Weddings are truly beautiful things. It’s always a great deal of fun to witness them and to recollect those wonderful moments many years down the road, either in pictures and prints or through videos. I happened to attend a wedding dinner of a family friend recently and it was one of the most memorable one of all time. Not only was the wedding somewhat a reunion for many of us to meet up our long lost friends, it was an eye opening time for a new age of fashion with everyone dressing up in their best.
When I thought it would be another evening gown event for all the pretty ladies around until I saw how beautiful the bride was. She really did dress up to kill for the memorable night. All the glitters on her neck almost blinded me as those were believed to be real diamonds. She was dressed in a crown of pure white mystic roses nestled in her long tumbling curls with ribbons of silver and violet, a silver sapphire pin, a pair of sparkling diamond earrings in the shape of a starburst, a pair of elbow-length white satin gloves with diamond clasps, a pair of delicate white lace slippers with silvery ribbons which tie about the ankles and an exquisite low cut gown of diaphanous white satin with a train of silvery laces that caught the light with every movement. I was stunned for a moment with such beauty.
The groom himself did not disappoint me either. He was wearing a Ralph Lauren tuxedo with silver piping on the lapels and cuffs, a white satin shirt with some silver trims, a beautifully crafted grey vest with diamond-like buttons, a pair of white breeches with a double band of black and silver down each leg and a translucent crystal-like red rose pin. He was stunningly handsome as if he was popped out from one of the top men’s fashion magazine.
This was the most spectacular wedding ceremony that anyone had attended and I would gladly claim that I had participated in the memorable moment for years to come. After all, I was also dressed in my best tuxedo during the group photography session?

If you walk around many of those places with WIFI access, you would noticed that the laptop those people were using are getting smaller and smaller. These “mini” laptops are called netbooks. It’s a small, light weight, low cost, highly portable, energy efficient alternative to a full sized laptop computer where you can surf the internet, email, internet messaging, play music, stream video online, facebook, twitter, word processing and so on that would not need much resources for as long as 5.5 hours. The most wonderful thing would be the large hard drives storage to store your downloaded files.
If you are a hardcore online gamer playing high end video games or even a designer who required high end resources for processing graphical images, you can forget about owning one. This would not be the type of handy equipment for you as the screen would be smaller, thus everything else inclusive the typeface, keys on the keyboards would be smaller too due to its miniature size. Moreover, there would not be any inbuilt drives for you to transfer data unless you purchase other peripherals such as portable drives or a higher storage pendrive.
Netbooks are suitable for those students, travelers or business persons who love its portability and the light weight to carry around for light tasks. These netbooks are fast gaining trend as it’s much cheaper than a normal laptop. There are many netbooks manufacturers such as ASUS, Samsung, HP, Acer, MSI and so one on the market and you can source for one easily based on your budget and requirements. I’m going to get one soon for my business convenience. Are you planning to follow suit too?

“… I hate my life as I was never happy and I don’t feel like waking up anymore in the morning. There was nothing else to look forward to as everyone who saw me called me ugly. Most of the time, I would consider suicide just to end all these stresses and word abuses…”
Believe it or not, that statement has been influencing the minds of many adolescents from all over the world just because they could not handle their acne problems. In a research by conducted by a university, it was found that 34% of young people with acne issues had thoughts of killing themselves while 13% had attempted suicide. At this age, image and identity plays an important role in their lives. Any adverse psychological effects would pose a danger and a risk of them committing stupid acts when they are so hard hit by their so called inferior complex.
I just wondered why they are feeling so stressed out when there are so many acne treatments out there to solve their problems. This is just another phase of growing up and everyone tends to face it at one time or another through their journey in life. Acne problems are just like any other dermal problems as they would need time to heal and you can’t expect them to just disappear overnight. All you need is the determination and courage to face them. After all, aren’t both factors part of our life training to move forward to become successful in the future?

Hmm… I had fed her punctually daily and why is she still showing me that pathetic weak look again? Is she trying to gain more of my special attention or something is not right with her diet? Will she need more supplements to boast up the energy of hers? These are some of the thoughts that would strike most of a pet owner’s mind whenever a pet looked rather low in spirit. That’s the love bond between animal lovers and their pets. No matter how mischievous a pet might get to test our patience, towards the end of the day we would still love them and pamper them as if they were our flesh and blood. After all, pets are great companions to reduce our stress level, blood pressures, cholesterol level, triglyceride level and loneliness while raising our self esteem.
It has been medically proven that those with pets are much healthier compared to those who do not own one. Having a human-pet bond not only lessened our health issues but it also offers many social, psychological and physiological benefits. It would open up a bridge for communication opportunities, lower the anxiety levels and at the same time motivate a person to push himself forward to pick one up or exercise while taking his pet out for a walk. A survey done some years back on tens of thousands different nationalities throughout the world for a 5-year period found that those with pets had fewer visits to the doctors. In fact, with the attachment towards their pet, the owners had reduced depression, less stressful in their lives and had improved exercise habits.
I owned 7 cats and one dog in my family and they sure did brighten up my days. Although I had always branded them as the brats in the family for messing up things during the most unexpected time, they are still the loves of my life. Life could not have been any better than to have them around to instill some daily laughs with some of their awkward actions. It could be any pet of any sizes for you but as long as you kept them happy and healthy always, you would be in the same position too. Other than the reputable brands of feed around, there are supplements that would also boost up their health. Just look around the market place, there would always be the right canine supplements, feline supplements, bird supplements and even horse supplements around that would suit your need. Remember this – If they are healthy, so would you!

I have been working in this office for the last few years and everything seemed to be fine until now. I have never felt so low in motivation and lethargic before. Something does not feel right here. It kind of felt like the whole working place turned so stuffy and stale. I even felt that my skin had gone dryer and dryer each day without the application of some hand and body moisturizing lotion. If solutions have not been found soon, I will end up an old hag in no time.
Could it be due to those humidifiers I have in the office? Maybe it’s time get those humidifier filters changed as I had not done so since I had first purchased them. By the look of those cracked wooden furniture near those humidifiers as well as the frequent static shocks I had experience recently, I guessed those humidifiers were the culprit behind all the dryness.
Ah! Finally I had all the humidifier filters changed. How much relieve I am in with a higher humidity level in the office now. Thanks to the replacement of the filters that I can at least work more comfortably in a cleaner office without loosing anymore moisture.
