My son’s room is currently being used as a playroom. It’s empty of other furnitures other than a single bed and boxes of my kids’ toys. So, I was thinking of slowly furnishing his room as he is almost ready to sleep in his room soon (I hope!). I saw this particular dresser at Powell Furniture which looks pretty trendy. I have the pic attached here. It looks just nice for a boy’s room, don’t  you think? Hmmm…I think I will drop by the showroom and buy it before stock runs out :)

I am a person who have dry skin because I never bothered to mosturize until I I was in my mid 20’s. So, I’m sharing with you some info I’ve read…

Here are some reasons that causes dry skin:

  • cold weather and low humidity
  • central heating system
  • aging due to lower estrogen level and the fact that our skin do not produce as much oils
  • other reasons include dehydration, malnutrition, diabetes, eczema and low thyroid hormones

How to treat Dry Skin?

  1. If you use lukewarm water, do not take long showers or baths
  2. Apply moisturizer while skin is still damp to seal in the moisture
  3. Use mild soap like Dove and avoid perfumed soap
  4. If you could afford one, use a humidifier at home
  5. Avoid skin care products that contain alcohol
  6. Don’t wash your face too frequently
  7. Wear Sunscreen
  8. Use Moisturizers that contains emolients such as urea and mineral oils which can provide a barrier to keep moisture in and harmful agents out

Each time I uploaded a photo on this blog, it seems to be in thumbnail size. I did not have this problem with my old WP blog previously and I dunno why this is happening.

I tried using the same photo on blogspot and there’s no problem enlarging them. So, it’s not the size of the photo that’s the problem. Initially, I thought it was because photos taken by my 2MP handphone camera resulted in the thumbnail size.

Anybody has any idea how to fix that issue? Appreciate some help here, terimaaaaa kasiiiiii!

We women love to complain. NO. Let me rephrase that so I do not get thrown with rotten tomatoes….I’m a woman who loves to complain.

Call it feedback, call it complain, call it whatever you want but I can vouch that it works to get you the attention you want. This is one secret recipe I learnt through my experience in the Customer Service line. Of course, don’t complain over petty issues if you can avoid it. My actions have resulted in me getting free travel size skin care items, results that I want, a certain banks regional head calling me up, waiver of late payment charges and many more.

I remembered a week back when I was checking in for my flight and there was a long queue. My colleagues and I were routed to the international check in counter. Upon reaching there, the MAS staff was upset with us despite the fact that there was no one queueing up. We explained that why we were routed there but she continued to mumble that she needed to check whether she can do it…yadda yadda yadda. Of course, we were equally upset by her service. So, while waiting for her to check, there was this small customer feedback machine placed at the counters. Being the evil women that we are, we proceeded to vent our frustration through our feedback. Guess what? I believe that MAS staff could not bear the *tit tit tit* sound we made with the machine,so she changed her tone to a sweet one. Sheeesh! Too late, she did not get a good review from us. *ngek*

So you see, I believe I am a very much dreaded and hated customer but who cares, I get what I want. Never, never under estimate the power of feedback and threat complain from a woman ;)

I blogged about how my handphone kaput a month back and that I bought a new one. So, here’s a look at the features of my sickening cell phone Nokia 6233:

nokia.jpg
  • A small, sleek mobile device with indulgent stainless steel – the perfect balance of features for both business and pleasure
  • Real time access to information at all times through mobile broadband
  • High quality sound through stereo speakers and 3D surround sound
  • Up to 70MB total memory (6MB internal + 64MB memory card) for storing videos, pictures, and messages
  • 2-megapixel camera with 8x smooth, digital zoom and landscape mode
  • Stereo FM radio and music player
  • Enhanced Java email client for easy sending and receiving of information
  • Spam filter to avoid junk mail
  • Supports video sharing, streaming, and recording capabilities
  • Video, MP3, eACC+, and 64-bit polyphonic ringing tones
  • Weight: 110 g
  • Dimensions: 108 x 46 x 18 mm, 81 cc

Amboi, sounds so canggih, ya? No doubt the features are better than my old phone but a couple of days after I bought it, I couldn’t retrieve the data from my memory card. Then, I sent it back and they format the memory card for me. Oklah, this ignorant woman did not know that the memory card have to format *duh*. So, all the info stored in the card were lost. That’s why I asked for some of your numbers again.

Now, guess what, yesterday I was MMS-ing photos to my email account and it blacked out. Sheesh!!! Can you believe it??? Die, die, try but cannot power on. I’m so totally bummed out by this. Sent back to the technician today and they did who-the-heck-cares-what something on my handphone. So far, so good but I lost my photos and data in the memory card again. I tell you, I am so super duper pissed off mad. Lucky, it’s the hub who sent the phone over. Else, tomorrow you will read in the paper “Crazy Woman Kills Technician Over Handphone Problem“.

Psst psst….remember, don’t buy this phone, ya?

I’ve asked for feedback in the PPP forum on whether I should shift this blog away but seems that everyone is in favour of WP. So, here I am still here…

I’m happy so say that I’ve made a little progress in learning up on WP. So far, have managed to upload a plugin and a couple of themes. Minor steps but nevertheless, I still call that improvement.

Now, I need to add in a header banner but don’t know how to. If anyone has any idea how to do it, please share, ya? Thanks in advance!

The idea of placing our old age parent in a nursing home can break our hearts. Furthermore, society may frown upon such actions and it can be emotionally draining on those who need to do it.

Sometimes we are left with no other options and rather than leaving them with a maid at home whom we might not trust, why not search for a long term care facility to take care of their needs? Gilbert Guide is the best site to look for such information as it publishes the most comprehensive information on long-term care facilities and services in the United States.

Furthremore, Gilbert Guide’s easy Care Planner can find the best fit for your needs. A simple questionnaire gives you customized recommendations on the right types of care for your love ones. This site also provides information about the best New York city nursing homes. Don’t forget to bookmark this site and share the info with your friends or family who might need similar assistance.

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure which transfers a patient’s own hairs from a donor area to areas of the scalp that are undergoing hair loss or thinning. That means, you can cover up that bald spot with your own hair. Isn’t that a great option?

Nowadays, there are several different hair transplant techniques and results may vary with technique used. However, some of the best results obtained today use the technique of follicular unit grafting. A follicular unit is the term used to describe the natural groupings of one, two, three and occasionally four hairs. As this is how hair grows naturally in the scalp, follicular unit grafting often provides the most natural results.

Frankly for some people, loosing that bald spot may take years off their age and boost their confidence. If you are having the same dilemma, do click on the above link for more information.

It is obvious that PROM DRESSES are one of the most important items in any girls prom plans. I remembered during my school days, prom dresses were not as beautiful and elegant as what we have now.

Here’s a look at the some of the latest styles for 2007 prom dresses:

Don’t you agree that the above dresses just look so glamorous? Everyone wants to look their best in prom and what matters most is the dress should suit you right, accentuates your curves, and brings out the best in you. Sometimes,  it can be a hassle searching for THE dress for you but I can recommend one great site called TalkPromDresses.com which will be able to help. Whether you want what’s best, cheapest or what is the most trendy and designer, there will be a dress to fit your imagination and budget.

Whether it is a bad habit or an overplucking error, many of us have been guilty of abusing our eyebrows one time or another. However, to most women, we consider it a horror story!

How To Fill In Eye Brow Bald Spots?

Use a very sharp brow pencil in a colour closer to the darker side of your brow. Aplly in quick strokes instead of drawing a line.

Lightly apply strokes of a softer shade of brow powder to stimulate hair Set with eyebrow gel.

During the regrowth process, women are advised to shy away from having hair pulled back or any severe hairstyle that emphasizes your forehead. Long and shaggy fringe are a great way to distract attention from eyebrow bald spots.
