A friend recovering from cancer led this girl to re-read this charge in 1 Peter 3:1-7 on wives and husbands:
1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they [...]

the something else kinda love
Posted in emo-ments, life learnings, writings, tagged NY Times on July 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The NY Times (online or otherwise) has great articles. Mr. Toesocks, from the bowels of Uganda would read it as religiously as possible (in particular the fashion section- for good writing, no less) on the many days he spends at the club where they have internet. Kungfu Master is another one and a while back he sent [...]

Its been another tiring week- busy with clients and projects and little time for much personal rest. At least this girl managed some stolen time away with Brunei Princess and Warrior Princess (oh my goodness, she just realized there’s a lot of princess-ness happening) where they mixed work and some girl time out at a [...]
such promise

And so this girl woke this morning with a slight nervousness that she couldn’t place. It unseated her and much as her body craved more rest, her mind was racing far too much for her to really fall back to bed. She tried listening to her ipod (which sleeps next to her these days), she [...]
iphone nonsense
Posted in Life in the Town House, funnies, the boy, tagged iphone on July 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
As blogged before, The Boy has the new iphone which this girl openly secretly covets. And this is where the weirdness of the whole situation.
1. The Boy goes out with his phone less- apparently, it, being bigger than his previous Nokia makes it “inconvenient” to put in his pocket. Whe out together, this girl has [...]

While watching her new favourite talk show- Ellen- this morning, this girl watched the videos of these gameshow winners win the elusive million dollar prize. In particular, she most enjoyed the Who wants to be a millionaire? winner, John Carpenter win in such style.
Are you smarter than a fifth grader first million dollar winner.

Each time this girl and The Boy head to Hong Kong they get to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel with their great service, great suites and great food. In particular, they love the fact that its connected to the IFC buildings so they have access to great shopping, more great food and a cinema.
But [...]

The Made in China label has gained its fair share of fame and noteriety. Along with her ability to reverse engineer almost anything- if you give them two weeks with a product, they’d be able to create an almost replica for you. And of course, in light of that, its burgeoning imitation goods market: bags, [...]

This girl and The Boy bought 20 tickets for close friends and family to the latest Harry Potter outing; David Yates’s interpretation of the sixth installment of the epic JK Rowling series- Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince. And while there’s a lot of mixed reviews of the show, this girl, generally speaking, liked [...]
sheer fragrance

When this girl was in Hong Kong last year, she picked up a new fragrance by Stella McCartney called Sheer. In a fit of girliness, this girl fell in love with the beautifully designed pink floral bottle and its mild fleur fragrance.
One reviewer writes of the scent:
In 2003, the fashion designer Stella McCartney launched her [...]
getting savvy

Over the last year, this girl has been overtly subtly trying to influence The Boy to embrace Mac. Now, this girl fully appreciates that having PC can be convenient for gamers, certain programs (like accountancy whatnot) and the sheer ease of getting printers, programs and other such things.
Since this girl helped The Boy spruce up [...]
bewitched

This girl and The Princess have always loved the old 1960s show Bewitched starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York as the witch-turned-housewife Samantha and her advertising exec Darrin Stephens.
The show follows their hilarious exploits as Samantha- at her husband’s insistence- tries to to give up- valiantly- her witching ways and live as mortals do. Her [...]
the blasted flu
Posted in Life in the Town House, just me, the boy on July 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The H1N1 mayhem has ripped through the world. Like- and unlike- the SARS pandamic that gripped the world years ago, this flu strain seems tough to get a handle on with though with mounting casuality rates and (gratefully) far less fatalities. People don’t travel as much, people are oddly suspicious and overly cautious.
Now, this girl [...]

Temple medium abuses girl for seven years. Monk faces charges for embezzelment. Religious leader faces sexual assult charge. Pastor comes under fire for controversial music video. The news these days seems rampt with news on religious leaders getting setting poor examples for the flock they seek to lead. Some, even, betraying and abusing people left [...]

So, in the new company this girl struck up a partnership with a friend who was successful in her own right: seemingly hardworking, apparently savvy and untruthfully capable. Said friend ran her own business that seemed to be doing well and approached this girl with a proposition that would see said friend resell this girl’s [...]
