Sorting OutThe Gifts

Finally I had the time today sorting out gifts we got from the family party and the gifts we received from friends. I did not care about doing it after Christmas because I enjoyed relaxing at home. What a shame eh? The fun part here is taking a picture of the stuff we got at Mom and Dad's. They had the Christmas stockings for me and my honey. So here are the gifts inside our stockings.

MharMS: Victoria's Secret panties, candy cane, Godiva milk chocolate, umbrella, wit calendar, super beam cell phone flashlight, and an eye mask

Honey: Calvin Klein boxer shorts, candy cane, lavender bath soap, tire gauge, super beam cell phone flashlight, and laser finger beams

Selling Malfunctioning Watch?

You gotta be kidding me!

If you are a seller, you know your merchandise is in good condition right? And before selling the merchandise, you should check if it is working right? So how come a jewelry store associate does not know the watch my honey bought me for Christmas is not functioning?

The story is this. My honey surprised me with the watch he bought from that jewelry store. It is a lovely gold slim watch made without a second hand. The watch does not fit in my wrist perfectly so we went to the jewelry store to have it re-sized. After the associate re-sized the watch I tried it on and it fits! When I tried to set the time, I waited for the minute hand to move. After a while, it did not make any movement. So my husband asked with the associate to check the watch. The associate opened it and checked the battery only to find out it is very weak. It was replaced with a new one but the minute hand is still. Hhhmm...I was starting to get upset. "What is going on?" I asked myself. After minutes of waiting, the associate came up to the suggestion of replacing the watch. All right. So there is something wrong with my beautiful timepiece. Embarrassing, is not it? The associate will call us first thing tomorrow morning about the replacement.

Getting Rid Of Acne

I heard from my cousin this morning. She was sending her greetings to me and my honey. I am so happy because I talked to her today. She is getting busy with her new job.

When we were together in Manila, we used to hang out at the mall. When there is an interesting movie, we will watch it over and over again. If we are in the department store we go directly to kitchenware, appliance, shoes, and health/beauty department. We spend more time at health and beauty department looking for some products to treat her acne. I know it is a little bit awkward but she did not mind me help her on that.

Our other cousins are telling her to try an acne treatment product from Murad Acne. The Acne Complex product has a set of treatment that will help her get rid of acne. She was dealing with it for years now and it really affects her confidence as a woman. I heard this product is effective so I hope it will give my cousin the good result.


Personalized Photos and Greeting Cards As Decors

I do not know what you might think but I plan to keep our Christmas tree up until the first week of January. This is what my family used to do back home.

This is our first Christmas tree here. I was so excited when my honey bought it for us. It flatters me when visitors say our tree is pretty and looks professional. But it will look more beautiful in our house (Oh my God, I miss our house!). Though I have decorated our tree with Christmas ornaments, I have other unique decor in it. You see I put all the greeting cards we received during and after the Christmas week. Greetings from family and friends with personalized photos were pretty. So all of them are in our Christmas tree. What can you say?

Healthy Celebrity Smile

I just had my dental appointment in the middle of my working days. I felt a little bit awkward asking for a day-off because I am newly hired. But the appointment was set a month ago and for some insurance reasons, I have to go for it. My honey and I went to the dentist in Plano whom he sees for years now. He does cosmetic dentistry.

To me, dental health is very important. People with healthy teeth eat better. It also helps build self-confidence. In fact, there are dental products that help maintain healthy teeth. Dental veneers, for example, helps whiten teeth permanently and align smile perfectly. I will have some tooth to be crowned and they say veneers can be placed over the crowns without doing some replacement. Maintaining dental health is a part of our daily life and choosing reliable dental products should be considered for successful result. Then we can have a celebrity smile that everyone admires.


On Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas in Tyler. We drove there Wednesday night (December 24) after I got out from work in the department store at 6:30 P.M. My honey expected it to be 6:00 P.M. but I had to stay for the closing time to help segregate reports. Anyway, we made it to Tyler in time safe since the Interstate Highway was not busy with rushing traffic. Thanks God. We stayed overnight at my sister-in-law's house for the Christmas Eve. The whole family was there. I met my brother-in-law's stepdaughter for the first time (she is working in Egypt and she came home to spend the holidays with the family). We had fun with the exchange gift game. And oh, I cannot believe what I got for Christmas! ^_^

Had Fun Shopping

How can I stop my excitement? I had so much fun shopping gifts for the holidays. When I arrived home from work, I directly sat in front of my computer after dinner checking gift items online. I did not get the chance to roam around the stores since I got off from work late.

Maybe you now have the idea that I am crazy with purses and handbags. I know a good one when I see one. Budget wise, I consider good deals too but quality and durability are important to me. Branded and fashionable purses are in my list. There are many shopping websites online that offers quality shopping experiences on clothing, shoes, and accessories. Once you find one, you will keep visiting back and shop.

Financial Responsibility

You know I have been thinking about applying for a credit card for some time now. I know I need to be very careful about this. The question is, am I ready for it? We know that a credit card is convenient for use on quick payments. It is also of big help when we need cash up front. And terms of payment is affordable since there are low interest credit cards now. We are persuaded to get one from our trusted banks simply because these advantages provide convenience and most establishments accept credit card payments.

But having a credit card is a big responsibility. It is up to us if we use it out of control especially if we know that we have no interest credit card. Smart people compare credit cards first to know which has the best service. I guess this is the important thing to do. I do not want to get something that will cause me a headache when the time comes.

I was so busy today because there is non-stop coming of gifts in the gift wrap section. Whew! I had to wrap each gift double time to get all caught up. Good thing the secretary helped me until the last package.

We were having fun while gift wrapping because we got the chance to check the items to wrap. What we liked among the gifts were Dooney and Burke purses. They are so lovely.

Filipino-American Couples' Christmas Party

Somebody said it was going to be below 20 degrees last night. And we went out for a Fil-Am gathering last night in Grand Prairie. It was very very cold. Pinay Writer invited me to attend the party. I decided to go with my honey since I did not make it to the first one last week. I invited Norie too. We met new Filipina friends together with their husbands and kids. Everybody had a great time talking, laughing, joking, eating. Others were yelling in cheer while watching the Dallas Cowboys game on television. Boy, it was fun! Flashing cameras were in every corner of the house. Many thanks to Ate Beng for a wonderful hospitality at the party. And you know what, it was my great pleasure to meet Pinay Writer, In Demand Opinions and wife MJ's Hurrah, and everybody at the party. We really enjoyed the night.

For the Filipina who served the "pineapple", cheers girl! Make some again. I am not allergic to that. Hahaha!!!Bookmark and Share Review My Post

This Won't Make Him Shiver In The Winter

We cannot hold back the days. Winter is here. My honey told me of how cold it is here in the USA. He advised me to get myself some winter clothing. The weather is unpredictable here in Texas. So it is better to be always prepared in this cold season. I bought some sweaters and leggings. My mother-in-law gave me a coat. With the stuff I have, I noticed that my honey do not have a coat for himself except for a couple of jackets in the closet. Those will not help better to keep him warm. I guess it is time for me to do some work here.

Now I have the idea of giving him something that will not make him shiver in the winter. And I am currently in favor with men's wool coats. These coats are made with high quality wool and cashmere that helps keep our bodies warm in cold weather in the winter. Men's wool coat can also be worn on formal occasions because they are tailored with elegance. Most men has a sense of fashion, so is my honey. He will surely love to wear the wool coat and he will definitely look more gorgeous in it.

On Dental Health

Though it is freezing outside, today is not a cool day for me and my honey. He is feeling sore, I am groggy and weak. The half part of my face is throbbing with pain after the molar tooth extraction. My honey had his teeth drilled and cleaned.

When I took the pain reliever pill, I feel like I am drunk. My body automatically settled on the couch. My gum has stopped bleeding. Though the dentist is very light during the extraction process, I cannot help sweating. Maybe because I still have the feeling of that "first time". But for long-term health and fitness, it should be done. Dental health is one of the most important health concerns that we should not neglect.

Play, Learn, Win

I got to the point when my mind gets blank. As in nothing comes to mind...nothing much to do. One time I was just in front of the computer browsing, reading, typing and clicking. I was bored. Then a website caught my interest. I wanted to be entertained so I explored the website WiseOz.com. It appears to me that WiseOz.com is a free contest-based website where players or participants are able to participate in games, polls, trivia, and other types of interesting play-as-you-please games.

I enjoyed playing in the trivia category since that is what I like the most. The process is to look for the games that interest you in WiseWits. What is more exciting is that there are games where you have to solve clues. In this way, the players or participants can apply their experience, creativity, and know-how to get the chance to solve clues. And you know what? WiseOz.com is giving prizes to players who complete and solve the challenges of the games. Awesome! Also you can interact with other players with the same interests in WizeOz.com's community. It is moderated so no cheating. ^_^

Decors For The Holidays

Like other wives out there, I too, is presently busy in decorating the house for the holidays. Actually we already bought a 6-foot Christmas tree on Monday night. We picked the one which has the various color of lights that come along with it. My honey and I had it decorated as soon as we arrive from the mall. Some of the decors were bought from the garage sale few months ago. The others are my honey's from last year. I am happy with the decorating outcome so far. It is just the way I wanted. What we will do next is to finish shopping gifts for the loved ones. Then we will figure out what gifts to bring for the party which will be held at my in-laws' house in Tyler on Christmas Eve.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Finally my hearing is back to normal. I had to see the doctor yesterday because I my ear was clogged for a week. I was so worried. Then yesterday was a relief.

Before my ear was checked, the doctor asked a lot of questions regarding my medical history. She checked my blood pressure (BP), pulse rate, and body temperature. As of yesterday, December 8, 2008, my BP is 108/70 and my body temperature was 83. Seven months ago my BP was 110/80. The doctor said it is normal. As the doctor went over to my answers, she said my family and I are healthy. After that she started looking inside my right ear. Then everything was set for the cleaning. The doctor used warm water with peroxide and squirted using a syringe for a couple of times inside my ears until my ears were cleansed. I was so tickled during the whole process. But the result was a relief. I can hear the noise around me pretty clearly. A prescription of ear drops was given to me to apply within 3-5 days after irrigation to clean and reduce the swelling of the ears.

Vacation And Recreation In London

We received an early Christmas greetings from my brother-in-law and his family. It is a personalized family picture with words of greetings printed on it. The picture was from their vacation in London two months ago.

When we came over to their house in Prosper (one of the cities in Northern Texas) the weekend of my honey's birthday, his wife showed us all the pictures they have taken from their trip. I was so amazed looking at the palace, London Tower and Museum. They also have the pictures of King Henry VIII's armor. During their vacation, they went to see different recreations in London. There were shops, picture taking with the palace guards, and horse racing. London is also home to great recreational places. And horse racing at Kempton Park is one of them. I wonder if my brother-in-law and his family spend a few hours watching the race. I would be great to see horses running as fast as they can in the field. I bet it was fun to watch the horse racing in London.


Customers First

It was a busy day at work today. Shoppers were in line at the customer's service paying for shipping, gift cards, gift wrapping and other services. I was wrapping gifts the whole day. The manager gave me a bunch to work with. And they were business suits. Good thing he will get them at the end of the day so I was not in a hurry. He said, "Customers first."

In gift wrapping you have to have your own style and routine. These will help the wrapping quick and easy. Also a wonderful skill to learn. Anyway, as what my honey and I were teasing about me working at the mall, I brought home a list of the gifts I wrapped since from the first day at work. Then I told him that from the list I am going to choose the items I want him to buy for me. The listing will continue until Christmas day. He had a good laugh on that.

Gifts I wrapped as of December 4, 2008:

1. Long-sleeved Sweat Shirt (men)
2. Coat, scarf, winter gloves, GC (women)
3. Gold bracelet (women)
4. Fossil Wallet (men)
5. Chocolates and Teddy bear
6. Business suits (men)
7. Nike shoes (men and women)
8. Purple blouse (women)
9. Bed sheet and vases
10. Calvin Klein shaving cream and after shave (men)
11. Diffuser
12. Punch set

Learned Another Lesson

My goodness! I did not know it was freezing cold this morning when I go to work. Yesterday was a bit warms and I enjoyed feeling the fresh sunshine on my skin. On my way to work today I was shivering and could not help utter words of help to the heavens. Letting you know, Dillard's Mall is just a walking distance from the apartment. My honey's work schedule is 8:30 in the morning, mine is 10:00 o'clock. So he leaves earlier than I. As I was saying, the freezing cold was penetrating in the innermost part of my veins. I have coat but because I am not used to wearing large sizes, I did not wear it. And I will be late if will go back to the apartment to get it. As a consequence, I ended with nasal congestion...again. Another learned lesson. (Sigh)


Special Adventure Gift

If you have relatives or friends who loves to go to an adventure (hunting for example), give them the special gift this Christmas.

I Want My Right Ear Back

When there is something wrong in our body chances are we become irritable right? And when we are, everything we see and do is annoying to us.

My hearing capacity is not good these days. My right ear is clogged and I do not know how to clear it anymore. That is why I am feeling irritable. My honey and I tried putting some hydrogen peroxide in my ear to cleanse it. But nothing happens. I searched online for remedies and cleansing with hydrogen peroxide is one of them. Some say using Q-tips or Swab is inadvisable. I feel so annoyed because I cannot hear clearly. It is been close to a week now. Anyway, I requested an appointment to a doctor nearby to check my ear on Monday. I want to know what is going on in there.

You know, it is alright with me if I do not receive the gift cards and stuff I want in my wish list on the holidays just to get my better hearing back. I would be satisfied.

A Reliable Web Hosting Service Benefits Your Website

For months now I think of getting my own domain name and hosting for my blog. But I am having second thoughts. I am trying to figure out where to buy a web hosting service that is giving the reliable benefits. Also, I want to learn more about creating sub-domains and their advantages. They said that it is better to buy the domain name for your website from the web hosting company you want the hosting for it. So far I hear good feedback from other website owners about this. It is important to know which company has the best rating when it comes to web hosting. Once the website is set up with a good web hosting service, the benefits of making money from the website will arrive in numbers.

Though I cannot make a decision yet, I will take the opportunity of the web hosting tutorials that are offered online. This is very helpful to the individual like me who is working on making money on the internet, and to the people who bring their business ventures online.

Thanksgiving to me has a very deep meaning.



Breaking The Habit

I should start breaking the habit of staying up late at night. Besides getting under eye bags, it is not (and never will be) good for my health and fitness. Now that I will start working tomorrow, I need to go to bed early. My honey is always telling me that. I am used to get up at 6:00 o'clock every morning before. Since I got here in the USA I am getting used to waking up at 9:00 A.M. How can I make it to waking up 6:30 every morning now? I know I should set my system back to what is right. It is for my own good.

Online Entertainment Magazine

It has been a habit to listen to music on the radio. To me music gives extra motivation while working in the office or driving especially when going on a long travels somewhere. At home, either my radio or CD player is on most of the time. And if I want to listen to the latest hits or if I want to read about what is going on in the music world, I just surf for multimedia online magazine on the internet.

When I was in my teens I love collecting song hits magazine. It is a magazine of compiled popular songs of different genre-from oldies, pop music and R & B hits. I think these magazines still exist today. But in the growing technology of the internet, we can find our favorite songs and music types online. We can even read updates from our favorite music artist interviews. And trends in the music scene that I have always admired have played a big influence to the teenagers today. Singersroom.com has all the features in providing latest news, music videos, photos, and current updates about our favorite artists. A huge collection of celebrity videos and pictures are entertaining to see. If you are a music fanatic like me, you might want to check out Singersroom.com now.

Huge Deal On Cartier Women's Watch

This is the time of the year to shop for great buy accessories for women. I know accessories and jewelry is a woman's weakness. No doubt. No question. Do not argue. Woman like me loves to shop. I started looking for gift items for my husband and myself early October. Surfing the internet for great deals from online stores are my hobby right now. And I am looking for a particular jewelry that I have been missing recently.

This is what concerns me right now. How can I get a replacement for my watch? It has been in its malfunction mode for a couple of months now. Of course my husband knows it. And looks like he is not paying attention when I told him I want the Cartier watch which I saw on the internet. ^_^ It is amazing to find a huge deal on cartier womens watch. They are proved to be durable and of good quality timepieces. The designs are so feminine made with gold, silver, leather straps, and with diamond accents. The wide variety of styles has completely showed the luxury watches' best prices that a shopper can get from ladies watches. TheWatchery.com is now having huge discounts on men and women's watch. This is the right time to get one for you and your loved one.

Playing Possum: The phrase comes from the fact that real live opossums have an unusual way of protecting themselves from predators. If attacked, they respond by lying on their sides and pretending to be dead.

No Glaciers: Every continent on Earth has glaciers, except one, Australia. Glaciers are huge masses of ice found at high altitudes. The world's largest glacier covers most of Antarctic.

Monitor Your Husband's Location Now


Are you a jealous person? Do you easily get upset whenever your loved one, partner or husband, goes out with friends without you? I am a jealous woman (not overly so) and my husband knows that. Sometimes I call him 15 minutes past the time he is supposed to call me, and asking him what time is he coming home. He would say, "Sorry honey I forgot to tell you that I worked 15 minutes late tonight. I am on my way home now." At least I know why. I am not trying to be tight with my husband by monitoring his every move. I just want to make sure he is behaving good. ^_^

I know somebody who is a very jealous woman. She is a friend back home and she is always with her boyfriend wherever he goes except to work. They are living together for years now. We had a small talk one day telling me how irritated she was because she did not know where her partner went the other night. And she hated that. I jokingly told her that if she wants to monitor her man, she should use a GPS tracking device. Well that was not a bad suggestion. It would be helpful since she wants to know where he is at every minute. And if she is a little bit suspicious, it would be easy for her to follow him on track.

Anyway, knowing that I am watched or tracked is somewhat uncomfortable to me. I feel like I am not trustworthy or what. But somehow, tracking devices are very useful for businesses like logistics. They make the transporting of goods easy and reduce the problem of losing contact with the transport personnel.


Shivering, Freezing, Chilling

While I am typing this post my fingers are still stinging cold! Why? I just arrived from the grocery store. My friend Norie and I went to Target to buy stuff for dinner tonight. We walked to the store since it is walking distance from the apartment. Wearing a jacket on top of my clothes is not enough.

And we had the "courage" to walk back to the apartment after getting the groceries we need, struggling against the freezing wind while carrying the bags full of stuff. My hands are chilling, face muscles shivering as the cold wind blows on my skin, and feeling the goose bumps all over my body. I am starting to have a runny nose. It is freezing cold outside!!!

Leave Me Alone, Migraine!

I was not feeling well for two days. The throbbing pain in my head is intense. That is why I have not done much at the apartment. After a walking routine around the complex in the morning yesterday, I just stayed in the apartment until late in the afternoon to check the mailbox. But I have not done that either. So I just cooked dinner-pork sinigang, fried tilapia fillet, and rice. Then I relaxed myself on the couch changing television channels while waiting for my husband. My honey arrived home with the mails in hand.

Agh! I wish this migraine will leave me alone!
