Thought for the Day

Success
by Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often & much.
To win the respect of intelligent people & the affection of children.
To earn the appreciation of honest critics & endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty.
To find the best in others.
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

Not an original but its been passed to me twice and its really striking. Only hope to experience success like this someday.:)

Most Wanted ---Not!

At least if I ever have to urge to commit a crime and go into hiding, thanks to my new discovery Makeover-o-matic, I know which looks not to attempt as a disguise:

1) Nancy Drew. Yep, my dream job when I was a kid doesn't look so good in the adult reality.
2) The flip. Very normal looking actually, maybe the fact that its floating on my head is what bothers me.
3) The afro. I've always fantasized about big curly hair...but I guess there's such a thing as TOO curly.
4) Blonde bimbo anyone? My extremely pinoy features just make it a disappointment haha.

Deepa and I stayed up many a night to play with the site. The main website iVillage has tons of other interactive activities to entertain the kikay surfer. Besides getting to try on regular AND celebrity hairstyles, you can try on the latest make-up, headgear and eyewear. Here the eeeevil part...the stuff is actually branded so if you like how it looks on you, you may actually find yourself running to the nearest store to by that new Shu Uemura brick red lipstick or that Benefits amethyst eyeshadow. Simply sinful! The site also has My Virtual Model, where you can try on the latest styles on a virtual mannequin you can program to have similar body type, decorating tips, make up tips, fitness advice, quizzes (what's your ideal body weight?-->nice to know I'm still underweight, which celebrity's body are you closest to?) and the latest celebrity chismis (best and worst dressed at the emmy's, the break up of Paris and Paris)....

Argggh! Enough kakikayan. I have to get back to work now.
