My First Snow Angel

“When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels”..as for me, I did the latter;)

The first snow falls on the first day of December. Brrrrrr…it’s really freezing cold. Aside from the coat I am wearing, I still have to put on three to four clothes just to keep myself warm. There was a snowstorm last Sunday and all the while it's going to be a boring day but I was wrong. While my housemates were busy shoveling the snow I preferred to make a snow angel. It was really cold lying down and keeping my body flat in the snow but I enjoyed it most especially when I am brushing my arms between my head and waist in a sweeping motion, and moving my legs apart as far. It was like doing a jumping jack while lying on my back. I felt I had my Sunday snow at its best when I saw how pretty my snow angel was.

Pier 1 (LT 2 December)

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 Imports. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Howdy Folks! Have you been looking for stylish and affordable items for the upcoming holiday season? Well, visit Pier 1 and check out the only store that speaks to you, be it in entertaining your guests, giving gifts, or decorating. We cannot deny the fact that the Yuletide season is officially upon us. So, to get started, let me share with you some of my favorite ways or preparations to get in the Christmas spirit.

When I am browsing the site, I have seen the following “must haves” for the holiday season. First are the holiday gifts I am planning to give to my friends. You know how hard it is to think what gift to give to bff, love ones, or even the employer. Good thing Pier 1 has the Zodiac Gift Guide. The Zodiac Gift Guide provides tips on how to choose the right gift through zodiac sign. Then, I want a new set of dinnerware that I can use for Christmas’ Eve and New Year’s Eve. The dinnerware comes in solid and pattern designs. As for me, I want to get the ruby red Spice Route Dinnerware. Last of my “must have is to complete my décor. Right after the Thanksgiving Day, I started putting up Christmas décor, and my décor would be completed once I have the following stuffs I have seen in Pier 1: stocking stuffers Christmas Bath Puffs in snowman, reindeer, and gingerbread designs; a green and red miniature stocking stuffers with bubble bath and lotion. Well, as you have noticed, those decors are for the restroom because that’s the part of the house which I always forgot to put up Christmas décor. 

 

Of course, I deserve to have a gift, right? If my friends or a special someone would buy me a gift, I would like to receive any of the following: Short Crystal Pearl necklace which is silver plated and handcrafted of glass and beads for, a pearlescent Spiral Bracelets, and/or a Papasan Chair and Stool with a cushion. What’s more exciting about the Pier 1 is the clearance sale. Items are as low as $ 1.98. Now, If you still do  not have any other clue what give to gift in different occasions like weddings or birthdays, all you have to do is go to The Idea Room and you will find tips and wide selections of gifts to choose from.  Also, you can find a Re-do, not a to-do Home Gallery designs.

Yuletide season is a time of giving. During November and December, clients or customers are welcome to support Pier 1 gift giving project “Toys for Tots”. Just drop off an unwrapped toy and/or make cash donations at the register.  Let us continue spreading the holiday cheer and one way is by liking Pier 1 Imports on Facebook. Every new fan is a $1 for Toys for Tots.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LG. All opinions are 100% mine.

Guess it was just right in time because a new phone was released for the global market. The LG Optimus 7 the first Windows Phone 7 device that offers people to do more in fewer steps.

The Optimus 7 has a 3.8 inch WVGA display, with 720p HD video recording and playback and 5MP camera. According to LG, a user doesn’t have to dig through the menus in sharing multimedia files. Just access on the picture, video, or music “hubs” and files can be shared wirelessly with other digital devices.

What more, with its 16GB internal memory, I can be able to MP3 files, applications and hours of videos as much as I want. I love taking pictures using my phone. So, Optimus 7 is really a good deal for me. The camera has Intelligent Shot that I can take the photo perfectly without adjusting the camera settings and Panoramic Mode.

Another good thing on this phone is this allows me to finish my shopping, banking and other daily duties while I’m out running around doing errands.

Easy Methods to Use in Teaching Your Child Effective Time Management

There are 3 easy methods to teach your child effective time management. These are: by teaching your child how to tell time; by teaching your child how to set priorities; and by showing your child that managing time is fun.

We’ve all been children before, so we know that some hardcore beliefs that we’ve decided to keep our entire lifetime had been passed on to us by our parents at an early age in our lives. We might even have forgotten when they actually first started telling us this and that, but we’re sure they’ve been doing so for as long as we can remember. Time management skills might just be what he needs to cope better in life when he’s grown. So how can you effectively teach your child this skill?

By teaching your child how to tell time

Teach your child early on to tell time. If you want your child to learn how to manage time, then this is the first step. Other than the advantage of being introduced early to numbers as well, your child will become more responsible and disciplined when he knows how to tell time and why it’s important. Use a clock with the three hands rather than a digital clock because your child might be bored with the latter. Choose a large one with attractive designs to make it more fun. For example, when your child asks for ice cream, tell him he can have one at four o’clock. Then show him the numbers where the hands should point at this time (You’ll also be teaching him patience through this.). As he asks for more things, he’ll have the idea that activities are done at different times during the day.

By teaching your child how to set priorities

As is always said, there are always more things to do than there is enough time to do all of them. This can be true even for a child. By teaching your child how to set his priorities, he’ll know how to divide his time among his different activities; he’ll know where to spend more time on, and where to spend little. You can teach your child this by using the reward principle. If he finishes his home work first, he will have the remaining time before bedtime entirely for television. But if he wants television first, he would have to watch only until a certain time, regardless if he’s watching a favorite show. Sometimes also, you might find your child having a dilemma between doing two school projects. Ask him which one he finds more difficult and advise him to do that one first. This way, he won’t dread doing the second project because he’ll know it’ll be easier. Always make your child see the advantages of wise choices; he’ll carry this skill until the time he starts making decisions for himself.

By showing your child that managing time means fun

You should never left this part out. If you allow sufficient time to be allotted for playing, entertainment, and doing the things your child enjoys, this will ensure that he knows you mean well and that you’re not simply making his childhood miserable. This is true for all the other things you want to teach your child; if you want your child to really accept the lessons you’re teaching him, it is always imperative that you let him see the fun part of it. Also, this is important for your child to learn how to balance responsibility and relaxation, which will ultimately make him the well-rounded individual that you want him to be.

As a parent, consulting a time management e-book might help in further honing your kid’s time management skills.

2 Things You Need to Know Before Buying a GSM Phone and SIM Card

When you want to buy a GSM phone and SIM card, you need to know the required features and the best sources to make use of your equipment.

Just like Asia, Europe has adopted and begun to use the GSM standard for its mobile communications. Unlike the US, which relies on different mobile companies to create their standard that are often incompatible among the various networks, European and Asian GSM phone users can their phones wherever they need to. While that is a convenient thing for many, there are some important things to understand about GSM phones and SIM cards before buying them.

Features required

When making calls when you are in Europe, you will need a SIM card with a dual band unlocked GSM phone. European countries use dual frequencies, which are 900-1800. The US, on the other hand, uses 850-900. Selecting a quad-band GSM phone is most suitable for you if you intend to use it in Europe and in the US. Having an unlocked phone allows the user to use his SIM card so long as the frequency available qualifies for the given need. Make sure you buy a SIM card intended for the country where you are going to use it. So, if you are in Spain, use a Spain SIM card since call charges and available services will vary depending on the country. Definitely, when you are in a specific country for travel purposes only, a prepaid SIM is just what you need. Postpaid SIM normally requires a long-term contract and monthly bills to pay that fluctuate according to your usage. \

Best sources

Unlocked GSM phones can be acquired from many sources. You have the option of buying them on eBay or on Amazon. Most companies that rent unlocked phones also have items for sale. When purchasing your phone, check that it is recommended for use in the specified country where you will need it. You also need to buy a multi-voltage charger for your phone. Oftentimes, you can use your SIM card with your GSM phone, too. It is not necessary to buy the phone and the SIM card at the same time. Generally, it is now easy to purchase SIM cards for nearly all countries right in your country of origin.

Simple Yet Complicated

Eating Fruit on an Empty Stomach

Happy Wednesday everyone. Let me share an article from a chain email I received from my friend Doris. Thanks sis for sending this email.

What do you think of this?? Interesting..... Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. He explains: before he is using solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients. He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below. Letter to original email writer: Dear Shereen, Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments. Thanks and God bless. Dr Stephen Mak EATING FRUIT... We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat ddurian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually alll this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look! KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange. APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke. STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals. ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer. WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the ccancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes. Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

Mellow Yellow Monday

Naturally, leaves turn from green to yellow then brownish dry and shriveled. It is not because this plant bears bats, lol, but for the reason that those leaves are already older leaves, their time is over.

As we noticed, these leaves turning to yellow are in the lower area of a plant. When nature re-captures the nutrients from the older leaves into the main plant then the leaf color becomes yellow.

Thanks to DrowseyMonkey for this meme.

Happy Halloween

Google’s logo features Scooby Doo’s Scary Scene. Halloween that is annually celebrated on October 31 is surely one of the most favorite holidays primarily in the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. For this post, I wanted to share what I read on some safety precautions to take in common activities for Halloween. Thanks for News and Tribune.com for these tips.

See and Be Seen

• For greater visibility during dusk and darkness, decorate or trim costumes with reflective tape that will glow in the beam of a car’s headlights. Bags or sacks should also be light colored or decorated with reflective tape.

• To easily see and be seen, children should also carry flashlights.

• Teach children to never assume they are seen by a vehicle. Small children may be especially difficult to spot in the dark.

• Remind children to look both ways before crossing the street.



Trick or Treating

• Due to the number of children out on the street on Halloween evening, motorists should be especially careful driving along city streets, especially in neighborhoods, during designated trick-or-treat hours.

• Trick-or-treaters should use sidewalks instead of the street whenever possible and always cross at crosswalks.

• Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible child.

• Make sure older children trick-or-treat with friends and carry a cell phone for quick communication.

• Children and their parents should be cautioned about accepting unwrapped treats.



Costumes

• When purchasing costumes, masks, beards and wigs, make sure the label says “flame resistant.” While this doesn’t ensure these items won’t catch fire, it does indicate the items will resist burning and should extinguish quickly.

• To minimize the risk of contact with candles or other sources of ignition, avoid costumes made with flimsy materials and outfits with big, baggy sleeves or billowing skirts.

• Apply a natural mask of cosmetics rather than have a child wear a loose-fitting mask that might restrict breathing or obscure vision. If a mask is used, make sure it fits securely and has eyeholes large enough to allow full vision.

• Swords, knives and similar costume accessories should be of soft and flexible material.



Pumpkin Carving

• Children should never carve pumpkins.

• Children can draw a face with markers. Then an adult can do the cutting.



Safe Homes

• People expecting trick-or-treaters should remove anything that could be an obstacle from lawns, steps and porches.

• Check outdoor lights and replace burned-out bulbs.

• Wet leaves should be swept from sidewalks and steps to avoid slips.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN;)

Halloween Cupcake

Trick or treating, dressing up in a spooky costume, and eating ghoulish food like Halloween cupcakes are the most common thing in celebrating Halloween.

Halloween cupcake designs are meant to be fun.

Using some spooky characters, which will give color and attraction to the traditional cupcake, are

spook-tacular toppings for green and orange color icing or frosting.

Have a spooky nice day;)

6 Essential Qualities of Science Fair Project to Make It Award-Winning

An award-winning science fair project possesses the following qualities: It clearly presents the proper use of the scientific method; it exhibits creativity; it shows clarity; it reveals mastery of the topic; it possesses great display quality; and it reveals good technical skills.

If you want your science project to win the big event, you need to put on some hard work and apply the right techniques. Your project should possess qualities that judges and spectators are looking for. Here are the most important features that your project should have to make it award-winning:

It clearly presents the proper use of the scientific method

Following the steps of the scientific method is the foremost quality that judges look for in a science project. See to it that you have clearly identified your question or your problem. Make sure that you have done a thorough research and you have conducted the experiments in the right manner, considering the different variables involved. The data you present must also be accurate and clearly evident in your written report. Finally, your conclusion must be able to answer your problem and is supported by the data you presented.

It exhibits creativity

The backbone of award-winning science fair projects is creativity. Judges will see how creative, resourceful, and practical you are in gathering your data as well as in your experimentation, most especially with the equipment used. It is also very important for your project to be original and unique from among others.

It shows clarity

A great science project must also possess clarity in every aspect, starting from the statement of the problem down to the display. You must be able to clearly state and organize your problem, hypothesis, data, and solution in a logical manner. Your display must also be able to clearly convey its message to the spectators, even to those who are not acquainted with the subject matter of your project.

It reveals mastery of the topic

Every science project involves interview from the judges and some questions from the spectators. It is very important that you master every detail of your project. Be ready for certain questions that involve changing some variables in your experiment, so make it a point that you truly comprehend the nature of your project. You must also be able to thoroughly understand and explain your display and how it plays an important role in conveying your message to the spectators.

It possesses great display quality

Your display need not be too showy to make it to the top spot. All you need to do is to make it neat and organized, as well as uniquely creative and appealing to your audience. Make sure all the relevant details are emphasized in your display. All the headings, labels, tables, pictures, and charts in your display and your written report must be simple and clear, but not boring, to make it pleasing to the eyes.

It reveals good technical skills

Award-winning science projects also possess great technical skills. Your display must be strong and sturdy. Reports must be well-written with careful consideration to spelling, grammar, and sentence construction. Ideas must be presented straight to the point without much flowery words. It is also important that you do majority of the project by yourself or your group. If assistance was given, it must be properly acknowledged.

Getting your project to win the science fair is not an easy task. You need the right motivation by choosing a topic that interests you most and by focusing on your goal, which is to win. As long as you have the right attitude and the right techniques, you are sure to make it to the top spot.

Sepia Scenes and Wordless Wednesday

Showing some designs, we made in our home for halloween. Thanks Maryt for this meme. I made my Sepia effects by editing the following pictures using windows photo gallery.

Mellow Yellow Monday

Is this how zombies were born? Well they could not even sing the kiddy song “I have two hands the left and the right “or cannot even clap using one hand, lol. Yet when they hear a rapper says, “Put your hands in the air,” for sure zombies would reply, “Put your hands up for Halloween.”

Have a happy preparation for the Halloween;)

Thanks Drowsey Monkey for this meme.

From My Own Nail Salon

Ok, folks, let us have some girlalu talk this time. Most women are crazy on manicure and pedicure. Even in the times of earliest civilization, women used various forms of colors or dyes to decorate their nails. In the last couple of years, a new method of decorating the nails comes into being. Wonderful creativities are coming out in varieties of nail décor, which is known as Nail Arts. As we see, there are different nail arts available at any beauty supply store or any mall.

When I was in the Philippines, I am hiring somebody to have my nail done, although it was just a plain manicure and pedicure. Yet sometimes I had one manicurist who has a little talent in art so she would put designs whenever she had to do my nails. I really loved it whenever she would use a glittering heart or star shapes for design. Now, I am in the USA and everything is expensive, especially if you still have that hangover of comparing the price from dollar to peso… ;) I cannot spend money every two weeks to pay a nail technician or artist to paint nail designs of my choice. More so, I do not have the nice finger shape, mine is short and crooked. Having all the nail arts and readymade nails with stunningly different designs I thought of pampering my own nails and let out a little artist in me. I just cannot have my fingernails longer because it would be hard for me to play the guitar, hahahaha. Well, for these past two months, I already made three dots designs and gave name to each one of them.

Blue Flower in Pink

Arrow Dots
Leafy Dots

So, how about you, what designs have you been making for your nails?

Have a happy Tuesday;)

Mellow Yellow Monday

Geeez….thank God bees are not big as this flower. It will be very scary being bitten by a bee. Bee stings are painful and at other times, it is deadly. It depends if the person is allergic to the venom. So, it is best to remove the bee stinger right away to reduce any reaction to the bee venom.

Have a mellow Monday to all;)

Smiley Saturday

A man called to testify at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), asked his accountant for advice on what to wear.

"Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let him think you are a pauper," the accountant replied.

Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice. "Do not let them intimidate you. Wear your most elegant suit and tie."

Confused, the man went to his Priest, told him of the conflicting advice, and requested some resolution of the dilemma. "Let me tell you a story," replied the Priest.

"A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. 'Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck.' But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. Wear your most sexy negligee, with a V neck right down to your navel."

The man protested: "What does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?!"

"Simple", replied the Priest...

"It doesn't matter what you wear, you are going to get screwed!"

Another First

Howdy fellas, guess what gift I received this month. A good and caring friend of mine bought me an FG700s Yamaha Guitar from an online guitar store. Actually, I still have my old one which we bought at Gibraltar for 20$ only. Are you thinking if I am good in playing the guitar? Nah…honestly, I do not play well. I just love picking up a guitar and play few songs that I love to sing on my own beat. I just really love playing the guitar and having fun while doing it. It gives me the feeling of being outside of the world. It is so peaceful and relaxing while expressing myself by strumming and singing.

Looking Back…

I was in sixth grade when I started to get interested in learning how to play the guitar. From then on, I have been always amazed to those who were good in playing guitar. I grew up seeing my cousins and his friends jamming every night in the front yard and at the front porch, what we call “hagdan na bato.” My cousin “Kuya Boyet” serves as my inspiration in playing guitar. Aside from being super good in this music, he is a good painter as well. So, like my cousin’s buddies pastime, my friends and I did the same thing. Chie, one of my friends, is blessed with this talent. She would be our guitarist whenever we were jamming. “A Horse with No Name”, “Hard Day’s Night”, “and Teach Your Children” were our top three songs that time. Most of all, I could not forget the Christmas carol nights that we had. We received 5peso to 10peso from each house. We were so happy because we were earning more money as the nights went on. Then on Christmas Eve, we would count how much money we earned and we would divide the total amount to each one of us.

Now…

I am still trying. I have always loved playing guitar although guitar does not like me much, lol. I cannot even learn finger styling. During my free time, I would watch free lessons online and I even subscribed so I can learn more. Yet, one thing I am sure of now. With my first Yamaha guitar, I will enjoy more while playing, strumming, and singing my favorite gospel songs, worship songs, love songs, and country songs.

Read & Pass the WORD

On the lighter side;)

One day, a Genie appeared to a woman and said, “This is your lucky day! I will give you 3 wishes.”

“Yeheey!” the woman squealed.

“But on one condition,” said the Genie, “Whatever you ask for, your husband will receive 3 times more.”

The woman frowned, “What? But I hate my husband! He’s a despicable man!”

The Genie shook his head. “I’m sorry. I’m the Love Genie. I repeat: What you ask for, your husband will receive 3 times more.”

The woman said, “Oh, okay. My first wish: Make me very rich. I want $1 Million.”

The Genie asked, “Are you sure? Your husband will have $3 Million.”

She says, “Oh, never mind. What is his is mine and what is mine is his.”

“Very well then!” the Genie said, and with a wave of his hand, and “Poof!” the woman had $1 Million—and her husband had $3 Million.

“My second request is that I want to be very beautiful.”

The Genie asked, “Are you sure? Your husband will look like Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby and John Lloyd put together. This is very dangerous. The girls will flock to him.”

The woman said, “Just as long as I’ll be beautiful.”

And with the wave of his hand, “Poof!”, and she became utterly beautiful and the husband three times more handsome.

The woman then said, “For the third wish, I would like to have a very mild heart attack.”

Lesson: Whatever you give to yourself, you give to others more. If you like yourself, you’ll like others too. If you dislike yourself, you’ll dislike others too. Because life is a mirror. What you see in others is a reflection of what you see in yourself.

Mellow Yellow Monday

Hi to all! How was your weekend? Since the big day for family squashes and pumpkins is about to come, I prefer to post this picture for my first MYM entry. This picture was a snapshot at the apple orchard. In addition, I want to Thank Drowsey Monkey for this meme.
