New Stuff Here and There

This post may seem odd when you are a regular in this blog. Well one way or another I have to write down stuff which I think may interest some of the people who might come across my blog. Bits and pieces of everything, who knows it can help, right? Add to that the things I learn too when I write about something I come across in the web. To be honest, this is actually the first time I came across these hygienic levers. Prior to this, I know nothing about it. I see it, alright but when you ask me what it's called I can't answer you. Well at least now I know what that thing is called. You see it on the floor a lot since it is used to stabilize objects, machines in particular. I gathered that there are different types, now it all depends on your requirement.

The Cable Car Ride

Finally on my 3rd visit to Singapore I was able to take the cable car. Honestly I got a bit scared especially when I started seeing the the expression painted on the faces of my kids. I saw terror in her eyes specially. She was holding on for dear life, I'm glad she survived the ride and was able to take the cable car again back to Vivo City but this was another story. It was more scary on our way back, seemed like the car wasn't stable at all. I think it was due to the winds. It gets windy in the early evenings, right? Anyway, I think they still enjoyed the view or let's just put it this way, that's one list off their bucket list if there is any.

When You Don't Know What to Say

Sometimes we just don't know what to say. Words aren't enough to express what we truly feel. Do you sometimes feel that? I do and I am glad that I am not the only one. In times like this, what do you normally do? I have some suggestions, and one of it is getting something from GiftBaskets.com for sympathy basket ideas. I think it would make a person feel a little better or being loved after some terrible news. I know it sounds a little weird but let's face it. I would be happy getting something like that or at least it would make me feel better even for a short time. Our agenda here is to temporarily take away the sadness even if it's just for a little while.

Quit Playing Games...Not

Gaming is our thing! I think everyone else in this house is into it, except the head of the family. I don't know but that is how we spend our spare time. There are times that we get too engrossed and can't be bothered but I know it's kinda wrong. I am doing something about it though and hopefully the rest will follow. I am just glad that we have gaming computers, even if we quit playing it can still benefit us. I am talking about the speed and the graphics...nothing beats! But I don't think someone can quit though, minimize perhaps. Yeah, someone has to since it's gonna be the opening of classes soon!

My Treasure Box

I seriously want to have it. If only I can have it as a Mother's Day present then I'd be glad. I first found about it in the net. It's pretty cool, somewhat mind boggling. It's a challenge actually because you can't just open it just like that. I am talking about a puzzle box. I want to convert it to a jewelry box actually wherein I am the only one who can open it. It would make a wonderful present too. I wonder if my friends would appreciate it if I give them one. I think they will, will ask them to convert it to treasure boxes too. Cool idea, right?

Home Bound...Not Yet

We both want to go home already but as it is we still don't have clearance from the doctor. Praise God my darling doll's condition has improved a lot. Her platelet is now increasing and we are waiting for it to normalize. I really pity her coz both her arms have IV. Having one is hard already, so I can't imagine how hard it is to have both. I love her for conquering her fears and I also love the fact that she cooperates. We are both hoping that we will be sent home soon, hopefully any time soon. We've been here since Monday, that makes 6 days in the hospital already. Nope, I am not complaining in fact I am happy that we were able to bring her right away before any complications occurred.

He Broke His Back

My father-in-law has a problem with his back, I think he broke it or something. We have always been reminding him to be careful because at 95 his bones are brittle. He is hard headed at times and I can understand why. He's used to hard life and being "lazy" is just not in his bones. Now he is wearing back braces and he is somewhat used to it already. I remember the first few days where he's really argue with us because he feels uncomfortable with it. Now we don't need to remind him to wear it. It gets to be automatic whenever he wakes up. Hopefully he doesn't get to wear it that long.

A Perfect Tan Hopefully

It's summer time once again and there's just one thing I desire whenever this time of the year comes. I want to get a real nice tan. I've been trying since time immemorial but I couldn't get the exact tan that I want. The closest thing that is happening is myself turning red, burning red in fact. Now I have every reason to try this tanning machine, who knows this will be the solution to me wanting to get a tan. I need to try on new stuff every now and then and not just confine myself to things that I have tried doing already. Life is short, try everything as long as you can afford it. Make the most out of your life, do things that will make you happy. I've been trying to do this, so life to me is always bliss.

My DJ Daughter

About 3 months ago, I wrote about my daughter getting accepted as a student jock in one of the fm radio stations here in the metro. She has been training since then and has boarded a couple of times already. She bought her own headset because to her a headset is a must have so she can hear quite well the conversations they are having. I wonder what she needs next. Good thing I came across apogee over the internet and I think they have everything she'll be needing when it comes to recording and all. I can feel that she's quite serious about her chosen field because she wants to learn more and more. I too will do everything to support whatever she goes into and that's the best help I can give her.

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.
