Complete Solution

The shopping cart software has been one of the fuel to the growth of online stores. But long before, I don't really know how online store was conceptualize.

A few months back, MCJ and his brother was thinking of creating an online store selling bonsai plants. We have a current website to this provider but it would be changed to a local one and the proprietor would design the online store site. I thought, the package would include all the facilities including the shopping cart in the site, until I've read the ashop commerce business. Should the plan be materialized, we would shell out some money for the software.

And I think, I could be of use in that department to my husband. I can refer to him the ashop commerce and he himself can see what are the special features the enterprise has. The ten day free trial and the free store design offer are very attractive. Plus Ashop Commerce shopping carts are integrated with all major banks, gateways and third party processors including PayPal.

Bedroom Talk

I believe one should have a very comfy bed that's good for the body and posture. All our life, we spent more than halt of it in our bed.. or maybe just me.

We have a nice comfy bed but I just have one thing to complain about it.... it has rolling feet that move around when you're trying to prop yourself up onto the headboard and because it is not attached to the headboard, rather the headboard was attached to the sidetables, the bed move away from the headboard.. and before you'll notice it your pillow is already on the floor.. Grrrrr! Plus the fact that it is too close to the floor.. it is difficult to clean up.. hummm!

But we don't have plans nor our budget can accomodate a new platform bed. I know modern platform beds are nice. They're the type that I really want... well, just want.. not need!

Like it.. NOT!

Winter had passed and though how I love spring with all the beauty that nature brings, I can still feel and see the remnant of the cold and dry weather on myself, making me resent sometimes.

The four seasons should be pleasantly welcomed by moi who had been living in two season country all her life but sad to say, I don't.

Winter made my hair dry and now I have split-ends that can't be repaired or subdued by any high end conditioner. It made me feel dry.. my skin, my palm, my lips.. ohhhh.. not to mention my pockets.

I don't really have a beauty regimen, so how can I erase the neon effect and remnant? I buy skin care products but it will take ages for me to know or prove that it is really working or worth it considering my habit of applying them. Oh well! It just makes me frustrated.

And to sum it up... I dont like winter.. except maybe if it snow here. That will be another story.

Desktop Tag

I was tagged by Mich, Leah and Arlene to show what are on my desktop. Thanks gals!

So here's my boring piece. :(


See how boring it is? Truth be told, I dont like it but MCJ and I cant agree on one wall paper so that was what he came up. I wanted photos or dark background while he wants something funny and obscene.... in the end something bright and calming was what we agreed. When he knew the tag, he wanted to change it to what he likes... but I don't want to cheat. :) Oh well, I want to change it to Ian's photo but just after doing this tag. The icons are mainly what MCJ use because he wants everything to be easy access whilst, I can dig up my files and icons that I usually use. The two isolated icons are the MYOB shortcuts that he's been using everyday for two weeks now.

Now, who am I going to tag? It seems almost in my circle of friends had done this. :) Anyway, I'll try Gracita, Fionixe and Mitch.

One Stop Shop

Have you seen or heard a one stop shop for all electronic needs or facilities? I just did.

Epazz provides a total managed integrated web solutions. It offers enterprise email system, web hosting, document management, portal software, content management and to many more.. even down to intranet. How cool is that? The product and solutions offer by this company are more apt to the new business or those business who wants to shift from manual processing to electronic as they have a package that offers whole lot, the BoxesOS.

Plus the facilities were not just designed to cater specific needs of a particular industry but rather of various, so if you've a diversified business... this is more likely what you want.

And the good part is a 30 days free trial. I deemed this scheme is pro-buyer as you have an idea how the system or facility works before buying it. This way also, you can think of so many probabilities and uses of the solution to your company before you actually pay for it.

Sorts of People in a Relationship

We watched a documentary of fat admiration last night - Fat Girls and Feeders. I'm not that naive (maybe not just well read) though but that was the first time that I've ever heard of men actually looking for fat women and the fatter a woman is, the more she becomes attractive to the fat admirer (fa).

I was amazed that some men really sought fat women to the extent of travelling to the other side of the world. There was this young man from UK who went to the US to go to bar with fat women.

But finding the right woman was not a walk in the park as the ratio is 4:1. Picking should really be done carefully.

For one woman, it was just sort of a show to the world especially to her family that she can have a boyfriend or eventually a husband even if she's fat, so she made a personal advertisement which one of the men in the nearby town responded. They hit it off from there. Good on her! But not for long as her husband has an obsession of getting her bigger and bigger, making her totally dependent on him. Her husband would feed her whatever she wants, but he didn't call himself feeder but rather enabler. However he may call himself, I think he still the sort of selfish gut who doesn't think of his wife's health.

What is more questionable for me is that, he made videos of his wife's progress if you may call it, in gaining weight. He take photos of him in the same angle every some time to show how big she gets. And what's horrible for me was, she was the narrator in the video. The videos were sold to the husband's fellow FA. They earned big bucks.

Eventually, the wife put her feet down and put an end to her husband's obsession. She had an operation to make her stomach smaller, and she lost weight in the process much to her husband's chagrin in the beginning but he had realized that he might jeopardize his wife's health.

I admire the wife's love or loyalty to let her husband rule her life for her and at the same time, I resent it. It doesn't matter if you're happy with what you're doing but she didn't look happy. Oh well, to each her own.

Tidy Up

Anybody who has a big laundry room would be lucky. And we are not. But for the meager space that we have there, it accomodates more than enough stuff of what it can hold. Aside from the washer and sink, there's the water heating system, the laundry baskets, my sewing machine, a trolly for anything, cleaning materials.. plus those stuff that are necessary but we dont use everyday. It would be really nice to have laundry room cabinets like a stainless steel wall mount cabinet where we can store the laundry detergents and soaps, cleaning supplies and many thingy-me-bobs. Aside from many more room to move around, it would make the space neat and tidy. As the laundry room can so0metimes be the busiest part of the house, it is good that you have plenty of room to move around.
