Destination: Portugal
My friend and I have been talking about Portugal the other night. It was a place we wanted to go to a few years back but for some reason we couldn’t remember anymore, our plans did not push through. There are late Portugal deals that we can avail of and we are thinking about it. Hopefully, this time around, our plans will come to fruition.
On The Beach, found at otbeach.com, is a live online search for Portugal holidays, search based on inputs from the searcher. Key in number of people, inclusive dates, etc. and then search for the holiday place you can go to. We’re doing that tomorrow night when we finalize our talks. Want to go to Portugal with us?
Much needed pampering
After all the rounds of partying and year-ending hard work in the office plus some exams at the graduate school, I think I need a place like the Aventura Spa Palace to go to, don’t you think? I can just imagine a paradise-like resort, with the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, white sand and some much needed pampering… heaven! The Aventura Spa Palace is an adults only resort that is on a lagoon style beach. What I want is a deluxe full-service spa which is actually the main highlight of the place.
What with all the stress of December, a much needed relaxation is really my main agenda before the start of the new year. It will surely ‘recharge’ my body and make me ready to take all the challenges of the coming year head on. How about you, want to pamper yourself and indulge in a luxurious spa?

Top Five Dating Mistakes That Men Make
1. Men Show Off or Try to Impress Too Much. Don’t offer your resume, your earning potential, and tell us how you’ll change our lives the first time we meet you. Instead of talking about yourself the whole night, ask questions! Don’t come on too strong right away. Let us figure out if we want to be with you, instead of telling us we do.
2. Men Don’t Listen to Us When We’re Talking. We notice if you stop listening to us, if you ask us questions we just answered, or if you keep interrupting us when we’re opening up. This drives most women nuts! Unless you’re on call, don’t check your Blackberry at dinner and don’t check out other women. Focus on the woman across the table from you and listen to what she has to say.
3. Men Aren’t Chivalrous. The lines here are not always clear. We want you to treat us like equals, but we also want you to treat us like women. It’s nice when a man picks up the tab or makes sure his date gets home safely. It may be old-fashioned, but a number of women report that dating a gentleman matters.

Online trivia
I don’t know with you people but I am a sports and movie junkie. I love watching sports games. I know almost every player in NFL, NBA, tennis and even women’s volleyball. Must have been borne out of being an athletic person myself. I also love watching movies. I mentioned in one of my previous posts that our family loves to engage in movie marathons especially on Friday nights. We have a home theatre at home and it feels great to spend time with the family there. So I believe I am a movie and sports junkie and I can take on any trivia challenge in those two categories thrown my way. Bring it on!

Fearless Mice Cuddle Up to Cats

Fearless, Or Crazy
In this undated photo released by Tokyo University’s Department of Biophysics and Biochemistry Graduate School of Science, a genetically modified mouse stays near a cat in Tokyo. Using genetic engineering, scientists at Tokyo University say they have successfully switched off the rodents’ instinct to cower at the smell or presence of cats, showing that fear is genetically hardwired and not leaned through experience, as commonly believed.
