Google Here and There

Is it really normal that if you don't know anything the first thing you do is "google" it? Is it just me? I am so used to this routine already and I can say that I rely on it too much. It's a good thing I have unlimited data on my mobile and that I didn't have to wait until I get home for some wired internet. Anyway, since I already consider myself as an internet junkie, I usually find anything and everything under the sun whenever I surf. I usually bookmark the page that I feel like it's going to be important for future use, there are also some that are just plain junk. Anyway, for musically inclined people, I usually come across this website. I think they are affordable. I'm not exactly sure since I am not really familiar with it, but if I base it to what I read, then they are. Take a look at this tascam psp520 at Musicians Friend. What do you think of it? I think it's slightly lower when it comes to the price or if not it's competitive.

That's my Paige

I am so lucky to have a friend who spoils me no end. Yes, yes, she gave that to me. She says that that is the brand the "New York Moms" want to be seen using, not just some new york moms but THE New York Moms if you know what I mean. And because I love New York a lot that I want to spend the rest of my life there, then I might as well start living like one haha. Kidding aside I really love it there. If only the husband would allow me, I'm gonna pack my bag and leave right away. Yes, that's how much I want to go back to the US.

My New Collection

I'm going home in a few days and I feel really sad. I will miss my sisters and friends real bad. I hope I can get to visit them every year but I think that is impossible. Hopefully they get to visit me in the Philippines too. Anyway, I have packed and I have no idea how I have accumulated this items in a month. Now I need to send 2 boxes but it's ok rather than paying too much for excess. You know how it is when they weigh your stuff over at the airport. I think I bought too much home stuff which really occupied space. I wish nothing breaks when I get home, but it's not a problem coz there's this high heat epoxy that I can use. But really I wish nothing like this happens coz I will cry. It's the first time I will be collecting bowls and plates so I am really excited.

Do You Need a Drum Pedal?

Oh! So this iron cobra is a drum pedal. Based on what I read it's a pretty good product. The son of one of my cousins has a drum set, I wonder if he uses this stuff. Well I might as well tell him about it to take advantage of the price it has right now. The product has gained good reviews and I am about to tell everyone about this product. Hmm on second thought I have yet to see it myself so that I will not be blamed in the end. Hopefully my nephew has used it already so that I have a first hand information about the product.

Learning To Play The Piano

Who among you is interested in music? I think a lot these days are getting into it. Well it's a nice passion rather than being idle and doing nothing. I'm not really into it but I am willing to try. I grew up in a family where music is important. My parents would hire a piano teacher who comes every Saturday to teach all of us. Sometimes it's tiring because I was kid at that time and my only concern was my play time. Anyway I'm glad that I was able to read notes and play the piano. Now what does this have to do with this boss amps? Honestly I don't know too. What I know is that this is used by bands or any musician for that matter. Can someone please tell me how this stuff works? I'd gladly appreciate it.

The 30 Day Squat Challenge

I want to do this squat challenge so bad. I don't know if I can though but I will try. I know it's kinda crazy given that I am no longer young. I wonder how I will do it. Starting with 50 squats is already impossible come to think of it, and day 30 requires 250 squats? What the heck did I get myself into!!! Oh my gosh!!!

Stops the Barking

Hmmmm! I think I already found the solution to the problem of my friend regarding her neighbor's dog who keep on barking. I know it's really bothersome because when one starts barking, the rest of the dogs within the perimeter bark too. It can get annoying especially when you are resting. If I were my friend, I would suggest this spray bark collar to my neighbor. This might be the solution to their problem too. Now do I even know how this works? Well according to the description in the internet, it will emit a smell when the dog starts barking and that smell is not a welcome treat to them. Great idea, right?

My Antique Shop Experience

I went to an antique shop and I was amazed with what I saw. I was initially scouting for bowls or plates, the decorative ones but for some reason I ended up looking at the jewelry section. Now I suddenly remember how I love to look up cheap costume jewelry on the net. I am drawn more to that I think or it's just that I didn't see any nice bowls and plates that are for sale. If I did I would have spent more on two of my favorite stuff. How about you? What do you guys collect when you travel?

Off My Bucket List

I have a lot off my bucket list. First, I wanted to experience fall and see all the beautiful colors. There wasn't much left since I arrived past the height of the season but still I am grateful I was able to see it. I had my picture taken under the yellow leaves of the tree. I want you guys to see it but for some reason I can't upload my photo in my photobucket account. I will just attach it when I head back to my country. I was so excited to see it that even from the plane I was looking out the window all the time. It was not pretty up there especially those trees that don't have leaves anymore but nevertheless it's another experience I won't forget.

My Youtube Adventure

I was on youtube for a couple of hours and guess where it lead me? I know it's a bit cray cray but I want to buy this novation ableton launchpad. I've seen how they use it and I find it interesting, not to mention relaxing too. I want to learn how to use it, who knows I might be able to make my own arrangement of my favourite tune. I think my daughter can also make use of it since she is a dj. Good thing they have one for iPad already.

A Wonderful Product

This product is really nice. My sister thought I'd like it since I had been ordering a lot of TRESemme products. Anyway I have stopped using it not because it did harm to my hair. It's just that I have keratin treatment and it requires sulfate-free products. I'm not really sure if it's sulfate free so I stopped. I want my keratin treated hair to last a lifetime.

I'm Glad it's Just a Minor Repair

One of our tenants vacated the apartment recently. I think they were able to buy a house already. I'm sad because we're losing them as they pay very well but I am happy at the same time because they have their own house already. It's every family's dream to have a house of their own. We will be making a few minor repairs and I am thinking of using bifen it to get rid of termites if there is any. Speaking of termites, I might use it too here at home. I see some signs so I need to put some so it won't spread, some quick fix you know.

Adult Beginner Ballet at Plana Forma

We had our second sesh last Saturday and I am still loving it. It's fun I tell you. We always associate ballet with kids, I don't blame you because we often see those little cute girls in their tutus during recitals and all. Ballet for adult is more like a fitness thing to me. It helps maintain good posture too, but in my case it teaches me to have good and proper posture. This is the reason why I love doing it. And yeah, talk about grace and poise too!

Take Good Care of Your Health

The husband is scheduled to have his executive checkup soon. I wonder if he will submit himself this time. We forced him the last time. Good thing he did if not we won't be able to discover that he had a problem with his cholesterol. You know what's next to happen once your cholesterol is hight. You can avoid it though by getting atorvastatin from tcds.com. That's the med that was prescribed to the husband. I remember my own dad taking that medicine too. I know a lot of people who take that med, I guess it's a lifestyle thing, love for good food. It's ok to love good food but it should be coupled with fitness so whatever the intake is, you burn it and at the same time get rid of toxins too. But then again not all are into fitness.

I Think I Really Love Games

I am soooo glad I have not reached this state yes. But the way I'm playing I think I'm getting there in no time. Noooo, I don't like it, I wanna be rehabilitated soon. Games I play shouldn't be stressful in fact it should be played to destress. But why is it that lately games are made to be stressful? Is it us who's making it stressful because we want to finish it right away? Or is it the frustration that we can't get past a level? I've promised myself not to get deep into games but why am I doing this again?

Score a Deal

One day we're gonna go jamming over at my cousin's house. Right now we're just doing it at home, the console type. We have the drums, the guitar and I always end up as the vocalist. Not that I don't know how to play, it's just that the kids always want to be on the drums and the guitar. I think it would be exciting if it's gonna be for real. I'm not sure if my daughter is still interested in learning the drums. Oh speaking of drums I wonder if my cousin knows about this cheap dw 9000 double pedal at musicians friend. I understand that it is on sale right now. I bet she'll be excited since us Moms really look for good deals all the time. I think that's one of our characteristics. We are able to score awesome items because we are so patient in looking for one. How about you?

Hooray for SALE

I've been eyeing this shorts at the American Eagle Store for some six months now. You know why I wasn't able to buy it? It's darn too expensive here. You know what I did? I waited for it to go on sale at their website and would you believe I got it for only P650.00. I am so happy that it was on the sale section otherwise I won't be able to buy it really. I got a good deal, I think I paid 25% of the amount only. Hooray for the word SALE!

The Guitarist We Know

We have a friend in church who plays the guitar very well in fact he teaches too. Since my son has expressed his desire to learn the guitar, I might as well ask him to teach Josh. My kids are friends with this person and I think he will be the perfect guitar teacher. He used to be part of a band but I don't think they reached the point of playing professionally. Hhhmm, an idea came to mind. Why don't I join my kids, good idea? I've always been fascinated, anyway. I can ask him about a lot of things concerning music, instruments, attachments, etc. I don't have any idea what this classic pocket pod at guitar center does, so maybe I can ask him too. Ahhh, one of the perks of having different personalities for a friend, you learn a lot from them.

Letterhead Ideas

Did you know that a letterhead says a lot about your company/business? Whenever I receive a business letter, I tend to look at the letterhead first or should I say I am more drawn to it at first glance more than the content of the letter. I know it's a case to case basis depending on what letters you expect in the mail. Anyway, I want to share with you a local letterhead printing shop that can help you make your own letterhead. It offers tips on layout and design. If you don't have any idea on how to do your letterhead, then maybe they can help you. Oh, they sample kits too so you'll have an idea how it would look like. This is between you and me, you can get ideas out of this sample kits, haha.

I Now Have a KitchenAid

Oh yeah! Oh yeah! It finally arrived. Two months wait is sweet! Now I can't imagine baking without my stand mixer. Why didn't not even think of buying it before? Haha as if I don't know the reason why. Truth is, we couldn't afford it at that time. We had more important things to take care of. Not having it wasn't a hindrance since we were still able to make cookies and cakes. So what makes me think that I can't imagine my life without it? Yeah I know I am silly, more than you'll ever know!
