what’s your camera?

mich — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:48:15 +0000

With more and more digital cameras (both point and shoot and DSLRs) getting more affordable, it’s no wonder that more people are into photography these days. With a few of our friends being serious hobbyists. It’s amazing to look at some of the photos that they’ve taken. While we do have our own entry-level DSLR we still have a long way to go in learning how to really take advantage of using the camera at manual mode. One thing I noticed though that most of our friends use a canon camera which makes it hard to borrow lenses or even buy their old ones when they upgrade since we use a different brand.

what a week

mich — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:32:12 +0000

After spending two weeks in Adelaide with hubby, we came back to Sydney and prepared for E to start term 3. And what do you know, the night before the first day, E started to have tummy ache and for the next 3 days we battled a mild bout of stomach flu. The day he went back to school was the day our baby girl started having diarrhea, GREAT!! right?! And yep, you probably guessed it it was hubby’s turn during the weekend. Not really a pleasant time in our home the past two weeks. I really hope before the week ends everything will be back to normal, I’m really at wits end right now.

Anyways, I have to remind hubby to pick up some custom travel mugs at the store for a friend, he wanted to get one during his visit but missed the chance.

vitamins

Speaking of supplements, what are the best vitamins for women? Those that would help give us the nutrients that we need daily when we don’t get them with our food intake. Good thing that the different health companies have some products that are spefically targetted for women’s health. Multi-vitamins that are formulated for what women need it is really welcome compared to multi-vitamins before that were generic to both male and female.

age

mich — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 12:20:51 +0000

With really long days the past months, I am really starting to feel my age or maybe even older. And I think it is also starting (or maybe pretty evident?) to really show physically. I think I need to start taking health supplements religiously (some even suggest hgh supplements to look younger/defy ageing) and do some exercise regimen but I am too lazy haha! Well, have to start sometime right?!

hello from adelaide

mich — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 12:05:50 +0000

We’re currently in Adelaide, tagging along with I. Met up with a friend and she took us to the central markets and to Glenelg beach. E really enjoyed the afternoon at the beach and asked me again today if we can go back again. And maybe we will as it’s only a 20 minute tram ride from the city. Going around the local mall today, I can see that there are still a lots of sales going with various discounts. Saw some women hoarding makeup supplies (with probably that brand’s best eye cream for wrinkles) and some shoes (which were at half off). Lots of deals too with mobile phones at the different mobile retailers. Will have to check out the kids/baby shops to see if they have good deals, and maybe pick up some stuff for E & S.

home safety

mich — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:44:25 +0000

There’s been a lot of stories on the news lately about home invasion or people getting attacked in their own homes. It really is a scary thought that something might happen to you in your own home where it is supposed to be the one place that you’re safe. For those that own homes or even those that are renting like us, it would be wise to re-check their home security. Maybe change deadbolt locks, a more stronger screen doors or even look into installing security systems. Let’s take all the precautions possible to be safe.
