    Back pain

    September 24, 2008 /

    I’m sorry for the lack of updates; been rushing to meet deadlines for few assignments. Right now I’m having a back pain due to long hours of sitting in front of the monitor. My knee is in pain too and I think I need to get myself the icy hot knee sleeves from the pharmacy tomorrow. As for the back pain, I think I need to go and see the doctor. Speaking of back and knee pain, my friend suggested that I use MBT shoes. I didn’t know what MBT was and had to google for it as suggested by my friend. She said I will get better explanations on the web. Ok, MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology and it is a revolutionary fitness aid from SwissMasai. The shoes will improve the use of our joints and spine. The uniquely designed sole, combined with correct training, achieves a more active and healthy posture and walk. This is one cool find and I definitely want one for myself. Anybody knows where to get MBT shoes in Malaysia?

    Okies, gotta go now and finished off my work. I hope to complete my dragonfly drawing soon. Till then, below are some dollies I made recently.

    – a dolly (one) that mimics you
    – one additional element
    – plain color clothings
    – rss button (free; so you can opt for the non RSS as well)

    If you wish to have additional items other than the specified above, I have to charge a little bit more for the extra work. I hope you understand.

    Below is the rate for additional items:
    – a partner dolly – another USD2 (RM7)
    – additional item – USD1 each (RM3.50)

    Please make payment first and then submit your order (email to: emila@emilayusof.com) along with:

    – your blog’s url (as reference when creating your dolly)
    – one additional item that you like me to add (two if you’re buying the couple dolly)

    (I am in the process of creating a contact form to submit your info, so this will only be temporary.)

    I can also give you a bigger size dolly (maximum A5) for additional USD2 (RM7). The file will be in PNG/JPG file only.

    I am not accepting EC Credits as I cannot convert them into cash anymore.

    Borders UK

    September 21, 2008 /

    I normally browse the UK books at borders.co.uk for reference every time I feel like buying a book, or two, for myself. Borders.co.uk is the ultimate online resource featuring over one million books, Cds and DVDs, for book, music and film lovers everywhere. Even though they deliver only to EU countries, that does not stop me from reading synopsis and reviews. I found many interesting books today; two currently being on top my books-to-buy list. I am getting myself Things I Want My Daughters to Know by Elizabeth Noble. It’s about a mother, Barbara, who must say a final farewell to her four daughters. Barbara writes each daughter a letter, finally expressing the hopes, fears, dreams and secrets she could not always voice. Another one is Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns which presents the story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely bond and an indestructible love. I’ve watched the interview with Khaled in Borders TV and it was great to learn how he got the idea to write this book. You might want to see this interview too, so you need to go the Borders TV tab and type in Khaled Hosseini and hit Go. You will see two videos of him.

    If you are in UK or EU Countries, do not miss the chance to grab some books at borders.co.uk as they are having a sale. Most of the books are on 35 – 40% discount.

    And oh, you might want to try their new spookily accurate book suggestion system; it’s spookily accurate!
