Finally I'm getting the camera. I know I know that in my previous posts I had said otherwise but I opted for another supplier. I didn't like the idea of sending all details of my credit card via email to anyone!!! Hence the cancellation.
So I went to another vendor and bought all the necessary stuff. My Rebel XTi, lenses, filters, batteries, memory cards, bag etc etc. I didn't buy the most expensive lense coz... well it was expensive!!! I'm just a beginner so I'm starting at that level... Maybe later on I'll get something...

Friendship???
Topic of Discussion for Today:
Can males and females be just platonic friends? And can they introduce them to their partners before marriage and after marriage without fear of any fights etc etc...?
I don't like the world platonic but friendship is very sacred for me. I despise people who are really not mature enough to understand the meaning of friendship. Infact one of my friends who I count amongst my very good friends, P, is still in touch with me and he has introduced his wife to me as well. I don't know if there have...

Update
Guess what!!!! One of my friends... M is getting married!!! Its so exciting... I came to know about it last Monday. The news wasn't really a surprise since I knew that his family was looking for a girl for him... And apparently they found her...
The girl, A, looks to be really nice. (We haven't been introduced yet but I saw the photos :) ). They make a good couple.
I'm really happy for M and A. Hope they have a wonderful married life...
Engagement most probably will be later this year and marriage is tentatively planned...
Note to Myself
A sharp tongue can cut my own throat.
If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn't oversleep.
Of all the things I wear, my expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends..... B1.
The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts.
The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.
One thing I can give and still keep...is my word.
I lie the loudest when I lie to myself. If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished. One thing I can't recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won't work unless...

Good Advice - Part 2
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

Great Advice!!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!!...

Weather Patterns!!
Weekend was just cloudy...
Mon and Tuesday really heavy rains. Tuesday (yesterday) saw a lot of fresh floods!!!
Today the sun is shining and its hot...
No one can even say that yesterday the areas were flooding... I really don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow. Snow maybe!!!
Talk about unpredictable weather!...
Being Sick!!!
When someone at home is sick your entire lifestyle becomes chaotic. Worry is the paramount state of mind and nothing else matters...This year so far has been one ordeal after another.First was Mom and after she got better Dad's health sank. We've spent the last 4 weeks getting him on his feet. During Mom's convalesce we sort of neglected Dads health. And he is not too good at the best of times. Anyways when Dad got sick (he was home for 2 weeks!!!) I told both of them that the next one to get sick is me. I want some undivided...

Money!!!
Money- Thats what everyone is thinking most of the time... Especially more so recently :) Cost of living has soared like anything. Fuel, food and home prices are hiking at an amazing rate and I know for a fact that everyone is in some context thinking about how to make more money.
The main point here is not to think of how to make more money but really its all about how to save more without starving to death and without compromising the actual necessary quality of life.
I'm a avid reader of the Financial Sections. And every...
Cartoons
When I was small I used to love watching cartoons... Hell - I still love cartoons. I guess with the years my passion for cartoons has increased. Road runner and the Wile E. Coyote being amongst my favorites. I may have out grown Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse but not Road Runner. . . And I still feel for the Coyote despite him being a baddie.
He must surely being one of the brainiest bad guys around. He uses logic and of course science...

Sick...
Weekend wasn't much of anything... I think I'm coming down with something coz I really had to spend alot of time trying to get better!!! Dad was really sick a few weeks ago and I think I'm getting whatever he had at the time... :(
So yeah... not a good weekend.
I hate being sick. I cannot recall the last time that I was really sick. So this forced bed rest was not my idea of fun :( And I really wasn't in any mood to argue with my parents. They never give me instructions or "orders" but when they do... I simply cannot refuse....

Good One :)
For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman.
One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child.
If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write "Spaghetti" on the...
A Very Interesting Article.
The Incredible Brain (Daniel Tammet)
Daniel Paul Tammet is a British high-functioning autistic savant gifted with a facility for mathematical calculations, sequence memory, and natural language learning. He was born with congenital childhood epilepsy. Experiencing numbers as colors or sensations is a well-documented form of synesthesia, but the detail and specificity of Tammet's mental imagery of numbers is unique. In his mind, he says,...

Update - Mom
This week marks the 3 month anniversary of the biggest scare of my life - the thought of losing my Mom. She nearly died in Feb due to a something called Angiodema (swelling of face, throat, tongue).
Since then she has been on a very special diet. and I'm very very happy to report that till date (that is within these 3 months) she hasn't had any relapse. There have been no other facial swelling and this indeed is a big big improvement.
She is allergic to aspirin and penicillin so her special diet is mainly to avoid foods and...

General Frustration!!!
How difficult can it be for someone to remember their Mother?I guess I’m asking the wrong question here… How can anyone forget their Mom at any given time?So really unless one are in the middle of antarctic and really cannot contact there Mom, there should not be any excuse for not even wishing her on

Dad and Cooking
Cont’d from yesterdayDad has got into the mood now to do something special for Mothers Day. We are having our Father – Daughter meeting tonight to decide what exactly we’ll be doing. Though I have a fair idea that it’ll involve cooking!!! (I’ll come back to this later). My suggestion for Dad was to take Mom for a very long drive… you know the usual … take in a few sights, check out a few houses (designs that is) etc etc. His response on this was that Mom’s my Mom so I should do this while he’ll prepare food. Imagine this!!!...

Mother's Day
Mother's Day is on Sunday 11th May 2008. Just a mere four days away. I almost wish that it was further down in the year... I guess I'm just worried about how the day will turn out. Funny enough I'm not this wary about any other day (that is apart from Birthdays) so I have no idea why I'm having this swamp of butterflies in my stomach. Is it that I am not sure of how exactly the day will turn out to be... maybe!!
I aired my views on the commercial aspects of this day a few days ago. I still feel the same. And every time I hear...

Finally I'm Getting It
I am buying a camera and hopefully within a month I should have it in my hands… Gosh I’m sooo excited… Now I know that you might be wondering why one month and why not sooner. Its coz I’m getting it from USA and there are a lot of steps to take in order to get it here. I am forever grateful to Lisa, our family friend, who’ll be shipping it to me. Lisa you are the greatest!!! I’m forever in your debt. : )It was Lisa herself who sort...

Business Ideas
My friend had asked me a question and it got me thinking. Actually it wasn’t about rocket science or anything of that nature but a very simple question. Question: If I had the chance to start a business what would it be? And the amount needed for it… Here is a list of my top 10 choices…Real estate. Buy and rent houses and flats or start a Back Packer Resort $$$$
Open a Flower Shop- Only glitch is the supply of flowers. $$

She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.

Insensitive Commercialization
Mothers Day – May 11, 2008Mothers Day is being advertised EVERYWHERE. I turn on the radio and all varieties of jingles blast out promoting Mothers Day Sale. I went to town and all shops had Mothers Day Sale… In fact everywhere I turn I find some sort of advertisement for Mothers Day. And all this commercialization is driving me crazy…I don’t have anything against Mothers Day. But do we need a day to shower our love on our mothers? Why can’t we do it all the time? Do we need a reminder like Mothers Day to highlight just how...

What's Love?
From the mouth of babes!!
Little kids can be so insightful when it comes to defining things. Here's a look of what they think Love is...
Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way
Love is when someone hurts you.. And you get so mad but you don't yell at him because you know it would hurt his feelings
When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared she won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only does she still love you, she loves you even more
Love...

Too Hot?
I spent yesterday in Lautoka... Not at home but at the Lautoka Office which houses the Finance and Logistics. Not only did I forego the 3 hour drive but I also managed to go home for wee bite to eat.
And truth be told yesterday was maybe one of the hottest days that I have encountered. The last time was the summer in India. It was scorching hot. I was so very tempted to fry an egg on the bonnet. Just as an experiment you see. But then I thought of all the damage that was going to inflict and not to mention the wrath of my...
