Online Friends

Friday 27 April 2007 @ 3:53 pm

Do you believe in online or virtual friendship? How realistic do you think they are?

Being an introvert, I am one who likes to hide behind my cloak of annonymity. At least, part annonymous to some :) Though I must admit that I have extended my friendship to some bloggers beyond what I would categorize as virtual friendship. Having said that, I have not actually met up with any bloggers in person. Yep, I do admit I am a little afraid.

In the blogosphere, we may project our image at the very surface only and not the total package that we come in. So, through blogs, there may be a pre-conceived perception of that blogger in real life. However, when we meet up, the expectation might not be met and hence, the real life friendship might not materialize.

While I acknowledged that many real life friendship and even romance have blossomed through virtual relationship, should a line be drawn here? What’s your take on this?

Edited to add : There was supposed to be a poll on this but somehow my alignment was out again due to the insertion of the poll. Meantime, please feel free to add your comments. Thanks!

Taking Control Of Life

Friday 27 April 2007 @ 2:22 pm

When one becomes addicted to alcohol or drugs, your life will be turned topsy turvy. Worst of all when your money or supplies runs out, so will your so called friends.

Only those who really care will suggest that you seek treatment. There are many reputable rehab centres like San Diego drug rehab that can certainly help get your life back on track. However, making that decision is essentially yours and is the very first step towards your recovery. I certainly know as an ex-schoolmate of mine was involved in drugs many years ago. With the help of her family, she enrolled in a program suitable for her and has since gotten control of her life. Since then, she has been actively volunteering to do her part in seminars and talk to curb this very much dreaded disease. This is certainly a wonderful testimonial to how a person can really overcome drug addiction and I am proud to say I know this gal.




Cosmetic Surgery

Friday 27 April 2007 @ 2:13 pm

Cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills are certainly nothing rare these days as more and more people are opting to look good. What used to be a woman’s turf has lately extended to men but not all cosmetic surgery are meant for vanity purposes.

A friend of my colleague was involved in a very bad accident a couple of years back and found it hard to live with his disfigured face. He avoided going out and his confidence took a great dive. After much thought, consultations and contribution of funds from his family member, he flew to the US to have corrective surgery. The two weeks in US changed his life tremendously and he came back here with a new found confidence. So, you see this is definitely a plus point for the existence of cutting edge technology.




San Diego

Friday 27 April 2007 @ 1:54 pm

If you ever set foot in San Diego, you’ll realized that there are plenty of places of interest to visit. At least, that was what I was told my my best friend who recently went there on a vacation.

Being a single woman, she enjoyed San Diego nightlife tremendously, especially the clubbing. Apart from that, she also visited the spa and salons for what she called “rejuvenation” sessions. However, what I envied most was her shopping spree at Tobi Blatt. *Sigh* What can I say? That’s the perk of being single :P




Beauty and Plastic Surgery

Wednesday 25 April 2007 @ 7:08 am

Many women believe beauty is a top priority in their lives. Thus, many who are not satisfied with their appearance have resorted to plastic surgery to enhance their looks.

While some people may argue that plastic surgery results in artificial beauty, it does have it’s advantages. Plastic surgery can help boost a person’s confidence while reconstructive surgery can correct congenital, traumatic, post surgical deformities and skin cancer reconstruction. While the technology is there, whether one truly requires it depends on the individual itself.

One point to note is to always ensure that you find a surgeon who has a good standing and is board certified to perform these facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Header

Thursday 19 April 2007 @ 4:29 pm

I changed it again because I hated the colour on the last one. I’m still experimenting with the header to find the best suitable one. At least now, I can give myself a pat on the back for being able to make changes to this blog. If I don’t praise myself, who else will motivate me, right? ;)

So, how do you like this one? Or do you prefer the last one (in blue colour)? Anyone has links to free header sites, please drop me a line, ya? Thank you.

Btw, have you done the poll for Advertlets on my centerbar? Appreciate if you could help me out. It’ll take less than a minute. Thanks again :)

Some people may think big busted women are born fortunate. However, you may be surprised to know that some women with larger busts and average sized body are finding it hard to get that perfect cocktail dress or that professional-looking jacket for an important meeting.

It features an attractive clothing line that would help bustier figured women to feel confident, sexy and comfortable. Eris Apparel’s clothing line rises to fit any occasion with fabric selection that are stylish and easy to care for. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to provide apparel that women will enjoy and feel good wearing them. Popular featured items currently includes a blazer, cocktail dress and camisole. Other items such as blouses, casual tops, and suit pants and skirts are also available. Furthermore, customers will be happy to know that a swimwear line is also planned for the spring of 2007.

At Eris Apparel, customers will find a stylish collection of ready-to-wear pieces which can be mixed and matched to create their own style. So, if you need a boost to your ego, Eris Apparel is where you should shop.

3rd Tag From Mott

Wednesday 18 April 2007 @ 11:23 pm

I must quickly do this before Mott changes her mind. I swear I can hear her saying “Tsk tsk begging for tags again“. Lol. Thank you so much.

My Last Post….Gee, now that I have to think before I write (which I don’t usually do), it’s kinda hard *gulps*

If I knew ahead of time I was gonna pass on, I would schedule a blog post on this site to publish on the said date (must refer to Jazz, my sifu). These shall be the instructions:

  1. Donate my organs
  2. Cremate my body
  3. Scatter my ashes in the sea (any sea lah)
  4. Declare my love for my family in the post and wish them well
  5. Remind my kids to grow up remembering the fond memories with their mommy
  6. Tell my other half that he is allowed to remarry with the condition that he finds a woman who will love my kids. Otherwise, I will come back and haunt him….muar ha ha
  7. Since my mom is a single mother and I am the only child, I will leave instructions for my other half to ensure that she is well taken care of.
  8. Thank my blogger buddies for their support & virtual friendship. Tell them that I’ll miss blogging awfully but if anybody wants a sign to confirm whether there’s net access “up there”, just drop a comment in the post.

Aiks, this is almost like a will, scary :P But hey, it sounds realistic and makes me ponder….

Wanna tag who?

1. Shopping Mum

2. Mike of Something About Parenting

3. Mamajo of Los Angeles My Home




Digital Picture Frame

Wednesday 18 April 2007 @ 10:29 am

Since digital cameras and camera phones have became a norm for me, I no longer have to be bothered about processing films. Instead, what I do is to select the pictures which I love and have them printed and stored in photo albums. Other than that, I also store the digital photo in my PC & send them to friends and relatives when I deemed fit. However, that is the conventional way of enjoying your digital photos.

Digital Picture frame is the latest in technology that allows all your happy snaps to be displayed in all areas of your home, on the wall of your living room, at the entrance and on the side table in your bedroom on a fashionable and stylish digital photo frame. Features include being able to set the period of time you want your picture to be displayed and how you want the transitions between digital pictures. Besides your pictures, you can also view movie clips that have been taken with your camera, even play music in the background. Cool, don’t you think?

How it works can be simplify in 3 easy steps:

1. Take your photos

2. Transfer your memory card into your Digital Photo Frame

3. Using your remote control choose your favorite slide show

Overall, I totally love this product. There is also worlwide shipping so, no matter where you reside, you’ll be able to order one. Why not get one now and try it out?
