The last entry that I posted was in October 2016! Damn! That feels like a century ago... Life was just too hectic. I was busy living my life, a life that is called WORKING and FIGHTING for survival. I lost the motivation for blogging and without realizing it, the years just gone by...</p><p>In the span of 6 years:</p><p>I had two relationships breakups,</p><p>several deaths of family members, </p><p>TikTok is giving Instagram a run for its money, </p><p>Twitter and Youtube are still going strong, </p><p>Instagram/Facebook are getting annoying,</p><p>Britney Spears is finally freed from her 13 years conservatorship!</p><p>K-pop and K-dramas' world domination,</p><p>Netflix almost become the new 'religion'</p><p>On 24th February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine to which then escalated to a full pledge Russo-Ukrainian war (war is still ongoing)!</p><p>The world is battling the lethal outbreaks called COVID-19. Millions have perished because of this illness. Currently, the world is still battling COVID-19,</p><p>Wearing facemask is the new fashion statement. Nearing 3 years now, facemask is still an essential thing. I don't think I will ditch it for now, seeing that this disease is still not fully eradicated (even though I had completed my vaccination plus the booster shot). Prevention is better than cure.</p><p>Queen Elizabeth II (Queen of UK and other Commonwealth realms) died at the grand age of 96, making her as one of the world longest serving monarchs (she reigned for 70 years!) and the world is finally seeing the ascension of Prince Charles of Wales as the new king, King Charles III. I believe the world is currently debating on how many years he has left to reign seeing that he's currently 73 and his health is poorly.</p><p>I think I will start writing again. I hope I'll gain the motivation to blog again. Writing might just become a source of comfort to me, just like all those years ago, when I was a lonely Sabahan girl, working in KL.</p><p>Till later.

Oh.My.God!<br />
<br />
It's been so long since I last updated this very neglected blog of mine! One whole year and a half, to be exact. Tsk..tsk..tsk..<br />
<br />
But...now I'm back. So..hello again, blog..<br />
<br />
As a first entry of 2016, I'm not going to write a longish entry. I'll just upload pictures of my recent gathering with the 'original' circle of Sabahan Blogger ladies (at least three of them - Mimi, Carol and Lizee. The rest couldn't make it)<br />
<br />
Our first meet up after the last (that would be back in 2010 I think) was on Jan 2nd, 2016 @ <a href="http://kk.souledout.com.my/" target="_blank">SOULed OUT</a>. It's a newly opened restobar located at IMAGO KK Times Square. Place is a bit crowded, you need to book tables ahead if you are coming in groups. Price wise, can be a bit pricey and menus are limited. But, you can always try the Chef's recommendations. Plus, I loved their signature Mojito drinks variants.<br />
<br />
Here's our merry pictures, ringing in the New Year 2016.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hello lovelies? Let's talk about fashion, shall we? :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Today, my entry is about "ways to rock your crop tops successfully."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br />Yep, lately, crop tops have been making come back rounds on the fashion circuits. I remember, during late 80s to early 90s, they were such a big, big deal back then . Alongside with big perms, mullet hairs, thick shoulder pads, leggings, leotards, tights, mesh shirts and stonewashed/acid denims. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When
women hear the word crop top, some may feel a little bit insecure while some
have no idea on how to work it with their body figure or mix matching it. </span><a href="http://www.zalora.com.my/women/clothing/crop-tops/"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Crop Top</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> is becoming one of today’s trending
fashion clothing with many designs and women can substitute the normal tees or
blouses with cute crop tops in their fashion wardrobe. There are three easy
ways that every woman should try to experiment with the crop top. The first
famous look is the casual look: You could
wear your crop top with a pair of shorts whether it is denim or not. You could
choose a lace crop top for a feminine look or just look edgy with a graphic
printed one. But if you’re aiming for the sexy, wear a pair of heels, sling bag
or sunglasses. If you are a more laid
back type of girl, a pair of sneakers and cap will work fine as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
second look for women to try out is by pairing a sleeveless crop top with a
short skirt or midi skirt. Show off your fun side and expose the soft ladylike
personality you have in front of others. If you do not want to show a lot of
skin, wear an outerwear on top of your sleeveless crop top with a cardigan,
blazer or even a jacket. Never over accessorize when you attempt to pull this
look as too much accessory will make your outfit look crowded. Just stay simple
with only a pendant necklace or earrings.</span></div>

<br />
The picture, which I have uploaded in this blog, was used by a woman as her FB profile picture. Being an open account, it generated 'likes' and hundreds of mixed up comments. Some of the comments were positives, others were just hateful, sarcastic even. The comments started with "not bad for Sabahan ladies", with the usual remarks of females' attributes in between. Tales keep on spinning, the owner of the account even invented a story of my cousin being a widow (she is not, thank you very much!). While I, is apparently an unknown tourist, probably from Korea and a complete, selfie-crazy person! Heyyyy, I do selfies but I'm no Kim Kardashian, OK? She's the master of all selfies.<br />
<br />
Initially, I didn't know the existence of that woman's FB account but one of my friends (she's frm my hometown) asked us (my cousin and I) if we have other accounts. To which we said, no, we don't. She then sent us a screencapped of the that woman FB profile and well, hell, my pic is her profile pic. Suffice to say, we're not happy with the comments posted next to it.<br />
<br />
Long story cut short, we have asked the person to remove the picture and asked her to write an open letter of apology for using my picture without permission. I have to say, her friends were less than happy when they found out that she's been carrying tales all these while.<br />
<br />
I don't have issues with people who use images I've uploaded online, but it is only fair to ask for permission no? The only problem is when strangers misuse your photos, it posts a threat to the real owners. Cyber crimes bullying is the worst thing that can happen to you! It's no laughing matter.<br />
<br />
Well, since the woman made a public plea and acknowledged her mistakes, we accepted her apology.<br />
<br />
Always be cautious, people.Enniebellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117906576987034802noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066795017903600347.post-37344758321133728802014-02-18T16:15:00.000+08:002014-02-18T16:15:00.357+08:0034 Years Later..Yeah, a few days ago, on Feb 11th, it was my birthday. Man oh man, hard to believe that I'm old. In a few years time, God willing, I'll be 40! So, one of my friends had suggested that we should go for a trip. She said:<br />
"Hey, why don't we go to Bali?" I said "Sure, that'll be fun. Let's"<br />
<br />
So, it was then decided that Bali it is. Unfortunately, timing is all wrong. So, we then decided to shelve it until May. And so, we'll be going to Bali. But wait, if it's Bali, I should at least shave off a few kilos of my fat. Yes, I am flabby. I need to lose it. Especially my 'cushiony' tummy. I don't want to end up like a washed up whale! NO.<br />
<br />
So, 34 years later..I've come to this:<br />

One particular video that I really loved is titled "MOVE".<br />
<br />
44 days, 18 flights, 11 countries, 38,000 miles, two cameras, him and his two other mates have recorded a 1 minute terabyte of epic footage! That deserves a super epic awesomeness!<br />
<br />
Here's the video:<br />

<br />
<i><span style="color: blue;">"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots"</span></i><br />
<br />
Well, Einstein, you weren't wrong. The world now is overrun with generation of idiots, as you had correctly predicted.<br />
<br />
Well, we have idiots running around, speed chasing smart technologies. Errr, I'm actually sugarcoating this. What I meant was ruled by smart phones, which if I might, I'm calling them as generation of:<br />
<br />
I'diots'<br />
I'bragger'<br />
I'cooler than the regular kids'<br />
I'rich n famous'<br />
I'nstagram bitches'<br />
I'selfie bitches'<br />
<br />
..to name a few. Of course I'm the owner of a smartphone myself but I believe there's still a 'kampung' soul in me. I don't get attached or enamored with my smartphone. I do have Instagram/Twitter/Facebook apps in my trusty Samsung S-II but I don't log into them like 24/7. I still crave the conventional human interaction. When I'm out with pals, I don't clutch my phone like it's my lifeline. I take selfies, I take food-selfies but only for maybe a few minutes at a time. Well, maybe when I'm trapped in a bad date, then I'll envoy this "OMG, I'll totally die without my phone" tactic! At home, I will be the only one whose eyes are glued on the telly. The rest of the house occupants, their eyes are glued onto their smartphones' screen! In any functions that I've been to, you'll see the guests will be doing the same. People around us are doing the same. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace!<br />

Hmmm... mine is Santorini Island, Greece! </div>
<br />
<div>
With its aegean sea, thousand years of history and great weather, that's heaven on earth. I've always been a history buff. I love history, I even scored straight A's during my school years (yes, that's the 'vain' in me talking!)<br />
<br />
I have always been fascinated with islands, histories, cultures and arts and this comes from a non-artsy person. I can't draw a single line. Give me a crayon and I'll probably 'kill' it before managed to produce a decent straight line!<br />
<br />
It probably sounds cliche but being an Aquarian, I have fondness for water. I love islands. I love the emerald and sparkling blue sea. I love everything about the ocean. Relaxing on an island is my top pick for vacations. Luckily, in Sabah, we have many islands to choose with. Within KK City's distance itself, we have the <a href="http://www.sabahtourism.com/sabah-malaysian-borneo/en/destination/83-tunku-abdul-rahman-park/" target="_blank">Tunku Abdul Rahman Park</a>, a cluster of islands: Manukan Island, Mamutik Island, Gaya Island, Sapi Island and Sulug Island, forming a marine park. These islands can be reached by speedboat rides under within 20 minutes! They're a big hit among local and international tourists. My personal favourite is Sapi Island. A nice place to indulge in water sports and I love their yummy grilled buffet lunch!<br />
<br />
Now, back to Santorini Island, I won't go in details about its topography and history. I'll let Wikipedia does the explaining. Click <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorini" target="_blank">Santorini Island, Greece</a> for info. I first saw the island in the hit 2005 movie, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sisterhood_of_the_Traveling_Pants_(film)" target="_blank">The Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants</a>, where Alexis Bledel's Lena Kaligaris went to Santorini to meet the Greek side of her family. Oh.My.Gosh! I was totally bowled over by the scenic aegean sea, its surroundings, the people and the whitewashed building structures of its principal city, Fira. The bluest of the blue sea. Totally heaven on earth! I could imagine myself sitting in a sidewalk cafe, basking in the Santorini sun, having conversations with friends while sipping wines and feasting my eyes upon the scenic natures banquet! <br />
<br />
I have this idea of celebrating every milestones of my age in islands. Well, celebrating my birthday each year in an island is not a bad idea at all. Even it isn't, at least maybe every 2, 3 years? I remembered during 2011, I celebrated it at <a href="http://www.sabahtourism.com/sabah-malaysian-borneo/en/destination/36-mabul-island/" target="_blank">Mabul Island</a> in Semporna. It was one of the best birthdays ever! Next year, I'm planning to head up to BALI!<br />

The Sea Gypsy or Badjao Laut, a.k.a Palao children..it is said that in the gypsy's tradition, newborns are normally thrown into the sea in a quick dipping ceremony so that they will grow into a strong and courageous sea warrior.

This was actually during the high tides. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, did I tell ya that I have a fondness for Japanese food? Yeah, I love them. So does Korean's. All things that not swimming in cooking oil, they'll definitely win me over. Anytime.<br /><br />Last Friday, that would be 21st June 2013, I received an SMS, an invitation to be exact to a lunch soiree with my ex-colleagues. It was then decided that the lunch date venue would be in <a href="http://www.wojamama.com/restaurants.html" target="_blank">Wojamama Japanese Restaurant</a> located at <a href="http://www.1borneo.net/public/1borneohypermall/front_page.htm" target="_blank">1Borneo Hypermall KK</a>. It was actually another farewell party (albeit a small party) and was a lunch treat by one of the lecturers in my former office. I liked the menu selections and yes, if I could, I'd love to sample them all :) I had smoked duck (totally loved this!) and crisp dory fish & chicken bento palate. Wojamama has an extensive menu selections of course. Beside the usual sushis, there are<i> a la carte </i>menus as well. Hmmm..I believe they do catering services too. Prices are a bit on the expensive side though. </div>

It says:<br />
<br />
"Dear Miss...you shall be rotated to a new department and shall be reporting to commence duties on the 3rd June, 2013"<br />
<br />
Translation: I've been rotated to a new department, in a new building. This time around, I'll be the 'sexytary' to a Director and will no longer be serving my former bosses (Deputy Deans). Now, my employer's policy is: for every three or five years interval, Secretaries, Assistant Registrars and Senior Officers are being drafted for service rotation program. No exception. So, this year, my time has finally came.<br />
<br />
Of course I enjoyed my four years working relationship with my former department but at the same time, I'm craving for new environment. For 6 years (the previous 2 of the 6 years, I've worked with a similar department back in KL) I've been working with two medical schools for two higher learning institutions and I felt that it's time to explore new avenue. This time around, I'll be working in a department which develops and monitors students' co-curricular activities (CCAs). I think, I'll enjoy working with students. We'll get to go places and GET PAID doing it. Travel and get paid, who doesn't want it? I knew I do! :)<br />
<br />
So, here's to a new working relationship. May it'll be an interesting and fulfilling years!<br />

<br />
Kaamatan (Harvest Fest) is around the corner, again! We, Sabahans are celebrating it on May 30th-31st 2013. So, in light of this, I'd like to wish all my fellow Sabahans a very Happy Kaamatan Festival. Let's be merry but respectful to others. Drink responsibly and celebrate it with goodwill and friendship.<br />

<br />
Well, that's her. At first, she was so scared and kept on asking me whether it's painful or not. I told her, well, of course it is. A little but the finished product worth the pain.<br />
<br />
So, armed with her preferred design, off we went to the tattoo parlour. At first, she's like gasping and asking the tattooist to stop like, every single minute. Then it stretched to 5 mins. Then she stopped, sitting quietly. I believe the pain became a dull ache and she told me: just take some pics, as a reminder of my first 'tattsperience'. An hour and 15 minutes later, that's the finished product. For a tattoo that size, they only charged RM80! I believe their prices are pretty cheap compared to other tattoo parlours in KK! Oh hey, they are located at Inanam. As of now, she's quite happy with the result, even planning on adding another, possibly in future.<br />
<br />
Me? Well, I've already got my own design and when I showed it to the tattooist, he said: Good design. For this, only RM100!<br />
<br />
I'm adding another. Soon.<br />

<br />
I've cut off my hair. Firstly, I've never tried this new hair style before. I seemed to be having a reservation for this particular style. Possessing a heart shape face, I was too afraid to experiment with different haircut. Well, my heart shape face doesn't help either. I have a high and wide forehead with chubby cheeks. The only parts that I wouldn't change about my face are my chin and nose. I'm quit fond of them :)<br />
<br />
Secondly, maintaining a longer hair is quite expensive. I have quite thick tresses and I wash my hair daily. I can't go without washing my hair, DAILY! Longer hair means two bottles of shampoo and two tubes of hair conditioner. Not counting the hair mask and hair serum! My gosh, hair products are fairly expensive!<br />
<br />
So, getting fed up from my high maintenance tresses, I ask my stylist friend to chop them off last Tuesday! I went for the bob cut look, which I was kinda worried off because I've never tried that particular style before. I just closed my eyes and let my friend snipped away! I must say that I liked the result. It changed and transformed my face. My colleagues gave me compliments too. They said, I look so much younger. LOL, that's the main objective, no? To look younger than your actual age! Hahahaha...<br />
<br />
Here's my new hairdo:<br />

<br />
I have just celebrated my birthday a few weeks ago (oh gosh, this woman is still harping about her birthday! Hahahaha) and what did I buy for myself as a treat? I bought myself a post-birthday trip to Perth! Will be flying to Perth on March 7th - 12th :)<br />
<br />
My dear cousin will be joining me and our relative (He's a farm manager there, btw) will act as our tour guide ! Well, it's a good thing, really. He was the one who actually proposed this trip. Initially, we planned for an island vacay (<a href="http://www.tioman.com.my/" target="_blank">Tioman Island</a> ) but unfortunately, we had to shelve the plan as he wouldn't be able to make it on the proposed dates and changed it to a Perth trip instead!<br />
<br />
I'll stop writing about this oncoming trip here. For now.<br />
<br />

It's only been two days since I turned 33 and I just want to record and memorize the 33 year old me in photos, and when I reach milestones upon milestones of my age (If I'm still alive by then! God willing..) I'll be able to look back at these snapshots and said: Dang! That was me when I was 33!<br /><br />So, here's me, two days after celebrating my 33rd birthday!<br />

Another milestone. The good power of being is still blessing me with another year to be in the universe's statistic. The past year has been fair and kind to me, I think. The good and the ugly were thrown to me in a more or less fair manners. There were hiccups along the way but I managed to overcome it. I'm lucky to experience all of human's feelings: joy, pain, courage, sadness, frustration, struggles, confusion. Basically, the facts of life.<br /><br />Looking forward to another awesome year. I might be 33 and single but it doesn't bother me much. There's more to life than burying oneself in the 'mud of desperation and depression'. I'm happy to count my blessing, each and every single day of my 33 years and beyond...<br /><br />I'm having a wonderful date with life! So, we'll be celebrating. Each day counts.<br /><br />..and, Happy Birthday to dear ol' me!<br /><br />XXXEnniebellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117906576987034802noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066795017903600347.post-66324544617644936362012-12-14T11:05:00.001+08:002012-12-14T11:10:36.073+08:00How to do sexy, mysterious feline flick!Saw this video at dailymail.co.uk.

For a tiny bombshell, looking like a goddess at a ripe age of 44 is not a small feat! Botox aside, who can dispute that lush figure of hers? She has that ideal type of a body that I envy. Petite, slim yet curvy at the right places! However much I love that January 2013 edition of Elle UK, what the hell happened to Ms. Minogue's left leg????! Where did it go? This is a bloody photoshop blunder! I mean, tweaking the imperfections is still forgivable but why made her looked like an amputee? Unless she has the ability to sit like an osteomalacia sufferer. Or maybe she's a contortionist!<br /><br />Yep, I think I sound like a total high school bitch but bitch please, she's already gorgeous as it is. No need to photoshop her within an inch of her life til she loses that hot kicker of hers! We still need her "Spinning Around" legs, thank you very much!<br /><br />Tsk..tsk..tsk..Enniebellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117906576987034802noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066795017903600347.post-6453937124474689842012-12-03T16:44:00.000+08:002012-12-03T16:44:04.565+08:00Ayam Penyet <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

At the bottom of the inbox, I came across with a copy of my letter, written to an editor of an independent online journal (newsletter) based in Sabah. The editor had sent me a copy of my published letter.<br /><br />
Wow, it was nearly three years ago and it's still in my inbox. How time flies!<br /><br />Here's a copy of that letter:<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /><br /><i>Dear Editor,<br /> <br /> I'm writing in response to Lonely Sabahan's article,. Please Listen to Sabahan Voice</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br />The writer echoes my sentiment, totally. I am also a Sabahan, moonlighting in KL. Often times, I came across with not only prejudicial sentiments but also the common assumption of Sabah being a backward place. I personally experienced one incident which had totally left me feeling flabbergasted. I was riding a cab going to work when this cab driver asked me about where I came from. I dully answered that I'm a Sabahan. Upon reaching my workplace, I was about to reach for my wallet (for the required fare) when he suddenly asked me: Miss, can I have Sabah currency? I was totally taken aback and to say that my jaw went slack off was a total understatement! I quickly clarified to this cab driver: Uncle, Sabah is a part of Malaysia too. We're Malaysian and we use the Ringgit currency too. To which he replied: "ohhh" I am at loss of word because, looking at the cab driver, he didn't look like someone who is totally clueless. His English was quite good, albeit spoken in Manglish (Malaysian English)<br /><br />My point is: How far behind are we in terms of development? It doesn't take some rocket scientists to figure that out. Even some of the moderately educated people of West Malaysia have this 'cocktail mixed up of geographical and nationalism facts' muddled in their heads. As the only Sabahan in my workplace, it's a normal occurrence. Some of them think that KK is in Sarawak and I have to remind them all the time that 'no, you got that wrong. KK is Sabah's capital while Kuching is Sarawak's.<br /><br />Yes, it's an undisputed fact that Sabah is painfully lagging in terms of job employment opportunities. Oh, there are jobs but given the fact that most of them offered with relatively low paychecks! This of course, as we all know, has prompted the young generations (including myself) to make a cross over to WM to seek greener pastures. However, it's still come out as a rude shock, well at least to me. Living in the metropolitan city of KL is a stressful affair. The high rates of rental properties combined with equally high living expenses tend to slash a huge chunk off your monthly salary. After settling the basic living expenses necessities, where does that leave us? Yes, it's depressing...<br /><br />That's why, after spending 6 odd years in KL, I now have finally came to a decision of leaving KL for good. It has been a 6-year long of stressful living, at least for me. The euphoric feelings when I first set my feet here have now dulled to a 'been-there-done-that' feeling. However, having said that, I do not mean to discourage young people to try out their luck in WM. After all, some of them are young, fresh and newly graduated and what choice do they have in Sabah? Employment is a big issue here. Our 'home' is still, most parts are underdeveloped whereas, young generations crave for job stabilities. The only logical choice is to cross the South China Sea.<br /><br />As for me, goodbye WM. I came to KL as a young adult, but I'm coming back to my beloved Sabah a matured person. I had my fill of metropolitan life, learned to be independent, collected some valuable lessons in life and now I'm proud to say that all the city glitters have simply failed to compete with the 'black-outs' cities, towns and kampungs of Sabah. It will be hard to start over again but I will cross the bridge when I reach it.<br />

Reading this copy of letter, I could't help but felt a bit nostalgic. I left behind some treasured friends and bittersweet memories behind, amidst the wild concrete jungles of KL. But, I'm happy to say that I've made peace with my old wandering soul. </div>

I don't give a shit to those fanatical Ana Wintours & Rachel Zoes of the world, where having thousands of dollars worth designer clothes and accessories clinging precariously off those emaciated shell of human bodies are deemed as friggin' high fashion. The way I see it, it's obscene and disgusting. In my opinion, skinny fashion is an ugly parody of those people ridden with famine and malnutrition. <br /><br />Yes, I love fashion myself. I follow the current trends, I flick on fashion magazines. I look at what famous celebrities are wearing. I read fashion blogs although I tend to go for street style fashion. Why? Because street style fashion is easy. You don't have to break your bank account to achieve a hip, cool and trendy street styles. <br /><br />Back to skinny models. I don't get why all these fashion designers are making skinny clothes. They are bent on clothing the skinny people. Do they think that only skinny people roam this planet? People are born in shapes and sizes. However, normal sizes people more or less dominate the entire population. Of course, I'm not saying over-weight people are normal. What I do believe is your weight should balance your BMI for health reasons. Unless you're born naturally skinny, then I don't have to debate on that. I have problem with people with perfectly healthy and balanced weights/BMIs starve themselves to death in order to fit themselves inside skinny clothes. People, especially the young are trying to emulate those bags of bones on the fashion runways and glossy magazines.<br /><br />When this happens, it creates worrying health problems. Skeletal models died because of eating disorders. Why? Because their modelling agents are pressuring them to embark in extreme dieting, otherwise they'll lose jobs and profits. Some are surviving on liquid diet, while others turn to drugs and nicotine. Now, designers, they don't want normal people as their clothes horses. Even slim models are too fat. In their dictionary, you're a model when your rib cage, collarbones and hip bones are razor sharp. You're a model when your sunken cheeks can rival the Grand Canyon, when your limbs are as thin as needles. These fashion people keep on advocating skinny cultures while the mere mortals keep on struggling to follow the skinny trends. The results? It wrecks havoc on people's health. Even normal size people struggle with their body images. Not to mention the psychological impacts are often times devastating. When people hate their bodies, they abuse it. The consequences? Often fatal. I read countless cases of people losing their loved ones because of eating disorders. <br /><br />However, I'm encouraged that more and more fashion houses, designers and modelling agents are turning their backs on skinny trends. Hooray to them!<br /><br />That, my fellow normal size comrade, is a start.Enniebellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117906576987034802noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066795017903600347.post-11835765786159869252012-10-12T16:49:00.001+08:002012-10-12T16:58:38.074+08:00Karnival Wanita Sabah 2012, 13th Oct 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
