Who Wants An IPod?


May 20th, 2008

 

I do!!!  Mom’s Talk Radio,  is having an iPod Giveaway contest.  It’s an IPod Nano and you’re going to love because it’s pink and it’s 8gig! ;)  But first, what is Mom’s Talk Radio?  It’s a network of internet radio shows and podcasts created for Moms by Moms.  How cool is that?  It is very easy to join.  Here’s what you have to do:

  1. Listen to any participating Mom’s Talk Radio program in order to hear the ‘Secret Phrase’ for each show.
  2. Bring the Secret Phrase exactly as it was spoken and drop it in the entry box on the lower right hand column of this website.
  3. You can enter as many times as you have a Secret Phrase to submit.

That’s it.  Better yet, visit the MomsTalkRadio website.  The contest ends at the end of May so hurry! 

 

TMA #8: Diet and Exercise


May 20th, 2008

How important is nutrition, diet, and exercise to you? Do you read food labels? Do you workout? How healthy are you? In general, how often do you think your health?

It’s safe to say we all know that proper nutrition, diet and exercise are important.  I do read food labels and I so desperately need to work out.  I already started working out regularly at the gym and at home middle of last year but got lazy.  I need to find and get my groove back!!!  Oh, I’m healthy all right!  Hahaha! :)  I know I have it in me as I’ve done it so many times before.  I just have to find my way out of this rut and stop procrastinating and really really start working out already!  Argh!

That’s my answer.  Quite a mouthful, huh?  Talk about diet and exercise does that to me.  Hee hee.  Sorry.

Smooth and Silky…

…skin, that’s what I want.  I have been staying up late too much that it’s beginning to show.  Eeeek!  What’s worse is that I have very sensitive skin and I can’t just pick up any product from the drugstore shelves.  A natural acne treatment cream is what I really need.  I desperately have to get one tomorrow.  For now, I have to do something with my outrageous sleeping hours.

May Showers


May 20th, 2008

Can you believe it’s already June in a couple of days?  You know what that means…June brides and weddings!  That reminds me, a good friend who will be the maid-of-honor in a late June wedding and is asking for my ideas for bridal shower invitations.  Truth be told, I didn’t know invitations are needed for showers.  I thought a phone call, email or SMS will do.  They’re all I ever received anyway.  But that’s just my friend.  She’s very thorough that way. :D

Oranges and Orange Segments


May 20th, 2008

Once upon a time, I was a student of Architecture.  I loved learning about the world’s greatest architects, their works and the inspiration behind them.  It often surprised me that simple, ordinary, everyday objects were often the inspiration to numerous notable structures around the globe.  Like these…


What building do these oranges remind you of?  Nothing?  Maybe this will trigger something…


There.  How about that?  Any structure in mind?  Maybe it will help if I cut off a portion from each of the segments and arrange them a certain way…

Here’s another pic…


Believe it or not, mandarin segments, in addition to sails on a yacht and ribbed palm leaves served as inspiration to the design of the Sydney Opera House.

This marvel of architecture was designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon.  Ain’t he great? :D
