Life in Hollywood

I must have been watching too much TV, but somehow I can’t help but wonder how life is in Hollywood. With an abundance of spa and wellness centers, I am beginning to embrace the fact that life as a public figure must be stressful. I have seen how lucrative the industry is for Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery. Everyone needs to be pretty infront of the camera and every medical research is done to uplift the current breakthroughs in cosmetic surgery.

I don’t really know if people has gone overboard with the aesthetics but I am truly happy that there seems to be a constant improvement in the cosmetology field. I don’t really like watching someone being cut up and stitched all for the sake of beauty, but what the heck, at some point in my life, I might consider it.

Abdominoplasty

Since I was looking through some cosmetic surgery procedures, I came across one site that talked about weight management.  There are several countries like North Virginia tummy tucks are very popular. Tummy tucks are also known in medical terms as abdominoplasty which is a procedure in plastic surgery designed to correct excess skin and fat of the middle and lower abdomen. It usually takes between two and five hours to complete the procedure with the patient sedated under general or local anesthesia.

I have been so curious about plastic surgery procedures lately. Not that I want to subject myself to one. But maybe just curious if I will ever consider undergoing the trauma of being under the doctor’s table all for the sake of beauty.

Car Shopping

I went car shopping online again today. Not that I’m getting one anytime soon, but it was probably because I’ve been itching to get me one for quite some time now.

It felt like a crazy dream, as if I was peaking into a store that said “used BMW San Diego” and waking up to such a sad reality that I couldn’t afford it. haha!

Talk about loser. I know with my current salary, I will never be able to justify getting myself a car, especially because I live so close to the office and parking is just way too expensive that taking a cab to and from work everyday is 10x more affordable.

But then again, I might wake up one day, and realize that I need one. :-) I just need to find one valid reason.

Rhinoplasty

I have always wondered what rhinoplasty is all about. I know in layman’s term that it has something to do with a nose lift but what is it exactly? I looked up some sites and studied how rhinoplasty is performed and how it affects a person’s well being.

The nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, so its shape and how it is positioned against your face is important. I don’t know about you but I’m pretty content with how I look. Well it does matter a lot if you are in the industry where you stand infront of the camera… but I guess I’m just happy to stay behind it.

Yellow Pages

I’ve always been pessimistic about how yellow pages are not updated with the right information.  I guess that stems from the fact that we are still using printed yellow pages. The time between the information is gathered, printed and distributed vs the time that businesses seem to last here in the metro don’t really go well together. I don’t know if you notice but people are now moving towards a more real-time source of information, where you can get what you need in a whim, via email, 3G, SMS or just about anything. I don’t know why people are not yet taking advantage of the power of content via SMS Yellow Pages on-demand, or something similar.

I blogged about this because I came across san diego yellow pages and it’s pretty simple. Online yellow pages is definitely the way to go… but I am still hoping that one day, we will have one of those SMS based yellow pages on demand, where you get access to information just about anywhere, anytime, without having to log on via the internet.

Hollywood and Cosmetic Surgery

Blame it on watching too much TV for a day but I can’t really help but wonder how much of the hollywood celebrities’ faces have been altered.  With an abundance of clinics in Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery, it is truly amazing how people could look so much younger than they are.  Talk about paying for the price of beauty, I guess it’s a matter of lifestyle and the dictates of society.  If you are a public figure in the Beverly Hills area, it is a requirement that you look good infront of the camera.  I can just imagine how lucrative the industry must be for plastic surgery in that part of the world!

Busy Week

The week went by in a breeze. I didn’t even realize that I haven’t posted anything here for an entire week… nothing sensible at least.  This week’s been full – meetings here and there, project deliverables, late night in the office and a gas tank leaking fumes in my apartment to start it all. What a week indeed!!!

Never been this busy my whole life in HP… and yet adrenalin is still pumping like mad. I could barely get myself a shut eye eventhough my head hurts like crazy. I need to lull myself to sleep… but I just cant. A lot of things pop in my head that I don’t even know where the hell I should start in the first place.

I guess I better just ZZZZzzZZzzZzZZzzzzzzzzz……………..

My Amazing TXT SPK Experience

I made a rhetoric about my indignation on TXT SPK-ing a couple of weeks ago. To my utter amazement, albeit slightly annoyed, I saw myself in a similar predicament as Terence.
