tenth planet??

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

with advancement in technologies, astronomical orgs are able to send missions to destinations even outside the solar system, though, recently these missions are still on their way.

Plutonianmoonbut anyway (hehe..), it has been declared that Pluto is our ninth planet, and been discovered that it has 2 ‘moons’ and were named nix and hydra. (they are goddessess in greek myth, surely). But then Xena’s discovery doubted the planethood of Pluto. Xena is said to be more bigger than Pluto, so, it is now being debated by astronomers and astronomy entusiasts alike wether to add Xena to the list or drop pluto to just simply an asteroid/planetoid. It is said that it’ll be decided by the IAU(international astronomical union)this August and by September, lil children will have to memorize just 8 planets or maybe 1 more to the present nines.

some debators suggest to just define what a PLANET really is. well, drawing a line in the sand is a pretty proper thing to be done. but further then, defining "these heavenly bodies" would lead a perfectly infinite names if they were to be named. hhuhu. taxonomy in astronomy. another suggestment, which to me would be just right. according to him, we are in a premature period to decide on this, that, we should wait for further facts. a mission is on its way, although it will take decades for it to reach the area but it would definitely hard facts that are there. why decide when we dont have all the facts?, he says.. and i think he’s practically right. why decide now and redo everything later… ?

that thing they called CONSTANT CHANGE

CHANGE, they say, the only constant. i agree. it’s ceaseles, in addition. seen several of one kind of it today. the kind I never expected i see from these people. of course, these people aren’t related. they are different people i met from different times in my life. i cherished them all in different ways. and these changes..  the change i believed that would never ever happen. the change i hate to believe. damn! i just couldn’t believe because i never seen/judged them as such persons. would make me wonder of what i’ve done or of what i didn’t do to make these people change as such…

I’m not new to this one kind of change. it happens all the time. it happens to everyone. it’s common, so to speak. beyond doubt. it’s just that it’s too much change for one day…it’s stunning, really. and very odd, indeed! but there’s nothing more i could do. for now, all i could do is wonder and hope that i would bother to ask them why.. it’s either this or, just let it be, anyways, it’s their decision. there are reasons and there could be none.  somehow, all i could do is respect… and it wouldn’t hurt any longer.. maybe.

this is it! this gonna be my last year, God help me… I’ll be having my thesis, and this is the highlight of being a Computer Engineering student. I’m kind of anxious of what awaits. inevitable.
