GT: Pig Out Session!

Last week was very hectic for me and I was stressed out so I decided to go to the mall to unwind (window shopping or shopping is a stress buster for me-- I know this is disaster!) and we all know that when we are stressed out it's not good to go to the mall. Yes, my trip to the mall took my physical and emotional stress but it has put on a stress on my pocket! Yikes!

Anyway, since GT is talking about pigging out this week....here is my share. Dimsum day... I love dimsum and it tickles my taste buds just talking about it. So, after I shopped I decided I would eat and that's what I did! Went to M. Lhuiller's Dimsum and pigged out! I ordered pork ribs and chicken feet rice toppings, siomai, black gulaman and beef rice toppings! Now, I am quite ashamed but since we're all sharing our pigging out sessions, I guess I won't feel guilty! Lolz....

All About Me Mondays: Jealous Much?

Jealousy is not a pretty emotion.

But I think it's fair to say that we all succumb

to its power every now-and-then.

We're only human, right?

Are you ... jealous much?

What makes you green with envy?

What makes your green-eyed monster break free

and bare its teeth for all to see?
----------------------------------------------------------

I am envious of.....

• People who are filthy rich like Paris Hilton. They just don't run out of money.
• Super models and celebrities who are in great shape.
• People who work at home and earns a fortune like the problogger guy.
• I envy Beyonce's butt (there I said it)!
• People who found their soul mates.

Does this mean I'm such a jealous person?

Dog Secrets: The Cornstarch Experiment

For dog owners out there we all have encountered an issue with our furry friends smelling. I have the same issue with my dog a 5 month old Jack -Spitz. It's not a real bad doggie smell, it's her own distinct personal smell but it bothers me because I just don't like any smell coming from my own beloved pet. I was in such a dilemma until someone advised me to use ta...da... cornstarch!

Yes, just plain old cornstarch that we use in the kitchen! Surprised? Lolz...me too. I've changed the dog shampoo heaven knows how many times, I changed her soap too and bought different brands of deodorizer but her personal smell was still there. Until I found out that cornstarch could solve this problem. What did I do? I bathe the dog and soaped her all over and then rinse her. Then in a small container squirt an ample amount of shampoo and add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 cups of water, mix it then pour it over your dog's coat and scrub thoroughly and then rinse. Then place an ample amount of conditioner (in my case I experimented with my own conditioner lol) add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch again and 2 cups of water. Pour over your dog's coat and scrub and let it sit for 5 minutes and then rinse.

The finished look? Voila! A clean sweet smelling doggie! The cornstarch really helped get rid of her personal smell and it enhanced the smell of the shampoo and conditioner. Since my dog over all has a white coat except for a light tan patch on the face, her coat became whiter and she looked cleaner. Thanks to cornstarch it worked wonders! Thanks to my friend too for this useful tip. If you have the same dilemma try this I'm sure it will work for you as well. As for me cornstarch will be a staple product in my doggie grooming kit.

I used Cream Silk conditioner instead of doggie conditioner for this experiment.

Doctor's pet shampoo and herbal soap has this great scent I love on my dog that helps eliminate doggie odor.

I also use English Pride Natural Oatmeal Shampoo alternately with Doctor's Pet shampoo. This has a soft fragrant smell that is gentle to the dog's coat and skin.

An Insult To The Filipino People

Geez, I read this racist insults from Adam Corolla in channelapa.com  about his comments on the boxing hero Manny Pacquiao and the Filipino people it was ridiculous and belittling, I would love to see it all but the podcast was already erased from the list. I found this letter to Adam Corolla written by an Ariel Driz, who was enraged by Mr. Corolla's racist comments. I share his sentiments and views and to those who have not yet read about this please read below.


To: Adam Carolla, CBS Radio
Dear Mr. Carolla,
On behalf of the Filipino and Filipino American community, we are writing with disappointment and disdain in your choice to verbally slander Manny Pacquiao, the Philippines, and the Filipino American community. Your words were unnecessary, hurtful, and erroneous. When you insinuate that Filipinos “pray to chicken bones” or that the Philippines only has “Manny Pacquiao and sex stores,” you fail to recognize the millions of Filipinos and Filipino Americans who have contributed significantly to the United States and to the entire world. We do not pray to chicken bones. We are Catholic, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, and other religious and non-religious people who are civilized, educated, and successful. We are not sex workers. We are doctors, nurses, teachers, professors, artists, community organizers, writers, politicians, journalists, engineers, activists, fashion designers, accountants, entrepreneurs, researchers, social workers, public health advocates, athletes, chefs, and post office workers. We have taken care of you in the hospital. We have taken care of your children. We have taken care of your elderly. We have worked hard to achieve our American Dream, and you have no right to denigrate us like this, merely to get attention.
This is not the first time you have gotten into trouble for your racist remarks. You’ve called Native Hawaiians “the world’s dumbest people,” “retarded,” and “in-bred.” You’ve later insulted a Korean American actor by mouthing “ching-chong, ching-chong.” And now you apparently are trying to gain attention by insulting Filipinos and the Filipino American community. You apologized to the Asian American community before, but it seems that you have not yet learned your lesson.
It seems that time and time again, “celebrities” and “comedians” feel that it is acceptable to degrade Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in public forums. You would never have said such things about African Americans, as you recognize that your career would plummet, as exemplified by the falls of Michael Richards and Don Imus. What you need to recognize is that racial hate and ignorance about any group is wrong and unjust. And what you also need to recognize is that your hate towards Asian Americans, the fastest growing racial minority group in the United States, can also lead to your career’s demise too.
You say that the Philippines has “nothing better going on for it” because of their support for Manny Pacquiao. What you fail to recognize is that the Filipino American community has strength in our unity and our ability to mobilize, particularly when we are blatantly mistreated or belittled by people in the public eye. There are an estimated 3 million Filipino Americans in the United States, with millions of other Filipinos across the diaspora. We are projected to become the largest Asian American population in the United States, and we have allegiances with many communities of color. We will boycott your show and all of your parent companies unless you offer a public apology to Manny Pacquiao, the people of the Philippines, and the Filipino American community.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

PSALM 23 FOR THE WORKPLACE

I read this in one of my emails and it's  a great reminder for me to stay in the Lord's presence when everything is chaotic at the workplace. I am posting it here to share with you all.



PSALM 23 FOR THE WORKPLACE

The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without
murmuring and complaining.
He reminds me that He is my source and not my job.
He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions
that I might honor Him in all that I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system
crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping
co-workers, discriminating supervisors and an aging body
that doesn’t cooperate every morning, I still will not stop—
for He is with me!
His presence, His peace, and His power
will see me through.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.
He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens
to let me go. His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus
check.
His retirement plan beats every 401k there is!
When it’s all said and done, I’ll be working for Him a whole lot
longer and for that,
I bless His name.
