Business card

Yesterday, a woman gave me her card as I left a party. I don’t think I need professional make-up, so I’m guessing she wants to meet-up.

Why don’t I have a business card? My friend Grace offered to design me one.

I am an art-handler, and I possess all the skills associated with moving, wrapping, transporting, installing and de-installing artwork. I’m very good at my job and have been receiving offers to free-lance. It would facilitate future work and be just plain professional to have a card. It’s part of my job, really.

Frustrating

I notice some of my friends are type of people who never listen. They usually dominate the conversation and once we want to throw new idea they always said they already knew it. Like reading the book, they only want to read the front page or summary page..They never read whole book and thinking they already know the content of the book from it..It's really hard to deal with them. More difficult if they are our boss since every time we do is always wrong. What do you think? How to deal with those people who never listen?

Dove "My Mini Moment" contest

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dove Ice Cream. All opinions are 100% mine.

My mother “Amanda” is one of the hardest working single mothers that I know. As children growing up she would sacrifice her own happiness to make sure that we (her children) were taken care of. My mom is extraordinary. She took care of our grandmother when she became ill and at the same time still worked full time and provided for me and my sister.



According to a survey conducted by Dove Ice Cream Miniatures, I'm not alone! In a survey of over 400 mothers, 70 percent say they take time for themselves each day! Wahoo! It's good for your body, mind, and soul. And surprisingly, it's really good for your family too. A happy mom makes a happy family. I still believe in having a "me time". It is important for mom to have time for herself in order to recharge and rejuvenate.

Dove Ice Cream Miniatures has launched an exciting new promotion: "My Mini Moment" contest. DOVE Ice Cream is asking women to share their favorite mini moment of escape and one lucky winner could win one of 3 sensational mini-grand prizes:

• a mini-getaway to Napa Valley
• spa services for a year
• mini-home makeover

To enter, women need to submit a photo and short essay at DoveIceCream.com/myminimoment by June 7, 2010 (include attached photo of contest microsite). I believe it’s a wonderful opportunity for all mothers out there.

There are new DOVE chocolate products that moms are sure to enjoy. Their Cafe Collection includes Java Chip and Cappuccino flavors.

two kinds of lie

I remember when I was a kid than my father usually told me that there are two kinds of lie. a good one, and a bad one. for long time, I can not grasp his idea of lies. if there are good lies, why is it still called lie and I know that lying is a sin. but I found out as I grow up that lie is a lie, whether it benefits you or not.

my conscience always haunts me whenever I tell lies whether a small lie or a bigger one (although the bigger one bugs me more) and hence, as much as possible, I tell the truth even if it hurts me or someone, even if he/she is a notorious liar. for me, being honest and in the side of truth is better than hiding or keeping something 9especially in a relationship).

This is my question: Does the honesty of another person have an impact of how honest you are to them? Would you be less truthful to a person who is known for being a notorious liar, or would you still treat them with an equal level of honesty?

How old do you need to be to be considered elderly?

I was recently thinking, and this question occured to me. Where do I draw the line before I consider a person old?

For me, it's a difficult question to answer. It appears that the older we grow ourselves, the further away we consider this line defining "old age". Is this in-denial, a way for people to avoid the fact that they are no longer as young as they would wish to be? Or is it that we just never consider ourselves to be elderly? As I'm still relatively young, this isn't a problem for me, yet when I talk to other people like relatives, that line of old age always seems to increase the older they get themselves.

Then there's the problem of physical age and mental age. I've met 70 year-olds who still act 20, and 20 year-olds who act 70. The phrase "young at heart" springs to mind here.

My question is, at what age is this elderly line for you? Beyond what age would you consider somebody to be old? And do you usually judge this based on how old they appear physically or how old they act mentally?
