The Aquaracer facsimile is a well known brand in the watch industry. It is known for its dynamic models which are causing waves in the Swiss Watch world. Among the latest models include: the Link, the Carrera, the Monaco, the Aquaracer and many more.
These wonderful models are the unique carbon copies of the original brand developed by the great watch dealer namely, Edouard Heuer who came up with the brand in 1860 there in Switzerland. Ever since the introduction of the original brand of Tag, the watch industry is yet to recover from its positive effect.
Meanwhile the replica versions came as a result of the costly nature of the originals. The replicas are currently going for the average amount of $280 and below. This makes them the delight of the hoi polloi of the society. The low income earners also go for it always as well as some of the rich people who are loosing their jobs in the face of economic meltdown.
The replica Tag models are known for their specifications in the watch industry. The replica Aquaracer for instance is a well known sports watch model. It is inbuilt with a powerful chronometer feature which serves as a stopwatch used in the regulation of the time during games and other events. The Carrera replica model is mainly used as a fashion booster. It has wonderful bracelets that add a lot to the fashion make-up of its users.
The Link model of the Tag replica brand is also known as a wonderful dress watch used in fashion boosting.
Generally, all the replica models are known for their efficiency in time regulation. They do keep to accurate time always. This is mainly because of the quality of the internal structures used in their production.
After Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks has also announced that after five season and two Daytime Emmy Awards, Tyra is also saying goodbye to her daytime talk show.
This will be the last season of the Tyra Banks Show with the fifth season ending this spring 2010. Tyra decided to gave up her daily talk show because she wanted to concentrate on the launch of her new film production company, Bankable Studios. According to Tyra, with this new venture, she aims to bring positive images of women to big screen.
I don’t get to watch her show religiously but every time I got the chance, I really watch it from start to finish as the shows brings different topics about women empowerment which are truly inspiring.
But we will still see Tyra on TV as America’s Next Top Model returns on its 14th season in February and Tyra’s ABC show True Beauty.
A few weeks ago, I attended a seminar about Office Ergonomics conducted by De La Salle University’s Human Factors Engineering Center. The Human Factors Engineering Center of De La Salle University is a center that conducts research in the area of human factors and ergonomics and their aim is to help industries develop a better working condition for their employees.
My company has took an initiative in hiring HFEC to conduct an ergonomic audit of the office to identify and correct potential workplace problems which I think is really a good management effort. The audit includes activities such as inspecting offices, taking measurements of furniture such as Office Chairs, and conducting illumination and sound level measurement tests.
The result of the audit conducted found out that most of the ergonomic problems experienced by the staff are due to improper setup of workstation and the employees’ lack of knowledge with how to properly maximize the ergonomics feature of their Chairs.
After the audit report, training has been given to all staff. During the training, the trainers demonstrate how to properly setup the workspace to avoid ergonomic related problems such as repetitive stress injuries. It was an interactive hands-on session that provided employees with practical tips that we can incorporate in our own workspace. They even have Executive Chairs during the training session and the trainer demonstrated the basic functions of the ergonomic chair to help employees maximize the nice ergonomic feature of their office furniture. After the training, the trainers were also available for a couple days to entertain staff with their questions and give them advice on how to improve their workplace.
All staff are really happy with this training organized by management as this will help them have a better time while at work and also will help employees improve their work. This is indeed a win-win scenario both for the employee and the employer.
A good friend of mine just gave birth last December 28. The bad news is that there was a complication during her delivery which is why she is still at the hospital right now. They also need to get blood donors as she needs blood transfusion as her hemoglobin level is very low (I am not sure if I got the medical terms right). Her baby is still under observation and is being monitored as the baby had a seizure on its second day.
They had been having problems with the needed blood for her transfusion because she was admitted at a public hospital. The rule is, the family has to replace the blood that will be use for the transfusion first before a blood transfusion will be administered to her. My mom helped them looked for blood donors but since it is a holiday, they said that nobody will process the request. We are talking of lives at risk here and this is the answer that they will get from our health officials and I was really shock. Is this the kind of health treatments that we are getting from our public hospitals?
That is why my husband and I really made sure that the health of our family should be our first priority and that is the reason why we have health insurance so we are sure that we are covered for whatever health needs our family will have. I am just checking insurance online since it is the end of the year and we have to renew ours and this should be the first thing that I should take care of as we enter 2010.
I just spoke with my mom and she told me that my friend’s condition is stable right now but she still needs three more bags of blood for her blood transfusion. I am praying that everything will be okay with her and her baby and this will be the best New Year’s gift that their family will ever receive.
Charlie Sheen spends his Christmas in jail after being arrested for domestic violence. He was sent to Pitkin County jail and was booked for investigation of second-degree assault, menacing, criminal mischief, and a misdemeanor.
A 911 call was received from a ski resort in Aspen and it is suspected that it is a call from her wife, Brooke Mueller. Sheen was able to get out of jail in the afternoon after paying a bond of $8,500.
Charlie Sheen has had records of domestic violence when he was arrested in 1996 for attacking his girlfriend in their Southern California home. There was also a report that he shot her girl friend Kelly Preston (who is now married to actor John Travolta) but Sheen claimed that it was just an accident. Domestic violence was also reported by her ex-wife Denise Richards.
Charlie Sheen married Brooke Mueller last 2008 after Sheen’s divorce with Denise Richards and they had their twins last March. Reports say that the marriage of Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen has been broken beyond repair but publicist of Sheen said that they have two kids and they love each other.

Yellow will be our color to welcome the New Year. We will have a family reunion again but this time, instead of celebrating it at my grand mother’s house, we will be outside Manila.
The organizing committee (LOL) composed of me, my aunt and my cousin had a meeting yesterday to prepare for the menu for our Noche Buena, the program, and the different activities to keep the whole family busy as we wait for the coming of 2010. We all decided that we will all wear yellow so we will all look nice for our family picture which we failed to do last Christmas because we are all so busy. We don’t know if yellow is the lucky color for 2010 but since majority of us have yellow colored shirts and since we just decided about this yesterday which gives us no time to shop, we all decided that Yellow will be our family’s color.
We have also booked the guest house where we will be staying for the night. We will bring cooked food for our Media Noche but we will just cook there for our breakfast and will have our New Year’s lunch in a restaurant. The guest house have kitchen facilities, kitchen faucets, utensils and kitchen appliances so we can just bring raw foods and cook it there so we can save a little.
The following day, we will leave the guest house around 11 AM for our brunch and then the kids can do other outdoor activities before heading back to Manila. We are all excited as all of us will be present for the reunion so I am sure it will be a blast. What a great way to welcome the New Year!!
Ever since my daughter started going to school, the time that she spent watching television has been lessened which is what we really wanted. Since she goes to school for three hours, her eyes can rest from watching the whole morning and since she is tired after going to school, she gets to take a nap as soon as she arrives home. She also is used to doing other activities aside from watching like painting, reading books, playing with her animal toys, which are some of the things that they do in school.
This made me one happy mom. I know that too much TV is not good for children so at least now her TV exposure has been lessened. Second reason why I am so happy about this development is that I get to watch my favorite TV shows again since she now gives me my time on the TV.
Just like this morning, I was watching my favorite reality TV show, the Amazing Race. I love this show because it is really interesting. Imagine different people, from all walks of life, with different careers, of different age, sex or race, competing for one million dollars. They will all be face with different challenges, both mental and physical which will really test the strength, unity, patience and solidarity of the team.
And it is interesting to know that not all of the strongest teams win. Just like what happened to my favorite Philippine team, which joined Amazing Race Asia, Marc and Rovilson. They consistently win first place in almost all the legs but they did not end up winning the final leg. So you will never really know what to expect from the show.
I was not able to finish the final episode this morning because we have to leave for my check up but I will surely wait for the replay.

When I had my first baby, I started listening to music of Mozart because there have been studies that it is good for the baby’s brain development. I think it really worked for my daughter because she is growing up to be a smart kid. I even consulted a developmental pedia, and he said that my daughter is potentially gifted.
So for our second baby, we will try to do it again. Though our problem is since I am at home and my daughter is busy watching her favorite movie, I can’t turn on our radio to listen to classical music. Hubby suggested that he will buy me one of those ipods and he will just load it with classical music songs and he will buy those ipod speakers so I can plug it also if I am just in my room. The beauty about ipod is it is compact so I can bring it with me everywhere I go.
I better check buy.com so I can select the color that I want for my ipod so hubby can buy it and baby and I can start listening to Mozart’s classical music.
Since December 25 will fall on a Friday, it will be a long weekend. Since I am already on sick leave because I was advice to take a bed rest, it will be hubby who will be very happy with this.
Today is his last day at work so he can stay at home and bond with us for four straight days after today. I wonder what we can do during the long weekend:
1. Like I posted in my previous post, Christmas Eve and Christmas day will be spent at home with my family. 2. Maybe I can go visit a Plano cosmetic dentist but I am not sure though if they will be open during the long weekend since it is the holiday season. 3. I am dying to go to Tagaytay and stay there even for just one night and then we will have breakfast at Bag of Beans and have lunch at Josephine’s but I am sure hubby and my parents will not agree with what I am planning since I really need to take a bed rest. 4. I am also thinking to just stay at a hotel located in the city where we can spend the weekend after Christmas. It will be a perfect place for me to really have a rest while spending some bonding time with hubby and B.
Being at home for the whole day doing nothing gives me all the time in the world to plan for things like this. LOL.

I was looking for term term life insurance online when I realized that Christmas is only two days away. So what are your plans for Christmas? As for my family, we have no plans to go out of town. Well for one, I am not allowed to go on long travel because as per my doctor’s advice, I have to take a complete bed rest so we will be celebrating Christmas at home with my side of the family.
We usually go to hear Christmas mass on Christmas eve at my former school. Then after mass, we will all gather at my grandmother’s house for our Noche Buena. We only have simple food for Noche Buena but I am excited to taste my grand mother’s specialty which is her spaghetti. Then on Christmas day, we will have our annual family reunion. My aunt ordered food from CCME and we really made sure that we placed our orders early so they can deliver it on Christmas day, otherwise we have to go to their shop in Quezon City (which is what we did last year) to pick up the food. After lunch, we will have our exchange gifts which I am sure all the kids (and the kids at heart) are really waiting for.
We usually go to my in-laws house in the afternoon to celebrate Christmas with them but I am not sure if we will be able to do it this year. One of hubby’s nieces has chickenpox and being pregnant, I can’t take the risk of being exposed to the virus. Even hubby and B can’t go too as they might become carriers of the virus. Hubby and I talked about it briefly last night and looks like, hubby doesn’t want to take the risk also which I am sure my in-laws will perfectly understand.
Christmas is really one of my favorite holidays so I am really excited for it. Two more days and it is Ho-Ho-Ho for Merry Christmas!
I have accumulated a lot of receipts from different receipt printer from different stores for my Christmas shopping this year. LOL. Unlike last year where I bought all our gifts mostly in just one store, I was able to go around different malls. You see, I am three months pregnant now and before I was advised by my doctor to have a complete bed rest, I was able to go around and shop. But I get tired easily so I usually shop for a few items at a time and then I will shop again the next time we are at the mall (which is usually almost every week).
But in spite of that, I was still not able to finish my Christmas shopping list. I still have a few of my god children and relatives that I haven’t bought gifts yet. I can’t hit the mall because I was advised by my doctor to have a complete bed rest because of my sensitive pregnancy so I have no choice but to just follow the doctor’s advice and stay at home.
But all the gifts have been wrapped already (thanks to the free wrapper that hubby got from Toys R’ Us) so we’re kind of ready for Christmas. LOL. And what is really important for me is that our family is complete to celebrate Christmas together and we have already received the best Christmas present ever, which is a new addition to our family.
Sometimes I wonder if having a car is a necessity or is just a luxury especially if you have to spend hundred of dollars for repair. But for my friend who lives in San Francisco, having a car is a necessity especially for her case because she needs to drive long distance everyday to go to work.
My friend owns a honda accord and they say that when it comes to parts replacement, Honda cars have the most expensive parts as compared to other car brands. But thanks to RepairPal, my friend never had problems looking for San Francisco auto repair every time she needs to send her car for repair.
Just like when the timing belt of her car needs replacement, she just search the site of RepairPal for a list of car repair shops located near her area. What she likes about the site of RepairPal is that she can do a search by car make or model and a list will be instantly given to her. She can even check the service center’s overall score based on quality of work and customer service so she can choose the best car service shop for her needs.
My friend from Chicago is in to buy and sell of cars. He buys old cars and he just sends it for repair and he earns big money after reselling it. You know how he does it?
Well, first he has this real love for cars so he knows what car to look and which car is saleable. Like the Toyota Corolla which he recently purchased. The body and the machine are still ok and the only problem is with the water pump.
Then he will rely on the website of RepairPal to search for Chicago auto repair. He just types in the city or state and a list of auto repair shops in that city or state will be given to him. And once the repair is finish, he can just look for a buyer and sell the almost new car at a very good deal. So it is really a win-win scenario for both my friend and the buyer because my friend earns good money for doing this while giving his seller second hand cars at a very affordable price but still in very good condition.
The late President Corazon Aquino has been a true inspiration for the Filipino people. She only started as the housewife of then Senator Ninoy Aquino and she became president after the long reign of the Dictator Ferdinand Marcos. After her term as a president, she became a very inspirational figure as she continues to embody a true leader and we have all witness how she fights cancer.
As a tribute to the President Corazon Aquino, Philip Stein created the limited edition Corazon Aquino commemorative watch. Of course, the color of the watch is yellow following Cory’s signature color. It also has a yellow ribbon on the dial and a yellow lizard strap. Since President Cory is the 11th Philippine President, the number 11 is highlighted in yellow and the following phrase is engraved at the back of the watch together with her profile picture: “A Tribute to the 11th President of the Philippines Corazon C. Aquino—Mother of Democracy” and her profile.
The watch is being endorsed by the President’s daughter, Kris Aquino. Here is a picture of the Commemorative watch (picture snagged from lucernejewelers.com).
When my brother and I put up our own business, one thing that we learned is that there should be an efficient accounting system so we can stay on top of all our business’ finances.
I spoke to my friend the other day and she is ranting about her financial problems with her business. You see, she still use a manual system to do all the accounting of her business finances and it is giving her so much headache already as she always end up getting inaccurate reports. And now that the business is growing, she knows that she needs more than a manual system to stay on top of her business finances. That is why when I heard of her problem, I immediately told her that it is time to get a Las Vegas CPA to help her with her business.
A CPA firm like Kondler CPA can offer her services that will help her with the accounting, audit and reporting of all finances for her business. She couldn’t agree with me more so she immediately picked up the phone to contact Kondler CPA.
Here in the Philippines, after the Christmas season, it will be the hot summer months and it will be the perfect time to do house renovations and renovations. My husband is really in the mood to redecorate our house. He has been planning to do it for the longest time already but he is really so busy with work. But he already started to clean up and throw some of our old stuff as he really plans to redecorate our house as soon as the busy Christmas season is over so it is a good sign that he is really serious with his renovation plans. And I guess he is really serious because as early as now my husband is already asking me to look for Window Coverings for our house. He said that this is where he will start the redecoration as he needs the perfect way to control the light coming in to our house for the perfect mood and setup that he wants.
I have checked out the Bali Blinds and it is one of my favorites. I love the sleek and classy design of the blinds and it even provides for greater light control which is what we want specially we plan to put it in our living room and bedroom.
Another of my favorite is the Hunter Douglas blinds. Just look at this:
It looks so clean and refreshing just perfect for the mood that my husband wants to establish. But these are just my choices and I still have to show it to my husband and I am sure he will have his own set of favorites too. But it is definite that we will order our blinds from Blind Saver as their products are really affordable, of high quality and they even offer free ground shipping.

Since our family is growing, my husband and I decided that we should start looking for other investment options so we can start saving for the future of our family. My friend who is into gold investment gave me the site of Gold Coins Gain where I can request for a free gold guide.
And that is what I did, I checked out their site and requested for my own free gold guide and I learned that gold is really a very good investment. Gold doesn’t depreciate in time and it has a high resale value so we can easily convert it to cash if needed. It is also universally accepted and can be easily stored.
I shared all the information that I got with my husband and he totally agreed that investing in gold is a wise investment option and with the help of experienced and competent staff of Gold Coins Gain, who is one of the best gold price provider to household investors like us, we will be assured that we will get the best price the market has to offer. I know you will all agree with me, that with gold investment, you can never go wrong.
It is almost the end of the year and in just a few months, when the new fiscal year begins, my husband and I will have a new set of vacation leaves. This means we can go on another vacation and we are really considering Myrtle Beach Resort for our next vacation.
A friend who recently had their vacation at Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort highly recommends it. My friend went there with her husband and two kids who is almost the same age as our daughter. My friend said that there is so much that we can do in Myrtle Beach Resorts that a week will not be enough. They have a lot of activities that both adults and kids will enjoy like a visit to the Ripley's Aquarium or Alligator Adventure, which I am sure my daughter will really love. They also have great amenities like kiddie pool, a lazy river and even a golf course.
I checked out the site of Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts and I learned that they are the #1 Family Beach in the US which got me really convinced that this is a perfect vacation spot for families with toddlers like us and for families who enjoyed nothing but the beach, the sand and the sun. Hopefully my husband and I can really save up for this trip.

Security of our family has always been the number one priority of our family. With the growing number of crimes and burglary and now that I am pregnant with our second child, my husband and I have decided to put up a security system to protect our home.
Our good friend in Chicago is using ADT Chicago as their home security system and they highly recommend it to us. After reading about adt alarm system and adt home security system, we were really convinced that they are really our best choice to protect our home and our family.
What we like about ADT is that they have a central monitoring system that monitors our home 24/7 with just a low monthly fee so they can immediately alarm local authorities in case of any emergency so that is one sure way to give us peace of mind that our home is really secure. Their system is also very easy to use that we can activate and de-activate it with just one click of a button – no complicated system that I have to learn.
Getting the best security for our home and our family is really something that every family should consider. Getting ADT as our home security system is really one of the best decision we have made so far. Now we have peace of mind that there are eyes that are monitoring our home 24/7 for our family’s safety and security.
A few weeks ago, one of my friend’s blog got hacked. Good thing she is using a very reliable web hosting service that is why in no time, she was able to restore her site back.
I am just using free web hosting services and the many incidents of hacking that happened in the past couple of weeks have really got me into thinking to avail of a web hosting service for my blogs. This way, I will be assured that if anything happens to my blog, I can rely on the backups of my web host to restore all my sites.
That is why I am really doing some research and thank goodness for 4 Cheap Web Hosting, my search for the best and the cheapest web hosting services has been made easier.

I know I promised my husband that I will only buy one toy for our daughter for Christmas since she received a lot of toys already during her birthday but I can’t stop myself from shopping specially after comparing the prices at Amazon to the prices at the local stores here (they are really more than double).
So what did I end up buying?
1. LeapFrog Clickstart My First Computer and Toy Story and Finding Nemo game cartridges
2. Fisher-Price Manny's Tool Box. I really have no plans of buying it but after reading the product description, I got really interested with it and I am sure our daughter will really love it. The tool box talks and the tools inside the tool box dance with the music. The kids can also play with the tools individually and it also has interactive sounds. 3. Crayola 50ct Telescoping Pipsqueaks Tower. Our daughter loves doing art works now so this Pipsqueaks tower of washable markers will surely be a hit. So now we have gifts for her from Santa, from baby Jesus and from us.
I also bought this cute Twilight and New Moon board game as my Christmas gift for my female cousins. Three down but my shopping list is still long and I only have a few days left before Christmas, so pressure, pressure, pressure.
One of the many reasons why I am enjoying my pregnancy now is because I am excited to shop for our baby # 2. During my first pregnancy, I did not know enough online shops where I can buy baby stuffs at a much affordable price that I end up buying them locally.
But thanks to my shopping guru, Peachy, I discovered a lot of online shopping sites and my favorite now is Baby Bedding Palace. What I like about them is that they use only 100% high quality natural cotton materials for all their products so I am sure that it will be gentle and safe for my baby. Plus it is even hand made in Nepal so I am not only saving my baby, but I am also saving the planet as well.
What I love about their Baby Bedding Sets is that it contains all that I need for my baby’s nursery – it includes a quilt, a bumper, fitted sheet, skirt, pillow and even a diaper stacker and toy organizer. So this means all the items in my baby nursery are all matching which is what I really like to have. And most of their items are on sale too (almost 50% off). If only I already know the gender of my baby, I would have been shopping like crazy at Baby Bedding Palace. Here is some of their baby bedding sets:
I just received an email from GoDaddy reminding me that I need to renew my Domain name as it is expiring soon. This got me into thinking if I should also avail of GoDaddy’s web hosting services.
So I did some research and I landed on the page of webhostingchoice.com and they are really recommending GoDaddy as the best asp web hosting site. Godaddy is even voted as the Best ASP Web Host for 2009.
I have been registered with Godaddy for two years now and I really recommend their service. They have good technical support team and every time I send an email inquiry to them, I get a reply from them in 24 hours of less. That is why I am confident that if I decide to avail of their hosting service, I will surely get the same quality of technical support that I am getting with their domain registration.
Their packages are also very affordable as they have an economy plan which starts $4.99 that comes free with 10 GB of Disk Space and 300 GB of data transfer so it is really very affordable for small time blog owners like me.
My friends also experienced the hacking of their blogs thereby loosing all their blog data but this is not a problem with GoDaddy as they do daily backups as a standard service to all their clients.
Now that I have this information in my hands, it can really help me decide if I should be availing of GoDaddy’s hosting service or not.

In just a few days, it will be Thanksgiving Sale and Black Friday sale again so I am really saving up for this sale. I am a frequent online shopper. I buy most of our stuffs online. Why you may ask? Well it is because rates are cheaper as compared to prizes here in my side of the world and they even offer items that I won’t be able to find at local stores here. And especially if items are on sale, I really have huge savings.
Since I shop online, I often exposed my credit card details to potential hackers and criminals. I read that identity theft is one of the major crimes committed in the United States and though I love the benefit that online shopping brings, it still makes me concerned about the possibility that my credit card information can be stolen too.
That is why every time I shop online, I check to make sure that the website where I am ordering is using visa PCI compliant merchant solutions. With this method, every time I entered my credit card details, this information are tokenized and are redirected to Braintree’s website behind the scene so payment information stays in a vault and never reaches the merchant’s server. This increase the security of the website, thus reducing the risk of stolen credit card information.
Thank goodness for this kind of technology, at least I can enjoy the benefits of online shopping and I still feel secured about my financial information.
November 20 is the date, for the showing of the much awaited second installment of the Twilight saga, New Moon. Have you seen the trailer? Here it is:
I can feel Bella’s pain when Edward said goodbye. I really miss Edward here as he is almost not present the entire story. But boy, Jacob did a good job in taking Edward’s place (although I know that most Edward fans will not agree with me as I know that Edward can’t be replace in Bella’s heart). I actually don’t like how Jacob looks in the Twilight movie and I feel that he did not do justice on how he was described in the book but boy, how he transformed in the New Moon movie.
My MBAP friends are actually planning to watch it on the 20th but sadly it is a work day so I can’t take a leave from work. But I will be having a movie date with my cousins, maybe on the 22nd. I am so excited already. I can’t wait to see Edward, Bella and Jacob again.
Hubby has really been convincing me to visit our friend in San Diego next year a few months after I gave birth. Our friend will be celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary and they wish that we can join them as they celebrate their anniversary. They will be having a Mediterranean inspired party and so they will have a San Diego banquet at Trattoria Acqua. Trattoria Acqua is a very romantic restaurant as it has an overlooking view of the La Jolla Cove and Pacific Ocean so it is a perfect venue for an intimate celebration that our friend is planning for their anniversary.
This would be a perfect vacation for us if we will be able to go as we can go around and visit the tourist spots in San Diego also with our friends. Our friend is saying that they are only inviting their close friends and relatives so they are really hoping that we can make it for their anniversary party.
I am about to give birth next year but we promised our friends that we will really try to save up so we can be with them as they celebrate an important event in their life.
Since I am bed rest for week, hubby went home one day with the Sex and the City movie DVD so I have something to watch while I stay at home the whole day. My favorite part of the movie is their vacation on Mexico and how I wish we can also go on a Mexico family vacation.
If I did not get pregnant, hubby and I are really planning to go to an out of country vacation again next year. Since we all love the beach, we are really dreaming of going to Azul Sensatori Hotel as we heard that it is really ideal for family vacation. I am sure our daughter will have fun at their splash park and kid’s pool while I and my husband enjoy a beach front massage. Their location is also perfect as it is just twenty minutes away from the airport so there will be no long land travel which is what we really prefer since we are travelling with a toddler.
If not next year, hopefully when our second baby is old enough to travel with us, we will someday try the lovely Azul Sensatori Hotel in Mexico.

I am so proud of my husband. He is one responsible and hardworking father and he really makes sure that he can provide for all the needs of our family. Now that our family is growing with the coming of the second baby in our family, he is thinking of putting up a computer business with his friend from college. They are thinking of putting up a Computer school where they will offer computer classes for Office application, Windows Application, Operating systems, server administration and the like.
Since they only have a limited budget, they will be purchasing refurbished sun servers from Redapt to use for their computer school. My husband said that Redapt offers quality and affordable servers that even come with a one year warranty and technical support.
My husband has long been planning to have his own computer school so I am really wishing him luck and hope that this business venture with his friend will really push through. Good luck to you my dear husband.
It is the start of the second semester already and I can hear my sister complaining about her school expenses. You see, she is a working student and so she really needs all the way that she can have to save. She is a graduating student also and this is her last semester and she has to start saving up for her thesis which can be costly because they have to pay a fee to the professors that will be the panelist for their thesis defense and add to that the expenses that they will incur in completing their project.
Since it is the start of the semester, she needs to buy books for the subjects that she is enrolled in. Good thing she discovered Valore Books where she can buy used textbooks at a very affordable price. If she wants to make money, she can also sell her old textbooks to Valore Books and I heard they really have a high textbook buy back prices.
I am so proud of my sister because she has been working really hard and in just a few months, she will graduate as a Computer Science student and she did all this as a working student. I heard she might also be included in the dean list so hats off to you sissie.

A few weeks ago, I read a number of email threads in my yahoo groups about some of our friends who have been victimized by burglary. I immediately told the story to my husband and he got really concerned for our safety. Since my husband and I are both working, our daughter is left alone with our nanny almost the entire day. So my husband thought that installing Home Security Systems is the only thing that will give us peace of mind.
He checked out the site of ADT Home Security and read about the different security equipment that will be installed at our home for our security and protection. Equipments such as a digital keypad that will give us easy access to fire, medical and police dispatch, motion detectors, sirens, and wireless door and window sensors. After reading all this information, my husband immediately filled up the online form and we got contacted right away by an alarm specialist who installed all the mentioned security equipment.
What my husband likes about ADT is that they have four interconnected monitoring centers that offers 24/7 Home Security Monitoring to all their clients form all the states listed in their site. Aside from the very reliable and high-tech equipment used by ADT, this 24/7 monitoring give us additional peace of mind that our family is really safe and secure from any intrusion.
On November 16, our dear princess will be turning four years old. We prepared two parties for her, one to celebrate with our families and friends and another one to celebrate with her teachers and classmates at school.
Almost everything is ready for the party except for the clothes that she will be wearing on both parties and of course no birthday is complete without the presents that we will give her. Since I only have one week left to look, I am already starting to panic as she still has no clothes to wear on her birthday. But while I was looking for barefoot dreams blankie as my gift for my friend’s daughter, I saw this cute appaman pink tee.
The tee is made from cotton so I am sure it will be really comfortable to wear. And with the bold number 4 printed in front of the tee, it will definitely make her birthday shirt extra special. And I am really feeling so lucky because I even saw jellycat stuffed animals which I am sure our daughter will really love as our birthday present for her. Check out loulouscorner.com and I am sure you will see lots of great finds here.

We just got back from our almost 7-day vacation in Singapore and Malaysia. It was a nice trip, a great bonding time with my family, but my husband said that hopefully we will be able to visit the United States for our next vacation.
One of the reasons why we wanted to go to the US is my hubby’s friend just purchased Metrodome tickets and he is inviting my husband to join him. These tickets are very difficult to get that is why he is convincing my husband to come so they can watch the Metrodome together. They are also both fans of Globetrotters so if we will push through with our US vacation, they might purchase Harlem Globetrotters tickets from ACheapSeat as well. My husband said that watching the Globetrotters is really an entertaining show to watch since they combine sports with comedy and so they wanted us to join them when they watch the basketball exhibition. But knowing me and the wife of my husband’s friend who are really not into sports, we might not be able to enjoy it and so we are looking at Jeff Dunham Tickets as we have long been planning to watch him perform live also.
Looks like we have pretty much have planned our visit in the US for next year. Hopefully, we will be able to save so this trip will really push through.

Since my brother gave up his career in the IT world as a programmer to concentrate on our cell phone business, he suddenly became really business minded. He is really doing well as a businessman as every month, our earnings from the business is increasing and he was even able to expand our business and we are now selling other gadgets aside from cell phones like cameras and laptops.
He is in a middle of a personal financial problem right now so he is looking at setting up a new business to help him with his financial problem. He is looking at business franchise as he learned from a friend that it is one sure and safe way to start a new business since he doesn’t need to start from scratch.
By submitting a profile, consultants can use this information to analyze the best type of franchises that will best suit the client’s needs and financial goals. And what is best about franchising is that, he can use the knowledge and expertise of the franchise owner to start a business successfully.
I am sure getting a franchise will really help my brother with the financial problem that he is facing right now.
Have you seen my hubby’s quarter dollar collection (I grabbed this picture from his Blog Site)?
He is really into collecting all sorts of things and collecting coins is one of his favorites. That is why when he was able to complete his collection of quarter dollars bearing the 50 states of the United States, he really felt contented.
That is why for Christmas, I am thinking of getting him rare silver coins. I really have no knowledge when it comes to this field but I am sure hubby will be the happiest if I will be able to get him a rare silver coin to add to his collection. And that is why I have searched and searched and discovered about Monaco rare coin.
Monaco rare coin specializes in rare silver coins and they can really help me find the best rare silver coin to give to my husband. I can either buy from their inventory or they can even help me locate the rare coin that I am looking for if they don’t have it on stock. And since Monaco has a team of experts, I am sure I will get the best value in the market.
I am excited already as I know, hubby will be really so happy if I will succeed in getting him a rare silver coin as my Christmas gift to him.

My husband has been convincing me for the longest time already to start the renovations of our house in the suburbs. And now that we will be finish with our housing loan next year, my husband is really considering starting the renovations as soon as possible as he can’t wait to move in to our dream house.
As what I learned from Jody and Jacqui, we really should invest on the furniture and fixtures that we will use for our dream house as it will be for our long term use. And since hubby is really serious to proceed with the renovations next year, I am already doing some research as early as now on where we can order custom cabinets and that is when I discovered custom cabinets Richmond.
They can design custom kitchen cabinets Richmond based on our lifestyle so the style and theme for the furniture and fixture will really reflect our personalities. They just don’t create kitchen cabinets Richmond but they can also create designs for the entire house as well so every room in the house will have a general matching theme.
Hopefully we will be able to push through with our planned house renovations next year as I know this has been a long dream project for my husband.
My good friend who lives in Colorado is looking for business opportunities. She and her husband moved there when her husband received a good job offer. But then my friend has to resign from her job. This is actually what she really wants as she wants to take care of their daughter but because of the economic recession, they can really feel the effect of the economic crisis and so my friend feels that she needs to look for another source of income to help her husband.
My friend heard about franchises Colorado from a friend and she got really interested. She did some reading and the positive side about franchise Colorado is that a consultant will help you make a decision on the best franchise that will work for every client. The client has to submit a profile that the consultant will review to recommend the best local franchise opportunity for each individual client.
My friend got really excited as she knows that she will be in good hands since the consultants will give her good advice on the perfect local franchise for her. She is really confident that her hard earned money will not go to waste as an expert will help her in making a franchise decision.

For the longest time already, hubby has been mentioning his plans for us to move in the suburbs. We purchased a house and lot there a few years ago and my husband is really serious in settling there in the near future. And it looks like he is really serious about his plans as he already talked to prospective contractors for quotation for our house renovation.
I am a city girl and I am really not used to living outside the city. One of the major problems that I think I will encounter when we move to the outskirts is the lack of cable providers. But my colleague who lives in that area also mentioned that I need not worry as there are already a lot of satellite television providers in that area like Direct SAT TV. What’s best about satellite tv providers is that they have affordable packages that I can choose from and they even have more channels than cable television and of course, every satellite tv subscriber can enjoy high-definition movies in their own home.
Since hubby is really serious about his plans for us to move in our house in the suburbs by next year, I have to start inquiring with Direct SAT TV, satellite tv provider, so I will be assured that I will not miss any of my favorite TV shows.

NFL, NHL, NBA, Soccer…name any sports and I am sure my husband is a real fan. That is why he gets so frustrated because the cable provider where we are subscribed to right now doesn’t offer that much Sports channels. And often times, they will offer it on a pay-per-view basis which is an added cost on top of the monthly fee that we are paying our cable company.
And since the fight between Pacquio and Coto is already nearing, my hubby is again feeling down because he knows he can’t watch the match live in our house. That is why I am thinking of subscribing to any of Direct TV Packages just like the DIRECTV Sports Pack as my advance Christmas gift for hubby. I am sure hubby will really enjoy watching his favorite sports channels in high definition.
A friend of us is currently subscribed to Direct TV Satellite TV and they have nothing but phrases for it. They get all the local channels at no extra cost plus they are getting true high definition reception.
How satellite tv works ? Why is satellite TV better that more and more households prefer it over other cable companies. I guess the answer is simple. With Direct TV’s awesome deals, any household can afford to get movie-quality shows in their home, with all their favorite channels at a very affordable price.
My sister-in-law just moved to London a few weeks ago as she got a job there as a Physical Therapist. I talked to her everyday and she told me that she is already getting home sick. This is the first time that she went away from her family to work so I can just imagine how difficult this situation is for her.
I told her that she should just keep herself busy so she will not get home sick. Since she goes to work only a few hours per day, she has time to do other things like enroll in a medical teaching course so after the 2-day training, she can apply for a medical teaching job. I learned about this from my friend who is a doctor in London. She took a doctors teaching course where she got extensive training from faculties consisting of consultants and educationalist with PhD and Masters degree. My friend said that she learned a lot from this course that will help her improve her skills as a doctor.
My sister-in-law got really interested with the teach the teacher course. It will not only keep her busy so she will not be home sick, it might even help her get a job as a medical educator.

I can’t believe that time really fly so fast. I can still remember when I had my Christmas shopping rush last year and now, in just a few weeks, its Christmas time once again. One of the reason why Christmas is my favorite holiday is because it gives me all the reason to go shopping. LOL.
I love giving gifts and it has been my tradition to give gifts to all my relatives, god children, friends and colleagues. Of course, on top of my list is my dear daughter. My husband and I have been thinking to buy her educational toys like Leapfrog’s Clickstart. I actually showed it to my daughter and she actually loves it to bits. Next on my list are my cousins and god children. I am reading at the buying guide for clothing for girls as I am thinking of just buying casual clothes to all my girl cousins. At least it will be something that they will really use. Children’s books are also a good gift idea as it is something that kids will enjoy and something educational.
Because of the flood brought by Typhoon Ondoy, a lot of car owners are sending their cars for check up and repair. Would you believe that it may take one to two months of waiting because of the long queue in the car repair shop?
My dad’s car broke down also and needs new water pump. And because car repair shops prioritize those that has been heavily damaged by flood, my dad’s car was given a schedule two months from now. But he is lucky because they can still use the car, though the cooling system is not working.
My friend who lives in Chicago owns a Toyota Corolla and is in the same boat as my dad. He needs to send his car for repair also but he is lucky because he can easily get a list of Chicago auto repair shops just by accessing the website of Repair Pal. He just needs to type in the city or state, and a list of all car repair shops in that city or state will be given to him. So now, all my friend has to do is select the shop that is closest to him. Very convenient. How I wish we have the same kind of service here in the Philippines.
