I finally decided to stop blogging here (at least for now). My paid blogging stint will take a momentary pause to give way to a few personal projects. I will continue to update my personal blog and hobbies blog though. Thanks for visiting and leaving wonderful comments. I will try my best to [...]
I have been experiencing frequent back aches lately. It used to be concentrated on the waist area but now the pain goes up to my nape. Before, the pain goes away after a good night sleep and I never had to take pills to get by. I am tempted to start taking pain relievers now. My [...]
I am having a bad case of acne on my forehead. I have been sleeping late for weeks on end and now I see several zits in all its full glory concentrated on my forehead. They are itchy at times and even though I use a dermatologist-recommended astringent, the itchiness won’t go away. I believe my [...]
My husband’s two-week business trip to Perth is confirmed. We are looking at joining him there on his second week. Good thing that his company will cover my and my daughter’s fares. I am a little worried though about the stuff I need to bring with me. My daughter’s toys and necessities won’t definitely fit one [...]
My husband and I love to travel. On our list of must-see places are Italy, Spain and the UK. There is so much to learn and experience when visiting different countries. The world somehow becomes bigger than what we think when we immerse ourselves into the different cultures and norms of people. When [...]
One of the more popular gift suggestions for any special occasion is cakes or pastries. Who can resist a yummy bite of chocolate chip cookies or, choco mud cake or a plain chocolate crème cake? It’s obvious that I’m partial with chocolate. Hee. Laura’s House Bakery located in Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina sells [...]
One of our friends is inviting me to join her in a business venture. I can’t share all the details here but just a hint, it has something to do with babies/children must-haves. When she shared her ideas, I got excited. I thought this could pave the way for me to have my own [...]
I have written previously about my weight problem when I was in college. I have to say that taking diet pills crossed my mind. I wanted to get slim without exercising (yes, I am lazy to hit the gym) and I wanted fast results. Now that I have lost a lot of weight, thanks to my [...]
One of the more popular paid sites is PayPerPost. As soon as my account was approved, I immediately signed-in and took a quick look at the website’s features, navigation and tools. What I like best is the facility to see all the available opportunities whether you are qualified to take it or not. Being [...]
I love pearls. To me, they make any woman look sophisticated and beautiful. At least that is how I feel when I wear them. What’s nice about these beauties is that they have many different types like the popular ones I know — fresh water, cultured or the Japanese culture type called Mikimoto. With the [...]
I am not a big fan of strong perfumes. In fact, I have horrible experiences while in the train cars back in Singapore. You see, it is bad enough when you are squeezed in between commuters, when the only way you could breathe properly is to bow your head with your chin touching your chest, [...]
Have you ever tried to play match-maker? Well, my husband and I did but only once. We weren’t successful so we never dared to try again. A close friend of ours has a girl friend who is single and “searching”. When our close friend came to Singapore, she begged us to match her friend to [...]
When we got our first flat panel TV, we had an option to avail of the free TV mount. Because we are renting, we had to forego it although we like the idea of having the TV mounted to save space. I discovered then that TV mounts come in different designs. I thought all [...]
It’s already May and I haven’t started ordering our Mother’s day gifts. I usually give a 2-week allowance for me to complete the orders and make sure that they are received in time. I have been loyal to this Philippine online store called filgifts.com. Their flowers are really beautiful but it would be nice to see [...]
