The View 

For better or for worse, I am a Mind’s Eye. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been called upon that stage. And I’m about to discover what my power is. Now that is not normal for a teenage girl. I had to admit I was all sweats when Ms. Cleanor called my name. 

“Klause, Ishnoya”

I stepped pass the white line. Every time when a student passes that line, it glows for a second and then comes back to normal. Later, I found out that it was a high tech device to identify and confirm students with finger print scanning, DNA probing, Retina identification, blood grouping and brain activity detectors within one tenth of a second. Obviously, it was an invention from the future foreseen by Ms. Cleanor. I guess Cher’s long term question about Ms. Cleanor was answered when she passed the line. 

“Stand on the X spot marked, Ishnoya and state clearly everything you see. Take your time if you need.” 

Ms. Cleanor’s voice was like a distant siren horn inside my head now. I was never a stage person in my life. Audience makes me break into sweats and shakes. This was no difference. I guess Ms. Cleanor felt that too. She took a deep breath and touched my right shoulder. For a minute, I thought she is falling asleep but then she opened her eyes with two quick blinks and stared at me. 

“I know I’m panicked!!!” My head was yelling at her. But she continued to stare and slowly told me to take a deep breath and forget everything else and gaze into the sky.

Power Unleashed

“Did you see the notice on the Powerplay?” 

Cher ambushed me and Freya early in the morning on a shiny fine day from our second month at White Lotus. Powerplay is the main notice board displayed near the Headmistress’ Office. It only displays notices that are of utter importance to the whole school and so was this. 

“We are starting training out powers from 5th period onwards. Today is the first day and Head Mistress Cleanor herself is turning up to mentor us. I was always tuning into see what her power is and think of it, finally we can see it ourselves. Whoops! I almost forgot. There will be Power ID tests for everyone and you can find out what yours is Ish.” Said Cher.

“Yeah, I guess.” 

And all of a sudden I was not looking forward for the very moment I’ve been looking forward since I discovered that I have Mind’s Eye genes. What if it is something less useful? Less cool?? Or may be useless…. Or it could be dangerous. Or that I don’t have a power and these people are mistaken. My mind was suddenly busy throughout the whole morning session and I didn’t even feel the end of Interval bell. That was our call to line up at Assembly Arena aka at the moment when training is conducted, Camp.

Think More on Earth Day....

Each year we celebrate some sort of a cause or a fact on a specific day because of the importance of it to us. For the same importance calculated worldwide, April 22nd is regarded as the International Mother Earth Day. There is a reason why we all call our planet Mother Earth. Unlike many great scientific discoveries, Earth and its life must have been the most inspiring discovery of all. Darwin explained us the theory of evolution which is a process that is well observed and executed by our mother nature itself. Man, that means us is known to be the most intelligent of all species is also a creation by Mother Nature. Therefore, it is our responsibility as the ones with the brains to look after our creator as well as those others Mother Earth has created otherwise, we must not forget that our destruction lie within the near future.

Earth Day 2012, Mobilize the Earth falls on today as it celebrates its 42nd anniversary since its conception in 1969. This year's theme revolves around the idea to raise awareness globally about our planet Earth and its environmental concerns that had been masked due to other matters like recession. Also they hope to impact global community with the idea that "Earth will not wait" which in mine as well as many others' opinions is true. Since primary school, we are taught that there will be major environmental problems in the future. That was before the millennium. And now we are over a decade from the millennium and most of the countries in the world have started to feel what we learnt at school. Global warming, Increase in Green House gases, Depletion of the Ozone layer, Melting of polar ice caps, Increase in sea level etc. the list could go on and on and yet won't stop.

Your Hair.... An asset or a liability?????

Howdy all the readers out there. It's been awhile since our last post. I must say time is something hard and very rare to find these days but some how, we've managed to buzz in some interesting topics this season too. We often consider ourselves to be presentable in a manner concerning our looks. Mostly that depends on how well you took care of your inside, your hair and your skin. Out of the three, the second; your hair could be the first and foremost factor that draws attention to you because in my opinion, hair is actually who you are and what you want to be.....

Your hair, an asset or a liability?? This can be a question to may depending on what type of a hair you've got. Thanks to all the good genes of my parents, I and my sister have inherited naturally straight hair. When I say naturally straight, to my great happiness, many consider it's rare kind of a straightness with unique beauty. And that's some asset I can be really happy about. But no pressure to those who have average hair because, having average hair does not matter but how well you make use of it does. Make it an asset or a liability- the choice is in your hands. Typically these are several types of hair you get to see. There's straight hair and then the curly hair. Again we can subdivide these two groups as in extreme straightness to mild and slight. Same goes to the curly hair. These are small nice curls and then there are fuzzy kinds of curls.
