I’ve been looking for a cheap digital frame that I can use at work :D I don’t want my desk to be crowded by too many and various frames to show some of my favorite photos. The solution of digital frame perfectly fit what I need. I’m hoping to find a bigger size of frame but will not break our budget.. So hopefully I can find one. It doesn’t really matter if it is second hand.. as long as it works to my needs. I want at least 7” or big enough to show off 5×7 photos.

Something like this is nice, 10.1” :

I’m blessed that I live in the country where accommodates all sizes of clothing – whether you need clothing for tall, petite, average, misses, pluz sizes, even apple bottom pants. ;) It has good and bad advantages.. It’s good cause when you need to go for an event, you can easily get fancy dress without problem finding your size. The bad thing about it, you don’t worry gaining weight cause you know you can buy clothes bigger if the others starts to get tighter. Oh well, that’s one of my reason why I didn’t worry gaining weight before. lol

I have tons of photo of the kids and I wish we have LCD TV on the living room to showcase all their photos. My kids are growing and I know I cannot stop it. lol All I can do is to preserve the memories thru taking picture. So I take all the moments everyday to capture in my camera as much as possible.

Below is taken while they are having fun on the backyard with the sprinkle on. One Saturday night where it’s reall, really hot!

I think the cream I am using for my face will not work for my mom. She has different needs than me. One of her concerns is wrinkle removal and prevention. I found few products that look like best for her, based on the feedback and advertisements; however, the tag price is pretty much steep for just a small jar of cream.

So, I will try to go to the department store and get sample first before we buy one. From there, we will know what will work and what brand can give good value for our money. If you’re curious what product is the best: click here for wrinkle cream reviews.

We attended a graduation party yesterday and we ate in a buffet restaurant! Very tempting and bad for my diet. I didn’t fall in eating the sweets and carbs but I ate tons of meat and seafood, like two plates. I feel guilty but I should not dwell on it. I have to go on and still be positive..

Another thing too, my daughter is complaining on her boots and keeps on whining to go home. I bought her new socks to stop from complaining.. so why socks and not new boots? Because the socks is cheaper. lol I just want to divert her attention on the new socks and away from being tired.

Lianne, my daughter, is so fascinated with ballerina outfit. It is a good thing that they made the tutu so fashionable now that you can wear everyday even you don’t have a ballerina class. My daughter will always ask me if she can wear it when we go to the gym, on Sunday meeting, at the park, and even as her bed time clothes.lol I got two sets from Macys last week but I will send the other one to her cousin. It’s really cheap $7 for a set of shirt and the skirt. :D It was on sale and I have discounts since I have the store card. It really pays off to wait and be wise digging the sales rack. lol Who knows that equestrian apparel will be the next thing to be added as casual clothes and not just for costume or performance clothes. ;)

This tutu from Target is also cheap and pretty! I would probably buy this one if I did not find the one from Macys.

Looking for Ferrari parts are very easy online… But I have no Ferrari to dress up yet. lol I’m just admiring the options I can have once I get one. :D The ultimate dream that I’m not really serious achieving it. Maybe not at this time.

Today is Monday and I was able to do things enough to end my day productively. I’m so happy about that.  Hope to finish all the task I planned for this week..

These are the shoes I found from Naturalizer.com:

The brand that I like but not really excited with the styles. :(   I’m looking for more pointy pumps something like this, these came from famousfootwear.com:

Since I will be wearing it for work, I’m not sure if the shoes from famousfootwear.com will be comfortable like the ones from Naturalizer.

I found the pointy one complements my big calf to look smaller in dresses. hhhehe I cannot really decide for now, I will find out tomorrow in the outlet if Naturalizer has the one I’m looking for – pointy, close, and comfortable.

For now, I need to buy the pond skimmer we need at home.

Today is Thursday and it’s my Friday :D We have no work tomorrow because of the furlough day and I have few errands I need to do.

  1. My annual check up in the afternoon.
  2. Visit a friend and his family in Pocket area and also harvest their lemon tree ;)
  3. Grocery shopping and some window shopping for clothes.
  4. And at night, I need to edit photos from June 2009 to print.
  5. Buy the hgh supplements for my sister because we need to send another balikbayan box this month.

I will be sad when the furlough days is over.. but I will get more pay by that time. hehe ;) I guess the extra money will offset my sadness then lol

My mom is asking me to order another discount prescription eyeglasses online. We compared the prices in three local stores in our area and their prices vary from high to the highest. Crazy! Good thing I checked online and we are able to get a prescription eyeglass plus 70% cheaper. The quality is nice too.. but my mom said to upgrade the frame this time. It will double the online price but still cheaper compared to buying it from the actual store.

I sent my mini laptop computer or netbook to my family in Manila. I remember I cleaned it up and remove my user ID and put my sister in law’s name as the new password. However, they cannot open the admin account =( I feel bad cause they are very excited to use it and then it won’t work. The solution I found online requires a CD-Rom and Dell Mini doesn’t have one. I also read the option of USB but the program cost $89. Ayaaay! I haven’t called the support because we cannot find the box. Hope they can figure it soon..

This little man will be the next big spender in our family. I surely need to get sets of tuxedo and suit. I will be happy if someone will pass some of their clothes to my little boy. lol That will save me money for other things to shop. I remember when I was young I just get clothes that my eldest sister will not be able to wear and clothes from my cousins. I never had a new one always a left over. Lol But my kid does not have older siblings or older cousins that can pass thing to them. Therefore, I have to buy my own.

With high unemployment rate, I know that a lot will be looking for low cost health insurance. However, what things can we consider making sure, we make wise decision on healthcare plan?

A year ago my husband lost his job too and I became watchful in every penny that we spend. So in deciding health insurance make sure you also have plans. Take note of things that you want for the following year, any pain or do you think you will need an urgent care to see a doctor? Are you planning to be pregnant? Are you thinking of any surgery to be done for that year?

Considering those questions will help you decide to take health insurance that will cover expenses with less out of pocket. Always think that less out of pocket will make your premium higher too. But if you have surgery to take care for that year, I’m sure that the premium will cover you good than paying the out of pocket cost.

However, if you think that no surgery or not planning to be pregnant then lower premium with high deductible is the best solution.

Have you seen this Free People blouses on sale?

I saw most of their styles on People’s magazine worn by celebrities. It is affordable for the style and quality of their apparel. But they doesn’t carry the styles I want in my size. Yeah, most of the tops I like is only available in size 0. Shocks! Only my one thigh will fit on it. Lol I really need to take losing weight seriously (hmmn, how many times did I say that?) lol

Below are some of the cuties that I found:

I just purchased this for my daughter from Amazon.com. She can read most of the 3 letters word and some 4 letters sight word but she always gets frustrated when I’m teaching her new word. And I’m not really happy about it. I want her to learn to read by 1st grade.. and hope I can accomplish this goal thru this learning aid.

I really do not want to spend this amount of money but when I think what it can give to my daughter then I have no choice but to go ahead and check out my cart. Now I need to do real work like searching for long distance movers so I can have more money on my pocket. Who knows I might need this kind of service if we decide to move in east coast. ;)

I already bid goodbye to my Dell netbook last Saturday. I gave it to my sister in law since they need a computer at home for the kids. I consider netbooks as one of my needs but I can survive with only a laptop for now. I might upgrade to a new laptop soon and I will consider the size smaller than 14.1” but I need a laptop with the power and not just for surfing the web. And I know that Dell offers XPS with only 13” that is really perfect for what I need. So the next step for me is saving for funds.

My brother is asking me to get prices for lamb motor. If you will ask me what is it for.. I have no idea too.  My brother is the one needing it and I’m sure he knows what is this for. I will definitely ask him what this can do.  Anyhow, this is what it looks like:

I need to do all my task before I go to bed tonight. I will go back to work tomorrow and that means that I will be tired when I get home. I’m happy that I was able to check all these things my brother is asking from me.

I want our garage floor to look like this one :D And hopefully do some drywalls so the space can be use as additional room or living area. The floor is perfect for the gym I am thinking in our garage. The cost of this floor is not bad. I look at the website and I did some computation how much it will cost for our garage and its less than $1k. It’s amazing to make our garage floor this pretty without spending a lot.

If you need best weight loss products where do you start your search? I remember myself browsing bottles of diet pills in a health food store. Even I’m taking diet pills I still want to make sure that I’m taking natural ingredients (it doesn’t really make sense huh?). I want to be healthy but here I am taking diet pills. Anyway, I need to lose weight so I can be healthy and away from high blood and diabetes. I have a goal to shed at least 30 lbs by end of this year.. and I have 3 months to work on it. Hope to meet this goal!

I think buying it on the store is way better.. because you can return it if it doesn’t work. lol

I asked my husband what is the difference between the industrial computer and the personal computer. He told me but I wasn’t able to understand it clearly. So I googled it but I still didn’t get the clear about these two. But based on the types of industrial computer available for sale, I think it refers mostly on computers that are cater for the needs of a specific industry. They are more powerful than the personal computer and more option to upgrade. Hope I got it right.

Anyways, if you are looking for industrial computer but wants to stay on the budget, try coresystemsusa.com. I noticed their package is cheaper than other website.
