Happily ever after

It seems that people now a days want to go beyond living a fairytale.

Some doesn't want to be hardworking like Cinderella; some doesn't want to be patient like the Sleeping Beauty; and some doesn't want to be forgiving like Belle:

Everyone hopes for a fairytale,

A prince that's never frail, 

A castle with a big chamber,
And a happily ever after.

Everyone hopes for a fairytale,
Without imperfections unlike mermaid Ariel,
Without the ugly sister or any monster,
And a happily ever after.

Everyone hopes for a fairytale, 

And a happily ever after.

Blog Catalog: A Catalog Indeed

Google can be really helpful. When I looked for guides for blogging beginners, several write-ups pop out.  Different bloggers have different suggestions. Amazingly, one advice really stood out--that is, join a blogging society.


I tried a few but I'm pretty amazed with the format of Blog Catalog (http://www.blogcatalog.com).

The cool widget on Mac's dashboard define catalog as:

-a complete list of items, typically one in alphabetical or other systematic order, in particular

In short, a catalog is a systematic complete list of something.

True that, members' blogs are arranged by topic such as entertainment, fashion, pets, sports and etc.



Aside from the stunning number of exciting blogs and friendly users, what I really love about this society are:

• Members can communicate to each other--like real persons. There is a discussion tab where any member can start a conversation or discussion. Topics can be as witty as "artists as insane persons"; as casual as "what's on your mind today"; and as serious as "equality and freedom".
• Members can follow each other. It is like twitter with more content.
• It also have a read tab. Members can read each other's blog without going directly to their site. Isn't it convenient? (Though the down side is they might not be counted in the viewer traffic--KIDDING!)

Here's a shout out to my first lucky (or not) seven acquaintances!

Dream on

"What is your dream job?"--this is definitely one of those interview questions that you very well prepared for.

An applicant to a investment banking company will answer: a promoter of good and working financial and capital market.

An applicant to a pharmaceutical company will answer: a marketer of good health. 

An applicant to an advertising company will answer: an educator of good and safe products.

The sincerity of these answers is never questioned, these answers are most of the time taken as they are. In this economy that truly sucks, many are forced to apply for jobs they never wanted. 

     

A single mother of two will likely be forced to be a waitress in small diner. 

A 22-year old guy will likely be forced to be a plumber. 

A newly graduate finance major will be forced to be a bank teller. 

If you asked them this question five years ago--when all is well--they might have a different answer. 

The single mother wants to be a broadway performer. 

The young plumber wants to be a tennis player. 

The newly grad want to be a wealth advisor. 

Yes, the economy sucks! But that is not a reason to give up on your dreams!

Your current job is just a pit stop, remember that your dream job is:

The DIY Craze: Poverty makes one creative

I may not be the most fashionista person that you will find. Nonetheless, I love mixing and matching clothes. In fact, i made a poem for it:

     Glitters, ruffles and bows,

     Wear them not just for boys, 

     Purple, white and pink, 

     You'll love colors without a blink. 

     

     Hats, denim--

     And cowboy boots, are not only for men,

     Headbands, tiaras, and dresses,

     Are not only for prince and kings's misses.

     Every girl has a fashion wish list, 

     Drooling over LV and VC-that we can't resist,

     But in my purse I only see ten dollars and fifty cents,

     Oh how poverty torments. 

     A real life fairy godmother would say, 

     "Oh dear, brush the self-pity away,

     What you need is a little creativity,

     And let your imagination run freely".

    I, then, visit some Do-It-Yourself sites, 

    It turns out that fairy godmother is always right.

You can laugh now, I know it is a little bit immature. Hahaha

Oh well, the following blogs are very useful for beginners like me:

First Post

After a few cycles of deciding, dropping the idea, and reconsidering putting up a blog, I FINALLY decided to subscribe to this free domain ;). These two helped me decide to put up this blog:

• I miss writing. I know what you are thinking, this lady must be a dork. Yup, you got that right. I started writing (or doodling) before I started going to school. Love letters to parents and grandparents can be counted, right? 

• The secretive me. I am most of the time vocal about the things that I think, but not those that I feel. This blog will serve as my little pink diary, where I can share my inner-most desires, frustrations and dreams--without revealing who I am. 

Putting the drama aside, some of my posts will be about my recent travels, reviews on some of my favorite shows, and love letters. 

LET'S DO THIS! =)
