It's been quite an exhausting day for me. I did the payroll, quite a little errands here and there, some chores and quite a few opps which almost left me mentally drained. Nah, just kidding. But i'm really quite exhausted. More often than not, i'm always like this on a Saturday because of the payroll. It's always tiring to count money that isn't mine. How i wish they're mine so i can go shopping 'til i drop. LOL.

Anyways, i'm off to bed in a little while so i think it's time for me to wish everyone good night and don't let the bed bugs bite! (",)

As i was blog hopping lately, there's one common thing that has been the topic of many bloggers that i've noticed - happiness. How do you define happiness? For me, happiness is a choice. If you choose to be happy, then you will be happy. Truly, trials, disappointments, problems make us sad but it's how you view things in perspective that really makes a difference, i believe so.

Anyways, i came across this article on the magazine that i've been reading lately and i thought of sharing it with you. You may as well ponder on this.

To achieve a happier life, it's necessary to overcome some stumbling blocks, three of which are:

Comparison With Others. Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier - a relative, an acquaintance or, often, someone we barely know.

Images of Perfection. Almost all of us have images of how life should be. The problem, of course, is that only rarely do people's jobs, spouses and children live up to these imagined ideals.

Missing "Tile" Syndrome. One effective way of sabotaging happiness is to look at something and fixate on even the smallest flaw. It's like looking up at a tiled ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is missing. Once you've determined what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will really make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different tile, or forget about it and focus on the tiles in your life that are not missing.

Your philosophy should encompass this truism: if you choose to find the positive in virtually every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is largely your decision to make.

I was with friends the other day and we were talking about our work when out of the blue, our topic suddenly changed to vacation. It always feels good talking about having a vacation after a very stressful or exhausting day. It’s good to think of having rest and relaxation somewhere that is peaceful, quiet and all you can hear is the sound of the waves touching the shore. Sounds like I’m thinking of a vacation by the beach, huh? It is indeed. I’ve always considered having a vacation by the beach. Having an ocean-view room would be great. And there’s no other place that offers amazing ocean views and resorts but Mexico.

Known for their world class beaches, hotels and resorts like Karisma Hotels and Resorts who offer excellent service, sumptuous food and great amenities, Mexico is simply the right place for your vacation of a lifetime. An all inclusive mexico family vacation is perhaps what most of us dreamed of. I wonder when will I be able to visit the place. Someday, I hope.

Our city General Santos a.k.a. GenSan is celebrating Kalilangan Festival today. The week long celebration which started last Friday was welcomed with a beautiful fireworks display and will end tonight with another fireworks display which is the highlight of the event. What i like best about the festival is the flea market where items of any kind from different parts of the country is showcased at very reasonable prices. I haven't checked it yet but i will, perhaps next week with the company of my girlfriends.

I haven't been out today but i'm pretty sure, the flea market is packed with people again from different walks of life. And i think there will be a concert at the oval plaza and a street party somewhere. I'm not updated with the events since i'm not really into gimmicks but anyway, i know for certain that the festival was again celebrated with a blast.

Happy Kalilangan Festival, Generals!

Every single woman I know is so into shoes that they don’t seem to mind even if their shoe rack can’t seem to take another shoe in there. I so love shoes too but I don’t have that much pair that I can brag about. I only have few pairs and each has its role to play in the kind of occasion that I go. I have two pairs that I usually pair with my casual get-up – the kind of get-up that I wear when I go malling or when I’m out with friends. I also have two pairs that I use when I go to special occasions such as weddings, baptisms or any other special occasion there is. See? I don’t have many shoes; as much as I want to add another pair but I couldn’t find one that fits my taste. The shoe section is actually my first destination whenever I’m at the mall. I always check out for their new arrivals hoping that there is a pair that I like but unfortunately, I haven’t found one lately.

Until I came across WhatAPair.com. Wow! I just love the wide selection of shoes that they have especially those Dansko shoes and clogs. I’ve included a photo here of my choice and look at that, isn’t it nice? I’ve owned a white shoe before but since the time it was worn out, I never got to find another one that I like. And this one here just got me excited. I just love it!

Dansko Shoes are known for its quality and reasonable price. I might get one soon enough and this pair of white shoe here is of course what I’ll get. I’ve also checked the Dansko Clogs and I can’t really hide my excitement upon seeing the great selection they’ve got. Take a look at it yourself so you would know what I am talking about.

It feels good when you have close friends whom you can talk to anytime you need somebody to talk, right? I'm glad i have close friends with me but there are some people who don't have close friends. Perhaps they want to get close to that person yet they don't know how to start the ball rolling. If you are one of them, here are some tips that you could try.

"I feel exactly the same way." Common interests draw you closer. So, highlight similarities, from sharing a love of rom-com movies to having the same political views.

"Can I get you a latte?" Doing someone a favor shows you consider her more than an acquaintance. Example: Treat a co-worker to a java...and refuse to let her pay you back.

"Don't tell anyone, but..." Revealing a secret means you trust the person, which makes her feel important and bonds you. (Resist disclosing anything too intimate though.)

Running a business is not at all as easy as 1-2-3. I know that because our family is into business too. We’ve been into a construction business for years and during that span of time, I got to learn the ups and downs of having one. There’s a lot of work to do with regards to human resources, payroll, control, etc. And there’s a lot of factors to consider too when it comes to those because the success of an organization or a company greatly depends in those things, I believe so. But why make everything complicated and or difficult when you can make things easier for each and everyone? Yes you can with the help of PEO Companies.

They will provide you with the help you need with regards to your business, and that includes on just about anything. A business’ profitability and fruitfulness greatly depends on areas where the products and services offered are given proper attention and administration. Without those factors, I don’t think a business will prosper. So consider getting the assistance of a PEO. Their goal is to help you and make things easier for you. Also, if your company calls for staff leasing, then consider getting one. Don’t settle for anything less. Think of what is the best for your business and for sure, your business will be a success.

Many of us could probably attest to the fact that during courting stage, a phone call would send both you and your partner quivering but as soon as you got married, everything changed. There's no more "weak-at-the-knees" thrill which should not be the case. Here's how, with a little energy and imagination, romantic love can be more fulfilling in marriage than ever.

Break the Rules. Routine kills romance because the human animal gets bored very easily. That's why we love surprises and adventures. If your love life is in rut, try something new. Break some habits.

Connect Each Day. While we would all like to think we can be passionate when the urge strikes, that's hard to do when you have children and a job. You have to schedule time for sexual intimacy. An even greater problem for busy couples, though, is their lack of connection during the day. If you are not talking with each other, not spending time with each other, it becomes very awkward to all of a sudden grope for each other in the middle of the night. You need to first do all those things that help you connect emotionally. A good sexual relationship comes out of an emotional connection.

Make a Date. If life's demands are forcing you to put your marriage last, schedule time together with your partner. Even if you don't talk about anything very profound, these dates can be powerful because you know you are doing it to maintain your relationship.

Express Yourself. Many marriage partners hesitate to tell their mates what they would like romantically, but without communication, each partner flounders around in a hit-or-miss fashion, trying to figure out what will please the other.

Create a Little Tension. Passion is heightened by the tension created when you have to overcome impediments. It gets your energy up and helps you be creative.

I checked my email a few minutes ago and this letter from someone i don't know really surprised me. He wrote me a long letter which was pretty impressive but even though i was impressed, still there's this question mark on my head. I don't know, i felt something strange all of a sudden. I know it's not right and i think it's not fair but i'm not closing the communication right there and then though. He's entitled to a benefit of the doubt and i'm giving it to him. I'm just being cautious i guess. Well, after meeting several j**** in here, you can't really blame me for feeling that way. We'll see what happens next. (",)

If I’m not mistaken, I think it has been a year already since I started to register in some online dating sites hoping to meet that special someone whom I get to share the rest of my life with. But so far, I wasn’t lucky enough to meet that guy. I kind of envy my friends actually who were lucky to have met their soulmate or better half through those online dating sites, and they were actually the one who encouraged me to try my luck too. I’m not losing hope though and I’m not in a hurry anyway. I’m taking each day at a time and I hope, the right one for me will come knockin’ at my door one of these days. Wishful thinking!

And recently, I found out about passion search. As I was browsing the site, I’ve noticed that it is totally different from other dating sites for reasons which include; you can search for individuals through the age of your preference, location of your choice, etc. I might sign up and try my luck there too. What do you think? Or maybe you too, if you’re searching for your knight in shining armor like me. We never know, he’s just right there waiting for us. Want to know more? Feel free to check the site anytime.

I've posted previously about the get-together my friends and I had on the 17th of February which you can read HERE, but it's not all that. Aside from enjoying the food and the presence of each and everyone, we also had this gift giving which everyone of us really enjoyed. The idea came after our Christmas get-together and you probably find it strange to have a gift giving on Valentine's Day but that's how we spell fun. And as i've said before, our get-together will be every month already and so is the gift giving. Yep, that's how generous we are to each other. Haha!

Anyways, here are the gifts!

A cute Chinese sling bag from Mimi and Lottie which was stuffed with a cellphone accessory, hair accessory and a hanky.

A very nice cellphone holder from Judy.

Elsie came quite unprepared so she only gave us Tikoy. LOL.

Red friendship rings from me. (",)

And a lovely head dress from Hazel. That's Hazel, Judy and Lottie modelling every single gift they've got.

And here's Mimi, Me and Elsie doing the same. So what can you say? LOL.

Have you tried going in a single holiday somewhere just by yourself? I haven’t tried it but it’s one of those things that I’m looking forward to doing someday. I’ll bet it would be challenging most especially if it would be in a foreign place where you’re a total stranger and basically doesn’t know the language at all. The excitement of the vacation would revolve on that, I believe so.

If you are thinking of going solo for your vacation anywhere in the world, feel free to visit JustYou.co.uk and perhaps take a look at their singles cruises which are offered in a very reasonable price that would really fit anyone’s budget. Seeing the prices actually made me feel excited the more because it’s really affordable as compared to others. You can choose among the many packages which include the number of your desired days of stay in the cruise and or the places that you wanted to explore. Sounds great, huh?

So if you wanted to experience solo holidays in a cruise or somewhere where you can have your R & R, check out JustYou.co.uk today and book your holiday online as soon as you can because some travels are on limited offers only. Hurry! Check them out today!

So what can you say about these? Funny, huh? And you can only find these in one place. Guess where it is. Haha!

What’s your preference when it comes to money matters? Do you prefer to just save it on banks or you are considering the idea of investing your money into something worth investing? If you prefer the latter, then I have something to share with you – gold investing. I do believe you have heard about it since buying gold has been here for centuries and has been the choice of many because of the purchasing power that it gives the owner. Gold never fails to fascinate everyone and if you are one of those who is considering of purchasing gold or investing into it, check out Monex.com. They don’t only sell gold but silver, other precious metals and coins too. They also have this offer of delivering the items personally to you or arrange it for safety storage at any bank or depository. Feel free to check their site for more details.

Take your wild guess! Haha! Oh well, it's shopping on eBay. My bro's girlfriend told me a week ago or so that her friend had purchased a cheap bag there and since then, i can't last a day without checking eBay. But there's only one category that i choose to check every time and nothing else. The bag section, no less. But know what, i haven't won any bidding yet. I think i've already bid for like eight bags already but i wasn't successful even once. Poor me. Hehe. But I'm not giving up. I will actually check the site again after I'm done here. So watch out bags 'cause here i come. LOL.

I’ve always been fond of watching detective stories on television. I like how the mystery in every episode is unfold and how the actors solve them. I know I’m not good in solving mysteries but I did solve a few mysteries before. And even though I’m not really an excellent solver, still I find those shows thrilling and exciting at the same time.

Recently, I found out about 5minutemystery.com. The site presented mysteries for anyone to solve. I got hooked reading on some of the mysteries but it is the “Rhyming President’s Mystery” that caught my attention as soon as I opened the site. I find it amusing and really mysterious, of course, but I can’t solve it. Clues and the suspects were given but still, it’s not enough for me to be able to solve the mystery. Maybe you can help me. Just visit the site, sign up and you’re on your way in helping me solve the mystery.

I do believe it’s not only me who finds solving mysteries exciting. A lot of people are now hooked in solving mysteries at 5minutemystery.com. The site was even featured on ABC News. Meaning, more and more individuals find it interesting. I know solving a mystery can be mind-boggling and a little exhausting but the feeling of fulfillment after you’ve solved the mystery is simply indescribable. Am I not right?

I was talking to a friend yesterday and the topic about trust came out unexpectedly. We all know how important trust is in every relationship. I even remember a friend telling me that, "if there's no trust, then there's no relationship." If trust was once destroyed, it would be hard to rebuild it again though rebuilding it is not at all impossible. Rebuilding trust is a choice and if you're willing to make that choice, then you can have a relationship again that is full of trust. Anyway, let me share to you some excerpts from what i've read online.

Of all the qualities that make up a good relationship, trust is undeniably the most important. It's the one quality that a relationship simply can't survive without.

If you have trust as an issue in your relationship, it's a lot like how cancer can spread throughout a person's physical body.

Trust issues in a relationship are like what happens to the person who has cancer in their body-- if they don't pay attention to it, and don't do whatever it takes to heal it, it will sooner or later destroy that person's body and may take their life.

That's what lack of trust does to a relationship.

If you don't heal the trust issues, they eat away at the very core of your relationship and then suck the life out of what could have been a good or even great relationship.

I’m not a techie and I don’t even understand computer terms at times. But I’m pretty aware about some of the things which can harm our computers especially if it has an internet connection. We definitely need security for our computers and we need to have a proxy which Vpnomania.com can provide us. If you wanted to learn more about it, feel free to visit their site.

It happened yesterday afternoon at Montessori School where Yogi studies. As expected, some parents arrived late so the meeting which was supposed to start at 5 o'clock started at 5:30 p.m. already. Yogi and I was there at 5 minutes before 5 p.m. and there were only three of us who arrived before the set time. Some parents even arrived at 6 and some didn't arrive at all. But a quorum was achieved so the meeting was pushed through.

It was agreed that the graduation will be on March 27th, Friday. But the venue is yet to be finalized because the school personnel is yet to inquire about the venue's availability on the said date. They will just keep us posted with the updates through a letter or through sms.

Yogi's graduation really calls for a celebration because it's another milestone for him and it's one special moment that should be memorable for every child. It's his birthday on the 28th too so it would be a double celebration. Will keep you posted.

A weekend getaway has been the topic of my friends and me for weeks now. It is our goal to visit a new place outside our country and also to be able to be together and enjoy the bonding that we oftentimes missed because of our hectic schedules. Among the many places that we really wanted to explore is China which is known all over the world for its historical landmarks and amazing views.

I know my friends and I are not the only one who wants to experience China holidays. I do believe a lot of people are dying to see the place and explore it while they still can. It is great to discover the beauty only China offers and all these things are made easier for us with the help of TravelSphere.co.uk. They offer China tours at prices reasonable enough for everyone. Giving away a 20% discount for their holiday tours, what they have is perhaps the cheapest tour you will ever going to get. Enjoying great savings and a vacation at the same time, Wow! Where else could you find something like that?

So, c'mon! Let us all enjoy an escorted tour in China and treasure every moment because it could definitely be a vacation of a lifetime.

It was on the 17th of this month when we had our post Valentine get-together. We can't do it on the day of the Hearts itself because some of the girls have a date with their partners. Three of the us are already married and the remaining three are 100% single. Can you pinpoint which is which? LOL. Anyway, it was our first get-together for the year and definitely not the last. We have all agreed that we'll have a get-together every month. It all started last Christmas and we just can't get enough of each other, and that is why this get-together was created. And of course, we'll have another one again next month, and so on and so forth. Let me share with you some of the pictures taken that night.

Taken at the restaurant before finally having our share of their delicious food which i also posted HERE.

Mimi, Me and Elsie.

Hazel, Judy and Lottie.

At the coffee shop where we proceeded after dinner to have coffee which i posted HERE and also to continue the never-ending chitchat. (",)

More photos coming soon.

Almost everyone I know is glued in the front of their personal computers most of the time browsing the internet. Before, the internet was just used for searching facts, shopping, selling products and services, etc. Until social networking sites came in which made people got hooked the more, and I am not an exception. What can I say? I find it pretty interesting for many reasons. You get to meet friends from different parts of the world; you get to keep in touch with friends whom you haven’t seen for a long time; you get to share your interests with people who have the same interests as yours; you get to know different cultures and a lot more.

Social networking sites are actually sprouting like mushrooms on the internet now. Some of which are dedicated to people who share the same interest us everyone else; or people who have the same race or better yet, people who have the same hair color. You’ve heard it right! Redhedd.com is the name, and the place is for all the redheads who find interacting with another redhead fun and exciting. Isn’t it interesting? Signing up is totally free so go ahead – register now and enjoy the world of social networking!

All the pieces begin to fit together. Some people tend to focus on one aspect like diet, for example, or their environment. However these eight steps to health provide a more balanced, more full life - just as Jesus promised.

I’ve been watching the news and I’ve noticed that news about buildings or houses on fire have been in the headlines lately. What’s unfortunate about it is to know that there were victims in those incidents, and one of the reasons is having no proper fire exit and all. I do see exit signs in buildings and perhaps you do too but sometimes those exit signs are not in areas where they should be properly placed. Meaning, it’s just as good as not using any signs at all. They’re totally useless.

An exit sign or any sign for that matter is really necessary in places where they are greatly needed. Accidents could happen because of no proper signs. The benefits of having these signs should always be regarded to avoid the consequences of not having one. There are several factors to consider why a sign or I should say, exit signs should be given importance. And those things that I’ve mentioned above are just some of them.

If in case you are searching for EXIT SIGNS, visit ExitSigns.com and select among the many models of energy-saving exit signs that they offer which are made of high quality and are presented in modern designs. With those features, they are definitely worth the purchase.

I'm talking about Dad. He's one of those who are lucky when it comes to raffle draws and that dated way back when i was in grade school up to now. His luck is still with him. I can still remember the many items that he brought home ranging from kitchen accessories to home appliances. Those items that he got before was from those raffle draws for a cause. And since he started playing golf several years ago, the items that he brought home were just becoming bigger and bigger. He took home Electrolux appliances, electric fans, spa equipments, kitchen stuff, etc.

And the most recent that he brought here? These items! A 29" Wega Flat Screen TV, A mixer, and an autograph signed cap from Manny Pacquiao. He got these during Manny Pacquiao's invitational golf tournament on December 2008, and he was the luckiest among all because he got the highest prize in the raffle draw. We already have a 29" Sony Trinitron TV but still, this came as a big surprise!

Here's the cap which was personally signed by Manny Pacquiao himself. Unfortunately, Dad didn't have a picture of him and Manny while these prizes were awarded to him.

Isn't he lucky? Hope he'll be lucky in Lotto too. LOL.

I was doing my usual blogging stuff when I heard dad telling mom that he needs to have a new pair of eyeglasses. With that, I already have a site to recommend to him and I’ll bet you already knew what site it is - no other than Zenni Optical, of course. With their quality and very affordable prescription eyeglasses for only $8, like the one in the picture, they would be the best choice to shop for one. They are even continuing to make a buzz, and the latest to hit the news? Zenni Optical in the New York Times?! They were being recognized for selling the cheapest prescription eyeglasses yet of high quality which most individuals would really consider purchasing given the skyrocketing prices of goods. With Zenni, you will be seeing straight without breaking bank. Now, that is simply great!

Your brain is just as important as your body so what you eat and drink are significant. When balancing a diversity of things - family, work, and study - one must remember that nourishment may be the choice between success and failure. The choices you make about your diet have a huge impact on you overall - more than you probably thought!

Take a moment to think about how you've eaten today. Did you eat breakfast? How much caffeine are you drinking in a day? Are you doing all you can to get your fruit and vegetable servings in your meals? Working toward a healthy diet doesn't mean changing your eating habits completely in one day. More importantly, it means adding a piece of fruit to your breakfast, a vegetable to your lunch, starting your day with a glass of water, and carrying a water bottle with you throughout the day; little changes to your diet slowly move you to a more well-rounded diet.

Unfortunately, we don't always think of eating. You may not always feel the hunger, but your brain will work slower, your temper will react quicker, and your alertness will dwindle. Nutrition is purposeful and takes time - however, the benefits are astounding, exhilarating, and much more important than you think!

Social networking sites are sprouting like mushrooms on the internet. People find it interesting because they get to interact with different individuals from any part of the world. And guess what? There’s a new site that is now making a name, Acobay! But it’s totally different from other social networking sites and what makes it unique is, it is a consumer network wherein you get to share your stuff to others.

Loving could be so confusing...
But it is amazing to know,
That no matter how hard it is,
Loving someone is still the simplest reason,
Why you are HAPPY!

New York! New York! I wonder how it feels to be in the city that never sleeps. It is one of the many places that I dream of visiting one day. Known for its historical landmarks, ultimate shopping centers, great entertainment and superb food, no wonder why New York is among the most visited cities in the U.S.

New York Restaurants abound in the metro which offers cuisine from different parts of the world. But with a city as big as New York, I think choosing a restaurant that offers great tasting food would be difficult given the hundreds or maybe thousands of restaurants scattered all over the city. But with a review of the city’s restaurants presented by VillageVoice.com, everything is simply made easy. You can browse the site according to the cuisine of your choice, what fits your budget best or better yet, restaurants that are just within your neighborhood. Great! Take a look at it yourself.

Did you know that the way you think about what you see is more important than what you actually see? It's more important to have a healthy perspective than to sink into the sometimes unhappy and unhealthy reality around us.

That's not to say you should be in denial of reality - please, be aware of it and involved in it - however, how you view it is the key.

Take a quick mental checklist of what you see, think, and feel when you hear the words family, time, money, vacation, study, and grace. Did you think of faces; people that love you and are rooting for you to succeed? Did you feel the quickening of your pulse as you thought about time you have wasted and time you have used wisely? Did you pause and smile at the unimportance of some things you have thought to be so crucial in times past? Keeping the right healthy perspective is incredibly important.

Outlook, is how you decide to see the world in which you live. You can choose to worry about every aspect of your life-which will lead to stress and illness (studies also prove this), or you can choose to be thankful, put a smile on your face, and find the best in what comes your way.

Your outlook means being aware but not settled, involved but not satisfied. There is the saying, "Is the glass half empty or half full?" when the real thing is to say it's got something in it to start out with, and that's fantastic.

I used to work on shifting schedules and I had a hard time coping up at first because my sleeping schedule was really affected. Whenever I worked on a graveyard shift which is from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., my sleeping time would be in the morning until noon. Gladly, I didn’t experience having insomnia or any sleeping disorder of some sort.

A lot of individuals are now suffering from sleeping disorders. Reasons behind the disorder could be because of work, lifestyle, illness, etc. There are a lot of factors to consider why some individuals are into this disorder. That is why a sleep disorder center like Advanced Sleep Diagnostic Center was built to help those people who couldn’t have a good night sleep. With their most advanced facilities, a sleep study is done with a series of tests or examinations by professionals whose main goal is to provide the patient with the necessary things that he needs to know about his disorder and eventually helping him treat that disorder, and have a sound sleep again.

We all know how important sleep is when it comes to our health. An eight hour sleep daily is highly recommended by medical professionals because it is the only time that we could rest our tired mind and body. Lack of sleep could also result to certain diseases. So if you’re suffering from a sleep disorder, check Florida sleep study now and don’t wait any longer because your health is at stake here.

I was browsing eBay Philippines last night when i saw this Victoria Secret Purple hand bag. I love hand bags and i really fancy this one. It's pretty cheap too which got me really excited so i registered and bid. There's only an hour left to bid. I was the 13th bidder and i really had this hope that i'll win the bidding. I wasn't able to check on it after and it was only this morning that i've learned that i was outbid by only 15 Pesos. Grrr! I was really disappointed and dismayed upon learning about it. My bro used the pc last night so i wasn't able to check on it again. I should have bid on the last minute to be able to get it. I think i'll just try my luck again next time.

Having owned a website, I certainly know how important web hosting is for my web site. But it didn’t come handy for me at first. I got into thorough reading to understand it fully and with the help of friends, I eventually figured out the benefits of having one. But getting one wasn’t at all simple because I need to figure out first which web hosting would give me the service that I am looking for – quality yet affordable enough to fit my budget best.

Gladly, coming across WebHostingGeeks.com was just in time. Web hosts were rated, reviewed and ranked on their web site with their corresponding features. But having the best among the best web host organizations right in front of me still gave me a little difficulty which one to get. But I’m just so glad that the site presented an article on how to choose the best web hosting service which I used as my guide. It is such a very helpful site indeed.

This is my 12-year-old niece, Mawee and she's been into editing photos. That's what keeping her glued in front of the pc most of the time especially during weekends. As what she told me, she got the idea from her friends. The young ones are really becoming computer geeks nowadays. I'm just glad that what she's into isn't something nonsense like those computer games perhaps. I encouraged her to practice whenever she gets the chance and explore photoshop more. Below are the sample of her edited photos and if you wanted to see more, feel free to visit her site "A Day in the Life of Mawee" and perhaps leave your comments or suggestions, if you have any, for her to improve her skills more. We would appreciate it. (",)

Our lives weave in and out of the lives and journeys of others in such a way that at times it's hard to know where we end and they begin. Regardless of how connected we feel or think we are, family, friends, and acquiantances are deeply connected to our feelings of success, accomplishment, stress, frustration, and complete exhaustion.

To stay well-rounded, take time out to be with the people who love, encourage, and sometimes frustrate you! Have family dinner at least once a week - or whenever it works for everyone; meet friends for a hot drink or a walk around the park; phone a friend or family member just to talk; and be open for all the unexpected moments of happiness that being human and having family brings! Build healthy connections and you will have more than great friends; you will have family!

I got the news early this week and a meeting happened earlier regarding the much awaited "event". I am referring to our company. It was last year when this company opened but since it's still new, it was still struggling, production wise so we didn't work full time. So when the news broke out that we will finally work full time, we can't all help but be excited and overjoyed. But despite the news, there are still some things to be settled. And that's what we're going to anticipate in the coming days. Hope everything will fall into place just as we all wanted it. We all need it and we're hoping we'll get it. Fingers crossed!

When i was blog hopping before, the name Nuffnang is everywhere which made me wonder what it was. Out of curiosity, i checked their site and eventually decided to register. If i remember it right, that was about three about ago, i think. And last night, i got an email from them informing me of the ad that is now running on this blog. It's my first ever ad from them and the news really got me excited. You could find their ad at my right side bar and perhaps take a look at it, if i may say so.

Stories regarding addiction sadden me for many reasons like, a life has been ruined yet again and many lives will again suffer and be affected. We know for a fact that if one person is into addiction like heroin addiction for example, his family will also suffer the consequences or problems that it brings.

Just as their name implies, they promise you that your loved one will get the best treatment and will be provided with the necessary things that he needs.
