CELEBRATING LIFE

I saw this article via
anythinghollywood.com's newsletter. Well...I'm not surprised.

The New York Daily News

Unfortunately, one thing the 15-year-old starlet isn’t getting from Lindsay is a good role model who’s making positive life choices. Experts say the sibling relationship could actually be harmful to Ali’s mental health.

“If you have an older child who is breaking a lot of the rules and engaging in dangerous and risky behavior, this can have a negative impact on the younger child,” said Dr. Eva Ritvo, psychiatrist and vice chair of psychiatry at the University of Miami School of Medicine.

"Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff, just released a statement about today's raid at the doc's office -- saying law enforcement officials were searching for and seize items, including documents, they believed constituted evidence of the offense of manslaughter."

"We can confirm that a search warrant was executed today on Dr. Murray's offices in Houston, Texas. We reviewed the warrant and remained on the premises while the search was being executed.

The search was conducted by members of the DEA, two Robbery – Homicide detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department and Houston Police officers."

Wow this is gonna be interesting. He's accused of manslaughter!!

"Law enforcement concluded their search around 12:30pm, and left with a forensic image of a business computer hard drive and 21 documents. None of the documents taken had previously been requested by law enforcement or the L.A. Coroner's office."

The Mara Hoffman Resort 2010 Swim collection drew inspiration from a spiritual exploration in the desert, which translated into a variety of unique silhouettes and colorful psychedelic prints, ranging from bold and bright, to softer and more feminine. The swim range features various styles that flatter every body type, including super sexy one-pieces for lounging poolside and more playful bikinis, perfect for a standout look at the beach. Drawing inspiration from both the desert and the universe, the color palette varies from black, red and yellow, to lavender and blue.


I love this one here, it looks like it's covering everything but not exactly EVERYTHING. Haha! Don't you think so? I can imagine wearing this on and off at the beach! And i love colours!

He had his first kiss when he was 12 (he thought he was about that age).

He likes his ladies be feminine and dress like girls.

His dream job would be singing and songwriting - posted a video on YouTube about a year ago and it went crazy. But acting is still his major.

His fan site,
feltbeats.com is his fav site! He said that the fans are like his manager, knowing what he's gonna do before he knows it!

Do you know about his BMW car?

Gee, I'm so jealous! Congrats on the new Harry Potter movie, the Half Blood Prince!

Our HSM star said she would take her clothes off for a hooker role in a movie and to shed her good Disney image. She is going to act it from the 1950s in a movie filming later this fall.

From the Metro:

"I’m playing a character named Blondie and it’s set in a brothel in the 1950s, so there’s not a whole lot of clothes.

It’ll be gun training, stunts, fighting and all that craziness. I can’t wait. I’m so excited. I’ve wanted to do an action film for a while.

I think this is my time to really step it up and get to grow up. It will be somewhat different with the content and a few more foul words but that’s the biggest difference."

Do people really have to do this to get that goody-two-shoe image away from them? What will the kids think? If so, what will their parents think?

I wanted to create another email using my existing yahoo account for my blog here. This is to prevent my social networks (facebook, friendster, messengers,etc) being invaded with emails that I don't know (some are sexually named, mind).

So I searched using yahoo and came across this page through this. Too bad I can't have more than 2 emails for 1 account, but that's enough for the time being.


So all you gotta do is just put your desired name for your new email address and press Check Availability to see if it's available (can't use other people
s own email name of course, that's the point).

It seems that you can add as much as emails as you want but still using the same inbox for receiving mails and sending. Oh bugger. Looks like I have to create a new account then =) NEWSFLASH: You can't take up the same email address that you have deleted. So think before you delete your email addresses.

Whoa, Jennifer's so nice...wish bosses nowadays are more like her! All hail Mother of Goodness!

Her crew's supposed to work for her latest movie, The Bounty on 2nd July but Aniston wanted her crew to take the day off (with a lot of cash involved).

And it got her crew talking about it in People.com

Jen is such a genuinely good person,” says one crew member. “How many people in this world would pay for an entire movie set to have off for the day? Not just anyone does that. We’re talking big bucks.”

I posted a review on Dove Chocolate early this year and Carrie commented on my post. Dove Chocolate lets you have your own personalized chocolates and it comes in Chocolate Martini Mix, Cupcake Mix and Brownie Mix too!

And of course, the reason why you clicked this post is, it generates money, FAST (Dove was featured in Five Ways to Make Cash Fast - ABC News Report on GMA)

And who wouldn't come to a chocolate party? Dove Chocolate Discoveries just launched nationally last year, and as a chocolatier, as the sellers are called, you can invite friends over to indulge in -- and buy — treats — everything from candy to chocolate martinis to brownie mix.

This sounds so nice...gee I'm putting this business in my suggestions list! But I wonder if it's halal or not..Cuz I'm in Malaysia, you want something that you can sell to everybody here, not just some people right?

DOVE Chocolate Party Hostesses Can Earn Double Free Credits and Double Half Price Items in July!

I have been searching the net for answers- why I can't post a comment on my blog?? I click on it and nothing happens, which is very frustrating and waste of time to find how to solve this problem for....I don't know, a week?

Luckily I went to Blogger Help Forum and posted my problem there and see if anybody can help me with it. Luckily, Vin answered my question! It's about reverting the widgets' templates back to default it seems. Had to back up my widgets first but why, I don't care, don't know what does that mean and I want to solve my problem FAST! So I clicked revert and I can post comments already! Kudos to Vin! You saved my life! My layout's all fine and none disturbed FYI.

I wore a gown here, no thinking funny sana aa.

I wana share a look I did on my colleague, Irene during our SKM 2 A.K.A MLVK 2 (Malaysian cert) practical. We took turns and she did this look for me. I think it's the nicest anybody has ever done to me man!






Okay here's her look. I had my creative thinking on that time; I was thinking of pretty, colourful and glittery butterflies. So there it was! I focused more on the butterfly, since I never 'draw' on a face for make up before. I just did the make up like usual, using green eyeshadow on her lids (Elianto I think, cuz my eyeshadows are mostly from Elianto or Sera) and that was it. Line her eyes thinly with liquid eyeliner. Then I started to draw! The fun part actually, hehe.


I used the same darker green eyeshadow on the upper part, a green, glittery highlight on the middle (to pop the butterfly's colour) and dark purple from Sera (Sera 1 Borneo, KK). I drew the butterfly first before filling it with colours. Pretty easy actually, but it's hard to make the line's thickness the same, as when I exert more pressure or lesser, it becomes thicker or non at all and it won't look nice if you look closer la. Hehe. Then I added some green glitter (Sera, Rm7 each. Available in gold, green, white, blue,black, you name it). If I wana do this again, I would ready a black eyeshadow with a really thin brush to cover any over-the-line eyeshadow that might go over the black line of the butterfly. Doesn't look nice with the eyeshadows crossing the eyeliner, the eyeliner picks up the colour!

I thought this was stage make up, but my teacher said since the butterfly's not connected to the eye, it's fantasy. Boy was I disappointed. NOT! I know I did great! Hehehe..

Finnegan is one of the cats featured in peoplepets.com's "Welcome Home! Your Newly Adopted Cats" article which features 12 of the cutest rescued from hunger and cold cats in honor of June's Adopt-A-Cat-Month! He was adopted by Laurie Crawford.

I love his orangey-yellow fur~! What a kitty to have!

This is an interesting cat for you to see! Waffle is a half-munchkin and half persian!! Wow! And the result- "He is one big ball of fur and purr," writes owner Susan Cowan.

Those big, black, sparkling eyessss!!! =3

Kimberly Couzens rescued Babe from death! "I saw an ad on Craigslist saying he would be put to sleep in the morning if someone didn't rescue him. Now he's adjusting to life in his new home wonderfully!" (Revision: Babe is a he. xD)

Why would people wana kill cats?? Just let them wander around and find their life! Geez. I just don't get it.

Cheryl Hickey, dog-cat relationship is so nice when it goes well! Owner of Mabel and Bouncer (siblings people!) said, "They were welcomed by older cats Sylvia and Jasmin and Choo Choo the dog." "They all just love playing together, and it's a happy, exciting home!"

OMG!! They look so furry! Like dolls!!

"I caught them in their new kitten condo taking a breather!" exclaimed Belinda Isley. This pair of cute siblings are named Reba and Oliver. There's sad story behind their playfulness- they were abandoned when their eyes were still shut. So sad la, but they have a happy ending after all! (Psst: They are the top one for Click the Cutest Contest with a whooping 4,645 votes! You can join too if you want).


And there's Stella (a Maine coon kitty), Catrina, Kody (who looks like my previous cat, only diff colour!),Belle and Barney (who's gonna get a brother and sister very soon! Just wait there little one!).

And it was in the early morning and Kevin arrived there on an overnight flight from a concert in Vancouver.

"It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world," he says.

However, the engaged couple hasn't set a wedding date yet. "It still feels like a dream," she tells PEOPLE.

How They Met

When Deleasa,22, a former hairdresser, first met Jonas,21, in May 2007 while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas. she admits, "I didn't know who the Jonas Brothers were." It was Kevin who eagerly pursued her after meeting her and then spotting her walking on the beach with a flower in her hair.
