trip planner

I've been browsing through the net and reading more and more travel tips. I just came across a social trip planner for the USA and Canada where you can browse through real trips taken by real people, with complete details: from airfare, hotel accommodations, tourist spots to visits, and costs. It even shows a trip map and photos of the different places! These information are definitely very helpful and serve as a great basis for planning your own trip. All you have to do is just customize it according to your preference. It's such a cool site and makes planning a trip such a breeze.

Iolo

My PC's running a bit slow lately. I just might need to get a PC health check to see if there are any problems. You can actually access Iolo to do this. They can also recommend fixes. They have technical support who can help you with programs and drivers. Usually I have my brother do this for me and deal with any of my PC problems but of course I can't disturb him anytime I want to so it's good to have other options and do things on my own at times. It's great to learn new stuff in the process.

don't drink and drive

Caught drinking and driving? Whatcha gonna do when you get caught with this offense? It surely is handy to have a ready defense to get your way out of that messy situation. I found out I can actually use my Gastro Esophageal Reflux as a great excuse to not be a proper subject for breath testing if I'm in california. Well, you're lucky if you know of a good attorney like this California DUI Lawyer who has won a lot of cases over the years already!

tv show

This show I'm watching may be targeted to kids, but even adults are sure to enjoy their spoofs, sarcastic, witty humor and crazy antics. You can watch this show and you'll find yourself having a good laugh in no time, thus reverting your mind from all the pressure at work. It somehow releases the kid in us. It's actually in the line of shows like south park. It's comedy done in a clean way.

printing

Do you need to print some marketing prints for your business? It might be more efficient to get web-to-print services. You might want to try eon code. It's a streamlines printing solution that can help you out with your printing needs. Outsourcing this process can help you out in slashing overhead cost. You may visit their site to get to know more about their business and how they can help you out with your needs. They just might be the one you're looking for in terms of web-to-print software.

shop online

I’ve been surfing for models of cameras. I’m assessing where it’s going to be cheaper to buy. A virtual shopping cart really helps one to shop online. You can compare prices and it’s easier to keep track of your purchases. The unit price is actually around 20% cheaper if I buy abroad. I’m just a bit apprehensive of shipping of high value. I guess I’d have to wait for a friend who’s going to the US or Japan and just let me buy there for me.

be safe

I'm thinking of getting one of those pepper spray keychains for women at safetygirl.com. I have been hearing and reading about different crimes everyday and I think it would be wise to always arm yourself with something that can protect you somehow. It would be great to learn self defense as well. One really has to be alert these days. You'll never know, you may be one of the next victim that those bad guys are targeting. Let's all keep safe!

laing

I just want to share one of the things I've been raving about and have been quite a regular in our grocery list already: laing Yep, you can now conveniently enjoy your Laing straight from the can. It tastes so delicious you wouldn't even guess that it was ready made. You can even choose from the traditional one and the spicy one. I wonder how they make it. The label says it doesn't have any preservatives and has no MSG which is really a plus point for those who are health conscious. Anyway, I suggest you try it out. It's already available in supermarkets.

addiction

It's unfortunate when one of your loved ones fall into the trap of taking drugs. It can be painful to see them go to a rehab for marijuana but sometimes you just have to endure the pain since you know it's for the best. You just have to sacrifice and know that they will be the best people to help get rid of their addiction. The patient may get angry and not understand but in time he will and would thank you for supporting him.

extra money

I know all of us somehow want to get extra money so that we can buy the things that we want and be able to travel to places that we’ve always wanted to go to. If your monthly salary is not enough to support all these, an extra job would be very helpful. With the emergence of paid to blog opportunities which you can grab, those extra money would surely be yours in no time. You’d really need a lot of patience and hard work for your blog to earn some money. It really is not a very easy feat.

promise ring

I'm happy for my cousin who recently was answered by her girlfriend. Oh to be young! I just hope their relationship won't interfere with their studies. I saw that they have those couples promise rings. It's really sweet. I hope their relationship last until they finally tie the knot when they're both emotionally and financially ready. I know that they're not in a hurry to get married since they're still in college. They still have lots of dreams to achieve before going into that chapter of their life.

instant sauce

I saw that there are a lot of instant pasta sauce from Mc Cormick available at the grocery. I decided to try out the Pesto sauce and the Creamy Garlic sauce. They're really easy to prepare. For the pesto sauce, you just add up a little bit of oil (EVOO would be great) and heat it up a little (do not bring to a boil as instructed!). Voila! Instant pesto! For the Creamy Garlic, you just dissolve the powder into a cup of fresh milk, bring it to a boil and simmer for a minute. I saw that we have some shrimps so I decided to add some together with some basil leaves. The taste is ok. Nothing grand about it. Of course I'd still think my own recipe tastes a lot better than it. Hehe! But this is nice to use whenever you have an instant craving for pasta but is not in the mood to spend a lot of time preparing for it. A packet would be good for 200g of noodles.

vacation

I think everybody has dreamed of having that much needed break when one can just relax and rest in one of those houses by the beach. Well, this dream can easily turn into reality, specially with the great condo rental rate kauai has to offer. Wouldn't it be nice to spoil ourselves once in awhile? With all hustle bustle in the city life, everybody deserves this kind of treat of enjoying the lovely beaches of kauai!

scrapbooking

I've been into scrapbooking lately. I haven't really made that much layouts yet since I've been spending my time more on buying patterned papers and embellishments first as well as printing pictures I wanna scrap. I want my stuff complete first before I really face the battle. Hehehe! I love that scrappinmoms has summarized some online contests that scrapbookers can join. They don't usually give cash prizes but they usually give out gift certificates that you can use to order from their online store! That's good enough to excite me and encourage me to join!

dog safety

I would love to have our own dog. I grew up with lots of dogs and now that I'm married I would love to have our own. I know there are a lot of responsibilities that go with having a dog. We might even have to get a sport dog fence to make sure to keep him safe at home. We wouldn't want him running outside and get lost in the neighborhood. I wonder what kind of dog we can get. I hope Dagny also grows up loving dogs.

need to chill

Summer time is here again! It's sooo freakin hot!!! One of my guilty pleasures during this time of the year is Chowking's halo-halo! Mmmmm… Maybe we'll order one later. 2 scoops of ice cream to go with it would really be awesome Almost everybody eating at the store was ordering halo-halo! I can't blame them. I also miss Digman's …san pa ba may outlet nun? I love Razon's too!

going outdoor

We're using a yoga mat as my baby's play mat. I hope I can score one of those yoga mat bags so we can bring along our mat to a picnic. It would be nice for my baby to experience playing outdoors and get more sunshine. The fresh air would certainly be good for her. I'm looking forward to experiencing different moments with my baby. Everyday is such a blessing being able to spend time with her and getting to know her personality more.

cafe

We tried out this new cafe. Their cheesecake tasted alright…not too thick and overpowering. But then again my tastebuds are still craving for some Uno cheesecake! *sigh* I'm quite fond of Lemon Squares but this one is a bit too lemon-y for me. I remember making one of these which turned out to be a disaster. I mistook the confectioner's sugar as flour! No wonder it didn't really quite hold up after baking. Oh well. I hope I could perfect this recipe as well. The store has their share of other cakes and pastries just like any other coffeeshop. Too bad it was so hot that day and we didn't feel like trying out their coffee.

moving

As they say, nothing is constant here in the world but change (and probably the value of pi). Change is good and shouldn’t really be feared. Changing jobs or careers can sometimes be healthy, if it means you’ll be getting better pay, better benefits, and if it’s something that’s going to make you happier. Moving may be a little hard. It’s never easy leaving something you’ve gone used to. It can also be a little hassle physically moving your stuff and would probably need the help of Moving Companies. Starting all over may not be easy but if it’s all for the best, you’d be grateful for embracing change.

library

Children nowadays are very lucky to have the internet as a tool for studying. Bake in my schooling days we would have to spend a lot of time in the library researching and studying. Kids now have everything within reach. In just a few clicks they can have almost all information that they need. Just type in keywords of what you need to search for in just seconds resource materials are lined up for you. Cool, huh? Unlike years ago when you have to ask for a librarian to get a book that you need. Now, there’s no more need for dusty books to borrow and browse through.

online

Are you looking for brochure printing online? For sure you will find a lot. It's so efficient nowadays when you can easily search almost anything online. Most businesses have websites you can easily access to get to know the services that they offer. You can easily contact them online and inquire about their services. So if you need anything just search online and for sure you'll be able to get see what you're looking for. And if you have any business, it would really help if you have your own website to promote your business

massage

I would often request a massage from my sweetie since my back usually aches. Well, unfortunately, he does not know how to give good massages. It’s either I get too ticklish with his soft touches or hurt with his strong strokes, or just plain frustrated since he can’t seem to not hit the right spots in the right way. I’ve been telling him to do some research for online massage tutorials so I would not need to pay massage therapists just to soothe my aching back. Hopefully he’ll soon improve his massaging skills.

baptism

We're starting to plan for our baby's baptism. It would just be a simple one with family and friends. We have several options in mind for the reception but we still can't decide where. We still need buy a baptism dress for our baby. We haven't even asked potential godparents if they would be willing to be a godparent to our child. We still have to decide what tokens to give them but I saw some pandora charms which I'm considering to buy. Well, there's still a lot to be done but I'm not yet worrying since we still got a lot of time.

try your luck

Have you tried playing in a casino? I have actually, just for the heck of it. It’s one of the things crossed out in the things that I want to do before I die. I gave myself a limit of the money I’m will to lose. It was as if I was admitting to myself that I would lose. Well, I did win some but, the net worth is still a loss. I really don’t have any intention of going back since I might develop it into a habit and might end up losing much more money.

cleaning time

We're trying to make some room for some new baby stuff. Our home has just too many stuff we don't use and need anymore. Maybe we can donate our used college books or probably hold a garage sale along with other stuff we can let go of. At least in that way we can also earn extra money. It can be a bit tedious going through our stuff but we really need to or else we might just turn into pack rats. We aim to have a cleaner and spacier house.
