Paris Hilton's Jail Time

I was listening to FLY.FM this morning while I was driving in my car, and I heard the Breakfast Show DJs discussing Paris Hilton.

For the record, I'm not a Paris Hilton fan, I don't like her, but I don't dislike her. I pretty much don't think about her, except that I can't help hearing about her because she's so prominent in entertainment news.

So anyway, I heard them discussing about her going to jail, and I just can't help thinking, isn't everyone being a little too harsh on her?

What they said was, she's still being pampered in jail because she gets her meals delivered to her instead of eating with the rest of the inmates in the cafeteria, and various other stuff about her getting special treatment in jail.

But I'm thinking, let's be reasonable. Ok, you think she should be treated like every other inmate or she won't learn her lesson...fine. But did you ever consider that it is impossible for her to be treated like any other inmate?

Think about it, it is just IMPOSSIBLE!

She is a celebrity after all, not a bad looking one, and definitely a very well-known one.

Assuming that she's not famous and she's just good looking, how do you imagine she'll fare in prison with all the other inmates harassing her because of her good looks.

But she is also very well-knowned, and I'm sure we all know, a lot of people don't like her, resent her, are jealous of her...etc.

How exactly do you think she'll fare in prison if she was 'treated like any other inmate'?

She wouldn't be 'treated just like any other inmate' by the other inmates. If the other inmates had access to her, she'll probably be close to death or insanity. And honestly, however harsh you think her lesson should be so that she'll learn, I think that is too harsh.

Her only protection is physical privacy from the other inmates, and even this we condemn her for.

I'd like to see you people who criticize her try to survive in a jail where all the inmates have only heard bad things about you and think that they know you.

Give her a break.

New Haircut and Ming Shan's Wedding Pix!

Guess what I did today?!

I went for a hair cut!!

Ok, that's not a big deal...but I also highlighted my hair!!

Ok, that's not a big deal either...

Except that it's the first time I ever colored my hair in my whole entire life!!!

I'm serious! My hair was a virgin until today!

Kinda like my new look too. *flips hair* I'll post a pic up soon, then you can all comment on how good or bad I look. =P

The beautiful backdrop...

The three of us with the bride and groom, Ming Shan and Martin...

Isn't the bride beautiful and the groom handsome? =) It's one of the most romantic weddings I've ever been to. Ever!

I wish them both the happiest of marriages. Can't wait to be invited to their kids' full moons. *wink*

Love is in the Air

Love is everywhere!

Isn't it wonderful? This world is just so full of love!

I've just returned from Martin & Rachael's wedding, hence the sentimentality. LOL!

I'm too tired to put up pictures now, but suffice to say that it was a very beautiful wedding. The bride was so beautiful and everything was so well-organized.

They are so very lucky to have each other, you can almost feel the love oozing out of them!

I'm so happy for them.

And I'm so happy for me too.

If it's one thing I learned from seeing the two of them today, is that I will never settle for anything less than a deep and wonderful love like they both share. I know some people who do settle for less.

But I won't have to.

Because I was lucky enough to have found someone as amazing as my darling.

I don't know what twist of fate brought us together, but I know that I will forever be thankful that something did.

You have no idea how many times in my life I've wondered if I will ever find the perfect guy for me... After so many crushes and relationships and heartaches and breakups, sometimes I did wonder if I would ever be happy with anyone I ended up with.

Now I know.

And I feel so blessed.

Thank you so much, dearest, for loving me. You are the best thing that ever happened to me.

Ever.

I was having a friendly debate with a friend yesterday, which started specifically about health products and the way they get misinterpreted, but later became about the general theme of 'science vs. faith'.

He has a pharmacy, and he's very particular about the products he sells, which of course he very well should be. The descriptions need to be very specific about what the product can and cannot do for consumers, and it needs to be scientifically proven that if you 'do this with this, that will happen'.

You know what I mean... as in if it's a toothpaste, it better be a toothpaste and nothing else. One plus one is always two...etc.

On the other hand, I'm studying nutrition right now. Not nutrition about how isolated vitamins and chemicals have effects on your body(actually, I do study that too), but about how the particular food as a whole effects your body, and how your whole diet, every single thing that you put into your mouth, effects you.

So the two of us were talking about health and diseases and treatments and cures, and it was a long discussion but basically we started debating the pros and cons about medicine vs. nutrition as the road to recovery.
