Everywhere I read, blogs are getting ranked by the latest Google PR update. So far, this blog has not been given any PR. Honest, not that it matters much because I’m not doing the mortal sin of paidpost whoring on this blog. At least that’s the mortal sin if you were to abide by the Holy Law of GOooogle.

So, why am I disappointed? Human nature at work. Everybody’s blog are getting ranked so it just get a little lonely when I’m left at the bottom of the PR-less pit all alone. Blek.

2nd disappointment? The Mood lotion I ordered from Victoria Secret is not exactly my scent. Correction, I hated the scent. That is the pitfall of online ordering. You cannot smell your purchase. The next guy who can replicate scent over the internet is going to be a millionaire genius.

Not that anyone would care because those who mattered don’t know about this blog, but then I just feel I want to list them down just for the heck of it. Everyone financially challenged will have a wishful wishlist. If you have one and it’s something money can buy, you’re just normal. Normal as in not filthy rich.

OK, I don’t want any gadget. Screw gadgets. New models are being churned out every month so who can keep up?

I want to go

1. Disneyland. Any Disneyland except the one in Hongkong.

2. Egypt. God I love that place. I probably will go next year but then I don’t want to sound too confident and end up shooting myself on the foot. Worse, die of disappointment if I don’t make it.

That’s it. I’m not greedy. But the question is, does not being greedy matters? Will my lucky stars shine brighter just because I’m more easily contented? Guess not.

So, I’m going to add 2 more. I want to lose alot of weight and I want Patrick Dempsey.

Don’t know why I thought of Patrick. Probably watched Enchanted and got mesmerized by those eyes. Blek.

I have finally decided to take down my profile picture and replace it with this Mardi Gras mask. It has never been my intention to blog anonymously on this blog but the recent Google smackdown on paid posts had prompted me to take this route.

Firstly, nope, I’m not doing any sponsored posts on this blog. But then I had heard enough horror allegations about blogs discriminately got blacklisted by Google because the blogger had done sponsored posts on their other blogs. I do write sponsored posts on my other blogs so I will play safe and try to disassociate this blog as much as possible from my other blogs that do paid posts.

I don’t want to sound paranoid acting on all those conspiracy theories and hunches but then it’s better to be safe than sorry.

I am lately hit with this sudden insane need to be enveloped in the vanilla scent 24/7. Yep, it’s driving my hubby crazy. No, not in a good sense. He hates it.

I blame it on my recent diet where depravity of sugary stuffs probably trigger an even more need to be covered in sweet sugary scent. I used to get my kicks from Body Shop’s Vanilla range. Somehow some genius up in the Body Shop boardroom made the decision to discontinue the Vanilla range. Yes, they still keep the Vanilla perfume oil but the Vanilla lotion is gone… together with the spray.

In my desperate bid to be sickly sweet, I started looking around for alternatives. I found one brand called Demeter but Victoria Secret (the reseller) don’t deliver them outside US. In the end, I settled for this lotion from VS called Mood - Sweet Craving and Vanilla Orange bodywash.

Can’t wait for them to arrive at my doorstep. I sure hope I won’t be disappointed. According to their description, Sweet Craving is a combination of Vanilla and sugary scent. Dang, I’m game hearing that. No idea what they actually smells like though. That is the downside of purchasing scents over the net. You can’t smell them to know for sure.

Talking about sweet sugary stuffs, I find that smelling all sweet does satisfy my sweet tooth and keep me from breaking my diet. Heck, if I can’t eat it, at least I still can be smother in it. Maybe I’m psychologically satisfied. Whatever rocks my boat, right?

Aesthetic wise, I do find I have more love to blog when I actually like my own blog. Liking my blog starts with liking what I see. I’ve spent the whole night, even forgoing my paidposts to find a WP theme that I find appealing.

I did like a few of the themes but then realistically, some are just too hard to change and modify the design. It is important for me to find themes that are modification-friendly. It’s a bitch when WP designers use CSS background image instead of mere html ones.

After trying on at least 3 other theme design, I settled for this in the end. It’s a plus I don’t have to modify much. I just changed the banner.
