Is Jessica Simpson really a dumb girl?
Or she just plays it dumb?
Does she think that her dumbness (if she really is dumb) sells?

Happy Birthday, You're Aging Now

Me: Your birthday is coming
Friend: I know! Don't remind me of that! Gosh, I'm old!!!
Me: What's so wrong with getting old?
A lot of people always remark this, 'gosh I'm old' just because the numbers of their age have changed. X + 1 = OLD. A dreadful formula. I don't think there's any wrong with being old and aging. It's a process everybody must go through in her life. But nowadays, in our society, the word 'aging' is such a dread for them. I know lots of people hate to see those wrinkles on their face, but why don't you let those anti-wrinkle creams produced by those giant cosmetic companies do their job, although, to tell you the truth, they can't really erase your wrinkles and that means they can't really erase your worries either. Let's talk about the fear that even anti-wrinkle creams can't solve it for you. The fact that you, despite all those creams, will get old, someday. The fact of seeing that wrinkles scares you, so you run for botox, because you think it can help you. You run away from the fact that everybody gets old as years go by.
Isn't it such a vain, to run away from reality, to think that botox can save you? (your age) + 1 is not about looking less attactive because of the wrinkles you have, it's about being mature, loving the the ups and downs in your life and most of all being the real person you want to be. I don't know about other people, but I myself always think that the best that you can do in dealing with this is to age gracefully. I guess I don't have that much vanity. As Nicole Kidman said about her turning 40 in a few years,"You can fight things in life, or you can move into them with grace."
Finally, after giving him a session full of yapping, he gave in and said : I promise to age gracefully.
And he turns 23 today. Happy birthday, you're aging now. Enjoy!

Does she look like...someone you know?

I often heard this from someone I've just met.
"I have a classmate who looks like u..sure u're not in my school?"
"You know, you look like someone I know..."
"Gosh, you look just like my friend!"
"Are you one of my students? I got one who looks just like you."
"I think we've met before. Your face looks familiar to me."
I swear, I often heard it from people that it made me wonder 'Do you? Does she? What does she lool like, actually?" cos I'd like to know. First, you might thought that it was some pick up lines to break the ice so that converstation can go smooth, but I often heard it from women.... I've heard it more than 20 times and it still surprises me!
I wonder if there's really someone who looks just like you. And what would you do if one day you bump into each other...wouldn't it be weird? But, if it ever happens to me at least it has proven the words people always say to me...that there is someone who looks just like me, and I, this 'someone else's twin' would be glad to meet someone who looks just like her, other than her own sister.
Just a curiosity. *wink*

Hi-Fi

Some women take pleasure in having affairs with someone else's husbands and (good grief!) they still proud of it. I will only discuss about the women, because I can never know the exact reason a husband can be unfaithful to his wife. Perhaps men know the reason why husbands cheat on their wifes, and women can only guess. So, back to the topic, some women are proud of it, as if they had won some competition to know who's good and who's not. But why must some proud of it? And why some still want to tell the wife about it? And in the end, if a wife has to encounter such situation, would she give her family up? God only knows whether the woman tells lies or the truth.
There is a story that Marilyn Monroe once called Mrs. Kennedy in the White House to tell her she was having an affair with the president. Supposedly Marilyn asked what Jackie thought about the possibility of Marilyn marrying Kennedy, and the response was: "Marilyn, you'll marry Jack, that's great, and you'll move into the White House and you'll assume the responsibilities of first lady, and I'll move out and you'll have all the problems." And this is what Victoria Beckham said when she found out that her former beauty therapist told the media that she slept with her husband twice when Vic left to England : "I'm going to destroy that ugly, lying cow for what she’s done to me and my family. I’m sick and tired of people trying to make money out of us. That girl is going to get what’s coming to her – I’ll bring her down." I'll bring her down? That's what she calls GIRL POWER =p
Their reactions may differ, but I know they all want for the same thing.

It takes a strong woman to save her marriage & her family.
