Are You More Cat or Dog?

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:58:00 +0000

You Are: 70% Dog, 30% Cat

You and dogs definitely have a lot in common.
You're both goofy, happy, and content with the small things in life.
However, you're definitely not as needy as the average dog. You need your down time occasionally.

Are You More Cat or Dog?

~ Well, what do you expect? I'm born under the sign of the DOG so it's just right for me to lean on the "doggy" ways. LOL! I can be loyal and friendly but beware because once provoked, I bite! Now, that's just a warning. I am not meaning to scare you or what. *winks* Oki doks, enough blabber. I need to go and check on this dog supplies store. We're running out of stock. Arf!

Citzenship For Sale?

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 08:37:00 +0000

What if the United States began charging for the legal right to immigrate? Nobel Laureate Gary Becker (University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business) came up with the idea. Becker's not trying to eject illegal workers; in fact, he said, they could pay to stay. The idea is to upend the existing black market that exacts a high price for illegal immigrants -- some who pay with their lives.

Offshore Drilling - You want it?

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 19:36:00 +0000

As gas prices continue to increase, Congress continues to blame others while ignoring practical steps to stop the pain Americans are feeling at the pump. To lower gasoline prices and reduce our dependence on foreign oil, we need real solutions to our energy challenges.

Meet the Husband

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:17:00 +0000

Sorry for the blurry photo. I forgot to turn on the flash. ;)
Well, anyway, this is my beloved husband. He's a registered nurse here in the US and works in one of the assisted living facilities here in SLC, Utah. He's been a nurse for 14 years now but the first I met him, I wasn't even aware that he was working in a medical field. All along I thought he was computer engineer because he was so good in that department and almost every common friend we have would come to him to have their broken computers fixed. So I guess this clears everything. I didn't take advantage of his nursing license to get here in the US. Hahaha! It was just part of the package the moment I accepted his wedding proposal. LOL!

Going back to the husband... although he looks like a very serious man but I tell you he can crack jokes that can send you laughing on the floor. Hehe. I wish I can divulge more infomation about the "other side" of my better half but that would definitely get me into trouble so I better stop now and cook something for lunch because any minute from now, he'll be here. Yup, we always eat lunch together! ;) See yah laters!

I CAN’T SLEEP IN A ROOM IF THE CLOSET DOOR IS OPEN: Yes. I have DOOR issues. ;)
I BELIEVE IN TRUE LOVE: Yes, I do that's why I got married at a young age. Haha!
I’VE RUN AWAY FROM HOME: Many times. I wouldn't be called the black sheep of the family for nothing, right? Hahaha!

Want Some Tan?

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:53:00 +0000

Summer is definitely here and I just love the warm weather outside. It makes me feel like I'm back to my beloved homeland where it's sunny whole year round. And this is also the perfect time to get that sun-kissed look you’re after. You can either do it naturally or get a tan without the sun by using tanning beds. But I highly recommend the latter because it's safer and lowers your risk of getting sun burns, sun poisoning or worse skin cancer. But keep in mind to lather just the right amount of tanning bed lotions for a more natural and bronze looking tan. ;)

Anyway, if you want to save BIG on sun tanning products let me direct you to www.suntanning.com. You can save as much as 80% off you online purchase plus you can use their advanced search engine to find the nearest tanning salon in your area. Go check it out!

When Was The Last Time You...

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:30:00 +0000

kissed someone: hubby gave me a smack on the lips before he left for work but i was half awake at that time. hehe.
felt depressed: not really depressed, just sad.
felt elated: last night because our filipino apartment-mates promised to take us to crazy buffet so we can feast on crab legs and other seafoods!
felt overworked: the day before we left davao city.
faked sick: a few days ago. naglalambing kay hubby eh. hehe.

~ how about you? when was the last time you did all these things? feel free to snag this if you likey. ;) i've got more random questions ready for you but i'll just post it after i'm done reading this EcoQuest air purifier system. this is exactly what we need here in our apartment. brb.

Outbidded

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 03:52:00 +0000

I don't know what got into me last night but I just started bidding on eBay. I must be bored because the husband slept early. Haha! Anyway, this beauty here is the very first item that I bid on. It's a ROYAL BLUE SAPPHIRE HEART CUT PENDANT NECKLACE. I like it because it's my birthstone and it has this tiny flower on top of it. Looks like a handcrafted jewelry. Unfortunately, I got outbidded. LOL! I thought it was over until I got this email from the seller:

We are happy to offer you this second chance offer with your last placed bidding value. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any enquiry regarding this second chance offer.

Hmmnn... should I give it another try? It's worth $7. What do you think?

Siopao for Dinner!

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 04:57:00 +0000

photo by vinia
Yummy! This is a real treat! We're super lucky because hubby's colleague at work invited us over at their place and they served Goldilocks siopao (with pork asado filling), watermelon and apple juice for merienda. We have our tummies full so we decided to skip dinner. Aside from that, they also offered to take us to the Filipino Store so we can fill our fridge and pantry with Filipino food. Oh I can't wait! ;)

Anyway, this is off topic but to those who are seeking for the best acne treatment, you might want to check out Acnexus.com. Their product looks promising. This might answer all your acne problems. ;)

So Cold!

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:25:00 +0000

Geezzz! It is supposed to be summer here but why is it so freaking cold? I am still in my PJs and I'm wearing a light coat. And yeah, you guessed it right - I haven't taken a bath yet! Yuck! Haha! And what's worst is that we no longer have a heater here in our apartment because it's summer time. The only thing working right now is our air conditioner and if I turn it on, it's like suicide! Good luck to me. Haha! Oh well, hopefully tomorrow the weather will be warmer and nicer. Hubby and I plans to go out and buy something at the electronics shop to upgrade our laptop memory. Mr. Sunshine, if you're reading this... please consider showing up tomorrow. I need to go out! ;)

Gas Station Convenience

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:20:00 +0000

Do we get our gas at a place where we can get a lot more done? We're on the move and but when we staop we like to make the most of it ... or it may be better to find a speacialist store rather than opt for convenience.
