Beauty is Only Skin Deep

 
There is a thin line between being confident and being over confident. I draw the line at being a domineering b*tch.

What is it with people who put on a fake accent and face full of make-up and they think they are better than the rest of us?! I can’t bear people who think they are a level above me just by slapping on war paint on their faces.

I call that insecurity and not “confidence”.

You don’t need make-up to be confident, you don’t need to be stick thin to look beautiful, you don’t need a wallet full of cash for self worth and certainly you don’t need to be an overbearing b*tch with imaginary stories about the high-end, jet-setting life to make you a class above anybody.

And you don’t need to be telling people what to do and how to do it and definitely not to follow your foot step for a successful and “confident” self image when all you have is insecurities.

You would think that maturity comes with age and with age comes the appreciation of your true self image and self worth. But no, i guess it doesn’t comes with age. Not for everybody anyways.

Putting on make-up boost our confidence but that’s all it does, just a small boost to make us feel like the gorgeous lady that we already are. But using make-up as a mask for insecurities is just pathetic. It’s a joke when you can’t walk out of the house without a cake of make-up on your face and it certainly makes me laugh when make-up makes someone drastically switch personalities. It’s like a on/off button.

So, don’t go preaching to people how to gain confidence when you have none.

Do not go telling people they are fat when all you do in your life is obsessed on being stick thin and not even enjoying the food you put in your mouth. Do not be a b*tch when all you have in your dictionary is the word insecurities.

Start preaching when you can actually feel beautiful without being artificial, when you are actually content with your life and when you feel there is not a need to explain you self confidence. That’s when i believe you.

Bugger off.

Vicious Cycle

Vicious Cycle

 
I make no sense that women spends half of their lifetime minding what they eat and trying to keep their weight in control.

Then for every 2 weeks in a month, they think nothing but of food, food and food and they can’t help but stuff their faces with food because even in their sleep they dream of sushi, spaghetti, ice cream and steaks!

I feel like Garfield minus the whiskers!

Then when the hormone settles down it’s back to dieting to lose the 2 weeks of “sushi, spaghetti, ice cream and steaks” flab.

It’s a never-ending vicious cycle.

I wish Eve never ate the apple. FHL.

The dog catchers was here just a while ago. My dogs went berserk! They caught my neighbor’s rottweiler even though my neighbor was standing there asking them not to. The dog didn’t have a license so they have the right to catch it.

Apparently they have the right to take bribes as well because it took them no time to release the dog once they were satisfied with the amount. Wtf.

Oh whatever, right now i’m feeling kind of sad after seeing the dogs caged up in the van. I always feel kind of down and helpless when i see dogs not treated well.

I need to renew my dogs’ license too. I wonder what good it’ll do though. These people would do anything for money.

Personal Loans

 
The health of the American’s economy has yet to fully recover from the economic shock that left the country in recession, dollar currency became fragile, giant corporations bankrupt and the people unemployed and in heavy debts. Yes, when a country suffers from a financial crisis the people gets hit really hard.

In addition to the debts (credit card debts, mortgage repayment, car loan repayment, etc) there are the mounting interest fees and late fees which makes it a never-ending nightmare. It’s not an easy task taking care of a family with mouths to feed and household debts to repay in this unstable economy. It’s even harder for business owners to get a loan these days – approving Business Loans to small business owners with probable risk of their companies going bankrupt during the economic upheaval is not in the loaners list of priority.

In this situation, the smarter move is to consolidate your debts to get a lower combined interest fees and improve your credit rating. You could easily get unsecured loans or Personal Loans and even business loans with no obligation loan decisions which mean you can use the loan to repay your debts.

Start by engaging a well established and trusted loan consulting firm which provides Loans Online which means less processing fees and no hidden commissions and charges. Discuss with the expert how best it is to handle your problem and lay down on the table the options you have. You will be able to manage to your debt easily in no time at all.

What’s it like to be 28

 
… what’s it like to be 28… hmmm… what’s it like to be 28??

Wiser, bolder, stronger and happier. That’s what it’s like to be 28. Yeah definitely.

I recall a time when i was really unhappy with my life. I was frustrated with my job, i was afraid of disappointing my family, i was terrified of ending up alone.

I was timid, unsure of myself and i like to compare. I secretly compared friends’ salaries to mine, i compared boyfriends, i compared jobs, i compared social lives. I care so much about what others think about me.

I felt pathetic and envious of those better than me. All those pent up emotions made me not a very happy person.

Now, when i think of it i find it utterly amusing. Why the hell was i wasting my time with something to relatively meaningless?

I know it sounds cliché, but i rather think that hitting 30 soon is the best thing that’s going to to happen to me. Not that i’m 30 yet, but when i hit 28 last week i was feeling pretty terrific.

Never mind that i was on top of Mount Batur on my birthday, i felt i was on top of the world.

I no longer give a damn of what people think or say. Well, less anyways.

No worries, i still give a damn about this :P.
 


 

I am more health conscious and i am taking care of myself. I pamper myself occasionally because i know i darn well deserve it.

I know when to take a break and have a kit-kat. I learned to love myself more everyday.

I’m more adventurous and sure of myself. Of course i still have self-doubts and bad days but now i know bad days would pass so it isn’t so bad.

I save more money and make wiser decisions. Some i think wise but the boyfriend think not but i don’t give a damn and that makes a lot of difference. Haha.
 

lol
 

I am happy and contented with my current relationship. We quarrel less about petty, insignificant little things. We have mutual understanding about almost everything in life.

I am happy with the few friends that i have left. It’s not about how many friends you have but how many that will stick with you through thick and thin.

People use to tell me when i’m younger not to worry because everything has a solution. Every cloud has a silver lining they tell me. Now i’m beginning to believe.

Right now, i’m contented just for having someone love me, for having my family around, having my dogs around and of course for having people respect me just for being older at 28.

Short of the wrinkles and flabs, i am pretty looking forward to hitting 30 in two years time.

That statement… surprised even me.

On Demand

 

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Fans of sitcoms will understand my predicament. It’s so difficult to actually follow the whole season of my favorite shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewife and NCIS on TV because sometimes i’m back late from work, other times even when i’m back at home i am too tired so i end up sleeping halfway through the show.

It’s really frustrating since i’m such a big fan of the shows and when i couldn’t catch what’s going on because i missed the previous episodes, i will be in a bad mood!

I can imagine how it is with kids. My nephew will scream and throw tantrums whenever he can’t watch Spongebob. It’s a nightmare.

With Charter digital On Demand however, this is not a problem. You can watch all the shows you want online for free!

Doggies Photos

 
Ok, we haven’t return the DSLR we borrowed. I half wish we don’t need to return it LOL.

I wanted so much to capture my dogs’ photos using the camera but really super fail man… :(.

It’s so difficult to take photos of them when they can’t stay still.

Kobe was either sleeping or running about amok in the house, Pou was afraid to move at all, so most of the shots i’ve taken of her was with the same pose and Doodle kept nudging the camera lens – she think it’s edible or something. Sigh…

These are the only ok photos so far. As in not blurry hahaha.

This is super cute – kobe kept yawning.

I have a new found respect for animal photographers. Not only do they need the skill and abundance of patience (god knows how long you have to wait for the right moment), they need to be animal trainers too T_T.
