"What I learned from dating 100 men"

Read this article from MSN today and the lady in it kinda inspired me. Haha, who knows, maybe when I reach her age and am still single I might do just that. Afterall, her search wasn't in vain.

Earth Hour


Didn't go to Esplanade park for the earth hour concert they were having. Just stayed home and made sure my room lights were off during that hour. Think they should do this at least once a month for the effect to be relatively significant. Then slowly make it into a bi-monthly affair. =)

How Stuff Works

Was watching Channel Newsasia this morning before going to work and they introduced this website http://www.howstuffworks.com Have heard of this website when I was in the U and found it quite interesting as there's alot to learn from the site. They have different categories for you to browse through and I found this under the leisure astrological sign part:

October 7 Birthday Astrology
by
Jill M. Phillips

Libras born on October 7 need to come out of their emotionally protective shell to meet their destiny. They have a strong philosophical bent, which they often express through humanitarian activities. Because of their tendency to be moody on occasion, they need to become involved in lighthearted, life-affirming activities.

Friends and Lovers
October 7 individuals rarely show all aspects of their nature to any one person. This is not to mislead but because they are insecure about their feelings. It may also be difficult for them to be honest with a lover unless they feel unparalleled closeness. They look for a soul mate, not just a partner.

Children and Family
October 7 natives draw strength from their upbringing. Many of their humanitarian aims have a basis in the way they were raised. When they become parents, they are anxious to reveal the aspects of life that might otherwise go unnoticed -- teaching their youngsters about compassion and caring.

Health
Because of their deep concern for the environment, October 7 people often live a "green" lifestyle. They may prefer to walk instead of drive or eat organically grown produce. Their commitment to causes can lead to emotional exhaustion. Meditation helps to replenish their energies.

Career and Finances
October 7 men and women are committed to careers that allow them access to changing public opinion. They aren't materialistic, yet they have the ability to appreciate what money can do, especially for those less fortunate.

Dreams and Goals
It is the desire of October 7 men and women to use the influence they possess to help others. Although their opinions are often extreme, they have the dedication and commitment to make a difference. They know how difficult it is to balance personal and professional responsibilities, and they try to strike a happy medium.

I agree with the part about preferring to live a "green" lifestyle. There's a Earth Hour 60 by WWF which I've joined and it's simply a movement for people around the world to actually not consume any energy for an hour on a specific date. Think it's quite interesting, especially when you see the whole city shutting off their lights together at that particular time.
