Suspend-It

As I was walking around in the hospital watching over my sick aunt, I couldn’t help but notice how simple their kitchen blinds were, yet still so pleasing to the eye.

I’ve always loved hospitals, they have such a quiet and simple feel to them. Everyone is usually so quiet and reserved, and everything is neat and organized. (Who would want to check in a hospital that’s dirty and in a huge mess, anyway, right?)

You can blame my mild OCD for loving things like this, I guess. I’ve always thought that my dream house would be modern and minimal one day, it would be easy to maintain, but still beautiful, in it’s own way.

I guess people fear hospitals for the fact that some treatments are painful, and the thought of death threatens them, but I just choose to see things from a different point of view. It’s actually good for the health not to stress yourself too much.

Ever since we were kids, young, youthful and naive, my cousin has always dreamed about being a doctor. She’d play house with us with fake stethoscopes and pretend she can hear our heartbeats, and tell us we’re sick, giving us orange juice and prescribing chocolate once a day.

I found it amazing that at such a young age she has been able to decide what kind of future she wanted. When I was about to enter college I had a hard time choosing what course I should take up, simply because I couldn’t make up my mind. Right now she is preparing for her board exam, and I wish her luck.

She told me she wanted an administration job because she wanted to work for the government and serve people. She actually chose to help people over money, and this still amazes me to this very moment.

Knowing the fact that medicine is quite an expensive road to trek in our world, and most people who take that up find themselves shifting to nursing simply because it is more convenient just saddens me. My cousin told me that thought never crossed her mind, and this inspired me more.

I just cross my fingers that she achieve her lifelong dream with great success and happiness.

Being the paranoid person that I am, traveling isn’t such a great idea. I don’t exactly know why, but for some reason, this doesn’t stop my need to visit places far from home and to explore different cultures.

Most of the time while I travel, the only thing that hinders me is the thought of you might like to call “a travel emergency“. Not only am I paranoid, I am also quite sickly, and this isn’t really such a great combination.

I tend to get sick because of the things I eat, and I’m pretty clumsy, so clumsy that at one point I broke a bone from hitting an inanimate object. Sad, isn’t it? I actually got used to it, so I try to be more careful nowadays.

This goes to show that nothing can stop you from doing things you really love.

I read somewhere that it is your feet that take you traveling to all the beautiful places inthe world, and thus, you should choose only the best and comfortable footwear for them.Borrowing from this thought, I believe it is your bag that holds the most important thingsfor you at any given moment – it could be your ID, your toiletries, important documents, oranything.Whatever it is, you bring these items because they are important to you at thattime.So be it luggage for travel clothes and other travel essentials, briefcases for work-related papers, school bags for your school books and school work and more, bags are a practicalnecessity for daily life. Which may be why I am uncomfortable going out with no bag, almost feeling naked without one. Bags are not a vanity for me, nor do I collect bags, but Ido have bags with specific functions – a few for daily use and a few for travel.Come to think of it, I think I need a new bag for my new Netbook. Hmm… I think I’ll do some shopping right now!

Have you ever been a kid who never cared about the way she looked just as long as she was comfortable?

I’ve always been that way since I was young, and I can say that it wasn’t so bad. After a few years of going out wearing nothing but jeans, sneakers and a shirt, I got bored of it and discovered that girly clothes and shoes aren’t necessarily uncomfortable as long as you don’t buy cheap and poor quality ones.

I started wearing cardigan sweaters and pumps, and I can say many people have complimented me on how I look. Not only did I feel pretty, my ego also had a huge boost! Nothing really feels better than knowing you’re out there looking your best.

A little makeup won’t hurt, and wearing dresses make you more attractive! Trust me, this is based from personal experience.

I recently saw a Scott Pilgrim music video that showed a couple of scenes from the said movie that was yet to be released.

All I can say is, Ramona Flowers’ binoculars are quite awesome, I didn’t think anyone could pull off a look like that.

I don’t think the way she dyes her hair is quite impractical though. I saw her have about three different hair colors. I know this is only a movie and that she’s most likely using wigs, but it got me to thinking how naive I was when I was in college. I wanted to dye my hair blonde, leave it be for three weeks, then dye my hair red for it to be bright.

I realized my hair right now is fine, and it would cost me a lot to maintain that hair color and keep my hair healthy, so such a decision is not only impractical, but also inconvenient.

I am an iPhone lover but not that big of an iPad fan. I am amazed though of the cool ipad accessories available in the market like the ipad keyboard, skins, and stands. Right now I have a tablet PC already so I will not be getting an ipad anytime soon.
Anyway, when buying ipad accessories, make sure you get the branded ones and not those generic brands. I have a friend who had his ipad sent back to Apple because it was not able to turn on after he installed a generic keyboard. Good thing it was still in warranty, however he will not be getting his data and apps back with the replacement.
It is true that branded ipad accessories
cost more but this is because of the good quality of the materials used. More so, usually manufacturers of branded accessories get certifications from Apple itself so you will not have to worry about compatibility issues. Just as an advice, if you love your iPad, get only original stuff for it.

I have recently been quite addicted to playing The Sims 3 for the fact that I can make beautiful houses in it.

Most of my dream homes can now be found in my town, thank god for mods!

This game not only is enjoyable, but it also helps you exercise creativity and to help you budget time!

As I was buying furniture from my home one day, I couldn’t help but notice how the faucet looking like one of the Moen kitchen faucets. It really is amazing how these pixels resemble real life objects.

Always remember that real life is a lot better than simulation, though! That probably is one of the things most people who play this game forget often.

This is definitely a game I would recommend anyone who enjoys making things to play.

I have been very interested in fashion since I was a teenager, and I can say that I love DIY stuff most.

Not only are they original, this means that you would be the only one who has them! Being unique has never even felt this good before.

Most of my friends ask me where I bought my stuff, and they stare at me incredulously when I tell them I made them myself.

I just buy jewelry making supplies and clothes from thrift shops, and voila! Instant makeover!

Just make sure you actually know what you’re doing, pins and needles hurt when they are not handled properly! If you have no clue, try asking a friend who knows. Google is also your best friend, don’t ever forget that!

This can save you from spending a lot of money without having to sacrifice looking cheap and being able to express yourself.

My sister just got married last February, and I just couldn’t stop myself from thinking about grandkids.

Imagine how down I felt when she told me that she and her husband don’t have plans to take care of a kid anytime soon.

I just couldn’t stop myself from thinking how adorable kids are, and how I’d like to just squeeze their chubby little cheeks until they’re all red and even cuter.

I think I fell in love with BOB revolution strollers. They’re just so handy and practical. They make outdoor activities even easier since you can put so much stuff inside them instead of carrying over nine thousand bags while walking a rocky terrain.

I have also heard many good things about this stroller. My friends told me that this is one of the good quality ones, and that it’s worth all your money.

This definitely is one thing all the outdoor freaks and parents out there would love.
