For the babies…


2008

Toddler Bedding is one of the holiday gifts I am thinking to give out to those toddlers in my list. I always want to be prepared. This is one of my quirks. That’s why I have several gifts ready to take with me should I be invited and I forgot to buy one. Most are general items but I have some for little kids just in case I get invited to birthday parties. I also have toys wrapped already with a sticky note outside to remind me what’s inside.

And because of this quirky attitude of mine, I buy holiday gifts as early as April each year. Since I found Net Kids Wear, it gave me a great idea of buying beddings and other items they have on stock that are on sale. One of the beddings that caught my eye is The Little Mermaid Toddler Bedding 4 Piece Set which sells at $29.48 from the original price of $70. A big discount, huh? And a nice one. Just look at the photo in this post. Nice, isn’t it?

So I will be buying a few of this bedding set as well as other sets that I found for boys like the Scooby Doo set. For other bedding sets on sale, just go to NetKidsWear.com now.

House music


2008

Who does not love house music? If you are a party goer, chances are you are well-acquainted with this type of music. I love hearing this kind of music because it evokes energy and positive vibes. It also wakes you up when you are feeling sleepy and sluggish. I also love the fact that this type of music makes you feel like dancing.

I have a friend who loves to go to bars and have some drinks with friends. I went out with her a couple of times with our other friends and to tell you the truth, I could not keep up with her. She is full of energy and the life of the party. She is very friendly, she knows a lot of people. I was amazed at how she knew even the bartenders and the bouncers of the bar. She knows practically everyone there. And the music, she knows all of it by heart! You know what I found the next day the first time I went out with her to that bar she frequents, she gets her ‘high’ on that place. By high I mean the house music being played in that bar energizes her like no other. It makes her feel alive and ready to take on the world.

That’s why when I told her about HouseMusicTV.com where she can download free DJ music videos, she was thrilled! Now she can download her type of music.

Going abroad


2008
05.18

My aunt married an adventurous man. The man loves to go on vacations and would even suggest places that is not usually on tourist destinations. When my aunt visited us, she told us the places they have been to as well as all the activities they participated in. Very adventurous indeed. I am a fit person and I love doing outdoor activities from time to time. But the activities they have done… now, those things I will not try even if they pay me a lot of money. Too dangerous for me. Imagine scuba diving in the middle of the ocean, with a big risk of running into a great white shark… not for me.

Unfortunately for my aunt and her husband, they cannot go anywhere yet until her husband secures a new passport. They lost his at the airport car at their last adventure.

All I could think of when my aunt was talking about their trips was, thank goodness they don’t have a child. Otherwise, they are taking big risks, and the child might lose his/her parents sooner than expected.

Fitness competition

Guy is looking for the best bodybuilding supplements that he can take. He recently joined this body building competition and he is determined to win the grand prize. Grand prize includes three hundred grand as well as a one year membership to the best fitness center here in the country. He is determined to win because the cash prize will be used to pay off a loan he got to finance the construction of a new bedroom for his new baby.

When you see Guy, you’ll see a very buff body. But he wants more to be able to win. And I really hope he does win. He deserves it.

Hanging out


2008

I love hanging out with my cousins and friends at home. It is more convenient since we live near each other plus it is lest costly because we can ask the house help to prepare something for us instead of spending too much on fast food. We can just hang out, listen to music, play games, or just talk about anything under the sun. This might sound boring for some people but it is a lot of fun when you are there with us, believe me.

When my parents are asking us what we want renovated this summer, I told them that everything is fine with me except that it would be best to get patio furniture so that it will be more relaxing when friends come over.

Foreclosure


2008
05.18

May’s family owns a beautiful house somewhere in the metro. Being good and kind hearted people, when her aunt asked for help regarding a huge loan, they readily agreed for her to use their house as a collateral to a bigger loan that she got to be able to pay the first loan and finance a business she thought of putting up. Little did they know that their decision to be merciful and helpful will turn out to be a huge mistake that will cost them their house. After a year of religiously paying the monthly amortizations, May’s aunt started defaulting on payments. Checks bounced and before they know it, they were sent a letter to tell them that in a week’s time, their house will be foreclosed in favor of the bank. Now they are seeking foreclosure help so that they can salvage the house that her parents worked so hard to build.

Good kid turned dependent


2008

My brother told me about his friend’s brother who was sent to a drug rehab facility because their parents found out about his drug addiction. He met friends who became a bad influence to him. He got hooked on weeds and then to ecstasy. It was bad, according to my brother because his friend’s brother became quite violent when he realized he was being sent to a drug rehab. But I know it will be good for him. I know the family. The parents are really good people and I know they did their best to make sure their sons stay on the right path. But you know, parents can only do so much. Most of the time, the decision is with the person ultimately.

I do hope everything will turn out right with the boy. He is a good kid and he deserves a new chapter in life.

Diet and supplements


2008
05.18

There are a lot of people these days who are doing their best to stay slim and live a healthy life. It is hard. I speak from experience. I am a little on the heavy side and it is hard for me to stay fit. I went to the gym and tried exercising regularly. But a couple of occasions and events and binge eating… well, let’s just say that it looked as if I did no spend too much for gym membership. Now, I am dieting on a slow pace, making sure that the weight I lose will stay. I am looking for alternative ways to lose weight as well, including diet supplements. I have read some really good lipovox reviews and I am thinking of trying it out. I might. I don’t see anything wrong as long as my doctor approves.

How about you, what would you recommend as a diet supplement?

A day for my mom


2008
05.06

I know that most people out there will be celebrating Mother’s Day. But do you know that a friend of mine and her mom celebrates Mother’s Day every week? Yes, they do. You see, my friend’s mom almost died over a decade ago. It was a common disease in women that struck my friend’s mom. Kidney ailment, actually. But my friend donated her kidney and a transplant was done. Theirs was one of the successful transplants done locally. It was a miracle for me. I was there after the operation along with other close friends and family members. I forgot to say that my friend is also my cousin and her mom is my aunt.

So after that operation, it was like a new life for the both of them. Whereas before they quarrel like other mothers and daughters out there, now they seem to have realized their love for each other. My friend-cousin has learned to appreciate her mom more. And a year after the operation, they started celebrating mother’s day every week.

For this coming mother’s day, I thought of giving my aunt a Time for Tea mothers day basket from 1800-Flowers.com, the leading source for flowers, gifts and gift baskets for mother’s day. Mother and daughter love tea and scones so I thought of giving this to my aunt.

Like it for your mom? Then go to 1800-Flowers.com now!

Not good enough


2008
05.04

My current desktop is acting up from time to time. When I asked my cousin to check it, he said that I need to upgrade my computer memory already. Apparently, I’ve been using up almost 97% of my computer’s memory already because of the various programs I have installed in it. Well, I am mostly using a web design program I am tinkering with and another program for the office.

So if my computer memory is not good enough, I will definitely upgrade it now. Or replace it. Whatever. Just as long as my computer will function properly after the upgrade.
