2011 Year Of The Rabbit... my year...

Year Of The Rabbit

1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999


Personality
Occupying the 4th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Rabbit symbolizes such character traits as creativity, compassion, and sensitivity. Rabbits are friendly, outgoing and prefer the company of others. They also prefer to avoid conflict. In confrontational situations, Rabbits approach calmly and with consideration for the other party. Rabbits believe strongly in friends and family and lacking such bonds can lead to emotional issues.

Their serene nature keeps Rabbits from becoming visibly upset. Because they’re serene animals, Rabbits are easily taken advantage of. Their sensitive nature makes them shy away from aggressive or competitive situations. They’re overall conservative and not interested in taking risks.

Classy, sophisticated, expressive, well-mannered and stylish, those born under the Sign of the Rabbit enjoy leaning about cultural issues and learning about people from other countries. Rabbits are most comfortable being home, and their homes are always neat and organized. Home is also where Rabbits prefer to entertain. Rabbits are conservative in their decorating tastes.

Rabbits should work at building more self-confidence and self-worth so they can feel more secure. The desire for remaining in safe, comfortable environments keeps Rabbits from taking risks which sometimes causes them to miss out on good opportunities.HealthEven though Rabbits don’t usually get visibly upset or stressed, they do tend to keep these feelings inside. When they don’t express these feelings, such feeling can cause Rabbits to become ill. Rabbits could benefit from more everyday activity which would reduce their stress levels and better their health.RelationshipsRabbits are very sexual, but tend to give more of themselves than they should. This can lead to unrealistic expectations and unhealthy situations. Rabbits need partners who won’t take advantage of their giving nature. Such pairings will be strong.

Career
Rabbits are articulate and good communicators which is why friends and acquaintances seek out their advice. It’s also why Rabbits make excellent diplomats and politicians. Other good careers for Rabbits include: writer, publisher, actor, fashion designer, therapist, doctor, administrator, public relations, and teacher.MY ELEMENT:
Fire Rabbits – Years 1927 and 1987
Fire adds spark to the Rabbit’s personality and all that Fire Rabbits do. Fire compels Rabbits to seek new adventures. Prone to tantrums, Fire Rabbits prefer to avoid conflict.

my contact lenses and tips on Contact Lenses

i started using contact lens since college... i use them on special occasions and when I'm at work.. so here are my (for now) 4 contact lenses...

here are the pics... sorry if my eye bags are quite noticeable.. i have no time to edit these pics.. hehehe..

SUPER SIZE NUDY BROWN
SASSY 3TONE GREEN

GOSSIP GRAY

BIG CANDY BLUE
oooh.. goodbye FRESH GRAY... I'll stop using it.. These lenses are only good for 1 year.. =))

anyway, if you want to know where I bought these lenses, just email me at kaziekc@gmail.com


TIPS ON CONTACT LENSES

* Never lend to or swap your contact lenses with another person. That's a NO NO!

* Put your contact lenses on before applying makeup.

* Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water followed by a disinfectant like rubbing alcohol before touching your contact lens to minimize contamination with bacteria and fungi.

* Avoid Sleeping in Contact Lenses. Wearing contact lenses overnight have a much higher frequency of getting eye infections. That - we should avoid.

* Pay attention to the cleanliness of the contact lens case.

* Never reuse contact lens solution. Discard after every use.

* Dispose contact lenses based on the approved duration of use of your contact lens. When in doubt, get new ones.

* If there is persistent eye redness, pain, blurring of vision, discharge, itching or discomfort, remove the contact lens immediately.

* Always keep Lubricating Drops with you at all times.


so.. there you are! Good luck guyz!
