Thoughts abound....

Sometimes something like this happens...

You're a very conservative individual who is very averse to changes but sometimes you encounter situations that always changes and you have no choice but to allow it to affect you. Thereby, you accept that this certain aspect of your life is abound with constant changes. You might think this will help you help yourself change too by accepting changes in another different aspect of your life aside from this but it doesn't. You're stuck in the same life cycle of your life, conservative & averse to changes. Why does that one aspect differ? what is so different between this and that? It's the fact that you thought that change fore that certain aspect is common, you ironically consider it constant that's why the rest of the world but that can change

Mannequin Runway: Prada Resort 2008 Skirt

I have just recently stumbled across this fabulously authentic pleated skirt from Prada during one of my trips at a thrift store. I was so ecstatic about it that I kept smiling for days! I immediately checked out Prada's Runway Collections with my fingers crossed! Who wouldn't? It was in a perfectly excellent condition with just the slightest gray stain on the waist area. Plus, I couldn't help but notice the textile quality and the perfect sewing techniques employed, it's definitely not some cheap/Class A imitation at all.

So there I was browsing through hundreds of collection and then I found it! Right there, I saw this Model Siri Tollerod wearing the exact same prints/pattern that I had. Her skirt was slightly different w/ only two front pleats but who's counting? I'm perfectly happy with simply knowing which runway did that pattern graced. Then, before anything else,  I should show you the skirt first though:















Isn't this just lovely?






























































It would be so great if I could find someone to adopt this for only $100USD (not including the shipping). I find it really hard to sell this in my location because it is a runway collection. Plus, it will be severely underpriced, since not a lot of people here in my country likes skirts very much, they prefer dresses and an equivalent of $40USD should be considered expensive already (I really don't mean to offend). I also can't imagine how it will be taken care of since it is for professional dry clean and I don't trust dry cleaning in my location coz I've lost 3 of the 5 favorite dresses I sent to the dry cleaners that way. Another thing about the washing part, it is in our culture to employ laundrywoman to do their laundry (manual washing by hands or machine-wash), and those employees are not exactly trained to professionally launder your garments. I shiver just imagining the dress being thrown into the rest of the everyday garments & thereby destroying it in the end.

...

Now, before you start going to the site, I should tell you now that that site does not exist. This little sample here is the newest in spamming/spoofing/hacking thing in the web. I don't really know how this is done but I am assuming that it's by opening sites that would ask your emails or some malwares or spywares that actually gets data out of your quaint little computer.

I love going through the internet, browsing sites both wholesome and something else and I ended up encountering this little problem that's given me headache for weeks now. I'm not a beginner/dummy in this cyber tech world but I don't have extensive knowledge about it too, that's why I've only just recently realized that this problem here can be resolved by simply going into your mail options and fixing your vacation response. Then, viola! Problem solved!

So to summarize this again, if you are using a yahoo email address, take these following precautions when you start receiving spam return mails in your inbox or spam folder.

1. Change your password to something harder to solve. Since I have no idea how this thing happened, I am not removing the Hacker idea out of my suspect list. I may have been hacked or not but it doesn't hurt to change your password to be safe.

2. Go to your Yahoo!Mail
-> MAIL OPTIONS -> VACATION RESPONSE
-> UNTICK THE "Enable auto-response during your vacation" BOX
-> SAVE CHANGES


VIOLA! Problem solved! That is until, you get victimized again since I don't really know the source of this thing...
