An article from Hendric's

Its only a few days to go before the start of Chinese New Year celebration which falls on the 7th and 8th February 2008 here in Malaysia and around the world especially Asia. Chinese New Year is observed as a public holiday here in Malaysia and other countries and territories where a sizable Chinese population resides. And not forgetting that its the year of the Rat this year based on the Chinese horoscopes.

Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays and is an important holiday in East Asia. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th which is called Lantern Festival.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had a strong influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. It is celebrated in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Canada etc.

The Chinese New Year celebrations are marked by visits to kin, relatives and friends. New clothings are usually worn to signify a new year with the colour red is liberally used in all decorations. Red packets are given to juniors and children by the married and elders. Lion dances are common during Chinese New Year. It is believed that the loud beats of the drum and the deafening sounds of the cymbals together with the face of the lion dancing aggressively can evict bad or evil spirits.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year and a great holiday and here's some nice pictures of Chinese New Year celebration around the world.

Gorillapod

noreply@blogger.com (Anitha's) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 11:36:00 +0000

Fans of cameras and photography, don't like to carry a tripod around? Well most of us don't but sometimes you'll find yourself where the light levels are so low that you really have to use one. the problem with most so-called "table top" tripods is finding a convenient flat surface to put the tripod on to get the height you need.

Here comes Gorillapod, funky- looking mini-tripods come in a variety of sizes to suit everything from compact digital cameras to full sized, zoom-lens equipped DSLRs.

The legs of Gorillapod are made up of many interlocking ball-joints, which means that the legs can be twisted into almost any shape you can think of. On top of that, each ball joint has a grip required to let you bend the legs around and grip almost anything (vertical lamp posts, chairs, etc) without slipping. The Gorillapod are also light and small enough to stow away in any bag.

Sexy Boots

noreply@blogger.com (Anitha's) — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 05:40:00 +0000

Thigh high boots really don't have to have anything beyond their shaft height to be sexy. But these stunners take sex appeal to a whole new level. There's really only one way to wear a boot like this effectively, and that's with a skirt , preferably a short one, to show off the sexy boots in question.

Knee high boots are incredibly versatile and generally flattering. And ranging in style from casual to chic, there's a knee high boot for nearly every occasion. The stiletto heels, black uppers and pointy toes would be hot enough, but the two well-placed buckles send these stunners right off the charts. You have to show boots like these off, so pair them with a skirt or cropped pants for maximum effect.

Sex and the City: The Movie

noreply@blogger.com (Anitha's) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:51:00 +0000

Yep, the girls are definitely back, and this time on the big screen. Being a fan of the series, it's definitely what I have been waiting for. The film will follow the continuing adventures of the series four main characters - Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, as they live their lives in Manhattan four years after the series ended. Stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon are all on board to reprise their roles, while the film will be written and directed by Michael Patrick King, who executive produced the original television series.

Additionally, Chris Noth, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler and Jason Lewis will return as the women's love interests. Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) has also joined the cast of the film and will play Carrie Bradshaw's assistant, a new character to be introduced in the film. The series was missed by many of the SATC fans when it ended but seeing it coming back to the big screen was definitely a great thing and worth waiting for. Here are some of the pictures from the upcoming movie which is slated for screening on May 30, 2008.

Swimsuits

noreply@blogger.com (Anitha's) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 11:42:00 +0000

So you don't have the body of a supermodel. So what? That doesn't mean you can't find a swimwear that will flatter your figure or give the illusion of a great bod. There are many type of swimwear that caters for women with different body sizes.

Swimsuits for a slimmer body

An Empire waist and detailing at the chest balance big hips by drawing the eye up. You can choose a built-in-tummy control panel or a suit that has significantly more spandex.

Swimsuits for a trimmer long torso

Tankinis and bandeau tops are the perfect choice for a trimmer long torso as it shorten the length of the body. A one-piece needs an Empire waist or detailing below the bust to reduce the expanse of fabric covering an elongated torso. You should avoid high-neck tops, which can call attention to the body’s length.

Swimsuits for small bust

You can maximize a small bust by wearing swimsuits with underwires, boning and padding as it will add shape and fullness to your chest. Wearing a top with a funky pattern, polka dots or embellishments will distract from a petite chest. Or you can wear swimsuits with horizontal stripes or prints, which can add a cup size.

Swimsuits for a slimmer lower body

A high cut in the leg but nothing higher than the hip bone helps heavy thighs look slimmer. In this case, you should leave boy shorts at the store as they make the derrière and thighs look bigger. Emphasize your top with color blocks, light colors or embellishment at the chest as they’ll draw the eye away from a heavier bottom.

Swimsuits for big bust

You'll need extra support for your girls! Halter-top swimsuits offer good support and still provide sexy cleavage. If you prefer a one-piece, look for pieces with some structure in the bust, like soft foam cups.

Swimsuits to banish belly bulge

If you have a belly bulge, fret not. You can go for a plunging halter top as it draws the eye up and away from any pooch below. Details or a bold pattern on the midsection can also be positively distracting because a busy print keeps the eye moving so it doesn’t settle on a less-than-flat tummy.

Cool Speaker

noreply@blogger.com (Anitha's) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:56:00 +0000

Have you ever thought of letting everyone around you to listen to your favourite music collections on your iPod, PDA or Sony Ericsson mobile phone? Well, nothing is impossible, thanks to Altec Lansing's Orbit-M speaker. This tiny handheld device is meant to connect up to your iPod, PDA or Sony Ericsson mobile phone and turn it from a personal audio device into a loud boombox for others to hear as well.

The palm-sized, lightweight Orbit-MP3 speaker system is an ideal iPod or MP3 player companion when you want a break from headphones. Or slip it out of a pocket or purse for an attention-getting way to share your tunes anytime, anywhere. The full-bodied, 360-degree sound will make your friends wonder where the speakers are. And with its long battery life, the music keeps playing long into the night.

This cool speaker comes with two extra connectors besides the default 3.5mm stereo audio jack. There's a 2.5mm stereo jack adaptor for some mobile phones and PDAs that use it and a special connector to output audio from a Sony Ericsson mobile phone.

Happy New Year 2008

Nail Art

noreply@blogger.com (Anitha's) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 05:51:00 +0000

Nail art, the practice of painting decorative designs on your fingernails, is a fun way to brighten up your everyday look or accessorize a special occasion outfit. There are a variety of nail art designs available, ranging from subtle and understated to funky and outrageous. For example, you could choose to paint flowers on your nails for a date or spell out the name of your favorite athletic team on the day of the big game. While the more intricate designs are best left to a professional, it’s possible to create simple nail art at home.

There are many different methods you can use to come up with nail art designs. Many beginners like to copy from pictures they have found on the internet or in nail art books. Some larger nail salons also offer classes for people interested in learning how to do their own nail art. However, even people with minimal artistic talent can learn to freehand geometric shapes or floral designs.

While most nail art designs are created simply using various colors of nail polish, you can add sparkle to your designs by mixing glitter into one or more of the polish colors before painting your nails. Using stick-on nail art jewels is another great way to jazz up a simple nail art motif. Tiny stickers can make it easier to create more elaborate designs.

Once you’ve finished your design, proper maintenance will help keep your nail art in top condition for as long as possible. Apply a coat of protective clear nail polish every two or three days for the duration of your manicure. Wear gloves when doing tasks that may damage your nails and resist the urge to pick or bite your nails.

Hair Extensions

noreply@blogger.com (Anitha's) — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 12:28:00 +0000

Hair extensions are getting more popular today for those who wants to change their hairstyles for a better look or be more attractive. Even celebrities get hair extensions for various movie roles. The celebrity factor is what has catapulted the popularity of hair extensions over the last 5 years. Once thought as a rich person’s service, hair extensions have become much more affordable and even practical for everyday consumers.The main reason for getting hair extensions is to add length to hair style, although they can be used to thicken the hair or even add highlights. Hair extensions offer a simple solution to fine hair and can add a little glamour to thick, curly or wavy hair in any color or style.

Hair extensions are used by many people around the world to add length, fullness, or color to one's own natural hair. Even celebrity like Jessica Simpson has her own hair extensions line called HairDo.

There are few types of hair extensions such as human hair extensions, synthetic hair extensions, clip-in hair extensions, wefted hair extensions among others. Human hair, unlike synthetic hair can be straightened with a flat iron, curled with heat, or chemically treated to perm or dye the hair. Thin and fine hair becomes full and thicker. Short hair transforms to long, luxurious hair.

Synthetic hair extensions can be applied the same way as human hair extensions. These fibers are man-made and especially designed to create hair extension and hairpiece hairstyles. Most of our synthetic extensions are made from Kanekalon Vibralite® modacrylic fiber. Synthetic hair extensions come in a large variety of exciting colors.

Clip-In Hair Extensions are easy to attach and can be perfectly matched with your own hair - giving you longer hair, lowlights, highlights, or added volume. All clip–in hair extensions come in one or multiple pieces (wefts) of varying widths. These extensions can be clipped–in or out in minutes and are virtually undetectable. Wefted Hair Extensions are simply a curtain of hair used to layer in to your own hair to add color, length and or volume.

Most human hair extensions can be treated as real hair, albeit more gently. Since human hair extensions are usually heavily processed to achieve uniform color and texture, a mild shampoo is recommended, along with a light conditioner to reduce tangling. Cool water is recommended when shampooing, to reduce or prevent matting and excessive tangling. Having to remove snarls and tangles loosens the foundation of the integrations and further damages the hair.

The same care taken when shampooing must also be used when styling artificial hair. It's often recommended that the texture of hair purchased should be the style in which the hair is worn. Using heat to straighten curly hair, or to curl straight hair, damages it. The more damage the hair sustains, the shorter the lifespan of the artificial hair.

Great Fashion:Cameron Diaz

noreply@blogger.com (Anitha's) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 18:20:00 +0000

Cameron Diaz, the Californian girl with bright blond hair (she dyed them black recently) and sunny smile, is one of the most glamorous actress in Hollywood. Her great sense of humor, sparkling personality and not to mention that killer bod, catapulted Diaz into Hollywood's elite.

What I loved about Diaz is that she has a great dress sense and often looks good in whatever she wears, plus she oozes sex appeal. She often sports ethnic-inspired fashions and her look is totally eclectic. Diaz has great legs to die for and loves to show them off in super mini-dresses most of the time.

Even though she can bare a lot of skin, Diaz never comes off looking like a tart in her minis because of her lithe frame. She mostly sticks to looser breezier fabrics that don't reveal her entire shape. This lanky girl looks great with gowns too at the movie premieres and apart from that, it seems like Diaz loves her jeans as well, wearing them dressed up or down. Take a look at these pictures of Diaz in some of her best outfits to various events.
