My friend Twyla picked up a package from her special someone at the Customs which she knew contained jewelry. The box had to be opened there for checkup, so she almost fainted when she saw that the jewelry her special someone gave her was an engagement ring! ^_^

Turns out the reason why she had to pick up the parcel all the way at Customs was because the ring has certified diamonds. That also meant she had to pay Custom’s a lot for the tax. It’s a good thing she was able to play up a drama and pretended the jewelry was for her mom who was deceased – her wearing an all black attire helped her play that part. 0;) It worked and she only paid very minimal tax.

Twyla’s actually a type of person who doesn’t like following the norms and had already told her special someone that she doesn’t like proposals. Then again, receiving a proposal in the middle of packages and in a very unconventional manner last month made it acceptable for her. She’s been wearing the gorgeous ring since.

My sisters and I have been planning to buy a really great digital camera because we haven’t had one for more than three years now. That by the way means all of our pictures have been taken from our phones.

Given the years we’ve haven’t had good quality pictures; we plan on buying a renowned camera no matter how expensive it is. We’ve been debating on whether to get Panasonic’s Lumix or a Canon camera. Those are the ones that are high on our list. However, we’ve all agreed to put the buying on hold until August 2010 – when I have extra dough to accommodate that.

I’m pretty excited though. My sisters and I plan on using that for our websites and to take pictures of ourselves every time we go out; we always look hot when we all go out together and it’d be a waste if there’s no good quality camera to preserve that look, don’t you think? 0;)

I read somewhere that ‘attraction is not a choice’. As human beings that descended from cavemen and apes, we are all genetically hard-wired to respond in certain way to very basic characteristics in others. Attraction all comes down to S&R value – survival and replication – survival being your quality of life and replication being your chances of reproduction.

Females will typically be attracted to males with a high S value. If he has the athleticism to Karate-chop anyone that dares to harm you and the brains to make money to buy you a nice home, he will be good for your S needs – regardless of whether or not he doesn’t use enough acne solutions. Males, on the other hand, will instinctively be attracted to a woman with high R value. R represents his chances of reproducing his genes. If she’s got a healthy body, she’ll do – a lot of times regardless of whether or not she’s as dumb as a plank.

Is this all we need to know when it comes to developing a happy and healthy relationship with someone you’re attracted to? Absolutely not. A lot of times we are swayed by people who do not meet the S&R mandate, and we do things for them that are plainly in direct contradiction to our survival and replication chances. As Oscar Wilde once said, the mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.

There are a lot of things that people will typically say in an effort to comfort someone who had just gotten out of a bad break-up. Your friends will say things like: “you’re better off without her”, “she was no good for you anyway”, “there’s plenty of fish in the sea”, “you’ll find someone better”, and then perhaps the most overused, “you deserve better”. They all seem like reasonable enough sentiments – but even after they’ve been said, the pain is still there. You spend time listening to your old songs, looking at pictures you had together, and sighing out the car window as you pass some place you shared intimate moments together. This is what I call the asbestos mesothelioma symptom.

Just like those songs, pictures, and places, if you spend enough time around asbestos, you’ll contract mesothelioma – it has to stop. From personal experience, I’ve learned the only way to make the pain go away will take two things: firstly, you’re going to have to actually believe in all of the comforting statements listed above. Rediscover your self-worth and develop the confidence to truly believe you deserve better. The second step, which cannot be accomplished without the confidence gained from the first step, is to go out and find “better”. Sound tough? That’s because it is. It will take time, patience, strength, and a little bit of luck.

As a DJ, probably just as exciting as playing a gig or getting behind a good set of decks is building on your musical arsenal. This is the process of finding songs to play for different situations. There are what are known as “happy accidents” in which you stumble upon a song completely by chance – whether it’s hearing a great song on the radio, at a bar, or on the commute, musical inspiration can be found anywhere.

An important factor during this process is your weapon of choice – CD’s, vinyl or digital? This is not to say, however, that you are restricted to just one or that one is better than the other. In my opinion, if it gets the crowd going, then you’ve done your job. However, I can’t deny that there’s nothing that compares to the warmth of a good vinyl record – no, not vinyl you use on a garage – I once mistook a site involving DuraMax Vinyl Garage Kit 01014 for a site that sells vinyl records. They had some good rates, but none of the tracks I’m looking for. Someone once told me that it’s not about the technical skills you bring to the table, it’s the songs you choose and how you play them.

Do you know what’s better than taking weight loss pills? Walking several blocks to and from work.

Walking to and from your office is free daily exercise that can easily be integrated into your busy routine. Doing that may also even help you lose a pound a day like Lipofuze. The best thing about that is there’s no need to schedule it since you’ll definitely need to go to work daily and go back home to rest anyway.

Of course, if you’re planning to walk to and from your office, I suggest you bring an extra shirt and wear comfortable shoes (if you can’t bring an extra pair for work, that is). Oh, and do drink lots of water afterward. As with any physical activity, hydration is important.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I got to enroll in Gold’s Gym for a discounted price, thanks to my friend MJ. ^_^ This morning, with me having a day off, we decided to finally claim our temporary cards and utilize it immediately.

After signing up, one of their staff gave us a tour on the gym. The orientation is scheduled for Tuesday though. Nevertheless, I’m very happy with the facilities of the gym. I saw all the machines I needed from the list I compiled when I did some research on how to reduce stomach fat – my main and only health issue. Of course, I was very ecstatic with the steam bath and sauna. What’s really great about it is that I just found out that our membership includes us being able to join their classes for free. Guess what I saw there? Striptease classes on Wednesdays! I am so looking forward to it. 0:D
