kokopelli-tribal-tatt I have been wanting a kokopelli tattoo since I was 15 and finally close to 10 years after I have finally made the decision to do it. The image above is what I would like to have tattooed at back of my neck. Nice eh?

Several modes of races have sprung forth and one source for those interested in racing is the atv magazine. If you are interested to learn more, check out the magazine as they have several products, photos, videos and articles that will provide you with much information about the race.

It would also give you a list of upcoming events and destinations. How To articles and videos are also available for free. Then there’s the forum to post whatever question you have where other users get to respond. Cool isn’t it?

I finally got my hands on the YuYu Hakusho manga. I managed to buy all volumes and am quite pleased with my collection. I also bought another volume of Rurouni Kenshin amongst others. Weeeeee Singapore sure has a lot of manga in store.

One method of losing weight is through belly dancing. Though not that popular here in the city there is one shop that offers belly dancing lessons. I have googled for belly dancing images and let’s take a look at this image below:

She looks really gorgeous and her costume is very colorful and stunning. A friend’s advice of how to get rid of belly fat is through dancing, belly dancing that is. Another friend suggested going for hip hop and R&B dance lessons. I’m not sure which one to go for as I am not a dancer but it sure looked fun.

I know it sounds ludicrous and out of character especially if you know me personally but there’s always one thing I want to do before I get all wrinkly and old but I haven’t found the right time no I take it back I haven’t reached the point where I am confident enough to do it. But hopefully I get to do it before I reach 30 and before I get married should I ever get there. So what I want is to have someone paint me in the nude … yep you read that right. A nude painting of myself in my prime, I realized I cannot do this while I am here … I mean it has to be done by someone I’d only just for this purpose and to never see again. I’d prolly do this during one of my travels … the goal now is to look fit and feel confident enough to do it.

I just found out that part of our benefits working in the company am in now is a life insurance from a leading insurance company in the country. It’s a good thing I found out before I decide to get one from a friend who has been convincing me to get one from her for years now. It would have been unnecessary and redundant lol. But I still have to understand the mechanics of the insurance we have at work, am not even sure how much is being decremented from out monthly salary as contribution. Guess I’ll have to send an email to HR and see how that works.

Someone’s turning a year older next week amongst my circle of wacky friends and every year coming up with a gift for me is just pain staking. lol It’s not that he is picky or maybe he is slightly but it’s like that Justice League episode of Superman’s birthday where Bruce Wayne asked what do you give a man who has everything? So this year we have agreed to get him a box of Black and Mild cigars from Duty free.

A friend of mine has been convincing me to leave my current job as it raises my blood pressure every so often and has caused me stress more than ever.  Operation job search as she calls it is what we’ve been doing every time we happen to be online at the same time.  So far we’ve found several sites providing us info on jobs abroad and locally but I haven’t decided yet. We’ll see.

In this time of the year it is expected that everyone will be gaining weight due to the parties left and right. So a friend of mine has already mentioned preparing some sort of fat burners kind of pills to counter the effects of the food she has been gobbling from parties she gets invited to. lol

As for me, being anti-social I haven’t been to a single party this year.

If you are interested in investing on any type of insurance it is advisable that you know the pros and cons first, you could get a life insurance online quote before signing up. It’s just a matter of searching online for the appropriate insurance company offering such a service. Google it and pretty sure there would be several results, read through them and see which one would suit your needs and budget.

I saw something like this in one the start up malls I visited last week and I thought their security cameras are rather obvious lol. I was thinking that these devices should be hidden and inconspicuous so as  prevent potential robbers from noticing not until after they are caught in the act anyways. So when I saw it … I said to myself it must be because they just started maybe in due time they will change it.

Don’t you think this particular piece of ornament is perfect for any light fixture project? Well I think it’s gorgeous don’t you think so?  Anyways you could actually get them for less than a hundred dollars, isn’t that amazing??? I used to think these goodies would cost a whole lot more but after doing a bit of search online I found a site selling them for a very good deal.

My rather frequent asthma attack has caused me to be back on steroids again second time around for this year and based on my experience being on steroids gave me tremendous weight gain and though my asthma made me loss some weight but now am back on track with the weight gain problem. lol.

*sigh* But I think weight loss would my least of my worries getting through my medication and staying well is the top of my list.

Christmas is fast approaching and right now I am looking forward to sales and huge discounts from malls with just about everything. But the primary item on my list is a tv stand I had this delayed till the holiday seasons hoping to get it on sale. Hehehe Most appliance stores would go on sale with just about everything and if am lucky they might have a few tv stands on sale. So patience is once again an amazing virtue.

There was this movie where in the family was living in a trailer van and I thought how cool that’d be if such a setup existed here it might be cheaper coz you don’t have to pay for monthly rent and what not. Then I realized that like every other type of vehicle there is also what is called a motorhome insurance which every trailer home owners must have. Then I guess that’s another form of rent???

fromdeoandantheaSometime last September the cute couple (D and Thea) went to Hong Kong and since I’ve been there myself I offered tips and what nots and truth be told I was very excited for them, it’s like am the one going there instead of them. lol. So when they got back they brought me this cute chopstick … awwww .. isn’t that nice???

Thanks much!

I’ve always wanted to see Europe since I was a little girl and mom used to say someday you will. Now that am of age am thinking of doing just that with or without companion though I’d prefer to go with someone, it’d be so much fun if you’re travelling with a friend. So Lizzy and I are looking for travel deals online and see what’d fit our budget. Hopefully we’d be able to put this into action sometime next year.

Not really a die hard Jennifer Aniston fan but I’ve grown to love her movies they’re light and romantic, she’s got this girl next door appeal that made the movie sweet. In this movie she’s playing the role of Katie … the girl who’s successful career wise but is still single while seeing her friends getting married one by one. And the leading man is Jay Mohr (he looks so cute here) and the rest is … *sigh* watch the movie and you’ll prolly love it. Light, simple and romantic.

Am not really your typical sassy girl and though there were time where I really tried to be one it was too taxing for me. My friends can’t go out of the house without light makeup and it’d usually take them more than an hour to get ready which is rather annoying if you ask me. I’ve seen Lizzy’s beauty corner in her room it consists of a huge mirror, table and a buch of day cream, lotions, lipstick and a bunch of other stuff I clearly don’t have a clue. I was told there’s a certain order to follow when applying them … arrrghhh!

I was done watching Season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and now am watching it’s spin off show, Angel which stars David Boreanaz, Charisma Carpenter, Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker and J. August Richards alongside James Marsters.  I know this is so old school but boy am glad I finally get around to watching it. When this was actually broadcasted it was either I was too busy with school and being high school or the restrictions were just too tight or maybe both.

*sigh* I wouldn’t mind falling for a vampire with a soul as good looking and as brooding as Angel.

Looking through model houses alongside a good friend of mine is kinda an amazing experience, the model houses were not only beautiful houses with fancy paint colors and elegant gates and railing and French windows its also complete with all the possible furniture anyone could think of sofa sets, dining room, bedroom and all that stuff. So while looking through one of the houses the real estate agent is showing us and there’s this very elegant Murray Feiss chandelier displayed on the living room. So Faye kinda got attached to it and just vowed to get one of those chandeliers anytime soon.

Had she been alive today would be her 61st birthday. Spent some time in the cemetery to celebrate life and death and to remind myself that life must go on no matter what.

I miss you Ma, so bad it hurts …

Several insurance companies have come to the office offering us several sort of deals all very difficult to refuse not that they were really that irrisistable but because the reps are just very persistent. We get all sorts of insurance marketing campaigns from phone calls, to emails and now to text messages. Whew!! I wish they’d stop, they’re all annoying if you ask me, I mean if someone really wants to get an insurance policy am sure that person would come knocking on their doors. **Sheeesssshhh**

Someone said he’ll go get some sort of wheels before the year ends and I told him dude, wheels are a liability and he’s damn stubborn. So I guess all of us (friends) are in on the hunt for the cheapest and greatest auto insurance deal we can find. The target is before the year ends and he plans on using the coming 13th month pay to add to what he already has to buy that dream car of his. Hope it’d be enough by then, we’re looking at a 300 to 400 grand.

This picture reminds me of the setup at my tutee’s home, several classroom chairs and a table where we do our lessons and the activities that comes with it. I missed them already and I guess I was really enjoying myself which is good. It gives me little time to mope around instead I get to use my extra time coming up with lessons and activities for the kids.

I’ve been meaning to get a new pair of eyeglasses since last year but I’ve never come to terms of actually getting one. Time, money and a bunch of other things get in the way … lol and I’ve out of sorts lately, headaches and all that. But I’ve been searching online for cool and cheap deals and guess what I’ve found, $ 8 Rx eyeglasses online … literally 8 USD. They’ve even been given comments such as High Five to Zenni Optical and a friend said something about Zenni Optical on TV!!! some week ago. Isn’t that cool?

I know this is so old school but I’ve had the chance to get hold of a copy of the complete set from seasons 1 to 7 and am watching it one by one. I love it, I’ve always been a huge fan.

A friend of mine was gone for over a week as he had undergone an operation called apendectomy all charged to the Medicare supplementhe had subscribed to. Apparently the HMO coverage at his work does have much to pay for the cost of the operation. Am not sure what my HMO coverage covers and how much is the limit, there was a manual given somewhere and I think I still have it stashed somewhere. lol I guess I can just ask our company nurse about it.
