Happy YS everyone! God Bless...

My Dream Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:52:00 +0000

Months from now, hubby and I will be celebrating our 7th Wedding anniversary in Macau and we are so excited for this to happen. Speaking of anniversary, we are planning that on the 10th year we will be renewing our vows in a wedding scene like this:

It would be a beach wedding with a Pergola on it! I want it to have a solemn ceremony facing the sea breeze with the sun rising with our closest friends and family as we renew our vows. Hope this time would be a dream wedding come true. God-willing!

Gold Buying is In!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:33:00 +0000

Gold is on the move as it reaches its highest price in almost two weeks. The dollar continues to weaken, subsequently increasing the appeal of the yellow metal as an alternative investment. So true that the paper currency is becoming unattractive to investors and that they are instead leaning towards to buy gold online and other precious metals so they have access to believable currency.

Don’t you know that the gold is proven itself to be a very effective preserver of wealth for centuries but most often being ignored as an asset class by the investors? But in the end, as comes with any financial turmoil gold will continue to have a positive outlook for the future.

Welcome to DXB!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:25:00 +0000

My sister was so excited to welcome our brother just this morning as she fetched him at DXB international Airport. Thank you Lord that my brother arrived in Dubai safe and sound just this morning. So happy that they are now reunited with my sister in there. I hope and I’ll pray that both of them will prosper on their chosen path as they earn a living.

Missing you and we love you both!

Her Pasalubongs

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 08:21:00 +0000

According to Wkipedia the word Pasalubong is a Filipino tradition of a homecoming gift. It is a Tagalog, literally meaning "[something] meant for you when you welcome me back." It is one of the most distinctive and widely practiced Filipino traditions. Pasalubong can be any gift or souvenir brought for family, loved ones, or friends after being away for a period of time. It can also be any gift given by someone arriving from a distant place.

Speaking of pasalubongs, my brother who will be going to Dubai tonight is bringing the homecoming gifts for my sister. Actually, my sis requested him to bring her some of her favorite foods like pastels, dried pusit, chocolate polvoron and even dresses. I was really having a hard time looking for the dresses in the malls of her size and what she really wanted. I told her to go over online shops and look for the designs she wanted so as to save my time and effort in finding what she wants. Good thing I know this shop online which sells cheap sexy dresses, shoes, apparel, beauty and intimates. I really like to go and shop in here because they really have my taste and besides they’re selling it at an affordable rate.

Anyway, hours from now they will be seeing with my brother at the airport and that she is now so excited to wear the dresses and eat the foods she requested. God bless you both and enjoy your stay there bro! Love you!

The Nature of Business

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 04:01:00 +0000

Just this morning as we are on our way to the airport, we happened to pass by a business shop of our friend. Hubby told me that our friend got the right place where she put her business up because she has no competitors at all. Bang! That’s what he thought! Actually, I guess two of the same nature of business she’s into was also arising in the same place. Well, I told hubby that a business cannot really be called as business if there are no competitors at all.

Back to business, since I earned my business related degree hubby wants me to engage into like what he’s into. Well, it would be a great idea too but I guess if ever I’ll start one, I’d rather put up a wholesale/retail store of RTWs coming from abroad. Why because I know someone who can really help me in putting up stuffs like these. He referred to me about a retail store~ a one stop shop for all the retail store merchandising and supply needs.

For your info, this industry leads an assortment of over 7,500 products which contains many new and unique items that you will not find available anywhere else. You can only find it in them, so better check back often for the latest trends in their store innovation plus they have competitive pricing, no small order fees, and an easy ordering process help you get your store needs fast. Oh by the way, they also cater retail store fixtures and slat wall to mannequins and signage. What’s good about them? Every one of their products comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Okay then, I’ll try to invest in this kind of business so soon. God-willing!

Underarm Waxing

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:06:00 +0000

Which do you prefer doing~ plucking, shaving or waxing your underarm? For me, I'd rather go for waxing since it last longer rather than shaving or plucking.

Ouch! would be your fist word if you're a first timer.:) At first you can really feel a little pain but when you get used to it, painful no more! Three hours ago, I went for an underarm waxing (not as a 1st timer) and guess what?..I really feel good after the session because I do have a smoother underarm now.

Anyway, I'll wait for another weeks before I'll do my next session and am so excited to try also their Brazilian waxing. :) By the way, you can also do underarm waxing at home if you wish to.

Creativity in Us!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:17:00 +0000

I do believe that some members in our clan has this skill of creativeness. I mean they are innovative enough in every aspect. :) I remember one time when I happened to visit their new home I found a unique dining table. They asked me to guess where did they bought it but to my surprised that was the antique table of our great grandma which they turned into a beautiful and a new looking reclaimed wood dining table. Well, that's actually the work of my Uncle. Whew! Another creative artist in our clan, keep it up!

Yoyo Enthusiasts

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:44:00 +0000

Are you a yoyo enthusiasts or a member of a yoyo community? If so, for sure you already have your yo yo toy with you. Right? Actually this is a new innovative best product in the market with a high performance and an affordable metal toy.

By the way, let me tell you that I am so proud that I am a Filipino because the word yoyo is an Ilokano language which simply means come-come or return. Anyway, while writing this post I heard my hubby that he wants to buy one for himself and learn new tricks about yoyo because he misses this toy he used to play in his teenage years.

Campus Book Rentals Saves Student’s Money

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 09:41:00 +0000

For many decades students were buying their expensive college textbooks only to find them worthless at the end of the semester. This cycle was repeated semester after semester, year after year until graduation. Thankfully, Campus Book Rentals has changed the rules by allowing their clients to simply rent the textbooks that they need and return them at the end of the semester, allowing students to save over 50% per cost of a book. With free shipping both ways, there are no additional hidden fees associated with a textbook rental. The rental time periods suit the life of a busy college student with rental periods ranging from semester, to quarter, to summer rentals. There is a 15 day or 30 day rental extensions that can be purchased if you need to keep your textbook just a little bit longer in order to study for that big final exam. With Campus Book Rentals there are no regrets, even if you decide that you really should have purchased the book you can simply pay the difference between the rental price and the value of the book and keep it with you forever. If forever, doesn’t suit you and you decide that for any reason the textbook is not needed, feel free to return it, hassle free, within 30 days of ordering for a full refund. Whether you are Training Your Pet Ferret or learning Theoretical Nuclear Physics, you can be sure to find the exact textbook to suits your needs and your wallet.

Bunk Beds: Best for Limited Spaces!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 04:04:00 +0000

It’s always been my daughter’s dream to have a separate room of her own and be realized her Princess themed room decors as well as the furniture and fixtures. Since she is still sleeping with us in one room, all she does is always reminding us to start the building construction of our newly bought lot. Well, because of my little girl’s continuous reminders, we are about to begin the construction in 2 months time.

As part of the plan, we are considering our daughter’s desire to have a bed bunk of her own because she really wanted to have a stairs on her bed. :) Good thing that she chooses such beds because it can really save space and that we can maximize also the available floor space since we just had a limited area. By the way bunk bed is a type of bed in which one bed frame is stacked on top of another or also known as the double deck which allows two people to sleep in the same room.

Now, we are so busy looking for designs of bunk beds for kids, not just for my daughter but for my son too. I guess my little girl would surely love this....

I found this so useful because it does not only serve as s bed for her but it has a place to study and a place to organize! Another feature about this bed is you can customize the decors once in a while if you feel like you’re already bored about it. Cool huh! Well, not just kids who’ll love it but me as well. :)

Belated Birthday Surprise!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:05:00 +0000

Another surprised bouquet of flowers I got from my hubby yesterday! Actually, it was really a surprised one because he planned not to join me for our lunch that day because he was so busy at work. Tadaaa.... lunch time came and here he was with the red roses and gave it to me with his sweetest smile. I asked him what's this all about? A pre-valentine rose or what...he then whispered to me that it was his belated birthday flowers and at the same time our monthsary. Woottt....so sweet my hubby is!

I Love you so much my dear hubby! God Bless you more and more!

Wish its Winter Here!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:26:00 +0000

I guess that would be so impossible if we would be able to experience winter here in our country because we do have two seasons only- the wet and dry! I am some kinda’ jealous that I myself wanted to experience such like any other ones who are enjoying~ like my friends who are living miles away from us. To some they enjoy it much while the others hate it because they could not bear the coldness outside their homes.

Anyway, my friend may it be winter or not she has no problem about it. Being so fashionable makes her always be excited on what would be the trend as the seasons change. Now that they are experiencing winter, she is so excited when I told her about an online store that I just found who sale winter accessories like vests, jackets, and coats. It would be so timely when I told her about it because she’s currently looking for fur jackets for sale for her and for her kids because they will be joining a winter party.

I really love this store because they can cater all your needs when it comes to winter accessories. They can offer you wide range of different jackets, vests, coats of different colors and sizes if you want to plus a designers of your choice. Aside from the fact that they could offer you the best of quality winter accessories, their prices are so affordable as well. In fact, they can give you good deals on this.

Well, still hoping that it would winter here also. :) So what are you waiting for? Order now your best must have winter accessories!

Journey 2 in 3D!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:05:00 +0000

Just this evening I treat my hubby, daughter, bro, sis and cousins for a movie treat. Actually, this was just the continuation of my birthday celebration yesterday. We opted not to watch the Dinosaur's Alive because it's not worth it to pay the said cost so we preferred the movie treat! We really enjoyed the movie Journey 2 ~ The Mysterious Island...I really gave a two thumbs up for that movie. I really love Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock so much!!!!

If you haven't seen it better watch it now!

Perfume Collector

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:43:00 +0000

Some people loves the scent of a perfume while others are not! But we can apply exemptions in here maybe because to some they don't like the not gentle or shall we say mild-smelling scents instead they'd prefer the mild, pleasant and sweet smelling scents like me. :) Actually, I do love perfumes but I am not a collector of it but my sister does. She has different kinds of scents from expensive down to cheap perfume. Me? Well, I am just a waiting for her donations. :)

Last Christmas, she received another sets of fumes from her admirer.Wow so sweet of him! Another addition to her collections indeed!

They Want Boots!!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:59:00 +0000

Last week hubby and I together with our daughter went to the malls to look for a pair of boots. We happened to enter a boutique that sells cowboy boots and that hubby wanted to be back there again because he also wanted to have one. :) Anyway, back to my daughter's request until now we haven't bought her one because it's too expensive and that her feet nowadays are growing so fast. We are still looking for a cheaper pair and that of good quality as well.

Don't worry my dear because mommy and daddy would really buy one for you like the one you fit-in last week...Just be good in school! But for my hubby, better buy it yourself! lol

Loan to Achieve Your Personal Goal

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:48:00 +0000

Setting goals are important for many individuals. They can be small or large, depending on what type of goal you are attempting to complete. With some goals, you might need to secure a loan to help you along the way.

These types of goals can be going back to school, starting a business or building your dream home. Loans can be received through your bank or government funding depending on the type of goal you are attempting.

Applying for a loan to fulfill your personal goal is easy since there are a number of banks and lending companies that are more than eager to provide assistance to potential clients. You can also apply for loans over the Internet, such as securing online personal loans from greatplainslending.com. However, before you apply for one, here are things that you need to consider:

How Much Do You Need?

This is a particular question among individuals. It’s always best to take only the appropriate amount necessary for your goal. This is because the principal on the loan will grow over time. Look at the type of goal you have in mind and ask yourself how much you will need to complete it.

Goals such as starting a business or building your dream home will take a much larger amount. If your goal is to go back to school, you may not initially require a huge loan.

Finding a Low Interest Rate

All loans carry a form of interest that accrues when it is granted to a person. Government loans tend to have lower interest rates depending on what the need for the loan is. If you apply for a loan from a bank, you can expect to see high interest fees. If your loan is for educational purposes, consider a student loan that the government provides. For other needs, you may want to shop around first both online and offline.

Comparing Loans Online

There are hundreds of loan companies online, and they can offer you all the information you need to know about your potential loan. This is a great opportunity to compare interest rates with different companies. An interest rate of 3% is considered very low. However, this varies depending on the amount of the loan, and what it’s for. Remember to look into repayment options. Compare which companies give you plenty of time to repay your loan.

Repay Your Loan Back in a Timely Fashion

Your loan’s interest rate will continue to apply the longer you take to pay it back. Try to make your payments in achievable monthly sums that you can afford. Paying too little won’t affect your balance. Moreover, be sure to pay your loan back on time. If your payments are late or, let alone, missed, this can affect your chances of receiving a loan approval in the future.

Traffic Jam?

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 09:23:00 +0000

Yesterday I was with hubby and daughter, while on our way to the mall our car suddenly stopped in the middle of a downhill road. We thought it's just a short traffic jam but it took us 15-20 minutes to pass on the other side of the road. Only to find out that a certain vehicle broke down but sad to know that there were nobody lend a single help for them. Cops? security guards? nor even a roadside assistance club were there. I hope the mall would take an eye of a situation like these so that by next time it will not create a very long traffic jam for the shoppers.
