I am so excited about the MTV Blogging Contest and I can't wait for the results to be out! I submitted and entry about being a plus size model and I chose it because it's a topic that's close to my heart.
Prizes are Puma apparel and a $500 monthly allowance. Plus, the winner will be MTV's official blogger and gain all access pass just to events just like an MTV staff has!
I've always been a fan of rock music, but songs like Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls are some of my favorites, as they sing about love and in the way I like them. What do you guys think? Is it OK to sing about love in a loud, rock way?
Looking for a great investment? Try investing in silver bars! Of course, when choosing where to buy your silver bars, I highly suggest buying from the MDC, or the Monex Deposit Company. The MDC is considered as the American leader in gold, silver, and precious metals investment.
When buying silver, you have the option of buying them in coin or ingot form. Ingots are pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape, while coins are common and have a currency value. It would be a good idea to buy silver now, because the demand for silver exceeds annual production, and it has been such since 1990.
So, if you are in search of a great investment, do try out silver bars. With demands for silver exceeding supplies, you are sure that this is a smart investment that will yield high returns.
I've always had a passion for writing, and I am so glad and thankful that I cam across the concept of blogging. I can share my thoughts and opinions to the world, and even make a small amount with it. Imagine this, getting paid to do what you love!
Of course, since blogging is something that I love doing, I'd like to learn as much as I can about it. I wouldn't want to be just writing away but doing things wrong, right? So, I tried to search and find some useful online tools for a blogger. With the technology we have, it's best that I search and know as much as I can about this blogging world.
I learned that adding some images are a great way to attract more readers. Staring at paragraphs and paragraphs of text can be enough to drive a reader away, as a whole page full of text can be quite boring. Adding videos are also a great way to add some sparkle to your blog, as your readers can not only read about the topic you are writing about, but they can also watch it.
The choice of font, blog template, and the layout of your blog are also some things you need to consider when starting a blog and writing on it. When writing a blog, choosing how many columns you will have is also important, as you will need some space where to put your posts, some ads to help you earn money, and some images and widgets that will be useful to you and your blog.
So to all the bloggers out there, it is best to be prepared before starting a blog of your own. We wouldn't want to start on the wrong foot now would we? Happy blogging to all the bloggers out there in the wide world of blogosphere!
I've always admired the likes of Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. With their polished faces, impeccable smiles, perfect hair, and Barbie - like bodies, who wouldn't? When I was growing up I'd eat half of my food since I was never thin enough in my own opinion and I imitated their walks on the catwalk, I'd fix my hair and play with make-up, and dress up with clothes I found from my mom's and my sister's closets.
But when I got into a long term relationship that eventually ended up into marriage, I realized that I liked myself. Even though I was never as slim or as thin as I wanted to be, somebody fell in love with me for just the way I was. This realization came as an epiphany for me and it opened my eyes into self acceptance. Sure, I'll never be a Kate Moss or a Cindy Crawford in this life, but I was special and I meant the world to someone, just the way I am. For me, that meant a whole lot more.
Years later and with two children of my own who are also girls, I try to imbue in them the value of loving themselves. With motherhood and being a wife, I may have gained more weight than when I was single, but being a plus size doesn't mean the end of the world. I've learned that dress sizes shouldn't mean everything to us as it certainly does not hold the key to one's happiness. A dress size should not dictate what kind of life a person is bound to live, and it should not be everything there is about a person. There is far more to life than fitting into small sized clothes, and I wish I had learned that sooner.
All I can say is, to those who are easily attracted by physical appearances, especially towards thin people, you don't know what you're missing. Sure, they may be attractive and look better in clothes, but try being skin deep for a change. Being a plus size is absolutely OK.
I have always wanted a touch screen phone ever since the Apple iPhone was released, but I was stuck deciding on which touch phone I should buy. Of course, I wanted the touch phones pay as you go kind, because I'd like to be able to control how I spend - be it through SMS, MMS, and for calls, not to mention that I also want to use WAP for browsing the internet on my phone while on the go. So, I also have to take into consideration my data costs.
Samsung touch phones are the phones I considered at first, because Samsung is a great brand and it has always been very popular. Plus, Samsung phones do not depreciate fast. The prices of Samsung phones are relatively stable and they stay at the same amount for months and months. But I've never had a Samsung phone before and I don't really know much about navigating it and I wonder how I would go about using it. Of course, I would like to be able to use my phone to its full potential, and use all of its features to my advantage. With this in mind, I would like to have a touch screen phone that is also very much user friendly.
So I ended up buying Nokia touch phones, particularly the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music which is red in color, my favorite color. I have had a Nokia phone before, and it was actually the first brand of my first ever cellular phone years and years ago. Even though I was a newbie when it came to cellphones, I didn't have a hard time navigating my first Nokia phone. So, the daunting concept of me having a touch phone would not be so daunting if I had a Nokia one. As I thought, I was right! I totally love my Nokia 5800 Xpress Music phone. With its 8GB internal memory and 3.2 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, I can take all of my favorite songs with me on the go and take clear pictures and not have to delete them. With its built in WiFi technology, I can also surf the internet wherever I am! I just love this touch phone, and I wish I had bought it sooner!
We watched Drag Me to Hell a few weeks back and I just not got the time to blog about it. It's a horror - suspense movie featuring an ordinary girl with a great life, a great boyfriend, and a promising promotion at the bank she works for. But in 3 days unless she breaks the curse, she's going to hell.
The movie managed to make me scream in a few scenes, since they were very well made and the make-up and animation was great. The movie was also very fast paced and totally not dragging, and there's really no dull moment while watching the movie. All the actors were really great, and they fit their roles perfectly.
What I didn't like about the movie though is that the movie, Drag Me to Hell, had a very predictable ending. I don't want to be a spoiler, so just watch the movie and find out for yourself what I mean. It will bring out some screams, but I felt disappointed at the end.
I've never been the sporty type of person, but I am a fan of sports though I am not directly involved in it. I admire people involved in sports, especially those who are winning in the Olympics and those making a name for themselves because of sports. I wonder, will I be able to push myself into doing sports? I don't expect to win a medal, I just want to be fit and perform my best in the sport I choose.
