summer holidays!

Every time I hear about vacation, I always remember those memorable vacations that we have in our company-paid outing in different resorts, but the thing is, a lot of mishaps are occured in our stay in those resorts, maybe because lack of coordination with their account execs and even lack of explanations from them with regards to their services that are offered to us. And that pisses all of us, imagine the fun you are having when suddenly a security or a employee-incharge will come up to you and gives you what's not and what's only allowed since our resort reservation is only limited to this and that. And that is really annoying.
I just hope when we are 'financially able' we can actually have a reservation with them and have a great fun vacation that I am dreaming of without all the hassles. we all want to experience a great family vacation right?
And speaking of the one who can really takes good care of the tourist and guests is the site www.holiday-rentals.co.uk that is so known for making memorable self catering holidays in the UK, or whatever a vacationist need, be it the holiday cottages or cornwall cottages!
Actually, it has been like what, ages since the management keeps on pushing an out of the country trip for the whole company, given the fact that there are like less than fifty work force all in all, and with the super cheap travel offerings it'll sure fit the company's budget for at least a three day trip/vacation even in Europe! Alright, that's kind of over boarding of dreams I know, but who knows?! the President might also want that and he'll have no choice but to tag along all his workers too! And it'll sure be fun! :D

Kia

As most you know, dear husband know so much about cars and that stuff that has to do it. In fact, he has been in the buy and sell business for quite a while making him a pro on that field. Anyways, since he often talks about that most of the time, since I'm interested to learn too, he once told me that there are really certain car brands that are sale-able and others that are not. Though he has a point, I beg to disagree on most part of that because I still believe that there are still open chances for the other brands to come up with a unique of it's own model that if given a chance will sure hit high on sales and in the market. Let's just say this kia forte, as we all know Kia cars are very low priced compare to the other competitor in the field, but with this model that has a gained great feed backs from buyers and users made it to the top of the most wanted car of the year! Imagine having to own a surprisingly good looking unit with details as almost the same as the other top notch brand there is, but way too affordable compare to the others. So there, I think Kia will soon be hitting the ladder of success anytime soon with this model. Just my cents though.

something healthy - oatmeal cookies

Oh I love oatmeal cookies, the texture and the taste itself makes me want to have more! And yes, I also dig anything cinnamon, so what if oatmeal cookies comes up with a cinnamon taste?! it's heaven! :D That is why, when quaker oats release their new line of product of oatmeal cookies, I shrieked. Though I've been a long fan of Keebler's, can't control myself to try this brand too. And as expected, it's good! pretty cool for something healthy, good for the heart. Really good for the oldies too since it'll contribute great effect for their heart.
And speaking of the oldies, I remember that my folks asked me to search affordable instant life insurance quote that they may acquire. Any heads up on this?

d40 to d90 - sweet!

I am now tweaking and fiddling my new toy. In fact, I'm reading the manual now! oh yeah, multi-tasking is definitely my game, ya' know. Since there are so many new buttons and settings to know on this toy, I vowed to fully understand everything and anything about this to maximize the function of all every time I'll shoot. As of now, understanding fully about shutter release is where I'm at, oh no, it's totally different about exterior shutters if that's what on your mind though.
Anyways, though I am loving to bits my new camera, I still can't refuse but use my beloved D40.. that has been with me for almost three years now, even found myself browsing through my flickr account and I can't believe how great it has served me!
Let me just share with you one of my favorite snap using my trusted eldest baby... I just love the colors and details of this shot.

nutrients supplement

Of course every parent want to have their kid fully nourished by eating the right type of foods and proper nutrition. Unfortunately for some, they can't get they children eat, some refuse to eat everything but milk. That is why I think, there are now supplements that are made for the future champions. Supplements in order to cover up the lack of nutrients their little body needs. I wonder if they can have this protein powder too, or they are just too young for it? care to share your two cents?

new do

After finally convincing myself, I decided to had my hair trimmed! Last week, I went to my stylist's salon and had my mane cut. And yes, I also had it colored in ash brown and a treatment reconditioning afterward. So as ever photo addict, here are my shots of the before and after! And by the way, I also went home with whole lot of goodies including the world's best hair loss shampoo and styling serum too! Sweet! :D

such a slack

I'd be honest, for weeks you can call me a major bum for not working out. I'm a such a slack when it comes to that, maybe because I get easily tired from doing all the run and dance routine. But instead, I opt to just read fat burner reviews and some other ways on how to lose weight without going through all the hard work. Hopefully I'd be able to find one that will suit me and body's capability. So there, starting next week, I'll make sure to work my but out and do the things that I go to do in order to stay fit and healthy! no more slacking, I promise.

imagination

Guess that's what I'm badly needing now, great dose of IMAGINATION to get things over and done. But unfortunately, I don't have that. Probably follow my friends advise to relax more, blog hop and flip pages again so my mojo in posting entries will come back. This block has causing tasks to pile same as my bulges, for I always resort into sleeping and excessive eating. Not really sure if I am already been affected by depression or anxiety. I hope not! But what's really ticks me off? are my pimples! that keeps on sprouting one at a time, gotta get an acne solution fast, or else... I'm totally doomed.

grand meet up

Guess what, after the months of planning for our grand blogger meet up, we have come to the most awaited part - the meet up date itself! duh.
Anyways, never mind my booboo introduction alright, yours truly is just too excited for the event thus making me not able to find the perfect words to describe the exhilarating feeling or whatever. But what excites us even more are the food trips we will be having, for sure it'll be a great eating feast for us all, given that we all love food and dining! Can't actually imagine how we will be if we are about to tour in another country, let say somewhere in Europe (read: wishful imagination) probably we'll have a huge hard time on deciding where to dine every meal time! We probably need the help of the internet and search through the fab restaurant paris that is being featured at www.restalo.com! thank heavens for site like this that also makes reserving for seats so easy to do, no need to call for reservation or coming over for listing down names and all. Imagine the hassle free of reserving a place to pig out! Anyways, at least we now have ideas on what to do if that certain time comes - when we can actually see each other in another country! That would be the coolest thing for us blogger friends right! :D

niece and aunt

I was just cleaning up my flickr account when I happen to saw this photo..



Dear daughter and her aunt Jonah... never really thought that they would have a special bond like what they have now, for we all thought that my sister never really like kids in general, she doesn't hate them but she never tries to get their attention either or show affection and like or whatever. She' just that, until my daughter came into the world.. and everything becomes totally different with my sister! They are now best buds would you believe, often playing wii together, attending parties, going to the mall and lately watch a movie too! Now I'm definite, blood is really thicker than anything else, probably that explains their closeness and love for each other! <3

friday fillins

And...here we go!



1. You have a chance to make everything right and forgive those who have wronged you.. even if they don't say their sorry...

4. Gotta buy one of those Murray Feiss lamps and pay later.

5. It's time to finish all my pending dues and start hunting again for new tasks!

6. Every chance to work in different countries are up in the air but we can't seem to catch at least one of the many!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing tasks and doing my Friday routine, tomorrow my plans include meeting (finally) my friend Glo from Boston and Sunday, I want to do nothing!!

continues hunt for weight loss products

Can't help but feel down whenever I see old photos of myself, in my 27 inches size of waist line! Funny how I feel, but really it makes me really really sad. Call me body or self conscious or whatever, but can't really fight that sadness in me. Maybe because it has been what, years since I decided to trim down but unfortunately to no avail. So there, it's just plain sad, no not the suicidal kind of sadness attack though. Maybe I better start searching again for the best way to lose weight, will read more on weightlossdiet.net and see if there is anything new to offer that is effective and safe!

youthful skin

Who wouldn't want to look young and fresh forever?! though unfortunately as much as we all wanted too, we cannot. But we have this best wrinkle cream and night lotion that we can use in order to at least lessen the old age lines and prevent dull unruly skin of ours. We can actually start using as early as now and not wait until we reach 30, based on the tips given by the well known dermatologists in the country today, they suggest that we start taking care of our skin by using effective creams and lotions that works! So there, if you are not yet using one, you better do! So we can lengthen our youthful look :D

knives to riches

It has been like centuries ago when I promised myself never go to the mall during weekends. But guess what, where was I earlier today!? at the mall! The whole gang (read: my family) went out and had a family bonding, on a super crowded place. Actually, we weren't supposed to be at that certain mall but due to lateness of the car that we used, we had no choice but hit the nearest mall in our place. The nearest and the most crowded (as far as I know) SM mall ever in the P.I. So there, what did we shopped? it was mom who did most of it, kitchen stuff mostly it was. From glasses to chopping board to plastic containers and even spyderco endura knives! the latter item was actually the most important thing on her list as her friend particularly told her to get a set of that knives from www.knives-america.com - well raved by her friend, that she really decided to get a bunch of those. And being a cooking diva, she really needs a well recommended knives for all her food preparation right? you see, she hates those un-sharpened knives, it can really ticks her off! So there, most probably she'll use those things tomorrow as I saw her arranged everything on her counter top before she hits the bed. I'd better see her tomorrow and take a snap so I can blog about those!

dream board

Do you own a dream board? How was it? Is it really effective? Been hearing so much rave about this dream board making and it makes me want to make one for myself, I mean for our family. But the thing is, since last night I have been really thinking of what to prioritize on my soon to be up dream board, aside of course from getting a model-like body (thanks to phentermine no prescription that can be bought online), there are so many other luxurious things that wants to be included on my list! I didn't know that the choosing for the things to be posted on that board is the hardest part! So there, guess I'd be needing major focus on my mindset in order to furnish this task of mine.

hair loss

My dearest cousin Rj, who is based in Riyadh just sent me a private message asking me about hair loss treatments. You see, he has been experiencing major hair loss ever since he stepped foot on that country, most probably it's from the unruly climate or weather (or whatever you call it) that it has, causing scalp irritation thus explains loss of his hair. Actually, even my husband told me about that too after a few weeks of staying there, but he managed to get over it by giving extra care to his hair - by not using hot water during his shower and bath time (that I find very impossible to believe! lol) So there, do you have any suggestion on what to use or do for him to avoid major hair loss?

happy and procrastinating

I admit, been procrastinating for sometime now that my friends literally bugged me every so often so that for me to start writing again. So after few days and nights of just thinking of things and wondering of the what nots, here I am, back to regular programming! I wish to share everything here with you, but then again, there are things that are better kept unsaid, as long as I am happy to where I stand now. Guess I wouldn't be needing this best age spot remover, because I'm on my natural high, happy state :D

pet hotel

Speaking of pets and the love of owning them again, once the husband settled here again with us - he promised to get our daughter her own pet, most probably a puppy, what breed? that is still the question for us to answer. Though I have been thinking of getting a Pug or a Beagle for the little princess, so she wouldn't have to take care of those big breeds of dogs, those two I mentioned are just the perfect size. Which we can actually groom or better yet, bring in to those posh Pet Sitting Business in the metro, where the famous pet owners bring their beloved dogs and cats for fab pampering time and then we can join and enter them on those dog shows too! Pretty neat huh? dear daughter would surely love that!
Ah, I remember when the husband focuses on his pitbull breeding sometime ago that we often bring them to those different kinds of dog shows and bring home major prizes too! What a way to flaunt our pets, spotlight for us all!
Anyways, speaking of pet sitting, I'm really glad to have this kind of business readily and easily available where you can bring in your pet and have them groomed up in a jiffy, and just like this www.petsuites.com that offers boarding and grooming all at the same time! I suggest you go check out their site and see more of their services and you'll be surprised! It's basically a hotel or spa hotel for pets! really nice!

love for dogs

Being a wife to a dog lover partner, I have already learned to love the thought of dog and taking care of them as part of our family. Though I grew up with a dog around but I'm not really the type who often cuddles and walks around the village with it on tow, so imagine how miserable the life of that dog having me as her master. Anyways, things actually changed when dear husband little by little introduce me to the real world of caring for these mutts. It was actually enjoyable I must admit, at first I was really hesitate to really get along with them but as time goes by, with the patience of the real dog owner, I grew to love every single one of them. And I owe it to my dear beloved, who truly love and adores dogs. Would you believe that he actually dreams of having his own K9 Training grounds in the future?! no kidding! that is how he really loves them, he wants to study and learn professionally the proper way of caring and training them to became good guard dogs. One of his favored trainers that are pro on this thing are the ones in the www.k-9companions.com - great reviews from dog owners on how this group really make sure to well trained ones pet.
Hopefully when the right time comes, he'll be able to achieve his dreams and have a well known training school form mutts just like k-9companions

summer plans for us this year

Summer is what, a few kicks away! Thus making friends busily marking down their calendar with family outings. Something that I just can't do now, unfortunately there will be no beach getaways for us this year, not even this all inclusive cancun vacations even if I wanted too, not until the husband comes back from working in another country. Hopefully next summer we can plan and have a great time on the beach or pool or whatever just like last year. And since I'm reminiscing here, I've decided to post a a very cute snap of my husband and daughter's pool bonding experience, taken by me during our last family summer trip :D

afraid of clowns

Do you like clowns?! because I don't. I dunno why, but maybe because it's their face paint or something or the expressions that they have or whatever. But then again, I better learn to love 'em because during the parties I cover they are practically on most part of it. In fact, for this month alone, I'd be seeing clowns for three times in different event that I will cover, and the irony of it all, they register well on my camera! So there, better start liking them little by little, in fact they didn't do anything nasty to me even when I was a kid, no traumatic experience whatsoever. Funny, I'm blabbing like crazy again now, better go and check out the best cross country moving near our place!

longchamp large

Now for this year, I am only looking at one bag to buy... yes, just one bag, will make sure to stick to that promise :D Since unfortunately I declined a job offer late last year ( for offering me to buy a project management software or something that I will use on my tasks - really pricey I had to decline), I am now thinking of just getting another bag instead. So you wonder what bag it is!? Longchamp, La Pliage tote (large) :D

hectic!

10 days has already passed since we start the new year, and where did the days had gone?! oh my! I think my mind needs a whole not of boost in order for me to work my butt out and catch up on all my tasks! You see, aside from my online readings that I need to do (read: rv repair and insurance matters), real life happenings are just too overwhelming! occasions like my mom and daughter's birthdays two weeks from now, arrival of my dad, some personal things to finish, meet up with friends, ordering of stuff for the parties (Olin's and my friend's too). See?! I'm really loaded with things to do right! so there, expect me to flood my sites with so many updates and posts :D

Right. Anyways, I made sure to take a lot of snap of her wearing it so Litzie will able to see :D And I succeeded! in fact, dear daughter is well cooperative that night that she practically posed with every piece of her loot! Such a darling babe, I know! Though we never got another piece of electric blanket we, especially the kiddo got so many stuffs (read: TOYS, lot's of TOYS) that I will blog about next! :D

vain

Now that the year is about to end, it's just another realization that a year has been added again to my age. Thus explains my wrinkles and fine lines appearance on my face! gotta find the best eye cream for wrinkles to immediately prevent further proof of me getting old! Call me vain or whatever but got to admit that we must start taking care of ourselves as early as now, before it's too late and wrinkles invades the wholeness of our face!

early Christmas party

It'll be my sister's class Christmas party tomorrow and my mom and I will be going to accompany her. Thus, it'll make my schedule for tomorrow jam pack with a lot of stuffs for we need sometime to prepare and head to the venue. And speaking of that, my sister needs to be there an hour or so before the scheduled time to check on the things and preparations like the welcome banner, stage designs, light fixtures and all. Will post photos of the event after! :D

dream and aim

I'm currently finishing all my pending tasks so to have time for my wii stint in a while! Got to read more about orlando vacations and it's offerings for travelers and trip hunters as well. I just hope they offer affordable packages just in case we'll have funds and time to take that said trip. It's a long shot I know, but who knows?! nothing is impossible if we aim high!

defending our business thesis

One of the most memorable during my College days was when we had our thesis study. It is when we create a group of supposedly entrepreneur and started planning a business that offers product or services. And then our group decided to put up a food snack business that we will establish somewhere near the city. It was really hard at first to think that we only based everything on books and lectures of our thesis professor. But what really makes us turn around a full 360% was when it was the time for advertising our product. We were almost set and ready to go for our defense when we realized that our advertising and marketing scheme is really weak compare to the other group that has presented. And that is when we decided to get the service of a Naming Company and then everything else follows, basically our marketing strategy were immediately covered up with the naming company we placed for it already covers the whole advertising section of the business. And I can say that it was indeed a very nice move for us, for we are able to defend our business in a very real way, as if it was true and the strategies put on it were amazingly convinced the panel.

nfl loots

It's almost the second week of December and I am still short on gifts to my godsons and daughters. What really makes it hard are the kids age ranges, especially for the boys, I am not aware of their likes at certain ages so it makes me wonder on what to give them. And when I try to ask their mom of what their kids love to receive they would just say, anything as long as it is from me. Argh. Really hard. So I might just ask the kids myself on what they want to get from me this year. Luckily I was able to ask one of my niece and asked him what he's up to now, like is he is into computer gaming or sports and good thing he answered the latter. You see, I've been doing a lot of reading about the site of nfluniformset.com and their offerings of cool NFL Jerseys of different football team and there are kids collection to choose from! which can positively makes my hunt for guys gift really easy, given if those godsons and nieces of mine are into this football thing. Which, I really hope so, that way, I'll be able to buy in bulk!
**this post is paid for by nfluniformset.com

cyber sale

Today is cyber monday, thus making most of the online shops offer great deals on all their items. And that is making me super tempted to shop for clothes and even office supplies that are surprisingly marked down. Well, that will surely be put up on sale at my mom's mini store since school and office supplies are basically in demand here. So we'll see if we can add a few to my cart.

new treadmill

Finally, after our long plan to buy fitness equipment for my sister's use, we were able to snag from my friend's surplus shop a brand new treadmill. It was such a great buy, for they sold it at a super cheap price! It was one good deal that is why, we never think twice when she told us about the items that just got in. Anyways, I will take photo of the said treadmill and blog about it as usual :D

seek for health insurance

Had a very busy weekend, run a lot of errands and finish online tasks that are about to due. And today, to start my week right, I've decided to search for insurance companies that can give us great coverage and best offerings. So what I'm doing now is search online and found this short term health insurance NC and learned that they have the best insurance offerings that I believe is very appropriate for the hard times like now, better be ready for uncalled for sickness.

new lappy for my sister

Now that Black Friday is just a few days away, my friends and I are already jotting down on our lists of stuff to get, basically to take advantage of the annual huge sale. So anyways, one of the things that I might possibly get is a new laptop - well, not for me though ( how I wish that it's for me) but it'll be for my sister, and what a lucky girl because it'll be given to her by our dad for her birthday this coming December. Anyways, my friend told me that we also get this freaking good antivirus software from sunbeltsoftware.com because it has been known and proven to be the most effective pc protection there is in the market today. And the reviews are basically good for it a lot has been attesting to the fact that this anti virus software doesn't slow down one's laptop, for the other well known software causes lag on internet connection or something. It also offer this Cutting-edge Proactive Protection and all-new technology: antivirus + antispyware engine! Now this sounds pretty good eh? And what I really like about this is that it doesn't charge yearly for renewal! so it's pretty cheaper on the long run. So there, gotta check out laptop unit firsts while there is still time to canvass online.

booked

A friend and her family went on a quick vacation to Florida and took advantage of the Thanksgiving celebration with their other relatives who also arrived from other states. Anyways, I heard that they got their accommodation bookings from destin that offers affordable hotel reservations. I wonder if this travel agency offers hotel reservations for the up coming Hong Kong vacation. Of whom you asked? secret! :D
