My Groovy Google Homepage

Instead of  the usual homepage greeting me, I now have my google redesigned to a more groovy one. I use it as my default page for Mozilla Firefox Browser.  See my new Google Search Engine page below with the photo of my idol Angelina Jolie on it. 

I was able to Personalize Google through Groovle. Groovle is actually an amalgamation of the words Groovy and Google. This aims to customize homepages with images from celebrities, sports, nature and even your own personal or family photo. This plugin gives more life to your customary dull page. It gives two choices for the user either use the default images or create your own by uploading your photos online. The additional photos may not be useful to the search results but somehow it adds a little inspiration to see my idol on the screen. 

Most of the time I use Google to search for relevant journal articles, research about photography, find lyrics, look for the latest price of items, airfares, movie reviews and more.  If you haven’t Googled yet, then it is time for you to find the answers to all your questions. I compared it to other search engines and noticed that I received better results in Google. This only explains why it’s the top search engine eversince it started.

Weight Watching on Wednesdays - 4th entry

Well well well. So what did I have yesterday? Please read on.  I’m posting it fast so I won’t forget the details.  It is easier to create blog when the ideas are still fresh but when it lapsed for 2-3 days, I don’t feel like recording it anymore.

1. For breakfast - banana and yoghurt.
2. For lunch- I had eggs for main menu (both scrambled and boiled eggs), Moo Det Diaw (dried and fried pork), rice and orange for dessert.
3. Whole corn with margarine for snack.
4. Joined body jam for an hour.
5. Only 20 abdominal crunch this time.
6. Walking and biking for 40 minutes.
7. For dinner- salted dried beef, fish fillet and rice.
8. For fluids only water intake.

Save the Best for Last

So I could end up using it in times of emergency or not using at all. The latter explains one’s attitude toward inevitable situation in life which normally is useful to take precautions rather then being left without any choice at all.  

But others I suppose would disagree with this idea that I’m trying to drive at.  In a way other people perceive material things as fragile, or needs to be preserved and reserved only for special occassions.  Just like special gift items during wedding, birthdays or anniversaries. I remember a forwarded email which goes like this….

"A man recently suffered a great loss - his wife had passed away. While going through her belongings, he discovers the lingerie that he bought for her, lying in her drawer untouched. He picks it up and strokes it lovingly. He tells you that she never wore it, claiming that it was too good to use and she was saving it for a special occasion. He puts it down and then picks up a beautiful perfume bottle, still filled to the brim. It was her favourite perfume, he says. But again, it was untouched. And again, for the same reason - she was saving it for a special occasion."

It feels frustrating to read the story isn’t it? Reality bites!
