We’ve talked about maximizing your strengths on the previous post, now what do we do with your weaknesses?
We all have our bad times. Or perhaps some of us are already born with the certain disadvantages that put us a notch below the others. But actually, who is it that is there to determine what is normal or success? And how do we weight ourselves, is it from your heart, or is it from how others see you?
After watching this talk by Aimee Mullins on TEDs, I guess she gave us a very simple but powerful answer.

Well, I vowed that I will catch the lady boys this time at Bangkok, and I made it! Went to watch the Mambo Cabaret Show at Bangkok, Thailand, and to my pleasant surprise, they did a dance cover for the popular Korean group Wonder Girls’ “Nobody”!
Yep, they are the lady boys. Or you can call them the transvestite or the “agua”s, but whatever you call them, they did a pretty great job!
And I really mean, PRETTY! They’re hotter than many girls out there okay, you can’t find a trace of manliness in their performance!
Here’s a video of the performance. Don’t miss it, really!!

Christmas is coming near, and well a blog isn’t a blog without something to celebrate Christmas!
Well for this blog this time, I am going to put together 15 Original Christmas Songs from people all over the net!
These people I find are highly talented and highly creative to come up with these original Christmas songs, something that are very different from the Christmas traditionals that we hear every day.
What’s even greater is that these people had put in that much effort to create content that is original and are actually very good all by themselves to share with the world. The power of Web 2.0!
I’m not gonna bug you with more prep talks, bump in for some sweet (and some funny) original Christmas music!

She must be a real charm to inspire one of the most popular Bossa Nova songs of the century.
A Brazilian song written in 1962, The Girl From Ipanema (Garota De Ipanema) continues to fascinate us even today with its sweet tune that evokes the gentle breeze of the beach, the sounds of the waves and of course, the beautiful girl that crosses in front of you.
Time to take a break from the blaring radio hits and chart toppers, and come here for some chill music.

If anything, this is one hell of a good advert and a good marketing campaign!
It’s humorous, it’s smart, and it’s Halloween! Samsung did a great job this time, gathering zombies, an alien, Medusa, Frankenstein, a witch and a troll to teach you how to take pictures of yourself, the smart way.
Learn from this Guide To Taking Better Pictures… Of Yourself. It’s all about the angles, baby!
