GREEN GRAMMAR

2008-03-12T18:42:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Ok, so it's been like 1 month?! That's not right is it? Wow, time flies (cliche)...

I was just looking at my blog page and I realised it's a little too green... hmmmm, I suppose it looks alright - I wonder how to change it a little. The most annoying thing I noticed though, was my horrible GRAMMAR! I used to be able to write so beautifully! It all went downhill I tell you. I don't suppose I could restart my blog page? Hello, blog-page keepers, can I?

Anyway, just in case they don't hear me, I shall will be correcting my grammar from my previous entry right now. So this is how it shall happen - I will number the sentences which had bad grammar in them and I will put - in chronological order - the alphabet denotation of the corrected sentence (if I am able to, I shall change the text colour of the correction) right below the incorrect sentence. Following me so far? Hahahaha, ok you must be thinking that this is so pointless, right? On second thought it can be quite educational for all you folks reading... I mean, this could possibly help to motivate you to brush up on your faltering language skills, ya? Let's begin...

1st Paragraph
1) I thought that blogging were for people who needed attention or had nothing better to do.
a) I thought that blogging was for people who needed attention or had nothing better to do.

2) Now look what the cat dragged in...
b) Now look at what the cat dragged in...

6th Paragraph
3) My office is on the 12th floor, therefore you can imagine the number of floors I need to stop just to get out of the lift!
c) My office is on the 12th floor, therefore you can imagine the number of floors I need to stop on just to get out of the lift!

7th Paragraph
4) It has been 2 weeks since I got last squashed up in the lift.
d) It has been 2 weeks since I last got squashed in the lift

5) Now, everytime I am at my lobby, the hordes of people who used to squash me, continued to squash each other while I wait happily for the next lift to come...
e) Now, everytime I am at my lobby, the hordes of people who used to squash me, continue to squash each other while I wait happily for the next lift to come...

I feel so much better now... call it OCD, call it an accomplishment, call it anything you want. -Heaves a sigh of relief- Hahahaha the drama continues...

Well people, this is what I have for now. I am probably going to post part 2 of sharing the secret a little later on today. Talk soon!

Sharing The Secret (Part 1)

2008-02-13T21:01:00.000-08:00

Hello Reader,

I must warn you that this is my first time blogging. I have to admit that I always thought blogging was a serious waste of time for some reason. I thought that blogging were for people who needed attention or had nothing better to do. Now look what the cat dragged in...

This is how I started blogging... My friend Candice was baking some cookies for all of us as a valentine's day gift. So we were on msn and she told me to check out some pictures she took of her cookies! Can you believe it? Well, that's Candice.

Anyhow, I saw that she had some important things to say on the page... to her, baking those cookies were liberating and a symbol of her wonderful friendship to her sometimes not so wonderful friends... You know who you are... So I figured; this is a wondeful way to tell people what I really want them to know...

So back to the topic of the day - I was going through a bad patch just about a month ago and my best friend - Sigeeta - got me this book... THE SECRET by Rhonda Bryne.

People! This book changed everything... You must buy it and read it... I promise you that your life will change. Let me share a few things that happened since I read the book. Small they may seem but extraordinary to me...

You know how it is when you're at the office lobby at 8:55 am and everyone's struggling to get into the lift? Well, well, well, let me just say that i absolutely hate that. HATE IT! First and foremost, you're squashed in the lift with God knows how many people and all these people are going to different floors. My office is on the 12th floor, therefore you can imagine the number of floors I need to stop just to get out of the lift! ARGGH!

Then I read the book one evening and it taught me something so powerful. If you want something to happen for you... ask for it, believe it and then recieve it! So simple, right? So that's just what I did.. I asked for a smooth journey up the lift every morning to my office and I believed that I will get it... guess what, I got it! It has been 2 weeks since I got last squashed up in the lift. Now, everytime I am at my lobby, the hordes of people who used to squash me, continued to squash each other while I wait happily for the next lift to come... and it only takes 20 seconds at most to show up - which, in my office building, is 1 point short of a miracle...

There you have it. Felicia's legendary 1st blog page. Keep on reading please and comment if you can.

Talk soon!
