Two step stool

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:27:00 +0000

Since I bought my two step stool I could now reach spots where i didn't use to reach before whenever I am cleaning my place. And, there is no more dust in those areas. I could definitely say that my place is a lot cleaner and dust-free. It is nicer to breathe with fresh clean air around. Unlike before dust irritated me big time. I couldn't understand where these dusts came from??? And, even it is snowing dust still exist. The furnish of the house is dusty, too, and, I am just so glad I bought my two step stool, it is now a lot easier for me to clean the spots where I can't even reach before. Just amazing!

Happy Heart Day to all...

Someone Like You by: Adelle

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:49:00 +0000

First Grammy award went to Adelle, with her song "Someone Like You"

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl
And you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
Old friend why are you so shy
Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but
I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don't forget me I beg I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but
I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

Never mind I find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don't forget me I beg I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes they're memories made
Who would have known how bitter-sweet this would taste

Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me I beg I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind how I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don't forget me I beg I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, Yeah!

The Vow

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:42:00 +0000

"The Vow" starred by one of my favorite actresses, Rachel McADAMS is once again portraying a role similar to the movie "The Notebook". Every people I know is been waiting for this movie to be shown. They can't simply wait to see "The Vow" and fall in love again.

I've read reviews about this and one person said that, "The Vow is a lot like "The Notebook" the loosing of memory and just about everything is just like "The Notebook", and the person which reviews I read was very disappointed.

Well, I still hope that, this could be one of the greatest movies of all time. And, I still want to see this movie though..and It's showing now in all theaters.

I just want to share the synopsis of this movie and I still think this could be good, although I admit I was kinda a bit discouraged, however, the vow is based on true events accordingly.

Synopsis

Paige and Leo are a happy newlywed couple whose lives are changed by a car accident that puts Paige in a coma. Waking up with severe memory loss, Paige has no memory of Leo, a confusing relationship with her parents, and an ex-fiance she may still have feelings for. Despite these complications, Leo endeavors to win her heart again and rebuild their marriage.

What to wear to a Valentine's Party?

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:50:00 +0000

I am actually struggling of finding the right dress to wear to a Valentine's Party. I just don't have an idea to what dress should I buy??? I know, there are tons and tons of dresses out there, but, my concern is, which one that would fit me perfectly??? Oh! My..I've never thought that finding for the right dress for any occasion would be as hard, because before, I usually just wear anything that I felt like using and didn't care if it looks good on me or not. But this time I am a bit picky. What the heck??? whew!

Will I go for a short sexy dress, long dress, sequin dress or cocktail dress??? I ain't no clue at all.

Oh! My...I wish I could get to decide before the valentine's party arrives.

Been browsing online a lot, and my head is hurting pretty bad and been lacking sleeps as well. Oh! My...I again never thought that this could be as as hard that's giving so much head aches.

Any idea??? Help!!!!!!!!!!

Bell Vortex Helmet

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:58:00 +0000

My male cousins as well as my brother loves to ride a bicycle, and back in our province law enforcement officers are not that strict when it comes to safety of the bikers. Even with or without a helmet they can just ride all they want,and everywhere they want. However, I am thinking of buying my brother and cousins this Bell Vortex helmet, and I am pretty sure that they would absolutely love this a lot. And, lately the police officers have been starting to give ticket to all bikers that are not using helmet. This would be so great for my brother and cousins.

Superbowl 46

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:54:00 +0000

When I was in high school, I played many different kinds of sports from badminton, track and field, softball, swimming, javelin throw, discuss throw, and volleyball, but little did I know about American football. Living in a far flung province of Jolo Sulu, I wasn't really aware that American football exist. I wasn't into watching television as well, for we didn't have one. Newspaper was and still is a bit expensive and just can't afford to subscribe either.

Only when I started working in an American company in Manila then, that was the time I was aware that American football is a huge thing. We even bet to what team will win the Superbowl back in February 6, 2005. I won and earned some pesos that time. It's not that I knew how the game was being played and, it's not also that I knew the teams were. I just picked the team which I thought sounds good to my ears. And, that time I picked the The patriots of New England against the Philadelphia eagles of Pennsylvania , it's because I love hearing the word "Patriots".

And, now, Superbowl 46, The Patriots will be playing again for the championship on this coming Sunday, February 5, 2012, at Indianapolis, Indiana. This time I am still going to root for the Patriots, it's not because they are my favorite football team but simply because, it's the repeat of 2005, hopefully I would win again, and this time the currency is no longer peso, it's $$$! Whew!!!

We'll see. This is going to be one heck of a great Sunday game, where all Americans will be glued on their huge television and root for the team they like, and there would be a famous Superbowl pateeee!!!

Chicago TV

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:32:00 +0000

Post contributed by Toni Jensen

I got Dish TV Chicago when I first moved here and I sure am glad I did. At first I figured I wouldn't be watching it too often but as it turns out one of the best ways I've found to meet new people is to have a lot of people over whenever there some sort of game on. From the Cubs to the Bears there are so many great Chicago sports teams that it seems like there's always something going on that I can use to anchor apartment. I even have a great big grill outside so I turned again days into BBQ days as well which it seems like my friends are really enjoying. Thankfully my house is big enough that everyone can bring their own friends and that is what has really helped expand my social circle. When he moved to new city it's important you find ways to connect with others in your community and I guess this is the best way I can think of to do that. Plus I get to watch sports!

NY Giants Superbowl 2012

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:08:00 +0000

Last Sunday was a big sports event. And We watched the two different Championship matches. From Patriots, vs Ravens and Giants Vs 49ers.

I rooted for 49ers to advance to Superbowl 2012 against the NY Giants but sad to say they got beat. I liked the 49ers not for any reasons I simply like them because of the story behind their QB Alex Smith. How I wish they win but well...At least he has proven his worth though... But, it would be so great if they advance to Superbowl. It's been so long since the 49ers play in the playoff according to their record.

It was a great Sunday afternoon, and evening. After the game, I was able to watch my most fave tv show, AM Idol!!!

Bunn

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:01:00 +0000

I miss my grandmother so much. She means everything not just to me, but most to my brother. I miss her hugs and her kisses.I miss all the foods that she used to cook for us. She just loved us so much that even though she was in pain she didn't care as long as she can fed us. She took good care of all of us, like no any grandmother in this world that I have ever known. If only she is still alive I would buy her a bunn because she loved to drink coffee like no any other grandmother in this world I guess. She prefer to drink coffee rather than eat. It was amazing!

Pool heat pumps

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:50:00 +0000

A good and kind neighbor friend of mine owns a good size swimming pool, where I spent most of my summer time swimming and at the same time I get to enjoy the heat of the sun burning my skin. I just love it though...Anyway, She has this good size swimming pool and she is thinking of buying pool heat pumps because she wanted to be able to still enjoy swimming even during spring, fall and winter season. She despise the fact that they can only enjoy their swimming pool only in summer time and they all love to swim. Buying a pool heat pumps is what she is now thinking.

Goodbye Joe Paterno

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:41:00 +0000

Why condemned a person who didn't do the abused??? My friends and I were talking about this issue since it broke. I defended Joe Paterno which irritated my friend, she thought it was Joe's fault when Sandusky abused those young boys. But, my argument was, well, it wasn't Joe Paterno that abused those kids??? It's like when you are a parent and your kid is a rapist, can you condemned the rapist parents just because they are the parents??? Why condemned Joe Paterno?? I maybe pointless but, I still think Joe Paterno has nothing to do with Sandusky, maybe he should report to the police but maybe he thought it was none of his business, at all. anyway...

Now, he is gone for good...

R.I.P Joe Paterno...

Season 11 American Idol

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:25:00 +0000

American Idol is now in its now season 11 and still rocking!

Like I have said this is my favorite show, because I simply love watching those AM IDOL hopefuls and with their great voices. However, whenever there are contestants that have sad stories, they never fail to make me sad and worst made me cry as well. My eyes and heart cried with them.

Just like last Thursday night, one contestant, named Travis, and he was there last season 10 but never get through, he was knocked out on the Hollywood night, but he is pursuing his dream. And it just broke my heart how his mom left them... But, what touched my heart was his huge passion to keep pursuing his dream no matter what. He never stop and I do hope that somehow, some recording companies out there would give him a break!

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:20:00 +0000

Just sharing some important facts about Warren Buffett and we may be able to learn something, and we may be able to apply his secrets...

EVEN THE SECOND RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD IS SIMPLE (WARREN BUFFETT)
HE DONATED $31 BILLIONS TO CHARITY.
FOLLOWING ARE SOME VERY IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF HIS LIFE:
1.HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST SHARE AT AGE 11 AND HE NOW REGRETS THAT HE STARTED TOO LATE.
(THINGS WERE VERY CHEAP AT THAT TIME, ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILDREN TO INVEST)
2.HE BOUGHT A SMALL FARM AT AGE 14 WITH SAVINGS FROM DELIVERING NEWSPAPERS.
(One could have bought many things with little savings)
(Encourage your children to start some kind of business)
3.HE STILL LIVES IN THE SAME SMALL 3-BEDROOM HOUSE IN MID- TOWN OMAHA, THAT HE BOUGHT AFTER HE GOT MARRIED AFTER 50 YEARS AGO. HE SAID HE HAS EVERYTHING HE NEEDS IN THAT HOUSE. HIS HOUSE DOES NOT HAVE A WALL OR FENCE.
(Don’t buy more than what you “really need”)
(Encourage your children to do and think the same)

4.HE DRIVES HIS OWN CAR EVERYWHERE AND DOES NOT HAVE A DRIVER OR SECURITY PEOPLE AROUND HIM.
(You are what you are)
5.HE NEVER TRAVELS BY PRIVATE JET, ALTHOUGH HE OWNS THE WOLD’S LARGEST JET PRIVATE COMPANY.
(Always think how you can accomplish things economically)

6.HIS COMPANY, BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY, OWNS 63 COMPANIES. HE WRITES ONLY ONE LETTER EACH YEAR TO THE CEOS OF THESE COMPANIES, GIVING THEM GOALS FOR THE YEAR. HE NEVER HOLDS MEETINGS OR CALLS THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.
(Assign the right people to the right jobs)
7.HE HAS GIVEN HIS CEOS TWO RULES.
RULE NO.1 DO NOT LOSE ANY OF YOUR SHARE
RULE NO.2 DO NOT FORGET RULE NO.1
8.HE DOES NOT SOCIALIZE WITH HIGH SOCIETY CROWD. HIS PAST TIME AFTER HE GETS HOME IS TO MAKE HIMSELF SOME POPCORN AND WATCH TELEVISION.
(Don’t try to show off, just be yourself and do what you enjoy doing.)
9.WARREN BUFFET DOES NOT CARRY A CELLPHONE, NOR HAS A COMPUTER ON HIS DESK.
10.BILL GATES THE WORLD RICHEST MAN MET HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER FIVE YEARS AGO. BILL GATES DID NOT THINK HE HAD ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH WARREN BUFFET. SO HE HAD SCHEDULED HIS MEETING ONLY HALF AN HOUR. BUT WHEN GATES MET HIM, THE MEETING LASTED FOR TEN HOURS AND BILL GATES BECOME A DEVOTEE OF WARREN BUFFET.

HIS ADVICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE:

1.STAY AWAY FROM CREDIT CARDS (BANK LOANS) AND INVEST IN YOURSELF AND REMEMBER:
A.MONEY DOESN’T CREATE MAN BUT IT IS A MAN WHO CREATED MONEY.
B.LIVE YOUR LIFE AS SIMPLE AS YOU ARE.
C.DON’T DO WHAT OTHERS SAY, JUST LISTEN THEM, BUT DO WHAT YOU FEEL GOOD.
D.DON’T GO ON BRAND NAME; JUST WEAR THOSE THINGS IN WHICH YOU ARE COMFORTABLE.
E.DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON UNNECESSARY THINGS; JUST SPEND ON THEM WHO REALLY IN NEED RATHER.

Apple® - MacBook® Pro / Intel® Core™ i7 Processor / 13.3" Display / 4GB Memory / 750GB Hard Drive

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:42:00 +0000

A friend of mine just purchased an apple mac two nights ago. She'd been dreaming of owning a MAC laptop for so long and finally she got one now. She could have easily buy one then, but of course she prioritized her family back home. Building them houses, and sending them $$$ to start a business. but then, she couldn't resist anymore and she needed to buy and materialize her long time dream.

She bought an Apple® - MacBook® Pro / Intel® Core™ i7 Processor / 13.3" Display / 4GB Memory / 750GB Hard Drive, and it cost her almost 1500+... Whew! And, she is been trying to convince me to buy one, too. Oh! How I wish I could. But, right now, I got no plan of buying a laptop yet, because I think, mine is still working good and I got no issues or whatsoever with it, anyway. Plus 1500+ is a lot of money. Isn't it??? But she said it is really worth it!

Roadside assistance

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:10:00 +0000

For those people who actually own an RV, I am pretty sure they are aware the importance of having a roadside assistance where they would be able to call in times of emergency. Accidents happens in an unexpected time and place. Having a roadside assistance would give you peace of mind. An assurance that everything would be just fine. And, it is essential for an RV owners to have a roadside assistance where assistance is just in the tip of your finger. A one call away makes you worry free, guaranteed!

Electric guitars

Just two days ago she showed me her electric guitars which her friend gave it to her as a Christmas presents.It is her ultimate goal to be able to play guitar, and in just a matter of two days, she is now able to play some songs while strumming with her guitar, and she even play a birthday song on my birthday via voice calling through yahoo messenger. It was so sweet...

sheepskin rugs

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:35:00 +0000

Have you seen an actual sheepskin rugs? I have not, honestly. However, I was wondering how it would feel to have sheepskin rugs in my house??? Oh! My!!! That would be so cool. Then I search for sheepskin products online and to see how the sheepskin looks like. Sheepskin rugs look so comfortable and very fashionable as well. When I saw it, I was like, Wow!!! Sheepskin rugs are extremely beautiful.

Moreover, one day, the mother of my friend picked us up and treated us for fine dining one night. And we used her car, then one thing I noticed were the cover of her car sets. I just felt so comfortable. Amazingly comfortable, so I couldn't help but asked. Then she told me that I was actually sitting in luxury car seat covers. I was like, really??? Oh! My...Thank goodness...Then before we went home, she decided to show me her unique designer sheepskin rug features floral detailing and quilted suede backing that she uses in front of her beautiful fireplace. What a fabulous accent for her living room, bedroom, and hearth. Sheepskin rug adds luxurious warmth and comfort. Indeed.

Wetsuits

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:29:00 +0000

When my friends and I went to Palawan, one of the majestic place on earth, we were amazed how beautiful the place was. It was on of my best vacation place. It isn't just beautiful, it also offers different kinds of adventures. There are a lots of things to do, such as: Scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking and a whole lot more.

I don't have any idea on how to scuba dive or even snorkeling, and just for experience sake, my friends and I decided to scuba dive. There were private trainers who educated us first on what to do, and everything that we ought to know before we will explore the beautiful Palawan sea. And, most of all our trainers informed us also about what we need to wear which they also provide and it's included in the package. That was my very first time to wear a wetsuits and I just love it. It hugged so tightly in my body, but it was very comfortable, too. At first attempt it was kinda rough but after that, I found scuba diving a beautiful hobby. However, vacation galore had to end and we needed to go back to reality. But Scuba diving was the best experience I had had.And wearing a wetsuit made me feel so sexy.

Happy Friday the 13th

noreply@blogger.com (janphil) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:45:00 +0000

Today is the Friday the 13th and there are people who believe in bad luck or something in this very day. And, there are people who fear the number 13 specifically for some reasons. As according to a superstition that number 13 is unlucky number and Friday is unlucky day. What a coincidence???

And for the believers Number 13 is a disaster. Are you a believer??? Am I a believer? The fear of Friday the 13th can date back before the 19th century. And, the biography of Gioachino Rossini, in 1869 was the earliest documented reference in English.

Today, the fear of Friday the 13th still exists especially to those who fear that the number 13 is indeed an unlucky number so as Friday as the unlucky day.

Last night the snow started falling and it according to weather forecast we are going to have a snow storm. Today the snow is still falling continuously to the ground and it seems to be there are 2 to 3 inches thick of snow now.

We never get snow last year and before today our weather here is pretty much great for a winter season. We were all wondering if we were going to get snow this year, because the weather even reached 63 degree F in January. I actually miss the white snow laying on the ground. And, I guess this is it!!!
