Aw, credit cards!

Did you know that a number have actually been victims of bad credit credit cards? Well, I almost did. In fact, with a number of "free" credit cards being given away, I thought it is entirely a good idea to own multiples. But I just realized how many are not secured at all. With no minimum requirements, you have to be weary of such cards. I am glad to have cleared my two credit cards already. In fact with 0 balance already. Happiness to have finally paid off all my installment purchases through those cards. I want to keep those cards free from any liabilities as my back up when we travel this May. 

Off for a great weekend...

Our family is off for a great weekend. We are hoping that the resort that we got to book has nice rooms and accommodations. I want to relax and just enjoy the cool breeze of lake front environment as i open the room's pine shutters. Don't you just love custom window panels in most of the hotels or resorts in the countryside?  I hope I can get to relax without any distractions. The kids are excited to go swimming.  I am excited too.  Though no time for me to buy anymore a new swimsuit, the old ones would do.   I better go swimming as well so it could be a great exercise for me as well.

Princess Birthday...

It is one of my Princesses Birthday tomorrow! Happy 5th to my DD! She's all growing up to be a very pretty girl. She's going to be in Kindergarten already by next school year. How time really flies right? I plan to bring her to the mall so she could pick a toy that she wants. Then we would dine out to have her favorite pasta! Then I would have a little surprise for her. Hope she would like it!

Happy!

I am so glad that I was able to find the cheapest car insurance for our current vehicle. The husband was very pleased with all my research. With that, he rewarded me by giving to me the extra money from the big savings we got from an insurance. So I am one happy gal!  Although we are still thinking to sell what we currently have as we plan to buy a bigger one, which would be perfect when we go out of town, we are still required to get it insured.  The plan to buy a new vehicle has been a shelved idea since last year.  Now, we are again reviewing our finances if we can already afford one.  I hope we could.  Crossing my fingers! 

A must...

You have not enjoyed much of being an urban person if you haven't been to a theme park. There are a number of theme parks in the country and I, myself is so looking forward for an Orlando vacation. I browsed through the site and I am so close in booking a 4 days and 3 nights tickets for the whole family. Aw! really hoping we could get here sometime. I am very sure the kids would have a blast and it would definitely be one of their most memorable trips. Apparently, I am amazed that I can book everything from just one site. From the Disneyworld, to Seaworld and even Universal Studios, everything is there and even includes best deals. Yes, it is a must for every urban girl like me. My family deserves that too!

I knew it!

I am destined for Cali...

You Are California

You are cutting edge and diverse. People may call you flaky, but you can't help that you have a lot going on. In general, you are friendly and laid back. There's nothing you like better than a quiet afternoon at the beach. You are socially progressive and open minded. Anyone is welcome into your circle of friends. You may be a bit image conscious, but you understand that appearances matter!

What US State Are You?

Blogthings: We're Not Shrinks, But We Play Them On the Internet

8th good years...

My business have survived 8 good years in the industry. I can't thank enough the One up there for all the blessings i have received for the past years. I am grateful for clients who have continuously putting good words about us. I plan to have a simple celebration for this year. Maybe invite our previous clients and just treat them for good food and just catch up on them as well. So i am thinking of nice promotional items that I can order which would be a good souvenir for them. I hope to get something economical but still a useful item to give-away. Let me start my search now...

He needs help...

A cousin is actually in panic already as he still needs to finish his final paper for custom essay writing about climate change. I have been helping him to get all references from the internet which he can use to make his papers. I wonder how he can finish it since the submission would just be less than a week. I am already suggesting to him to check out custom writing service. He is actually not solve to the idea but I just can't imagine his tension now as he hasn't started anything yet. I was informed by a friend about the idea of getting the best writing service from the internet that helps one on academic papers. Apparently there are services available that are extremely confidential and affordable as well. You are assured of the uniqueness of the content since the topic would be written by skilled writers based on the specific requirements of the subject or assignment. I don't think I have much time to help him out so I am even thinking to just give it to him as a gift instead. Besides, that's the only thing he needs to finish in order to complete this term.  Do you think this would be a better idea? I wish there were something like this during my college years.  How such could have helped my life before.  Well, this is how changing times are. 

All about Aesthetics...

Has anyone heard about the popular Beverly hills cosmetic surgery ? Well, I have been reading good things about it. Apparently, I wanted to check out a good plastic surgery center for an aunt who is looking for one. Based on reviews, the Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery is very known for Los Angeles tummy tuck and beverly hills breast augmentation , which even the hollywood celebrities are actually having. I wonder if they do have a pool of clientele with celebrity names. I want to know actually. An aunt is actually driving all the way from Reno and have asked me to accompany her to the center. So I have been reviewing what they can actually offer to my aunt who is known to be very vain. As I search on the site, I was suprised to see a very nice office. I guess they are living up to the expectations of their clients by maintaining an elegant looking center. They have fully trained medical doctors and anesthesiologists who are actually known on their fields. In the site, they have indicated the number of machines that they do have which are all proving to use cutting edge technology but ensuring a highest level of safety.  I am actually surprised to know that they even offer financing plans for most of their treatments.  After reviewing much on the testimonials from their previous clients, looks like their center is actually the best within California, actually might even be the best within the country.  They have actual patients video that attest to their good experience and favorable results from the said plastic surgery center.  Now, I am equipped on what to tell my aunt when she arrives here.  I'm pretty sure she would be very happy to know all of these things I have researched as she definitely want one all for aesthetics.  Will give feedback after our consultations...

I'm an avid fan...

Ok, I admit that I am an avid fan of Katie Holmes! From her days in Dawson's Creek till she became a Mrs. Cruise and a very fab mom to Suri, I have been following her. As many have said, she has accomplished that stature of becoming one of Hollywoods "IT" girls. No need for any wrinkle creams nor diet pills for her as she's one hot and pretty face. Love all about her, her hair, her style of dressing, her fashion. I also love her fascination for handbags and I am drooling over her Balenciaga Day Bag in Vert Gazon GGH. Notice how nice she was carrying that beautiful baby! Oh, I wish I could have one like that too!  One ultimate dream!  lol!  I wish there's a tree in our backyard that grows $$$!  lol!

Aging Gracefully...

I mean, ageing gracefully is no mean feat, but Michelle Pfeiffer looks fabulous as she turns fifty. I wonder is she is ever using hgh releaser to reverse signs of aging! I wonder how could she ever age so slow and still be in great shape. Aw! Want to be like her and all other celebrities that are aging gracefully. I am worried about wrinkles you know!  I guess I have to really start reviewing my lifestyle now.  Go back to healthy living, eating and with proper exercise.  I hope I can be true to my words.  Goodluck to me!

Spring Break is here...

Yeah, Spring break is almost here.  Aren't you excited?  It is my favorite season.  And in no time, we would be in a grand vacation.  I can't wait.  So what to do this Spring Break?  Here are some suggestions I gathered from the net:

1.  Get a Tan

2.  Travel to someplace warm

3.  Party

4.  Hang out with friends

5.  Shop for summer clothing

6.  Lose weight

7.  Play outdoor games

8.  Go to the movies (nice movies are being shown during spring break)

9.  Walk your dog

10. Look for summer internship

11.  Take a class in the gym

12.  Take scuba lessons

Oh I wish I could do all of the above! 

Be safe...

In today's living, it is really very hard to keep up to become healthy. There are lots of temptations around in food and lifestyle. I'm guilty of it actually. Our household menu normally includes pork as a food staple. I know I should infuse more veggies and those anti-oxidant food to refrain us from getting diseases. I would try my very best to adhere to this. I became a scared cat after reading all about colon cancer. The mom of a close friend was actually diagnosed with one and I could tell how devasted they family were. So I went across the net to check some colon cleanser review. I have read that the best cleansers are actually those that are designed to really flush out from the colon any undigested waste and can detoxify the digestive system. Other cleansers are actually claiming to have also help in losing weight.  That's a good benefit.  Well, it is important to be safe now so a change in our lifestyle should be considered.  

For my home office...

You Should Paint Your Room Yellow

Bright and bold, yellow is truly the color of inspiration. Your yellow room will drive you to think clearly, develop new ideas, and be organized. Yellow is also energizing and very powerful. So don't expect to rest in there!

Beach babe...

I wonder if we would ever hit the beach this year as most of the resorts we have checked are all fully-booked for the dates that we are available. Arg! I hate it. Wanted to escape from busy city life and just lounge around a hammock or a beach hut while enjoying the view of a sea breeze. Ah, oh so cool. But also need time to trim down to be one hot beach babe. I have been lurking around the site of dietsthatwork.net to see the appropriate pills or programs that would work best for me. The site is actually reviewing the effectiveness of the Top 10 Diets available in the market today. Wonder if I would ever get back to shape and would be proud again wearing my skimpy two-piece swimsuit!

Great finds for weddings...

Wedding nowadays are entirely different.  It's mostly well-thought of and well-spent for as well. I am was browisng for some nice stuff for weddings since I have a number of brides who want to customized almost all paraphernalia for their weddings. There are fancy favors that I found even cute and personalized wedding napkins, which I find really very nice.  Their monogram can be included and can even choose the color based on motif.  These can really add up to beautiful details on each wedding. 

Lazy Sunday...

On this lazy sunday, all we have to do is sleep. I love it. I just cooked a good snacks for the whole family and now I'm busy watching my favorite celebrity scoop show, while the husband is playing on his new playstation 3! Yeah, he recently bough one yesterday. The kids are playing in the other room. I love this kind of Sunday. It's relaxing to be with family without thinking of any work-related activities.  But tomorrow, is another day!  Monday, here you go again!

For my company's site...

I am practically looking for a free seo software that can help increase the traffic to my company's site.  I wanted to hit the right market by making on top of the list for search engines.  In fact, websites do really matter for any overseas couples who are planning for their wedding in the country.  60% of our client's base are from abroad actually.  Our website is one of the major tools in my marketing strategies.  And finding a FREE search engine optimization is my top priority now. Looks like I found one! 

It's been a long day...

Started off early since my daughter had her dress rehearsal for their stage play this morning. Calltime was at 730am. Glad they finished before lunch so I was able to catch up with friends in a japanese restaurant. Then we head off to check out a newly opened slimming salon inside the mall. We inquired if they have any thermogenic fat burner since one of my girlfriends is really interested to try it out. Unfortunately, they cannot give us a comprehensive information about it so told my friend to relay on what we could research first on the internet. But we capped the day by watching a very mushy, (but a good one also) local movie.  And oh, we had frozen yogurts after it.  It's really good to catch up once in a while with friends despite our very busy schedules on this urban life.  

Mom's Concerns...

I was chatting with some other mommies from my daughter's school this morning and we were talking about vanity! Yes, apparently, all other moms there as urban chic as I am. We worry a lot, not just about household concerns but as well as physical vanity. One is even considering having her liposuction. Another one said she already inquired for botox. And the rest are actively participating in some strict exercise like pilates or yoga. Oh well, as for me, I told them that I am not in the point yet of making all means to keep myself pretty and sexy. I only worry about on getting rid of blackheads, lol! As long as my husband says that I'm still hot, I am confident of what I currently have. :P

Organizing Supplies...

I am one of the those many who actually work from home. And keeping my work station clean and tidy has always been a challenge. Besides, I do not have a secretary or an assistant to actually fix my table, file my documents and organize my office supplies. I practically do everything. It's a whole lot different for a real office scenario.  If you are deciding to do a home-based business, basic essential things should be present in running one.  Here's simple practical list:

1.  Basic home furnitue (a table and a comfortable chair)

2.  A filing cabinet

3.  A phone line.  (a second phone line exclusive for the business would be good)

4.  A modem

5.  An answering machine (would be great!)

6.  A computer but a laptop would be better. 

7.  A yellow pages listing.

8.  Internet connection

9.  A printer (3 in 1s are good: with copier and scanner)

10.  A website

11.  A business card

12.  And most important of all, a very supportive family! ;)

For our May Vacation...

It's official. We are having a vacation this Spring and we are excited! The luggage sets should be ready by now, lol! Talking about overly excited! Although I think we also need a new one as our old one's handle fell off during our last trip to the beach. And since we are travellng as a family, meaning with two kids in tow, we need to bring atleast a couple of three for the entire duration of our stay. I am hoping to find a good-valued 3-piece set. Any suggestions where I can source these out?
