PhotoHunt 119 - What IS that?

We visited my sister-in-law and her/our granddaughter - Lian. And, Lian wanted to play the "What IS that?" game with her granny Beng - my wifey.

So, they play:

Granny: "Lian, what IS that?"

Lian: "This? This is my nose! That's very easy."

Granny: "Very good! And, what IS that?"

Lian: "It's another walk in the park! This is my mouth."

Granny: "Very good again"

Lian: "Granny, can I ask you a difficult question?"

Granny: "Sure!"

Lian : "Granny, what IS that?"

Granny: "What?"

Lian: "What is your age?"

Granny: "THE GAME IS OVER!"

A Beauty Taste

Pond's hosted a party for bloggers and their girl friends last Friday night at the Taste Asia. It was dubbed as, "A Taste of Beauty at Taste Asia". The rains failed to stop the bloggers and their guests from coming. It was a successful party with plenty of food, drinks, and fun.

Why would Pond's, or any sponsor for that matter, treat a bunch of bloggers and their friends to a party. And, this was not an ordinary and cheap party. I believe that blogs, nowadays, are the best vehicles in promoting and advertising consumers' products or services. And, bloggers are the best and effective endorsers. Do you agree?

Since Pond's sponsored this party, I am reciprocating by plugging its new products in this blog. Its NEW POND'S age miracle products would make you "look younger in 7 days". Whoa! Unbelievable? Then, I suggest you try them and see for yourself.

And by the way, get a chance to win an IPhone or two and more. Join SM Hypermarket’s Blog Writing Contest “myPond’s 7-Day Beauty Blog”. Good luck!

And, here are some pictures of the party:

A BRIGHT day two days after typhoon "Frank" (international code name Fengshen) lashed the Philippines last weekend.
