It takes me approximately one day to get a hardware working decently, and about 3 hours of use to break it and attempt to fix it and fail, again.

The cycle never ends, really.

It all started with a scanner. I decided I want to start drawing, and process those drawings digitally via SAI Paint Tool, but I couldn’t get the scanner to work since I don’t have the proper driver for it.

I had to look for manuals online, and for a decent source for a driver without a virus (which I’m not very good at, to be honest)..

After a while I tried to see if my old webcam still worked. It took me such a long time to get it working only to realize that the lenses were broken and I could even hardly recognize my face from the camera.

I decided to get Royal Imaging document scanning services instead of having to fix stuff manually mainly because of two reasons:

1) I’m lazy.
2) So far, their services have never failed to make me happy.

You should try them out, if you’re as lazy as me. Five stars!

Greeting cards have been a big part of our history, in my opinion. Whenever people want to give something memorable to someone because of an occasion, they buy greeting cards and ask close friends to sign it for the person.

There exists greeting cards for almost any occasion. We all know Hallmark has been famous in this genre of the industry, but I’ve recently discovered something slightly more amusing. I found Inviting Company Invitations while I was looking for invitation cards to give out on my sister’s birthday party, and these cards are just plain brilliant.

Normally people would think that these cards are out of style, but these witty comments and brilliant design just works for me, you know?

I’ve been looking for those big greeting cards, so if you happen to browse by their website and find one or two, please let me know! It would be greatly appreciated.

Cable TV is perhaps one of the things you would love to have at home but then when you have it you never use it. In our family’s case, we have been dreaming of having cable ever since. However my Dad did not approve of it because he said that cable channels are boring. Without ads and commercials he said, TV just ain’t the same. I obviously did not take my Dad’s idea on cable channels. So now that I am working, I volunteered to pay to have cable installed.

At first everyone got stuck in Discovery, National Geographic and the cartoon network. But then after a couple of weeks, everyone was ranting that the shows just play over and over again. There is just no excitement in watching replays. So they started tuning back to the local channels. Now I noticed that no one, even me, is watching cable channels.

So now I realize what my Dad was talking about. I am now off to Rolls Roy to get outdoor tv antennas to replace cable. Weird thing however, I noticed my Dad got addicted with the HBO series “Game of thrones”. Perhaps it was because of the nudity. hehe. Oh well I learned my lesson. Never have Cable installed again.

Last month, my bathroom was renovated and was turned into a spa. It has a hot tub now and a sauna. For all the hardwork, I decided to give myself myself a treat by indulging in a relaxing vacation at home.

The hot tub was amazing. It certainly made me relaxed. I loved sleeping in the tub while dipped in a mixture of herbs and fragrances. However after a week of doing that, I noticed that the tub was not glossy anymore. There was a build up of salt all around it and it really pissed me off. I called the technicians who installed it and they restored it using some chemical agents.

It turned out I have hard water at home. Tap water, or faucet water, may come from different places depending on your location. Sometimes it is sourced from deep wells and sometimes buy one of those hot tub spa covers to keep the surface of the tubs from drying out. Oh what a relief.

Last night, I did something so naughty. I went to a friend’s condominium to hangout and have a BBT marathon but that was not what happened. You see, my friend pad is on the 30th floor so you can pretty much see every building nearby. My friend had a pair of steiner binoculars she got from her dad. We use it when we watch concerts so that we can have a good view of the artists. Last night we use it to entertain ourselves. Hehehe…

At first we were just looking down at the cars below. But then, in a nearby apartment, We saw a lit room with an open window. It was a bedroom with a couple in it. The view was perfect – open window, well lit room, and no curtains. And then it started. The couple began kissing, then undressing each other, then… you know what happened. And we were there to watch it all happen. At first we were so silent then we were like OMG they are doing it!

I know it was very unethical to do that, and even illegal, but I just can’t resist. It was a show brought to us live. How could I resist?

Acne is one problem I never want to have again. This had been an issue for me back in the high school days. My face had so many pimples that I even had pimples on my pimples. Yes it is that worse. And one more thing I remember, I had only one side of the face infected! Weird huh. I actually looked like Two-face.

Now, I am thankful that those good old days are over. How was I able to solve the problem? Well, I took a lot of creams, ointments, pills nothing worked. One day, my Granma approached me and told me the secret acne remedy that she used when she had the same problem. Take a wild guess?

Lemon juice, carrots, and honey – I had to take this for over a month three times a day. Yep, it definitely worked for me. Come to think of it, there’s nothing special about this remedy. However I never really drink lemon juice or carrots before. It seems like my Granma figured out what was lacking in my diet.

And so after a couple of weeks, my pimples subsided but it took six months for all the acne scars to fade out. The lesson of the story is basically – healthy eating leads to healthy looking skin.

You will often hear people say that to be able to lose weight, you just have to eat less and just exercise more. This is one of the most common misconceptions about losing weight. It is not as simple as that. I recently enrolled in a weight loss class to control my weight and to regain my sexy figure. Not that I am fat now, I just want to feel lighter and healthy.

Losing weight is a metabolic process involving a lot of chemicals and water too. You wont just slim down by just eating and exercising. You must do something to make your body remove excess stored fats. One solution for this one is lipofuse – a popular pill for weight loss. However since I am not fat, my coach advised me not to take it since I do not really need it that much.
