The Woman Who Lost 180lbs

Did you read about the woman who was 300lbs and spent two years exercising and dieting and lost a total of 180lbs to be a slim 120lbs? She became so popular that she has achieved celebrity-like status.

According to reports I read, because of the massive amount of weight she lost, she had to undergo plastic surgery to remove the access skin. I don’t remember what that procedure is called. Is it thermage? Out of the total of 180lbs lost, I wonder how much weight those excess skin carried!

This woman has shown us that with determination, we can achieve what we set our hearts on. I understand that it is not easy to lose weight, let alone lose 180lbs! She is a shining example and an idol now to so many people who are struggling with weighty issues!

Talking about fat and weight, I know I need to do something about myself before I balloon up to 300lbs. Eeekk!!

The Elusive Beauty

I was chatting with a friend about how people do not think twice about getting a plastic surgery. For me, I am afraid to go under the knife so I willingly live with my own imperfections.

I was told that there are people who will get plastic surgery once a year and there are people who treat plastic surgery like fashion. Whatever the reason that people get plastic surgeries, the bottom line is that everyone is chasing after the elusive word called “Beauty”.

Luckily, plastic surgery techniques are very advanced now and no longer do we hear of botch jobs anymore as long as we go to a reputable plastic surgeon! And what happens if a patient suffers from a rhinoplasty that went wrong? That’s easy. Just go and get a bad nose surgery repair!

I think that one should not simply get a plastic surgery just to look perfect because nobody is perfect. However, if it is a necessity due to medical reasons or if it will raise the self-esteem of the person, then by all means go ahead.

Did You Watch The Oscars?

I am not sure how many of you watched the Oscars but that was a night where the cream of the crop of Hollywood boys and girls came out looking their very best. I sometimes wonder, is it possible for people to look so perfect?

I mean, just check out their teeth! They are so perfect and pearly white. By the way, I’ve got insider news that a lot of them are using celebrity teeth whitener HEHE! I tell you, these people are under tremendous pressure to look perfect I am not surprised if some of them underwent a plastic surgery like a facelift in Los Angeles by Profiles surgery center.

What do you think? Is it possible for people like you and I to look almost perfect without undergoing any plastic surgery procedures or make use of enhancers like celebrity teeth whiteners? If it is not possible, then I think we need to start saving money already!

The George Lindemann Fanclub

A couple of nights ago, I went for a drink with a few girlfriends. They were talking about one person by the name of George Lindemann. I did not know who they meant but this person seems to be on the lips of many! Is George Lindemann an American Idol finalist or is he a Presidential election candidate? I am so out of date! I think I have to watch more TV!

I was left out of the conversation most of the time and it was very awkward. I came home and did a check on the web and discovered that George Lindemann Sr., George Lindemann Jr. and their families are actually on the list of the World Richest People according to Forbes.

OK, I think the person my friends were talking about can’t be THIS philanthropist, George Lindemann. Perhaps there’s someone who shares the same name in a one of those reality TV shows like Big Brother or Survivor. Can anyone fill me in?

Freeware / Shareware Fonts n Things

As a webmaster of numerous websites and blogs, I try my best to give each site a fresh perspective. A friend told me that to save time, I should just use the same template, colours, images and fonts for my sites. Naw… I’d rather have everything different because each site has its own topic and carries its own personality.

Websites like Fonts n Things are good for me and people like me who wants to use different elements for our sites yet unwilling to pay for them. Fonts n Things allows us to use these fonts and image objects.

Fonts n Things did not create any of these fonts or objects but went around the web collecting them so that lazy people like me need not go around searching. All these items are either freeware or shareware. If you want to use them for your projects, read the Terms of Use first.

Friendly Baby & Parenting Resource Site

A couple of hours ago, I had the chance to check out Gurgle.com, a community-centric baby resource site where members gets to share photos of their babies and toddlers on the free baby photo gallery and get information from the various articles on the site at different stages of their pregnancies, watch videos or get your questions answered.

Although I am not a mother myself, I have many friends who are work at home mothers with babies to take care of. These are hands-on modern ladies who opted out from the corporate world so that they can be totally involved in the upbringing of their children.

Gurgle.com would be a great site for these friends. I was just browsing through the database of articles casually but one article that caught my eye is on how to administer basic first aid on the baby. I think that this is very important for every parent to know should an emergency happen at home.

Another article is on traveling with a baby that my friend, Doris, would find useful. She has just returned from Hawaii and Singapore traveling with her family and she tells me that it is very stressful and sometimes spoils her mood of getting a well deserved holiday. I think she is not alone in this!

Highly Rated Online Casinos

A couple of my friends earn their pocket money by gambling in online casinos. I have always wondered if that is possible, but they will not disclose anything more to me except that, yes, it is possible. They told me that I should do my own research. I guess they do not want me to blame them should I lose money. They know me too well! Haha!

Anyway, I was told to check out OnlineCasinoLinks.com where I can read about the many a popular online casino and at the same time, check out which are rated the highest by professional players.

So far, I have only been playing as if it were a game and have never taken it seriously but now that I have discovered that we can make a quick buck from online gambling, I will be more diligent in my homework. First of all, I will have to read through all the online casino reviews found on OnlineCasinoLinks.com
