She said what..?

Meant to post this up yesterday to commomerate International Women's Day, but as the saying goes "better late than never".

"Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we're scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don't have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list."
First Lady, Michelle Obama

And this has never been more accurate.

Overheard

"I hope the nation and the people will forgive my mistakes"
The now former President Pervez Musharraf in a televised address largely devoted to defending his record following his announcement of resignation as president.

Something blue

"Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself"
Mahatma Gandhi

Congratulations Sujee & Zain! By the way, incase you're wondering...yes that is another Rusly creation, check out the train (below). All these gorgeous wedding dresses are starting to give me an itch! Calling Keanu..anybody???

Overheard...

"They do seem like public property in a way. They served me well - I don't know if I'm supporting them or they're supporting me" Dolly Parton on her infamous breasts.

Happy Leap Year! Can't believe February is almost over...

Thought of the day

Dedicated to someone dear to me..hang in there..

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." President Theodore Roosevelt

Denial

"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt."
(Mark Twain)

"When you are oblivious to the obviously obvious, that is Denial!"
(Cupcake)

"It's not denial. I am just selective about the reality i accept"
(Bill Watterson)

"Hope is the denial of reality"
(Margaret Weis)

some people just don't get it. no matter how many times you tell them.
stop telling me to move on, when it is evident it is you who is still stuck in the past.
:(

Say what?

People always secretly hate the rich and beautiful.

Long Nguyen, the editor of Flaunt magazine, which recently ran a pictorial spread of Carla Bruni, President Nicolas Sarkozy's girlfriend

Don't think this applies to me *hehehe*

Good

"All we can ever do in the way of good to people... is to encourage them to do good to themselves."

- Randolph Bourne

Say what?

"I don't have a problem. Seventeen hours a day online is fine." Lee Chang-Hoon, 15, at a camp for compulsive Internet users in South Korea

Stars start appearing before my eyes after two hours so either that makes me abnormal or this guy is a freak who practically lives, breathes and swears by the internet!?! Makes me wonder if he even finds the time to visit the loo..

Love is in the air

"What a grand thing, to be loved!
What a grander thing still, to love!" Victor Hugo


Congratulations and best wishes to the newly weds - Fezah & Faizul

Classy

Despite my continued opinion that she's nothing but a trophy wife, I must confess Katie Holmes looks a winner in this single-shoulder gown with the flat jeweled sandals and clutch finishing off this rather classy look. Can't imagine Posh pulling off this successfully *shudder*

"A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes" Vera Wang

The wisdom of Mourinho

Why I will miss the Not So Special One..

"It is omelettes and eggs. No eggs - no omelettes! It depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have class one, two or class three eggs and some are more expensive than others and some give you better omelettes. So when the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there, then you have a problem." Shorn of the likes of injury victims Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Ricardo Carvalho and Didier Drogba, Mourinho cooked up a surreal analogy ahead of Tuesday's fateful draw with Rosenberg.

"In the second half it was whistle and whistle, fault and fault, cheat and cheat. I know the referee did not walk to the dressing rooms alone at half-time." Mourinho, claiming Alex Ferguson had influenced referee Neale Barry at halftime during a League Cup semi-final against Manchester United in January 2005. He was fined for improper conduct.

...and my personal favourite..

"Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one." Mourinho introduces himself to the English press after arriving from Porto in June 2004.

Quote of the day

"I learned early on that if you don't want your memos to get you in trouble some day, just don't write any" - Vice President Dick Cheney, who added that his "files are pretty thin".

It's people like you Mr Cheney that can (probably?) get away with this..

Quote of the day

Something to ponder over the next 3 hours before the weekend is officially over..

"The 'Net is a waste of time, and that's exactly what's right about it." (William Gibson)

The things people say

"I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute." Paris Hilton, when asked by Barbara Walters, how she is now after being sent back to jail.

You must think I've got some sick twisted obsession with Paris - God fordbid NO!! Rather I find this quite amusing seeing how this is just another PR stunt on her part. How I'm wishing I could make her eat her own words...dumb indeed, cute? Never was and never have been.

Quote of the day

Something for Monday..

"We want them to think, ‘Wow, I think I’d like to spend my eternity here.’"
THERESA PAGE, president of the board of trustees at Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, N.Y., which offers a brunch in its chapel and crematorium.

Quote of the day

Mental health is not information you share like where you got your great haircut." Sarah Rakovshik, an American therapist who has lives in Moscow, on the difficulties of finding a therapist overseas.

We, the society in general, need to understand that (having) mental health problems do not necessarily mean being crazy, looney or delusional...until that perception is changed, mental health will still remain a taboo..

Quote of the day

I should be sleeping right now but I'm on a roll tonight..my final post for today.

Lawyers have a lot of power to decide whether a marriage ends in divorce or not. People who are thinking about getting a divorce are very vulnerable." Jeffery Leving, a prominent Chicago lawyer, expressing indignation over a racy ad campaign sponsored by a divorce law firm.

Lawyers are intimidating enough not only with their legal mumbo jumbo but in their dark suits too!

Global warming

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting" Sheryl Crow's suggestion on how to wipe out global warming

And anyone caught using more than x number of toilet paper will be fined and sent to prison for 3 months. Yikes!!!!

Quote of the week

I know it's too early to be calling this my "quote of the week" but I just wanted to share this with someone...

This was in tonight's episode of Desperate Housewives..during the luncheon "Gaby's mystery date" scene:

"Don't hijack a Ferrari if you don't know how to drive (it)" Gaby to 'grownup wannabe' Dana after Dana planted a smoocher on her

Gaby is so my bitch!!

Seriously Dana...that hairdo was such a B-A-D-A-S-S!!
