What Kind Of Sunglasses Are You

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 22:13:00 +0000

Here's one of those online quizzes that I took to pass away time - as if I have lots of that! Lol. But on very hectic days, I like to stop and do something that wouldn't require much analysis. :-)

Your Sunglasses Say You're a Fashionista

You are classy, refined, and well mannered.

Your sense of fashion is based on what looks good on you and what is timeless.

You need to be shaded from rude people and the trials of everyday life.

You feel sunniest when you can retreat to your home or favorite cafe

Packing Tips

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 23:07:00 +0000

Preparing for an imminent trip (I hope to get my butt to at least country this year!), I was checking some packing tips online. I always like to travel light and I have my way of packing my things but what tips I've read today are so helpful for someone not too organized like me. From this post from independenttraveler.com, I am just amazed that there are more than one method to pack the clothes.

Usually, I fold clothes together but I will have to try rolling my clothes next time. Or doing the Bundle Approach - which is space-saving.

Here's also a post I found that gives great practical tips about packing things. One tip I picked from there is to:

8. Split up clothes when travelling with others
When you are flying somewhere and especially if you have a few stopovers, divide the clothes between different suitcases/backpacks/bags etc. If one persons luggage doesn't arrive at the destination, they'll still have clean clothes available. Airlines generally don't compensate lost luggage for the first 24-48 hours so this will save you money if it happens to you.

I actually don't expect losing baggages when traveling and I always keep all my clothes together but what if I lost the baggage holding all my clothes? This tip is so practical, I'm just gonna do this next time I'm travelling.

Lastly, I found thorough packing tips for movers here. If you're moving now or later, cross-country or not, you've gotta read it as I'm sure you'll pick a thing or two or lots of practical ideas from there. BTW, for cross country movers, you can get a free moving quote now. Just click the preceding link or call (888) 680-7200 for your free quote.

So happy packing everyone and have a stress-free trip!

Gmail: Coming Out of Beta, Getting Back to Beta

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:24:00 +0000

The post in the Gmailblog about them leaving in "Beta stage" and launching a "Back to Beta" feature made me chuckle today. I was actually one of the many (I believe) who are guilty of thinking that Gmail should have come out of beta by now! And boy, they did come out of beta!

What a happy thing! What more (for those peeps out there who have gotten so used to the Beta thing), I'm sure you'll be happy too that with this recent development, they've placed a "Back to beta" feature. So that makes everyone happy, ayt? *smile*

Re-using Nursing Bottle Brushes

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:48:00 +0000

It's been a long while since I last updated this blog. You bet I'm as busy as that bee up in your mango tree! So crazy busy was I that I haven't even had more than 4 hours of sleep for what seems like ages. *sigh* Buhayyyy. But I'm looking forward to getting a straight 8-hour sleep over the weekends.

Anyway, I was washing shoes one day (wow my life is so unglamorous! *laughs*) when it came to my mind that "hey, I could post what I'm doing now." Really. But okay, come now, I'm not really going to post about my washing the shoes. Instead I'm going to write about something I realized while washing the shoes. But before that, if you need some housewares, drop by this store that offers wholesale housewares. From home appliances to decors, kitchenware to bed & bath accessories, they have them all for you.

Okay, proceed to the realization. I feel funny using such a serious word but anyway, I realized that it's far better to use nursing bottle brushes to wash the insides of the shoes. Far far better and easier really- especially when you get those with rotating heads. I have quite a collection of these brushes (from the 2 years when my son was using nursing bottles). I was going to wash footwear one day and I couldn't find a used toothbrush so I decided to use one of the used nursing bottle brushes instead. And I'm glad I did because I found out that it can clean the insides of a shoe, especially the hard-to-reach areas, much better that toothbrushes.

So there's my tip and trick of the day. For a much cleaner insides of a shoe, the trick is to use nursing bottle brushes! Apart from using them to wash shoes, I also have one (oh well, not the same one I use for the shoes!) to clean condiment or wine bottles. So if you've got old nursing bottle brushes, you can try to re-use them.

Determine if there is a problem.
Talk to them about the issue.

Offline Update

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:07:00 +0000

Looks like I have colds today. I have sore throat, too. I pray that this is not flu. *crossing fingers* I really hope not.

I am feeling better today than yesterday though, emotionally and physically. *smiles* I think I had the worst PMS yesterday - so much so that I am guilty of feeling and acting like a rebellious teenager -yikes! I'll not go into details with that though.

Anyway, I'm in the process of making a nook for my son at home so I'm checking house interior setup/improvement sites online. It's really not a big project like a room so I won't need much industrial products but I'd still need few latches, hinges, bolts and nuts for this tiny space. It's actually my son's study corner ( and also a place to keep some of his things, in my attempt to get us all organized).

So that's it for now - no tips but just an update. And I'm off again to see some home improvement sites and a hot fix for this sore throat, too. Have a lovely day everyone.

Diet Suggestions to Cut Calories

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 23:07:00 +0000

Are you faithfully monitoring your calorie intake? Or do you want healthy diet suggestions?

I just want to share this great page I recently found at Prevention.com. It's about some diet suggestions that will help us all minimize our calorie intake.

For instance here are a couple of options I'm quoting from the page:

Breakfast: Savor a bowl of bananas, berries, low fat milk and sugar substitute
instead of a sweet roll.

Lunch/Dinner: Pick waterpacked tuna instead of tuna packed in oil.

BTW, prevention.com also tackles interesting topics about health and beauty. It offers practical tips and tricks that I find valuable and I'm actually hooked since I found it.

5 Footwears I Love to Wear

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:37:00 +0000

If you know me personally, I'm sure you can already imagine the pairs of shoes that I love to wear. And can even guess what shoes I'd buy next - yes I'm that predictable (and boooring *hehe*)!

But then online, few people know me and so here's something I wanna share. It's about the footwears that I love to wear, apart from the Merrel and North Face shoes that I've mentioned more than a dozen time here. So without much ado, here they are:

1) Flipflops - I eternally love to wear flipflops. They are God's gift to my little feet and I wear them anywhere (even to the office!). It doesn't matter if it's an Ipanema or Havaianas or a local brand as long as it keeps my feet happy.

2) Women's Ballet Flats - I have 4 favorite pairs (of different colors and style) at the moment. I got a red, black, silver and copper-colored ballet shoes. All of the ballet flats I own are bought locally but I've seen some pairs from popular online stores like Jildor that looks similar to what I have.

My black ballet shoes very much looks like this Tory Burch Reva. The only difference is the buckle design.

3. Sneakers - I totally adore sneakers. Converse is an all-time favorite brand, one I haven't gotten over with since my college days. I also love those from Keds like this one below.

This one used to be my favorite Keds sneaks.

4. Espadrilles - They are unbelievably cool and comfortable to wear. And I can wear them with almost all the casual clothes I have! Right now, I'm trying to find a way on how I can purchase one of those cool Toms shoes (okay I'm lying, it's not just one but maybe 3!).

And lastly...

5. Sizzling Hot Sandals. Like.these.pairs.by. Stuart Weitzman :

My Take on HDTV

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:07:00 +0000

I heard speculations that Direct TV Business is not too profitable in my country - but I wonder if that's really true. I wonder what DreamSatellite, which primarily offers Commercial Direct TV services in the country, will say to that. And if that were true, I wonder why then would the company I worked for would venture in a multi-million project such as the DirectTV Business.

In fact, the company is adding more HDTV and standard definition channels as response to subscriber demand and take-up. I think subscribers appreciates the superb services they get from their subscription. Subscribers are now aware of the quality of shows direct-to-home TV service will provide. And it's even cheaper (at least with the company's brand) than Cable TV and at the moment, I've heard that the company is targetting "uncabled" areas in Luzon - so there is a ready market for the service. True, there's still a lot more work and investment to be made for the service to cover more areas where Cable TV Services is not existent but I'm sure with time, it will become a realization - not just in Luzon but nationwide (I hope!).

I am actually excited to avail of this service but I guess I have to wait. *grins* For now, I'll just be content with a low-end Sat TV setup that the hubster has recently paid for. Some of my officemates have similar satellite dishes installed in their homes so they can get more channels and watch more shows on TV, too. (BTW, the equipment are not coming from Dream Satellite nor with the company I worked for). But this gives away the mindset of TV subscribers these days and maybe this is an indication that Direct TV Business is a thriving business afterall.

How Fit Are Your Feet?

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:07:00 +0000

I had fun answering this test at Prevention.com and in the process I have also learned something.

So how fit are my feet?

My result says: Pay attention. Your feet and ankles are showing signs of wear. Continue your normal activities, but seriously consider seeing a podiatrist for a checkup.

One Worry-Free Day Please...

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:07:00 +0000

Don't you just wish for a day of indolence? (Okay the term indolence is not too postive to read so maybe I daresay laziness *lol*).

But really don't you just wish for a care-free day --when you can only be busy doing nothing? I do, I do - and today is just one of those days when I wish for that. After a stressful day in the office, or make that a stressful night, I badly need some relaxation and some time to just bum around doing nothing. Hayy, I already dream of warming my bum on something so luxurious as this outdoor furniture:

Looks so heavenly! As a matter of fact, I could already see myself sleeping all day on that!

*sigh*sigh* I could dream on you know. But I really hope I could have some free time during my days off.

Healthy YOU

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 23:07:00 +0000

I recently received this tip about losing weight through SMS and it says:

You did not gain all this weight overnight, so you can't expect to lose it fast either. Weight loss takes commitment, patience and determination.

I might just add that, it also takes a lot of discipline to achieve a healthy body (and sound mind).

That said, I'll just have to re-iterate too that it's never too late to start taking care of our body or taking actions for a fit and healthy US. It's never too late to start exercising. Nor is it too late to start eating healthy foods.

After making the giant leap of deciding to be healthy - whatever the means must be, work on that and stay committed on the decision. You might not get immediate result, but with patience and perseverance, I'm sure a favorable result is not just a dream. *smiles*

Oh by the way, do NOT forget to consult your physician before starting any exercise routine (or diet) and understand that diet and nutrition play a big factor in the overall result.

Your Buying Guide

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:07:00 +0000

For busy people who wish to do their exercise routine but could barely drop by the gym and get on their programs, I'd surely understand if you wish to bring the gym to the home by buying a treadmill or similar machines like those ellipticals. (I do feel that most of the times especially when I'm waist-deep with paperworks.) Great innovations for fitness buffs who lead busy lives, don't you think? With modern technology which has made things easier and more convenient for everyone, I'm sure you feel thankful that treadmills and other equipment that you can easily install and use at home (and help you become fit and healthy) are made available for us all.

So are you planning to get one of those or better yet, have you already decided to purchase one for home use? Before buying one, here's a Treadmill Buying Guide that may be useful to you. It offers practical tips and advices and information on the things you should know before buying one.

Here's a couple of things that I picked up from there:
DON'T make your decision based on just one person's opinion.
DO look at many sources available online

It also walks you through the basic treadmill components and gives insight on additional features that you may be interested to get for your equipment.

Lastly, the article gives tips and tricks on maintaining your treadmill. Check it out and have fun working out!

Because We Care

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:07:00 +0000

Growing up in a culture where the young family members take care of the old kins, and then in a close-knit family like ours, it is but normal for me to feel responsible for my parents welfare. Like any caring and responsible daughter/son, I take it on myself to take care of my 60-plus year old parents - though thanks God they are still "able" physically and mentally. I'd always like for them to live with us -or us with them. But what I'm concerned even at this time is the fact that there will always be a time when I will not always be with them. There's also my own family to take care of, and I have a regular job to attend to everyday. So what happens when the time comes when they would need extra looking-after because of old age and I (or my other siblings) cannot always be with them? What if emergency situation arises? What if something happens while we are not with them? What if they fall or get lost or... *shivers* The what-ifs are actually endless!

But recently, I found out about wonderful personal emergency response systems (PERS) that can truly help us protect our aged parents or grandparents (and can alleviate our concern with old family members as well). It's called the Brickhouse Alert System, a high-tech and sophisticated Medical Alert Systems consisting of the BrickHouse AlertTele-Assist (a home console plus a personal pendant), and BrickHouse Alert Mobile GPS (a GPSmobile watch).

So how does it work? The home console, which is connected to a phone jack and electrical outlet - much like an answering machine, and the personal pendant can help you get connected to trained professionals who will be able to dispatch help. The alert may be done by pressing the Panic Button. When the button is pressed, you may be able to speak with an operator who will assess the situation and either send emergency services, call your emergency contacts or talk you through the situation. If you are unable speak, the op will immediately call emergency help and dispatch rescue to your house. So it's not only a Medical Alarm system but also works like security and protection system as well.

Now, here's an interesting thing. Because the provider offers 24-hour fall monitoring, once a fall is detected, even if you are not able to push the emergency panic button, rest assured that this will automatically be noted and that help is already on the way. Apart from its fall detection feature, the system has other features such as medication reminders, wake up calls, inactivity alerts, and motion sensors. Find out more of the system here.

BTW, all the personal accessories are waterproof and the system has a back-up battery that will last 24 hours after a power outage. It's really an awesome system! And I'm glad that with modern technology, all of us who care for the safety and protection of our aged loved ones will at least have the peace of mind to leave them on their own -for a while or even for a day or two.

Swine Flu Update

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:37:00 +0000

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

So the pandemic alert level of the swine flu or the Influenza A(H1N1) virus is already raised by the WHO to Level 6!

However, this does not indicate the severity of illness caused by the virus. This only reflects the ongoing community level outbreaks worldwide. Read here the latest statistics from WHO.

So my tip for the day is to load up on Vitamin C now and observe proper hygiene always. Stay healthy everyone.

Have a wonderful day!

Another Vacation Idea

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:57:00 +0000

Remember about the post I wrote a week ago about wanting to have a vacation? Remember the places the mentioned? I'd like to quote myself and here are some of the places I'd love to visit , given the time and money (of course!):

Maybe Vietnam or Thailand would be lovely for me and my family. Or Singapore. Not to mention getting on with my dream trip to Hawaii. Or a take a fun trip to Disneyland (again!). Or explore Greece. Or chill out in Panama. *closing my eyes* Or see Paris.

Now today, I've read about a wonderful place that I wouldn't mind visiting (sponsor anyone?). Really. The place is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I've read of interesting attractions there that's very ideal for a family vacation. Some of these attractions are the the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, Ripley's Aquarium, the Family Kingdom Amusement Park & Water Park and so much more. For night owls and party animals, there are also numerous bars to visit there. And for sportsminded people, maybe you'll be interested with the Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations. And take note that there are many golf courses to choose from. In fact, there are quite a number of awesome Myrtle Beach Golf Packages offered that will surely satisfy anyone. (So for non-golfers like me, maybe it's time to learn a new sport then?) But for golf aficionado out there, if you want to have a vacation and play Golf Myrtle Beach is the name.

Reminders

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 09:27:00 +0000

After writing this post and this, I feel the need to re-iterate few things.

First, this site and its authors are not responsible for any action or activity taken by its readers. Thus will not be held liable for any consequence of the readers' actions/activities.

Second, it is the readers responsibility to exercise due prudence in all their affairs.

Okay, done with a couple of prime concerns, I'm going to proceed to the next and last reminder. If you wish to use pills/supplements to expedite the process of losing weight and learn which -among the best diet pills available in the market- is suitable for you, it is ALWAYS best to seek the advice of your physician or health practitioner. Never ever substitute their advices with online reviews.

Nonetheless, online reviews are good sources of information as well as opinions. They may be able to educate you and give you insight on consumers' experiences with the products (and services). As always, they help us decide whether to give a product a try or not.

Day in the Cloud Feeler Questions

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:07:00 +0000

I've hopped on the Gmailblog this morning and found out that, together with Virgin America, Gmail will be hosting an online contest of sorts called Day in the Cloud Challenge on June 24. All flights of Virgin America on that day will have complimentary WiFi connection. So anyone and everyone interested -whether you're up in the air or on the ground- may participate. Just sign up at http://dayinthecloud.com.

You know I'm such a sucker for fun quizzes. But however much I wanted to join this fun event, I won't be able to (it's geographically impossible for me to do that). But good thing Gmail provided practise questions and I got to experience what's it's like (oh well I just have to content myself with the practise questions!). And boy was I stumped! Imagine being asked this: What do the NASA Advanced Crew Escape Suits, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Tokyo Tower have in common?

Know the answer?

Now shame, shame on me -I couldn't even get decent guesses to majority the questions! But at least I have a teeny weeny idea what the challenge will be like.

So anyone wanna try it out. Just go here for some details and relevant links.

Ephedrine Info

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:57:00 +0000

I was reading about Ephedrine today and boy did I learn a lot!

To be honest, I have no experience with Ephedrine or ephedrine-related drug, synthetic or in pure ephedrine form. In fact in my circle of friends, this term has a negative connotation to it. But today, I learned that some Chinese medicines are made of this! In fact, extract of the Ephedra Sinica plant has been used to treat asthma.

Not only that, in other countries such as the USA,

Ephedra and ephedrine are sold in health food stores under a variety of brand names. Ephedrine is widely used for weight loss, as an energy booster, and to enhance athletic performance. These products often contain other stimulants, such as caffeine, which may have synergistic effects and increase the potential for adverse effects. Ephedra is often touted as the "herbal fen-phen." Source

But with reports of adverse effect associated with the use of products containing ephedrine alkaloid, "the FDA proposed to prohibit the marketing of dietary supplements containing 8 milligrams or more of ephedrine alkaloids per serving."

Oh boy. So IMHO, it is always best to consult and seek the advise of your physician or healthcare practitioner for proper administration and guidance BEFORE taking health supplements. Or when taking prescribed drugs, it's always best to follow your physician's instruction to the letter.

Getting the Best on Fashion Mags

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:07:00 +0000

Who loves browsing through style and fashion magazines? Raise your hand please.

Come now, don't be shy. Truth is, I too heart reading and browsing through them. To me, they are actually great guides to current trends and classic styles. But that's that.

Copying few of these styles is fine too but it would be an entirely different story if you pick EVERYTHING that you see in these mags. Sometimes, it would just be too impractical (not to mention the obvious that it would be expensive too - but if you've got tons of money to burn, then fine go ahead. Who am I to say don't? Lol).

But if you wish to stay practical - it's enough to pick what looks and feels best (or better) on you. Experiment but also be honest to yourself. Solicit your friends' advice if you must. And then maybe in the process of you can also develop your own style.

Vacay Wow Woe

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 11:07:00 +0000

I'm so in the mood for a vacation. In fact, I ABSOLUTELY need one right NOW! And any place would do - as long as I don't see my office desk! Lol.

But really, I would love to take a mini-vacation someplace. Maybe Vietnam or Thailand would be lovely for me and my family. Or Singapore. Not to mention getting on with my dream trip to Hawaii. Or a take a fun trip to Disneyland (again!). Or explore Greece. Or chillout in Panama. *closing my eyes* Or see Paris. How wonderful would that be! *sigh* But I would need a lot of cash for all these and there's not much of that in my bag now. But I could dream on, okay? Lol

Not much cash but what I have lots of in my bag though is my imagination and a bottle of a hand sanitizer. Haaaay. The swine flu scare is surely killing all the fun!

My colleague and her family are planning to visit Hongkong a month from now but decided against it because of the possible virus exposure when traveling. They've decided to visit a local vacation island instead.

We are also supposed to have a mini-vacation this week but we decided to postpone it indefinitely as this trip would require air transpo (and we definitely don't want to get possible virus exposure in the airport). *Paranoid Mama mode is turned on!* But instead of taking that trip, we're planning to hit some place this weekend to chill out -most likely the beach.

Sigh. Sigh. I just hope we see a decline of A(H1N1) cases in the coming months, so we can get on with our travel plans. There are just too many places I wanted to visit (given the time and $$$)-and my dream vacation wish list is getting long by the day!

How about you any botched travel plans b/c of the swine flu scare? Or could you share your dream vacation wish list? How about your most memorable vacation, when, where and with whom?

BTW, for families who plan to experience the fun theme parks in Orlando, see some of the tour packages for the funtabulous Orlando vacations in the preceding link.

What Kind Of Girlfriend Are You?

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:14:00 +0000

It's Monday and I actually wanted to do away from all serious stuff (because as it is, Monday sounds so serious already!).

So.... I'm sharing the result of a fun quiz I took. Did I hear somebody groan 'not again'?Lol. I'm sorry but this will be all for now.

When it comes to your guy, you're very thoughtful

But you also haven't stopped thinking of yourself

Oh btw, I didn't cheat here. Hehehe. But really, I'm sure the hubster would echo the same thing. *chuckles*

My Word of the Day

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 23:07:00 +0000

Today, I've learned a new term: RV. I actually didn't know the term rv prior to reading it online. And so I googled it and here's what I got:

According to AudioEnglish.net, an RV is a "motorized wheeled vehicle used for camping or other recreational activities". RV is short for recreational vehicle.

So those trailers used for camping are also called RVs. *hmmm* Some are even used for vacations so I've read. How cool is that! It sure sounds like fun and I would love to try one if there's a chance of that in the future.

Anyway, if you're out wanting to own one (like me!) and are already making considerations to make the big ticket purchase (I only wish! *smile*), here's a post I found that will help you make the choice between a gas-operated or diesel-operated RVs. Read it here. Also here's something to learn about the

Washing Your SKin May Save The Day

noreply@blogger.com (Tips_tricks) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 21:07:00 +0000

The other day, I was talking with my office mate about having breakouts of late ( I'm currently treating my zits with a trusted product and a lot of vitamins) and she too complained of the same thing -but not only with her face but her back and shoulders as well.

And from her derma to me, she shared this bit. It's very basic really but sometimes in our hurry we end up forgetting to actually do this. So the next time that you hit the bath, don't forget to:

Wash your skin thoroughly after shampooing and conditioning. Hair products usually leave residue of oil on your back and shoulders causing zit or acne breakouts, and consequently lead to unsightly blemishes and scars.
