ODDLY GLAD!

September 29, 2007

One of the probable reasons why I haven’t visited this blog is because there’s nothing much to write about. It would be inspiring to write something new or big that transpired in the recent past, and even some unfortunate events would be something to rant about, BUT NO! It’s been a monotonous and uneventful moment for me. My only consolation, I guess, is that no untoward events have happened and that leading a boring daily routine is better than facing a bad one.

I’ve read several time in newspaper opinion columns how other journalists think negatively about blogs. Some think that the advent of this medium have proven to be misleading and there’s really nothing to read about but people’s rantings or some nonsensical composition of words not really worth the read- crap for short! I agree to a certain extent the bitter reality to it. There is no replacing reading the newspaper hard facts if you want serious guided news. However, I also believe that without information from the net, it wouldn’t be what it is today without everyone sharing information, thoughts and idea in the cyber universe. Newspaper, radio and tv which used to be “trimedia” is limited compared to the internet medium in its entirety. I wonder how they coin it now? Have somebody arrived to a new word to replace the “trimedia” yet? People should have already felt the weight and importance of internet that the word trimedia should already be passe. Blogs and other internet spaces have proven its worth in our world and just like the universe, it is expanding more than how we imagine it to be. Is it apt that they call it quadmedia?

Personally, I wouldn’t know much about other minority cultures without this medium. I wouldn’t learn about the top charts in the US and UK or the latest flick, have it not been for the information I’ve gotten from the webby. I wouldn’t have an insight of how other nationalities think about some issues or their personal take on certain matters that are of interest to me as well. 

Truth is, I’m looking forward for the next 10 years onwards. For a pessimist like me, it’s odd to look forward to anything. So I’m glad I discovered this optimism. I’m curious about how our world will be like. Are we nearing starwars era? Perhaps a notch closer!

The 256mb flashdisk which I bought in 2003 recently broke. So I had to buy a new one. Just imagine my dismay when I learnt that a 1gig imation flashdisk only costs PhP866 or roughly US$18 compared to the generic 256mb flashdisk I bought for PhP2200 (US$47) 4 years ago. And it is even a quarter smaller and slicker than the previous one I have. And see how this Sony VAIO I received from my sister in 2003 which is already awkward to flaunt outside the comfort of my room today.

Truth is, I’m not really into acquiring gadgets as I know it is an expense on the verge of obsolescence the moment .2versionesh goes out of the market. But I would love to own anything new (gadget related) except that I’m not willing to shell out a cent for it unless it’s really necessary to have one. I’m not even ready to dispatch my Nokia 6100 yet or my RCA MP3 only because I think that it still serves its purpose. But I’m craving for any new generation IPod! Tempting but I’m sure my contra-wanting-self will rise above the wanting-self.

You have to pay attention to many aspects to make your ornaments look new. 25 Tokens Why You Should Embellish tiffany co Every Day
Do not touch it usually: the fact that wearing jewelry can retain clean is simple but not easy. Salma Hayek’s tiffany co , Take a Look and Make a Comment Many people see that the jewelry is beautifual and charming so that they can not help touch the surface of the jewels, which will affect the shininess and brightness of the jewels. Water and oil are constantly excreted through the skin from inside of the body, and hands are the easiest to touch the body, thus hands are often contaminated by the oil on the skin. When we`re touching diamond, oil from hands is likely to stay and then affect the gloss and brightness. Especially diamonds that belong to oil-soluble jewels are easily contaminated by the oil, which will affect the shininess to a great degree. However, white jade belongs to the aggregate structure, so touching it often can make the quality of the jade more moist and lovely. Running water do harm to the luster of the pearls: some people want to clean and maintain them after wearing them a few times, but they don`t know that using running water to wash pearls do less harm to the pearls. But it matters very much when you soak pearl with tap water. Because there is a certainty amount of chlorine in tap water, it will hurt the surface brightness of pearl; in fact soaking pearl with mineral water is fine. Besides, before the pearls are sent to the deposit box in the bank after they are worn, they should be cleaned and maintained so that they won’t change color because of long accumulation of dirt later. But for the deposit box preserving bills and documents, the relative humidity is low so that its deposit condition is not suitable for moist jewels such as pearls. Therefore, the pearls should be taken out at regular intervals and be immersed for maintanence and moisture suppiment.You May Not care These When Conserve tiffany co
Taking off the jewelry in due time is also a kind of maintenance; The proper way to wear jewelry is to change it or take it off frequently according to different situations, although it is hard for people who are busy with their work nowadays. But you`d better take it off when you are washing hands, because the soaps contain some certain alkaline matter which may damage the weak stones if accumulate. And the soap will easily remain in the chinks of rings, influencing the lustre and brightness of the jewelry greatly. Besides, the jewelry is easy to be bruised when you are bathing, doing housework, swimming and so on. Be care of acid and alkaline matter: the matters we touch in daily life or food, all contain some acid or alkaline in different density degree. These acid and alkaline matters in different density degree may damage the precious stones, especially pearl and other organic stones. The daily used cosmetic shall be avoided of straining the stones.
Attention to the wearing order: Hooking clothes and wallets must be avoided when wearing jewels with rims or rings. In general, to wear the jewels after dressing one is the wearing order of jewels. Just imagine wearing a ring encrusted with demands, then put on clothe and stockings, isn`t dangerous?
The smart usage of small jewelry bag: you may hear that the removed jewelry falls and damages unconsciously, or slide to water tank, or forget it on washbasin or other accidents when some people wash hands. In fact it is not fresh thing, but this crisis can be avoided. When you buy an ornament, the jewelry shop will send you a small case. You may put your ornament in it to make it looked more beautiful. In fact, this small box can be used cleverly. It is small and doesn’t take up much space, so you can take it with you when you go out and put the jewelry into the box when washing hands. If you develop this custom, you can reduce the rate of losing your jewelry largely. So don`t feel bother about it, just carrying a small ring box with you!
