We have finalized the theme.  It will be a Rockstar Concert theme.  Still deciding whether to get a show band to perform for the party or just hire a DJ.  The group I am considering can cater to kids parties.  They have a good repertoire and even uses state-of-the-art musical instruments like &lt;a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/drums-percussion/paiste-2002-cymbal-pack"&gt;paiste 2002 pack&lt;/a&gt;.

The husband is even thinking to change the wood flooring in our master's bedroom.  He saw an &lt;a href="http://www.bestlaminate.net/catalog/Alloc-1-1.html"&gt;alloc laminate flooring&lt;/a&gt; from a friend's house we visited over the weekend and he fell in love with it.  Though I am not sure if it's still a good idea because it will be inconvenient for us if we will stay in the room while it is being fixed.

While I am starting to check out outfits for me and the girls, my husband is on the other hand very busy in checking out &lt;a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&amp;amp;catalog=Online&amp;amp;category=8-9.9MP"&gt;trail cameras&lt;/a&gt;.  He's looking if it's worth it to buy from here or from abroad.  I am letting him decide on that matter as I have preference to just take care of other stuff like our clothes to bring.  It's going to be winter on the place we are going through so I wonder how we could ever lessen the stuff we need to bring.  I am thinking to get those vacuum sealing containers so we can pack lightly.  I'm sure packing will be crazy.

Weather Bureau in the country is saying that this year would bring more storms in our area of responsibility.  After the tremendous turmoil of experiencing a heavy typhoon about two years ago, wondering if it is necessary to invest in &lt;a href="http://www.survive-a-storm.com/"&gt;storm shelter&lt;/a&gt;.  I hope there could be companies who can actually develop this idea in the country.  The government should make extra effort to tie up with these companies so those communities which are usually hit by the storm can be spared from any calamities.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2411501519715565752-101676454797006002?l=www.experienceurbane.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/feeds/101676454797006002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2411501519715565752&amp;postID=101676454797006002' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/101676454797006002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/101676454797006002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/2011/07/is-it-summer.html' title='Is it summer?'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02857036802872778086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uNXTaTAwrQQ/TieVwCqF2_I/AAAAAAAAAXw/z7o0QpEb-C8/s72-c/Summer%253F.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411501519715565752.post-4763276745187896780</id><published>2011-07-20T03:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-20T03:33:05.787-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Artscow Albums'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Celebrations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kids'/><title type='text'>Something came in today!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wJrJttIZPiE/Tiarbo4Ir5I/AAAAAAAAAXo/ohnVDYu7Hho/s1600/photobooks.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wJrJttIZPiE/Tiarbo4Ir5I/AAAAAAAAAXo/ohnVDYu7Hho/s320/photobooks.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631376875391070098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yey!

I would rather get something refurbished, lol!  I am sure my brother will just agree to get him an iPad so he can benefit as well.  Though I heard from my nephew before that he still likes to get an Xbox as a gift.  I have to see if I can find a good deal online.

Rental rate for an overnight stay for this room is actually around $350 per night.  Quite steep right?  It comes with a gourmet breakfast which is actually a very good one.

But recently, he has not been playing the game anymore because of his busy schedule with work.

I got about almost 30 books available that I haven't even started reading.  Thanks to my online friends for sending those epub files to me.  I currently reading Mr. Maybe.  I finished reading Love the One You're With which is a current favorite.  I have a number of pages which I bookmarked from it.  There are lovely lines from the book.  I wonder if I can use a &lt;a href="http://www.officegemini.com/"&gt;scanning software&lt;/a&gt; for it so that I can really keep those files.  Also read Something Borrowed and Something Blue.  I love both books too.  It was 2 different perspective.

We are very excited for this one as I am sure the kids will have a blast.  And of course, we are anticipating more our US trip on December.  We are traveling to US to celebrate Christmas and New Year and at the same time to attend my brother-in-law's wedding.  I am still hoping there will be a HongKong trip this year.  I can't miss a year without HongKong!

I have shared the book to the husband and we are both excited to conquer the world! :D If everything falls according to our plans, we will push through with our 10th year wedding anniversary trip.  I'm excited!  There are a number of cities from europe which are listed on this book.  I am starting my research as early as now so we could make the most of the trip.  I am taking down notes and even asking friends around.  I better start planning our itinerary, checking accommodations and considering travel options either by plain, train or bus.

But this could just be any gossip.  I still heart the girl and her adorable daughter, Suri. It will be heart-breaking and I pity the little girl if the gossip about her momma is true.  Oh well, hollywood news!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2411501519715565752-9048029116510285088?l=www.experienceurbane.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/feeds/9048029116510285088/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2411501519715565752&amp;postID=9048029116510285088' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/9048029116510285088'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/9048029116510285088'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/2011/02/is-this-true.html' title='Is this true?'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02857036802872778086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZrGMfWZb02s/TWZ0Bbg9tEI/AAAAAAAAAWM/jUMxf0vujSs/s72-c/IMG_1604.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411501519715565752.post-5026574227556623609</id><published>2011-02-20T06:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-24T06:39:49.115-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Beauty'/><title type='text'>Body Oil</title><content type='html'>I use this oil whenever I have a home-service massage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CSoqm96PPxA/TWZr-RyKqSI/AAAAAAAAAWE/6XOxQseURl4/s1600/massageoil.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CSoqm96PPxA/TWZr-RyKqSI/AAAAAAAAAWE/6XOxQseURl4/s200/massageoil.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577263906214816034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I got it from a bazaar in the south area.

I was able to grab a great deal of $25 for 7 pieces.  It is a real steal!  I hope Victoria Secret could release another sale like this so I can order some more.  Those are extremely expensive here.

Candy buffet is becoming a popular option now for guests to partake during cocktail hour.  From the last wedding we organized, a number of guests have actually flocked in the candy buffet table to enjoy it.  It was definitely calorie-overload for most of them.  I wouldn't be surprised if most of them will do some &lt;a href="http://www.bestdietsupplements.org/"&gt;diet supplement reviews&lt;/a&gt; a day after, lol!

We wanted of course convenience.  Also, we wanted to build a bigger floor area.  I guess after staying in our place after more than two years, we realized we have accumulated a number of stuff already.  We now lack a space for storage so next time, I want to make sure to have a big storage room. Also, if we get blessed, I really want a pool this time.  I hope all our dreams will come true.

I think I might need to consider &lt;a href="http://www.checkcity.com/cash-advances.aspx"&gt;cash advances&lt;/a&gt; so I can afford one.  Not sure why, but I have certain fascination recently with shoulder bags.  I love the comfort of just keeping my hands free especially if I'm with my kids in the mall but still look fashionable chic with a nice designer bag.  It's also a perfect mate for travels so I won't have second thoughts in getting one like those of Katie.  Problem now is that I do not have a moolah for such luxury!  I promised the husband, I will be on purse ban this year!

That is one of the reasons why we hosted a number of reunions this year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2411501519715565752-5983903017801483156?l=www.experienceurbane.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/feeds/5983903017801483156/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2411501519715565752&amp;postID=5983903017801483156' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/5983903017801483156'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/5983903017801483156'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/2011/01/reunions.html' title='Reunions...'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02857036802872778086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411501519715565752.post-6677169254083803834</id><published>2010-12-28T20:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-03T20:51:27.821-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Travel'/><title type='text'>Roadtrip...</title><content type='html'>Yey, excited for a holiday road trip with the family.

And I also thought my santa mommy forgot about me.  But not indeed as I actually got one of the items in my wish list.  I am super happy actually that she chose to get my 3rd wish.  I wonder if my santa mommy is actually suspecting me to have a Lymphedema as I have been requesting for some compression garments.  The swelling on some parts of my body is brought about by mere excess fats and not at all about excess fluids, in which I might need some &lt;a href="http://www.lymphedemaproducts.com/products/compressiongarments.html"&gt;compression stockings&lt;/a&gt; already.  Thankfully not.  I truly like the gift I received this year.

In fact, I even learned some thieves actually employ electronic pickpocketing and scan your credit card numbers and other info without touching you! Scary huh.

I caught the husband checking out one booth that sells those &lt;a href="http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/covert-hidden-spy-cameras.html"&gt;hidden spy cameras&lt;/a&gt;.  At first, I am not in favor of getting it since I do not see the need for it.  Until a friend emailed me about her dilemma with her household help who is actually been observed to be doing some nasty stuff inside their house. It got me thinking, we might as well get that too since we practically leave the kids sometimes with our helper.  Not that we don't trust her but we just want to ensure safety of our kids.  I hope the store would open again on weekend. Our uncle who is into house construction business is also interested with their &lt;a href="http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/lead-testing.html"&gt;lead test kit&lt;/a&gt;.  He said it's a perfect kit for him since it is ready-to-use, self-contained test swabs that can easily detect even .5% lead content only.   I would check the clubhouse administration if they are joining the weekend market next week so we could push through in getting those products already.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2411501519715565752-8115310090018093343?l=www.experienceurbane.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/feeds/8115310090018093343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2411501519715565752&amp;postID=8115310090018093343' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/8115310090018093343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/8115310090018093343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/2010/11/great-finds-in-weekend-market.html' title='Great finds in the weekend market.'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02857036802872778086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411501519715565752.post-6169415903866843605</id><published>2010-11-10T20:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-11T20:37:09.768-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Celebrations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Holidays'/><title type='text'>Christmas Parties...</title><content type='html'>Today, I received about 3 &lt;a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/"&gt;save the date cards&lt;/a&gt; for some upcoming christmas parties.

Yes, she is celebrating her birthday today.  She has grown so much and I cannot control the hands of time.  I can still recall how delicate she was when I gave birth to her.  On her 1st year, we are battling with her atopic dermatitis.  Her pediatrician referred us to an allergologist and to a dermatologist.

I wouldn't like to think though that this is a severe acne and that I may already need &lt;a href="http://www.acneadulttreatment.net/"&gt;adult acne treatments&lt;/a&gt;.  I still hope not! They say that as we age, our skin stops producing collagen making it more sensitive and losing its elasticity. So choosing any skin products to our skin should be something that doesn't offer harsh ingredients.

It was actually what I am looking for.  What's more, I am simply amazed that they are actually offering the lowest rates for prescription glasses.  In their site, you will see this: &lt;a href="http://www.zennioptical.com/#/?price[from]=6&amp;amp;price[to]=7"&gt;ZenniOptical $6.95 Rx Glasses&lt;/a&gt;.  Amazing isn't?  Check them out too.

What are the&lt;a href="http://dietpillsthatactuallywork.net/"&gt;diet pills that work&lt;/a&gt;?  My girlfriends were all suggesting different names I actually got confuse! Lol.  Of course there has been some discussion about the ingredients or composition of the pill, its effectivity and safety, and even consumer reviews.  There were two brands that actually stand out.  I have not try any of those but I am not at all considering yet.  I hope my problem on weight loss can still be managed with just a regular diet.  As much as possible, I want to lose those extra pounds the natural way.  I think I just have to be patient.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2411501519715565752-502989546387359435?l=www.experienceurbane.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/feeds/502989546387359435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2411501519715565752&amp;postID=502989546387359435' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/502989546387359435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/502989546387359435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/2010/10/magic-question.html' title='Magic Question'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02857036802872778086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411501519715565752.post-4407702683582197479</id><published>2010-10-26T10:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-28T19:32:30.406-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Interesting Stuff'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fashion'/><title type='text'>It's all in the scrubs...</title><content type='html'>I had a meeting with a client today who one of the best health care provider.  They have tasked our team to create and launch a corporate image of their company.  One of the aspects which they would like us to improve on would be the total look of their &lt;a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/scrubs/women%27s-scrubs/Original-scrubs/"&gt;nursing scrub uniforms&lt;/a&gt;.  In order for us to give qualified study of their total look, we have asked the client for their substantial expectations.  We have elaborated on what they need and we have decided to present to them &lt;a href=" http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Women%27s-Scrubs/Custom-Scrubs/"&gt;custom made scrubs&lt;/a&gt;.  I have asked my staff to research on great uniform choice for nurses and I was happy with what we found from Blue Sky Scrubs.  The scrub tops, bottoms and even those in sets are fashionable chic.  One of the requirements of our client is to have a scrub uniform for their nurses that are tapered at the waist and can flatter every figure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/scrubs/women%27s-scrubs/Original-scrubs/"&gt;uniform for nurses&lt;/a&gt; that we found from Blue Sky Scrubs are indeed wonderful sets.  We are collating our pegs so we can show to our client on the next meeting.  We would recommend that each unit would be required to carry a certain color to create differentiation among others.  We wanted to create a totally new look on their center.  The patients would look at these health care professionals with fondness when they see how brightly they inspire the people they treat because of the certain glow they exudes from their clothing.  In truth, they also feel good about wearing their uniforms.  Patients won't actually look at them in their regular dull white square uniform anymore.  I hope our client would like our recommendation.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2411501519715565752-4407702683582197479?l=www.experienceurbane.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/feeds/4407702683582197479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2411501519715565752&amp;postID=4407702683582197479' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/4407702683582197479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2411501519715565752/posts/default/4407702683582197479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.experienceurbane.com/2010/10/its-all-about-scrubs.html' title='It&apos;s all in the scrubs...'/><author><name>Amanda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02857036802872778086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
