Sink or Swim

Street food – stomach, liver, and other organs. Exotic food such as worms and bugs.

TV show I loathe:
Reality shows like Big Brother or any local shows that lack originality.

Movie I loathe:
I love movies so I can’t think of any right now

Music genres I loathe:
Revivals by our local artists. Heavy metal that’s purely noise and not skills

Magazine which annoys me:
None

Makes me cranky at restaurant:
Hot restaurants, long waiting list, dirty plates and bland food

Makes me cranky in public:
People who are generally rude

Makes me cranky in general:
I get cranky when I’m hungry.

When things are missing around the house

Pisses me off at work:
Slow internet, slow co-worker haha. Fickle-minded clients.

Pisses me off in general:
Name droppers, poseurs

Makes me impatient at home:
Can’t think of any

Makes me impatient at work:
Slow internet, always. Late feedbacks on design tasks.

Hip hop songs that’s too dirty

I couldn’t care less about:
Expensive and designer clothing

Annoys the crap out of me weekdays:
Early school mornings when all you can think about is sleeping

Still early mornings. IT’s the weekend and you’re supposed to sleep in.

Blogger’s habit that annoys you:
Revealing too much information or talking too much negative stuff about people that they know.

Feature on your blog you hate:
None.

Movie star you despise:
No one really.

Politician that you hate:
Every politician who ever stole money from our taxes.

As we return to school and work and the holiday hustle settles, is there something that you look forward to doing again?
I would love to go out of town with the family. We just got back from our HK trip but you could look at it as a vacation from our vacation. HK was pretty tiring after all and we need to recover badly

What do you find most stressful about the holidays?
Visiting lots of relatives, planning too many parties and buying gifts for people I don’t even like. Plus there’s that extra weight that comes with the holidays that after all the drinking and eating, all you can think about are diet pills that work quick.

And how do you deal with that stress?
What else but through shopping of course! It’s the perfect stress-reliever to every women’s woes.

My husband and daughter couldn’t decide whether they’ll get a Wii or a ps3. I’d rather they don’t buy anything for two things. They can save money and they won’t be addicted. But of course, as long as my daughter finishes her school work and my husband helps around the house (hah!), I’d be more than willing to get one for them. Although I love to play video games from time to time, I don’t really see why some people spend all day and all night playing.

Some really funny photography the web has to offer. Take a break and browse through them.

And now that I mentioned the new celebrity moms, let me just post a few photos of them three of four months after giving birth. You’d probably want to read on new diet pills that you don’t know about but this post is not about that. It’s to inspire you to lose that weight through regular exercise and healthy diet. And if you don’t know this yet, breastfeeding can make you lose weight so fast you’d be back in your old body in six to eight months.

Kelly Rutherford (6 weeks)

Heidi Klum (5 weeks)

Trista Sutter (5 months)

And I know 5 weeks is too much for mere mortals like us so let me share this snippet from eatsmartgetsmart.com

When a celebrity gives birth (often by a scheduled, voluntary c-section) many immediately receive a tummy tuck. Once they are home, they bring in their (already assembled and waiting in the wings) team of professionals whose sole duty is to get the celeb back into red carpet shape. Often a publicity deal is already in the works with a magazine selected to cover her miraculous return to the spot light.

This team is made up a personal trainer, a masseuse, yoga instructor, Pilates instructor, nutritionist and personal chef. More often than not, little pills are often taken. (Remember the Rolling Stones song, “Mother’s Little Helper”?) They devote their entire day to this. Every other annoyance is taken care for them. Changing diapers? Please!

You probably think that celebrities never needed treatment for acne their whole lives. You’re wrong. Brittney Spears for one, is very popular with her acne breakouts. They just have more money to buy expensive treatments.

It’s the same thing with celebrity moms who magically go back to their old bodies. Either they have personal chefs to cook them South Beach meals or trainers barking at them 24/7 to exercise or a very expensive package with their favorite plastic surgeons.

Edward’s left hand is a bit weird but at least Bela looks like she’s more passionately in love here than afraid. The Cullens looked great too and close enough to how beautiful they were described in the book.

And may I say I had goose bumps just seeing the words “The Next Chapter Begins.”?

Great poster! More heart-stopping photos here. Click it, you won’t regret it.

about …

Travels – where to go, how much the packages are, where to eat

Losing weight – the right diet, diet pills, exercise program, hip-hop routines, pilates, yoga.

Movies – top 10, 50, 100; great movie dialogues, from books to big screen

Hollywood gossip – just can’t get enough of this. It has been my guilty pleasure for so long.

Food / restaurant reviews – not just the hottest place but also the most hidden and not-so-popular ones. I also like those restaurants that can accommodate a few people at the same time. Then there’s also food festivals and wine/alcohol events.

Design / art – I want to surround myself with all types of art. I’m not one of those artsy-fartsy types. I just want to be consistently amazed by art whether it’s good or bad.

Invitations St Patrick's Day Party

My friends and I love celebrating St. Patricks Day for one reason. Beer and lots of beer! Seriously. If you read the St Patricks Invitations at Invitations-Shoppe, you’ll know that this day is all about fun and partying! Well aside from the real reason of course which is to mark the death of Ireland’s patron saint. Irish or non-Irish however, we still get excited whenever we see party invitations St Patrick’s Day whether it’s in our inboxes.

Now that you found another reason to party, check out the unique St Patricks party invitations at http://www.invitations-shoppe.com. They will print and ship your St Patricks Day invitations the same day you approve the proofs. And if you don’t like the designs that they have online, the guys from Invitations-Shoppe will come up with a special card design for you.

Personally though, who wouldn’t be able to resist these words “kiss me, I’m irish”?
