aftermath

Now that we are so fully aware of the typhoon's aftermath, agencies that usually takes care of the proper waste management are booting their stuff now, big time. They had too, for there are so many things to take care of when it comes to garbage collecting. In fact, all the remains of the flood were just plain trash of all kinds. And those who truly cared can't help but wonder why it has to this way. When all we need to know is the proper handling of garbage and recycling. If only the government gives enough time to focus on the waste management matter, maybe, flood wouldn't be a huge problem at all. Oh well, maybe this is now the time to start making the people know the importance of proper waste disposal since the effect are just about everywhere now, major effect actually. I think, creating ads on on how to do it the right way is a project that government must create in order for the majority of the people be aware and practice as soon as possible. Maybe it's not too late, I believe we still have time to practice proper waste disposal and recycling. After all what happened? truly a lesson learned.

food to fertilizer

My niece called earlier today to asked me about food recycling. And guess what, it took me a while to remember everything - those that I learned during my school years about yes, food recycling. Actually, what comes to my mind first is the food collecting process of the less fortunate people who lives nearby those fast food chains that usually collects the food scraps from the store. And would you believe that those food scraps they collected are being served at their table!? sad story but real. It actually breaks my heart when I saw a feature story on the news sometime last year, they are indeed living out of the food wastes of other people. Oh well.
Anyways, going back to what food recycling is, it is the process of making the wastes into fertilizers by undergoing a process called compost pitting. Then I fully remember, it is one of our school project when I was still in grade 6! we made plant fertilizers out of the food scraps we collected from the canteen! I know it sounds so gooey and all, but yes, it's part of the curriculum and professionals are really doing that. I wonder how my niece would react to that project soon!

new biz.

I was told by my mom that another family friend of ours are into selling used products such as appliances and other electronic products. Actually, it's not a new thing in business to venture, in fact ever since the other countries started reselling their used items to other countries, hoarders and bulk buyers started sprouting from out of nowhere. From then, they will see if the items they bought can still be resell or just get the parts that still can work for the other items. Anyways, my mom also told me that the family friend focuses on selling second hand computers, read: cheap priced ones, that is why people are coming in to their store to check out their computer units. And now I'm dead curious on how much they sell a unit, and how much they earned from a piece. Maybe bulk buying or by lot bidding is such a good thing when it comes to the trend in business now. If only capital is not a problem, I'd probably tag my mom along so we can venture into this type of business too.

debts and forever debts

My sister is actually on her way to freeing herself from one of the most humiliating stage of her life - her credit cards and debt . Actually, she has been paying for it the longest time now, but you see, hidden charges and interests keeps on blowing her bills thus making it impossible to finish settling the said credit issue. So I told her about this
different kind of consolidation like debt management plan and defaulting on a payday loan which she can actually avail through www.debtconsolidationbenefits.com. A financial institution that truly helps out those who are being buried alive because of financial debt (read: credit cards, fast cash and all).
Anyways, with this consolidation, a debtor can get 50% reduce balance from her real obligation,meaning it can really help save money from it. Plus the fact that one can really avoid bankruptcy because you'll be able to pay in once a month process. And what I like about it is that in continuous payment, one can finish his or her financial problem in 12-30 months! that fast and secure.

eco and organic items

Monday, September 28, 2009
It has been years since people tends to choose organic products to other chemical-filled stuff especially for their health and beauty care. I for example, now choose to be on that side of the boat, you know, making sure that the items I buy specially for my daughter's use is really organically made, no harmful chemicals that might cause skin allergies and infection. That is why, I am so thankful for companies that makes and focuses on creating products that are health safe eco friendly.
Speaking of Eco items, have you heard about eco fashion!? actually, I am not so familiar with type of clothing line, but there are numbers of designers that focuses on creating lines that are really earth friendly, meaning their materials are from the natural stuff on earth, no harmful substance or whatever. And to add with the trend of such eco and earth friendly, there are also vacation spots that offers that kind of amenities! which I'm supposed to read about in a while!
Anyways, here are some of my preffered organic and eco friendly stuff, that my family really uses...


For my little fashionista

Sunday, September 27, 2009
A lot of my mommy friends are raving about this site - who made wonderful costumes for their little princesses. So while doing nothing a while a go, I decided to to check out the online shop and was so amazed with the wonderful kids clothing they has to offer! And I particularly love these tutu and tank tee pair, such a lovely isn't?! And I thought, this pair would be perfect for my little princess on her birthday! Since we don't have any big plans for her special day, we'll just get her a nice cake with candle which she can blow and ice cream that she love and probably ask my mom to cook spaghetti for us. Well, she can wear this nice pair with plain stockings and ballet flats, perf for her birthday photo op! :D



Bahamas!

Saturday, September 26, 2009
My friend happened to read a post about great getaway with her Bahamas all inclusive vacation, available for the beach bums out there, though i'm really not that sun babe ever since, i were tempted to email and asked the in charge for quotes and the other deals she can hook up for us... you know if ever the husband and i decided to have a sweet and short vacation getaway. and as expected, the lady replied immediately with details on vacation spots she is offering, vacation resorts packages with great prices i must say with the best spot cottages are the ones she sent me. Also, part of the many packages in the quotation is another flyer that tells about the said resort to be one of the sought after destinations for people who wanted to have a super memorable beach wedding! And yes, heard that some of the famous celebrities had their vows made at the said beach. Actually,if we are not on a tight budget, we might consider booking as fast as lightning, but since we are still weighing things down, we'll still see if we can spare some for our quick vacation getaway! I wish.

Gadget Freak

Tuesday, September 22, 2009
I am one techie girl in the making, in fact, I have been visiting and reading blogs and other sites that talks about the latest gadgets and stuffs in the market today. I was never a technology lover before, although my dad started buying me electronics when I was in high school, but actually, embraced the idea of going gaga over such things? never. Until now. Until my dad gave us (me and my sister) Ipods and other accessories that are so overwhelming! The first night I got that music player unto my hands, I wasn't able to sleep, yes that effect. Anyways, maybe Apple has a special place in my life and just last month, my dear husband gave me an Iphone! I was so amazed and surprised because first, although I told him that if ever I'll be getting a new phone it'll be the Apple brand but never in my thought that I'll be holding one as early as now. Second, we are on a strict budget thus buying one expensive item can really ripped a whole lot of savings from us. But then again, the husband gave me one and I can't argue nor refuse such a lovely present! And speaking of iphone, I am no canvassing online for an affordable iphone dock that I can use specially when sleeping where it can cradle my phone and have it charge, and oh, having a dock that also serves as music speakers is also a thing I am considering now, just checking the price now and comparing with the common docks. The photo below is one of my likes amongs the collection of www.mobilefun.co.uk - an iphone dock, not your generic type one but is a home audio system made specially to match the iphone! Really perfect right?! and yes, it has an alarm clock too! cool!
iHome Studio Series - iP9 - Grey

Anyways, speaking of gadgets and being a freak about it all, I am also checking out iphone cases and blackberry case for my sister over at mobilefun.co.uk. I heard that site is super well talked about offering the most wonderful gadgets on the face of the earth today. There I also found some cool bluetooth headset that I might just also get, just in case my budget can still accomodate another splurge. Yes, I admit, I am a gadget freak. ;)

perks of buying online with coupons!

So it's still shopping talks in here and most of my friends are actually blogging about discounts and shopping finds. Actually, that is what we are good at you know! finding sites that offers and gives out super great priced items and shopping coupons that can really help save a lot of money! Imagine how the economic crisis affects everyone from the seller to buyer, making people really work hard to find ways to meet ends and be able to still buy a few other stuffs. We too are affected by the worldwide crisis thus we make sure to be able to save every time we shop (mostly online). Lately we found Esprit coupon codes which we can use on the next coming months, just in time for the holiday shopping for gifts or for my personal loots. And the latest that I got was the Drugstore.com codes which is soon to be use for my supplements, personal grooming stuff shopping, just waiting for my friend to become available for she is the one who has the account online and does most of our shopping online. The fact that it is super convenient makes us want to just buy online :D

So True!

Sometimes in life we get so busy with so many unimportant things and definitely missing the important ones. We can't really tell at times when the travel we are having or the boat we are riding are the right ones for us but sometimes, we know the real score, we just don't seem to focus on it and we were mislead by other stuff along the way. I know I don't have the right to actually say things about life, but I know for sure that we are all wanting the same good life for us all. Of course, we can't have it right there and then, the good life that we all wanted are on our hands.. it depends on how we travel through life, how we deal with situations and how we interact with our brothers and sisters. It's not how much money you have in your pocket right, it's not how you tour the work and book expensive inns like Panama City hotels and it's not about the food you eat. But how you takes care of your life, how happy you are with your family and the people that you cares about. It's how you love life.

blabbing

Sunday, September 20, 2009
So it's Sunday and my supposedly rest/bum day. But what am I doing now?! I shouldn't be blogging but see, I am blogging. Duh. My life seems to be so a routine kinda life, but no, not at all actually. In fact, I am riding in one hell of a roller coaster ride, fun and exciting! Well, ok, not always fun and exciting, but most of it are like that, so guess it's carried out to the positive side of life right. Anyways, why am I blabbing like a mad crazy woman now!? nothing, I just wanted talk my mind out while I search online for effective ways on how to burn belly fat fast. Ah, alright, I'm talking non sense now. Gotta stop. Laters!

so many movies

Saturday, September 19, 2009
I don't know if I was able to mention about my latest addiction, watching movies at least one a day. Thanks to my friend Aggie who let me copy her movie collection thus making my EHD full of chick flick movies and yes, comedies too! I just wish my husband is here too so we can watch those great movies together, for sure we'll be laughing our hearts out and feel sad and senti for those drama flicks. Oh well, what can we do, life it is. Just got to wait for another eight months until we can see each other again, oh, who knows, maybe by that time we already have cable subscription or whatever like bell tv! It is sure to be fun! :D

busy momma!

Guess what?! I'm blogging like a mad lady right now, blame it to my five days of procrastination! So now,here I am meeting my deadlines and thinking of what to write. This is so hard, if only I did everything on time, probably I wouldn't harass myself with lot of things, online and offline speaking. Gotta take my weight loss pill too in a while for it has been days since the last time I took my pill. And my body is like what, gained a few pounds from all the eat outs I had with friends and family gatherings too! Argh. Got to burn some to be able to strut my upcoming clothing loots! waaaaah, pressure it is! alright then, gotta do some running, so as not to feel so guilty! haha.

skechers shape ups

Have you guys heard about the latest fitness con fashion footwear must have?! I'm talking about Skechers Shape ups! You got that right, it is made to give great health benefits for the body that includes:
  • Improves posture
  • Strengthens the back
  • Firms buttocks mucsles
  • Reduces cellulite and tones thighs
  • Firms calf muscles
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Tightens abdominal muscles
This type is shoes is very advisable for those who want to be relieve from stress attacks due to long walks and long hours of working while standing or walking. I also believe that this is very good for the elders who are more prone to posture problems and back aches. Might as well introduce this fashion shoes to my mom too! gotta tell her all the great effects this shoes can give her and yes, let her see the wonderful design too!

car repair service

It has been like what, five months since the husband left to work in another country which makes it also five months of commuting system for me and my little girl. Yes, we do take the buses and passenger jeepneys and tricycles wherever we go. No car to drive not even one.
Sad and really frustrating at times but when I try to think about it more and see the broader issue why the husband decided not to left us with a car unit, it'll just come to my mind and then I'll realize that it's better this way. Why? For so many reasons in fact, one I wouldn't have to worry on taking the car to repair shops for brake job amongst number of repair. If only there are well raved repair shops like the famous Dallas auto repair shop that can take care of whatever car like Chevrolet Silverado or our latest unit a Honda Vtech. So there, just can't wait for the husband to come back and get another car unit for us to boot around town!

oh debt!

Oh guess what, after my successful fight on getting out of my super big debt (credit card) problem I suddenly became a pro on it! How? friends keep on asking me ways how they can get rid of their huge credit card dues! debt help, it is. hahaha! Funny as it may seem but when you look deeper, the issue is a huge one. Actually, life threatening to others, but to some? they just don't care! maybe because they are just used to it, running away from their monetary responsibilities and all. But as we all know, karma comes in so different ways! thus paying our dues is one thing we must all do in order to attract good return of karma to our lives. Come to think of it, we swiped the hell out of our cards right? enjoyed every filthy moment with just paying via credit cards and what, just because it reaches it's maximum we'll just let go of it completely and never pay the whole damn bill! No no no. Better think twice, for all we know those credit card companies will be knocking our house and yes, even our brains out by asking us to pay! So if you are wondering how to get rid of those debts be it medical debt or other financial debt, www.debthelp.net can help us.

And hear this, it's HD! high definition at it's finest! now that's really tempting right?! Also, another good thing about this tv special offering is that is doesn't require long cable lines whatsoever, so for places like where we are located, this digital benefit is what we need!

relax and play

Was doing my rounds in my friends blogs this morning when i learned one of them enrolled her boy to this famous swimming school in the metro, it has been a long thinking of mine if i can enroll my daughter to a swim school at her early age, but then i heard that there are so many below one year old babies already enrolled in a baby swim school, it is said to be beneficial for the babies body and breathing too. ive'd been asking friends if they know a swim school that is located here near our place and up to now, summer is just around the corner no one can recommend a place. so we are thinking of bringing my daughter to the metro and see for ourselves if we will avail of it. i'm sure Olin would love to be swimming, she is in fact a water baby, super loves taking a bath and enjoying the water in her inflatable tub. anyways, back to the swim school in the metro, it is also known for the water therapy spa they offer for people of all ages. ive'd been there for three times already, two months after i gave birth and the next two around the mid of last year. we all enjoyed and felt relaxed our session there, especially my dad who super loves the hard water massage it has. we already had plans to go back there once my dad comes home for his vacation. it's such a good thing that there are places like this that people can go nowadays, enjoy and get pampered just like the famous sundances spa that results-oriented medical facility that serves the community in different states. not only relaxation is their best offer but the beautification also shaping one's body and bringing out the best in every client, in fact I'm very curious about their Hot Tubs. I remember when my father told me of his co-workers stories who lives in Atlanta that really enjoys going to sundances spa that serves the relaxing community of the place.you know, being so tired with their work, at least getting themselves a time for unwind and relaxing would do great! indeed, perfect. go get some Las Vegas show tickets

Tiffany and Co.

My online chummies and I met earlier today over at the Mall of Asia, as expected we had so much fun from all our stories to share, aside from the main fact that we met because of our shopping loots that arrived sometime last weekend. Anyways, there were so many topics that was discuss including our love for jewelries! We even thought of buying Tiffany Jewellery for Christmas Day :D which we can pre-order as early as now so we'll have a new accessories to boot during the holidays. Actually, been figuring out how can can I save enough money so I'll be able to snag a few Christmas Tiffany jewellry gifts for my mom, sister and aunt. Well, aside buying for myself and dear daughter too. You see, my mom already told me not to get her anything on Christmas because she still has so many unused stuff that I gave her. But instead, she requested for best Christmas gifts Tiffany Jewellery that she once saw over the internet while my sister was browsing tiffanystore.co.uk. Though I'm not sure of what particular item she likes but my sister definitely remembers it (hopefully). Speaking of Tiffany and Co jewelries, here are my top picks from their collection :D

Taurus 09.14.09


Taurus
(Apr 20 - May 20)

Although you like being sure of yourself, the uncertainty that now sneaks into your life can catalyze positive changes. You may try to make light of your discomfort or even pretend that all is well. Don't be so quick to depersonalize your emotions by taking a philosophical approach. Allow yourself to feel your hurt or to empathize with someone else's before rushing off to make it all okay again.

quest for host

Saturday, September 12, 2009
Have you heard about my inquiries for an affordable yet reliable webhosting service for my other non-active site. Been in and out of different websites that offers different bundles and packages for the domain and hosting of one's site. Then I found myself browsing through www.findmyhosting.com wherein I found a lot of stuff that could help me in building a new website. Plus the reviews and ratings chart they provided are very interesting indeed, being on the top as hosting providers, only means one thing, if you get your hosting from that site would simply make your life and your site a lot more effective and would probably get great cache and the likes. I also notice that there are many other types of hosting services that are available from them, from simple forum to email hosting and of course to what I am so interested with, blog hosting! And aside from the efficiency that they are promising, I can sense that they are also offering low cost pricing, compare to other hosting sites that would really scar your budget. With this web hosting service, they got bundles and packages to suit every one's need that is really affordable. I will keep you guys updated on my new site that will be setting up in while using this web hosting site and hoping for your blog hops and comments too!

let's go dot com!

Been running this blog for quite some time now, I know you know, right? I even bought a domain and now it has a dot com already. A lot of friends are asking how were I able to do this, and for like the hundred times already I tell them everything, it is quite tiring but I feel great after explaining things, meaning there are people who learned something from me. Anyways, I'm thinking now of getting my own logo as to match my own domain from considering so much about the best web hosting choice, going back to my domain's logo, here is what I got as a sample made by a friend which I will try to look at and choose from the selections . You too, can even try it yourself - getting a domain and logo to personalized, and let me tell you, it was so fun!reating your own domain and logo design, styles, colors and font! their steps are so easy to follow and fast! so what now? why are you still glued on my page? go now! visit their site and see how you can purchase your own domain and yeah, get back here if you don't mind and I'll me what you choose, so I can check it out!

domains and more

Friday, September 11, 2009
It has been like what, two years when my sister finally convinced me to put up a blog of my own and buy a domain for it. I was hesitant at first because I might not be able to focus on it and update religiously, unlike her, whom almost every hour has a new blog entry on her numerous blogs! She has passion for writing and earning moolah, that's why. anyways, after a long time deciding, I made a jump and made one, actually, this is my second blog so there, after sometime, I ask my sister to help me purchase a domain for it and voila! I got hooked on it! I even received emails from friends regarding my domain buying a few months back, and somehow I was able to convince a few to get their own dot com, and i can say that just like me, they all are enjoying the perks of having their own name dot com, easy catch, easy to memorize domains. but the real issue here is getting the domain and hosting. I learned from experience that for a fast and effective own site response, one must register and buy in a legit web hosting sites that really does stick to their promises like fast, easy access and no spam domain hosting.

waaaaaaaaaa!!!! this teaser poster can really make fans go gaga!!! stone me! I'm guilty. Who cares!? I soooo love Edward and I can't wait to see this movie on November! ** himatay ** want to watch Las vegas shows

online and IT world

So let's just say I am no good when it comes to IT and other technical terms that has to do with computers and programming, or whatever other professional calls it. Basically because my finished course has nothing to do with computer and all that jazz. I remember how my mom used to convince me in taking computer related courses since most of my batch mates are into it. But the hard headed me refuse to take her advice and chose to pursue another course.
And now?! oh how I wish to take back the time and follow my mom's advice. If only I knew then that the career path I'll be having now is about computer, web design and all those html's... I'd be very good with everything I do now. Good thing, there are online tutorials and friends who unselfishly offer their help so I wouldn't have to be bombarded with difficult tasks online. Aside from friends who are always ready to help, sites and IT related sites that offer products that can really make online works very easy to handle like windows dedicated server by www.singlehop.com - a site that gives help on server talks and all.

Table Boot!

We have 2 unused slash keep-it-on-the-side table that has been collecting dusts over the years at our storage room. You see, no one in this house is creative enough to think of a great way on how to make a full use of that. That is why I am so thankful for sites that features creative ways on how to re-design and re-use stuffs that are already been tagged as 'useless'. Anyways, here are some of the things that we might consider on doing with our useless tables that will surely give a huge impression on whichever room we choose to redecorate well of course, aside from other stuff like outdoor lighting for the total effect and all.





Pretty amazing huh?! I know! that's why I had to thank daisypinkcupcake for showing wonderful house items like tables be re-invented! Just love it!

Oh well, gotta do some round around their blogs and see what this Halloween party invitations is all about! :D

diet to pills

with the latest issues the government is taking care of today such as the cheaper medicine act, there are still number of issues being faced by pharmaceutical companies, be it the cheapest group or the elite brands that said to be offering the best among the best drugs available for the market today. that is why this project became the brain child of online pharmaceutical groups to become the online site for comparison of this and that brand of medicines, with this site, consumers can access themselves the charts for comparison of every detail of whatever drug they need to order. one of the best example are the fat burner pills which is so popular not only in the US but in some parts of the world also, with the help of the online chart consumers can access and read about facts and details of this brand of medicines. one great way to be aware. safety and precaution for everyone is what they give

Sometimes I wonder what in the world does dental stuff has to do with my life, it is so often that I talks about teeth, procedure and yes, dentists all over my blog! don't you just finds it weird too?! oh well, never mind. Who cares right? this is my blog, and I write what I want, whatever, whenever. You just got to deal with that.
Anyways, going back to my friend's hunt for discount, I learned that the reason behind is that she is thinking of getting herself a brace for sometime now, and she wants to make it happen within this year, but unfortunately, funds is too frisky for her so she is wondering if there is a dental clinic that can give huge discount whatever. And my answer? no I don't have. Too sorry that I can't help.

Techniques on Reducing Camera Shake

Friday, September 4, 2009

1. Elbows In

As often as possible pull your elbows in to your body and exhale completely before depressing the shutter. When you’re working with a wide aperture or low shutter speed (or both), even a breath can introduce shake. Pulling your elbows tight to your body can really help keep you steady. I also press my elbows firmly into my chest for even greater stability.

2. Raise Your Left Shoulder….

I am definitely a right eyed photographer, but this tip that I learned from “The Moment It Clicks” by Joe McNally, requires that I shift for a moment to my left eye. What I’m doing here is raising my left shoulder, and bracing my left elbow into my rib-cage (no arrow for this one). For further stability, you can pull your right elbow in to your chest. As always, exhale completely before depressing the shutter to avoid introducing shake.

3. Create a Tripod With Your Knee

You can create your own tripod by resting your elbow on your knee while in a seated position. Again, bring that other elbow in for greater support.

4. Lay Down

These two images illustrate perhaps the most obvious way to avoid shake without a tripod. Lie flat and let the lens sit directly on the ground. The problem with this is that you’re likely to have quite a downward tilt to the lens and unless you’re aiming to photograph the pavement, you probably won’t end up with the shot you’re hoping for. In the first image you’ll notice that I placed my hand flat against the cement and balanced the lens on top of it to give myself some height. In the second image you’ll see that I created a fist with my hand to give myself even greater height.

5. The Machine Gun Hold

This next technique is sometimes referred to as the machine gun hold. I rarely use this technique as I find it awkward and difficult to maintain for more than a second or two. Just because it doesn’t work for me, doesn’t mean it won’t for you. . . give it a try.

6. Cradle It

In this next image you’ll see that I created a sort of cradle for the lens between my shoulder and my wrist. I also stabilized the hold by balancing my elbow on my knee.

I may not be your true blue fashionista who usually struts the latest in fashion trends and all. But, I love browsing blogs and sites that features celebrity fashion trends and you know, imagining myself booting those fancy clothes and accessories on the ramp! I know, crazy idea but what can I do, I honestly don't have the body and the guts to do it just like them. It'll sure be a total effort on everything, but sometimes there are like simple styles that can still make me, others? totally breaks! But what I super dig on those sites are the fashion jewelry that celebrities flaunts! those are the stuff that interests me. So if you too like fashion and celebrity blogs, check out www.celebritystyleblog.com and see the latest in the celebrity world!
