Blood Donation

Dear readers,

It was just another manic Tuesday when I received an email about a Blood Donation Drive at work. You know what they say, that “a picture tells a thousand words”. I personally agree with that statement myself. This is what I call powerful advertising.

Simple and straight to the point

I especially like the picture of the blood droplet with bulging biceps. Not only that, the pink shade also signifies a healthy complexion. This dude did not get his biceps by eating protein bars and pumping up irons in the gym. No way! He had definitely done it by donating blood. This has inspired me to be a donor as well.

Well, I will keep you posted on the events on that day. See you soon.

It was all so confusing as nobody knew if their project was accepted or rejected. My presentation was on the last day, so you could very well imagine the chaos. The second time I took this subject, ...

Pride & Prejudice

Finally, Pride and Prejudice on the big screen! My all time favorite Jane Austen novel. No doubt that there would have been older remakes, both movies and dramas but a newer version is always welcomed. They have been other Austen movies on the big screen as well, namely, Emma, Sense & Sensibility and Mansfield Park. Personally, Emma was adapted well into a screenplay but Sense & Sensibility was a flop. The book itself, to begin with, lacked some personality and that impeccable Austen humour evident in her other books. Pride and Prejudice has a set of well developed characters especially the two main characters Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. There was a mini series in 1995 if I am not mistaken, with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. He played the role superbly well, potraying Mr Darcy as a cold, insensitive and arrogant man. He is actually a pretty nice guy but only around his family and close friends. An encounter with Miss Bennet however, opened his eyes to the flaws ...
