Dalai Lama

From Wiki: The Dalai Lama is the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people according to Tibetan Buddhism. Often referred to simply as “His Holiness” (HH), or “His Holiness The Dalai Lama”, Tibetans usually call the Dalai Lama by the epithets Gyalwa Rinpoche, meaning “Precious Victor”, or Yishin Norbu, meaning “Wish-fulfilling Jewel.” “Lama” (meaning “teacher”) is a title given to many different ranks of Tibetan Buddhist clergy.

The Dalai Lama is believed to be the current incarnation of a long line of Tulkus, or Buddhist Masters, who have become exempt from the wheel of death and rebirth. These ascended masters have chosen of their own free will to be reborn to this plane in order to teach humanity.

The influential, exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is currently admitted in a private Indian Hospital. The 73-year-old leader was taken to hospital in Mumbai on Thursday after complaining of “abdominal discomfort,” according to his aides.

Nike has once again proven its supremacy in terms of athletic wear globally. The current 2008 Beijing Olympics is a testament to how huge Nike has been. Their Hyperdunk Olympic series scheme was definitely a hit. Now every baller longs to have a pair of Hyperdunk of his own. Looking at the shoe itself, it’s very simple in terms of looks and design. Not as flashy as other models. What I like most about this is its weight. It’s so light for the feet.

It’s been awhile

More than a month of inactivity-No posts, in fact, I didn’t even bother to visit this blog of mine despite being online everyday. I got very busy (still busy) with my thesis. Also, I was really dismayed when my money maker blog got wrecked!*sigh

Out of nothing, I checked my account over at WordPress. I’m very happy with the status of this blog. Surprisingly I still have good number of unique visitors. I think my sensible posts and relevant issues tackled really paid off.

I was also surprised with my Google PageRank. From 0 to 4! wOw! However, it is not that rewarding because this isn’t really an income generator blog. I’m just happy that this young blog of mine has collected a crowd.

Thanks everyone! :)
