I’ve come across the new event of Bloggers Unite initiative that aims to use the power of the blogs to make the world a better place and increasing the awareness about fundamental issues on earth. I wasn’t able to join previous events and I learned this one on the last day. This event’s focus is Human Rights. Bloggers all around the world will be writing about Human Rights on May 15th.
It’s such a vast topic. Even right at this moment, hundreds and thousands of violations of the very basic human rights occur as we repeat our daily routine.
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
-Article 3 of the (UDHR) -
Just some quick free associations; Iraq (twice; one for G. Bush, other for G. W. Bush), Bosnia, Palestine, Tibet, Vietnam, North Korea, Lebanon…
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
-Article 5 of the (UDHR) -
What about Guantanamo Bay detention camp ? And those horrible, unacceptable, shameful photos from Abu Gharip?
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
-Article 9 of the (UDHR) -
See above and also this one…
This horror and terror is someone else’s daily life out there… And the links on this post are not even close to show the real amount of the abuses of Human Rights.
Today is a day of awareness for Human Rights on the blogosphere. Just being aware of it is a good start itself, since violation of human rights has both a global face ( see above examples) and a local face which occurs everyday in our neighbourhood. Maybe there is something you can do in your power to help one of your acquaintances.

Previously on Misty Forest;
Our heroine finds a new life struggle called “job” very soon after university. And fails to update blog immediately. One months passes, finally she collects her mind to write down some…things.
Hello dear guests of Misty Forest. Although I promised myself not to neglect my part of the blog, it is so obvious that I have failed to keep the promise. First month of my job has already gone. The first important thing I learned that there is no perfect job. I love some parts of my job but I have disappointments. I just wished that possible disappointments wouldn’t reveal themselves so soon as my first month. The only good side that keep me go on is the nice atmosphere among my colleagues and learning something fairly different than my area of education.
I have an urge to whine and complain all along the post but I will hold back myself doing so. I will just say that although I have 4 or 5 almost finished posts for quite some time, I couldn’t able to finalize them and post here because I come home pretty much dead tired and my resting time passes lightening fast.
How do I feel about all of these? I constantly keep asking myself this question. The first word that comes to my mind is “unsettled”. Almost every aspect of my life is in a mess; my room, my documents in my workplace, my plans… wherever I look, I only see unfinished things… unfinished and undecided. The only comforting thought is running back my own world, locking the door and losing the key…
Hey people! How can you be able to deal with all this stuff?
In my personal history, this Monday is signifies both an end and a beginning. My studentship has ended now and this Monday my employed life is beginning with one week long training courses. To the most readers of this post, this may seem like not a big deal, it is indeed so. Yet again, being a student is something I know best for so long and I enjoyed it so much. My lifestyle have to change accordingly and I feel bitter about it.
Most important thing I’m upset about changing is the waking hours. Waking up early seems almost impossible since I’m an absolute night owl. In university, I had classes as early as 09.00 am, I simply skipped them mostly. I’m that much of a lazy owl.
The other matter is vacations. As a student, you have a long vacation, but when you are employed, you only have 2 weeks!! Unfair 
How can you even relax after one year’s work with just two weeks. Sounds out of possibility.
I can’t recall any other important reasons and the ones I wrote is just childish, I admit. But these two things (second one mostly, I don’t know any night owls except me) are the most complained factors by the employed people around me.
Complaining resolves nothing, of course. I’ll try and see what is it like.
Hi there,
As a lazy author, I’m temporarily having difficulty about what to write next. I’m wandering around other people’s blogs and whenever I come across a “Tips for (Newbie) Bloggers” article, it emphasizes the importance of frequent update. That makes me feel kind of guilty and I decided to justify my not-so-frequently-posting intervals.
Firstly, the city I’m living is terribly hot and humid, no rain not even a single rain cloud for quite some time now. It’s brightly shiny and annoyingly humid. This weather kills my every possible ability, let alone my writing capacity.
Secondly, my last summer holiday is about to end. Less than one week later, my job is starting. Since I’m not a person who can live with a tight schedule , I’m quite worried with my new life and can’t help cling onto my last days of unoccupied new graduate frantically.
And finally, I’m having a negative mood about how rotten a place has become the world we are living in and trying to remember what good things are there struggling to exist despite the wicked and mindlessly destructive side of human beings.
(This should be a general announcement actually)
To the prospective visitor of Misty Forest: your comments are pretty much welcome (for any post, any time even in any language 
) Why don’t you just say “hi” this time.
