Books and more books!

09.02.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

I love it when I read about celebrities who read, those who love books. I keep seeing it at Oprah’s site. There’s Julia Roberts, Alicia Keyes, and many others. Books that they love and have influenced their lives.

I am a bookworm and I am always on the lookout for good books on the net. I frequent sites like Buy.com where a bookworm like me can find bestsellers.

Are you a bookworm, too?

On legal matters

09.02.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

When it comes to legal matters, I always say to leave it to the experts. There are things that we know nothing about or very little about. That’s the law. If it’s easy to interpret, then we don’t need lawyers to do it for us. But as it’s not, we might as well admit it to ourselves that the law is confusing.

Do you need an offshore injury lawyer? If you do, go to LawyersForYou.com and get one. We all encounter setbacks in our lives. There are those which happened because of our own mistakes. There are those which are inflicted on us. For the latter, there are lawyers to assist us. Seek help and then let them help.

Michael Douglas sick with cancer

09.02.2010 · Posted in Hot on the Net

Michael Douglas is battling stage four throat cancer. He is said to be undergoing rigorous chemotherapy and radiation. Cancer is a traitor. It will strike when you least expect it. That’s what’s scary with that sickness. You may appear strong one minute, then really, really sick the next. It’s like that.

I hope Michael Douglas will be able to battle his cancer. It’s not easy but with the resources he has, it is possible for him to get well.

Watch the video of his interview with David Letterman…

Get well soon, Michael!

Overall feel of a room

09.02.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

Leila will be ordering a copper kitchen sink online. She wants to change the one she has right now. The copper kitchen sink, according to her interior designer, will go well with her new kitchen set. Since she always wants to have an overall feel in any part of her house, the kitchen being copper, she will really spend on the sink even if she just bought the one she has right now a year ago.

I guess if she can afford it, why not, right? If I can afford it, too, I would have given the same renovation to our house.

Meticulous at home

09.02.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

When it comes to linens, she is very meticulous. Leila only uses the matouk brand. Bath towels, beddings, blankets, table linens. When you visit her at home, you will instantly feel the elegance in her house. It may not be big but the way she arranged the furniture as well as the carefully chosen linens and decor…

I guess she can afford to be really choosy with the things at her house because she is single and she has no major expense to think of. But if it’s me, I think I will have to save up first before I can make my house done her way.

Caught on camera

08.06.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

The burglar was caught because of the security cameras around the store. These days, if you want your store to be protected, there are various tools you can buy just for that. Gone are the days when the only option you have is to hire a security guard or to carry a gun. Of course, those are still part of your options.

There was a store a couple of blocks away from where I live. It was robbed during the wee hours of the night. The security cameras caught everything and when the police reviewed the tapes, they were able to identify the robbers right away. Such is the benefit of having it in your store.

It’s still one of the best episodes of GLEE for me. Their Lady Gaga tribute episode! The girls and Kurt sang Bad Romance and I loved it!

Here are some photos of the girls in that episode that I like…

Hoarder she’s not

08.01.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

Hoarder. Have you been watching that show in cable? It shows the lives of those persons who are known hoarders and can’t stop themselves from hoarding items into their homes. They have turned their homes into a place piled with junk, mostly unused items that the persons just felt they needed to buy.

I tease my sister about being a hoarder herself. She has so many clothes, shoes including her new mbt shoes, and bags. But she’s actually not a hoarder. I just tease her to make her organize her things properly. Plus, she hands down her stuff that are still in good condition to our younger cousins.

Wrecked on the side

07.30.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

I do hope the owner of the car bumped by this heartthrob has even a cheap auto insurance. The side of the car was a wreck! Good thing there were witnesses around and the guy was immediately told about what happened. When they came face to face, the heartthrob was apologetic.

It really pays to have an insurance plan always ready. You just never know when an accident will meet your car. Imagine parked properly and away from the others and being wrecked!

The Chronicles of Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Narnia

The Chronicles of Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I saw the trailer this afternoon and I was so excited by it!

After the Harry Potter series in 2011, it’s the only good enough series that we’ll be waiting for every year. I do hope they will continue with the other Narnia books. I can’t wait for this one! I almost screamed a little when Ben Barnes beautiful face was shown on screen!
