It just came across my mind that this August marks the 5th anniversary of blissfulelsa.com. Before that I hadn’t realized those five years went by so fast. It feels like it wasn’t that long ago that I put my first self-made hand-coded website online. (more…)
In spite of that word’s bad connotation, we are all elitists. The simple act of having preferences is a manifestation of elitism.
It must not be forgotten that one’s personal preferences are not better that someone else’s. They are only different.
At the moment, I must admit to being uneasy about the fact that I am not where I would like to be, as far as plans are concerned. Some elements of my other career did not exactly go as I had originally thought. All of this somewhat makes me feel down, even though my summer is not going to be worse than the summer I had planned this spring. (more…)
Most of the time, wealth is measured by the amount of material goods possessed. I wonder if it will remain the case in the future.
An old article I reread recently said “While technology will make everything simpler, simplicity won’t exist anymore”. (more…)
Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive and I will tell you his entire philosophy of life. Show me the woman he sleeps with and I will tell you his valuation of himself. – Ayn Rand
I remember a particular day at work. It was an ordinary day: I went to the office and started working on various projects that I needed to complete. All of a sudden, things stopped. The company’s computer network shut down entirely, we were told, so all of our offices had the same problem. The whole company was paralyzed. (more…)
Anybody who has ever been a companion for some time becomes so used to watching over her shoulder and reading between the lines that it becomes second nature. Sometimes it’s unavoidable to bring this mindset to situations which have nothing to do with companionship. (more…)
It is entirely wrong to assume that the other ladies who offer companionship services are in direct competition with me. I was once told that we are like artists: we all have unique features. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Of course, some will disagree with that. Those people are generally unable of developing their own talents, so they think they will be in a better position if they put down others. The resulting impression they get of their “opponents” being below them is an illusion. It doesn’t mean their personal situation has improved.
True competition is about surpassing yourself, and yourself only.
After watching the movie “Call me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss”, I understood the feminists who complain that this profession is overglamorized in the media (although they complain for the wrong reasons). A good part of the film focuses on the ladies who are shopping until they drop, meet gentlemen from upscale neighbourhoods, travel in luxury cars, fly around the world in private jets and wait for calls in a private swimming pool. Very little is shown about the workings of this industry: how to prepare for an appointment, what qualities are needed to become successful, how to stay safe and avoid unpleasant situations. (more…)
Love fades, but friendship lasts forever…
I first heard those words when I was in high school, but it was only recently that they came back to my mind. When I have a certain person on my mind, I can only think that whoever came up with them had an abundance of wisdom.
