Northingham and Malaga, Spain, Day 1
Finally, I've got the time edit all these photos and upload them onto my blogger. Takes ages to do that. But before I get started, just wanna tell you guys that I'd uploaded new Youtube video, so please give me some support and click to watch, k?? ;p Thanks...
So, there isn't any direct flight to Spain, therefore we had to transit our plane in East Midlands.
The must-take plane view picture. Stunning view, isn't it?
You can even make phone calls on the plane ^__^. But I can imagine how expensive the charges would be.
Camwhoring on the plane. Hate taking long haul flights. Looking at this picture makes me headache now. I call it, plane-cabin phobia.
While waiting for our flight to Malaga, we have to stay 5 hours in Northingham. So we decided to visit around the city. I was told that Northingham is famous for the legendary figure, Robin Hood. Thus, we went the the castle and found this brass statue of Robin Hood trying to shoot an invisible figure with his arrow.
And that's my lansi (arrogant) face while imitating the Hero.
Beautiful garden structure within the castle ground. I heard that its even prettier during summer time with flowers blooming everywhere.
This ground was said to hold activites for visitors to enter some competition. I have no idea what sort of event will they be organizing.
Some floor motif made from colourful rocks and stones.
Then we went to the city centre and found this vast fountain thingy welcoming us.
The square. No idea what's the name. But I still take photo with it. Very kampung (village) girl indeed.
At last, after sitting on the plane for bloody 3 hours, we reach our final destination (nope, not the dying one) and its nightfall. Couldn't do much, could we? So after our dinner at McDonalds (yes, we were so hungry that even McD taste like Michellin 5 Star Cuisine), we went to this place call Marques de Larios which is Malaga's main shopping street.
And surprisingly, some shops are still open after 8pm (I know, in Malaysia, malls open till 10pm but I have lost touch of this wonderful opening hours for 2 years, don't blame me CLIS) and there we still people the streets holding tons of shopping bags, walking around.
This is the nightime look of its famous cathedral, call the Cathedral Musuem. A bit eerie to me. But its really gigantic that I can't fit the building into my camera frame.
So that concludes the 1st day. Pretty boring isn't it as we didn't get to see much. And we were so mad tired (woke up at 5am, and have to walk so much summore). Surprisingly, we didn't get to take too many pictures for this trip. Its like we are all grown up and stop having interest in snapping away (Nah, just kidding, just plain lazy I guess).
I so wanna lie in bed right now after doing some weird report the whole day. My brain isn't functioning anymore but there's still job to do or someone will get mad at me for not completing it. Sigh...
The reason for all the 1-person-only picture above is because Yoong doesn't want his picture to be post on my blog anymore. Too shy maybe?? So you'll see more pictures of me only. More boring than ever. Call me Cindy-the-boring-gal CLIS =__=

Always Fuck With Condoms!
I love using my condoms.
You can buy ones now that you can hardly feel.
Just put a bit of lubricant inside and I tell you, it's fabulous!
I prefer condom blow jobs to a bare mouth now because I know it's safe!
My partner is HIV negative so it's natural that I've developed a psychological fondness for them.
I never want to put my lover at risk.
I'm blessed to have him and his good health is crucial just like mine is.
Protecting my lover from my HIV is the most important thing when it comes to our sex.
Safe sex is the most important thing for us within our relationship but it does not dominate our landscape.
Quite the contrary.
If you truly love your partner, then you should love condoms too.
No matter your HIV status or theirs.
A blow job with a condom is fantastic and the risk is nil!
You can suck all night and you're safe.
Fucking with a rubber is fantastic as well.
You last longer and you have to focus!
Cumming inside someone is stupid.
Just plain stupid!
Sex is amazing, there's no question.
But why would you trade five minutes of crazy passion for twenty five years of health worries and concern?
Getting fucked with a condom is so much better than bareback.
Because you can fall asleep in each others arms and not worrying about HIV or any other STD!
Or being pregnant!
Use condoms.
If you really love your mate then it should come naturally.
It's 2010.
No one is safe.
Unless you use condoms.
Outfit Of The Day
This is what I wore for the Spain Trip. The temperature is not really cold and I think its the 1st time I'm wearing a beanie ^__^
Beanie: New Look
Beanie: New Look
White Cardigan: River Island
Skirt: H&M
Belt: New Look
Tights: Topshop
Boots: Priceless
Necklace: Scotland (and its missing now :-( CLIS why do I have to lose it?)
The mirror reflection picture was taken in the hotel bathroom. The room has huge ass mirror everywhere. I mean like, really really everywhere. I would find some time to post up my Spain pictures because there are tons and I need to compile them all thus the tiny miscellaneous post for these past few days.
p/s: I just found out that I love wearing flair skirt/dress. They cover up my big elephant tree trunk thunder thighs and sort of elongate my legs. I know, just an illusion. Sigh.... CLIS

Tiger Woods' GAY SEX?
Loredana Jolie's Juicy Claim
Tiger Woods' sex fantasies are "not normal," according to the Playboy model who claims to have slept with the golfer. Loredana Jolie told the New York Post that Tiger "would engage in sex from 9 p.m. until the sun came up the next morning."
She also says Tiger "likes role-playing, he likes to be the guy in control and wearing a suit while there are girls performing girl-on-girl and guys entertaining guys."
Jolie, who was born in Italy and was allegedly "one of [Tiger's] favorites," is "not really sure rehab for sex addiction will help him." She previously claimed Woods had sexual encounters with men.
"Yom Ha'atzmaut or Australia Day?" AJN recklessness
Mary Walsh's blog "Glen Eira & Thereabouts"
From a quick glance at the above-named blog one can understand why some smell a whiff of anti-Jewish sentiment. But we are yet to be convinced that this can be labeled as anti-Semitism.
However the points that the lady makes in the following post have more than a smidgen of merit.
Yom Ha'atzmaut or Australia Day? You choose!
Ah, I am privy to a better understanding of why Cr Lipshutz reacts to constructive criticism in the way he does!
There ain't no way of pleasing some folk! but fortunately not all!
In this weeks AJN the Vox question was: "Which mean more to you, Australia Day or Yom Ha'atzmaut?
55% of the on line poll answered Yom Ha'atzmaut, while 44% said Australia. The total numbers who responded weren't provided.
Only those who voted for Yom Ha'atzmaut were photographed and quoted, 5 in all. Aged 22 to 71, the 71 yo psychologist said that 'without the State of Israel my whole life as a Jew would be threatened', another said 'Israel would always be in her heart where ever she lived in the world'. The 22 yo said 'Australia is a comfortable place but Israel is my true home',(but you live in Australia so isn't that your real home?) an engineer 45 yo said "I'm an Australian Jew and Israel is my priority.(so what are you doing living here if your priorities are elsewhere?).
I feel like Australians 'are being used by a system' that does not require people from elsewhere to put the interests of this country, first and foremost. We tolerate being told, that we don't matter effectively, as a nation!
I looked at their happy cheerful faces and wondered why the hell they lived in Australia, if Israel is so very precious to them, why don't they go and live there?
It was a divisive question to ask in the first place but with attitudes like that, possibly more volatile cultures than Australians are offended by that attitude towards a Country they chosen to live in of their own free will. No one is forcing them to stay if they'd rather be elsewhere!
I see on page 16 of the AJN that 'anti Semitism is the highest since WW11.' Perhaps offending the host country with what some would see as 'ill considered' comments.
The majority of people worldwide, I believe, don't HATE Israel, but neither do they HATE Israel's enemies. Most people worldwide do not spend so much of their day looking for things to be 'offended' by.....All races of people have their preferred options and Jews themselves are a race that prefers inhouse socialising - but they just don't seem to get it, that the rest of the world - doesn't do that! They get on with living their lives, and don't allow the offensive terms which one race may apply to another to spoil their day. (Just the book I'm reading at present is about the fear of an Indian mother that her daughter is seeing a white man, or worse, an African!!) (The hero is working through his own sense of prejudice when he realises how intelligent, beautiful and fully independent the Indian mother is...almost as if he expected, that in England, she could only be a cleaning lady!)
I was heartened that 44% of Jewish folk appreciate the wonderful gift of fate afforded them, to be living in Australia! And that was only those who responded to the poll.....The rest are out there living their lives!

In our view the Jewish News should have shown more 'seichel' and responsibility than to pose such a question and then publish the results. We do not look forward to the field-day that the unambiguous and openly Jew-hating websites will have with this piece of AJN "research"! (We placed "research" in quotation marks - as our information is that the AJN had less than 100 responses to its Vox Pop. That's under 1 in 1000 Australian Jews - rendering it as totally useless information – except for the anti-Semites.)
As to the respondents we too ask: You so adore Israel? Lovely. So what the heck are you doing here? The answer of course is that you far prefer to live here in Australia rather than Israel. But should you say what you REALLY feel, you'll be letting down Israel. You are being false, damaging and irresponsible.
Those of us who have visited Israel, are convinced that should the doors to Australia be opened wide to the locals, half the population would grab the opportunity to immigrate here. (And then, of course, they too will celebrate Yom Ha'atzmaut with barbeques in Caulfield and Toorak backyards and but tickets for Song and Music Festival at the Palais...)

DSWD Attacks Blogger
DSWD slams blogger with libel case for posting about 'rotting' relief goods
NIKKA CORSINO, GMANews.TV 01/23/2010 | 05:48 PM
Despite the absence of laws specifically regulating Internet activity, a libel suit has been filed against a blogger by a Cabinet official. The move has prompted questions from analysts about whether blogs can fall under the jurisdiction of existing libel laws.
This week the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed a libel suit against a blogger named “Ella" at the request of former Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Esperanza Cabral.
'Ella' criticizes warehouses “Ella" put up a blog post entitled “Aanhin pa ang damo kung patay na ang kabayo?"accusing the DSWD of hoarding relief items in its warehouses on October 21, 2009 after the devastation of typhoons in Metro Manila and nearby regions.
The blog asserted that the DSWD was not distributing towering piles of relief goods to victims, and that the department lacked enough volunteers to do so.
Cabral, now health secretary, belied the accusations, saying that the goods are still subject to inventory and that volunteers “can come and go as they want." She also stressed that “people were busy," explaining the absence of people in the warehouse described in the blog.
Legal definition of a blog The Revised Penal Code delimits published material as a “means of writing, printing, lithography, engraving, radio, phonograph, painting, theatrical exhibition, cinematographic exhibition, or any similar means." “We will have to see if the courts will define the blog as such," said blog analyst Juned Sonido, emphasizing that the intent to effect malice to the entity must be proven for the case to prosper. Libel is defined as a “public and malicious imputation of a crime, or of a vice or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status, or circumstance tending to cause the dishonor, discredit, or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead." Setting a legal precedent Sonido observed that there has not been any landmark case in the Philippines prosecuting bloggers of libel. Nevertheless, Sunido adds, “A blog is like an article [in a newspaper]. As a blogger, you have to be responsible for what you write," Sonido says, stressing that bloggers “must make it a point to get both sides." Meanwhile, blogger Jane Uymatiao says the libel case against “Ella" “will set a precedent" in the justice system’s treatment of libel cases involving online material. 'Anyone can take an alias' Sonido admits that the relative ease of Internet access today is the principal cause of the proliferation of attacks on entities online. “You can start a blog in about five seconds," Sonido explains, adding, however, that the internet may be difficult to regulate because of the sheer number of people in it. Sonido added that the verification of bloggers’ identities is a more complicated matter “since anyone can take an alias" online and may therefore not be directly identifiable. He underscored the difficulty with the current case against “Ella," who has not yet responded to the NBI’s summons for a polygraph test. Sonido recalls the controversial mauling incident last year on a golf course between Department of Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman and Delfin de la Paz. De la Paz’s teenage daughter Bambee was sued by the Pangandamans for libel for allegedly tainting their family’s name in her blog entry. The case, however, was withdrawn and settled out of court. - TJD, GMANews.TV

Why's There Sea Asparagus In My Plate?
What's the occasion?? Why are the dishes today so so lavish??
Well, at least I feel like a King having a big feast (due to constant proper food deprivation =__=). But hor, you should really see my face when I saw this dish, like, "Wah... I sure am lucky today... Maybe its my birthday??" kind of surprise and content smile lingering on my round chubby face.
Ya, Yoong just cooked them with soy sauce and pepper and those frozen green beans. Expensive ingredients + Cheapo accompaniments = My scrumptious dinner
Twis Twitter Twuly Twover?
The Twitter phenomenon is dying and the bird has flatlined
(CNN) -- It was the upstart rock star of the Internet in early 2009, roaring out of relative obscurity to become one of the most exposed -- some would say overexposed -- services on the Web.
But since the middle of last year, the number of Twitter users has flatlined.
Compete, a Web analytics firm, says the microblogging site's number of visitors hasn't changed much since June and that its roughly 22 million visitors in December was about 770,000 fewer than its highest number, which was in August.
Multiple other analysts paint the same picture, raising the question: Has Twitter peaked?
"Maybe Twitter was a victim of its own success," said Andrew Lipsman, an analyst at comScore, another company that tracks traffic on Internet sites. "It grew so quickly that it isn't meeting its own expectations."
Dear Readers,
Let me first start off by stating how much I love my fantastic fellow twitter tweeters who follow my twitter @ Twitter BryShane
The thing is, my twitter site bores me... even with my new flash layout.
And it seems I'm not alone because "twitter fatigue" is indeed going global.
Twitter has flatlined as many suspected it would.
It seems that tech users have stopped signing up to tweet due to facebooks powerful hold being enough for most mid ranged social networkers.
It's being reported that "twitter just takes too much time?"
Huh?
Personally, I'd much rather read facebook updates than twitter updates.
I actually think people save their best shout outs for facebook anyways because twitter tweets are for the most part mind numbingly boring 140 characters or less statements (mine included).
I like many other people need visual stimuli with my social networking.
I'm all about the visual.
I'm actually bored with my twitter.
Maybe because I have nothing to report!
Maybe my life has become so ordinary, I'm boring.
I'll continue twittering though because I wouldn't dream of abandoning my fellow tweeters.
Join my twitter if you want because I could super love it again next week!
It's a Sybil thing.
Do you Twitter?
Do you like the social networking platform?

My Opinion:
Here are the swatches. As you can see, they are really sheer and quite creamy which led me to layering if I want more coverage and as an end result, the product caked on my skin, making my complexion fake. Maybe its just my problem area which are either too dark or too red. But I do find this a bit oily after application.

Repurchase: No, as product does not give much coverage
Contouring Blush and Bronzer Palette
Price: £3.50
ELF Advertise:
Create a healthy and natural glow all year long. The Blush highlights the cheeks to add a flush of color, while the Bronzer accents and contours cheekbones for beautiful definition. (Blush and Bronze both have a soft shimmer).
My Opinion:
I like the colour and the pigmentation and the long lasting power. Its not cakey and I love the fact that I don't need to apply layers to acheive the flush colour. Its easy to blend, although its a bit too shimmery for my liking, it does give my complexion a glow. Not bad for something so cheap.
I do not think that its similar to NARS Orgasm Blush in terms of pigmentation because NARS is a bit sheer on more on the pinkish side while ELF is more of like a coral and cool pink tone.
Ratings: 9/10
Repurchase: Yes
Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter
Price: £3.50
ELF Advertise:
Correct under eye problematic areas such as dark circles and bags easily and effectively! Contains vitamins A & E, chamomile, caffeine and green tea to moisturize, soothe, and tighten the skin around the delicate eye area. Blends in easily and evenly to provide a smooth and natural finish.
My Opinion:
I like the concealer part which is easy to blend and gives very good coverage, especially on my dark eye circles. I just need to use my fingers to tap gently and the product totally absorbed in my skin. The applicator is a bit slanted to give easy application on weird areas.
However, I'm not a big fan of the highlighter. Its too bright and white. Its like a complete colour on its own. Although it does have illuminating powers, I hope that it wouldn't be too prominent in terms of pigmentation. Oh wait, it shouldn't have any pigmentation at all.
Ratings: 7/10
Repurchase: Yes due to its convenient shape of a pencil and good foundation coverage

My Opinion:
A very good product that comes with affordable prize. Easy to blend, really sets my make up, sheer glow to it and really does gives me a matte finish and doesn't cake up my face. Nothing more else to say except superb product.
Ratings: 9/10 as I wish that more powder could come out from its section through the holes so that I don't have to repeatingly shake the bottle.
Repurchase: Yes, but I would like to try out the Mineral Glow

Happy Australia Day!
The best part of Australia... the life savers
I've never missed Australia more than I have this past year.
I'm going back soon for a holiday but not soon enough for me because I really miss my dogs.
My partner is here now in Canada and so is my new life which I love.
At the same time I can't wait for the future when we can return to the farm one day.
Together.
Happy Australia Day Australia.
You really are the BEST country in the world.
Eccentric Slumber
Guests who don’t want to hop into a cold bed at one English hotel now have a novel way to warm up: by enlisting a staff member to do it for them.
The Holiday Inn's Kensington, London. location will offer a free five-minute “human bed warming” service throughout next week, according toBritain's Sky News.
So what does a human bed warmer do? A hotel staffer, dressed from head-to-toe in a white, fleecy getup that looks like a cross between a footed pajama set and a snowsuit, will get into your bed upon request and move around, generating some heat between those chilly sheets.
It's akin to “having a giant hot water bottle in your bed,” Holiday Inn spokesperson Jane Bednall told Sky News.

OMG I LOVE THIS!
As long as I can choose who gets in my bed of course.
Gorgeous men need only apply!
Hehehe.

During his 2008 campaign for the presidency, Obama vowed to end the rule discriminating against gays and he renewed that pledge in a speech last year.
"We were told by the Pentagon that they expected the president to say something in the State of the Union on it," said Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, referring to the speech Obama will deliver on Wednesday evening to a joint session of the U.S. Congress.
But Levin added: "I have no idea" what Obama will say.

Dear Readers,
President Barack Obama is expected to talk about the "Don't ask, don't tell" rule that bars openly gay Americans from serving in the military during his State of the Union address this week.
I'm already tiring of Barack Obama's broken promises with regards to the ridiculous "Don't ask don't tell" policy which is clearly a case of sexual discrimination against the LGBTQ (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered Queer) community. Full stop! This entire gay army charade needs clarification in the State of the Union address.
I respect and admire Barack for so many reasons (one being that he is black), but I'm afraid Obama doesn't like the gays too much unless he's canvassing for our votes which he received in abundance.
The vast majority of blacks just don't like us gays and that's a fact. If you even dare and try to compare our equal rights battle with "their" own fight for equal rights, it's for certain that sparks will fly!
Once again, the vast majority of blacks think we "choose" this "lifestyle" but they did not "choose" to be black. Oh what a load of rubbish. We're all the same people fighting for equal rights. Except for the reality that the black community is extremely homophobic. FACT!
Us gays love black people, but the black people seem to have no love for us gays. FACT!
The gays are starting to turn on Barack Obama and that's the last thing the president needs right now. Obama promised so much during his campaign for the top job but has yet to deliver a single positive change.
(WTF? You can be a gay or lesbian officer killed in battle for your country, but you can't live an honest discrimination free open life while doing it?
"Don't ask, don't tell" is a huge embarrassment for America.
This State of the Union is a great opportunity for Barack to right this horrible wrong and at the same time reach out to the black community and show them that there's nothing to fear but fear itself.
And TELL THEM, that we ARE born gay!
Just like they are born black!
We're all watching and listening.
Lush Fresh Mask Review - A Crash Course In Skincare
This was a free gift from Lush and I immediately try it out that night. So after cleaning my face and sweeping my hair behind, I'm ready to give this mask a challenge.
My skin actually belong to the group of dry and sensitive, but I was given this mask due to the shortage of stock (not sure what mask should I actually use). Anyway, as you can see from this picture I have redness on both of my cheeks and dull complexion. Look at my dark eye circles, prominently standing out, making it the focal point of my entire face, disaster.
So, taking out a huge chunk of of the mask and spreading it evenly on my face, making sure that I cover every spot, avoiding the eye area and left it there for it to dry up for about 10 minutes.
This is what the face mask look like in the tub. Consistency was muddy and have few fine grains which sort of acts as exfoliater to my skin.
And there's the simple wordy packaging. And yes, I'm bored of waiting that long so I decided to snap away. The instruction to keep the mask chilled is due to the fact that it doesn't have any preservatives therefore could only last up to 2 weeks which meant that good for my skin, bad for my purse.
And this is me. Ignore my ugly form and concentrate more on my skin, ok?
THE VERDICT
PRICE: £6.45 FOR 75g (a tub)
LUSH ADVERTISE:
All skins need tender loving care. This is the kind of blend your mum would create if she could. It has rich, nutritious, organic avocado, freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten and tone the skin and soothing natural yoghurt. There, that's much better.
MY OPINION:
The 1st thing that I'd notice when I'm slapping it on my skin was "Wow, what a cooling sensation!" then later only I realized its because I had chilled it and not because of the mask itself. But its still a bonus point which I wouldn't mind giving it to. The texture of the mask was great, and I like the subtle fragrant smell of lemon which was therapeutic for me. As the mask dries up, my skin felt so tight that I can't even talk or have any facial expression at all. But I don't mind, I mean, the tighter, the better for me, slimming my face illusion. Although I do find the mask a bit hard to wash off as it kind of stick to my skin when it dried out. Are all mud type mask like this??
The changes in my appearance is quite distinguishable, judging from the photo. I notice that my skin didn't look as dull as before. Although I wouldn't say my complexion is illuminating or glowing, but at least I know that my face's clean. And the redness, OMFG, its diminishes. I hate my sensitive red cheeks, and never thought that it would one day subside, but in this case, it did. And my dark eye circles had reduced to half. Can't believe it. This would be the best face mask I ever use.
RATINGS: 9/10
REPURCHASE: An absolute yes. But I would like to try other Fresh Mask because I do find their ingredients fascinating like chocolate and garlic and blueberry. But I wouldn't purchase it too frequently due to its price and its shelf life.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Yes, by weight.
