The Best Valentine's Day Present

Hey, people! Are you looking for a special Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetheart? Give him/her an all-chocolate room. Just imagine, a room with chocolate walls, furniture, pictures on the walls, and even candles on the dining-table.

I wish I could spend a day in such a chocolate room. The only “but” is chocolate tends to melt, I wonder how much time a human being can spend in a chocolate room before it begins to melt. But what an experience! I think it is a great invention!

I do envy Ali Larter who takes part in ads of this unusual Valentine’s gift. She is really lucky!

Is IT Right?

I was wandering along the streets yesterday. There was a thing that shocked me. I saw moms with kids in several places and all of that moms were screaming at their mischievous children. I can’t understand why there is so much cruelty around? Why a mother should scream at or spank her kid for misbehavior?

Well, I am not a mother yet, but I think screaming and spanking is cruel and useless. It leads to nothing but to a child’s tears and screaming in return… I think it is awful!

What to Expect on US Credit Market?

Everyone is concerned about credit crisis and stock market fall in the USA. The Federal Reserve announced about the prime rate reduction. Well, it is good news, on the one hand. Now debtors will have an opportunity to start paying their debt and save some money on interest charges.

But on the other hand, if banks cut interest rates they are sure to raise fees. It is bad news. But we, plain consumers, can do nothing but wait what will happen next.

You can read the article What Are We to Expect on the cRedit card Market and you will learn what experts think about this crisis.

I was Shocked...

Today I was shocked by the news about a woman who tried to kill her newborn twins. It is awful! I always thought that a mother will die for her children if it will be necessary. I thought that a woman who has just born a child should be happy as a queen, and there should be no problems that can keep a new mother from feeling happy about her children. We see all these happy scenes in films, but what we see in reality. Women have become cruel. Every day on TV and in newspapers we see mothers who cruelly beat their children or what is worse who try to kill them. But why does it happen? What makes women do it?

What Is More Important Common Sense or Popularity?

I have recently come across a picture of Victoria Beckham. I was shocked! She is so skinny!

It seems, as if she has been hardly eating something for weeks! It is awful! Doesn’t she understand that she is looking starving!

I think, being skinny doesn’t mean to look beautiful. And the worst thing about Victoria is that she is a mother and a celebrity! What an example she is for her sons and millions of teen-age girls who take after her? Doesn’t she think that starving in order to be skinny like a model-girls, she sets a bad example for teens?

I think she understands it or guesses (at least) about this. But showbiz is cruel! And I think, her desire to keep her fans and even to gain more popularity is much stronger than common sense. I think, the pursuit of world-wide popularity makes many celebs forget about the common sense and keep to silly rules of showbiz. That’s a big problem of our times! Maybe, in the future something will change…

Isn't the Beginning of a New Year Full of Dissapointment?

The beginning of a year is always the time of great expectations and hope for something new and better. But on the other hand, it is the time of big disappointments. It is a kind of paradox. But there are some reasons.

First, you can feel disappointed about the way you have spent Christmas holidays. The researches show that most people expect too much from Christmas. Many wait for a miracle. But then comes Christmas Eve and nothing special happens. The first disappointment.

Then the first bills of a new year come. It is a well-known fact that Americans spend millions and even billion dollars on Christmas presents. In January they receive their credit card bills and see that they have gotten in debt. Well, it is awful, but it is true. So, the first or the first two months we spend in efforts to recover our financial difficulties. It is one more disappointment in the beginning of a new year.

But my biggest disappointment at this time: I have gained 5 pounds during this Christmas holidays. It does make me a lot of trouble. I easily gain weight but it takes me a lot of effort and time to lose it. I think this problem concerns many women. And my weight makes me crazy!

So, begin 2008 year. But I don’t feel happy (at least now) and more, all I feel is great disappointment….

How to Save on Trips an Earn Some Money Back

I am going to visit Prague on my two week vacation this winter. I have never been there. I think, Prague is one of the most beautiful Europe cities. It looks like a fairy-city in winter, and I want to visit this winter Fairyland…

But this post is not about Prague. The topic is a bit different. (Sorry, if I disappoint you.)

I want to talk about Airline credit cards. As I’ve said I am going to travel a bit this winter and my friends advised me to pay attention to credit cards for frequent flyers. I can’t say, I am a true frequent flyer but still I manage to fly somewhere two/three times a year. Well, searching for an airline credit card I discovered that these cards can be quite beneficial. For instance, I chose Miles by Discover card and now I have 0% intro APR for six months and ongoing APR will hardly jump too high. Besides I earn double Miles on travel and 1 Mile for every dollar spent on purchases. I think it is a good offer. Don’t you?

OK, you can give me diamond earrings next time...

Does Horoscope Determine Us in Everything?

Yesterday I met a friend of mine. She is crazy about horoscopes. She reads horoscope every day in a newspaper and she is upset every time something unpleasant is predicted for her. She always finds out what sign her possible boyfriend is and if he is a sign that doesn’t match hers she leaves him. She does believe in all this stuff!

Yesterday she declared me that she found out why she has so many problems with her finance. The reason of all her financial failures is her star sign! It is destiny and she can do nothing about it! She read an article that said, horoscope determines our attitude to money. So, she is a Libra and she is destined to have problems with money. Can you believe in this? I think it is nonsense! I think all this horoscope stuff is one more way to find an excuse for your mistakes. And that’s all.

Drive to work in a group

We are constantly talking about environment pollution. All of us see the side effects the pollution has brought in our life. First of all, it is global warming. Many scientists blame global warming for many recent disasters in the world: floods, earthquakes, drought and conflagrations. You will hardly find a man you hasn’t heard about all these disasters and who has never thought about the pollution. We often hear and discuss the ways to prevent the further environment pollution and save our planet. But why we still do nothing?

I am not talking about global problems and global solutions, but look around. How many traffic jams you see in a city? Just think, how much you can do for the Earth just driving to work with your neighbors or friends? If most of us join someone and drive to work or college or anywhere else with friends or neighbors, there will be less vehicles on the streets. There will be less jams and the air will become cleaner. I think, it is quite convenient and funny to drive with friends. Just think about it. And finally, do something to reduce the air pollution.

Isn't difference is beautiful?

Yesterday I saw Paris Hilton on TV. She had a breast augmentation. I can’t say that she is looking awful now but I think she was prettier without it. Now she is looking the same as many other Hollywood stars. She lost her individuality.

I am wondering why so many people undergo plastic operations today? Why they want to be all alike? The Nature made us different, not alike. And what? Many are striving to some beauty ideal, they go to plastic surgeons and then get similar faces with silicone in lips, equal nose and so on. But what is this beauty ideal? I think, everyone understands beauty in their own way and there can’t be a unanimous ideal. And besides isn’t difference is beautiful?

Christmas is comming!

Christmas is comming! It is all in the air! Everybody is hunting for gifts. So, do I. But I can't decide what to buy. There are lots of things everywhere, but... I can't choose a thing! Everything seems to be trivial and boring... So, I have nothing to do, but to shop and to shop for something special. I wonder, whether everybody have the same problem. Or there are people who always know what to present to their friends and relatives?
