But even girls and women who do not meet diagnostic criteria for either an eating disorder or BDD often have varying degrees of body insecurity and negative self image. Mass culture exerts so much pressure on women to look and behave in certain ways that body dissatisfaction becomes ingrained in our very psyches. It’s difficult if impossible to not absorb the relentless message that if only we use this makeup, reshape that body part, buy those clothes or lose weight that we too can achieve that unspoken promise of beauty and acceptance.

From here (via gauntlet)

Yeah…I know all about this. People like cracking jokes about women who don’t meet their definition of beauty. And people includes both men and women. Sometimes I feel ashamed of myself- for laughing at other women who are fat, too thin, too short, too tall, too…whatever.

Bonds Prices Dip Further...

…after news of th US Treasury Dept. bailing out the GSEs hit the market. Bond prices fall…yields rise! Thankfully, I didn’t lock in any money in CDs, else I would have lost this favorable interest rate. But what does this indicate about consumer sentiments? That they have no faith in US-govt-sponsored entities either. Bonds and stocks are interlinked and less faith in bonds might mean anything for the capital market- that investors will put money in stocks or move away. After taking into account the current market sentiments, I feel that the market’s gonna dip further this Monday. Good time to buy some more stocks…while September is still here.

Waiting for Monday

For the first time in my life, I’m waiting for Monday morning. Why? Because I wanna see the stock market! I invested in another oil company today and I’m hoping to rake in some moolah when crude oil falls to $85-90/barrel. I also wanna buy another tech stock next Monday, provided it’s in my price range.

And, for the first time in the last couple of months, I don’t feel like going to a pub on a Friday night. And that IS an achievement. :-)

What are you doing at 10:15 on Saturday evening?

This site encourages you to upload photos of what you are doing at 10:15 every Saturday night. The project connects people from all over the globe and is a really interesting idea… people are doing strange things at that time of night..!

www.1015saturdaynight.com

I am going to try to do this tomorrow.  The pictures are so interesting. People are doing very random things on a Saturday night.

I’m not sure if I’ll do this, but it’s an innovative idea for sure.

Get a job or get pregnant.

I’ll buy that. I’m not a big fan of this logo. :| Even though I like Chrome as a browser (so far).

Nothing ever seems right at my end. TGIF!

Two Major Accomplishments

  1. Finally decided that I’ll buy the new 3G iPhone, because it’s going to cost me the same every month even if I buy a Blackberry with a data plan. I’m getting around $10 off every month, thanks to my company discount. :-) So, I guess, I’ll buy it. Still need to decide if I should buy 8 GB or 16 GB. I don’t keep too many songs/movies. Neither do I plan to download too many apps. Then again, it’s only $100 more for 8GB worth of extra storage…

  2. For the first time in my life, I’ve bought some stocks using my own money! Yay!

I love nowdothis.com. Just discovered it today, when I was at jakoblodwick.com.

Edit: Unfortunately, it might still not work on me.

My boyfriend keep sending me these cartoons that he thinks describe me. I have to admit this one hits the nail on the head. 

Need to show this to my boyfriend :| Probably he’ll get a clue.

Sound advice (via) indeed. Also sound advice: refrain from nailing underage girls altogether.

This must be Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays.

Actually, I do get a hang of Thursdays- I start getting ready for Friday. ;)
