Tis the Season!

Click banner Onesome: 'Tis-- Hmmm... More or less an older contraction? Do you have any semi-archaic words you use regularly? Actually I don't think I have any. Twosome: the-- heck you say? Okay, how about a 'regional' saying you're known to be fond of? You know, the one the relatives just don't get when you say it on the phone... Sure, slang will work!Sui ge -this is Cantonese for "you are bad." It is hard to explain how to use this phrase. It usually is meant as a joke.

Apple pie? What do you look forward to in the Winter months?Ok, there is no winter here, so perhaps hot garlic bread, soup or pasta will do just it during the cold rainy days. ...

Life's Little Dealings
2007-12-12 21:42:00
Click banner1. What do you do when you get bored with life? How do you make it interesting again? Read and expand one's mind. Then will have more topics to talk to family and friends about. Take up a new hobby or even language. I am not very good at learning a new language though. I am learning more about gadgets and technology now for I may want to start a new blog.2. Do you feel you're a good communicator? Why/why not? I think I am an average communicator. I have time which is a plus point. I don't feel a need to rush to go somewhere when I am conversing with someone. I try to learn to be a better listener as time goes by, rather than talk too much. Ask questions to make sure I know what the other person is thinking about. 3. How do you vent your frustrations? Does it work for you? Why/why not? Talk to someone to get a different perspective of the matter if it is a serious problem, not just to gossip. Divert attention from the subject or resolve it as soon as possible. ...

Enchanted-Walt Disney Movie
2007-12-12 10:50:00
I finally watched Enchanted and had some laughs at the cinema. And the synopsis:An animated fairy tale meets modern, live-action comedy. The beautiful princess Giselle fell in love with Prince Edward in the fairy land of Andalasia. Fearing that she will lose her throne as Queen mother, the villainous Queen Narissa banished Giselle from her magical, musical animated land and to find herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day New York City. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world? ...

Where does beer come from?
2007-12-11 23:22:00
I was chatting with a friend who teaches at an International School (students from foreign countries) recently. She related a classroom incident that really had me in stitches. She was teaching the class about the food pyramid. Interestingly, one of the items that the kids of 7 years old had to put into the right category of the food pyramid was beer! So one little girl was having difficulty on where to put the beer. Which category does the beer go into? To guide the little girl out, my friend said: Teacher: Well, to know which category the beer goes into, we must first know where does beer come from. What is it made of? Do you know where does beer come from? Girl 1: Ah, beer? Hmm...beer ah, comes from olive oil (for the yellow) and GAS for the bubbles.To the dismay of the teacher, everyone was laughing and jeering by now. Teacher (my friend) noticed one particular little girl had the disgust look on her face to show that SHE knows the answer to the question. So teacher calls on second ...

Loans and Online Financing
2007-12-11 01:00:00
Loans and credit in commerce and finance is the term used to denote transactions involving the transfer of money or other property on promise of repayment, usually at a fixed future date. There are many types of loans and programs available for any loan or credit seekers online. Reputable companies can get your loan approval at a minimum of the time required.There are special programs for Unsecured Personal Loans for those who need quick cash and you do not have any collateral to offer. These are loans for individuals who had a blemish record in their finance history. Personal loans can be used for many purposes such as starting a business, emergency repairs of house or automobiles, shopping, to pay taxes, vacations or education.Some loans are inevitable especially if we work or live in the city. What I mean is the Auto Loan for our cars or vehicles. Auto financing should not be time consuming as folks are mostly on the run so to speak and time is money as they say. ...

What’s in a name?
2007-12-10 22:43:00
Click banner1. Are you named after anyone? Would you name a child of yours after you?I don't think I was named after anyone. I wouldn't name a child after me. It is confusing enough during the history lessons to know Henry IV or Elizabeth II, etc. Not that my name is Henry or Elizabeth.2. If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name be? If you could switch names with a friend who would it be?For this, I would need to ask my parents. But my brother's name is Rudy. If that is my parent's first choice in boy's name and I am the first child, most likely that will be it. I like the name Amanda and none of my friend's is named that. The closest name that I would like to exchange with a friend is perhaps Verona.3. Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do with your name constantly? Would you drop your last name if you became famous?No typos as my name Serena is well known. Hmm...I take my husband's name now, so not sure how to answer this dropping name ...

What is your comfort food?
2007-12-10 17:13:00
This is a tag from Liza. "What is your comfort food / drinks and why is it so? Grab a picture of it and post it if you may. Enjoy!" Ever since I know or understand the term comfort food, it has been Chocolates for me. Sorry I don't cook, so I won't even list something that needs to be cooked. Just love the taste of cocoa melting in my mouth. Dark chocolates, chocolates with fillings, those with nuts...well you name, I love it! And why comfort? Well, if I am upset about a certain matter, you can almost win me over with chocolates anytime. I will be cheered up and yes, comforted instantly for sure. I tag Linda and Meirz ...

I hate crowds and get really stressed by too many people around me.If you had to pick a new first name for yourself, what name would you choose? Amanda-my long time favourite was Diana but not now.
