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.

Sometimes I hate myself, sometimes I don't because when I think of it this is my only indulgence. Anyway here is the htc desire hd I saw online and I really like it. 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?
