Operation Clean Up Today

12:41 PM | Posted by Bela

Hubby, together with my dad and two helpers are now in our house in the province to do a major clean up. It has been a while since we last clean our house there. Hubby is really keen in pursuing his plans to proceed with the house renovation project and since he is on holiday today, he asked my dad if they can go there to survey the house and check which ones need repair.

I got an update from him just now and they are already starting to clean the house and are throwing old stuffs like old cabinets, beds, etc so we can start bringing in our things there. The restrooms also need major cleanup and we need to buy Toto toilet as muriatic acid is not enough to make the toilet white and sparkling again.

We will be finish with our housing loan by September so this means we can get a loan again for house repairs and renovations so we can start with this house renovation project. I am really not up to hubby’s plan since we will only be using this house during the weekend so I don’t want to spend that much for its renovation but I don’t think there is a way to make me change hubby’s mind so I guess I just have to play the role of a supportive wife.

Nicole's 1st Bday on Sunday

12:22 PM | Posted by Bela

I will be meeting up with them this coming Sunday as it is the first birthday party of the daughter of my best friend. We don’t get to see each other often as we are all busy with our family life and with work, but I am glad that still nothing has change (except of course we all need to read about lipofuze review to help us loose weight. LOL).

HHL_9999_54
The party will be held at World Trade Exchange in Binondo. It is a swimming party. We haven’t seen the proud parents for a long time now since they are now residing in Singapore so we are all glad that they decided to celebrate the first birthday party of their daughter here so we can celebrate with them.

I am excited already as I can get to see my old friends from college again so we can catch up with each other’s lives. They are one of my few closest and true friends that is why I am really looking forward every time there is a chance for us to get together.

See you all guys on Sunday.

SATC UK premiere

12:07 PM | Posted by Bela

So Sex and City 2 movie will be showing this coming Wednesday here and my girlfriends are already planning for a movie date so we can watch the movie together on the 5th of June. Unfortunately, hubby is out for a team building on that day which means I have no driver to take me to our meeting place (boo-hoo). Hopefully, I will be able to watch the movie before I give birth as I am ready to give birth anytime soon.

SATC had their UK premiere already and Sarah Jessica Parker honored the late Alexander McQueen, her favorite British designer, by wearing the designer’s strapless gown, bag and heels and accessorizes it with a hat by Philip Treacy. Kim Cattrall on the other hand wore a vintage black gown by Thierry Mugler and Manolo Blahnik heels. Cynthia Nixon wore a green Narciso Rodriguez gown and Christian Louboutin shoes. And lastly, Kristin Davis wore a glittery vintage Norman Norell halterneck gown and a Jimmy Choo shoes and Judith Leiber clutch.

The girls really look stunning and I really can’t wait to see the fashion trends that they will be showcasing in the movie. The girls went out of New York City and setting of the movie is in Abu Dhabi (but it was actually shot in Morocco).

The movie has mix reviews. Some are saying that the first movie is way much better than this. So let us see….I might just have a movie date with hubby…

Grand Reunion

2:56 PM | Posted by Bela

Before I read acneticin reviews, I just like to post these pictures here that I grabbed from my good friend Ems Flickr account.

They are my former colleagues and all of them are living in different parts of the world now – most of them are from different states in the US, the other one from Canada and one from Manila. They had a reunion last weekend and they all traveled to New York City so they can all spend their weekend there. One evening, they even went online to chat with their friends who were not able to make it to their US reunion and who are here in Manila.

Ems was telling me that it was really one fun vacation as she gets to see her old friends again but then she felt really sad when it is time to say goodbye already. But at least they were able to see each other again. Who knows maybe in just a few months they can organize another reunion of their group again and maybe this time they will be complete and even those who are here in Manila can join the next reunion. I am sure it will really be a blast.

On US Vacation

2:56 PM | Posted by Bela

I am green with envy as I checked out the pictures of my good friend Jody as she is in the continental USA right now with her family for a three-week vacation there. They have been driving from Old Temecula to Las Vegas, Reno, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Los Angeles, and San Diego (I am sure their RV have good sam mechanical breakdown insurance with all the driving that they have been doing). It is really an amazing race vacation with all the driving and running around but I am sure it was fun as they get to visit a lot of places during their three weeks stay there.

The last picture I saw from Jody’s Flickr account was their trip to the Grand Canyon. I have never been here and it was really a breathtaking view that I am hoping that we can visit Grand Canyon too next time we go to the US. I think their itinerary for this week is Disneyland and Sea World so I am sure her kids will really have a blast.

Oh, I can’t wait for our family to have a vacation in the US also.

I Love Desserts

12:57 PM | Posted by Bela

We were at Robinson’s Place Ermita last night to pick up the Iphone of my sister from Globe and I saw this Cocktails and Dessert store:

“STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS." I just find this cute. I really love to eat sweets and desserts. Could it be that I am so stressed out and eating desserts is my outlet? I think not. Maybe I just have a passion for eating sweet foods.

During the first trimester of my pregnancy when I was having morning sickness I hate the taste of sweets. But after my first trimester, my appetite is back that I always have desserts after eating lunch. No wonder I gained so much in this pregnancy. LOL. Now my doctor is saying that there is a big chance that I will deliver via Caesarian Section again because I am bigger now compared to my first.

Oh well, at least I get to enjoy my sweets and desserts.

1.11.2011

11:46 PM | Posted by Bela

January 11, 2011 is the date when my good friend from college will finally say goodbye to his bachelor days and will tie the knot with her long time girlfriend. I can’t wait to see him wear his tuxedo for this special day.

They already booked San Agustin church in Intramuros as their church venue. They asked for my help to book Baluarte de San Diego as their reception venue as it is our reception venue when hubby and I got married. My uncle, who works for IA, handled the booking and they are already penciled book for the venue.

It is June already next week which means that we are already half way through 2010 which means that they only have seven months left to plan their wedding. I am sure they are hands-on couple too like us who are planning and preparing their wedding but I told them that I am just an SMS away if ever they need help for their wedding preparations.

And by the way, B will be one of the flower girls and his partner will be the son of my friend that is why I am doubly excited for this wedding.

Demystifying Collision Insurance

12:35 PM | Posted by Bela

Collision insurance is one of those add-ons to auto insurance policies that most people tend to ignore, since the law does not make it mandatory. Most governments only make third party insurance coverage compulsory, so people tend to shy away from paying for collision coverage. Most of the time, it is opted for only when the vehicle is leased.

As the name suggests, collision cover is the component that protects the driver from damages caused by collision. The collision could be with other vehicles, objects, or people. It also covers damage caused by single-car events like rollovers, or damage by potholes. The best part is that collision cover holds irrespective of who is at fault.

Collision cover and comprehensive cover are usually sold as a single bundle to auto insurance customers, but it is possible to avail of them separately. Comprehensive cover is for instances like vandalism, fire, attacks, inclement weather, and other such situations which can damage a vehicle. Improper maintenance, vehicle contents and tires are not included here. Both these options are usually insisted on if a vehicle has been financed; in case the vehicle is destroyed collision cover can provide funds to repay the loan. Most vehicle financiers insist on collision cover to provide a loan in the first place.

The quantum of collision insurance needed would depend on various factors like the age and track record of the driver, anticipated mileage, and car value. The newer the vehicle, the more important it is to get collision insurance. This will help cover repair costs in the event of an accident. Towing and salvage charges are also included in the package. What's more, collision insurance helps cover the book value of the vehicle in case it gets totaled; this provision makes it easier to get a substitute vehicle.

Bon Appetit

12:32 PM | Posted by Bela

An apple a day, keeps the doctors away. That’s what the saying says but this apple has been sitting on my table for two days now and I haven’t touched it yet. This should have been my breakfast so at least I am eating something healthy but instead I settled for double chocolate chip muffin yesterday and Cinnamon Swirl and Strawberries and Cream Frapuccino (coffee free) for today. I will have a check up again this Saturday so let us see how many pounds I gained after two weeks.

Ever since I learned that there is a big chance that I might deliver via Caesarian Section again, I haven’t been monitoring what I eat and my diet. What’s the point of starving myself right? LOL. My doctor said that this pregnancy is bigger than my first so she might not let me go into labor anymore and just have a scheduled CS delivery

And for my lunch, I am having this, Mongolian Beef Bowl.

Bon Appetit everyone.

The Quick Guide to Becoming an Affiliate

12:59 PM | Posted by Bela

Are you sold on the idea of affiliate programs, but unsure of how to go about it? Here's a quick guide on how you can become an affiliate to make money from such programs.

The first thing is to identify the niche occupied by your blog or website and shortlist merchants related to that sphere. The connection doesn't always have to be a direct one though. For instance, your site on gadgets could link to a gadget merchant as well as a book site that sells related books. Don't forget the geographical spread of your readers. It wouldn't make sense to link to a merchant who doesn't ship internationally if most of your readers are from another country.

It also makes sense to do some research on the merchant's site and credibility. You wouldn't want to associate yourself with inferior service or quality. Ask around to know more about the merchant's promptness with settlements. It is best to stay clear of hazy compensation plans and unreliable tracking software.

Now for the actual process. Most affiliate networks have their own website; visit the site to sign up with a few basic details about your online activity. The administrators will then do an assessment of your page or site; if it is a good fit, you will be accepted into the program. You will then be guided through the process of setting up the links and tracking software. Details of the compensation scheme and minimum payouts will also be communicated to you. Some programs charge a yearly fee from the affiliate.

Becoming an affiliate is quite easy, but generating revenue requires constant effort. There are numerous guides online and offline on how content can be optimized to draw relevant traffic to your page, and thereby to your merchant. Good affiliate programs often give their associates free training in this regard, and reward good performances with incentives.

Four Technologies to Consider in Your New Home

12:56 PM | Posted by Bela

Have you been considering building a new home? If so, have you thought about the various new technologies that you can include to make your life in your new home more comfortable? There have been many advancements in recent years to make life more enjoyable. Here are a few things to consider installing in your new home.

Roofline Electric Outlets
If you enjoy decorating for Christmas, installing some electrical outlets near the roofline of your new home will make the process more convenient. With these outlets, you can plug in your rooftop Christmas lights without the hassle of using every extension cord you own to reach the outlet in the garage. Install several of these outlets so you can go crazy with the lights this year.

Energy Efficient Insulation
With the advancements in heating and energy efficiency in recent years, it is no longer necessary to pay the heating bills that come out to hundreds of dollars a month. With the latest Energy Star technologies, you can cut your heating bills in half or even less. One of these technologies includes electric underfloor heating which uses radiant heat to heat your floors rather than heating the air. It's more comfortable and it saves a bunch of money on your heating bills.

Heated Driveways
Since you are saving so much on your heating bill, why not install heated driveways if you live in climates that get a lot of snow and ice during the winter? This is the perfect way to keep your driveway from becoming slick and dangerous with the snow and ice covers it. Simply activate the heating element and watch the elements melt away without even lifting a finger.

Rooftop Deck
Installing a rooftop deck on your new home gives you an area where you can get away from the everyday hassles and look over the neighborhood. It's great for a romantic evening with your spouse or for sunbathing, gazing at the stars and more.

My New Toy

7:32 PM | Posted by Bela

I got this from Globe last Friday.

It is supposed to be for hubby but being the loving and giving husband that he is, he offered that I get this new Iphone 3GS and he will just have my old Iphone 2G. Of course I was all smiles when I heard hubby’s offer and who can say no to that offer right?

I only took it out of its box yesterday as I have to wait for hubby to arrive so he can set up the phone for me and so far I am really loving my new phone. It has voice control, a 3 megapixels camera and a video camera which I don’t have on my old phone. I was able to use the video camera this afternoon when B attended her swimming class and the video and pictures that I shot is really clear because its camera has an auto focus feature. And since it has 32 GB capacity, I can shoot as many videos and pictures as I want of B.

I haven’t really explored some of its features yet but I must say that I am really loving my new toy.

Cheap Cruises for Your Interests

7:16 PM | Posted by Bela

Cruise lines make it possible for people to truly get away from it all without having to leave behind conveniences such as private bathrooms, movie theaters, and restaurants. If you are looking for a vacation opportunity that allows you to relax, meet interesting people, and forget about the daily grind of your life, then you should investigate cruises that will appeal to you.

Cruises for Singles

It's not a lot of fun being single on vacation, unless, that is, you choose a singles cruise that will help you meet other people who are interested in finding a special someone. Singles cruises make it easy for people of all ages, interests, and sexual orientations to meet each other. What happens after that is up to you. Many cruise companies even focus on certain demographics. Seniors, for instance, might choose a singles cruise that focuses on people who are 65 or older.

Cruises for Specific Interests

Some cruises even cater to people with specific interests. If you want to experience gourmet French cuisine, then there is a cruise line that will provide all of the foie gras and duck confit that you can consume. If you follow a certain religion, then you can sign up for a cruise that focuses on important topics within that set of beliefs. You can even explore historically or scientifically important areas such as the Galapagos Islands or Antarctic coast.

Finding Cheap Cruises

No matter what your interests are, you can use the Internet to find cheap cruises that will appeal to you. There are countless websites that offer package deals and discounts that can help you save money on your vacation. Some of them even include airfare so that you don't have to worry about booking airplane reservations to the cruise boat's departure city.

A Few Things to Know When You Buy Levitra

7:13 PM | Posted by Bela

If you experience erectile dysfunction (ED), you need to consider several different factors. For example, some of the factors to be considered are side effects, proper dosage amounts, and guidelines for taking the drug. As with all other types of drugs (prescription and non-prescription), you may experience some side effects including facial flushing, aching muscles, and headaches.

You can buy Levitra in small doses of 20mg, 10mg, and 5mg, and typically show relatively low side effects. Levitra is a prescription medicine that is used to treat ED. If you're over 50 years old, you can purchase Levitra in lower doses. Men aged 50 and above are more susceptible to side effects from the medication. As with all prescription drugs, it's always a good idea to consult your doctor before taking Levitra. Don't mix Levitra and alcohol; the result can lower your blood pressure severely.

The following are some cautions to adhere to before taking Levitra:

1. You should take Levitra on an as-needed basis. In other words, when you plan on having sex.

2. Don't take Levitra along with any nitrate-based drugs. A combination of both can be fatal.

3. Don't purchase or take any type of over-the-counter, erectile dysfunction medications without a prescription. It's illegal to purchase Levitra (or any other prescription medication) without a prescription.

4. Avoid taking any medication that may conflict with the ingredients found in Levitra. These medications can be purchased over the counter and should be avoided.

5. Levitra has been known change your vision temporarily. Prepare yourself for occasional side effects.

The usual dosages for the branded version of Levitra are 20mg, 10mg and 5mg. You may find different (or generic) versions of Levitra in different dosages. Levitra works well for males with erectile dysfunction and problems with impotence. However, before you take the drug, it's always a good idea to consult your doctor or pharmacist beforehand.

For My New Toy

7:09 PM | Posted by Bela

Since I got a new toy, I am now on the look out for a case to protect my new phone. I asked my brother to bring home a silicon case for me from our store but I wanted something unique and cute for my chic phone. LOL.

And so I discovered these cases from an online store called Uncommon:

Their products start as a blank canvass and you can have it customize with your own images or with artwork from their gallery. Then these images are transferred ink deep into the case’s surface. This Capsule Case is the sleekest, most durable, twin-shot case on the market. But if you don’t want to wait for a customized capsule case, they also have available pre-made cases that you can order anytime.

I just find it a bit pricey though ($39.95) because it is out of my budget so I am still thinking if I should shell out extra money for this cute and unique capsule case.

Road to Recovery

11:37 AM | Posted by Bela

The first step is admission and my friend has gotten to first step already as he already admitted to his family that he needs professional drug treatment to help him with his drug addiction problem. We noticed that he has been really depressed lately and we already suspected that he might be using drugs to help him with his depression. But we are all glad that he has gotten back to his senses and has finally taken the first step to solve his problem.

That is why we are helping his family look for a drug rehab center where my friend can be admitted and that is when we found out about Axis House. Axis House is a drug and alcohol treatment center and they are the top drug and alcohol residential treatment center in Los Angeles.

What is good about their program is that they use a 12-Step therapy that is individualized based on their patient’s needs to address both the mental and physical problem of the patient. Also, my friend will not feel that he is in a rehabilitation center since the center is equipped wit health focused amenities like a gym, a massage therapy center and he can even join yoga class or go hiking.

I am really hoping that this will be the start of recovery for my friend.

On Investment

11:11 AM | Posted by Bela

It has been years already since we first heard the news about the global economic recession but up to know, we can still feel its effects. Even at work, budget cuts and employee lay offs have been done to save money as they can still feel the crunch of the global recession.

That is why hubby and I are thinking that we should not only rely on our work to earn for our family but we should start investing also. One of the things that we are considering is to buy gold bullion. Gold bullion is a good investment as it doesn’t depreciate in time and is widely accepted so we can easily convert it to cash anytime and anywhere we are. It is also not difficult to store as we can store it in a small safety box at home or have it stored in a local bank.

I am now checking the website of Gold Coins Gain to learn more about gold and bullion investing. Their experienced staff can definitely help us get the best value available in the market so we will definitely get value for our money.

Dream Mode Again

10:53 AM | Posted by Bela

I can’t help but be green with envy after seeing Jody’s pictures in Flickr while her family is on a three-week vacation in the US. I especially love their Lake Tahoe trip and I watched as she and her kids played in the snow, make snow angels, and make a snowman. How I wish we can go there with B as I am sure she will really love it. Next week, I think, is their trip to Los Angeles and visit Disneyland.

Now I am hoping that hubby will have training again in the US next year so we can all go on a US vacation. We have enough miles already for one free round trip ticket to the US and since hubby's airfare is care of his company, then we just have to pay for B and baby boy’s airfare which I think is 25% off.

I already have our itinerary planned. We will just visit our friends in Los Angeles and go to Disneyland and Universal Studios and then we will visit hubby’s relatives in New York so we can go to the Central Park Zoo (which I am sure B will love) and check out the Statue of Liberty.

Oh, just dreaming of our US vacation with our kids makes me feel excited already. I hope we will be able to do this sometime soon.

New Investment for Us

11:49 AM | Posted by Bela

Investing in Real Estate is always a smart move as real estate properties appreciate in time. That is why hubby likes researching and checking for available real estates in the markets for our investment.

After doing his research, he discovered about Tamarindo Real Estate as it is becoming one of the most popular real estate markets today. Hundreds of condo and house developers are investing here and are starting to construct properties here that they can sell.

The secret of this place is its location which is along the beach of Costa Rica. And although the place is booming with condos and nice houses, you will still feel close to nature as they see to it that they adhere to conservation standards when they developed the property.

Owning a property such as this is really one of our dreams. Hope someday soon, we will talk to a Tamarindo realtor and avail one of their properties.

Owning a Pool is a Mood Booster

6:26 AM | Posted by Bela

When you're dealing with a case of the blues, nothing puts you right faster than a swim. When you have a pool at home, you have the choice to engage in "aquatic therapy" and above ground pools are ideal when getting a pool of your own. With your own pool, you have peace and privacy and don't have to worry about driving somewhere to swim, getting in your car sopping wet, and feeling self conscious about wearing a bathing suit in public. Above ground pools are a quick and easy option that give you all the benefits conveniently at home.

Swimming is extremely therapeutic for a number of reasons. Vitamin D, which is absorbed through the skin from sunlight, is a major powerhouse when it comes to fighting depression. Just a few minutes in the sun can turn your spirits around quite dramatically. Swimming is an activity that many kids joyfully engage in exercise for hours at a time and just repeating the actions that made you happy as a kid can trigger you to subconsciously respond with happy feelings without even fully understanding why you feel good again. Exercise has long been known to majorly boost low moods but when you are feeling glum, the last thing you want to do is put on your workout shoes and sweat to the oldies. Swimming is an emotionally easy commitment and you'll be re-infusing your system with oxygen and your blood will be pumping without feeling like you're exerting yourself in a strenuous way.

Many people have long reported that water itself, its sound, the motion of swaying in the gentle waves, and the feeling of weightlessness are soothing to the soul. Being able to access the benefits of swimming whenever you want to will definitely improve the overall quality of life that you enjoy. Having an above ground pool at home is an investment in yourself.

Zoobic Safari?

6:24 AM | Posted by Bela

Hubby wants us to visit this place next week:

My mom was talking about it the other day as she saw it being featured in one of the local shows and so hubby got the idea of us visiting the place next weekend. Hubby will have no work on the 31st as it is a non-working holiday for their company so he is suggesting that we spend overnight in Subic and then we will visit Zoobic Safari the next day.

I am sure B will love the place as she is just crazy for animals but I heard it is so hot there as it is an open area since it is a safari and with temperature ranging now from 35-37 degrees C, I don’t think it is the best time to visit. And just imagining myself being close to a big tiger or riding a jeepney while the tigers are on the loose makes me really want to think twice about this vacation that hubby is planning. LOL.

We’ll see…We still have a lot of things to finish for our room renovation project so hubby might just use this weekend instead to finish his project as baby boy is due to arrive soon.

How to Compare Mortgage Rates

6:15 AM | Posted by Bela

As you prepare to purchase a home, you'll frequently hear and read that you should compare mortgage rates to get the best possible deal. However, if you're a first time home buyer, chances are you're overwhelmed and not quite sure what to look for as you wade through all the information you'll find online. When you've decided to shop around for the best deal on a mortgage, here are a few things to consider.

Closing Costs

Closing costs will vary from lender to lender. This in one area where you may be unable to negotiate. These costs are things like taxes, escrow fees, and more. They add up quickly, but are a crucial part of your loan amount.

Interest Rates

Interest rates are also different from one lender to another. Shop around and compare the rates that different lenders offer. You may be surprised at how much the interest rate varies from bank to bank, so be sure to choose the lowest rate possible. Take a few minutes before you speak with lenders to research the national rate. You should also be aware of whether your lender is offering a fixed or adjustable rate mortgage. A fixed rate will stay the same for the life of your loan, while an ARM will vary over time as national interest rates fluctuate.

Mortgage Term

You'll also want to evaluate whether you'd like a 15 or 30 year mortgage. A mortgage of a longer length will have lower payments, but you'll also pay more interest over time. If you'd like to get the lowest possible price on a home mortgage, your best bet is to save up a large down payment and choose a 15 year mortgage. This allows you to maximize your principal payments, while keeping the amount of interest you pay as low as possible.

Silver Commodities: Investing Wisely

6:13 AM | Posted by Bela

You remember a time when you were adventurous, when every day was considered a challenge to conquer, to defy. You were brave. You were eager. But that time is gone. It vanished as childhood was replaced to the worries of life and economy. You fret now over money; you lament your budget; and you wonder always what you're meant to do. Dollars become stale when not invested, but you're terrified to lose them. Investments beckon but always seem to fail. You're uncertain of your choices. You think nothing can be done, but it can. With silver commodities, you can find new hope for the future.

The market is capricious. You know this. You have watched the numbers fall, seemingly unable to rally themselves. But they eventually will; history has proven that. The years will pass and profits will be found. Silver will simply help to usher them in more quickly.

Because it is a truly precious metal. Found in almost all facets of daily routine, it has become a necessity; and, through that, it has made itself an investment filled to potential. All silver commodities promise one thing: security. With the demand for them reaching ever-increasing heights, there can be no doubt that they will offer those who choose them a reward. It will not be instant, and it will not be easy; but it will be seen.

With silver, you refuse the all too common ploy of fast dollars and weak sense. You instead develop success with careful hours and patience. Wisdom is not a frantic thing. It requires time. And these commodities will offer profit if you are willing to wait.

The future does not have to be a dull one. It can instead be bright. Silver will provide relief and reward. You simply have to offer it trust in return.

White Cheese Pizza

6:09 AM | Posted by Bela

White Cheese Pizza, one of my favorite pizzas. It has three cheese topped with our famous kesong puti. So yummy. This is available from Kulinarya in Rockwell that is why every time we are in Rockwell, we always see to it that we dine in at Kulinarya to satisfy my cravings.

We were at Rockwell last Thursday. B and hubby went to Kidz Station to look for some toys for B to bring home as promised by her dad while I went to Baby & Co. to check out the prices of the other stuff that we will need for baby boy.

After their shopping, I asked them if we could eat at Kulinarya since I am already starving. We ordered white cheese, Carbanora and Asian Buffalo wings (I was not able to take a picture of the buffalo wings and the pasta since I got so busy eating because I was already so hungry). Hubby and yaya just ate their snack so they just had a few bites and so we have left overs to take home for breakfast the next day.

Next time you are at Rockwell, do try out the White Cheese Pizza of Kulinarya.

He Loves Golf

11:46 PM | Posted by Bela

One of the favorite past time of my boss is to play golf. Every weekend, he will go out of town just so he can play his favorite sport. That is why he is very happy when he discovered about Myrtle Beach golf courses.

His golf buddy shared with him the site http://www.myrtlebeachgolf.net where he checked the Grand Strand area golf courses and he was able to get quotes online instantly. Since then he has been hooked with Myrtle Beach. What he like about Myrtle Beach is that they offer different Myrtle Beach golf packages like Stay & Play and Tee Times Only depending on his preference. He can even get bigger savings and a lot of convenience since he can book his tee-times with the lodging at the same time.

Another nice thing that he like about Myrtle Beach is he can not only play golf but have a relaxing time as well as he can visit different attractions near Myrtle Beach like State Park, gardens and even museums. There are even a lot of places in the area for night life and dining. I am sure my boss will get addicted to Myrtle Beach once he gets to visit and try out this golf course.

Expedia Coupons: The Importance of Comparisons

4:09 AM | Posted by Bela

The vacation of a lifetime is rarely a simple thing. What should be a gather of warm breezes and long nights becomes instead a frustration. Because, while the consequence is always imagined, the process rarely is. The details of each day are forgotten in the promise of perfection. But planning that perfection demands more patience than can be spared. Too many refuse to even attempt it, settling instead for the first choices they can find. This is a mistake and Expedia coupons will easily prove why.

Crafting a vacation often lessens the want for one. The constant searches for price and deductions can irk even the most mildly tempered. And, when emotions turn brittle, too many claim defeat; leaping toward the first flight they encounter and following it quickly with any lodgings they can secure. There is no consideration. There is no concern. They want only to be finished with all things methodical. But this is wrong. Money is wasted and poor choices are made.

Despite the urge to yield, you must instead remember Expedia coupons. With these, you can search for the best fares and most reasonable packages.

This Made His Day

4:06 AM | Posted by Bela

Hubby is an avid Fernando Poe Jr fan. FPJ’s movies are the movies that he grew up watching with his brothers and sisters that is why up to now, he came to really love the King, FPJ.

He even has a collection at home of Fernando Poe Jr’s original DVDs and VCDs. He even monitors eBay and Amazon regularly so he can buy FPJ posters. That is how avid a fan he is of FPJ. So when the King passed away a few years ago, he was really sad and affected. He even went to the wake at Sto. Domingo Church and lined up for a couple of hours to pay his last respect to his idol.

We were at Rockwell last night after hubby and B fetched me from work. Before going home, hubby saw one of the local artists that often play the goons or the bad guy in almost all of FPJ’s movies. Hubby got really excited and he even asked for his picture to be taken with him. I was even teasing him that he was so “jologs” to have his picture taken with a showbiz personality in Rockwell. LOL. But hubby said, if he can’t have a picture with his idol, FPJ, he can settle for the goons. LOL.

The Move

3:49 AM | Posted by Bela

Hubby did not go to work yesterday so he can start cleaning our second room since we plan to move there before the arrival of the second baby. The room that we are occupying right now is quite small already for us that we don’t have room left for the crib of our baby boy.

We have a spare room which right now acts as storage because that is where we store the stuffs that we don’t use anymore. So before we can move in there, we have to de-clutter and organize things. Here is a list of the things we need to do:

• Contact closets Richmond so they can send their Closet Factory designer to work with us to come up with a customized closet design that can help us organize our stuff. We have a lot of things that we need to put in storage, plus we need additional closest for hubby and baby boy so we need them to custom design a closet for us that will not occupy that much space in our room but will provide all the storage that we need.
• Throw away some old stuff that we no longer use and move some of them at our weekend house in the suburbs to free up more room.
• Clean up.

Hubby will be on leave again today to continue cleaning our second room. Hopefully, we will be able to finish this project before baby boy arrives.

Old Jewelry = Cash = New Phone

3:37 AM | Posted by Bela

As I posted in my previous post, hubby lost his Iphone the other day. Now he is using a crappy, old phone suited for our four year daughter. I was really mad at what happened at first but I know it is not his fault. Now I am thinking of buying him a new phone.

But it is the enrollment period and we have a lot of expenses lined up so I am not sure where to get the money to buy his phone. I remember a friend mentioned to me about the cash for gold program of Refinity.

What they do is they buy old gold jewelries and scrap metals. I just need to send them the old jewelry that I am selling and their refinery experts will evaluate its value and will send their quotation to me via email. If I agree with their proposed quotation, they will send a check to me within 24 hours.

I have old earrings and necklace that I haven’t really worn for a long time now so I am thinking to sell it so I can surprise hubby with a new phone. Cell phone is really very important for us as it is our way of communication. As what I always say, cell phones are a necessity nowadays so I am willing to sell my old jewelries so I can afford to buy a new phone for hubby.

Mad…Sad…Glad

3:20 AM | Posted by Bela

Hubby lost his Iphone the other day. He worked overtime and he was able to go home around 12 midnight already. I was still able to talk to him around 11:30 PM. He suspects that he lost it in the cab. He remembered that he received a text message from his boss thanking him for working overtime and maybe he forgot to return it to his bag after receiving the text. And so when he went out of the cab, the phone fell down without him noticing it. Maybe he was so tired and sleepy already that’s why he lost his Iphone.

I was a bit mad at first, not with him but with the situation. That Iphone is my gift for him and I really saved up so I can afford to buy him that. It didn’t even last for a year. But I know that he doesn’t want that to happen and if only he can avoid it, he will do whatever he can so he won’t loose his Iphone.

My mom and my grand mom was even telling me that I should be thankful that at least it is just the phone that he lost and nothing bad happened to hubby. I guess they are right. Sometimes, it is just difficult for me to let go of things.

Centipede Grass and a Stolon Lawn

10:40 PM | Posted by Bela

Lazy Man's Grass

Centipede grass is a hardy, slow-growing grass that propagates by stolons. It creates a low-maintenance, thick lawn that does not need a lot of attention, water, or fertilizer. It grows best in mild climates, with acidic, sandy soil, in which the stolons can spread freely below the surface of the soil. Because it grows slowly, only reaching three to five inches in height, it does not require frequent mowing. It can handle light freezes and moderate drought, thrives in full sun or slight shade, and is a popular lawn grass throughout the southern United States.

What Is a Stolon?

A stolon, in botany, is a stem that grows sideways from a plant and can grow roots from a node at the end. A stolon runs along the top of the ground or just under the surface of the soil. When the end takes root, it produces a clone of the original plant. When new plants grow from a stolon, they have the same genetic code as the original. Above-ground stolons are often called runners. In centipede and other grasses, the stolons are supposed to grow underground, where they create a thick web of roots which crowds out weeds. Never give it nitrate fertilizer, which causes the stolons to grow above the ground as runners. It needs only a light application of phosphorous in the summer.

Strawberry plants have above-ground stolons, or runners. Spider plants do too. When you look at a spider plant, it often has several smaller plants hanging down at the end of stolons. Potato plants have unusual stolons that form tubers to hold a food supply. The new shoots and roots grow from the "eye" of the tuber, or potato. In healthy grasses, like centipede, they create a lush, thick lawn the whole family can enjoy.

More Shopping for Baby Boy

10:32 PM | Posted by Bela

They are here, the baby stuffs that I ordered for Baby boy arrived last week. I was expecting it to arrive late this week so I was really surprised when hubby called me last week to give me the good news that he is already bringing home that stuffs that I ordered from Amazon.

My box contains:

IMG_0535
6 pcs 9 oz BPA free Avent bottles
4 pcs 4 oz BPA free Avent bottles
1 pc Bottle brush
1 pc Baby Delight Deluxe Snuggle Set (co-sleeper)

This are really good buys because I checked multiply sellers and they are selling the bottles at P900+ each when I only got it at $12 I think for the two bottles. Now I am contemplating if I should buy the Avent electric breast pump or not. I seriously want to try breastfeeding this time but I am not sure if I can really be dedicated to it especially since I will be going back to work after two months. Think, think, think…

Carrie Diaries

10:13 PM | Posted by Bela

After I saw this book from Glo’s Flickr page, I vowed that I should get a copy before the showing of the Sex and the City movie on June 2. And so when we went to SM last night to do our grocery shopping, I see to it that I will have the time to drop by at National Bookstore to get the book.

Carrie Diaries is another book written by Candace Bushnell. It is the story of Carrie before she discovered the world of men, designer bags, plus size lingerie, and New York City. This book is a coming-of-age story of Carrie Bradshaw. It is a story about his life when she was in senior year in high school, about her past friendships and relationships, her family background and how these adventures have turned her into a brilliant writer.

I can’t wait to get hold of this book so I am rushing to finish all my to dos so I can finally lie down in bed and enjoy the company of Carrie Diaries.

Manny Pacquiao's # 1 Fan

9:59 PM | Posted by Bela

Hubby is a big fan of the Philippine’s pride and glory when it comes to boxing, Manny Pacquiao. I think he never miss any of Manny’s fight. The only time he missed a fight was when he was out of the country and when the fight was scheduled on the same date as my daughter’s christening. But even if he missed the fight, he will surely watch the replay at night or he will buy the DVD of the fight to watch it. That is how avid a fan he is of Manny.

So when he saw the new store of Manny Pacquiao, Team Pacquiao, at Robinson’s Place he immediately went inside to check out the items for sale. Of course he did not go home empty handed as he bought this, a shirt of Manny Pacquiao with Manny’s signature on it.

He was having second thoughts at first as it is a bit expensive but then he went back to the store before going home to get the shirt. He said that he will not use it but he will have it framed for display. Hubby is one happy camper…

Vacation Plans

12:46 PM | Posted by Bela

Ever since I found out that I was pregnant, we were not able to go on vacation as I was advised by my doctor to take it easy as I am having a difficult pregnancy. I am already on my 8th month and as early as now, I am already planning for a vacation for my family.

Our family, especially our daughter loves the beach and so we are considering booking Myrtle Beach hotel reservations for this vacation. I checked out their site at http://www.seasidemb.com and I fell in love with the place.

What I like about Myrtle Beach Accommodations is that it is located directly on the ocean so the beach is just a few walks away from our rooms. They also give 4 star services which is what I like because we will be traveling with two kids in tow, a toddler and our newborn, so getting 4-star services is definitely a big plus. They also have a lot of amenities like pools, lazy rivers, Wifi access and a golf course so I am sure we will never run out of things to do during our stay.

I really hope that this trip will push through as I can’t wait to go on a vacation with my family.

Matching Clothes for me & B

10:48 PM | Posted by Bela

As I posted on my previous post, I did some shopping today for B at Twilo. Twilo is one of my favorite stores at Robinson’s Place. Their collection is really so cute, cheek and trendy and what I like most about their store is that they sell matching clothes for mother and daughter.

This pink dress that I bought for B had a matching pair for me but I am too pregnant already to wear a sexy dress like this (I better start looking for top diet pills so I can go back to my pre-pregnancy weight right away.) The price was a steal too as it is at 50% off.

I love it every time B and I wear matching clothes. Even strangers approached us just to tell us how cute we are. I stopped buying for matching clothes for me and B since I got pregnant but I can’t wait to shop for matching clothes again for us and that is one of my top things to do after I give birth.

Shopping Day

10:29 PM | Posted by Bela

It’s shopping day today. After my check up and B’s drum lessons at Yamaha, we went to Robinson’s Place Ermita. They are having a three day sale and we are lucky since we got a parking spot right away as soon as entered the parking lot.

We promised B yesterday that we will buy her a scooter today as she did a good job with her Magic Strokes class. (Her teacher said that she now knows how to hold the pencil properly and she can write independently.) And so this is her price:

While at the mall, I remembered that I have to buy her a sun-protect swimsuit that she can use for her last four remaining sessions with Aqualogic. On our way to Speedo, I saw the window display of Twilo and got interested with their new collections. So I end up buying these items for B:

The pink dress was at 50% off from Twilo and the shorts and blouses are all at 10% off. The orange sun-protect swimsuit was on sale too at 20% off. I am happy with my purchases for today and B was really happy too with her new toy.

RL Shopping

12:32 AM | Posted by Bela

I would have wanted to buy this for baby boy and hear the sound of the tm-t88iv thermal printer as it prints the receipt of my purchases, but too bad I can't afford it as Ralph Lauren clothing are very expensive here (like x2 or x3 than the price in the US).

Ralph Lauren had a private sale last week where they offer additional 30% discount to your purchases so I started adding items on my shopping cart. And since I selected from their Sale items which area already discounted at 15% off that means almost 50% discount on my purchases.

But Ralph Lauren online site is a bit strict as they don’t accept international issued cards. I even asked a friend from the US to purchase it online for me using her PayPal account but it was not accepted also.

Too bad. Those are really good buys. But I already spoke to another friend who was able to successfully purchase online using her PayPal account so next time RL have a sale, these items will definitely be on my list for baby boy.

Still Very Busy

1:07 PM | Posted by Bela

My work load is up to my neck already but I am glad because this means more extra cash for me. But I have been really having a hard time working at home that is why I was so unproductive last weekend and I only started working on my back log last Monday night (bad me).

Right now, my setup is that I just put the laptop on my lap while in bed as we have no space for a computer table in our room. So it is really difficult for me to work in our room now because my tummy is so big already that my back will start to ache after sitting for long hours. Add to that the fact that it is so hot and humid (even with the air conditioning on) that it really makes me so uncomfortable that I end up just lazing around instead of working.

So I was really requesting from hubby to set up an office space for me, complete with office supplies and office furniture, in our second room so I can work more comfortably. I am planning to buy a new computer table for my laptop, a comfortable office chair and I will really spice it up with nice office supplies and decorations to get me inspired to work. I have been doing a lot of writing lately that I really need all the inspiration to get the job done.

Hubby and my dad is already planning for the renovation of our second room and their target is to finish it before baby boy arrives so I just have to wait for a few more days before I can finally work in my own office at home.

HSBC’s Starbucks with Every Swipe Promotion

11:36 PM | Posted by Bela

I got this Strawberries and Cream tall drink for free from Starbucks. Thanks to HSBC’s Starbucks with Every Swipe Promotion.


To avail of a tall drink from Starbucks, HSBC cardholders must make a single receipt purchase of at least P2,000 on his/her credit card during the promo period. To redeem any of the Strabucks beverages, the cardholder must present his/her HSBC credit card and surrender the valid original credit card charge slip at any Starbucks branch.

This promo is from April 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010. Redemption period is from April 15, 2010 until August 30, 2010.

Out of the dozens and dozens of charge slip that I have for April, I only have one receipt amounting to P2,000. LOL. At least now I know that I should accumulate my purchases so I can collect as many P2,000 single receipt as I can for a free Strabucks drink.

For Their Security

11:07 PM | Posted by Bela

Now that our family is growing with the coming of our second child, hubby and I have been discussing and we both agree that we should really have a way to secure their future and one way of obtaining this is by getting a life insurance for us so we will have the security and peace of mind that no matter what happens to us, our kids future will be secured.

I started looking for term life insurance and I am really thankful to have discovered the site of Buytermlife. From their site, I can easily check for life insurance rates by just filling out an online form and after just a few minutes, I will be presented with different quotes from different companies for easy comparison. What is also nice about them is that they search and monitor different life insurance companies so I will be sure that I will get the best offer in terms of coverage and price.

The security of our children’s future is really something that is on top of our priority. We have been working really hard to give them a bright future and with term life insurance, we will be guaranteed that no matter what happens to me and hubby, our children’s future will still be secured.

My Breakfast

12:35 PM | Posted by Bela

I have been having this for breakfast for two days in a row now:

Strawberries and Cream and Cinnamon Swirl from Starbucks. I know, I know this is not healthy for me especially I am already on my last trimester of pregnancy (I really need to read about diet pill reviews as I will surely need to take one to help me get back to my pre-pregnancy weight fast). I haven’t visited my OB yet so I am not sure how much weight again since my last checkup. I was supposed to have my checkup last Saturday but it is the funeral of my grandfather so I will be visiting my doctor instead this Saturday.

We haven’t discussed also about my birthing plan. I had a Caesarian Section delivery for my first child but it has been almost five years already so hopefully my OB will allow me to try normal delivery.

Just one more month to go and I will be able to see my prince.

My 5 Bats DZI Bracelet

12:28 PM | Posted by Bela


This is my 5 bats DZI bracelet. Hubby and I both decided to have the 5 bats DZI since we thought that aside from wealth, we need luck too in other aspects especially our health and our career.

I was born in the Year of the Snake and so I need the power of wood to protect me. The color of wood is green and so the owner of the store said that she will make a bracelet for me with green colors. She showed me all her green-colored beads and I decided to go for the jade stones for my bracelet.

The components of my 5 bats dzi bracelet are:

• 5 bats dzi bead
• the green beads for health
• the red bead for my mantra or protection
• the yellow bead for wealth
• the jade stones, which are all color green for good luck and protection

Hubby's 5 Bats DZI

10:37 PM | Posted by Bela

This is hubby’s 5 bats DZI.

We chose the 5 bats dzi beads since according to the store owner, it is for overall protection and good luck.

Hubby was born in the Year of the Rabbit and so he needs the power of water to protect him. The color of water is either blue, black or gray. Hubby preferred the colors black and gray as it is more masculine and so the owner used these two colors for his dzi bracelets.

Starting from the 5 bats dzi, the next bead is a gray bead which is for hubby's health. The next black bead is for his mantra (protection) and the owner also puts the beads for wealth. The rest of the beads are gray, which from what I recall, is for hubby’s protection.

Like what I said in my previous post, there is nothing to loose if we try out this lucky charms, right?

Happy With Our Car

10:33 PM | Posted by Bela

On our way home from work today (yes I know it is a holiday and we have to go to the office to work, bummer), we saw a taxi driver who is fixing his flat tire. Hubby reminisce our time when we still have an owner type jeep as our means of transportation. Then we were able to save a little money and were able to buy a second hand car. But since it is second hand, a lot of times it will break down and we would always rely on 24 hour towing service for emergency road assistance.

It is really difficult to rely on our second hand car. We can’t even bring it for long driving as we are not confident that it can take us to our destination. We brought it for check up and repair many times but since it is a little old already, the problem keeps coming back.

So we were really lucky because finally, we were able to afford to buy a brand new car last year. We got a car loan and we were able to find an affordable car that we can afford the monthly amortization. It has been a year since we bought the car and we haven’t experience any major car problems.

We are really happy with our decision to buy a brand new car as at least now, we don’t have to always worry that our car will break down anytime.

I am a shoe gal

9:33 PM | Posted by Bela

I was reading the buyer’s guide on wedding shoes as I promised my friend that I will help her find the perfect wedding shoes for her wedding this month. But then I remembered that I need to look for shoes too.

I am already on my 7th month of pregnancy and my feet is a little swollen that almost all of my shoes that I used to wear when I was still not pregnant no longer fits me anymore. I saw this Kate Spade sandals which I think will be so comfortable and comfortable shoes is what I really need right now since my tummy is getting bigger and bigger and I am really finding it hard to walk.

And since I am into shoe shopping already, I also checked out some nice biking shoes for hubby. He just purchased a new bike since his doctor advised him that he needs go on a diet so he has to go back to some of his sports to help him loose weight and as a supportive wife, I am planning to buy him a new shoes so he will be inspired with his new hobby.

I really love shoe shopping!

DZI Beads

9:03 PM | Posted by Bela

Do you believe in lucky charms? I am a devout Catholic but I figured I will not loose anything if I believe in lucky charms too, right? And besides I know my faith and I still believe that God still controls everything that will happen to us.

But almost all my friends are going crazy about talismans and lucky charms that hubby and I decided to join the bandwagon too. So last Saturday, hubby and I trooped to Binondo to get our DZI bracelets.

From what I remember, most of my friends got the nine eyed DZI bracelets and so that was what I looked for when I went inside New Victory Store. The owner was so accommodating that she showed me the other DZI bracelets that I can choose from. She said that the nine-eyed DZI bracelets are the most popular bracelets but it is mostly about wealth. If I want to be blessed with other aspects like health, career, etc, then there are other DZI bracelets that I can choose from. Below are some of the DZI bracelets that she suggested:

• Nine Eyed DZI: Brings instant wealth and windfall luck. One of the most famous DZI beads.
• Five Bats DZI (this is what we got): Brings longetivity, success, happiness and overall good fortune to the wearer.
• Three eyed DZI: Brings prosperity, longetivity, wealth, honour and success.

On Credit Cards

5:10 PM | Posted by Bela

I just received my credit card bill and I can’t believe that I incurred a late and finance charge for my last month’s due. I know I paid in full but I was late for two days but come on, it is just two days and I already incurred thousand of bucks for late charge?

I will try to call them tomorrow to request for a reversal of the finance charge but I am already looking for credit card offers as I am planning to have this card cut and just get a new one that can give me the best offer.

I only use my card if I know I can pay it in full and I just got really busy last time that I was late for my payment. But if they will check my record, they can see that I have good credit standing so hopefully they will approve my request for a reversal.

On Global Recession & Investments

5:49 AM | Posted by Bela

It has already been more than a year ago when global recession hit the news. I thought that it is just a phase and we will all be able to recover from it soon but it has been years already and we can still feel the effect of the economic crisis.

That is why hubby and I are really thinking to get new investments so we don’t just rely on our salary for our finances. We have been reading the site of United States Gold Bureau where we read a lot of information about gold investments and now we are thinking to buy gold coins.

Ever since, gold has been a known as a good investment as it doesn’t depreciate in time so it is really stable. And since it is widely accepted, we can easily convert it to cash anytime we want.

United States Gold Bureau have experienced staff that can guide and assist us with our investment. They even know the market so well that they can guarantee their clients the best value that we can find in the market.

I am sure this is a good decision for us financially because with gold, we can never go wrong.
