I have come across people designing t-shirts, mugs, mousepads and a host of other stuff through Cafepress and I must say that I’m impressed. I think it may be fun to try my hand at this for a change rather than writing articles and blog posts.
It seems interesting to be able to put whatever grpahics you want on to an item and then buy it for yourself. Maybe I can try putting a picture of my son on to a kid’s shirt and then see how it turns out. Then, perhaps I can buy it for him and make him wear it!
Anyway, let’s see if I can be good at this. I don’t know when I will be fired up enough to give this a go, but it is something to think about for the next few weeks. When I have the time, then maybe I will give it a try and then put it here for visitors to give their comments.
Now, that will be fun indeed!

Even among Asians nowadays, living together without marrying is a very common arrangement. In fact, in Hong Kong, it is getting rare for couples not to live together for a while before marrying.
I guess people, including older folks, don’t really care anymore about living together before marriage. Generally, as long as the relationship is stable and the partner is acceptable, most parents will allow their kids to move out to live with their significant other. The days of requiring everyone to get married before living as a couple are gone.
So, in a way, you can say that a lot of people these days are living in sin. Maybe the fact that Hong Kong, being a crowded city with most people being squeezed into smallish apartments, motivates a lot of young people to break free. Once they start working and earning their own money, the tendency is to move out and rent their own place. So, if they are already dating, it is only natural that both parties live together to share the rental burden and/or enjoy life as a twosome.
Maybe to those who are conservative or religious, such arrangement is morally unacceptable. But one of my relatives did ask how many people nowadays remain a virgin until their wedding day? Of course, there are but it is no longer the norm. He also argued that it doesn’t really matter whether you live in sin or not if you are already kissing, touching or having sex with your partner when you go on dates.
Well, my relative just doesn’t believe that people nowadays will only hold hands when dating. To him, if you are already sharing passionate kisses and touching each other where you should not when you are out on dates, that is just not much different than living in sin. Do you agree?

As age catches up, one tends to look for the best face cream to get rid of wrinkles and lines. Anything to have a smoother skin and look younger would be a great product to have to belie our age.
I guess nobody likes to look haggard and old as people would naturally be attracted to beauty. While some people have a natural young look, others have to rely on creams to delay the aging process.
Although creams can make one look younger if used consistently over a period of time, not all can achieve the desired effect. You do need to be careful when choosing the right product to ensure it is adequately tested and suitable for your skin type. Otherwise, you might well be wasting your money on something that doesn’t work.

Besides blogging, one other way for people to network is through all those social websites. Facebook, Multiply, My Space and a host of other sites with some being targeted at certain segments of the population.
I do have accounts at some of these sites. While most are inactive, I do try to log in now and then for Facebook. That’s because most of my friends have an account at Facebook and that kind of “force” me to log in once a week at least to check for updates and what not.
I have to say that social sites are great for networking and keeping in touch. But the problem is there are too many out there nowadays that I get swamped. For instance, some of my friends are active at other sites instead of Facebook. So, I get all these invitations to open an account at those sites they are active in.
Well, I’m sorry to say that most of the time, I just ignore such invitations. Not that I don’t appreciate the invitations but I just can’t keep up. Having too many accounts is not necessarily a good thing because I just end up being an inactive member.
So, nowadays, I just stick to Facebook. Once in a while, I will log into my Twitter account just to follow back those who are kind enough to follow me. However, I find that Twitter is popular among those that are into online marketing. I haven’t discover how to use it to my advantage yet although many people seems to like Twitter more than Facebook.
Anyway, as I have mentioned, social networking sites are great and useful. But they do have the potential to take up a lot of your time as I have discovered. It does require a certain amount of self-discipline not to linger there longer than necessary. Otherwise, you will end up chatting and leaving messages non-stop to all your friends there!

When I was a teenager, I did get acne treatment to get rid of all those unsightly marks on my face. Those were the days when I would stare at myself in the mirror and start counting all the pimples that appeared.
Being a teenager then, acne kind of caused a little embarassment. Most of my friends had a smooth face and it was certainly easy to be envious of those who sailed through their teenage years without any acne problem.
Anyway, if you have acne, the right thing to do is to look for a solution and get proper treatment. It can help you to control your problem and over time, the acne may be gone completely to reveal a beautiful face!
