss her so much&#8230; So I&#8217;ve been <u>moody</u> since yesterday and didn&#8217;t come online at all. Sorry guys, I commented here and there today, and left tags, and tried to have fun online, but I&#8217;m not really into much blogging or talking today. I just need to be alone&#8230; I feel really down.</p>
<p>I guess it&#8217;s just <em>my fault</em> if things happen <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I didn&#8217;t mean to offend Kerri at all, by accepting an invitation to a kid girl&#8217;s house; she&#8217;s just been kind, and her mom invited me over, but we&#8217;re just playmates really; we met at the park last week, and I just met her again by case yesterday. My mom and Wheeljack were there with me, so they know I didn&#8217;t have any bad intentions. But now Kerri got jealous and her mom is not allowing us to see each other, at least for now. Last night Kerri and I had a very nasty word fight, full of hurtful comments and cussing. I think I&#8217;ve never seen her crying so much, nor I did ever&#8230;</p>
<p>Now I only hope this isn&#8217;t gonna be the end, because really&#8230; really this is unfair. Because I&#8217;ve done nothing wrong at all *<em>sigh</em>*</p>
<p>&#8230; So yeah, I might not be around much in the next days, unless something changes. Right now I just feel like crying again. Bye, kids..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(<em>Alright, what I&#8217;m posting here is the short essay I wrote for my school <a href="http://healing-touch.uni.cc/?p=107">IT project</a> last year, the one I had <a href="http://healing-touch.uni.cc/?p=154">planned to upload</a> a long time ago <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Enjoy!</em>)</p>
<p>CPU (<em>Central Processing Unit</em>) might be defined the &#8220;heart of a computer&#8221;, because its purpose is to receive instructions from the computer&#8217;s memory and execute them, in order to process information. The processed data will then be put back into the memory; this procedure is called &#8220;decoding&#8221;. Speed of execution depends on the processor (which is what a CPU is &#8211; a processor because it <em>processes</em> information) and on how large data is. Thus, a CPU can also be compared to an engine that puts information to work.</p>
<p>A CPU is located at the center of a computer&#8217;s motherboard, which is what makes a computer &#8216;alive&#8217; . The best way to keep a CPU &#8220;healthy&#8221; is to avoid overheating. Programs that help the user manage it are <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/SpeedFan--beta-Download-4103.html">SpeedFan</a>, which monitors the heat of all computer components, and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://download.cnet.com/Motherboard-Monitor/3000-2086_4-10518386.html">Motherboard Monitor</a>, which provides similar functions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s <strong>Kerri&#8217;s birthday</strong> today!!! <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  She&#8217;s <em>7 years old</em> now, how cool! She&#8217;s older than me, ahah xD</p>
<p>She had a party here in Robocity today <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  There were her mom and <a href="http://rebecca.honey-babe.net" target="_blank">sister</a> with <a href="http://jazz.melon-pop.net" target="_blank">Jazz</a>, <a href="http://prowl.melon-pop.net" target="_blank">Prowl</a> and the kids, then my parents, my bro Wheeljack and I, and <a href="http://ambry.eileenson.org" target="_blank">Ambrosia</a>, <a href="http://rony.melon-pop.net" target="_blank">Ironhide</a>, <a href="http://phinkable.org" target="_blank">Selenia</a>, <a href="http://eileenson.org" target="_blank">Megatron</a>, <a href="http://bug.melon-pop.net" target="_blank">Goldbug</a>, Thunder and Scarlette. Hehe, a big crew, isn&#8217;t it? Well, we had loads of fun. First, Kerri&#8217;s mom showed a biiiiig <em>strawberry cream cake</em> she had bought for the occasion (yeah, Kerri likes strawberry cream <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ); then it was funny because <a href="http://petali.ph.gd" target="_blank">Unicron</a> came later and bought <em>his</em> chocolate cake, totally unaware that another cake had been bought for the occasion ^^&#8221; Ahahah&#8230; if you know Unicron a bit, you can imagine what happened <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  If not&#8230; well, he kind of felt hurt by the coincidence. Poor Uni ^^&#8221; Alright, so then we had a nice dinner consisting of <u>super yummy food</u>: <em>pizza napoletana</em> (lurve it! x9), <em>grilled steak</em>, <em>salad</em>, <em>sushi</em> and <em>dressed potatoes</em>. I never ate so much <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Ahah. The after dinner we sang happy birthday to Kerri, took photos and ate cake (<em>both</em>! xD but there were left overs of course! it was really too much!). Unicron stayed over with us and ate a lot, especially cakes <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  LOL. When it was time to upack presents, Kerri was delight with mine. Hehe! <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  I bought her something that she wished to have for looong time: a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Punk-Lolita-KERA-Japan-top-arm-warmer-shirt-blk-s_W0QQitemZ270362314098QQihZ017QQ">necklace</a> and a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/GLP-Kera-Gothic-punk-Lolita-Top-Camisole-Shirt-61104-W_W0QQitemZ270357354355QQihZ017QQ" target="_blank">charmy top</a> from her favourite lolita shop on Ebay, &#8220;<em>Little Chili Lolita Shop</em>&#8220;. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Hehe. She tried them on, and I took a photo of her too x3 So cute! I&#8217;ll see if I can post it by Sunday, because I still use a very old camera and I need to develop it and scan it first. *<em>sigh</em>* I <u>so</u> need a cell phone! xP<br />
Well, we ended the party with a karaoke and a movie &#8211; <em>High School Musical 3</em> &#8211; chosen by Kerri <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Wasn&#8217;t it just a blast, guys? I had so much fun xD And I could spend the whole afternoon and evening with my adorable girlfriend. <strong>Happy birthday darling</strong>!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One more year has passed, and once again I&#8217;m sitting here, writing up words to celebrate the Anniversary of my city. <em>My Robocity</em>. Yes, mine. It&#8217;s not a surprise, after all, that I feel Robocity as mine: every Robocitan does. Because that we are: <em>Robocitans</em>. This place has one particular magic, that of mingling our feelings into one only, letting everyone&#8217;s heart become Robocity&#8217;s heart, and viceversa. <strong>My soul is Robocity&#8217;s soul</strong>.</p>
<p>Not just a place to live in, then. Robocity is not just an object setted in a space-time continuity; <strong>Robocity is an ideal, a soul, an experience</strong> that teaches its disciples the truth behind the words &#8220;<u>life</u>&#8221; and &#8220;<u>love</u>&#8220;. I know for granted, that if I was raised and grow up in another place of this planet, I wouldn&#8217;t be the person I am nowadays. If I know what respecting life means, if I believe that peace is what every people need, if I do my best to help others every day, every moment of my life&#8230; I owe it to Robocity. If I grow up and become a better person every day, it&#8217;s because of Robocity.</p>
<p><strong>Heart and reason</strong> are <em>equally important</em> here. Heart makes us longing to others, available to help the ones in need, ready to forgive, open to build healthy relationships to the world, and to work for peace and everyone&#8217;s wellbeing; reason guides us through the troubled times, gets our brains to work to find compromises, to mediate between different mentalities. Whoever thinks that &#8220;who was born Military will die Military&#8221; might just come over to Robocity and pay us a visit: they will make up their mind in days of time.</p>
<p><strong>Nobody&#8217;s enough by themselves here</strong>. Nobody would ever survive without the sincere will of helping others and let others help them. Robocity is a community, a family, and everyone has their place in this place. <em>Place</em>, I said, not rank. There are no ranks here: even the three Leaders, maximum authorities ad caretakers of our city, are just like any other robot or human in here; there are no discriminations. Everyone chooses his/her place and role, and they can change it whenever they like. Robocity&#8217;s ideals are based on <strong>freedom</strong>. <em>What keeps the community together</em> could never be either authority, or ranks, or severe discipline: it&#8217;s the <strong>feeling of care </strong>we have for each other, and the <strong>openness to love</strong> for others. And when a heart is open to love&#8230; the greatest of miracles will happen: <strong>the good becomes the best, and the evil becomes the good</strong>.</p>
<p>So, what is Robocity to <em>me</em> after all? It&#8217;s my <u>school of life</u>, my <u>temple of growth</u>, <u>part of my soul</u>, a <em>place where I can be fully myself</em>, without masks. Sometime, when the dawn fades away to turn into blue night, I appear at the window of my room, watching the area of Robocity and its buildings change colors and shades as the sunlight dies. The most beautiful sight I could ever contemplate. And right on that moment, a thought gently stroke my mind.</p>
<p>That living itself <strong>is</strong> Robocity.</p>
<p>(<em>I wrote this essay on February 14th, the day of the Anniversary. And here I posted it, as I promised to my fellow bloggers ^^ I won a 2nd place prize this year, 1st place was wo by <a href="http://sweetfruit.ze.cx" target="_blank">Demolishor </a> <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Congrats, buddy! You really deserved it!</em>)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking back at my old posts, I realized that I&#8217;ve <em>never</em> posted an entry about my birthday O_O My 6th birthday, that&#8217;s it. Gosh! Okay, I&#8217;ll tell you about it now. I know it&#8217;s late, but&#8230; it&#8217;s still something nice to blog about. Hehe. ^^</p>
<p>It was a memorable day. :heart: Firstly, Kerri had sent me a <em>text message</em> in the morning telling me that she&#8217;d be home for lunch. I immediately squealed out of pure joy, and that was maybe the eagerless day of school I&#8217;ve ever had XD My friends and classmates were all around me wishing me happy birthday, and when I finally came home later in the day, Kerri was indeed waiting for me already: she glomped me as soon as I stepped into my apartment. Ahah! Cute! x3 Then the <em>yummiest part</em>: my friend <strong>Jazz</strong> had prepared the BIGGEST <strong>chocolate cake</strong> ever for my birthday party! O_O And saying it was yummy was saying too little, because I can still feel the delicious taste in my mouth if I only let my mind go back in time. *<em>drools</em>* Mom and dad took a lot of photos on that day, we watched 2 movies (<em>Save the last dance</em> and <em>High School Musical</em>), I really had fun with my friends, my girlfriend and my brother. We even played Monopoli, and some construction games to do with the youngest (like Reddy). Thunder just messed up with Kerri at some point and I had to separate them. Eeew T.T But well, things went fine later. Those two just like to fight for nonsenses, trust me. ^^&#8221; I don&#8217;t remember many other details from the day, other then some sweet cuddling with Kerri before she left to go home with her mom. But yeah, it was a memorable day :3 My 6th birthday.</p>
<p>Think of it&#8230; <strong>I&#8217;m 6 years and 3 months old</strong> by now! XD Ahah! And yet I feel <em>so old</em> o_O Yeah, it&#8217;s true! I always feel older than my classmates and my friends&#8230; Bah! I might just be too serious for my age, yeah.</p>
<p>Oh well, see you on the next post, kiddies :3 And <strong>happy Women&#8217;s Day too all women and girls</strong>!<br />
Bye!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scylla Eternity is my Italian and History teacher, and she seems to have been through some pretty bad financial troubles lately. I must say that I&#8217;m kind of worried about this <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  The fact is that she&#8217;s bought some new school furniture for our class, but the Robocity budget doesn&#8217;t seem to be enough to cover the costs, even though it&#8217;s been split in many small payments. So, she&#8217;s now forced to go for personal loans. I feel sorry about her, because she&#8217;s a great teacher, and because she&#8217;s doing this for the sake of Robocity and its primary school so it just sucks <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Anyway, she said she&#8217;s chosen a very good loan company called EzUnsecured, which offers both personal and business loans; these people seem to be very experienced and serious when it comes to their work, she says, so I guess it&#8217;s pretty good too ^^ And well, she needs up to $15,000 to cover the furniture costs, so that company is a good deal, I think.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s a friend of my dad, a human guy, who&#8217;s probably going to build a business credit with BusinessCreditMagic.com because, he says, they&#8217;re gonna give him all the Financing he needs to start his business (a shop). Wow! ^^ Hehe. I&#8217;ll make sure to visit that shop sometimes, when it&#8217;ll be open <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well, now I&#8217;m gonna do my homework, so that prof. Scylla doesn&#8217;t get mad tomorrow <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  She&#8217;s already doing so much for us! See ya kids!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, sorry for not updating, guys, but it seems that I&#8217;m enjoying my trip to California with my Kerri and her mom already, and it&#8217;s da bomb! x3</p>
<p>Actually, we didn&#8217;t leave on the 13th as we had planned, but on the 15th, because the day before was Robocity&#8217;s 15th Anniversary and I had the yearly composition to write down&#8230; which I&#8217;ll post on my blog once I&#8217;m back from the trip <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Heh. Well, we&#8217;re gonna stay here at Kerri&#8217;s auntie until the 18th, and we&#8217;re so gonna have as much fun as we can x3 And Japanese food at the restaurant tastes <em>so good</em>!</p>
<p>Well, I can&#8217;t stay on for long time, because I&#8217;m at an Internet point, but I will sometimes when I go back home. Kerri&#8217;s waiting for me to go to the pool so&#8230; I&#8217;ll see you again soon :3</p>
<p>Buh-bye, kids! :heart:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was discussing with my father this afternoon, after doing homework, and at certain point we came to talk about personal injury claims. Since one of my human friends was denied payment from being hit by a car while he was having a ride on his bike (and he was passing on the white bands for pedestrians, so it was surely his civil right to get paid for the accident!) and is still dealing with the recovering (he broke his leg) and the one who caused the accident seems to have too good of an alibi T_T *sigh* Well&#8230; I seriously wish this was the UK, you know? At least, there things work properly. Especially with legal claim companies like <u>firstpersonalinjury.co.uk</u>. Bicycle accident claims are taken very serious by them, since when one gets involved in an accident and it&#8217;s not their fault, it&#8217;s their <em>right</em> to make an accident claim. The lawyers from this company are very serious, and they usually win the majority of cases, so they&#8217;re pretty trustworthy. <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Time for the claim shouldn&#8217;t take more than a few months if the accident wasn&#8217;t very serious, otherwise it can take longer, but the handling of all the claim process is on the company&#8217;s shoulders, so a person can just relax and let them do their job. Dad told me he likes this company very much, and I surely can&#8217;t blame him. As for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.firstpersonalinjury.co.uk/accident/whiplash/index.html">whiplash injury claims</a>, dad said, they can get very serious and it&#8217;s just unfair that some people who caused them can just run away and pass like they&#8217;re innocent T_T Gladly, the lawyers of <u>firstpersonalinjury.co.uk</u> won&#8217;t take the thing with such a shameful superficiality. They&#8217;d fight &#8217;till the end to ensure the victim of the accident gets his/her compensation. I wish lawyers were so worthy of trust even here in my area <img src='http://pockybox.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  After all, <strong>what is right is right</strong>. And we medics know, since we take care of people who had their life ruined by idiots.</p>
