Google Translate Rocks!


I've been writing UNIQUE CONTENT all morning and afternoon. Unique to a point that I am completely disenchanted with myself when the search engine returned a check result of  'Please rewrite 40% of your article. They're not unique'. Oh yeah? @#&^$%# YOU TOO! 

I don't know what it is that you do when you're bored out of your mind but I kinda mess around with everything around me. There was one time I messed around with my camera and it was kinda fun in the end. I would love to show you the link but the blog got suspended for some reason (some insecure thwat reported my blog as being too political. At least, I wasn't arrested lar, like my friend and fellow blogger Chan Lilian)

This time, I messed around with Google Translate. At first it was to type in my sons' names to see how it would be pronounced in Japanese and then it went on to 'Czech' and then 'Ukranian' and then 'French'. Of course, by then I have to try MY name. Laughed till I cried, I tell you. 

And then I thought, 'Hey, you can actually learn a new language with this thing!' One thing led to another, I tried it on my phone and thought, 'Hey, I can actually bring the phone around and Google Translate everything from where to find the toilet to 'excuse me, you're ugly'. (did I just turn 'Google Translate' into a verb? Whatever) 

Korea, here I come! And this...is what I am going to say when I meet a cute dude.

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...
