Beauty has sadly been defined as the latest Hollywood star, sex appeal and fashion trend. Spiced up with reality shows like Extreme Makeovers and the Next Super Model. It is cultivated in our minds that beauty means a perfect figure, a tight ass and flawlessness.
Having watched Shallow Hal on telly last night, I was moved by the simplicity and forthrightness of the underlying lesson that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. True that outer beauty only lasts as long as youth and anti-ageing cosmetics are in favour of us. But inner beauty shines through the foundation, mascara and six pack abs anytime and day
Well, I'm not one to be late for personal appointments. But for some reason, when it comes to work and arriving on time to the office, I'm almost always late.
Thank gawd for the flexi-hours policy the company has recently adopted, which enables the Y-Generation (people like yours truly) who don't quite see the point of strict times to be in or out of the office, as long as the required number of hours are clocked in and the work gets done. We all work late anyways, so that should make up for time loss of coming in late, surely
The "Butterfly Effect", or more technically the "sensitive dependence on initial conditions", is the essence of chaos.
Decisions, people, acquaintances, heartbreaks, death, birth... maybe, we wouldn't be where we are right now if it hadn't been for all that. It signifies the saying "everything happens for a reason".

Ultimately, the "maybes" are endless
With longer working hours than ever before, what's a modern singleton to do other than glance over to the next office or cubicle to find true love? However, "never dip your pen into company ink" seems to be the current battle cry when it comes to office romances. And yet, there seem to be an increasing number who are willing to forgo the rules and office romances blooms.
I am not speaking for myself here, for obvious reasons that there aren't any worthy single available men in the office!! But my personal opnion is, wouldn't it be a little too stifling to have your beau within 50 yards away from you in an 8 hour workday. And then, lunchtime spent together and after work dinner dates... The relationship would be intense and densed, spending every minute together. Urgh... What happens to "distance makes the heart grow fonder
Loving and respecting all religions and images of God doesn't mean that you have to agree with all their doctrines. In fact, you don't even have to believe and agree with every element and doctrine of any religion! Everybody thinks that what they are doing is right. Everybody is doing something different, and each one believes deep in his soul that what he believes is right — some with more contemplation and conviction than others.
There are those who wish to distort and subvert the true meanings of religions, to drive communities apart, to create chaos and violence.

You know you're one of "them", a cyber dweller, or a more sexier term for it these days - a "technosexual", when your life depends on your usual dose of a tall skinny latte from Starbucks (caffeine-rush!) whilst logging on simultaneously to MSN Messenger, MySpace and emails - be it on the MacBook, Blackberry or Nokia phone. And all with a flick of the wrist!
It becomes your daily routine, one you just simply can't do without
