City of Glenville

….Bill Gates. I really admire him for being the genius that he is. Microsoft has, and still is, making our life easier and so convenient. I wouldn’t mind making and spending money like he does, being one of the richest man in the world.

….Angelina Jolie. I just want to find out how it would be married to Brad Pitt, be filthy rich with pouty lips and have lots of kids.

….Jamie Oliver. This British chef is one of my favourites. I watch him everyday on TV. It wouldn’t hurt to cook like him for one day.

….Oprah. Who wouldn’t want to be Oprah??

….Madonna. A hall of famer and an icon, Madonna is a total performer with a unique way of life. I wonder how it feels like to have billions of fans, an entourage and millions of dollars.

Wouldn’t it be great to just trade in yourself and assume the identity of others? Well, in a sci-fi, fantasy movie, it might sound great. But even famous people have normal problems… just upsized 50 or a 100 times more. I wouldn’t want any complications in my life. Though, I am not rich and famous, I am happy and satisfied with my life.

I am a foodie. I love eating and I love food. Lately, I have been obsessed about breakfast and the food. I find myself wanting to get up early just to cook and smell breakfast being made.

I love to hear eggs being cracked and then crackle while being cooked by the hot stove. Sunny side up or omelettes, eggs are perfect for breakfast. Now, bacon, is another thing. This truly fatty and simple piece of meat is amazing when cooked crisp and eaten hot. The sound of its own fat heating it up and shrinking it is unbelievable.

When I am in the mood for a complicated breakfast, I prepare pancakes and waffles. Mixing them in a bowl is therapeutic. I love how sweet and yummy they smell when they are almost ready. Sometimes, I make them plain or add blueberry, strawberry or cheese.

I also love eating hotdogs and sausages for breakfast. They are so meaty, juicy and so tasty. I like to spear them with a fork or just use my hands when I devour them. Breakfast is not breakfast without orange juice and fresh milk. They complete my breakfast by quenching my thirst and giving me my daily dose of calcium and vitamin C.

I can’t wait for tomorrow’s breakfast.

Purchasing used laptops are not as easy as picking a brand new one. With a spanking new laptop and once you’ve selected a specific brand, you just decide if the color looks good, if its specs are high enough and if the price is right. But if you choose to buy used laptops, aside from the above mentioned factors, you also need to determine if the gadget is still efficient, if the programs installed are genuine, and how long will it last.

Depending on the way it was cared for by the previous owner, used laptops are a great bargain. They are inexpensive compared to brand new ones. If you are lucky, you can even buy a top of the line, latest model that has only been slightly used.

If you are buying a used laptop online, make sure that you ask for clear actual photos. These should be taken close-up and in a far distance to help you determine if the physical appearance is still good. After you have verified that, ask for detailed information about the specs of the laptop: motherboard, video and sound card, operating system, and others. This will help you decide further if it would really be worth purchasing.

Make sure to scout numerous online shops before settling for a specific used laptop. By checking out all your options, you can get the true value for your money.

Fruits are nature’s source of Vitamin C and other things that are good for you. This is truly an added perk to eating fruits but I just love eating them because they taste really good.

Can be eaten raw or cooked, fruits are very versatile. You can have them as a juice, shakes or smoothie. There are also cakes, pies and other type of food that has fruit as a main ingredient. I personally enjoy eating fruity cakes because they are not too sweet. They somewhat remove the guilt in eating too much of them as they are healthy too. Fruit drinks are also a favourite. They can quench your thirst and satisfy your cravings. Preparing fruit concoctions are a snap and can be done in the convenience of your own home.

I have plenty of personal fruit favourites, but I would have to say that mangoes, strawberries, apples and bananas are my top four. I almost always have them in the kitchen and just take one when I need a pick me upper or when I don’t want to eat anything heavy. These favourite fruits also helped me lose weight by keeping me full when I am this close to being tempted by a deliciously sinful chocolate cake in the fridge.

Every year, kids look forward to the annual family vacation. They get to spend a few days doing fun stuff and hopefully learning something new. Parents are often excited to get away from work for a few days and spend it relaxing with the kids and spouse.

Family vacations are meant to make families become closer. This promotes bonding because you will be travelling together as well as doing a lot of activities together. For families who are slowly drifting apart, a much needed family vacation is recommended. Just make sure that the activities you will be doing are enjoyed by all parties.

In family vacations, parents get to have that much needed R and R since some resorts and hotels offer a free nanny service to look after younger kids. They can get deep massages or just lounging around in the pool with a delicious drink. For older kids, there are numerous activities to try. For the adventurous type, there are trekking, spelunking, snorkelling and skiing activities to test courage and increase heart rates. For the artistic types, resorts and hotels offer music, dance and painting lessons too. Craft making is also available for those who want to get their hands busy.
