as DOMA Struck down and Prop 8 case dismissed on standing
the challenge to the constitutionality of
California's Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage: After the two
same-sex couples filed their challenge to Proposition 8 in federal
court in California, the California government officials who would
normally have defended the law in court, declined to do so. So the
proponents of Proposition 8 stepped in to defend the law, and the
California Supreme Court (in response to a request by the lower court)
ruled that they could do so under state law. But today the Supreme
Court held that the proponents do not have the legal right to defend the
law in court. As a result, it held, the decision by the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the intermediate appellate court, has no
legal force, and it sent the case back to that court with instructions
for it to dismiss the case.

What is Eternal?
I went to two photo competition recently...
one is Cathay Pacific Connecting your world competition
and the other one is International Students Visual Art Contest of Hong Kong
and lucky... got prizes for both competition...
a Certificate from International Students Visual Art Contest of Hong Kong
and two return Regional ticket from Hong Kong...(South_East Asia)
The bad thing is... they can't bring me to Rome or L.A. lol
so the Theme of the International Student Visual Art Contest of Hong Kong 2011 is
"Capture Eternity"
and this bring me think lot... so What is Eternal...
the photo which get this price is posted on this blog previously in the post of my Australia Trip
If you wanted to see it. Click HERE!
so What is Eternal to you?
Well in my point of view, Eternal is nothing that man could explore so...
how can we take a photo of that cause....
Only God who is not limited by Time and Space so he could truly have eternal.
I try to imagine what is eternal with my limited knowledge and sense.
For me, nothing is eternal in the world, so how can we describe eternal?
Let's Imagine eternal is builded up by many many single strings...
They are parallel but they are not the same.
If you look into it, they have their own pattern, some of them... they don't looks like relavant,
similar or even it is independent with each other....
most of them are so weak and actually while on of it vibrates...
the other will just vibrate with it... The only different is the size of vibration.
Patter and law are exist everywhere in the nature, in the world, in every creature!
Nature, Earth, the Universe...and of cause all of us... are actually affected by this pattern, this invisible law! Could man change or have any amendment on this pattern?
or it just limit and control man FOREVER?
Just like virus get into animal and things in nature change....
man make Global Warming... and the WHOLE nature change....
so What do you think about Eternal? send me emails or post on my Facebook fan page or even twitter me!!... You can find all the stuff on the bar up there!!
Can't wait to hear from you!!
and one more thing.... can anyone suggest where to go in East_Asia
with Cathay Pacific or Dragon Air!
