1) Serial Dramas
2) National Geographic Channel
3) Discovery Channel
4) Wikipedia
5) Lonely Planet
And they ALL have good, sound justifications for spending time on it!
E.g.:
Serial Dramas - I need to know the ending. Or else I cannot concentrate studying. I will study doubly hard later.
National Geographic Channel - Its an educational programme! It widens our general knowledge. Its not wasting time. Its good. Its good. Really.
Discovery Channel - Doesn't the name already explain its usefulness? I am discovering something new! Its not wasting time. Its not. Really.
Wikipedia - As the above examples already suggest, its useful!
Lonely Planet - Erm.. its useful as well!
And sometimes I wonder... How can I be complaining bout how boring NZ is yet I have no time to sleep.
I never thought science was interesting...
Causes and effects of Seasons:
The seasons result from the Earth's axis being tilted to its orbital plane; it deviates by an angle of about 23.44 degrees. Thus, at any given time during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun. This exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit. At any given time, regardless of season, the northern and southern hemispheres experience opposite seasons.
Alright... I didn't know about that. And apparently the moon has some very important characteristics which we probably won't be living in this earth if not for that. World's most endangered locations

Book of Genesis
Genesis is the first book of the Bible. It recounts a history of the world from the Creation to the descent of the Children of Israel into Egypt, and contains some of the best-known stories of the Old Testament, including Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, and the biblical Patriarchs.
For Jews the theological importance of Genesis centers on the Covenants linking God to his Chosen People and the people to the Promised Land. Christianity has reinterpreted Genesis as the prefiguration of Christian beliefs, notably the Christian view of Christ as the new Adam and the New Testament as the culmination of the covenants. Muslims revere Adam, Abraham, and other figures in Genesis, but regard the book as a corrupted version of Allah's true revelation in the Quran.
Jews and Christians alike traditionally viewed Genesis as the word of God as recorded by Moses. Since the 19th century, Biblical scholars have viewed it as a composite text made up of originally independent sources dating from the 10th to the 5th century BC.
Nefertiti
Nefertiti (c. 1370 BC - c. 1330 BC) was the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. She was the mother-in-law and probable stepmother of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Nefertiti may have also ruled as pharaoh in her own right under the name Neferneferuaten briefly after her husband's death and before the accession of Tutankhamun, although this identification is doubted by the latest research.
Anyband
Anyband is a promotional Korean group formed by cell phone giant Samsung's Anycall to promote their latest product "AnyBand" new cell phones. "AnyBand" consists of BoA, Xiah Junsu of TVXQ, Tablo of Epik High, and jazz pianist Jin Bora.
The seven minute commercial was shot in Brazil, depicting a city controlled by a Big Brother-type figurehead that constantly watches over its oppressed citizens. The law is for "no talk, no play, no love," and the citizens are strictly controlled and monitored by their government. However, four individuals form a secret alliance to challenge the government's power. Their motto is "Talk, Play, Love," and they keep in contact with each other through the use of their Anycall cellphones, a possession that is closely guarded as it is illegal to possess cellphones. Escaping the police and security, they infiltrate the government's computer system and broadcast their message through their song TPL (Talk, Play, Love), also recorded using their Anycall cellphones. They later go out in the open on top of the city's high rises to send a live message through their music, "Promise U". The people follow and rise, and the opressive government in the end is defeated.
I remembered when I was in Korea watching their music channel, this video was aired. I saw Boa holding some small satellite thingy on top of the mountains singing and my first reaction was... to laugh. I laughed like mad thinking that it was darn nonsensical. But...but.. haha now I think that Anycall's promotional adverts are real cool! As in, I think it appeals to the younger population and its very entertaining. Check out Lee Hyori's promotional videos as well!
Oh...did I mention that blogging is another time leacher? Damnnnnn
