"24" - Respect!!

THE FOLLOWING TAKES PLACE BETWEEN 1AM AND 3AM
:-)

well... ya, that's the event that happened between this 2 hours, on day 5!!

2+1 men, that I want to mention :-)
The secretary of DOD, :-( (Crying out loud and salute to him!!)
James Heller, he didn't listen to Jack, but thought that, he could convince President Charles Logan to quietly step down. However at the very last minute, when Henderson manage to get the evidence that will implicate Logan, Logan changed face, and in return, force Heller to resign.
On the way out from the Presidential Retreat, Heller was followed by a chopper. Henderson told Jack that, if he's not safe, with the evidence, the people on the chopper will shoot Heller...
Jack called Heller who's driving, to confirm what Henderson had just said... and not to put Jack in the difficult situation, while admitting that it's his fault that he didn't listen to Jack and caused such difficult situation, he drove himself out to the cliff into the late... in that 1/2 a minute... decision making is fast... even too fast for Jack to take any reaction.
What a respectable military man!!! hai...

Man No.2, the pilot of the diplomatic flight, 520
His response to Jack's demand is very strict, but respectable... he didn't bother to waste time to talk to, or negotiate with Jack, simply he didn't think that Jack was genuine that time. Come on!! Jack hijacked the plane... haha... it's cute, cos, he, Jack, himself spoke and acted like a terrorist.. that's cute!!
Jack told the pilot that he's a federal agent, and there's something that will implicate the national security on the plane and he needs to find out the person. The pilot just told him, he'll still fly the plane back to the airport, according to protocal, and if Jack IS a federal agent, he'll know what to do, and cut off the line...
Then, when Jack found out that, it's the co-pilot, who's having the evidence (that Henderson passed to him earlier on, right after he took it from Jack) and told him that, this co-pilot is changed the last minute before the plane took off...
Being a man with brain and heart, he confirmed the fact himself.. and quietly, good-timingly, opened the latch of the pilot cabin door... and let Jack in!! hurray!!!

ok,
another man!! Bill Buchanan..
this is what my brother posted to me... :-) anybody interested??

Anyway, just thought that, when he's kicked out of the CTU office, by the homeland people, scenes involving him, and especially when Chloe went to his house to continue helping Jack, who is, at that time, hijacking the plane, is kinda cute... :-)

Kind ~ Happy

I once came across an article (oops... which I am not sure if I have mentioned over my blogs before or not)
it says...
"the more kind-hearted a person is, the happier that person is"

Well... what I am going to say is... mm... not because after reading that sentence and that it changes my mind, but rather... I have somehow agreed to what the sentence is saying, and that, when I came across this very sentence... BLINK!!

Another friend, long time ago, told me, if you're angry, or unhappy, you're merely taking other's mistake to upset yourself...
So... why looking into other's mistake, and make ourselves unhappy, and angry..
mm... I guess, it's solely because of this "I" that's making the whole world so miserable...
Sometimes, even we perform those so-called great deed, or self-sacrification deeds, it's simply for a self-jusdification... most of the time, we still think about ourselves, then, we perform those deeds...
"mm... if I don't do it, I am a bad person"
"mm... if I do it, people will think that I am good"
"mm... mum/teacher taught me, in such circumstances, I have to do this"
"mm..."

side dish: there's one story of Dr.House, where a voluteering/world doctor (who's also kind of a star or wellknow doctor or something) caught an unknown dicease when he's in Africa. When that doctor was being hospitalized, he kept wanting to go back to work, and insisted that, without him, so many other people in Afrida will die. Everybody thought that he's important. Of course, here come the sarcastic Dr.House who'll just pick on him, and try to find out something 'negative' about this world doctor and try to make his life difficult, even thought he's HIS patient. When people argue that, this world doctor is really very important, to the whole word, such a VIP person, cos, he saves many people's life, Dr.House just answered, "so, you're saying that, McDonald is more important than your mother" :-) kaka, I like that!!

Anyway... that is out of the topic...
(Let me drive back to the correct lane first)
Ok..

Ya... just now, when I was doing some housechores, I suddenly started to think...
mm... ya... I am not happy, simply because I'm a sinful person...
isn't that very true...???
I think, I am sinful, because, I pick on others, I see their bad habits rather than their good side...
I therefore, not forgive them, and keep linger on how bad they are, and make myself more and more unhappy...
and throughout the days and nights, I tell myself more and more, to justify my feeling... then comes one day..
I don't feel THAT unhappy anymore, and I finally reach a conclusion that, I am the victim, and that I am actually right, and that the person is actually the evil/bad one... and so on...
and then one day.. my heart is rotten, and hardened... and YAY!! I'm deep down in the pit of sin...

That's why, I started to think... that 2 sentences that I mentioned...

My mother is a very happy and cheerful and err.. blur lady... why??
becuase, I can see that she forgives, and she forgives and then, she forgives...
and then, she prays... her life doens't belong to herself anymore, and... "she" doesn't belong to herself anymore...

Even though sometimes... this type of people with such characters, may irritates you..
but then... deep down in my heart, I know that, it's simply because it's a place I can't reach, it's a place I don't understand... and that, it challenges my "I" status.. and that somehow makes me upset...
see... that's the thing... cos, I'm a sinful person, so, I keep feeling unhappy, sometimes...

mm...
therefore I started to think again... and again...
if you're feeling unhappy...
look into the mirror, touch your heart, ask "what's wrong with you??"
rather than sitting down there, talking loud about your principle..
and start counting how much the world owe you and upset you...

my opinion is...
the world(a.k.a. people/things/happenings around you) will continue to upset you, regardless to zillionth, you have counted...
however... looking into the mirror, touching your own heart, and pray...
it's a simpler thing to to :-) (I am a lazy person)
what happened to the world's wrong-doing.. doens't really matter...
what matters is what's happening inside you...
inside me...

WEBLog

I didn't know when it's actually started, what I learnt is it's an evolution...
It used to be geocities and some other service provider, providing you a space where you can build your own website and so on...
then... now, it's evolved to become a place for networking... networking with friends, friends' friends, and so on... and suddenly the whole world is connected in 1 place...
I mean, world of friends...

I personally like to read my friends' blogs... I used to be thinking that... people like to read other's blog it's becuase of err... curiosity, and human's nature of peeping into other's business... secret... and so on...
however... well... I know, I don't have a bunch of moron friends, who'll really simply post anything harmful, or x-rated, or foolish on their own blog.. and most of the time, I know that, they really think properly before putting them down into words, and they really do their best to write a sincere sentence...

Therefore, I like to read them...
to know what they're up to recently...
to know what's bothering their mind recently...
to know what they're happy about or sad about recently..
(providing if they do write on a regular basis...) but it's thrill to see them writing... again, it's not because I think that I get a chance to peep into their dark secret,
it's because, I know that, they've finally 'matured' their thinking and willing to open it up to friends... ya.... friends...
and then... after reading, I will always think that... ooh.... she/he's back to normal again :-)

Isn't that amazing, it's so private but yet, it's so opened...
It's a funny place to be in, and well... I guess... the bottom line is... somehow we do have a little 'feeling lonely me' inside ourselves...
which we want to say out, but couldn't...
which we want others to know, but we're not sure how others will think about us...
or, simply, which.. at that time, at that place, there isn't anybody there to listen to us...
therefore, we transform our thought, our energy into words...
unless you're a real psychotic person, so far... I haven't really seen these words, meant to be sword, to kill the reader...
what I feel when I was reading them is...
"know me, I want you to know me... understand what I feel"

it's a space of words, practically words, and words, but it's also a place of feelings...
if you're really you friend's blog, rather than peeping into other's business :-)

24 - Tony died, OFFICIALLY!! CRYING OUT LOUD!!

Ah~~~~~~~~~~~ (Big Loud Cry!!!!!!)
Tony died, Tony died!!!!!!!!
I knew it, but I don't want to see it!!!
Poor Tony, when he's finally awake, he found out that Michelle is DECEASED!!
When he's kinda awake and wanted to kill Hendersen, Jack stopped him!!!

Just like the terrorists should never underestimate Jack, CTU and Jack should never ever underestimate Henderson...
Come on!! Henderson is the one who recruited Jack and trained Jack, they're just like each other...

Tony shouldn't have hesitated to kill Henderson!! (Cry!!) and it's because of that split second's hesitation,
Cost his own life... Bloody Henderson, (he's just like Jack, after being tortured to near-death, he's still able to recover and jump around!!) turned around and forced the syringe that's in Tony's hand back to his own neck!!
Wa~~~~~~~~~~ ""(*0*)"" CRY!!!!!!

Poor Jack, he lost one of his mates AGAIN!! ""(*0*)"" CRY!!!!!!

Anyway.. this episode (these 2 episodes, 7-9pm, HA HA! TV here has been airing Supersized '24' to the viewers, what a pamper, and less torture!) is quite a shocking episode,
ie. we heard that, Audrey Raines was the one who sold the schemetic to the International Intelligence Broker (what a good job) and "everybody has a price", Oh!! but Jack said, he's not 'sellable', that's cute! :-)
ie. Lynn McGill died, of good cause... :-( well... I scolded him, when he didn't bother to report that his keycard was taken away, just to save face, but then... it's still sad seeing that he's to die, exposing himself to the nerve gas, to save the rest of the people... like the guard who's with him (he also died in the same event) said to him, "you caused 40-50 people dead, just because you don't want to be embarrassed??", yes, Lynn died, and yes, I felt sympathetic about him :"-(
ie. Jack tried to strangle Barry, and accused him of taking advantage on the stupid daughter Kim, haha!! that's cute!! ya... Barry is soooooo important, cause "he's there when nobody was"---Cheh!! This woman really has never failed to piss me off!!
ie. Wayne Palmer is up to something, but I'm not sure why of all people he has to tell Aaron, rather than Jack??

Well.. wait and see!! :-)

24 - Logan & Edgar

Yesterday's '24', it's from 5pm-7pm...
I guess... this season (season 5) of '24' is more... err.. emotional... at least, it's more emotional for me...
it's really quite 'heart breaking' when I saw Edgar coming out from the basement, looking at the bunch of 'survivor' (nerve gas survivor) in the sealed conference room, as it's sealed, so, the room cannot be opened anymore.. I guess, we all wish that the room can be opened again, and Edgar can come in and thus be saved, but no... he's dying... I guess... mm... after all the previous seasons, for once, '24' try to be a little bit emotional... or maybe it's because, for once, for this season, I don't rush through the season, and therefore, there's room to be emotional for me :-)

Previouly, I used to rush through the whole season, 1 hour/1 episode followed by another, tightly, and I could finish the whole season within 1 day, ya, just like I've gone through the full intense 24 hours myself... well... it's an experience.. as if, you're watching 'real time' :-) however... for this season (season 5), I have been watching it on the Australia National TV (Channel 7) and well... the TV broadcaster have been very kind to the audience. '24' is aired in supersized, ie. it's aired 2 hours per day, and 2 days per week, but only for 1 week of a month. ie. after the supersized week, the following week will be back to normal, ie. 1 hour per day, and then, followed by the next day's 1 hour... however, that's good enough for me... otherwise, once a week? come on? the suspense will kill me...

(just like season 3, when Chappelle has to be executed, by Jack Bauer, I didn't like Chappelle at all, he's more irritating than George Mason, and less comedic, but when Jack asked if he's any message or anything to say to some people, after thinking for a while, he actually shook his head and say 'no'. ie. How lonely this man is, and how sad his life is... as sometimes, we all think that, ah!! maybe one day we die, nobody will actually feel sad for us, but then... there WILL always be somebody who'll cry for our 'departure'. However, for Chappelle's case, it really seems to be NOBODY, that's very depressing!!)

Ah!!! and the irritating Kim Bauer is out again... why wasn't she killed by the nerve gas... sigh!!! I find it extremely irritating when she's not thrilled at the fact that her own father is in fact, still alive, and then, after that, she keep lingering on the fact that, the father didn't trust her, and didn't want to let her know that, he's in fact NOT DEAD!!! come on... we all know that, (after season 2, the one with the nuclear bomb threat, in that season, Jack told her not to tell people about the nuclear bomb threat, but then, she almost told everybody she met on her runninng-away route out of LA, come on!!!!)she's the most untrustable person on earth. And when she's even comparing herself with Chloe (the fact that Chloe knows that Jack is not dead) as who's more trustworthy... and Chloe gave her this answer... to shut her up, good work chloe, (I really feel like giving Kim a slap on her so-called beautiful face... nah!!!! Elisha Cubert doesn't look as pretty as when she's in 'The Gal Next Door' anymore, and her complexion deteriorate... serve her right!!) Chloe said to her, "Of all people who knows your father is still alive, half is dead, Palmer was assasinated, Michelle is dead, and Tony is in critical condition now. I am still standing here cos your father found me in time!!" and YES!!! stupid Kim shut up for a while, otherwise, she'll still continue to act as if she's so smart...

Oh!! Back to the topic.. well... I know (somehow I know, read from forum's threads) that Logan will be a bad guy... but, so far, I haven't found him as irritating and as useless as the previous season. He seems to have progressed a little bit. And having his wife, Martha around also helps improve the scenes with Logan... otherwise, like the previous season, there're several time, I really feel like throwing my TV remote control to the TV screen, to smash Logan's face... and recently, both Logan and the wife Martha, well.. both the actor and actresses are nominated for Emmy Awards Best Supporting Actor and Actresses... mm... well done, then!!

Mm... only one wish I have with '24', others die or not die throughout the 24 hours, doesn't matter (since my favourite Tony and Michelle will be dead and is already dead, but of course, I really hate to see Jack's close pals go away/die) but, I wish... hm... Kim will be dead soon :-)

Most irritating roles in '24', since season 1,
season 1 - Terri and Kim Bauer, like mother like daughter, I really can't stand their character as in, both of them are just so nosy, hm!! if Terri is less nosy, didn't sniff around in CTU, which she shouldn't at all, cos, she's just a common civilian, she won't be killed by Nina, and for Kim, same thing goes to her, Nina should have killed her there and then... (That's why, as opposed to MOST viewers of '24', I hate this season the most)
season 2 - Kim Bauer, and Shirley Palmer... Kim, never improves, and Shirley.. another woman who's so hunger of power, and do all the funny things to get it
season 3 - still, Shirley Palmer, good that, she's in the end, DEAD!!!
season 4 - I kinda like this season, even thou it's not that outstanding, cos, at least, all those irritating characters are gone, oh!! ya, now I remember, Audrey Raines... another cry baby, just like Terri, I don't know why, Jack always ended up with this type of women!!! hai...
season 5 - well.. so far so good, Audrey has proven to be much stronger and louder (I like the part she's yelling and arguing with Lynn, so different from the previous season, where she'll just sit there and cry) and she's not scared anymore, and won't disapprove anymore, when Jack 'needs' to torture to get information :-) ghee... Oh!! I like the part where Jack, scare, beat up, yell at Christopher Henderson, still can't get a word off Henderson, and this Henderson (of course, he's the one who recuited Jack into CTU and trained him, so, if we think Jack is good, Henderson, if not better, will be just as good as Jack, so, don't dream of getting any words out of him) keep challenging him to shoot him, then... oh!!! unexpectedly, Jack shot Miriam Henderson, on her uppper thigh... haha!!! that's thrill!! Jack's really a man of action!!! but of course, I guess Henderson knows that Jack is not a truly cruel man, even though he threaten to, but he WON'T kill Miriam, so, in the end... ya, Jack still didn't get anything out of Henderson... sigh...
