Yes... I am still obsessed with Fur coats and Military Jackets. *sigh*

I found one at a reasonable price at this store in Carousel called Forever New. It's a vest and it's on sale for 50% off. I may be persuaded to get one. LOL. I have not been shopping since I started my spending haiatus last month so I decided to let go a bit and get it. I don't know. What do you think?
It's been raining here for the past few days or should I say weeks. I am not complaining. I love the rain. Perth needs the rain. So the song "Kiss the Rain" by Billie Myers fit my current mood.
Meet Jack. Jack is a Shetland Pony. Jack came to the farm for the Party. Jack loves rubs on his head. Jack has the softest fur ever!! I want to have a pony like Jack and I want Jack to come and live with me in the city.
A week ago one of music greatest performers passed away at the age of 50. We have all known him as the greatest performer alive and also the guy who invented the Moon Walk. You know who am I talking about. We all knew him as Michael Jackson.
Last Friday, when I woke up from bed, fed the dog and put the kettle on, I happened to switch on the TV in the living room and there was Mr Larry King talking about the passing of Michael Jackson. I was SHOCKED. I was in tears. I sat for a good 15 minutes just listening to CNN and Larry King. I was hoping that it was a joke, I could not believe it. I changed to BBC and they were reporting the same thing. I turned to Sky News and they too were talking about the same thing. Michael Jackson died of a cardiac arrest at the age of 50.
At work I was talking to a friend online and we were both not able to concentrate on work because of the news. Every RADIO STATION in the world was playing tributes to him. Playing all his songs. I was surprised to see that I knew most songs word for word.
I knew every blog I read was going to do a tribute to him on the day so I decided to do one a week later. I grew up listening to his songs. It was amazing. My earliest memory of singing his song was when I was 5-6 and I was in a singing group in Kindergarten and we were going to perform the song "Heal the world" for Children's Day. I ended up not singing that day because I had the "red eye" and was not allowed to come to school. But I did see them from the outside of the hall and I was really upset because I couldn't sing with my friends.
My second memory of MJ was discovering a vinyl record of his album BAD in my grandparents house. It belonged to my youngest uncle and I played it on the player and I was amazed by the song. I think if I remembered correctly, my sisters and I even choreographed a dance to the song or was it just me? Chris, Nana can you remember doing this. I think I was like 8 or 9. I remember at that age I LOVE dancing. LOL. AND MJ can DANCE. It was brilliant. No one can dance like MJ. Not Justin Timberlake or Usher or even Chris Brown. Well Usher comes in a close second. :*)
After that when Black or White came out, I remember trying to memorise the lyrics so that I can sing it when I heard it on the radio and I happened to borrow a local comic from a friend and they did the whole song in cartoons. It was hilarious but I did manage to memorise the song though.
One move that I love from MJ was the Smooth Criminal Lean. Man owh man... it was mind boggling when I saw it for the first time. How can someoone lean that far and not fall on his face? It was magic. Pure MJ magic.
Anyways, here is the song and Miss Balqiz, please do not press play because you know how the song goes and I know you were annoyed with it this morning. HAHA... Thanks for reminding me to post a tribute to him. The MJ lean is at 7:17.
Please also note that this is the extended version of the song and it goes on for about 9 minutes. Another thing I like about MJ he can make his music video into a short feature film. :*) ENJOY.
Someone asked me why did I cut my hair so short and why did I do it all of a sudden. Well...I think it was because of lunch with Tiff yesterday. We were both looking through the new Vogue Australia and was talking about how beautiful this month's issue was. We also were in pain. We were in pain because we have no money but want to go shopping. We were in pain because our life, well mine at least, was starting to get monotonous and boring.I made a vow to change my life a little bit so that's why it's OFF WITH THE HAIR. :*).
Anyway with my hair shorter now it till take an effort to maintain it. I was looking through YouTube videos last night to see how to DIY blow dry your bob and how to maintain it. I found a couple of videos but these two are the closest one to how I want to maintain it.
I do not want my hair to be as big as her and I do not live in Texas where it's humid so my hair will not be as big as her. I do not like my hair to be THAT BIG. I much prefer flat hair actually. I don't know why. But it's time to add body to my hair so I will do something similar to it.
I realise that the reason why I always have long hair is because I am lazy to maintain it. Having long hair means that I can just tie it up in a ponytail and I am out the door. This was one of the revelations that Tiff and I came up with yesterday during lunch. That We or I was lazy. I mean we don't even put make up on when we go out. Just the regular compact powder and that's it. We made an pact that we are going to make an effort to be prim and proper. :*)
Do you have any tips at all on how to maintain short hair or a bob?
