First Full Face Transplant

Face transplant boundaries were pushed even further. The first ever full face transplant in 24-hours was done in Spain. In these days and age, everything seem possible. I'm not really a fan of modern technology and idea but this is one of the them that I am so grateful for. A TEAM of surgeons has carried out the world's first full-face transplant on a young Spanish farmer unable to breathe or eat on his own since accidentally shooting himself in the face five years ago. It was the most extensive operation yet and the 11th known face transplant...

Rock and Republic's Alayna

There are those who wear jewellery on the ankles and toes. How would you like your shoes to have jewellery on them so you don't have to put extra on. I saw these Alayna shoes over in shoeblog.com. I like them - simple enough yet elegant. I would buy a pair if we are not saving up for some R&R (no Orlando vacation this time).

I Still Like Flats

The weather is getting colder. I should be looking out for boots or any type of shoes that cover my toes and ankles. But nah, I like flats and I'm still checking out some (like I'm reading Clinicallix reviews). Flats are always my favourite but I also admit that I have to enhance my height so I've been avoiding them. But I don't say that I have to stop admiring and wishing them. Aren't these gorgeous? They're zensu available in ozsale.co.au....

Are you Red-dy?

Been online window shopping again and my mood is inclined more on red dresses. I own a few red clothes but not really dress - mini or maxi. I'm on the lookout though but I have to buy it at the shops as I would want to try it on. Everyone had different body shapes and some dressed are cut for a specific shape which most of the time, is not mine. How sad is that? Maybe, I get to find one when I'm about to consider womens diet pills - which is...

Weekend Reflections

This is at the dam infront of the property where we live. The water is murky but it's quite high as it has been raining. Everytime my little boy and I go for a walk, we always have to stop by the dam to throw some rocks. Sometimes there are ducks swimming. There are trees around the dam. We always have a fear that my toddler will one day wander around and end up at the bottom of the dam - it's not that big but it is around 16 meters deep. That's...

I Want To Hold Your Hand

I have to admit that I haven't heard this song before (I'm not really into music before but trying these days as my other half likes music). I have to check youtube to listen to it. Anyway, here's my answer1. What do you notice about other people's hands?Length of their nails. When I was an idealistic single woman, the first thing that attracted me most to a man is the state of his hands.2. If someone was nosing around your house, what would you...

Printed Kids Shoes

Shopping for a little boy is sometimes no fun. I mean, I want to buy colourful and pretty printed clothes or shoes - something like heart, flower, butterfly. I'm too old for that but I like them and I just wish I can buy one for my kiddo. I wish. Yesterday, we were looking at sweaters and jumpers at the shops and I was so attracted to little girls'. We asked our boy and he said yes. He doesn't give a hoot what we buy him but we don't have people...

Food Trip Friday - 0417

When I was fairly new here, I was really amazed how much meat people in my Husband's family eat. Everyday and several times in some days. It's new to me. I'm more of a veggie/fish person. But now that I've lived here for quite some time, I'm cathing on in the meat-eating department. I'm a big time carnivore. Red meat, white meat. I know, it has it's cons (maybe including eczema) but sometimes, it's just too good to resist. Just like these...

She's Got Legs

STEP ASIDEShe's got legs! Jennifer Aniston happily flashes her famous gams on Wednesday while arriving on the Santa Monica, Calif., set of her latest film, Just Go With It.I'm planning to have a haircut next weekend and I thought, I'd want something like Jennifer's. All I know is it's layered - I hope the hairdresser can pull it off. It will be a major make-over for me for almost 5 years and the first time to have layered cut.. so many firsts (except...

New Laptop Bag

I was issued of a new laptop - well, not exactly but better than what I was using. It's the machine that one of the dev guys was using but they got new desktop. The bosses thought that it's better than laptops. It's 17" and heavy but performs nicely and it has windows 7. My boss said that I should have a trolley to carry it with. Yeah, because the bag is always half as heavy as the machine. So I bought a new one yesterday from Strandbag. It's...

Monticello

I've been keeping up to date again with shoes what-nots so I headed to shoeblog.com and saw the first entry about Monticello shoes. Here are some that I heart - colours and design.I probably could use the slingbacks as they are not quite exy (plus we've cancelled our healthplans - no not theBlue Cross Blue Shield NC) though, I'm just looking for something with an inch or an inch and a half heels. *****It's All About What's In Down Under | Permanence...

Ixora Variety

We were at Bunnings last Sunday and Mcj checked out their garden supplies. I couldn't resist not to take photos of all types of flowers. There are heaps. We didn't cover everything but I got lots of photos. I always feel nice and happy when I'm with flowers although I am hopeless in propagating them. It feels fresh and you can't smell the smokes of electronic cigarette. These are ixora yellow and red variants. It's suntan in the Philippines....

Fish in a Tank

When we are at the shops, we seldom skip going to the pet store. It has become an exciting place for us especially with a toddler in tow. We we found great gifts for moms here and for animal-lovers. One time, Mcj wanted to buy the little boy a cat but I strongly objected. We couldn't possibly have another one to look after to. Owning a pet is not a walk in the park but I'm sure animal lovers out there will say, it's all worth it. *****It's...

Planing or Driving?

Driving for sure.Although this may say something about me that's true, I candidly say I like driving especially when I am not the driver. After our experience going to Sydney and driving for almost 14 hours with 3 stops - driving with a toddler is enjoyable. It beats the hassle of looking for cheap car insurance, no schedule to follow, packing as much as you can fit in the car, the luxury of not packing at all if you don't have enough time and...

Bunny and Alice

We went to checkout if the bank was open the Saturday before last but it wasn't so we just hang around at the shops. In the middle of one of the alleys, there was this big setup with Bunny Rabbit and Alice. People pay for a photo taken with their child - I don't know how much as I didn't bother as the Little Boy wasn't interested anyway. I just took some photos but look, the light is really not good as part of the setup had sunlight - I thought...

Clogs and Loafers

Can you hear the cluckers now? My son would call it clip-claps. Yeah, anything will do to label the sound clogs make. Well, according to shoeblog.com, it's coming back this Spring in the USA. I wonder if it's going to be that in Down Under. I might take out my pair soon not for graduation though but for just staying home making graduation announcements. Hummm. I can't resist not to post about these loafers that I saw from shoeblog.com. They're...
