March Day Serenade

The frosty days are put to rest
As winter turns to spring
We cast an eye up to the sky
To what this month will bring.

A day when dark clouds gently brew
With not one leaf a stirring
When thunder peals as lightning cracks
A raging storm, enduring.

As shifting winds blow here and there
Without a rhyme or reason 
When Ides of March come out to play
A turbulent sort of season.

We've waited long for nature's song
For freshness in the air
For rainy days and purple haze
For breezes sweet and fair.

A time of kites and windy days
A time when dreams are made
A time when God blows forth a kiss
A March day serenade.

Prayer for Japan

Lift up your hearts in prayer
The need is now at hand
The cry of death and misery
Is heard throughout the land.

Tsunami has killed thousands
The numbers still do grow
This mighty act of nature
Hath dealt an awful blow.

Disease is running rampant
Their lives are filled with woe
The torment and the destruction
Is more than we could know.

Lift up your hearts in prayer
For many souls have died
The precious little children
And all who have survived.

Pray for aunts and uncles
For mothers filled with grief
Pray that 'God of Abraham' 
Will send them some relief.

Lift up your heart in prayer
For those who tried to flee
The giant wall of water
Tossed by a raging sea.

Pray for the lost and hungry
The homeless and the weak
Pray that these ravaged countries
Will find the help they seek.

     Thank You for the moments Saint Elizabeth. !
10 months is almost done . But the thoughts we shared,
the insanity, the ups and downs, loneliness and happiness,
seem to last a lifetime .. You made my heart a perfect shape.
I'll really miss you my beloved section, but time cannot be frozen.
So I shall say goodbye . No matter how hard, it is reality ..
You've been a big part of me, yet move on. !
     We will see each other again,soon.. :)

I LOVE YOU ALL ! :D

All About Pixels :D

   In computer graphics, pixelation is an effect caused by displaying a bitmap or a section of a bitmap at such a large size that individual pixels, small single-colored square display elements that comprise the bitmap, are visible to the eye. Such an image is said to be pixelated.

Early graphical applications such as video games ran at very low resolutions with a small number of colors, and so had easily visible pixels. The resulting sharp edges gave curved objects and diagonal lines an unnatural appearance. However, when the number of available colors increased to 256, it was possible to gainfully employ anti-aliasing to smooth the appearance of low-resolution objects, not eliminating pixelation but making it less jarring to the eye. Higher resolutions would soon make this type of pixelation all but invisible on the screen, but pixelation is still visible if a low-resolution image is printed on paper.
