When I feel extravagant it might mean that I am inclined to acquire things as a personal reward for the work I have done. A nice hot bubble bath or spending time savoring the quietness of a secluded place either in my home or in nature can be more rewarding than something I bought. Taking special time will not only make me feel like I deserve to be self-indulgent, but also it will make me feel better about myself. While being self-indulgent occasionally is healthy, I might want to rethink the types of indulgences I give myself.

Since Christmas is coming up, let me share with you My Top 5 Treat List! Well, I have so many things that I desire and want for Christmas. Of course, that never quite happened and my attempts to be the world's greatest Christmas consumer never quite came to fruition.



Dear Santa, this year I've been so good that I should be the angel on top of the tree! There are some things that I would like for Christmas this year and I hope Santa will reply to me faster than reindeer fly!

My list is a mix of necessary, practical and don't-really-need-but-would-love. It includes:

1) Aladdin's Magic Carpet.


It can be used to transport me on it instantaneously or quickly to my destination. Imagine myself floating with the dancing wind, somewhere between the treetops and the clouds; there's no better way to see the Georgia sights around Atlanta than from my Magic Carpet...


2) The self-aware, super intelligent car known as KITT.

KITT's soothing voice that will greet me with various phrases such as, "Hello Michael Monica, where would you like to go today?"

This is the coolest car ever created and people will do anything to get their hands on it. The car has a supercomputer capable of hacking other computer systems, weapons, and its body can shape shift and change colors. Thanks to nanotechnology (and the magic of television). Plus, the car has artificial intelligence so it is the ultimate crime-fighting machine.


3) White Christmas.



I would love to wake up on Christmas morning and be greeted with a white blanket of snow! I am not talking about a "White Christmas" that your boyfriend gives you okay! I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones...


4) Spend a day with Paris Hilton.



Throughout her fame, Paris Hilton has often been compared to Barbie thanks to her slim figure, perfect wardrobe, blonde hair and obsession with the color pink. I wonder what it would be like to have a sleepover with Paris or go on a shopping spree in her new shiny pink Bentley with her! Also, what a slumber party is like in Paris' world.

Pink my ride: Hilton's majestic Bentley Continental GT.

Last but not least, I wish to treat myself to a new laptop!!!

My latest favorite find...


5) The Dell Inspiron 13 laptop.

The design is, in a word, attractive. It combines a simple and clean design encased in glossy, on-trend colors; Obsidian Black, Alpine White and Cherry Red.



I've always wanted a laptop that will be easy to carry anywhere. With a starting weight of just under 5 pounds, it's light enough to tote around during the day and slim enough to fit into my handbag.



Smart features include a 13.3" high definition display, capacitive touch media buttons, 8-in-1 media card reader and slot-load DVD drive. For the gadget geeks, the built-in wireless networking, built-in webcam and Bluetooth connectivity should seal the deal. Enhanced wireless supports up to 802.11n connections. Plus the Dell™ Webcam Central lets me video chat with friends and family with amazing ease. Plus the 16:9 widescreen format means I never have to squint or lean up close to use the Inspiron 13, all inside a sleek design — a perfect balance in an unbalanced world!

The 6-cell battery (56Wh) is surprisingly capable on the Inspiron 13. With the screen set to maximum brightness, wireless on, and browsing the web the notebook squeezed out 4 hours and 9 minutes of battery life. If I'm watching a DVD on it, I'll get somewhere around 3 hours of battery life with the 6-cell.

What's more, with delivering 50% more performance, Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technologies lets me multitask at a whole different level. Overall I have to say that the Inspiron 13 is a visually appealing laptop with solid build quality. That explains why this small, light, highly efficient mobile PC is my next dream treat!

Come to me, Cherry Red! ♥

Hugs and Kisses...

*send my letter to Santa*

Ho Ho Ho! There goes my top 5 treat list I'd like for Christmas. I probably won't get them all, but maybe it is possible that I can get at least one of them, right? We can all dream, can't we?? Sometimes making a list like this is not just an exercise in daydreaming. Close your eyes and scan your past for clues. They're there. Just wait...

Oh, by the way, you can use this special coupon code 7ZQVQF2RLZRKW3 from Dell that would allow any of you to purchase a Dell Inspiron 13 (S510701MY) with RM100 Instant Cash Redemption!! This promotion is only available online or by calling them at 1800-88-0301. So, hurry up!

Until next time, life is such a treat... don't you think?

With lyrics about lost love and heartbreak, Gareth's voice is perfectly suited to this sensational song and he brings out all the emotion in his performance.

Oh, in case you didn't know, he also performed a duet of this song with Siti Nurhaliza at The MTV Asia Awards 2004!

Happy listening!

Wow! It's hard to believe that Sesame Street has just turned 40 years old this year! I remember watching the show as a kid and I'd be captivated by the colorful characters on the screen. I think it's great that if it's still on and they change it to adapt to kids nowadays.

Ralph says his favorite character has always been Elmo and he can clearly remember some of the greatest episodes and episodes on everyone's favorite street.

Ralph & Elmo.

However, my favorite character is Cookie Monster who notoriously demands cookies and devours everything in sight, an action accompanied by the satisfied sound of 'Om nom nom nom.' Even though I'm a little old for Sesame Street now I still love the furry blue dude!

I took this quiz from Blogthings just for fun and here's my result...

You Are Cookie Monster

Misunderstood as a primal monster, you're a true hedonist with a huge sweet tooth. You are usually feeling: Hungry. Cookies are preferred, but you'll eat anything if cookies aren't around. You are famous for: Your slightly crazy eyes and usual way of speaking How you life your life: In the moment. "Me want COOKIE!"

The Sesame Street Personality Quiz

Why I am not surprised? It's all about the cookie, mmm, the cookie, yeah, the cookie! *Om nom nom nom*

Well, I may never see Cookie Monster eat a pipe again, but luckily the memories are preserved on DVD, and in my heart. Happy birthday, Sesame Street. Here's to 40 years more!

So, who is your favorite Sesame Street character? Or what were your favorite shows and characters as a child?
Have a great weekend everyone!

I usually have painted nails. I'm obsessed with painting my nails and I paint my nails a different color every week just because it feels good to me! In the '80s, long pointy nails rocked, and in the '90s, long rounded nails were styling. This season, short red nails are red hot!



What about you? Are your nails usually covered with nail varnish, or do you leave them bare? Like dressing, your nails too speak aloud of your inner personality and mood. So don't forget to take care of your nails. It is not just a style quotient! Nails are perhaps the most seen part of your body. So they have to be kept clean and beautiful while firm as well.

I am sure you have heard of Nails Inc, the world's largest nail bar chain offering quick, affordable, high-quality, branded nail services. Yes, Nails Inc provides a wide range of products that enables you to decorate your nails in different shades, maintain your hands and feet in a proper condition, as well as pamper them in the comfort of your own home. Also, all their high quality range of nail polish and nail care products are available on their website! Don't forget, nail care isn't exclusive to the hands - your feet need pampering too!

I'm currently obsessed with all things trendy and British; bonus points if they're beauty-related. Check out these ten gorgeous limited edition shades which come with a must-have charm each!


Aren't they adorable? Sigh. I LOVE THEM ALL!

The collection comprises five best-selling colors, each named after a London hot spot, plus five brand new hues for SS09. Charms for the London set reflect the brand's British heritage (think black cab, the Crown Jewels and a Union Jack) and the spring/summer shades have a holiday theme (look out for an ice lolly, polka dot bikini and bucket and spade). So whether you're a Shoreditch chick (that's the bright pink polish) or more of a Park Lane princess (that's the purple for you), there's a color that's right up your street. So, which shade do you like best?

Oh, by the way, my brother went on vacation to the UK, Italy and France and of all the things in the world; he bought me that giant strawberry flavored lollipop (pictured above)! What a lovely brother!
