BBM (Blackberry Matters)



Blackberry's most valuable asset, BBM, has spawned some light on the company's gross profit this year, due to its popularity. Following the announcement that Blackberry was considering joint partnerships, the company has been able close a deal that would see BBM being part of android and iOS products, and that i would be released this year.

The release of BBM had to be put on hold after an unreleased version of it, for both android and iOS platforms, surfaced online and caused a massive traffic of data which caused the system to work inappropriately.
Meanwhile the company is trying to have this version blocked completely, and prevent this issue from happening again, only then, will they announce the official release date again and eventually have it available to the public.

This is obviously something that all android and iOS users have been waiting for, because most of these users are people who have used a blackberry before and were pretty much accustomed to using BBM, as it is extremely user-friendly and enjoyable.

Croc under the bed

This 330 lb crocodile sneaked into Humani lodge, a bow hunting in Zimbabwe, and spent the entire night lying quietly, just inches beneath an oblivious Guy Whittall.

The most anticipated game of the year

Grand Theft Auto 5
Grand Theft Auto V is a video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is a very lively game as it is played as a worldwide adventure showcasing not only the state of San Andreas which is based in South California but also some of the world's fastest and most fashionable cars, latest fashion trends, popular radio stations and the music hits that come with it as well as some of the most famous celebrities in the form of cartoons. The game allows the user to have a deep graphic experience of what life is, or could be like for them, if they were the real people in the story. 
The whole craze started when Rockstar Games announced the setting of the game back in 2011, and they continuously and constantly kept the world awaiting by launching several demos as well as trailer to keep us updated on how exciting and different this game would be. People on social networks talked about the game the whole year, more so when its actual release date was announced on the games website, also the company saw a rise on its income just by announcing the setting of the game, showing that not only "gamers" were as intrigued but also business people wanted to be a part of this fun graphic venture.
Rockstar Games used various marketing strategies to ensure that the world was aware of the coming of the game and in September 17th 2013, they finally released the game worldwide for Paystation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. 
The reception by the public as well as game experts was great. The game had already accumulated a lump sum from the pre-orders it had received way before its release date was announced, and gamers feel like it was worth the wait.

Undeserved attention

This dark world we live in is such a devious and malicious place that I feel like we, as humans, would be better off if we did not pay attention to everything we listen to on radio or see on TV and other media platforms in the world.
From ancient times, politicians have always been working hard to deviate the people and use "us" to their advantage. Everything that happens in this dark world of ours, happens for a reason specially when politics and the media is involved.
We have heard of so many conspiracy theories that has led the world into thinking something is what it is not. Politicians create war tell us, the people, to go out there and fight for the war they create and make us believe that all they are trying to achieve is world piece when it is all a business.
I have no idea how this whole society works but I'm pretty tired of living in this dark world of today. I don't believe in none of the stuff that politicians do, and I believe that all the wars created by them and other problems are just means to distract our society. We are made of flesh but this world makes us live like we are made of still most times.
Recent major events such as the story of Snowden, the recent spat between Syria and Obama that has now been extended to Russia, and the Egyptian downfall have all been blown out of proportion and get so much media attention that it makes us think everything in the world is just that!

Crossovers

Life should be named "surprise" because sometimes that is all life can do to us, no matter how much planning we put into it. The fact that it gives us the test first and then the lesson is also another reason to further our thoughts and remain careful about what we say or do.
Judging other people's lives seems so easy when, but the real challenge happens when we find ourselves in the same situation that someone has been before and maybe at that time we felt that it was unbelievable, or somewhat improbable of happening to us directly.
Problems happen to everyone; You may run away from them but living in the world we live in will always have some type of negative effect in the way you look at things. It is how you apply these things in your life that determines how you carry on with everything in your life.
Sometimes we believe that we are not going to fall at a certain hole, but we close our eyes for just one second and next thing we know, we're in there, with no way out, and that can be cause self-loathing, and desperation.
We want to be happy but we care so much about some people that we put their happiness above ours, and live our lives trying to please them.
We laugh, we cry, we fall down, we raise up, dust off ourselves and keep walking because that is how life is supposed to be.
