What is the Best Cigar Brand?

I'm no expert when it comes to cigar. But I am not ignorant either because once in my life I have tasted it. It happened many years ago when the husband and I frequented this place because of work. We covered people who were into cigar and met regularly at that place. They would talk endlessly about flavors and stuff and it got me interested to try one. I'm not really familiar with these cigar brands, but I was able to taste that certain brand that they say was one of the best. To tell you honestly, I didn't really like it but like they always say it's a matter of getting used to the taste in order to appreciate it. Well I didn't reach that point.

Club Balai Isabel

Isn't that pretty? We were treated by my MIL to an overnight stay at Club Balai Isabel. It was nice, yeah it was nice. Saw Enchong Dee up close but since he was not a favourite of mine, I treated him like someone ordinary, not an actor. I wanted to have my photo taken with Kim and Xian but the camera was rolling at that time I was in the area. Didn't like to wait til the wee hours of the morning just to have my photo taken with them, no freaking way. MIL was lucky because she was at the right place at the right time. She was able to have her photo taken with Kim.

Please Snow in December

As early as now I am already planning my US trip. Much as I want to leave any moment, the husband is not allowing me. He wants me to leave sometime in November. I think I like this time of the year to leave too since it has been a dream of mine to experience snow. Hopefully it will snow during the early week of December. They told me not to buy stuff for the winter including a snowboard jacket because they will just lend me. I actually agree with them since I will get to wear it only once since I live in the tropics. I am already very excited and looking forward to this trip. I hope this dream will come true for me.

Yoga Cushion

Did I mention that I have given up on yoga? But lately I have been thinking of trying it again. I am experiencing aches all over and someone suggested that I try yoga. It's a good thing that yoga is being offered at the gym that I go to. The last time I went, everyone was on their mats. I haven't really seen someone using a zabuton meditation cushion or any meditation cushion for that matter. Maybe I attended the basic session or probably the people there are not familiar with this cushion yet. If ever I will be the first one to use it and hopefully others will see the need for it.

Rose de Mai

Can someone give that to me please? I've been looking for this parfum by Victoria's Secret the day I laid hands on it. I just love the smell and it perfectly fits me. I can say that he smell is heavenly and I am in love with it. Too bad it was already discontinued, for what reason I really don't know. It was not even a special edition scent, so I don't know. Hopefully someone informs VS that it is an in demand scent. Meanwhile am I willing to settle for another brand? I don't know yet since I haven't really looked around.

Guitar Summer

School is almost over. Time indeed flies too fast. I need to think of ways to keep the kids busy. I don't have problems with my eldest daughter since she will be having her OJT which is a school requirement. I'm not saying that I'm having problems with my second, it's just that I don't want him to concentrate on video games the whole summer. It's a good thing he has expressed his desire to go into music. He did violin lessons in the past, now I want him to try guitar. He doesn't have a guitar to use at the moment so I am looking at this rickenbacker guitar. It's got good reviews so I might consider this brand. I am already excited, I hope my son is excited too. Can't wait to hear him play.

Web to Print Software

Each of us think of what kind of business to put up just to augment the family income. Times are getting harder and harder and sometimes it is just not enough. We just can't rely on the salary anymore and we need to think of other ways just to have a little more. I've been visible in the net lately and I have come across this interesting business. It's the web to print technology at eoncode.com. With just their software, we can start our own printing business. It can even be done in the confines of our house, well at least for a start. When it grows bigger and bigger, then we need to think big too, like probably getting an office somewhere. Oh it's not even necessary I think. This is the kind of business I like, it's simple.

Separation Anxiety

Waaaaaahhhh! The daughter will be traveling without a relative! Separation anxiety is what I am feeling right now. My stomach has been churning too. This shouldn't be happening, she'll be 20 in the coming months. You can't blame me, we are attached to each other. I can't help but feel lonely, my darling doll is no longer a baby and she can travel without us already!!!! Anyway, she'll be in Bangkok for 10 days for the dCatch2013 program. She just left today for Bangkok and we are already talking about dCatch2014 in Japan. Waaaahhhhhh!

Background Checks

Oh what the net can do...sometimes it is unimaginable. Sometimes I like the idea, sometimes I don't. The thing that I don't like is that I rely on the net too much and I get paralysed when I can't go online. I think I need to adapt to this kind of setting and get used to it. We are in the internet age and we can get almost everything in just one click. A lot of stuff are shortened and we save on time and money. All kinds of business benefit from this. Most things are made simple and can be accessed right away. No more long waiting periods. Take for example the hiring of employees, did you know that background check pre employment at easybackgrounds can be done? Why go through all the pains of doing it yourself when there is someone who uses advanced technology to do it? This will be a great help in getting the right people to work for you.

Be Careful

I abhor crazy people on the streets, there are a lot of them. I get mad because even if you take extra care while driving there are just crazy drivers out there who involve you in accidents. I also get mad at some motorcycle riders who are not disciplined. I am so glad when our government came up with a motorcycle lane and you can't find them everywhere now. No offence meant but some riders eat up all lanes that you can't overtake other cars. It's ok if they observe speed and all, but there are some who don't. Anyway I am hoping that riders have heard of this bluetooth motorcycle helmet too because I still see some riders using their mobile phones while on the road. I can't stand looking at them because sometimes I anticipate horrible things happening to them as a result of this stupid act.

Family Bonding

We plan to do this once a month, you know just spending time with each other over ice cream, smoothie, coffee or tea. We do a lot of movies but then again it isn't enough. We need plenty of time to bond with our family if we want to have a loving and solid family. A little money won't really leave a hole in the pocket or even it if did I'd still do it. Spending time with the family are wonderful memories to look back to when we are old and gray.

The Magic Software

There was a point in my life where I'd go to bars just to listen to bands. I'd do it with my friends and we would just enjoy the night even with a beer or two. I haven't been to one lately, and I would like to experience it again. I heard that bands have improved a lot probably because of the help of software instruments. I went ahead and googled what software instruments are and I totally understood what it was by reading this komplete 8 ultimate review. Cool I must say because you don't need to add more instrument, you get it by using the software. No wonder we hear a lot of different sounds yet we only see the basic on stage.

I Wanna Make Some Beer

I am a little adventurous at home especially in the kitchen. I pretty much love to cook for the family. I find new stuff to do, I can reinvent some stuff if I want to, I can do my own version of some food too. One thing I don't really do are drinks. I should be adventurous when it comes to that too. I may have to start by looking into these beer making kits then maybe graduate into doing wine at home. Hhhmmm, let me give this some thought. I think it would be fun doing this.

Hope's 1st Birthday Party

We attended a birthday party yesterday and it's truly amazing how parties are nowadays. I've been out of touch from kiddie party scenes since my two kids are already teenagers. Themes are more elaborate and truly beautiful. The performers are different too so are the games. There's not much magic show, well at least at the party I've been to. But I think the trend is like that nowadays. They do puppet shows, not the usual puppets. They have a soft puppet, a human puppet and a hard puppet, something like that. The party was fun because of all those stuff and not to forget the good food too.

I Need This Protection

How do you discard old gadgets whenever you go for an upgrade? I usually sell mine so that I will have extra money to fund the upgrade. I know of some people who sell theirs too. Did you know that you're giving away important data when you do so? I haven't really given this much thought. All I know is that once I trash everything, it will no longer be retrieved. This will only happen if you completely wipe hard drive. With this, no one has the capacity to retrieve whatever was trashed in your computers. Nice to have this kind of protection, right?

Our "Techy" Kids

Kids are amazing nowadays. Whenever my friends and I gather, we never fail to discuss how awesome our kids are especially when it comes to techy stuff like computers, different kinds of accessories, applications and what nots. We laugh at ourselves depending too much on our kids when it comes to it. I'm sure my daughter can explain to me how this aviom16/o-y1 works. I guess she is familiar with this since she is exposed to stuff like these. I really admire. She has accomplished a lot at her young age. Hope she continues what she is doing and go for her passion, that is radio.

Christmas Edition Chocolates

Went to SnR just to get my christmas edition chocolates. Early, right? Of course because I want to have our stock before it runs out. I do this every christmas time. The kids look for it. I don't want to disappoint them. Perfect excuse you say? Haha you got me there. Actually I just want to renew my card which expired in 2011. Haven't been going to that place in a year so I got really excited when I saw SnR just across St. Luke's Global.

Karaoke Time

My kids can sing! They don't sound bad, they don't sound good either. Hahaha, just kidding. They may not sound as good as those singers they admire, but to me they do. I heard both of them sing in the car a couple of days ago and I was like, hhmm it's about time getting them this nady microphones at musicians friend. We'll have karaoke sessions here at home and I think it's going to be lots of fun. I can invite my friends and loved ones. This is also a very good activity for Christmas gatherings, a singing contest perhaps?

Pick your choice since it will add more to the festive atmosphere.

My DIY Touch

Wild guess, anyone? What am I going to do with that? Believe it or not, it's a Christmas ornament. I'm going to put that to my tree. That's my DIY touch for this year's look. Instead of buying at the department store, I opted to go to Divisoria to buy 4 kinds of flowers and put them together. Will show you in a later post when I am already done with my tree.
