A Great new hobby

 We focus on marvelous technology and all the cool stuff we can do with a single click. But have you noticed a simple piece of jewelery that has made an impact in the past years.
   I am talking about for -a-cause  silicone wristbands. I wore the first ever wristband in 2004. It was for the Tsunami Relief Fund in Thailand. Since then, I have donned bands to support aids awareness and cancer.
  So where did the trend start?
  LIVESTRONG!  The Lance Armstrong foundation  launched wristbands in may 2004  as a fundraising item. Rest is history.

     If you're thinking of starting a fundraiser, don't miss out on these. It's a jewel! There are so many out there! Get creative and customize. The three things you need- The Internet, PayPal and a cause.

                    

            Here are different shades you can choose from, to show that you support breast cancer.

It could be a sweet way to show someone that they're special.

                                    Let us all start a hobby. Collect wristbands!

It's you and you and you.

 An Orange fingernail slashed with a shade of black.

 A nude colored lipstick,  leaves an imprint. Smack!

A tight black dress, maybe a little bit revealing.

A lose harem pant on the hippie who's singing.

A short bob, with bangs about to cover the eyes.

A long mane, curled to perfection on all sides.

Prom Queen, dazzling in diamonds.

An Olympian winner sprints like a lion.

A model on a calendar. Slim and sweet.

A firefighter mom,  beats all the heat.

 A  lover, gasping at her new promise ring.

 A  fighter,  abused in love, shuts the door on him.

 So many names,  countless attributions.

 Carved from roses, Made to perfection.

 Let's celebrate,

 Cuz we have something in common

                                                        

 Bright like a star, pure as heaven

 United under a specie, we are all called "Woman"

The Half Bitten Apple

      My relationship with Steve Jobs is relatively new. In 2010 I bought the much coveted MAC computer. And earlier this year, I watched his speech at Stanford University. For those of you who haven't, do it now. But one needs only a second to be drawn to charisma.
     Steve Jobs might not be the philanthropist we admire in Bill Gates, but he is an entrepreneur, a 'never quitter'. This is what I learn from him. He was " asked to quit" from the company he founded, at the age of 30. But he never gave up. He came back and since then he has become unstoppable.

    As I type these words, I look at my computer.  The layout, the design, the unique personality this machine device exudes. And the credits go to Steve Jobs and his friends. We would not have had the fancy Macintosh computers we learned about in school, there would be no speculations about iPhone 5. And there would be no Macbook Air ( with which you can slice an apple!).
   As the news of his death sinks in, we all mourn for the great mind. He has left an  imprint on our minds. Let us remember him every time we see the half bitten apple on our Macs, iphones, ipods.  And let me quote a very amusing Facebook status I read earlier - "With Steve Jobs gone, the apple in the Mac is now half bitten."
