on web hosting

I know you heard about my inquiries for web hosting for my other non-active site. Been in and out of different websites that offers different bundles and packages for the domain and hosting of one's site. Then I found myself browsing through www.webhostinggeeks.com wherein I found a lot of stuff that could help me in building a new website. Plus the reviews and ratings chart they provided are very interesting indeed, being on the top as hosting providers, only means one thing, if you get your hosting from that site would simply make your life and your site a lot more effective and would probably get great cache and the likes. I also notice that there are many other types of hosting services that are available from them, from simple forum to email hosting and of course to what I am so interested with, blog hosting! And aside from the efficiency that they are promising, I can sense that they are also offering low cost pricing, compare to other hosting sites that would really scar your budget. With webhostinggeeks, they got bundles and packages to suit every one's need that is really affordable.

vacation dreaming

One of the many things the husband and I do for our bonding moments is by watching movies, yes we do go to the cinemas but we usually rent videos and buy dvd's of those we really love to watch over and over. Maybe one of the reason we love seeing foreign flicks is the location set itself, more often than not, we prefer those movies that has a great setting, like for example if it was set in the big apple, I mean, even if we are still clueless about that famous city because we never got the chance to travel that far, by seeing a movie captured in that place we can at least have an idea of the so many Things to do in New York City! It's just like having a moving tour, getting familiar in places surrounding the city. Of course, if given a chance, we would love to go places, there are so hundreds of dream vacation spots in our list actually, hoping and dreaming that in the future, we'll be able to fulfill that. But for now, what I can do is just browsed and surf around online travel guides being offered by tourists companies like the famous Trusted Tours & Attractions company, known for their for available discounted tickets and the best sight seeing tours for those who would want to travel. They are known for their best deals packages and detailed schedule like for example of things to do in San Francisco. Anyways, if you too are having this dream vacation planning or just want to surf and read, you can register in their newsletter sign-up page for future infos and promos.

cell

As I've mentioned on my other blog, one of the things that keeps me preoccupied this past few days are sites hopping on medicine related sites, you see after the medical check ups my daughter has undergone it actually made me a more paranoid mother! I mean, after learning that there are things you should take in particularly give attention to, like how your baby is growing, if it is according to her age or if she is delayed on this or that. That is why I am so thankful for parenting sites that gives almost all answers to my questions, and even more! Anyways, after browsing hundreds of sites, there is this one thing that caught my attention, it is about this Cryo-Cell Innovative Stem Cell Solutions it is actually made to and by Cryo-Cell's "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" a stem cell procedure being taken from the baby's umbilical cord, since the cells from their own umbilical is 100% match for your baby and there is also a 1 in 4 possibility that your newborn's U-Cord specimen may be a match for his or her siblings and even to the mother and mother's relative! This protect baby, protect mom combination service provides enhanced family safeguard protection and a family healthcare investment that may potentially increase in value over time as regenerative medical therapies emerge. Actually when I was still pregnant I already heard about this but the thing is there are only few or only one hospital that do this, and the fact that it actually cost more than a hundred thousand bucks. But from what I read on the official website, this "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" Special Limited-Time Introductory Offer for those interested to get this procedure done. So if you are interested, check out their site for more informations.

On Rainy Days

something from N@W forum... Rainy Thursday Q's
here it goes...

1. Complete this sentence.
I hate it when it rains because I cannot wear pants when going out for it well surely get wet!

2. My number one comfort food during rainy days is: Champorado or Lugaw with tokwa't baboy! oh so yummy!

3. What is the worst typhoon event you can remember (year and/or typhoon name) and why?
For me it was MILENYO... I saw how it damages a lot of properties in our area... tsk,tsk,tsk..

4. Were you allowed to play in the rain when you were a child? What was the experience like? Would you allow your kids to play in the rain?
Most of the time no. My mom only allows me if my neighborhood friends are already playing in the rain, when she sees me so green with envy! then she allows me... for a good fifteen minutes! kill joy! wahahaha

5. Is there something you and hubby love to do together on a rainy day? (c'mon 'fess up.we're all adults here.we could use some R-18 posts once in a while)
We both love rainy days! that is when we can cuddle all day, eat and sleep kind of thing. But when he has to work, I just focus on my handcrafted jewelry making, from glass and plastic beads -this was when I was pregnant. But now that we have a kid in tow, we three cuddled all day.

Father's Day

We actually celebrated Father's Day last Saturday, went out malling, just the three of us. Since we have no plans whatsoever for Sunday but to hear mass until an invitation for an impromptu Tagaytay getaway from my in laws. Anyways, here are some of the photos I took using my camera phone at the mall, it was the little girl's day out as you can see. She had so much fun riding all those token rides, she almost rode all of those kiddie rides! good thing it was only six pesos per ride (?) not sure though.


We also had our grocery shopping done that day, and I canvassed for a hard disk memory in the computer supplies shops at the third floor too, way to expensive, thus made me decide to pass for the purchase.

the photo above were taken after her kiddie ride moments, she doesn't want to leave actually, can you see how sad she was? bitin pa nga! lol

Father's day... Went to Tagaytay with the in laws, we had lunch there and then accompany my MIL to Mohogany Market to buy beef meat.. after some pasyal we went to the Pink Sister's Chapel for the 5pm mass.

Here is the little brat outside the church, since we couldn't stay inside for she always shouts her heart out! anyways, lookie, she now can wear pants! :)

And here is our super close up family picture to cap off my Father's day post... :) and yeah, had to pass by Mushroom Burger (FIL craved for some burgers) before we leave the foggy city...

nada

Tomorrow is Father's day, and guess what? we haven't got any present ready for my dad and my father in law. Bummer I know, but there is always next time right? or maybe we can get something for them in the next few days to come, just when we have enough moolah to cover for that. Last year I was able to give my dad (he was here for a vacation last dad's day) one of those personalized gifts that I ordered online, a caricature art of him in an twenty by twenty four canvass. He loved it totally! it is displayed in their bedroom. But I still believe that it is not the present that would every occasion memorable, but its the presence and the love we give to every celebrant.
And to all the fathers out there specially to my husband.... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

3rd

Last June 10 was the 3rd birthday of my niece slash inaanak Julianna, we celebrated it the simplest way just like what her older sister had a few weeks back. Closest friends and family came to greet her on her special day, but as I notice there were only few gifts she was able to received. And yes, I wasn't able to get her a gift too! because we weren't got any spare time to run to the mall and get her a toy or something. If only there are clickable sites like www.buy.com where we can easily order some of the famous yet affordable best buy items over the net, I'm sure we won't have to attend a party empty handed with a gift.

the kids who were so happy while singing Happy Birthday for the 5th time! :)

the cousins blowing the candle

the super kulit celebrant Julianna

But anyways, there is always a next time to get her one, and yeah, although we weren't able to give her a gift, I were able to prepare some yummy gelatin for her party! I guess, it wasn't that bad after all, right?

Happy Birthday Julianna! We love you!

rant for wednesday

I couldn't believe this! after my morning bathroom routine earlier I found out that we need to buy another set of bathroom faucets because the one attached to the lavatory just conked up! For two straight weeks, three broken faucets?! what's up with that huh? Are we the faucet destroyer family or what?! Now we have to schedule a hardware and supplies visit within this week for a replacement of another damaged item in the bathroom. Another slash in the pocket, for we have to get a more tougher replacement for that, and that would mean five hundred bucks or more for a set! Who wouldn't hate sudden expense right? Anyways, enough of the rants and raves now, need to cook lunch first and will be back with tags and my weekly meme's.

me now

A friend who saw me a few days ago asked me if I am taking some weight loss pills because as she said, I'm getting back to my pre pregnancy body. But unfortunately she's way too wrong! I mean, I haven't loose a single pound for like three months or so. And no, I am not taking diet pills either, I would really wanted too, you know, but the husband wouldn't want me to. He says that I can shed some weight in a natural way like by doing regular exercises and limit myself from chocolates and junkies. Anyways, here is my photo with my little girl (while making face) yesterday. I might look thin here, but no! my tummy bulges are just somewhere there, hiding! lol

we hope and dream

Of course every couple has dream, just like others, the husband and I have ours too. Someday we want to have our own sets of assets, the tangible one we most likely to prefer. Anyways, we are hoping to have and own a piece or two of buildings that can be rented for commercial use, and if we also can an apartment houses just like what my parents has too. It is a shoot in a star kind of dream, but everything is possible if you dream big and work hard for it. One day, we hope that we can also have those intricate Property Management Software like from Siterra system that has a collaborative software for planning, site selection, project management, maintenance and lease administration of every assets. This is so nice, its basically taking good care of ones assets.

must see


Call me Star Cinema fanatic or whatever, but while everyone raves about the Sex and the City flick, I on the other hand is so excited to watch Sharon Cuneta's Caregiver. For the record, I am not a Sharonian, but when I come to think of it, almost all of her movies were watched by yours truly, so I guess, just like John Lapuz, I am a Sharonian. Now I'm confused. Anyways back to the movie, one of the many reasons why I would definitely watch this is because it was partly shot in London which is one of my dream destination and how the story deals about the life of our fellow Pinoy workers abroad, I can truly relate because like my father, he also has to leave us, his family in order to provide us a good and comfortable life. I mean, life away from your loved ones is double the pain than to what we, the family members experience here. But they are doing this to give us a better life, thats why. I even remember whenever we talks about my father's struggles in the States away from us, he tells us how he misses his family but whenever reality comes back in, kicking, he then realizes that this is what he has to do in order to earn a little more than to what he can earn here in the Philippines, imagine if he chose to continue working, maybe he wouldn't be able to get himself and the family a life insurance investment or even our own house that we have now. That is why, the husband and I are still so hoping to be able to work outside the country, for at least be able to save up for our future specially for our daughter's. Just what every Filipino Overseas workers wants and work for.

different cruise

Got another happy news yesterday, another friend just got in a cruise line job! it's amazing I know, having it known to be one of the highest paying job of a sea worker, being employed in a cruise ship is worth it, specially if you are assigned in one of those tip enable positions. You just got to be fit and smart to actually qualify in their scrutinizing procedures of hiring, anyways this friend of mine is soon to leave in the next few weeks, and she just told me that she will aboard one of those Christian Cruises in Europe, Christian Cruise?! yes, you just got that right. Those are cruises that most of the time holds Christian believers packed with bible encounters and religious activities. Bible Cruises as what it is also called are for those who wanted to have a vacation at the same time a vocation, it is like rekindling with their religious side and visiting religious places to get in touch with their faith and sort. Well, just like any luxury cruises, it has vast activities too you know, but has a Christian and religious touch most of the time to stick with its cruise theme. Sounds interesting right? Oh I just can't wait for more stories from my dear friend, I know she'll do good in that ship so no worries whatsoever.

Hope this helps

How would you like to be free from all your credit card debts? Sounds interesting I know, like me, I really need some good help when it comes to helping myself and totally be able tostop debt and other matters related to it. That is why I really read and study the proposals being sent to me so I can finally decide on how to finally settle everything. I mean, being a stay at home mother and home maker without a monthly salary paying for all my credit card dues is really pain in that part, you know what I mean. Anyways, having to save up for a hefty amount every month end is really drying me out, it can stress the whole out of me, and the sad part is that sometimes I need to pass on the due dates set for me making the interest blows up to the higher level. So there, a few days ago I happen to pass this site www.aca4help.com and learned that there are still hope for people like me when it comes to settling debt and credit card relief! With their many optional programs, one can really choose what can suit their capability on settling their debts and finally work on the process and become totally debt free! Something I really really need.

invites

A friend of mine will be giving birth in the next couple of months, and some of our other friends are already talking about surprising her with a baby shower, just like what I had during my 8th month of pregnancy. Anyways, to start with I am scouting for cute yet classy baby shower invitations to order, you see most of the friends we will be giving out this invites are young professionals, so I guess it's really nice if we can stick with a classy look style of an invitation right? Good thing I was able to browse on the products of vistaprint.com wherein hundreds of invitations are available for order. I was even quite surprised to find out that the price are really affordable and the lay outs are all so nice, I'm now having a hard time choosing! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to forward this to one of my female partner in this party so she can help me with the decision on to what design to get. The shipping cost is also pocket friendly I must tell you, but we might have it ship to one of our home coming friend so we can have a free shipping cost! now that's a wise decision eh?!

drink and drive

Been reading a lot or reviews and news about the rising Arizona Boating accidents in connection with Boating Operating Under the Influence of alcohol and prohibited drugs. I realized that it is not only possible in the roads for this kinds of accidents to happen, I mean, even on water there are lists of accidents being encountered by the youths because of being under the influence of alcohol. That is why, the state made or created a Boating Education Online for the people to learn and study about the consequences they may face if they still manipulate and ride a boat when they are drunk. Boating Education are also being given to the locals so as to learn responsible handling and riding of such ride. This program is made to combat the rising numbers of incidents and accidents that continually occurring in Arizona State. Something everyone must keep an eye on. This is in fact made for their safety.
