Round 21: Need a How-to manual? Look no further :)

Today was one of my lousy days so far. Didn't feel too refreshed in the morning, and I was starting to find my task, having started on it since last friday, somewhat mundane. Minutes after sitting down and starting the desktop, I scorched my fingers from the searing hot jam from a microwaved Berliner that I bought for breakfast on the way to work. Great. Start. Grrr...

Anyways, surfing the net while at work(heh what's new, I know you guys are guilty too, reading this while at work heh!), I found wikiHow.


Some of you guys may already know about it, or not, but then again it's self-explanatory: Like Wikipedia, it consists of articles contributed by people off the Net and approved by some higher being. In the Google search results, it's being hailed as:"A collaborative writing project to build the world's largest how-to manual." On the homepage itself, you can see the line"The How-to
Manuel that YOU can edit." underneath the wikihow logo.

There are just about all categories of articles for just about everyone. For the sexually-confused, there's always some really informative articles in the Relationship category that may assist in clarifying the sexual confusion heh


There's plenty of stuff on health, sports , technology, personal finance(*ka-ching*!!) and then some more.

What I really enjoy about each manual is the format. There's firstly: 1) The Steps, then 2) Tips and finally 3) Warnings. Damm informative lah, I tell you.

Well, anyway I would just like to share my top 5 favourite articles I've found so far:

1. How to Stay awake in Dull Meetings -- yes, dear Stan has almost succumbed and became one of the dozing zombies, like our dear friend from the White House here.

Looks like dear Mr Bush ordered decaffeinated coffee for the cabinet!


2. How to Maintain the Warmth of a Long-distance Relationship -- for those who know me and read my blog, will understand why. Oh, and I so totally agree with Step 6.


3. How to retire in your 30s -- All of a sudden, I am suddenly very motivated to get my work done=D. But seriously, even if some of you ridicule at the steps, I reckon we could all take a leaf from this manual.


4. How to Feel Great in the morning -- Finally, no more monday blues or bad hair days!...I hope=P


5.And last but not least, something useful for the guys:
Know how to please a woman...How to give a Foot Massage! ;-)


Well then, go on and start browsing the other Manuals...Have Fun dear readers!
:D

I was just surfing around and found your blog. That foot massage thing, *ha!* I actually knew how to do! I mean, before going to Wikihow to read it. Good thing, otherwise, I might've gotten cramps or something!

Hello Cheryl!

Thanks for dropping by! Do enjoy reading comments from readers like you.

Haha, correct me if I'm wrong, but yes I believe giving massages, back or foot, are one of the best ways to a woman's heart. Which lady can resist a guy who's good with his hands? *grins*
