Hi guys!
Sorry it took me so long to write about my haul from Sephora sale... Reason number one, I've been insanely busy =_= all the posts I posted over the last few weeks were all pre-written (good thing I got quite a few in before all the sh** hit, HAHA). Honestly I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up with this weekly blogging thing, because in less than a month, I will forever be done with classroom setting, and go into the real world for rotations for the next year O_o that means I'll pretty much have a normal working schedule. Doesn't help that I'm entering the finals preparation phase. Reason number two, I just had really bad luck with this haul =_= after a lot of back and forth, I actually returned the majority of the things -_- so the testing out/returning process took a while.
So as a follow-up to my wishlist post, these are the items I ordered originally:
1. Living Proof Prime Style Extender
2. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
3. Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick in Backstage Bambi
4. Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Sweety
I ended up not liking the Bite Beauty lip crayon (will explain later), so I went in the store and exchanged for Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner. And I ended up with the haul below
(including the samples)
But in the end, I returned everything, EXCEPT the Living Proof Prime Style Extender -____-|||||
This has got to be the single biggest return I've ever made at Sephora. Seriously, I was so surprised at how most of the products ended up not working out for me. Sorry Sephora T_____T Feel so bad for returning so many items.... orz....
So since I gave all the items a pretty decent enough of trial time, I figured might as well turn this into haul/review post. Let's look at the Bite Beauty lip crayon, the first product that made it to my "return" list, shall we?
1. Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Sweety
So in the last post I mentioned I've tried this in the store and really liked the color. I actually changed my mind -_- see the thing is, under Sephora's lighting, it's hard to tell the true colors of the products. After wearing this product in natural lighting, I just did NOT like the color at all. Under the Sephora lighting, it looks like a subdued, neutral pink, like exactly shown in the above picture. For some reason, it looks so much pinker under natural lighting, and just does not flatter my complexion. Another huge reason why I didn't like the product-- it is SO DRY. It's advertised to be "A moisture-rich, matte-finish lipstick with a delicious citrus scent." I am sorry. There is no moisture. It dried my lips out. $24 for this less than mediocre product? No thank you. Returned. I think I'm officially giving up on Bite Beauty ~_~ (tried their lipstick before too, also meh...)
2. Living Proof Prime Style Extender
So even though I ended up keeping this product, I have to say I'm not completely satisfied with it. I guess it does protect my hair from heat (like I said before, I can never tell), and it does keep the style-- but it doesn't make my hair look any smoother. Like the wavy hair style I created with my Hot Tools Deep Waver, the waves still come out frizzy. Am I just too picky? It does say "It weightlessly perfects strands while smoothing and correcting hair texture" though, so no one can really blame me for being disappointed when I found that it doesn't give my hair a smoother finish. I might have to go back to the gold standard: heat protectant, then set with hair spray. By the way I do use quite a liberal amount-- about two quarter sizes-- so I will probably run out of this really fast if I use it regularly. But it is very weightless and non-sticky, so I do like that. And it smells like grapefruit to me (I am ambivalent toward the scent). I will use it up but I don't think I will be repurchasing it.
3. Stila Stay All Day Waterpoof Liquid Eyeliner and Stila Smudge Stick Waterpoof Eyeliner
For me, testing out if an eyeliner is good or bad is the easiest thing in the world-- it only takes a day (sometimes just a few hours) for me see if an eyeliner works for me. Let's just let the pictures do the talking:
This was taken in the morning-- sorry it's a bit blurry, was in a hurry to leave the apartment. Top eyeliner (extended out) is the liquid eyeliner. And I used the smudge stick on the bottom eyeliner. I also used a black eye shadow to blend out and set the smudge stick.
The other eye.
About 7 hours later:
Haha. Tragic. Not unexpected though.
I can tell you guys that it took less than 7 hours for it to smudge like this. Probably 2-3 hours?
Asian eyes, beware! Especially if you have the eyeliner-always-smudging-on-the-outer-corner problem. To be fair I think both are nice eyeliners and probably would've worked really well for non-Asians.
Conclusion: I'm stuck with using MAC Liquidlast and Milani Infinite Liner forever. Haha
4. Caviar CC Cream Leave-in Hair Perfector
Can someone explain to me why a brand would name its hair product CC cream? =______= Don't they know CC stands for color correct? What the eff. I guess they try to play with it and make it stand for "complete correct". Should I say they're creative or misleading.... lol. Anyway, it was a 100 point perk and I saw that it has heat protection, so I thought I'd give it a try. Haven't tried it as a heat protectant or for its "light hold" and "smoothness". I shall report back. As far as moisture and manageability, it's nice-- kind of reminds me of my Phyto 7 Hydrating day cream.
5. Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick
So originally I got the color Backstage Bambi, which is a bright fuchsia pink. Exactly like the problem I had with the Bite Beauty lip crayon-- it looks so much brighter and pinker under natural sunlight. Like a shocking pink. Me no likey. So I went to the store to exchange it. Actually ended up exchanging it for Jeffree. Seriously though, at that point I should have just returned it and not be bothered with exchanging for another color, because the few times I tried the product out, it was SO drying. But I ignored my instinct and told myself maybe it would work out better with a color that suits me.
Here's Jeffree on my lips
I really like the color! It has a baby peachy finish.
Pic is kind of washed out but you get the idea (I also only used a very little amount as you can see... that's prob why it didn't show up that well lol). By the way I was using the Living Proof Style Prime Extender in this pic... as you can see.... it did NOTHING for the frizziness.
So like I said-- I ignored my instincts telling me "you know you might not like this product anyway it's too dry".... and I TRIED. I tried using a lip balm before, tried using a lip balm over it... DID. NOT. WORK. It dried out my lips so badly that it made my lips crease. This product is even worse than the Bite Beauty one. I COULD NOT TAKE IT. I was going to keep it because at this point I already returned so many products, but then I thought when am I ever going to use it? =_= So project matte lips, my friends, so far is an epic fail.
I hope I didn't bore you guys to death with this post... so as a little bonus review, I tried out the popular Diorsnow White Reveal UV Shield.
I was actually quite surprised with the formula. It's REALLY thick. I don't know why but I was expecting it to be thin and easy to spread?
It also leaves a sheen-- or you can call it glow/dewy-ness. For people with darker skin tones, it probably can qualify as a white cast.
Just to demonstrate it's a thick sunscreen-- not the thin and runny kind that will slide down your face. You have to really rub it in and work it evenly across your face. Because it's so thick/not as easy to spread, I found that I use A LOT of the product. I wouldn't be surprised if I ever purchase this, it'd prob only take me half of the normal time to finish the tube.
When the sunscreen is first applied, it leaves a very obvious sheen/glow. But after a few minutes it gets absorbed-- you're still left with a glow, but it's more subtle.
You guys prob can't really tell the dewy finish/glow from this sunscreen. I tried my best but the glow is just too hard to be photographed.
My thoughts on this sunscreen?
When the MUA who was helping me with the sample found out I have normal/oily combination skin, he warned and warned me that this sunscreen might be too thick for me and might make me super oily, and suggested the best time to try it would probably be winter. And to be honest, after swatching it on the back of my hand and seeing how dewy it is, I was really worried myself. So when I first tried this sunscreen, I braced myself for an extremely oily face at the end of the day. To my surprise!!!!!!!!! It absolutely did NOT make me extra oily (let's take a moment to be shocked with Frances), on the contrary, it actually balanced my oiliness O_o I wouldn't say it kept me matte-- because of its dewy finish, my foundation just doesn't look matte even after setting with powder-- the dewy-ness does peeking through. I have worn the sunscreen 5-6 times and I can tell you guys it wasn't a fluke-- it does control my oil. I notice I am a lot less oilier compared to when I don't use this sunscreen. I would say for people who love luminous primer but struggle to find one that doesn't make you a hot oily mess by the end the day, look into this! Get a sample a try it out =)
Damn it, now I'm tempted to buy this sunscreen... but I can never imagine myself spending $58 on a sunscreen -_-a So I think I will stick with Anessa. That one controls oil too. Haha.
What did you guys buy from the Sephora sale??? Or if there's no Sephora where you are... what did you buy recently?? =D
Thanks for reading guys! I feel like my posts are getting quite boring these days... lol. Maybe I should do a tag post or something just to spice things up? Also thinking about doing an updated fitness/weight loss post... or a dieting post. Partly because I've been struggling so much with my diet these days =( I feel like writing about it will really help motivate me to stay on track. I'll see how I feel haha (or if I have the time...)
Until next time, take care guys and have a wonderful weekend!

Once more I find myself in this wonderful coffee shop, in the same seat with a soft burgundy pillow behind me. I've finished drinking the first gigantic mug of hot chocolate for today, and am ready to keep on writing. Today the atmosphere of this place is different though. A waterpolo athlete is sitting in front of me wearing his team shirt proudly, and staring at his computer screen. He has headphones in, but hasn't realized that they aren't plugged in to the computer, so every half hour or so a youtube video blares out from his speakers in the loud voices so often associated with infomercials, but this time in Serbian. The room is filled with younger people sitting in every available armchair or high stool, with the exception of the other by my table so inconspicuously occupied by my overflowing backpack. The other odd one out in this cube is an older man with flowing shoulder-length grey hair and a fuchsia sweater. But somehow despite his sagging skin and the weaving maze of veins that crisscross his hands, he strikes me as more alive than most of the fresher faces lost in the glow of their phone or computer screens.
So it's half past noon, already, and although I've been awake for over four hours it feels like my body is only just catching up to the ebb and flow of the day. Time to blast some music and get down to it, ignoring the Serbian blaring out from Mr. Waterpolo's speakers, and ignoring the academic chatter from the table of two maybe 19 year old girls, and of course ignoring the blasts of hot hair from the cappuccino (a word I still always misspell) machine.
Have you ever found that when you allow too much time to write and set too much of it aside, you don't approach your task with urgency and discipline? That's a little of what I'm feeling today. I have at least four glorious, uninterrupted hours left, even though I've been here for more than two so far, and the first words of the day have not yet graced the word document containing my current magnum opus.
A barely eaten salad rests on the table by me, fuel primed for the vicious attack of the munchies that strike when you've been plucking at a keyboard for so long that you don't notice how many seconds, or hours, have ticked by. But I'm not hungry. I'm filled with a lethargic sleepiness and keep yawning wider and wider as each song passes.
Time to shake it off, to open the document and crack on, especially as the man in fuchsia has finished his drink and departed, leaving this high ceilinged cube just that little bit duller.

I read recently that it is a waste of your life to wait to be happy.
At first, it didn't really strike me as being all that logical. Why would anyone wait to be happy? Aren't you happy NOW? Or just not happy at all?
But I suppose it's true.
It is somewhat possible to wait for happiness.
I've been doing that almost my whole life (sad to say!)
When I was in primary school, I figured that I'd be happy once UPSR is over. When that was over, I figured I'd be much happier in secondary school where I could then finally meet people who were older and more... matured.
Then I took my PMR and thought I could be even more happier once I'm a senior in school. I'd have the time of my life! I could be in any educational stream I want.
Then I thought "I'll be really happy in college! Freedom!"
Then I thought "I could be happier with a boyfriend"
Then I thought "I could be happier if I got to study overseas"
Then I thought "I could be happier if I could get a job in London"
and it goes on and on.
I'm never satisfied!
Admittedly, sometimes I catch myself holding myself back thinking "I'll be happier when I get out of the country to start a new life".
Now I know that it's not about being happy later. Later will (or might) come, but right now is also just now's later. So I should choose to be happy.
It will be difficult. I'm all about pessimism and idealism, but I promise to try!

Louise Baldock was a Labour Councillor in the city of Liverpool for two terms, 2006 - 2014. This was her award-winning blog, written mainly as a councillor about issues affecting Kensington and Fairfield ward, sometimes as a politician, and sometimes simply personal commentary. Although she thought she might rekindle the blog after May 2015, she has now changed her mind and leaves this as an archive and record.

Your money, your choice
'Cleaner, Safer, Greener' provides small grants to local community groups who have ideas for projects that help make their neighbourhood a better place to live. Projects can range from community clean-ups through to projects that help make communities safer or that bring people together.
Kensington and Fairfield has a total funding allocation of £8,975.00.
Decisions on the allocation of funds to the projects will be made via Participatory Budgeting (PB), a process whereby ward residents are invited to an event to vote on proposals submitted by groups within their ward. All applicants will be required to deliver a short 3 minute presentation on their proposal at the PB meeting and answer questions on their bids.
The deadline for applications for all those participating wards is 12 noon on Friday 15th October
For an application form and further details please contact The Grants Team at LCVS - the team are happy to help groups with support and advice on making their application so if you are interested in applying please call on 227 5177 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
The event where you can vote for your preferred options, has been pencilled in for 9th November, probably at St Francis of Assisi Academy. Watch this space for more information.

These events whilst well intentioned are deeply flawed.
How can it be right that the basis for allocation of Ward monies is based on which local group can rustle up the most residents to attend and vote for them.
A rubbish idea started by the failed last administration. They should be scraped.

Hello anonymous. I do have some sympathy with your views but we have moved on a long way since the last events and made several changes, which you may not be aware of.
One of the changes is that residents will be able to decide how to spend some of the Highway budget - I forget the figure, it might be around £8k, in the ward, and can choose to spend it on potholes, pavements, bins, benches, holes in entries etc. And they can nominate suitable locations at the same time.
Another change is that the bids will be assessed before they reach the event and ones that don't meet our new criteria wont be tabled at the event, this should rule out some of the problems we had last time too.
I suggest you come along and see what you think, I hope you will be pleased, but if you are still not happy then I would be happy to sit down with you and have a proper discussion, afterwards.

Hi Louise
I live in Mossley Hill so you are not my patch
I have alreasy taken up my issues with Tina and Ron Gould
Thanks for the answer anyway

I really hope the improvement works. I had a bad experience of last year's event in my ward. I was one of the few local residents who had no affiliation to any one bid.
It turned out that the money ended up being divided by the two groups who could get the most young people there. Ironically, the bid that lost out was a presentation by the daughter of one of our councillors!
To make it a truly level playing field, therefore empowering the community, bidding organisations should be limited as to the amount of votes they have.

Here is a link to the game.
So my thoughts, this week, have been directed at how I can maintain focus for the length of the 2-3 hour game. I personally think this issue of lack of focus and enduring to the very end is a broader issue in my life and it just manifests itself in my chess.
One thing I've tried to change this week is in my exercise routine. Instead of giving up when I'm feeling tired, I been trying to stretch myself into working out longer. Before, I would bike for 20 minutes and jog for 20 minutes. During those workouts, I'd take frequent breaks. This week I've been focused on riding consistently for the full 30 minutes and then to push myself for the full 30 minutes at jogging. I've been successful so far (Monday through today). This is just one example, but I've been trying to keep the topic of endurance in my mind in all the things I do. I aim to improve my endurance and capacity in all aspects of my life.

Seasoned salespeople could learn a thing or two from this 12-year-old
I really want to hire a young lady who truly has what it takes to be a sales superstar: a winning personality, incredible empathy, sweet disposition, great smile and an eagerness to learn and try new things.
Unfortunately, I might have to wait about 10 years. She was only 12 years old, working a bake sale at a nursing home to raise money for a project.
I was visiting a friend of mine at the nursing home. As we were talking, out of the corner of my eye I was watching this cute kid talk to every person who would walk by.
"Would you like to buy some baked goods?" she said to everyone.
No fear of rejection, and she seemed to be enjoying herself.
Naturally, being a sales trainer, I said, "Hey, you want to try something a little different and maybe sell more stuff?"
She looked up at me and said, "Absolutely!"
I kicked into training mode (my wallet is older than she is). I suggested that she ask a simple question: "Would you like a brownie or a cookie?"
This will bring people to your table, I told her. Now all you have to do is tell them how much it costs.
Most adults or people who come to my speeches or for training (voluntary or company policy), do NOT want to try something new.
She did it with no hesitation, and it worked easily for her. A big smile came over her face, and I received a hearty and genuine thank you.
A 'winner at heart'
What a treat to train someone who wants to be trained. No hesitation or excuses, just a "Let's go" attitude.
As I continue to conduct sales training seminars, the more I realize that we need more Lillys out there. We need someone who wants to enjoy herself, is willing to adapt or try something new and does not get frazzled about losing the sale.
She was fresh, with no hidden agenda or preconceived notions of what works or doesn't work. She was a winner at heart with the desire to succeed and will enjoy the process. She motivates herself, and others want to be around her.
Many books have come out telling business owners that it all starts by first hiring the right employee and that if you can do that the training will take care of itself.
Jim Collins, the author who wrote the national best-seller "Good To Great," said it best: "Get the right people on the bus."
All that means is find the right people to hire, and you will have a more productive and better-run company.
Almost every week, I receive an email or phone call asking me whether I know any good salespeople. I can honestly now answer yes, but they might have to wait awhile.
If anybody runs into Lilly in a decade or so, please tell her that the "sales trainer dude" says hello. I am sure she will be incredibly successful and an inspiration to many.
Becker is an author and trainer in sales and customer service.

When we checked out Riverdale, the CW's more dramatic take on the characters of Archie Comics, we briefly wondered whether or not we could see Sabrina the Teenage Witch on the show in the future. With Josie and the Pussycats characters already in play, it's conceivable we could see other Archie Comics characters find their way in (especially a couple seasons down the road when the showrunners start getting desperate for new ideas). But, as recent interviews with the production team indicate, it's no sure thing.
The most promising statement comes from executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who told Entertainment Weekly, "I'll just tease that Sabrina has potential with a capital P." Pretty vague, but we'd imagine that he just means the idea is there (as if it couldn't be). He also mentioned that the focus is currently on executing their vision for Riverdale, so if Sabrina Spellman flies in, it won't be for a while.
But, there's the obvious issue of Sabrina being a witch. In the lighter comics, there's more freedom to introduce off-the-wall stuff like magic, but Riverdale's darker, more realistic bent (it is centered around a murder, after all), makes it a lot harder to introduce magic in a way that stays consistent with the tone of the show. But, to include Sabrina, there's no way to get around having magic — we know the production team hasn't been shy about making big changes to the main Archie characters, but magic is, to say the least, core to Sabrina's character.
Aguirre-Sacasa told The Wrap, "The one thing that's tricky is, there will always be a genre, mystery element to this show, but it's hard to introduce a supernatural element. I think there's a way to introduce Sabrina in a way that's not supernatural, but she is, she's a witch." The Wrap does report that Sabrina could even show up this season, although that sounds unlikely if the production team has no clear plan in place for how they'd bring her in. If they do, the report makes it sound like her character will be made darker to fit the tone of the show, so you might as well put Melissa Joan Hart out of mind now.
Maybe is the best we're getting for now. But, the longer the show stays on the air, the more likely it is that the writers will bring her in to shake things up. If that ends up being the case, we really hope Riverdale sticks around for seven or eight seasons, so we can start speculating about whether or not they'll add fellow Archie Comics star Sonic the Hedgehog.

Those named in arrest reports or receiving police summonses have not been convicted of a crime. In court, the charges against them may be reduced or withdrawn or the defendants may be found not guilty.
Virginia J. Gibbs of Shelter Island notified police that upon leaving an event around 11 p.m. Saturday night, she found that her car which was parked along North Ferry Road had been damaged. Apparently, a 9-foot long piece of lumber (about 1 inch by 2 inches) fell from an unknown passing vehicle and struck the rear window, the right side passenger door and the left front quarter panel. The damage was estimated to be in excess of $1,000.
A ticket was issued on North Menantic Road on April 1 to Charles J. Magill of Stuart, Florida for driving an uninspected vehicle.
Stephanie Bucalo of Shelter Island was ticketed the morning of April 2 for allowing her numerous dogs to bark continuously, causing a disturbance in violation of the Town's noise ordinance.
Police officers also issued verbal warnings to drivers on three occasions during 10 traffic enforcement patrols last week.
A caller alerted police to a vehicle being driven erratically at the school during morning drop off on March 28, reporting that the driver had entered the lot in the wrong direction. An officer spoke with the driver who said it was his first time dropping his kids off and he will be more careful in the future.
Later, a Menantic caller reported another car being driven erratically but the responding officer could not locate the vehicle.
Also on March 28, a sick raccoon reported by a Tarkettle resident was dispatched; a Longview resident's medical alert malfunctioned, calling police multiple times; and a Center landlord reported, for informational purposes, that his tenant had removed a rented item from the property.
A Center resident reported finding a hunter's tree stand on March 29 on her property where hunting is not allowed. The responding officer removed the stand, valued at $100, to the impound lot.
Later, another Center resident reported suspicious activity at her home. The caretaker found no signs of a break-in, but the caller requested additional patrols.
Workers at a Westmoreland residence accidentally set off a heat-sensing alarm on March 30; the Shelter Island Fire Department responded and determined it was a false alarm and advised the workers put the system on standby. Later, a Longview resident complained on March 30 that a dirt bike was being used on a road there.
The responding officer located the rider and notified him, and his mother, of laws restricting the use of unregistered off-road vehicles on public highways. Also that day, an officer assisted the county sheriff's office in serving an order of protection.
On March 31, an officer met with school personnel to discuss the D.A.R.E. program. Later, an officer placed a traffic cone at the site of road flooding.
Cancel your credit cards and place an alert on your credit report, was the advice that police gave to a Hay Beach caller who reported having been the victim of identity theft on April 2. Later, an officer turned off the lights and shut the front door of a Center building where the last person to leave had not properly secured the place.
At a Cartwright residence on April 3, a worker accidentally set off the home's burglary alarm. The caretaker was on the scene resetting the sytem.
Also on April 3: A dinghy found in waters off West Neck was moved to the impound lot by a Bay Constable; a Shorewood caller reported a dog at large on the beach, but it was gone when police arrived; and a caller alarmed by gunshots late in the evening was assured they were from a legal deer damage hunt taking place in the Mashomack area.
A Shelter Island Emergency Medical Services team transported an aided case to Eastern Long Island Hospital on March 29. On April 3, a SIEMS team transported an aided case to Southampton Hospital.

I have missed my Thursday Thoughts post yesterday due to the fact that I am busy working at a trade show this week. I have managed to prepare my other posts in advance but was way too tired to write one during the last few days…
Anyhow, I did not want to miss out on taking pictures and my weekly High Five For Friday Post, so here we go with this week's highlights:
1. Time Traveling to Italy's 60ies
Last Saturday, we walked from Bardolino (That is where our hotel was located) along the shore of the Lago Di Garda to a small village called Garda. Over there, we felt as if we had just time traveled to Italy's 60ies. I wrote a full report about that over at our Travel Blog so hop over there if you want to find out more.
2. Visiting Verona – The Shakespeare City
Last Sunday then, we figured out that two of our friends from the UK were in Verona, just a 30 minutes drive from the Lago di Garda so we decided spontaneously to go to the city of Shakespeare and see them for lunch. We also stopped by at the famous Romeo and Juliette balcony where we touched the breast of the statue of Juliette which is supposed to give us good luck.
Verona is an amazing city and we are planning on going back there during our holidays in South Tyrol in October…
3. Trying Horse Meat
This is something, many of you will probably find disgusting but in Verona, we tried horse meat during our lunch which is a speciality for that region of Italy and, I have to admit, a very tasty one.
4. Staying in Frankfurt for the Rest of the Week
Since early morning on Tuesday, I am in Frankfurt for a trade show that I am attending for the company, I am working for. I took the chance to meet one of my best friends here in Frankfurt on Tuesday night. The trade show is exhausting again but it is the last one for this year and the remaining months of this year are going to be very quiet and more relaxing than the past ones…
5. Trade Show Break
Being at a trade show for 5 days is very tiring and I am always glad when I get home to my hotel bed in the evening so that my feet can relax from the exhausting day. Once a day, I take around 20-30 minutes off from our booth and sit outside next to this tiny water space and just enjoy the great weather we've been having here. It is so refreshing to go outside once in a while as the light stays the same the whole day inside and the air inside the trade fair halls is very dry and makes me tired as well.
Weekend Preview:
This weekend will not be exciting at all! I am still at the trade show for one last day on Saturday before we head home to the South on Saturday night. Sunday, I will, once again, spend relaxing and enjoying some one-on-one time with Christian who I have been missing all week.
But the most exciting thing is going to happen on Monday! Something, I have been waiting for for a VERY long time: Our kitchen is going to be delivered!!!! It will still take time until Wednesday night until it will be completely installed and ready to use but I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to that moment!!! I will keep posting pictures on Instagram about the progress.
Your Turn: How was your week?
How was your week? Please tell and join the fun! Take part in Lauren Elizabeth's High Five For Friday and also link up with The Diary of a Real Housewife. I look forward to reading about your week! Please let me know if you're stopping by from the Link-Ups so that I get a chance to visit you, too!
Happy Friday and a wonderful weekend to all of you!!!

Hi JessReplyDelete
Glad to see how well your blog is doing and that you are still firing here. Xmas is coming and all I have done about it is shop a bit. Have bought a pink wood hand carved christmas tree which I love. Its about the height of my middle finger but it does stand out where it is placed. Made by an artist whose website is www.flatlandok.com. He is very sweet too and I have bought a few things direct from him visiting his studio. The nicest way to shop in my opinion.
Have to catch up on your blogs now. Its been awhile since I visited and how charming it is.

I didn't do Stretch X today. . .
I decided against doing stretch X today. . .I figured I needed to push myself harder since yesterday I did Ab Ripper and that was it. I just felt like a bit of a slacker if I only did stretch today. So as I reviewed next week's schedule I figured I could slip in a Legs and Back workout since tomorrow I am doing stretch X and resting Sunday~ Just thought I would update because I am feeling good that I finished legs and back which makes it my 2nd time doing it. Monday I will have my workout on track and shouldn't have to shift my workout like this every week :)

Sometimes the little things in life are the most satisfying. We spend our lives moving from place to place clutching a device fueling our forward momentum. Mobility is not a trend it's reality. Those of you that have watched failed wireless connection attempts can attest to the bitter taste left. At times I want to jump for joy if my device connects to a new SSID, but association is just the beginning. We quickly overlook the realities and requirements for highly dense or heavily used Wi-Fi environments.
Those without insight typically assume running Wi-Fi is plug and play, just like at home… If only it was that easy.
Wireless LAN vendors have battled the past few years to highlight and promote their latest approach. Distributed vs. Centralized, Controller vs. Controller-less, Cloud hosted vs. Cloud managed. The marketing headlines are replete with tech jargon to fill an ocean. The battle is nowhere near conclusion with many points left to consider, debate and reform.
Yet the most salient question is rarely asked: Do customers really care? Are all network administrators deeply entrenched in Wireless technology to decipher the cryptic marketing messaging?
One thing I'm certain of is that end users do not care how their traffic flows, how their associated AP is managed, or if it's "Cloud Based". They simply want wireless that works, period.
Vendors offering cloud-managed solutions highlight the simplicity and cost savings of their solutions. If you dig, you'll quickly realize that their solution does not include a trained wireless professional to design, configure or operate the network day to day. You might realize that the only true cost benefit, in their "OPEX" model, is realized by hosting controller or management functions in the cloud. That's really it.
Wouldn't it be nice if someone offered a full OPEX cloud managed service for customers who are without headcount or budget to deliver against surging end-user demands and expectations?
A single low monthly cost that includes everything might start to sound compelling. Consider AP hardware, software, implementation, day-to-day management, reporting, upgrades and optional hardware refreshes at contract renewal in that package. That's right, everything you require to deliver a high performance mission critical Wi-Fi as demanded by your end users. Operational bliss, no headaches.
Best part – no jargon required.
Check out the new joint cloud wireless managed service from Enterasys and PCM.

Do you browse the daily decorators sale sites like Joss and Main or One King's Lane? You owe it to yourself to check them daily. I had been checking them everyday but never buying anything so I stopped looking and wouldn't you know it when I stopped they started having all these cool sales that I loved and could actually afford. Ever since then I make it a point to check them everyday. You never know what you'll find and you can always get great decorating ideas. Just yesterday I found a sale by Danika Herrick of the blog Gorgeous Shiny Things. She's the lovely lady that sells Overlay's. You can still check out her sale at Joss and Main for the next couple of days.
There's a sale coming up on Thursday from Young House Love. Should be a good one.

It's a radical thought. What if Microsoft is secretly planning to ditch Intel? With all of the recent talk about Windows RT"PCs", distinctions between the consumer roles associated with RT-based devices and the more traditional PC roles normally reserved for Intel-based systems have become blurred.
Suddenly, usage scenarios and form factors that were firmly part of Intel's territory are being encroached upon by a cornucopia of non-x86 Windows offerings. And cheering them all on is the chip maker's longtime comrade-in-arms, Microsoft. The Redmond, Wash.-based behemoth has been looking for a way out of the Wintel duopoloy for some time now, and the combination of increasingly powerful ARM designs and a tepid response to Intel's Ultrabook campaign has given the company the perfect opportunity to step out on its old partner.
The upside of such a move for Microsoft is obvious: The company gains access to a more power-efficient architecture that allows it to squeeze a variant of Windows down onto smaller form factor devices. And with BYOD fundamentally transforming the IT landscape into a sea of iPad work-alikes, the last place Microsoft wants to find itself is tied to Intel's stodgy vision of a traditional desktop/laptop computing experience.

Park - Long Since Gone review
|Long Since Gone
|Release date:
01. Long Since Gone
02. Secrets
03. The Fall
04. Stay Inside
A new Finnish star is about to rise, but this time it's neither Gothic- nor Power Metal.
Well ok, it's a little sad, but it's definitive not Gothic, it's some kind of hybrid between Electro something and slower (and sad) rock. It's very strange and it's very hard to mention in words, you'll have to hear it.
Park (strange name, btw) was formed in Suomi on a dark August night by two young Finnish that talked about music, and that now have resulted in the band Park and a demo that I'm going to talk about for a while now.
As I said, it's impossible to categorize the music in a fair way, but if I shall try the best I can, I would say Emotional Slow 'N' Sad, Electro, Rock (Metal) something.
Very hard as you can see, but I hope that at least give you so much that you know if you want to hear it or not.
But if we shall focus on the songs now, it's four of them so let's go through them one by one, shall we?
First out is the title track, "Long Since Gone", that's a slower and very beautiful song, the lyrics are quite sad and the music is touching you very deeply, very emotional song.
Second out is "Secrets", the first song I heard (it's available for Download on the homepage, you'll have to check it up). It continues almost were the title track left us, slow music and sad lyrics.
The third song, "The Fall" is the third part of the "Long Since Gone" "saga", at least it sounds like if, because it's very alike the other two songs, it sounds much like a third part of something, but if that's true, I don't know, but the music is slow and sad once more, it's just the chorus that separate it from the other songs, and this chorus is holding something famous, but I can't remember what, but it's good.
And number four, the last song is called "Stay Inside", and this is different, because of the beats, it's very synth/Electro, but the music is slow, of course, but the "boom boom" is normally found in a synth/electro ballad so, but it's good, and once again the lyrics is a little sad, which makes it good.
So overall is a very slow album with great music and lyrics, with great musicians and a voice that's really worth every cent you'll pay for it.
I really recommend it to you, if you like sad and emotional music, check these guys up, because I know they will be big, and if a label isn't interested in this, I'll be very surprised, because I would sign is right away.
Check Out: Them, the band, don't hesitate anymore go to their homepage and download "Secrets", listen to it, love it and order the Demo and don't let you be fooled by the name, I know that it sounds like a poor Nu-Metal band, but it isn't, it's really worth checking out, you won't regret it.

First off Merry Christmas,
And I hope your day was special. Filled with family,friends and good times.
So it's true,Santa does exist and I have proof. He appeared to me in the form of an endurance athlete.
Although I wasn't awoke because of a clatter on the roof top. I surely was stoked with sound of pedal clatters.
And there he was, with Rudolf and a couple of elves in tow. I found this small and happy crew making there way down to PCH to get some Christmas cheer on. As I had to pull them over and take a photo op. It made me smile and got to share http://www.enduranceathleteproject.com/ with them hopefully they will show up and reveal there selves to us.
enjoyed see them, hope you do to.

"Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island's popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn't have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, 'Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation.'"
We wouldn't expect any other type of behavior from ol' Sylvester.
What a perfect example of the mindset of the imperious and haughty overlords who love to burden the peasantry with ever-more increasing taxes and regulations, yet get completely bent out of shape when they are denied their request to break the rules themselves solely in order to save a measly buck, even though their lavish salaries and many perks are covered by the very serfs who have no choice but to follow the thousands of pages of orders from above because they're not, you know, important.
Dig deep, Barney. We know you've got it somewhere.

Today is the milestone of our 300th post on Max's blog and I would like to dedicate this post to:
out there!!
Ironically my very first post, on 11th June 2008 was the poem "MAX".
I feel that it is therefore right and fitting to dedicate this post to the new bloggers and to highlight one particular blogger in this endeavour. (about that later!)
who would occasionally introduce some interesting facets of our beautiful country...
that I got many more followers.
Somehow the interest in my country seemed to increase, so I got the opportunity to show numerous aspects of my beautiful country - including the diversity of wild life we have to offer...
I began to have a lot of fun on the blog. My digital camer goes everywhere and is extremely useful because I am acutely aware of my absolute inability to photoshop.
I preferred to use my creativity in taking photos to make up for my incompetence.
Also, I wanted to keep my original intention of blogging going i.e:
A place of upliftment, love and encouragement...
A place for friends:...
I really have made many, many friends through this amazing hobby called "Blogging!"
I have most importantly come to appreciate the immense support group that doggie-bloggers offer in times of need.
I will never forget waking up on Valentine's day this year to find that 42 bloggers had put up special posts, where they had invited Max to their world and included his picture in their blogs. It was a spine-tingling moment to realise just how many folk in this world really do care!!!
However, this blog has been mostly about sharing the lives of my very special companions
TAMMY, TOFFEE, TOMMY and MAXDOG!!!...
What a privilege it has been to share their journey with you.
So, with the theme today of
and also following STELLA's example, I would like to introduce you to a brand new blog:
This new blogger is from from New Zealand. She has really touched me by sending me many uplifting emails during Max's illness.
She makes beautiful suggestions - like my special book which Im writing about Max.
I have been trying to encourage her to start a blog, because she has so much to offer.
Like all of us, she is nervous and new to this community.
When she recently sent me a picture of her "Riley", I was struck by how much he looked like our Max. He is three years old now. Growing from the beautiful pup (on the R.H.S of the picture above) to an incredible handsome dog!
So PLEASE would you visit her - in honour of my 300th post?
...and PLEASE leave a comment for her too!
He is chugging along. He's not feeling so good today - having not eaten his breakfast and simply lying on the floor next to me. But he is comfortable so we'll just wait and see what the day brings.

It seems that decisions today are made by those heavy with money but light on souls. How else to interpret the recent Supreme Court decision? Corporations are not real people. But, yes, Virginia, money talks. Supreme Court, Corporations, Congress, Wall Street, Banks, Health Insurance and Credit Card Companies all know that. So when the Supreme Court makes a decision that overthrows the Constitution and common sense what is the average citizen to do? I wish I knew.
Until term limits are placed upon Supreme Court justices we will be stuck with bad law and judges who are not neutral.

Running 26.2 miles is like climbing a mountain. The training, miles, and effort which must go into it are demanding. I have seen the mountain those with cancer must climb and it is an even greater challenge than I am about to endure in preparation for the Chicago Marathon, but I am willing to do my part to honor those closest to me as well as paying tribute to your dear ones with cancer. I ask for your support as I prepare to write my name in the 26.2 record books once more. I will do my part to run as fast as I can. Faster than i have ever run in a race of this distance. I ask that you support me by donating to my cause for Imerman Angels so that no one does face cancer alone.
Throughout the next three months, I will keep you informed here about my progress with fundraising and training. I welcome all who wish to share their experience of how cancer has changed or touched their lives. Together we can be there for each other and can do our part to make this a better world. Please log on and donate at the following site and please pass the link to others:

United States District Court, D. Colorado
March 25, 2014
CHRISTINE WILLIAMS, Plaintiff,v.AUTO-OWNERS INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant.
MARCIA S. KRIEGER, Chief District Judge.
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (# 36). The Plaintiff filed a Response (# 40), and the Defendant replied (# 41). Having considered the same, the Court
FINDS and CONCLUDES that:
I. Jurisdiction
The Court exercises subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332.
II. Issue Presented
In this action, Plaintiff Christine Williams alleges that Defendant Owners Insurance Company ("Owners") failed to pay benefits that it owed to her under the uninsured/underinsured motorist ("UIM") provision of an auto insurance policy that Owners issued to Ms. Williams.
Ms. Williams asserts three claims, all under Colorado law: (i) breach of contract, (ii) bad faith breach of contract, and (iii) unreasonable denial of a claim in violation of C.R.S § 10-3-1115 and §10-3-1116. Owners moves for summary judgment on all of Ms. Williams' claims.
III. Material Facts
Based upon the evidence submitted by the parties, which the Court construes most favorably to the Plaintiff, the Court finds the following for the purposes of this motion:
On August 25, 2008, Ms. Williams was injured in a motor vehicle accident with another driver. Ms. Williams promptly notified Owners of the accident, and then filed a claim with the other driver's insurer, GEICO. GEICO accepted liability for the accident, but no settlement between Ms. Williams and GEICO occurred until January 3, 2012. GEICO paid Ms. Williams the driver's total policy limit of $25, 000.
Ms. Williams' policy with Owners provided maximum UIM coverage of $100, 000. Subject to that limitation, the UIM provision of Ms. Williams' policy provided that she was entitled to recover from Owners the "damages [she] is legally entitled to recover from" an "underinsured" driver.
On January 10, 2012, Ms. Williams demanded $100, 000 in UIM coverage from Owners. In her demand, she stated that she had more than $50, 000 in unreimbursed medical costs and $60, 000 in unreimbursed lost income caused by the accident in excess of the GEICO settlement.
Upon receipt of Ms. Williams' demand, Mark DeLeon, the Owners adjuster overseeing the claim, consulted with Amy Brugam, one of Owners' attorneys. Mr. DeLeon and Ms. Brugam raised concerns about whether the medical records supplied by Ms. Williams supported her claims. Among other things, Ms. Brugam was "concerned that it seemed that her symptoms may have gotten worse over time"; Mr. DeLeon believed that "some of her alleged injuries were degenerative in nature, as opposed to traumatically caused by the accident", and they noted that despite Ms. Williams' claim for lost wages, none of her medical providers had placed her on work restrictions. Based upon these concerns, Ms. Brugam authorized Mr. DeLeon to offer to settle Ms. Williams' UIM claim for $50, 000.
Owners conveyed the settlement offer orally on February 6, 2012, and followed it up with a written proposal on February 7. At the same time, Owners requested that Ms. Williams provide further documentation. Ms. Williams (through counsel) responded on February 21, 2012, providing the requested supplemental ...

The pilot whale (Globicephala melas) is an extremely gregarious animal that regularly swims along the Faroese coast on its migration within its habitat in the northern Atlantic Ocean. During the approximately 300 years for which we have statistics, somewhere between 800 and 1500 whales have been killed annually in the Faroes. It is estimated that 1000 whales can produce roughly 500 tonnes of meat and blubber, and the pilot whale has thus been immensely important to the population of the islands down the ages.
The only terrestrial mammals on the Faroes are a few small rodents. Therefore, the only mammals that have been hunted regularly are seals, to be found in abundance along the coast. One exception is the hare, but it was introduced onto the islands in the 19th century. The capture of pilot whales is not hunting in the true sense of the word. They are not hunted. They are driven ashore when a pod happens to swim by.
On the Faroes there has always been free access to the resources of the sea. This also applies to pilot whales. On the other hand, catching them requires extensive social organisation. On account of the topography of the islands, there are only a few places where it is possible to drive a pod of whales ashore and slaughter them. Since 1832, legislation has governed where pilot whales may be caught. There were probably also rules on this earlier. However, the legislation does not give the inhabitants of a village with a specified catch site a preferential right to catch the whales. The meat and blubber of pilot whales is equally distributed among all inhabitants, whether newborn or elderly. Even visitors get their lawful share. For practical reasons, the country is divided into pilot whale districts, but over time there will be food for all. In this way, a unique distribution system has emerged in connection with the exploitation of this important resource.
Title: Long-finned Pilot Whale

The Perfect Day (aka. day 1)
Unfortunately, I ruined the plan! Emily woke me up at 7:30am, as per the plan, I nodded at her, rolled over, and then suddenly it was 10:30am. Oh dear! By the time I finally stumbled downstairs, they'd already eaten breakfast (although there was a homemade breakfast sandwich waiting for me), and were getting on with stuff around the house. So we had to re-jig the plan. C really kindly volunteered to stay with P for the day so Emily and I could go out and spend some time together, and we decided to hit the city of Seattle :)
First we drove over to Bainbridge Island, about 30 minutes away. I know you're all getting a little sick of 'how beautiful Washington is', but really, it is - and the drive was lovely. We drove over a bridge to get to the island, and Emily tells me that they have a lot of really beautiful (and expensive) homes on Bainbridge Island. Apparently Jennifer Aniston has one out here? Anyway, here's a quick shot that I took of some of the nice homes on the island:
From there, we parked the car, and caught the Ferry over to Seattle. It was a really large ferry, and lots of people took their cars on, but we just 'walked on'. The weather was really 'brisk and fresh' as I like to say, but we were worried about being a little chilly later in the day, so Emily had lent me a really cute red jacket she has. The ferry ride took about 35 minutes, and was really fun. First, it was quaint and pretty with great views, then it was really windy, and then it was FREEZING! I had on a big jacket and a scarf and I was FREEZING! :) We lasted about 25 minutes, but we had to go and take shelter for the last 10 minutes or so :)
As we got closer to Seattle though, and the ferry was entering the harbour (where it's a little more sheltered from the wind), we went back out onto the deck, and took in the great views of Seattle from the water. It's a really pretty city. Lots of different colours and architecture - bricks, glass, steel, red, blue, brown, grey and green. The closer we got, the more I liked it :)
We had decided that first up, we'd go on the 'Seattle Underground Tour'. Emily had heard about it from friends who had done it, and we thought it sounded REALLY great. Seattle has a really interesting history. In a nutshell, there was a big fire in the late 1800s that wiped out 30 x 10 of the downtown blocks. When they rebuilt, the city planers raised the streets 12-30 feet to avoid future flooding problems they'd had in the past. But because it took them 2-3 years to raise all the streets, businesses rebuilt at the old ground level. This mean the sidewalks were down low with the businesses, and to access the streets, people climbed ladders from the sidewalks/business up to the streets and visa versa. Eventually, the city built sidewalks at the new level that covered the lower sidewalks, and businesses built second stories on top of their original buildings - so that the 'second stories' were now on ground level. Very interesting! You can read more about it on wikipedia, since it's probably a little more complicated than my very simple explanation! Anyway, these old sidewalks then became underground passages, and the tour discusses the history and takes us down into a bunch of the old tunnels/sidewalks.
The tour started in an old building that was done up like an old saloon. Emmy and I sat up on the balcony, and a really entertaining guide gave us a history overview about the founding of Seattle, and the early pioneers and city planners - Seattle's first movers and shakers. He took us right through the unfortunate fire (started by a 17 year boy who's mind wandered while he was making glue, and who subsequently moved to California and changed his name). Anyway, after this intro, we all filed outside into Pioneer Square and were separated into 4 separate groups (mine met over by the totem pole). Each group had their own tour guide, and we visited different sections of the tour in different orders (they push a lot of us through on that tour - they must make a killing!).
We really enjoyed the tour. Our tour-guide was a little crazy, and her voice seemed to drive almost everyone on our tour crazy, but once you got past that, we all had a great time. Really fascinating stuff to see and learn about. One of the things I enjoyed was seeing the 'skylights' that they built into the sidewalks that covered the old sidewalks. Because people still used the underground sidewalk to access the lower levels (until they were all condemned a couple of decades later), they built purple glass squares into a lot of the sidewalks above ground - which acted as skylights. They're all over the sidewalk in the city, and they just look like decorative tiles. It's not until you view them from underground that you realize their real purpose :)
Anyway, on the tour, we heard about a couple of other things in Seattle that we thought we'd like to check out. The first was the Smith Tower, which was the tallest building west of the Mississippi between 1914 and 1931 :) There's a viewing platform up the top and we were all set to go up and see it. Unfortunately, when we walked (up a very steep hill) to the front door of the building, we saw a sign telling us that it was closed for a private function *heavy sigh*. So we walked back down the hill, and went instead to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. They sold so many yummy types of chocolate, and a huge variety of 'candied apples' - covered in chocolate, caramel, nuts, coconut - you name it. I'm not huge on apples, but they were still really fun to look at, and we ended up getting one to take home for Chris. We also ended up with a couple of chocolates for ourselves.... lol!
Once we'd finished up at the Chocolate Factory, we headed off in search of the Space Needle. After stopping back at the underground tours place to get directions from a guide, we caught the bus to the Space Needle. It was a little scary because neither of us really knew how to catch the bus here, but we managed okay. There was a slight panic when we realized that the 'free bus' we'd been riding has gone past the 'free zone' and we had to pay as we got off, but we managed to scrounge the required 'correct change' from our wallets while an ever growing line of not-so-patient people built behind us.
The Space Needle costs $17 per person to get up the top to the viewing platform. SEVENTEEN DOLLARS people! We were really surprised at the cost, but we'd come this far, and thought we'd better keep going. The lines were really long, and it took us a while to get into the elevator, but we eventually made it. We were the last of the group to get on the elevator, and were right by the doors. The doors closed, and the elevator started shooting up to the top of the tower. That's when we suddenly realized that the walls of the elevator were completely made of see through glass, so that the view opened up right before you as you shot up! I would NOT have stood sandwiched quite so close to the completely glass doors if I'd realized they were completely glass doors! I freaked out just a little and took as big a step as possible BACK from the door :) Emily got a good laugh at that! I was alright once I had a chance to take it in, but it certainly took my off guard!
Once we got to the top, we wondered around and quickly got bored. We've decided that for your $17, all you really get is the opportunity to say that you've been up the space needle, because it really wasn't all that exciting from the top - though it certainly is a long way up. The elevator ride down was a highlight - since we were expecting it the second time - and then it released us out into the very large gift shop :)
We had planned to walk back down to the docks, but seeing it from the top of the space needle, we'd realized it was actually quite a long way! So we sprung for a cab that took us back down to the water.
Our plan was to hit The Crab Pot for dinner - but we got sidetracked and ended up taking a bit of a wander. We walked about another massive hill and 5,000,000 stairs to the big warehouse and open area that houses PIke's Market. It was about 5:30pm at this point, the markets were closing down. A lot of the venders had already packed up for the day, but we had a bit of a wander through anyway, just in case we don't get the chance to go back again. Mum, I thought of you when we got to the flower section! Most had already packed down, but there were still huge areas of the most beautiful flowers, and they're all sold REALLY cheap! We got a beautiful boquet of flowers for $10, and they've been sitting on the kitchen table ever since.
After our wanderings, we went back down to the dock, and over to The Crab Pot. There was an hours wait for dinner, so we put our names on the list, and went out to sit on one of the piers and watch the sunset. It was just the most gorgeous weather, cold but crisp with lovely sunshine. Usually I much prefer rain, but it was so perfect that I didn't even mind the sunshine :) We just sat and chatted and ate chocolates from our chocolate factory visit.
Finally, our hour was up and we made it into The Crab Pot. The place was packed, but we were starving - we had never actually eaten lunch we'd been so busy :) The specialty at The Crab Pot (and the reason Emily dragged me there) is a huge tub of seafood that they come and dump on your table. They give you a fork, a hammer and lots and lots of paper towels, and you just go for it! The hammer is for the crabs legs. I'd never actually had crab legs before (I usually go for prawns or fish), but they were really yummy - though they're annoying to try and extract the flesh from (the bottom photo is an action shot of me doing just that!). Our table was full of Crab, Mussells, Clams, Prawns, Potato, Corn and Kabana. It was delicious! The crab was great, but my favourite was undoubtably the prawns :) A really really great dinner!
After dinner, we were able to catch the 9pm ferry back to Bainbridge Island. Now, I hadn't had any problem with the ferry on the way over. But it was dark now! As we got to the ferry, I started to freak out just a tiny bit! I don't like water and boats very much - and the night/dark combination was one I hadn't thought to consider. I know Emily knew I was nervous, but I don't think she realized just how terrified I was really feeling as the ferry chugged out of Seattle. As the city lights got further and further away I had to through myself into our conversation with increasing gusto in an attempt not to freak out! Seriously, who's idea was the MEXICAN CRUISE! I may have survived the Bainbridge Island ferry, but at least I could always see lights on a shore somewhere - even when they were small - so at least I would have known which direction I needed to swim! What am I supposed to do when the CRUISE SHIP sinks!
I've noticed it's a little better if I'm inside and can't actually SEE the water... mind you, even when I'm inside, I have to be sitting close to a door so I could get out and start swimming if I needed!
BUT - all in all, a FANTASTIC day. I really love Seattle - such a beautiful city. And I love all the water, and the greenery. I loved the tour and the cool underground history. And of course, I loved the company! So much fun just to chill and spend the whole day chin-wagging.
So I'm glad I slept in! Hurricane Ridge and Sequim would have been wonderful, but the city day was perfect :)

The pictures and commentary can't begin to really show how fantastic our day together in the city really was! Definitely one of my best days in Washington state.
And never fear, I've checked the weather for the rest of your time here and it's nothing but cloudy skies and rain! :)
P.S. I think I'll be slipping into an Aussie chocolate coma soon since I've now stuffed myself with all sorts of your goodies.

Yay! Was excited to read about your big day!!! :) It sounds like it was a fantastic day, it must be so much fun being a tourist again!! And fun for Emily to be a tourist in her current home town!!! :) The tour looks awesome - that's a fun history, I love that a random guy accidentally started the fire making glue and was ashamed enough of himself to move interstate and change his name lol. The skylights/decorative tiles are cool too, was the chocolate as good as Cadburys?? I'm all about chocolate factories!! :) I am glad you are having so much fun, can't wait to read more!! Maggie smiles 'hi!' :) xoxox

Tammy, I LOVE THE PHOTOS! And loved reading about your perfect first day. Thank you so much for writing about it all :)
(Didn't it occur to you to allow for jet lag? - funny girl :)
I would have loved the underground tour - it sounds wonderful. Do people live down there?
You do know that it's going to be night at least 5 or 6 times on your cruise? :)
Your meal looks quite uncivilized, when you think about it. Did you get through all of that?
Hi Emily! :)
I hope your days are all as pleasant! :)

I'm laughing as I'm reading your account of the ferry ride in the dark and your postivie self talk - it makes me think of Sydney convention 2001 (??) in Bowral where none of us took warm close and you walked around the whole time chanting your mantra that it was 'brisk and fresh, brisk and fresh'!!!! Such great memories!!!! Keep enjoying lovely lady and I can't wait to read more!!! xxx

Aries Has Arrived!
The fear graph has spiked and all hopes of One America have vanished. But don't worry. Aries is brave and can handle just about anything.
As an Aries Rising for well over half a century with plenty of experience in these conflicting matters I feel I have a choice. I can join in the over-excitement or I can kick back, relax, and anticipate the soon to arrive cool and refreshing leaves of spring. Oh there'll be some blood of Christ thing happening but I've had my fill of religion for the moment so I think I'll decline. As far as primary battles go -- I've primarily been battling all my life. Nothing new. And my rapier is in the shop.So relaxation has won the day!

A public premier show follows on May 1, starting at 7pm. Sabah stands out as the richest State in terms of ethnic and cultural diversity which, however, is often hidden, in deep interior of far-flung coasts or even islands.
Which raises the question: How to make this proud and exclusive heritage visible to the world.
The answer is an annual Sabah Fest which congregates all 32 indigenous groups in one place, dressed in full traditional costumes with a maximum display of their variant cultural elements - such as dance, music, cuisine and handicraft.
Because it is more than two decades old, Sabah Fest has gained a good measure of maturity, with a quality show that comes along with it.
Year in and year out, the big 'do' still surprise visitors and even locals, when they actually see the sharply contrasting depth and extent of ethnic possibilities as organisers take pains to extract real indigenous ethnic groups from their original village roots and concentrate them in one place each year, for a musical theatre style hour-long production based on Sabah's many legends.
As Sabah Tourism Board Chairman, Tengku Datuk Dr Zainal Adlin, has put it: "The beauty is not necessarily in colourful costumes but ethnic authenticity."
Add a unique traditional tolerance to ethnic diversity, Sabah brands itself positively to the outside world who often say they like what they see.
Legends may not be historical facts but they nevertheless tell stories around which musical directors can cast diverse ethnic groups like contrasting characters in one single production.
So the story of this year's legend centres around seven contentious sons of Nunuk Ragang Chief of Tompios, who coveted a mystical stone called Pa'pakang. But only one wins - Aki Lintobon, the youngest son, who succeeded in retrieving it from the river bottom. Being covetous, the brothers fought for ownership of the stone.
The strife stressed Nunuk Ragang who smashed the stone into seven pieces and gave each son a piece to remind them of their heritage and home.
But the even a fair inheritance didn't bring peace either.
Bad times hit, resources in Tompios dwindled, people struggled to make ends meet, fought each other and headhunting to assert supremacy escalated. They attributed the social breakdown and conflict to judgement from the gods, forcing them to migrate to escape the suffering.
The six elder brothers led their people to different parts of Sabah, while Aki Lintobon, the youngest sibling, stayed back in Tompios and vowed to reunite his brothers.
So, the show portrays Aki Lintobon's long wandering voyage or odyssey across the land of ancient Sabah to reunite long lost brothers and the stone of Pa'pa'kang.

To Layla,
im not sure where to begin, so i'll do the best i can to make sense to you. my apologies if i don't get my points across thoroughly.
To begin, i haven't experienced the type of loss you unfortunately have had to deal with, but i do know what its like to lose and miss a loved one. it hurts, and good or bad nobody is ever fully grasps the true beauty of any relationship (family or friends) until its gone. i too have suffered heartbreak and i haven't been in a relationship ever since 06′. i get lonely all the time, and at one point i felt just like you. even now i dont think im ever going to love another girl the way i loved my ex.
but what you have to understand, is that you are ALREADY whole, you are ALREADY complete!!.. you have a lot going for yourself along with a lot of potential, and while its easy to get soaked in negativity and dwell on the past, i recommend you use this freedom that you have to get in tune with yourself. what i mean by that is, take some time to get to know YOU further than you already do. use this time for GROWTH..not only into a better woman, but to grow into the queen that's trapped inside. study your imperfections, because those are essentially what make you perfect 😉
me personally, im an introvert by nature and i have a high tolerance for solitude. I always get lonely, and i know how it can be trusting new people. my advice to you, would be to keep your circle close, and if anyone comes along and you have a sincere interest in them, take it slow and make it last. this way, you'll know if they're worth keeping in your life or not. and you won't be here on your blog wondering why things are the way they are..
your a strong woman, stay safe..
All The Best,

im not sure where to start, so i'll do the best i can to make sense. hopefully i get my points across thoroughly.
to begin, i haven't had to deal with the same losses you unfortunately have had to deal with, but i do know what its like to lose a loved one. as humans we generally take things for granted, and good or bad, never know the truth worth of relationships (family, friends, etc) until they're gone or over with. it really hurts when it's genuine, and unconditional..i can even say i feel the exact same way you do, as far as growing old and lonely. i haven't been in a relationship since 06′ and while its possible, at this point in my life i highly doubt i'll ever love another like i loved my ex.
you seem well grounded and pretty sure of yourself, so while you have this level of freedom, i would humbly ask you use it to your advantage. use this time for GROWTH. get more in tune with yourself not only to become a better woman, but to unlock the queen trapped inside. study YOUR imperfections and keep your circle close knit, because they're what essentially makes you perfect ;).
you have to understand that you are ALREADY whole, you are ALREADY complete. while its easy to drown yourself in negativity, there's nothing wrong with having a good heart. phony people will never go away, and thats just a sad reality. being an introvert i do occasionally get lonely, and luckily i have a high tolerance for solitude. but as a man i'll leave you with this. if there is anyone worth your time, take it slowly and make it last. not only will this give you time to peep game if he's bullshittin you, but you'll have enough room not to make a mistake you could have easily avoided. and as far as love goes, the best things come when you least expect it. and any man that tells you you're the reason he does [insert occupation here] or he only does what he does for you, is either outright lying, or to weak to be trusted. <-(just wanted to throw that in there 🙂 )
you're a strong woman…stay safe.
All The Best,
King Rob
