SoupWhen was the last time you purchased something for your home, what was it, and in which room did it go?A comforter set plus bedsheet and matching pillow cases which goes into the bedroom naturally. SaladWhat is the funniest commercial you’ve ever seen?It has been quite a while since I've watch TV. I don't remember any off hand. But there is one on radio about abusing domestic animals that is rather cute. The two "animals" were telling how they were not given food and beaten by their owners. Then they whimper and cried. It is not funny in the humorous sense but the animal voices made by the advertisers are. Of course, this is a serious message and in Tamil language but my husband told me the gist of it. Another one on radio is about a guy who was text messaging on his mobile while driving, he crashed his car and made some regrettable sound on the radio. That is funny but ... More About: Feast

Hmmm...Teacher, architect, accountant, psychiatrist but teacher came as close as it gets.I was teaching tuition part time to primary school students. Twosome: and-- how did you end up where you are (currently) if that didn't happen? (Students, you can talk majors and changes and such!)I teach tuition to support my volunteer service at the church.I needed a part time job to devote more time to spiritual pursuits. Nevertheless, I was not well for a while and I had to stay home more than the usual. I was bored and depressed. So I tried to surf the internet to see what I can do to earn money. I didn't have any experience about online stuff and neither did I take up any course to learn computer terms. It was all through trial and error. I joined forums and asked lots of questions. That took up a lot of time but I was occupied. Threesome: Far Away-- from any thoughts of the Super Bowl? Are you tuning in? No? ...
Domain Registration
2008-01-31 03:34:00 The 'domain name' business is becoming more and more competitive these days. No one company monopolizes this business. Domain names can now be purchased from many different companies. So while choosing the proper domain name is of utmost importance, we do well to consider the question is, "Does it matter which domain registrar I choose?"Actually the answer is yes, it does. Although domain registration by any registrar gives you the same ownership rights to a domain name, registrars' service and features vary greatly. Some offer free DNS service (the "phone book" for the Internet by translating human-readable computer hostnames, e.g. www.example.com, into the IP addresses, e.g. 208.77.188.166) and free web forwarding (redirect to another webpage), others do not. Some offer better support than others. If you need to make name or address changes to your registration, transfer and renewal or have questions about your domain name, you will need to deal with...

Where to get user reviews for trusted cash advance sites?
2008-01-31 02:07:00 All the sayings and promoting from "non users" of these cash advance and payday loan sites will not do much to convince and persuade the ever expanding and competitive market out there.

To get reviews from users about payday loans or just to view votes on a particular company that you are interested in, you can visit the site.How does the site rank the companies? After the staff at TrustSource.org had gathered some important information about sales data, consultations with the professionals in related fields, consultations with customers or users of a certain company and the reviews or feedback from the users, the company that qualifies certain criteria will then be posted to be compared and viewed by potential customers.

Manic Monday
2008-01-28 13:10:00 If you could have a servant come to your house every day for one hour, what would you have them do?I think the chore that I would like some help would be mopping and cleaning the window grills. That takes up time. Of course it doesn't need to be done daily. Another thing is, cooking, I suppose. I can't cook. That can be done daily within one hour. Has your life ever been changed by an apparently random occurrence?When I read this question, I am only thinking about people who might had an accident or being at the wrong place at the wrong time like at the scene of a crime or a shoot out. But no, nothing like that happened in my life.You're having dinner with several friends and acquaintances. They all criticize a close friend of yours (not knowing he/she is a friend). The criticism is unjustified. What would you do?I will defend my friend. More About: Monday , Manic Monday , Manic

But I like my hair short because having long hair is not so good for my skin condition. It causes some rashes at the back of my neck and forehead. 2) Do you remember the first time you were on the internet? What did you do first?I first started being interested in the internet to find out about earning online. I was not into games, music or movies then. I mean those were not my priority and neither are they now. So I got into paid to read or paid to click (PTR/PTC), surveys, investments and all sorts of stuff. And now somehow through the forums and friends, I got into blogging.3) If you could pair up any two single people you know, who would you pick?This is a tricky question and I am not much of a match maker.

Stretch Marks Solution
2008-01-27 16:34:00 You know there is a down side to dieting and controlling one's weight? That is having stretch marks. The first time I saw these marks on my belly, I thought I was having some other skin out break again. I don't have children so I am not even aware of what are stretch marks. As I became more aware about this matter, I looked for ways to prevent stretch marks.Apparently, not all products are effective and there is a high percentage of one getting scammed with fake creams that are more like moisturizer than preventing stretch marks. The key to effective stretch mark creams is the ability to support and repair collagen that we have. Collagen is the support of infrastructure for our skin. Like all beauty products, some websites will push certain brands of stretch mark cream for revenue purposes rather than the effectiveness of the product.There are some tests that had been conducted by a personnel of a hair and skin salon which they had great success using the revitol stretch mark crea...

Office filing cabinets and bookcases
2008-01-27 13:22:00 The adage "there is always room for improvement" is especially true for organizing your office space. See, room needs to be improved. Pardon the pun but it is what I have in mind about improving the office space in my study room. I work from home so it is very necessary to keep things in order so as not to clutter up my small apartment. At the moment I use plastic ones but wouldn't mind looking into some other types of filing cabinets. If space is not a constrained, I would like filing cabinets that gives wide spaces rather than going higher. This is for easy location of the files. Steel cabinet is more durable than the wooden ones obviously but if I can choose, wooden ones always gives a more homely feeling but the steel ones will give a more professional look if one is looking for office furniture. Nevertheless, these days wooden cabinets are looking so good and they come with a 8 year guarantee too while the metal ones have up to 15 years of guarantee.There is definitely room fo...

Creative Adventure X
2008-01-26 07:53:00 1. While on vacation in Europe I decided to visit an old landmark Inn at the top of the cliffs. The Inn was the place to stay for the rich and famous during the turn of the 20th century. As I rode along the winding road up to the top I noticed a very beautiful lady dressed in a neat suit and a hat. She seems composed. Then I noticed her smiling and she blew a kiss to me! I was a little embarrassed and baffled.2. Gathering my senses I continued to the Inn grounds and drove the long unkempt driveway to the now abandoned building. Stepping out of my car I walked to the door and found a yellowed leaflet, all torn and tattered lying by the side of the entrance. I can't help but pick it up as I noticed the poster is of a very beautiful and exotic lady. Well, she is almost nude in the photo but one can't miss the sensual post and alluring costume that she is wearing. I don't recognize the face and the leaflet really looked old and worn out.

Traditional Childhood Games-Batu Seremban and Congkak

I don't really depend so much on computers or the television in my younger days.In fact I only started using computers in my 30s. I would like to share some not so common games with you. I think they are local games to Malaysians. Batu Seremban or five stones is a game originally played by the girls either individually or in a group. This is a game that needs five stones or five round objects to play with. I remember sewing these small pillows and filling them with rice. The objective of the game is to throw one of the stones one at a time and sweeping another on the floor simultaneously catching the one you threw earlier on. The steps get more complicated as it gets through the stages. As kids it is easier to observe and learn than to read the steps here. Congkak is a game suitable for two players using a board which has several houses and storehouses. I actual... More About: Childhood , Games , Traditional
