Havaianas Lighthouse

Since cheska's havaianas did not last for a year, my husband and I did not want to buy her another pair of havs. Then we bought her a pair of islanders for her to use at home. Do you know that it also did not last a very long time. It only lasted for 6 months. So when we went to megamall last friday, we stopped by chocolate and I bought her havaianas lighthouse. I could not refuse these as it looked so cute on my daughter.

Looking For A Better Memory Deal

So many people are thinking of upgrading their desktop computers but they do not know where to go and get the best deals. They want to get memory upgrades but the problem is they do not want to spend so much because if they did, they might as well buy a new computer desktop or a new laptop. My brother is actually planning to upgrade his desktop computer. He uses it for playing network games. He plays with it all night and sometimes all morning. He is planning for 4 GB RAM Memory Upgrade. My mom already upgraded hers and she actually bout an external memory drive . So back to my brother, he is currently browsing through computer memory deal one at a time looking for a better memory deal. I am also thinking of buying an external memory and I am going to use it for storing pictures.

There is a site where my brother is currently browsing through. It is called memorydeal.net and it specializes in factory original modules, thus the reason for it's great price. Memory deal is the best place online to get good buys for your computer memory upgrade. I know my brother is seriously considering buying from them and he has been recommending this site to all of us.

Earth Hour 2008

Let us do our share. Let us give back to Mother Earth. Let us help alleviate global warming. Let us help each other. I will do my part, no laptops, no electricity, nothing at 8 pm tonight. It is just for an hour. If we do it together, it will be significant.

Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

EARTH HOUR

Another Talent Scout

I have so many things to say and hopefully I will not be able to forget them all. First off yesterday after my daughter's check up, cheska wanted to go to a play room so as we were walking towards there. A girl approached us and asked me if I want to put cheska in a commercial. I only smiled. Then she said that her casting agency already placed dozens of kids in commercials, the latest one is purefoods. She mentioned something about a little boy that had a mustache in the commercial. Then I said I have to ask her dad pa. Then she asked me if this is the first time that we were approached. Sabi ko no, 2nd. Hahaha! Yabang! Then she asked what casting agency. I said Cosmopolitan. But that was 2 years ago when she was still 1 year old. Hehehehe. So ayun she gave me her card and an appointment slip. Then she said, I hope pumayag ung daddy. Naku when I called him immediately after, excited na excited. Hehehe.

So the casting agency texted me this morning confirming cheska's vtr appointment and I have yet to say yes because cheska does not want to. Mahiyain kasi ang anak ko mana sa kin. Hehehe. So we will just see if we will go.. hehehe.. I have yet to convince my child. Update ko nalang kayo. :)

A Ten-Second Break

I am still awake because I am a procrastinator, 2 more articles.... than I can go to slumberland. Tomorrow I will bring my daughter for her follow-up eye check up. I will probably spend 2 hours tomorrow at gloria maris to do a couple of posts.

I watched ANC nga pala. Hehehehe. Wala lang.. deadma. :P

Back to work. Wishin for some Zzzzzzz's.

Pending, Pending

I have 5 articles (400 words each) pending today. Plus 20 blog posts for over 100 words each. I hope to get them all finished. Wala lang.. so just in case you won't hear from me... i am just here.. banging my head on the wall.

Hehehe! Joke! Toodles!

Flowers Anyone?

I love receiving flowers although I know it is not practical because you can buy something that is more lasting. Even if it's not practical, the feeling of being loved is just priceless. My husband rarely gives flowers and when he does you can actually feel the love that he has for me. And I love that he rarely does that because there was a time when I used to receive flowers everyday and it went to the point that I did not appreciate flowers anymore. You see I really married the right man for me.

So if you are looking for a flower site, since mother's day is just around the corner or for any occasion that you might just have, well you can check out beyondblossoms.com for an enjoyable flower buying experience. So it will be enjoyable for the giver as well as the one being given the flowers to.

Just Plain Busy

I am almost done with my blogging love.. almost but not quite. And when I am done I will eventually proceed to my online job. No more rest time or a nap break today. Cheska will have to be with the yaya but I also check what she is up to once in a while. Like right now, Cheska will take her afternoon nap with the yaya. During the previous days (ever since I resigned), I was the one who puts her to bed but since I can't her yaya can do it for me. Good thing my daughter seems to understand the situation because she was the one who asked for the yaya.

Desperately Need Exercise

I told myself time and time again to use the exercise bike thingy in the house. And for days on end, I have not used it. Ack! I desperately need some kind of exercise. My clothes do not fit me anymore, especially my pants! And I am one size bigger at Kamiseta now. So dang! I think I will be back to my previous "hate" weight of 126 lbs. I am already close to it now. Yesterday at LTO, they took my weight and it's at 122 lbs. So 4 lbs to go and people will tell me I look pregnant again. Boo hooo hoo! So yeah I definitely need exercise but how can I when my schedule is so damn tight. I hope I can exercise and sleep at the same time because I could barely even find time for sleep let alone exercise.

I am thinking of buying a treadmill, although I am still looking for one that can hold a laptop so I can type at the same time as I am walking (because it would be hard to type and run at the same time). Hahaha!

Honda Radiators

My elder sister has a Honda car and my younger brother also has his Honda car and I know my eldest sister is going to have a Honda car for herself in the next few days. Anyways, since they are such Honda lovers. They would love to know where they could get Honda Radiator just in case they need to find replacement. They could get it at radiators.com. They have over 60,000 different radiators and aircon condensors. We sure need those condensors during the summers don't we? And I am pretty sure they have every make and model. And aside from those radiators they also have a huge bin of candy that they give out as a thank you for every purchase of radiator.

Anyways, we are almost complete as we are waiting for my 2 other pamangkins, Aaron and Andrew. They will be here by April, I hope in time for my husband's birthday.

And speaking of birthdays.. what to give.. what to give. Note to self, I hope there is a havaianas store for kids there as I have to buy new flip flops for cheska.

Blister Prevention Patch For Me

If there is one thing that I hate when I buy new shoes, it is blisters. I hate to break in new shoes so that is the main reason why I hate shopping for closed shoes. Good thing, I do not do that anymore since I no longer go the office. However, I cannot not wear closed shoes all the time right. So if ever I need to wear them, I find a perfect solution for me. I could just go and buy myself an ENGO Blister Prevention patch. These patches have been awarded by the National Health and Wellness Club. So there is a safety seal plus the fact that it is effective for preventing blisters. I am prone to blisters that is why I need them How about you? Are you prone to blisters too?

18 Foods That Make Your Skin Glow

I just need to post this so I can read this later on. I found this at yahoo.

Here’s her (Manhattan dermatologist Amy Wechsler, MD) grocery list of best foods for your skin.

The skin doc’s 3 top picks: SWEET POTATOES, TOMATOES, CANTALOUPE

What they do: Replenish your skin’s supply of antioxidants, so they're ready to scarf up free radicals whenever they make an appearance. Free rads are highly reactive oxygen molecules that damage cells and contribute to just about everything that can go wrong with skin, from dryness to crinkles.

Fresh and Juicy

Your body can’t store much wrinkle-fighting vitamin C, so you need to keep your supplies stoked. The easiest, simplest way: Have some citrus every day.

The skin doc’s 4 top picks: ORANGES, LEMONS, LIMES, GRAPEFRUIT

Actually, ounce for ounce, oranges are the top citrus C source but you can only eat so many, right? For variety, make lemonade, squeeze limes on melon, add grapefruit to salad, and instead of drinking soda, fizz up OJ with sparkling water. It all adds up.

What they do: Keep skin’s vitamin C levels high. While C’s a nifty antioxidant, that’s not the key reason it’s here. It helps keeps collagen -- the supportive protein fibers that stop skin from sagging -- strong and resilient. (Flimsy collagen means lines and wrinkles.) Since collagen breakdown really picks up in your mid-30s, eat citrus early and often to head off aging.

Smoothing and Soothing
There’s a particularly potent antioxidant known as EGCG that does all kinds of good things for skin. The best place to find it? True teas: black, green, or white (not herbal). Brew a teapot full every morning, so that sipping four to six cups throughout the day is a no-brainer.

The skin doc’s #1 pick: GREEN TEA

While all true teas contain EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), the various types of green tea have the most. Wechsler’s personal favorite is hojicha green tea (available at http://www.adagio.com/). “The roasting process that turns this green tea a brownish color also lowers its caffeine content,” she says -- handy if you’re caffeine sensitive or it’s one of those days when you do not need another stimulant.

What it does: Gives your skin a healthy dose of EGCG, which is a great multi-tasker. EGCG puts a damper on inflammatory chemicals involved in acne and sun-related skin aging; it also helps prevent skin cancer; and it has a lion-tamer effect on tumor cells. What’s more, green tea contains L-theanine, a de-tensing amino acid -- and anything you can do to staunch the flow of the stress hormone cortisol helps keep collagen fibers intact.

Green and Leafy
Certain dark leafy greens, whether they’re fresh, frozen, raw, or steamed, really deliver on vitamin A, one of the most skin-essential vitamins going.

The skin doc’s 3 top picks: SPINACH, TURNIP GREENS, BROCCOLI

What they do: Deliver a hefty supply of vitamin A, which supports skin cell turnover, the process that keeps cell growth and development humming along flawlessly. Without enough A, skin becomes dry, tough, and scaly.

Fisherman’s Faves
Several cold-water catches give your skin a double benefit: age-fighting omega-3 fatty acids plus the restorative powers of protein.

The skin doc’s 7 top picks: SALMON, TROUT, TUNA, ATLANTIC MACKEREL, SARDINES, PACIFIC HERRING, MOST SHELLFISH

Just don’t, uh, go overboard. As good as omega-3s are for skin (and the rest of you, too), worries about the amount of mercury in many fish mean it’s smart to limit seafood to two meals a week. That’s a must for women who are or might become pregnant or are nursing, and for young children, too. (Go here for the government’s fish guidelines.)

What they do: Omega-3s fight inflammation, now considered one of the top skin-agers, and they also help protect against sunburn, enhancing the effects of your SPF sunscreen. Protein is required to build and repair skin cells and to make enzymes and hormones that help keep it glowing.



Fill your weekly grocery cart with all of the above foods and you won’t just look younger, you’ll be younger. Eating at least 1 serving of fish a week and getting the right amount of antioxidants through diet or supplements lower your biological age. In fact, the antioxidants alone can make your RealAge up to 6 years younger.

Thanks Ruth

I was able to receive the gift that you gave to me. Thanks ruthie for remembering! Picture to be posted later on as I am running out of time. Cheska wanted to get it for herself sabi ko bawal pa sa kids. Anyways, I miss our lunch outs and our chicka moments. I know I need to catch up on your kwento. Hehehe. Bitin! Anyways, ang bilis ng mga araw and March is almost over. I might not drop by this week as promised because grabe ang schedule ko!!! Huhuhu. If you only know I can barely sleep now. Or I sleep but I wake up in the wee hours of the morning just to finish everything.

I'll try next week ha.

Descuento En Hoteles (Discounts In Hotels)

You see a learned a little Spanish back in College where I had a couple of spanish subjects in both 1st and 2nd year. So anyways, I was browsing through the world wide web and I found a site where Spanish travelers can find descuento en hoteles. This site is especially made for them as they can book their hotels online without a spanish to english dictionary in sight. Hotels.com just made it easier for them as I am sure they working hard to do it for all the other languages. Spanish travelers can trust hotels.com as they are the experts in booking hotels online and on the phone. So when you call them, you will be able to speak to them in Spanish or whatever language you are comfortable with.

Do What It Says

I find it so funny that even my horoscope is telling me to hurry up... just take a look at this.

You should always think before speaking, but today you shouldn't think for too long! There is a fine line between mulling things over and putting things off. If you don't pounce on a hot opportunity today, it will cool off. Or worse, someone else will beat you to the punch. It might seem like a good idea to weigh all the pros and cons, but it's not. If your gut tells you to go for it, then you should go for it. Faster action will get you quicker rewards.

Hahahaha! Pano ba yan.. bilisan ko pa daw. :)

No More Article Writing For Me

My boss just called and he said since his blog topics are piling up. He asked me if I could stick to the blog posts and he would just give the article writings to his other writer. Actually he asked me what I wanted to do more of, I (of course) said blog writing. I am much more comfortable with that. You cannot see my blog writings, the ones that I do for him since I, myself, do not know where they go. So yey for me! I do around (on the average) 40 blog posts, minimum of 100 words per day for him. The article writings are 400 words minimum. And I have to do around 2 articles per day (on the average). So yeah, taking out the article writing and adding more blog posts is fine with me.

So you see how it would pile up, sometimes. Please do not count my own personal blog posts and the bloggging love posts that I do for myself.

Baby Things

Ever since my sister gave birth and my other best friend also gave birth, I have been thinking of giving personalized baby gifts to give them. Something unique, something nice. Something that even the moms would appreciate. There is a site where I can shop online, it is babynest.com and just like the name of the company, it is a baby nest because you can find all that you need and even want in the website.

What can I say? Just by looking at the website makes me want a baby much, much more. Just take a look at this giraffe swimsuit. Wouldn't a baby girl look cute in this?

So Many Things To Do

I have so many things to do today. Aside from my online job, I have a lot of expiring opps. Nyahahaha. I can't complain, must not complain. I was supposed to get my driver's license today (yes the card since I had the test yesterday) but since I do not have the time. I might be getting it tomorrow instead or the day after that. Bahala na si batman. Andon lang naman yun.

Very Wise Words

If there was one teaching that stuck to me, it is to always learn something new, even if it would mean additional expenses for you. Do not wait for the company where you are working for to send you to a training, spend for the training yourself. If you think you will learn something and it will improve your skills, then go for it. Do not think of yourself as an employee but rather think of yourself as a resource. So you will never be stagnant. Those are the words of my previous boss, MVA, hehehe. I will forever remember it and I will teach this also to my daughter. Very wise words from a very wise boss. I never really thanked her for her teachings.

So I keep telling this to my husband and just very recently he attended an it training on cisco which makes him more hireable (if there is such a term). Even if the training already ended, I saw him during the Holy Week vacation going over his cisco manuals. He is also looking at different tech schools that he could enroll in. I know he is planning to improve his it skills and I know there is one technical school that he is eyeing for to learn more programming languages.

Car Accident Lawyer

We have already been involved in a couple of car accidents and good thing, these car accidents were only minor ones and the insurance has always covered the expenses. But I know that car accidents always happen all the time especially now when people seem to be angrier on the road more. I always tell my husband to be more careful.

When you get in a car accident and you need an atttorney, why don't you get an Austin car accident attorney. They will help you with the legalities of car accidents because the truth of the matter is the pain happens after the accident happens so get yourself an attorney and please do not sign anything without the presence of your lawyer.

Horton Hears A Who!

Cheska, Romel and I have just watched Horton Hears A Who The Movie this afternoon at Robinson’s Galleria. Since I know most of you have not watched it yet, all that I will allow myself to say is…. Ang ganda! I definitely recommend it to the kids and adults alike. I just love what Horton kept on saying the entire movie which is “a person’s a person, no matter how small”

The movie is based on the book by Dr. Seuss (oh and how we love Dr. Seuss' books don't we?) And I am so glad that we were able to watch it today as there were only a trinkle of us who watched it. Naku, I would expect a different scenario tomorrow, when everybody will be back from their respective vacations. I am pretty sure the movie house (and malls) will be jampacked.

Snappity, Snappity, Snapbomb

Do you know that there are still more blog advertising sites that you can get your hands into? I first saw a blog post about snapbomb at a friend's (Maver) blog about a month ago. And then I saw it again at Hazel's blog. I signed up but did not immediately post a review until I saw a few other blogging friends do a review about Snapbomb, including chelle.

From this, you will get to see that blog advertising really works since their blog posts encouraged me to try out snapbomb and what can i say but it is another way to add a little something to my savings. And you might want to get into the snapbomb bandwagon too. Try it out!

So do the buzz and get the cash with snapbomb.

Jennifer Lopez' Twins

I was surfing this afternoon and looked what I found, a picture of Jennifer Lopez' twins.. Awww! So heart warming. This picture was taken from people.com. And rumors say that it cost people magazine a couple of million dollars.Can I just say that I also want twins. Hahahaha!

Get A LoudSiren

I just finished researching on the dangers of the world wide web and it really is dangerous. It is like going out in the middle of the night when there are lots of thieves, rapists, kidnappers and other people that could do you harm. So what if you need to go out there? You just can't stay inside your house forever. You have to go out some time. You need to be productive. So what you do is to protect yourself, protect yourself with LoudSiren. It is just like having a body guard around you all the time, or those equipments such as a tear gas that will make the thief hesitant to approach you. Thieves will be afraid to approach you, your bank accounts and regular credit cards through the use of your personal information

So think about it, LoudSiren, can solve all your fears on the internet. LoudSiren.com will instantly call you as soon as somebody opens an account under your name. So you will have the option to approve or deny the application. You can leave up to 3 contact numbers with them so they will be able to contact you whenever it's needed.

I SEARCH… for things to buy.

I WONDER… if I will be able to sleep early tonight. As I have already finished with my online job.

Food Connect

Just last night, I was chatting with Romel's sister and we were discussing our plans for the summer. She is planning to put up a (food) business while I told her that I am thinking of learning how to bake. So that my daughter and I can have some new bonding activity. I know she loves to cook as I see her play with her cooking toys and whenever I do something in the kitchen, she always wants to do it too. So sometimes you would see us arguing even if it's just juice that we are making because she wants to do it.

There is a site called http://www.foodconnect.com where I can go to and get recipes from some of the recipes submitted there. I know my mom would love this site also as she has been telling me how she gets recipes from other food blogs.

Just check this Chocolate Souffles that I just saw in foodconnect.com, the picture made my stomach grumble. Hahahaha. I sure want to learn and make some of these. For the recipe, click on chocolate souffles.
If you want to share your recipe, this site is also perfect for you. Plus, you can share techniques and get some new food techniques from other food experts too. As for me, I will be coming back for more recipes. Lol!

Havaianas High

When I got home yesterday. I got a very pleasant surprise. I was meaning to buy another pair of havaianas but I haven't got the time since there was always something else I had to buy or I get distracted and I buy something else. When she sent me an sms asking if I want pink or white. I thought she was asking me if they should be buying a pink or white nds light protective casing for her daughter, Julia. So I automatically said pink because they got a white nds.

So my sister gave me havaianas high light pink flip flops. It goes well with my new bag. Thankie! Thankie! Yey!

Video Game Contest

If there is one common interest that both my hubby and I have, it is video games. Actually, I think even my daughter loves video games. I got it from my mom who also loves video games and we were never deprived of game consoles and video games ever since we were little. Whatever was new in the market, my mom would make sure that we have it.

Now, I found this (for all of your game lovers out there), it is a 2K Sports Hit-N-Run Tour page on Facebook. It is a music and sports video gaming tour and you can get a copy of it by participating in the daily giveaway contest. You can join the contest just by pressing enter. It is as easy as that. So there is no need to dole out any of your hard earned money. All you got to do is press enter. Remember, it is a a music and sports video gaming tour so it will be all worth it.

What Time Of Day Am I?

I am a 2:11 am

Your time of day has a split personality -- sometimes it's sweat-streaked and loud, and you're on the dance floor, getting your third wind, and shouting lyrics like you'll never run out of energy. You are the time of night that carves itself into your memory forever, because you'll never forget how much you love these people and this moment and this song. It's not always about unforgettable parties, though. Sometimes your late night (err? early morning) burst of energy happens when you're home alone. Those are the times when you say, "I flat out refuse to go to sleep until I finish reading this book, or typing this page, or reorganizing my entire closet." In either case, you are the time of night when it feels sort of forbidden to be awake, but you love accomplishing something special long after everyone else went to bed. And hey -- you can always catch up on sleep tomorrow, right?

THIS IS SO TRUE!!! Hahaha. It is almost 1 am and I am still doing my online work. O dibA! Galing!

I got this from bex' and jula's blog sites. Thanks!

Done For Tonight

For the first time, in a very long time, I finished all my required assignments for the day. That would include my online job and my personal opps. I am so happy!!! Why am I still blogging ?!?!?!? I am so pathetic because I do not know what to do with my time anymore. Hahahaa! Aside from watching American Idol and Spongebob. I do not watch tv. Masyado na ata akong nasanay na nakaharap sa computer. I am thinking of doing my articles for tomorrow so Cheska and I could go to the mall in the afternoon. Might as well postpone it first since cheska's eye hasn't totally healed yet. That is why we are bringing her to the doctor again on Saturday.

Easter Is Up

I am listing down all the gifts that I am planning to give to my family and a few of my friends. I have already given gifts to a few of them. I still have lots to give gifts to and I am currently running out of ideas, plus I think I need discount coupons with coupon codes since I want to stay on my budget. Actually I plan to give it on or before Easter and Easter is just a few days away. Good thing couponchief.com is still here.

Since my sister's baby is such a cutie. He is the newest addition to the family. I plan to give him toys that I can buy at babycenter. They have a lot of cute items. Good thing there are babycenter coupons for that. Not that I am getting stingy. My purpose is to be able to buy more. Lol! Oh and there are lots of good items at gap for both men and women, so might as well get myself some gap coupons.

Hubby's Latest Baby

Hubby's latest baby, his psp slim. He brings it with him everyday to the office. Actually everywhere he goes. While I bring my nintendo ds (for cheska). So whenever there is a place where we have to wait for a long time, I no longer hear complaints and I no longer see frowns. I see smiling faces.

Family Heirloom

My friend is a collector of rare gold coins. Maybe she got it from her mom who collects it too or her great grandmother. They are a family who collects gold coins. I find it admirable as they pass it on from generation to generation and it is their family heirloom. They have told me about zoomcoin.com and they told me if I want to start collecting coins that is where I could buy rare coins. I think I will start my own family tradition and I can pass it on to my daughter and she can pass it on too.

And The Saga Continues

Nope people, he has not been paid. Lol! Probably, so many people were alarmed that he had to come right out to say that. Anyways, I am glad that he is ok. My husband said that I am so affected by what's been happening to him. And that I should stop reading his blog. Maybe I am affected. But I do not think I will be able to stop myself from reading (his blog) from time to time.

Are You A Coffee Drinker?

My husband is a coffee drinker as well as the rest of the family. Everybody in Manila seemed to become coffee lovers. I am not much of a coffee drinker. I seem to be more partial to tea. Anyways, there is a more sought after coffee and it is made from Kona Kava Farm (Hawaii), check it out at www.konakavafarm.com. It can help to reduce stress, add enjoyment, and increase the overall sense of well-being. Who does not crave that? I can transform and become a coffee lover with Kava Kava.

Hawaiians say "We love our ‘Awa, and it isn’t the “National Drink of Fiji” for no reason".

Is This The End?

I do not know what happened but the blog regarding dj montano finally ended. I do not know if dj finally paid him or the families who were mentioned there pitched in and paid him or maybe the death threats got to him or maybe somebody might have successfully hacked his blog. I do not know. Basta the blog just ended. I hope somebody could shed light on this and I really hope he is ok. And I sincerely hope he got his money. Sana he could have said they paid up and I am ok or something to that effect.

Scary naman yung one liner na yun.

Let Buzzfuse Do The Driving

We all know how we can make more money if we can drive more traffic to our blogs, that's what the linky links are for and all the other tags that have a long list of bloggers in them.

Aside from the linky links there's a faster way to do it and that's what makes Buzzfuse.com great because it does exactly that. It promotes our blogs and we just got to register and voila! Now, all you have to do is sit back and relax. :)

Ace Water Spa

Last February 28, we went to Ace Water Spa to relax. We woke up very early in the morning, ate breakfast there and spent the whole morning just going through all that Ace Water Spa has to offer. I was with my parents, my husband, daughter and brother.

Ace Water Spa, a Day Spa: Ace Water Spa is a Day Spa and not a Destination Spa, so we don’t have rooms or accommodations for overnight stay. Ace Water Spa is also not a Resort, but should be compared more to a spa with massage. Ace Water Spa is a Department of Tourism (DOT) accredited Day Spa.

- Ace Water Spa offers a 3,000 square meter Indoor All-Weather Facility.

-9 Heated Pools which temperature remains constant regardless of any weather condition, temperature ranging from 30 to 40 degrees.

- One cold pool at 12 degrees to shut down your pours.

- The only 25m, 5 lane, indoor heated swimming pool in the Philippines using the latest infinite pool technology. Unique anti-wave lanes from Taiwan.

- 25 X 25meter Spa Pool with 25 different hydrotherapy massage systems which are push button & soft touch activated. Fully automated individual massages have built-in timers that run 3 to 5 minutes per massage. You can repeat the massage as often as you want or try all the different massages scattered around the spa pool.

- 6 Hot Herbal Pool with 36, 38 and 40 degree pools with back and foot massage. Lavender, Jasmine and Mint herbs added to the hot pool. It’s aromatherapy and it’s good for the skin.

- 4 Large Wet Steam and Dry Sauna Rooms.

- Kiddies Pool with Mushroom Shower and water cannons.

- A Lazy River that flows around the spa pool where kids and parents can have a bonding experience. Free use of boards, vests and floaters for all ages.
- A Fun Floor Fountain, a sure hit for kids. We also have a water bucket for kids at the Hot Pool area.

- Large lockers rooms that can accommodate 200 male/female guests with free use of locker, soap and shampoo. Hairdryers can be used for free as well as gels and other toiletries.

- A large rest area where you can lie down, rest and watch TV while taking a break.

- Ace Coffee Lounge, a full service Coffee shop with good food at affordable prices.

Orlando Vacation

I was able to go to Orlando Florida with my family but we did not stay long because we had a schedule to keep. We stayed for only 2 days (or was it 3) which was sad really as Florida is one of the more beautiful places in the USA. Aside from the place, the people are kind and beautiful. Everybody was bright and shiny. They were always smiling and nodding heads to each other as if everybody knew everybody else. I got a couple of nods too.

I vowed to myself that I will return. And when I do, and when that time comes, I plan to stay a little longer (longer than 2 days) Lol! So I have to have places to stay and sleep in and that's when I need Orlando Hotel Discounts because I would want to enjoy every little part of Orlando and that would mean expenses. So I need all the discounts I could get my hands on.

Pictures taken during our stay there. (I took pictures of the souvenir pictures that I had during that trip.)

So Scandalous

I guess sleep is not an option for me tonight. As i spent the whole day just reading the entries of a blog about dj montano and the gucci gang. My sister told me that she too spent her day reading entries there (instead of working). I also checked out chuvaness' blog as she was somehow linked to the scandal. What can i say? Kawawa ka naman if you are linked but not really part of the gang and DJ magbayad ka na ng utang mo kasi!

Anyways, so I have make up for the lost hours. Toodles!

Warehousing Solutions

My father's business friend needs warehousing solutions. He does not have to have any place where to put his products in. So what he did was he leased an abandoned building and he is currently renovating it to suit his needs. It was a very expensive solution to his warehousing service problem. The thing is with this set-up, he immediately has a lot of scenarios to think of, namely: dust and grime, mold, fungi, very erratic weather conditions that could possibly damage his products.

There is a perfect answer to his problem. The answer simply is gdfulfillment.com. It is way cheaper too than leasing a building and having it renovated. Plus there will be no more external forces that could ruin your products. Everything is contained and controlled. They have all warehousing service you can think of. And if ever you need a distributor for your products. Well gdf fullfillment is the answer to your problem too. Check out their site for the full service that they offer.

Doling Out Gifts

I seem to be in the mood for giving things out now. My hubby, cheska, my sister, my mom, my hubby's niece and nephew and myself have already benefited from my shopping sprees. I am planning to give everybody gifts but I just need a little more time. I have already promised my sister who is living abroad who will be coming back this march a little something too. It will be an advance birthday gift for her. Her birthday will be on May.

I, however, am at a loss on what to give my dad. I want to give him something he does not have right now. He loves shoes but he already has about a dozen or so pairs of shoes. Clothes? He already has more than what he can even remember. There is actually this thing that I would love him to have, a patek philippe watch. I do not really know if he already has this. I have to check with my mom. And knowing my mom, she would love to have one of those patek philippe watches too. If you plan to give something to my dad, you better give one too to my mom. The thing is a patek watch costs about one car so that's my dilemma. It is gonna be expensive. I think I need 2 years for that OR I need to pray harder so I can win the lottery. Lol!

The Invasion

I have just watched The Invasion via my hubby's psp slim. I love movies like that (remember will smith's movie that I watched for a number of times). While watching the movie, since I am a mom, I kept on thinking how ever will Nicole (Kidman) be able to save her son from those aliens (ung kay will smith naman kasi diba zombies pero it was just him)? And if in that same situation, I will be doing the exact same thing Nicole did just to save my daughter. If you haven't watched it yet... it's a film worth watching. Hindi masasayang ang 2 hours nyo. Lol!

A Jamaican Vacation

I have always wanted to go to Jamaica. Jamaicans seem to be happy-go-lucky people and I want to experience it for myself. Will it be music and laughter all around? Will everybody be in grid locks? I know the weather there is nice, all hot and sunny so there will be no adjustments there. To be able to go where everybody is smiling. No negative vibes is what I need right now... t-o-t-a-l vacation. No computers! No wi-fi! (Can it be for one day only? Lol!) I am sure my daughter will love it though as she loves swimming and my husband too as he is the one who loves the beach. I am not a beach lover but I am naturally curious about the culture of other people. So perfect for the three of us.

My friend told me about an all inclusive jamaica experience. They have a website called superclubs.com where they feature all inclusive resorts for that total all inclusive jamaica vacation and more.

Get Into The Blogging Business

Those who have a blog know about the money one can get from blogging. I personally get more than what I previously expected from blogging. Who would have thought that blogging could mean money in the long run? I sure did not when I started my blog at year 2005. This was like a release to me, sort of my personal diary. This blog became my best friend. And now,it is even better because I can earn money out of it. A lot of people already asked me how much I am making out of this blog. People I do not even know. That is why I keep telling all my friends, relatives and people whom I just met here to start their blog, be patient and you will eventually get your own shopping budget out of blogging. I go out and shop every weekend.

There is a site that can help you with this blogging biz, it is called Biz Blogging Basics D-I-Y Blogging Kit. It can help you increase your page ranks. It has a lot of testimonials on people who made a lot of money from blogging. Believe me when I tell you, you can support your family with just plain blogging. Although it does not grow on trees, it is a lot of hard work and it takes a lot of patience. Sometimes sleep is no longer a term you know or even want to forget.

It is all about paying it forward and I want you to make money out of blogging too.

Lifelock For You

I have said it time and time and (yes, another) time again. Yes, it seems that everything can be stolen now. Good there are such things that can prevent thieves from stealing your stuff especially your identity because they use your good name to have lots of credit line meaning lots of cash. They apply for loans, credit card and others in your name. So sometimes you only learn of this when the collection agency comes knocking at your door and you do not even have an inkling of what happened and why you have to pay a large amount the thief had gotten in your name. So to prevent this, you can go to www.lifelockpromotioncode.net for a lifelock. A lifelock prevents your identity from being stolen before it even begins. They protect your good name and all your personal information. It's a preventive measure, that's what it is.

Now lifelock currently has a promo where you can get a discount just by mentioning Life lock Promotion Code when you call 1-877-LIFELOCK. It's toll free.

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure so enroll at lifelock and get your Lifelock.com promotion code rd32 to receive an exclusive discount. It is USA's leader in identity theft protection. So be protected with the best right.

Gamol Day

There was one time when we went to megamall. We were supposed to go to Serendra but it rained so we proceeded to gamol instead. It' s so nice to go to megamall in the late afternoon (on a saturday) as there are available parking and probably not as many people.

Cheska begged us into riding the carousel. There was a second when romel and myself felt sorry for cheska for being an only child. She does not have a sister or brother to play with. Anyways, the moment passed us by when cheska begged (actually DEMANDED) for another ride.

Non-Stop Live Cricket on WatchIndia.TV

Don't you ever get curious about other people's lives? I sure do. How about the culture of other people? Maybe that's the reason why I took up psychology because I am naturally curious about the rest of the human race. Anyways, just recently my brother participated in one of the exchange programs of his school. A Korean student lived in my father's house for just one week. I have noticed that at night he would watch the korean channels. He must have been missing his parents a lot and that was his only link back to his home. What if we did not have cable? It would have added to his homesickness.

For Indians, who are not at their homeland, there is a site to ease their homesickness too. It's called watchindia.tv. And from there they can watch non-stop live cricket on watchindia.tv. It's non-stop. It's Indian. It's for Indians and cricket lovers out there.

Vegas Online Casino

Well, as you would have it a friend of mine tried out an online casino called 32vegas.com. It has lots of casino games in store for you and me. My friend told me that she had lots of fun as she felt like she was in a vegas casino and she swears she did not feel any difference with regards to playing online and playing at a real vegas casino. She attests that 32vegas.com has the highest online bonus in the industry.

I checked out the site and right now there is a jackpot for about $3.8 million and is still running. If that would not catch your attention I do not know what will. The site is very friendly and if you encounter any problems they have online customer service support 24/7, so no worries. It's all about being stress free and happy.

Nanay Mila's Birthday

It was mother-in-law's birthday last month, February 20 (Wednesday), but she celebrated it on a Sunday which is all good because everybody was there. And even if they were having a bit of crisis, you can still feel the love that they have for each other.

Happy Birthday Nay! Hang in there.

I am still glad I became part of their family whatever happens and whenever I have a crisis of my own, I tell myself that this too shall pass (from the book falling leaves).

Driving Lessons

I'm going to start my driving lessons tomorrow! Wahoooey! So I chose the earliest time possible so it won't interfere with my online work. It's 2 hours per day for 1 week and it's up to the instructor if i need to extend.

Wala lang. Yun lang. I am really looking forward to this coming school year when cheska goes off to school as I will be the one who will be her driver as well as her yaya which is what I planned for ever since she was born. My plans are all falling into place. I am so happy. I am turning into my mom. My idol! My mom is a stay-at home mom. She used to be the one who drove us to and from school when we were little. Although ka-alternate nya daddy and sometimes the driver pero mostly talaga it was my mom. Naging dad ko nalang palagi when my mom got sick dahil sa kakadrive.. something with her spine. Pero no worries kasi she got better naman with prayers. Yun lang nawala na ko sa topic... confirmed... the driving school called and I have to be there by 6:30 AM!!!!

Kaya ko to! Kaya ko gumising ng maaga! LOL!

My Big Love

I was able to watch My Big Love with Mavic, Miki and Cheska last Friday at Robinsons Galleria. :))

What can i say kung hindi ang gwapo ni sam milby! Hahaha! Even my daughter clapped her hands when the fat Sam transformed into the hunky Sam and I would not deny that I clapped my hands too several times during the film.

Blogspot Error
