Transforming your fears

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.

Uncle's food

Every time we went to Grandma's place my uncle would spoil us with our favorite food, Tofu for me and pork belly for Dani. My uncle is too modest to have this photo on his Facebook, so I'll put it up on my blog instead :)

ASK SAM - from THE AGE 18 Aug 2010

Brad Pitt calls himself Mister Mom. My male friend has more beauty products than the pampering section of David Jones. And more blokes are exfoliating, waxing and carrying around manbags than we'd like to know about.

No wonder the single women are complaining. "I just want a manly man!" is a common cry I've recently been hearing from frustrated women who are wondering what the hell happened to the hairy-chested, sports-playing, beer-sculling blokes of the world.....

Scams

It is no news that the internet is full of scam, sites that want your credit card number for stuff you don't need are the ones to watch out for. They are certainly getting more and more sophisticated. I've been surfing the net since 1997s and this is the best one that I have come across so far: www.bidfun.com.au. The deals are too good to be true, and one can spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on buying "bidding dollars" - while the company pockets all your hard earn cash.

Last week I also received an e-mail from a friend's hotmail account, stating he got a new Apple ibook from a website, it's much cheaper and it's genuine.. blah blah blah. It was so real that I e-mail the friend back and say I must have a look at his new toy soon, only to find out it was a scam! His account probably got hacked.

Just watch out guys. For more info see www.scamwatch.gov.au
