Art Storage

I had a friend who recently came home from abroad. She had to take care of some very important things. You see their father left them some very beautiful art pieces and antiques. And since they are all living abroad already, they just locked those pieces in one of the rooms in their house. Now they have decided to ship it, first here in Manila, then to where they are staying right now. The pieces are still here in the Philippines because they are still looking for a reputable company to bring their stuff abroad. I should be telling her about Art Storage. This may help them. I think they would love the expertise of this company when it comes to handling fine art. They use the most innovative protection techniques to ensure that the art will remain in its original condition. This is very important since we are talking about valuable items. I know this is not an easy task for them because more than anything else these pieces are heirloom, passed to them by their father and their father's father. It's a good thing they have thought of shipping the items to where they are right now, and not just lock it in one of the rooms in their house with only the caretaker looking after it.

Beautiful

I enjoyed my weekend at my Mom's place. I was able to take photos of her garden, err flowers in particular. They were all in full bloom and such beauty to behold. Good thing I always have my Sony P&S camera in my bag. It was showering a bit when I took those photos. My brother even made me stop, but what the heck, I wanna take pictures. It was my sister who planted those, and I know she will be happy seeing it here in my blog. There are actually more photos I took, it's all in my flickr account if you want to take a look.

No More Annoying Calls

I have this habit of not answering phone calls especially if I don't recognize the number. I think most of us do. And the number one reason is avoiding telemarketers. Come on admit it. I do get annoyed answering calls from telemarketers because they just wouldn't give up. There is actually a solution for this. If you want to find out who's calling, just run Reverse Phone Lookups. It works whether a phone number is listed or not. Now you have a way of finding out who's calling you. Ooops, I almost forgot. You can also register your phone number at National No Call Registry so that your numbers will be erased from the database telemarketers have. This is absolutely a free service.

Knit Away

This is my newest passion now, knitting. Hubby said, all I need is a rocking chair, i'm knitting, wearing eyeglasses, and needs a rocking chair. Nah I'm not gonna be a granny anytime soon, but signs are pointing I can make a good grannie. Haha, as if knitting is all there is to being a good granny. I'm not an expert yet as you can see. I need to do something about the edge, it curls, maybe it was too tight. Oh never mind, I don't want to repeat it. Next time I know better, now that I am getting the hang of it. Knitting is totally different from crocheting, for now I am partial to knitting simply because I am enjoying my new passion.

Your Drug Guide Software

Really? Doctors go mobile now? Like how? I read in a website that there is a drug guide for blackberry. That's what most doctors have now, and they look like geeks. No more big and heavy books for a drug guide. It's all in their PDAs. Don't be surprised if you see your doctor consult his blackberry once you ask for a prescription. Yes, the drug guide is all there in that smart phone. And mind you, the software is free. Ah no wonder almost all doctors have it in their smart phones. Isn't it cool to see your doctor turn into a doctor-geek?

This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.

Mineral Makeup

Ever since I discovered mineral makeup, I have not used any other regular makeup. I really love mineral makeup because it suits my sensitive skin. It's made of pure minerals and vitamins. It does not contain the usual makeup ingredient which can be toxic and can sometimes cause allergies. Another reason that I go for mineral makeup now is because it feels so light on my skin, it's like I'm not wearing any makeup at all. I like the effect on my skin, and it does not cake or crease at all. If you ask me, I'd say...take the shift, go MINERAL!

Bouncing on Trampoline

I've been wanting to buy this trampoline eversince I found out that bouncing in one has many health benefits. I read that it has more health benefits compared to different aerobic exercises. It strengthens every part of your body. My Mom used to tell us too that letting a child bounce on the trampoline increases his/her intelligence. I have to read more on this so for now I can't give you the reason why. But eversince I found out about it, I've been letting my kids bounce on the trampoline whenever I see one in the Malls. They actually get excited and I can see that they are having fun. Hmmm, I think it's about time to own one.

Subic Fun

We went to Subic last Saturday for a wedding coverage. I was excited with the idea already because I was in a photographer's mood. This does not happen all the time as I am too lazy to take shots. I mean for my personal file. Of course I work during the wedding ceremony and reception. But last Saturday was different. I was "trigger" happy. I'm glad I was able to take very good photos. Thanks to the photo memes that I joined, they took out the laziness in me, harhar.

I came across Baldwin products when we were buildig the house where we're staying now. I've been looking for products in the internet a lot.

While doing my search, I couldn't help but notice the beautiful designs of Baldwin, just the way I like it. But the thing is, it was not available where we are staying right now.

Litratong Pinoy Entry

This week's theme in Litratong Pinoy is square. I didn't have a hard time looking for a square item but I had a hard time deciding which item I should include in this week's theme. Anyways, the photos that you see is what I picked. I've used that as a pencil/pen holder and not as what it is designed to be, a candle holder, or that's what the girl said when I bought it. In the first picture, I decided to use my flash for you to be able to see the real colors. For some drama, I photographed it without a flash, and it turned out pretty. You can read the rest of the entry here.

Cheap Prepaid Phone Cards

I really can't stand not keeping in touch with my sisters in the USA. I do get worried when I don't get to talk with them. And I get sad too because I really miss them a lot. I don't get to see them often since they come home once every two years or sometimes once every three years. The only way to keep the bonding alive is to talk to them. I used to dread the day I get my billing statement from the phone company. Sometimes I just close my eyes and don't think of the amount anymore. If I continued using my cellphone to call my sisters, I can buy a designer bag in a year. That kept me thinking, oh not the buying a designer bag portion. I mean the amount of money I can save if I try other means. True enough I discovered prepaid phone cards and that's what I use now. I can even afford to call my sisters once a week. If you think that it's some cheap card, you are wrong. The price may be reasonably low, but the quality is not. It's very clear and it's like talking to a person who is just in the other room. My sisters have been using the prepaid phone card too. They find it cheaper, compared to using their cellular phones to call. Good thing there are affordable prepaid phone cards that we can use. It keeps us updated of what's happening in each others lives.

Perfect Tee

Haha, it's like screaming it loud, duh but i'm no PRO. I do it for exercise and I don't have any plans of turning pro, heh like I can. Well, that shirt was a token given to me by our Teacher when she had her dayoff and I was one of those who took over. Now I'm waiting for that episode to be shown. I don't have any idea when so I'd better watch every Saturday. I hope I won't miss it. Hmmm, maybe I can ask Teacher to send me sms, for sure she knows when.

She's Finally Back

My helper arrived at 2:30 in the morning. We just went to bed and I was just starting to doze off. I didn't hear the bell ring, probably because I was too sleepy. It was my son who heard it. "Mom, somebody is at the gate, maybe it's Nanay." Haha, he can smell that it's his Nanay. Manang Lina is the nanny of Josh, and oh how her loves her. He got excited and all and asked if his Nanay can sleep with him. I think he missed his Nanay so much. There was even a time when he asked me if his yaya (nanny) was still coming back. He was worried sick when I kidded that no, she's not coming back anymore. Well all of us are happy that she's back. Of course we missed her, she has been with us for 15 years already.

Travel Asia

I am from Asia and I tell you, there's so much to see in this part of the world. I had a wonderful experience when I travelled to Singapore with my husband some few years back. There is just so much to do and we were not able to do all those things in our four day stay there. We've been to almost all their tourist attractions and it was just great. I love everything about Singapore, the food, the shopping, Sentosa, Night Safari, etc. If there are places that I'd like to go back to, Singapore is surely on my list. No worries because there are Cheap Hotels in Singapore that I can always stay at.

There's another place I recommend you go and visit. Not that I saw much of it, but based on the areas I've been to Bangkok is one of the best too. Shopping is to die for. With the 3 days I spent in Bangkok, all I did was shop, it's overwhelming. Oh I love the food there too, though it's a bit hot, I still love it. It was my cousin who invited me to go with her there. She said that she has found Cheap Hotels in Bangkok in the internet. And when I saw the rate, I immediately said yes. It was really very affordable and it's located in the heart of Bangkok. I love my Bangkok experience too.

This is one place that I have not been too. My daughter and I saw one TV special featuring Kuala Lumpur. She got so excited and listed it in her "places to visit". It's in my list too, since I've heard a lot about the place. I'd love to see the Petronas Tower. A friend has just been there and she said it was awesome. She recommended some Cheap Hotels in Kuala Lumpur where we can stay. Hmmm it's time to save some moolah again if I want to visit this beautiful place. How about you? Can you share some wonderful experiences of Asia?
