Sister getting me Anais Anais fragrance by Cacherel
My younger sister flew to HK to attend an ex colleague’s wedding reception yesterday. She stayed at one of the cheap hotels for one night and flew home this morning.
I was just casually mentioned to her that maybe she could help me to pick up a bottle of perfume at the airport’s duty free stores. Didn’t really expect her to call me from the airport this morning, asking about the name brand of the fragrance I wanted.
I have asked for a bottle of Anais Anais by Cacherel. Love this fragrance, it’s sweet, refreshing and flowery. She could only find the Eau de toilette at the duty free stores though I would prefer the Eau de parfum. The last bottle of this fragrance had served me for two years and used until the last drop.
The Big Boy doesn’t really bother about fragrance, he is born with very little sense of smell and can’t really smell unless it’s pungent like rotten eggs. I am wearing it anyway because I like to smell good. :-)

The Big Boy grew up in sunny California, the chilly winter and ice storm in IL are not something he is used to. It takes him a while to get used to the cold weather since moving there last year. He is currently renting a room at his cousin’s house and we will be getting an apartment when I join him next spring.
His cousin’s house that he lives in now has no central heating, he often freezes his butt off in the bedroom. That’s why he tries to stay at the basement where they have a fireplace. I hope the apartment we are going to move in would have central heating. We may have to get one of those gas portable heaters to keep the room toasty. In fact, it will be more difficult for me to adjust to the cold compare to the Big Boy. At least he has more fat to protect him from the cold weather that I don’t have.:-)

When I learned about the miseries that happened to this person that had caused much grieves in my life in the past, I was almost delighted. I wasn’t feeling revengeful or hoping that bad things would happen to her. But it was just good to know bad karma comes around. It’s bad of me, I know.
Do you believe people reap the negativities that they project onto their lives? Why would a woman who is so blessed, has good education, good job and a super nice husband complains no end about everything? Instead of complains and complains, may be she can make good use of her time by enrolling herself into a distance learning course.
It’s a pity that she is so busy bitching, wallowing in envy and jealousy, thus she has no time to appreciate the goodness in her life. I don’t judge my friends, but she is not my friend.:-) I do hope all this bad things that happened in her life will somehow help her to see how pathetic her life has become.
Filed under slice of life | Comment (0)Online dating for my sisters
My two sisters are fast approaching 30s, they worked hard since they graduated from college. They both work in the regional offices of multinational companies and the nature of their jobs requires them to travel a lot, so they didn’t have much time to date and socialize.
I was thinking about them partly because I didn’t want to see them following my footsteps, getting married at late 30s and missed the boat to experience childbirth and motherhood. Since they do want to get married and have a family if they meet the right person, I encourage them to find dates and meet more people through online Single Dating services. They are skeptical and hesitant, but agreed to sign up at one of the online dating sites recommended.
I do know some friends who ended up marrying a person they met online and I know several men and women who regularly meet others online and then in real life and begin dating. I was reading a story in the newspaper about the increase in online matchmaking services and how many people are having success with them.
I wonder … how many of you have met someone through the Internet, particularly a dating service, and started dating or even married?

SL’s mother was diagnosed with fourth stage lung cancer. The fiercely independent woman decided not to go through chemotherapy or radiotherapy, but seeking alternative treatment. She is going through the all organic natural remedy to fight cancer.
She is still doing fine right now despite of the pain she often suffers. SL and her siblings have gotten her a maid, but she still cooks and washes around the house. She is also active in the Church. Outwardly, it’s hard to tell that she is a cancer patient and the doctor has diagnosed that her days are numbered. You really see courage and hope in her.
