lizzie tanners on Apr-29-2008

The heat is definitely here and we can feel it. We should be loving it! Summer is the best time for beach, fun in the sun and out of town trip. There is one question left, are you ready? Here are some summer wear tips.

Skirts or shorts– You don’t want to wear long saggy pants on the beach and neither do you want to wear your serious corporate attire on your vacation. Try wearing a mini-skirt. They’re so adorable and it will keep you oh-so-cool during those hot summer heat waves. White is always a fresh color for summer but denim colors are more all-around. It is up to you because you know what fits you.

Slippers- In Australia, they are so laid back that you see some of them going in the mall bare foot! If you need to be a bit more casual, try wearing a nice pair of slippers or with some fun sandals.

Tank tops – Get tank tops that has basic colors and not dark ones because heat is absorbed more by darker colors and it will make you extra hot! Last but not the least…

Sun block – wearing those apparel above, you surely will expose more skin. It is extremely important that you get protection from the harmful rays of the sun. you have to put sun block on even if it doesn’t seem to be sunny because when it is overcast in summer, you are still getting burned.

Final reminder, since these are skimpy clothes, be careful with your actions because you will attract a lot of attention from the guys around you!

Ridiculously funny signs at their best

lizzie tanners on Apr-25-2008

While most of us were still young, our folks taught us a lot of things, from saying da-da to acting out to ask what we wanted. I remember my folks teaching me the multiplication table when I was just 6 years young. On the road, they let us read store names, car emblems, or different kinds of signs. What if those signs we read before were as funny as these?

I know most of you are aware of the piracy that has been going on in China. They have been imitating a lot of bags, watches and even mobile phones. It is a big issue because the owners are losing a lot of money from their fakes and now, even stores are being faked! Will you buy from this Carrefour?

Girls, beware! Girls, beware! You don’t know what these guys are capable of. Dirty looks, long and hard weapons and a stop sign to check you chicks out!

Have you seen these kind of funny sign that will let you laugh your heart out? Thank your parents they taught you how to read or else, you wouldn’t appreciate reading these funny signs around us. Can you remember how you learned to read?

It pays to be green

lizzie tanners on Apr-23-2008

While driving along the freeway going home, I passed by this huge concrete factory. It looked efficient and productive in terms of earnings as this seemed to be a big company. At the back of it, a tall chimney-pipe like tube was billowing white smoke out of it. Out of curiosity, I asked my friend what that smoke is and she told me that, that was a trash incinerator.

It was a recycling plant. We all know that recycling is good but, while recycling, you are creating more smoke to add to global warming. Which is the lesser evil then?

I, myself have been participating in various campaigns to help stop environment deterioration. The latest was the Earth Hour where in I switched off my electricity for not only an hour, but for the entire day! You know the secret? I went to my friends house and celebrated earth hour there with candle lights. If everyone does the same thing that I am doing, the future will be brighter. Literally! Are you thinking about your children’s future?

Would you share your husband?

lizzie tanners on Apr-22-2008

The news about this community in Texas which practice polygamy brought chills and at the same time a great deal of curiosity.  It’s interesting to note that the majority of the polygamous ones there are women.  Well, if that HBO miniseries haven’t surfaced, it would have been a major shock, but then, it is alarming to some extent.

I will not question if they chose to share partners.  What is very disturbing is the report that the children are physically, sexually and emotionally abused.  I can’t imagine how the kids live and study in an environment where they see that their parents go to bed with different people every other night.

We all have the freedom to choose whatever lifestyle we want.  But children can’t.  They are just plunged in and they can’t complain because they still don’t know what actions constitutes positive or negative consequences.

Hopefully, the children in that community will be placed in an environment void of grave confusion.

If you don’t wear sunglasses, you’ll hate yourself this summer

lizzie tanners on Apr-22-2008

It’s summer time again. Summer is becoming hot and hotter bacause of global warming. Everyone is going to the beaches, surfing, lying around the sun, girl or boy watching! Pack your bags! Bring your suntan lotions! Don’t forget to bring your camera and sunglasses!

Yes, we need them during summer times but whatever season it is, as long as it is sunny, we need them. Everyone wears them - celebrities, politicians and their bodyguards, police and criminals alike. One reason for sure is, the not so good UV Rays that enters our atmosphere and hits our eyes.


I had used several sunglasses but, what I love the most is my Oakley Juliet with fire polarized lenses. I will give you several reasons why I love this shades.

1. It attracts both wanted and unwanted attention – People do look at you when your sunglasses fits you side by side when you own an attractive pair of ‘em!

2. It has UV filter- It filters out bad UV rays from the sun, which is good. But you know what is better? The polarized lenses it has! Good bye glare! It reduces glare to almost nothing.

3. You’ll look hot on cam – It looks good in photos. Everytime I see a picture of mine with a group, no matter how large it is, I always stand out! Some of the best photos are me are displayed in my room! Vain? Nah! I just love them glasses! Besides, there are also people like me who love to take to photos of themselves wearing the hippest and also unusual sunglasses.

No matter what summer equipment you like, always remember, make the most out of your life, enjoy what you do and live life to the fullest!

Things that can make boys cry(Not that I really want this to happen)

lizzie tanners on Apr-17-2008

Have you heard of Fergie’s song? Big girls don’t cry? It talked about a break-up and she was convincing herself not to try despite the unfortunate event. Usually, the girl is hurt most during a break-up. But do you know, that some guys cry too? In Britain, British men may be sterling examples of masculinity but that does not prevent more than half of them from crying their eyes out after being dumped, according to a survey.

In our society, males are seen as the steel type - hard, strong and courageous, when in fact, when a guy cries in front of a girl, it is a good sign. It simply means that the guy can let go of his feelings and is using that as an outlet compared to a guy who doesn’t, beware! According to a study, men who can’t express their feelings by crying tend to express their feelings through anger. So you see, men who cry aren’t sissies or gays. They are stronger than those men who don’t cry.

Is that the only way to make them cry? Guess not! Girls, are you feeling a bit naughty?

1. Dump Them - If you don’t love your guy anymore, dump them. If they love you, they will cry. If they don’t, lucky you, you did the right thing.

2. Reverse Psychology- use this until it irritates them so much, they will want to cry! Try telling them, “You don’t love me anymore” lines and wait until they get irritated. If the guy gets angry, he is the “man of steel” type who uses anger as an outlet.

3. Defeat - Lose your ego and you forget your stand. Have you seen crucial basketball games? When the team losses, some cry. I have seen them with my own eyes.

Just remember, a guys feeling is not there to be played, so are girls’ feelings. So, if you don’t want others to let you cry, do not do it to others. Can you find a better way to let boys cry than these?
