Aggie Vet in Training: This World...

I just watched a youtube video about an Iranian girl (Neda) who was shot and killed in front of a camera, in less than 60 seconds. the video was shot in the past week, during the Iranian election fallout. I think pictures from the same incident made to many other medias...I debated a lot with myself whether I should post the video on the blog, at last I decided not to. To me, it is more shocking than anything else. But I think for most people, it is too bloody to watch. Neda means “voice” in farsi, and it became the symbol for the protest movement. The young teenage girl died in the arms of her howling father.

At least something good is happening on the other side of the world. I became a fan of a man called “waterman” from the Taiwanese Yahoo blog. Long story short, back in April of last year, this “Waterman” became a huge HIT in Taiwan. He wears a mask, looks like Ultraman from Japan. You might think he is nuts (in fact I thought that he is crazy when I first reading his blog). But he calls himself “Waterman”, and his motto is “drink more water, and help more people”. Last April, he started this project to help one group of people (or do one projectfor the community) per day, and do it for 15 days straight. Everyone can submit request to him, and he will do anything, I really mean ANYTHING... When he first started, no one was really paying attention, and he was doing it by himself. At the end of 15th day, his blog has over 10,000 daily viewers, and “he” is acting as a group, recruited many people to help, everywhere. It is an amazing act, and this year, he is still the same man. And released his album (yes, I mean, singing album, CD!!!) – I AM Waterman. Every single penny sold on the album will be donated to charity organization. People had asked him “who is waterman”, his answer was “look into the mirror yourself, that is waterman”. I admire his action, and applause to his thought. I like the fact that he is doing something out of his kind heart, and all he wants is to help people (and be eco-friendly as well). Nobody really knows who the real “waterman” is, I think he represent a concept, an idea, to help people, and make this world a better world.

If I ran out of thought to say, I think I might come back to talk more about him…
