A Singapore Stir

Ok, I got the location right, there’s without a doubt a tremendous effort here to get things done right, something’s burning, there’s food but a fat chance that the guy’s a good cook and there’s balance...although...is there? Perhaps all together a day that people don’t want to be reminded of?

Fat Burners, Fat Chance

What goes up must come down. And what goes down will go up, even if you don’t want to. If you’re not careful. Confused? You might get a clear head –or conscience- if you find the missing link between those two. Balance is the word. Balance; the merciless altar for everyone who’s using fatburners like ephedra diet pills. If diet pills help, it will be for a short term. They might burn some fat, in the beginning, but also slow down your metabolism. Giving you your old weight and wrangle back. Balance; for what you’ll get as a result of having a sensible lifestyle. We all know what that means. But a growing number of people simply doesn’t want to be reminded. In that way leaving out the best fat burner available to each one of us; our head.

Being Pushed For Pizza

Finding the right information, in time, in a secure way, with all those fish in the ocean of the world’s wide web is still a handful. Sharks might be phishing, just to mention one crack that might be the start of a real tsunami flushing you away. I think I might skip a visit to the aquarium this weekend. And stay home, order some pizza.

The Dynamics Of Directories

Like in the days of Yellow Pages, a web site directory of today can be of great help. Because a clear display of categories always will. But to what extent a real value can be given to both of them remains to be seen. To my humble opinion, speaking of giving direction, the word of mouth is hard to beat. I’ve to admit that location is one of the prime things needed to get that mouth talking. No matter the quality you might have to offer; being unknown makes unloved. And like with having a good hand in picking friends, having a nose for the right place to be can never be a bad thing either.

In Pursuit Of Power

An important thing to remember, if you’re thinking of trying something new and powerful, is to find yourself a good instructor. These two guys are not my first choice for obvious reasons.

Wheels That Give A Whirl

Do you remember my first step to find a rv, way back? Well, I’m still not a RVer. Despite not being born in a country that does have a rv tradition I might have been a potential owner of one without being aware of it. But big fun as they still seem to me, practical matters such as size, rv repairs and maintenance have been that daunting they have kept me away from getting more information. Who knows, once I’ve returned to the Emirates the sand dunes overthere and a more moderate machine like a buggy will give me plenty of space and opportunity to get used to bigger wheels one day.

Some Seconds In Singapore

Just twelve seconds, but a good impression of what’s available concerning exotic usb drives. For people like me who are able to misplace them in a rather limited space such as a bag. Some make me hungry though. As far as I know, I’m in Singapore right now. Better find something to eat. Can’t be difficult.

The Uplift Of Useful USB’s

Moving more than once lately, packing and unpacking a suitcase and the usual bags, everything that’s small and light weighted is more than welcome. Not everything that meets those points are also useful. But usb drives are, without a doubt. Without them I almost would feel naked, like when not using make-up. That might sound funny, but I can assure that not having my documents, pictures and back-up within reach gives me that akward feeling. That brings me to the only downside of these marbles that I know: they have become that tiny and thin I often need a second look and a sudden outburst of persperation before I find them. I’m still thinking of one of those exotic shaped ones that can’t be overlooked. I’ll come to that when my head stops spinning, and I know in which airport I’m sitting.

Give Full Scope To Score

What’s exactly going on in this clip isn’t clear, but it has to do with a game and binoculars. They seem not to be very focused. And the final score might be next to nothing. I might do better. I might have targeted a job. In the dying seconds. I’ll keep you posted.

Binoculars And Birds

Having commuted for a while here in Abu Dhabi and passed patches of desert I more than once wondered how much real wildlife one could find overthere. After having met some expats and locals I’ve come to the conclusion that without a topnotch guide, a 4 x 4 vehicle and let’s say some Nikon binoculars and a stroke of luck, one better goes to the Al Ain Zoo to get a glimpse of what might be crawling, flying and running around in Dhabi’s desert. I myself, might not be around in this area much longer. If my safari for finding Big Game, a job, won’t be successful, I’ll have to return home soon in one of those shiny big birds with long white tails.

Become Of Age Or Androids

How far will we remain human, as we are till this very day? And how far will we become androids one day? Do we account pacemakers or any other organ transplantation and the use of artificial limbs as a first step, or a last? And who’s going to decide if one way or the other is right or wrong?

The Agenda Of Age

Time’s ticking for all of us. Even in the days that time, a human invention, didn’t exist. The lifespan of those ancestors of ours, who didn’t live by the clock, we can only speculate. It can’t be long, not to our standards. But they passed on some genes with such a potential growth in flexability and endurance that we got more and more people who live for a century. That might be five generations of those ancestors. Can we stretch it even further? We might. If we keep an eye on the best anti aging products that surround us: a good diet and plenty of exercise. Common sense will help, keeping an agenda of age. Last but not least: a dash of luck. And appreciate all that.

A Tenacious Tissue

Still feeling a bit guilty for devouring yesterday’s lasagna, perhaps Italy’s most unhealthy but divine dish that needs more than one single tissue to remove all the Hedonism, got me to this clip. It’s Italy, it looks pretty darn hot to me, and there’s a tissue... To prevent bad things is one thing, but some people exaggerate. I wonder if it’s not related to some kind of hypochondria?

A Treatment For Torturous Tissue

Recent pain in the joints made me think of rheumatism. Although I’m not a hypochondriac, a rather (too) obvious thing to do. But there seem to be several hundreds of different forms and causes of arthritis. The only similarity between them is that they’re very common, cause a chronic pain and the difficulty to find the right treatment. Therefore, a treatment for arthritis, if that’s what’s bothering me, I hardly can expect in the very near future. One beam of hope; it’s said that hot climates help to suppress the inflammations. And it’s so freaking hot down here, it surely helps my joints staying free of torturous tissue?

What’s In A Fridge?

The answer to the question what’s in a fridge can be a surprising one. Most of us are having one and like to see it loaded with our favorites. I don’t want to split hairs, but beer most be the most searched for item in the fridge by men. But did you know that beer is a very wholesome treat for hair?

How To Host Hair

The best shampoo for hair loss won’t be found in any barber shop, supermarket, drugstore or online, simply because there isn’t such a shampoo available. Despite what some manufacturers want you to believe. The thing that comes close to it, is the moderate use of any non agressive but mild shampoo. Being aware of what hair actually is, how fragile it is, how it grows and how it falls out, will limit if not ban the use of certain hair killers such as hair dryers and hair coloring, and will help to maintain what you have got on the scalp. And while you’re staring in the bathroom sinc to another cluster of hair, you might have a look into the medicine cabinet as well. And the fridge. Both can store not very hair friendly items as well. But that’s something you better discuss with your doctor or dietician. Meanwhile; keep your hair on.

Folly And Funny Fab Faces

Some Fab Faces here that are never foul or empty headed but always entertaining, highly original and funny.

Having A Cough And Collywobbles

How to launch a new name in the ever so crowded market of weight loss products? And have a pole position in mind right from that start? Find a pretty face, some most have thought. But that had been done zillion of times. Till some brilliant mind coughed up that it might be awesome to get three pretty faces. And let them do what they’re best at: doing nothing in particular. If you don’t know who I mean, click here. But the products of which they are the figure-heads, but likely don’t use themselves, as well as the soap in which this illuminative trio appears in, aren’t much more than a combustion of useless, in some cases even dangerous and skin deep ingredients. But they might get away with it, as long as you cough up for their expenses.

A Clip To Combat Calories

If you got the stomach for it, the patience of a saint (it requires 8 minutes of your time) and will top it with honesty, who knows, it might start the engine burning calories after having seen this clip.

A Hard Belly Needs A Hard Stomach

Where belly fat might be burned away rather easily, all things concerned, getting rid of stomach fat needs a far more severe approach. Backbone of this all is a cross-over of having a hard liner mentality and the patience of a saint topped with honesty. The hard liner’s part is the engine, the patience its fuel and the honesty is the supervisor to interrupt and to alter if necessary. And it will be necessary, because it’s a long and painful way. Mentally and physically. The key to start it running is in your own hands only. Nobody else’s.

A Shady Stairs

Ok; I got a hell of a stairs for you here. The most free and best fat beating human invention, worldwide available. There’s something of perseverance as well. And a banana, for a wholesome intake. Watch your step.

No Beating Bushes, Beating Belly Fats

There are a few things about the struggle of losing weight that I wasn’t aware of. One of them: there are different kinds of fat. I’ve grown up with the term ‘baby fat’, with an obvious meaning. Then there also was ‘lazy fat’. Recently, I’ve to understand this latter one is the same as what’s called ‘belly fat’ or ‘visceral fat’. In the struggle for how to get rid of belly fat there should be ‘burning calories’ on top of anyone’s list. That means the horror for all lazy people: be moderate with the taking in, and generous with exercise, and keep on doing it, till you drop. Like your weight will. No pills, no beating about the bush. Just sweat, tears and perseverence.

A Perfect Paranoia

How a game becomes a reality beyond 3D shows the 1997 film The Game. Some Perfect Paranoia to watch safely on the couch this weekend. Don’t lose your (remote) control!

Coming Soon: Hard Digest TV

The very recent introduction of the first Google-powered tv unveiled the next step to what will lead to the inevitable end of the PC, as we know it today. The latest generation of flat-screened HDTV has more than an irresistible skin-deep beauty; it houses more and more the necessary applications to make a clean sweep in practically all rooms of a house. Technically speaking, all these ‘multi-functional centres’ as they’re going to be, are (soon) available and ready to blow your (3D) glasses of the face. Bottle necks might be the expected ball of quarrelsome manufacturers, and the eternal slow apply of software. So, keep your shirts on for a while. Practice makes perfect though: once you got such an All Purpose Power that will detect every move in your home, you might be exposed unshaven and undressed. 3D and all. That might become hard to digest.

A Steal And A Smirk

Ok, I got a Japanese giant, some slim guys who’d better make a run for it, and a smirk on the face, that should stand for a splendid evening of tv entertainment at home.

Stands, Sets And Smirks

With the ever getting slimmer hdtv’s, a pencil hardly can lay on top of one, you might get in trouble to find matching tv stands. There’s one Japanese giant who’s publications show a very nice one that goes very well with the sleek plasma’s and lcd’s of today. But there’s no mentioning of where to get one of those. So, there’s still a run to a local skilfull carpenter necessary with a copy in hands to get the required set at home and a smirk on the face.

Something Old, Something Bold

Technology can be a fusion of something old and existing with something bold and eccentric. It might take light-years, a split second or sheer coincidence, but when it has arrived it usually has some impact on human kind. In a ghastly or glorious way.

Tracks Of Technology

It can’t be a surprise that technology jobs are in the midst of anyone’s focus these days. Then again, the skills to florish in this field are of any time, think of, for example, blacksmiths a millennium ago. That might not sound hitech to you, but for the people living in those days it was. Top-notch researchers and engineers of just a flimsy five decades ago won’t have been able to get more than a glimpse in that intelligent mind of theirs of what’s surrounding us today, to such an extend that it doesn’t even make our heads turn. However we, in our fast and constantly changing world, might have to deal with a new generation of technology jobs in for instance agriculture, energy and healthcare that we only can dream of. For now. But maybe it’s there tomorrow.

Time For A Tune

Like Knopfler says/sings: there are many reasons why sending postcards from Paraguay. Or from any other place on earth, for that matter. Here’s one for you all, just for the love of a pretty tune.

Personalized Prints Beyond Platitude

In this age of international contacts through webcams, email and chats, just to mention a few options, the photo holiday cards have established themselves a pretty neat niche. Something that’s tangible, personal and one-of-a-kind remains a charming way to share something that’s about to happen or just happened with someone special. Or just to say thank you in a more appreciative fashion. We might not be all inventive and creative individuals, but we don’t have to. The variety of available cards and the tools to get them personalized will make it easy and awarding, for both, the sender and recipient.

The Lickerishness Of Lips

How appealing can merchandise to get weighed be? How sly or stone cold one has to be, to reject the offer? Or, for that matters; how calculating the one who makes the offer? What’s a reasonable expire date for this rather ‘naturel’ product? A split second or a life long?

Weighing, Wobble And Wondering

I’m not very sure, but I got the feeling that the invention of scales was way ahead of the invention of the wheel. I might be wrong, but human kind has been bothered that long with measurements in trade, aka making money or rake in any other benefit, that I would be amazed if proven wrong. The outcome of what those scales tell us however has been a point of many denials and accusations at markets, shops and even at home almost since the day the first apple was sold. Or was it given away? From mustard seeds to weigh gold with, to traditional springs or relying on futuristic solar energy; they’ll be with us like those wheels, keeping us weighing, wobble and wondering.

Wobbly Wires

Amazingly solid as steel constructions might be, they still are as strong as the weakest link. Once that weakest link got punched, they might fall into pieces. Almost to the day, this bridge had its Swan Song seventy years ago. Looking at it, it makes me feel wobbly, I might not visit tall buildings for a while.

The Punch Of Pre-Fab

Having been on top of the highest building of the world not that long ago, it has changed my mind about steel buildings. Because, whatever the exterior of such an edifice tells you, its backbone remains solid steel. For some reason the view up there made me understand and appreciate the full potential of pre-engineered constructions. It’s not merely a playground for muscled men and mean machines. It delivers safe places to work and to live in, and at the same time, awesome enough to visit.

A Bunch Of Bitty Bizarre Birds

Some more birds here of many strange feather, and some even without. Also wearing very original accessories, having sense for rhythm, choreography and not lacking a number of human traits.

Gaga In Galore

How much lady gaga tickets will be appreciated depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re after being entertained with a tsunami of the weirdest but well designed outfits (I personally like her guts, or is it her team?) and rather well choreographed dances, and like some controversial themes, up and off the stage, won’t mind the flimsy musical standard, then those tickets will be hailed. If the visual show is too much to take in and the music gets you gaga, you better find something else to entertain you.
