Shopping tomorrow?

26 January 2008

I am thinking of going out for some shopping tomorrow morning.  It has been a while since I went to the mall for any shopping or even window shopping.  The last I was at any mall was the day before I left for my vacation to Malaysia.  Actually I did a lot of shopping 5 months before.  I even did some online shopping which was the best invention ever.  Nadine is one heck of a designer shopping freak.  I suppose I would do the same if I had that kind of money like she has.  She loves to shop online with  Bluefly coupon, so I guess there is no point in asking her if she wants to go shopping with me tomorrow morning.

ABCDE link

Rule #1

Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate alphabet. If your domain name, or even the title of your blog, starts with an ” A,” you’d replace the link under that alphabet and put the replaced link at the bottom. Also, don’t forget to credit the tagger, or where you got the list from, at the end of the list with a full URL of the post so that a pingback gets generated.

1. A. acowboyswife.com
2. B. bloggingcents.com
3. C. caffeine-overload.com
4. D. delusionsofgrandeur.com
5. E. enjoyingtheride-jenn.blogspot.com
6. F. forumfinder.net
7. G. gotic-peach.net
8. H. happykeg.com
9. I. ipentimento.com
10. J. julianarw.blogspot.com
11. K. kabalyero.com
12. L. ladylike4.com
13. M. michaelpark.net

24. X. xaviermedia.com
25. Y. yimto.com
26. Z. zbudapest.com

Replaced link: thinking-outloud.com
Previous tagger: ruangsudut.blogspot.com

Rule #2

You now have to “tag” at least five people and encourage them to participate so that this thing spreads like a virus. Remember, though, that not everyone’s into these kinds of things, so don’t be upset if they don’t participate. Just simply replace your tag. Remember to tag blogs only and no pornographic ones as we do want to keep the integrity as a blogging community. TIP: Tag your frequent EntreCard droppers via its messaging system.

I am tagging : Stef, simple america (and that’s all I’m tagging)

Rule #3
Just like any other “meme” out there, ask a question for your tagges to answer along with your own answer to your previous question. This is optional.

Same sex marriages

25 January 2008

I was on the phone with a friend this evening and we had a conversation in regards to same sex marriage how she supports it by legalizing it, but I am the opposite.  I don’t care if you gay/lesbian but I do not believe in same sex marriage.  Yes, some companies do not include their significant other/partner in the insurance coverages.  She told me about her instructor who is gay and her partner was involved in an accident and almost in a vegetable state.  She was sent to a nursing home by the girl’s parents after she came out from her coma, where I suppose in a nursing home they do not have to purchase incontinence supplies.  Because there was no insurance coverage provided for the instructor’s girlfriend, this poor girl had to stay in the cheapest nursing home and now that she is living with the instructor who is caring for her occupational and physical therapies, she is able to walk and move her arms. 

I still think that companies nationally should include the employees’ partners to the benefits package, but do not pass the damn law to legalize the marriage - so that they can “have” kids which I have read in the news that many gay couples are doing now.  But isn’t it weird, as a child to be brought up with a pair of parents of the same sex?  My coworker and I had this conversation before since our company has this employee resource group for the gay/lesbian and trans-gender, we two totally disagree with congress passing the law on same sex marriage.  I know some states has this law passed, California as one of them, and I think Maryland, too.  And if the Democrats wins the Prez election, we will definitely won’t be seeing this same sex marriage thingy.  Anyways, my thoughts do not worth a cent…..

Photohunt: Old-fashioned

25 January 2008

PhotoHunters

This week’s theme is Old-fashioned.  It was not too easy for me to look for some thing that is oldfashion in manner.  Nothing in our house look oldfashioned enough and I didn’t want to go out in the snow scouting around either.  I looked through my Photobucket and found a few pictures that I consider “oldfashion”.   These pictures were taken in my parents’ home during my last visit.

Picture of my grandfather hanging in the dining room.  He was dressed in the typical Chinese men’s attire back in the early 1900s, I think.  I don’t think men in China now dress like this anymore.

This is my mom’s sewing machine.  I don’t see this oldfashion sewing machine around much as it is being replaced by the modern electric ones.

Nice to have

24 January 2008

This is what Nadine bought, this set of home theater lighting for their brand new home theater.  They recently renovated their home and the home theater is one of them with really plush carpets.

She bought two sets of the the above wall lightings, all of them sitting nicely up on the walls.  The color of the new wall lights definitely enhanced the lighting and the decor in the room.  There is also a full wet bar, yes, a bar fully loaded with beer, booze, and pop of your choice.   On top of that, both Nadine and hubby have a dog, they bought a special dog bed for the retriever.   The puppy must be in heaven on earth!

PR down to zip

22 January 2008

Yep, it is here, my page rank of my blog has dropped from 3 to 0.  I actually anticipated it to drop sooner but it hung on for a few months.  I suppose it was enough for me to grab some good paying posts at that moment.  I’m not going to piss and moan about the zero rank.  Definitely I wouldn’t be getting those high paying posts to buy myself a Technomarine watch, but I’m fine with it at the moment.  Other opportunities will pop up.  I might become a placement media specialist if I really want to spend the money to learn this skill.  I will talk about it later when I am ready for it.  For now, I will go with what I have available for me to write for extra cash, and since I am back in school, I won’t have much time to write anyways.   Google can take the rank as much as it wants, I am content with the few months of PR3 I had.  I never expect a lot of readers to my blog anyway, so I am not sad or feel like fixing the problem. 

Favorite snack at the moment

22 January 2008

That’s it, it is this muruku snacky thing that I cannot go without every day.  What’s written on the package “The snack with the crunch & the punch”.  Damn straight it is.  I brought these packets of muruku, courtesy of my sis, all the way from Ipoh; actually it should be from Singapore/Ipoh/KL/US.  They are no longer the curly muruku but bits and pieces muruku.  Yet they are still so good.  Both Db and I are trying so hard not to eat so much of these.  He said it’s easy to place the order but it’s not easy to get it. 

Oh yeah, there’s another item that we are still eating it slow.  Remember this cake?

dsc01168.JPG

Yeppers, we still have 2 pieces left.  DB said he can eat the entire cake all by himself, but he knows what he’s gonna get if he did.  We had two small pieces on Sunday and he told me to place the order in now.   Ahemmmm, sis, did you read that? :D  I told him he will have to pick it up across the big pond if he wants the cake so bad.
