Not a perfect time for celebration

Yesterday was my birthday, But it wasn't such a big deal. Well, I want it to be a big deal, but i just felt like this wasn't the right time to really celebrate. At this point my country has been hit by a typhoon that is 30-day worth of rain in just one day. So in the end it was a flash flood.

This was actually the first time in my entire life that I saw the Major cities in our country was under water. I mean literally under water. Just today I went out with my daughter to go to the bank to pay some bills. I was very shocked! There was this part in our place that belong in the low-lying areas. And yes it was really shocking to see the many houses, establishments and even malls were greatly affected. It seems like I'm in a movie were I woke up and I'm in a ghost town. Many shops were all covered with mud and all the items were all wet and soaked in mud.

The motorcycles in the Motorcycle store were all covered with mud. And all of the staffs and employees were helping dry up and clean all the motorcycles. I felt bad whenever I saw people begging for money on the streets, asking for almost anything. There was this guy who seemed to have lost his family so i felt really bad so I gave some money. My daughter asked me why, and I just said" were helping them sweetie" And when we got home. I felt like Giving something to those people who are in need is such a feel-good experience for me. So yeah, birthday is fine!

Happy Birthday to me!

"Will somebody bring this cake to me!!!!!" LOL!!

Talbot's surprising change.

I have been watching videos from Red Chair Confessions. And every time the site come up with a new video.... I just can't wait to watch it. Alright so the videos are telling a story, Of a woman who is having a problem, a secret that has been kept for a long time, She became obsessed with it and... and..... I'm not going to tell the whole story. But I was really thinking that these videos is advertised by a certain company.

But to my surprise, It was Talbots I was like.... "What?" Really?. It was so new, very modern hip and trendy. I was thinking of another actually. Like Ben Sherman or something. But It was Talbot's. The clothes are very modern, I was thinking about the old Talbot's, but it was very different now. The styles are just so cool, the younger generation would really appreciate this cool change and at a reasonable price.

You could check their new line of clothing and tell me your favorite by posting a comment here. My favorite is the cotton Lawn popover. This blouse would go well with my jeans and short pants. I know it will look good on me, And probably yours too.
Here's one of the videos that I enjoyed watching.

I want a real IPhone!

Alright so my student went to Beijing last week and he told me that his main goal was to buy a new phone in China, Knowing that is cheaper there, He already prepared some money. After one week he went back home without any phone.

He was really hoping to buy a new iphone, he heard that it was really cheap there. I actually told him that he should check where it was made of. I have nothing against China, It's just that there are so many fake stuffs out there that are made in China. He told me that he found a lot of IPhone sold there, But he also found a lot of imitations there. It was so alike, It's just that the fake ones are harder to use. It's touch screen is not soft touch, It's super hard touch before it moves. He doesn't want to fool anybody buy buying a fake one, because of that he lost his interest of buying a new one.

So when he went home in Taipei. He bought a 100% real Apple IPhone.

I've been addicted to My lot

I can't believe myself, I registered for my lot 3 years ago and just left and didn't even try to use my account! Just this month I used it again because I heard that many people like it so much. Aside from you get an extra few cents with it,'you will enjoy the company of the people. My friends in my lot were really great and helpful to me. I was really surprised with the responses of the people who replied to my questions and topics.

For those people who are looking to get some extra cash and need some really good advices from different people around the world then My lot is definitely for you. You will really feel that you belong to this group. If you have questions and things that you want to know, Or if you just want to hear the opinion of others this is the place to be, If you want to earn more with my lot just start discussions, the earnings maybe slow at first but after sometime it increases. It really depends on you. I hope to see you there!

Fine watches

My birthday is getting near, and I'm not very excited, First, I still don't have any single idea what to do on my birthday, second, My birthday falls on a working day, and i really don't like to celebrate in the middle of the week, And lastly my mother's birthday is just a week away, and I know how much she would like a new watch for her birthday. SO i did my research and found some great interesting watches, Like this Patek Philippe. The site is called finest watches and they got watches for men and women. They got a wide range of finest branded watches such as Rolex, Cartier, Omega and a lot more, I'll definitely will check back on this.

Lockerz invites anyone?

Have you heard of this latest cool site that is only on pre-launch but already making waves.. why? It's just so cool period.

What is lockerz? A site that will let you play games, watch videos, listen to music and earn PTZ which is what they called for points. Points are easy to get, just logged in everyday and you get points, play games, invite friends and you get more PTZ. You can exchange these PTZ with cool gadgets(I phone/ I pod, etc) and cool branded stuffs for girls( bags, shoes, scarf). The pointz are very easy to reach, because it's so low.

You are probably asking is it a scam? I don't think so. Anyways, it's free so there's nothing to lose. You can enjoy playing games and answer their(dailies) daily questions, and you earn points which you can redeem to different products.

Another question in your head.USA only???! Nope this is for everyone.. International members are all welcome. SO don't be left out. Send me you Email. I'll give you an invite.

If you go straight to the site you will see nothing but the logo, because you can't access the site unless you got an invite. I got 20 so who want one?

Hubby's going to receive a new watch from me.

Ok so the "ber" months has now officially started and yes, I loved it when it's starting to get cold, I love the ber months for so many reasons and of course the most reason is that my birthday is coming near! LOL! ( do I really have to broadcast it? hell yeah, Hey brothers, sisters are you all reading this?!!!) LOL!)

Ok. so I just noticed that most of the important dates in my life are falling in those months. like September 29th is my birthday, (hey sis, read between the lines LOL!) My husband's birthday is on November 5, Mum's birthday and Bro's also fall in these months( September and December) Our wedding anniversary is on Nov. 30. Mum and Dad's is on the 18th of the same month. So you might be asking..And so?!! hello?!!........ gifts?! I was like.. There are so many things to celebrate..

Anyways, I was just worried because last year I didn't get any present to my husband for our Anniversary, because I already gave an advanced gift for his b-day. So I was thinking of giving a watch. And I have to take note that he is a swimmer, so a perfect Seiko Dive watches
would be a great idea. He's going to love me more. LOL! I saw a cool one from bluedial.com, And I have all the good reasons in he world to purchase one for my hubby.

Still mourning.

Last night me and my family went to the wake of the Executive Minister of the Church of Christ (INC), Erano G. Manalo, And I must say this was the most organized and solemn wake that I have been. There were so many people (members of the church) including us, who eagerly waited for their turn to see our Beloved " Ka Erdy"
It was all worth the wait. We waited for 2 and half hours but we only saw him for only few seconds, but it was all worth it.

To Ka Erdy,

Thanks for everything, For all the guidance and the unselfish love that you shared to all the brethren, We are all so fortunate to have you as our Executive. God bless you and your family, and God bless the Church.

Buy your car.com

I came across this site, this is very much useful for people wanted to purchase a car .It's called www.BuyYourCar.co.uk is a relatively new venture, only being 3 years old. It is very different to any other car portal in the UK. It focuses on all aspects of car purchase and research. Whilst other sites purely focus on Used Cars, New Cars or car leasing. BuyYourCar.co.uk has something unique to offer, via this uniqueness they stolen a march on their competition. The uniqueness in BuyYourCar.co.uk is that it allows consumers to search and inquire on New Cars, Used Cars, Car Leasing, Contract Hire and Van Leasing and even compare offers across all of these purchase routes. BuyYourCar.co.uk even supplies independent Car Reviews and links to competitive loans and insurance. Ensuring they have something to offer to anyone who is looking to buy a car, new or used, lease or cash. Unique indeed and well worth a closer look.

I really felt so down today, Today i received a very shocking news to me and to all the brethren of Iglesia Ni Cristo All over the world, Our Executive Minister Brother Erano G. Manalo has passed away yesterday afternoon. But it was just this morning that they announced it on the national TV. This was the message that was aired this morning by Brother Bienvenido Santiago.

“Ikinalulungkot naming ipabatid sa buong Iglesia at sa buong sambayanan na ang tagapamahalang pangkalahatan ng Iglesia ni Cristo, ang kapatid na Eraño G. Manalo, ay pinagpahinga na ng Diyos. Pumanaw siya sa kanyang tahanan sa ganap na 3:53 kahapon Agosto 31, 2009, sa gulang na 84 taon

“Hinihiling namin na patnubayan ang buong Iglesia sa panahon ng matinding dalamhati (We request that the entire Church be guided during this time of severe grief),” Santiago said in a brief statement on television

Brother Erano Manalo died of cardiopulmonary arrest. This day was such sad day for me and my family.
