After I had my Ipod, I just find myself asking my husband more often to download for me free MP3 music over the net. He has also been busy converting my hard-to-find music collection from CD to MP3 format while working on my laptop. That’s why we are considering to add more computer memory so that I can still work faster on my computer.
I like music and movies but I tend to be selective when watching musicals. To be blunt about it, I did not enjoy Moulin Rouge nor Mama Mia (but I am a great admirer of the multi-talented Meryl Streep), I skipped Casino (although my sister said it’s worth a try) and I’ve been shying away from le operas.
However, I had fun watching De-Lovely (Love and Life of Cole Porter) and I couldn’t believe I watched it from beginning to end despite the fact that I’m not a fan of Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd.
I think what made it interesting for me is that the movie showed beautiful renditions of several Cole Porter songs which are my personal favorites like So In Love, Everytime We Say Goodbye, Night and Day and In the Still of the Night. Bonus for me would be the special appearances by my favorite singers such as Diana Krall and Natalie Cole.
Here are the songs and performers as featured in the movie (combining these big names into one soundtrack is such a rare occasion):

My sister won a Kodak EasyShare V803 digital camera as a price in a raffle draw in her office’s event. But since she already had one she gave it to me instead. Although my husband wanted a digital SLR he was also happy to have a new camera to use.A professor in Finance once said to me that there are three (3) types of attitudes about risk. One is a risk taker. This is the type of person who plunges into futures trading which is the most volatile type of investment, for example, and certainly not for the faint hearted. The second type is the risk averse or those who avoid surprises and prefer predictable outcomes. The third type is a mixture of both. This refers to a person who takes calculated risk. From a business standpoint, the higher the risk, the higher the return. So, which one are you and how much risk can you take?
