This is a great video that reminds us of the unconditional love that most parents have for their own offspring, and how children can sometimes take their parents for granted
The father in this scene, is sitting with his son, probably at some park or garden.
Then every few seconds, as a swallow flys by, the father will ask his son "What is that?"
The initial couple of times, the son answers the father, telling him that it's a swallow.
Despite this, the father still asks the same question, seemingly very forgetful.
Very quickly, the son gets annoyed, and ultimately bursts in anger and screams at his father.
At this point, the father went into their home and came back with his diary, to which he flips to a page, and asks his son to read.
So the son reads out aloud, only to realize that it was an entry back when he himself was a little child where there was a particular occasion when he asked his father a total of no less than 21 times "What is that?" each time a swallow flew past. And after patiently giving the same answer each time, the father would hug his son and be so grateful and loving.
This sent a loud and clear message to the son that his father loves him very much, and only wishes for the same.

Sound of Music | Central Station Antwerp (Belgium)
Trust the creative minds to come up with something so awesome!
Who'd have thought a song from donkey years ago could be the center of attention in this Central Station in Belgium?
It seemed like any other day at this busy station, and out of nowhere, the "Sound of Music" started playing.
A couple of supposed passers-by started to dance along with the song...too good to be un-rehearsed.
But every time you thought that's all the people involved, someone amongst the crowd joins them.
This keeps going on as the song gets deeper into its length, and before you know it, over 200 dancers are in the entire performance!
And just when I thought the song was over, it morphed into an upbeat, remix version of the original song, and the crew continued!
The rest of the bystanders were watching happily, excited faces gathered around to watch this highly innovative and entertaining spectacle.
Needless to say, the dance ended with an enormous round of applause.
This kinda stuff makes life fun :)

Hilarious Heineken Commercial TV Ad
When I first saw this Heineken Ad on TV, I thought it was really corny, genius, smart, hilarious!
The best thing about this commercial is how they use GUYS to behave like GALS when they get all excited about something.
Ok, so it's a little stereo-typical, but you have to admit it's so funny; how ladies always squeal at the top of their voices, jump / hop up and down and wave their hands frantically in the air when they're over-zealous.
So in this television ad about the popular beer, Heineken, a couple are having some kind of party or housewarming at their place, and the scene shows the lady owner (wife or girlfriend I presume) showing her girlfriends around the place, before finally surprising them with her brand new spankingly huge walk in closet.
Needless to say, her bffs are hysterical and simply can't believe their eyes.
Amidst their girlie screams, someone in the background, they can hear more screams coming from another room in the house. With a puzzled look on their collective faces, they all wonder what could be more exciting then a huge walk in closet chock full of designer clothing, branded shoes and accessories.
Lo and behold, the next scene shows the husband, together with his guys friends all squealing with excitement in what seems to be another walk-in closet. Only this time round, instead of clothes and footwear, it's stacked up with....bottles and bottles of Heineken Beer!
Good one!

Saving GAIA before the End of The World
This is an eye-opening talk by Shai Agassi of "Better Place".
He shares this urgent message about what we, the world, must do asap if we want to slow down the destruction of Mother Earth.
He shows how this might be done partially by changing motor cars for electric ones.
It's startling to know how quickly the earth's crude oil supply is being depleted, and how the actions we take as a whole are really self-destructing.
Not taking into account China, India and Russia, we are producing motor cars by the MILLIONS every single year, blindly adding to the already severe CO2 or carbon dioxide emission problem.
If there is no fundamental change, no paradigm shift in how we treat this planet, extinction can only draw ever closer by the second.
That's why "Better Place" is approaching car companies and even countries to adopt electric cars on a massive scale, at a nation-wide level.
I believe that despite present supposed limitations that make this change seemingly inconvenient, we don't have any more time to waste.
Let's do our part to save the world.

Nathan "Flutebox" Lee and Beardyman - Beatbox
I thought I've seen enough beatboxing to want to sit through watching another bunch of wannabes do weird stuff with their mouths.
But I must say I was blown away when I saw Nathan Lee do it...together with a flute!
Hence his nickname / stage name "Flutebox". Pretty cool stuff huh!
Of course, Beardyman was no less as impressive as well; his combination of rapping, singing (different styles even!) and beatboxing was really quite unique.
Rubber lips anyone? ;)

Independence Day President's Inspirational Speech
Can't believe I can still remember this movie from back in 1996...man, that's 13 years ago!
In Independence Day, the one where space invaders decide to take over the world, the human race has decided to come together and fight back, despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
So the night before the "last burst of fire", the President of the United States (played by Bill Pullman) gives a really inspirational speech to motivate those who have bravely gathered to fight against the E.T.s.
It's true what he said, that in a situation like this, the phrase "human race" really has a whole new meaning altogether.
Of course, after the speech, the fighters kicked the asses of the aliens, together with Will Smith's character, by managing to find the spaceships weak spot, and blasting them back into space.
I think this is the movie that always made me feel that earth should really be attacked by aliens, just so that we'd stop fighting EACH OTHER. We humans are so primitive that we fight...non-stop...with each other...for any reason we can conjure up.
So we should get our arses whooped a little by the little green men from Mars. Perhaps only when we realize that there are Martians out there that can really threaten our existence, then we puny earthlings just might stick together.
