...and we're BACK!

2007-04-01T21:32:00.000+10:00

After a long draught, we are finally back!
We are sincerely sorry to all our DIE HARD FANS!
But due to such requests... being harrased on our phones and mailed to our houses, DEMANDING we re appear... we decided to put all your minds at rest :)

So much has happened since we last met!

Tay knocked her head last year in july where she decided she no longer wanted to continue with pharmacy anymore and take on a career in public health (as you may already be aware)

As the lovely Noora, stayed faithful to the drug company... i mean... pharmacy career :)

So as the story continues... Nooz and Tay have now been split physically...
no longer in classes together... and sharing subjects together [readers: awwwww]

But have no fear... the blog will still appear!

We will continue to brighten your lives with our random stories as our friendship still survives!

Please enjoy your stay here on the blog of Nooz and Tay!

Hope you have a wonderful day! :)

Miracles can happen!

It was during the cold, short days at the start of 2006 that Sandi Thom had her Eureka! moment.
Instead of driving to gigs up and down the country with her band in her clapped-out car, as she had done for years, the singer from Scotland resolved to try a different approach.
She bought a webcam, and announced a run of 21 shows to be performed on consecutive nights during February and March in the basement of her flat in Tooting, South London. The audience capacity in the flat itself was limited to just six people. But the half-hour shows were to be broadcast, free of charge, via her website at www.sandithom.com.

The first night, 70 people tuned in to watch, the next night it went up to 670. And by the middle of the second week she was performing to a peak audience of 70,000. By then, the suits from every major record label had visited the flat to see the show for themselves.

What they heard was a singer with a sensational voice - strong and expressive enough to fill the largest theatres, but also warm and soulful enough to win over hearts and minds in the most intimate of settings. All the record companies put in offers, and a fortnight after finishing her virtual tour Thom signed a recording contract with RCA executive Craig Logan, live in front of her webcam audience.

Moral of the story: FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS...AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

From the bottom of your heart!

2006-10-10T08:08:00.000+10:00

Try to laugh and smile today! Strive also to make others around you happy!

Even if you have to just look happy, or smile at a random!

Hope you all have a great day!

Love these days is over rated!

2006-10-03T08:36:00.000+10:00

These days, certain views that at one stage seemed fixed and proper, are now being altered and moulded with the 'so crafty' hands of society into a new form that is so complex and unrecognisable to someone that may be quite conservative.
Two extremely different concepts are merging together and should so well be categorized into different segments... Lust and Love.

Is 'true love' as they say, possible?
Is love at first sight, with the 'oh so uncontrolable butterflies' actually a real form of love?
Is the phrase' till death do us part' over rated?

In the Baha'i Writtings it says that "Love gives life to the lifeless. Love lights the flame of a heart that is cold. Love gives hope to the hopless, and gladens the hearts of the sorrowful."
-Abdu'l-baha

The lustful love that is exposed left, right and centre on television, bilboards, magazines, movies and nearly everything we set eyes on, is definately not a love that would give life to the lifeless.

It is a built up fanatasy that demonstrates nothing but temporary happiness.
Happiness that may even last for one day.

To "gladden the hearts of the sorrowful", love needs to be longer lasting and pretty much eternal.
The words 'I love you' are constantly being said, but what does it mean to really love someone?
If your love for anyone or anything is based purely on physical or material means, than this love will only last temporarily...
If your love is based on spiritual, and to an extent, emotional and charactristical love, than this will reflect on others and positive changes will occur in the world with people loving eachother for the right reasons.

In the movie 'the notebook' it says that the best love is the kind that "makes us reach for more..."
"...that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds"

Maybe in our lives we can all attempt to concentrate on things we love about others that are not necesarily materially and physically rooted so it does not just last for a short time.
But a love that is spiritual and will last for eternity.

It is not for those that live in their own bubble...
It is for ALL to observe!

HOORAY FOR SCIENCE

2006-09-27T15:03:00.000+10:00

If i could... i would eat this every single second of the day... chain chocolate eater... THATS ME!

Arnotts Tim Tams, Arnotts Crowns, cadbury chocolate's cookies and cream, snickers, mars ANYTHING made from Mr. Coco choco!

What makes it worse, this little devil is not illegal just to put me away from misery...
they even say its GOOD for you and it has health benefits?

GOOD FOR YOU? is THAT wat you saying? WHYYYY peooOOPLE?

well let me just infrom you... all people reading this now... chocolate ISNT that great for you! especially in high amounts.

I had to find an article to stop my addiction one way or another... it was actually going OUT OF CONTROL! (my best friend in times of need)

Chocolate contains stearic acid, a saturated fat.
Saturated fats increase LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels which in turn increase risks of coronary artery disease and coronary death.

It also DECREASES HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol, which is infact the better cholesterol, and by decreasing this it may increase tendencies toward fibrin and plaque deposition in the development of atherosclerosis.
You can see the visual effects of arthrosclerosis in our previous blog entry, which shows you exacly how your arteries will look with high amounts of saturated fats.

So girls and boys that are addicted to chocolate... we now have a LIGGIT excuse to eat less of it... HORRAY FOR SCIENCE! =)

coco's of love,
tay xo

Wake up call People!

2006-09-22T14:47:00.000+10:00

Look What happens to your arteries!
The lecturer put this picture up today in the lecture and totally freaked me out...
Ok now listen... im telling you guys cause i love you all! i really do!
For all you that smoke...STOP SMOKING!
For all you that have McDonalds regulary.... yes you may live out out of home and not with your parents, bla bla bla, excuse excuse excuse....STOP NOW...if your eating a Big Mac or McChicken right now...GO THROW IT OUT!

Basically all these products containing cholesterol and bad fats (wont go into detail), clog up your arteries...
and in worst case scenario, all that stuff BURSTS and blocks up arteries, and yep you have heart attack, stroke etc.

Your blood pressure increases becuase it takes more effort for blood to pump through and its soo hard to turn back!

Please guys, look after yourselves... i want to be able to play cards with you, tell stories and go travelling, climb up mountains, go for walks along the beach (yes im serious) and to be able to go to the gym and 'senior aerobics classes' when we retire and are 60!

just for thought...
bundles of love,

Unreliable, totally random and super super cool! Urban dicionary is a online slang dictionary that anyone can add to!
Its desinged for 'street talk' and colloquial kinda stuff... yeah?
check it out on www.urbandicionary.com.
Just for your own personal amusement look up ANYTHING YOU WANT... you would be suprised of what comes up!

On a more 'serious' kind of note, its formaly known cousin, 'Wikepedia', is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
Wikipedia is more commonly used for assignments and university orientated tasks, but infact, i hate to burst your BUBBLE (cause Noora burst mine), it is an unreliable source where everyone can edit it.

Now you wouldn't want someone off the street like me coming and editing something soo significate and soo techinical that i know NOTHING ABOUT, like my views on public law? or quantam physics.... i wouldnt even have a cluue!

so next time your trying to find a definition... go back to the good old sources like books? have you guys forgotten our friends that are sitting on the shelves, being convered by DUST! and they are much more reliable!

Good luck with your assignments that are due soo very soon for many for you
and for the rest of you go on urban dicionary.

haha look up tay if your bored, funny stuff!

Cheezy Cheezle fun!

2006-09-11T19:45:00.001+10:00

These are the party tricks that we found on the back of the Cheezle box! soo lame and funny! havnt seen something like this ever in my life!
As follows:

- Take a box of Mini Cheezles, and a bunch of good friends
- Put on your favorite song and start building the highest tower you can... our of Mini Cheezels
- If you konwck someone else's tower over you are DISQUALIFIED!

- The person with the tallest tower at the end of the song is crowned the Mini Cheezels Maximus! (That's a Little Big hero!)

Ok clearly this was written for 5 year olds that had nothing better to do in life... but really did make us laugh!

Jokes on the back of the box:

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road twice?
A: Because it was a double-crosser.

Q: What do chickens grow on?
A: Egg plants.

Q: What do you call a rooster who crows at the same time every morning?
A: An alarm cluck!

Now listen to how this little cheezy friend is described on the box: you will lose the plot!

This gorgous, delicious hunk was bornk in 1971. He reckons he's a Carpicorn on the cusp of Aquarious because he's gregarious, gets on with everyone, and loves to throw parties for family and friends... as well as share quiet moments with someone special, or specialy moments with someone quiet. You'll fin him at every party, at the movies, entertaining at BBQ's, or even snugllled up with you on your couch at home.

I know... WHAT THE?

Cheezles of Love,

An apple a day... Keeps the Doc Away!

2006-09-06T13:58:00.000+10:00

This fruit that we all so commonly take for granted... is soo kind to us and is beneficial to us EVERYDAY!

APPLES REALLY ARE GOOD FOR YOU!
To get the nutritional benefits associated with eating apples, we should have alteast ONE a day!

Some of the great things this little round green thing can do is: Lower blood cholesterol, improved bowel function, reduced risk of stroke, prostate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma.

And some great facts about this spherical little friend include:

A medium apples is about 80 calories.
Apples are fat, sodium, and cholesterol free.
Apples are a great source of the fiber pectin. One apple has five grams of fiber.
The science of apple growing is called pomology.
Apples were the favorite fruit of ancient Greeks and Romans.
Apples are a member of the rose family.
25 percent of an apple's volume is air. That is why they float.
In colonial time apples were called winter banana or melt-in-the-mouth.
The old saying, “ an apple a day, keeps the doctor away ”. This saying comes from am old English adage, “ To eat an apple before going to bed, will make the doctor beg his bread.”
Don't peel your apple. Two-thirds of the fiber and lots of antioxidants are found in the peel Antioxidants help to reduce damage to cells, which can trigger some diseases.

Or in simple terms guys... i feel like an apple RIGHT NOW...

Crunches of love,

Tay xo

Service...Everybody, Everyday!

2006-08-28T09:51:00.000+10:00

Service is something that occurs everyday... right infront of us, without even realising.

You may be helping someone pick up something they dropped, or smiling at a person you walk past and make their day...

It dosnt necesarily have to be an act of some sort that everybody sees
It's these simple kinds of services that are looked upon as a meritous act and stay with us forever...

This quote really stuck out to me today when I was compiling a few quotations for the devotional at uni...

"Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. " -Martin Luther King, Jr.

Make today something different... try and fill your day with joy and say hi to those that you dont normally talk to!
Try and be of service to the wonderful world we live in (ok now im starting to sound like mother teresa... great lady that one!)

And here is another quote to finish off... hope you all have a great day! =)

"Man’s merit lieth in service and virtue and not in the pageantry of wealth and riches. "
-Baha'i Faith

EGGED ON!

2006-08-18T07:37:00.000+10:00

Wasn't too pleased this morning when i approached my car, patiently waiting outside for me to start it up and go for a ride...

The poor thing had been EGGED last night! That didn't go down too well when i saw it...

Even I wouldn't do such a thing!

I remember one haloween...i went trick or treating with a friend and one house didnt have anything to give us so the guy gave us eggs and said "off you go girls, go egg peoples houses...but just dont egg mine"

I felt soo bad that I didnt egg anyone's house all the way home.
You know what i did with the eggs the next day? I COOKED THEM!
Yep that's right!

I think its not nice to egg peoples things and whoever egged my poor little car (that has just been repaired)... should feel extrememly guilty! It was on the drivers side as well! GOSH!

The board is open to tell the truth...

Please tell me if YOU are the PUNK that egged my car...and appologise!

Have you been egged on before?

Scrambles of Love,

Does this face look familiar to you? Well if you’re a member of the new hip craze “myspace.com” then this would have been your first ever make you feel good friend.

This young gentlemen created what would be one of the most widespread internet versioned religions!

“ill add you to my myspace” is what rings in the back of my ears soo regularly as people start to aquaint themselves with one another.

As my younger sister says “Tay I don’t know why your obsessed with it…its like online gossip…people know about eachothers lives”

I also would agree to someone saying that it wastes hours of your time as you explore other random peoples lives and what they like to say and do in their free time.

Why people? Ok yeah Noora and I are both culprits of this cyber disease, but its just spreading soo fast its not even FUNNY ANYMORE!

We were peer pressured and conned into the swirl…as we continue to watch the sun set our days in the window…procrastinating on myspace!

In conclusion, Tom nobody likes you and your going to be a loner one day as people continue to visit our blog instead of your ‘hip hop’ creation!

And that’s the way the cookie crumbles!
