count your blessings this christmas
A Christmas spent alone can be a pitiful thing when the neighbours are roasting the turkeys and the laughter of gift exchange ring so loud from the windows next door. While Christmas is about the diamonds and luxury gifts for the rich and famous, it’s really more than just these glittery and materialistic stuff.
I hope that amidst the turkeys, honey glazed ham, shiny gift wraps, christmas trees and colourful riboons this Christmas, you will count your blessings and spend it with someone dear to you. So go indulge yourself to the roast and toast but don’t neglect your treadmill once the festive season is over.

be fashionably and stylishly big
I believe that the fashion and new media have many women thinking that we should have lanky legs and a slender body like the celebrities and fashion models on the magazine covers and posters. As such, some women live with less than ‘perfect bodies’ go through life thinking that it’s terrible to be big.
But the truth is, there is nothing wrong being big and in fact, a curvy body is both sexy and feminine. All it takes is self confidence and a positive mindset plus wearing the right plus size clothing to accentuate your beautiful body. It is great to know that women can now go shopping for plus size clothing including plus size tops, plus size maternity, plus size swimwear and even plus size lingerie online. Personally, I am well impressed that many of these plus size clothing lines by top designers are catching on the trend and stylishly designed to cater to the needs of this group of special women. Not only do they make them feel and look modern and attractive, the clothing are carefully designed to bring out the best of the women’s body.
So don’t be disheartened and let that cocktail party pass you by just because you can’t fit into that gown on the clothing rack. Go shopping for the right plus size clothing online and look your best for you and your date. Be fashionably big.

more than just books
In the era of iPod and high tech mobile phones, information is easily within reach. Gone are the days where people buy mobile phones for communication alone. These days, mobile phones are tagged with features that exceed our expectations especially in the area of music and entertainment.
In the past, people only had printed books for information but now, the use of audio book has become so popular. Not only are they cheap to download, they present flexibility to the one seeking for information. All you need is a mp3 player or CD player and you can listen to your favourite books anywhere and anytime of the day! Perhaps this is great Christmas gift idea this season!
christmas bells in the streets of hong kong
With Christmas bells ringing in the malls and on the streets, this is a time where gift giving becomes the part of the excitement for those who are looking forward to the season.
It was nice to stay in a hotel room with a Christmas tree when we were visiting Disneyland on our last night in Japan. All the hotels are well decorated during this season with Christmas lights, attractive sconce on the walls and hanging lights for the room. As I go shopping in the Hong Kong departmental stores, there is an abundance of Christmas ornaments, wrappers, glitters and presents in every store. It is hard not to feel the spirit of the season as I stroll the streets of Hong Kong with late night shopping till 11.30pm everyday till 27 december at Causeway Bay. I find myself missing The Lanson Place as I pack to move to Kowloon tomorrow. I’ll be visiting Agnes B and Jipi Japa shoe stores again
