Watching the 2011 Golden Globe Awards makes me wonder how these tv and movie personalties keep the weight off.

Or maybe it’s like just asking

• “Do birds fly?”
• “Do weight loss supplements work?”
• “Does gym time give you toned body?”

Ok, I admit that I actually am green with envy that no matter how much I try to stay away from sweets and fats the bulge won’t come off, 😀

Chris Colfer! Congratulations! Yes, I watch Glee every Wednesday morning where we are.

Hubby bought a slight-used (according to him) laptop yesterday after scouring laptop deals in the web for several days. He got a Dell Latitude e6400. He said the price he got it for was good enough and less than what is being offered in the other sites he saw.

This is just timely since the pc has conked out and is running on Ubuntu. The children say they miss their Win-based games and are begging me to have these installed in my laptop. Uh-oh.

Wait, does it mean I can now “inherit ” his netbook? Hmmm…

Ted Williams, the golden-voiced former homeless man is one inspiring story for the start of a new year.

Of course, what he came to be by way of drugs and alcohol is not at all something that is inspiring but because he has a talent, a “golden voice” that captivated millions of people, Ted Williams was given great opportunities for another chance to be a better person.

We need inspiring real-life stories such as this to lift our spirits and be challenged to do more than we can.

I’ve been subscribed to two or maybe three online discount deals. So far, I bought several online discount vouchers and I haven’t used them yet, I just hope these aren’t expired yet!

Mulling on the pros and cons of buying online discount vouchers, I came up with these:

Pros on buying online discount vouchers:

• you save a lot
• you can now afford to go to places (restaurants, salon, spa, resorts, hotels) you otherwise can’t afford if not for these discount vouchers
• you get to experience new things

Cons on buying online discount vouchers:

• yes, you save a lot but you buy vouchers because these are inexpensive and not because you need these
• you think you are saving substantial amount by getting these but have you really paused and asked your self: “Do I really need these?
• you pay for vouchers you don’t really need at the moment

So before you click that “buy now’ button, the bottom line for this new shopping trend is to ask yourself: “Do I really need to buy these online discount vouchers?”

I don’t know how it is with others but I don’t grab these online discount vouchers like there’s no tomorrow or if I do, I’d probably be saying goodbye to my online earning 😀

I admit, I’m not one who has a real affinity to online shopping because I’d rather get physically tired and be able to experience the sights, smells and other sensations that go with shopping.

I was surprised though that I signed up with a local discount site where I can buy coupons at an outrageously discounted rate. No kidding.

I got a voucher for facial/acne treatments (which I plan to use before Christmas) and a voucher for a car maintenance service for the hubby.

I missed the spa vouchers so I guess I would have to wait for another one to be offered 🙂
