I just don’t get it. Your weight always seems to be the concern of everyone but yourself. If you’re under a certain number, you’re too small and might be anorexic; if you finally reach the ideal weight that you want, you’re fat. Who set those standards and forgot to send me the memo? You may not have the flattest stomach and love your new shape but of course to some people you’re either fat or there’s something else going on that they just have to investigate 
It’s even more annoying when these people decide to spread rumors and you now get phone calls from your friends who want to know what’s going on with YOUR body. Whatever happened to ‘Live and let live’?

Yesterday I met this lady who just happens to be a little person and all I could do was gawk at her as she moved around. I don’t know why because I’ve seen little people before, but I seem to stare without realising that I’m doing it or until someone else points it out to me. We all know it’s rude to stare but what if you’re not aware that you’re doing so? I felt so bad because at one point she was staring at me too! Luckily she didn’t get offended and only smiled but if it was someone else with a mean temper I probably would have had my head chewed off. I don’t know if I’m ‘amazed’ by some people and I know what I do makes others uncomfortable but I don’t even know how I start or how to stop. Any suggestions?
It’s 2010 and we have come a long way, haven’t we? The internet and computers have changed from a mere desire into a ‘must-have’. I came across this website (doing my regular internet surfing while taking a break from school work) , which offers a service that I hadn’t heard of before today. Snoozester offers wake up calls and reminders for prices as low as $3.99. You simply schedule a phone call via the website and receive the wake-up phone call or reminder for an important event on your home or mobile phone. Anyone can create a free account and recieve 10 free credits. My question is: Why would you pay anyone to wake you up if your alarm works perfectly? I guess this service is ideal for heavy sleepers whose alarm clocks don’t do the job. But still, who would actually pay for this?
Tis the season to spend money-Christmas
As the December 25th draws near, everyone is rushing to put up the decorations, plan the menu, plan the parties and ofcourse complete the shopping. Now shopping is a natural habit for most women but most can agree that shopping for men is never fun. The usual gift ideas would include a cologne, a tie (if he’s a tie guy), a pen set (if he’s that kind of guy), a watch (if he’ll actually use it instead of his phone), clothes (if he doesn’t have enough already), or shoes. If I was a guy I’d be tired of receiving the same things every year. I decided to look up a new gift idea that would not render me the same eye-roll. While searching one of my new shopping sites gifts.com, I saw this interesting gift idea..a piece of the moon!
Doesn’t that sound like a scam? Well apparently it’s not. Anyone can now own at least an acre of land on the moon for under $40. How does it work? You pay for the ‘package’ online and you receive a lunar deed (stating the actual location of the property), a lunar map (revealing the exact location of your plot), a single page document outlining lunar codes covenants and restrictions, and ‘custom packaging’. Some companies include a satellite photograph of your new property. So basically you’re paying for pieces of paper. What do the companies do with the money they receive? All funds are supposedly used for lunar projects and other programs which seek to return humans to the moon. There are many lunar real estate agencies out there including LunarLand and LunarRegistry, who offer a variety of packages.
It still sounds fishy to me. But maybe we have come thus far as a people..maybe.
I have always loved coconut water (in fact just about any coconut product) and since I moved to the US I’ve ALWAYS stocked up on cans of the plain water and those with the huge coconut chunks (It’s available at almost any grocer now, including Walmart). What I was unaware of until today (since it’s written on the can before me) are the numerous health benefits of coconut water.
Coconut water is considered to be nature’s sports drink and is revered as a natural source of hydration, nutrition and wellness. It contains five electrolytes, more than that found in sports drinks, including more potassium than a banana. Electrolytes are necessary for heart and muscle function, fluid balance and acid/base balances. Furthermore, they enable the proper functioning of cells by carrying electrical impulses. Potassium is also required for regulation of blood pressure and heart function, promoting muscle recovery and preventing cramping. Coconut water is also composed of fewer calories than sports drinks and is a source of calcium, vitamin C and riboflavin.
Still not convinced? Coconut water is the only natural substance that can be safely injected into our blood stream (it is identical to human blood plasma). It has been used to save lives in 3rd world countries through this process of coconut IV (wow). Moreover, it is more nutritious than whole milk, containing less fat and no cholesterol, and is more healthy than orange juice. Who’d have thought?
