MERMAID GENE DA PRINCESS http://genecia.multiply.com/ <CENTER>  <CENTER>  Thanks for visiting my lifeblog, I started blogging since 2005 with the aim to document my life, provide commentary and opinions, express deeply felt emotions, articulate ideas through my writing. This place shares my life and personal thoughts. While I journal, I hope it is interesting enough a personality to keep you entertained for the moment. I blog weekly and that's as many times my blogging style has been challenged, commented on or praised. As we are different, so is our blog! It can only be what we as the owners behind the blog want it to be. When you visit my space, it clearly states my reflection. I have crossed path with many friends at different stage of my life. To some I am the athletic Genecia, the fitness instructor who enjoys an active lifestyle; while some as the caring and compassionate Genecia, looking after the elders and young as a therapist; others as Genecia, the model; some as Genecia, the little girl and Genecia, the student but most recognised me as the beauty queen. Irregardless where you have known or met me, I am the hyper active, adventurous, outgoing, sociable, cheerful, optimistic Genecia ... most importantly I am a person who cares! Some people are confused as what I do for a living. In my definition, I managed my own business as a Personality Development Consultant being the Principal Consultant at InQueenz. Here we develop women into Confident, Charismatic, Skilled, and Well-Balanced Queens on stage and Leaders in life, In simple words, I conduct Personality Development Classes and provide Personality Consultation Services and Pageantry Consultation Services. I make effort to upgrade myself continuosly so that I stay relevant. I enjoyed my work as I am doing what I love. On a personal capacity, I hope to be involved in more community projects through the Voluntary Welfare Organisation (VWO). I have sinced volunteered my services and time to several VWO, including Singapore Women's Association (SWA), Singapore Rotary Club and Children-At-Risks-Empowerment (CARE). I hope I can make a little difference to the lives of some by my small contribution back to the society. Amidst my busy schedule, I still allocate time for my family, friends and myself. I believed in living a balanced lifestyle. I go on a regular Scuba Diving trip as it helps me to be connected to mother nature and myself. The escapade also allows me to do the things I love ... travel, listen to music, read a book , reflect on issues and relax myself.  <CENTER>BELOW IS A COLLECTION OF ALL MY FIRST EXPERIENCES <embed name='photoFlick' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' align='middle' src='http://flash.picturetrail.com/pflicks/thumbs_test.swf' width='460' height='310' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' loop='false' quality='high' flashvars='auto=1&logopath=http://flash.picturetrail.com/pflicks/ptlogo1_thumbs_test.swf&ptdim=50.10&ptxy=284.16&transition=3&wait=10&boxcolor=6&fontsize=16&fontcolor=6&img1=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454177.jpg&img2=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454178.jpg&img3=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454555.jpg&img4=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454559.jpg&img5=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454545.jpg&img6=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454185.jpg&img7=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247453567.jpg&img8=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247452513.jpg&img9=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247452516.jpg&img10=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247452514.jpg&img11=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454162.jpg&img12=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454157.jpg&img13=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247453573.jpg&img14=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247453565.jpg&img15=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247454173.jpg&img16=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247453570.jpg&img17=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247452512.jpg&img18=http://pic60.picturetrail.com:80/VOL1676/8736178/16168733/247452518.jpg' wmode='transparent' bgcolor='#ffffff' allowscriptaccess='never'></EMBED>   <CENTER><IMG src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h122/freeglitters/dividers4/4.gif" border=0>  <DIV style="WIDTH: 335px">  <STYLE> .wlwHGYO { display: block; background-image:url(http://welovewidgets.com/i/hA.gif); } .wlwHGYO:hover { background-image:url http://welovewidgets.com/i/hAo.gif); } </STYLE>                      <embed src='http://welovewidgets.com/w.swf?w=horoscope&d=6-3-1982&n=Luo&' width='335' height='316' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowscriptaccess='never' wmode='transparent'><A class=wlwHGYO href="http://welovewidgets.com/"><IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height=35 src="http://welovewidgets.com/i/x.gif" width=335></A></DIV>  <DIV class=modmyprofileDOTcom><A href="http://new.modmyprofile.com/map.php?id">My World Visitor Map! <IMG alt="My World Visitor Map!" src="http://www.modmyprofile.com/worlds/350808.bmp" border=0></A></DIV></CENTER></CENTER></CENTER></CENTER> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:58:45 -0000 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:48:06 -0000 MERMAID GENE DA PRINCESS http://images.genecia.multiply.com/logo http://genecia.multiply.com 100 100 Mrs Singapore & Classic Singapore 2008 20th July 2008 - Mrs Singapore & Classic Singapore, organised by ERM, held at Orchid Country Club.

IT’S COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT DESPITE the blaring vehicular and human traffic around the City Hall area, there are still urban retreats where you can escape from the hustle and bustle. Take the corner of Beach Road and Seah Street for example, where Naumi Hotel, Singapore’s first luxury boutique business hotel, nestles. It’s here that we met 25 year-old Genecia Luo, former Miss Singapore International (MSI) ’06 and founder of InQueenz, a training school dedicated to preparing women to become queens on the stage, and life.

EXPERIENCE UNDER THE SEA! What Inspired Me When I was a little girl, I loved the animated film/movie, ‘The Little Mermaid’. In fact, the song that leave the deepest impression in me was ‘Under The Sea’. Since then, I have always yearned to experience how the life would be like underwater-- under the sea. Like I always say, “The sounds of the waves calms me, tranquility & peace it brings to my soul, the deep blue water – mysteriously intrigue me. My Learning Experience In May 2004, I took the open water diver course with a PADI certified/recognized dive shop -- Aquaterra Adventures.(Aquaterra Adventures back then was spearheaded by Andy Yap and his partner.) I was recommended by my girlfriend, who previously dived with them. Her feedback about the instructor was that he had good interaction with students, understanding & being patient with the needs & pace of students, excellent small group ratio. Above all, she chirped that the instructor was good-looking. *coughs* Note: P... http://genecia.multiply.com/reviews/item/700 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:47:11 -0000 Fashion Stylist?Look no further.

I have travelled many places, meet many new friends, attended plenty of psychology related courses, and conducted personality development classes for several batches of ladies. Over the period of 1 year, I have grown tremendously. I learnt to apply psychological techniques in my daily life, as well as to help those in need. One unforgettable experience was when I volunteered in a Depression group in Taipei, Taiwan. Here, I facilitated a group therapy session using the psychological empowerment techniques I've learnt. After a couple of sessions with this group of people, they became more open and were more willing to interact with others.

Yet, beauty queen Genecia Luo (top picture) has turned to a local dating agency to help her find Mr Right. The willowy 1.72m-tall bachelorette has many pageant titles under her belt, among them Miss Singapore Universe 2006 second runner-up and MissSingapore International 2006. She was also a finalist in The New Paper New Face modelling contest in 2003. What Ms Luo, 25, doesn't have - but is keenly longing for - is someone she can spend the rest of her life with. With all her outstanding qualities, surely men would be beating a path to her door?

InQueenz's purpose in Developing serves to Connect, Inspire, and Empower aspiring women to become Queenz on stage and more importantly, Queens and in Life. We believe in developing a person's Beauty in the areas of Physical attractiveness, Character, Personality, an Attitude of Gratitude for life, and the Ability to Appreciate the Colours of Life (challenges, setbacks, detours, relationships, & love). A true Queen is someone whom exudes Grace in the form of Giving, Recognizing, Acknowledging, Loving, and Receiving.

"The search for world unique food ingredients and flavors with enhanced health-beneficial properties is at present one of the key market trends," wrote lead author Michael Netzela of the food research and development organization Food Science Australia -- a joint project of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (Australia's national science agency) and the Victoria government. "Botanicals from the regions linked to wellness and natural functionality with exotic fruits called 'super fruits,' such as acai from Amazonia, are becoming a popular target of health-conscious consumers and industry managers," Netzela wrote. Along with researchers from Ohio State Univers... http://genecia.multiply.com/reviews/item/697 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:21:35 -0000 READING, WRITING AND NUTRITION: THE FOUNDATION TO A CHILD'S EDUCATION Tuesday, October 23, 2007 by: S.A Ramratan Nutrition can improve learning and memory in school children. A group of European scientists from Unilever have proved that nutrition is part of the foundation to a child’s education, even if they are well fed. The researchers, along with colleagues from research institutes in Australia and Indonesia performed a 12 month study with 780 children, as reported in Medical News Today. The first group of studies – done with a group of children in Australia – were either given a vitamin and mineral mix to a daily drink, or a placebo. The children with the vitamin and mineral mix performed much better on tests measuring their learning and memory capabilities than the children who received the drink and placebo. The study was also carried out in Indonesia, and similar results were found but only for the girls. The drink mix was either a mix of micronutrients (iron, zinc, folate and vitamins A, B-6, B-12 and C) or with fish-oil (DHA and EPA)... http://genecia.multiply.com/reviews/item/696 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:18:11 -0000 GLOBAL WARMING VERSUS PLANET POISONING Tuesday, October 23, 2007 by: Ellen Holder Al Gore recently won a Nobel Prize for his documentary on global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth”. Since then, there has been much debate over whether or not Mr. Gore deserved this accolade and thus rekindled the debate over global warming in general. This seems to be the point of the movie in the first place, to focus our attention on climate change and what we can do about it. Now if only someone equally famous would put together a documentary on how synthetic chemicals are killing us and the planet. The effects of carbon emissions from our insatiable appetite for energy may be melting the polar ice caps and endangering the polar bears, but perchlorate in our ground water is compromising the healthy function of the thyroid in both man and beast. Increasingly prescribed over the decades, synthetic hormones have also found their way into our lakes, streams and drinking water and already there are populations of frogs found with both male... http://genecia.multiply.com/reviews/item/695 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:13:05 -0000 MELATONIN FOUND TO SLOW NEURODEGENERATIVE AGING EFFECTS The naturally produced chemical melatonin may slow the effects of aging, according to an animal study conducted by Spanish scientists associated with the Spanish Aging Research Network (RNIE). Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the human body, particularly during darkness, and its production may be hampered by excessive artificial lighting. It is also found in certain plants, including bananas, cherries, corn, lemon verbena, mint, oats, onions, rice, sage and thyme, as well as in red wine. It has been available as a health supplement since 1993. The hormone has previously been shown to function as an antioxidant, removing from the blood the free radicals that have been associated with aging. Free radicals are electrically charged chemicals that may cause cell damage. According to professor Darío Acuña Castroviejo of the University of Granada, coordinator of the RNIE, free radicals cause cells to become "more fragile with the years and, therefore, their cell membranes be... http://genecia.multiply.com/reviews/item/694 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:11:20 -0000 CAN FLU SHOT REALLY PROTECT AGAINST THE FLU? Friday, October 19, 2007 by: John Cole Reading through the health section of any mainstream media outlet recently would convince most people that it’s time to hurry up, rush out, line up, and get a flu shot. I just entered the search “flu shot” into Google’s news page and got some of the following headlines: “Time for a Flu Shot”, “How to Get a Flu Shot”, and “Where Are You Going to Get Your Flu Shot This Season?”. Makes it sound automatic, sound like something every sensible person should do. Influenza and Flu Vaccine Facts The CDC informs us on its Key Facts About Seasonal Influenza page that about 36,000 people die each year from influenza in the US. A National Vital Statistics Report (pdf) lumps influenza and pneumonia deaths together, and the total was roughly 62,500 in 2001. Some critics claim that the numbers have been severely manipulated, and that the real number of deaths from influenza in 2001 should be only around 750, with the remainder due to pneumonia. I think t... http://genecia.multiply.com/reviews/item/693 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:04:36 -0000
