A Friend's Visit

So nice of this girl I knew through the internet, the popular social networking site called Facebook introduced by a college buddy and then she came visited me and my kids last Saturday. Who would have thought that I could meet her in person? She lives in San Francisco, California and I am here in Texas, sounds kinda far but if one person is interested to make it happen, there should be no excuses no alibis, there is a big way to make it happen!

Thankss to you Apol for taking the time to come by here and share dried fish and squid with me. next time again, ayaw tagam ha?

Making beautiful with what we have

Guest post written by Chelsea Linderman

Moving into our dream little house has made our budget for interior design shrink a little bit. The house is a fixer upper. We love that type of stuff, but that also means that we have to be better and more creative with our budget. Well, one thing that I've taken advantage of in decorating our place has been using old furniture that we already had or has been passed down to us.

While I was looking up some info on how to reupholster some of that furniture to give it a fresh, new look, I ran across some info on kitchen remodeling and decided to Click Here to get more info on it. That's one of the things that we were going to fix up in the house and that's something that I'd rather somebody else handle.

I'll just work on things like painting and reupholstering furniture as my part of the household makeover. My husband's pretty handy with things like putting up crown molding. Not so much installing cabinets and plumbing.

Wordless Wedenesday: Wasted Baby

Baby Boys Clothes

Three of my friends that are in my Facebook list are pregnant with baby boys! How awesome. Three of them are first time mommy-to-be. I plan of sending one of them some new baby boys clothes as a gift. I know it feels so good when you have somebody actually thinking about your unborn child. I have been so blessed with good friends around giving me plenty of baby girl outfits during my baby shower so this being said, I would like to return the favor, the kindness and thoughtfulness they've showed me when I was still pregnant with my two girls.

Cute baby boys clothes can be bought anywhere or online. It shouldn't be hard on me to pick which one to send. If I were to give clothing, I want it 3 sizes up than the actual age of the baby because you know babies grow like weeds. They outgrow their clothes so fast. Before you know it, some of the new outfits given to you for newborn won't fit anymore when they reach 3 months old.

From Doing Mistakes We Learn

As human beings, we all make mistakes. We are not perfect for it is making mistakes we learn and it is up to us to correct them or keep doing wrong things while we know they aren't right. Making mistakes are part of us while growing up. When we are young we don't know much about the world or certain things that could possibly harm other people. Driving and drinking for example, you know it is bad yet occasionally you do it. When you drink too much and you get behind the wheels, definitely you know that you will get into accident or worse kill people on the road.

You will be lucky if you just cause a wreck to someone else's car but what if you kill them? That could be the worst thing happen to you for it will forever haunt you. With all these being said, you need a lawyer to defend you. If you live in the Cincinnati area, you can find a very good Cincinnati Attorney or a

Cincinnati DUI Attorney for your case.

In own personal opinion, if you feel like drinking, just do it in your house and never drive. That way you don't put your own life at risk and you spare other people as well for getting involved in a nasty accident you might cause. Remember, if you have a DUI case pending, call a Cincinnati Lawyer to help you!

Mellow Yellow Monday: Me Too!

I was taking picture of my little one for her 5 months remembrance when my first born just suddenly appeared saying ME TOO! She was kind of jealous I took picture of her baby sister and inviting her or including her in the photos. Silly big girl. She knows she already have tons of photos but then she forced me to shoot her too.

The Love Of Art

I can understand some people are so into arts. Just like everybody else, we do have different passion and addiction. I, for one is so addicted with purses or handbags. For some, they love collecting or buying arts. Well, honestly, I also love arts but I don't like buying it for it is too expensive for me. Usually if you buy an original art with an artist's signature in it are way too much.

For those of you out there who specifically adore shepard fairey you may browse shepard fairey art on these links here. Or go to ShepardFaireyPrints.com for it has amassed a large collection of authentic out of print Shepard Fairey art prints and other collectibles such as obey giant art and obey giant prints. They now offer this collection direct to the public. Contact them today if you are looking for that very piece but don't see it online.

IT Recruitment Agency

I remember I had this very timid, shy and loved to be alone classmate of mine in high school. He was a silent type of student yet smart. After graduating high school and parted ways with my classmates I didn't hear anything any of them until Facebook bound us together again and reconnected me with them. Ten years since our last day in high school I heard from this boy again. He was no longer a boy I used to know for he had grown into a young successful man working in IT related job in New Zealand. And to top of it all, he is now a father and I guess living permanently in NZ. How nice of him to be able to improve his life and has a big time and permanent job!

While those braggart and often noisy, loud mouth classmates we had are still living in the same place they grew up, meaning their lives have not improved a thing except of course they work at local lending company or at an industry that recruits high school graduate only. I heard some were trying to work for IT jobs in Australia and applied at an IT recruitment agency hoping they could get out of the country for a greener pasture. I wish them luck and I hope they will be as lucky as the timid boy who is now successful in his IT career.

Rolled Over

Wow cheers to my baby girl for she finally rolled over at 5 months and 2 weeks old. She did it 2 nights ago while at her dada's study room last January 12,2012. Way to go baby girl!! Not long from now she'll be crawling and will be all over the place. I can't wait to see her being so active and should I anticipate for a big mess when she reaches the stage of being an explorer and curious little monkey?

Elegant and Attractive

Nothing beats the beauty of having blomus stainless steel stuff in our house such as kitchen appliances, outdoor or garden stuff and etc. And a blomus fireplace surely gives so much attraction in the house that whoever visits the house can't help but admire its beauty. To top with that, blomus kitchen just encourages the woman of the house to cook more palatable foods for her family because of the clean, neat, elegant looking of the kitchen that blomus stainless gives to the area or that particular part of the house.

If you are looking for the best and high quality products made of blomus stainless steel, just click on the links above and start browsing for those things that you have been wanting to own or to buy.

Pet Care

We do have a dog that is mixed Chihuahua, part Pekinese and Duchsund. She is a small dog yet very active but despite of her being so naughty and playful, we all love her especially my husband. He treats the dog as one of her daughters and this dog of ours feels like she is human, she is a child and she feels that she is well-loved by her family.

We have had this dog for 4 years now. Looking at her baby and old pictures, I can tell she has grown a lot since she came to join our family 4 years ago. Chihuahuas are usually very active and since she is part Chihuahua she just can't sit and relax especially when there are people in the house. We believed that she is going to calm down when she gets old but we don't see that happening. Another irritating habit she does is that she barks a lot in the house whenever there are people walking outside or somebody knocking on our door.

However, this dog of ours is so precious! She became Jadyn's bestfriend. I tell you they are like sisters too, they play together, run together and most of all lick each other's mouth lol. Chicha is her name, she is one healthy dog but I cannot be sure if she is totally clean eventhough she is an inside dog for when she goes outside who knows what she eats out there?

We keep our dog happy and healthy by bringing her to a veterinarian once in a while. Oh by the way, she is due with her vaccine soon and for that this is going to be another over a hundred dollar bill once she gets out of the veterinary clinic. It truly is expensive having a pet but with Frontline Plus for dogs, hopefully it helps us ease the burden of high bills. I will tell my husband about this so he can register our dog to this program.

Enough Supply Of Water

There were a few times last year we were shocked at how surprising our water bills were. I think last Summer was the hottest and the longest drought we have experienced here in North Texas forcing several cities to restrict people from watering their yard twice a week. Even here in Edgecliff Village, we were under restriction number two due to long drought. Poor were the plants in my garden and our yard just looked so brown and horrible. No matter how we wanted to water them as often as we could but we just can't do that.

I hope this year it won't be too bad as last year's and it would be a good idea to stock up rain barrels in preparation for summer so we will have enough supply of water for our garden and our yard. For sure rain water barrels aren't so expensive so we should find no excuse not to buy rain barrels for sale because this will save us some money on our water bill.

Hard To Breathe

Picture on the left is of my baby covering her face while fast asleep. It can be very dangerous and suffocate her if I didn't see her doing this. She was in deep sleep that she wasn't moving at all. 

This blanket as I remember was wrapped from her waist down to keep her warm but she moved too much that it covered her whole face. Now I have to watch her carefully and check on her from time to time when she's in the crib to avoid this from happening again.

Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

A woman in the news is found dead behind their church building and initial investigation found no foul play. The husband told the media that it's his greatest fear finding his wife off the medication and die. She was bipolar by the way and they cannot keep up with the cost of medication so she skip a few times taking medications. 

I am talking about this because many people will be sure affected by failed Walgreens new negotiation with Express Scripts. And the bad news is Walgreens is no longer part of Express Scripts pharmacy provider network as of Jan.1,2012 that forces many patients on medication including America's military service men and women since they are under Tricare which is health and drug program for them. Patients are going through the added hassle of changing new pharmacists, driving farther and not seeing the rates going down.

Now what the pharmacy is doing to help ease the burden its clients? Walgreens actually took an unprecedented step of offering Express Scripts a guarantee that their prices would match or beat the average costs per adjusted prescription of all other pharmacies in the Tricare network. Truly, Walgreens and Express Script should go together. To read more of this information please visit this press release link https://docs.google.com/document/d/144giYDsuBLUzZ5rJqe7oo8madlMnFkJ6xTUFcNGsNDM/edit?pli=1 here. The release says, only those patients on certain prescription insurance plans managed by Express Scripts are  impacted. You should check out your Walgreens pharmacies near you to confirm this. 

Another step that the pharmacy is taking to minimize disruption is offering a special discount on annual membership for Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. You may join now and for they have a special January promotion for only $5 or $10 for family membership which entitles you to receive savings on your prescription medication on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. 

Also we can all show our support to Walgreens by simply following Walgreens on Twitter and become a fan of Walgreens on Facebook. Let's keep updated of the latest news of Walgreens pharmacy by simply doing on any of those two urls above.

 

 

404. That's An Error - How To Fix This

Go to Internet Explorer browser, click TOOLS then INTERNET OPTIONS. Then click CONNECTIONS then LAN SETTINGS. Uncheck everything except AUTOMATICALLY DETECT SETTINGS. I hope this helps for it worked for me.

Rx Online

I am amazed how things are done so easy here in America. We can shop almost anything on the internet without leaving with the comfort of our own home. This isn't the way it's done from the country I am originally from. We have to go out and commute just to get our prescription at the local drugstore. Internet back then didn't exist or even now that internet is commonly used in the Philippines, still you cannot order your prescription medication online or even the counter drugs.

In Canada too, they also have their online canadian pharmacy where people can buy plavix, buy actonel or any other types of medication. That's what is cool about living in developed countries, they makes things easy for people! They can choose which Canadian pharmacy in their area and just order online. CanadaDrugCenter.com is an onlineCanadian drugstore which guarantees its customers a simple, safe and affordable means of ordering their popular brand and generic drugs.

Wordless Wednesday: The Shamu

Places To Be

When a person feels bored at home, it is either he would go out with friends to their favorite hang out places or rent a DVD and watch a movie at home. We all have different way of entertaining ourselves, aren't we? For gay people, they do have their own and chosen places to go where they mingle people of their kind.

If you are in New York City and doesn't know much about the place, you may look or search for coffee shops and gay bars around the area and hopefully have some fun, meet new acquaintances and enjoy life! I hope this blog entry helps people who are gay and give them an idea on where to go or to search for some fun places to hang out with their friends!

Mellow Yellow Monday :Round Fruits For New Year

Not forgetting my two bottles of sparking red and white grape juice!
