monita mania

i was tuning in to CNN this weekend basically for two main reasons:

first: for the coverage of LIVE 8 CONCERTS. live from tokyo, johannesburg, moscow, berlin, rome, london, paris, barrie, and philadelphia, these are concerts which aim to get as much names worldwide that will pressure the G8 countries (usa, uk, germany, france, italy, russia, canada, and japan) on their summit on the sixth of july to push for a 3-point plan that will literally make poverty in africa history.

the 3-point plan includes: (1) erase all the debt of african nations, (2) double the aid, and (3) create a fair trade.

although africa was not well-represented in the concerts, which is becoming another issue, i think the organisers did a job well done.

second: well, of course, because of cnn anchor monita rajpal. haven't seen her for a long time now. hehehe. she was reporting from the london live 8 concert in hyde park. and it was the first time i've seen her reporting live outside the studio. and as always, she was astoundingly gorgeous. here's a picture of her:

isn't she just lovely?
