What's your Blogging Personality

I got this test from Metz. Thanks for sharing the link Metz.. I love it!

ESTP – The Doers

The active and play-ful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

Vaio Dreams

When I was looking out to buy my laptop that I actually named Miss Fly (in case you don’t already know), I went through a period of time dreaming of owning a Sony Vaio. Not just any Vaio but the one of those coloured series. My dream was the RED one because I just love red on anything!

But alas, after going through a fibroid surgery that cost us more than RM9,000, I compensated and went with Miss Fly instead. A modest middle range cost laptop that I absolutely adore now.

Oh well, a girl can dream right?

Music Monday - Meet Me In Montana

I just love this country song from Marie Osmond and Dan Seals! Enjoy!!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kATuoVJU9Hs&hl=en&fs=1]

***Lyrics:

Dan:
Wrote my whole life down in an old book,
Songs about you and me.
Been singing to every soul in Tennessee.
Nobody seems to listen,
No one ever smiles the way that you do.
So I guess you never hear me on the radio,
And I’d give up this crazy dream of mine to hold you once more.

Won’t you meet me in Montana.
I wanna see the mountains in your eyes.
Woah, woah, I had all of this life I can handle.
Meet me underneath that big Montana sky.

Marie:
I left home for Hollywood.
Lookin’ for a part to play.
Well you always said I had such a pretty face.
But, I guess I’m not that pretty,
‘Cause no one looks at me the way you do.
Well you’ll always be a movie star to me.
Darlin’ now I guess it’s time that I let go of that dream.

Both:
Won’t you meet me in Montana
I wanna see the mountains your eyes.
Woah, Woah I had all of this life I can handle
Meet me underneath that big Montana sky.

Well were stuck here in these hills that they call mountains.

Darlin’ back home in your arms is right where I want to be.

Won’t you meet me in Montana
I wanna see the mountains your eyes.
Woah, Woah I had all of this life I can handle
Meet me underneath that big Montana sky.

In Montana.
I wanna see the mountains in your eyes.
Woah, woah, I had all of this life that I can handle.
Meet me underneath that big Montana sky.

Me, The Gamer

When I have free time on my hands, one thing that always do is play computer games 🙂 Be it strategy based games like Pharaoh or Caesar III or simply something to relax the mind like testris or pipes.

I’ve never played anything on the xbox 360 before but from what I heard it has some pretty awesome games that you can play on it. Anyone can confirm this?

Cheerio…

I Missed It So

One of my roles and responsibilities that I really enjoyed while working was to organize off-site events. For one, such events are great because we get to go out of the office environment and interact with one another in a more casual surrounding. It also enables us to relax and get updated with the company’s development and directions. And best of all, it also gives us an opportunity to let our hair down and get wild 🙂

The role, however, was a challenging one. Every quarter I would source out for new venues and locations to hold the offsite events. We only look for top-notch places with fully equipped conference rooms and break-out room because after the main meeting, the groups are split up according to job scope. So the consultants would converge in one room and the administrative team would break out into another room. The food must also be superb as I was dealing with people who are used to the best things in life.

If that is not headache enough, the logistics to bring the staff back from wherever they were could give me migraine. I once had to call several New York Bus Charters company from Singapore because I had to make sure the staff who were working on a case there. get to the airport on time to make it for the offsite event! Phew! Lucky that went off without a glitch.

Whatever it is… I missed my working life. I know working from home has all the benefits and what not but I missed it nonetheless…

The Darn Thing Won't Fit

Still on the subject of weight and how Azwaj can fit into those seemingly tight jeans, I took out my old pair today. One that I bought on our Langkawi trip five years ago. I know, I know.. it may be too ambitious and I may be disappointed but then again Azwaj did fit into his!

I wriggled into it inch by inch. Ok.. at least the thighs still fit.. Now, jeans are meant to be worn tight right?Ok.. After further wriggly it reached my waist..phew.. now let’s see if I can zip it! It’s a tight squeeze. I’m holding my breath.. nope didn’t work…Hmm..Perhaps if I lie down on the bed.. Ok ..lying down.. and still holding my breath…Sigh….

Darn it! I give up.. I may have found my collar bones this morning as I’ve mentioned in my woman blog but those diet pills are sure tempting right about now!

Cheerio…

Why I Fainted That Day.

When I came back from Singapore the other day, I found lots of Azwaj’s jeans on the bed. I thought he was just spring cleaning his wardrobe while I was gone and thought nothing of it. I put it to one side and even forgot to ask or mention it to him.

Then yesterday, I saw a pair of jeans that he has not worn for some time on the bed. Obviously he was planning to wear it for the day. I asked him…

LJ : Darling, can you still fit into that pair? It’s been a while and it looks so small and tight.
A : Oh I’m wearing it for the second time today. I already wore it for My Evo Fest that day and it fits just fine!

“Thud!”

That was the sound of LJ fainting and dropping to the floor.

Oh my… I really need to get the best diet pill available like..NOW!

Music Monday - I've Never Been To Me by Charlene

Remember this song?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQtXYYMIzw&hl=en&fs=1]

***Lyrics:

Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
you’re a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I `ve no doubt
you dream about the things you never do
but I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you

Oh, I’ve been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me…

Please lady please lady
don’t just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you
why I’m all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won’t you share a part
of a weary heart that has lived a million lives

Oh, I’ve been to Niece and the isle of Greece
when I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed them what I’ve got
I’ve been undressed by kings
and I’ve seen some things that a woman ain’t s’pose to see
I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me…

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It’s a lie
a fantasy we created about people and places
as we like them to be
but you know what truth is?
it’s that little baby you’re holding
and it’s that man you fought with this morning
the same one you are gonna make love to tonight
that’s truth that’s love

Sometimes I’ve been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I’d be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free
hey lady I’ve been to paradise
but I’ve never been to me…

I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me…

When Do You Clean Your House?

Azwaj thinks that I’m weird in that I prefer to clean the apartment when he’s not at home. I don’t know why I do that but I know I feel good when I do it. I get so lazy when he’s around. Though I still vacuum the floor daily, I only mop the floor and do the laundry when he’s not at home or when he’s asleep. I feel good when he comes home or wakes up to a spic and span apartment and goes “Ah the house is so clean darling!” I know! I’m weird!

Anyone else does that?

However, I can’t help but think sometimes, wouldn’t it be nice if we have a nice maid that comes in daily like those hotels or vacation rentals unit have and I can come home instead and say the exact same thing?.. LOL!.. Here’s wishing….

Cheerio…

Second Place Is Not Bad

I was googling for the word “ladyjava” today.. just for fun.. and also because I needed an ego booster. Don’t ask me why though.. I just do 🙂

Anyway, guess what! The search result on the whole first page was all ME ME ME. Talk about an ego booter… LOL! It was me at MBL. Me at Technorati. Me at Twitter and Me at Blog Catalog. Well, all except for the last one, that is, and I swear I don’t know who she is. It was a nickname for someone at a forum and she refers to herself as “Java, a silly girl from California USA, who enjoys the game Poxnora”. LOL! Definitely NOT me!

While checking out the link one at time, one question came to mind. How come this blog was on second place and where is my LadyJava’s Lounge? How come LJL was only mentioned on the second page when in actual fact, it has more traffic and hits then LLP? So I did another search using yahoo this time and although it’s not on the first place, at least it’s on the top three. This blog is listed as the top two. I’m really confused now!

Perhaps I should hire a SEO master like Boston SEO to come and explain this to me.

Anyway it’s kind of fun to see a whole page of ME..LOL.. Have you googled or yahoo yourself lately?

Cheerio…

Me and My Gadgets

You know sometimes I wonder what and where I will be without my wonderful gadgets. Gadgets meaning my laptops, cell phones and digital cameras.

I remember thinking that cell phone will be the bane of my existence because people, and by that I mean my bosses, would be able to reach me 24/7. Now I never leave home without it.

To me computers were only meant to play games with. In reality now, I’m earning through being online.

And cameras, well, I didn’t even take photograph much growing up and cost of developing photos were already so expensive Now I take pictures of my kitties like there is no tomorrow! LOL!

Yeah, where would I be without my gadgets?

Cheerio…

Move No Move?

Last weekend, we again went on our house hunting. By the tone of this entry, I’m sure you figured out that it did not go too well. All the nice looking ones were for sale and the dowdy looking ones.. well.. I’m guessing no one wanted them as well.

Oh you remember the talk I had with my neighbour the other day? Well it seems that the young lady that was raped and roped for a RM4 fake gold chain was actually an old lady! What is the world coming to??

Anyways, I don’t think I would be needing any movers New York or movers KL any time soon. But we are still looking.

Music Monday - From This Moment (Shania Twain)

I just love this romantic love.. and I’m in a love mood..hehehe

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QznmPsdvizs]

Shania Twain – From this Moment On

***Lyrics:

(I do swear that I’ll always be there. I’d give anything and everything and I
will always care. through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for
better, for worse, I will love you with every beat of my heart.)

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I’d give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can’t wait to live my life with you
Can’t wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
From this moment on

You’re the reason I believe in love
And you’re the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
From this moment-
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

Living in Dangerous Times

On our way out today, we bumped into our neighbour. Boy, does she have a stories to tell us. It seems there are some crime going on around our condo building. There was a young lady that was held at knife point and robbed in broad daylight and then there was another teenager that was held also at knife point for a fake gold bracelet worth RM4! She was also “guided” to the secluded area and raped!

And you know what? We were actually thinking of moving into that area. Scrap that idea!

Well we are still looking. Not many houses on rent now. Most are for sale and most agents don’t want to entertain rental cases.. Perhaps coz the commission is pitiful? Oh well.. the search is still on 🙂

Perhaps I Need Some Progesterone

I stumbled upon this website on the a progesterone creme but what was interesting read at the site was how progesterone and estrogen affects the woman’s body. Very interesting I might add. For example, do you know that the progesterone creme can actually helps you relieve and control symptoms of PMS caused by too much estrogen in your body? Too much estrogen would also cause low libido! Scary!!

Anyway, here’s a list of how too much estrogen can affect the woman’s body:

ESTROGEN	PROGESTERONE
Causes breast fibrocycts	Protects against breast fibrocycts
Increases body fat	Helps use fat for energy
Salt & fluid retention	Natural Diuretic
Depression and headaches	Natural anti-depressant
Impairs blood sugar control	Normalizes blood sugar levels
Increased blood clotting	Normalizes blood clotting
Decreases libido	Increases libido
Reduced oxygen levels in all cells	Restores proper cell oxygen levels
Causes endometrical cancer	Prevents endometrical cancer
Increases risk of breast cancer	Helps prevent breast cancer
Reduces vascular tone	Improves vascular tone

Hm.. perhaps I need to speak to my gynae about this soon.

Ouch! I've Pulled a Muscle

I was just doing the laundry yesterday when just as I was reaching out for one piece of item from the base of the washing machine, I could feel a muscle from my shoulder blade pull. Ouch!!!

Thank God for great home office furniture, I was still able to finish my blog makeover job last night. Otherwise, with an absent A, I would have called in an early night yesterday!

Music Monday - Always by Atlantic Stars

Speaking of karaoke, here’s another song that I always duet with one of my colleagues back in Singapore..

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTF97_ve118&hl=en&fs=1]

*** Lyrics ***
Girl you are to me
All that a woman should be
And I dedicate my life to you, always
A love like yours is rare
It must have been sent from up above
And I know you’ll stay this way for, always

BRIDGE
And we both know
That our love will grow
And forever, it will be
You and me

CHORUS

Ooh, you’re like the sun
Chasing all the rain away
When you come around
You bring brighter days

You’re the perfect one
For me, and you forever will be
And I will love you so for, always
Come with me my sweet
Let’s go make a family
And they will bring us joy for always
Oh boy I love you so
Can’t find enough ways to let you know
But you can be sure I’m yours, for always

BRIDGE(REPEAT)

CHORUS (REPEAT)
