Excited! A Skirt or a Dress?

Teacher Mo said not to miss the session this coming Thursday. It's actually 2 things, one is the exam and the other is learning to do the bodice. I am excited since she mentioned that this is the heart and soul of pattern making. This is what I have been waiting for and it's going to happen in two days. Nope I am not looking forward to the exam, I feel like I am already too old to remember anything. Don't get me wrong, it's not a waste studying pattern making, it's just that I need the guide for now. I know I will be able to remember everything once my notebook is out. Give me time...more time in fact and I will make you a skirt or a dress. Pick your choice!!!

So What's Yours?

I envy those people who are into collecting stuff, whatever it may be. I wanna have a passion of my own too. I already have in mind what to collect and I haven't started yet. I will probably start the very minute I go out of the country. Mine is just a simple passion, it does not necessarily have to be antique, a beautiful and unique one will do. Anyway, for those ones who have a passion for coins, I wanna share with you the site on where to buy silver coins. You can check it out anytime since this is an online site. I know a lot of people who are into this kind of passion, and I can understand why they want this so much. It's actually an investment more than a passion or should I say this kind of passion is turning to be an investment. Any which way, to me this is one of the perfect passion to have.

Special Gifts

Lately I always run out of ideas on what to give to friends and loved ones. Did this ever happen to you guys? I find it hard giving a present to someone who I think has everything already. What I normally do on occasions like this is doing DIY stuff. I think of something that I think they will appreciate the make it. But then again I run out of ideas. This made me go online and find something for friends which resulted to me finding this site that sells gifts for your friends anniversary. I found a lot of nice stuff which I have not thought of giving to friends. At last, finding gifts to friends and family is no longer a headache.

Music...

My kids are musically inclined. How come they can't get to master an instrument? My youngest wanted to learn violin, and I did send him to a music school. My eldest wanted to learn guitar, sent her to school too. They are able to play a piece or two but after that they lose interest. Are they distracted or what keeps them from learning? I remember the time when my eldest told me her desire to study guitar. Of course I got excited. I grew up learning an instrument so I want my kids to be the same way too. Anyway, I started asking around for a very good guitar. They all seemed to have a general answer. Why don't you check parker guitars. So I did! Too bad it wasn't available at the country where I'm staying so I got another brand. I am still hoping that they will continue with the desire to learn music. My youngest has expressed his desire to learn the keyboards, so we'll see.

Let's Draw Something

My newest game! I have not even reached the 1M score in Temple Run and here I go with another game. It's ok, I am enjoying it. It gets frustrating sometimes because it's hard to draw with your thumb on a screen as small as the iPhone or the iPod. Anyway, I asked a friend to buy me those stylus available at amazon and hopefully it gets here before I find a new game.

Website I Call My Own

I started blogging in 2005. No, I was not paying for hosting. At that time I knew nothing about it. I had it hosted for free. There came a time though that I wanted my own domain name. I wasn't contented with the free hosted one, not because it's free but like I said I wanted to own it. I realized too that it was very affordable to get paid hosting which has a lot more advantages. It's a good thing I found the best best web hosting company. They were very accommodating with all the questions that I had for them. You see I am clueless with such stuff that I didn't know about it. I asked help from them about migrating my old posts and they gladly assisted me. Whenever I have questions, they are always on the rescue which I really appreciate. All issues on my website were fixed right away. I am really satisfied with their service. This is very important because you need support once in a while especially if you are not familiar with how website works. Now I am very happy with the decision I made a couple of years back. I can definitely say that I am earning more.

Box It Up

Are you moving any time soon? If you are, then let me share with you my experience on moving. I will never do the same mistake again. I didn't hire a mover, we did it on our own. We didn't even have the proper boxes for all the stuff. I know, call me el cheapo and I wouldn't disagree. I have learned my lesson though and I promise never to do the same mistake again. If ever we will move again, I'll make sure that I will order Cheap Moving Boxes for all the stuff that need to be boxed. Yes, there are affordable moving boxes that are available. Don't be like me, I skipped buying boxes thinking it was expensive. I never thought that it could be this cheap. Had I known, I could have avoided breaking a lot of stuff during the move. Not only that, I was forced to fix the house right away because of the things I see everywhere. Can you imagine the stress that I went through. I could have stored some stuff in these boxes for moving and probably put it out later when everything is in proper place. It would have been a very organized move. It helps a lot when it's an organize one because moving itself is already a headache, how much more if it wasn't done properly, right? Like I said, I learned my lesson already. Next time I will not have second thoughts of buying those boxes, anyway I can still use it after the move. It's going to be worth it especially if it's put to good use.

The VLC Player

What multimedia player are you using? Have you come across vlc 2.0 player? Someone shared this with me and I am taking a look at it. I need a player that will everything from MP3 to Blu-ray. I heard it's powerful and fast. I might consider using it if that's the case. I don't like to wait long for stuff to load, I guess nobody wants that. Anyway I learned too that it works well with all the 4 major browsers, 2 of which I am currently using. We'll see if I will like it, but I guess there is no reason not to like it especially if it was given a thumbs up from all the people that have used it.

The Famous Run

Familiar? It should be, it's the coolest game app nowadays and seems like everyone is playing it. It's a bit frustrating that I can't even get a score of 500k, yeah I am a loser, please don't rub it in my face. I don't know why I can't get my mojo back when it comes to vid games and all, I don't play like how I used to 10 years back. I guess you already know the answer to that, right?

Bingo...the game, not a Name.

I miss playing bingo. We used to play it a lot when we were kids. This is usually being played during family reunions. I remember playing it with our neighbors too and there was never a dull moment. I wonder if http://www.bingoboard.org/ offers the same kind of high when you actually play the game. I haven't really tried playing bingo online so I need to read more about it. Does it work the same was as the bingo game I know? I know there is a slight change, but one thing for sure, it's still gonna be a lot of fun. I need to study how this thing works because if ever it's going to be my first time. Add to that the number of years that I have not played. I know some of you do not understand my excitement. But if you get the chance to play, I'm pretty sure that you'll turn up happy just like me. It's a lot of fun and it gets exciting especially when the prize is "big". Now let's visit http://www.bingoboard.org/ and find out more on how to go about it. The game is being offered for free and it's online. This is going to be different compared to the traditional bingo game that we know of, Let us all enjoy and have a good time.

Growing Bag Collection

Bags! Bags! Why can't girls have enough bags? One never gets contented having one or two. Does it really have to be that many? Funny how I question myself about love for bags, lol. Well, I'm a girl after all. Guys do have their own, too so they are not to question us girls, right? Anyway, have you guys heard about western handbags? I came across it online and I found it beautiful and unique. The designs are awesome in fact there's this bag that I am eyeing to have. I still don't have that kind of style in my collection. Shhhhhh, don't tell the husband that I am planning to have one, or else it will give him a reason to spend too.

Our Kindle

Wee! It finally arrived! I asked my cousin to get me and my daughter a Kindle. We are lucky because we had a relative who was scheduled to come home from the US. With this we were able to save a lot. I am still not using it that often, but I will. I need to find time and rehabilitate myself from plaing farmville so that I can do more.

Safety First

How particular can you get when it comes to stuff at home? I am not really very particular with everything, but when it comes to stuff that may cause damage to our house, then I have to pick what is best. I have this tendency to do a bit of research just to make sure that it is safe to use. I'm sure that a lot of people are like me. I'd like to believe that the same goes when someone introduces an item in the market. They think about safety all the time. This is the reason why some business industries use teflon hose. For one, I gathered that it will never corrode thus contamination is far from happening. I believe that there are other more reasons why companies shift to the use of teflon.

Gardening...Please be Good

I love nature, green makes me smile! I grew up in a family who loves nature, plants in particular. The garden in my parents' house is still maintained and it has been more than 30 years. The whole family loves gardening. I remember taking turns with my sibling caring for our plants. We each had our assignment to do. I think our love for plants came from our Dad. He loves gardening a lot and he is a green thumb. My other elder sister took after him. She used to maintain a garden store in the US and it was doing pretty well. Now she does backyard gardening and you will be impressed when you see her garden. She just knows how to fix it. I will need to take a lesson or two from her so that I will be successful in my gardening too. I don't know, but I don't think I am a green thumb. Plants die on me, probably the condition at home too because we don't really have a backyard to begin with. I just do potted gardening. It's a good thing everything is readily available in the world wide web and I found this gardening tips which I can make use when I again attempt to do it.

Snuggie for my Princess

It finally arrived! I asked my sisters to get it for me because no one is selling it here. I know, and I understand that. You might wonder why my daughter likes it. She feels cold all the time. She wears a hoodie when she goes to sleep, weird, right? But that's how she is. Anyway she'll be using that snuggie whenever we go on road trips. Just between you and me, I caught her wearing it while watching telly on a full blast a/c :P

Perfect Tee

I am a jeans and tee person and I am telling you now that I really love it. You won't see me wear dresses that often, but I try my best to shift once in a while. I don't know if I look good when I wear dresses and skirts, but I try to look pretty. I am most comfortable though when I wear a t-shirt. I don't have a particular brand but I see to it that what I buy is the durable one. I am also fond of wearing statement tees like this distro t-shirt I found online. It's a head turner all by itself. I think this is part of the kaos clothing line being sold online. I want to get one for myself, but I don't really know if they ship internationally. I still have to go through their faq to be able to get answers to my questions.

Always Available When You Need it Most

Ever since the husband shifted to e-cig, I always see him looking for rechargeable batteries. I know it's a small thing, but the frequency of his search does not go unnoticed. He even discusses it with me and asks for opinion. I don't know if in your household you use a lot of batteries. In mine I don't want to run out coz it's really frustrating especially if you need it so bad and you don't have a spare one. I've learned my lesson and actually started using rechargeable. It's always within reach if needed.

Shopping Fund

Oh my...this is there reason why I hate going to fashion websites. I always end up salivating on something. Grrrrr...hopefully it won't give me sleepless nights. Haha I can over react sometimes, but that is the most exciting part. Anyway I'm starting to put up a fund for stuff that I like. I will be needing a container to put whatever savings I have for that particular thing that I want. Well it can be an emergency fund too whenever needed. What do you say to this? Ok, let's get started. I saw this easy spirit sandals online and there's this item that I want to have. It sounds silly if I'll be putting up a fund for that, after all it's very affordable. I will find something else to salivate...oh the B bag that I badly want. I know it's gonna take a lifetime to save up for it, but why not, right?

Beautiful Eyes

I was contemplating on having eyelash extension for a while now. I finally did it last week and I like it. It felt heavy on the first few hours, but I got used to it right away. What I'm not used to until now is the fact that I need to be careful when washing my face, otherwise it's going to fall off. Recommended touch up is every two weeks. I need to be more careful if I don't want to go on weekly touch ups which will really be pricey.

I Have a History

I've been reading a lot of stuff lately and I normally do it online. I'm glad that almost everything is readily available with just a few clicks. Health related topics is one of my favorite articles to read. Ok I admit, I am scared of so many things especially when it comes to my well-being and that of my family. Health wise, one can really never be healthy. This is just my opinion so don't kill me, ok? One way or another we find something wrong with our system. It's probably due to our food intake. It's fun to eat so there is a tendency to overlook the kind of food we eat. My family has a history of hypertension so I am definitely a candidate of a rising blood pressure. Now I am looking into this l-arginine for blood pressure , I might consider making this part of my diet. I want to lower the risk of a heart attack or a stroke at least if I can't completely eliminate it. It's prevention on my part. I still have kids to raise and I can afford to die soon. I know I sound crazy but what the heck, I am just taking care of myself. You know what I am happy about now? I learned that prices have reduced tremendously, and this means only one thing, a lot of people can benefit from this.

I Want a Body Pillow!

I want a body pillow so bad. People, you hear me? I want that for my birthday. If someone is generous enough to give it to me even if it's not yet my birthday, then I'd be glad. I just sooooooo want it. Now I am imagining having a good night's rest with this pillow. This is going to be my lullaby since it cradles you in comfort from head to toe. I don't mind paying for it too coz I can't wait 'til my birthday!

Next Project

I just got my Mac Mini and this will be my next project. I need to start saving up for it. Time to think twice about all those unnecessary spendings so that I will be able to purchase this in no time. Now I'm starting to think about the time when I started having an online job, it was awesome. Offers keep coming and in figures I never imagined. Those times are long gone but I still earn online. The difference is that before I can purchase whatever I want in more or less 5 writing jobs, but now it takes a hundred years before I can do so.

I have a friend who owns one and she says it's simply the best. Now it makes me want to change my current unit, what do you think?

Cool Stuff for Trade Shows

We used to do bridal fairs a couple of years back. I wish I had discovered these Trade show display cases because this can really be put to good use. I just know that this is what we need. We could have saved more space for the people to freely move, yes our booth was always full. I'm not bragging but yeah we had lots of clients when we first started. It's just sad that the husband does not want to do any of this anymore. I think he got tired and wants to try out other stuff. Being the supportive wife (ahem) that I am, I will try and encourage him to do good in whatever new endeavor he wants to go into.

Officially Sick!

I was already a bit sick when we left for Baguio about 4 days ago. We only stayed there for 2 nights and it made me more sick. I thought my cough and colds would go away coz I was already taking meds for it. But lo and behold it got worse that I don't need to buy firecrackers for the New Year. Ewwww I know but what better way to describe my cough but that :D

Anyway, we enjoyed our Baguio trip. It was stress-free. I'd love to do this yearly in fact we already agreed that we'd do it every after Christmas. We don't really get to travel that much as a family so this is pretty much a welcome treat.

We Love Music

I was just talking about how I loved music when I was younger and that I think my kids took that after me. Both of them have made known their desire to learn an instrument or two. They already started and I am just waiting for the next instrument they want to learn. I think I see the daughter more interested in the Yamaha Drums while my boy is pretty much into strings. But I can also see that he wants to play the drums. I wish the husband played even one instrument. It would be a wonderful bonding time with all of us playing an instrument each.

Golf Course GPS

GPS goes to the golf course. Isn't that cool? If you want to have one, maybe you can get hold of the golf gps finder which I heard is one of the best. GPS in itself is already cool and I can't get over the fact that it can be used in a golf game. Wow! Talking about accuracy and all. This will probably give you the edge over other players if you have one. I wonder if every player has this one and if it's even an must have. Sorry I don't know the answer to that since none of us play golf. You can probably tell me, right?

A Hospital Scene

I recently watched this series on television (sorry the title escapes me at the moment)and there's this scene that caught my attention. It was actually a hospital scene and I couldn't help but wonder if we have it. I have not been too many hospitals here but with the 2 hospitals that we often go to, I have not seen them use computer carts. I find it cool and this is probably the reason why I particularly remember that scene. It's so convenient too, with just a few clicks everything can be recorded and retrieved. Anyway, I will let you guys know if we have it here already or vice versa.

Lucky Me!

I love it when F21 goes on sale. This one was not announced though. I didn't have any idea that they were having it. I just happened to meet with N at Megamall and I couldn't let the opportunity of checking F21 pass. I wasn't planning on buying either but how can you resist a double 50% off, right? Yes some items were sold at 50% plus another 50% off when you pay at the counter. Not only that items sold at 50% off get another item, so it's buy 1 take 1. Oh sheeesh, am I making sense? Anyway I got that skirt and a swimwear top for a little over P200 only. What a great deal! I wish they had more items that was on sale though. I know I am asking for too much :P

The Smell of Coffee Wakes Me Up

I used to go to Starbucks a lot for my coffee, but then I realized that it leaves a hole in my pocket. That's when I decide to purchase my own coffee maker. I am happy to say that I am one of the proud owners of these krups coffee makers. It's so easy to use and I can say it's durable too. I had mine for more than 5 years now and it's working just fine. I can say too that it will last another 5 years and even beyond. This is something to look forward to, imagine waking up in the mornings to a house that smells good coffee, simply the best!

The Everyday Scrub

Wow! I see a lot of nurses everyday, not! Relax, it's just that I see a lot of people wearing nursing scrubs. It's no longer confined to nurses this days. I don't have anything against it and I can't blame the spa people for deciding to use those scrubs too, it's comfortable. I myself have used it for sleeping instead of the traditional jammies, like I said it's comfy. So there, that's probably the reason why not only nurses sport the scrubs nowadays. One more thing, have you noticed that it comes in different colors already? Boring white is now out of the question.

I Want an iPhone, Shouts Everyone

With the latest ios update which allows one to use the iMessage (this is similar to BBM), a lot are asking, where can I buy iphone? I can understand why almost all want to get a hold of an iPhone. I was one of them and I am waiting and wanting an upgrade. But I don't think I'll get the current upgrade, I'll just probably wait for iPhone5 to come out. When is that you ask? Real soon, you know how the apple people come out with products. Sometimes I can't catch up anymore. Do you feel the same way?

Let's iMessage

I have another form of communication with my online bff. Online because we still haven't met in person. But even if that is the case, we still treat each other like we are blood sisters. I think I've known her since 2006 or 2007 via blogging. I stumbled upon her site and left a comment. From then on there's no stopping of our friendship. I am so looking forward to meeting her and her family probably next year. Just thinking about it makes me excited!

What Do you Think, Mom?

I find my daughter cute. She's very thoughtful especially to the bf. She inherited that trait from me. I don't know but I think girls are generally thoughtful. Recently she asked for suggestions regarding the gift for boyfriend birthday. She mentioned a few items which she thinks the bf would like. Sometimes I would go, I think that is too expensive, remember you don't have work yet. Yes, I can tell her those things after all we have a very close relationship. Besides what I'm saying is exactly correct. Why spend on things which you can't afford just yet? I think the bf would understand.

Photos Ready to be Shown

I have so much photos of the family to share. It's all stored here in my computer. Question is when can I have the time to upload everything? Just thinking about it makes me go lazy already. But no, photos as intended to be shared. Maybe I should create a slide show of all the wonderful photos I have and post it on Facebook for all my friends and loved ones to see. Yeah, I think I'll do that. I have to limit my game time though and really put effort on putting all these photos together.

Hunting for a Job?

I just learned from the news that more and more people are getting jobless nowadays. Blame it on the economy, some businesses are not making good. My heart goes to those who just lost their jobs especially those ones who have mouths to feed. Anyway, let me share with you in case you get interested. I have learned that there are Desk Clerk Jobs available for you to grab. Why don't you try sending your resume? At this point in time where everyone else is out there job hunting, this is already a great opportunity for you. Who knows, that job is really for you.

Keeping the Dust Away

I have been looking for these plastic shoe boxes for ages already. I know, there are a lot of plastic shoe boxes in the home section of every mall, but then the price is always in consideration. Can you imagine if those shoe boxes were priced at P200 each. No way I can afford to pay for it. Anyway, I found those shoe boxes in SM and was very reasonably priced at P125 for 2. That's because it's buy 1 take 1. I could have gotten more, but that was what (40 boxes) I can afford at that time. I want to buy 20 more boxes and I am hoping that it is still on sale. And I also need some more silica gel to put inside the box to help absorb the moisture.

"Sit Rover" - Training your Dog The Right Way

If you own a dog, you probably already realize exactly how pleasurable it can be. When a dog is incorporated into the family properly, they become much more than a simple pet and in many cases, they become a valued member of the family. Unfortunately, there are also problems that can occur from time to time when you own an animal and it can make it difficult for everyone that is involved. It is not only the family that suffers when a dog is lacking in training, it is also the dog which suffers as well. That is why it is so important for you to make sure that the dog is trained properly, and you are able to do that with the right dog training services. It does not matter if you live in Alaska or Nappa, dog training services can be found almost anywhere.

One of the things that you will quickly learn about most dog training services is the fact that they do not ascribe to a one-size-fits-all model. Your dog is going to have specific needs, just as you have specific needs and they usually acknowledge that from the start. Comprehensive, in-home training programs give you everything that is necessary to make sure that your dog is well-balanced and behaves properly. This typically results in a very positive experience for everyone that is involved, so there are usually several different choices of dog training which can work for anyone. This includes puppy training, training that is specific to any problems that you may be experiencing and occasional tune-ups, which will really help to keep you and your dog working together to your mutual benefit.

It's Rare

I'm not really sure if there are still coin collectors nowadays. Do they still exist? I'm sorry but I don't know anyone who collects coins. My FIL had coins and he gave us 1 each but I don't consider him as a collector. Anyway the reason why I am asking is because I recently came across these morgan dollar coins over the internet. Based on what I read, these are rare coins simply because they produced very limited supply. So if you are one of those who are into coins, I think you should get one of these. I don't know really, but yeah can you please let me know if what I am thinking is right? You know better than I do.

Hot Wheels

What's with men and cars particularly wheels? When the husband has a new car, first thing he does is change the wheels. Nope, he can't settle what goes with the car and that I don't really understand. So what I did that time was search the internet so that I would know the difference between what's stock and what he actually prefers. Then I found 2 crave wheels. At first I didn't see any difference. Don't shoot me, I'm a girl after all. I had to ask him and he explained every detail which I seem to understand. When I looked at it again, at least I can now spot the difference.

Not that Stick-Thin

I got really excited when I came across safe diet pills while surfing the net. I seriously need one. I've been going religiously to the gym for 2 years now and it seems like nothing is happening. It's more like calorie in and out. I really need to control my food intake, otherwise nothing will happen. But how do I do that? I really do not have any idea, an appetite suppressant perhaps? I've actually started snacking on raw almonds, hopefully it will always keep me full. I also bought some tea that will help to suppress my appetite, so wish me luck?

Perfect for my Brows

Woot! I finally found the perfect eyebrow pencil or is it even a pencil? They sell those at Faceshop. I frequent that shop, but it's the first time that I've seen that product. I am happy that they came up with one since I have been in search for the perfect match for my brows.

I also love the fact that it has a spoolie at the other end. Very useful indeed since it blends the harsh lines created by the pencil. Just a little upward motion and you are all set to go! I bought only one but I need to buy some more since the "lead" is just about 2 inches. I normally do my brows everyday. I need to remind myself to stock up otherwise I would really feel bad if the store runs out.

Celebrating Halloween

It's gonna be Halloween again in October. Have you decided what you want to become that day? I am not into this kind of stuff anymore since my kids have grown, and they aren't either. But for those ones who still get excited come Halloween, there are sexy bunny outfits for you to wear. Don't get me wrong but really, it's decent. It's nothing like what you think. It's cute and there are a lot of costumes to choose from. I could see myself wearing one if only Halloween is big here in this country. But who knows I might get invited to some Halloween celebration.

Meeting the Lil Fella Soon

I'm really very happy that finally my niece is having a baby. They have been trying to have one for a couple of years already but have not been successful. Now I can imagine the happiness everyone feels for them. They are very excited and so are the relatives and loved ones. A few more months to wait and Christening Invitations will be sent out. I'm sure it's going to be grand since they have waited for this for a very long time. This makes everyone excited already. But of course we are more excited to meet the little fella more than anything else.

Entrance Exam Season

I brought my son to UP Diliman today. He was scheduled to take the UPCAT. He was a bit worried and didn't have enough confidence. I just told him to do his best. It was a 4-hour examination, and he said it was very hard. He left items he didn't know, no room for guessing he says. I asked him if he was sure about his answers, and he said he was 90 percent sure. Thing is he left a lot of items blank too, so I don't really know his chance of passing. If you ask me how come he left a lot of items blank, it's because it's right minus wrong. No wild guesses here, only educated guesses, he says. I am still hoping though that he makes it, who knows, right?

Finally... E Cig for Him

After 30 years the husband finally quit smoking! It was actually through my initiative, but boy did I have a hard time. I have asked him countless times, he'd quit but only for a day or two. Then I saw this counter where they sell e cig. I noticed that every time I pass by that area, there are always lots of people. I got curious, so I checked. Little did I know that this would be the start of it. I bought him his first e cig and there was no turning back. What I am expecting from him now is to lower the number of milligrams in the "juice". Hopefully it'll be 0 in no time.

Scorching Heat

I heard that summer in the US is really terrible this time. They are experiencing heat wave. Everybody is complaining, I read it in status updates in Facebook, in Twitter and even when I talk with my siblings. It must really be hot, and nobody likes scorching heat, right? I asked them if their Ductless Air conditoners are working fine and they said yes. I guess it must really be that hot. Now they are all looking forward to winter. Well this means only one thing, they'd choose winter over heat wave. Poor people in America. But you know what's funny? Kids seem to enjoy the heat. None of them are complaining in fact they are still out there doing their own thing and enjoying summer. And maybe when they feel the heat, they would come rushing inside their houses and turn on the mini split air conditioner they have. It gives some relief I tell you. This is the reason why I have ductless air conditioner which has an Energy Star Approval installed in each room. I think it's a must for every household living in the tropics...well only if one can afford to buy it and of course to pay for the electricity. But I have rules when it comes to the use of it. I only allow them to use when it's really very hot, otherwise I tell them to just settle using the electric fan. But at nights we really turn it on so that everyone will be well rested. Hhmm, this gives me an idea, why not buy one that has inverter next time so that electric consumption will be lessened. With this, maybe I can extend the use of the a/c. It's nice to start the day when you feel that you have slept really well.

3d This Time

It was nail decals the other time, now it's 3d stickers. Yeah I am fond of dressing up my nails. You seldom see me without it. Thank God my nails don't get yellowish or something, it's probably because I mostly use imported polishes (no pun intended). We just started on a project, we will be buying new colors each week so that it wouldn't cause a hole in the pocket. I'd rather buy my own than spend P80 on top of the regular price for a maniped when you choose to use imported nail polish. Then we are going to build our colors, yipee! If you only know the joy we have whenever we look at our growing collection.

Not Just Eyewear

When my kids were in elementary, I made a friend with one of Moms in school. You see I used to frequent the school a lot especially on lunch breaks because I bring them freshly cooked food every time. Apparently, this Mom I made friends with does the same. We became close and eventually became very good friends. She is an optometrist by profession and her clinic is just near the school. I used to spend a lot of time in her clinic while waiting for the kids to be dismissed. It was there that I was introduced to Oakley products. I was exposed to their eyewear collection more, truth be told. I wasn't really aware that they had more stuff like these oakley bags. You see I am not really a mall person and if ever I go to the malls I go straight to the shops where I am suppose to buy the things that I need. I seldom go around because it's kinda tiring if you know what I mean. Anyway, going back to their bag collection, they do have a large array of bags. I think every bag that we need, they have it in their collection. I had a nice time browsing through their collection. At least I know what brand to buy whenever I need a specialty bag. I do have one in mind already at its the carry on roller bag. I think I'll be needing it for travels. It's the perfect size actually. Then I'm gonna try and save up for the medium and large ones. And there's a large collection of oakley backpacks to choose from too. I wonder if my boy would prefer using backpacks this time. I think he should since he'll be in college soon. I see a lot of college students use backpacks whenever I bring my eldest daughter to school. When we spot a really nice one, my daughter and I would really wonder what brand it is. Then we'd secretly wish to have it in our bag collection...not that we have too many. But yeah, girls just can't get enough bags and shoes too for that matter. I just don't know with other girls who are not into it, but I'm pretty sure they are into something else. But seriously, why can't girls have enough bags and shoes? Is it really that insatiable? And there's one more silly question...is it hereditary? I think my daughter inherited such a trait (trait?) nah, I think it's more of liking from me.

The Perfect Gift for Mom

Ladies are not really known as gadgets people. That does not hold true now. I would like to think that it's equal. Women love gadgets as much as men do. Whatever gadget my husband has, I have it too, or at least I know how to operate it. I'm no longer ignorant on its operation and all, gone are those days! Anyway, the reason I am mentioning this is to give you an idea on what to get your Mom on Mother's Day. I'd vote for electronics. I know she will be happy getting one. Now I remember seeing this infomercial about a really old lady enjoying her gadget. It's the joy on her face that is really priceless.

The Game of Golf

I barely understand golf so I really don't quite get why a lot of people are into golf nowadays. They say it's very interesting and very fulfilling. I think that part I can understand simply because I see it in peoples' faces every time they're done with the game. There was a point that I read about the game since I heard it can get interesting and really relaxing. I gathered that a golf putter set can help make or break the game. It is very important to have the best set since it is designed to give the player an advantage. I wonder which putter is really the best. I think I need to ask the help of a professional golfer so that I would really know which are the popular ones.

DIY: Nail Decals

Perfect! I finally know how to do it properly after the first try. I no longer have to go to the nail salon just to have it done. Yes, I am still the undisputed queen of DIY stuff. I am not ashamed to tell you that in fact if I tell you how much I save on stuff that I can do myself, then you'd probably do the same. No it does not cause stress, in fact DIY stuff is a stress-buster for me. It gives me satisfaction that I am able to do things on my own.

Then Importance of Ankle Support

I am almost injured! My moves are very restricted now and I don't like it. I should have listened to my friends when they suggested wearing something for support when I first started with my fitness routine. Now I know what to do. Lessons are really learned the hard way. Anyway, my son wants to learn basketball. He started last summer. I was happy when he told me he wanted to learn. I want my son to have his own fitness routine, something to keep him in shape. Now that he has chosen this sport, I will let him wear ankle support basketball. I don't want him to hurt his ankles. I've seen a lot of boys hurt their ankles and I think this is the number one injury when you play basketball because it involves a lot of jumping. But be very careful though when you choose what support to wear, pick one that fits comfortably, one that will not restrict your movements when you start playing.

Stainless for your Kitchen

How often do you plan home projects? Do you wait until the stuff in your house get destroyed? I won't be surprised if you do because I am like that, I wait 'til stuff gets broken before replacing it. Anyway, if you are on a kitchen project, I want you to take a look at these stainless steel kitchen sinks. Are you aware that most people use stainless already? I am using stainless steel kitchen sink and you can barely notice the scratches. It looks very simple in my kitchen which I really like. I want an elaborate yet very simple kitchen. I know you find me silly for saying this, but yeah you can make it that way, trust me.

Nail Decal

I am into nail decals nowadays. At first I found it hard to put but I managed doing my right. I almost gave up, but then it looked nice on my nails so I kept trying until I made it right. Now I have perfect nailart, but I still want freehand nailart. Yeah I will do it once in a while or probably do it alternately.

GPS To Help Us Around

I noticed that small vans are not being used by couriers anymore. Normally motorcycles deliver the packages I order online. Is this one of the reasons why you see motorcycles everywhere? I think it is one of the most convenient transport we have. Aside from that, it does not use much gasoline either. I wonder if they use motorcycle gps to bring them around. It's hard getting lost in the metro because you will not be able to reach your quota for the day. Everyone is not really familiar with the streets especially if you are new in this kind of job.

Queen of the House

I've been talking about my kitchen countless times already. I hope you don't get bored by what I am about to share with you. I am so proud of myself for helping put together our house. I wasn't really able to help financially, but in one way or another I can say that I have helped a lot. I helped the husband choose some stuff that we put in this house. But he really left me to decide on the kitchen, my turf. Anyway, it's a good thing that he approved of what I picked from these undermount kitchen sinks. He agreed and gave approval of my choice. If you are wondering what it is, this is the undermount kitchen sink that I used. It's the right size for my kitchen and I'm glad I didn't make a mistake of choosing it. It's very basic and it's all I need.

BB Girl

I'm going to finally have my BB tomorrow. I'm glad the husband got it for me in UAE. It's a good thing I waited, I was able to save a few bucks. I'm already excited because I learned from the daughter that the unit is really awesome. She says I'm going to enjoy it. But she warned me though that I shouldn't be like Sarah Palin who uses her BB all the time as told by one of her daughters. I know I'm gonna be like her but only for a month I guess. That really isn't too much to ask, right?

Domesticated Me

I consider myself domesticated. I love taking care of the household. I usually see to it that I am able to provide everything. I see to it too that everything is in order. If something needs repair, I make sure right away that it's going to be done. I love buying stuff for the house too. If the budget doesn't permit, I try to save money so that next time I can buy it. I'm usually the one taking care of household stuff. If you happen to see some of these undermount sinks at home, it's because I chose it over those elaborate ones. I want mine functional according to my needs. This undermount sink is what I have at home. So far it has served its purpose. How about you, how do you like buying stuff for your house? Do you get to enjoy going to home depots and scout for things that you need?

Scouting for a New Mobile

I plan to get a mobile phone for my birthday. I haven't really decided yet which to get. There are a lot of nice mobile phones available and I have to get to know them first before buying. I haven't done any browsing lately, so I am not updated with the latest units. But I heard though that samsung gravity is good. It has both a touchscreen and keyboard. It's actually the keyboard that is appealing to me so I think I would consider it. Price-wise, it's also affordable. I have a samsung unit and I am satisfied with it, so this is one thing to be considered too.

I Hit Something!!!

It hurts! Means only one thing, I gave my all. Wait, before you think of anything else, I got this from Muay Thai. My instructor has a way of getting all my strength to punch. It's only my second session, so I don't really know how it will turn out. Someone suggested that I apply cold and hot compress, yeah I think I will do that, if not I'm afraid I won't be able to do 3rd session.

Medicare Assistance

How hard is it to decide on a Medicare coverage? I really don't have an idea since our medicare in this part of the globe is not as extensive as the one in the USA or any first world countries. But I have learned that it is important for a person to find the right coverage, one that suits his need. Now how do you do that? Most people ask for assistance from people in the know. They say that it's time consuming going through all of it and yet the coverage they need is not met. But these people who are experts when it comes to this field can give you the right coverage and can also tackle your Medicare part D plan. To me this is very important since whatever sickness you'll have will be dependent on the prescription drugs you will take.

It's a Responsibility

When I was newly married, I really didn't think about what's going to happen in the future. But when I started having kids, I started worrying too. I don't know if this is a natural thing, maybe it is because I am not the only one feeling this way. Children really make a lot of difference. They make us think about getting life insurance, it's actually some sort of a security for them. We won't live forever so it's actually favorable if as early as now we protect the financial well-being of the family. Now if you are interested in getting one, it's available online. All you need to do is browse the internet and see which policy suit your needs. It's as easy as that!

Proud Campbell Owner

I can't believe I now own a pair. I made a reservation at The Forum (SM Makati) several months ago. I left my name and contact number and the style I intend to buy. I never got a call from them. When I asked them about it, they said that probably the sales person wasn't able to put my name on the list. Ok, forgiven. Forgiven because even if my name wasn't on the list, they still accommodated me. They gave me the Lita (black) that I asked them to reserve for me. Thank you very much.

I love the shoes, it's sky-high alright, but it's very comfortable, not at all ill-fitting. You know that it's really worth paying for the price. Surprisingly it's even cheaper to buy it here in the Philippines, I wonder why. Is is probably because Philippines holds a special place in Jeffrey's heart?

So How Tall Are You?

The husband has just wrapped up his photo shoot for a magazine. This is not really the first time that I've seen tall people but it seems like they get taller and taller everyday. These batch of models are really tall and they are very young. I wonder if they were given hgh releaser. Sometimes I wish I was as tall as them or even half as tall. I know, I am wishing for the impossible since I am past the age already. Well my kids have a few years left for them to grow tall, so maybe I'll just wish for them, teehee!

Bucket for the Daughter

I finally finished the bucket hat that my daughter requested. If you notice part of the crown has a different color, it's because I ran out of yarn. I couldn't find the color that I used anymore so it left me no choice but to pick the closest color. It looks strange, half of the crown looks dirty including the brim. Hopefully the crown with the light color won't be seen when worn. Tsk, I failed in this project.

Dog Stuff

Big dogs, small dogs, it does not matter anymore. I see them around all dressed up. I say it's cute because it really is. They turn a lot of heads. I guess it all started when this movie about dogs getting dressed was shown. Sorry the title escapes me at the moment. It was in that movie where I saw unique dog collars. As a lot of people would term it as, to die for. I wonder if the dogs feel the same way, hehe. You'd really be surprised how dog lovers want to dress up their pets nowadays. There are different kinds of collars you see nowadays, from the traditional ones to pimped ones. I love collars pimped with gems in different colors. It gives the dog a certain character. Oh, I don't know if you are familiar with Martingale dog collars, I heard it's durable and comfortable. I need to get one for our shih tzu. This reminds me to bring my dog for grooming too. The grooming salon probably carries that brand. Diego, our GSD needs to have a new collar too. I wish they have one I like from these big dog collars. I want his collar pimped too. I think it's cute, a big dog with a collar that is filled with gems in different colors. Don't be deceived though, he is still tough as he can be.

Protect Your Business

Calling all business owners, do you know that your businesses get covered? Normally persons get insured and not your business. But with keyman insurance they offer just that. There are a lot of reasons why you should get insurance for your business. You can protect your business from loss of profits and revenues. If you want to know more about it, you can probably do more readings and study what they offer. Their insurance is catered according to the needs of your business.

More Knitting

You'll see me knit more starting today. I don't know if I can hold on to that promise. But as it is, it gives me no choice really. This is what I will be doing while waiting for my son get out of review class. I am his designated driver all the time and I don't want to waste my time (4.5 hours) doing nothing. So there, now you know why I don't have any choice. Actually I was the one who decided to knit instead of going to some internet cafe doing farmville.

Read Reviews

I see wellness and beauty promoted all over. This only means one thing, people are getting conscious each day. Everybody wants to look young, pretty and sexy. I myself have started doing fitness simply because I want to improve my lifestyle. I do want to lose all those unwanted weight too so I'm burning it out in the gym. Some people resort to diet pills. I am not against it but then again one has to be careful when taking it. Claims may not be true at all so if I were you I would go and check www.adipexdietpills.org and all those sites that does reviews of these diet pills. You may pick a thing or two, or better yet before you decide to take on anything, a doctor must be consulted.

She Needs Power Heat Soon

I wonder if my sister had her heater fixed already. I know it's going to be summer soon and there is really no use for a heater. Well I just remembered that she is suppose to have it fixed because while going through some websites in the internet, I came across this infrared heater. Then I suddenly remembered, did she have it fixed or did she just buy a portable one? I still have not asked her. I haven't talked with her yet (skype) and hopefully I don't forget to ask her when I get the chance.

My New Pair of Adidas

I'd like to thank my SIL for this nice pair of Adidas training shoes. This was her Mother's Day gift to me. I bought it in Hong Kong when we went there a last week. Whenever I'm there, I see to it that I bring home a pair. The styles there are more beautiful in my opinion. There are even styles that do not come out here in the Philippines like the pair I bought a couple of months back (November). Oh did you notice my nail polish? It matches my shoes. This is OPI's Shatter. It's cool!

Dad's Favorite Sport

We are celebrating Father's Day this June. I miss my Dad so much. I have accepted the fact the he has gone to be with the Lord. It's been 5 years already. I am a certified Daddy's girl and everyone in the family knows that. They would tease me alright, but I know they are never jealous of me.

Anyway, one thing I miss about Dad is the time spent playing ping pong. He was the one who taught us how to play ping pong. He was a champion when it comes to this game. He would always practice at home so that he can defend his title every time there is a tournament in their office. I see ping pong tables being set-up at their office whenever there is a game. I would gladly watch and was always proud whenever Dad wins. Yes, he is that good in ping pong. I wonder why none of us kids went into this sports?

Mobile Phone Watching

My daughter and I have this habit of observing what kind of cellphones people use in every country that we visit. Not that we've been to many countries, but we already have an idea what each country go for in terms of usage and style. I can't help but notice that a lot of people in Hong Kong are using htc virgin. You can also find it in most stores. I did a little reading about this mobile phone and I gathered that the speed is really good. It also has a high resolution camera and a high definition video recorder. You can actually get by even without your camera and video camera.

Mother's Day at Hong Kong Disneyland

I spent Mother's Day at Hong Kong Disneyland with the kids. To make it more memorable, they dared me to ride the space mountain. I've been to HK Disney twice already and they never got me to ride. With too much prodding, I agreed even if I really do not know whether I'd survive it. Surprisingly it felt good and I'd do it over and over again. It wasn't as bad as I thought. The turns and drops were awesome, it added more excitement to the ride. It was a smooth ride too and IMO it won't cause any neck injury. So yeah, I rode the space mountain and I survived!

Reviews on Supplements

I guess almost all who go to the gym take supplements one way or another. I am actually talking about people who lift weights. I guess majority of them do, although I do not know which particular brand they take. I do not know too which brands are effective so if you ask me about tren xtreme I really do not know what to answer. But you know what, there are dozens of reviews about the product so if I were you if you are really interested in taking it, might as well read whatever you can find on the internet. That's what I actually do whenever I am interested in a product.

Oh now I remember! Yes we actually have a Banner stand. I don't need to buy a new one or even borrow. I wonder if the husband remembers where he stored them. He actually used it during one of the bridal fairs we used to join. He has to find it by hook or by crook because I will be needing it very soon. A special occasion is coming up and that banner stand will come in handy. I have a cute idea I need to share and this will make the celebrant cherish her special day more.

Good Luck!

I started on this thing two weeks ago. Yes I was serious back then, but I don't know what happened. I was religious for 4 days and after that, it got crazy. We were invited to a simple birthday dinner, then we had a holiday somewhere where it required to eat much, just kidding. I was just justifying what I did. So there, first try was not a success. Today, I started with it again and hopefully I will be able to do so until day 14. Good luck to me.

The Electronic Age

I'm thinking of a wonderful project. I have lots of photos that I need to scan, back from my childhood days up the present. I want to convert this photos to electronic ones so that if anything happens to it, I have a copy. I also plan to make an online album so I can share it with my friends and loved ones. I guess I need a scanner software for this. It will not be limited to photos only but I can actually convert it to a business. Double purpose, eh. Most companies will be needing this, and I'll probably start offering my services to small companies. I think it will be a welcome idea to them, converting paper files to electronic files.

Everything You Need to Know

I was looking for a particular product online, lo and behold, I saw a lot of beauty products. Some I've seen and heard for the first time, some I've used a few years back and the rest I only see in the pages of a magazine. I am delighted having found it online, at least it's easier to look for it since I've bookmarked the page. I also like the part where they do a review of the product. They do it extensively in such a way that everything else you need to know is already being answered or discussed.

I hate myself for missing the deal. Imagine 10 sessions of Zumba for only P1,000. Yeah I am not kidding, no wonder it was sold out right away. Do you know how much 10 sessions cost now? Man it's P3,500. I hate myself for missing such a great deal. Now where was I when that was happening? Darn English Countryside, darn Farmville. Maybe I was too engrossed in my farm to have missed it. Grrrr. I think I will just have to wait for another deal to come.

Camera Reviews

Just yesterday while having lunch, I asked the husband about this certain camera which has been the talk of the town lately. He wasn't that familiar with it, because I gave it it's alternative name. Anyway the first thing he did when I asked him was to go to digital camera reviews so he can explain to me why that camera is getting raves. Learning from him the details of the camera, it made me want to own one. But I have to put it aside first because I have other things in mind which I guess is more important. The camera can wait, anyway the one I have is still functioning well and I am satisfied with its performance.

That Special Event

Awww, the daughter is past HS prom age. She's now in college. I'm glad she was able to experience going the the prom although their school never had one. Never in it's history I tell you. Why? I really do not know. She considers it lucky that she was able to go. I know that prom she went to has become a very special event, I am not telling you why. Anyway, I came up with something like these prom dresses for her to wear. She looked like a princess, very pretty in her orange gown. I still remember that night. She was stunning, even I can't take my eyes off her. She was a head turner that evening, but no she didn't win a special award. But to me she will always be a winner.

She's Gonna Drive Soon

I accompanied the daughter today to get her driver's license. We went to LTO Tayuman. We got there quite late so there were lots of people already. I'm glad I went with her. I learned a lot of things which I normally take for granted. A lot of things became clearer now, which to my opinion everyone should know before going out on the streets. I admit, I don't know half of what those signs mean, especially those ones that I don't encounter everyday. At least now I know. The one who gave the lecture at LTO Tayuman was effective. Kudos to him.

Condo Living

Even if how much I want some modern furnishings at home,I just can't at the moment. It would just be off, our interior wasn't made for modern stuff. Well that is just my opinion. But this does not stop me from dreaming that one day I can still have one of these Modern Dining Tables, probably at my second home, a condo unit perhaps. It's free to dream, right? But I have a strong feeling that someday I will have it, if not one of my children. I know they want something modern. They can always Buy Dining Furniture since they can't have what we have right now. It's just not fit for condo living. Hhhmmm, I'm not really sure if they'd go for condo living but sometimes they do talk about it. Question is, will they get used to it? We have a closely knit family so I doubt they will be on their own if they are not married yet. But if time will come that they want to be on their own, I will allow them provided I can see that they are responsible enough to be away from us. Anyway, going back to what we are talking about, even if these Modern Bar Stools don't fit our house, I still want to have one or two of it. I will make it blend, after all it's not impossible to do those things nowadays.

So Who's Getting Married?

I know of some people who are getting married early next year. As early as now, they are already preparing. I know, you'll say it's too early. But didn't you know that it is the trend nowadays to really prepare early, like a year in advance? Yeah that's how it is contrary to my preparation of six months when I got married. There are a lot of changes happening too that made me think, I should have gotten married this year. Anyway, I am just wondering if the couples I know have chosen their Wedding Bands already. I probably have to ask them the next time I see them. I will mention to them that I found this website called 25karats.com. They have awesome looking wedding bands that are customizable. I myself would choose a customizable one too, of course according to what I desire.

Anyway since I mentioned this site that I found online, let me share with you that they have a wide array of Engagement Rings to choose from. I went through some of it and I was salivating, you know what that means already, right? Hhhmmm, I still have my chance of owning one. My wedding anniversary is on August and we are on our 19th year already. I think I deserve one of these Anniversary Rings. Nineteen years is nineteen years, not all can celebrate 19 years of being together.

Building Our House

The thing that I enjoyed the most when we were building our house was to scout for fixtures. Although I already have a idea in mind, most often than not I can't decide because of all the beautiful things that I see. I keep changing my mind on the things that I want. For one, I had a hard time choosing the lights that we were going to use. I can't decide which of these chandeliers would look good in the living room and which would look nice at the dining room. It's a good thing, it was the husband who decided which one to get and I couldn't agree more with what he picked.

I Can See You from a Distance

I am enjoying every bit of my time with my sisters in the United States. We seldom talk before because of the high cost of overseas calls. My Mom has her special time with them too and we are so thankful that internet made it possible. What makes it all the more special is the chance to get to see each other even via the web cam. When you avail of the Conference call services you can get to talk and see each other all at the same time. A conference web call can hold up to 100 participants which companies can benefit from. Internet age is so awesome that impossible things 10 years ago is made possible now.

Cheeky Smiley

The husband and I decided to go up to Baguio for it's annual Panagbenga Festival. It was a first for me and I can say that it's a nice experience. We had a pleasant ride from Manila to Baguio and it took us about 4 hours to get there. We stayed at City Travel Hotel (that was the only available hotel that was not booked yet). We didn't have much choice because it was a late decision. The husband can't make up his mind. Anyway, he told me that in the next Panagbenga, we will stay for two days and witness the float parade too. It was just the street dancing that we witnessed.

We were up at 4 am just to have a good spot at the assembly area. We had to be that early because people line up early too otherwise we won't be able to get good photos. We were not able to take photos at the Athletic Bowl due to strict security. We didn't have the all access id issued by the organizers.

A Must at Concerts

When foreign artists come and visit our country, my daughter wants to watch them sing live all the time. Too bad we were not able to buy tickets for the recent Taylor Swift concert. It was sold out right away. Anyway, I made a deal with my kids. If ever they watch a concert, I give them only a certain budget for the tickets. Take it or leave it. I always tell them that we can't afford front row seats. Good thing we have something like these steiner binoculars. Even if they are far away, they get a glimpse of their favorite artist up close. Well that's how life is. If you can't get what you want, adjustments can be made all the time.

What Diet Supplement Do You Take?

Was there a time that you got tired going to the gym? I've been working out since 2005, taking a rest for about a year only. The reason why I asked you this is because there was a point in my life that I wanted to discontinue and didn't believe in fitness. My reason? I was not losing weight. I wanted to see some results right away to the point that I wanted to take diet supplements. I heard that when you have it, you are going to see results right away. I have friends who benefited from taking these supplements, I have friends too that didn't. I think it depends on the composition of the body and the discipline of course.

Addicted to Farmville

I should spend less time playing Farmville. Look what happened! The pain was getting worst that I had to put liniment and wrap it with bandage. I had to do that for 2 days. Did I stop playing? Nope! Those farmville addicts can understand me and can relate why I can't stop playing. Anyway, it got better and I was able to rest for a day. I think I really need to lessen my playing, it eats all of my time. Hopefully I can lessen by an hour a day until such time that I can make playtime just an hour a day. Complete rehabilitation and I'm sure I'm gonna get withdrawal symptoms.

Very Minor It Seems

Do you know the reason why until now I still haven't taken any diet pills? Yeah, I want to lose weight and a lot are recommending different diet pills. But what I am not ready about is the side effects of diet pills. There will always be side effects, very minor as it seems, but am I ready for it? Allow me to name a few side effects, but these side effects I only found online, ok? I really do not know whether this is true or not but when you get to read this, please tell me if it is. Nervousness, restlessness, insomnia, headaches, these are the common side effects of diet pills.

Sweat It Out

If there's one thing that my son took after me, it's probably the love for eating. He is my partner in crime when it comes to foodies. I got him into doing fitness lately and we even go to the gym together. After our workout, we would often agree on how hard it is to sweat it out just to lose some weight. We would even discuss the different ways on how to lose weight like colon cleanse which is always talked about. We would even tell ourselves that we ought to try one time if we feel like nothing is happening. But for now, we will settle for strenuous exercises.

Breeding Cows in Farmville

Farmville is getting to be addicting again, what with the new cow breeding. I used to breed just the horse, but now I started with the cows too. There are secrets that I picked here and there and I am applying it so that I can level up fast. Yes, I take it pretty seriously, LOL. I don't care even if my wrist gets numb or something. For the last couple of days, I've been putting bandage and some linament to help ease the pain. I know I should stop playing and rest even for a day or two, but what can I do, I am enjoying the game with my bestest friends.

Side Effects

Who among you have tried taking diet pills? I have not tried taking one so I really don't know. When I listen to my friends, they give me different feedback. So does it depend on what brand one is taking? What about the side effects? Some say that they get dizzy while others get headaches. This is the only side effects I hear so far. But when you search the internet, you will find more like these oxyelite pro side effects. The side effects do not really make you turn your back on diet pills because most of it are tolerable. Others will not even feel it in the long run.

Taking Care of More Important Things

Dang! I am so caught up with playing this game on FB that I keep forgetting more important things. My oh my, my oh bad, I think I am close to getting the carpal tunnel syndrome too. If I don't stop right at this moment, I know I am getting it. Ok, this is already a sign that I should be taking care of things forgotten, like the Custom Labels I was planning to get for my beaded bracelet business. I know I mentioned it here a couple of months back and here I am, still nothing. Good thing I already have a design in mind and I will be able to get Label Quotes right away. It's that easy nowadays. Gone are the days that you will have to wait ages before you can accomplish anything. Today, with just a snap of a finger you will be able to come up wit something and it's just great!
