You Awards (On sticky)

Advertorial

You know, I've thought that I have a really cute butt, but there seems to be no contest for me to join to show off my ... erm... favourite asset! Perhaps you also suffered the agony of braces for years and want more than praises for your teeth? Or perhaps you have a really toned physique and you think you deserve more than just appraising looks for it?

Well congrats then coz it is Watsons' annual YOU AWARDS, the award that's all about you! And you can actually win money for looking good!




Watson came up with a grand total of 8 categories for people to pit against each other! No 'butt' category, but they do have:


Healthy Hair
for hair that gives you confidence throughout the day

Fit Figure
for the body that is taut, toned and full of energy.

Flawless Face
for a face made amazing with make-up magic

Healthy Skin
for a skin that glows with health and radiance

Friendly Face (Female)
for the face that speaks the universal language of friendship

Friendly Face (Male)
for the face that speaks the universal language of friendship

Sunny Smiles
for the smile that lights up the room when you walk in

Sporty Physique
for the body that loves exercise and the great outdoors



So many!

With 8 different awards it's much easier to win isn't it? Honestly, just pick whatever you think has the least people join and go join it! OK I can't decide which one that is... I guess less people have fit figures? But I can't join that...

Ahem. Anyway, to entice you to read on I have to let you know the amazing prizes!



Wait for it...



Wait...




$2,000 for the winner of each category

PLUS


1 year modeling contract for Glow magazine

PLUS


1 year's supply of the sponsors' products!




Great prizes or what!

And to register is surprisingly easy! Check out the simple registation page here.

All you have to do is to keep a Watsons receipt (any amount will do!) and fill up the form by telling Watsons why you think your feature is unique in 400 words or less.

And then post up 2 photos of yourself! Easy right?


Now, just because I'm a Know-it-all like that, here's some pointers on how I think you can have a better chance of winning 2 categories... Flawless Face and Sunny Smiles!!


First, dress up in nice clothes and preferably a noticeable accessory! First step to being shortlisted is to be noticed!! (Mine is the hairband)

You have to put make up though, being bare-faced is obviously lame for a make-up contest.


Ugly without make-up

Everyone who knows me knows I've been using ZA's two way cakes ever since I was 13! It has always been my favourite!

Recently Andie introduced to me Revlon's awesome liquid soft-flex foundation and it has officially joined my make up family!

It's really, really cool! The foundation has a crazy magic formula that lets it stay on your face for HOURS AND HOURS. The texture is a little like... deodorant. You know how when you put deodorant you can't really 'rub' it off? It's like that! But powdery!

And miraculously enough it doesn't ever (EVER) let your t-zone shine, no matter how oily your skin is. Marvellous.

However, I don't like the colour as much as I do ZA's powders, so I do a mixture of Revlon on T-zone and Za all over.


(And btw these are really my own opinions Revlon is totally not paying me to say this)


Put a little on your sponge just like that.



Spread it evenly... Apply ZA...

And your base is done!



Glam up your peekers with loads of mascara!


On my lower lashes - Loreal's lash fibres and Rimmel's mascara as the second coat because it's a nice shade of brown.

And my eyes are done!


Next step is for Sunny Smiles!

First you go brush your teeth real clean!!!


And then...





Remember to apply lip colour because nobody wants to see pale and cracked lips!


You can cam-whore while you are at it:







There! You are all ready to take photos! First for your Flawless Face Award...

Have a few for selection.

You can try the classic act chio pose...



Or I'd suggest a pose more special so that you get noticed!



Like this? :D


And as for the Sunny Smiles Award...



Just make sure you are feeling really happy when you are taking it, because a smile can always reach your eyes, and those are the best kind of smiles!


Now that you've got your photos, make sure the pictures you have are clear, sharp and bright!

Then you can send them in HERE.

Recruitment is open from now till June 10th only so hurry!


AND WAIT!

If you are not interested to join in the contest, you can still join in the fun by voting!

Voters also get prizes! The 8 lucky voters who correctly vote for the correct category winners will stand to win attractive product hampers each worth up to $50 in value and a $100 Watsons Voucher!

However, voting only starts on the 18th of June so there's a long way to go.


If you are joining, Good luck! =D

Spotlight on director Yvette Nolan for FANCY DANCER

Yvette Nolan (Algonquin) is a playwright, dramaturg, and director. She's the editor of Beyond the Pale: Dramatic Writing from First Nations Writers and Writers of Colour. She was the president of the Playwrights Union of Canada (1998- 2001) and of Playwrights Canada Press (2003-2005), and was the National Arts Centre's Playwright-In-Residence (2007-2008). Yvette is currently the Artistic Director of Native Earth Performing Arts and Past President of the Indigenous Performing Arts Alliance. She was recently awarded the City of Toronto's Aboriginal Affairs Award.

Native Voices: You also attended the Origins Festival in London. How was your experience over there?
Yvette Nolan: London was great, and odd, and jarring. It was very strange to be welcomed to a land by the Maori people, whose land it is not. It was odd to not acknowledge the people whose traditional land it is, which is our practice up here in Canada, because we did not know who to thank. Celts? Saxons? Druids? It was strange to be in a country with so much green that is so - gardened. Wonderful green spaces, all beautifully manicured. So unlike my experience of land, of my land, which still bears the implication of wild. But doing theatre for those audiences was - well, it is a bit of a universal language, innit? Like theatregoers generally want to experience something through the art form, and so are open to the form. So that was great. One of my favourite moments was seeing one of the Origins festival volunteers in tears at the end of the performance - her fourth time in attendance.

NV: Native Earth Performing Arts is the oldest Aboriginal theatre company in Canada. What was the Native theatre "scene" like when Native Earth was founded?
YN: There was no Native theatre scene when Native Earth was founded, which is why the company was created. Jim Buller, the founder of the Association for Native Development of Performing Arts, produced what may be the first Native penned play in Canada, October Stranger, in 1977, adapted from his book Indians Don't Cry. He then founded the World Indigenous Theatre Festival in 1980, bringing together a bunch of Native artists, including Spiderwoman Theatre. Jim became the go-to guy for Native theatre, and when someone approached him to put together a production for the opening of a gallery, Jim directed them to Denis Lacroix, a Native actor, who roped in Bunny Sicard, and ta-dah! Native Earth was born. His work here done, Jim died, just as Native Earth was being born, in 1982. Bunny and Denis called together a bunch of Native artists who decided on the company's purpose and vision.

NV: Can you tell us a little about Native Earth?
YN: Native Earth was created as a place for Native artists to work together to create theatre. The vision is still to create, develop, and produce the professional artistic expression of the Aboriginal experience in Canada through theatre, dance and multi-disciplinary work, new script development, apprenticeships and internships. As the community has evolved, so has the company. We have more artists who have more formal training, or are trained in multiple disciplines. They have seen a body of work as they grew up, work by Native artists, and by artists from other cultural communities, and all that has inspired them. We are currently developing an opera in English, French and Algonquin, complete with a chorus of wolves, scientests, trees, and a 150-year heroine. The music is a combination of baroque and traditional. In a recent workshop, we had three Native singers. At the same time, we are still nurturing emerging writers who are writing about blood quantum, familial dysfunction, the apocalypse...

NV: What drew you to the profession of theatre?
YN: My parents, an Algonquin woman and an Irish immigrant, valued the arts inordinately, so they gave me books of art, piano and ballet lessons, drama classes, literature, from a very young age. I was a performer from a very young age, thought I wanted to be a ballet dancer, then an actor. I wanted to tell stories, and it is easier to tell stories as a playwright, as a director, as a producer. Voice was important to me very early, because both my parents came from silenced people, colonized people. Both came to English from another tongue - my father was the best Irish speaker in high school! - I have his award. My mother spoke Algonquin first, then French, then English.

NV: What is your earliest theatrical memory?
YN: Oh my, I don't remember the first one. I remember rounding up the neighbourhood kids and creating plays with them when I was seven. I remember doing the doll dance and the bee ballet when I was seven and eight years old at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet school. Man, I milked those for a good decade, because my mother never got tired of laughing at me sending myself up. "Do the bee ballet! Do the bee ballet!"

NV: If you could go back in time, which era would you visit?
YN: None. I don't want to go back. I only want to move forward. I don't really need to go back in time, because in my cosmology, all times exist now anyway. The ancestors are here with us, right?

NV: What's the longest standing item on your "To Do" list?
YN: Ooooooooooohh stop, it hurts.

NV: What is your greatest indulgence?
YN: I don't think of them as indulgences, I think of them as necessities. Chocolate, red wine, the New Yorker, boyfriends. Nachos. Maybe nachos.

NV: Fill in the blank: It's not theatre if it's not ___________.
YN: I don't know if I could ever say what theatre is not. I have seen theatre with no performers in it. I have seen theatre with no audience. I have seen theatre that did not change anyone in any way, and I guess for me theatre needs to be transformative. We need to be changed through the process of it, of doing it, of watching it, of participating in it. So for me, personally, its not theatre if it is not transformative. But that is a very personal thing.

NV: The 2009-2010 Season marks Native Voices' Tenth Anniversary at the Autry. Where do you think Native theatre will be in the next ten years?
YN: Oh my god. Visible. I hope we can be visible. On more stages, not just Native stages, but on other stages, being produced by other producers with resources.

Bali!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna go to Bali for a sponsored 4 day holiday! Lucky or what!

I've always want to go there but this is my virgin trip. *crazed smile*

I'm gonna be honest with you guys... Don't think I'd update the blog blog part of the blog, but for sure I'd update the Photo of the Moment and Twitter!

So come come to check for my holiday pictures before I even blog about them normally! :D

I checked and the roaming data price is 2c per 1kb. How much is that exactly? I guess I just won't be excessive.

Anyway I'm so happy coz I can take beautiful shots with my new camera! So excited!!!

I already put it into a waterproof bag (Juicy, no less) to prevent the same thing from happening to my old Cybershot (ie drowned in sea water together with phone). FML.

p/s: I cannot understand why any of you think that the jerboa is not cute. Just because it looks nothing like we've ever seen before doesn't mean it's not cute what!

All about Mobile Broadband

Mobile Broadband is all about accessing internet on the go and all the time. WiFi is limited to only finding hotspots and at all other times you will not be able to access the internet. There are many other Wireless Internet options available like Wi-Max, satellite, etc but mobile broadband seems to be the best service nowadays for people constantly traveling across places.

There ia a larger problem with satellite broadband it is broadband only in the Internet to home direction and not for the home to Internet direction, you still will need a physical connection, usually this where a mobile solution pitches in best. Most folks I know use Mobile broadband through your cell, but the cost is very un-prohibitive, and I am sure it is very expensive at all places around the world. However, you may encounter roaming charges too when you leave your base network in most places and this charges are just over the roof.

The most important decision if you're using the internet that much is to choose a mobile broadband deal that has a big enough data option - you need to make sure you don't go over your data limit or you could be hit with big charges from the mobile network and when I say BIG it is simply HUGE.

Let's say that you're planning to use it for 15-20 hours a week, and that's mainly web and email (and not much youtube / downloading) then I would say that you're going to need atleast around 3GB per month(on the MAX side). Consider getting a larger data plan is absolutely safe. Most mobile networks currently have great deals where they don't charge overage - atleast after the iPhone launches.

There's loads of good deals around at the moment - try http://www.broadbandexpert.com for a list of all the networks offers and do mail me if you still have queries - I can surely try to help you as usual.

Chris Brown Surfaces on YouTube



Chris Brown surfaced on YouTube promoting a new album and telling the world "I ain't no monster." Wow, who woulda thunk it?

Chris Brown seems to be completely unapologetic for what occured in February 2009 and denies that Rihanna had a black eye and sorta dismisses the fact that he was even arrested for it. 

What do you think? Is Chris Brown's career over? Or will the public let it go and embrace him once again?
