Its the end of the craziest month of the year ( when all the craziest people are born) and a huge thank you goes out to all those who FOLLOW this blog...or LURK in its dark corners...or stop by for a quick peek once in a while...
Ranting, raving and contemplating on here helps keep me sane and its great to know that Im not alone in this blog box. Another choc-chip covered thank you goes out to all those who leave comments...tell their friends about something wacky they've read while they're Sleepless...or say HI on FB and Twitter. Next time my Fab Five reprimand me for being antisocial, I shall point to you all in cyberspace and say...'See? I'm hanging out with all of these awesome folks!'
The winner of the lucky draw for a complimentary copy of "Pacific Tsunami Galu Afi" is : HULALINEI. Yaaaay!
And because I'm a crazy April baby, I said what the heck and pulled out another name from the box in celebration of my birthday...and the winner of another complimentary copy is: CHELLE. Double yaaaaay!

Jessica Jane-Clement lingerie pics never cease to amaze
Jessica Jane-Clement is just so damn hot it hurts. Can you imagine if there were no Nuts magazine for her to pose in lingerie for? How would we get our fix? They’re really doing the Lord’s work those people over there in England. God bless them one and all. Instead of all the focus on the Royal Wedding we really should be holding special events for these people every weekend. Just sayin’…

Royal Wedding

Thousands of well-wishers from around the world have also flocked to London to witness the spectacle and pageantry of the Royal Wedding
What books are in your Bomb Shelter?
I just hooked up with a neat book review blog called 'Starting the Next Chapter.' And while Im trying to figure out how to put a blog link into this post (since I'm a witless nitwit when it comes to techno stuff) I thought i would take on one of her book questions...
What TEN books would you store in your bomb shelter with you? (In anticipation of the collapse of the world as we know it.)
1. My scriptures. (And Im not just saying that because my kids might read this post.)
2. Twilight - the super sized edition of the whole series.
3. Harry Potter
4. Sophie Kinsella's 'Shopaholic' series
5. The Narnia series.
6. The Little House on the Prairie. (Because nobody does wilderness survival quite like Laura Ingalls Wilder.)
7. Marianne Keyes - 'Is anybody out there?'
8. Feist and Wurts - 'Servant of the Empire'
9. Something steamy by Norah Roberts. (For when I needed to take a break from the doom and gloom of the post-apocalyptic world and get some thrills.)
10. Macbeth.
So tell us - what books would YOU take into your bomb shelter with you? And while youre puzzling on it, check out Marla's blog at the following link.

New message from Emma Watson
Dear all,
I felt the need to let you all know the reason I took a semester off from Brown had nothing to do with bullying as the media have been suggesting recently. I have never been bullied in my life and certainly never at Brown. This '10 points to Gryffindor' incident never even happened. I feel the need to say this because accusing Brown students of something as serious as bullying and this causing me to leave seems beyond unfair.
Please don't try and speculate about what I might do in September - no one can possibly know because I don't even know yet! Like my other fellow Brown students I am trying to figure out my third year and whether or not I will spend it abroad (this is common).
I hope you all liked the new Harry Potter trailer. I am off to Pittsbugh soon to start "The Perks of being a Wallflower". I've just got back from hanging out with Stephen Chobosky (the director and writer), Logan and Ezra (the two other principal actors) and I already know this is going to be an incredible experience. I feel very lucky.
Hope you are all doing good.
Take care,
Love Emma xx.
Words to Live For.
The Nicest Things my Children have ever said to me.
1. I love you more than all the rubbish in the world.
2. You're not fat mum. You're snuggly.
3. You're the most beautiful mum in the world. Can I have some more dessert please?
4. I read your book and I forgot that you had written it. I thought it was a real book by a real writer!
5. My friends all think you're really cool. I dont know why.
6. Don't worry mum. Its okay. You cant be good at everything. (after I came last in a funrun.)
7. You look so pretty when you wear your glasses. Because then your eyes dont get lost in your forehead. (Huh?)
8. Do you want me to hold your hand and pull you across the finish line? (From a 5yr old.)
9. I love you mum. I'm never going to take you back to the Mummy Shop to get a different one.
10. You make the best food in the world. Almost as good as McDonalds!
And the most satisfying thing? The words i LIVE for?
"You were right Mum."

Melissa Ma Nuo 马诺 from Beijing, China - Lenglui #163
Name: Melissa Ma Xuan Zi 马瑄紫
Date of Birth: Feb 17, 1988
Height: 165 cm
Weight: 44 kg
Measurements: 33 24 34

About: Melissa Ma Xuan Zi 马瑄紫 or better known as Ma Nuo 马诺 is a model from Beijing that became an overnight sensation after her bold and sharp comments as a guest on the Jiangsu TV reality dating programme, "Fei Cheng Wu Rao" (If You’re the One) 非诚勿扰. Ma Nuo has acquired something of a material girl image after she made remarks that some people considered too outspoken and glamorized money and wealth while she shunned off poor people.
In the show, she haughtily rejected an offer from a male contestant to take a ride on his bike. "I'd rather cry in a BMW car than to laugh on the backseat of a bicycle," Ma Nuo told her suitor with a giggle. This televised smackdown swept the Internet and made an instant celebrity of Ma Nuo, who left the show without a match but has since entertained numerous television offers and become one of the most talked-about women in China.
Combined with her vulgar behaviour scandal whereby Ma Nuo dashed out during one of the video recording programme after having heated arguments with the other girls. The entire fiasco was recorded down by the video director and made its way to the Internet.
In May 20, 2010, China Netizens posted a 1 hour and 58 minutes AV video with the actress in it resembling Ma Nuo. Rumors were spreading like wild fire across the Internet linking it to Ma Nuo. It was an obvious Japanese AV video and they found out later that the actress in it was actually Aya Koizumi (小泉彩). But they certainly look alike in the video. With all these scandals and fake news, Ma Nuo was the center of attention in China during that period.
Later in June 13, 2010, Ma Nuo broke into tears and apologized to the audience during a TV show explaining that she wasn't a material girl in real life. After graduation, Ma Nuo wanted to gain popularity via TV by joining "Fei Cheng Wu Rao" TV reality dating programme. According to her, she was used to by the crews of the TV programme to make it more entertaining.
Was it real? Whatever it was, "Ma Nuo's phenomenon" is a true reflection of the current society. They have grown up in a society that is quickly accumulating material wealth. They are snobbish. They worship money, cars and houses because the highly developing economy has made them do so. So, does Ma Nuo speaks for herself? No, her opinion resonates with the youth.
Also, like most popular and pretty models in China, Ma Nuo paid for her beauty and underwent plastic surgery. Anyway, only the best of Ma Nuo available here, all filtered by http://dailylenglui.asia.
