Hi. I "still" belong to one of the ethnic group and I am proud of it even though people assumed that I am some kind of uncivilized creature.

It was not easy getting back to writing when some people that you know or whom you knew through your friends or your friends' friends keep sending those hate mails in response to what you have written. That was what had happened to me those past few months. People blasted me for my opinions especially on my two articles on Helium http://www.helium.com/items/1048741-marriage-should-be-a-sac red-institution-between-only-a-woman-and-a-man and http://www.helium.com/items/1073086-should-smoking-be-allowe d-in-public-places

Some cursed me, hoping that my children will all be chained smokers and if my children really choose to smoke, well, what could I say. I could only hope that they would be considerate in lighting up in front of others especially those who do not smoke as I really do not like inconsiderate smokers. Some "advised" me to just go back to where I came from (they assumed that I came from deep in the jungle, staying in a tree house with the Orang Utans and out of touch with the current world issues). Some "sneered" and implied that a jungle bird like me should have never even dare to dream of flying with the "Eagles". Well, if the Eagles are willing to give me the opportunity and some space for me to fly, why not take the opportunity. As to whether I would make it or break it would be another issue.

I understand perfectly well that these people are high-income earners with good social status while as I am only earning peanuts on Helium but I do take my writing seriously. Those emails may drag me down for a while but I will be back.

Health & Fitness > Exercise Tips Is jogging on roads safe?

8 of 26

Fine, nothing in life is 100% safe and accident could happen to any one, at any time, any place but bear in mind, why do we want to jog in the first place? Isn't it to keep our body healthy? Roadside is not only an accident-prone area no matter how careful we might be to avoid getting too close to the road but we cannot control how the drivers maneuver their vehicles. So before you head to the roadside, maybe you should take more time to reconsider the followings:-

The sidewalks are for pedestrians irrespective of age or gender. Some might be the elderly using walking sticks or mothers p...
