<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today is officially the first day of Spring and for some reason, it feels different. The air feels lighter, the heart feels livelier. It feels like there is more hope and happiness around ..... new beginnings!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was digging around some old pictures and found these beautiful pictures of cherry blossoms we had taken a few years ago. Lovely! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With extra daylight hours today, I wanted to walk around my neighborhood after work, in search of signs of Spring, like so. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, the nasty wind made it sooooo cold to be outside, which could have otherwise been a nice walk on a beautiful spring day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With the spring in my step today, there are two things I want to say: </span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Always follow the nudges from your heart, you will never regret it. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Stop working too hard. If you are working too hard, you might not trust the process (a new realization for me today .... ). When you stop trying too hard, you play a bit more. When the mind is put at ease, wonderful things start happening. And then you will start blowing yourself away with all the things you had never imagined you could accomplish. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></li>
</ol>

And this Spring, we actually did! We visited Varadero. The beaches were awesome; white sand, clear blue water. <br />
<br />
We did a day trip to Havana, the capital city. The tour guide gave us some insights on the culture and local systems. It was all very different, very humbling. This was the first time I experienced visiting a country run under dictatorship and communism. Despite still living in the 1960s, the people seemed very positive-minded and generally happy. <br />
<br />
The resort was fantastic as well. Here are some pictures to share. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdHAm95J2Q0SSraOUMLEVDD4Rc8a-El6-cM48eQeTrLoUnnUGUYNH43p-AQvCQi3aNd6V2CWq5h0OrQS4AH8qclxeDIHEkki6sdC5WlzYnGQm5F77XQYU5MNoOFaveBqawBPj78L1zgxQ/s640/blogger-image--1781496694.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdHAm95J2Q0SSraOUMLEVDD4Rc8a-El6-cM48eQeTrLoUnnUGUYNH43p-AQvCQi3aNd6V2CWq5h0OrQS4AH8qclxeDIHEkki6sdC5WlzYnGQm5F77XQYU5MNoOFaveBqawBPj78L1zgxQ/s640/blogger-image--1781496694.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa-YC_Z2QDIZ1G8NQMt6KyedDT-TqlH3FynycBl8DQoNTrfZOLo4HCUC6Lzc-dFVFVYICRteV0LIxtEdyvL89zNrFDjg_LkKX4BGR7urjGsx24A3Hg7JY3lmt81Quu3qn0lxooAA10fQ/s640/blogger-image-1634078656.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa-YC_Z2QDIZ1G8NQMt6KyedDT-TqlH3FynycBl8DQoNTrfZOLo4HCUC6Lzc-dFVFVYICRteV0LIxtEdyvL89zNrFDjg_LkKX4BGR7urjGsx24A3Hg7JY3lmt81Quu3qn0lxooAA10fQ/s640/blogger-image-1634078656.jpg" /></a></div>Sanjuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212213871282395610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744513800837800830.post-48113880939503678322011-10-30T01:52:00.000-04:002011-10-30T01:52:45.159-04:00The iOS 5 Update<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am in LOVE with the new iOS 5 update. Loving the look and feel, the
iMessaging and iCloud features. Have you noticed that when you start messaging,
it automatically detects if the person you are messaging too is also on iOS 5
and automatically converts it into iMessage? And have you noticed differences
in color, regular text messages in green and iMessages in blue? Oooh!! And the
read receipts? I could go on and on. I also love the fact that I have the
option to turn off read receipt for myself to protect my privacy. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Oh, and yesterday, when my phone was almost slipping off my fingers, I
accidentally found out that if you slide your finger from top to bottom of the
screen very fast, a shutter slides down which gives a snapshot of all unread
notifications from every app I have on my phone. That was it, the last straw
which made me go head-over-heels. WOW!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">iCloud is great … or so I thought. Just to know that the contents of my
phone will be secure even if my computer crashes felt great. I feel this
feature has better utility if you possess an iPad and iPod as well. Well, I do
have an old iPod, but I haven’t synced that to iTunes in years. And I do not
possess and iPad. But this feature is actually tempting me to purchase an iPad.
Hee, hee … </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">However, when iCloud chewed up 80% of my monthly data plan, it drove me
mad. In settings, it says that iCloud automatically backs when iPhone is
plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi. Well, that claim is bogus. It keeps
backing up over 3G, leave alone Wi-Fi, even when the phone is not plugged in.
this is ridiculous and a flaw in design. Apple got to fix this somehow;
otherwise I do not feel the iCloud idea will fly too far. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Anyways, I have a very positive feeling about iMessaging and it is
going to catch up and overtake Blackberry Messaging. It is also going to convert
BBM users. Well, I say this because I love Apple products so much and I am
completely biased. But what do you think? Are you a Blackberry or iPhone
person? BBM or iMessaging? Have you upgraded to iOS 5? If so, which is your
favorite feature? </span></div>Sanjuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212213871282395610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744513800837800830.post-536703971604770662011-05-25T22:31:00.002-04:002011-05-25T23:23:00.909-04:00So Inspiring!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />

It was high time to change my eye makeup! </span></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><div align="justify"><br />After browsing the cosmetics section, I decided to try crème eye shadow. I had never used crème eye shadow before, but after starting to use it, I love it. For all you ladies who have dry skin like me, I would highly recommend crème eye shadow versus powder. Crème eye shadow keeps the eye area moistened all through your work day whereas powder shadows can have a drying effect. Also, crème has very light feel on the eyes, whereas powder shadow can sometimes feel heavy on the eyelids. </div><br /><br /><div align="justify">In terms of color, I bought two different shades. First, I bought <a href="http://www.maybelline.ca/products/76/eyes/eye-shadow/eye-studio-color-gleam-cream-eyeshadow/blue-freeze/10?shadeId=387&view=shades&position=558">Maybelline New York Eye Studio, Blue Freeze</a>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaQZa4Kiz15GRFp5UxCCJ0rkFMy2aqaZ1zw98J9tHrSS7J6l9A1Ovz6nBkLcTGq89sPftb7x_n8MMb5GOscZVOaAsTbDoDiLvedIxoekvJqZPzRi3f-zTQr8NVSVcRBo4ukelqpRYpigE/s1600/Maybelline-Eye-Studio-Cream-Eyeshadow-Trio-Blue-Freeze-390x390.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 223px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 222px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603855972678850578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaQZa4Kiz15GRFp5UxCCJ0rkFMy2aqaZ1zw98J9tHrSS7J6l9A1Ovz6nBkLcTGq89sPftb7x_n8MMb5GOscZVOaAsTbDoDiLvedIxoekvJqZPzRi3f-zTQr8NVSVcRBo4ukelqpRYpigE/s320/Maybelline-Eye-Studio-Cream-Eyeshadow-Trio-Blue-Freeze-390x390.jpg" /></a>Love the blue shade, and it comes as a trio with two other shades, light blue and grey. Apply the darkest shade to the outer corners of your eyes, add the lightest shade to the inner corners and blend. </div><br /><div align="justify"><br />If you want to add some more shine to your eyes, use little bit of a light colored powder to the inner corners and a small stroke just below the brow bone.

As much as it looks cute from outside the box, I am not happy with this product at all. After applying, the purple shade is barely visible. The glittery particles in the cream shows more and it looks like you are wearing a silver shadow rather than purple or mauve. Also, the product does not have as creamy a feel as the Maybelline one. So I do not recommend Revlon crème eye shadows at all. </div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Last and most important is the brush. I learnt that crème eye shadows need a separate type of brush which is sort of stiff. While searching, look for brushes which have “cream eye shadow brush” written on the package. I bought a Quo brush which was on 40% off at Shoppers Drug Mart … good deal! </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 152px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603858122468681858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLMYuPsbwX84xR3d0NM0uiJys1RSVT56BxShC3w_LEZrJ5UaxR9igI-Gqj3wtrfdSIgzYkPQGW_lO_7er0TFKq6N2VQ3GJZCSaeR1XYHQzNda8LT7bEi9ZqROalsbUOo_nAOjajyeOxm4/s320/quo-creameyeshadow.jpg" /> <br /><div align="justify">This weekend, I am off to L’Oreal warehouse sale which I have planned to visit with my girlfriend.

We got six inches of snow that day and that is what they call taking a dump in March. There was an outrage <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 267px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597126579645633522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvM-VHsYKP1o1HH-thkeeMLtyjKD4_knInzl9I9m_23xPrIWnv30Q4ITrWzHw0vHMwjigON5xkOg_yCcEAlO_V6ikbEdnaazZaj_iiF_fKxru3xT48TopPm3ll8I9KANYBfsIynucVrY/s320/6-SpringFlowersSLC.jpg" />across the city that day in March because just the previous weekend was a beautiful 11 degree Celsius spring day, all the snow had melted and it truly felt like spring. The outrage could be felt at work, on the radio, on TV, during my drive .... everywhere!! We had definitely received a strong blow from Mother Nature. </span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Strangely, it reminded me of something my friend Cathy had mentioned not too long ago. Why did we love snow so much as kids? What changed as we grew up to be adults? We both agreed that the love faded because now all we focus on is shoveling, the commute, the traffic, the not-so-much fun things about snow. We no longer make snowmen, snow angels, have snowball fights or can do all such fun activities without a few eyebrows being raised. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why people have kids; it gives them a reason to be kids again. </span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">By now, you must be thinking it is high time we leave all the wintry thoughts behind us, but I just couldn't get rid of this one from my head without spilling. </span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1va5ctg8Fg0SMAe_SI-49H9-pSXAPCBIUWx7G9XIeD0vo_ITm6X9SQ-7YxfdqpOhDlE3gdBvgBuWJTYxwCoQfncAVFlMLfusN8tUcvrlJdfaT5BS1lxXSgZ-nSJhO-rvCbicTjt0IrEI/s1600/cherry_blossoms.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 306px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597128034251383362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1va5ctg8Fg0SMAe_SI-49H9-pSXAPCBIUWx7G9XIeD0vo_ITm6X9SQ-7YxfdqpOhDlE3gdBvgBuWJTYxwCoQfncAVFlMLfusN8tUcvrlJdfaT5BS1lxXSgZ-nSJhO-rvCbicTjt0IrEI/s320/cherry_blossoms.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Well, all the snow has melted now, which is good reason to be happy. Only 2 of the 25 pots of Pansy seeds in my "Indoor Greenhouse Kit" have germinated so far. Looks like I will need to sow some more seeds in the rest. Hoping to have at least half of the mini-pots to germinate so that come summer, I can make my flower bed full of pansies this year. </span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Till then, ciao. xoxoxo </span></div>Sanjuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212213871282395610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744513800837800830.post-58348825803568043882011-03-27T20:33:00.057-04:002011-03-31T00:14:24.058-04:00Totally digging it!!!<div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">For those of you who follow American Idol, it is hard not to notice J Lo's outfits.

Last week the temperatures were fabulous ... touching 12 degrees. It truly felt that spring is in the air. But alas, this week we are forecasted to receive a fine layer of frost. Hopefully, the chill will be over soon. I am already dreaming of spring flowers. Tulips and cherry blossoms are my favorite. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 423px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 262px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587096735929277746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipuZZ3oFCalJB6psKBcQkcKzQwwKIiCFjltyfLLOwBEr-5EtGC7e5gUagM26s8RjIlLKIejnzXLpiTaJ2GjXVWjiK-z6Z_DTcznvDqaBHw0Lxpe9HHNzm88qD5L7OomnK6DJnbQVZF1_Y/s320/4052.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 425px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 287px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587098416338066530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUaXSzVAOiZTYvizZ4kQWeKv8LbhPM3wQmeWmwrSi4sPOUuY2-pO5S9Sx727gkktpPx-CUnNq35L8ed5w4BokgpQxaRMM6gvHr1Z0toehmFbH0fZZujs6-7QEpnvfnD9u4g4PBnTk2Lps/s320/cherry-blossom12167.jpg" />I have already started dreaming of what flowers to plant in the small patch in front of my house. I am thinking lilies might be beautiful. Or anything bright in color, grow no more than 6 inches tall, low maintenance and can survive the strong afternoon sun. Any suggestions are welcome. :) However, one thing is for sure. I am definitely getting 2 hanging baskets of petunia, of the variety below, to hang on two sides of my front porch. Ain't those pretty? </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 445px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587101073181278722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8_ybX9xVfackKekg6y2YT8hMslne__Q4s_A7rfkjBWoT5TijDlk3WdpP41wFMkDoTl84um2oXX5npCgO-Bm-bCK2XoI_qH9J8eLm7VJf7ozOILlV7vYONJrvKqWYxPUkJ-eN35d-uCoE/s320/6304407-purple-petunia-hanging-basket-against-a-pink-building.jpg" />Sanjuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212213871282395610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744513800837800830.post-18230318984999630992008-10-30T18:16:00.006-04:002008-10-30T18:21:14.887-04:00Like a Garden in Fantasyland.....<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">On Tuesday evening, we got some flurries here in Toronto. Apparently, it snowed the whole night. So the next morning, the ground was covered with a white carpet. It was the most amazing sight I have ever seen in my life. Well, most people laughed when they saw my amazement, because it’s only October. It’s already so cold and it’s snowing before Halloween.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But I couldn’t help notice the beauty of nature all around me. Every morning on my drive to work, I pass by a golf course. Next to its entrance is a beautiful red tree and red and orange bushes; well, they have turned into those colors now. On this particular morning, these plants had a fine layer of fluffy snow on them and it looked absolutely amazing. Breath-taking! What can I say; like frosting on a cake! The picture is still so vivid in my memory; I wished that I had brought my camera along with me at that point.<br /><br />People at work laughed at me when I described it to them. Some found it cute, and some promised to come back in January to find out if I’m still amazed by looking at snow. All I want say now that to me, it looked like a Garden in Fantasyland, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have this picture in my head for a long time. I only wish that I had a real photo.<br /></span>Sanjuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212213871282395610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744513800837800830.post-28686442810645449862007-09-24T18:27:00.000-04:002008-01-16T18:27:54.207-05:00My New JobNever had I imagined that I will be baby-sitting other people's kids in exchange for some money. Well yes, exactly that came true today. The kid is a year old and crazily cute but...........he cries far too much. He's too clingy onto his mother (as compared to her elder sister, according to his mother). <br /><br />Well, my home was filled with the incessant crying of the kid. In the morning, he got tired of crying and fell asleep by himself. (Phew! What a relief for an hour and a half) After that, the crying continued. In between, at some magical moment, somehow I managed to distract his attention and got him engaged into looking at whatever I was doing. He even ate from my plate and we became friends (yipppppeeeeeeee, problem over). But I wasn't that lucky, he started off again. I feel blessed that kiddo spoke to me in his baby language for at least an hour. <br /><br />Awwww, such a cutie pie he is, really!!Sanjuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212213871282395610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744513800837800830.post-80948190053636481202007-09-24T03:01:00.000-04:002008-01-16T18:27:34.952-05:00Anger!!Anger, anger, anger.....when am I ever going to get rid of it from my system. I'm angry when I don't get what I want, and also angry when I'm close to getting what I want. What is it in me, dear Lord? Be angry and you keep hurting people. And my husband, probably the sweetest person earth and I keep torturing him with my anger.<br /><br />The worst part is that after it's all over, you feel so guilty about whatever you might have said.....Sanjuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212213871282395610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744513800837800830.post-58805449689848591762007-04-09T16:00:00.000-04:002008-01-16T18:26:48.488-05:00Instruction Permit!!<span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Today is a fresh new day for me....I got my instructor permit for driving. So this is my first step towards driving around in Phoenix. The thought makes me happy and elated, so I thought that while my happiness is still around, I should start a new blog of mine.</span><br /><br />The last 2 months in Phoenix have been interesting...I found places where I can pursue my hobbies, now that I have the time to do all that. I have made couple of friends around the place where I live, have gone places for sight-seeing....<br /><br />Lovely stay so far!!Sanjuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212213871282395610noreply@blogger.com
