You made me  a little sad today. That pair of Air Max 90s was my birthday and Christmas gift for my hubby. It was the most expensive gift I’ve ever given him. I spent my well-deserved bonus on those shoes. I stayed late in Gateway with my friends just so I could go home exactly [...]

“Mommy, let’s buy Baby Jaguar…”
Jamaine was watching Dora the Explorer when she blurted out that she wanted to have Baby Jaguar. I had to explain to her that jaguars are actually animals who live in the wild and they are not for sale. (Unless you become a high rank and/or wealthy politician who can keep [...]

It’s me again.
I guess you know by now why I’m writing you. But in case you’re wondering if I’ve fallen in love with another pink laptop, I haven’t. Yet.
I know I’ve mentioned I liked this fashionable little netbook and this sleek white Mac, but I’m still pretty loyal to my dream laptop in pink.
My trusty [...]

I’ve been going on some late nights recently and I could see my skin doesn’t like it. I’ve been mostly on an external pop and spot treatment mode but I realized an internal preventive measure may be better.
I mean there’s a lot of exposed acne treatment products that may be effective in ridding my surface [...]

Loving Leverage

Leverage TV series

I’ve never been a fan of TV series but Leverage has got me hooked.
I watched Smallville and Heroes before but I didn’t feel compelled to finish them. Leverage has some mind games involved and I was wowed right from the first episode.
Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman) is so cool. It’s funny how Sophie’s a terrible stage [...]

Paris Hilton dog mansion

Wow.
The things that money can buy.
I caught this photo of Paris Hilton’s luxurious dog mansion in my feed reader and I thought she must really, really love her pets.
Imagine spending $325,000 on a dog house complete with mini furniture, lush beds, a packed wardrobe and a black chandelier. These dogs are quite lucky.
Luckier than [...]

I’ve often wondered if sexy women featured on ads for men do influence their buying tendencies.
For example, you needed air intakes for your car, would you prefer to buy the product on this ad because of her?

I don’t see how her cleavage, her sideswept bangs and her backside have anything to do with a car [...]

Sleep number bed

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
