Rome

Capitoline Wolf suckles the infant twins Romulus and Remus

Villa Borghese: the 19th century "Temple of Aesculapius" built purely as a landscape feature, influenced by the lake at Stourhead, Wiltshire, England.

The Trivia Fountain


Rome's history as a city spans over two and a half thousand years, as one of the founding cities of Western Civilisation. Even outside of the history of the Roman empire, Rome has a significant place in the story of Christianity up to the present day, for it endures as the home of the papacy. The worldwide Roman Catholic Church is administered from the Vatican City, run by the Holy See as an independent enclave and the world's smallest sovereign state.

Rome's early history is shrouded in legend. According to Roman tradition, the city was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus on April 21, 753 BC.Archaeological evidence supports the view that Rome grew from pastoral settlements on the Palatine Hill built in the area of the future Roman Forum. While some archaeologists argue that Rome was indeed founded in the middle of the 8th century BC, the date is subject to controversy.The original settlement developed into the capital of the Roman Kingdom (ruled by a succession of seven kings, according to tradition), and then the Roman Republic (from 510 BC, governed by the Senate), and finally the Roman Empire (from 27 BC, ruled by an Emperor). This success depended on military conquest, commercial predominance, as well as selective assimilation of neighbouring civilisations, most notably the Etruscans and Greeks. From its foundation Rome, although losing occasional battles, had been undefeated in war until 386 BC, when it was briefly occupied by the Gauls. According to the legend, the Gauls offered to deliver Rome back to its people for a thousand pounds of gold, but the Romans refused, preferring to take back their city by force of arms rather than ever admitting defeat, after which the Romans recovered the city in the same year.

Medieval

Often overlooked, Rome's medieval heritage is one of the largest in Italian cities. Basilicas dating from the
Paleochristian age include Santa Maria Maggiore and San Paolo Fuori le Mura (the latter largely rebuilt in the 19th century), both housing precious 4th century AD mosaics. Later notable medieval mosaic and fresco art can be also found in the churches of Santa Maria in Trastevere, Santi Quattro Coronati and Santa Prassede. Lay buildings include a number of towers, the largest being the Torre delle Milizie and the Torre dei Conti, both next the Roman Forum, and the huge staircase leading to the basilica of Santa Maria in Ara Coeli.

True Friends

Me, Brenda and Samantha!





With Shirley!

My only true friends in my life!









I wonder what is the real essence of the saying


"A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed"?


People always talk about the true value of friendship
without knowing wat it stands for...


True Friends don't laugh at you when you get new glasses...
True Friends help you up when you're in trouble ...
And True Friends never let you do something you'll regret ...


Best friends need not meet up often
to make sure that the friendship remains constant.
The trust between best friends is such that
if one friend falls in trouble,
the other will not think twice to help.
This is call true friend..


True friendship never fades away;
in fact it grows better with time.
True friends don't need a posh place to hang out.
Their most precious hideout is each others' rooms!


A true friend,
is someone who will be there,
promises to stay,
no matter what,
no matter when.


A true friend,
is someone who volunteers to lend you a listening ear,
and a crying shoulder,
no matter how they feel themselves,
no matter when it is.


True friend is forever...
its like our family members...
once...you loss it..
There's noother way..
you can get it back again..


so...apprecite you friendship..


True Friend- Hannah Montana


We sign our cards and letters BFF
You've got a million ways to make me laugh
You're lookin' out for me; you've got my back
It's so good to have you around
You know the secrets I could never tell
And when I'm quiet you break through my shell
Don't feel the need to do a rebel yell
Cause you keep my feet on the ground


You're a true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again
You're a true friend
You don't get angry when I change the plans
Somehow you're never out of second chances
Won't say "I told you" when I'm wrong again
I'm so lucky that I've found


A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again

True friends will go to the ends of the earth
Till they find the thing you need
Friends hang on through the ups and the downs
Cause they've got someone to believe in


A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
No need to pretend


You're a true friend
You're here till the end
Pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again



You're a true friend [3x]




Amen



Vacation is just around the corner...
I've finish my PMR examination recently..
felt relief..and...after all.. LAME!!

Arghh...Watever!
Everyday juz stay at home...sleeping..reading..watching tv..
hanging out with friends are juz lame...
everytime go The sPring and Boulevard..
Really hyperlame...
After all..life is juz like this..Lame..


People are unfair!!
I hate being like this...
People are tremendous...
I wish schools are exception...
but it is no longer the same anymore...
Innocence people are hard to find...
Its no longer full of crime and punishment..
Why do people want to suffer like this...

can't we juz live in an atmosphere..
with harmony..joy and fun...
and together..we'll get to meet one another in the heaven..

Is this impossible?!

Perhaps..

People are arrogant...
often look down other people...
and finally causes war..
between races and countries...

Is this worth?

Do you think its worth to sacrifice so many lifes...
juz to satisfy...ur Anger...??!!

As the bible say we need to be long-suffering..
Its not like we suffer...
but be patient..

Be consederate..people...

as God forgive us our dept..

and we forgive our deptors...


THE LORD'S PRAYER

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

Hallow'd be Thy Name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be doneOn earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil,

For Thine is the kingdom

And the power, and the glory, forever.

Amen.

iHaTe Be Cool!

I Just don't understand why ppl always say be cool...

Are they really trying to be cool...
Sometimes just because you like something which they think its not cool..
Ppl try to ignore you... Treat you like you're an alien..
But have they even ever think about themself??!!

What's the actual meaning of be cool...
And whats the purpose of being cool...
to become popular??!!
Shit!!!

Can you imagine a bunch of idiot teenagers...
Wearing some old fashion..stupid clothes..
Asking ppl to be cool?! What the heck?!

Who do they think they are?!
The Beetles?!
I doubt that.. Anyone got convince... yucks...
Well... I personally... likes fashion..and knw it..
Just that i don apply it...
Bullshit... just because of that they think I'm not capable??!!

Haven't them heard of an idiom...
Don't judge a book by its cover...

Why do ppl always try to change their characteristics and personalities....
and so be cool...
yicks... this is so obnoxious...

Haven they knw that...
God created every single one of us with different characteristic and personalities....
and each are different... We're so apecial.. And what be cool..
Its no point..and totally meaningless...

XOXO
