Got this hot from the press again. It certainly looks like she has medical questions for her doctor. It was reported that she finding it a burden to carry her twins. She has been complaining of being tired, sick and irritable. Side effects from birth control pills the last time? I doubt it. She is also suffering from gestational diabetes which she had just discovered only recently. I am surprised that she has gestational diabetes but perhaps, its a common condition amongst pregnant woman. But I am not surprised that she may be a little weaker compared to her previous pregnancy as she is carrying twins for one and from the picture above, doesn’t she look like she is on some diet pills? She looks awfully skinny for someone who is pregnant. Hope she is better and taking better care of her health..at least for the sake of the herself and her babies.

Everyone will have acne breakouts once in their lifetime. It’s actually a skin disease, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Acne lesions are usually referred to as pimples, spots, or zits.Acne affects people mostly during adolescence, affecting more than 85% of teenagers, and frequently continues into adulthood. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear, or at least decrease, after one reaches his or her early twenties. However, there is no way of predicting how long they will stay or disappear. Some will have acnes even though out their adult lives.
The most common form of acne is known as “acne vulgaris”, meaning “common acne”. Many teenagers get this type of acne. At times, there is no effective acne treatment, only time will tell. However, I have heard some who will resort to laser treatment if the break outs are extremely severe. But it is not proven that the acne will disappear completely. Proper diet and hygiene will help in minimizing the effects of acnes. Drink plenty of water, fruits and proper health care, that should be the minimum required apart from external use of treatment products such as acne cream and even facial.

Do you remember your wedding day? Or more precisely, your pre-wedding days? Anyways, I was having a chat with my cousin who is getting married end of this year. But before that, for us, we would always have the formality of taking the bridal studio pictures beforehand, sometimes, up to a couple of months before our wedding. And I related the story of my pre-wedding days to my cousin.
I was at the bridal studio trying out the dresses that they have. I had a few in mind and since I was way ahead of time for the scheduled photo shoot, I decided to go in a few times just to make sure that I love what I picked eventually. On the “fitting” day (thats the day where you actually pick your dress, confirm it and try it on so that the people at the bridal shop can make the necessary adjustments if needed to) I remembered I wore an old t-shirt coupled with my old and worn out bra. I wasn’t thinking when I woke up that day and had just put on what I felt comfortable in. As it turn out, there was a huge tear on the right side of my bra strap and the sight was so embarrassing since shop lady was also trying to help me with the dress..Gosh, I will always remember that day. So I told my cousin that before going for her “fitting” make sure she at least get some decent looking bridal lingerie prior to save herself from embarrassment, like me..:-(

You will never believe what I saw this morning when I went out walking this morning! Today was one of the rare occasions that I took a short stroll around my neighborhood. More like around my house from the front to the back and back again. I saw the most ugliest of all dogs. Actually, I don’t even know if it is a cat, a boar or a dog. I am serious! Looks like a cross between a Tasmanian devil and a wild boar!! It was ugly black and stumpy. And someone was actually “walking” err…it. It ran all over the place until it came to me, with its pinkish tongue sticking out from its mouth and panting. OMG, I had goose bumps all over when I saw that thing. I swear it wasn’t a robot dog or CAT6. I turned away and headed back home. From the corner of my eye, I saw the owner, picking it up and carrying it away. Blek…*shivers*

Hehhe…not to worry, its not something tragic, its worst - incurable…LOL…I need to check myself into drug rehab soon…OK, I was just kidding.
I have this bad habit of changing my mind as often as I change my underwear or as often as how some celebrity checks in and out of drug rehabilitation as if these places were hotels!
I simply can’t make up my mind. Like this morning for instance. I don’t know what I want to do for the day. Last night, I had the brilliant plan of getting an early head-start, go to the mall, get some grocery but I didn’t feel like it when I got up today. The mood just completely disappeared. Just vanished into thin air. Now, I feel sluggish, in mood-less mode. My mood ring is black.
Is this a woman thing or is it me? How can I cure this every changing and potentially damaging addiction? Is there somewhere I can get an addiction treatment? Is there even one? The only places I know are drug rehab centers but that is not relevant to my problem, now is it? Lets see now….what should I eat??? nyek…

What does Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama have in common?
Apparently, they are all checked into the same drug rehabilitation centre..LOL…just kidding. No, apparently, they are ALL related to each other in some way or another. Check this out, hot from the press :
Barack Obama is a distant cousin of Brad Pitt while Hilary Clinton is somehow albeit distantly, related to Angelina Jolie. And, we all know that Brad and Angie have a biological child together and are now reported to be expecting another. Opps…correction, expecting a set - of twins.
Talk about coincidence and news grabbing story. I mean, why is it that no one has told me that I am also related, distantly or otherwise, in some way to a super-star or a political figure? You tell me? *rolls eyes again*
Knock yourselves out, go take a peek at the article.

I find it kind of odd honestly speaking. People seriously monetizing their sites and who have had their blog’s PR stripped or demoted are still crying wolf. I can thoroughly understand but for some, who have no intentions of doing so i.e monetize their site, are also crying wolf. I don’t get it!
I just came back from blog hopping secretly and silently. Please, don’t we all?? Let me be the bozo who admits to this fact. Coming back to the issue on the blog hop and what I’ve discovered. This particular blogger who obviously monetized her site for some extra fun money writing stuffs like stair lift. Not one to need to pay the bills with. This person got slapped. Never fully recovered until recently when the realisation set in that salvaging PR was more important, she removed everything and canceled anything that resembled a paid item. She got it back. Not as what it was before but better than most of us. However, that is not the end. She has introduced the “no follow” rule on her blog. Meaning to say, guests who comments on her blog will not be obtaining any link juice. Fair enough, its her prerogative.
Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this approach. Its just that, I’m just thinking that, this PR thing, is fairly important isn’t it? Even for those who are not monetizing their blogs? I mean, I thought that PR is only really important to those who intend to make some cash, never really thought about it being equally important to those who blog for the very reason of blogging and nothing more.
So maybe for the sake of argument, this PR thing is very relevant when you consider writing for SEO sake. A higher PR translate to more prominent position at the search engines and this in turn translates to traffic? Fair enough. As I’ve said earlier, people who blogs craves attention, we are stat addicts like it or not. Otherwise, blogs will all be much of a private forum. That make sense but just one thing though. If the subject matter of your blog is about something so mundane like a jar of peanuts, who would even google “a jar of peanuts”? There will probably be a couple of guys from the peanut club but will it be enough for you to be satisfied with the stat results? I doubt it. I seriously doubt it.
Blogging shouldn’t be inhibited by things like SEO, PR and whatever. It should be about you and what you want to say. I mean, blog preferences is so subjective really. Some blogs are a turn on and some just aren’t. It is a fact. No amount of PR is going to boost your blog traffic if what you write, bores people to death. Its a simplistic view of blogging. Then again, its my view and why shouldn’t it be what it already is or what it should be - simple? But the truth is, we crave for the challenge, the unreachable and seek the exclusive club. We want to be amongst the best, the popular, the most liked, the most envied. These are all human traits and doesn’t exclude the blogsphere now, does it? Apparently not.
