just minishorts.

Should have seen this coming. I've decided that since I'll be pretty busy having fun with all the research (and the madness), the site needs a brand new category.

'The Wedding!!' sort of explains what the posts are going to be about.

…

April and I went window shopping for dresses. Beatrice Looi's collection for now (it's Fall, isn't it, sorry I don't know my fashion terms very well), looks quite atrocious (if you're Beatrice Looi, I'm sorry if my bluntness offends you). While the Victorian feel does look distinctive, you can't really expect all the lacy-ness to last forever, can you?

Although I quite suspect the trends of frills and ribbons dangling all over your necklines, waistlines and kneelines has got something to do with Vera Wang's newest style. Check this out.

I bought a copy of 'Feng Chai's My Wedding and found out that the drapish-looking collection by Vera costs about SGD40k! Damned I can get myself a brand new Honda Accord with that kind of money! I can buy myself a house with that kind of money! These wedding things are atrocious, and you think it's bloody expensive to get married in Malaysia?

OK pardon me… btw, did you like my ring? With a little help from trusty old Picasa (I don't have Photoshop on this comp, I think it looks gorgeous. Will need to resize it for the ring finger though. Eric bought the small size available and still it's a little too big for me. I heard that thin fingers mean a lifetime's of working for a living, which means that after becoming somebody's wife I'm not about to resign and retire… you'll still be seeing me scribbling away, putting my words into someone else's speech, I hope. ^_^

Lately (or I quite believe this has been going on for quite some time), there are some unscrupulous no-name individuals who surf around the blogosphere seeking out 'interestingness' available on the net. When a possibly interesting post (or even, a comment to a post) appears, the 'professional' IP thief would take a snippet of the original piece, paste it into another post that later would appear another professionally done up (made to attract adsense) website.

In the recent wave of wedding-related ramblings I've blurted out since the excitement of being engaged, a reader offered to introduce me to a friend of hers who is a wedding planner. And so the crime was unduly committed, with the ever so trustable select with the mouse and then Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V, voila! You have the material you need to create a mockery of a 'blog-review' website.

The entire site, as you can see, is 'decorated' with the ugly paste me here and there adsense banner.

I know the online internet advertising-hounds are very successful in their money-making attempts, and as much as I cannot bring myself to respect the art, I have to give them the credit for their perseverence and industriousness, if you may.

But the above website, (and everyone else who is doing things like that), just gives me more reason to not like people who become rich by virtue of the Google Adsense/Pay per post/insert-whatever-you-want-here trend. I mean, if people can bring themselves to increase their earnings in the manner above, can you actually trust them as people or friends?

I think its despicable, pardon me for the strong language.
