Nice Quote


We must not settle for a lukewarm lover and mild happiness. For deep down we know that lukewarm will turn cold, and mild happiness will become a nameless sadness.

- Richard Bach in The Bridge Across Forever

What Your Shamrock Says About You

At times, people find you intimidating. You can be a bit sarcastic and harsh.

Amazing Video Clips

The following video clips from PostSecret and Toons amused me today. The one from Postsecret is a valentine-video and I know it’s really late for that now but it’s a very interesting clip just so I gotta share this. I’m not jaded by the way…but sometimes I love anti-love art 

Rain is a short film with good music and animation and the tagline ending there got me thinking...It rains because the universe weeps. Quite a good piece before the holy week vacation starts.

I am a Frappacino!

You Are a Frappacino
At your best, you are: fun loving, sweet, and modern

At your worst, you are: childish and over indulgent

You drink coffee when: you're craving something sweet

Your caffeine addiction level: low

Milk Bath

I love taking milk baths because they make my whole body feel baby-smooth and creamy. But . Try this more economical alternative!

You will need:
2 c powdered milk1 c cornstarch or baking soda
5-10 drops of your favorite scent of essential oils (optional but heavenly—e.g. are lavender, rosemary, sandalwood, rose)
Jar with lid

Mix the ingredients together and put into a lidded jar. When it’s time for your bath, put half a cup of this mixture straight into the bath and hop in, then melt away into creamy dreams.

Yummy Facial Mask


When it comes to beauty products, I am a sucker for all things natural and since B is going to a company outing this weekend, I plan to relax and pamper myself a little this weekend. Aside from having a manicure and pedicure, I will try this beauty recipe that promise to cleanse the pores and clear the face of pimples and blackheads.

Instant Milk and Honey Mask

Ingredients:
1 egg white (the yolk is easily removed)
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp papaya
2 tsp of yoghurt or powdered milk

Mix up the ingredients and apply it to your face (avoid the eye area).
Leave it 15 minutes, while you talk rest, listen to music, and then just rinse it off.

Your skin will feel toned and silky smooth! The papaya is a gentle cleanser that removes dead skin cells. This mask is also great for dry skin, as both yoghurt and honey are replenishing and moisturizing.

I am Ready to Be a Wife!

I am really having fun with these online quizzes. Great stress reliever and cute blog entry :-)

You Are Ready to Get Married
You've done more than dream about the dress and the honeymoon
In fact, you spend a good deal of your time thinking about what makes a relationship work
And from your answers, it looks like you have the skills to say "I Do" and mean it
You've dated enough, learned your fair share, and you're ready to settle down.

I am a Great Girlfriend!

This is a great result. Made me smile today!




You are a Great Girlfriend



When it comes to your guy, you're very thoughtful

But you also haven't stopped thinking of yourself

You're the perfect blend of independent and caring

You're a total catch - make sure your guy knows it too!

I am a Crossword Puzzle




You Are a Crossword Puzzle



You are well read, and you have a good head for remembering facts.

You are a wordsmith. You have a way with words, and you're very literate.

You are a mysterious person who enjoys dropping little clues every now and then.

Who Am I According to Art

A period of writer’s block that I can’t ignore, boredom at work, lack of sleep and the irritating thought that I was affected by the transport strike today led me to this website: Took this Visual DNA test and got interesting results. It says that I am an Easy Rider and a bit of a romantic with a taste for the exotic. Uhmm…true to some extent.

Perfect Wedding Song

I am listing nice wedding songs and I've only listed a few when I remember a very nice wedding song I have once heard and that is the song sung by Ms. Lea Salonga as part of her wedding vow.

The song's title was Two Words although at first I thought the title was I Do. I researched it on the net and for the second time watched it on YouTube. I was able to watched Lea's wedding on TV and her wedding is simply the best celebrity wedding I have seen so far. Simple, elegant, intimate, and so filed with love. The latter was probably what makes it so memorable and endearing. It is a wedding of no pretensions and overflowing with pure happiness.

I have seen many celebrity weddings which are both over publicized and laden with too much effort to make it appear perfect...most probably to please the audience and the press rather than themselves. There is nothing wrong with that except that somehow the wedding ends up more like a circus

I am not yet done with the wedding songs and I have to find the artists and add more songs… but the song Two Words will definitely be on the list. Here’s a copy of the lyrics and the video!


In a while, in a word,
Every moment now returns.
For a while, seen or heard,
How each memory softly burns.
Facing you who brings me new tomorrows,
I thank God for yesterdays,
How they led me to this very hour,
How they led me to this place...

Every touch, every smile,
You have given me in care.
Keep in heart, always I'll,
Now be treasuring everywhere.
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I hold this moment true?
No trace of sadness,
Always with gladness...
'I DO...'

(instrumental)

Now a song that speaks of now and ever,
Beckons me to someone new,
Unexpected, unexplored, unseen,
Filled with promise coming through.
In a while, in a word,
You and I forever change,
Love so clear, never blurred,
Has me feeling wondrous, strange,
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I face each moment true?
No trace of sadness, always with gladness,
'I DO...'

Never with sadness...
Always with gladness...

'I...DO....'

Tempus Fugit (Time Flies)


It’s a slow Tuesday afternoon considering the fact that I have a deadline to beat for this month: a number of original nursing articles. That is relatively easy if not for the fact that I still have to manage various websites. Well, I am definitely not complaining. I am working for a company with a very relaxed atmosphere.

Can’t help but notice that I am always relaxed now even if there is a deadline to beat. It’s both a good and bad thing. Good because I save myself from stress and anxiety but bad because I end up with loads of unfinished work to do. 

Anyway, I am browsing through various websites while trying to finish an article and at the same time looking for links for free Korean movies when I looked at the clock and God, it’s already 5 in the afternoon. I am stunned at how fast the time flies. I almost didn’t notice it go by.

Imagine It’s already the 4th day of March. We’ve entered the last month of the first quarter of 2008! I have quite a lot of plans for this year and I just hope that I will be able to accomplish all. Well it made me list these things:

What’s keeping me busy these days?


Work (writing and rewriting and editing article after article)
Managing websites
Promoting websites and blogs
Writing gigs (just finished one and looking for more)
Spending time with B
Playing with my nieces

Well not much huh (laughs) but those are quality time really. Also ould like to learn to learn to cook a dish or two, write a short story, and make money online, etc.etc.
