Gel as birth control pill

Let me quote billionaire, bad boy, hero Oliver Green aka Green Arrow on Smallville: "Okay, that's officially the biggest news I've heard all day."

And I am referring to this news: Contraceptive gel could replace birth control pill

How does it work? Simple. You just have to rub small amount into your arms, legs, shoulder everyday and in turn it delivers a dose of hormones that prevents pregnancy.

Moreover, it doesn't have any side effects and it's suitable for those who are breastfeeding.

It's still in the early stage of development though but if it gets out to the market, I would be sure to try it. Not because I am breastfeeding but because it doesn't cause any weight gain. Hehehe.

We do live in an amazing time, don't we?

Now, I am off to read more about business debt consolidation. We need to learn some practical stuff as well.

Saturday 9: Elected

Saturday 9: Elected

1. Many of my friends have commented they cannot discuss politics with co-workers, family, friends and others without conflict rearing its ugly head. Do you feel you can talk with your family and friends about this particularly divisive election?
+I am not from the US, so I when I answer yes to this question, I am referring to our local election. I've never had any heated arguments or discussion regarding politics. Maybe because we all like the same candidates..so far.

2. Do you know who you're voting for in next week's election? How did you decide?
+Not applicable to me.

3. What do you think is the most important issue in next Tuesday's election?
+Same as number 2.

4. Can you go a day without laughing?
+Yes, but it doesn't mean I have to. Right? =)

5. Do you think that you can chose who you want to love?
+Yes. Sometimes, the head rules over the heart.

6. Have you ever been on stage? For what? When I was younger.
+For different reasons: dancing, speech, quiz bee, etc, etc. All school related.

7. Would you ever live in a different country? If yes, where?
+I have been living in different countries for the past 6 years now. 3 years in Maldives, 2 years in Malaysia and 1 year in Cambodia (until now)

8. Any plans for Halloween? Not much.
+We just attended my son's Halloween school party yesterday.

9. The last costume that you wore, what was it and why did you choose it?
+From where I grew up, Halloween was not of big importance. We didn't celebrate it. Hence, no costume =(

I am honestly liking Burberry bags now. When I was in Singapore I was contemplating of buying a Burberry. And then it slipped my mind because I bought a Gucci bag instead. But when I was in the airport, I saw Burberry again and I wanted to have one. Unfortunately, my wallet can only cough up one bag at a time =(

Which of these totes you like best?

For dipping and diving

I think this is one of the coolest bath tub I've ever seen:

Maax Collection Viaggi Free Standing Soaker Tub. You want to guess how much? Don't, I'll just tell you. Hehehe. It's $9,450. I guess if you're loaded this is cheap. But for us, working class, we can only dream. LOL!

If I have a bathroom like this, I'd be sure to make everything look and smell good. How? First, I'd make sure I have the best bathroom fans installed. Second, I wouldn't use it. It's just for display, or for bragging. LOL!

Seriously, it's not bad to dream. In fact it is encouraged. So, from today onwards, I am hoping, I'll have a bathroom like this one day...

Of pills and exercises

Diet pills that work without exercise, is that possible? I've been wishing for a pill like that eversince I couldn't lose the extra pounds left by my pregnancy.

But guess what, I am too scared to try even one.

In the mean time, I will eat right and exercise everyday. I've been doing my routine exercise daily for two weeks now. But still no changes in the scale. I must still be eating a lot.

I remember when I was trying to lose weight a year ago, it seemed easy. I did not deprive myself with anything. I just ate in moderation and I exercised a lot. Probably twice a day. I am thinking I should do it again. I should log my exercises and the food I eat. That way, I could monitor everything.

Tomorrow I'll be doing new set of exercises which I got from self.com. It's called plyometrics.

This is going to be exciting. If you want to see the complete set, sign up self.com. I did! =)
