That's hot!
Sunday, July 08, 2007
Regular readers of my blog (Yes all five of you!) will notice that I have changed my blog layout.
I think this is much better than my emo-rainbow layout which I’ve been using for the past three years or so.
The coolest part is that the navigation bar MOVES. I have no idea how it works, but as long as it’s cool, who cares?
In light of the recent change, I felt confident enough to submit my blog for a review on KrispyBlogs.
It was kinda fun to read what people have to say about my blog.
In actual fact, the review went quite well, and here are some excerpts from it:
‘…pretty good… very efficient and sleek…’
The quotes are true! You can check it out for yourself at Krispyblogs! I do not tell lies at all.
The reviewer, Ryan, was a little mistaken though. He said that my blog was ‘too new’, but the truth is, my blog has been around for the past five years or so.
I am sneaky like that.
Anyway, I went for my first physiotherapy session last Wednesday, and it was pretty intense.
Due to my scoliosis, I have to undergo ‘shockwave treatment.’ I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive when the physiotherapist told me that I have to go through ‘shockwave treatment’. I don’t really like people shaking my body.
I was very relieved when the physiotherapist explained to me later that the treatment actually uses heat to soothe my back muscles.
On the day of treatment, the physiotherapist asked me to change into a t-shirt, shorts and slippers. Then he made me lie on a bed and gave me a pillow to rest on.
After doing all these, he warns me against sleeping, saying that the machine might burn me if I fall asleep.
So, I change into comfortable clothing, lie on a bed and pillow, but I cannot sleep because if I do, I might catch fire?!
The treatment lasted 20 minutes, and I felt like I was in an oven. I have never felt more like a chicken in my entire life before.
Luckily though, I did not catch fire. I think it’s because I stayed awake throughout the entire treatment.
Talking about heat, has anyone noticed how hot the weather has been for the past few weeks?
It’s like we warped into Africa all of a sudden or something!
I certainly hope it is not true that we’re now in Africa, because if we are, we would be in big trouble. People like Angelino Jolie and Madonna will come and steal our babies, then proceed to give them funny names.
On a more serious note, the world is definitely heating up. Yesterday, concerts were held all across the globe with the aim of encouraging people to lead greener lives.
While I question the efficiency of the concerts (the electricity used to light the stages can allegedly power ten houses), I must admit that the aim is quite noble.
Here are some of the ways that we all can help:
1) Drive less – Cars emit a lot of carbon dioxide, as we all know by now. Driving less would reduce the emission of CO2. Also, after watching this documentary on vehicles, I am convinced that cars are just aliens in disguise.
2) Re-use plastic bags – Plastic bags are non-biodegradable, and pollute the environment excessively. The way we use plastic bags nowadays is just criminal. Re-use your bags when shopping for groceries, or better still, spend $0.80 on an environmentally-friendly shopping bag.
3) Save electricity – Turn off the power points when appliances are not in use. These appliances use electricity even though they are on standby mode. Just turning off the power points will save you lots of money, and save the planet at the same time.
These are just a few of the many ways we can help to save our world. I am not trying to preach to people, but global warming is a very real threat, and it may just ruin the world if we do not make an effort to stop it.
Like what my physiotherapist said, if we all fall asleep, the world would be on fire.
I also have a bit of plugging to do. I ordered a pendant from this really cool guy a few days ago, and it arrived yesterday. I am extremely happy with it!
Instead of all those passé metallic pendants most douchebags are wearing nowadays, Plastik Sputnik pendants use acrylic and have a variety of interesting designs for you to choose from.
These are some of the designs:
These cost just $15 a piece, and trust me, they are extremely worth it.
You can email Plastik Sputnik at plastiksputnik@gmail.com for more info.
I know, they are made of plastics and harm the environment. So once you order a piece from Plastik Sputnik, redeem yourself by re-using all your plastic bags!
