Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs around the globe.
The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need.
Kiva partners with existing expert microfinance institutions. In doing so, we gain access to outstanding entrepreneurs from impoverished communities world-wide. Our partners are experts in choosing qualified entrepreneurs. That said, they are usually short on funds. Through Kiva, our partners upload their entrepreneur profiles directly to the site so you can lend to them. When you do, not only do you get a unique experience connecting to a specific entrepreneur on the other side of the planet, but our microfinance partners can do more of what they do, more efficiently.
Kiva provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform. We are constantly working to make the system more transparent to show how money flows throughout the entire cycle, and what effect it has on the people and institutions lending it, borrowing it, and managing it along the way. To do this, we are using the power of the internet to facilitate one-to-one connections that were previously prohibitively expensive. Child sponsorship has always been a high overhead business. Kiva creates a similar interpersonal connection at much lower costs due to the instant, inexpensive nature of internet delivery. The individuals featured on our website are real people who need a loan and are waiting for socially-minded individuals like you to lend them money.

Taken: A movie all fathers and all daugthers must watch!
It was amazing! I was told that it was gonna be a show like the TV series "Taken" and that humans are going to be abducted by aliens and such... Hence when the show started, I was intently look at Liam Nesson and wondering what's going to happen next to him and how it will associate with the alien-abduction plot. In fact, it has nothing to do with alient at all and I was getting slightly bored when he was buying the karaoke set for her daugther... I was anticipating the drama-melody kinda of sad and dry movie: He was standing there at her daugther's 17th birthday and his daughter got all excited when her step-father got her a pony and she dropped the karaoke set given by Liam and ran after the pony for a ride... Oh yes, Jean Grey was featured and her eyebrows were too long!!!
But to my surprise, the story came to a solid twist when he was deployed as a body guard for a popular singer by the name of "Sheerah". After her performance, while being escorted from back stage to the exit, hell broke loose and fans started running through the door. Secruity guards and her own escort group (including Liam) had to block the fans out. Liam and Sheerah was walking towards the exit when a man with knife tried to attack her but was easily blocked off by Liam.
It turned out that Liam's prior to retiree job was working for the government's secret service of sort, protecting important figures. His love for her daughter had brough him closee to her to watch over and protect her.
The story went on with his daughter and her friend going to Europe on the pretext of visiting musems but was actually trailing U2's Europe tour path. Once landed in the airport, they were hitched by this cute French guy and he suggested sharing cab. Situation arises when in fact the guy was a bait to check out their staying location. It turned out that this guy was working for a prositute sydnicate, abducting travel, young women, feed them with drugs and force them into prostitution.
The story drills further into the underground dark side of Paris, filled with silent bribery and sexual trade in place. All the way from the entry level prostitution (workers' mass market level) to the highest of all kind where premium biddings take place for the most "pure" women of the stock pile.
It was indeed gruesome when Liam guides you through the maze of sleazy places, rooms where women are stacked in sleazy beds, some in handcuffs, legs eagle spread (seems like after rounds of being "screwed") either the guys that held them captive or by the paying customers.
The actions were amazing by the way Liam used "situational" reactions to drill through the stcky maze of the syndicate. From close combat to tactical fights, to interrogation method (both deceptive and physical), to gun shoots, Liam has showed the tougher and more analytical side of him. This was much better that the one he starred in Star Wars, much better!
After the show, I regreted not completing my commando training when I was younger but begin to appreciate the tranquility of life Singapore offers. While Europe and other part of the developed worlds offer modernisation, it is sometimes compromised with the strong underground syndicates that weaved beneath. When my family was discussing about the show, we all agreed that such things will never happen in Singapore. Very comforting to know as I have 2 daughters... And one thing is for sure, they will NEVER EVER have the chance of traveling alone or with girls unless there are guys or fathers around...
Kodak moment...
A Kodak moment
Matt was gorgeous, funny and an incredible shag! It was our second night together and we were feeling a lot more comfortable with each other than the first. I’d bought a new mobile phone that day and was showing him the walkman function on it. He flicked it over to the camera mode and started taking pictures of us together. Mucking around, he decided it would incredibly funny if he took a photo of his erect dick! Marvelling at its beauty, as all boys probably do, he jokingly said “I think I’ll send this to myself as a momento!”. Looking up his number in my phone directory he scrolled down to ‘Matt’, which directly preceded ‘Mum’. Instead of highlighting Matt, he highlighted Mum and the rest is history. My mum woke up to a photo message from her daughter of her shag’s dick! And with today’s new technology it was ‘picture perfect quality’ leaving nothing to the imagination. How embarrassing!

Kitchen kitsch
While sharing a house with 2 single people my boyfriend and I took the opportunity of their absence for a ‘quickie’ in the kitchen. The bench proved an agreeable height to heighten my pleasure and the session ended in a collapsed heap on the living room floor. After a shower and change of clothes I went to the fridge for a refreshment when our flat mate tentatively appeared from her bedroom adjacent to the kitchen. With understandable shock I said, "Oh, Suzie, I didn't know you were home?" She replied with a cool, "OBVIOUSLY". There was nothing really I could say, and I didn't think asking her what she'd like for dinner was really going to help.Jane, 19

There is even a book on Sexcapades!

But as the deadline approaches, tension and their aggressive competitive personalities cause a rift in their relationship. Will their need for the promotion ruin their relationship forever?
Haha!
When I came up with the blog theme, i wanted to venture into 2 areas: Sex and X-men.
Guess what! Sexcapades is not new! So are the X-men!
Check out the following stories extracted from sextxt:
SEXCAPADES
Let’s be honest… Everyone has a tale to tell about an embarrassing sex moment – whether it happened to them, their friend, or to a ‘friend of a friend of a friend’!
It could be one of those moments where you blush from head to toe. Perhaps it might even be in the category of wishing the ground would just open up and swallow you whole. Or it could be classed as a life-changing event where you consider packing your bags, buying a one-way ticket and changing your name!
One positive out of these embarrassing sexcapades is that they provide hours of entertainment for your friends and for us! Appetizer for a start:
A helping hand
My boyfriend had come over after school to helping me with my homework assignment on the computer. It was far from a romantic experience so I decided to spice things up a little and slid my hand down his jeans for a bit of a quick hand job! He started to get into it just as I heard my mum’s footsteps walking up the hallway towards the study to see what we wanted for dinner. I quickly tried to yank my hand from out of his jeans but the large ring I always wore on my middle finger decided it didn’t want to leave and had somehow tangled itself in his pubes! My mum walked in, my hand was stuck down my boyfriend’s pants and there were red faces all round!Mia, 16

Bucket List and more...
My pre-emptive/ preventive bucklist (learnt from Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson):
- Live life and everyday to the fullest, like there is no tomorrow! Seriously!
- Have faith and determination! The rest is up to Him!
- Be contented with what you have! You most probably end up with nothing actually.
- Cherish your family members and friends, they are the only living miracles and beings there for you!
- Respect your elderly, cherish the young ones!
- Love lost, is perhaps the love that remains with you in all time!
- Have you found joy in your life? Have your life brought joy to others?
- Be financially wise, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"!
- After death, cremate or bury? If bury, make sure it comes with a bell. Cremate, make sure the water sizzler button is beside you.
- Health, wealth or love? You decide. But dont let only one comes in, choose the one that brings in all!

For the leader, it would be interesting to have a man who was seemingly the weakest of all, am in a wheelchair or with an aiding device.
But that man, Professor Charles Xavier, would have incredible mental powers and would be able to mould the others into a formidable fighting team.
For sheer strength, he created the Beast, but once again, to go against the usual cliche, he made him the most literate and eloquent of all in the team. Then, having always like the Fantastic Four's Human Touch, he thought it would be fun for the new group to include the exact opposite, Iceman. Add the winged, flying Angel, the telekinetically Marvel Girl, and the somewhat tragic Cyclops, who always had to wear the special goggles to shield his deadly eye beams, and you the the original X-Men - a far cry from the countless new and fantastic members that have been constantly added ot the world's most colourful cast of characters ever since those early days.

Sex and mutation!
Sex, I believe, has no need to contest for. We can talk about it later.
Mutation- you don't agree?
Mutation- you don't agree?
It was 1963, Marvel Comics had already bestowed 'The Fantastic Four', 'The Incredible Hulk', and 'Spider-Man' upon an unsuspecting though grateful world (then). But the comic-book-reading public's appetite proved to be insatiable. They demanded more, still more Super Heroes - and Stan Lee was determined to rise to the challenge.
Staring at his typewriter (typepad today), he endeavoured to create a team of yet another team of Super Heroes with unique powers. But even before dreaming up those powers, he knew that he had to explain where they came from.
You may recall that the Fantastic Four had been inundated by cosmic rays, the Hulk had been the victim of a massive gamma-ray explosion, and Spider-Man had been been bitten by a radioactive spider. That accounted for cosmic rays, gamma rays, and radioactive spider bites. But Stan Lee knew that he cound not keep hitting the public with constant barrage of rays and radiation.
An idea hit him; an idea that was simplicity itself and which guaranteed he did never have to worry about explaining the origin of a superpower again!
It hit him when he thought of the word 'mutant'. We all know that mutations occur in nature. For no apparent reason a frog will be born with three legs, or a banana will be the size of a watermelon, or a child prodigy will have the the ability to play Mozart at the age of three. And the beautiful thing about such mutations is, they do not require an explanation. They can happen to anyone!

Once Stan decided that his little cast of characters would have mutant powers, the rest was simplicity itself. He merely had to decide who his team would be and who would lead it.
In the next blog, we check out the lead was created and how he applied the concept of duality into the characters.
