in need of glasses

My doctor said that I better start wearing eye glasses when it can still be corrected. Actually, when he checked it, my left eye seems to be more blurry than the right. I actually got myself a pair of glasses already but I just can’t seem to get into the habit of wearing it. Well, I just really hope that my eye condition doesn’t get worse. I don’t want to end up needing to get a Lasik surgery. Well, at least the technology is there so I don’t really need to worry much about it, just in case.

cat stuff

We have three cats in the house. Whenever the dogs and cats are at each other’s throats, they would usually run around the house and toppling things down. I guess it would be better that the cats have their own place to stay. I saw some picture of cat condo and types of furniture where the cats can stay and sleep. I’m sure devoting a place just for the cats would lessen the probability of vases toppling down.

more training

I just got back from Nueva Ecija where I trained 10 teachers for TechFactors. I taught them the suggested curriculum for computer for grades 1-6 as well as for high school (1st to 3rd). I wasn't able to include Java anymore since that would take another 5 days.

It was a pretty long trip going there, buti na lang hinatid ako. I stayed at San Jose, Nueva Ecija from monday-thursday. I checked in at Hotel Tierra where I was able to taste Tapang Usa and Tapang Baboy Damo! The place isn't much but atleast it was decently clean. They also have a veranda which has a nice view of the mountains.

Tapang Baboy Damo with Egg and Sinangag - Php95.00

There weren't too many places to go to there, but their Cathedral looks really magnificent, it's one of the oldest in our country.

It was a pretty tiring since I was training from 8 am til 5 pm. Anyways, I'm glad it's over. Hopefully they learned a lot and get to apply those learnings. Next week, I'll be off to Pampanga for more training.

Orlando vacations

Every kid’s dream is to be able to go to Disneyland. The time spent with kids having a fun afternoon with Mickey and the gang is truly priceless for your little ones. Orlando, Florida is a fine place for a having fun-filled holiday with your family. In Orlando, you can park-hop from Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island to Disney's Wide World of Sports® Complex. 1. Orlando vacations can be easily booked online and are very much hassle-free. It’s never been better to be a kid than now.

dehumidifiers

The rainy season has once again arrived and most houses will inevitably have that cold and wet feeling inside their homes. This is especially true for homes or establishments that have been unluckily flooded because of the continuous rains. Ebac dehumidifiers are a great way to remove moisture in a specific area. Some units are available for areas that cover ten thousand square feet. These units are of the industrial type and will work doubly hard for conditions wherein serious need for dehumidifying is considered necessary.

old house

I just realized how long I haven’t visited our grandparents’ house. We used to live there til, I think, I was around 4 years old. I wonder how it looks like already. Since we already have our own house and my grandparents died already a couple years back, we barely get to visit the house already. We still have other relatives living there. I just hope that they are taking good care of the place. I loved our patio where we usually hang out in the afternoon. Maybe it would be nice to have a new patio furniture so it would have a new look. Maybe one of these days we can drop by and see if the house is well maintained.

comforters

Nothing is better than snuggling up in your favorite down comforter when you're ready for bed. Top quality down will surround you with greater insulation than anything else.

We offer excellence in comfort and design with down comforters from trusted name brands. You will be absolutely delighted with our selection of high quality Pacific Coast®, Daniadown®, and Williams Loft™ down products.

At this point in my life, there is nothing more pleasurable and sweeter than giving it all at your work and sleeping at a nice and comfortable bed. Down comforters especially make my rest periods a thing of satisfaction. I deserve to get pampered by only the best brands. If you’re someone who likes to play hard and work hard, you’ll certainly need good down comforters to sleep hard.

new watch

I used to have lots of watches. My dad would often give me one whenever he comes home from abroad. I remember having those watches with nice straps. They really look nice. Anyways, it’s been such a long time since I last wore a watch. I feel like wearing one again. I was browsing at some sites for watches like glashutte watches and Hublot. There are a lot of nice designs that I really liked which made me want to have a new watch even more. Maybe I can buy myself a new one or probably just wait for someone to gift me a new watch! Hint! Hint! Hahaha!

Of course a Rolex or a Bulgari can be too expensive. I’m not that ambitious and I find it too much to be gifted with such things. And besides, I’m not really into branded things. I mean, I would not really prefer something over another based purely on its brand. Of course there’s design, color, and quality that I would probably consider when choosing a watch. I’m really a practical person. Hehe! Anyway, maybe having two watches wouldn’t hurt. One would be for everyday use when I go out and one would be something fancier for formal affairs.

pending books

I still got several pending books that I plan to read. Hopefully I get to finish Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged pretty soon. I still have a couple of books borrowed from a friend which I haven’t even touched yet. Oh well. I wonder when I would get to finish all of them. Anyway, I’m thinking of buying a photography book – probably Understanding Exposure.

falling slowly

I am so addicted to the song falling slowly lately. It’s from the Irish movie, “Once”. It actually won Best song in the Oscar’s. I just love its melody, just like a lullabye. I feel a bit melancholic listening to it. Besides the song, I loved the movie as well. It was a great music trip. Others may probably don’t like the ending, but it was as real as it gets for me. I wouldn’t want any other ending than that.

Take this sinking boat and point it home, we’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have the choice
You make it now.

say no to drugs!

We have heard a lot of times about some celebrity getting brought to a drug rehab due to their addiction. Well, I’ve browsed sites of these rehab centers and I must say, they have the finest facilities. It’s not so bad at all to spend a few days in a place like that! Anyway, I was curious what they actually do with you when you are checked in. Well, like for a drug rehab in Malibu, they don’t actually have a standard drug rehab program since they customize it depending on the patient. I think it’s better this way since what may work for some may not work for others.

flowers on mother's day

My sweetie’s family has become close to my heart already. They’re like my real family already. Even his aunts and uncles treat me like family as well and would usually invite me to special family occasions. I’m not yet sure though what their plans for the coming Mother’s day would be but I’m already planning to give my sweetie’s mom and grandmother each a bouquet of flowers. I know they liked what I gave for Valentine’s! I wonder what kind of flowers I will give this time. The last time I picked a bouquet of flowers, it took me a long time to finally pick which to buy! I better have an idea already the next time I go to the flower shop!

no need to explain

I am thinking about my decisions in life and the kind of career path that I am taking. It looks like it’s the road less traveled one is the path for me. I am just really having a hard time explaining to people what I want to do with my life. Others feel that I am wasting my life since I got really good education and I am not putting it into use. Oh well. It’s just really great that my sweetie understands me and supports me all the way. I think my family understands also. I guess my peers are the ones who don’t. It’s like they expect a lot from me. Anyway, I don’t want to trouble myself about this anymore. As my sweetie said, I do not need to explain myself to anybody. Those who love me don’t need any explanation, that they would just respect my decisions in life and support me all the way.

foreclosure help

I have heard a lot of stories of those having problems with their mortgages. It looks like a lot of people are having a hard time paying up and have received a couple of letters from their mortgage company and are in danger of losing their homes already. I know it sucks to be in a situation like that. Fortunately, there are companies who offer foreclosure help. I’m sure you would appreciate any help that can save your home, right?

vacation

Have you been to Riviera Maya? I have read a lot of great reviews about it. A number have been raving about their white sand secluded beaches! There are numerous accommodations you can choose from just like Azul Beach Hotel, Azul Blue Hotel + Spa, El Dorado Seaside Suites, and El Dorado Royale Resort. Besides enjoying the nice ambiance of the place, I’m sure you would love the gastronomically pleasing food that they are offering as well. With great services as well, I’m sure you’d have a really nice memorable vacation here. You might even end up craving to stay there when your vacation is about to end rather than go back to your usual normal life.

debut cake

We have also discussed what my cousin’s cake would look like for her debut. Well, she’s dead set on having mini cakes and serving it up to the guests to serve as souvenir as well. She really like the idea when she saw how one of the weddings I was handling used up this kind of concept. Anyway, we’re still in the process of sourcing up a supplier which can deliver delicious mini cakes at a cheaper price than other main stream suppliers.

debut invitation

We already have an idea what her invitation would look like. We plan to D-I-Y it instead. We’ve already made a mock up of the envelope which actually looks like a peach mango pie container. We’ve bought a couple of materials for it already which would match her color motif (baby blue and apple green). Anyway, I hope it turns out to be pretty looking.

more flowers

I accompanied last weekend friends of my sweetie who are getting married pretty soon to a local florist. They wanted to get an idea how much it would cost them for the flowers of their entourage. There are a lot of places who sell flowers like wholesale roses which you can buy pretty cheap. Wholesale doesn’t necessarily mean they’re inferior. They’re can also be of good quality. These are just cheaper to buy for weddings and other events where you need some floral decorations. Buying in bulk, in general, is really the cheaper way to go. Anyway, my friends seemed to like the flowers they are offering and ended up paying down payment already.

more memory

I have been downloading a lot of movies and mp3’s lately. It looks like my laptop memory is suffering since my laptop seems a bit slow lately. It looks like I need to either burn my files on DVD’s and delete them from my laptop or just upgrade my laptop’s memory. I love using a fast laptop since I usually do some multitasking. You would often see my laptop with lots of files opened up and a lot of stuff downloading in queue. Oh well. I guess upgrading my laptop’s memory is the best solution if I want my laptop to work as efficient as I want it to be.

cousin's debut

I’m helping out a cousin plan out her debut party. Since it’s her summer vacation we’re pretty much taking advantage of it. We’ve made ocular inspections on probable venues for her special day and have finalized it already. She’ll be having it at Windmills and Rainforest. It’s a nice place and offers a reasonable price. We’ve even had our food tasting already with their in-house caterer. The food was pretty good actually. We’ll just have to come up with other ideas to decorate the place.

browsing

I can use up a lot of time just browsing www.foodconnect.com since it really is very informative. It makes me want to try out a lot of recipes and other cooking techniques. I also like how they feature sample meal plans which even include easy to print shopping list. They also feature some great party ideas.

kava

I have just recently come across konakavafarm.com which features the kava plant which has a lot of benefits such as helping cure insomnia, act as stress reliever, and can be a natural alternative to Valium and Prozac. There are a lot more benefits and you can read them at their website. They make use of the roots only from the kava plants which are planted in the Kona’s Haulalai Mountain. These extracts are considered as herbal supplements which are proven to be safe. They certify that they do not make use of the stems or leaves since those can potentially damage your liver.

foodie sharing

You might want to check out food connect where you can share recipes with your friends, have your recipes analyzed for their nutritional information and discuss ideas and techniques with other foodies. www.foodconnect.com is really an ultimate tool for foodies. I really suggest that you check it out. It can be a haven for you if you are into food just like I am. I am sure you will have fun checking out this site.

foodie

I consider myself such a foodie. Yes, I really do love eating, which is probably one of the biggest reasons I just cannot make myself lose weight. I can be an emotional eater at times, which is really bad since it makes me binge. Anyway, are you one of those who are so much into food? Food can really be one’s passion. Some love cooking, others baking, while some just really love to eat.

investments

I’m just a bit disappointed of myself that until now I haven’t really actively invested my money. Well, it’s not as if that I have a lot, but I just don’t want my money sleeping at a bank. I have been reading a lot about my options and reassessing them. I have been looking at some mutual funds that I can invest on and have even talked to some agents. The market is a bit down, making it a great time to buy. But then again, it’s really risk since you can’t really tell what would happen to the market. I guess I’m still in the look-out for a more stably earning investment. Probably I’ll look more into investing into precious metals like gold and silver. I’ve been reading more about the Monex Deposit Company which deals with this kind of investment. They also have asset professionals available to help you out. Oh well. I think I would need to have a bigger capital if I would go into this.

investing

I have inquired lately regarding some mutual funds. Well, it seems like it’s the best time to buy since it’s at a low right now. Although of course it cannot promise you anything. You can still end up losing. There really is no guarantee. I would really want to put my money somewhere else besides the bank. I envy a friend who was able to successfully go into options trading. I visited the site she referred to and read more about Transworld Futures. Well, I guess if one is lazy to read about all those stuff from the website, one can talk to a futures broker who can explain the details of futures and options trading. Anyway, I really hope I do get to pick a wisely where I would invest.
