Theme Park
Oct 24, 2007 Entertainment, Working Mom
If there would be one place where my son would love to go and sure enjoy every minute that would be going to one of Theme Parks. And while surfing I chanced upon these beautiful photos that look exciting and fun.
What a thrilling ride that is. 
This is Blackpool’s oldest theme park and one of UK’s biggest tourist attractions. They have the world famous rides such as the Pepsi Max Big One, Infusion and Big Dipper and have been visited each year. If you browse on their site and look at the different attractions they offer, you could feel the excitement. It is truly a perfect fun destination for everyone.
Well, yes the place is far from us but who knows we might have the chance to go someday and experience the fun rides they have there.
Broadway Musical shows
Oct 19, 2007 Entertainment, Working Mom
It’s been my wildest dream to watch a Broadway musical shows. Yes I didn’t have the chance in my whole life, LOL! I was able to watch only kids musical show like Barney 
but other than that nothing…. Why I’m telling this? It is because of the new musical Wicked- the untold story of the witches of Oz, just in time for the spooky holiday. Gee, this could be exciting and scary musical shows. But heck, I can’t watch it, they don’t have tour yet in Asia. Anyway, for my friends in US you may want to see this beautiful show, why not grab your Wicked tickets now and reserve for the seat of your choice. Enjoy watching! 
dining Furniture Poker table
Oct 16, 2007 Home Improvement, Working Mom
Who would think that this table is one of those elegant dining-furniture poker tables?
Well, I’m sure for those playing the card game, they will know at once that this type can be use for poker but since I don’t know anything about that betting game then it’s hard for me to tell. I don’t even know how this table turns to be a game table then, LOL. All I can think of this could be a wonderful dining table in the house with its oval shape. And the two solid hardwood pedestal leg(s), elegantly compliments the artwork of the entire furniture game table. Cool!
Invitations by You
Oct 12, 2007 Computer/Internet, Working Mom
Birthday invitations, thank you/note cards, wedding and baby announcements, stationery and more… all these can just be done easy and quick on the Internet.
Few years’ back it took time to look for suppliers to do all these stuff but with the recent technology and almost everybody use internet and digital cameras, these can be made possible quickly. And if you’re like me who love to organize party, I’m sure you could come up with a nice custom design of invitations. I do that during my son’s first birthday party and I do all the preparations. I’m happy with the outcome and it’s just what I expected. Next year, I’m planning to have a party for him and hopefully we could celebrate it in Manila.
Now for those who doesn’t want to bother themselves in doing such, then you can order online and usually companies offer delivery at home so that’s convenient and hassle-free. Check invitations by You (www.iby.com) and you’ll find different options that I’m sure you can get the one suited to your liking.
Cliffside Malibu
Oct 12, 2007 Health, Working Mom
The photos at the bottom, that is. And I never thought that it’s a drug rehabilitation center when I look at all the different pictures of the facilities they have.
One of their objectives is to give comfort to their patients suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, depression and other disorders, that’s why they make a special effort to have everything else as comfortable as possible. And having a wonderful place like this would mean they treat you in luxury. They believe that a little comfort goes a long way on the path to recovery.
I’m sure any patient would love to stay and treated on place like this.
Blog marketing
Oct 10, 2007 Working Mom
I started blogging early part of 2006 and that’s the time I decided to be Stay-at-home Mom. Since then, it has been my place where I could share my thoughts, experiences, family happenings and other happy life moments. And since it has been a part of my daily tasks, I thought why not use this blogging thing to earn money.
I learned blog marketing commonly called as paid posts blogging from my fellow Pinay scrappers. I was hesitant the first time I heard of it but when I learned the earnings they got, I didn’t think twice. And the first marketplace I registered was PayPerPost. Why PPP? (1) it was the recommendation of my friends (2) easy to get opportunities or tasks and that you can get the chance to earn more (3) minimum payout is $5 (4) friendly community (5) site is great, easy to navigate … Read the rest of this entry »
Postcard printing
Oct 9, 2007 Computer/Internet, Working Mom
I have not tried doing a custom postcard before. I would love though to try one and don’t you think it’s a good idea to send for the coming holiday? I am also thinking of a door hanger thing. But I guess a post card is much easy to do. I will do the layout sort of customizing to meet my specific needs and then I can submit for color postcard printing. Ok, you may wonder I do have my own printer why submit to a printing company? The answer: hassle-free. Services from this company don’t end only in printing but they can also mail the postcards. That will lessen the work. Such a neat idea, isn’t?
Fashionable Designer Handbags
Oct 9, 2007 Working Mom, shopping
I am looking for a small handbag that I am planning to give to my Mom on the coming holiday. She loves to collect different type of bags, no wonder I was doing the same thing too. And it was really timing when I spotted these designer handbags on the net under the brand of Bolzano, which has an excellent reputation internationally. They are the carrier of luxury handbags and leather accessories that has taken its market by storm. Currently they sell in Europe, Asia, Central and South America. And because they have been in retail industry for over 15 years, that would mean quality guaranteed. I just browsed on their different collections and yes it looks awesome. I like the styles they have and I’m sure if I’m going to show this to my Mom, she will choose more than one… LOL!
Talk about banking
Oct 8, 2007 Working Mom, business
Easy and hassle-free, the reasons we do online banking. When we open our saving account, we took the option of enrolling it to their online feature as well. The total flexibility is what we are looking for. I cannot say it’s 100 percent safe, that’s why we only open or make use of this option while at home using our own computer. Also our bank provided us some security measure to protect from any fraudulent users.
Another thing to consider in opening saving or current accounts is the bank charges. As I understand it, once we go below the minimum balance the bank will charge us some fees. Unfair? Somehow yes and this is my experience to that one:

Do you love music? Do you have that talent in singing that you want to bring on and let the music fans worldwide hear you? If yes, then I’m sure you’re going to like Algeka, home of the coolest emerging music videos in the world. How cool is that!
Ok you might ask what is Algeka? Algeka gives music fans the power to create the next star. It provides an aspiring artist a channel to promote themselves across all continents.

building your business online
Oct 8, 2007 Computer/Internet, Working Mom
Most of the business now days, be it small or big company reached their clients or customers through their website. They do most of the marketing and other transactions online, as Internet has been largely use by most consumers. That’s why building a business online has been a vital part. For small business, a perfect starter would be a good web page design that could attract visitors. It doesn’t need to have an in-depth knowledge on website creation as you can get full service from website marketing company that offers comprehensive web design packages. They will act as your web designer and make it easy to get the business online. They will take care of any website updates and maintenance. And with that you can just focus on the business itself and make it successful. And this I observed to be the strategy of most of the business around.
Designer Fabrics and Upholstery Fabrics Provider
Oct 4, 2007 Home Improvement, Working Mom
Do you love design fabrics? I think most Moms do. And as much as possible getting a high quality at discounted price is the best deal. If you will check on different online fabric retailer, they have different offerings on their various fabric products. Like for instance on designdivafabrics.com, they have a discount brocade upholstery fabric that has a unique style and colors. As I look on one of the pictures, it’s perfect for curtains drapery and bedding needs. Its fiber content, which is purely cotton, is such a good choice for different upholstery work. Now this makes me think of our present curtain, which hubby reminded me again to change.
Gift for myself
Oct 3, 2007 Working Mom, me/mine/myself
Dainty but elegant. Something that can be worn with anything from jeans to silk….
I’m imagining here a designer inspired jewelry that I would love to have on Christmas, LOL! It took me years to buy jewelry as I’m not really fond on this one. So if I have money or I saw one that I really love, then that’s the time I’ll buy for myself. And for the coming holiday, I’m planning to buy as my personal gift unless hubby would buy it for me *wink*. …. I just thought I deserved to have one this year… 
thoughts on Product Recall
Oct 3, 2007 Mommy talk, Working Mom
Recently there are various product recalls because of safety and design issues and the latest that’s always brought up was the children’s toys. According to the report, mostly US companies have recalled more than 20 million made-in-china toys over the two months. That’s why inspectors now made a detailed checked on toys to make sure no sharp points or bad chemicals use in the product that will hurt the young kids. If in case you were injured or you know somebody that have been harmed, I learned that you could consult a product liability attorney, who are familiar with the physical, emotional and financial damage that a defective product can cause. It’s better that you gain knowledge on how to act at your end just in case you’re one of the victims. Now as consumers let us be wise enough on products that we’re buying. As far as we’re concerned, we seldom buy toy for our little boy lately; instead, we buy him educational and storybooks that he loves. So for parents like me, let’s just be conscious when buying toys for our kids. It’s better to be safe than sorry…
Buying on discounts or promotions
Oct 3, 2007 Working Mom, shopping
Isn’t it great to get discounts or best deals in buying items such as clothes, food and even auto accessories? Me personally I love shopping during store sale or if there are discounts offered or some promotions. That’s a huge savings on our budget and I could even stock for some items that we often use. Like for instance the promo with “buy 2 at discounted price”, that’s a good take for me and one way I usually do to fit into our budget and even have savings.
Beach Bonfires
Oct 3, 2007 Dream travel, Working Mom
What a relaxing and romantic escape doing a beach bonfire. I would love to experience that inspired by Outer Banks beach bonfires that’s so inviting. 
I think we could do that here sometimes though whenever we go on barbecue in one of the beach here and stay till midnight it’s something like a bonfire already but it’s great if you’re just sitting around the fire, chatting each other or singing or having some sort of simple game… nice getaway for group of friends or for the whole family….! Makes me think of the movie I watched a long time ago, LOL! Well, whatever it is, I’m actually hoping for a wonderful and grand vacation soon…. I really have to save for that one…
MAC gaming site
Sep 29, 2007 Computer/Internet, My little boy Migs, Working Mom
We seldom download games even before we have our MAC book. And I’m not really into playing games too. But lately when the little boy wanted to sit on my lap and join me on Mac, I would open him an online site where he could play and that would be our bonding moment. But sometimes too many links can be distracting so I would rather have some mac games to download for him. And good I have found a MAC gaming site that have downloads for apple computer. They have a variety of mac games that we can choose from. Of course, I made my way to Kids and Learning category and there I found free kids games to start with. One that caught my attention was the Alpha Baby that I will try to download. Other category that I find interesting too is the puzzle and adventure section. They have freeware that’s good for download so I can try. I guess this is a good break in between blogging and a good winding up too…
Holiday presents
Sep 29, 2007 Daily Thoughts, Working Mom
Wow, October coming next week. I’m getting excited for the holidays … And as early as now, I made a list of names for our holiday presents. Since we don’t have plan of going home this christmas, I will be spending more on sending cards to our family, close relatives and friends. I plan to do a photo card again and I would like to start early because last year I sent it too late, LOL! I even have calendars during that time but was not able to make additional copies. So this time I want to prepare early because for sure with all school activities of my little boy, I’ll be getting too busy… Then for our few friends here, mmm… I have them on my list but not sure yet what to give, what about incontinence products, hey, that’s good thing for elders, hehe…. anyway, I actually have an idea now but it’s a surprise. I will still hunt though for more gift ideas on the net.
Finding a new home
Sep 28, 2007 Working Mom, business
During the time we’re looking for a new house, hubby and I realized it’s not an easy thing to do. Aside from sleepless night, we both were stressed. We thought then we could easily find one that suits our needs that’s why we started one month before our scheduled move. But our realization made us think that we should have started two months ahead so we were able to gauge the pros and cons as well as the adjustment on our financial plan once the rental fee gets higher. In other words, we forgot to think about little things and that comprised a large part of our budget. On another note a guidance from a trained and expert people is also important and that will help us know the whole process clearly. That will lighten the confusion and lessen the stress and pressure. That’s why an ultimate guide like what beaufort nc real estate offers could be very helpful in finding a new home and that lead to better living and smooth financial plan.
Meal plan
Sep 28, 2007 Mommy talk, Working Mom
It’s hard sometimes to think what to cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Are you having the same dilemma Mommies? I actually have the meal plan prepared every week and that’s taking me too long to finish because as much as possible I don’t want to have the dish repeated on the following week, know what I mean. Now, another week coming and I’m starting to lay down the plan but I don’t know what to put there, . And then lately I’m having hard time thinking of breakfast for my 2 boys especially the little one and oftentimes he would settled with the sausage roll that we bought in the bakery. But as much as possible I like him to eat rice in the morning. (Oh, this makes me think of Vermont bed and breakfast, which I’ve seen online.) Well, I guess I just have to do research for some yummy meals for next week… any recommendation for kids breakfast?
