TO CRAVE FOR

After the holidays, I now have more time to sit and recall all the partying and fuzz. We are in this ordinary days of routine. But we have more time to reminisce and hope and plan and prepare for the next holiday season 10 months from now.

There had been so much singing then. My relatives and friends are all hooked with videoke on gatherings...and I have to admit I do not have the most wonderful of voices. Well, yes I can sing...but not the way I want to. I admire those who can get the attention of others with a smile of appreciation and not a quirk for the noise you are making or friendly laugh of encouragement. I know it takes practice. I know it will give you much bravado and confidence if you are sure that you will hit all the notes perfectly.

Now I believe I will forgo the dancing. I am good at it already...it's a God-given talent. What I need is a voice lesson. In a few months, with voice lesson, you can sing. Really sing. And it is always nice to be able to do better than others. What of you? Maybe you can join my craving to learn and be good?

We have our own preferences with regards to this issue, having different careers, being in different line of interest.

An older boss can probably mean more sincerity and formality but not always a need for more intensity to job. In the same manner, a younger boss can demand more time, energy and drive. They might be informal and more for the new age technology but would be more advanced and needs more coping up.

An older boss can be more customary and traditional but does not always necessarily mean to be predictable. A younger boss can be light and easy with camaraderie but could also be detached knowing the difference of a strict work relationship over friendly environment.

In your opinion...which is which for your choice and line of work?

It's not just me wishing this...but many others. Probably you as well?

I have always admired those celebrities or even commercial models having long hair. At times those long wavy hair and at times those with very straight ones. Truly worth craving for, don't you think? Its all shiny and bouncy...and HEALTHY!

What I know for sure is that those hair are well cared for. Maybe with the needed treatments that costs a whole lot. And I wonder if can't I have it without those treatments...the answer came: YES!

First off, if we want to have LONG hair, we need to have long hair vitamins. It cannot grow long without proper nutrients. Our diet may be poor with all the calories we are trying to lose to shape up. Be aware that we can't lose the nutrients we need to keep us healthy. We have to know the proper diet. And if it is not suffice to get the needed vitamins and minerals through the food we partake, we have to have supplements. Same goes for our hair, we need also to have a diet for healthy hair. We have to make sure that in totality our body, including the hair, is provided with what it needs to keep it healthy and strong. Eat the right amount of food, get the right amount of nutrients.

But it doesn't end there if you want those long, healthy hair. There are also do's and dont's we have to follow. Like in washing long hair we can't just wash with shampoo. Conditioner is a need to get the tangles off and to keep it moisturized. Rinsing with cold water than hot to close up the cuticles. The combs to use should be large tines. The drying should not be furious rubbing of towel or too often use of the blower. As well as not too frequent use of hair chemicals.

It's not so hard after all. It's just commitment and your true desire to have your hair long and healthy. I do...so soon enough I'l have it. And you?

It's a whole new year and I was kind of thinking that maybe I need a new hobby. Well, yes I will not let go of my reading pocketbooks, watching season by season of Grey's Anatomy or Private Practice or whatever else I am hooked at at the moment...but I think I need something more physically active.

And guess what I thought of? Kick boxing. And I have a punching bag already, thanks to my brother who once used it. The problem is I need something sturdy to hang it with. I believe beam clamps are the best there is that would assure me that it will not just suddenly fall off and hurt anybody, especially little ones, who will bein the backyard if I am not.

It's such a nice idea to start the year thinking of good health. After all, I was a little less active the past year. Now all I need is something to motivate me into moving. And it's always something that you will enjoy. Mine would be kick boxing. How about you?

Borrowing his thought...I believe that it is indeed the time to shine. There are times that we tend to hide beyond the shadow of another, or when we let other people's light be brighter than ours when we know that our light is in fact purer than theirs. Know in your heart that sharing the blessing given you will benefit others. That instead of the feeling of being overly confident or proud...feel that you are being generous. That you are not keeping to yourself the knowledge but making it available for others to learn from and to imitate. Let your light be an exemplary shining example, just as I fulfill my craving of extending help through example.

I am so into photography these days...and I honestly consider making use of such talent for the coming gift-givings during the holiday season that is just a few weeks away. But I can't very well just give them an ordinary photo print out. I want it different. Great different. Something I myself would want to receive.

And luckily, I have found this photos {to} art. They have innumerable wonderful art works to choose from. Art.com also is great at providing professional framing and mounting. A splendid idea of making your personal photo's modern and unique, either with hand painted black edges, something like those at museum thus they call the transferred photo into canvas a "museum wrap", or you can have the photo acrylic or wood mounted. What I love most in them is the possibility of printing in large sizes as compared to competitors. I'm even thinking of having one of my photo' s taken of a wonderful view during our last trip on the beach mounted as wall mural to make it a pretend window over-looking the beach. And I bet that the receiver of such gift would also be truly delighted!

I simply have tons of ideas, and that's one more thing you would love with Art.com, "it allows you to create your own work of art" at a 20-40% lesser price as compared again with the competitors. Really pleasing, right? But the greatest incentive you get is the assurance that it will last!!! The Photographic Paper lasts 100 years at least, discoloration of image can be minimized with acid-free mats if preferred and of the highest quality you can find!

A very promising author Dan Brown has yet again released another wonderfully written book...The Lost Symbol. His 5th most awaited book of his followers, which includes me. Actually have not yet read it BUT WILL SOON have my hands on it since the prices have already gone down (hahaha!)

I just have to have a copy of this...and it has to be sooner than soon!

One of my biggest cravings...go to a party. And not just any party, I want a masquerade party where you wear costumes or masks. It has always been one of my fantasies since childhood, to be in one with my friends and wear something really different.

I've seen them in movies but never got the chance to be in one...YET! And I plan to at least once in my life time. One time I've been browsing through and have seen varying kinds of Awesome Halloween Costumes Ideas. I guess this is one occasion that people have such opportunity of being someone else. But then I can use them in any other occasion since I don't plan on wearing gruesome costumes. I prefer being a fairy, or a princess, or a lady in medieval age...a costume to enhance my beauty and not to be ugly.

Maybe I can come up with my own party! Maybe for my birthday. Or earlier still for the coming New Year...and it will be nice to plan ahead. I'd love to hear your experiences on this. Have you ever joined such a party? What have you worn? Or have you ever hosted one? How do I go about it?

It would be greatly appreciated to hear from you...

I love people! It always makes me wonder why, but it interests me on how we all differ, in our differences in attitudes, in preferences, in our EVERYTHING. Sometimes I tend to just sit around and observe, and be happy for how each one of us were molded. That we have different exposures to life, and that we were borne to varying circumstance...but together we jive to live in one world.

Therefor, I truly enjoy meeting new friends. And I believe that dating is one of the ways to do that. This is when you get to be with another that goes to more than just saying hello. I don't care whether it is in person or in the net. I don't mind going to atheist dating, geek dating, Canadian dating or whatever dating service...because they are all people that would give me chance to get broader scope.

Don't you get curious on how one differ from you? Or how alike you can be to someone in anther part of the world? You never know...maybe you'll suddenly find the perfect mate, or the best friend you have been hoping for. Or maybe you'll get the best conversation you can ever have inyour life time here...where people join to talk.
