Real Housewives

Posted by Heriberto Fuentes

I really enjoy watching the “Real Housewives” shows. I think all of them women on those shows are so ridiculous. They all have more money than they know what to do with and I think I enjoy watching it so much because it is so farfetched from my own life. The women on these shows spend their days either on a yacht, shopping on Rodeo Drive, or eating at the nicest restaurants in New York, and all of this is paid for by their husbands. For whatever reason I can never remember what time the new episodes come on each week.

I have Expert Satellite so I can watch all of the episodes from each city on demand. I can keep up with the lives of all of these wealthy women never miss an episode. I would love to be able to live the lavish lives that these housewives live. However, I am far from being able to live that life. So, for now I will just have to live vicariously through these women on tv.

Depressing Months

For many people, winter months are depressing months for them or for me. Everyday it's gonna be so gloomy and cold. We couldn't go out for a walk! There is nothing else you can think of doing instead eat a lot and sleep all day long. Nah, that is not helping in losing this unwanted flab in my belly. I am thinking of buying yoga mats and just do yoga at home by myself following youtube videos to lessen the depression and boredom while waiting for the day to end. Great idea, isn't it?

Please Have A Heart!

I am devastated of what happened to CDO and Iligan City. Of all places in the world,why this had to happen in these two cities where they were badly hit by typhoon Sendong. The pictures and videos shared on Facebook is so heartbreaking! I can't help but felt pity to those who died and lost their loved ones. It's just too painful to see.

Christmas is just around the corner, isn't the real meaning of Christmas is giving and sharing? It's the perfect time to show our compassion to fellow Filipinos! Please donate any amount you have, please do so , any amount can help a lot of families. I did my part, donated to two separate groups that collect money through paypal. Now it's your turn. Please send any amount to this paypal address: marquee_29@yahoo.com.

LET US PRAY TOGETHER:

Dear God, bless all people everywhere specially our brothers and sisters who have been affected by typhoon Sendong. Please touch the heart of people who haves to share, that they may feed the hungry and clothe them. Let the homeless find places to live and attain inner peace. May we all live as One and be united in you God. As the Magi travel far just to reach their gifts to you, may we take extra mile just to extend our help to those in need, for this is what was “Christmas” is all about and meant to be, a season of giving, sharing and Love! Dear Lord, also continue to help me, my family and friends in our difficulties. May this Christmas Bring lots of Love and Peace to all of us. Amen!

Santa Is Coming To Town

There are only two more toys that I am waiting to arrive in the mail before I can call it done. These are just some of the presents I've done wrapping myself and hidden in my husbands closet just so Jadyn can't see them and insist in opening them.

I always tell her that she should always be good so Santa will give her lots of presents. Time after time she'd ask me if Santa is here yet and I will reply to her that he is still far far away busy giving gifts to other children and that she should wait until Christmas day. Poor girl, she really believes that Santa is real...oh well, why can't he be real if he is giving presents to our kids, my husband, their dada that is! Lol!

PA Electricity

I just heard from my brother that my mother and oldest brother were fighting over the high bill for electricity. Watching a movie at home uses only very small power yet my mother nagging about paying high cost electricity. Well, she is always like that, mouth that just won't shut and nags at almost everything. I am glad I am out of that house anymore.

Anyhow, I am talking about electricity here in relation with cold weather setting in. For sure monthly payments for electricity will rise up due to heater and other appliances that use electricity will be turned on all the time. In Pennsylvania, electric deregulation allows allows smart consumers to choose their electric supplier and lower their monthly electric bill. They can save up to 10% and more in PA with the company's low pa electricity rates. Lucky are the people but hey even if you convince me to live in that state, I will never do that it's just too cold for me and lots of snow which can be troublesome sometimes.

Pink Gift Idea

Are you having trouble on what to give to someone who is obsess of pink? Think no more, buy this wonderfully designed Hello Kitty microwave oven available at Target. I have seen this personally in the store yesterday and I loved it the first time I laid my eyes on this thing. If I was pregnant and didn't buy the pink microwave hello kitty myself then I could have a miscarriage by now lol. It's just it was unbelievably cute!!

When you give this to someone this Christmas season a gift, you will definitely make someone else's day brighter!

Business Loans With Bad Credit

I hate to know that there are people out there struggling so much due to economic crisis. Some are badly affected that they have to file for bankruptcy. Small businesses were affected the most. With this said, are you one of those desperately seeking for help in order to save your business? Try applying for loans that accept business loans with bad credit and see what they can do to help you. The company called American Stimulus Funding is there providing an alternative to business loans at a time when banks are reluctant to offer funding to small and medium-sized businesses.

Bundle Up With Fleece Jacket

I love the idea that it is getting colder everyday. I don't spend much time outside so it is alright with me and my kids to be cold for we don't have business outside and spend most of our day inside. During the weekend when we usually do our shopping and other errands, we have no choice but go out and get them over with. With that said, before bringing the kids out, I make sure they are bundled up with cozy and comfortable fleece jackets so they won't shiver as we go through the day. I love the feel of the fleece material on my skin, so soft and just comfortable. I would love to have one or any of the northface fleece wear I have seen on the internet yesterday. They are kind of expensive but most of their women fleece jackets are on sale plus free shipping on orders over $35 so that makes it a kind of a deal.

First Coach Handbag And Swingpack

Weew what a fine day for me for Coach factory has floods of markdowns plus additional 30% off to already discounted items. Being a member of such store helps for we are given an "exclusive member only mail" that allows us to shop for their handbags and other stuff.

The items below are soon to be mine once they arrive in the mail. I am excited and so anxious to use my first Coach handbag ever! I've been wanting to buy one of this brand but I just couldn't afford to spend my money on to something that is so expensive and is not so important but this morning I couldn't let the opportunity slip away.

Coach don't usually offer markdowns in their stuff unless of course you will go to their outlet store elsewhere... I am glad I bought mine early this morning for items are going away fast.  I only paid $185.56  including tax and shipping of course for these two items below. See the original prices and you'll see how much I saved for taking advantage of the sale!

Medical Carts

Thanks to medical carts for they make the job done and easy. They are commonly used in hospitals, hospice or nursing home, doctor's offices orclinics and other medical facilities. I have seen a few at the nursing home where my father -in-law used to live. Nurses and caregivers there used medical carts to deliver medicines and food to their bedridden residents.

Appliances Upgrade

As you may all know, we just had our kitchen remodeled. A beautiful kitchen we have that makes me want to sleep there. I even make a joke to my husband if I can bring my pillow and sheets in the kitchen so I can sleep there, funny! With that being said, we have to upgrade our kitchen appliances as well to match with the new cabinets and countertops. We upgrade from white color appliances to stainless steel. One of the appliances the hardest to let go is our Bosch stove top which is white in color. These bosch appliances are known for their quality workmanship. In fact, the people who installed the stove for us a couple of months ago admired what we got is a great appliance.

Puppy Problems

Authored by Raymond Whitney

We got http://www.wildbluedeals.com/satellite-internet/indiana/ not too long ago. It really came in handy the other day when I needed to get in touch with our vet and couldn’t. Our dog , a three year old beagle, started to loose a lot of hair over the weekend. It really startled me because he has never been sick or lost any hair in patches like that ever. I used satellite internet and searched all of the vet websites. I came across a website that had a vet available twenty four hours a day. I was able to chat with the vet and also e-mail her pictures of my dog. She said that it was probably an allergy and asked if some mimosa bushes were blooming in our yard at the time. We recently moved and have mimosa bushes and they were actually blooming! Surprisingly, our little dog was allergic to the bushes. He must have eaten some of the blooms and his hair started to fall out. The vet suggested what we should put on our pup and also how to keep him away from the plant. I was so glad we had the internet!

Twice The Price

I grew up liking things and envied foods I didn't get to eat because we were poor, my parents couldn't afford to buy nutritious foods for their kids and most of all there were 9 of us in one household and a single earner family.

So you can only imagine a life that is deprived of all things. Now that I have money or a husband that can very well afford things that I like, I make it sure I get everything I need and buy foods I want to eat like this purple yam ice cream here imported from the Philippines. 

American ice cream that is branded cost only $5 but this one right here is twice the price. I don't care if I let my husband pay so much on this one as long as I can satisfy my cravings for Philippine ice cream. 

Steel Drum

What could be a better way of storing stuff securely and safely rather than a use of a steel drum, barrels, pails and buckets? Products such as these are manufactured by Mutual Stamping & Manufacturing Co., they have been the leader in the stainless steel container industry since 1978. All of their stainless steel products are made from material that is either organic or recyclable which means it is more of a green choice or eco-friendly. Stainless steel is a green choice because of not only its durability and non toxic characteristics but it also can be cleaned and reused for an infinite number of times.

Bunk Bed Envy

Guest post by Rob Lobitz

When I was a little kid -- and maybe even now, sometimes -- I always sort of envied the other kids who had to sleep in the top bunk of a bunk bed. There was just something kind of exciting about the idea of being able to look out over the world while you relaxed and began your little nightly journey to the land of dreams. It is especially funny as I am now usually a scaredy cat who is terrified of heights and hates even going up a ladder, but the kiddie-me was what people here call a tom boy who loved climbing trees and anything else that went up high. My poor mom and dad were constantly terrified! I wasn't an easy child to raise.

Still, the whole bunk bed thing can get a bit interesting as you get older. I had one friend who stayed at home until she was in her thirties. She was a successful lawyer but she was still sleeping in the top bunk of her bed until her (first) marriage!

Anyhow, I've been thinking more about bunk beds, and twin over full bunk beds -- they're the ones that are bigger on the bottom -- because some of my cousins' families seem to be growing like crazy with kids popping out everywhere and making a big mess. They've been complaining about space a lot, and I that's what these kind of beds are good for. Some of the ones I've seen on line look especially nice and like either boys or girls would really like them. I guess the difference would be whether the blankets would have R2D2 or Bella and Edward on them!

New Kitchen Soon

At long last, after 17 months of waiting that much needed check has arrived. It could help us big time. We got too many major home improvement plans pending for months because of the delay and now we can make all these plans happen. I was away from home for two weeks. Before I could come back, my husband had our backyard fence fixed. Next group of people coming in our house are the ones that will do our kitchen.

Yeppeeyyy new kitchen is what we are going to have. The job won't start until Monday. I so look forward to it. It is going to be a full week of torture without kitchen but in the end, the prize is worth it. New kitchen means new kitchen appliances and new dining table maybe? I love the idea of buying new dining chairs with casters or dining chairs casters to match with our newly remodeled kitchen. That is very cool to match with our corelle soup bowls and dishes. What more could I ask for? My dream of having a decent and new kitchen will soon come true. I'm lucky!

At A Cafe

I am not used to using computers in an internet cafe anymore but it is better than not having an internet service at all. I got tons of online tasks waiting on me but I guess I am just gonna do all of them when I'm home in Texas because honestly I don't feel safe opening my accounts in public computers.  Aside from that, I feel so naked and always feeling like there are eyes watching me. The prize of not having an internet service at home.

Duhhh blahhhh I only got 2 more days left then I'll be back home in Texas. I missed my little Pearl and husband already. I am anxious to go back home and at the same time feeling sad for when I'm in Texas I'll be staying home most of the time again. Surely I'll be missing my days in the Philippines where I can just  freely go wherever I want and not needing anyone else to take me to where I wanna go.

Take Shelter From The Storm

Two of my favorite seasons are Spring and Fall because temperatures during these seasons are so cool, very comfortable and most of all the surroundings are green in Spring and colorful in Fall. But it is during these seasons hurricane and tornadoes are likely to occur. Texas have survived several numbers of tornadoes last Spring. Once it hits in areas, rest assured the damage will be devastating and number of casualties and deaths are high.

With that said, it is just right to take underground shelters. Houses in Texas don't have basements, so when calamities like Tornadoes and hurricanes, people should find a place in their own homes where they feel comfortable.

Pool Supplies

Everything you need in a pool can be bought or will be found at www.poolsupplyunlimited.com. Good enough I found this site today because our family friend has a pool and they are looking for that specific item for their pool, a pool heat pump. I was wondering, why is that? Isn't summer over now and temperature has cooled down? Duh that is the reason why they need a pool heat pump in order to still enjoy the pool even if it is Fall already. Obviously, from the name alone HEAT PUMP is to heat pools. Heat pumps are a very efficient method of heating pools

Strollers for Two

The weather is getting nicer where we are. The nicer it gets, the more I am encouraged to start walking again. Lately I have only been doing short walks going back and forth from one block every other day. I couldn't walk farther because I have to babies to watch and look after while being outside. Yes, we do have a stroller intended for jogging or walking but it is a single stroller. I don't want my three-year old to be walking along the streets with no sidewalk because she might get hit with a car. The only thing that hinders me from doing a serious walking exercise is that we don't have a stroller that carries two kids.

While browsing on the internet trying to find that very stroller I need, I found this bumbleride indie twin strollers to be the exact stroller or jogger I would need in order to enjoy walking again. I will try to save up some money and see if I can come up with the amount that this jogger cost. I would be happy to have it and bring smiles to my little ones' faces.

Performance Fleece For Less

I am glad I did my online shopping last weekend to avail Old Navy's Rocktoberfest Sale for performance fleece hooded one-pieces for baby for my Megan, jacket for Jadyn, cable knit tights for both of my girls and a fleece jacket for myself all for less! If I have waited for the sale to be over, I sure would not be willing to pay over $50 dollars for all five items that I bought. Aside from a few dollars savings on these outfits, I also got a free shipping for m order was qualified for their free shipping promo. Sweet, isn't it?

I am gearing up for Winter. The little one needs Winter outfit especially because the outgrown clothes by her sister wouldn't fit in her. They are Winter and Summer difference. What Jadyn wore before for winter wouldn't fit for my little one today it is either too small for her and others are too big so I need to buy her new clothing.

.......and photo above for my little Megan, double fleece one piece suit for $20 original price was 24.90.. still a bit expensive but I trust Old Navy's clothing quality to be good so I went ahead and bought it. It got several good reviews from previous customers, this suit is perfect for cold winter days to keep my baby girl cozy and comfortable.

...... stripe performance fleece jacket for Jadyn before 16.94 ...bought it for only 7.50 dollars...

....women's performance fleece logo tops originally priced 19.94 bucks and bought it for only 8 bucks...

...2 of these cable knit tights for 15 dollars originally $9.94 each...

Mens Gift Ideas

I love shopping for myself and for my baby girls. However, I find it so difficult shopping for my husband. It is because I don't want to buy him things that he might not like that is why it is awkward for me to shop for him. However, there are websites out there that offer Mens Gift Ideas in every occasion. And since our 7th year wedding anniversary will be this Sunday, might as well look for something that I can give to him. Thanks to www.mensgiftideas.com for it helps me give an idea on what to buy for the love of my life.

Ipod Charger

I guess only very few people left in America not having an iPod or iPhone, one of them is me. But I guess I will be having an iPod soon for I already asked my husband I want one for our anniversary. I hope when he buys one, he would also include an ipod charger so he only pays the shipping fee once in order to save a few bucks. He said why I choose an iPod over an iPhone and I told him what for? I don't need a grand cellphone I just want something to store my music and that's it. Since I blog a lot, I would rather choose to have a new computer over an iPhone because I don't think I would be satisfied doing my thing in an iPhone.

I Just Saved $5 On Infant Formula

Weew what a deal. I just saved $5 on infant formula for buying two cans of Enfamil online at Babies "R" Us. They are having a promotion on selected items when you buy two, you'll save 5 dollars. I took advantage of it because I rarely see this kind of promotion in stores. And take note, it is available online only plus the fact that you cannot avail the deal if you go to the website directly, you have to have that promotion mail they sent you in your personal inbox.

Promotions like these is hard to let it go away. Baby girl is using Enfamil and luckily it is one of those that are included in the promo. A can of milk will last only for a week if I feed her formula straight and not giving her some of the breast milk.

Water Softeners

What do you need to know about water softeners, please click on the link. But here is a short information on what it is all about lifted from the website itself.

A water softener is the solution to the scale, staining, appliance damage, and dry skin caused by hard water. Hard water is much more than a nuisance. Scale accumulating on hot water heaters drastically reduces their ability to heat the water resulting in higher energy costs. The lifespan of water using appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers is reduced also.

You will get more information on the website or the link above and what you can do to help yourself from drying or your appliances from damaging.

Another Disappointment From courtney walshak

It was during this day last week when courtney walshak emailed my husband about a check being mailed before the end of the week. Nothing came in the mail until now. I wish she did not say that nor make us believe that it will be here soon so we don't hope for it nor we feel excited about it. It is another disappointment from the whole Kinney law firm as I say.

Many times they made us a fool for believing that the boob client of theirs will somehow issue that long-awaited check. Apparently, she and us were fooled by "him" who doesn't care whether he hurt his brother or not. I don't know when this ordeal is going to end, all I know is that we are getting tired of dealing such a heartless person in this world. He just kept delaying us, hanging us in the dark and most of all PISSES US OFF especially my husband!

Blender Parts

I do believe my hands are cursed. Whenever I touch something fragile, you can expect I will break it. Somehow things that will come in contact with my hands they get broken or damaged. I am embarrassed with it to be honest because it only shows me and my husband how clumsy I am when it comes to handling our things. Many times I broke his kitchen stuff that he had forever.

I still remember how I pissed him off when I broke his blender. I stuffed the blender with all the ice cubes, fruits and other ingredients to make me a shake not leaving any space or allowance for the blades to turn. The result was I damaged the blade, smoke came out from the base of his blender and since then it was no longer usable. I wished I knew where to look for kitchenaid blender parts back then, we could have bought the parts and replaced them ourselves instead of buying another one. It would have been cheaper I think or may be not? Sometimes it is practical to just go ahead buy a new one instead of having things repaired because the cost of the labor is more than the unit itself.

Picky Eater

My three-year old girl tends to be so picky at times that I don't know what to give to her. Other times she makes it easy for me by eating or liking what I am giving her. When she does that I am happy but when times like she ask for something to eat which we don't have in the refrigerator makes me mad. Kids are kids. Although I understand them for behaving the way they do but I don't always have my mood to deal with being selective when it comes to food. Unless I starve her, the next meal will be great for she would just eat everything I put in her plate.

Picky eater as she is something I dealt with for two years. When she started eating solid foods until age 1 year and a half, she was the kind of baby that loves everything you serve for her but her appetite changed when she got older until now.

I have read articles on yahoo or other internet sources how to deal or what to give to picky eater kids but none of them work. These recipes for kids I just found would probably work on her. I shall see. I would try my best in finding that best simple and easy recipe to fix for my big girl. She is getting skinny and that worries me. Her dad says, SHE IS FINE and that I should worry if she was getting fat, haha funny but true.

Money Sent

I just made two calls to my family in the Philippines. One last night to my father lasted for one hour and one this morning to my mother. It would have been cheaper if I was able to talk both of them last night but my mother wasn't home when I called so had to make another call when I woke up.

I called them to let them know I just sent them some money for the whole month of October. I was not gonna do it because I spent a freaking $420 to the USCIS for my sister's immigration application and I already told my mother, I am not sending them money for two months. I have to save some more for the upcoming immigration bills, you know?

But I sent anyway and they are happy especially my mother for she now has money to use to pay the bills and other stuff. If it wasn't because of my sister rushing me to give her budget to buy herself a girl scout uniform, I would have not done that. Anyway, I feel good after hearing they are doing okay and helping them in a way I can.

Skilled People

Skilled people often get the most jobs than those that have limited knowledge on specific jobs. If you are one of those looking for Medical & Clinical Laboratory Technician Jobs, you know where to go now, right? Just click on the link and choose the specific state or place you are at right now and search for available jobs in your area. Lucky are those who have experience or medically inclined people because for me they don't find it hard looking for a job within their capability.

Been In The Freezer For Too Long!

I've had this danggit fish in our freezer for two months. I didn't know I had them until yesterday. I thought they were a different kind but when I cooked them this morning, I found out they were actually danggit. Not bad, because I love danggit very much. What disappoints me is that knowing that they've been in our freezer for too long they are no longer good to eat.

When it was cooking the smell of the fish was just awful (good thing it was beautiful outside, cooler temperature so I got to open windows and front door) to let the smell out. No matter how much spices and garlic I put in the fish still the smell was there and ewwww we ate it anyway. I still got some more in the pot left for me to eat in the next meals. No choice but to finish them, I hate throwing away foods that's why.

Pure White Palladium Rings

I have seen a lot of people recently with palladium wedding bands. I really like that they are pure. In fact they are almost 100 percent but 95 percent pure. I had a white gold ring that I wore for a number of years. It has really faded from white to a not so attractive yellow color. I am so tempted to go out and replace the white gold ring with a palladium ring. It would look much better in my opinion.

One thing I really like about them is they aren't as soft as silver. Silver looks real good but the metal of it just bends too easily for my liking. My dad hit his silver ring on something hard and it has never been the same. It hasn't been a complete circle since. Ever since these wedding bands palladium have come out I have wanted one. Especially after I did some research on palladium it feels like it would be right for me.

Loves Science Fiction

My husband and I get along very well although we are two completely different individuals. He is 17 years my senior, he's an American and I'm a Filipina yet our marriage is doing great which is awesome. We also have different interests. He loves science fiction, I love the reality. He loves reading science fiction books and I don't for I prefer reading stories based in real happenings. Yes, that's how different we are!

Rambutan Fruit

I was very surprised when I saw this rambutan fruit at the Asian market where we usually buy my stuff like fish, squid etc. It is my first time to see such a fruit like that being sold here in America. Of course I couldn't pass by it. I've been wanting to taste this fruit again for so long, I did buy a package of it that cost us $4.99. Yes, that is kind of too much but what can I do? I just want to eat this fruit.

Rambutan is grown in Southern part of the Philippines. There are many rambutan trees at my grandmother's farm in Davao that every time we go visit there when we were kids, we could eat as much as we wanted to eat until we get sick in the stomach. Rambutan, I should say was one of my favorite fruits and one of the many things I look forward of eating when my father would bring us to his hometown.

Slim

How cute and slim are these Ordinateurs de bureau desktops I saw online today. So convenient to move it anywhere in the house or when moving. It doesn't take much space on the desk as well. Good timing we have planned of buying our first born a fast and new computer and then I found these slim french desktop computers. Jadyn has got small desk in her bedroom so as much as possible, we would get her something that is almost miniature in size.

owen t. kinney, YOU SUCK!

For 14 months and 3 days we are waiting for some miracle to happen about something that could literally help our family financially. Patience tested and we felt like we can no longer hold it. owen kinney who handles the Will seem so incompetent and slow. He call himself an experienced "lawyer" yet he couldn't be clear as to when this going to end. Sometime in August he made us believe that the check is going to be issued anytime soon yet another days and weeks have gone by and nothing happened.

There would always be an excuse leading to another ridiculous excuses every time we ask how the will is progressing. We are getting tired of this old man, honestly. He seems like he doesn't care at all, oh well we are not his clients so why should he care anyway? His excuse is that the Trustee is out of town and that we should wait for his return... of course there is nothing we can do about it so we'll wait and let two weeks pass by without hearing anything from owen or his assistant courtney. If we wouldn't ask how's it going they wouldn't return to us or give us an update or anything. Sucks! We are like waiting forever hanging in the dark. Couple times he did it to us... days turned into weeks and weeks into months.

Wake up owen! If there is somebody out there who needs a lawyer that does family estate and will management I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND owen kinney based in Austin, Texas for I don't want them to go through what we're experiencing right now. HE SIMPLY SUCKS BIG TIME!

My Idol Equestrian

When I was growing up I have always admired someone who looked pretty and a very good actress in the Philippines. Her name is Mikee Cojuanco. She often appeared on television almost everyday as she was popular back then. Whenever she's on t.v I felt excited and just glad seeing her smiling face with cute little dimple in her cheek. There was even a show that featured her riding a horse in a competition with her equestrian apparel on, at that moment I knew she was an equestrian which most people didn't know. Mikee was one of the most admired actresses because of how good actress she was and she was really a nice person.

Waking Up To The Smell Of Coffee

One morning I woke up to the aromatic smell of coffee being brewed in our very own kitchen. I knew exactly who did it, my husband. He is the coffee drinker of this house. And no matter how I like to taste the coffee I just couldn't do it. I know what will happen to me if I force myself to drink or take a few sips of it, I would stay up all night for two nights. Yes, it is like a drug that is so strong that keeps my senses awake for two freaking nights. I would say coffee is not just for me. Another thing why I can't drink coffee is that it's bitterness, I just don't like its taste unless of course I put plenty of sugar in it which can be bad for me. So better not do anything stupid than have myself suffer if I get myself tempted to drink coffee.

Since the husband loves drinking coffee every morning, I would love to buy him Lavazza Coffee Beans so he can try to differentiate it than what he usually buys at the store. Lavazza is a company that only selects the best coffee beans the world has to offer. Roasting to perfection which is lighter than the flavor most people accustom to from Starbucks that allows for more of flavor of the bean and less of the bitterness to shine through.

Why I Love Wearing Dress

I bought this purple multi dress online at Macy's during their Labor Day Sale last weekend for $11.69 (now back up to 17.99 still on sale price orig was $36. ). I don't regret I bought it for it fits perfectly on me although the length is a little too long for me. I like the feel of material in my skin, so light and comfortable.

The reason why I love wearing dress is that when you put it on, you only have to do it once, aside from that you only wear one piece of clothing in your body which makes it so convenient and fast that you can quickly get out of the closet instead of choosing over jeans or pants plus you'll have to look for a top that would match in your pants that you're going to wear, time consuming and I hate that. Another reason is that, wearing a dress makes you look feminine!

...... first photo is of the model in the website wearing exactly the same dress I wear below at the car fest yesterday.

Strange Looking Logitech Mouse

Thanks to my husband for buying me a new mouse. It is a computer accessory that I cannot live without. It's my third mouse since I started using laptop, two of the previous mice were cordless once and are both broken. For some reason mice won't last long in my hands. The third one has a cord to make sure my baby girl won't drop it and break it eventually. While Logitech is a great brand, I appreciate him for getting me one but... it is a strange looking trackball mouse that is hard to operate. I have used a trackball mouse from the past alright but it was the thumb that will move the ball that made it easier and comfortable to use...

And this one I have I have to use my pointer or tall finger in order to move the cursor and what makes it more strange is that the third button which is the scroll button is attached to the right click button. It will take a while before I get used to using this one for sure!

......truly it is a weird looking mouse that I can compare to that a face of a cockroach or a bug nyaaaahahaha...

Kohls Coupons

Kohls is one of the stores where parents mostly shop for their kids' school stuff because of their cheaper price and some deals. For I know, some parents aren't done shopping for their kids yet so if they can use or look for online Kohls coupons, that will be great in order to save more money by using coupons. Couponing helps a lot especially if you are buying back to school things for 2 or more kids. If you are a mother out there and you are in need of coupons, just head directly to www.dropdowndeals.com and look for Kohls coupons.

Who knew?

Thanks to Darwin Barton

Who would have thought a few years ago that I was going to be knee deep in boxes? Everyone in my life knew how much I loved my house and living in Chicago so the last thing anyone thought is that I would be moving but when this new job offer came along I just had to take it, even if it did mean leaving behind everything I’d loved before. I’m really starting to get used to it here and I actually kind of like being out of the city although there are some things I do miss. My new place has satellite star internet and a big bay window and it’s even got a view of the lake so I guess all in all it wasn’t a bad trade off for that cramped one bedroom I used to live in. I’m starting to feel at home although there will always be a special place in my heart for the Windy City and I go back to visit as often as I possibly can!

Bracelets That I Made

I didn't know making bracelets out of beads can be fun. Although I didn't have enough string to finish my project, I found it to be so fun. The finished products were given to my friends' daughters, to my big girl and some I saved for my box for my little sister in the Philippines.

I hope she likes her bracelets for they are made with love from me. They are so easy to make yet when you buy them in the mall or in any other stores, it would cost at least 5-10 dollars each. If you really want to save some money, you can just buy the beads at a hobby or craft store and make some according to your style.

Rubber Hose

There are things that my husband would tell me and I don't understand it. There are some things as well that I can easily understand. If I don't get it, I would try to seek for explanation just like the stuff he has in his garage. So many manly stuff that I don't even know the know. I remember one time, there was this thing in particular he was talking about that he is going to buy but I didn't know exactly what that was. I kept asking him what is it and when he showed me on the internet, I found out that what he needs is the same exact Delafield Corporation rubber hose I am looking at right now. Silly me. I'm just a woman who knows nothing about man stuff...

If you are low in cash now, you know where to go right? Get quick cash by applying at www.checkcity.com.

Salt As Sugar?

Jadyn loves watermelon a lot. It has been a while since we had melons so today I gave her some. You know watermelons taste better with a bit sprinkle of salt in it. I was not gonna give her salty melon but she already saw me eating some with salt, I cannot say no to her when she said, put sugar in it. When she say sugar that means salt. I don't know why she calls salt as sugar while in fact those are two different things. Silly girl!

Mobile Casino

Mobile phones are nowadays like real entertainment centers. Besides the fact that mobile phones compete with different technical features like screen and size, they also compete in entertaining features. It will be interesting to see, what the development will look like in the future. For example, mobile casino is receiving more and more players and it is said that casino games, poker and sports betting will become even more popular on mobile casinos. The benefit of playing on a mobile casino is that one can play everywhere and any time, if one just has internet access and a right type of mobile phone. Luckily, most mobile phone models can be used on mobile casinos.

Hot Shoes

I finally found a pair or pairs of shoes I ever wanted to buy. I've searched on the internet a lot of the kind of shoes that could make me shiver but I was skeptical to buy online. When it comes to shoes, I would love to feel, touch or fit the item in my feet to make sure that I would be comfortable wearing them. I kept putting shoe shopping off because I want to be happy of my purchase. When my husband treat me for shoe shopping at DSW 2 weeks ago, I couldn't be happier for I really would love to go there and use that $20 coupon they sent us in the mail. Anyway, the husband has no idea how grateful I am for the recent shoe purchase plus the fact that we got a great deal on those made the shoes worth buying.

.... I know when I see a good pair of shoes that I really like for I get so excited and thrilled fitting them on and eventually purchase them...

Weight Loss Pills

Many are hoping to get rid of the extra pound they put on over the years, they turn to weight loss pills in the hope that they will go back to their original body weight. Well, for me... if you are not careful of what you put in your mouth, not doing any exercise or at least limit the calorie intake nothing would happen no matter how many weight loss pills you take every day. It takes a lot of effort and determination, discipline and perseverance to successfully reach your goal. I know this can be hard but you got to do what you have to do in order to succeed.

A Trip To Home Depot

We went to Home Depot last weekend to return something and also to look at sink and undermount stainless steel sinks. That was one of the trips to home improvement store that I loved because I can get to look at stuff for our home. We are in the process of having a major change in our kitchen. Right now we do shop around or look for stuff that are in great prices that suit our budget. Great price in high quality items are what we are looking for. If cannot find that very piece of undermount thingy for our sink then we might look for it online.

In Moderation

Too much of everything is bad. Same as drinking liquor or any types of alcoholic beverages. Drinking in moderation is acceptable. I, myself is keeping a distance to any types of wine or anything that contains alcohol in it. I could take a sip or two of wine but that's it. Apart from wine, there are only a few good things my stomach can take when it comes to beverages are water, juice, some soda and this very thing I have in mind that is colorful, taste so good and can be found in almost all grocery stores that I have forgot its name.

Drinking alcohol I think depends how used or exposed the person to taking or swallowing it down to their system. Some get drunk easy, others don't no matter how much alcohol volume they take. I remember watching the first episode on the very first night the Bachelors were introduced to Ashley of the Bachelorette in Ashley's season, there was this guy who happens to be a liquor distributor as his way of living, he went to the cocktail party only to get drunk and snore later on. Such a loser, he was sent home by the Bachelorette before he could meet or get to know her.

Cute Sweet Treats Earrings

I found these three pairs of sweet treats earrings to be the cutest a little girl could wear. I am definitely buying these for my little sister in the Philippines. I guess she would be delighted to see these. There is no way my Jadyn can wear earrings anytime soon for she has no ear piercings, her daddy won't allow it until she is old enough to appreciate wearing the earrings. Cute, aren't they? I believe I found this on Charlotte Russe website one time when I was browsing on their site.

Mange Treatment

What is mange? Mange is a noun and its definition is- a skin disease of mammals caused by parasitic mites that causes severe itching, hair loss, and the formation of scabs and lesions. Now I know the disease that our dogs used to have way back decades ago. We had 5 dogs but they all died of mange and we didn't know how to treat the disease. Those poor pets, never received some help they deserve. If this happens to our dog Chicha, I would definitely buy this product I just saw on the internet to cure the disease before it is too late.

Metal Punch

I didn't know that we can also have beautiful design on metal through the use of a metal punch. I really didn't think it is possible on metal. Photo below is just one of the many designs on metal stamping I found on the internet tonight. If you could just try to look at the website or clicking on the link here, you will find many interesting designs that you can choose. Any designs you could think of, they all have it there.

Mung Bean Soup With Coconut Milk

Here's what I cooked for lunch today. I have a pot full of mung bean soup with coconut milk with all the needed veggies to make it more healthy; okra, Asian spinach and horseraddish leaves. I cooked a lot of soup in one time so I can eat this good for three meals. I do it this way so I don't have to spend so much time cooking in the kitchen. You know, when you have no help around, spending time in the kitchen just so you can have something to eat is sometimes tiring.

I am eating healthy hoping that the baby could get the nutrients of the foods I am eating. I am trying to breastfeed her from time to time so she'll grow big and healthy. Take note, she is now back up to 8 pounds again, it's her birth weight (quite a big baby huh) and then just 2 days after birth she lost 11 ounces that was because breast milk didn't come in until 3 days. Poor girl.

Biothera

Have you ever heard of such a word or company called Biothera before? I haven't until just seconds ago. I did look for it on the internet and found out that is actually a biotechnology company dedicated to improving immune health. They develop a natural gluco polysaccharide that engages and directs natural innate immune system responses.

All She Can Eat

Jadyn is acting strange lately. She wouldn't eat rice unless she is starving. She is not like that before. All she can eat now is rice porridge or champorado as we call it. My husband knows I am feeding her the porridge and he insisted that there is nothing to it, that I should feed my Jadyn healthy foods. If he wants, he can feed her the right kind of foods... as for me...he cannot stop me from giving porridge to Jadyn as this is the only thing she can eat right now. I've no energy to argue with him, I just do whatever I can so Jadyn can have something in her belly. I tell you, she could go for hours not eating anything and that worries me. Giving her porridge is better than not having anything at all, right?
