I am kinda lost touch of the local entertainment news these days thanks to the lack of opportunity to be in front of the TV and seldom read the papers.
Yesterday, while having lunch alone at Restoran Khalifah nearby my office, I bought a copy of The Star newspaper. The news that caught my attention was the controversial kiss between Ashraf Sinclair and Bunga Lestari. Artists kissing caught on camera is definitely a huge issue in Malaysia.
Remember when Deanna Yusoff's hot kissing scene in a Singaporean drama was condemned by fellow Malaysians? And I remember back in the 80s, a kissing scene in the movie, Isabella, between Amy Search and an Indonesian actress became such a huge issue but the situation wasn't as bad as Deanna Yusoff's case.
I guess there's always double standard when it comes to controversial issues between male and female. Sorry to sound a bit feminist but the guys always get away with it easily while the girls get humiliated by the public.
Reading LiewCF's post on "Have you meet your fate" inspire me to share some tips of how to meet your other halves.
1. Read the book called If Love Is A Game, Here Are The Rules, regardless you have a girlfriend or not. Read at least the first 5 rules.
2. Start getting out and meeting new friends. The best is through mutual friends. Or go on a trip and meet new people. Share your interests during the conversation so that people have a chance to get to know you but don't just talk about yourself.
3. Get her contacts, blog (chances higher if she has one) and e-mail address right on the first meeting.
4. Get to know her by reading her blog.
5. Show your interest by sending her an email the next day right away mentioning about the meeting last night and that you have read some of her posts in her blog.
6. Don't ask her out on a date yet.
7. Invite her to join bloggers' gathering or hangout / yamchar with friends after a week or two.
8. After the second or third time meeting, you can try to ask her for a date. Strictly no movies. Just a simple dinner or coffee to talk and listen to each other. If both of you felt good about each other on this date, you know you are on your way ;)
This is strictly based on my own personal experience and I can't guarantee it will be 100% work. But it works for my relationship 
I have been writing for PayPerPost (PPP) for few months now. No doubt PPP which is one of the most talked about blog marketing at this moment and loved by every bloggers whether amateur or professional.
Although I did not really earn much due to my 0 PR (after I've transferred to my own custom domain) and lack of self discipline, I still believe PPP is one of the source that allow me to earn some amount of money through blogging.
When everyone started writing paid posts, I doubt making money online works. But eventually I did believe them and started to sign up and writing.
My diligent postings did produced results and after getting paid for the first month, I did believe in using blog as my side income. However, discipline is very important as writing for paid posts requires a lot of research and hard work. So, I did spent the money I have earned through PPP on buying things through ebay. I've bought some CDs and t-shirts as well as converting the US dollar to Malaysian Ringgit.
Well, I am making a resolution to write everyday. My motto is 'At least a paid post per day', provided that there are opportunities available to me.
Now, can someone please tell me when and how I can increase my page rank?
Recently, I've started doing some freelance translation job and I find the job rather refreshing. Something different from my usual educational book writing job.
