Not everyone feels discontent. In fact, I know some people who would say that there is nothing they would want to change in their lives right now. However, I know a whole lot more of people who want to change their lives for the better – that includes me.
I have found a new “hero” in Ellen Welty, who wrote the article “12 Questions that will change your life.” I seriously had to sit here and think for a very long time as ...
The earthquake that hit Haiti is one of the worst in history, and we are all witnesses to the suffering that the people of this country are going through. Even though you and I may be worlds away from Haiti, there are many ways by which we can help. For sure, you have been looking for ways to donate so here is a list of organizations that you can check out.
The easiest and surest way would be to donate directly to the Red Cross. ...
By now, you have probably heard about the “real iPhone killer.” Technology giant Google has been dabbling in the mobile phone market in the recent years and the release of their Nexus One phone has got technophiles all over the world really excited. Yours truly is actually thinking of getting her hands on one within the month. In the past three days, all I have been doing is looking up information on the Nexus One.
Today, I started having second thoughts about getting a unit as ...
The popular singing contest is back on air, much to the delight of its ardent followers. This season is a very important one for American Idol as it seems to be a defining period. For one, longtime judge Paula Abdul exited the stage after the previous season. Various celebrities guested as judges and now it is Ellen Degeneres who has taken Paula’s place permanently.
Now it seems that American Idol is to be dealt another blow: judge Simon Cowell is leaving after this season! The ...
Whatever happened to the separation between Church and State? I guess that this principle differs largely from one country to another, but I was really surprised when I read about the new law that was passed in Ireland on Friday. Called the blasphemy law, it places hefty fines on people who commit violations. One such violation is to publish or utter “matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of ...
As we say goodbye to an old year, we are all making goals in our minds. We may not all be writing them down, but I am sure that others have at least an idea of what they want to achieve in the next year. I, for one, am thinking of going back to school – if only part-time. I need to keep my full-time job and I think that with a little juggling, I can manage both. If you are thinking of doing the same thing, ...
At the beginning of the year 2009, a Chinese friend told me that astrologers predicted that it would be the worst year for a lot of people. I dismissed it offhandedly, saying that no one can predict such things. Unfortunately, it did turn out to be rather bad for a LOT. In terms of career, here are the worst hit jobs in the past year, courtesy of MSN Career Builder.
Architects – according to statistics, many architects did not survive the year. A whopping 17.8 percent lost their ...
If you ask me this without allowing me to check, I won’t know the answer. I did read an article over at USA Today, and found out that the most literate cities in the United States today are Minneapolis and Seattle. Now, trivia and fact enthusiasts would probably have fared better at “guessing.” After all, these two cities have been alternating at getting the top two spots for the past six years.
These figures are the results of a yearly study that takes a look at culture and ...
Charlie Sheen: Bad Boy This Christmas
Dec 26 2009
Posted by Sally as Entertainment, Entertainment Features
Santa knows if you’ve been bad or good, and gives you presents accordingly. Apparently, actor Charlie Sheen has been bad this year, and he got a different kind of Christmas present this year: an arrest. A report from Aspen states that the star was arrested Friday in relation to charges of domestic abuse.
The police report mentions that Charlie Sheen is being held on suspicion of second-degree assault, menacing, and criminal mischief. The first two are felonies, while the last is a mere misdemeanor. The incident/s happened in ...
There are several more hours before Christmas Eve, and I just got back from the supermarket. Needless to say, it’s sheer chaos out there. My sister’s wrapping up her gifts at the last moment – sans traditional Christmas wrapping paper. If you’re tired of wrapping gifts the same old boring way, here are a few ideas which you can put to good use without having to buy new materials.
Dig into your old stuff and look for suitable materials. We have found widespread brochures and catalogs to be ...

Tech pumps
One of the biggest things I’m raving about here in the USA are those tech gas pumps. You know what I’d mean if I say their pretty secure, fast and easy to use. I remember in Asia when I’d pull into a gas station how I’d hand over my credit card to a gas attendant [...]

Get Your Kids Into The Olympic Bandwagon
We’re right smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Have your kids gotten into the spirit of it all yet? It saddens me that today, some kids would rather play sports via the PlayStation (or any other gaming console) than actually go outdoors and kick some butt. With the Winter Olympics [...]
