Inspiration...

2011-11-15T23:03:00.005+05:00

I have been waiting for some kind of inspiration, a drive to motivate myself to do something creative! Haven’t been able to get hold of one; for quite a while. Yesterday after a busy busy day at work, I felt like posting something on my bloggie. So, I posted one article which a very dear friend of mine gave me. Now that an article has been posted, I want to keep my blog up to date and keep posting…

Inspiration comes in so many various ways. Let’s take a look around us, we’ll find tiny things that can bring out drastic changes in our lives. I realized I had given up on my skills. I should not have let go of my interest. Now that I don’t write much, I’m out of touch!

I made a promise to myself that I’ll make an effort to write, draw and blog and to try and improve on my creativity, like how I had done on my very early days of blogging… Just like the earth looks much better after a heavy storm!

Wishing by my Prince Charming...

2011-11-14T20:54:00.006+05:00

This is an article posted for my dear friend Nysh. It is purely her piece of work.

My life has not been quiet itself for a pretty long time. I feel like it has become dull and lifeless, until recently. That’s when I met you. When I had completely given up on love, you appeared and have brought the unexpected twist. Our very first conversation had captivated me. Your charming gestures grabbed all my interest totally on to you. Day and night I keep thinking and dreaming about you. Each thought of you makes me smile, it brightens my day. Apparently you have become the only thing that’s on my mind constantly for the past couple of weeks. I’ve tried to figure out the reason what makes you so special to me. However, I’m still unable to make it out. I don’t know whether I mean anything to you but you’ll always be the very special one for me. And I’ll always cherish you dearly in my heart. Without your knowledge, you have become my sunshine. My only prayer is to be with you always and live in our own fairytale forever, happily ever after…

“I wish and hope Nysh gets her Prince Charming and they live happily ever after in their dream-land. Amen!”

Wish Upon and Dream Wisely...

2010-08-05T10:22:00.007+05:00

With great anticipation, I'm looking forward that my dream would be fulfilled by the grace of Allah Almighty... All I need is to pray for my Lord and hope my wish gets granted on the very righteous moment.

Dreaming strongly with a goal would help us achieve the goal!
Atleast thats how I hear it...

'Crush' - Jennifer Paige

2010-07-29T14:36:00.004+05:00

Here goes... one of my favourite songs!

Ahh, crush, ahhh

I see ya blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la

It's raising my adrenaline
You're banging on a heart of tin
Please don't make too much of it baby
You say the word "forevermore"
That's not what I'm looking for
All I can commit to is "maybe"

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll pay loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la

Vanilla skies (vanilla skies)
White picket fences in your eyes
A vision of you and me

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do
Depends on you

Creativity…

2010-07-22T14:01:00.005+05:00

Human; in nature are each different from one another. Every human being is unique in her own line of attack…

Creativity is something that is inborn with every human, yet creativity is defined in various ways by individuals. Creativity should be woken up, taken outside and discovered instead of leaving it to rest in peace or sleep, rot badly inside our brains!

Interest for Art, Music, Photography, Literature plus other artistic related stuff comes from the creativity instinctive with us. I believe creativity gets awakened by inspirations… An inspiration to do something! Inspirations may come from a person or something we see… or maybe even the situation can be inspiring for a person to do something!

Right now, in my mind; there are lots and lots of stuff I wish to do to develop my creativity… Wanting so badly to go home and do make-up on my little cousin sis and take some portraits of her, take pictures of all the cute collections of mine, start drawing up like old times and designing costumes, write poetry… ugh… all my favourite pastime activities some few years back! My inspiration to advance my talent just occurred due my boredom, damn!

Disguise…

2010-07-21T12:57:00.011+05:00

Disguise… it is something people do… although, not very often!

A disguise is to change the appearance so as to conceal the identity. It sometimes is to cover up the truth or the actual character. A person can disguise herself very easily with the help of a veil! Veils or masks are coverings as of cloth or an alternative material that entirely or partly conceals the face… enabling to disguise easily!

There are people who are capable of making a disguise even without the usage of a mask… it is the disguise of character, their personality! These people disguise their characters by hiding the wrongful doings and presenting a sweet, gentle and humbling character in front of others. They are the so-called double-faced people.

To their misfortune, those who execute good are capable of unveiling their evilness!

Morale: It is always thoughtful to leave the people who don’t do any harm, unharmed…

Future...

2010-07-21T12:16:00.003+05:00

'Future' is the term used on things that are foreseen to happen in time to come. When we were younger we never imagined how drastically things were to change... had anticipated everything will be calm and smooth as they used to be.

After growing up, we only realize there never was a time where things would have been so calm, so smooth. Its just as kids we are unaware of the things that happen around us and are unable to predict our future....

Future is that 'one' simple yet strong word that alarms us to be prepared, that the worst is yet to come and it might happen in just split seconds!

We all must always be prepared that there may not be a tomorrow to wake up to... We must always make the maximum of the today that we live in; as there may never be a tomorrow!

Its high time that we all face the reality, and accept all the facts... Future is unpredictable!

Cosmetic Foundations, Foundation Powders, and Other Face Make Up

2008-08-27T09:08:00.012+05:00

Loose Powder Colors

Pressed Powder Foundations

Pressed cosmetic foundations give a smooth, matte finish to the skin that helps control shine. It can be applied with either a damp or dry sponge. At first, it takes practice to use the right amount of powder.
This type of foundation works for all skin types and is easy to carry around since it's not as messy as loose powder. This makes it quick and handy for touch ups. It is available in more shades than loose powder.
When choosing a shade, get one as close to your foundation color as you can and use lightly since it tends to accumulate on your skin during touch ups.

Pressed Powder Colors

Liquid Foundations

These usually offer light to medium coverage, can be applied using a sponge and are available in a wide range of colors that can be mixed to obtain in-between shades to match your skin tone (only mix cosmetic foundations of the same brand). Because liquid foundation is a more lightweight finish than compact it tends to be easier to use on dry skin. It is also best applied using cosmetic sponges.
To avoid a streaky finish place a very small amount of foundation on sponges and always brush over with powder. The powder helps the cosmetic foundations last longer.
Make sure you get the right cosmetic foundations for your skin type - choose an oil-based foundation for dry skin, water-based foundation for normal skin, and 'oil-free' foundation for oily skin. You can apply moisturizer 5 to 10 minutes before beginning your face make-up application.

Liquid Foundation Colors

Cream Foundation

When using a cream-based cosmetic foundations, concealer may be applied either before or after the foundation. Use a wedge-shaped latex sponge and light strokes to apply the foundation across the face.

You can tell how a cream will cover by how it feels to the touch. The thicker and heavier it feels, the more it covers. So if it feels slightly dry it offers light to medium cover. Very rich creams are used for stage.
Try not to cover too thick with cream foundation or it may look artificial and draw attention to itself.

Cream Foundation Colors

Concealer

Concealer provides extra cover to specific areas of the face that require more cover than that provided by cosmetic foundations alone such as dark circles under the eyes, a pimple, tiny veins, or redness at the sides of the nose. Concealer also offers a good base for eye shadow when applied to the eyelids.
Concealers generally come in stick, liquid, or cream form. For blemishes, a thick dry stick concealer is good; liquid concealers are thin and runny; cream works for almost everything and everyone.
Concealer should be one or two shades lighter than your cosmetic foundations and have the same undertone (go two shades lighter for very dark circles). Concealer comes in a limited number of shades.

Storyteller’s Twisted Tale…

2008-06-30T09:25:00.012+05:00

Every night before I rest off to sleep, I was told a beautiful fairy tale or a Maldivian tale; when I was little. The magical touch of the fairy dust from the wand put me to sleep like I’m in heaven. As days passed by, I raised interest in narrating the tales and singing them Lullabies and Nursery Rhymes to my folks. Like wise, I started recording my stories for programs at the National Radio Station when I was a little older. One Friday afternoon I went for the recording; started my story and carried on. When I reached almost the end of the story, the red bulb switched on; which meant that the recording is paused. The recording technician told me to re-think what I was saying. I thought about what I was saying a lot of times and then continued, but each time the red bulb kept switching on. After about ten attempts or more, the technician asked me to continue. I carried on it the end. One week later when it was aired; all my family (mum, cousins and aunties) were laughing and making fun of what I read. It didn’t ring a bell to me then… but long long time after that, when I was in my late teen; it striked to me what I said that day at the studio and how funny it was… then I laughed my head off… I read a story about a little girl, her mother and a tiger that day.

The story goes as follows:
.........Long Long ago… deep down in the forest lives a little girl and her mother. Every day mother goes out for work leaving the girl alone at home. Since they live isolated from the people, they don’t have any neighbours to look after the girl until her mother returns home. And there lived a big tiger in the forest… in a tree just near their home. The tiger is keen to eat the little girl up. So he knocks on the door and waits outside till she opens. But mother has told the girl not to open the door unless it’s her mother. So she doesn’t open the door. She says she won’t open the door; she opens only for her mother. So this tiger thought he must learn her mother’s voice. The tiger knocks on the door and speaks up but the girl is clever that she knew it was not her mother. The same day she told her mother what happened, when she returned from work. Her mother got a very good idea, she told the girl to tell the tiger that come home tomorrow, and she’ll fry up a goat head and keep for him and told the tiger that it tastes wonderful. Tiger is very excited about this fried goat head. Next morning her mother buys a BIG IRON BALL from the market and cooks it till very hot. Mother pretends she has gone for work and gets back in the house without seeing to the tiger. The tiger imitates the mother’s voice and calls to open the door. Then the girl opens the door and the tiger opens his mouth to eat the fried goat head and the mother puts the BIG HOT IRON BALL into the tiger’s mouth and he cries to death…

Umm… well that is the story in short… does anyone want to know what I said that day at the recording…

I said, that the mother cooked a BIG RUBBER BALL and put it in the tiger’s mouth! "Dhen e rabaru Boalha kakkafa tiger ge anga ah lee yo..."Just imagine a rubber ball will melt before it got cooked… and its a joke... I made a big fool out of myself!

But I suppose that’s a good twist to the original story… hehe… *blush* *blush*

Brain Teaser - 01: How many were going on hiking?

2008-04-20T10:59:00.010+05:00

Here's a new activity for all my buddy bloggers. I'll ask a series of brain teasers... Lets see who gets them correct!

Brain Teaser - 01

While on my way hiking to the mountain top, I saw a man with 7 wives. Each wife had 7 sacks. Each sack had 7 cats. Each cat had 7 kittens. Kitten, cats, sacks, wives, How many were going on hiking?

Flowers...

2008-03-30T10:44:00.004+05:00

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

Life is a succession of moments.
To live each one is to succeed.
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.

Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

All weddings are similar, but every marriage is different.

Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up.
Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.

Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

A good marriage is at least 80 percent good luck in finding the right person at the right time. The rest is trust.

To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the loving cup, whenever you're wrong admit it; whenever you're right shut up.

Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other who never forgets.

A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.

The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.

Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry.

If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.

Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.It is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.Love never fails.

Infantile love follows the principle: "I love because I am loved."Mature love follows the principle: "I am loved because I love."Immature love says: "I love you because I need you."Mature love says: "I need you because I love you."

Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

Love is a promise; love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.

was it LUST or LOVE…?

This is the continuation from the previous part posted on 06th November 2007.

He got introduced to me once again and shook hands. It wasn’t a quick one this time. He held my palm tight in his fist. I couldn’t believe that it was real. It was hard to express what I felt from within. I was thrilled.

Things started to change in my life bit by bit. I completely fell for him. I adored every single movement he made. Never knew why I treasured him so much despite he had all I disliked in a guy. Yet, I totally gave my entire life to him. Spent happy times and gathered special memories.

I believed he had something special to me, though he never expressed his feelings for me. He showed an extraordinary care for me which got me blinded by into his magic.

I kept hearing rumors about my prince, but never believed them. They were horrible and hard to consider as he was an absolutely different person where I see.

We had a delicate relationship. It grew strong one moment and weak the other. But it never changed what I felt for him a fragment. Sometimes, rage made me feel I hate him more than anything else in this world but inside I felt he is everything for me… It took ages for me to discover the real him. He wasn’t the pleasant guy I thought he was. I was seeing what I only wanted to see. He was one cruel son, whose mother would be ashamed of. His charms kept fooling girls who fell for him. I am one innocent girl who got carried away by the teenage lust and got hurt, while the convict enjoyed every bit of his life. He was a real player who knew how to entrap girls in his charisma. By the time he realizes that he is at fault, it might be too late.

Moral of the story: “You can never change your past but can always try to make a better future by repenting your wrongdoing and never repeating them”.

This is just an imaginary writing! Thanks anonymous for the lovely idea.

Frog Prince

2008-02-01T10:18:00.000+05:00

I’ve read from fairy tales that when a princess kisses a frog, the frog would actually change to a handsome prince. This was one thing I wanted to see if it was true. Once, there were these little toads and frogs near my home in puddles… but they were too slimy and gross I never touched one. One morning, after breakfast my little brother and I were at the door watching these frogs play. He ran to them and took one on his tiny palms. I always wanted to do what ever he does. So, I took one for me too… held it and went inside to show mom that I got a little frog prince. All of a sudden it came into me that I should actually kiss that slimy fellow so that he’d become a real prince! I was just about to kiss it when my little sister came in and screamed… I threw it in alarm. Ran to mom and cried that I was just about to kiss the froggy but now because of her I’m not gonna get the prince! Then my mom told me they are written tales, it’s never gonna happen for real. I felt really sad and kept complaining that it’s my sis’s fault. I actually thought that it would turn real. Sheesh… these fairy tales are so manipulative.

I also used to put tiny froggies in plastic bags and keep them my bath room, and ask mom not to switch the lights off... since they may get scared of the dark! Gosh! How stupid was I?

Hapi Hapi Times....

2007-11-12T18:26:00.000+05:00

It would have occurred in every girl's life that there had been a time she spent with her own little toys and same aged girls. Having tea parties and sleep overs. Showing the real princess she is. There had been plenty of times I had the same. Having our own beauty pageants and winning our crowns over others. They were the most beautiful and most colourful days. No worries just living in an own world. No fear of growing up and facing the different challenges each day. So innocent and carefree. I just wish I still haven't grown up.

But what the crap... its how life is! Looking back the old times makes life more sweeter and memorable... Live life happy!

Wasted Days...

2007-11-06T15:19:00.000+05:00

was it LUST or LOVE…?

This portrayal is based on an idea by one of my buddies…

It was the most beautiful days of my life, my high school days. One ordinary afternoon while I was sitting at the front bench right before the lecturer as I always did, a masculine guy walked in. I froze at his glimpse… was speechless! Briefly introducing… he smiled; I was totally lost into his dreamy eyes, muscular figure and manly posture. Maybe it was the most dramatic moment of my life. The air molecules surrounding me stopped its movement. (Well, this is just a little bit too exaggerating but I’m trying to visualize the scene!) I was taken back to the reality after his magical touch, as he shook hands with me. He was the hottest guy I had ever met till then. The whole day, his face was all over my mind. But, I had my heartbroken that I completely forgot his name. Tried to make out what he said. It sounded pretty familiar, yet had no luck recalling it back.

Days went by. This mystery guy was out of my mind once and for all, as I never met him ever after. Well, at least for the moment, that’s what I thought. “Slightly, he managed to fade away from my delusion”.

School’s annual talent show was the next big event upcoming. It was the night of audition, for the play. I was nervous and as cold as a fish. Butterflies were flying freely all over my tummy. I went off to show my talent hoping that I get selected for the role I was auditioning in our Russian play. While I was waiting for my turn to be auditioned my best pal called me for a chat outside the audition room. I went to him. Two other guys were waiting for me with him. The prince charming that I just ended daydreaming about was right in front of my eyes.

To be continued…

Reflection...

2007-11-05T12:51:00.000+05:00

People are praised with unique blessings. I have my own mirror image that learnt walking, talking, singing, laughing and everything else with me. We rejoice all the happiness and bare all the sorrows as one. At bed time, I read her stories and she reads me poems. Shower time we splash bubble bath at each other… I never had a lonely moment, always have a companion! She’s my shoulder to cry on and I am hers…

Though she's not my real twin, poeple always deemed we are twins, ever since! ...It’s my bliss in disguise...

Thanks sissy for been there for me always. Though I'm elder than you, you've always been the darling who helped me out of all my troubles and given me the most precious advices... Love you loads!

But… have a happy Halloween all you Ghosts, Ghouls, Evil Pirates, Spooky Skeletons, Creepy Witches and the Haunted Vampires out there out for Trick-O-Treat!

Choco Lust...

2007-10-30T18:08:00.000+05:00

I know most of you are huge chocolate fans, just like me. Last Friday at salon, I was flipping pages of a magazine and my eyes got caught on a fascinating piece of writing. It stated that chocolate trumps kissing or so a team of researchers would have made us believe led by neurophysiologist, a study conducted claims that on eating choco, the brain receives a boost for more intense (& even lasts longer) than the effects of kissing. Isn’t it amusing? I found it quite funny…

Daddy's Poem

2007-10-29T08:01:00.000+05:00

This morning I received this lovely poem as an e-mail...

It touched my heart so much, that I wanted to share it with all you buddies.

Hope you all like it as much as I did!

Her hair was up in a pony tail,

her favorite dress tied with a bow.

Today was Daddy's Day at school,

and she couldn't wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her,

that she probably should stay home.

Why the kids might not understand,

if she went to school alone

But she was not afraid;

she knew just what to say.

What to tell her classmates

of why he wasn't there today.

But still her mother worried,

for her to face this day alone.

And that was why once again,

she tried to keep her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school

eager to tell them all.

About a dad she never sees

a dad who never calls.

There were daddies along the wall in back,

for everyone to meet.

Children squirming impatiently,

anxious in their seats.

One by one the teacher called

a student from the class.

To introduce their daddy,

as seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name,

every child turned to stare.

Each of them was searching,

for a man who wasn't there.

"Where's her daddy at?"

she heard a boy call out.

"She probably doesn't have one,"

another student dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back,

she heard a daddy say,

"Looks like another deadbeat dad,
too busy to waste his day."

The words did not offend her,

as she smiled up at her Mom.

And looked back at her teacher,

who told her to go on.

And with hands behind her back,

slowly she began to speak.

And out from the mouth of a child,

came words incredibly unique.

"My Daddy couldn't be here,

because he lives so far away.

But I know he wishes he could be,

since this is such a special day.

And though you cannot meet him,

I wanted you to know.

All about my daddy,

and how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories

he taught me to ride my bike.

He surprised me with pink roses,

and taught me to fly a kite.

We used to share fudge sundaes,

and ice cream in a cone.

And though you cannot see him.

I'm not standing here alone.

"Cause my daddy's always with me,

even though we are apart

I know because he told me,

he'll forever be in my heart".

With that, her little hand reached up,

and lay across her chest.

Feeling her own heartbeat,

beneath her favorite dress.

And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads,

her mother stood in tears.

Proudly watching her daughter,

who was wise beyond her years.

For she stood up for the love

of a man not in her life.

Doing what was best for her,

doing what was right.

And when she dropped her hand back down,

staring straight into the crowd.

She finished with a voice so soft,

but its message clear and loud.

"I love my daddy very much,

he's my shining star.

And if he could, he'd be here,

but heaven's just too far.

You see he was a policeman

and died just this past year

When airplanes hit the towers

and taught Americans to fear.

But sometimes when I close my eyes,

it's like he never went away."

And then she closed her eyes,

and saw him there that day.

And to her mothers amazement,

she witnessed with surprise.

A room full of daddies and children,

all starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them,

who knows what they felt inside.

Perhaps for merely a second,

they saw him at her side.

"I know you're with me Daddy,"

to the silence she called out.

And what happened next made believers,

of those once filled with doubt.

Not one in that room could explain it,

for each of their eyes had been closed.

But there on the desk beside her,

was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,

by the love of her shining star.

And given the gift of believing,

that heaven is never too far.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,

an hour to appreciate them,

a day to love them,
but then an entire life to forget them.

Take the time...to live and love!

Until eternity. God bless!

Challenges…

2007-10-24T13:27:00.000+05:00

Life is all about facing challenges and getting through them! Is it an easy thing? If it was so… then we wouldn’t choose the misery or the dark side of life like they say! Majority of us are forced to choose it, as I know!
When life takes a new bend… victims of this dark life become conscious about the unpleasant past they’ve lived! It’s dreadful to go back to that life… it sure is! Becoming a whole new person yet again takes a lot of guts and effort too!

I’m taking my time on this post for my hugest compassion I could ever give for; just don’t feel terrible about who you’ve been, but be thankful that you are totally a different person today! Be grateful to the world that gave you your life back and face the challenges with confidence! I'm sure you can do it...

Just another day at work. The internet connection is terrible as always. Its taking ages to load into a webpage! …the most disappointing thing… above all, my favourite sites are been blocked! Arrgghh… this is so unfair!!! And the pc is been formatted without even asking me!!! How could they??? Now I don’t have any site I bookmarked… I’m in complete frustration. Just feels like screaming… but will they hear even if I scream the hell out??? Well, folks… got too much to say.

But thank God.. at least I got lucky to update my blog despite this bad connection! So I guess I better keep it quiet!

Pain Killers… Kills Us!

2007-10-21T13:46:00.000+05:00

I experienced some terrible days at the beginning of last year due to awful health conditions. I had been falling ill pretty often. Head trembles and always had stable fever. Most days I got home early from office since had a hard time at work too. No doctor could figure out what was wrong with me. It all happened so suddenly. Things were terrible! One morning, couldn’t eat anything just felt like sleeping, but couldn’t sleep either! I was so distressed. Parents were worried too.

The same evening I left abroad for my treatment. There I had to do lots of tests, one thing I hated most. And above all, taking blood freaks me out! Almost fainted each time they took blood. Reports showed nothing but only a little blood disorder. It sounded so simple than how I had been suffering. For nearly six months I had to do all those tests each month. But they could not diagnose what was the actual cause for this iron deficiency in my blood so instantly!

Later on, I figured out, this is most likely to be caused due to the anesthetics (Not the Panadol) I took three years back. I was at a lot of stress back then. …Studies, extra activities plus other responsibilities at school. So everyday I kept taking two or three tablets of this particular pain killer, as it was handy at home. (Parents never knew I took it). Later, (After two years of continuous intake of it) it was out of stock so I gradually had to give up and that’s when I realized I was actually addicted to it.

Today, I received an e-mail. ...As I read through, I freaked out! I was totally right! Anemia was from the anesthetic I took. So I thought I would share my experience and the particular mail for you all to be aware of! Please try to avoid all sorts of anesthetics!

The mail reads as below!

PANADOL

"My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows some of the doctor quite well. The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they do not take PANADOL PARACETAMOL. In fact, they turn to Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives. This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver. According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for at least 5 years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an incident where an air stewardess consumes a lot of Panadol during her menstrual as she needs to stand all the time.

She's now in her early 30's, and she needs to wash her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month. As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because it is due to the Electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an alternative solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we take 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink (eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking water according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (i.e. one cup 100plus with one cup water or 2 cups water). My husband and I have tried this on several occasions, and it seems to work well. Another method is to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it brings the blood pressure down from your throbbing head. As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain). We all will fall ill as we aged, for woman, we would need to go through childbirth. Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer) when you need to have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of general. If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life (for Migraine, Menstrual cramps, etc.) it is very likely that normal general anesthetic will have no effect on you as your body is pumped full with Panadol and your body is so used to a painkiller that you would need a much stronger painkiller.........like Morphine???? The thought is scary enough to turn me to Herbal Medicine or other healthier alternative. Value your health, value your life, THINK TWICE before you easily pop that familiar pill into your mouth again.

Please don't always take PANADOL."

I deserve better...

2007-10-18T12:59:00.000+05:00

People learn the strategy of life through time. I’ve spent ages trying to figure out what I lack… and how to improve. It is time which taught me that I have to let go of worthless stuff and acquire valuables. But, do I interpret it the way it should be?

…Well, time has not yet taught me how to choose between the diamonds and the stones. I feel like I choose rocks over gems. I believe I deserve better than those decomposed nuggets… eager that time would take its turn and strike it right when I need to choose between a diamond and a stone next time!

Work... wOrk... WoRk!!!

2007-10-16T09:44:00.000+05:00

Its been a while since I could spare sometime with my blog! Have been dealing with a bit more work load than usual.

"Missed You Bloggie..."
I was so glad that a four day break was ahead, so that I can rest more and spend time watching my favourite movies, playing around and all. But to my misfortune, I fell ill! Couldnt spend the long week-end the way I had planned it. The week-end I had been looking forward since the Ramadan began. Eid wasnt fun at all... But atleast, I got to stay at home which is one good thing.

Now today I'm back at work. Dont feel like doing anything. Head is spinning and I'm freezing over here, the room is damn cold. Maybe its all because I could not spend my week-end properly! Maybe because I'm feeling sick and weak. Maybe because I could not get proper rest. All because; there is too much work, too much expectations and too little time! "and yeah... that's my weakness, I expect too high over everything!"

Party give-aways...

2007-09-29T13:09:00.000+05:00

Celebrations are one way that we all can take a time out from our busy schedules and get along together to have a good time with the loved ones. The most popular types of celebrations in our society could be said as parties. Wedding receptions and kid’s birthday parties are all time popular ones among us; though other types of parties are also becoming popular these days. Parties are social gatherings where friends can meet to celebrate the occasion and to have little talks of their own. The partying trend is so high that there would be at least two or three big parties in a week. Everyone would want to throw a bigger and better party than the other, within the family, friends and colleagues. As the tendency of parties is becoming competitive; the competition for catering, clothing and other party supplies i.e. for example gift give-away; also rise.

And we all believe that grand style parties can be thrown with professional assistance…

Wanna Slim down your Tummy?

2007-09-24T12:45:00.003+05:00

In this post, I’ve focused on tummy exercises...

Postural Guidelines for Abdomen Exercises
It is always important to exercise in the proper postural, as this would increase the effectiveness of your workout and also would be less likely to get injured. So, the correct posture should be maintained at all times during the abdominal exercises. Below I’ve jotted some guidelines to improve your posture.

1. Lay down on your head parallel to the ground and centered over your shoulders.

2. Bring your chest up.

3. As you bring your chest up, your shoulders must relax and not go up. Thus, relax your shoulders down and back.

4. Tighten your abs by pulling your belly button to your spine.

5. Align your knees with your second and third toes.

6. Keep your knees soft, and unlocked. There must always be a slight bend in them.

7. Lay with your feet spaced (usually hip width).

Muscles targeted
Upper abdominal

Starting position
Lie on the floor with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor. Do not pull from your arms; keep your focus on your abdominal muscles. Rest your hands on the back of your head or rest them on your thighs. Keep in mind; this is an abdominal crunch not a sit up.

Movement
Lift your head off the floor and pull in your tummy muscles as you curl your upper body forwards. Don't pull on your neck when you come up. Your lower back should remain flat on the ground at all times. Under control, lower your weight, stop just before your shoulders touch the ground and reverse the motion back up.
Do this 5 times. You can gradually build up to 20 with practice.

Cosmetic Foundations, Foundation Powders, and Other Face Make Up

2007-09-14T23:01:00.000+05:00

Cosmetic foundations such as powders and liquid foundation are used to create a clear, smooth skin tone - the illusion of seemingly flawless skin texture that will last as long as you desire. Foundations provide the perfect base for the application of the rest of your make up products.
Face make up is meant to provide light to medium skin coverage and comes in a wide variety of colors and types. You may want to use the lightest covering during the summer and the heavier one during the winter.

Pick a Color that Matches Your Skin Tone

It is also important to choose cosmetic foundations that looks natural (closely matches your coloring) and fits the desired effect you are seeking. You may require a separate concealer for skin blemishes, blotches, under eye dark rings and other discolorations.
Foundation should be applied to the skin first, before any other make up product, since other products may not blend as well to the naked skin and may even make blemishes and flaws look more pronounce.
Cosmetic foundations may be water-based, oil-based or oil-free, with varied consistencies and coverage, and are available in liquid, cream or powder form.

Loose Powder Cosmetic Foundations

Powder adds the finishing touch to your foundation and keeps you looking fresh throughout the day. Powder can be used on its own to look natural. Be careful not to use too much powder, especially around the eyes where the excess powder can settle into the fine lines.
Powder based cosmetic foundations have the function of combining both foundation and powder in one product. It 'sets' your foundation to make it last, it adds a matte finish to the skin that looks fresh, makes the skin seem finer by making the pores seem smaller. You will only need concealer in addition to this rather that setting the foundation with powder.
Generally, moist products are applied first and other powders follow. But when you use powder foundation, you apply the concealer first. Then, using a latex sponge spread the foundation across the whole face including eyelids, but not the lips.

Things to Think about...

2007-09-14T11:20:00.000+05:00

Anger is a condition in which, the tongue works faster than the mind .

You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future!

Love...and you shall be loved.

God always gives his best to those who leave the choice with him.

All people smile in the same language.

Everyone needs to be loved... especially when they do not deserve it.

The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity.

Laughter is God's sunshine.

Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it.

It's important for parents to live the same things they teach.

Thank God for what you have, TRUST GOD for what you need.

If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.

Man looks at outward appearance but the Lord looks within.

The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow.

Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul.

Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together.

Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.

To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.

We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for.

Love is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished.

Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others.

For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back.

Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are.

Folks, it has been a trend to renovate homes for Ramadan in Maldives. It is a great feeling when home interior is been renovated, especially for this holy month. When it becomes a month or less for ramadan, people get hectic and renovation begins. Those popular shopping malls would be over crowded! I hate to go for ramadan shopping, there wont be any room for air even! But love it when home is been renewed. Enjoy painting and especially love the smell after its been painted. There'll be a very roadhamas smell! I'm already getting the smell here! Hehe... LOL! Anyways, have a good time renovating... and enjoy the ramadan! Happy Ramadan!

Ailurophobia - the fear of cats

2007-09-12T13:52:00.000+05:00

Paw AND Hidey

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Its surprising that a lot of people loves and admires cats, thus domesticating them in our residents are very common. Since a kid I've always had the fear of cats. I used to sense cats from far distants and it freaks me out. I tried many ways to get the fear out of me, as it became extremely humiliating to get afraid to the slight of that tiny creature, out at the public. Unfortunately non worked out! Conversely, my little brother admires cats alot. He once brought in a two day old kitten (Angel) which was on our roof top and I was having nightmares and had a hard time. Unfortunately or maybe to my fortune; it passed away four days later. I felt sad and sorry for that poor little thing but then felt happy that it is no more living at my place. After sometime, its siblings (Paw and Hidey) started playing on the roof. This time my brother kept feeding the fellows but didnt bring them in as mom didnt like bringing cats in home. I deliberately want to get rid of the Ailurophobia so i started watching them play and eat. Now I can watch them from distant but still it is freaky to see them nearby and to see one suddenly. But I'm happy that the fear has faded even a bit. And I've learned that all it takes is courage to get rid of something!

Ramadan Mubarak

2007-09-12T12:18:00.000+05:00

The ninth month of Hijri Calendar is just about to begin. Moon was commenced last night at Islamic Centre and declared that Ramadan begins tomorrow; 13th September 2007. Ramadan means intense heat and scorched ground and shortness of rations, in Arabic. As we all know it is the month where Quran was revealed, which provides us guidance, clear teachings, and the statute book. This month is considered the most venerated, blessed and spiritually-beneficial; as prayers, fasting, charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time.

Childhood Fantasy

2007-09-05T12:14:00.000+05:00

Fairy Lands and Godparents are a part of every girls life. As a kid I’ve always been guarded by these fairies and godparents. It seemed to be the real world to me then. Whenever I slept earlier I used to get a gift; maybe a chocolate, a story book or a doll by the Fairy Godmother. If I keep my fallen tooth under my pillow I used to get gifts from the tooth fairy and if I score good grades in exams I get gifts from the fairies again. This was a seemingly competitive thing to get the gifts from the Fairy Land. I used to sleep earlier than my other siblings, as I loved winning more gifts! I hung little Fairies around me by the bed so that they would be guarding me all through the night… However, after sometime, as I grew up I found out that all those gifts werent from the Fairy Land but from the world I live in. And those werent sent by the Godmothers or Fairies but by my beloved parents. Then I came to realise that all that was a Fantasy and that own parents can never be replaced. They were the ones who guarded me and protected me all the time through. There never existed a Fairy Land who sents Fairies to guard the children.

…But though, I still love going back in time and thinking about my childhood fantasies…
