Reading the Lines of Romance on your Hand

Since February is considered the LOVE month, let's talk about Romance and Relationships and that is right in the palm of our very own hands ;)

I just got this article from World of Feng Shui and decided to share it with you. I'm not saying if there is such a truth behind the lines but well, you'd be the better judge of that.

~~~~~

The heart line runs horizontally across the upper palm, surrounding the mounts of Mercury, Apollo, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This line indicates the strength of emotions, quality of relationships, timing of important relationships such as marriages and love affairs and whether these relationships bring happiness or heartache.

Ideally, the heart line should be clear and without breaks This kind of lines suggests someone who will be the dominant partner in a relationship. Breaks in this line spell broken relationships, while islands along this line spell tragedies of a broken heart.

Little lines that branch out above the heart line going upwards indicate strong and happy relationships, while lines that branch out below the heart line are said to be less fortunate. Secondary lines also indicate how busy a social life you have.

The relationship lines by the side of the palm indicate serious relationships and some read these as marriage lines. The stronger and longer these lines are, the better.

When relationship lines are missing, it suggests a difficulty in getting married, while several lines here indicate several love relationships. Two equally strong lines suggest two marriages. These are the generalizations in palm indications of your love life. 

Additional indications revealed by the heart line can be found here.

Getting Ready

I have to start packing the things that I will bring this weekend to Shanghai. As per my sister advise, I need to bring clothes that will keep me warm since it's still winter season in the city. I am looking forward of finding a pair of boots on the shops there. It will still come in handy here in Manila when it's rainy season...hehehehe. The boots sold here in Manila are still pricey (in my opinion though).

Bought two pieces of turtleneck long sleeve blouses from Terranova last Saturday and it only cost Php 299 each! I was able to get the nice colors too. Good thing I decided right then and there to get it.

The husband keeps reminding me that once I get there I have to make myself online on Yahoo Messenger every night so we can talk (chat). Awww...he will surely miss me for one week...and I will miss him too.

Concealer Stick

The first time I was introduced to a concealer stick was 5 years ago. She was my officemate back then and we became the best buddy up to this point.  The concealer stick that she bought for me has a Japanese name, I completely forgot what it is. My sister is the one who used it most of the time and I totally forgot about that cosmetic.

As I was browsing through my bookmarked blogs, I saw this concealer stick and I wanted to have one of my own!

Ellana's Mineral Concealer Stick which costs Php 250 (US$ 5.43)

I was able to buy one last January 30 in SM Makati. I've been waiting since November for this product to be available on their SM stall and finally I got one. Happiness!

 

The color that I purchased is ALIVE which is neutral golden beige. 

There's another Ellana Concealer stick named  Refresh which is colored neutral salmon. It is use to better hide the purple shade under the eyes ;) 

This discovery is made possible by Shen who featured this item on her blog last November 2009. She is my source/reference when it comes to Ellana Mineral Makeup since she's one of the avid user of these cosmetic brand and she always makes it a point to make a review of their items. 

I haven't tried the concealer yet but I'm hoping to try it next week. Will post my photo wearing this concealer for my eyes ;)   Stay tuned!

Veggies Galore

Last January 31st I decided to cook an all vegetable dish. I actually cooked this a whole year (++ months) back but my first attempt is not impressive at all. It's lacking of flavor and it's not appealing. Good thing that my husband is a very understanding one and his not picky when it comes to food (unlike me). 

What made me decide to try it again is my secret ingredient...ahahahaha! Well, it's a Mama Sita's Chopsuey/Pancit Canton powder mix. Since the powder is deliciously blended, how can I go wrong, right?! All I have to do is follow the instructions at the back which I can handle just fine.

The outcome of my Chopsuey dish...

Looks delicious....but it is! Promise!

Just by looking at the photo now I have this sudden urge to cook it again this weekend and why not? I still have another pack of the Mama Sita's powder mix. All I need to do is to buy the vegetables needed.

It's so yummy and the husband loved it! 

Our rating will be 5 out of 5! Ü

Monetize through Amazon

How I miss the days that I have extra income readily available in my Paypal when I needed it. It's been a long time since I have a page rank here in my blog thus I have to search for an alternative that doesn't involve page ranks and such.

I was playing with my settings in my Blogger account when I stumbled on Amazon Associates. Hey, this is new? Last year it was only Google Adsense. The curiosity in me wins, so I clicked my way to discover what it is. 

It actually had the same concept as Google. You can put Amazon widgets on your blog like Search, Deals, My Favorites, MP3 Clips and many more. Actually the widgets depend on the interest of your choice. Ohh...I love it!

Still in doubt? Why don't you try it and see for yourself. It wouldn't hurt to try. Sign up now!
