To continue yesterday’s article on 2008 being the Year of Getting Real, here are the four other major world upheavals predicted to happen this year by a select group of marketers, activists and cultural anthropologists.
Green year
Green will be the color of the year. This is quite evident already in many of the malls where you can see displays in the cool radiant glow of this color of nature.
This is probably because of the all too pervasive effects worldwide of global warming – as brought to our consciousness by Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore, the former ...
As the year comes to a close, I would like to do something cliché: be thankful for the past year. :)
So while you await the fireworks and I sleep them away, I would like to say my piece just before the year ends.
Oprah is always big on the gratitude memes and she encourages people to make it a point to be thankful. It has virtue in it, because after I recount how thankful I am for things, events, people, realizations, etc., in my life, I forget my pains and complaints. I realize that life is good after all, and that all in all, I am a fortunate, blessed person. I may not seem like that to some people, but the fact that there are things I can be thankful for after all makes me realize that life is truly worth looking forward to living each day. :)
So without further ado, let me start...
While supermassive black holes are fattening themselves with their steady diet of cosmic meals, a theft of cosmic proportions is taking place in a galaxy far, far away, in an effort to claim the fountain of youth.
Yes, Virginia, it’s just like someone is stealing your supply Glutathione, a nutrient recently advertised as the solution to looking young.
NASA announced that it has located a massive galaxy that is stealing a billion suns’ worth of gas from a smaller galactic neighbor. In space, gas is a hot commodity. Really hot. In this case, about 1,340 degrees Fahrenheit (730 degrees Celsius). ...

Remember this rabbit?
Reading has always been a favorite past time of mine. My childhood was spent reading classics, Enid Blyton and all those Nancy Drew books I inherited from my mom. Having playmates weren't my thing and my parents never allowed me to leave the house. However, if there's one thing I'm grateful for, it's that the whole family has a love for books in general. Unlike other kids, I looked forward to reading and writing.
Recently, I stumbled upon a blog that suggested reading children's books is also good for adults. According to Jen Robinson's ...

Re-thinking Hybrid Cars
I’ve come across an interesting article from Yahoo.com’s Yahoo Green section. With the current escalating trend of the price of oil and gasoline (including their bi-products), the cost of owning a hybrid car is slowly making sense. People before think that gas cars are cheaper than hybrid (gas/electric) cars, and that hybrid will not pay [...]-

Water me please
This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80’s singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn’t care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the “girls” so [...] -

A Humble City
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th [...]

Avoiding Debt Triggers
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
