What is your favorite carnival/amusement park ride?
Roller coaster.

Soup
How do you react in uncomfortable social situations?
Ignore and walk away if possible. Keep quiet.

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy discussing deep, philosophical topics?
6-8. Really depends on the topic and the person I am talking to. If the person is not dogmatic and argumentative, the score will be higher. I mean if the person is mature enough to disagree without being disagreeable. Everyone can have strong opinions about something but let others make their own decisions after stating the point.

Main Course
Did you get a flu shot this year? If not, do you plan to?
Is this a yearly thing? I didn't and am not aware of this being a yearly thing.

Dessert
Approximately how many hours per week do you spend watching television?
None. I don't have any television.

Killing Me Softly

Not sure why I am starting this post with Roberta Flack's Killing Me Softly. Perhaps what I am going to write next is sentimental and mushy.

I was 16 and he was 17. Just like any other teenager, I wanted to know how it feels like to have someone special. I guess I was not really ready for any long term relationship at that time. The supposedly whirlwind of a romance only lasted less than a year. He wanted to get physical too fast and too soon and I am just not ready for THAT kind of a relationship.

I have to admit that I was the one who call the relationship off as I was not feeling comfortable anymore with his advances. How did he take the break up? Not good, I would say. He called me at unearthly hours drunk, it seems according to his friends! Surely there is a more amiable way to do this? If only I had known about writing a dear john letter then, things might not have gotten so messy.

I didn't get back into another relationship after that. My next relationship resulted in a happy marriage of 12 years and counting. Perhaps I should change the title of this post to Killing HIM Softly? I am not being mean nor funny here, just musing. At 16 and 17, I think we can both get over such episodes in life wiser and more mature. Enjoy the song...

1. Do you think as humans, we'd be better off *without* feelings? Why/why not?
Humans without feelings will not be humans. We will be robots or machines. That is why we feel for movies like Edward Scissorhands and Bicentennial Man

2. So, you have a bad day at work. You put up with the day and then you go home. What do you do to relax and prepare for another work day?
Rest with a cup of coffee ( I seldom drink tea), put on some instrumental soft music, take a warm bath and go to bed.

3. Do you worry about the big things (work, finances, tests) or the little things (broken cars, the house not being clean, a tear in your shirt)? Why?
Both, I guess. When things are not working as it should, it causes stress and anxiety whether big or small.

Vacation rentals

Winter is here to many living in the Northern Hemisphere of our globe. While those living in tropical countries may gasp with awe at seeing snow on trees and buildings, the fact of the matter is winter is not an easy season to live through. Many would rather go to sunny beaches with the tropical palm trees at the backdrop and sunbathing on the beach at this time of the year.

Did I say beaches? Well, you can find some popular beaches at the Miami Beach, Florida and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in the U.S.A. But what about accommodations? With the concept of timesharing where vacation rental by owner is practiced, the use and costs of running the resort or condominiums are shared among the owners. By extension of this, some owners are also letting out their beautiful condominiums, villas, luxury townhouses, cottages, cabins and islands to the public for a certain period of time.

You can check out these amazing Myrtle Beach vacation rentals and Miami Beach vacation rentals or believe it or not rent an island for a more private retreat too!

1. Are you a mentalist or an illusionist?
Mentalist-belief that everything exists in the mind: the belief that all objects of knowledge, including the physical universe, ultimately have no existence except as creations of the mind

Illusionist-

1. magician: a performer of magical tricks

2.painter who makes pictorial illusions: an artist who creates pictorial illusions

I don't really know the words so use dictionary to clarify the definitions first. I am neither a mentalist or illusionist, I guess. I believe things exist and not only the physical things which my eyes can see but also spiritual beings exist. Not ghost or spirits but God and angels which the eyes cannot see. As for illusionist, I don't consider myself creative nor artistic at all.

2. You’re on a roll. Do you feel the roll you’re on?

Again I am not too sure what on a roll means. According to that interview (transcript), I gather it is being popular or something? To cause others to take note? So how shall I understand or answer this? People don't usually feel they are on the roll, I guess. They always want to be more successful if they are on the entertainment business or any other business, generally. The day one say they are at the Top, they are already falling.

3. How many performances a week?

Not a performer either.

4. Is there a little bit of Evel Knievel in you?

Nope. I try to live my life safe and sound.

5. How much of what you do is physical, by the way?

Next to none unless household chores are considered physical. Actually, they can be. Argh...scrubbing, mopping, cleaning, washing...phew!

Soft spot for Wooden Furniture

I admit, I have a soft spot for wooden furniture. So when I saw this furniture store, I kind of went goo-goo-gaa-gaa over it. In case I am not being professional in my tone here, I meant to say I was absolutely enthralled and captivated by the site and of course the amazing furniture sets that you can imagine or dream of.

I mean the look at this Solid & Grand Scaled 4 Post Canopy King Queen Bed Bedroom Set (photo on top) which I think only exist in fairy tale stories fit for the princess or the royal family. After the bedroom, shall we adjourn to the living room? Actually the site has endless of variety and out of the hundreds of furniture sets there, this set caught my eye. Contemporary Modern Sofa Loveseat Living Room Set (photo on the right). It has a clean look to it. Not too cluttered with too much designs. One can be relax in the midst of such atmosphere.

Do you have a home office? Need a refurbish so you can feel more at ease to get the creative juices working? Well, there is a solution here as well. Check out this Classic Brown Oak Home Office Armoire Desk (photo on the left) and you can also have your favourite office sofa to go with that lovely compact Armoire Desk.

Therapeutic Moisturizing Lotion

Onesome: Therapeutic-- household addons: Do you use candles or aroma therapy or bath soaps or salts around your place?

Although I don't use any aroma therapy products but a friend gave me dried lavender hand picked from her own garden and they smell lovely. I do want to try some potpourri if I have the time or mood.

Twosome: Moisturizing?-- How's the weather been? It's the rainy season in the US; what's happening where you live?

It is also raining a lot in Malaysia here. Weather here is humid. I use moisturizer due to sensitive and dry skin. The air here is not really dry though.

Threesome: Lotion-- Since it's Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it's dry skin time (yes, you too, Mark!). Do you have any hand lotion suggestions for the gang?

I am not sure if baby lotion is strong enough a product to recommend. I use Johnson and Johnson Baby lotion.

A Futile Pursuit

On November 9, 1949, James Kidd, a 70-year-old copper miner, disappeared in the mountains of Arizona, U.S.A. Several years later, after he was declared legally dead, his pencil-written will was discovered, along with his investments worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. In his will Kidd stipulated that his money be used for research to find "some scientific proof of a soul of the human body which leaves at death."

Soon afterward, over 100 purported researchers and scientists applied for the funds. There were months of court hearings and thousands of claims suggesting the existence of an invisible soul. Finally, the judge awarded the money to two reputable research organizations. Well over half a century later, those researchers have yet to produce "scientific proof of a soul of the human body which leaves at death."

That was an excerpt that I had read recently. Well, my bible studies showed this to be true instead:

Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She´ol, the place to which you are going.

Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20 For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.

Ezekiel 18:4 Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.

The Bible does not teach that any part of a human survives death. Yet, it does offer an unmistakably clear hope for those who die, namely the resurrection.

Got funds from AlRajhi Bank

Just a small update from my previous post on withdrawing funds from Paypal to debit card, I got the funds in my Al Rajhi debit card today. Although Paypal said funds will be transfered from 5-7days, I got mine in the Al Rajhi savings account within 3 days. All transactions from Al Rajhi Bank can also be viewed online. So all is well and fine.

So it is possible now for Malaysians to withdraw their funds via debit card. This means even students, self employed folks and housewives can earn with Paypal. This is good news.

An interesting gift

Hmm...for many folks this is the time for gift giving and shopping. As I've wrote about the pet peeves of holiday shopping in a previous post, most folks hate the crowd and also the queuing at counters during the holiday shopping season. Nevertheless, there is an interesting gift that I would like to share with you. Have you thought about getting a digital photo frame?

• 2. Transfer your memory card into your Digital Photo Frame

Viola! As simple as 1-2-3

Five pet peeves or dislikes associated with shopping.

Give Me Five pet peeves or dislikes associated with shopping.

1. Looking for parking space during sales.

2. The crowd that is at the shops. Had to queue for trying out clothes or wait while browsing some of the stuffs.

3. Queue at the cashier. Sometimes with the crowd waiting and the cashier herself stressed out, many unwanted incidents can happen.

4. I like window shopping when I have the leisure time. Walking at the mall is a form of exercise for me. But I dislike shopping at unfamiliar shops when I need to BUY stuffs. It takes more time to search for what I want.

5. When parents allow their kids to throw tantrum at the shops. It drives me crazy!

Ski Property in Chamonix, France

Chamonix is a town and commune in eastern France, in the Haute-Savoie département, on the Arve River, near Switzerland and Italy. It is located at the foot of Mont Blanc. It is a popular location for summer and winter resort as it also serves as a starting point for expeditions to ascend the nearby Mont Blanc massif and to explore its glaciers. One of the world's highest cable-car systems links the town with a point near the summit of the Aiguille du Midi (3842 m/12,605 ft). In a concensus in 1999, it had a population of 9,830.

So can you imagine having a chamonix property amidst the back drop of snow peak mountains and beautiful greeneries? How does it feel like to wake up to the clean fresh air and clear blue sky? It is not a dream anymore. With the Ski Property Management company like Free Spirit International there is really a wide variety of choices of apartments and chalets that you can acquire.

Would you like to take a sneak peak at what kind of chamonix property are available? Some folks like the idea wood furnishings and paneling. Well, I for one would love wood panelings for my home but not in a tropical country, of course. Take a look at these gorgeous Chalet in Old Wood. These chalets are located in Les Houches which is a quiet resort village about 6km from Chamonix.

Week Number 93

Curious As A Cat

1) Name an event where the power of the crowd was inspiring.

I guess any sports events. I mean the cheers are deafening.

2) What is your oldest article of clothing that you still wear?

This is a tough one. A maroon coloured business jacket that my mother gave me.

3) If you were to describe your first "real" kiss, what would you say?

Hmm...curiosity, warm, eager...

4) When were you most moved by a ceremony?

My friend's wedding, not so much as the ceremony itself but they sang (the Bride and Groom) a love song to entertain us guests!

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Public Domain Photo

Looks like a Thanksgiving dinner? I could be wrong but that was what was on almost everyone's mind this whole month. I have seen turkey jokes, many photos of meals and dinner for the past two weeks or so.

Paypal to Debit Card-Malaysians

As a Malaysian, I am simply thankful and delighted that Paypal had recently allowed non USA residents to withdraw paypal funds via debit cards. Prior to this you either need a US bank account or credit card to withdraw paypal funds. This being said, I still need to search high and low for the appropriate debit cards because not all debit cards are accepted.

At first I got the NextG debit card from AmBank, and when I could verify my paypal account, I was so excited. Then I was told by Paypal that I could not withdraw funds using a MasterCard. Only Visa is allowed for withdrawal purpose though the verifying went through alright.

I find Steven's blog really informative in providing the neccesary steps in addition to the cards that are currently successful in withdrawing paypal funds using debit cards. He also gave a link to 5xmom's opinion which further helped me decide to go for the Al Rajhi Bank debit card cum ATM and savings account. You have the choice to open a current account too. As this is a rather new bank, there are only about 10 branches or so in the Klang Valley. I went to the Petaling Jaya, New Town one which the address is No.2 Jalan 52/10, PJ New Town.

So this is like my testimonial that I am able to apply for the card and withdraw my paypal funds all on the SAME day. I agreed with 5xmom that service at Al Rajhi Bank is excellent and without hassle.

Resolve

"When there is a will, there is a way."

I have been reading some dieting and juicing books recently. It all comes down to resolve and determination. Dieting is a fifty-fifty proposition: 50 percent will and 50 percent won't. When you decide not to drive down the wrong way on a one way street, you decide there and then based on the fear that your new pearl necklace won't fit around a neck brace.

So many times have these diets promised results without effort. A "healthy" snack bar 3 times a day is all it takes, your favourite chocolate shake for every meal, drink nothing else but "diet" coke, etc. Don't be fooled by these types of fad diets. Changing your diet means to change your way of life. And that will take some resolve. You'll have to decide to change the way you think about food, about comfort, about yourself.

Saying no to food will be the easy part. Saying yes to new attitudes, new disciplines, new life habits-that's the hard part. It's a New You resolution, not a New Year's resolution. So getting started is a "will" thing.

Organizing your Garage

Honestly speaking, does your garages looks like this picture below?



How nice would it be if you can transform your garage into this instead?

Well, you can now get cool looking tool cabinets without hassle.Would you prefer a tool box on wheels or a tool cabinet built into your garage? Perhaps you prefer the shine of silver? No problem. Feast your eyes on these.

These cabinets and tool boxes can be fitted custom made into your garage and it also comes with wheels that make your work in the garage a breeze. You won't have difficulty cleaning your garage floors too! The designs can be made to match your current garage cabinets too. So whether it is the sleek looking tool cabinets on wheels or just traditional tool cabinets that you need, you can get them at CarGuyGarage.com

~ TAG ENDS HERE ~

To be honest, I didn't start blogging for the sole purpose of publishing my creative works (not that I have any) or to put my personal life on the internet. I am a rather private person though sociable. I mean I am friendly and likes to make friends but I am still a little reluctant to write very personal stuff online. I started this blog as a means to communicate with my members when I was running a PaidToClick site. I had long closed the site now.

By the time I have decided to close the site, I had a few months and perhaps 20-30 posts by then. I felt that it was a waste to delete this blog as it was named in such a way to be open ended and I can write whatever I want to from then on. I had Adsense ads only from the beginning and I used to put PaidToRead and PaidtoClick banners on the blog. I still have one or two small ones at the bottom. Other than that, since I've learn a few more sites that pay bloggers for posting and also learn some tips at blogging community such as BlogCatalog, I am more serious about earning through blogging now.

This blog is now sponsored by PayPerPost, Blogsvertise, Bloggerwave, and Smorty. I am still on the search for more sites that I can earn from and if any readers and probloggers who are experienced and would like to share more of such similar sites, please be so kind to let me know.

The earnings are used for paying the internet bills for sure and if there is surplus would be channeled to the family's monthly expenses.

* There is only one rule that I would break for this tag and that is to tag another two publishers. I don't know anyone for now but will list them when I find them.

Cartridge Finder

Although I don't use the printer as my hubby takes care of whatever that needs printing done. But as I see how frustrated he gets with the refilling of the ink in the printer and the different ink cartridges that he has to juggle with, it is really not a wonder that I leave all the printing jobs to him. Never the less there are sites on the internet that can help us find out which products we need and get us through to some potential suppliers. One of such site is the Cartridge Finder

Whether for personal or professional use, Cartridge Finder can help locate the suitable suppliers and even provide users with informed choices about the printers and machines in the available market.

Blog Smart - Blog with Smorty

Have you heard of Smorty? This is a site that pays you for blogging about the topics that you like. If you are a blogger like me who doesn't want to be told what to write about anything which we are not familiar with just for a few quick bucks but would genuinely wish to be compensated for the time and creativity to maintain and promote a blog, well, you can blog for money with Smorty.

There are advertisers that need your opinion and reviews on their products and services. If you have more than one blog, then you are also in line to earn better with Smorty. Getting approved is not difficult but all is fair in every business and there are some rules that one need to adhere to. Blogs must have a root domain like www.domain.com and not use www.domain.com/myblog, however one can use subdomains such as www.myblog.domain.com. One is expected to keep a blog live and permanent and not delete post after being paid. Oh, and did I mention that you get paid WEEKLY after the posts are being approved? There is no minimum payout. Approval usually takes within 72 hours. I think this is the shortest waiting period in the market there is. The payment processor used is PayPal.

Nothing gets easier if you want to get paid for blogging, so Blog Smart-Blog with Smorty!

Short Message Service-SMS

The Short Message Service (SMS), often called text messaging, is a means of sending short messages to and from mobile phones. SMS was originally defined as part of the GSM series of standards in 1985 as a means of sending messages of up to 160 characters, to and from GSM mobile handsets. Since then, support for the service has expanded to include alternative mobile standards such as ANSI CDMA networks and Digital AMPS, satellite and landline networks. Most SMS messages are mobile-to-mobile text messages, though the standard supports other types of broadcast messaging as well.

The term SMS is frequently used in a non-technical sense to refer to the text messages themselves, particularly in non-English-speaking European countries where the GSM system is well-established.

I first got into short messaging service (SMS) when my siblings went overseas for studies and my sister who married off to Australia. It does seem awkward at the beginning but the usefulness and often less intrusive method of communication due to different time zone or if they are too busy to speak on the phone, soon made this service really popular with me.

Nevertheless, there is one disturbing trend that I abhor with this service and that is the culture that goes with it. The text abbreviations that completely decimate the English language- grammar, spelling and vocabulary. As a tutor involved in academic education, I cringe at spelling mistakes and the fact that folks using the SMS services just "spell" words according to the homophone of a word rather than the actual spelling.

Personally, I tell whomever that is messaging to type as completely a sentence as possible and I always answer in full sentence and full spelling. What about you? What are your experiences with SMS?

Blogging Tips and Resources that I Use

Since I have using the blogger platform for some time now, I have sourced out some materials that I frequently use whether for changing my blog's layout or getting the calendar archive and tag cloud. Here are some of the sites that had helped me until now. I will list them out here for they may be of use to you as well.

Is your role model someone famous or not? Who is your role model?
I think my role model is world class famous. His name is Jesus Christ.

Which is more important to you: Actions or words?
Actions speaks louder than words. But words are important too.
As apples of gold in silver carvings is a word spoken at the right time for it. - Proverbs 25:11

Do you forgive easily or hold a grudge?
I forgive easily. I have a poor memory in this aspect.

What is the last lie you told? What is the last lie someone told you?
I exercise my right to remain "silent" for this question. Lies are not something to be taken lightly nor tolerated for me personally and my household no matter how small or insignificant.

Would you rather be with someone for the wrong reason or alone for the right reason?
If it is a marriage partner, barring excruciating circumstances such as life threatening issues to self or others (though I have no children) and other such circumstances, I would stick to the husband and work things out no matter how difficult it can be.

If it is some other relationships like friends, be alone for the right reason. Such as when so called friends decide to lead immoral lives, risking their lives with extremes, then no point in carrying on the relationship.
