Celebrity Tidbits...

Did you know that there are a number of celebrities who are under medicines prescription right now? These are the celebrities who are addicted to illegal drugs. Well, I saw online about the Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and suprised to learn that a number of great actresses and actors, singers, well-known celebrities were victims of such addiction. It's a sad truth since they are open to more susceptible things in the world, almost everything is within their reach. But it is also noteworthy that these celebrities are taking their own free will to change their lives.  It is good to know that despite the vulnerabilities of these celebrities, there is still hope that they can recover and bring back their lives.  It is not right to judge them right away but it would really be good to see their real life experiences through the reality TV show that have spawned the airwaves now.  The real drama can be seen.  Understanding how they have become addicted, following their struggles to recovery, the pains and gains of withdrawals and retrievals from their drug abuse, it is indeed a good way to educate as well the public about this sickness in the society.  A number of good lessons can also be perceived from it.  I hope these celebrities would be on their way to recovery of good health and life.  Catch the show as well.

Fresh Flowers...

One of the nicest things from my job is that I get to grab extra decors from my events particularly some beautiful fresh flowers. It was timely as we had another party last weekend at home. Aside from fixing my office furniture in my home office, I made sure to rearrange the flowers in our side tables in the living room.





I do not exactly know how to call these flowers but they are just pretty big blooms in red. And oh, we have changed as well most of the pictures in our frames.  It's a brand new year so there should be some new stuff in the house as well.

iPad!

It's the next big thing. Apple released it's newest baby. Everyone is raving about it. Well, based on the video I saw, can't help but also crave to have one, very sleek, very functional and very affordable as well. It won't be out in the market until end of March. I am sure a lot of people have already subscribed to the notification of Apple if the units would be released already. No doubt, a number would be lining up in stores just to have one pass the barcode scanner right away so that they can finally have it in their hands.  I'm probably one of those people!  I wish, it would be available in time for our travel in the West! 

Christmas Gift for the husband...

Forgot to blog about my gift for the husband last christmast.  Good thing that the husband is so low maintenance. He didn't ask for anything extravagant last christmas. I don't have to worry to order for imported cigars online since he doesn't actually smoke. He didn't require me to buy him any expensive gadget. Instead, he just asked me to get him 2 bottles of perfume. I happily obliged on what he wants besides it is just so easy to find.  Headed out the nearest mall with him and he chose the brands himself.  These are what he chose...

Due for maintenance...

I am carless tomorrow as my car is due for maintenance. I have to find a way to get to my meetings without harassing the husband to change cars with me again. He actually asked me also to upgrade already my insurance policy and even include a motorhome towing service, which I think is a great value service. Have you heard about this service?  You should also try getting one as it would be of good help during emergencies.   Try to research about it. 

Promise for February...

I would start taking best diet supplement by the month of February. I can't just easily do it this month as there are a lot of get-togethers happening still until end of the month. But the beach is very inviting by summer so need to really prepare my body. Aside from that, we are surely going to feast for the upcoming vacation we have this May.  I look forward in buffet hopping in hotels in Las Vegas!  We would surely not miss it!

Black!

You Need Some Black in Your Life

Black will make you feel powerful, in control, and not bound to what other people think of you. And with a little black, you will project a aura of mystery, rebellion, and dominance. If you want people to respect you, you've got to get a little black in your life! For extra punch: Combine black with orange or red The downside of black: People won't be able to "read" you - and may perceive you as more aggressive than you actually are The consequences of more black in your life: You'll become a figure of intrigue and speculation You'll be better prepared for life's unknown path You'll rest better and free yourself of expectations

Get together...

This weekend is all about catching up with good old time friends. Love it! It was like a mini reunion last saturday when we all went for the wedding of two of our good friends. We saw familiar faces from our friends from our catholic community before. It was nice to see that most are married already and that everyone seems to have a very happy life. Sunday is a get-together of my friends whom I met from a wedding preparation forum. One of our friends went home from Sydney, Australia for a quick visit so I invited her in our house so she could see as well her godchild, our daughter. It was fun as some of our other friends also came to join us. I toured them in our house and all of them complimented our copper sinks. It was a good choice as for my friend based in Sydney. She said she have never seen like it before. It feels so good  to have these get-togethers! 

Happy Day!!!

It is indeed a happy day for me and the husband. First off, it is confirmed that I am not pregnant, lol! Thank goodness! Secondly, we went out to rejoice about and made some little shopping. I went home with a very nice pair of shoes from Tory Burch and my husband finally got the mounts for our LCD TV's in the house. He has been eyeing those since last year.  Yes, we made some indulgences on our purchases after we learned the good news!!! lol! 

Opening of the store...

I can't wait for the opening of our new business. I hope all paperworks would be over soon so we can proceed with our new venture. We are in the process of preparing our private placement memorandum already with the franchising company and we are ready to sign the contracts. I would post soon what the business is all about. It's a food business and we have high hopes for it.  For the meantime, we are preparing all logistical matters and discussing our marketing strategies to attract more customers.  Wish us luck!

An iphone?

Before I assist my cousin for his Philadelphia job search, I have been contemplating to get an iphone. Actually it's a toss between iphone and a blackberry. Really no idea which one would be better. A friend is selling her iphone at a very good rate so I'm tempted to get it. I know how much she's taking care of her things so I am sure the phone she's selling is of good working condition.  Now, i practically do not know how to use an iphone especially its touch screen feature but i like the idea of being online all the time.  I am actually thinking of a blackberry instead. Which do you think is better?

Exercise from home

This 2010 model of treadmill is actually on sale online. I need to show to the husband since we are really planning to buy one for our home use. He's been very busy with work so he really cannot find time to go to the gym during lunch breaks or even after work. So we are thinking to get a fitness equipment instead so he can still exercise even if he's home.  Would you have any suggestions or tips on how to choose the right equipment particularly treadmill?  Do you think it's price of $600 is a good deal already?  

A nice morning...

greeted me as I read an exciting email from my sister-in-law from the west coast! She already made plans for our coming vacation and I can't wait to finalize it. Of course, that includes visiting Las Vegas, Reno, San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles. We are very happy to attend also her upcoming graduation from Dentistry degree in Californina. We are excited for her as well. I hope her plans to have her masters for advance studies can also push through. I'm sure she would do great there and I'm confident that she can be graced as a sought after dentist like those Plano cosmetic dentist I have heard in the news recently.

Yipee!

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning. It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...

Are You A Good Cook?

Hiking...

It is something new for me but we are going for a hiking this coming May. I can't wait. I am so excited actually. My sister-in-law said she is already preparing for our itinerary for our visit. In fact, she's been booking hotels and vans for us as well. In the itinerary, it even includes a hiking in some sites on the west. She said she also bought us some fall protection gears since she knows that it is our first time for such an adventure. I wonder if the kids can survive such but my sister-in-law said it should be fine and the kids would love it.  Now, I have been counting the days till we have this grand vacation! 

Envy!

Is this the real side effects of diet pills? Judy Ann Santos is hot! Now I want to be in diet pills! lol! i am not her fan but I must say that she has bloomed to a beautiful woman. Ok, I admit, she's also a good actress and I envy her!!!  I wish I could be as slim as her. 

Apparently,   I already stopped my South beach diet.  Now I want to go back to it again.  Need to prepare to be skinny again in time for a major vacation on May.  I need to make work harder this time to lose all those flabs and extra pounds.

Facial...

I think I need to go out to get myself some facial treatment. I have been looking so stressed after back to back events. That explains the two zits I have on my forehead (again!). Actually it is so weird that it actually grew exactly on the same spot. Now, I wonder whether the best acne treatment that my sister-in-law is recommending would do the wonders. But I want to meet first my dermatologist before I make any moves. I have been preparing my skin for change of weathers that I would be experiencing since I am pretty sure I would get some breakouts. I hope it won't be as bad just like the last time that I went in a cold place.  Got to call for an appointment now!

I love New York!

You Belong in NYC

You're a person on the go, and you need to be in a city that never sleeps. You enjoy being inspired by people who are as ambitious as you are. You're the type of person who works hard and plays hard. You need constant stimulation. Cultured and street smart, you can truly appreciate everything New York has to offer.

Are You LA or NYC?

Lack of sleep...

I have been deprived for sleep for the past couple of days already. Work has been on its peak at this time of the month. Thanks to some under eye creams which I use to cover up my dark circles. With my work, I still need to look good whenever I face clients.  I think I need to schedule some facial treatments also next week.  Since there are about two zits on my forehead already that spells my stress!!! 

Wonder...

if there are natural cure for hemorrhoids? I have heard about some pure organic oil available in the market today. Apparently, my cousin needs help on her disease. She has been bothered about it for quite sometime now and its getting painful as well. She already went to a number of doctors and have tried some other medications but can't seem to find the right cure when the pain strikes again.  Well, I should also tell her to check and review other treatments available online.  A friend even told me that there's a review site for all of these medications. 

Work with Pleasure...

Currently enjoying our time in a very nice resort in the North. After working for few hours in checking the venue, we went down to enjoy swimming in the very nice pool. Of course, me and my girlfriends didn't mind our bulges and just didn't care less if there are other people. We still have to wear our swimsuits. One of my staff doesn't need to be ashamed at all since she's been so skinny and I envy her to death! I am actually asking her if she's been using adipex. Looks like she lost about 20lbs and that's a lot!!! Now, I am thinking should I also take one so next time we have another event on this venue would be another work with pleasure.

Dreaming...

I have been dreaming to stay in one of those beautiful hotels in cancun. I hope we could go here in our lifetime. The husband and I both love the beach and the sand so going to places like this is something we would like to do when we would want rest and relaxation.  There are so  much more places to explore.  We actually have made our list of places we would like to see.  We are planning our travels every year.  I just noticed that we have included a beach destination every year.  As for Cancun, I think we are counting few more years but we would get there! 

One major trip...

The husband and I agreed on one major trip for this year. I hope he would agree as well to add into that cause I really want to consider checking out Outer Banks vacation rentals. I love travelling and I just can't settle for one trip for the year. Well, I am happy though for the shopping money he alloted for me. So do you think I should rest my case? But if ever I would find good deals in airfare and accommodations, I guess I can still convince him to consider adding another family vacation.

Hiatus...

I have been in hiatus from blogging since the holidays. Life has been busy, pretty busy actually. And as the new year begins, there are so much more to think of including a review of a motorcycle accident attorney, as help for my cousin who needs one. I am trying to get beack to the groove of blogging but I think I need a little more time to gather my thoughts and start writing again. I hope things would get back to normal by next week. I really hope so.

Special Request....

My nephew is asking for a special gift from me since he is an honor student from their class. He wants me to get him a new cellphone. Apparently, the husband got an extra phone from their office. Now, we just need to figure out how to make it an unlocked phone so he can use his current simcard.  I got to give in to that special request since I promised him that I would really reward him if he would have an award from his class.  I'm proud of him anyway!  He's one of the best in their class.
