another house to be launch!

Friday, August 28, 2009

Been exchanging emails with a blogger slash mommy friend of mine regarding questions and inquiries on domain and hosting for my other blog, something that I've been neglecting for more than five months or so. Suddenly I just had the urge to run it again, one is because I'm getting bored and tired with my other blogs that I keep on updating, two, I wanted to join the bandwagon of friends who are using the same free blog homes. Good thing, my friend who works as a happens to know someone whom I can get in touch with regards to domain and hosting of my soon to launch new site. Actually, there are many sites that gives network solutions to different woes of people like me, whom is not that particular with the designs and other stuffs related to sites renovation and building. Until I came to saw web hosts by wpdesigner.com a website that teaches those who would want to create on their own a website with their own design that they chose. Or they can also hook you up with professional website designer for you to be able to get your site moving. They even has packages that catches my interests, with very affordable prices that wouldn't make you feel the slash from the pocket.

internet and security

My friend just asked me how was I able to do all those blogging stuff the whole day while being a 100% hands on wife, mom and home maker... the answer?! with the help of my wireless connection and internet security! It has been with me and doing so neat for almost three months now, and let me tell you, my life and my online stints has never been the same! First among the so many positive ways it brings me is that I can bring my laptop anywhere around the house and still enjoys the internet knick knacks and all without the fear of being invaded by virus since I also had install an antivirus! Also, I can also bond with my daughter while I work having her on my side doodling or coloring. And lastly, the practicality it gives me to look after my daughter the whole day wherever whenever while once in a while glancing over my twitter friends chit chats at the same time cooking or watching telenovelas! It is actually called Multi-tasking stints! hahahaha



Anyways, this post made me realize that my unit is really a dependable one, you see, my laptop has been running for almost 24/7 from the start I bought it. And it has never stop nor frustrate me in whatsoever means from the start, well exclude the two days I had to stop working because I had to bring it back to where I got it and have the virus scanned out. But nevertheless, the money spent here is so worthit plus the fact that it has also this anti malware freeby too!!

on gardening

My mom has been bugging me to find and get her Window Box Planters which she can put on our terrace/patio or whatever you might want to call that little receiving nook of my parent's abode. The fact that she loves to garden makes her want to hoard a whole lot of different planter style which she can plant beautiful blooming flowers and some shrubs as well.
It was actually her dream to have a mini garden of almost every nicest plants there is but because of the limited space we have, she only is allowed to plant on Indoor Planters and little pots which she can move from one place to another. But some weeks ago, while we were driving down town, she happens to saw a house with super nice flower planters neatly hanged on the porch!
We had to stop and take a quick view of what the planter is made of and realized that it was indeed made out of plastic! Pretty neat it is, so once we got back to our place, I immediately search on for polyethylene made plant box and found that it can be ordered online at planterixchange.com - which by the way offers free shipping when you order now! a one piece flower planter box which is said to last a life time compare to the other brand that are made of vinyl and is supposed to be assembled before using. So there, I decided to snag some of the site's photos to show them to you guys, see, it's really pretty isn't?!



12 outdated tech terms!

Thursday, August 27, 2009

... that you better not use, or you'll be tag to have stuck on the era of the 80's! lol

1. Intranet

Popular in the mid-90s, the term "intranet" referred to a private network running the Internet Protocol and other Internet standards such as the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It was also used to describe an internal Web site that was hosted behind a firewall and was accessible only to employees. Today, every private network runs IP. So you can just use the term virtual private network or VPN to describe a private IP-based network.

2. Extranet

An "extranet" referred to private network connections based on Internet standards such as IP and HTTP that extended outside an organization, such as between business partners. Extranets often replaced point-to-point electronic data interchange (EDI) connections that used standards such as X12. Today, companies provide suppliers, resellers and other members of their supply chain with access to their VPNs.

3. Web Surfing

When is the last time you heard someone talk about surfing the Web? You know the term is out of date when your kids don't know what it means. To teens and tweens, the Internet and the World Wide Web are one and the same thing. So it's better to use the term "browsing" the Web if you want to be understood.

4. Push Technology

The debate over the merits of "push" versus "pull" technology came to a head in 1996 with the release of the PointCast Network, a Web service that sent a steady stream of news to subscribers. However, PointCast and other push technology services required too much network bandwidth. Eventually, push technology evolved into RSS feeds, which remain the preferred method for publishing information to subscribers of the Internet. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.

5. Application Service Provider (ASP)

During this decade, the term "Application Service Provider" evolved into "Software-as-a-Service." Both terms refer to a vendor hosting a software application and providing access to it over the Web. Customers buy the software on a subscription basis, rather than having to own and operate it themselves. ASP was a hot term prior to the dot-com bust. Then it was replaced by "SaaS." Now it's cool to talk about "cloud computing."

6. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)

Coined by former Apple CEO John Sculley back in 1992 when he unveiled the Apple Newton, the term "personal digital assistant" referred to a handheld computer. PDA was still in use in 1996, when the Palm Pilot was the hottest handheld in corporate America. Today, the preferred generic term for a handheld like a Blackberry or an iPhone is a "smartphone".

7. Internet Telephony

You need to purge the term "Internet telephony" from your vocabulary and switch to VoIP, for Voice over IP. Even the term VoIP is getting old-fashioned because pretty soon all telephone calls will be routed over the Internet rather than the Public Switched Telephone Network. It's probably time to stop referring to the PSTN, too, because it is headed for the history books as all voice, data and video traffic is carried on the Internet.

8. Weblog

A blog is a shortened version of "Weblog," a term that emerged in the late 1990s to describe commentary that an individual publishes online. It spawned many words still in use such as "blogger" and "blogosphere." Nowadays, few people have time to blog so they are "microblogging," which is another word that's heading out the door as people turn Twitter into a generic term for blasting out 140-character observations or opinions.

9. Thin Client

You have to give Larry Ellison credit for seeing many of the flaws in the client/server computing architecture and for popularizing the term "thin client" to refer to Oracle's alternative terminal-like approach. In 1993, Ellison was touting thin clients as a way for large organizations to improve network security and manageability. Although thin clients never replaced PCs, the concept is similar to "virtual desktops" that are gaining popularity today as a way of supporting mobile workers.

10. Rboc

In 1984, the U.S. government forced AT&T to split up into seven Regional Bell Operating Companies [RBOCs] also known as Baby Bells. Customers bought local service from RBOCs and long-distance service from carriers such as AT&T. Telecom industry mergers over the last 15 years have formed integrated local- and long-distance carriers such as AT&T, Verizon and Qwest. This makes not only the term RBOC obsolete, but also the terms ILEC for Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier [i.e., GTE] and CLEC for Competitive Local Exchange Carrier [i.e., MFS].

11. Long-Distance Call

Thanks to flat-rate calling plans available from carriers for at least five years, nobody needs to distinguish between local and long-distance calls anymore. Similarly, you don't need to distinguish between terrestrial and wireless calls because so many people use only wireless services. Like pay phones, long-distance calls -- and their premium prices -- are relics of a past without national and unlimited calling plans.

12. World Wide Web

Nobody talks about the "World Wide Web" anymore, or the "Information Superhighway," for that matter. It's just the Internet. It's a distinction that Steve Czaban, the popular Fox Sports Radio talk show host, likes to mock when he refers to the "Worldwide Interweb." Nothing dates you more than pulling out one of those old-fashioned ways of referring to the Internet such as "infobahn" or "electronic highway."

contacts care

My sister has been begging me to order contact solution for her in the US, you see it has been years since she started using contact lenses well, for fashion purposes. Would you believe that she was able to flaunt several colors already and has tried different brands and types too. But the rant I always hear from her is the availability of a perfect contact care solution for her contacts. Unfortunately, the brand that she likes to use is only available in the US, well as far as she knows. That is why whenever there is a chance for her to ask a friend or order online she does and grabs it. And now that she learned about my shopping loots that's about to be ship anytime next month she makes it a point to bug me and practically beg me to order. Of course I will, wonder why she thinks I wouldn't?! hahaha

pop the pills

Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Thank heavens for cheap medicines that I found thru the help of my friend who is based in the US, she basically bought a lot of pain relief medicines - which I frequently needed because of my migraine attacks and lately, I've been popping back pain relief medicines too, been feeling a lot of stress lately and sometimes I wonder what's causing all this. So what else, oh yeah, ordered arthritis pain relief medicines too for my mom, something that she takes like almost everyday for her joint pains! At least we can save from all the medicine stash unlike buying those locally.

Belts Galore!

Sunday, August 23, 2009
I remember that some months before the husband leave to work in another country, I ordered him a couple of Belts from my friend whBlogger: The KooL BloG - Create Posto is based in Boston. Semi high end designer brand that the husband really like, unfortunately, he has to leave for KSA and the box is still on its way. So what to do? what else! keep it and wait until he comes home and use it without any fancy Belt Buckles, he just doesn't prefer using one, although he use the typical generic one but not the bling bling types.
Speaking of huge belt buckles, I remember how my dad used to strut huge buckled belts during the 80's! it was also the thing that my mom uses to scare us, she'll act as if she'll hit us with that huge wide buckles! Funny how we reminisce those funny times. I wonder where in the world are those buckles! Maybe we can frame those or whatever!

farm life

And now I am so back to being a farmer! yes, farmer in Farm Town! A game application over at facebook it is! :D Actually, I've been hook to that farming thing earlier this year, but became bored and did try other gaming features. Until some two weeks ago I saw some of my friends also so engrossed with that same game! Neighbors requests and farm gifts are overflowing too, and a friend begged me to come back and tend again my farm that has been neglected for quite a while! So there, after the much convincing from my friends, I came back (right after I finish researching about Asbestos legislation and the rest is history, now I am back farming with vengence!

course and college

Saturday, August 22, 2009
Speaking of school and education, if I may be given a chance to study again, I would definitely continue with Accounting course, since only two semesters was left until I finish the said course, before I shifted to Business Management. Actually, it is one of my biggest regrets in life, not finishing the first choice of course in College, who knows, maybe if I was able to do good in studying and was able to finish with flying colors, I might be one of the many eligible accounting staff of the well known Las Vegas Quickbooks Accounting Firm in the US today! We can never tell you know. But we all know that life has a lot of surprises, and maybe, me being able to graduate for the second time around is just one of the many package of surprises! :D

buzz on beauty schools

many beauty school houston are sprouting like mushrooms everywhere in the metro today, simply because more and more students are interested in learning how to make a business out of beauty offerings and such.

business and online selling

how would you like to have an online business at the comfort of your own home? sounds great right? Right. I mean, for somebody like me who chooses life at home with the family over work, something that will help our financial status boost is something that we need right now. but what business or online thing we can venture you ask? there are so many things actually that we can sell online like ready to wear clothes, accessories, make-ups and even auto accessories(which is what the husband is already doing! posting his available stuff online for other car enthusiast to see!) are some of the many items that is a hit for most people. The only problem is actually the capital to be use and how much, it must be really studied well you know, just to be sure that the business will boom.

dentist sked

So it's my month of dental cleaning or whatever you call it. And honestly? I dreaded that. Not that my dentist has a heavy hand that can really cause so much pain during and after the cleaning and other procedure. In fact, he is one famous dentist in our town thus making him the favorite :D It makes me wonder if he's the same with the well known southpark dentist, because I heard that people from there are raving about that dentist being so light handed and really good looking too! Oh well, might probably google more about him and see if the raves are all true :D Going back to my cleaning schedule, am I ready? I wish! hahaha

thankful with web

It's freakin' late and yet here I am, wondering around the world wide web! Done with my usual blog hopping session and some online tasks that are due today. Actually, I'm still waiting for the husband to go online thus making me randomly visit sites of different sites such as site that offers horse supplements among many other products. Sometimes internet can really fascinate you and surprise you at the same time, and really, I'm so glad to you know, be alive in this era where everything can be possible with just a click on a computer. Oh well, speaking of click, I believe the husband just logged in! gotta go and do some chatting with him :D

frugal month

Wednesday, August 19, 2009
So what's up with all the shopping sprees my online friends are so into these days? well, basically we goes slow during the last few weeks. Let's just say that August is just not a shopping month for all of us. Well, actually we sneak in a few cheap clothes snagging online but you know as I've said.. pretty cheap! compare to other online sites that sells signature brands and all, the ones that we got were like the cheapest you can find online since the items are being sold in bulk... and that what makes us online shoppers go gaga over buying a whole lot of stocks, different designs and variations. Oh, now I'm one excited girl. Can't wait for our loots to arrive! woohoo!
Anyways, speaking online buying, one of my former colleague offers me his for sale replica watches that are becoming a hit to my previous office. Well I heard that everyone seems to buying their favorite branded watch replica without practically ripping off their pockets. Now that's what others call being frugal and practical right? So did I get anything from him? nope. not yet. Will try to see his collections and from then I can decide. Will keep you posted, as usual.

off shore banking

Tuesday, August 18, 2009
heard about investing in the famous Offshore Bank Account ? To be honest, I am also a newbie when it comes to the banking system. I am not so aware of the other types of banking besides savings, check, time deposits among the simplest form of it. But while I was doing a review on my sister's research on her accounting subject, I happened to pas by this Offshore thing. Of course I was caught blank minded! It was so new to me, that is why it took me a while before I continue doing the review. But the curious me decided to learn more about this banking way, thank heavens for the internet! by just typing the word that you need to know and hitting the search button I was send to the site of .asset-protection-international.com! It was actually complicated at first, especially if you know nothing about investing, assets and protections of it all combine. But it didn't took me long to understand the gist of everything there. Basically, they cover for companies when it comes to assets and business protections.

5 facebook stuff that can annoys

1. They Hide Their Relationship Status
The beauty of Facebook is that we can instantly find out if a guy is available or off-limits. No 30-minute talk in a bar, trying to suss out if he has a girlfriend waiting for him at home. But if that info is kept a secret, we’re forced to look through and analyze his photos and wall posts to figure it out — which makes us feel like stalkers. Guys: If you’re single, do us both a favor and make that info public knowledge. And if you’re part of a twosome, own up to it. Especially when we’re one of the two.

2. They Block Their Photos
We can understand a guy wanting to keep certain people from viewing his pictures. But seeing as how we’re not his mom, boss, or pastor, it bugs us when we can’t see a dude’s photos. Here’s the thing: We always imagine the worst. So when we’re kept in the dark and can’t click through a guy’s albums, we imagine he’s blowing lines, hooking up with two girls at once, or running around naked at a party. Unfair, but true. He’s not saving his reputation by blocking his photos. In fact, not being able to click on them makes us think a little less of him.

3. They Ask Us Out...in Front of All Our Friends
Next time a guy gets tempted to leave us a wall post that reads, “Let me know if you want to hang out sometime,” he should imagine standing up in front of a room full of our family, friends, ex-boyfriends, and coworkers and then asking us out. Because that’s essentially what he’s doing. We don’t want all 889 of our friends to be a part of the courting. Oh and P.S., we’d appreciate a little more effort. You know, maybe an old-fashioned e-mail or text like we see in those historic romantic comedies.

4. They Detag Themselves in Our Photos
This is the online equivalent of a guy pretending he’s just asking for directions when his friends catch him talking to us. There is something strangely offensive about scrolling through your recently uploaded albums and discovering that a guy you tagged has detagged himself. If a photo of the BBQ he ate last Saturday is profile-worthy, we can’t help but wonder why the nice shots with us get shunned.

5. They Let Their Douchebaginess Show
What is it about Facebook that makes even cool, down-to-earth guys post quotes like “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog,” write status updates that read, “Matt is giving out free mammograms,” and upload shirtless photos of themselves with wannabe-model gazes that they obviously took in the bathroom mirror? Maybe they think it's funny or impressive, but the behavior only makes us roll our eyes and want to start a Website or Facebook group called “Hot Chicks Without Douchebags.”

Forever 21 fan!

Sunday, August 16, 2009
Well yes, I just truly love their selections! Albeit pricey, my friends and I kept on watching for their frequent sales and special promotions where we can freely do our shopping for the nicest clothes :D
And the plaid ones are too die for lately! I would love to have a full wardrobe of every design - which I know is impossible and imaginable! :D
Anyways, without further ado, let me share with you their latest arrivals of dresses - can't wait for these lovely items to go on sale! haha!




Bob or Layered or Cropped?

I've always wanted to boot a really short and out-of-bed style of hair. But since my hair is like a broom-like whenever not blow dried and ironed, I better get the idea out of my head. Funny how people tends to be so obsess when it comes to hair, and yes, call me guilty but I also do and spend a lot when it comes to my hair grooming! Actually, this coming week I have a hair color schedule in my all time favorite stylist (though he frequently transfers from one salon to another!). How I wish to have a great experience on one of those famous salons like hair salon chalfont (maybe I can suggest this idea to my stylist so he can apply to this famous salon).
Speaking of Salon Chaflon, they are very well known to do great full service salon chalfont! they are really pro especially on hair salon chalfont color! How I wish to experience their service you know.Oh well, maybe when the time comes and they decided to put up a branch here in our country, someday! It'll sure be a hit! :D
Anyways, let me just share with you my idea of hair styles! :D

Excited for the Bundle of Joy

Friday, August 14, 2009
One of the best things in being a mom is experiencing it first! nothing can top that happiness, even if you ask other mothers they will surely say that. Imagine being able to know that a little bundle of joy is growing up inside you, it'll just make you the happiest person in the world at that very moment. That is why, preparation for the coming of the lead star is one of the things any expectant mom usually make, just look around your favorite mall and notice how bumpy moms does their strut on the aisle of the baby's section, as if everyone is hoarding a whole lot of stuff! with their baskets and push carts, they scour every shelves and aisles with smile on their faces, imagining their little ones in those onesies and sleeping on those color coordinated Baby Bedding Sets they just placed on their cart.
I remember how I used to hoard a lot of items that my daughter will use until I realized that it was not a bright move after all. Most of her items were left untouched, for she doesn't need so much of everything. That is why I had to keep the items for future gift giving use. Well, at least I was able to use it! But it was a lesson learned indeed, no need to hoard on baby stuff, think of what the baby will use and buy just enough, no matter how happy you are.

Pearls!

One of the many things my mom have in common is the love for jewelry. Not that we own a lot of it but we try to buy and collect every now and then. Actually, we have few pearls collection although I am not sure of what type are those since my mom usually does the buying and I just gave her like certain budget and expect her to maximize the amount. Anyways, earlier this week, while we were watching the lifestyle channel, there was a feature about pearls and jewelries and during the entire show they just talked about blings! oh how it made us really interested and focus on the show! there was a portion where the host introduced akoya pearls and at the same time differentiate it with tahitian pearls and the other types. And yes, we found ourselves really awed from all the wonderful selections! All pretty, and it made us want to own different types of pearls! Really really lovely.





her first step in school

Thursday, August 13, 2009
In merely ten months, dear husband and I will have a pre schooler! oh how time flies so fast isn't?! it was just some two years ago when I gave birth to a healthy baby girl and now, she is way too ready to go to school! Actually, I was just stopped by my mom when we told them of getting Olin into pre school last June, she said that it is way too early and so I give in. But for sure, next school year, she'll be flaunting her uniform and doing her stuff on her nursery class together with her classmates. And soon, we will be buying her school stuff like Childs School Bags with her favorite cartoon character on the facade :D Oh my, it'll sure be fun! Doing all the shopping for uniforms, supplies and snack stuffs too! It just brings good childhood memories... which of course what we want for our daughter too you know.
And school?! we already have a couple of institution on the list, now it's my job to know more details and facts about how they work, for sure a scan on everything first before finally deciding on where to enroll the little one. As I said, still have roughly ten months to prepare! :D

flicks and adults

For weeks now people can't seem to get a hand of me, why? because I make myself busy with a lot of things! Well, not that I intended to be like that for long but just to get myself be preoccupied and not feel sad and lonely. And whenever there are idle moments, I try to search for free online movies, which can practically keep me awake in the wee hours of the night. What I love internet is the hundreds of things you can do with it, like watching movies and stuff! Anyways, while talking to a friend the other night, she told me about their Adult TV like Apple TV box, which her husband usually use in order to download their collections of adult movies! tacky isn't?! but come to think of it, not all adult flicks are filled with bed scenes and obscure scenes, although there are hundreds and thousands of sex and all sex scenes videos but not all are totally bad as it may seem. In fact, movie regulation board are doing their job to classify movies into adult categories not because of the bed scenes and stories, but it all depends on the content, just like heavy war scenes and fights that aren't supposed to be watch by kids, movies that requires intelligent minds in order to ponder the content of the movie amongst the other reasons. So there, were I able to justify the adult flicks!? :D

ssshhh wedding

Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Did you also noticed how destination weddings are being preferred by soon to wed couples? Look for example the recently held silent wedding of Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo. Who would have thought that the famous couple would plan their wedding to be held at a very discrete out of town venue?! It was a huge success when the couple finally pulled it all off, especially when there was no one from the media to know the whereabouts of the said event! Everyone stop what they were doing during the time when it was officially announced the couple's exchange of I do's! Really perfect, and for sure, more and more will imitate the out of town and silent wedding that the couple had! I just wonder now, how much does it cost? probably heftier than the ordinary city wedding. Maybe.

yacking!

back to online blabbing. After a super busy weekend for us all. But although we had a hectic runs here and there, everything went well and as planned. Saturday, we all went to the mall to buy some stuffs for the little girl and for the house, met up with my friend for all the online goodies that I was able to buy two months ago, boy I was at my highest when I saw my loots! Everything was perfect! Anyways, after we put the items at the car we went back to the mall and continue with our mini shopping spree. I was able to almost complete my shopping list, thank God for my mom who suggested good stuff for my godchildren and the other kids on my list. Before we decided to eat our dinner, we went to the supermarket to buy some other things that we need for the house, and supplies for the daughter, bought her pediasure milk :) anyways, while we were in line at the cashier I was able to learn that those milk can be bought online at allegromedical.com! meaning, you wouldn't have to bother going to the supermarkets to buy supplies since they offer auto order of their products! and the fact that they sell out a line of items that are frequently needed in one's household. You might wanna check out their site and see if your supplies are also available.
So there, after a long wait, we had our dinner and went home, tired.

4 Rules of Composition for Landscape Photography

1. Diagonal Lines

Using diagonal lines can be a very effective way of drawing the eye of those viewing an image into it and to the main focal point.

The ‘lines’ need not be actual lines - they could be the shape of a path, a line of trees, a fence, river or any other feature in an image.

Converging lines (two or more lines coming from different parts of an image to a single point) can be all the more effective.

Read more about using Diagonal Lines in your digital photography.

2. Geometric Shapes

By positioning key aspects of a landscape on points of a geometric shape you can help create a balanced composition. Perhaps the most common and easiest way to do this is to use a ‘triangle’ shape between objects in an image with three objects in a frame positioned with one to each side and one more central.

Using Geometric Shapes in this way isn’t something that I’ve done a lot of - but it is one technique to get balance in a shot and if you’re clever, to lead the eye into it (in a similar way to the diagonal lines rule above).

You can see this illustrated (to a point) in the photomontage image to the right.

3. The Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds gets trotted out more often than any other in all types of photography and is one of the first rules of composition taught to most photography students. While sometimes it can feel a little cliche it can also be a very effective technique in landscapes (although keep in mind that breaking this (and other rules) can also produce dramatic and interesting shots).

Position key points of interest in a landscape on the intersecting point between imaginary ‘third’ points in an image and you’ll help give your image balance and help those focal points to really capture attention.

4. Framing Images

While adding points of interest to a foreground is an important technique for adding interest to landscape shots - a similar technique is to ‘frame’ the shot by adding interest to other parts of the edges of an image.

Perhaps the most common way of framing a landscape shot is to include an overhanging branch in the upper section of a shot. Similarly framing a shot with a bridge might work.

home alarm

My father has been looking for the best monitored home security that he can find for my parent's house and for our house also, but he seems to have a very limited time whenever he comes down from the ship during his day off, you see the malls and shops are located in a very faraway location super far from their shipyard. That is why, he asks me to search online to see if I can fin some best reviewed and suggested brand of security systems he can order. You see installing a home security nowadays is a practical thing to do, we are all aware that there are many cases of robbery and even worst massacre cases are being seen and flashed on our television and being read on the newspapers, that is why, it is best to have this thing install in our homes to prevent the bad people from robbing us and steal all our hard earned furniture's and appliances. Yes, we may shell out a good amount of money for a security system but the service it can give us is worth its price. So there, will search the site home-alarm-systems.com for their items, heard that this shop is one of the best that sells out experienced systems, I guess they might be a good brand!

cooking time

During the past few days, mom and I are helping each other on preparing our lunch and dinner. Well actually the reason behind the idea of me cooking is that she wants me to learn how to prepare certain dishes that until now is still vague to my cooking prowess. Anyways, given that issue or whatever, I've decided to do cooking myself with her as my back up. Certain dishes that my family truly loves, dishes that are practically hard to prepare! But since I have no choice, I make sure to really master the dishes.
Anyways, speaking of cooking, mom is also introducing me the use of wood stoves. which she said to be the most efficient method of cooking for it consume less of everything - energy, gas which are known to be expensive. With cooking using wood stoves, not only it helps protect the earth because of it being eco friendly, it also gives additional flavor to the food, making it really tasteful.

cooking and saving

Our Town Fiesta is just a few weeks away thus making the local people already busy on taking care of their poultry pets - which will be slaughtered on the eve of the feast day. Most of them say that being able to raise their own chicken or pig for the said occasion will make them able to save more, we all know how pricey meat products are now and with that, all they have to worry are the other ingredients needed for the cooking of the dishes.
Speaking of ways to save, another thing that are also a hit in this town is by using wood stove. Aside from the fact that they can save money from buying gas for their ranges, they can also help protect the environment because of the fact that using this type of cooking is really eco friendly. But amongst all the reasons behind the use of wood stove is that the taste of the food is really good compare to the gas range cooking! And guess what? myy mom might also do the same thing anytime soon :D

Thursday, August 6, 2009
Mom is just raving about rugs these past few days! She has been going to the mall and checking out house and home departments and canvassing rugs prices, actually comparing her desired styles and design side by side. You see, my parents have plans on renovating our house before the year ends or early next year when dad arrives from the US. Although we are still not sure on what to do like layout of the design and all or if we will just stick with the original design of the house and just fix the stuff that needs repair, repainting of the interiors is also on the top list. With that, mom can't still decide on what color to get for her new rug. I told her that she get the safest hue so whatever the color they decide for the house interior will be, it'll sure still match with the rug that she'll buy. Anyways, speaking of rugs, might order one for my mom from rugcouture.com, a site that offers coutoured fashion rugs that will surely capture a home maker's eyes at an instant! Beautiful designs and array of styles that are so not common! Maybe I should let this site be viewed by mom soon :D
