5 Reasons Why I Love Giveaways

The giveaway craze started off when I saw my former high school mates' posts on Facebook where they take photos of the things that they have won from some giveaway contests (they also got themselves freebies and samples from big big companies). I found it's pretty interesting that I asked them (Loretta, Nyet Sang, Julie G, Cherry Ting, etc) about it, and how can I get these freebies. The rest of the story? We end up tagging, and flooding our Facebook timeline with these giveaways, trying our lucks to win some of them. :) 

Rants: 5 Foods that I Cannot Live Without

Everyone loves foods because it is our primary source of nutrition, vitamins and minerals. So, I wonder what could be the foods that I cannot live without in Sabah, Malaysia. Most of them are high calories (and fibres). Who cares? They are way too hard to resist. *grin*

I Wish I'd Said That!

Sometimes I get frustrated as I look at my Facebook timeline. People complaining, insulting, arguing, and keep on re-posting sensitive issues over the Facebook. I would love to see a positive one - with encouraging, and inspiring ones - Enough to make me think that the day is just another challenging phase of life. Rather than wasting my time on Facebook, I'd rather read blogs written by people who share beautiful pictures, sayings, stories, or even ideas with anyone who's willing to look. I believe that they wanted to keep an archive of everything that is important to them - What they believe in, who they believe in, and basically the things that make them feel alive.

5 Things I Hate Being Pregnant

Pregnancy is beautiful, and can be full of excitement. However, it can be irritating (sometimes...).

Small to Large

I always remind myself not to think about Kim K's baby bump as I always get goosebumps whenever I see her baby bump photos over the Internet. I even remind myself to eat moderately, beat all the cravings, and control my blood pressure and sugar level. I have to 'sacrifice' all my sexy dresses because of the baby bump. I cut off my spending on dresses and jeans due to the fact that 'I-am-getting-larger-than-before'. It's a good thing too as I can save more in my banks. Frankly speaking, I hate when some people say that I look like a pig when having a baby bump. Never insult a pregnant woman. That's a taboo.

Beneath the Façade of Friendship

A true friendship is a feeling of love, sharing and caring. Friendship is not a façade for someone to play 'hide-and-seek'. It is a feeling that someone understands and appreciates you as you are, without any exaggeration, flattery and pretensions. Moreover, a true friend stands by you through thick and thin, and they will never stab behind you.

Friends don't do things like lovers usually do. They don't kiss passionately. They don't have sex. They don't do things 'romantically'. Yet, some people are squeezing out the advantages out from their friends, especially those who have close friends of opposite sex. It cannot be blamed when one has the fear of losing his or her close friends. We all have that 'fear'. It's not novel, but sometimes we are unconscious with the actions taken due to that 'fear'. For instance, some guys would tell others that they had sex with his best friend. The reason is obvious - Either because he doesn't want to lose her, or it's because he wanted to keep his ego or pride on the line. The consequences of such action might be intolerable as this involves downgrading the dignity of a woman, and a friend. He might have a 'temporary' winning cup, but once the secret is revealed then the game is over. A 'true friend' would forgive and forget, but does that still make a friend to stick with you after all the trusts have been broken into pieces? It happens around us, everyday. Sometimes, we do hear this thing happened to our dear friends, yet, we are unable to help them. Instead, we would keep distancing ourselves from this kind of people. The disappointment is there as the trust has been broken. Think thoroughly before you say a thing or even share the stories of your close friends to others. You might need to consider that not all of us would love to listen to the story, but having a juicy gossip is enough to make us considered as updated.

What would you do if you heard when one of your friend badmouthing or making a false statement of his or her close friend? Who would you trust after you've listened to both sides of the story?
