I am shopping for a pair of denim now. One that would make me look like I have just taken the best weight loss pills recently *grins* I found one that I like from Gap. It is the Perfect Boot Jeans in dark wash. It has a contoured waistband that shapes to the body, lifts the seat, and eliminates the gap at the back of the waist. Boot jeans are slightly fared at the legs and hence make the hips look slimmer. They also minimizes the curves of the thighs and derriere.

I am currently watching Beyond The Realm Of Conscience online now. What a long title eh? It is one of the grand production by TVB this year. I have been waiting to watch this costume drama ever since I saw the previews. I like the veteran casts such as Michelle Yim, Suzanna Kwan, Kara Hui and a few others. This is the first time that I am seeing Tavia Yeung being portrayed as a villain. Who is your favourite character?
Synopsis
Imperial Household Bureau is responsible for managing and directing all household services to the Emperor and the Imperial family in Tang Dynasty. It is composed of four departments, namely Jewels, Attire, Food and Furnishings. Lau Sam-ho (Charmaine Sheh) and Yiu Kam-ling (Tavia Yeung) are introduced into the bureau in their tender age and brought up in the disciplines of the palace. The two girls are diligent. Yuen Tsui-wan (Susanna Kwan), Head of the Jewels, and Chung Suet-ha (Michelle Yim), Head of the Attire, are both very fond of Ho for she is a kind-hearted young girl. Soon, they start fighting for the fellowship of Ho.
Ho always remembers her mother’s words left to her before she passed away, that she was told, “Doing good deeds, speaking good words, showing good will.” She lives her life of being gracious and kind-hearted in the palace. On the other hand, Ling believes her survival in palace is achieved through cruel and calculating tactics. She cheats and schemes her way to the top and finally becomes the concubine. Though she realizes that Ho has fallen in love with the chess master Ko Hin-yeung (Kevin Cheng), her jealousy still arouses by Ho’s attraction to the Emperor Lee Yi (Moses Chan). Fearing that she is losing power, she ruthlessly makes up a false allegation against Ho for murdering the Empress (Mary Hon) and condemns her to death. No matter how clever she is to scheme, things do not go the way she planned. By using a strong comparison of the two distinctive characters, Ho and Ling, the message of the drama is that “benevolence” is the only way to gain final victory.

I have been watching The Biggest Loser on tv (reruns) everyday. Seeing those contestants working out at the gym and pushing themselves to the limit are really inspiring. I would love to get myself a weight machine to do some exercise at home. Been looking around some home gyms and came across a few good quality ones at Weider. I especially like this Weider C720 System. Let’s hope this is what I would be getting for Christmas 🙂
Do you know that I do not have a black handbag? This is insane eh? A black handbag is a must-have for every woman. It is something that should not be left out in a woman’s closet. Some women even have a few black handbags. It has been in style for like, forever and will continue to be a favorite to women of all ages. Yet, I don’t have one. This is why I have been shopping around for one recently. Okay, I have also been shopping around for some eye creams to get rid of my dark eye circles but that’s the story for another day 🙂 I like bags that are big because I have too many things to carry with me….lipstick, comb, mobile phone, extra clothing for my daughter, wet wipes, tissues, pen, notepads and many more. I found some really gorgeous bags at Lulus.com.

What do you think? Nice? I like all of them. It’s going to be a tough decision to make.
I just came across this nifty little invention that helps to prevent a dripping umbrella. With this cool design, you don’t have to worry about a wet umbrella creating a mess in your place. The Wet Umbrella No More is designed by Seung Hee Son. Take it out when it rains and when you don’t need it, just fold it away. The umbrella converts into a stylish bag and all the squishy wet stuff stay inside.
