Why Girls Love Shopping????


Why Girls Love Shopping? I think this is the question that most guys want to know… Right????

Actually girls love to shop like guys love to play video games. When shopping, , girls like to have fun because it makes them feel excited, and happy. Shopping is an easy way for most girls to accomplish that goal. They first have to find whatever they are looking for, then try them on, decide on whether or not to buy it, and then they either continue to search for it, or they buy it. For girls shopping is a whole other story, they absolutely love it. Shopping is like therapy, except not as much talking. Most girls normally have many qualifications that need apply when they are deciding if they want to buy it. These qualifications usually consist of; size, fit, color, style, and price. Guys on the other hand just want to get shopping over and down with, they just don’t understand.
Girls usually hate repeating outfits too frequently, so they always want to buy more clothes. Many girls are very picky about what they wear, so they are always looking for something that will fit their interests and that is one of the reasons that girls are always going to the mall. The only problem is that no matter what girls do, they always seem to run out of money too quickly. They tend to make the mistake of always spending their money all in one place, so for some girls shopping is a rare occasion that they like to treasure as often as they can.
And the other reason is trend. Frankly, fashion changes every minute and a girl has to keep up with it. It's almost criminal among girls to be outdated and subtle suggestions to contact the fashion police will be made. Shopping is a necessary way to follow trends and stay up to date.
Everyone else should learn to accept the truth that girls were born to shop and they are never going to stop.

Friendship and Money



Nowadays, many people will make friends with you because you have money or may be you can give advantages to them... So, according to many people, “True friendship should not involve money…”

Friendship is considered to be the most transparent relationship that a person can ever have in life. It is the most precious relationship that a person can ever be gifted with. In true friendship there is no self involved because one always feels for a friend from the heart. Thus matters like money should not come in between friendship. It is evident that whenever there has been money involved in friendship, somehow it has created confusions. Friends should always remain devoid of matters which can create any kind of misunderstandings and money is one such matter which can surely make a relationship bitter. True friendship is a mental and spiritual connection between two individuals and monetary matters can only cause a problem in the healthy being of this relationship.

On the other hand, friends can help each other out in difficult situations and this also can involve financial situations. If I had enough money and my friend was struggling in financially problem, then I would certainly help them out.

But, if a friend took advantage of my generosity and kept demanding money from me, then that I'd know that they weren't a true friend. I'd never make that mistake though because I'd only ever lend out money to people that I believe would not abuse the friendship, which means that I would be reassured that money was not the foundations of the friendship. You do have to be careful with money and yes, some people will try to take advantage if you have lots of it. No friendship is perfect. Friends will argue and there may be many problems but it's getting through these problems, sticking by each other and helping each out in times of need that bring love and sincerity to a friendship......

My Experience at Starbucks Coffee Workshop

On 21 February ’09(Saturday), my entire English classmate and I went to Starbucks to hear the explanation about Starbucks. After I came to Malaysia, this was the second time I went to starbucks. At first, I think that just a coffee, why so expensive? Coffee is one of my favorite drinks. I never think that a cup of coffee they charged me 12 rm. But, after I heard the explanation, I knew the value of Starbucks coffee and why many people still like it even though it is expensive.

In here, I will talk some my experience at Starbucks that happened on Saturday.
Actually this is group works to hear the explanation from the real lecture. We need to take notes, records, and take picture about what happened at Starbucks. After that we need to make it into a journal. So, at first, I feel so frustrated, need to take notes, need to record, need to make a journal. >_<

When we entered Starbucks, we saw the Starbucks employers. They are very kind and friendly. They make people feel very comfortable in there. Before start, they gave us a small cup of Espresso (Cappuccino with blended ice) coffee. It was so delicious. :-p

There are two classes of coffee, Arabica and Robusta. Starbucks uses Arabica coffee. They said that Arabica coffee is the best class of coffee. There are some reasons why they use Arabica coffee, it is more aromatic (have the unpredicted flavors), and high quality.
There are three best place to grow coffee; Latin America (like Mexico, South America, and Central America), Africa/Arabia (like Kenya), and the last one is Asia Pacific (like Indonesia (Sumatra and Papua New Guinea)).

I also learn how to taste the coffee, there are 4 steps:
1. Smell.....We cover the cup use three fingers
2. Slurp….. We slurp like when we eat Maggie Mie
3. Locate the experience in our tongue
4. Create a coffee description.

After teach us the steps, they gave us 4 kinds (Latin America, Sumatra, Espresso, and Robusta) original coffee, without put any sugar or milk. They wanted us used the steps to feel the differences between the 4 kinds of coffee. According to me, I prefer the Sumatra coffee, because it’s more favorable and the aroma is like coffee that I always drink at home.

After the lecture finished the presentation, they gave us door gifts, a Starbucks’s cup and a pack of Espresso Roast Coffee. I heard that value of the door gifts is least 50RM.
I have tried the coffee at home, it’s nice... ^_^
