Taylor Lautner is now the highest paid teen actor on the planet!! Period. God knows which teen will earn more than he does now!

Turned out he got a another movie contract with Suri Cruise's dad!



Lautner has signed on to co-star with Tom Cruise in a flick that will earn him $7. 5 million!! Lautner will play “a gifted, young, aerobatics pilot who faces off with his controlling, billionaire father and falls in love with a gifted, female pilot.” According to MTV.com, the movie's about "four young pilots as they compete against the world’s best". Sounds interesting!

Katy Perry, 25 and Russell Brand, 34, proposed to Katy perry on 31st December 2009 while their holiday in Jaipur, India. Wow! Guess Katy likes a funny man in her life. And that's good! =)

According to a Perry insider tells Us, it was a christmas gift for Katy. She told him how much she loved Indian culture while they were eating curry in England, so he surprised her. Wow I never hear celebs liking curry before. This is good actually. And how nice, he remembers! ♥

On Dec 29th, Katy posted a picture of her and her boyfriend in front Taj Mahal. "He built this for me... " she wrote beneath the photo. Aww..

On New Year's Day, she shared a photo on her twitter: her hand being painted with a traditional Henna tattoo -"I'm typing this with one hand... Isn't it lovely? It's Henna!", she said. Awesome work man! Wish I know how to do that! Then I can do stuff.. =)

Here's Katy Perry's engagement ring. Looks nice enough, very moderate but I like that. Not toooo overly-sized. Just nice as an engagement ring. =)

I saw this article and I found several ways on how to make your blog better and maybe, popular and searchable. One of it is change your title tag so that search engines can search your blog.

♥ Run far, far away from the default template
This, like my own template here, the bottom part of my site isn't like that at first. It was the designer's notes and copyrights there. But I put it's link under About Glamiva and put my own words instead. =) It personalizes your blog too!

♥ Where’s home?
This is another thing. I myself will not search for it if it isn't either the header itself links back to the home page or the first left tab on top of the site.

♥ Get searching
This is also essential. Viewers can type whatever they are looking for in your site easily instead of scrolling your archives or tags one by one. Get google search box into your site here.



♥ Customize your 404 error page
Well...Blogger don't offer this feature- customizing your error page.. =P I think this page should offer a link back to the previous page or your home page.

♥ Underline your links
This is really important, especially if you like to highlight your words in colours other than your normal one. Like mua. xD

♥ Have a backup list of blog topics
Well, Jon Clark said that just jot down or type out anything that you can think of. Then blog about it when you can. But I got this idea - blog about something that is informative that can wait- information, data, educational topics and save as draft. Simply post it when you don't have time for blogging! Isn't that cool?

♥ Twitter!
Well well, celebs do it, I think a blogger should, too. Especially bloggers who has a lot of daily visitors and business. =)

♥ Don’t require registration to post comments
This actually made sense. Before I read this, I set my blog to require users type codes to be able to post a comment. Why do it if I can moderate (blog will hold the comments and notify you on what to do on it) it? xD Thanks a lot Jon!

♥ Comment on the blogs you read
This is very helpful in making your blog (or you) searchable, higher in the search results. Serious!

♥ Highlight your own comments
I'm interested in this one...but the article provided is...complicated and not clear. So I didn't do anything about this one.

♥ Show off the recent comments made
This is helpful. Yeap yeap. I myself tend to click on links from "Recent Comments" widget.

♥ Add your blog to your email signature
This means that a note or sentences that you include in every email you send. It is a powerful marketing tool!

♥ RSS Feeds
This is a must. No doubt about it.

♥ Recommend related blog entries

♥ Highlight your most Popular Blog Posts

♥ Get your own domain
No doubt, buying a domain of yours is better than hosting your site on a free-hosting website. It won't do you any good, SEO-wise.

♥ Have you optimized your images?
I learnt another cool trick, making my images more SEO friendly (higher rank in the image result). Search engines can't read images and for that, this is important! For example, <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kzuqSgBLlFE/S08zRrn7MfI/AAAAAAAAClU/z5sm5J9bbhI/s1600-h/z.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 126px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kzuqSgBLlFE/S08zRrn7MfI/AAAAAAAAClU/z5sm5J9bbhI/s320/z.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426612454865711602" /></a>
See alt=""? Add your tag inside ""! This will be read by search engines!

♥ Backing up your blog
This is very important, as a blogger who blogged for a year+ (I know this isn't long enough) but I do know that backing up your blog for template changes is crucial. Don't forget that. I keep copies of my previous templates- before-after in a file on my lappy. So that when you do save a template, you can restore it to the previous one.

There you go! I hope this helps!

Fish World has once again, added new updates on it's application! And I can't wait to share this with you guys! Last time when stealing friend's fishes were enabled and you can do nothing about it, they eventually made Security Crustaceans (now it's gone! What's left is only Blue Crab and it's on fishbucks)! I was so thrilled when I saw the newsflash when I sign into my tank -that time 3 people have already stole my fishes. It's at the Security Creatures section but when I saw that they need fishbucks..urgh. GREAT.



So I just buy sharks like I always do. They give you the most profit- the best fish! 1,000 coins man! Extra 1,000+ if they are really happy. So the tip here is decorate your tank! Make their happiness level to the fullest! It was exciting when I sold my first batch of sharks, I got like, 1,000,000++ . xD

And now I don't have to worry about stealing anymore! Fish World has added a new fish for this -Sting Ray! You can get them at the Security Creatures section or the Marine Life section. You can also buy them with coins! Priced like the sharks- 10,000 coins, they don't just protect our fishes from burgulars - they become adult in 4 days!! That's 3 days earlier than sharks!! I'm so happy!

Fish World has also enabled users to rename their tanks. Hover on the title of the tank (situated at the top of the tank). Click once and the title will be highlighted in black. Type in your new name and click rename!



You can also now arrange your tanks in any order you want (if you have more than 1 tank that is)! Just click up or down to position it!

You can also send free gifts right from your tank! You don't have to click the Free Gifts tab (next to Play button) anymore! =D But it's kinda crowdy, with the button on my tank...when I want to sell my 'excess' tanks, I sold all the decorations inside and I couldn't sell it off. Why? I refreshed the page and go back to the tank and found a decoration behind the button for Free Gifts. God. I nearly posted a discussion on the board.

Anyhow, I'm happy with the updates!

Watch out people. Hackers are getting so desperate for victims they actually start to use Facebook to hunt for prey. They spread about groups Facebook charging people on June 2010 or stuff like, "I won't pay a single cent on facebook", "I am against facebook charging", etc.

I've received such requests from other people, inviting me to join the group and via messages. They are all false! It's actually a trap for those who aren't alert on this kind of things.



Clicking on certain elements on the group page will initiate a script that will hack into your computer and gives your computer malware problems. Remove it from your group list and post on your status about it!

Regarding the issue (or should I say, rumour) of whether Facebook will charge users for its social networking services, here's what the company's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg said in an interview of Business Week April 2009,

"The answer is no, we are not planning on charging a basic fee for our basic services."

Since any news about charging people of using facebook, I didn't buy it all. It's ridiculous. Take a look at Friendster or Myspace, they don't charge people, and so shall Facebook.

Our favourite "Beautiful Girls" singer, Sean Kingston joins peta by posing with his furry friend, Stella in an ad for PETA that reads, "Chill With Your Dogs. Never Chain Them."




Check out behind-the-scenes footage from Sean's photo shoot and hear him speak about his own dogs and why being a good animal guardian is so important to him.

It's really sad to see a dog, in skin and bones, tied up, or worse, chained. Sure his ears and tail drop all the time. So everybody, make a difference today, and join Sean in being a responsible animal guardian!

There's a contest for 1 of 2 copies of Sean's CD Tomorrow or 1 of 5 photographs signed by Sean himself! Seven winners will be chosen at random and notified by February 1, 2010.

Next time your partner asks you why you want it, tell her all below and you sure are going to get a lot more! xD

♥ It's good for his heart(hey what a bout us ladies??)

According to a study at Queens University in Belfast, men who have sex three or more times a week can cut their risk of heart attack and chances of stroke in half. Wow!



♥ It's an exercise, baby!
One 30-minute 'roll in the hay' burns about 200 calories.

♥ Sleep more
A little sensual massage followed by some dancing in the sheets releases sleep-inducing endorphins.

♥ Stronger immnunity
Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that having sex once or twice a week boosts the immune system by 30 percent. Wow! So..if you're having a fever..I think you'll sweat more doing it eh?



♥ Stronger teeth?
Semen contains zinc, calcium, and other minerals proven to fight tooth decay. (Only trace amounts, but who's counting?) xD

♥ Better hold of pee
Sex tones the pelvic muscles that support your uterus, bladder, and bowel, meaning better pee control.



♥ I feel Good~
Right after your orgasm, you'll be practically swimming in oxytocin (we're talking a seriously intense surge) - a hormone of love and cuddle. ♥

The overload releases endorphins, which help alleviate pain from arthritis and menstrual pains.

♥ Regular periods
Endocrinologists at Columbia and Stan­ford universities found that women who have sex at least once a week have more-regular menstrual cycles than those who do it rarely.



♥ Relax!
"Tactile stimulation soothes nerves," says Evelyn Resh, M.P.H., certified nurse midwife and director of health services at Canyon Ranch spa in Lenox, Massachusetts.



♥ Tension? No worries!
Instead of screaming your head off, save your voice and have sex. It's a great way to release tension.



♥ Be free!
Express some of your more risqué emotions and behaviors -aggression, domination, in the comfort of your own bed. I'd put it to express your imagination..

♥ Be the Alpha Male/Female
When things go well in the bed and you're pleasing your partner, you feel more confident and powerful in other parts of your life. -San Francisco sex therapist Sandor Gardos, Ph.D., founder of MyPleasure.com



♥ Prevent cancer!
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, the more he ejaculates, the less likely he is to develop prostate cancer.

♥ Gives more happines than money does
A marriage that included regular humping was figured to bring the same levels of happiness as earning an extra $100,000 annually. Wow!



♥ Slows Aging
David Weeks, M.D., of Scotland's Royal Edinburgh Hospital, writes: "An active sex life slows the aging process."

♥ What else, make babies!
Sex can trigger the onset of labor when you're at term.



♥ And of course, you'll get more of it!
The more you have sex, the more likely you'll be to continue to produce testosterone, one of the primary hormones responsible for sexual desire. -marriage therapist Michele Weiner Davis, author of The Sex-Starved Wife

Evethough I'm young and still 20, I'm always paranoid about my health issues since my last experience with bacterial infection (not a nice one). xD

I practise more hygiene -wash hands before touching that KFC, use sterilizer, disinfected my brushes and make up ones, clean my nails more - even toenails!

Cancer symptoms, I don't really know except for the skin part (I study beauty remember?) like abnormal growth, discoloration, bumps, melanoma, etc etc. Others? What about ovaries? Lungs? Mouth? Eyes? Hair (is there such thing?)? I don't have a clue!

This post is about Common Cancer Warning Signs Women Often Overlook. Never take for granted that sudden loss of weight you just got -I know, it's exciting to lose weight in a big scale, but beware, for you may scare~ Muhuahuahuahua~ **Goosebump music playin in the background. Webmd.com interviewed Mary Daly, MD, Oncologist (diagnoses cancer in patients) and head of the department (wow!) of clinical genetics at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia for this post.



♥ Unexplained Weight Loss
Unexplained weight loss -10 pounds (4.5kg) in a month without an increase in exercise or a decrease in diet should be checked out, Mary says.

"Unexplained weight loss is cancer unless proven not," she says. It could, of course, turn out to be another condition, such as an overactive thyroid.

What to do: Expect your doctor to run tests to check the thyroid and perhaps order a CT scan of different organs. The doctor needs to "rule out the possibilities, one by one," she says.

♥ Bloating
This common thingy that we probably have everyday, could be ovarian cancer. Other symptoms of ovarian cancer include abdominal pain or pelvic pain, feeling full quickly eventhough you haven't eaten much or it could be urinary problems.

What to do -bloating occurs almost every day and persists for more than a few weeks: Consult your physician. Expect your doctor to take a careful history and order a CT scan and blood tests, among others.

♥ Breast Changes
Redness and thickening of the skin on the breast (may indicate a very rare but aggressive form of breast cancer), inflammatory breast cancer, also needs to be examined. "If you have a rash that persists over weeks, you have to get it evaluated," Mary says.

What to do -If the nipple changes in appearance or discharges (and you're not breastfeeding): see your doctor.

"If it's outgoing normally and turns in," she says, that's not a good sign. "If your nipples are inverted chronically, no big deal." Careful here!

What to do -Breast changes: Expect your doctor to take a careful history, examine the breast, and order test such as a mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, and perhaps a biopsy. Wow that's a lot of radiation... =(

♥ Bleeding between periods or other unusual bleeding
If you never spot or you bleed after menopause, it could be a symptom of endometrial cancer. GI bleeding could be a symptom of colorectal cancer.

"If a woman never spots [between periods] and she spots, it's abnormal for her. For someone else, it might not be." -Debbie Saslow, PhD, director of breast and gynecologic cancer at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta.

What to do: Your doctor will take a careful history and, depending on the timing of the bleeding and other symptoms, probably order an ultrasound or biopsy.

♥ Skin Changes
Oh I know this one. =) Changes in moles are the most common thing to look for spotting skin cancer right? Don't forget the changes in skin pigmentation!

What to do: See a doctor about the changes in several weeks. Observe the changes.

♥ Difficulty Swallowing
"It could be a sign of a GI cancer, such as in the esophagus,
says Leonard Lichtenfeld, MD, deputy chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society.

What to do: Take a history and order tests such as a chest X-ray or exams of the GI tract.

♥ Blood in the Wrong Place
If you notice blood in your urine or your stool or even the toilet bowl, don’t assume it's from a hemorrhoid or menses. It could be colon cancer, bladder or kidney cancer.

Coughing up blood should be evaluated, too. (Gee I'd say it's a must!)

"One occasion of blood in the wrong place
may not point to anything," Mishori says..
..but if it happens more than once, go see your doctor.

What to do: Expect your doctor to ask questions and perhaps order testing such as a colonoscopy, an exam of the colon to look for cancer.

♥ Gnawing Abdominal Pain and Depression
Some researchers have found a link between depression and pancreatic cancer, but it's a poorly understood connection. I'd go to a doctor if I have it all of a sudden.

♥ Indigestion
Indigestion, even in pregnant women! It could be an early clue to cancer of the esophagus, stomach, or throat.

What to do: Expect your doctor to take a careful history and ask questions about the indigestion before deciding which tests to order, if any.

♥ Mouth Changes **Smoker alert!
Smokers should be especially alert for any white patches inside the mouth or white spots on the tongue (double eeeww!).

Possibility: a precancerous condition called leukoplakia that can progress to oral cancer.

What to do: Ask your dentist or doctor to take a look and decide what should be done next.

♥ Pain
Pain that persists and is unexplained needs to be checked out.

What to do: Expect your physician to take a careful history, and based on that information decide what further testing, if any, is needed.

♥ Changes in the Lymph Nodes
If you notice a lump or swelling (gets bigger and bigger!) anywhere, prepare to worry!

What to do: Your doctor will examine you and figure out any associated issues (such as infection) that could explain the lymph node enlargement. If there are none, your doctor will typically order a biopsy.

♥ Unexplainable fever
Fevers more often occur after cancer has spread from its original site, but it can also point to early blood cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma.

What to do: Expect your doctor to conduct a careful physical exam and take a medical history, and then order tests such as a chest X-ray, CT scan, MRI, or other tests, depending on the findings.

♥ Fatigue
Fatigue could point to cancer as well as a host of other problems. It may also occur early in certain cancers, such as leukemia or with some colon or stomach cancers -American Cancer Society.

♥ Persistent Cough **Smoker alert!
A very prolonged cough (more than three or four weeks).

What to do: You would expect your doctor to take a careful history, examine your throat, check out your lung functioning and perhaps order X-rays, especially if you are a smoker.

Hi everybody! How was your day today? I went out to the Sebor Warehouse Sale at Kolombong (dekat rumah je~) just now. Wow I thought it was a WAREHOUSE SALE, tau-tau it was something like 2nd Borneo International Trade Fair or My Career Education & Entrepreneur Fair 2009. Where got sale! Dumb title they gave to the banner it is.

Back to the story I want to share with you guys, I got a newsletter from Peoplepets.com and I need to share this with you guys! Really, it's so amazing and some, are weird! And some are people's amazing experience with animals. Enjoy all 10 of them!





This China kitten, sprouted wing-shaped appendages on both sides of his spine when he turned 1 year old. Wow! Kitty with wings...so cute ♥! =3


I introduce to you the two of a kind, Zonkeys! Nah, they are actually donkeys dyed using hair dye and masking tape. Why? Gaza City zoo can't afford to have zebras. My god. Wonder what PETA has to say about this.


A Michigan woman accidentally knocked her 5-month old Sheltie puppy to death (poor pup)! But good news, the puppy came back to life after several minutes a neighbour gave him CPR. =P


Ever heard of tigers allergic to meat? No I don't- I hope will never, but this one is true- A horse allergic to grass! This 5-year-old mare is able to live a normal life by (a mare is a female horse age 4 and above, Filly is a female horse age 3 and below) wearing polyester wrap on her legs, blanket, hood and mask, 15 allergic pills and a special mix of sugar beet chaff and soya oil for food. Wow. Pity her man, I'm a horse in the chinese zodiac, FYI. =P


This Chihuahua Tinkerbell was blown away during a Michigan storm and was found (frightened) in a field a half-mile away by a pet psychic! Wow! First time I hear of pet psychic..


This vixen (female fox) stole 120 shoes in Germany! Officials found her den and found all the shoes intact and so result in their owners got them back. Does she hibernate or something?? Wonder what happened to her after that?


This 1-week-old Cocker Spaniel was flushed down the toilet by his 4-year-old owner in attempt to bathe him. Poor guy. Luckily, he was found alive at about 20 yards away! He's so cute ♥ in this pic! I'm sure this one of the Top Ten Best Family Dogs are as cute as those in Amazingly CUTE Cats..once Alone and Astray.


Bambi and Cute of Quezon City, Philippines are called by the locals, "dog-kangaroos" or as I just called them, Dogaroo's xD! Like you guessed why, they don't have their front paws ♥! Street vendor, Lope Tulipas owns them! They do look cute don't they?


A BBC television crew found this new species of giant rat (about a cat's size) in the deep jungle of Papua, New Guinea. The animal, measures 32 inches long and 3.3 lbs weight, was named Bosavi wooly rat! But, seriously, what happens if it meets a female mate and they have babies???? Total world domination by rats in 2020! xD


An Australian family (Sydney) who was selling Chihuhua puppies was taken by surprise when a potential buyer pointed a gun at a puppy (I think) in their home. She crazy or what??

children, you may read on. Don't cry ya


Luckily, they were able to restrain her until police arrived and the puppy was unharmed ♥! Thank god.

So how was it? I hope you enjoyed ♥ them!

Congratulations to our fourth American Idol winner, she's getting married! She got engaged to Ottawa Senator hockey player Mike Fisher. He popped the question on 20th Dec 2009, but didn't offer further details. Maybe she had to think about it first eh?



"I'm happy to confirm that Carrie Underwood is engaged to Mike Fisher, and the couple couldn't be happier," the rep tells Us. "No wedding date has been set at this time."
Carrie has her mind set on how she would like to dress up on her wedding day.



"I'm Southern," she says. "I like big hair and eyeliner. I want my wedding day to be me, so I'll probably be rocking some big hair and some eyeliner."


Hope she doesn't overdo it.

Carrie Underwood's engagement ring at People's Choice Awards Wednesday.

A representative at New York's Diamond Information Center said the five-carat round diamond engagement ring with diamond sidestones cost more than $150,000. On the upper scale, a diamond expert and chief executive of myjewelrybox.com determined that, based on website photos, the engagement ring had about 12 carats and estimated it was worth more than $1 million.

However, Mo Charania, a gemologist and owner of Jubilee Jewellers at Bayshore Shopping Centre, said it appeared the ring was at least three carats, maybe more, and was definitely worth six figures. I don't really care how may carats it is, but the figures...WOW!

Congratulations Carrie!

Hi all...Kevin Jonas is ♥ married♥ to Danielle Deleasa! Wow wow...I knew they'll tie the knot soon after their engagement! It was on Dec 19 at snow-covered Oheka Castle, a French-style chateau in New York’s Long Island.



Here's the video of it. Enjoy!



Michael Russo (celebrity event planner) created a fairytale forest under heated white tents, complete with 14-foot trees draped in hydrangeas and crystals made to look like icicles. Oh my god. He's wonderful! It really looked like a fairytale. "This is insane," those were the first words coming out from Danielle's mouth- I didn't hear it! xD


Russo says: “Danielle looked like a ♥ princess,” When she walked down the aisle in her strapless tulle and Chantilly lace ♥ Vera Wang gown, “Kevin couldn’t stop smiling ♥,” said Russo. “Kevin has said many times he feels like he met his princess ♥,” says Russo. “To see them together you can feel the warmth and the love all around them. They are just perfect for each other.”

“We’re so happy that we’re finally married and we were able to share the special moment with family, friends and loved ones ♥,” the newlyweds tell People magazine.

Congratulations again to both of you guys! Can't wait for Kevin Jonas Junior! =P

And gee, Vera Wang's gowns are popular for weddings...they really are pretty.

Hi all..I want to share another great Blogger tips! Before this post, I did a post on How to Add Read More to Blogger. And now another great tip- How to Change Title Tag!


What is Post Title? It's the title of you post! And do you notice that your blog's title is always first before your post title at the top part of your browser.

Do you know that if you reverse the oder- [Blog Title] : [Post Title] to [Post Title] : [Blog Title], search engines will find your blog more often. Why? It's because search engines (yahoo, google, bing, msn, etc) read sources's post title from left to right.




That means that, let's say, "Glamiva Lamar Odom's Ex-Girlfriend, Liza Morales' Feedback on The Wedding". Search engines will find Glamiva (blog title) first instead of the post title. They won't know what is Glamiva, what is that gotta do with what users are looking for on the web. But if you reverse the order, it'll be "Lamar Odom's Ex-Girlfriend, Liza Morales' Feedback on The Wedding Glamiva". Search engines will find your post and maybe, I hope, we all hope, the ranking would be higher.

I'm not really good yet at this SEO thingy, but if I said anything wrong, just comment here.

So how do you reverse the order?

1. Go to Layout, Edit HTML.

2. Find this code:
<data:blog.pagetitle/>

3. Replace it with the code below.

<br /> <html><body> <br /> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <br /> <title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title> <br /> <b:else/> <br /> <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> <br /> </b:if> <br /> </body></html> <br />

4. You're done! Check out your new...err...reversed titles! Wohoo! xD

Thank you so much Arvind Gupta for your article!

Hi all...I want to share this cool function- Read More in Blogger! I've always wanted my blog to have that 'read more' link at every bottom page of my posts (that only shows the first few sentences of my post). I've searched, trial and error everything from the search results.

Finally I found an article from Blogspottutorial.com. Thank you so much Rohman for that article!

This set up is pretty easy.

1. Download your present template and save to 'Back Up' your template.
2. Search for this..
<p><data:post.body/></p>



3. Replace with the codes below.
<br /><b:if cond="'data:blog.pageType"> <br /><br /><style>.fullpost{display:inline;}</style> <br /><br /><p><data:post.body/></p> <br /><br /><b:else/> <br /><br /><style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style> <br /><br /><p><data:post.body/> <br /><br /><a href="'data:post.url'"><strong>Read more...</strong></a></p> <br /><br /></b:if><br /><br />

Tip: You can modify the text used from "Read more..." to something that you prefer more! =)

4. Save it. You're halfway done! Congrats!

5. Go to Settings.

6. Go to Formatting.

7. Go to Post Template (the last section) and paste these:

<br /><span class="fullpost"> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <br /><br />

This step is so that you don't have to put in these codes everythime you make a new post. You're done!

8. Here's how to use the function.

You put your contents above <span class="fullpost"> if you want it to appear above the Read More link.

The rest of your contents will be below it and above the </span> code.

Done! Easy kan? It seems that this article is out of date, due to Blogger has is supporting the Read More function now. I did't try it, the method I've shown here isn't bad, I got what I wanted!

Hey all! Nice weather today, the Sun's shining, perfect for a day out!



Congratulations to Kourtney on her baby boy, I finally saw a picture of him at Huffingtonpost.com! He was only 2 weeks old and it was his first cover! How nice, a mag cover with his momma..sure he'd love to see this when he gets bigger!

Life and Style (L&S) interviewed the happy couple..





♥ L&S: Congrats! How does it feel to be parents?
Kourtney: It feels amazing. It's just so indescribable. You don't get how good being a parent feels until it happens to you.
Scott: My first time holding him was definitely special. But holding him the second time was even more special, and the third time was even more special than that. I fall so much more in love with this kid every day. I can't imagine how much more in love with him I'm going to be by the time he's 5 or 10 or 20!

♥L&S: How was the labor itself?
Kourtney: It was surprisingly easy and just an incredible experience. I always thought your first is supposed to be really hard, but it was easy. I have an amazing doctor. He actually delivered me! The room environment was just so relaxing, and everyone I wanted to be there was there--Scott, my mom, Kim and Khloe. No one under 18 is allowed in, so my little sisters Kendall and Kylie couldn't come in. Actually, you're only allowed to have two people in the room because of the swine flu -- so we snuck Kim and Khloe in!

♥L&S: What is your daily routine like now?
Kourtney: We're on Mason's schedule, waking up every couple of hours to breast-feed. But it's fun to get up and see him. I miss him by the time I see him again.

♥L&S: Can you see having another baby in the future?
Kourtney: Right now I'm obsessed with Mason and want to give him all my time. But being with him has definitely made me think about having another one! Kim and I are 18 months apart. Growing up, we did everything together. It would be nice for Mason to have a little brother or sister that many months apart too.

Congrats again to Kourtney and Scott!

Hi all..I love muesli and I've always tried to make my diet healthy..well, since I don't eat veggies but carrots, lettuce.. XD

Do tomatoes and corns count? xD

I knew my acidic body will not be good if I keep on eating all-meat and no alkali going into my body.


Zoelife's Muesli (I get them from Khidmat Supermarket or Giant City Mall) that has those nuts and fruits is our usual breakfast everyday. But one day..my mother brought home this Yogood Crunchy Muesli Travel Pack of 6! The pack had Yogood Strawberry Crunchy Muesli, Yogood Crunchy Muesli, Yogood Crunchy Yoghurt Muesli, Yogood Honey Toasted Muesli, Yogood Swiss Style Muesli and Yogood Fruit and Nut Crunchy Muesli.

And boy that was love. Love at first bite!



After that pack ran out, I was desperate for more. More Yogood Muesli! But..couldn't find it anywhere man. I've went to Giant City Mall/ Inanam/ Likas, supermarkets, even those indian small grocery shops! I know, it wouldn't be there, but I was desperate man. I even went to Tong Hing KK and Damai. At Tong Hing Damai, I asked those people if they take Yogood in or other branches of theirs. They looked at me as if I was crazy! SO rude. My mom said she bought from Lintas Superstore, but there were none when I went there.

After like, 4-5 months I think, God has answered my prayers..I saw it!! I saw my darling Yogood at G-Mart, Inanam! It was just opened that time and I was there for my mom went to buy fishes and veggies from the 'pasar filipin' (Phillipino Market). G-Mart is just next to it's left!




You can't imagine how happy I was, it was like, I found my lost cat or I got the Top Student Award in City and Guilds piano! I didn't see a big pack of the Crunchy Muesli, so I grabbed this Yogood Gourmet Muesli in Cran and Berries. It was about RM13.



It's halal!


Ingredients: Sultanas, sweetened dried cranberries [(cranberries, sugar, citric acid, elderberry juice concentrate, sunflower oil), (sugar, cranberries, blueberry juice, grape fruit concentrate, sunflower oil), (sugar,cranberries, citric acid, natural raspberry/ strawberry/ orange flavour with other natural flavours, elderberry juice concentrate, sunflower oil)], rolled barley, rolled oats, rolled rye, rolled spelt, rolled wheat, raisins, sunflower seeds and roasted almonds.

Allergen warning: Grains, nuts and seeds (see ingredient list). Packed in a facility that processes peanuts, wheat, gluten, soy, milk solids and yeast.


Nutritional information on Yogood Gourmet Muesli Cran and Berries .


All thanks to Pristine.. =)





Here's the top part of the pack. A little confusing...this won't ensure air-tight keeping...so why..?


The packaging for the muesli is the glossy type, won't get crinkled easily. Thicker than normal cereal packages, this is great! I smelt freshness when I opened it!

The smell is great, you'll smell berries with a hint of the healthy-fresh-ie part. Hygiene! Taste, it's not so sweet, great with my Melilea Organic Soya Drink..but the downside is, all the nuts, the parts that should be crisp and crunchy, wasn't crunchy! Boy that was a bummer. Weird, even if I tried them individually, they were still, er, un-crunchy. What gives? I don't know..even the muesli, the oats, weren't crunchy. This one, I don't know if they were suppose to be crunchy or not..but the Yogood Crunchy Muesli Travel Pack of 6 that I tried, they weren't un-crunchy, they were sooo nice! Crisp and tasty! Like kellogs!

I went to their website and found out that the Crunchy Muesli range is actually a cold cereal! Guess that means it can be eaten wihtout the need to cook it. I still wonder...do they Gourmet range is suppose to be not crispy?

I'll be still on the lookout for the Crunchy Muesli range. If anybody knows where to get them, do tell! Please! Miss it so much..

Any suggestions on eating muesli?

Thank you for reading!

Hi all...happy new year 2010! Boy how fast time flies...how was your new year's eve? Good? Care to share with us all on it? =P

I stumbled upon pictures of Denise's nail art that I did on her at the 2nd Borneo International Trade Fair 2009. Well..I kinda did 3 nails only, cuz most of the time all we did was sitting, smiling, telling people about our academy and wander around the place! xD

Here are the pix...I didn't edit them, want to show you guys the real colour tones. =)



Here are the three nails! Background was a kain batik. Denise's real good at taking pretty pix... =D




I was thinking of summer..like, no bright-neon colours, just, earthy, summer, sunshine, young green leaves...and the theme was batik, as you can see. I did the petals first. I used yellow and orange for the petal. Background was a shimmery silver colour from Skinfood Nail Vita range.





People loved this one! It looked so real! Well, maybe not here in picture, but it did! (Try you zoom out this page) And I was amazed myself. =P I was thinking of purple.. (our fav colour FYI) and thus, the blues in different tones.. The flower was navy blue, sky blue and white. I think this one looked so real cuz I used 3 colours of it instead of 2.





This one was kinda unfinished..I was thinking of red colour that time and my imagination was ruined by continuous flirting between I and food, the press and toilet.

All of these 3 nail arts was done using brush and the 2 pin-point stick (the one that has one small point and bigger point at the other end).

So what do you think? Any comments on my work? =3

Thank you for reading!
