I am never fascinated by motorcycles. I am even against those who ride on one. I think this is the cause of having a couple of friends and a family member being hit by reckless motorcycle drivers. But I am equally amazed by drivers who join Motorcycle Tours especially those who ride on Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I want them to join these tours rather than driving their dangerous bikes on the road. You get my point? They could ride their bikes for competition's sake and not for public transportation.
I even went on an argument with one of hubby's friend who rented an ATV and Dirt bike at EagleRider. He has this amazing dream of becoming an Eaglerider that as soon as he got his long-awaited promotion he spent them by renting not only ATV and Dirt Bikes but also Scooters, Snowmobile, and Watercraft. He was planning to buy his own Harley-Davidson bike but his paycheck couldn’t afford one, instead he opted to rent one from Eaglerider. He was even telling me that if only everyone learn how to use bikes, we will be guaranteed with trafficless streets. That, I doubt haha. I am just glad that hubby is not into these things too.
not for me.
Malindi not!
Just when it is the right time to buy the Crocs Malindi I have been patiently waiting for because previously, the Turquoise color doesn't have my size and now, there is no Turquoise available in any size! I guess it isn't for me after all.
Nevertheless, I'd like to spread the word that there are a lot of other online shops going on sale until the 4th of July weekend. So check them out. And happy 4th of July everyone!
thank you gift.
We have been staying at hubby's aunt's humble abode for almost 8 months and tomorrow we are finally leaving the place to move to our own. No matter how excited I am on living on our own and managing the household solely by me and hubby, we are leaving this house with a heavy heart. To give thanks for all their kindness and support, I am thinking of giving them gift baskets, what do you think? Do you think they'll appreciate it? No matter what gift we give them, nothing can repay their unconditional support when we were just starting to get settle down here.
paranoia.
Tomorrow's the day I have been waiting for, Our MOVE. It's definite and nothing can stop us not even the weather or any natural disaster (knock on wood) hahah! But, I have one more thing left for hubby to do, he should visit a door hardware and get us door alarms. There is a sliding door besides the dining area and you know how paranoid I am with sliding doors. Beside, the open backyard entrance is the sliding door. I even suggested to hubby that we put alarms on every window. Can't blame me being so paranoid living in this big city.
this week's simplicity tips
Happy Monday everyone. I woke up feeling very good today and feeling giddy about 2 things: our move and my 1st day of class today. I hope all this feeling good and giddy will last the whole week. Leaving you with your weekly dose of simplicity tips from: My Simpler Life.
1. Since many kids are on summer break it's a great time to train them on new chores.
2. Work with others as allies instead of comparing and competing.
3. Speak only positively for one full day.
4. Have plants that are easier to take care of.
5. Plan a time to get together with your extended family.
6. Decide on three goals for tomorrow - one work, one home and one personal.
7. Draw, doodle, paint, or make something.
search your engines.
Remember hubby's uncle who has 2 of his cars fixed and ended up paying triple with what he was suppose to pay? Yea, he's still pissed. But, after another uncle talked him in on auto body sacramento where he could find reliable and reputable experts in the field of collision repair, he's mood lightened up. He has made a decision and will have his cars fixed by them. We're all looking forward to his better mood in the days to come.
Prayer for the MV Princess of the Stars fatalities and survivors.
I've been following the news on the victims of MV Princess of the Stars. I've heard so many heartbreaking stories why these passengers chose to ride the ship. Most of them were either vacationing or were going to Manila to fix their papers for a job abroad or they were bound to leave for Canada, US, etc...for greener pastures. But, what happens when their families' hopes disappeared with the victims?
This prayer from DEZ is very timely and I encourage everyone to join us.
Prayer for the MV Princess of the stars fatalities and survivors.
Dear God, we pray that you comfort each bereaved family everyday as they grieved for their loss, we pray that you will supply all their needs, we pray for the survivors that they may have a good life after the tragedy, that you will bless them and let them know in the deepest part of their heart that in spite of what have happened, you LOVE and CARE for them. This we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
I encourage everyone to keep the prayer going. LET’S P.U.S.H. PRAY UNTILL SOMETHING HAPPENS.
modern furnitures
Can you see that bed above? Do you think it's your style? Well, no matter how I love Modern Furniture, that bed ain't my style. Probably, hubby would see that really cool. You see, I caught hubby surfing on spacify.com again. All he ever wants is to have an ultra modern house on top of a mountain. I like the ultra modern house idea but the top of the mountain, no siree.
sayang... (part 2)
Another horrible performance of Amy Whine (este) Winehouse. This time she nudged and punched a fan. tsk tsk. True enough, all the drugs she took are going up on her brain. Sayang talaga tsk tsk. Watch her Nelson Mandela disaster performance 3 entries below.
options.
There had been so many no annual fee credit card offers that come our way but we are trying to be really careful in getting one these days. Especially here, where your credit standing measures your financial status. However, I have been frequenting creditcardsclub.com for their various offers. They consolidate and compare rates from different credit card companies making it easy for anyone to choose which credit card is adept to their needs. Would we get one? I don't know, we are trying to survive with a debit card and just 1 credit card. I hope we could survive with these 2 plastics for long.
banjing-banjing
I've been such a lazy cat the whole of Saturday. All I did was wallow in my bed and watch TFC all day including a payperview of Pacquiao-Diaz fight. Woohoo! He made it again!
I realized I deserve some lazying up after all my hardwork and THIS. But when I saw my tasks, I've got 9 left and tomorrow will be the 1st day of my summer class., the lazying up is not really a good idea tsk tsk. All because of grabbing too much eh! Don't have I time to breathe?
autobots...nah!
Nope, this entry won't be about Transformers' autobots which my son is going gaga over with. This is about the auto body san francisco repair shop that my friend has been frequenting. The reason why I'm writing this because I was just saddened to hear that hubby's uncle's nth attempt to have his cars fixed by buying auto body parts went wrong again. He got them from unreputable auto body shop repair store and now he is paying more than triple of what it will actually cost him. I just wish we had the auto body shop my friend is going too. This affected us in a way because I tell you, Hubby's Uncle is freaking out and I don't think we will have a good weekend. uh-oh!
sayang...
Why do people with so much talent waste their time, money and throat on drugs? Sayang super! I hope she'll get help before it's too late and we'll all just meet her at the crossroads.
row row row your boat.
I woke up this morning upon hearing a very loud roaring sound. Heck, the sound came from the lake in my window which is about 20 steps away from the house. You see these hunky neighbors (oh yes despite their noise, they're reallu goodlooking) have been partying all night and seems to me they hadn't sleep and went to boating and jetskiing straight! I wonder if they took any Boating Education Online which could help combat Alcohol Related Boating Fatalities Accidents. Looks like they were being so loud and noisy! A Drag race in the lake indeed! Makes me remember about the Arizona Boating website which gives vital information on Boating Operating Under the Influence.
Oh well it's 10:30am and I need get up! I am leaving you with 2 very informative videos about boating, check it out, worthy of your short time.

Virtual Business
A few years ago I started an online shop. However, I was juggling it with my day job plus my other racket which has taken my focus more as my weekend sideline, therefore, the online shop did not materialize well. Too bad as my idea was so unique and the reception was very promising. After a year, I closed it down. A few weeks ago, hubby asked me if where did I get all the ideas on how to
Start your own virtual goods business. I told him, I don't have any learning on it, this might be the major reason why it failed. I don't even have any knowledge on shopping carts etc... A friend who has 2 online shops has been getting his ecommerce cart from WoWScript. WoWScript is a fully featured ecommerce cart specifically tailored to buying and selling virtual goods such as World of Warcraft accounts. The software contains all the features of major account selling sites and looks to me as a nice starting point for a budding online entrepreneur. They have a demon in this site: http://www.wowpremier.com/demo where you could have a glimpse of what they can offer. I think one of the key feature an online shop should have is an effective shopping cart software.

— The Best Gift Ever —
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” And stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse,
Matt 7:11, “And if ye, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?”
As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God’s blessing because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for…
PLS. SEND THIS TO AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE SO AS TO LET THIS GREAT LESSON FLOW AROUND.

Lesson I learned: (Write here what your learned)
Don't make presumptions, ayan tuloy di niya nakita ang susi ng kotse or kaya naman wag na masyadong magpakulo pag magbibigay ng gift ayan nasayang ang binayaran ni papa! hahaha!
Kidding aside, we should always be grateful with what is handed to us, no matter how we like it or not. Like in our day to day activities, no matter how bad our day can be, we should try to find joy in everything that is thrown to us, malay mo may susi pala ng kotse dun LOL!

on the road.
A friend of mine is currently in Maryland for a training. That's a nice 4-5 hours drive from where we are. I would really love to see and meet up with him but hubby is thinking if we either meet him there and pick him up or our friend avails of the car rental and drive to where we are. Afterall, there are some cool summer offers at advantage.com where they offer of up to a 50% discount on Luxury and Convertible car rentals. Rates are fantastically affordable, but then again, this friend wouldn't be really be bothered by the price as he can afford anything even a front seat Janet Jackson concert. Haha!
party poPPer!
Finally, a SOLID reason to close down the Embassy Bar.
according to a text message to PEP:
In a text message received by PEP at 9:48 p.m., he said (published as is): "We are currently investigating the incident (a fist fight that occured this morning) alongside the Taguig city mayors office. After we sort out the incident and file an official report to the police, which we are doing now as we communicate, we intend to reopen. Right now, Embassy Cuisine, Cafeteria and Members Only are all open."
and HE IS feeling vindicated at this moment.
unique is her taste
A very close friend is getting married this December in Vegas. I am excited because if hubby's schedule permits, we are coming over to attend her small wedding. This would be my 1st time to attend a Las Vegas wedding and the bride is someone really close to my heart. I would want to surprise her with something she isn't thinking of, unique wedding favors. You see, this friend of mine wouldn't mind if those giveaways will come out as cheap wedding favors because what truly matters to her is the uniqueness in the favors. She wants everything out of the ordinary. I just wish that what I would find for her would truly suit her taste.
i knew it!
I anticipated this already.
I just knew that the LV Monogram Vernis is coming out with an Alma MM collection (much more in violette!) and they did. Oh my goodness, I can't stop myself from drooling and salivating altogether LOL! Available in 3 colors and with a tag of 2000 bucks!
according to the site:
- Monogram vernis embossaed patent leather
- Shiny golden brass hardware
- Rolled patent handles with link attachments
- Removable leather key bell with padlock keys tucked inside
- Signature-engraved round golden studs
- Double zip top closure with padlock
- Fine textile lining
- Interior patch pocket and cell phone pocket
- 15.2"x 11.2"x 7.3"
- Made in France
uhuh?!
No matter how friends talk me in about cars or Accord Radiator, I really do not have any interest on them. This lead to my unliking with driving or maybe the more apt term is fear of driving haha. But this month, I made a promise to hubby that I would definitely take the driving test here, at least the written exam for now. No matter how I avoid it, it is but a necessity to drive here. Or else me and mini-stripe will be stuck at home for the whole week. That's sad. I'll try to make that my motivation. But as I see it, it is so much easier to drive here, not only because the drivers are more disciplined but also there are lesser cars here and you'd be shocked with their speed limits. I tell you it is really low, at least at the rate on how our bus drivers in Manila are going.
techy student.
frustration.
I get frustrated everytime hubby is requesting for massage from me. I just simply do not know how to massage much less acquire spa jobs! It always ends up hubby teaching me how to do it. He's good at it. This reminds me of my favorite masseuse in Manila. You see, me, my mom and brother just love to treat ourselves with an hour of home-service massage at least once a week. This I truly miss as in this side of the world, services such as this is so expensive, truly a luxury. I wonder though if the masseuse here got their jobs thru beautyjobs.com because if I remember it, I used to refer my masseuse to that website when she was looking for an overseas spa job.

worst nightmare
You know what to me is the worst nightmare of all? It is to be in a big debt hole! Although there are a lot of credit card debt help out there, financial debts are really nightmares for me. Just imagine, not knowing where to get debt payments and not being able to sleep well because of unaccounted debts, oh boy, even your family members will be affected by this big disaster. I might say that during my younger years, I was too reluctant with my expenditures that I have learned to be financially wise now that I am married. I just hope this continues and I won't be easily tempted by my wants and things I drool often in this site LOL!

on halloween costumes
We're just few months away from Halloween and to be honest, as early as now, I am already scouting for Halloween costumes for me, my toddler and hubby. I want us all to be in costumes. For the past 3 years, my boy is sporting the same halloween costumes, YODA! Oh yes he was LOL! I was always busy around that time of the year that I haven’t had the time to buy him newer costumes. This year I promise to make up and buy his costume way in advance. You see, he just turned three and by now, he has a clearer knowledge on what Halloween is. Last year though, he was too happy with the pumpkins and was able to experience his 1st pumpkin patch in Napa Valley, San Francisco. It was our 1st time to celebrate Halloween here in U.S. But, his dad was in the east coast so he missed to witness the joy in my son’s eyes when he saw the pumpkins, different sizes and kinds. Last year, I was able to order him a pooh costume from costumercauldron.com but it arrived way too late for the Halloween night. This year, I am gonna look at the malls or be creative enough to improvise or create on if I don’t find anything unique. I don’t want the usual costumes because we had a blast seeing him wearing the Yoga outfit. When we did the trick or treat, almost every household we visited was so fond of my son’s costume. At first they won’t recognize who he was then they would eventually realize he was sporting a Yoda costume. I never was really fond of Halloween costumes and Halloween activities perse until I had my son. I realize every Halloween should be planned because they only pass childhood once in their lives.

living it up in motor homes
I often see a lot of motor homes here. There is actually a big shop which is very near our place, where they have a number of motor homes for rent. I didn't realize it is quite popular here until a friend of mine told me about it. I find it strange, she and her family has been living in various Motorhomes for several years now. They love the convenience that these motor homes brings with their very mobile lifestyle. They get their motor homes from RVs.com. This website offers New RVs, Used RVs, New Motorhomes, and Used Motorhomes, and have a lot of other types of RVs For Sale. My friend loves their products that's why she chose on investing more on RVs than on a real house. You see, this friend of mine requires to move from various states because of her hubby's profession. But for the past 2 years, her husband has been assigned to Texas and still, they did not invest on a house. Her kids love living in RVs as well. They say their house is cool. I guess each one of us has different perspectives on what we like about our so-called home eh.
this week's simplicity tips
To start off our week, here's a weekly dose of simplicity tips from: My Simpler Life. Have a good one!
2. Stressed? Call a friend.
3. Put your upset into perspective.
4. Keep track of what you are spending.
5. Drink more water and less pop and coffee.
6. Get extra sunscreen and stash on the porch, at work, in your beach bag.
7. Take 5-30 minutes to relax today.
calmness.
Sometimes we get too stressed with our lives that we forget to get hold of what's going on inside of us. We become too busy that our health condition is oftentimes at stake and it is too late to find out about this. Also, with so much negativity in the world, we forget the best thing to live a quality life is to absorb only the positive energy and let go of every single negative things in our lives. AbsoluteCalm products help you focus on the positivity of life. The purpose of the product is to calm the body and relax nerves in stressful times so that you will feel refreshed and focused. We get too caught up with our lifestyle routines and there are some of us who are having a hard time calming themselves, some couldn't even sleep. It is best to check on this site and see what other alternatives you might need in having that absolute calmness that we all want to have in the midst of our stressful lives. For me, the best thing to do to make myself keep steady from all the hustle and bustle that everyday stresses give me is to pray for forbearance, strength and grace.
for yuki, from jacqui
A message from JACQUI:
To all my online friends/bloggers:
I don't know if I will be violating any blogging code of ethics, but I would like to take this chance to seek for financial assistance for my officemate who needed much help for the operation of their 5-month old daughter Yuki. His daughter is suffering from a rare congenital disease, biliary artesia -- a condition in newborn infants in which the common bile duct between the liver and the small intestine is blocked or absent.
I am appealing to your kind hearts for any possible assistance you can extend to Yuki and her family. The liver-transplant operation needs to be done in Taiwan immediately, and the hospitalization bills need to be raised within the next three months to save her life.
To know more about Yuki's condition : http://dedicated2yuki.blogspot.com/
timely payday loans
Everybody I know is complaining about the gas price increase, it just won't stop! Some friends have even resorted to Fast Payday Loans and hubby's Uncle is thinking of looking for a new higher paying job. He predicts that the gas price won't go down anymore, it will just keep on increasing and increasing. Too bad, the economy worldwide these days are getting from bad to worst. My mom said this is a global thing and no one is spared of. Thanks to fast payday loans where we can always turn for emergency crisis such as this. Stop worrying, there's always payday loan for our emergency needs.
Simple Healing Prayer meme

Dear God,

A lot of celebrities are going for Botox. In fact, 1 of the most famous singers was a topic on Perez Hilton's blind item. He denied that he undergone a Botox Chicago but during his last concert, it was indeed very obvious that he got one. I think there is nothing shameful to deny or hide when a celebrity had botox! After all, their looks are their investments. They should capitalize on these. And I for one, have no qualms about celebrities getting one. I would rather that they acknowledge their enhancements rather than denying them. Although, it is their right to hid these obvious facts.

tubby tubs
If you have been paying close attention to my personal blogs, you will see that my son is such a bath tub addict. He swims on his tub 4-5 times a day while I read books for him. I guess the scorching heat has been the cause of his special liking to tubs. Hubby is on the hunt for some walkin tubs that are childproof. You see, sometimes, he accidentally bangs his head on the tub and it scares me. I hope we find a way to childproof the tubs in the townhome that we are moving to or hubby finds some child-friendly walkin tubs.

when 5 become 1
I have had a lot of webhosting counseling from my blogging buddies, some of them were encouraging me to consolidate all 5 of my domain into 1 web host. They say it would be really hard at 1st but as soon as I've learned the ins and outs of using a web host, it would be easier for me to manage all 5 of it. They also say I don't need to be really techy in order to understand web hosting. You see, I may have several domains but I do not know anything about web hosting and my knowledge on CSS and html coding are very limited. Then one of them sent me a site where I read the top 10 web hosting providers-web hosting reviews. It is very helpful for someone like me who is on the lookout of a web host. I think you should pay the site a visit and see some of the relevant reviews on almost all web hosting services available.

score your domain names
What's the history of your domain names? My blogs' domain names were all spur of the moment except for this blog which I have to really name it after my online pseudonym. I didn't realize that the domain name can make or break your online success read: traffic and page ranks. Yes they do. This afternoon while my son was having his naptime, I took a quiz which determines my domain name scorecard and I was surprised to see that out of my 5 blogs, 2 of them failed! But, I do not really care because I love all my domain names and I am keeping them for good. But if you are thinking of starting your own domain for an online business well it is important for you to take the quiz first as you will be taught of thinking domains that would be powerful business assets. Network Solutions' domain name scorecard is a free quiz. After taking the quiz, it will directly tell you how well your domain name will help in the success of your online business. There are actually 3 simple questions to be answered and a detailed analysis will be seen in the scorecard. If you have the time, check it out.
