So here are the simple rules for this meme:-

It’s a very simple tag. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.) Write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general. Tag as many people as you want.

Blogging & Ice-Cream

August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Yesterday I blogged about Blogging & Sex! Today something equally likable by most people and that is Ice-Cream! Christ Garrett who hosts Chris Garrett on New Media is one of those sites that I love to visit. To me, Chris famous Killer Flagship Content is a must read by bloggers! Thats what caught my eye in the first place and I went over to check it out and its already more than half a year and I am still going back for more! Go there and download the e-book for free!

Back to the point, Chris compares Blogging to Ice-Cream and I think it is fabulous to connect this two diverse thing but hey! it is indeed very much alike. To know more why not hop over to Chris place to find out why! You may even disagree with him and give him something to think about!

Sex is in the Air!

August 29, 2007 | 9 Comments

Of late a few of my blogger friends have been thinking a lot about ‘SEX’! Thats a good thing, even God said that too! I am just amazed at these good friends how creative they are to connect Sex with their line of work or passion.

Firstly Vivienne blogged about Sex in Advertising! Hey this is a great post, go and read that and learn some new tricks to advertise your products! Wink! Hi! Vivienne hope you don’t mind me borrowing one of your photos for this post. :) Her question was ‘Does Sex Sells’? Think about it first then go and read what the Pro’s say. To me sex definitely sells! Look at the F1 and other Racing events, see how they parade those beautiful, scantily clad ladies around! This happens at Computer shows too! Applying The Law of Attraction I guess.

Then kuanhoong did a post on “10 Reasons blogging is like Sex” and he is quite creative to come out with so many reasons! Do you agree that blogging is like sex or having sex? I disagree with kuanhoong on one point and that is sex/blogging is addictive! My question to him, who is a young bachelor, that after 20 years or so I wonder how many couples still say it is addictive! Perhaps the saying in my hay days holds true that in the beginning it is thrice daily to a few months later thrice weekly and finally after 40 years to try weakly!

Now coming to Jean, who thinks that Great Food is like Great Sex! I tried to locate her post on this but couldn’t but I noticed that under her Labels the highest number of post was on you guess right Food! So I wonder is there a correlation to what she says! :) I am sure you’ll agree with me after reading her blog that Food or __ __ __ must be her passion! Oh we understand she and her DH are married not long!

So friends, if you want to know more about the relationship between Sex and Blogging, Advertising or Food please learn from them! Cheers! Have a Blessed National Day Celebration!

Celebrating With The Famous

August 28, 2007 | 1 Comment

This is a long outstanding meme from God’s Little Angel! Quite an interesting meme where it requires you to do some research and I greatly benefited from it. I am so glad to share the same Birth Months of some really famous people in History as well as important World Events one of which has eternal consequences!

Three Important Events in November from History :-

1. Arab Israeli War - Israel’s Independence since becoming a Nation on 30th May 1948.

2. Harry S. Truman became President of the US; strong influence on world events.

3. The Malayan Emergency. - Struggle with the Malayan Communist Party. Lifted in 1960.

Five Famous People from History :-

1. Martin Luther 10th Nov. 1483; founder of the Protestant Reformation.

2. Madam Curie 7th Nov. 1867; twice honoured Nobel Price Laureate on Physics.

3. Sun Yat Sen 12th Nov. 1912; Father of Modern China.

4. Billy Graham 7th Nov. 1918; World’s Greatest Evangelist.

To me, the Rich, Hollywood Stars and Pop Stars don’t count as important people since they are not remembered for more than 50 Years or get their names on Annals of History! Thanks God’s Little Angel for giving me this meme.
