Clearly, it is dominated by two teams from La Liga and this shows that most of the great players are in the La Liga. Lionel Messi is the frontrunner for the award after winning the Ballon d'Or and his Barca team mate , Xavi Hernandez is a close second

Yup! Finally, we men have proof now (and a good documented reason) whenever we men are caught ogling or staring or mezmerised by a woman's chest or buxom or breasts or...hehehe...I'm just getting a wee bit excited now.
A German reseach that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (yup, this journal really does exist) showed that men who stare or ogle or watch with fascination (there I go again getting excited..hahaha) at woman's breasts for at least 10 minutes a day is equivalent to a 30 minute gym workout. Damn! I always knew there was a better way to get fit rather than going to the gym, but on the other hand, the gym is the place to be , if you know what I mean..hehehe (again, excuse me..excitement = me).
This kid will have a long life. He is starting young. Lucky boy.
The research team had spent 5 years doing research on 200 men. Results showed that men staring at women's breasts have lower blood pressure, suffer less cardiovascular diseases and slower heart rate. The head researcher, Dr. Karen Weatherby (a lady some more!) says that sexual desire ensured better blood circulation and led to better health.
I have a few questions for this Dr. Weatherby. They are as follows:
Why wasn't I inform about this research? I would've gladly be one of the 200 participants. I even pay you to get in.
Do the breasts need to be covered or not covered? In any ways, I am happy.
Does the size of the boobs influence how long or longer your lifespan will be? I need to know this. Its a matter of life or death damnit!
So, I need to this everyday? (Refer to the picture below)
I need to do this 30-minutes a day? I'll do it another 30 if it helps me live longer
(no boobs were harmed during the posting of this article)
Terdapat satu spesis manusia yang selalunya terdiri di kalangan kaum Hawa (selalunya kakak-kakak atau makcik-makcik yang dah berumahtangga) yang suka menyebarkan cerita-cerita atau mitos-mitos tentang alam perkahwinan yang tidak benar kepada perempuan yang nak jejak alam perkahwinan.
Di antara mitos-mitos ini ialah:
"malam pertama" @ (first night) alam perkahwinan adalah menyakitkan dan berdarah teruk bagi perempuan dan selalunya akan lebih sakit selepas itu.
kalau nak beranak biarlah hospital swasta sebab layanan hospital kerajaan (atau government) tidak lah bagus.
kalau nak anak berkulit cerah & gebu, minumlah soya banyak-banyak semasa mengandung,
pilihlah lelaki yang kaya raya & berpangkat tinggi, hidup pasti senang-lenang.
jangan biar suami atau bakal lelaki kelihatan menarik, biarlah gemuk dan hodoh sebab nanti perempuan lain terpikat. Tak nak bermadu atau di tinggalkan untuk perempuan lain.
Terdapat berberapa lagi mitos atau pemikiran fantasi golongan ini yang tak sempat saya letakkan di sini sebab saya kekadang rasa golongan ini patut di maki hamun sahaja di hadapan khalayak ramai. Mereka ini hanya ingin menjadikan perkara-perkara di atas sensasi & ingin menunjukkan mereka lebih berpengalaman tetapi yang ternyatanya mereka hanya menyukarkan permulaan hidup berumahtangga bagi wanita-wanita muda & indirectly pada suami-suami muda juga.
Di sini saya ingin memberi beberapa pernyataan balas atau counter remarks pada mitos sebaran kaum pendek akal yang saya letak di atas:
"malam pertama" atau "first night" pada awalnya sedikit pedih tetapi bukan utk selama2nya. selepas si suami dapat "masuk" dan dapat "rentak", ia satu perkara yang indah dan nikmat utk pasangan pengantin baru. Tak percaya? Tanya lah isteri saya.
senyuman menceritakan segalanya..kepuasan
hospital swasta & hospital kerajaan sama sahaja layanannya. Bezanya hospital swasta lebih mahal dan cekik darah. Saya berpengalaman di mana saya dan isteri terpaksa menunggu selama 4 jam (9.30 pagi hingga 1.30 petang) utk check up monthly kehamilan isteri saya. Lepas tu kena charge ratusan ringgit. What the fu*k??!! Hospital kerajaan mungkin lebih cepat & charge medical bill hanya separuh, maybe sesuku dari hospital swasta.
Hospital kerajaan pun bagus ..kebanyakkannya lebih bagus dari swasta
no offense to my dark skin readers, minumlah bertong-tong susu soya pun, kalau Tuhan nak bagi anak berkulit gelap, berkulit gelaplah dia.
Minum soya boleh jadikan anak berkulit cerah?? Nonesense!!!
lelaki kaya & berpangkat tinggi tak semestinya menjanjikan kebahagiaan. Di sini, yang penting ialah pegangan agama dan budi bahasa si lelaki. Status kewangan juga memang penting. Biarlah ada kerja tetap dan stabil serta berkemampuan. Itu sudah cukup.
kalau biar lelaki gemuk dan hodoh, nanti mugnkin cepat mati atau nanti si isteri sendiri tak selera utk sex. Kalau si suami berstamina dan handsome (kemas & segak), hubungan suami isteri mesti lagi best.
Itu adalah counter remarks saya pada mitos-mitos sebaran si kaum kakak-kakak dan makcik-makcik yang takde kerja lain selain dari mejadikan perkara-perkara kecil ini sensasi dan hanya ingin menjadikan hidup mereka lebih interesting padahal poyo dan hampeh.
Insaflah wahai kakak2 & makcik2. Carilah kerja lain selain dari memenuhkan kepala bakal si isteri dgn perkara2 yang tak berguna. Cuba bantu dan beri nasihat seperi hormatilah, taat & patuh pada suami yang bertanggungjawab & baik . Layanilah suami dengan baik kerana insya'Allah layanan yang sama akan di terima semula oleh si isteri.
P/S: Posting entry ini di letakkan selepas terpaksa menunggu selama 4 jam di hospital swasta dan di kenakan bill pregnancy check yang beratusan ringgit.
The latest movie from the Twilight series, New Moon came out last week. So far I have successfully avoided from being dragged by the missus to see this potentially 2 hours waste of my life on earth. She already wasted almost 3 hours of it by making me watch Babylon A.D. Babylon what?? Yes, exactly. The main attraction for her to watch that "3 hours that I wont ever get back" movie was the bald guy that was also in The Fast and The Furious.
3 hour snooze-fest movie
The bald guy from The Fast & The Furious
My friends especially the guys are totally against this movie. Even my boss calls it a freaking gay movie. Back to my friends. Some of my comrades have fallen due to being enticed by their better halves. There is no way a guy with an ounce of self respect, a pair of cahonas and the right set of brain matter in between his two ears would ever voluntarily watch a movie showing two guys being played by a pale skin girl.
I know the attraction or pull of the New Moon movie to the females but I dont get it when some guys can say "its an interesting movie" or "damn good movie". WTF?!!. Come on guys. Just admit it. You were duped & seduced to watch this movie by your gfs or wife. End of story. Your dignity and right to continue to exist in the male world is still safe. Well, with me anyways.
One of the NATS (visit www.nakatautaksaje.blogspot.com) brothers, Bozord put up a spoof poster proclaiming the idiocy of this movie. To me, the spoof poster just says it all.
Argentina and Barcelona superstar was awarded the Ballon d'Or for 2009 taking over from last year's winner Portuguese ace Cristiano Ronaldo. He won 473 of the 480 of the votes to win the award from France Football Magazine. The award is done through voting among the world's top football journalists.
He has taken up all top 3 places since debuted at No 3 in 2007, 2nd in 2008 and now being voted the best player in Europe. He mentioned that this was an honour and then wishes that the Albiceste (Argentina National team) plays the similar style as the Blaugrana (Barca) and that Argentina legend and current coach, Diego Armando Maradona is his only football idol.
2008 Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo
Second place was won by Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi's Barcelona teammate, Xavi Hernandes took third.
Messi is the favourite to win the FIFA's World Player of The Year award but he is not in the running for NATS Players' Choice Best Player of The Year award. The NATS award is the most prestigious award that can be won by any footballer.
The NATS Players' Choice Best Player of The Year award is awarded through voting among NATS members and they cannot vote for themselves. That is why it the second most prestigious award after the World Cup.
Apa itu NATS? NATS adalah singkatan utk Nak Atau Tak Saje, iaitu satu kumpulan kawan2 & rakan yang asalnya di tubuhkan oleh kawan2 lama yang dahulunya bersekolah menengah bersama2 di Shah Alam Seksyen 2. Blog NATS beralamat www.nakatautaksaje.blogspot.com.
Bermula dengan permainan futal pada setiap hari ahad selama dua jam, kumpulan ini juga melakukan aktiviti seperti menyambut hari jadi ahli2nya, perkelahan, menyambut kelahiran, board games dan apa sahaja yang dapat mengekalkan keakraban ahli2 nya dan insya'Allah kekal hingga ke anak cucu (macam marriage pulak). Semua kawan2 lelaki & perempuan ibarat adik-beradik. Pertengkaran, gelak tawa dan kesedihan di kongsi bersama.

NATS di tubuhkan untuk meceriakan keadaan, kekalkan & rapatkan persahabatan. Bak kata Zul, untuk mengekalkan ke"happening"an ahli2 NATS.
Saya sebagai salah seorang ahli AJK NATS berharap NATS dapat di majukan dengan lebih kuat teguh dan lebih seronok.

A Wayne Rooney hat-trick and a peach of a free kick from Giggsy capped off a solid performance by Manchester United in their chase to close the gap with Chelsea. Portsmouth scored their goal from the penalty spot from Kevin Prince Boateng after a dodgy decision by the linesman. United won the match 4 - 1 on Avram Grant's 1st game in charge at Fratton Park.
Giggsy celebrating his 100th EPL goal and Utd's 4th with hattrick hero Wazza
Giggsy was the man of the match in my eyes as he constantly terrorised the Pompey defence and it was a fitting birthday present for the United legend who will celebrate his 36th birthday today.
Bullard's Celebration of The Season

Also, the celebration from Jimmy Bullard was the best goal celebration by far this season. He mocked the telling off done by his manager at Hull, Phil Brown at the same fixture last year.

Thank you Innit @ Nuffnang. Thank you too to the readers and visitors to my posting that made it a Top 10 at Innit. I did not know that a simple posting would put me into the Top 10.
Tune Talk, the newest prepaid mobile service with the lowest rates (22 sen per minute calls & 5 sen per sms to all networks) last week reached its 200,000th subscriber since its launch on 19th August 2009. We had a party to celebrate this at Souled Out Restaurant & Bar at Desa Sri Hartamas.
Souled Out Restaurant & Bar at Desa Sri Hartamas
Jason Lo, our CEO at Tune Talk presented the lucky 100,000th & 200,000th subscriber with prizes and then had a press conference to mark this occassion. J mentioned that we are targeting to achieve our 400,00th sub by year end.

Prize presentation to the lucky winners....congrats!
I did not stay long after the press oncference and prize giving as I had to fetch my very pregnant wife from work. But I did get to have some of the food and mingled with some guest before making my way. Here are some pictures from the event.
Now I know who not to go against if there is a limbo rock contest..hehe....
Does look a little bit like Nas and acting like him, dont you think?
"Bo, there are some nice chicks here, *grin*", says Ed.
I was busy reading postings in Innit@Nuffnang and then wondered whether there are other sites similar to Innit. So, I started googling under the search blog traffic sites and came across a few sites. Some of them dont really promote your postings like Nuffnang but rather promote your blog in exchange you reading other members blogs. Fair enough.
Some of the popular traffic exchange sites that I have found are:
I am still experimenting on seeing how these sites would help me make my site reach more people. I will also admit by increasing the traffic to my site would directly increase the clicks of my blog.
But whatever it is, the passion to write and tell my story is the main focus of Bo is a Nerd. I just need to keep that in me and will be safe.
Is it true that credit cards are evil? They can be the devil when it is used wrongly and recklessly. I do agree that extended credit should not be granted to all people. It's something like not giving an alcoholic another drink when they are drunk. When more alcohol is given, more damage and harm will be done.That is the same with people with reckless spending habits.
However, when credit cards are used in the right way, it can be a big help and also brings some other benefits. Before I share with you how I use my credit cards, I'll give a short summary on the pros & cons of owning creadit cards.
Pros:
Helps to build your credit rating and credit history
It is easier for you to apply for a loan when you have a good credit history. The key word here is "good". The bad or good of your credit history is how you meet your bills, whether its on time, full payment or late payments or not even bothering to pay them at all. Banks & financial institutions would check this criteria whenever you try to apply for a loan.
Convenience During Emergencies (Buying the latest Jimmy Choo's doesn't count as an emergency)
Lets just say your car is low on petrol but you only have a couple of Ringgits, some lint, a few business cards and your credit card in your wallet. And added bonus to this combo is that there is no ATM machine in site. This is where the credit card is handy. Its also handy in terms of not needing to lug around a whole twad of cash and making you a target for potential thieves.
Online Purchasing
The internet has changed the whole way of shopping and payments. Take me for an example. I am usually lame with payments for my ACCA exam entry fees. If I pay through telegraphic transfer or bank draft, it may take a couple of days. So, I pay online using my trusty credit card. Some sellers also offer rebates, discounts or other money saving offers when you purchase online.
Flight tickets and utlity bills are some other items that credit cards are frequently used for.
Even can help you get some extra cash
Yup. It can make you earn back some money. This one I will tell you more in a later posting that I will do "How I Use My Credit Cards".
Rewards and Cash Rebates
Some credit cards attach themselves to certain companies and their products. For example, I have a credit card that I took up just to take advantage of instant cash rebates given on petrol and it also has rebates for grocery shopping at the 3 big hyper-markets in Malaysia. That makes me happy.
Cons:
Wreck Your Credit History & Credit Ratings
In the top part, I mentioned that it can help you in terms of obtaining a loan etc. But if it used wrongly, it can ruin your whole credit ratings. It can come to a point that the mention of your name automatically denies you a loan. That would really stink.
Being Burdened by A Financial Obligation
It is fine when you get paid (through salary) and then you would be able to pay your credit card bills. But what if you get laid off from your job and with no other means of income. This would put you in deep shit. You would be blacklisted by the banks and financial institutions.
Ruins Your Life and Effects Others
When credit cards are misused, people will feel pressured with the debt that is not hanging around their necks. The mounting credit card debts might make some people to turn to illegal financial helps such as loan sharks or Ah Long. Loan sharks can provide you with the money needed but the interest that they set for the "assistance" that they're providing is way more than interest charged by banks.
These loan sharks would not stop at nothing to get their money back. They will start to terrorise your family, friends and even those people that just know you by name.
There you go. Before you decide to fill in and send in that credit card application form, make sure what it is for and determine whether you are reasonable enough to own one.
Let me know your views on this. Is having a credit card evil?
