货币战争 - The Money Masters

<<货币战争>>

Don't know is this book really giving us the correct explaination of 2008 US Financial Crisis, but it really presented something we have never been thinking about, quite interesting that Mr Song summarised the striving for evolution of monetary policy as the reason of assassination of those 7-8 US presidents??? Should we go ahead with GOLD or US$??? Detective novel or a briliant Financial Analysis text book??? Don't know, but love to read something fresh with clever points... & the only thing I concern is that the Exchange rate of AUD/RMB, eventually is when I can buy my own lovely place... haha, all - enjoy the slowing market in 2009, we will survive.

自1694年英格兰银行成立以来的３００年间，几乎每一场世界重大变故背后，都能看到国际金融资本势力的身影。他们通过左右一国的经济命脉掌握国家的政治命运，通过煽动政治事件、诱发经济危机，控制着世界财富的流向与分配。可以说，一部世界金融史，就是一部谋求主宰人类财富的阴谋史。　　

通过描摹国际金融集团及其代言人在世界金融史上翻云覆雨的过程，本书揭示了对金钱的角逐如何主导着西方历史的发展与国家财富的分配，通过再现统治世界的精英俱乐部在政治与经济领域不断掀起金融战役的手段与结果，本书旨在告诫人们警惕潜在的金融打击，为迎接一场“不流血”的战争做好准备。

Xmas & Boxing Day !! Plan??

Due to the recession, its likely that boxing day sales this year to be better than most years ever because shops want to clear stock, esp fashion stuff, thx to be in logistics industry, clearly know the most killing thing would be stock - can u image what million they can possibly waste on these?? I can never think about that figure before stepping into this industry, so....lucky us, if luckier, we can catch up the last chance of the biggest sales in the next at least 2-3 yrs.

And since most stocks were bought while AUD was high, shops (those intl brands in particular) can afford to give a bigger discount!! Lucky us again, after the great online shopping ends (I was wise enough bought sufficient stocks & haven't shop online since AUD dropped below 0.80), we can still take advantage from the overstocked shops... of couse if they still have great stocks after the huge sales in Nov + Dec.

Go for this year if you indeed need something, I don't think we can be lucky again next year or followings, counting in the low consumption power, however, still believe that sales will be worse because of higher cost price of the ever low OZ$, big risk for shops to hold too much stock.

GO! GO!! GO SHOPPING GIRLS, GOOD FOR OZ ECON... HAHA, BUT REMEMBER PICK THE BARGAINS...

LUCKY U JESSIE & MECO, HEADING TO MEL... HOPE I COULD GO WITH U :)

Enrique Inglesias & His Beautiful Mum

Enrique Inglesias - Half Filipino, Half Spanish

Enrique Miguel Iglesias y Preysler (born on May 8, 1975, in Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish pop singer-songwriter. He is the son of singer Julio Iglesias and Filipina Isabel Preysler.Iglesias's career started on Indie label Fonovisa who helped turn him into one of the most popular artists in Latin America and in the Latin market in the United States, selling more Spanish albums than any other artists in that period of time. - "Rhythm Divine", "Be with You", "Hero"

Even his is my fav. singer, but next is the thing really amazed me!!!! check this pic out - guess how old is this beauty...Would u say 30+, I did. She is the mother of Enrique!!! yeah... 57 yrs old

Isabel Preysler (born Maria Isabel Arrástia Preysler on February 18, 1951 in Manila, Philippines) is a Filipina journalist, model and former TV talk show host in Madrid, Spain. She is known in the Spanish press as "La Reina de Corazones" (the Queen of Hearts) ever since a best-selling biography by the same name was published about her.

Preysler was born in San Lorenzo, Manila, Philippines, the third of six children to a rich business Filipino family of Basque-Spanish descent. She attended the Assumption Convent, a private Catholic school. Due to her good behaviour, she was often selected to represent the Virgin Mary in the local Christmas nativity scenes. Her older brother Enrique died in Hong Kong due to a heroin overdose. She named her second son Enrique Iglesias, in honor of her deceased brother. During her youth, Isabel participated in a charity beauty pageant for the Sheraton Hotel in Manila and was crowned queen. Jun Ikalav, a playboy with a bad reputation, started dating Isabel. This worried her parents, and at the age of 18, she was sent to live in Madrid with her uncle and aunt to study at Mary Ward College, an Irish Catholic university in Spain, where she studied Accounting. - (this is quite similar with my story, come to Aust at 18 studied accounting, but the rest are so different...)

It was at a party in 1970 that she was introduced to a family friend by the name of Julio Iglesias, who at the time was not yet a famous singer. The couple had their wedding just seven months later and were married for seven years, during which time they had three children, Chabeli, Julio Jr. and Enrique. In accordance with their rising careers, Julio as a singer, and Isabel as a model in Spain and Europe, they exploded onto the scene in 1971 and became overnight superstars in Spain and Latin America.Following their divorce in 1978, Isabel launched her own career as a journalist for Spanish magazine ¡Hola! and her first interviewee was Julio himself. She also interviewed Richard Chamberlain.

She married the Marquis de Grignon, Carlos Falcó, on 23 March 1980, a short-lived marriage resulted in the birth of a second daughter, Tamara. She later married former Spanish finance minister, Miguel Boyer, with whom she has another daughter, Ana. This marriage symbolized for critics the alliance of the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers Party, part of the leftist opposition to Francisco Franco, and to the "beautiful people" (aristocracy and bourgeoisie).Often dubbed "La Perla de Manila" by the Spanish media ("The Pearl of Manila"), readers at Hola magazine have voted Isabel as the most elegant and best-dressed woman in Spain for 1991, 2002, and 2004, and she has consistently topped the best-dressed lists over the years in various Spanish magazines.In 1984, she hosted the Spanish lifestyle TV programme, "Hoy." She has been chosen by several companies to be an image sponsor for their products, including Ferrero Rocher, Suárez jewelery, and, most notably, the Spanish tile company, Porcelanosa.

She is also friends with Miriam Quiambao, Miss Philippines-Universe 1999, ever since they met at a party hosted by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a national newspaper, and with fellow Filipina and acclaimed fashion designer Monique Lhuillier, who she met in Los Angeles during a trip. She is known to wear Lhullier gowns at social events in Spain.In May 2001, she was Prince Charles' guest of honour for the opening of his Spanish Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in England. She was his guest of honor again in 2005 at a garden party during a trip to Spain by the Royal Crown. In 2004, she became Spain's welcoming host for David and Victoria Beckham when she hosted a welcoming party at her house for the celebrity couple. She became close friends with Victoria and was often photographed shopping with her during their stay in Madrid.

Most recently she launched her official website at the suggestion of her son Enrique, who is one of her biggest fans. She continues to be the national spokesmodel for Ferrero Rocher, Suárez jewelery, Manolo Blahnik shoes, Chrysler cars, and Porcelanosa tiles, for which American actor George Clooney recently joined her in Fall 2006 to represent the brand in a new advertising campaign. In 2006, she was also honored along with Hillary Clinton, Shakira, and Yoko Ono among others with the Women Together Award, which honors women for their philanthropical contributions to the United Nations in New York, making her the first Filipina woman in history to ever win the prestigious honor. In 2007, she and her daughters were invited by Prince Charles of England to be guests of honor at the Clarence house at their estate in Britain and was voted out of a total of more than 40,000 Hola magazine readers as the most elegant woman in Spain.

Essential Oil

YLANG YLANG (Cananga odorata)

Ylang Ylang means "flowers of flowers" and the tree is prized for its wonderful fragrant flowers.It is from these flowers that this beautiful oil is derived.Being much more affordable than Jasmine, it is a wonderful substitute, as it's properties and perfume are similar. Aids dry, oily or combination skin. Is a tonic for dry scalp, and is used in hair tonics to encourage growth and shine. Helps relieve nervous tension, stress, mild anxiety and insomnia.

Blends well with Bergamot, Jasmine, Lemon, Rose and Sandalwood.A known aphrodisiac.
YLANG YLANG OIL CAUTION NOTE: This Oil can become very overpowering if used in large amounts, so use very sparingly.Blending it with citrus oils will tone it down.

GERANIUM (Pelargonium graveolens)
Antibacterial, antifungal, refreshing, uplifting and cleansing. This beautiful aromatic oil blends well with most other oils, harmonising and balancing them.Sometimes known as the "womans oil" due to its regulative effect on the hormones. It is, therefore, a valuable aid for problems associated with a fluctuating hormone balance.Helps ease depression and nervous tension during menopause.A helpful oil for the treatment of cuts and wounds as it encourages speedy healing.Useful for acne, bruises, burns. Balances sebum production in the skin, thereby normalising and balancing both dry and oily skin.
GERANIUM OIL CAUTION NOTE: Can cause irritation on sensitive skin.

TEA TREE (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Pure Tea Tree Essential Oil is ranked as being the Number 2 of the top ANTISEPTIC oils, and is reputed to be 100 times stronger than carbolic acid but of course Tea Tree is extremely safe to use. (Thyme is No.1, but caution is needed with that oil).Tea Tree Oil is ANTIFUNGAL, ANTIBACTERIAL and ANTISEPTIC making it a medicine chest in a bottle.Pure Tea Tree Oil is used to treat a long list of ailments.Some of these include treatment of abscesses, acne, athletes foot, boils, blisters, blemishes, burns and minor scalds, rashes, gingivitis, mouth ulcers, insect bites, ringworm, nappy rash and infected wounds. It is one of the few Essential Oils that can be used undilluted on small areas of skin.

Amazing Video - Finger Painting

Angels and Demons - Dan Brown

Movie Release date: USA 12/12/08, guess the same day in AU??

Fav. Novel ever!!!! So looking forward to seeing the film, but.... seems Da Vinci Code used out last bit of luck & eventually God get involved this time...

The major shooting scenes in Rome churches were banned by Vatican, Santa Maria del Popolo and Santa Maria della Vittoria won't be in the film... can't image what the film would be like if without them... Maybe using computing special visual effects just like Gladiator???

Considering those awesome creative ideas, I don't really mind the divergences from facts, however, to ppl have faith in Jesus, it must be some humiliated thing if the archbishop allow this anti-catholic author taking his 'mendacious' story, shooting around the sacred places & showing the world how he makes 'Gospels upside down'. While, understandable but still sad... When can I see it? Can the movie beat the novel? I am CRYing to see...@_@ If in my world, there is a god, I will knee & beg with my sincere heart.

Kung Fu Panda

虽然HOLLYWOOD总以快餐的形式展现中国文化, 但不可否认有些影片真的很ATTRACTIVE... this brilliant panda idea definitely caught me (maybe becasue of Im kinda of panda-looking girl, haha), 先用皮毛去吸引人, 再用精华去感化世人喽.

Not sure when is coming in cinema here, so much looking forward to seeing it, must be better than Indiana Jones 4.

SaD TaNgO - be a FaN of rAiN

The performance is breathtaking one... try to play & bear the 1st boring 30sec, then you will be paidback by the ever perfect experience... This man (Bi Rain) is from Korean but I was caught off guard by him singing in Japanese, & thanks to the youth in US, language skill is just additional to the young man... you may say the dance is so familiar, yeah, took Usher dancing style, but who cares... (even no one cares about his 'ugly looking' face whereas still be in upper echelons of 'fineness') his talent says everything, to be honest, who can say he is not more attractive than the black buddie... while, i am a fan of both. HEHE...


In this world, hope no one talk about racists & haters any more, no white or black, no asian or curry... but take every piece & bit advantage from all kind of cultures, be grateful, enjoy all sparkling shows & appreciate talented people who delivered the amazing sensation... ♥

The Phantom of the Opera 080515

The story should be familiar to anyone who's love musical/opera: When Christine upstages the diva Carlotta, thanks to the help of the mysterious Phantom who haunts the Opera Populaire, her childhood sweetheart, Raoul woos the girl and, in turn, incurs the wrath of the Phantom.

Quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera represents everything that's perfect with much of today's musical theater. This Broadway stage version seems can delight of every fans of Webber's musical, been so elegant, moved to teas, stands toe-to-toe... much better than Joel Schumacher's film (buying $10 DVD is the most regret thing, so dark & make you violently ill), here say Sorry to MaLi, we suppose to share this together, but you were not here....

Lucky enough to grab tickets to this opening night show, certainly had my efforts rewarded. Without question one of the greatest shows to ever hit the stage - stately and beautiful Ana Marina playing Christina and Anthony Warlow in the title role - an unequivocal veteran to the role, was well at home and commanded each scene in which he was placed. Marina on the other hand, while certainly being beautiful onstage and having an undeniable talent, was visibly newer and, whereas, her young voice was less developed.

The sets are of course superb and a demonstration of the very finest work in modern theatre. Moving constantly from brooding caverns to grandiose ballrooms, lighting and sound are masterfully executed. The technical intricacies of the production compete for your attention on the same level as the cast or anthemic music.

The (08/05/15) performance of Phantom of the Opera was a marvellous night of entertainment in all and certainly would be enjoyed by anyone. With such an astonishing lush aesthetic and talented cast, not forgetting the timeless story and music, its easy to be overwhelmed at many points, I’m sure this will please established fans of the Phantom as well as earning a great many new ones. Would really love to go again before it close, of course, with the one who enjoy this...

Backstreetboys - Unbreakable - 6th album 2007

The Backstreet Boys are coming back again, have released their 6th album "Unbreakable", which is now near the top of the Billboard 100 charts. Been a long time heard nothing about this boy band, just SURPRISE a little, 4 ONLY, without my fav. member Kevin Richardson, was my dreamy man in early age. I thought I am done with this whole group & was guessing if there are still fans... But they did come back, with lots of heartthrob songs!

I am glad to be one of their fans in the concert, which I dreamed over years since primary school. Beside the late showup, everything else was amazing, incl. my perfect seats position. Haha, maybe things always end up a good way with no much expectation, isn't it?

As they mentioned, 15 yrs already, they all turn old, we could no longer call them "boys" but "men". However, the attractive & sexy vocals are now complimented by their maturity, and the songs still make me breathless, seems I am back to school age. Love their new album, love their harmonic polyphony!

Fav. song: INCONSOLABLE!
