Wow 2009
Ok so its a new year I might be a bit late but HAPPY NEW YEAR. With a new year comes new issues, interests and possibilities. Over the Christmas holidays I Reassessed my plans and my goals and so far for this year its going smoothly.
I urge everyone to reassess their lives thus far see what changes and alterations can be to better not only yourself but you environment cause sometimes things need to change.
So school shall revive itself next week, honestly I'm not too happy about that but life must go on and for now University is apart of my life. Only one more year to go that's the good part.
In other news this is my first entry for the new year n i cant help but think about chocolate ant the various kinds that is available: milk chocolate, dark chocolate and variations of both. My favorite is reeces(sp), I absolutely love the chocloate peanute butter combination. Another one is M&M's the peanut kind. Love my chocolate. But the king of all chocolates is Hershey's, cookies and cream to be exact and kisses of course.

Faith and Hope More Than Just Words
I just found this to be rather sad. I hope the family will get better in time.
Conjoined twin dies after surgery
Conjoined twins Hope and Faith
The twins shared a liver but had separate hearts
One of the conjoined twins separated at Great Ormond Street Hospital has died.
Hope Williams - whose sister Faith is said to be in a stable condition - died because her lungs failed her, Professor Agostino Pierro said.
Laura Williams, 18, from Shrewsbury, gave birth to the girls at a London hospital on 26 November.
The twins, who were joined at the chest and shared a liver but had separate hearts, underwent an operation to separate them on Tuesday.
Emergency operation
Mrs Williams and her husband Aled, from Anglesey, were with Hope when she died.
Professor Pierro, head of the surgical team which operated on the girls, said Faith needed support for her breathing but was gradually improving.
HOW THE TWINS WERE JOINED
The twins shared a liver and circulatory system. Hope was the smaller of the two.
A team of 20 led by Professor Agostino Pierro performed an operation lasting 11 hours.
After separation, Hope's lungs failed and she died.
Faith is in a stable condition. More surgery will be needed on her abdomen. She is said to have a 50/50 chance of survival.
The team continued to operate on Faith after Hope's death and the whole procedure took about 11 hours.
Faith will need further surgery to close her stomach and is in intensive care.
The hospital had wanted to wait until the twins were stronger before carrying out the operation, but it was brought forward after their health gave cause for concern.
Prof Pierro said: "This was an emergency operation because there was a blockage in their joined intestine which could only be resolved through separation.
"The technical separation worked well, although it was extremely challenging, and went according to plan."
'Right words'
Jessica Culver, a friend who has a son close in age to the Williams' 18-month-old daughter Carley, spoke to Mrs Williams after Hope died.
"I can't say that I understand because I've never lost a child," said Ms Culver.
"It was just really difficult. I mean, finding the right words to say to her and just trying to show her that she's still got Carly and she's got Faith as well to look forward to bringing home.
"I know it's not going to be as good as taking home both of them, but at least she still has got Faith left."
Prof Pierro added he was sorry for Mr and Mrs Williams' loss.
"The parents are coping extremely well and I am grateful to them for their support," he said.
Professor Agostino Pierro: 'The operation was very challenging'
More than 20 staff were involved in the operation and Professor Pierro said it was one of the most challenging and complex he, and hospital staff, had ever faced.
"We separated the babies and unfortunately, after separation of the babies, Hope's lungs were too small to support her breathing and circulation.
"So eventually she died because of a lung condition and in reality what happened before is that the lungs of Faith were somehow supporting Hope," he said.
Staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital are considered to be among the most experienced in Europe in separating conjoined twins.
Mrs Williams is believed to be the youngest mother of conjoined twins in Britain.
She and her husband found out about their children's condition at a routine 12-week scan.
