I’ve been listening to Gwen Stefani’s “The Sweet Escape” this week. I don’t like some of the songs from there but overall it was alrite. I picked up a few songs (I like) from the album to share with you.

If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own world
And I could be your favorite girl (forever) perfectly together
Tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet? (sweet escape)

Wind it up
Wind it up
Wind it up
Wind it up
Odl lay odl lay odl lay hey!
[ YouTube ] Wind It Up

I’m feeling yummy head to toe (you see me)
Ain’t got no patience so let’s go (you see me)
Look, I’m diet drama wanna spend the night? don’t bring pajamas
Man, there’s so much heat beneath these clothes (you see me)

Don’t get it twisted, don’t get clever
This is the most craziest **** ever
Uh oh, whoa

You were the first to want me
The first to love me
The first to need me
Who was the last to know you?
The last to love you?
The last to hold you?

A part from her extreme blondness, she’s one of my favorite female singers and love her songs.

I’ve tested the Google Reader since it came out but in the beginning it gave me errors while importing my subscriptions, messed up the folders and tags so I continued with my Bloglines.

After the newly upgraded Google Reader I was able to transfer all my subscriptions successfully. Now I’ve completely switched across Google Reader and loving it.

Some functionalities on Google Reader I like to see are:

• to check numbers of subscriber to individual feed,
• to show feed description,
• to have the left hand panel draggable or collapsable,
• may be improve in iconomy would be great too, like adding favicons to each feeds as they have for Bloglines and Rojo.

I’m sure the developers are improving as we speak cos’ just now I’ve discovered this new feature called “Trends” where you can view the stats of your reading trends by “Last 30 days”, “Time of day” and “Day of week”. It also tells you how much you’ve read in a brief summary as my stats here:

From your 453 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 5,008 items, starred 0 items, and shared 15 items.

There are “Reading trends”, “Subscription trends” and “Tags” where the more items a tag has, the bigger it appears. The more of those items you have read, the darker it is. In my case, my tags are my folders.

Seems like you got more control over your reading habits and quite fun checking out neat little stats along the way. Have fun analyzing your “Trends“.

So it is Burma’s 59th Independence Day since Burma achieved its independence from the British colonial rule on 4th January 1948.

I thought of writing something about our Independence Day but nothing came out from my head.
Are we celebrating?
Are we happy?
Are we independent?

I don’t feel a thing about it, I don’t even remember sometimes.
I thought of putting up our flag on this post. Then I got confused which flag to put.
I thought of writing as “Myanmar” then I messed up with “Burma”.
I tried to remember how we celebrate Independence Day back in Yangon, the capital city then I remembered it has changed.
I tried hard to remember something about Independence Day…nothing…nothing at all.

Oh well, what a shameful state of mind I’m having. Anyway at least I got the date right.

So Salute!

I don’t feel like eating these days. I lost interest in eating especially while I’m into something I won’t even bother to look at the food.

It’s not that I’m dieting or anything. I never have in mind to diet and I don’t need to as I’m genetically structured as a tiny-thin homo sepian. Just that, these days I’m having very bad eating habit. When I eat, I eat alot and when I don’t, I don’t touch a thing.

Am I sick? No, I’m just fine. Physically I’m all set. May be I’m mentally sick.

The most common element surrounding ALL Eating Disorders is the inherent presence of a low self esteem.

OUCH! It hurts yet so true. What kind of “low self-esteem”, I’m yet to discover.

I’m 5’2″ with 46kg. It’s been a few years my height and weight never go over that limit. I guess it’s normal that I stop growing in height but the weight is limitless so should fluctuate from time to time.

According to some standard weight vs height charts, I got to have around 52kg for my height. So I’m surely under weight. I do some checking and found out these common types of eating disorders and their symptoms.

Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is an extremely dangerous, life-threatening eating disorder in which a person intentionally deprives themselves of food and can literally starve to death in an attempt to be what they consider “thin.”

Binge-Eating
Out-of-control episodes of consuming abnormally large amounts of food. People with this disorder eat whether they are hungry or not and continue eating well past being uncomfortably full.

Compulsive Eating Disorder
Compulsive eaters feel incapable of controlling how much or how often they eat. They may feel unable to stop eating, eat very fast, eat when they’re not hungry, eat when they’re only alone, or eat nearly non-stop throughout the day.

Bulimia Nervosa
Consuming large amounts of food in a very short period of time, and immediately “purge,” ridding their bodies of the just-eaten food by self-inducing vomiting, taking enemas, or abusing laxatives or other medications.

Obesity
obesity leads to chronic and often life-threatening eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa.

Out of those, the most relevant one would be … Anorexic? My sister teases me everyday that I’m anorexia cos’ I’m too thin compare to her (her so-called “Growing Child”, rather a little PIG!). No, I don’t think I’m Anorexia. Anorexics are those who starve themselves and dying to do anything to be thin. I’m definitely NOT anorexia, cos’ I don’t like being thin and I never starve myself.

I prefer soup and gravy these days than solid food. I’m sick of meat, it sticks in my teeth. I hate milk, I don’t like cereal, I have a problem with butter, margarine, I dislike wheat and I’m scare of fruits. I guess my thinness is cos of deficiency in protein, vitamins, fibers, carbohydrates, etc in my diet. Haha I’ll die of malnutrition very soon.

Nah…My guess is, I’m just having mid-20s crisis such as stress, worries, laziness, family problems, life hardships, parenting, kids, too much day dreaming, etc, which push me to have eating disorder.

So, any of you have any irregular eating patterns or any solution to solve my eating habit, do share with me too.

I’m enjoying this post.
“Everyone’s Happy New Year Is Ruining This Country’s Level of Productivity”

I’m laughing at these strips.

My Bull Shit

How Dare You

I’m changing Liz’s “this” word.

I don’t like this.

to…

I don’t like you.

I don’t think I love this.

to…

I don’t think I love you.

I’m thinking which changed phrase would sound better.

Wishing you all a Happy and a Prosperous New Year 2007 from mayvelous.com

Happy New Year 2007

If it didn’t bring you joy
just leave it behind
Let’s ring in the new year
with good things in mind

Let every bad memory
that brought heartache and pain
And let’s turn a new leaf
with the smell of new rain

Let’s forget past mistakes
making amends for this year
Sending you these greetings
to bring you hope and cheer

Happy New Year!
