Polyvore

(Kukai's creation @ Polyvore: Ready For The Ball)

When I’m online, I usually check my emails at Yahoo or Gmail, then see if I have messages from my Friendster and Facebook accounts. I do my researches online, too, to update me of what's new in the Nursing world. And since I’ve been a blogger for some months already, my day is not complete without checking my blog and my online friends’ blogs, too. Recently, Polyvore was introduced to me by my friend – and I got hooked on it right away. It was really fun doing virtual shopping. I never thought that it would feel like I was really shopping some fancy designer clothes, hehe. And I’ve realized that doing this releases my stress, too. As of now, I’ve created a set not only for myself but for my husband and daughter, too.

Smallville

I’m so crazy over Smallville, I never missed one episode from season 1 up to season 7. Season 8 is still to be aired, and it’s kinda been killing me, hehe. I guess I still have one more month to wait. This is the only ‘Superman’ series that I really admire. I fell in love with the main characters, Clark Kent, played by Tom Welling, and his love interest, Lana, played by Kristin Kreuk. Of course, I want his best friend Chloe to be there for my Superman, too. I also like how Lex Luthor, portrayed by Michael Rosenbaum, delivers his intelligent lines. I’ve been an avid follower of the TV series eversince I was still pregnant with Chloe. How I 'd love to see Lana’s beautiful face on the screen. But I don’t get me wrong, I didn’t name my daughter Chloe just because the best friend of Clark Kent happens to be named Chloe. I already had that name in mind even before I got hitched-- I got it from a popular line of perfume, see? Anyways, Smallville became more exciting to watch when some of the Justice Leaguers were introduced in Season 6 (and didn't you love Green Arrow, too? ). I was just a bit sad when I learned that Lana’s character will not be regularly seen on season 8. But whatever story will turn out , I will always be a fan of Smallville :)

Hello Kitty

I love Sanrio products, most especially Hello Kitty. I can still vividly recall the days when I was so fond of this cutie cat, with a yellow nose and who wore a red ribbon and a red overalls. I was in 2nd grade at that time and my mom even opened a bank account for me with a Hello Kitty passbook. But, oh well, the bank closed. And the Hello Kitty Fad disappeared.
It was in late 90’s or early 2000 that the Hello Kitty craze came back – with a vengeance! Obviously, they have widened their line because even adults like me were still attracted with their products – or maybe I was still a kid at heart or simply just a big fan of this kikay feline.
And Hello Kitty was sporting a new and different look, because maybe she found it too boring to wear only the same old color – red. And she came with a partner, too! Dear Daniel was there maybe to make her life more exciting. Hello Kitty was wearing pink color most of the time or sometimes, purple and blue for Dear Daniel. Their lines expanded not only as stuffed toys but you can also see them made of telephones, clocks, t-shirts, shoes, watches and even guitars, too!

McDonald’s food chain even attracted buyers of these cuddly kitties and was sold like hotcake! In fact, I actually owned 4 Hello Kitties in 1 week. Now, I am just too glad that I have a daughter in whom I can pass the ‘toys’ I once owned. She loves Hello Kitty, too. So at least, we have something in common.
