Hotels in Europe

So my mum's back from Eastern Europe. I wonder what the hotels were like over there on the "east" of Europe. I know that there were lots of good things said about hotels in West Europe - especially Hotels in Berlin but that's not to say there were bad hotels in the East! They were all at least 3-4 star hotels included in the tour package, with really boring repetitive meal plans!

I'm not entirely sure if Austria is considered West-Central like Germany or if it's more towards to East of Europe, does anybody know? I guess it doesn't matter when you have gorgeous Hotels in Vienna! There are lots of interesting attractions to behold in both Germany and Austria - anybody thinking Salzburg?!

Come on, going to the places where the Sound of Music was shot/originally took place? Imagine staying in one of those fancy Hotels in Vienna and then going out on the streets that Mozart once walked?!

I know my mum took a trip to the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, which is in the South of Poland, near Kraków and Warsaw - she said it was eerie seeing all the shoes of the people who died, and their hair, and learning the history. *shudders* Good thing there's much more pleasant attractions just a step away where you can stay at Hotels in Berlin and amuse yourself by saying "Ich bin ein Berliner" - no, he didn't say he was a donut, you silly duffers!

Anyway, I am highly regretting never having seen Europe yet. I plan to change all that in the next 5 years at the very least. Europe and certain parts of Africa, here I come!

Digital frames

So for a while now I've had a real hankering to get a fancy digital picture frame. You know the type - essentially a photo frame but with an LCD screen? You usually slot a thumbdrive or memory card into it and it'll go through the pictures on the disk in the form of a slideshow.

No more pesky photo frames cluttering your mantle! I love digital frames. I was looking at some products and this one really caught my eye - a 7" digital photo frame - Click for product. The 10" photo frames aren't too shabby either.


I think these would make the perfect gift for anybody come Christmas time - just imagine the lack of hassle when it comes to 'changing photos' - all you have to do is remove the card, change up or add on, then slip it back in! Voila! The best part is that they're so affordable nowadays. Some of you should definitely get out there and buy me one or seven digital frames. ;)

Getting paid to blog

Lots of people have asked again and again what I do now that I'm free and unemployed (by choice, mind you) - well it's simple. I blog for money! Yes, in a way I have sold out, but I'm not exploiting my services. I merely offer them. Surely there's a difference! Fine line perhaps, but still a line exists!

I digress. Some have asked where or how I get affiliated with blog advertising, well one of the places I would recommend is Smorty. You should definitely give it a try - it's really easy to navigate for both bloggers and advertisers. Jobs are in abundance and everything is laid out for you to plainly see - you don't have to keep jumping through hoops just to see when you'll be paid!

Getting paid to blog has never been this easy, especially in this day and age. Smorty definitely offers one of the best services for those eager to get paid and those eager to advertise on blogs. So drop on by and join the Smorty family! :D And stop bugging me for resources!! ;)

Going about Australia.. again

It's inevitable. So many people I know are either already in Australia or plan to head over there. Why? WHY? WHY?! I can't be selfish, I don't own the country.. but dammit.. the whole point of running away from these people is to not actually be anywhere near them! I guess I can't really blame them, after all.. there are so many great things to attract a person to Australia. Each state and territory has so much to offer, each offering something significantly different.

We have Sydney, my future home, where you have a breathtaking harbour with its crazy ass bridge and weirdly shaped Opera House. In addition to that, you have the amazingly old and dirty CBD that just feels... like home (at least to me). Everything from the gorgeous Hyde Park to Centrepoint Tower, it's just the place to be. Not to mention, I have had my fair share of staying in Hotels in Sydney, the Menzies being one of them. Very old, very swank, VERY VERY nice. :>

There are two states I haven't been to that most people usually go to FIRST - Victoria and Queensland. Yes, I have yet to brave the 'wonder' that is Melbourne culture, food and shopping. As if I really need anything so 'fast paced' right now - but I wouldn't mind checking out one of the Hotels in Melbourne sometime. Maybe even Crown, try my luck at some roulette. Or Keno.

Then there's the Gold Coast.. or Brisbane really. I would rather visit the Coast because I have a friend who lives near it, but I would have to probably go through Brisbane sooner or later while I'm at it, and try one of the Hotels in Brisbane as well. After that, I'll move on to the Coast to check out the surfers, the 'worlds' and that row of shops that smells like medicine or KFC - I don't remember how the story goes.

All in all, there's still a lot more adventure that lies ahead of me, and that's just ONE country! *eyes Europe* You're next, mister!

Moving in, moving out!

All this talk about moving in, moving out, moving away .. looking at rental lists and places to buy. It's all extremely stressful, especially when you can't actually physically be there to check out the houses! Or even better, do things YOURSELF! It's terrible depending on someone else and constantly waiting for them to do something for you, for themselves, for any reason at all!

Always wait wait wait wait wait wait. By the time I get to be a home owner I'll probably be living in one of the 55+ communities for the elderly or something! Hmph! A retirement village for 'active seniors' doesn't sound so bad, but at this rate I wonder if I'll even make it that far!!!!

Everyday it gets worse, this dreadful feeling of helplessness and boredom. Irritation and a lack of beauty surrounding me. Guhhh! I want to just move already! So I can start my life! I am so sick of people who HAVE lives and aren't doing anything about it! *spouts various obscenities*

Happy Indie Day!

Before I forget, Happy Belated Merdeka to all you Malaysians who are actually dumb enough to be proud of where we are today. HA HA HA HA! Good one, suckers. How effing blind are you?

I guess, you could say, ignorance is bliss - but in this case, ignorance could kill you. Not so blissful anymore, are we?! So over the bullshit attitude some people have when they think they're taking the high road by interracial. Y'see, there's nothing wrong with interracial dating - but why do you have to point it out every time you do it?

Are you trying to make a point? Have people acknowledge that you're 'special' or 'nice' or 'politically correct'? Why do you even notice your partner's race? Isn't that the whole point of anti-racism? To NOT notice a person's racial background?!

Are you purposely dating a person of a different race to prove a point? If so, you should go kill yourself for being such a fucking disgusting excuse of a human being. While I'm on it - people who point out interracial couples are worse than those who purposely date inter racially to improve their image. If only the world truly were fair - then the people you date wouldn't have to be subjugated to a people like you!

Inspirational Blog

I know of people who could use some inspiration - but they're too cheap to buy self help tapes and books, or too busy to watch the film adaptations of said books!! Well, I stumbled across some online inspirational blogs, and one in particular caught my eye - Karl's blog.

This blog is by an individual named Karl Moore and he basically posts inspirational messages everyday. I think this is a great idea and definitely not difficult for a person to look at at least once a week! After all, most of us spend all our time online, so why not add one more web page to your daily reads?!

It doesn't hurt, for you ladies and certain men, that Karl is kinda cute:




Look at that smile! If that's not an inspired happy person, show me someone who is! Anyway, be sure to check out Karl's blog and send your friends to do the same! Everybody could use a little boost in their day!

Totally buggened

I can't believe that after helping one dog with a medical ailment, the other one gets sick! How ridiculous is that?! We're not even sure what's wrong with the dumb bitch! :P

She seems to have missing patches of fur and her skin looks really red, plus she's been limping and licking her paws. (Her paws are where it's red and stuff) She's also been scratching her neck a lot.

I hope she didn't catch something from the other dog, who recently had a problem with her eyes. No more running outside for these mutts! Goodness only knows what they might have caught from other dogs!!!! ARGH!!!!!
