Welcome to the 21st Century!

Image: From Full House to Fuller House . Image(s) taken from Google. By Sanniah Hassan So recently I have introduced myself to the modern concept of binge-watching series on the computer. Thus welcoming myself to the 21st century... ha! As yet another year is coming to an end I felt myself reminiscing on the days of my childhood when we used to watch re-runs of the 80's sitcom Full House starring John Stamos, Bob Saget, Candace Cameron Bure, and not forget the oh-so-famous Olsen twins (who played the character of the adorable Michelle Tanner).

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) "Shutting off the thought process is not rejuvenating; the minds is like a car battery - it recharges by running."

I cannot be tamed; I am a lioness I will not conform, for I am a warrior I am my own boss – I am going to survive!  For my rights, I will strive.   I will not surrender.
