Snide remarks

There is so much of snide remarks that I can take in one day by the same person. I don't care how long you have known my spouse for but to me that doesn't me that he has the right - he is just somebody I know by proxy.

I find it outrageous that this guy thinks that he and I automatically have a special friendship bond - and thinks that what he says is funny.

I have to admit that sometimes it is funny - but when it is just continous it does get to me. I was thinking I might have upset this fella in the past but thinking even harder this fella is no angel as well

I want to say something but I know by doing that it is basically opening up a can of worms as I would be tarnishing the 'harmonious' invisible bond.

C'est la vie.

BBQ aftermath

Yes! Even though I was feeling under the weather and didn't really feel like attending a BBQ party - winning the main quiz prize made my day! All in all it was surprisingly a great day  and more surprisingly we (Hubby and I) really had a good time. :)

At this moment

Nothing much is happening, we will be going out soon to hopefully a fantastic BBQ gathering but that is about it.

Another weekend spent cleaning and more blogging.

Have a GOOD one folks!

Need more traffic ??

I kid you not , this is such a cool way to get more traffic to your blog. I am still new at it, but it so easy and much more user friendly.

Try it you WON'T regret it.

Blog hopping and Entrecard

So while Iam indulging myself with afternoon football - all the last 10 matches of the Premier League are on now. (yes I am that sad). I thought that I would clear all the old messages in my Entrecard mail box at the same time.

Revisited all the blogs that I used to visit back in 2008 - which brought fond memories - won a contest as well which I have completely forgotten.

However as I was clicking on another website that I used to visit regularly back in 2008 , I was shocked to learn that the author of the blog had passed away in January 2009. Yes a whole year ++ has passed since my gung ho days with Entrecard and blog hopping. It saddened me completely and it brought things into perspective and snapped me back into reality as well.

When we blog hop we tend to forget that bloggers are real people with real issues and problems, I usually get 'lost' in the blogsphere when I am blog hopping and 'dropping' cards. To read that someone had passed on is really sad. If her sister didn't update the blog on her behalf , all her readers would be none the wiser.

Does get you thinking what will happen with your own blog when that day comes.

May her soul rest in peace.

Show your love

* Show your concern by asking about the activities that your wife has done during the day
* Be a good listener to your wife.
* Provide at least 30 minutes of quality attention to your wife.
* Give the flowers, perfume or the like as a gift when she is angry.
* Cook or bring her out for breakfast/lunch/dinner out once in a while.
* Give praise the appearance to your wife (hair, face, clothing, etc.).
* Provide assistance or cooperation. (house chores)
* Spend more time with your wife, especially if both of you hold full time jobs.
* If you know you will return late, tell your wife in advance or home phone.
* When you have a problem, share it with your wife , do not place blame.
* Tell your wife if you wish to be left alone.
* Give hugs and cuddles to your wife at least four times a day.
* Give your wife a call from work to inquire every once a while , even if it is just want to tell "I love you."
* Tell her you miss her when you are away .
* If you are out of the country, call your wife everyday to let her know that you are okay.
* Always go to bed at the same time.
* Massage the back your wife once in a while.
* Hug your wife occasionally without sexual implications.
* Be patience when listening to your wife's stories and problems.
* Do not walk miles apart when you are out together. When out walking , it is good to hold hands
* Occasionally make a cup of coffee/tea/hot chocolate for your wife.
* If you wife is unwell, give her the appropriate attention.
* Pamper your wife once a while.
*Give your wife a hug before going to work.

Basically it is not rocket science. It is not us asking for mountains to be moved. The gifts and treats are not that important - just a few minutes of attention in a day is all what a woman need.

Telling someone you care doesn't mean spending an obscene amount of money. Being taken for granted is a terrible feeling and why would you do that to someone that you love?

If you can't be appreciative to your wife , don't expect to receive mint treatment from her. Women do things around the house not because for fun it's because that's how women show their love - they want their husbands to have a clean and in order home, cooking meals everyday means women want their husbands to eat good meals - women don't do this just because it is (assumed ) her 'job'.

If a man wanted someone to run around for them - then get a maid not a wife.

A marriage is a give and take situation, one party can't always take without giving. There must be a balance. If a man can't show a little appreciation, then DON'T get married. Women don't get married to be a 'free' maid, women don't get married to get more heartache and women certainly don't get married to feel less loved.

It is all ABOUT sharing.

Sharing your love and life together.

'Idlelitis'

'Idlelitis' - I've used this word in my previous post. Okay I'm sure many of you have used this word as well. I didn't bother checking whether this is a proper word or made up.

But it does fit to some people that I worked with. I may not be perfect at work as like any other human being, I do enjoy a little bit of skiving here and there . When I say skiving , I mean longer lunch breaks. (but I always have the extra hours to have longer lunch breaks).

However, there is one woman in my department (there are more than 300 people in this branch) who is so lazy and so sly. One thing I dislike about work is when people abuse the system and what is so strange about the whole thing is people like her always seem to get away with it.

How oh how does an 'idlelitis' manage this? These people are basically thieves, as only thieves would work so hard to come up with lies and bad antics to get a short cut in life. Yup let all the other people do the hard work, as long as their pay goes in they don't give a toss.

The story is so long about this person and I wish I could pen it down, but I shouldn't even have honoured this 'idlelitis' with a long post.

Just suffice to say that she should just resign and give her job to somebody who really wants to be employed. Anyhoo, I believe in karma... and as clever as she thinks she is , one fine day it will all come back haunting her. Her lies , her deceit (yup played the sick card but while being off sick she had a bbq party!) plus with her fakeness - she is worse than a politician +thief combined.

Sick of 'idlelitis' people!

Waste not , want not

Even with the over whelming amount of 'hung parliament' news coverage, one piece of news that slipped through was about eating and drinking f&b that has past its use by dates.

Well according to the news reporter ,the amount of food waste that we make today would shocked our ancestors.

One guy (but I am sure he isn't the only one) came up with an idea to start a business selling these products at a bargain price. Now with the current economic climate - this is certainly a brilliant idea.

I've checked out the website and it is quite good. I was especially interested in the coffee and pet food section. :) The only thing that I didn't fancy was the delivery charges but I didn't browsed properly earlier , it was running too slow maybe demand is high. So I will browse some more later in the night. It does NOT only offer delivery within UK but to other parts of Europe as well.

Now why didn't I think of this ?? I could be making a good chunk of income by now rather than having to work with people who suffers from 'idlelitis'.

Cleansing sponge(s)

I caught an advert today about this product.. how very interesting and also pretty much ironic. I have been searching for the right cleansing sponge ever since my favourite cleansing sponge 'died'. I got it from home and bought only 2 pieces.

So I bought the cleansing sponge(s) below from my local chemist, but boy of boy - it is not as subtle as my old favourite sponge(s). I've tried drenching it on thoroughly but that didn't do the trick. In the end I gave up and put it in the bin. It was just not worth the pain.

Next on my shopping list is to purchase the new Garnier product, read some reviews and most of it stated that the bristles are soft. Yay, I can't wait to try it out. Let's hope my local chemist will stock it. Bear in my folks, I reside in a small village and it may take some time before fancy new products are on the shelves.

A good role model?

Manchester United vs Chelsea 2010

I have one problem with this image .. not so much about him drinking while a match is going on. But the fact that he must be the only player who sits in the executive box (when unable to play), I have yet to see other players of other teams to do the same as him. Usually even if players are injured , they will sit at the stands. Am I reading too much into this?

I just think the whole game has lost it's purity and this is a classic example , where fame gets in the way. My thought is if he could make it to the executive lounge he could make it to the normal seats and be nearer to the team.

Indeed, they get paid too much for just kicking around a ball on a field. That is pretty 'disgusting' situation.
