TIME 100 List

TIME magazine decided not to number their 100 List just to be fair and equal.

My trainer was too kind to let me borrow her TIME magazine fresh off the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf branch somewhere. She broke the news that the magazine is free if you buy a latte at the coffee house. I was thrilled to know it comes from the Coffee Bean and not Starbucks. I love the coffee house's Chai Tea ---- a tea and milk drink infused with cinnamon. I'm not familiar with their coffee but with that TIME magazine, I'll give my mom the coffee and buy myself a Chai. I just hope the coffee tastes good because free stuff comes along with products bearing an invisible low quality warning.

Okay, back to the TIME magazine. I came across the Facebook mastermind's name: Mark Zuckerberg. I searched his name on the Net when I got home and typed Zuckerman on the search box. I tried to memorize his surname in the press office, keeping the word "Zucker" as the keyword for my own memory game. I laughed when I typed Zuckerman on the search box. I should have remembered his whole surname because only the word zucker left my head. His picture on the magazine was way different from his recent image shown at CNN later this afternoon. He looked older than his youthful picture in a 40-year-old virgin pose after dealing with Microsoft's plan to get a share of the social networking's stocks. He may be a geek but hey, didn't Yahoo! say hello world thanks to two computer geeks? The three of them had a similarity: tinkering the Internet capacity with all their brainpower. They were the brave ones who tapped networking potentials on the World Wide Web.

Another entry in the List was Miley Cyrus. Words by Donny Osmond. Then, after a few months she posed sexy on one of Vanity Fair's pages. Now, Donny wished he didn't include her on the List. He explained what she had done was a no-no for a 15-year-old and too much limelight can be bad for a girl her age.

Others on the List were environment advocate Tony Blair, superwoman Oprah Winfrey, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and timeless actress Mia Farrow.
