No, it’s actually a Posterous.
Guy Kawasaki aptly described it in his Holy Kaw Posterous:
For everything that’s slightly less than a blog post but slightly more than a tweet
You can use a little bookmarklet in your browser so you can easily post to your posterous like blogging on the go.
You can also post your blogs or pics through email.
It’s actually like Tumblr which I also have. (I call it my Jaymeblr. 
)
So many blogs, so little time.
Dear Fairy Godmother,
My old laptop’s wire recently melted (or at least that’s what it looked like) so it’s going in hibernation for awhile.
I know I should be buying it a new power cord so I can use it again. But I guess you know by now why I am writing you.
Can I have a new laptop in pink?
You know I’m not really the techie type and I tend to space out when we start talking about SDRAM, DDR and numbers that end with an MHZ so let me just show you what exactly I want.
It’s the hot Sony Vaio CS in Crocodile Pink.
Isn’t she pretty?
I promise I’ll take care of it and treat it better than my old Compaq.
I will even get it a pretty pink laptop bag too.
Pretty pink please?
Love,
Jayme
Makes me feel blessed to be living in the one of the greatest creations in the universe.
Suppose the travel genie appeared before me now and offered me a mini weekend trip, where would I go?
I’d wish to go to Australia for a nature adventure.
Though I don’t really know how to swim, I’d really love to explore the Great Barrier Reef.
The first time I went diving, there was a certain calm and awesomeness in underwater life that I found really captivating.
I’m sure the marine life in the Reef would be infinitely greater than that.
Then I’d go deep into the rainforest via the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. Nothing like the sight of nature to give you some sense of calm and peace.
Then for some downtime, I’d check in a lovely hotel like Novotel Cairns Oasis.
I’ll hang out by the pool.
I’ll take a luxurious one hour bath.
And curl up for some beauty sleep in their comfy suite.
Heaven.
(And the dream ends here.)

I want! I want!
I know it looks more like a back scratcher, but it’s actually a diffuser — something curly and wavy haired girls use to preserve their curls and waves while blowdrying.
I’m actually a blowdryer late bloomer, I’ve only recently learned to use the blowdryer after I discovered my hair looks better because of it.
I’ve been pretty lazy with my hair for a long time. I would tie it up, bun it and scrunch it without much thought.
I had to stop doing it though when clumps of my hair began to clog the bathroom drain.
You know how your hair looks wonderfully amazing right after a good cut and blowdry?
Well, I wanted to preserve that look after I got a cut so I taught myself how to comb and dry my hair properly.
Now I don’t leave home without doing it.
I just have to wake up a wee bit earlier so I could dry my hair nicely, but that’s a small price to pay for a good hair day.
The only thing I don’t like about blowdrying is the air feels harsh sometimes, it can be quite tiring plus if you’re clumsy at it (like I am sometimes) your hair can end up frizzy.
This Devafuser sure looks like a good helping hand to my blowdrying routine.

One potentially hot job for the coming years is that of an ISS – that’s a fancy kickass sounding acronym for Information Security Specialist.
As computers and the internet continue to progress, more and more people are gaining free access to any information they need.
But this also means the information gateway is open for spammers and hackers or what are called cyberterrorists.
With the increasing number of internet users as well as abusers, the ISS will serve as valuable gatekeepers to make sure the information systems remain secure.
Lewis University has an online MS in Information Security that can cover both the technical and managerial aspects of IS.
According to their website, the course is:
“…a highly dynamic online program that provides students with the technological and managerial tools to safeguard businesses and government agencies from the growing risks and threats to IT functionality, integrity and data privacy they face on a daily basis.”
Among the cool stuff you will learn are: Computer Forensics, Database Management and Securing Windows and Linux.
If you feel like you’re fit to be an ISS, read more about their courses at the Lewis University website.

I was just going through my make-up kit and I cleaned up some of the stuff I haven’t been using in a long time.
When I was done, it was surprising how I was able to pare down my beauty essentials to just a few items.
These are the three things that remained in my pouch that have become absolute favorites:
1. Revlon Beyond Natural Skin Matching Make-up
The liquid foundation comes out white but when you blend it on your face, it transforms into a shade of brown that matches your skin. I like how it evens up my skin tone naturally. I usually apply it right after my moisturizer so it blends easier.
2. Smashbox O-Glow
It’s an “intuitive lip gloss” that comes out clear from the tube then turns a lovely shade of pink when you apply it on your cheeks. It gives that healthy flushed natural look. The color doesn’t last the whole day though so you may need to re-apply later in the day.
3. Smashbox O-Gloss
Another intuitive product from Smashbox. This one transforms from clear to luciously pink. The product description says the shade will depend on your body chemistry so you get your own unique lip gloss shade. For me, sometimes it’s pale pink, other times it’s really intense pink, then there are rare days when it’s red. I’m not sure how that works but I do like the nice moisture it instantly gives my lips.
As you can see I’m a big fan of easy-to-apply products that takes the guesswork out of shades and matching.
With these three things, my make up routine lasts about 10 minutes tops.
Fabulously fast.
What’s in your make-up kit?
I guess the blogging bug just keeps... Tonis last blog post..Excuse me...
What I really want to do right now…
I want to go to a beautiful hotel, change into my pajamas and curl up in abed like this:
It’s a sleep number bed. Instead of coils and springs, this bed has air chambers that allow you to adjust the comfort, softness / hardness of the mattress.
I’d probably adjust the settings to something comfy soft so I could just sink in and relax.
See I’ve been trying to heal my coughs naturally with some success.
But perhaps getting a really good night’s sleep (and a warm loving hug) will help too.
Zzzz….
