Have you seen the latest news about this certain medical group that has been being subject false practice of doing butt augmentation? Have you seen the result? It was tragic! Perfectly done wrong, for they used a certain substance that the US medical center doesn't allow to use because of side effects that it can bring. It was a total turn off for the famous clinic, and for me it was a real spank for them since people will most probably think twice if they will get their service, with all the negative feed backs? I don't know what can happen to them. That is why, I guess every service and practice must be taken really seriously, with all the reviews, studies and all.
And even for people who wanted to try body beautification and all, better do some research like this reading, example is this lipofuze reviews that is being give for free by dietpillcritic.com for those who are thinking of trying this weight loss product. Just to be sure and all.

Talking to a friend earlier and told me her plan of ordering Baby Invitations for her sister's baby shower this coming September. Although she can create one because she love scrap booking and she has so many kits that can be use, she just can't. Blame it on her super demanding work schedule. Though she tried so many times, but to no avail, because of tiredness and lack of mojo she can't come up with a nice shower invitations.

Thank heavens for cards-411.com! a one stop online shop for all personalized invitations and announcement cards! With their hundreds of beautiful designs to choose from, you'll sure be able to find one that effects to you. So from this site is where my will order personalized invitation baby shower also known as invitations shower for her sister's party!

Now I guess it's time to think of what gift to give!

Yeba! My parcel arrived at the post office! :) One of their staff called earlier and told me that a small box has arrived and can now be pick up! (insert jumping jacks). So there, will be gone for a while to get my little something, I just hope that my artscow prints are also there already so I wouldn't have to go back.
Will post photos of my loots when I get back! tata!

Even we dont get to travel a lot as a family (we usually travel with relatives when some of them go home from the US), I always look for travel destinations we can go to. I look for family-friendly places so that I won’t get stressed keeping them entertained. My ideal travel vacation is to be able to lounge around peacefully while the kids play and are occupied but safe (can you tell I dont get that much peace at home?)

The Riviera is garnering some buzz about their newly opened resort not only are they popular for a romantic cancun vacation but a family destination vacation as well. They have all inclusive mexico resort deals that lure customers all the time. I see that the Azul Beach Resort is the family friendly resort there. Azul Beach Hotel Resort, on a beautiful stretch of the Bahia Pentempich beach in Puerto Moreles, re-opened this season after being completely redesigned, and is the first boutique all-inclusive resort. With just 98 rooms, a gourmet-inclusive dining philosophy and many family-friendly amenities, Azul Beach Hotel offers families a new way to vacation. Parents are pampered with adult-sized indulgences as well as extras like strollers, cribs, baby milk heaters, beach games, coloring books, refrigerators for milk and medicines, and even kid-sized bathrobes Sounds divine!!!

The green table will be perfect for my daughter. She can use it as a study table.

Thanks Yen! I will keep this in mind next time as I love to photograph my family.

1.This is hard to deal with, so get ready because the first step is to leave your laptop, card readers and non-vacation paraphernalia at home. Take your cameras, cell phone and lots of film or memory cards, but leave the computer at home. Nothing is more irritating to family members than to watch you sort and edit your images during downtime. You are supposed to be relaxing, so leave the editing for when you get home. You will have a better vacation and so will they.

2. By all means, take pictures of the family. This is my wife and daughter years ago in Paris, a very important image for me. Know when to stop, however. One happy photo like this is worth a thousand forced smiles in front of monuments. The next vital rule you need to break is to NOT take your camera everywhere. You are not covering your vacation for “Newsweek” and you don’t need to lug your camera to every dinner and night out. I know we all learn to carry our cameras at all times, but for the sake of your family, leave it behind sometimes.

3. Plan your photography junkets. My wife likes to sleep longer than I do and early morning light IS the best. Plan to get up early and get to your photo target. Plan your target location the night before, so you can be efficient. Shoot until you are satisfied and bring some coffee and croissants back to the hotel room for you to enjoy as your spouse awakes. You get pictures of some local color and nobody gets hurt.

4. Make sure you get some images the family will like when you are out on your junkets. This will make them like your photography more when you make them look at the pictures. Take photographs that “describe” your location. This was taken at the famous Kukenhoff Gardens in Amsterdam. How could you go to Holland and not take pictures of tulips? If you are in the Midwest, photograph the cornfields; in Colorado take pictures of the mountains. Take pictures that will help you recall the fun you had on your vacation

5. Take the postcard pictures. Every location has some key sites that you must take just to remind yourself that you were there. In Paris it is the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame. In New York it is the city skyline. In this picture is Place de Armes in Montreal. These key sites will help you remember your trip, and if you go a lot of places you will have your own “postcard” pictures from around the world. It’s your vacation, so enjoy it. They are your memories, so record them carefully. Most of all, they are your family–so be kind and considerate.

Diabetes is such a debilitating disease. It truly is – I have a friend whose father and grandmother suffer from diabetes. It runs in their blood. Her grandmother needs special things like diabetic shoes , an egg crate mattress and periodic insulin shots. Not only it is tiring to watch her diet, it also burns a hole in their pockets. It is a good thing that they can order through AllegroMedical.com through her father’s sister who lives in the US. Medical stuff and equipment are cheaper there and her aunt buys things in bulk and send them in boxes here. Everything is ordered online too and they even have automatic delivery you just need to set orders and dates!

Here's an excerpt of the interview of the Author of the Book, In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms.

WSJ: You’re very insistent that mothers should stay at home as full-time moms for the sake of the child. But given our current economic crisis, is that feasible for couples who may require two salaries to make ends meet?
Dr. Laura: Of course this is a huge concern right now with money issues being so tight. But what I have discerned is that people of modest means have been able to handle what’s going on far better than people who are used to having a lot of stuff; it’s the people who put their life’s worth into products, and not people, that are probably the most shell-shocked.
One thing I’ve been happy as peach pie about — because I’m all about the children and the happiness of a woman because that makes the happiness of the home — is that nannies, day cares and babysitters are all collapsing, which is forcing moms and dads to raise their children at home. I’ve gotten a huge surge of mail and calls from people who didn’t make the choice to be at home with their kids, but are just now realizing how wonderful and beautiful it can be. A home should be more than just a place to park yourself after a frenzied day of too much work. So even though there’s less cash, people seem to be happier.
WSJ: What do you tell women who are hesitant to leave their jobs?
Dr. Laura: You know how when you try to quit smoking you chew gum? You replace one thing with another because it distracts you. What I would tell these women is that they’re spending too much time thinking about what they have to give up, and feeling angry about not being valued. Look at me — I made the transition from being a powerhouse to being at home, folding laundry. What they need to do is find value elsewhere. I tell these women to look in their children’s eyes. When your husband comes home, wrap your body around him at the door and look at his eyes. What people need to learn is that it’s not about the drudgery of housework — it’s about being at home for all of those incredible moments that make your life more valuable than the person who replaced you at work. No one can replace mom. Kids who don’t have moms suffer a lifetime.
“I have been attacked incessantly for supposed hypocrisy concerning this issue of child care; I couldn’t possibly have done all the things required of my career without neglecting my son. Well, those critics are just plain wrong”
Read an excerpt from “In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms”
WSJ: What questions should working mothers ask themselves when deciding whether to quit their jobs and become stay-at-home mothers?
Dr. Laura: The nut questions should be: Do I feel fulfilled as a woman? Do I feel like my husband’s girlfriend? Do I feel like I have touched the soul of my kids? Those will help you decide.
WSJ: At what point do you advise mothers to go back to work?
Dr. Laura:The answer is never. One woman asked me the other day when I think mothers should be home, and I told her, “Whenever your kid is at home.” When [my son] Deryk started kindergarten, it was from 8 to 3. So I arranged to be on the air from 11 to 2. That was it. He always had a mom. Quite frankly, my mom was one of the least warm mommies out there. Nonetheless, when I came home from school, she was always there and it made me feel safe.
WSJ: Do you think it’s possible for a working mother to raise a smart, successful child?
Dr. Laura: I didn’t write this book about working moms. I wrote it in praise of stay-at-home moms. It’s a wonderful choice, but to be absolutely truthful, having been on both sides of this mentality, my heart hurts for what these women miss and what their children miss from them. No argument, no criticism. My heart just hurts — because when you get those pudgy arms around your neck, and being told you’re someone’s lullaby — the fact that a woman would miss that is so, so sad

Memos from your child

1. Don't spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for. I'm only testing you. (hehehe true!)
2. Don't be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it; it makes me feel more secure.
3. Don't let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in the early stages.
4. Don't make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me behave stupidly "big".
5. Don't correct me in front of others if you can help it. I'll take much more notice if you talk more quietly with me. (I should conscientiously do this)
6. Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins. It upsets my sense of values.
7. Don't protect me from consequences, I need to learn the painful way sometimes.
8. Don't be upset when I say "I hate you." It isn't you I hate, but your power to thwart me.
9. Don't take too much notice of small ailments, sometimes they get me the attention I need.
10. Don't nag me. If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf.
11. Don't make me rash promises. Remember that I feel badly let down when promises are broken.
12. Don't forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I should like. That is why I'm not always very accurate.
13. Don't tax my honesty too much. I am easily frightened into telling lies.
14. Don't be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and makes me lose faith in you.
15. Don't put me off when I ask you questions. If you do you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere.
16. Don't tell me my fears are silly. They are terribly real and you can do much to re-assure me if you try to understand.
17. Don't ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too great a shock when I discover that you are neither.
18. Don't ever think that it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm to you.
19. Don't forget how quickly I'm growing up. It must be very difficult for you to keep pace with me but try please.
20. Don't forget that I love experimenting. I couldn't get on without it, so please put up with it.
21. Don't forget that I can't thrive without lots of love and understanding from you, but this I don't have to mention, do I?

I have to be honest.

I don’t know anything about the stock market. I cannot understand how stock options become real money and how the stock market is shaky because of big companies losing lots of money.

However, a friend of mine is a stock broker and he tried to explain how to do covered calls for me. It is easier for him since he uses the PowerOptions tool which has patented SmartSearchXL® technology that makes it easier for him to automatically sort, filter, and analyze all 3,000+ optionable stocks and 195,000+ options online to find investments to meet his profit goals.

Yes, one should always remember that one is unique is his or her own way! Never compare yourself with others because there will always be someone who be greater and lesser than you.

You are YOU!
And that is all that matters!
You’re smart. You’re funny. You’re beautiful.

Repeat that to yourself everyday!

1. If your boss says, “I would like to talk to you about your internet usage” what would your first reaction be?
:: I will get nervous as I am guilty for using the internet for personal stuff!

2. If you SO asks you “Does this make me look fat?” how do you answer?
:: I am honest with my husband so yes I will tell the truth

3. What is one thing that you pay for, but resent having to do so?
:: My internet!

4. A day is being created in honor of you. How should we celebrate it?
:: Shopping without guilt!

5. What CD or Album in your music collection do you secretly enjoy, but would be embarrassed if others heard you grooving to it?
:: Britney Spears!

6. How long do you think you would last if you were a contestant on Survivor?
:: I hate the sun so I doubt I will last for 24 hrs even!

Thanks, Yen!

You all know we bake and sell cupcakes for all occasions as a sideline job right? Well, lately, we have been getting a lot of orders for cupcakes for baby showers! We have received five batches of orders and it’s not even the end of the month yet. It seems more and more couples are having babies. As for me, I’d prefer  personalized baby gifts for my baby shower over diapers and bottles because Id want to have something that can be a keepsake for my child in the years to come. I have so many favorites at BabyNest.Com.

Here is one of them:

1. What are your favorite colors?
+ Purple.

2. What is your favorite kind of clothing to wear? Why? What’s your least favorite?
+ Jeans and shirts! I love comfortable clothes. You wouldnt catch me wearing anything in leather though.

3. Do you like to take showers or baths? Why/why not?
+ Both. I love taking a bath and taking showers whenever chance I get.

1. Do you ever get a ‘break’ from people (Say your S.O. goes on a personal vacation or something)? If you do, do you like the time alone? Why/why not?
+ I’d love to have me time from time to time. It gives me the chance to do anything I want. Having a kid, that’s not always possible.

2. Do you think being alone is a bad thing? Why/why not?
+ Of course not!

3. Everyone gets lonely sometimes. How do you cope with being lonely? What do you do to make that feeling go away?
+ Im lonely these days – I try and cope with it by listening to music and talking with friends. I still get sad a lot though.

Well what do you know? As soon as I gave the go signal to the husband that he can buy gear and equipment for his new hobby – paintball (or war games), he has been scouring the net looking for cheap airsoft guns .He wants a complete set of gear since he wants to take this hobby of his to the next level! I told him to go look at ZephyrAirSoft.com. Zephyr Sports was founded in 2003 as an internet retailer focusing on the sport of paintball and offers low prices and free shipping on most stuff! He was so happy!

1. Are you generally healthy? Do you have anything that requires a regular prescription of some sort?
+ Id like to think I am. Save for migraine attacks Im OK!

2.Do you react okay to drugs your doctor gives you when you have an infection or a condition?
+ I need medicines for my migraines – there are even meds that dont work anymore, it’s making me scared.

3. Have you ever had a bad experience/allergic reaction to any drugs you’ve been given by a doctor?
+ None that I remember.

1. Do you watch TV? If so, what kinds of things do you watch? If not, why not?
+ Yes, I do. ABS CBN shows mostly.

2. If you watch TV, what are your favorite types of programs? Which ones do you watch? If you don’t watch TV, what do you do instead?
+ Soap operas, talk shows

3. Can you imagine a world without TV? What do you think it would be like? Do you think it would be a better place to be?
+ No I cant imagine the present without TV! I’d go crazy! But I’d go crazier without the internet!

Paintball is gaining more hobbyists. The mock war game has attracted men from all ages, doctors and students alike, and they troop to battle fields every weekend. I was surprised how expensive airsoft gear is! The husband has been fan ever since paintball became a hype and he would just usually rent equipment and gear. Until I found out about the price! I told him it would be better if we just buy the gear for now since it will be an investment for him as well. ZephyrAirsoft.com carries Airsoft and Airgun / BB Gun Gear with low prices and free shipping on Airsoft guns including AEG Rifles, spring guns and Co2 and gas guns, Airsoft safety gear, bb’s and magazines!

1. Do you have any hobbies? If so, what are they? If not, what do you do with your down time?
+ Photography, Baking and Shopping of course!

2. What do you like to do for fun?
+ Read books, listen to music, window shop, chat with friends.

3. Do you go out much? Where do you like to go? What kinds of things do you like to do?
+ We don’t go out much these days. I’d like to go out and eat and drink coffee when I have the chance though.

1. More work!
