2 months

That' s how long I am staying here in Manila and i can say its been a crazy, fun time for me. A lot happened already with the 2 months and i've been to many places too. Just recently , I fixed some important papers for my citizenship , and i never thought that it would be that easy. I plan to try out some careers here and hopefully I will be lucky by 2010. My plans are not definite yet, but at least I have my plans.

Everyone is busy in my part of the world. Its Christmas day in 4 days !! Time surely flies when you are having fun! Have a Blessed Season everyone! Enjoy it with your loved ones!

badly needed

I am here in Manila for almost 2 months now, and I cant believe how much weight I gained. There's no need for a weighing scale, the fact that some of my pants won't fit me anymore says it all. With the Holiday Season coming, i am sure that a few pounds would still be added to my current weight. So now, I would really like to try those fat burners in the market. If I would start now, it is so timely that by Christmas time I lost weight already . So the food that I will eat then is just good to replace what i lost.

Why is it so hard to resist food nowadays?My sister and I are eating like there's no tomorrow. Add the cold weather at night that makes us carve for coffee and sweets! I should seriously start with my exercise routine every morning. Wish me luck!

At the Mall of Asia


Christmas is truly in the air. This was shot in one of the top malls in Manila and i love the concept of it . This reminded me that I should start shopping for Christmas gifts already. I have a few in my list and i still have a long way to go. Just the kids alone in our family, that can take up my entire day. I might end up shopping online huh, i also need to get my uncle an e cigarette . Do you know where I can get the best and cheap ones? I have been tremendously busy for a month, catching up with a lot of things. Hopefully I can go full blast in shopping by next week. Its December already and yes I cant wait for Christmas.

good food. great company.




I had a simple yet very memorable birthday celebration with my family last Nov. 18. we headed to Mall of Asia for dinner. My mom requested for American food and since we just had TGIF two weeks ago, we chose Burgoo. The food didnt disappoint us, though we noticed that the Teriyaki pasta is a bit salty. After the dinner, we walked around the mall for some picture taking because it is well decorated with Christmas stuff. we ran out of time so I wasnt able to buy some acne treatment products for myself. My skin is acting weird lately huh. I guess ever since I started with my 3 jobs, my skin was all stresses out.

Anyway, we have lots of dinners lately and I will soon be posting them here.

What do you think?


Here's my latest pic from our vacation last week. You think I'll be needing those diet pills ? Eversince I arrived here in Manila, I am eating non stop , I always need to have midnight snacks . When I was trying out my swimsuit last week, lo and behold , it doesn't fit me at all. Maybe my first step is to cut down my food intake and have some exercise. I bought a lot of clothes from last month and I dont think i can fit on those. I better start now before I get heavier each day. Its a good thin we dont have a weighing sale here, I am not interested to know how much i gained. Not at all.

Slingbox for dad

I miss winter time. In my part of the world now, its a bit humid the entire day . But when the weather is weird for that day , it starts to rain in the afternoon. I don't wonder why kids and even adults gets colds at most times.

Anyway, weather cant stop me from shopping. I got dad his Slingbox already. I was supposed to get one during the Thanksgiving sale but i cant wait for it since the stocks are really running low. Speaking about sales , i am sad that I will miss the thanksgiving sale this year. I might just shop online for a few things for myself and my nephew.

I miss filipino food that i am not amused to find out that I am gaining weight. Our weekend is packed with activities , a baptismal on Saturday and my niece's 1st birthday party on Sunday. Today is a free day for me , so i am reading about Pittsburgh Job Search. I have been delaying this because i dont have time , luckily now is the right tiime as I viewed a lot of job availabilities for me. Well, i really dont want to think more of jobs now, i am still enjoying my vacation here. But for sure , this will be very useful to me next year , when i go back there.

RL for me




Last minute shopping for me. I need new tops for my trip in Taiwan, and I tried looking at other sites, but I still landed at my favorite brand ,RL. I got a few items on sale a few tops and a nice flip flops. Actually, I was a bit hesistant to order online now because I feel like I gained weight again ( you think i would need the best appetite suppressant soon?) . But anyway, just in case these tops won't fit me, I will just give it to my sisters as Christmas gifts, hahaha. Too early, i know!
Anyway, i need to look for swimsuit at this time of the year. We are hitting the beach next month in time for my birthday , and sadly I dont have any nice swimsuits now. I hope I can grab some nice stuff ha, and maybe a cover up too. I need that.

Tomorrow, I have a lot of last minute thing to do like buying furnace filters for my dad, last minute packing and getting my hair done. I will be leaving late in the afternoon so i have a lot of time in the morning. I may be leaving this blog for a while as I enjoy my vacation.

Have a great weekend everyone.

E- cigarettes

Smoking is dangerous to ones health. We always see that being advertised at the TV and yet many continue to be addicted with smoking. The sad part is, some are still young and they are already using it. I know some friends who started at high school, and some during college. I heard that some of them already have health problems this early in life so they stopped smoking cigarettes . But some just cut low on their daily number of sticks. And i know some tried out the e cigarettes. It is the latest in technology when it comes to smoking. This is dubbed at the smokers smart choice. These E cigarettes can still give you the satisfaction of tobacco without its worse effects. It is odorless and smokeless so there is a less risk that others might inhale it too. Just in case you are wondering how it works, the unit is battery operated . So yeah, they have the e cigarette chargers too. I bet my friend who uses this has a charger even at his car . I have yet to research more about it because I only know a few. One of the best things that I like from this product is that it doesn't call for a fire . It is smokeless so there is no fear of a second hand smoke too. It is economical because there is even some e cig refills. I think this should be introduced more to the market by next year.

Do you know more about this? Maybe some of us heard about it already through our friends.

white choco !

UGG for me!


I just love this season! I finally get to experience the cold weather again. It was so humid last month in out part and I really feel exhausted after a day's work. My mom just kept all of our simmer clothes and she washed our winter clothes already . I am actually wearing a light jacket now in my room , i grabbed it as soon as I woke up. Clothes is actually not a problem for me during winter. My concern is boots. I wanted to get an UGG boots for the longest time. Armed with an extra money from my job, I am now looking for the best design for me. The classic cardy black of the cardy collection is perfect even for my work. The color can suit any of my clothes actually. But I also saw the classic cardy oatmeal , but i think it is hard for me to maintain with that color. You see , i work at the Arena and I am usually on the go. Im fraid that it might bet dirty in a short time. My other choice is the classic cardy grey . Just like black , the color is perfect . Now I am so torn between black and gray .

There's no other brand for me , only UGG . Just in case you are wondering , it is an Australian brand of high quality boots that is perfect for winter time. You will see a lot of people wearing it because it has proven its performance over the test of time. I am so excited to get my first pair.

Filipino foods soon!!!



5 days to go!!! I can't wait to eat my all time favorite sisig ! Every year , on my first day at Manila , I eat sisig for dinner . This time i wonder where will we eat. Any suggestions?

The pics above are adobo flakes and chicharon, my faves too!!

Tv babe


My sister bought one for our living room last year and I am thinking of getting one for my room. I love watching tv shoes and dvd's of my favorite movies , and I know i will truly enjoy watching it with this big screen. Anyone recommendations on a good brand and would you know if there is a big sale? I also want to check some tv stands at the mall, I am a bit afraid to mount this at the wall , a nice stand would defintely be great for me. I want it slim too and in black. I wish to get this before Chirstmas , its my gift for myself.

I saw this at my sister's site and I cant wait to eat Crispy pata again! I will be home in a few days and I am so excited to see everyone there in Manila.

Causeway clothes











My sister introduced me to this site and I liked most of its items. Its cheap as compared to some of my favorite clothing stores here, so I hoarded a few clothes for my various trips in Manila and Taiwan. I guess I would start taking a fat burner because the models here are so skinny, I envy them . I am on the heavy side lately and I seriously cant stay at my planned diet. Wish me luck , and tell me, these are nice ones , right? I still have a few on my list but i need to check out my budget first. May these clothes inspire me to loose weight soon.

The sexiest


I am not sure if it is just the picture , or it is true that my niece has a better body built now. She used to have all thse extra fats in her body , but i guess eversince she became active, she grew taller and started to look slimmer. Her belly fat was gone i think. Or could this picture be deceiving? I haven't seen her in person yet and my sister would just send me her adorable pictures. I just wish she will not grow really fat so she will fit in those cute clothes in the future and of course for health purposes as well.

Cars !!

I just cant wait to see my nephew. Gosh, he talks nonstop whenever we chat over at YM. He's been telling me a lot of things especially about the shows that he likes to watch like Disney Cars. He asked me to get him 7 of his favorite characters , and I cant do anything but go to the toy store and get it from him. Yeah., he is the only boy in our family, and most of the time , he gets what he wants. As long as he is not asking for Ferrari parts , I can definitely get him anything for his cars. Hahaha . I cant wait for October! 4 more weeks!

Gold and Diamond

My mom told me that if there's one thing that I should buy often if i have the money, then that would definitely be jewelries. I admit i am not really into it because I prefer accessories for my outfits. But my mom told me that jewelries has a high value at the market as long as you have nice pieces so in times when you will need money, you definitely have something to sell in case of emergency. Gold jewelry is of course one of the in demand ones. They never fade in time. Its value would usually depend on its weight, and the jewelries value depends on craftmanship. I really have a few gold pieces , i can count them with my one hand i think. But i can always buy gold arizona you know. I wish i have shopping money now.

Whats more after gold are diamonds. I only have a tiny piece a t a beautiful necllace that my parents gave me during my birthday. I know some who are seling even loose diamonds then the buyer would just use it in the jewelry that they want. I bet there is a big amount of money when you sell diamonds arizona. A cousin of mine in Phoenix mentioned it to me too. She has a small buy and sell business there. She also sell gold arizona so i better check that one too. I really need to invest on these pieces before its too late.

Hello Kitty Love !

McDonalds Happy Meal celebrates the 35 years of Hello kitty with fun collectibles. Me and my friends went gga over it, I am eating the Happy meal __ x in a week! All for Hello kitty hahaha






This is for a friend who asked me to buy 10 in one day:) we gave the food to some kids in our street:)
Love Hello Kitty !!!

Energy Supplements for Dad

Last week, we were at the grocery for our scheduled trip to get our necessities. I grabbed my usual stuff and added some that I wanted to try. A lot of new stuff were there, and I can't help myslef from getting especially those chips. After that, we also went to the drugstore and got a few medicines for my mom since she's not feeling well. I love to get those over the counter meds because its my emergency relief. I was browsing through some shelves when I came across Acai Berry Energy Supplements. I have been reading about it online, and i thought of giving it to my dad for his supplement. He will try it this week when he goes to work . I hope it would give him positive results. He loves natural products so Acai Berry is suited for him. Maybe i should give it a try too when I have a schedule at the park.

Accounting Firms

I have been working at the bank for 3 years already , and I can say that it really thought me a lot of things professionally. I graduated with a degree in Accountancy and I was able to apply my knowledge with the bank procedures. Lately I was browsing through some accounting firms in our area because I would like to get a 2nd job. I chanced upon Las Vegas Quickbooks Accounting Firm and there I saw the profile of the company. What attracted me about this company is that they really value not just their clients but their employees. They have a vast experience when it comes to financial accounts in the field of developers, auto dealership, gaming, internet and entertainment. I hope they do accept part time jobs so I can apply for any vacant position.

Cosmetology for me

Yes, I am seriously considering this course. I have been fascinated with make up eversince I can remember and I bought really good brands evesince I earned my own money. Sometimes I buy more than what I'll use then I will give it to my sisters. But lately I realized that I should seriously try it since I have a passion for it. I say some schools like the beauty school indianapolis that i saw online. This is the Regency beauty school that has gotten popular all over USA. It started with a few campuses, and now it is continuously growing across nine states already. I have to make a phone call inquiry to see if they have one near our place. It makes me feel excited knowing that I get to do what I really like.

my first time

I just received an invitation for one of my dear freinds at the office. It's her wedding next month and it will be held at the beach! I feel so excited after receiving it. It would be my first time to be in a beach wedding. Before I would only read about destination weddings at magazines and online, and I cant believe I will soon attend one. Apart from the venue and the over all theme of the wedding , of course, I am so glad that my friend will tie the knot with her long time boyfriend. I am happy for them because I witnessed their relationship. I bet, the beach would be well decorated with an over all romantic feel. This is really what they have been dreaming for a long time. Now , their dream wedding is about to happen and I am glad to be part of it.

Have you been to a wedding of this kind? Oh, I cant help but check their wedding venue online. Thats how excited I am.

Stuff for the house

One by one, things here are shutting down. For whatever reason, most of our electronics here are not functioning well. The washing machine, then the microwave oven. I just wish that it will be back to normal this weeknd when my dad tries to figure out what went wrong. If it can't be repaired, then we need to buy a new one. I better check out its prices when I buy some safety products at the mall on Sunday. I better list down what I need to check so I wont miss out on anything.

HAve a great friday everyone!

new haircut ?

I can't wait for the weekend.

I have a schedule with my hairstylist and I am so excited with the new style that he will have for my hair. You see, i am very particular with my hair and I am willing to pay an extra as long as you can give me what I am asking for LOL. I will post some pics by next week.

Have a great Friday everyone!

Candles in the night

I love candles. Back when I was still in Manila, I remember my sister had a collection of it and there were times during the night that when we want to relax, we would light a few while we listen to some good music over coffee. I missed those moments , so last weekend, I had the chance to see some wrought iron candle sconces , and i immediately grabbed it . I will try it this weekend after a tiring day from work. Oh , i just miss home and i can't wait to be there in October. I will definitely have some more time there to relax.

Monday, August 10, 2009

She is back

My sister that is.

She and her family went on a weekend break in a 5 star resort in the Philippines , and just this morning she showed me some pics already and shared stories too. Her kids had the grandest time too. I was busy reading about some cargo liner that time, but i cant help but look at her pics. I want to see that place too this November maybe. For now I am busy finishing our itinerary for the Taiwan trip. That's the reason why i am reading more about cargo stuff.

Have a great day everyone. will go to work in a few hours!

Dreaming of you



I love these two bags, but if i may choose only one, then I want the blue patent sabrina.

Dillards recently had a BIG sale in their stores and i got myself a swinpack and a convertible tote from Coach. I was actually looking for an XBox for my nephew , as it is my gift for him on October, but instead of getting it there , i got myself 2 gorgeous bags :) now I think it was still a blessing of not getting the Xbox at the mall , because I got it cheaper online.

Oh well , i think this Sabrina needs to wait a while, I better payoff those purchases first before I max out my credit card. Hahaha

The AEG Airsoft Gun



Airsoft AEG Guns


This Airsoft GUn really looks powerful. Even if I am not fully aware of its use and how it perform, just by the look of it, I can somehow tell that it has a lot to offer. But of course, every gun needs to be used responsibly. My dad only uses this for his weekly shooting with his friends here, and he invited me to join the group of ladies who play in our area every Sunday. That I have to think about. Maybe I should first observe the game itself and see if it fits me. My dad said that he really enjoyed every minute of it , and it is always filled with excitement . The thrill of the game sets everyone in the mood. I think I need to be a little more informed with this hobby before I decide to play it. Here's what I founf out online about Airsoft Game. What do you think, should I start looking for my own gun?


Airsoft Gun Rifle, Airsoft Guns and Airsoft Rifles


The responsible use of an airsoft gun rifle doesn't have to be boring. In fact, there are plenty of ways for you to enjoy your purchase without getting into trouble, disturbing the neighbors, or paying for damage to someone else's property. Some of the ideas below may not be conventional but they are effective and can give you a good excuse to bring out your airsoft guns. Just remember that the key word is always responsible.


Competing with Your Airsoft Guns


If you've been stressed enough, you might want to take your guns airsoft skills into competition. At a competition, you'll match your shooting skills against others who also enjoy using these weapons. You don't necessarily need to be the best shooter in order to have a good time either. And if you're not interested in entering the competition yourself why not consider going and watching the other contestants. You might learn a few tricks to improve your own skills, plus many of the competitions feature vendors selling related items that might be of interest to you as well. Competitions can be very enjoyable with or without your trusty airsoft guns.


Getting Stress Free Airsoft Gun Rifle


Who doesn't have a lot of stress in their life? Almost all of us have plenty of things to worry about and deal with every day. In fact, stress is one of the leading causes of illness in the United States because it reduces our immune response and can increase our risk of heart disease. Having an effective way to eliminate that stress can be very important. Some people have found ways, such as yoga or meditation, that work. Other people use drinking, gambling, and other vices to help them forget about their stress.

However, a more effective way could simply be heading out to the backyard with your gun rifle airsoft and shooting a few rounds. Sit up some targets - aluminum cans, weighted water bottles, empty food cans, etc. - and practice your targeting. It won't take long for you to leave all of that stress behind. There is something very relaxing and calming about holding the gun in your hand, aiming carefully, and letting the ammunition fly towards the target.


Limiting the Insect Population with the Airsoft Rifle


You probably already know that insects can be a huge problem during the warmer months. They can build nests in the most disruptive places and cause all sorts of problems, including serious stings and even deadly allergic reactions. You could try to eliminate the problem by spraying tons of insect repellant at the nest and into the atmosphere but those chemicals aren't good for anyone to breathe in. A better method is bring along your air soft rifles and shoot a hole in the nest. Be sure to step back because the insects are going to be angry. Wait until they mellow then spray the repellant directly into the nest. An airsoft rifle gun works good for this task because you can stand further back.

Airsoft Gas Guns


Gas Guns Airsoft

Last weekend , my dad wasn't able to join his friends with their airsoft play because he needs to report for work. But later that afternoon , he decided to hit the mall for some early dinner food trip and a little grocery. He makes it a point that we are well stocked on weekends especially when we watch movies at night . On our way to the grocery , he stopped by the hobby store because they have a lot of display of Airsoft Guns. Of course, we are still new with all of these so we asked the sales attendant for more information on the products. Aside from the electric airsoft guns , magazines and rifles, he asked about the gas ones. It is said to be the biggest seller in the market now because of it's performance. My dad didn't bought one yet because he still wants to know more about it. I helped him with some online research and here's what we found out.. Read on ...


Airsoft Green Gas for Airsoft Gas Guns


When you look at the most popular options on the market, airsoft gas guns are some of the biggest sellers. And that makes good sense because the guns have plenty of benefits, including being affordable and fairly powerful. As you might imagine, they also need to have their gas containers replaced after you expend a specific number of shots. Most use a gas known as HFC134a, but you could sometimes opt for airsoft green gas instead.


Details of the UHC Green Gas


The best explanation is that the green gas airsoft gun is more powerful than the more traditional type of gas that is used. Usually, the gas is made from propane with silicone included and this combination can provide a boost to many of the guns on the market. Of course, you'll have to pay a little extra for that boost but the cost may be worth the results. One point that is important to remember is that this type of gas is not more environmentally friendly than the other options. Some consumers make that mistake because of the "green" in its name.


Advantages of the Airsoft Gas Guns


HFC22, as this green type of gas is sometimes called, will give you more excitement for your investment. The biggest advantage, of course, is that this extra power is going to be a great asset to you on the Airsoft field.

Of course, you'll have some other advantages as well. One of the weaknesses of the gas gun models in general is that they can't perform as well in very cold conditions. That's because the traditional gas used in most of the models just can't stand up to that type of weather. As a result, you could be in the middle of a match or of target practice then have your gas pistol just stop working as it should. That's not going to be a problem if you're using the HFC22. However, you do have to be worried about the opposite problem: the green variety of gas can't withstand high temperatures. In some climates, therefore, you might need to use both types and switch between seasons.


Air soft Guns Green Gas Issues


Of course, you don't want to start purchasing airsoft green gas until you know a few other facts. First, you can't use this product with every type of airsoft gas gun on the market. The Japanese models, in particular, just were not designed for this stronger gas. You really need to stick with the HFC134a variety with them. Otherwise, you could do some major damage to the equipment. The best way to find out if it's safe or not is to read your instruction manual or to ask a knowledgeable customer service representative.

Now there are some airsoft firearms on the market that were actually created for use with green gas airsoft gun. If you really want to use this product, those are going to be a good choice, although they usually do cost more than your average airsoft gas guns. Remember that they can still be damaged if you use them and this type of gas in very hot conditions. You may still need to switch back and forth between the two types to meet the needs of your climate.

On a lookout

My mom asked me to look for some electrodes online . I was a bit clueless on what she was looking for , so I checked Allegro Medical. It is a big medical supplies store online that has almost anything you need for a clinic or a hospital. So this electrodes are the ones that sticks at your body when your heart is monitored, yes it is for the purpose of monitoring. I ordered a few pieces that my mom will use for my uncle . They currently have a low supply in the health care so we just ordered online for my uncle's use. Allegro Medical never failed to give me great items whenever I order from them. I will surely be buying for more items soon. I want to have some stock of my basics when I go to my family in a few months. Its way cheap a t their site.

Jump around



Look at my nephew at the pics. He was actualy jumping around the bed while my niece is playing in her midst. His looks can really be deceiving LOL. My sister told me that he is so smart and playful now. He plays non stop the entire day . He loves to play the drums and guitar , well he plays it in his own way . Aside from his passion for music, he loves trying out skateboards. He saw this one time from a TV advertisement , and he is asking my sister to buy a board plus skateboard ramps , hahaha! I know, he is too early for those things. But you know kids, they always try to immitate what they see. Maybe when he gets older, he can try it out .

You Are A Good Friend



You're always willing to listen to your friends.

And you're the first to lend a shoulder to cry on.

You're there through thick and thin. You won't stop being friends with someone when times are tough.

In fact, you're such a good friend that many people consider you their "best friend"!

Pistol Airsoft Guns

I can really tell that my dad had a great time with his friends last weekend. I joined him with his shooting game and I felt soo glad that he had a grand time playing. Now , he has something to a look forward to on weekends instead of just accompanying me to the mall. You see, my dad is really not an outgoing person, but when he discovered that his few friends from work are into Airsoft Guns, he finally had a chance to socialize with others. I wish this will continue as time goes by. He needs this new hobby to somehow ease the boredom he feels here now that we are away from my sisters .

Anyway , I , in my support for his new hobby promised that I will buy him an Airsoft Gun that would fit right into my budget. And since this is something new to me , I made some research on types of guns and accessories . I want to have an idea of what to get for him before we go to a store. Here's what I am thinking of buying and a few info that I found online. Hope this helps starters like my dad.



Pistol Airsoft Guns


An Airsoft Gun, Airsoft Rifles and Airsoft Pistols for Your Hobby


With the holidays around the corner and birthdays coming up every year, many young boys and even some girls are likely going to have Airsoft Gun on their wish list. However, every year many parents refuse to even consider their child's wish to have a Airsoft Rifle or similar items under the tree or wrapped up on the gift table. The question is why are some parents so against these weapons and how can their negative perceptions be changed.


Are there Air Soft Sun Mess Worries?


Besides the concerns about possible injuries, many parents also worry about the mess which can be a result of the Airsoft shotguns, especially when they are used in the home or backyard. BBs can cover the floor and the ground. They can be a risk for injuries and can be dangerous to pets or other wildlife in the area, too. A good way to prevent this possibility is to invest in pop-up targets. These targets collect the spend ammunition so the shooter can reuse them in the weapon and so they are not strewn all over the place. Plus, these targets are a great way to reduce the need for purchasing extra ammo for the Airsoft gun.


What About Other Airsoft Guns Worries?


Finally, some parents are genuinely worried that Airsoft gun could inspire their children to become interested in trying out real and more dangerous guns. This type of experimenting could do more than cause a bruise like a BB might; it could result in a child's death or another person's serious injury. However, the best way to prevent this type of experimentation is by quelling the child's curiosity through the use of safer alternatives, like the airsoft firearms, and by training your child about proper weapon handling. Even though there is a big difference between these fun firearms and real guns, the safety measures you instill in your child won't be different.


Is there an Airsoftguns Danger Factor


One of the most commonly cited reasons why parents refuse to buy their children an Airsoft gun is the potential danger. Parents point out that injuries can occur from the high-powered, fast-moving pellets or bbs. The child can be injured or someone nearby can be injured. No parents want to pay unnecessary medical bills but is this a good reason not to allow your child to have one of these items?

To prevent these risks, you can begin early on training your child in proper safety procedures when using Airsoftguns. For example, make sure he or she knows that goggles or other facial protection must be worn at all times. Anything less is simply not going to be acceptable. You should also insist that any spectators wear facial protection as well or have them stand behind the shooter that is a safer place to be.

Along with the first airsoft pistols, children should be taught about these safety measures and others. For example, they need to know horsing around with the firearm is not going to be tolerated. In fact, you should have a zero tolerance policy on any behavior that could be deemed unsafe. If you also have one of these guns or even a real gun, modeling safe behavior is also a possible way to drive these points home.

I should sleep now

The weekend is over once more, and here I am , still up and enjoying my online world. I've been hooked with Facebook lately, I even update my status using my I phone. It keeps me occupied when Im at home, and it keeps me updated too with my friends back in Manila. This is actually getting to be a bad habit, You know, staying in front of the laptop doing nothing while munching in some junk foods. I told myself that I should really try those weightloss supplements i've seen online. I am counting days for my vacation, and that's also the number of days left for me to lose weight .

I really gotta sleep now everyone. May we all have a great week ahead.

Daddy's new hobby

Ever since we moved to this place, I noticed that my dad adjusted quite well with the lifestyle. It's a lot different than before, but yes , slowly, we were able to do it. He is enjoying work , and he is having a great time with his officemates . Just recently, they spent the weekend with some shooting , and he told me that this really made him enjoy his free time after a week or hardwork. He wants to buy an Airsoft gun like this




Airsoft BB Gun

Of course , I am still not familiar with it so I'm thankful I found pertinent information online. This is a big help to those who are just starting out with Airsoft guns.



Airsoft bb Guns, Airsoft Rifles and Airsoft Pistols

When you have an Airsoft BB Gun, you need to keep in mind a few factors that will maximize your enjoyment of the gun and its longevity. By following a few simple tips, you can continue to use your UHC Airsoft for many years to come, especially if you've chosen a reliable and well-crafted purchase.

Choose High Quality Air Soft BBs

Normally when you purchase one of these soft air guns, you're going to get some bbs with your purchase. This is a fairly standard practice. Most people will use those up before getting any new ones and just figure they are a bonus with the purchase. Unfortunately, that ammunition is not going to be of the best quality available. And that can be a big problem.

The problem is that low quality ammo like these can actually damage the inner workings of your gun. That's why you're better off heading out to your favorite gun accessories site and buying some fresh, high quality bbs and just tossing those in the trash. If you do want to use them, keep them around for old firearms that you don't care as much about.

The best choice is always to spend the extra cash and purchase the highest quality Airsoft pellet you can get your hands on. If not shops in your area sell high quality accessories, you should consider looking online for options.


Keep Your Airsoft BBs Guns Lubricated

While bad BBs can cause damage to your gun's interior, they aren't the only potential problem you should worry about. Another problem can come from not properly lubricating your equipment. When the BB is released through the gun with all of that kinetic energy, it causes a great deal of friction and heat within the gun. The lubrication helps reduce this and thus protects the gun from damage. When you're choosing a lubricant, always opt for a silicon-based product because these are the best available for these guns. You'll find these lubricants in most of the same places where you purchase the guns.

If you're not sure how often to use the lubrication, the best estimate is handle this task after every 4,000 pellets shot from your BB Air Soft firearm.

Protect Your BB Airsoft Weapon

While a real gun is made of materials designed to withstand some pretty tough handling, that's not the case with these options. If you end up dropping your Airsoft bb rifle too frequently, for example, you could cause the breakage of different internal parts. If you bang it against anything with much force, you could also damage the exterior and that's not desirable either. Always remember that these items need to be treated carefully so they are not damaged. Any damage can reduce their usability and even cause them to stop working altogether. This is a good reason to always keep your gun in a carrying case when not in use, too. The case would offer some protection from drops, bangs, and other potential damage as well.

Zenni

I was looking for a cheap but reliable eyeglasses that i can use everyday here at home ,and lucky me , i saw Zenni Optical on TV!!! Would you believe that have really great collection of eyeglasses at an affordable price. I got myself an $ 8 Rx eyeglasses in this design



Now , i am thinking of getting one for my mom and dad too. They will soon be travelling and i just wnt them to bring this instead of what they have here at home. They lost a few eyeglasses already so its not advisable to buy really expensive ones. I enjoyed looking at their items, High Five to Zenni Optical !

So its the time of the year again ! Insurance are parts of our lives here now. We have one for the car , health insurance , and now , my mom asked me to look for online term life insurance quotes . I have been busy lately because of my jobs , and i dont have time to deal with this . But my mom said , i have to find time for it so we can apply for it already.

silver

After learning more about gold , i realized that it's really a nice investment that i should try now. But before i even buy my first gold bullion, I read at Monex Company about silver. It is now becoming to be one of the strongest metals in the market. Strong in the sense that it is has a lot of potential to earn money in due time. Before I start dealing with silver, i better check the silver price in the market , and if it's really worth investing. From there, i can start deciding if i'll go with gold or silver. During this time, it's best to put your money in a place where they will really earn value. I know that in buying gold or silver, one can be sure that their investment is in good hands. My dad started with this a few months ago, and i saw the results already.

look at the princess


She is still 7 months old in this picture , and God , she has gotten really big. She's actually getting bigger each month i see her in pictures. I cannot wait to see her in October, i bet she will look like a 2 yr old girl by then. We are not a family of girls on the heavy side so we are thinking if our princess would still lose weight in the future. I think she will need the best weight loss supplements if she wont cut down on her weight hahaha. But i have to admit, she looks very adorable in this outfit , agree?

a nice insight

I got the following quotes here . Read on .. its full of insights and its nice to ponder on the words.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
- Jules Renard

Too many people go through life waiting for things to happen instead of making them happen! - Sasha Azevedo

Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way. - Dr. Seuss quotes

If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine.” - Morris West quotes


Finally! An online degree for me!

Yes, thats right! You might think that i am crazy that despite my super busy schedule with work, i still managed to enroll myself in an online university. Well , this is really a plan i have for myself this year. Would you believe that half of my plans were already accomplished, And this online degree is now part of the second half. I now this would really take hardwork and discipline , but no regrets, i know that this step would take me into places. Knowledge and education is still very essential to me. If we want something to happen, dont let small things come into your way. Thanks to my family for always being so supportive of me and my decisions.

high waist party dress


I would like to have this for the birthday of my niece.

It is made of cotton - lycra material which is so appropriate for Manila weather. I have to ask my sister to buy this for me online. It's from Hongkong and it would be easier to order if from Manila. I went to the mall last weekend looking for a nice dress for a party here, but i nothing suits my taste. So i just bought a few items for our princess .

Breathe

Things are really hectic for me lately , that when i arrive home, i just want to take a warm shower and hit the bed. I am finding ways to feel relaxed again , so here , let me share this with all of you. I gave it a try for a few days already , and it works.

Breathe.

Breathing can transform your life.

If you feel stressed out and overwhelmed, breathe. It will calm you and release the tensions.

If you are worried about something coming up, or caught up in something that already happened, breathe. It will bring you back to the present.

If you are discouraged and have forgotten your purpose in life, breathe. It will remind you about how precious life is, and that each breath in this life is a gift you need to appreciate. Make the most of this gift.

If you have too many tasks to do, or are scattered during your workday, breathe. It will help bring you into focus, to concentrate on the most important task you need to be focusing on right now.

If you are spending time with someone you love, breathe. It will allow you to be present with that person, rather than thinking about work or other things you need to do.

If you are exercising, breathe. It will help you enjoy the exercise, and therefore stick with it for longer.

If you are moving too fast, breathe. It will remind you to slow down, and enjoy life more.

So breathe. And enjoy each moment of this life. They’re too fleeting and few to waste.

Tip: Put the word “Breathe” as a screensaver or desktop pic, or put it up as a note on your wall or fridge or on your desk. Then do it every time you see the word.

El Dorado royale Resort

I envy one of my friends at work because they will go to this resort for a family vacation . I cant remember the last time we went on a vacation as a family, you know, with my mom and dad. It was ages ago because we were not together as a complete family for more than 2 years now! This is the reason why , by October, i am really planning a vacation by the beach for us. All of us deserves this break after all the hardwork. I am one excited girl, i will send email to my sister to look for really nice places and beaches to stay. I know theres a lot our place can offer, and just like white beaches at Riviera Maya, we will wake up with sun, sea and sand! I cant wait!!!

Stocks again

I will soon want to have a breather from all stuff that deals with finances. You may not be aware that working at the bank is not just with money matters, but yeas, we also deal with some stocks. I had a hard time a while ago at work trying to figure out some things about this since I am not really good with stocks, and that is one thing i really admit. We have a few tools used for stock options , so i am thankful with that. We even use an iron condor and that is a big help for me in doing some spread sheets! Whew! ITs really one tiring day for me. Hopefully by tomorrow , things will be easier and lighter! I think i need a little retail therapy after this crazy week!

Aromatic milk bath

Use this mixed concoction immediately after making it, for soft and silky skin.

1 egg
1/2 cup light olive oil
1 tablespoon glycerin
1/2 cup dried milk powder
1 drop jasmine essential oil
1 drop rose essential oil
6 drops lavender essential oil
2 cups distilled water

Beat together egg, olive oil, glycerin and milk powder with a whisk or hand held beater. While beating add essential oils. Continue beating until a smooth paste forms. Add the water a little at a time, continuing to beat. Immediately add to your warm drawn bath (be careful...if the water is too hot you'll make scrambled eggs).

I found it here. Enjoy your home spa everyone

Wear it to believe

A piece of jewelry can really transform your total look.

I can attest to this even if im not into jewelries all the time. My basic would be an earring and a watch. So when i tried this necklace that i got online , i love how it transformed my everyday suit into something classy. I went to a very important interview so i see to it that i look presentable and elegant. And it didn't disappoint me at all. You see, i can only spend a few dollars for this stuff so getting discount designer jewelry was a great move. I plan to order some more before i go home to Manila , this would be a great gift to all my friends there.

What to give?

DO you know where I can find some unique personalized wedding favors ? We are actually using it for a bridal shower for my good friend at work. I was given this task since they know how good i am with online shopping and they told me i can just order things online when i get busy. I want something personalized, like a notepad maybe? A notepad would really be useful to all of us, or maybe a small tote? I am searching for a great deal when it comes to price, hopefully i can find one on sale.

Anyway, my officemate will get married in August so we still have time to prepare for the program and materials needed. Work gets in my way and some personal stuff that i cannot blog for now . But soon when things fall into place, will definitely share the news with everyone.

Repairs

It all started with a clogged sink. My dad tried fixing it by buying this solution at the mall, at first it was effective, but a few days after, it went clogged again. So we called a repairman to help us with the problem since it's really giving us a hard time washing the dishes. And so he said that we need to get an undermount sink for replacement of the old one. He found out that it was the cause of our clogged sink. My dad was able to get one on sale at the nearby hardware . Now we dont have problems anymore and everything is back to normal at our kitchen. I hate it when something gets broken at our place because it means one thing, you know.

Med Supplies

My uncle , who lives a few blocks away from our place is still under medical care. Well, a nurse would come to their plae for some assistance every other day. Then during our free time, me and my mom would visit them to assist my aunt with some house chores as she takes her rest. Last weekend, i wasn't able to go to the drugstore to buy some over the counter meds and supplies so I ordered everything online since the site delivers fast too. I got a few stuff for our medicine kit , and a catheter for my uncle. Thank heavens for online shopping, everything is just one click away. Now , i need to browse thrpugh all the shopping emails i received over the week. A lot of summer sale that i am seeing and i am one happy girl again.
