A DOZE OF TWINKLETOE

FOSTER ME UP
by chuck

Please kindly share with us what your blog is all about

My memoir, which I’m currently writing … about being a ward of the state as a teenager. In general, I post about what’s happening to me now, what happened to me then and recently started posting excerpts as well. I’ll soon add more on book reviews, other recommended memoirs/reading, etc. BUT. Must. Make. It. Fun. So, I throw in as much humor as possible, a dash here and there about my poochie, ‘cause she’s perfect (Chinese Shar-pei) and a pinch about my family too so as to get people from all over the world to fall in love with me. What. I can’t help it. I am what I am.

My blog is basically about my life. It’s my writing space. I consider my blog as the sanctuary of my thoughts; it’s my diary



Your blog is truly impressive and unique....Are you following a certain format or concept for it?

Ahhh, what a nice thing to say, Blue *smoochies* I had Nap Warden of NW Designs redesign it to place the emphasis on my memoir – the rest is just plain fun. I want people to laugh (and maybe cry too when I share some of the sad times in my life, that is). My way of reeling people in *wink* Sorta maybe “playing on people’s emotions,” if ya know what I mean.

I don’t think I follow any certain format or concept in my blog. When it comes to posting, I just write what’s on my mind freely and expressively. Some readers may find my post interesting and some may find it pointless. When it comes to my blog’s design, I don’t follow any theme at all. I change my blog’s layout when my mood strikes me. If you noticed, I frequently change the layout, it’s because as much as possible I want the design of my blog to be unique and to be different from others; I want my blog to be a reflection of me; the artistic side of me.


How did you start blogging? What factor or thing attracted you in blogging?



My brother mentioned it, and I didn’t know what it was *giggling* After doing research for my book proposal, I learned about the importance of building a platform and thereby landed myself a blog. In other words, I started it to get my name out there and to get readers interested in who I am and what I have to say so that when my book is finally published (in the year 2020), they’ll want to share my story with me and subsequently spread the word.

I have always loved writing but I hate the idea of owning a diary. Then one day I started reading other people’s blog and I got fascinated by it. Reading and commenting on others blogs stimulated the writer in me. I got inspired by it that I created my own blog.


I know how attractive all your posts are. Are there any of them you consider the hottest or your most favorite and why?

My favorites include all those labeled Memoir in the Works and Humor. I believe if I’m crying or laughing, then others will too.

I reckon my post “Being Asian Here” is the one I consider my favorite. That post was an eye opener to me. I wrote that post so that others will know what I’ve experienced being an Asian here. Fortunately, that post did receive quite a few comments of which I didn’t expect


Do you believe that "everyone’s blog is unique on its own special way"? Please support your answer.

Of course! We all have individuality to express – that’s the reason for having a blog: to spread the love in rare and distinctive ways

Nobody is born equal, alike or the same. We all are different in every ways, our own ways. We all are unique in our own special ways. Every blogger has his/her own style may it be in the post, the content or even the design. The blog header itself creates a uniqueness in a blog, even the title



Are you prior to gain community member? if yes what principle you are much prefer to use "join my community and ill join yours" or join a community if and only you found it interesting or something you can relate to"?

The world is a melting pot of all different types of people. I am all for joining as many communities as I can, so as to learn about others and find a common ground. I would hope others feel the same way, but if they don’t, that’s acceptable too.


When I started blogging I was very hot when it comes to joining communities. I thought the more communities I join the more readers I’ll gain but I was mistaken. I realized that others don’t really return the favor by joining my community too. I actually follow two principles: “join my community and I’ll join yours” and “join a community if and only you found it interesting or something you can relate to”


Any last words for our month theme "unique is hot"?

Live, love, laugh as if every day is your last

First and foremost, thanks a zillion blue for this opportunity. It feels great! Hihi. Honestly, I really really appreciate you finding my blog an interesting and unique one. I didn’t expect that I’ll be the IBOTM. To all, thanks for visiting my humble blog and thanks for being my friend. I hope that you all enjoyed every second of your visit in my blog. I’m currently on a vacation and is always on the go so updating my blog is the last thing I can do now. To all, please don’t be shocked or surprised if my blog ‘s last entry is weeks ago. I’m missing the blogsphere terribly already. I promise to visit you all when I get back. I do have a lot of stories to share. :] Once again, a heartfelt thanks to you blue and to all bloggers. Remember guys, “being unique is hot”. I wanna share to you this quote by Melissa Etheridge “Don't let anyone tell you that you have to be a certain way. Be unique. Be what you feel.”

wow thank you so much twinks ans chuck your blogs are certified

please do take this award as an appreciation

so long my fello readers for the next IBOTM

ENTERTAINMENT ZONE PORTION

hello guys here we are once again in my entertainment zone

last month we featured TOP FIVE MOST RENOWN ANIMAL PROTAGONIST IN A CERTAIN MOVIE this time lets see whose those hottest actresses get the highest talent fees

lets start listing

TOP FIVE HIGHEST PAID HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES

TOP 5 HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS

Renee Zellweger

( $10 million-$15 million )

With paydays of $15 million apiece for 2004’s “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” and 2005’s “Cinderella Man,” the buzz surrounding Zellweger was helped this year with the success of Paramount/DreamWorks Animation’s “Bee Movie.” Next, she will appear alongside George Clooney in Universal’s football-centric romantic comedy “Leatherheads” (the sports movie thing worked before for Zellweger), followed by Paramount’s thriller “Case 39.”

TOP 4 HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS

Nicole Kidman

( $10 million-$15 million )

Oscar’s golden girl hit a rough patch this year with Warner Bros.’ “Invasion” — Kidman’s largest check ever, cashing in at $15 million-$16 million — underperforming at the boxoffice, while Noah Baumbach’s “Margot at the Wedding,” from Paramount Vantage, failed to awe audiences. Kidman will look to put an end to the downward spiral with the Dec. 7 release of New Line’s “The Golden Compass,” which reteams her with Daniel Craig. Looking ahead, Kidman could return to Oscar’s podium sooner than she thought when she joins director Baz Luhrmann again for Bazmark Films’ pre-World War II drama “Australia” and later stars opposite Ralph Fiennes in MGM’s postwar romantic drama “The Reader.”

TOP 3 HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS

Cameron Diaz

($15+ million )

Diaz might have cashed in on her biggest payday to date this year courtesy of franchise cash cow “Shrek the Third,” which brought her more than $30 million. And while a paycheck like that could weigh down any girl’s handbag, it probably didn’t break the bank for the studio, which has taken in almost $800 million in worldwide boxoffice grosses from the third “Shrek” installment. Diaz will join the franchise for a fourth outing in 2010. In the near future, she will continue to tickle audiences’ funny bones with Fox’s “What Happens in Vegas … ,” co-starring Ashton Kutcher, and she will take a stab at the horror genre in the Weinstein Co.’s “The Box.”

TOP 2 HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS

Angelina Jolie

($15 million-$20 million)

While 2005’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” was a boxoffice smash and payday success for Jolie, her reteaming with partner Brad Pitt proved not so prosperous at the boxoffice this year with the Pitt-produced “A Mighty Heart,” from Paramount Vantage. But her pull was reconfirmed as she lent her voice to Paramount’s 3-D take on the epic poem “Beowulf,” which netted Jolie around $8 million for five weeks of work and opened No. 1 at the boxoffice on its opening weekend. On deck, Jolie will return to animation with DreamWorks’ “Kung Fu Panda,” which pairs Jolie with an all-star cast on her first family-oriented film since 2004’s “Shark Tale.” Jolie will also appear in Universal’s upcoming “Wanted,” based on Mark Miller’s graphic novel with Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy, and Universal’s mystery “The Changeling,” with John Malkovich

THE HIGHEST PAID HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS

Reese Witherspoon

($15 million-$20 million)

America’s sweetheart is returning to her romantic comedy — and boxoffice green — roots with the slated Christmas 2008 release of New Line’s “Four Christmases,” which Witherspoon is also producing. Her upcoming schedule remains active with the horror flick “Our Family Trouble,” produced by her own Type A Films, but the hardworking actress and producer recently took a hit with the flop of New Line’s “Rendition,” which received more action from its behind-the-scenes romance rumors than at the boxoffice.

TOP FIVE PORTION

HELLO THIS TIME I WILL GOING TO HAVE A SCIENCE RELATED TOP FIVE
THEY ARE TOP FIVE MOST CANCER CAUSING FOOD

these top five article was came from ybot or toby of "BALITANG KALYE"

TOP 5 MOST CANCER CAUSING FOOD
"Chips, crackers, and cookies"
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats

TOP 4 MOST CANCER CAUSING FOOD
"French fries"
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .

TOP 3 MOST CANCER CAUSING FOOD
"Doughnuts"
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.



TOP 2 MOST CANCER CAUSING FOOD
"Processed meats and bacon"
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

THE MOST CANCER CAUSING FOOD
" Hot dogs"

Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

CAR-TUNED PORTION

hello guys its Car-tune time.... last month i featured out top 5 well-love animators.... and one of them was the HANNA AND BARBERA CREATIONS.... so i will make you recall all their wonderful classic collections by listing

TOP FIVE WELL KNOWN HANNA-BARBERA CARTOONS

For nearly sixty years, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera have been creating characters that are cherished by loyal fans everywhere. In the process, they have won more citations and awards (including a record seven Oscars) than virtually any other filmmakers. For the first time, the story of this incredibly successful artistic partnership is told in the lavishly illustrated Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. The deluxe format captures the spirit of these cartoons--from the thirty-inch foldouts to the special acetate cel on the cover depicting some of the all-time favorite characters.

NOW LETS BEGIN!!!!

TOP 5 WELL-KNOWN HANNA-BARBERA CARTOON

"THE JETSONS"

The Jetsons is a prime-time animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The original incarnation of the series aired on Sunday nights on ABC from September 23, 1962 to March 3, 1963. Like The Flintstones, it is a half-hour family sitcom projecting contemporary American culture and lifestyle into another time period. While the Flintstones live in a world with machines powered by birds and dinosaurs, the Jetsons live in a futuristic utopia of elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions.

TOP 4 WELL-KNOWN HANNA-BARBERA CARTOON

"YOGI BEAR"

Yogi Bear is a fictional anthropomorphic bear who appears in animated cartoons created by Hanna-Barbera Studios. He made his debut in 1958 as a supporting character in The Huckleberry Hound Show. In 1961 he was given his own show, The Yogi Bear Show, which also included the segments Snagglepuss and Yakky Doodle. Hokey Wolf replaced his segment on The Huckleberry Hound Show. There was a musical animated feature film, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, in 1964.

Like many Hanna-Barbera characters, Yogi's personality and mannerisms were based on a popular celebrity of the time. Art Carney's Ed Norton character on The Honeymooners was said to be Yogi's inspiration. Yogi's name is a nod to the famed baseball star Yogi Berra.
The plot of most of Yogi's cartoons centered around his antics in the fictional Jellystone Park, a takeoff on the famous Yellowstone National Park. There had been a 1941 Bugs Bunny cartoon, Wabbit Twouble, that used the more obvious name "Jellostone" Park, a play on both the name of the national park and the dessert Jell-O. Yogi, accompanied by his reluctant best friend Boo Boo, would often try to steal picnic baskets from campers in the park, much to the chagrin of Park Ranger Smith. A girlfriend, Cindy Bear, turned up sometimes, and usually disapproved of Yogi's antics.

TOP 3 WELL-KNOWN HANNA-BARBERA CARTOON

"THE FLINSTONES"

The Flintstones is about a working class Stone Age man's life with his family and his next door neighbor and best friend. The first prime time cartoon geared for adults, the show originally aired from 1960 to 1966, on the ABC network. It was also ABC's first series to be televised in color. While the show was originally syndicated by Screen Gems (until 1981, then DFS Program Exchange from, and then Turner Program Services), Warner Bros. Television later acquired the rights (through parent Time Warner's purchase).

TOP 2 WELL-KNOWN HANNA-BARBERA CARTOON

"SCOOBY DOO"

Scooby-Doo is a long-running American animated series produced for Saturday morning television in several different versions from 1969 to the present. The original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, was created for Hanna-Barbera Productions by writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, CBS executive Fred Silverman and character designer Iwao Takamoto. Hanna-Barbera produced numerous spin-offs and related works until being absorbed in 1997 into Warner Bros. Animation, which has handled production since then. Although the format of the show and the cast (and ages) of characters have varied significantly over the years, the most familiar versions of the show feature a talking dog named Scooby-Doo and four teenagers: Fred "Freddie" Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers.
These five characters (officially collectively known as "Mystery, Inc.", but never referred to as such in the original series) drive around the world in a van called the "Mystery Machine", and solve mysteries typically involving tales of ghosts and other supernatural forces. At the end of each episode, the supernatural forces turn out to have a rational explanation, typically criminal plots involving costumes, latex masks and special effects intended to frighten or distract. Later versions of Scooby-Doo featured different variations on the show's supernatural theme, and include characters such as Scooby's cousin Scooby-Dum and nephew Scrappy-Doo in addition to or instead of some of the original characters.

THE MOST WELL-KNOWN HANNA-BARBERA CARTOON

"TOM AND JERRY"

Tom and Jerry was a successful and long-running series of theatrical short subjects created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The cartoons centered around a never-ending rivalry between a housecat (Tom) and a brown mouse (Jerry), whose chases and battles often involved comic violence. Hanna and Barbera ultimately wrote and directed one hundred fourteen Tom and Jerry cartoons at the MGM cartoon studio in Hollywood, California between 1940 and 1957, when the animation unit was closed down. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Awards for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) seven times, tying it with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies as the most-awarded theatrical animated series.
In 1960, MGM had new Tom and Jerry cartoons produced by Rembrandt Films, led by Gene Deitch in Eastern Europe. Production of Tom and Jerry shorts returned to Hollywood with Chuck Jones' Sib-Tower 12 Productions in 1963; this series lasted until 1967. Tom and Jerry later resurfaced in TV cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera and Filmation Studios during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Today, Warner Bros. owns the rights to Tom and Jerry, and produces the series Tom and Jerry Tales for The CW's Saturday morning "Kids WB" lineup, as well as a string of Tom and Jerry direct-to-video films.

The plots of each short usually center on Tom's frustrated attempts to catch Jerry, and the mayhem and destruction that ensues. Since Tom rarely attempts to eat Jerry and because the pair actually seem to get along in some cartoon shorts (at least in the first minute or so), it is unclear why Tom chases Jerry so much. But some reasons given may include normal feline/murine enmity, duty according to his owner, Jerry's attempt at ruining a task that Tom is entrusted with, revenge, Jerry saving other potential prey (such as ducks, canaries, or goldfish) from being eaten by Tom, or competition with another cat, among other reasons.
Tom rarely succeeds in catching Jerry, mainly because of Jerry's cleverness and cunning abilities, but sometimes because of Tom's own stupidity. Tom sometimes beats Jerry, usually when Jerry becomes the instigator or when he crosses some sort of line.
The shorts are famous for some of the most violent gags ever devised in theatrical animation: Jerry slicing Tom in half, shutting his head in a window or a door, Tom using everything from axes, pistols, explosives, traps and poison to try to murder Jerry, Jerry stuffing Tom's tail in a waffle iron, kicking him into a refrigerator, plugging his tail into an electric socket, pounding him with a mace, club or mallet, causing a tree to drive him into the ground and so on. Despite the frequent violence, there is no blood or gore in any scenes. A recurring gag involves Jerry hitting Tom when he's preoccupied, with Tom initially oblivious to the pain - and only feeling the effects moments later, and vice versa; and another involves Jerry stopping Tom in midchase (as if calling for a time-out), before he does something, usually putting the hurt on Tom.
The cartoon is also noteworthy for its reliance on stereotypes, such as the blackening of characters following explosions and the use of heavy and enlarged shadows (e.g., Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse). Resemblance to everyday objects and occurrences is arguably the main appeal of visual humor in the series. The characters themselves regularly transform into ridiculous but strongly associative shapes, most of the time involuntarily, in masked but gruesome ways (see also Cartoon physics).
Music plays a very important part in the shorts, emphasizing the action, filling in for traditional sound effects, and lending emotion to the scenes. Musical director Scott Bradley created complex scores that combined elements of jazz, classical, and pop music; Bradley often reprised contemporary pop songs, as well as songs from MGM films, including The Wizard of Oz and Meet Me In St. Louis. Generally, there is no dialogue in Tom or Jerry, apart from the occasional few lines in certain moments. The character, Mammy Two Shoes, has lines in every episode. Most of the dialogue from Tom and Jerry are the high-pitched laughs and gasping screams, which may be provided by a horn or other musical instrument
