Surgical Laser Course At Sharjah University Laser Training and Research Center

Laser surgery is a popular form of treatment in the field of medicine, including dentistry. Basically, it is a surgery using a laser to cut tissue instead of a scalpel. In that sense, it is one of the latest procedures used by doctors and dentists in treating patients. One of the essential benefits of laser surgery is that there's no spread of infections because there's no physical contact that is common in normal surgery.



In Surgical Laser Course At Sharjah University Laser Training and Research Center, surgical laser courses are offered to practicing physicians and dentists, including laser dentistry in UAE. The objective of the course is to evaluate the swiftly growing use of lasers for laser lipolysis and to compare the use of the different wavelengths for laser lipolysis in terms of safety and efficacy. Since the best way to treat patients is to provide better services, physicians are encouraged to improve their knowledge in laser technology.

Watercamp Resorts In Cavite For Day Out With Friends

There are hundreds of resorts located in the province but one of my best choices is Watercamp Resorts in Cavite. It is the nearest venue from the subdivision where I live so I'm thinking to celebrate the weekend holidays in the area. If you are familiar with Cavitex, it is easy to reach the resort. From the expressway, going straight to Kawit, Cavite, and stopping by Panamitan is the perfect route.


Since I've never tried dining in the resort's restaurant, I'm planning to try their menu. Other activities include swimming and sightseeing. I'm excited to try their accommodation package since a friend of mine recommended it. I will enjoy their low season rates too. What about you? Do you have plans for the upcoming holidays?

SULTARC As International School For Dentistry Is A Good Choice

I'm aware that my dentist who lives within our place is not yet fully equipped with the latest development in the field of dentistry. When I had a treatment with the said dentist, I've asked him about Invisalign. He told me that he is not yet familiar with it. Later on, I looked around in his office and realized that he is also not using any laser-related equipment. That said, I realized that dentists must increase their knowledge of the industry they belong.


Keeping abreast with the latest technological development in the field of dentistry is a good decision. For dentists, it is their way of ensuring to their patients that they are sincere and serious with their practice of dentistry. In my case, I was thinking of exploring Invisalign treatment for my teeth. I have a friend who wants to try laser-related treatment. Hence, a dentist's attendance in an international school for dentistry like SULTARC for special training is important in today's fast-paced lifestyle.

Trendy Karen Favorites

This October, I would like to share my favorite products and my thoughts for this month. I've heard one co-church member who mentioned that "there's no such thing as an ideal man". When I pondered about the line, I came up my own version of the idea. "There's no ideal man in a relationship. The profound commitment to make your man a better person is ideal."


Going away with the more serious topic, let us talk about nail polish color. Recently, I've found a photo in my folder. It's a snap of one of my favorite nail polish colors. It has shades of violet, a color that I favored this year. Speaking of nail polish, I'm planning to try vivid colors on my nails, preferably hot pink or orange. Do you have any nice product that you can recommend?


Also, I would like to share this cute handbag, owned by a a friend. When I saw her carrying the chic fashion item, I readily asked her for a photo so I could share it with you.

Blog Award From Inwrite's Splize And Blog Reading

This is my 100th post in this blog, Trendy Karen, and I'm so lucky to focus the topic on winning blog awards. Three years ago, I started blogging with my husband's constant reaffirmation that I'll enjoy the hobby. I'm not really a full-time blogger that time since I have a day job in a writing company. Later on, I only blog when I feel bored and sometimes when inspired, and my favorite topic is of course, fashion. But when I realized that blogging is a way to build my new-found career, I discreetly studied the industry and molded myself to fit in. With that, I was able to find the job that I really love - fashion blogging.

I also participate in blogging contests and stayed as an active member of Nuffnang. When Joel of Inwrite invited me in the launching of their two amazing websites, Splize and Blog Proofreading, I've cheerfully participated the event and joined their Facebook Likes Contest and Blog Review Contests among other invited bloggers. Fortunately, I was able to bag the Best Blog Review For Splize website award with a $25 prize paid via Paypal and won two-time Facebook Likes for Blog Proofreading and Splize. Thanks to those who helped me in that great endeavor, especially to my supportive husband.

With Mr. Ole Ronberg, CEO of Codelean Inc.
during a brief visit in their office in Makati City
to claim my prizes...

Honestly, I had initially considered blogging as a hobby. But when I had a full grasp of the opportunity to blend it with my writing career, I've decided to love it for career development. Until now, I still found blogging as a fun-filled activity. It also paved the way to meet other people and learn from them. To Ms. Andria and Mr. Joel, thank you for the wonderful opportunity to enjoy blogging through Inwrite's launching event and contests.

Kim Kardashian's Skintight Outfit For Bowling

No doubt, she's one of the most famous reality stars in Hollywood. She is also fast becoming a fashion icon with her impressive style and demeanor. But Kim Kardashian isn't perfect. She recently failed to wear the right attire for bowling, a sports which requires comfortable ensemble.

Kim Kardashian

Together with her equally famous family, Kim goes to Bowlmore Lanes for bowling fun. Wearing a skintight pants and a daring see-through top, she missed the fashion mark and went overboard. Still, we love Kim Kardashian's style because she looked stunning in her trademark makeup and nice features. What do you think?

The Significance Of My Blog Title Trendy Karen

When I was in my elementary years, I didn't know anything of the word "style" and so ignorant about the fashion world. I was like a weird, geeky and wide-reader kid who gets accustomed to her loads of books and reading materials. In fact, one of my grade school teachers (I won't name names here) was hesitant to cast me as part of the school-wide theater show Sleeping Beauty just because I look like a super skinny young girl with no sense of style. But the incident created a sudden spark in my mind - an innocent dream that one day I'll become a fun, fearless and knowledgeable fashionista.

Little by little, I grew tired of being less fortunate in life and has decided to become stylishly prudent in lifestyle and career goals. Since being a lawyer has been literally withheld by my ultimate confidante, God himself, I decided to go back to my first love - being a fierce writer. I said fierce because I was not reluctant to experience true-to-life heartbreaks and joy to prepare myself to become an author someday.


Enter my hot fashion pursuit. When blogging became a hit, I tried to incorporate my love of dressing up and styling. My ardent desire to embrace modest fashion clothing research and writing allowed me to find my dream job - as a fashion writer. I'm not yet an expert, but dreams to become one, and I will make sure that I can live up to the title of this blog, Trendy Karen.

Trendy Karen Won Splize Blog Review Contest By Inwrite

If you remember receiving short messages from me asking your support for my entry in the Splize Blog Review Contest, you will surely be happy to know that my blog post was selected as the winner. This is a surprise for me, since my husband and I just prepared the piece in a short period of time. I asked his help to prepare the slide video we've posted at Youtube, Trendy Karen and Splize.com and I wrote the blog post.


Joel from I Am Joey Boy, a fellow blogger from Inwrite informed me that I'm one of the winners of their two contests. Today, I've learned that they already deposited the prize in my PayPal account, which is a good thing since I'm planning to pay and secure another set of domains.

Why YOU Should Enter: The World Media Awards

There are a lot of excellent bloggers and publishers doing great work, and those who stand out deserve to have their work recognized, connect with each other, and see their readerships grow. That’s why the World Media Awards exist- to recognize and reward great contributions to media from bloggers and publishers.

In my own career, I’ve learned and benefited so much from others that I wanted to help establish some way to give back to an industry I love show appreciation to the up-and-coming leaders. The World Media Awards will culminate in a one day event in San Francisco that will celebrate the best in blogging, forums, publishing and media from around the world. 



So if you are a world class blogger, why should you enter?
   
1. Get Recognized- You Deserve It !

    You put a lot of effort into making your blog amazing. You understand it and your readers know it. The World Media Awards is a way for you to get authoritative recognition from other bloggers and industry experts. That recognition will help you grow your readership, make new collaborative connections, and hopefully have a few warm fuzzy moments that make all the late nights even more worthwhile.
      
    2. Meet Other Bloggers Who Care

      Blogging, forums and most other online media is about conversation and interaction, but sometimes it’s easy to end up trying to hide away behind a screen in your office or home all alone. Meeting other bloggers and publishers keeps the fire lit and the conversation going. When you enter the World Media Awards, you’ll be listed alongside other bloggers and publishers who put the same level of delight, attention and work into making their blog great.
        
      3. Expose Yourself to New Partners

        If your blog or forum is part of your company, being part of the World Media Awards will increase your exposure by putting your name in front of numerous visitors to our site and the award ceremony. That means you can find out who else is doing very good work, strut your own stuff, and expand your network of contacts and collaborators.
          
        4. Make Yourself Irresistible to Clients

          What helps your chances at winning that next pitch more than growing your network? Telling that network that you just won a World Media Award. Winning an award shines a light on your success, and it serves as an example of the commitment, engagement and exacting standards you apply to your work.
            
          5. Be Part of the Beginning of Something Big

            Because 2012 is the first year for these awards, you have the one-time opportunity to be the inaugural winner and set the standard for the World Media Awards in your category. Getting in on the ground floor of these awards will open opportunities for you as a blogger and a publisher.

            The bottom line is, the World Media Awards will shine a spotlight on the year’s most prosperous bloggers and publishers, and on the organizations that serve and interact with them.

            Now is your chance to be one of them.

            The sponsors include Growmap, Pace Lattin, VigLink and Trancos.
            World Media Award judges include Steve Hall, Sarah Austin, Chang Kim, Julie Wohlberg, Pierre Zarokian, Ivka Adam, Cheryl Contee, Krystyl Baldwin, Adrian Harris, Jeremy Wright, Rob Bloggeries, Dave Duarte, Tanya Alvarez, Dana Oshiro, Tom Foremski, and Judith Lewis. hashtag #wmads on Twitter.
            Media partners include Adrants, Bloggeries, MediaVision, The Affiliate Marketing Awards, Read Write Web, My Blog Guest, Web Traffic Control and FeedBlitz.

            Juan Carlo The Caterer Food Tasting Event At One Esplanade Pasay

            Last Saturday, I was invited again by Juan Carlo The Caterer to experience One Esplanade food tasting event. It's not the usual activity that bloggers attend - this one is so relaxed, organized and memorable. I've had the chance to capture the freshest feelings of delighted guests while asking queries about the services of Juan Carlo The Caterer, especially the food.


            Speaking of food and refreshments, Juan Carlo The Caterer is an expert - you will have the chance to have a taste of their authentic dishes and enticing desserts.

            My Thoughts On The Sting Of The Scorpion Address

            These days, I've been thinking on how to deal with a church colleague's behavior. I'm not feeling right on what she's doing and so it affected my church related duties. Maybe, for her, I'm just a 30-year-old woman who lacks the wisdom and knowledge she possesses, or maybe she doesn't like me. The tide of confusion and indifference surrounded me to the highest level because in the first place I was given the primary responsibility to fulfill my tasks.


            Enter The Sting Of The Scorpion address by Elder Patrick Kearon. Because of my latest predicament,  I became overly lazy and uninterested in doing my assignments. Later on, I learned to justify my actions and hate what my colleague is doing against me. But the message is clear: "When it comes to how we live the gospel, we must not respond with laziness or rebelliousness." In that sense, I must diligently strive to become what the Lord needs and wants me to be, despite the challenges that I've been facing lately. Yes, her behavior is like the sting of a scorpion that may devour me, but there are many positive ways to solve the problem. This powerful address,  The Sting Of The Scorpion, has inspired me to do the right thing and endure to the end.

            Juan Carlo The Caterer's Food Tasting Event At Fernbrook Gardens Alabang

            When I entered the spacious entrance hall of Fernbrook Gardens, I thought I was a denizen of the Victorian era. There's no doubt the place is a dream wedding venue right at the heart of the magnificent islands of Asia. Impressed by the wedding venue, I've intended to dig deeper and marvel at the splendid view until I came across Juan Carlo The Caterer's food tasting event that was held in the enchanting place, Fernbrook Gardens.

            Trendy Karen's amazing readers will have a glimpse of the impressive catering services of Juan Carlo. Every now and then, I'll post interesting news about the premium food and catering institution. Honestly, I'm hooked with their Pandan Panacotta, the well-known Italian dessert, because of its distinctive flavor with the right sweetness. 

            Not only that, you will definitely love their presentation of the dessert, which is artfully cradled in a small cocktail glass.

            I really enjoyed my blogging stint with Juan Carlo The Caterer. In my next post, you'll know more of their services and menu. This is just an appetizer my dear readers, I intend to share more about the famed catering institution.

            Yes It Is True, There Is No Secret SEO Ingredient

            I'm not a big time member of the SEO community. In fact, I took for granted many opportunities to develop my online marketing skills. I prefer writing articles and blog posts despite the reality that SEO and content writing goes hand in hand. I should make the two work together not in a grand fancy but in simple terms. Do you know what I mean? Online optimization is not really difficult, you just have to stick to the basics and implement. If I'm not mistaken, one of the tools of online marketing is - of course, patience.

            Joshua of Marketing Pilgrim gave an insightful article about the truth that there's no secret search engine optimization ingredient. If you're able to have a passionate grasp of its basics and able to withstand the monotonous set of work it entails, then you'll be successful. As I've said, I don't earn millions out of the skill but I really enjoyed the whole process. Now you already know that I love new ideas (SEO-related skills, for instance) and great lessons, online and offline. I'm aware that it's good to improve one's skills from time to time. What do you think?

            A Bit Of Fashion, Travel and Calmness

            It's been so long that I've posted a personal post here, something that talks about my activities, feelings or emotions. Basically, I don't intend to share some of my whereabouts, but I'm really excited about my new line of passion - fashion writing. I'm really fond of fashion-related ideas, photos and news so it's expected that I'll have this skill. I'm not a perfect writer, only passionate and daring, that's why I still managed to improve my craft.

            I also write about travel because I love visiting new places. During holidays, I visit tourist spots with my husband. I'm really excited to be on the road with people who love to rent a vehicle for a travel escapade and take advantage of the remarkable packages offered by ManilaBus Rentals Philippines
            nowadays. It's really worth my time.



            Going back to fashion, I have also a little concern, fashion is a bit expensive. But I'm inspired with fashion bloggers and their statements that it's good to be a fashionista-on-a-budget. I've known many bloggers who wear thrifted items - mostly are ultra fashionable and chic. I've also learned from them that haggling is fine, as long as good timing is the tool. 

            How about you? Are you a bloggers who loves anything related to fashion? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Since Cavite is just minutes away from the metro, with Cavitex being in operation, then the resort is really accessible.

            American Idol Beauty Pia Toscano Seductive Look

            Honestly, I haven't watched her sing solo via American Idol but I like her beauty. Seeing Pia Toscano encased in a knitted top for a music video made me remember the last season's American Idol show. She's having the right exposure as her debut single entitled This Time was unveiled today. But Pia Toscano's fans noticed the seductive dress she wore in the video making her look more sultry, captivating and talented singer.



            Pia Toscano in her This Time debut single video    

            Obviously, the video backdrop was in a beach so it's just trendy for her to wear long-sleeved white top and short shorts. The beach babe Pia will surely remain a famous American Idol with all the opportunities she's enjoying despite being voted out early last season.

            Here Comes My Favorite Daemul Or Big Thing Korean Drama

            Since I'm an avid fan of Ko Hyun Jung, I'm so excited that Big Thing is already shown in local television. When this Korean Drama became a huge hit last year, I'm one of those who are in a hurry looking for its videos in Youtube. I remember watching its first few episodes in a Spanish language. Luckily, I can understand a little Spanish so it was not hard to feel Maureen's (Ko Hyun Jung's character here) acting.


            I like Ko Hyun Jung's outfits shown in Big Thing. Simple or not, I like the way she carry her style especially when she played as the Korean president. Being a former beauty queen, she knows what viewers want when it comes to fashion. In fact, she looks good in a summery ensemble and a pair of black boots that she donned in one scene.

            Catwoman Anne Hathaway Photos

            Bloggers share photos of Catwoman Anne Hathaway showing her top condition while filming The Dark Knight Rises. It seems that she wants to be the sexiest Catwoman ever as reports mentioned that she took regular workout to achieve a good shape for the role.

            Many people call her Catwoman Anne Hathaway since many noticed her enthusiastic side while filming for the movie The Dark  Knight Rises. I'm sure this film will be a hit next year. Now, there's a release of the first official photo of Anne as catwoman in the The Dark Knight Rises.

            Envelope Clutches Fashion

            Yes. The simple setting of an envelope was the latest pattern of today's bags. It's not hard to believe that envelope clutches can be yours nowadays. Many bloggers noticed Kim Kardashian carrying an envelope bag  in different size and color. Your love letters long time ago can now be saved in a high-tech cellular phone signed sealed and delivered inside a fashionable clutch purse. Yes, that's possible.

            Well, if you remember the traditional letters via postage, bring on the statement in your style nowadays. I find the design inspiration very amusing because I remember the days when I'm an active pen pal letter sender. Also, I remember Kate Spade designs when I see these colorful envelope clutches. Personally, I would love to own over-sized envelope purses. How about you?

            Pasta Love At Mario's Kitchen

            First and foremost, I would like to thank all my friends who supported my entries to the BlogReading and Splize contests. I'm really thrilled every time a friend spends time to support my blog posts via Facebook "Like". I'm inspired to write about Pasta Love at Mario's Kitchen because of the past bloggers event with Inwrite at the said place. Also, I've just watched Spoon this morning and they featured Pasta Ysabel. How inspiring! So, here's what I had tried at Mario's Kitchen in Makati.

            The photo above shows beef lasagna, my favorite pasta recipe. It isn't too spicy and very delicious. The bread neutralizes the taste of the pasta flavor. Since I love eating beef, it's perfect for me. Indeed, I'm a pasta lover. If you want to have a taste of Mario's Kitchen menu, visit the cafe at Palanca St., Makati City. They said their specialty is Spanish Food. So, expect delicious paella, lengua and callos there. 


            Glambox Airbrush Workshop Trendy Karen Report

            As mentioned before, I've won the Glambox Airbrush Cosmetics contest last, last week. That's the reason I was invited to attend the first ever Glambox Airbrush Workshop last Saturday with Nikki (askmewhats.com) and Sophie (Beautynomics.com) as fabulous instructors. I'm so happy to receive a fashion magazine and key chain holder as welcome gifts.

            Since I was so busy listening to the instructors, I forgot to take photos of the snacks to complete this report. However, I really enjoyed what they served that fun-filled afternoon. Here's the Glambox Airbrush Cosmetics products.

            Vera Wang For Kim Kardashian Wedding Dress Confirmed

            When I visited Stylist to find amazing fashion stories, I learned that it's confirmed that Vera Wang is the designer of Kim Kardashian's wedding dress. The famous reality TV star and model kept the identity of her wedding dress designer a secret, just like Kate Middleton. But now, top bloggers talk about Vera Wang as the chosen designer of the wedding gown of Kim Kardashian for her nuptials to Kris Humphries this coming August 20.





            Kim Kardashian and Vera Wang

            I wasn't surprised that Kim chose Vera Wang as the designer because I've read new about her visiting the latter's shop in New York last June. It's not surprising that the said designer is a favorite of many celebrities including Avril Lavigne, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston. 


            Florence Brudenell-Bruce Style

            I have a new favorite, Florence Brudenell-Bruce. Honestly, I've heard about her when rumors about Prince William dating this beauty hits online magazines. I did a little research about her just to know her style and fashion sense. Well, she used to wear laid-back boho look. But it was in 2009 that Florence Brudenell-Bruce admitted aligning her style through the seasons and of her mood.



            Florence Brudenell-Bruce

            Many top fashion bloggers mention about her, especially her latest closeness with the young Prince Harry. She is also a former Bollywood actress with a budding career as a model. During her entire modelling career, she had campaigned for different brands like Brora, La Senza, Knickerbox and Avon. Florence Brudenell-Bruce also appeared in the pages of Tatler and Vogue magazines.

            Bluer Than Blue StyleBible My Style

            I'm very choosy when it comes to my photos for display here. But since this is just for fun and blogging love, I just choose what I consider trendy. So, let's talk about the blouse I had in this photo. By the way, I've submitted this photo at Style Bible My Style section.


            Style Bible My Style

            That blue blouse I guess is designed for entertainment performance. It has lots of vintage decoration (usually beads) in it. Its long sleeve style is trendy. But, I still see it as Bluer Than Blue reflection. :)

            Fashion 21 Pressed Powder Review

            I've been using a certain pressed powder for years but lately I decided to use Fashion 21 pressed powder. I chose Natural color to make it blend with my skin. I'm impressed with the results since it gave a clean not-so brown and not-so white effect.

            Remember my review on Fashion 21 Lip and Face Tint? I discovered there were many blog visitors who gave time reading it. Well, I don't use super expensive products for savings purposes. Fashion 21 products are affordable and perfect for my skin. The Fashion 21 Pressed Powder comes with a red lipstick that I really like.

            One day, I received this comment from another blogger.
            Ouch! I really need to proofread what I write before post submission. I felt shame because of what happened albeit it was not intentional.
