These “little toys” given us as dividends of technological advancements have turned out to be the pivot tool advancing many to their heaven or hell (Death; mentally and/or literally). To think there’s very little privacy left in our world today with the advent of social media, it saddens me to see people lose carelessly the little they still get opportunity to protect. Today there's hardly a thing you do without being monitored, tracked or STALKED . You were how old when you realized it is called "Following" for a reason, and what you basically need to do is click the “Follow” button to have yourself “followed” (hahahahaha!). It's true they say "if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear". But I tell you, you're better off with fear, than to find yourself stark naked, and left out in the cold.

Which are you? W hatsApp groups and their complexities, uniqueness and craze. There is no amount of words to describe the absurdity. They're fun, they're serious, they're up, they're done and they're mostly completely random...  We all belong to at least one category, even if we may not want to admit it. You will most definitely find these kinds of people in almost every Whatsapp group, no matter how hard you deny it. 1. Master of Irrelevancies There's always someone in the group who sends all the memes, videos, BCs, etc he/she sees that day. They send them in no particular order, and once we get tired and hit at them, they hide under the "you don't know who might be needing it" gist. We all know it's not going to be their last one no matter how hard we cry... 2. The Error Voicenote Dude There's always one person who's constantly sending voice notes, either because he or she is too lazy to type...

How Do Hurricanes Get Their Names? I had consistently wondered how and why storms and hurricanes were given names, and in most cases, human names.  My curiosity had driven me to ponder about so many possibilities.  Most recurrent of my thought was; perhaps the name of the first metereologist to discover or alert about the impending storm was often adopted. But I was wrong after all.  I never gave up my quest until I found convincing and satisfying answers. Answers I chose to share with you here.  " Storms are given short, distinctive names to  avoid confusion  and  streamline".  In the beginning, storms were named arbitrarily. An Atlantic storm that ripped off the mast of a boat named Antje became known as Antje's hurricane. Then the mid-1900's saw the start of the practice of using feminine names for storms.
