You are beautiful
By DGH | January 25, 2012
Being fat or bulgy doesn’t mean you’re ugly. It’s all the bad media campaign plus society dictating and brainwashing women that being fat is no good.
How many women have died or suffered from being anorexic? How many models have died because they were told they have to be thin as a reed to be models?
I’ve been following a blog by a twins who’s advocacy is to tell big or plus size women that size doesn’t matter. It’s not how much they weigh that matters; it’s their personality and how they see themselves that count. Read the rest of this entry »

Challenges of crafting
By DGH | January 18, 2012
I’ve got a lot of craft projects I want to make but since I don’t know where to buy the materials I’ll be needing. For example, I wanted to buy colored art papers but paper stores here in Prague don’t carry that kind of product. Dang! It has somehow discouraged me to continue with my desire. I miss that bookstore back in my country where they sell all sorts of supplies for office and school. It was my favorite place to hang out especially the book section.
Anyway, I resort to being resourceful and made use of whatever that is available here. With some luck, I was also able to find a store which sells arts and crafts materials, though they have limited varieties, its better than none at all. I’ll be throwing a party for my son’s birthday and I am trying to make some decorations which I found ’round the internet. I’m kinda excited so far with the results. Can’t wait to see all the finished projects make a show on that special day!

That funny shirt
By DGH | December 29, 2011
While looking at my favorite website earlier, I noticed a small ad at the side of their page for customized t-shirts. The sample caught my eye coz it was one of those funny tshirts, where you get to read funny quotes or statements. Hubby is actually fond of these kinds of shirts, but don’t own even one. He just enjoys browsing on online samples but never ordered yet. I know some of his friends though have tried it already. I just got an idea for a great gift on his next birthday. It might be quite a surprise if he gets one of those funny tshirts. Definitely no foul words to be used!!!

Aftermath of Typhoon Sendong
By DGH | December 19, 2011
You’ve probably already heard about the tragic typhoon Sendong that struck the Mindanao Province of the Philippines which badly hit Iligan and Cagayan de Oro. Landslides and flash floods took the lives of many people which happened at night while they’re sleeping. Many are still missing and the death toll is rising. Hundreds are homeless. They need help. Donations have been pouring in from individuals, companies, organizations and even international aid, but more is needed.
Many people need clothing, blankets, basic necessities like toiletries, medicine, milk and diapers for children and medical equipments like hospital cart. Money is also essential in rescue operations, and helping the victims.
Christmas is the season of giving, not just to our loved ones but to those who badly needs our help. These people have lost their families and properties, the little sacrifice we can give to help them is nothing compared to what they’ve lost. Share if you care!

Photography hobby
By DGH | December 5, 2011
Owning a digital camera has become common already. Lately, more and more people are buying DSLR cameras even if its expensive. Many have made photography their hobby and would spend big money buying different kinds of lenses to take very good pictures. For nature enthusiasts, they’d even get underwater cameras to be able to capture the beauty underwater.
Here’s one of the Best Underwater Views of 2010 from National Geographic:
It’s quite tempting to get into this photography craze but I really don’t have the time and the enthusiasm to learn technical stuff about how to take good pictures, etc. So I am just satisfied with our point and shoot camera. There’s at least two photography enthusiasts in our family, so if I’d ever need their skills I just have to call them for help.
