Busy but Lazy!

I was talking to my friend Monica earlier and we both agree that the lazy bug is in the air! We're just feeling so sluggish nowadays. For me, that's really not good since I actually have a lot of work on my plate like the new life insurance quotes job I received yesterday. As usual, my deadline is tight and with the weekend just around the corner, it is taking a lot of effort for me to get started on my work.

When I first started working, I didn't know much about insurance at all. I knew that it was important and one should consider it during major life moments like when you're buying a new home or getting married and having a baby but that was about it. I failed to appreciate the importance of insurance in ensuring our comfort in practically all aspects of our lives.

Over the years, I worked on a lot of insurance products, which helped me understand the product better. And now, insurance plays an important part in my married life. When you're in it for the long-run with your other half, you have to make security and protection a main priority. B and I have several insurance plans and I'm not opposed to upgrading when necessary. It's better to be safe than sorry right?

Anyway, I am feeling so lazy despite having so many things to do! I need a pick-me-up to get me started on my new job. Right now, all I can think of is my warm cosy bed. More coffee perhaps?

June Top First Commenters **

I'm still so sleepy after my 7-hour sleep; something is not right! I have not done my Adgitize or EC rounds and I hope to be on posting frenzy tonight. It looks like a another busy day for me and I'd like to start it off by having my first coffee of the day and a thank you post for all my Top First Commenters here last month. I could not update Mariuca's Perfume Gallery much thanks to my ultra busy schedule. Plus I was totally on vacation mode which translated into sheer laziness. I'll try my best to do better this month.

Thanks so much for all the comment love you gave MPG in June and I hope to see everyone back here commenting and chopping away this month!

Hotel Super Sale!

Who here doesn't like vacations? I bet not many hands are raised for almost anyone who works hard all year long; a vacation is constantly in mind. Discovering new vacation destinations is something I am passionate about. Even if I can't afford my desired destination, it is always fun to dream about leaving your worries behind and going away for a while!

I'm thinking Vietnam this week for I've never been there and as always, I'm open to new exotic destinations I can explore. I hear there's a Vietnam Hotel Super sale going on and the offers are terrific! The sale runs from July 7 till July 13 so you have only 7 days to enjoy great discounted room rates for Vietnam hotel stays from July 17 till September 30, 2009.

I could not resist a peek at the many beautiful hotels available and La Résidence Hotel & Spa immediately caught my fancy. With rooms starting as low as US$ 75++ per night, this hotel is located on the banks of the Perfume River in the city centre. The name Perfume River itself was what lured me to view this hotel and isn't it just amazing?



Located a mere 17 kilometres from the airport, La Résidence features 122 art deco rooms, a bar, fitness centre, Jacuzzi, massage and sauna, billiards/snooker centre, restaurant, swimming pool, spa, health club and tennis court. What more could you ask for?

The great hotel sale ends soon so hurry and make your booking today!

Bittersweet Tribute *

I tuned in to Michael Jackson's memorial at 1am this morning. With the rest of the world glued to our TV sets, I paid my respect to our beloved King of Pop as he was given the world's biggest tribute by the best in the music world.

It was an occasion not to be missed by any music lover, for it was the very last time we would see MJ in all his remembered glory, before he was laid to rest. I could not miss it and though B was falling asleep halfway through, I was wide awake.

There were many notable performances given to our King of Pop, starting with Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz who gave a beautiful rendition of I'll Be There. It was just so sad to see Mariah choked up as she sang her beautiful voice and words for Michael.

I was also moved by Brooke Shields' speech and recollection of her memories and lifelong friendship with dear Michael. Giving us a personal insight into her special bond and relationship with Michael, she got us remembering MJ in a fun and loving way. John Mayer gave a beautiful performance as well, strumming his guitar to MJ's hit tune, Human Nature and I was most touched by Usher's Gone Too Soon performance, which I truly felt was the best, most moving tribute and farewell to Michael.

Each performance was significant and beautiful in their own way but I was moved to tears when MJ's only daughter Paris, sobbed her goodbye to her beloved Dad. It was just a choked-up moment for everyone to watch. The love and connection this poor little girl shared with her Dad whom she not only loved, but admired as well was simply undeniable. Truly it was the saddest moment of the whole service and I was glad she had the wonderful Jackson clan to comfort her.

A nostalgic and bittersweet occasion all around, that was the mood felt at the memorial; at least for me who viewed it till the end. I'm glad I did not miss this tearful tribute for MJ. It comforted me to know that the whole world is deeply saddened by the loss of our music icon so I was pleased that Michael was given the proper farewell and tribute he rightfully deserved.

Goodbye Michael! We love you always and truly, you will remain as the greatest music legend of all time.

The summer I had my heart broken, I played this song over and over again; hoping to lessen the heart-wrenching pain that only love is capable of. I eventually got over the pain and my fears finally stopped. And though the memory of that sad long summer seems so far away, this beautiful song remains hauntingly close.
