THORNS AND ROSES

Life is full of beautiful sweet smelling roses that lit up a room, a loved one's face and decorates nature, yet right underneath it lays countless prickling thorns. Life is as it is, nothing is perfect. Though smell the roses enough and we won't mind having blood paid for the scent...

Finally!!! my ass sits....

ironically when it should have been a non stop day actually allowed me to have emily-has-a-lil-time-to-squeeze-in-PC-fun, although my left side of the face is throbbing in pain still. yup, another wisdom tooth plus root canal work done today. that would make it 3 root canals and 2 wisdom tooth extractions for the year of 2007! WhooPee! =( (man, i really need to start regular checkups)

so yeah, malaysia finally came out with a decent health mag SXXXX.(yes i know im a lil late on blogging about it. blame work =P HA! )
now those who know about SXXX would know that it has actually been around for a very very loooong time, even in singapore, "we" decided, apparently, that now its the time to start educating these people.
one thing they failed to "think", its a fucking Malaysian Mag! not US mag.
I'm reading articles in the malaysia edition going "where the hell have i read this???"
then it hits me "OH YEAH, ON THE US VERSION 3-4 MONTHS BACK!"
dont get me wrong, everytime i see a educational section on health in the papers and mags for the local printings, i feel happy for them.
but to CUT and PASTE? including Trainer Tips and Expert Tips whom are not even living in the country?
the nutrition advices are even funnier at times, as their food suggestions do not even cater to what the country offers really
read Singapore's edition if you havent, all their expert and speaking models are from or residing in the damn country. Hardly all cut and paste (though i must say having an entire "workout" program riding that "horseback-straddling machine" is absolutely hilarious!)

yes im a magazine freak. tho startin to get tired of the ads they have on every other page.
these times, you're pretty much buying a thick pad of catalogs with a few articles PROMOTING those products.
still great that they are putting a lot of articles on breast cancer awareness and diabeties.
now how about they put it the Newspaper where EVERYONE can AFFORD to buy?
wouldn't that be a smarter idea than to put a section on all the greatest food in the country and which places are the best?
see the headliners now "BEST PLACE TO GET THE FAT IN YOUR RICE!!" (Nasi Lemak = Fat Rice)

*sigh*...exhausted...
cant wait til Christmas season for some spirit lifting
