a place called home . . .

During my college days, I would often times hear my classmates about dating and stuff. But i never paid much attention because I am not that interested. Years passed and I am still clueless on how everything goes, especially online dating. Yes there is such a thing now in this fast paced technology. I have come across some online dating services last year when a friend of mine at her 30's is still single. In my attempt to pair her up with some, i searched about online dating. It wasn't pushed throught because of her bust schedule. But now, how i wish she can try it out.

To give you an idea, in the dating websites, one can choose in which group would you like to search, say Asian dating, Christian dating etc. This type of dating would mean that you are on a lookout for friends and even partners too. Who knows, you might find your partner in life through this online dating. Some of you may think that it is a bit risky to enter on this, but no, not really. These sites are safe and there are even dating sites review that you can read before jumping into the bandwagon. I am still recommending this type of activity to a friend of mine who remains single til now. Hopefully , she will have the time to meet new friends and maybe later on have dinner with them . Life can be boring when you are alone, right?

You Should Have a Silver Christmas Tree

For you, the holidays represent a time of glamour and sophistication. You love to make things fancy - whether it's having classy decorations or upscale cocktails. While you aren't very traditional, you like your holidays to have a retro feel. You prefer to have a few decorations that have stood the test of time. You're not big on disposable junk. Your silver tree would look great with: Simple, bold ornaments You should spend Christmas Eve watching: Eyes Wide Shut What you should bake for Santa: Homemade cookies. You're not the type to wear an apron.

How's everybody now after Christmas time? I bet we are all stuffed with good food and great memories with our families. I have tons of pictures, especially of the kids, and I uploaded them now at my desktop and online for back up. I am clearing up my memory card for some more parties within the week. I will have it printed soon, and if time permits, I want to make a digital scrapbook of our Christmas 2009, or maybe a collage photo of our family.

I am also looking for a collage maker that I can download or use online. I love looking at a collage, its like a super long story, seen in one picture. I used to make collage of some prints that I have here. A collage studio would certainly be a great help in making this canvass. All i need is to upload all the pictures that i want to use , choose a design and voila, after a few seconds ( or minutes ) I will have the finish product already, ready for printing.

Anyway, aside from collage prints, I also found out about this fun way of re inventing your photos. Take a look at what I have for my shots




Nice, right? Its so easy. Just check out the website, click the layout that you like and upload your photo. The new layout will be out in seconds and the best part is , its for free! Try it out and have fun with your photos!

Last Dec 24, after the mass at 8pm, me and my family enjoyed the food that I prepared for us. I had penne and fettuccine in white sauce , garlic butter bread, choco mousse cake, Ham, and a fruit salad. Every year , I make a simple menu that we can share right after the mass. Here's a few pics:




Nothing compares to good food and family during Christmas time. Hope you all enjoyed the day with your loved ones.

Merry Christmas!

a credit card for me.

Would you believe that I never had a credit card in my life ? I did not apply for one since my husband has one already and I am too afraid of getting swamped with debts. As you all know, I dont have a regular income job and that's one reason why i can't guarantee if i can pay on time. But during the holiday season, i realized how easy shopping would be if only i have a credit card. So i checked and got some info about Credit Cards. There's a lot of offers nowadays, no joining fee, low interest cards, reward credit cards etc.

I am really thinking which one would suit my lifestlye. While I was doing my research, I was able to Compare Credit Cards and from there I was able to decide where to apply. Just today, I received a phone call telling me that my application was approved and I will soon be receiving my card. Can you tell that I am too excited to try it out? I would definitely buy something for myself on my first purchase. Hopefully I would get a lot of rewards. I am lucky enough to research on the Best Credit Cards. I just need to be a wise spender from now on.

I know it's a little late.. but better late than never, right?

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Hope you had a great time celebrating with your families and loved ones...

May we never forget the true meaning of the day.. the birth of Jesus Christ.

In life, we all come to a point when we feel tired and bored with our everyday life. My husband and I finds time to bond over a lot of things. Most of the time we go out malling, trying different kinds of food. When we are at home, we watch some feel good movies, but lately there's one thing that made us busy and that concerns the internet. My husband and I got hooked with playing poker online. Well, he was into playing poker even before, but now he got me hooked to it too. I am thinking of trying out some games at online casinos, but I guess I need to watch and observe how it goes. Maybe the only thing i can try there is the slot machine rvm . Slot machines are fun and easy to play, and you really have a big chance of winning something.

I looked for some online listings on where I can try playing with just fake money. I don't have plans yet of spending money there and its mostly for fun that's why. I also read on some guidelines and reviews from some players to keep me on track. With the birth of online gaming sites, its hard to tell which one is safe and trusted so it is best to read about the websites and learn more about it and not just with the games. Anyway, i have to cut everything short because I still need to practice on poker games. I have a match with my husband on weekend so I better beat him because we have a bet . Hopefully, i can land to a really great website soon.

During the Thanksgiving sale, I was able to score some RL pillows at walmart. Yes, a pair would cost around 15 USD so I got myself 2 pairs of it. Thanks to my dear friend who shopped for me. I tried RL bed sheets , blankets and even towels and I so like their quality. So I am quite sure that the pillows will not disappoint me at all. RL is one of my favorite brand for clothing items and even on Home items.

Before hte year end, my husband and I scheduled some planning for 2010. Well, it has been a "tradition" for us for the past 4 years of our married life. We evaluate our present year, learn from our mistakes and plan for the year ahead. It doesn't necessarily mean that all plans be executed, but we carefully plan on things so as to set our budget and expenses too. We try to balance everything, from travel, parties, shopping and savings of course.

One of our major plan for next year would be our dream home. We both think that 2010 would be perfect for a good start because we are done with our car's monthly amortization. First on our step would be to look for possible house and lots at our chosen area, which is very near his workplace. We have a target subdivision already, and hopefully we can find some really great deals when we go and check it out. Second step would concern the financial matter. Since we cannot afford to get it in cash, we need to apply on some housing loans . This is where we need to focus seriously. There's a lot of mortgage loans and re financing options today ,and I am so confused of which one to get. I know that I need to compare the rates and interests they offer to their clients. I also saw the term Mortgage Lending , and I still have to read more about it.There is a lot of Mortgage Loan Programs at this particualr website that I am viewing, I just need to choose which one suits our needs best, then I will send them an inquiry online thru the website. There's the conventional Home Loans, USDA Mortgage Loans and even credit repair.

Now, I have something to report to my husband when we sit down for our 2010 plans. I hope that by that time, I already have some quotations so we will have a rough estimate on how much it would cost us and if it is still feasible for us to get our dream home next year. Aside from that, I will also research more on their payment terms and check the feedback from their past clients. I am almost sure that they are of outstanding status, so no need to worry on that, right? well, wish us luck with our Home plans.

It was a month after the party of my princess, and until now I still haven't finished my supplier ratings. To say that I am busy is an understatement. And add to that, my laptop has a virus that needs to be fixed first. I am more comfortable working at my laptop . Anywa, I am leaving you with some pics from the party .

During my dad's recent trip to our place, he had a lot of medical tests done. Most are just check ups and some consultation and I am so glad it all went out fine. But there is one thing that bothered him , and that's his eye floaters. He told me that he had it for quite some time now. At first he was trying to ignore it, but then it is getting worse as it is already affecting his eyesight. He once had a bad incident at the street while driving because of it. So I told him to go to the doctor and have it treated too.

When you have Eye Floaters , it feels really uncomfortable to look at things. Sometimes you think its cloudy or foggy. Or when you look at the light, you will see some strings or dots in the eye area. He used to ignore it as he was busy with works, and he thought that he can manage it as it will soon go away. Sadly, it is getting worse. I tried to do some research online and found out more about eye floaters. I got to know the cause and how often times it is associated with aging. I never knew that it can be painful, but I am aware that it can really be dangerous. Honestly, anything that concerns the eyes panics me. I also cam across what is called as Vitreous Floaters , and now I need to get more information about that. I just wish that my dad's eye condition would improve soon. Apart from going to the doctor, I wanted to order a product i found online that has a simple , easy and guaranteed solution that would help eliminate eye floaters. I saw a lot of success stories at the website , and hopefully soon, my dad would be a part of it.

This is a lesson learned from me, one should not just ignore anything that concerns their health as it can really become worse in no time.
