A Homemaker’s Diary

*This post is written for nutcracker.com*

The first time I heard about Nutcracker ballet was when I watch the Barbie animated movie. (I know it’s a small girl imagination kind of movie but I always adore Barbie ever since I was a small child, plus the movie was fun and enchanting) For so long I always envy the graceful movement of a ballet dancer. Perhaps one day I would be so lucky to watch a real life ballet like this Great Russian Nutcracker.

In case you don’t know how the story goes, it’s actually about a girl, Clara with a Nutcracker doll. She dreams about the fight, the journey into the Land of Sweets and how the doll becomes a prince and fight with the Mouse King. (I’m not sure if this one tally with the Great Russian Nutcracker because this one is based on Alexander Dumas story)

I think for many people it’s more like a family tradition to watch this kind of ballet. Of course if you know anyone who is fond to pursue a life as a professional ballet dancer, ask him/her to try for the audition for Moscow Ballet. Even if it is not for life long career, an exposure to be part of the professionals team would help shape the children life in years to come.

And if you do go to such show, make sure you buy something to remind you by. Maybe a glass globe ornament or glass figurine to mark the memorable family occasion.

I’ve been to Mines Shopping Centre many times for the past 9 years but not once I’ve been on their boat cruise.

Maybe one of these days I must go, just to see what makes people take the boat cruise all the time, even at night to the middle of the lake.

What I dare to peek and see into that seem to be bottomless green water lake are the koi and so many big catfish. Of course when we dine at DeliFrance and get the seats near the water, I will throw some food and see how fast those fish grab it.

Not sure what Hubby would say if I tell him that I want to go on that boat ride..hehe!

Are you tired of your not so fluffy pillow? Well, I do. Mine last about a few months before it loses the fluffiness and the shape, and not to forget the firmness. It’s like old wrinkled skin with no collagen..haha!

I’m not sure what kind of sleeper I am. I start as side sleeper then in the afternoon when I wake up I think I become a stomach sleeper. I’ll ask Hubby next time to have me on video for medical observation.

But if you always wake up in the middle of the night, fluffing your pillow and find it hard to fall back to sleep, try this Mediflow pillow. It has been sold more than 2 million units among the medical community and the sales are growing based on people’s recommendation.

What interest me is that the pillow has a water part in it. So if you want your pillow to be firm, you put more water. Don’t worry there is filling instruction video on the website. So you can adjust the firmness of the pillow according to your preference.

It’s available for sale online so if you are as curious as I am to try, check out the retail store link at the site, both JC Penney and Target to buy one Mediflow pillow. Oh, don’t worry you can always wash the pillow and what about the water inside? It could last for one year if you are too lazy to fill up everytime. And if you want a natural filling, they do have down filled Waterbase pillow.

If you ask me the question, it would be tea anywhere, anytime. Even at Starbucks..why? Coffee gives me headache so I have no choice and I hardly take soft drinks either except when I don’t have any other choice. Most of the time I go for mineral water or hot green tea.

I am not health conscious, it’s just that too much carbonated drinks make my throat sore.

So when I’m out for a break, and there is only choice between coffee or tea, I will go for tea, even if it means some herbal tea like this.

I was planning not to write any sponsored post tonight after doing some good job in the evening when I came across a site that serves personalized news. So since I am going to watch Harry Potter new movie on Friday night, I thought why not find some new updates about the movie or the coming final book.

So here I found 2 related news, one for the movie and another for the book. Maybe if you have something interesting on your blog, you could share by submitting it to the Thoof.com.

The first article is about Harry Potter first kissing scene in the movie. I am happy that finally Harry managed to get over his nervous feeling for Cho Chang..haha! Good for him that the kissing scene is real and has nothing to do with CGI.

Of course if you ask me I could spend most of my time reading through all the articles people share on Thoof. What makes it easy is that you can search it by what you like to read such as movie, books, entertainment or even politics. So next time when you sign on to Thoof, it will give you a personalized page with stories of your interest.

It will save your time rather than to search for general websites and blogs for stories that you want to read. And it is not restricted to stories as they have the whole collection of news articles, websites, videos, photographs, and other links from all around the web world.

Let’s check what else they have on entertainment, I’m sure it would be fun. Bet there will be stories about Paris Hilton. I still can’t grasp why would people be so concern about her going in jail..duhh! Oh, found one about Pop Stars’ real name. Madonna is her real name, the full name is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. Put that as one of entertainment trivia questions for your party quiz..haha!
