Taken at Asher’s first birthday… my friends and I were so glued into taking pics of the newly arrived baby Dominique we didn’t notice that the official photographer were taking snaps of us too! Cute!
Er, no I’m not talking about the Halliwell sisters Prue, Phoebe and Piper or their hit tv series here… I’m well, talking about my prized charm bracelets from Yen’s YQOTW contest! It was actually a very nice morning surprise for me earlier, I was just about to search for affordable wholesale tvs online when I saw her twit about her contest’s winner — which is me! so lucky eh?! And what’s really nice about it all is that I’ve been eying her latest jewelry loots from Etsy or was it from Ebay (?) last week and was able to even comment to this particular piece! I so love the boots, bags and stilleto charms! Don’t you just love it too?! 
Again, thanks Yen for this! and welcome back from a month long vacation!
some weeks ago, I exchange 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, Joy 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.

Until I came to saw a website that teaches those who would want to create website 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.

I love weddings! I just do. Even when I was still young, I always dream of myself walking down the long aisle towards the man of my dreams, aka my Prince Charming! Well, it happened some three years ago, though I must admit that our wedded life is not all bed of roses, I still would marry the man I sad Yes to. Sounds mushy I know, but who cares? I know a lot feels the same way too.
And speaking of Wedding, I always love helping out friends who are asking my help for some wedding flowers ideas. Good thing I was able to save a list that I used during our wedding preparation, and it was www.fiftyflowers.com that has been a great help for us during those times, from my flower choices to the entourages, it was all gotten from the said site. Truly helpful for those who are planning to tie the knot.
My husband and I were talking about our plan for a quick holiday getaway this coming yuletide season, since it has been ages the last time we went out for an atleast three days vacation. That is why, I keep on browsing a friend’s site that offers discounted packages available for grabs in different beautiful locations. And also, since I’ve been browsing local spots because that is where our budget can get as of the moment, but who knows in the next couple of years, when we already have enough savings that can get us to one of our dream vacation spot, Oregon! We first here the story behind the beautiful getaway destination through my dad who already had an experience vacationing on that island, he says that there are so many awesome resorts to choose from once you are there, and only enjoyment and relaxation is what you will feel there. Anyways, we are thinking of grabbing one of those Oregon coast vacation rentals packages and Oregon coast lodging that certain beach can offer, also they have this Pet friendly rentals Oregontoo! Anyways, since we didn’t have an official honeymoon after our wedding three years ago, I guess that this is the time to experience that, even just for a while. So there, I search and look for hot spots that we might consider, and most of the resorts are tagged with Lincoln city Oregon vacation rental! meaning, most of them are offering beach wedding ceremonies, I think. And although I love weddings, I might pass on the idea of having to stay with so many guests roaming around, what I would want to have is a peaceful beach experience wherein we can do whatever we want, with only a few people surrounding us. How I wish we can get this dream happen before the year ends.
My friend’s car had a terrible accident, good thing it was only who were damaged because the accident happened while his car was parked at a certain street side along the metro. Apparently, a fast and reckless car driver hit the front of his car making everything smashed up including the expensive Flat Windshield Glass that he just got to install some few weeks back. He felt oddly frightened because his dad might get mad at him because the car wasn’t supposed to be parked where he left is. Talk about reckless parking or something. Anyways, his problem lies now is where he can find replacements for all the damage parts and all. Although the other party promised to pay everything up, it doesn’t just stop there you know. Of course, all the hassle and bustle is already there. Now he’s trying to look for Custom Auto Glass installer that will be able to do a perfect job for his car. A Classic Auto Glass or Hot Rod Glass supplier to for all the supplies that will match his car’s model and style. Would you believe that even my husband is helping him out already because time is already running out and he needs everything to be done before his dad arrive from the States. Been searching the web too know, and there I found Sanders Reproduction Glass that offers this kinds of services, known for their great and efficient work, this is the place to be!

- Setting unrealistic goals. When you set goals for a diet, make sure those goals are achievable. Don’t try to do everything at once and then expect to suddenly weigh what you did in high school. An example of an attainable goal might be to eat two snacks of fresh fruit every day and three servings of vegetables between lunch and dinner.
- Eating only one time each day. I often hear that people, in order to “save” calories, are skipping breakfast and lunch and only eating dinner. Let me tell you: This plan will save you no calories and can squelch your metabolism in the bargain. Eating three meals a day is important to your general health.
- Thinking short-term only. This is why people lose and then regain weight so quickly. A change in diet isn’t meant to be just for a few months; it should become a lifelong habit. Think long-term changes.
- Underestimating your food portions. We are all guilty of this. Research shows that, when recalling foods consumed, most people under-report the amounts they ate. You may think that you only are having one cup of cereal — but use a measuring cup just to be sure.
- Making your diet plan too restrictive. When starting a diet, people usually err on the side of caution and eat too little — a practice they aren’t able to maintain long-term. Also, a diet never means excluding major food groups like whole grains, fruits, or dairy.
- Not having a support system. When working on eating healthier, the more support you have the better. Tell others around you about your goals and let them know how they can best help you.
- Forgetting about exercise. People often ask me, “Which one is more important, diet or exercise?” I reply, “Do you want your airplane to have one wing or two?” Diet and exercise need to be done together — don’t forget to exercise regularly.
Thanks Em and Aggie

My friend whom I haven’t heard from in a while messaged me a few days ago and informed me that she is currently enrolled in one of the Regency Beauty Institute beauty school houston. Actually, I wasn’t surprised at all when I learned that she is taking up some beauty course because as I remember, she is the most vain amongst all my friends, she has been friends with make ups and hair dresses! Been flaunting herself with variation of fully dressed self complete with accessories and ala salon styled hair almost everyday! She likes dressing up and loves looking always pretty and prep up. That is why, after some years she has decided to take a big leap by studying fashion and beauty to the next level. I also heard that she’s thinking of building her own business someday, a Salon! what else? I know, she’ll make it big in that! Knowing that she’s studying in the most famous beauty institute in the US today.
