Beauty or Brain?

Everyone knows that the physical appearance is what we notice at first glimpse. The hair, the face, the body—these are what our attentive eyes detect at quick look. From the fairest of creatures to the not so fair, to the most glamorous, sexiest and to the not so appealing. Who does not like beauteous things, beauteous women and gorgeous men? Who does not eye for beauty? But how sad that beauty fades and disappear? It is withered by the ticking of time and the coming of age.

But who does not admire the intelligent and the brainy, who speaks with sense and reasons, in whose head dwells knowledge and wisdom, whose knowledge is not shrunken by time but rather amplified by it. The brilliant minds always awe us.

But to find beauty and brain altogether in one person is infrequent. The beautiful may not have the wits and the brainy may be deprived of beauty.

If you were to pick one, would you go for the beautiful yet dull or would you choose the brainy but ugly? (tough question right??) But bear in mind that in deciding who we will choose as partners in life, let us not make beauty or brain alone as the sole basis of our verdict.Let us not be carried away by the A's in the school card nor the pair of beautiful dimples on one's face.

I could use so many words to describe who I am but in the end you have your own interpretations about me and that is what matters to you. Hence, I would limit my "About Me" page to simple information that would give you an idea of me, yet without me exposing so much of myself.

Pump Your Guy's Libido: How?

How do you pump your guy's libido? I've answered this question before on my other blog. I'm just gonna add more to what I already know. I'm not really an expert.. (aww! What if tay and nay reads this.. whahahaha!)

Here's what you should do. Be honest. Honest hearts produce honest actions. If you can't be honest you will fail in your attempt. So learn to speak your mind to your partner. Be frank and straightforward. Tell you guy the hottest sex dream or hottest sex plan you've been thinking with him. Reveal your juicy imaginations with him. Don't skip the details. Be specific going into every minor detail of your wild sexual fantasies. Doing this can inspire your man to expose his fantasies too. And you can guess what follows next.

But please exercise caution. This is applicable only to lovers /partners who are very comfortable with each other already. Otherwise this might hurt you and work to your disadvantage. Your partner may find you flirty and pushy and a turn off.

Why on Earth Do Men Have Nipples?

Have you guys asked yourselves why you have nipples? I guess you have asked yourselves about this but you try to keep it a secret from all the other boys and especially from the girls.. lol..

So why on earth do men have nipples? It's because men started their lives as girls. During the

During he first 6 weeks in the womb, all fetuses develop as female and grow rudimnetary genital tissues as well as nipples that have the potential to become functioning breasts. At he 7th week, however, sex chromosomes kick in, masculinizing the bodies of babies destined to be boys. "while the genital tissue grows into a penis and testes, the nipples are left as is but without any biological funcion" (according Dr. Randy Morris)

It's good that men only have nipples and not real boobs. But if a man takes megadoses of estrogen he can develop real boobs too..

Schnoz-o-meter: The Lie Detector

How do you tell if someone is telling you a lie? It's a hard one. But here's a proven fact that will help you detect if someone especially your partner is lying to you.

When a person tells a lie, you can figure it out when the person starts scratching or rubbing his nose. Why? It's because the tissues in the nose swells when someone lies, making the nose itch. This is according to Health and Home Book.

You can try this one out. Observe your suitors if they begin to scratch their noses when they tell you they love you. Observe how many times your partner, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend rub their noses when they talk to you. This should be fun. But this is not conclusive all the time But still go ahead and try it. :)

Would You Opt to Cohabitate/Live In??

Cohabitation is a situation in which a couple who are not married live together. Cohabitation is on the increase especially in the west. Cohabitation has broad effects on the couples themselves, their offspring, to the social spectrum, and to the respective rights of the fathers, mothers, and children (not to mention the strong opposition of the religious sector). To illustrate, absence the sanction of marriage, it’s hard to draw up commitments and to enforce the responsibilities of the father to his children in case of separation. More so, separation of cohabitees adversely affects the child’s association of his kinship and lineage. Also, in a harsh society, a child out of cohabitation is likely to be teased and alienated. In addition, one can always deny fatherhood over a child, in order to walk off with the legal obligation to support.

Furthermore, cohabitation makes accentuating the rights of the cohabitees difficult. The likelihood of cheating of either party is so big, yet accountability is not clearly drawn unlike in marriages where responsibility and consequences are evidently established. Marriage lays down the rights of the spouses and provides for explicit means to redress such rights. Punishment in terms of imprisonment is available for offenses against marriage, while these are not provided for in cohabitation. Fidelity and loyalty are thus stiff to haul out in cohabitation.

Despite all of these downsides, cohabitation or living in, is still gaining popularity. Just about, people who favor cohabitation find it more suitable than marriage. It serves as the avenue to try relationships with someone, a trial and error program, where they can just end the relationship anytime they want to without the complicated legalities and technicalities and thus saves them from getting hooked forever to the wrong person!!

Let’s hear it from you. Would you opt to cohabitate/live-in?

Note: This is a repost. I wrote this article long time ago.

Count my Boyfriends and Girlfriends!

1,2,3,4… Cut it out! You prefer whatever floats your boat?!
You make me wanna puke!

… I’d like to rant and hit some nerves!

How can you love more than one person at the same time? Here’s the scenario in a real love story. One man loves two women at the same time. Some men are guilty of having two or more girlfriends all at the same time.. It’s really stupid.. But why? I just couldn’t get it. It’s definitely a selfish act. You tell somebody up-front all those beautiful “Shakespeare-like“ words to obtain their sweetest “yes” and then you turn to another woman and tell her the same words. Ain’t you just playing with other people’s emotions? It’s never fair to the women involved.

Both sexes or should I say genders are guilty of this. But I think men may be more prone to doing this than women. Of course you can argue with me on that especially if you are a man. “Defend the gang!”…. oh well, I may be wrong so take it as more of a guess and not a conclusion nor a judgment. I don’t want to be described as stereotyping.

But why do men do this? Why, I can’t think of any logical reasons? Let’s see, does it advance your manhood? Does it make more “Hunk-y”? Does it make you the utmost exemplar of MR. ROMEO courting his JULIET with the greatest love in the world to give. Heck!! You are so freakiiiin’ nuts! That’s not love. I call it cheating in the guise of love.

As for the women who are equally guilty of this, let me think of your reasons.. Oh I get it, you want to be called “Miss Hottie”so as to segregate you from “The Not So hottie”, the girl who who’s been kissed by every boy in town. How wretched! And you like being talked like that? Hey, you are not Paris Hilton! (grin..)

No one can serve two masters at the same time.. Duh! And it ain’t justified as multi tasking…lol. I won’t bite that. Faet! (I love using this expression!) You can’t love two persons at the same time. It’s one of the biggest lie you can tell yourself..the biggest deception/self deceit you play on yourself.

So got more than one boyfriend or more than one girlfriend??! Shut up!!!

Love Moves: Boy or Girl?

I think either boy or girl can do the first move. Traditionally and as part of our customary ways, it has always been the boys who do the first move. Boys have the advantage of wooing the girls they like. They have the license to verbalize and flatter the hearts of their adored, loved and highly thought of lass. While the girls, since time immemorial have zipped their lips and mastered the art of waiting for the lads of their dreams to notice them. And if go unnoticed, the girls forever hold their peace. What a pity!!!

I am a girl too and I find it unfair to give this engaging opportunity to express love to the opposite sex only. We are all on equal grounds, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Isn’t it? Come on. There’s nothing wrong with the old ways but there’s nothing wrong with change either. If boys can woo, girls can woo too. If boys can do, girls can do too. What’s the difference, the curve in a girls’ body and the muscles in the boys’. Does physique really matter? The idea of expressing love first on the girl’s part does not lower her stature nor makes her cheap. Rather it is a paradigm of being true to oneself and an exemplar of a mortal’s quest for love.

Death Penalty: My Stand

Death Penalty is an old issue. But here's my short take. This is a repost..

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo called for the Abolition of the Death Penalty. Whether she was driven by her personal conviction in doing that or simply just to get the favor of the CBCP and other religious groups that have continually played significant roles in our political arena, I don’t care at all. What matters to me is her decision. I am strongly against Death Penalty. If this kind of penalty is to be imposed there is a very real risk that the innocent will be executed. It is more humane to let the guilty go free than to punish an innocent man.

On the biblical side, I also find support for my belief. In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, God was willing to spare the wicked cities if there were ten innocent people within them. Death penalty is a cruel repudiation of the scriptural teaching that favors the innocent. How about the spiritual message on forgiving the person who sinned you forty times seven or the message against revenge, or the famous 10 commandments which includes the mandate: “THOU SHALL NOT KILL!” I am not so versed with the bible, but I very well know of these.

Why blot a criminal out of the catalogue of the living? Killing a criminal exhibits revenge- the blood vengeance of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If we kill a murderer to punish him, aren’t we also committing the same crime we are trying to punish? Certainly! Talking of Justice- does the taking of human life advance justice? Are we upholding morality and do we raise the value of life by legalized murder?

Despite the recent Maguindanao Massacre my view on death penalty hasn't changed. Oh yes, I'd like to see the criminals suffer, but if I let this burning anger and hate consume me, I am no less than a criminal too who wishes the death of another!

FYI:

Representative Bienvenido Abante called on his colleagues in the House of Representatives to begin discussions on pending proposals for the return of the death penalty following the Maguindanao Massacre.

What's your take?

Attempt to define Love

Much has been said about love.
But what is love?
Can you define this definiendum?

Naahh! Love is one of those terminologies in the dictionary that while defined is not fully described. Any attempt to define love using various terms are always futile, as this abstract thing, so intangible, so strange yet so common, defies definition. But the irony is that everyone understands a portion of this thing called “love”.

Love maybe likened to a disease with an existence extending beyond the reach of memory. It is an epidemic affecting countless lives of different ages, races and generations. There is no vaccine to protect the immune system from the love pathogen and there is no cure either for while it is a disease, it is the kind that the patients may willingly die for. Love is a recurrent infection in man’s mortal existence with all its torments that he so cheerfully embraces even till his demise.

Love can likewise be likened to an addiction. It strikes, it ends then infects again, only to die once more, and then the cycle goes on again. But who would want to get rid of this addiction when it brings people together, creates relationships, builds families and creates peace and tranquility? Who would blame such an addiction, when it is by it that you and I were born, when it is by it that humanity achieves the continuation of the species? The more you love, the more you lose a part of you; yet it doesn’t make you less of who you are, you just end up being complete. Should we rid of this addiction therefore?

Love may be expressed in words and actions, but it is in the latter that is best measured. But even in silence the powerful scream of love can be heard. Love is so ordinary yet so strange, so simple yet so vast. No one can give a full satisfying definition of love. Not even the greatest of all poets and philosophers accurately describe Love. But in our daily existence we see it, we feel it, we share it and we live with it.

In my attempt to define love I always do not succeed. While most of the time I always have one word to define it- You ( The People I love). I too cannot perfectly define love. But my heart can. Your heart can..:)

Defining love maybe humanity’s longest craving, but if I were to define love with one word, for me Love is "Great", yet if love be madness, then I must be crazy, and I don’t care! I’ll be the happiest craziest person on earth! :)

(Ga emote lang kay hapit na Valentines day!)

The X-Perience

Losing one’s virginity for the liberated, unconventional and open-minded individuals is never an issue at all. But for those who belong to the traditional, old fashioned, conservative, typical Filipino “maria clara”, the “probinsyana” and the pious, virginity is a BIG THING. (you might ask, hey miss blogger what’s your “V” status? If you dare! LOL! … I’ll just pm my answer.. hehheheh)

Well, looking on the Biblical side, virginity is a really sacred thing. It is not something to be tossed away anytime one pleases. Just as when sex outside of marriage is a no no. To engage into sex and lose one’s virginity without the benefit of holy matrimony is an issue each and every one of us must personally face and decide. Whether the driving force behind the idea of doing it is love or just lust of the flesh, the principles that we have and the belief that is rooted in us will steer us to whatever decision. I don’t mean to offend those who see no wrong with having sex and losing one’s virginity outside of marriage. As I said and am reiterating it again, it’s a personal choice.

I just wonder why having sex at the earliest, outside of marriage, is like a race for men, and eventually being dubbed as the “X-perienced”, the “NOT ANYMORE VIRGIN”, is the trophy. Losing one’s virginity appears to be the indicator of manhood. No hard censure, no eyebrows’ raised and no gossips and tittle-tattle. In short, it’s accepted. No license needed. It’s just justified. But when it is the women who get exposed of having lost their virginity outside the halls of marriage, it’s gonna be the bread and butter of every conversation, gossips, teasing, mockery, criticisms, harsh judgments. Women get tongued with censure. It’s like a disastrous, perfidious wrong.

Is this another discrimination against women that has not yet been totally addressed and exterminated? Hey, two different genders, commit the same mistake if it be so, yet each undergo different litigations and are adjudged differently? The same crime, the same constitutive elements, yet different sentence? Come on, this is horrible! Where’s the point? For those who are fond of judging books by its cover, come on Mr. Justice, be fair and square!

Some women who get snared in this thorny situation hope for a rewind button where they could just undo things after reaching the 7th heaven with a push of the button. But there ain’t no rewind button, only the jury of condemnatory eyes. Yes, at the end of the day, its guilt, anguish and the familiar regrets. Just like the famous line “Curiosity killed the cat”, curiosity can strip you of your virginity.

Anyways, the agony of harsh censure and reproach doesn’t end instantly. It doesn’t subside for a day or two, over a week, even years- like a bottomless pit, an infinite trench. While the X-perience is in the past and these scorned women try to move on with their lives and prowl for their MR. RIGHT and the much awaited “I do” vows, when walking down the aisle is just a stone’s throw away, this virginity issue will again pop up, resurface, like a dead now resurrected. It’s gonna stalk its victims by tail. What a sad plight for women!

Note: I wrote this article on my friendster blog and I just reposted this. ..

Design am Rhein for young & aspiring fashion talents

Adieu Tristesse! In hard economic times it is the creative industry that undergoes a noticeable boom, as is particularly the case now. People are searching for something new and fresh, they want to get back to essentials and reinvent themselves. Those looking for endless retro recycling will search in vain as this has long since gone out of fashion.

In cooperation with fashion and design school AMD Akademie Mode & Design Düsseldorf the Igedo Company is now tapping into this dynamism and will once again, also at the February 2010 edition of cpd, be initiating the competition “Design am Rhein” for young and aspiring European fashion talents.

“Design am Rhein” promotes dialogue between the creative minds in the sector. It arouses the public’s attention, dazzles, surprises and prompts new ideas. The cpd is an opportunity for the next generation: ten finalists will be competing here for first place with their collections. Awaiting the winner will be an individual sponsorship programme along with a presentation drawing effective attention in the media.

From the 92 international entrants ten young designers from six countries have made it into the final of this year’s competition. In a final show organised by the Igedo Company a top-class international jury of experts will select up to five winners who will receive a stand for two seasons at cpd. The first prize-winner will also be allowed to present their collection at CPM. The award ceremony will be held at cpd on at 4.00 pm on 7 February at Showcase Düsseldorf in Hall 11.

Exciting Looks for the Future showcased by…
Andrea Kristic was born in Sarajevo in 1986 and studied fashion design at the Artez Institute of the Arts in Arnheim. Her fashion follows an intellectual approach seeking a new interpretation of the modern woman where gender roles are broken up and male components play a major role. Her designs combine classic and high-quality fabrics with futuristic materials to create a partly flowing, partly static feel. Her current 2010/11 Autumn/Winter collection was inspired by the idea “panta rhei” – everything flows. Undulating folds in combination with flowing fabrics and billowing wool reflect shapes from nature and are a sign of total mobility.

Born in Belarus in 1982 Anna Jazewitsch studied fashion design at Bielefeld Polytechnic graduating from there in 2002.Her collection for Autumn/Winter 2010/11 entitled ‘Ofimatica’attempts to develop artistic and logical women’s workwear for today’s daily office work. The clothing might serve as a prescribed uniform for modern, future-oriented companies but also aims to generate a creative atmosphere and guarantee efficient work and wearer satisfaction.

Dancing Inmates - Michael Jackson's This Is It

Filipino, Philippines "Dancing Inmates" from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison, were treated to a visit by Michael Jacksons long-time choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid to learn performances from THIS IS IT.

Super Stretch line - timeless look & feel of premium denim

Fidelity Denim, an internationally recognized leader in denim design, announced the early delivery of its new Super Stretch line of denim jeans produced with Fidelity’s proprietary Italian made Super Stretch fabrications.

Balking a conservative, single style approach for April delivery, Fidelity is breaking away from industry standards by boldly offering a February delivery of Super Stretch in three new washes across four bodies for the premium/luxury denim market. In keeping with the company’s commitment to motivate consumers to buy luxury denim in 2010, Fidelity’s competitive Price-point compliments the game changing fit and comfort of Super Stretch giving hesitant consumers good reason to buy new denim.

With all the buzz surrounding stretch jeggings and skinny jeans, competitors have shown how reserved the market is by only offering one or two styles. “I can’t say I blame them because jeggings and skinnies are really niche, but jeggings have also shown how much consumers are craving novel new stretch fabrics,” states Fidelity Denim designer and founder Jason Trotzuk.

“The trick really is to offer a game changer with traditional denim bodies in order to lure the majority of consumers back to the stores. I believe that we have done exactly that with a heavy-weight stretch denim that doesn’t just improve comfort and fit but does it in leaps and bounds. Our Super Stretch is called super for a very good reason. Once the buzz gets out, I assure you that stores and denim lovers won’t be able to get enough of it. 2010 will be the year of Super Stretch.”

Origany loved by Hollywood celebrities at ‘Boom-Boom Room’

Origany's eco-friendly apparel was showered with compliments from more than 80 celebrity moms and dads at a two-day pre-Golden Globes event called "Boom-Boom Room" at Century Plaza in Beverly Hills.

The daughter of Golden Globe winner Jason Reitman will be wearing Origany as Michelle Reitman decided on the green pintex dress for their daughter. Reitman, director of "Juno" and "Up In The Air" co-wrote "Up in the Air" and won his first Golden Globe for Best Screenplay-Motion Picture.

Samantha Harris, co-host of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," picked up a purple Baby Alpaca/organic cotton knit dress for her two and a half year old daughter and was very pleased with it. Nancy O'Dell from "Access Hollywood" said, "[I] love the way your clothes feel and really love that they are organic!" Tony award winner and host of "Dance Your Ass Off" Marissa Jaret Winokur gushed over the reversible baby hoodie for her 18-month-old son.

Golden Globe nominated Joely Fisher from FOX's "Til Death" was very excited about Origany's line of certified organic cotton and baby alpaca apparel for babies and toddlers. She got two Baby Alpaca/Organic Cotton dresses for her soon to be two-year-old and four-year-old daughters.

Tiffani Thiessen, currently starring in USA's "White Collar," and also known for her roles in "Saved By the Bell" and the original "Beverly Hills 90210," chose the paisley kimono-style bodysuit for the little one she is expecting in May 2010, while Busy Phillips from ABC's hit show "Cougar Town" loved the Baby Alpaca/ Organic Cotton dress. "This dress is so soft, sweet and organic. It's perfect!" Phillips exclaimed.

Soap stars including Michelle Stafford, "Phyllis Newman," and Kate Linder, "Esther," from "Young and The Restless," as well as long-time "Lucky Spencer" from "General Hospital" Greg Vaughan all oohed and aahed over various items from our organic cotton line. "Lizzie Spaulding" from "Guiding Light," Marcy Rylan, and her husband said, "We love love the reversible baby hoodie!"

Celebrity moms weren't the only ones getting clothes for their little kids. Celeb dad Larry Birkhead chose a pleated purple dress for his four-year-old daughter with the late Anna Nicole Smith, Dannielynn. Evan Handler, who stars in "Californication," but known to many as Charlotte's husband from "Sex and The City," went with the same outfit for his three-year-old daughter.

Hardrock Hotel @ResortWorld Sentosa

While everyone is excited for the opening of Resort World this Monday,
I spent our Friday night at the new Hardrock Hotel @Resort World Sentosa.

I am so blessed to have the opportunity in staying overnight at one of the most expensive hotel rooms I know here in Singapore!

The best part is.

This morning as I was waiting for my friends, I got bored and had decided to explore the room. Fix the bed, turn on the ipod and then opened the drawers.

To my surprise I saw this.

Yes! The Bible!!!
God is good He keeps reminding me of His presence everywhere. I soooo love it!

Thank you Abba.

Of course, I opened it
and a chance to read few chapters of Job.

Cool ha?

It is an awesome Saturday today.

Will post more of the Resort world adventure on my next thread.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Heyy, have I mentioned that
These are all for FREE?

Copenhagen Fashion Summit Advocates Green Approach

The spectacular Opera house was the setting for The Fashion Summit held in Copenhagen on Dec. 9th. Over 500 attendees gathered to hear wonderful speakers give their take on more environmentally-friendly and ethical approaches to fashion and apparel. An eye-popping fashion show featuring new gen designers high-lighted by Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary added an exciting visual dimension.

Christian Kemp-Griffin, Edun, Laurant Claquin, PPR Group, Vanessa Friedman, Fashion Editor for Financial Times, Manuel Baigorri, Levi Strauss & Co, Marjorie Yang, Esquel Group, Ros Harvey, Better Work and Julia Gilhart, Senior VP at Barneys New York spoke to a rapt audience of Nordic fashion companies and media on the most important issue of our time: Taking responsibility being the key to success in the fashion business of the future.

HRH Crown Princess Mary of Denmark arrived to over-see the catwalk-show show-casing 20 new gen Nordic designers, and she held a short speech on the importance of NICE, and the jury's reasoning for chosing Finnish designer Saara Lepokorpi as the recipient of 50.000 DKK. The panel of judges were Margareta van den Bosch, Creative Advisor at H&M, Laird Borelli-Persson, Senior Features Editor style.com, Fern Mallis, Senior VP of IMG Fashion, Erin Mullaney, Browns and Ann-Sofie Johansson, Head of design at H&M.

Several issues were brought to the forefront during the day, also as a part of a panel discussion which rounded off the day, moderated by Peter Ingwersen, the founder of the Danish brand NOIR, one very relevant issue being brought up by Vanessa Friedman: We need clarity som the consumer understands what this is about, which comes back to a lexicon for sustainable fashion. A customer in a store will never read anything that exceedes a twitter message in length.

A wonderful dinner was hosted by the Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard at Copenhagen's City Hall following the Fashion Summit, where Crown Princess Mary, the Norwegian ambassador and his wife, and Lene Nystrøm were among the distinguished guests. The chance for Nordic designers to inter-act and discuss their common challenges in a global market, was one of the unique aspects of the conference. An exhibit by C.L.A.S.S. showing off eco-friendly textiles also engaged the designers, along with a better understanding of what enzymes can do to avoid harsh chemicals. (For more information on C.L.A.S.S. and Novozymes enzyme-processes, see "Production" under "Professional guide" and "Resources".)
