-an OD of Love-

I meant to write this a bit earlier since I saw this movie late last year but I had the time to watch it again and as the first time I saw it I realized again how much Bee Movie is a clever piece of first-rate entertainment. Though it doesn’t have quite the quality of some of Disney’s Pixar movies, it has plenty of glorious, colorful animation, exhilarating action, and a great story full of fresh, funny characters we haven’t seen before. There is plenty of comedy and action for children and teenagers, and there is also plenty of sharp wit for mature audiences, including parents and grandparents who want to share a day at the movies with their older children and grandchildren or watch it together on the small screen. Bee Movie has several positive messages. Barry’s parents have taught him that, when someone does something for you, you have to thank him. That’s what drives Barry to thank Vanessa for saving his life. Though Barry has a Romantic worldview (he wants to fulfill his personal

A quintet of sunny islands makes up the Republic of Malta, with its mild winters and hot summers. Malta, Gozo, and Comino are all inhabited--though with a mere handful of families, Comino only just qualifies. The remaining islands, Cominotto and Filfla, are for boat-trippers and seabirds. These Maltese islands take the top spot in the Climate category of our 2007 Quality of Life Index. As you know, once a year, every January, we consider nearly every nation on earth in a grueling set of nine categories. This year, our survey looks at 193 countries. And Malta has the best climate in the world. Fair weather, averaging 5.2 hours of sunshine a day--even in December. Right into November, daytime temperatures often nudge 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Spring comes early, around late February. Frost and snow are mostly unknown. There is winter rainfall, but it tends to come in heavy bursts for short periods. And, while the islands boast few sandy beaches, there are compensations: Summertime brings a

What can be held in a name? Name, a word of strangely combined letters it’s a call with the mysterious groups of letters. an allowance to rule our life. It yells out 'kill kill' the other guy, whose name is different It yells to 'separate' the other guy, don’t we have the same red blood But those letters were always the same... Always the same as the blood in our nerves But the order was somehow strange... as strange as the letters that make our names. We always failed to look in depth, to see the same letters everywhere but we are only seeing the differences and we are still quarrelling for some simple stupid orders . . .

Dear nationalist party candidate for the 1 st district, I still feel disappointed after 15 years and 4 general elections and one of the thing that let me down most is that no one ever took the time to hear my story and since this is free press here is my contemplation of the so many times that I was stupid enough to keep voting you even if your party kept cheating me. I always held tourism at heart and I still do so when I got my qualifications I looked forward to join what those days was the 4 year full time Diploma in Higher Hotel Management at the Institute of Tourism Studies, which had to lead to a degree at the Malta University. Funnily enough when your party went back to power this course change to a 2 year course leading to just a simple certificate. I worked in all departments of the catering business and I worked in positions where whenever I could I promote the Maltese islands, then again in 1996 I voted for you even if I had to register for the vat when I only used to try

Gemma was a legend. Very much doubt if she'll ever be equalled. It is the end of an era. Thank you for all the times you made us laugh, for all the wonderful & happy moments you gave us when you came into our homes on TV. Thank you for all you've done, you have always played the parts from heart. Your talent made all of us forget our daily problems; it put a smile and a laugh and even sometimes tears in our eyes. You will be missed by all but never forgotten. You will remain a landmark in the history of drama in Malta. May God grant you rest in peace Sahha Gemma!

No matter which party will be in government, in the next legislature, it is just a big gimmick to make us believe that we will be able to have cheaper electricity prices or any discount on surcharges in the next five years. Here's the article on Bloomberg site which reports that the price of each barrel will go up significantly within the next 5 years. ..

It was not to be a normal campaign for the youngest and one of the most talented women in Maltese parliament. She is not only one of the few women in parliament, but she is also Gozitan, young, as well as a married practicing lawyer, added to all that, she was eight months pregnant when the Prime Minister decided to call it a day on the previous legislature and kick off an electoral campaign. “It was different than five years ago when I first contested elections. This time round I was weighing 72 kilos, which is some 22 kilos over my normal weight, so one of the first problems was a mobility issue. I had to slow down even though I did not want to stop home visits and seeing clients. But there were moments when it had to be baby first,” says Justyne, when asked about her experience during the electoral campaign. Baby Josephine was born on 15 February, bang in the middle of the campaign. “It was a very important moment for me, yet difficult. It took me another week to recover and at that

The clock just struck half seven. It was still pitch dark outside; even the morning was not very enthusiastic about waking up. A quick glance at the temperature gauge in the car dashboard and he read that it was marking 5 degrees Celsius, outside the car. He was telling himself that it couldn't be so cold and that the gauge must be playing funny tricks. He tightened the jacket, grabbed the bag and he dashed quickly to the security officer’s office. The gauge in the car was working more then fine, it was freezing cold outside. He removed his right hand glove; put his now turned blue hand in the punch clock and as he pressed the key IN, the system read his hand. On his way out he was greeted by a large sign that reminded him how important security at work is. He placed the hard hat on and the reflective jacket. The tug boat has been pushing the cargo ship in the port for the last half an hour and the crew on both boats tried their outmost to help tracking in the large cargo sh
