Passport

My passport is one of the most important possessions that I have knowing that I am not a citizen in this country just yet. I am a permanent resident who is actually waiting for my green card which will be good for ten years. But, I will be a citizen before ten years will come. I learned that after my 3rd year as a permanent resident I can already apply for citizenship. Technically, in September will be my 3rd year here being married to a citizen so I am looking into becoming one sooner or later.

Needs New Shoes

It’s only July and hubby’s dress shoes I gifted him last Christmas need a replacement already. My golly, I thought those will last a year. It’s less than a year obviously and already damaged two pairs of dress shoes from really well-known brands. I got him a really nice looking pair from Florsheim and the soles got holes now. They are still in good shape and the leather shine really well though except for the sole that is.

I guess the sole's material is not made for walking and for a rugged surface. Those must be ideal for office use only. So, the hubby is asking me to order another one online that he could use for his formal wear or for giving golf lessons and he could send the old pair to be fixed somewhere else since only the soles are really worn out. Can someone tell me which men’s shoe brand really speaks durability for the price?

I Need a New Computer Desk

I spend a lot of time in front of the computer everyday. It has become my favorite spot since after getting married. LOL! While attending to my son, it’s the place where I can give myself an alone time. I am actually thinking about getting one of the latest computer desks these days so I can finish more work. This one I am using right now is a bit small and crowded. I need more space that is!

Mesothelioma Help

Are you suffering from mesothelioma? If so, you should get some help. Mesothelioma Help at mesotheliomahelp.net is a good resource for this kind of illness.

It should walk you through understanding and giving you idea on a proper direction about this type of cancer that it brought by being exposed to asbestos.

What the Heck is Wrong with WP?

I was trying to post something on my WP blog that requires a third party tag but some thing's wrong. Grrr! I've been working on it trying to figure out what the heck was wrong but doesn't seem to work at all. It's taking my time and I don't have all night! this is frustrating. I will have to try it up here instead and find out if the same problem will occur. I hope not.

Must-Have: Bob Stroller

From time to time, I take my son out for a stroll and even walk for more than an hour to where his dad is working. That happens when I get really tired of the usual thing we do and see. I don’t really mind walking that far but I am just complaining when it comes to the stroller that my son has.

It’s not very convenient for long walks or jogging because of the small wheels. It would have been more fun to go outdoors if we bought the Bob stroller which is ideal for that activity. I would be inspired to go out which my son loves. I have to check this stroller out. Perhaps we could get it before he is too big for a stroller. LOL!

Summer Vacation Luxury Homes

How I wish we could take a summer vacation. It’s just not going to happen. Our business is open on a warmer season so we can only look into winter getaways. Someday somehow we might, but that’s really impossible for now. I would recommend Winter Park real estate should you wish to get a vacation home for that matter. If you love mountain biking and hiking they can definitely give you the location of your dreams at Reserve Lakota.

On Presents and Kindness

I finally ordered a couple of birthday presents for that someone in the family. They will be a little late but that’s better than nothing. LOL! Now, a dear friend’s birthday is coming up and I have yet to check her wish list too so I know what she wants. She’s a generous person and I can’t forget getting her something as she had given me a present as well on my birthday last month. It’s just about giving in return the kindness. I feel good about that.

Phentermine is Here

I just found out that Phentermine is a prescription diet pill and is said to be the most sought after these days. I don’t think I would need one soon though. I am just curious what this medicine is all about after seeing this name many times on my other blog’s spam comments. Now I know what it is with the help of consumerpricewatch.net.

Elegant Cufflinks

We’re supposed to be doing some grocery shopping today but the boy and the dad are napping late. So, I will have to wait until they are both up. I am actually hungry and had only crackers and cheese to bite for lunch. I will definitely be eating before going to the store so I won’t end up putting junk on the shopping cart. Hehehe. But before that, I will have to checkout some gold cufflinks that the hubby might be interested in. They look elegant, aren't they?

Happy Birthday not to Me

Today is someone’s birthday in the family. I must admit I haven’t purchased anything yet. I will surely do it after this writing as I will be checking the wish list provided. I was actually thinking about it a week ago, but I thought there would be some new stuff added only to find out there’s none so I better of getting what’s been there since. This person loves cooking but I only see books and DVD’s on the list and some cooking pots and pans that might be out of our budget range for gifts. LOL! I have to get some help from the financier though before making a decision. He’s napping right now. So, off the birthday present --- late.

WarGames: Back In Theaters

Sometimes when I see an old movie on television, I just can’t ignore it especially when it’s one of my favorites. I bet a lot of people have the same experience. You never get tired of a certain movie and the interest just kicks back when you can’t simply flashback what happened. You can’t let it pass but watch it again and find it out for yourself. If I have to name a certain movie that I can’t forget from the 80’s it would be An Officer and a Gentleman with Richard Gere.

I was born in 1982 when this movie came out and saw this couple of years ago and actually loved the story. Well, it has won 2 Oscars and another 6 wins & 13 nominations which this movie definitely deserved. I like the movie even if it was dated on my birth year. Who would have thought I would when most people prefer the greatest and the latest. Old movies are still great as long as you get the right ones.

Did you know that the WarGames is going to be played on its 25th Anniversary nationwide? On Thursday, the 24th of July this film will be showing for a night only which makes it really interesting because it will show interviews of the people behind the film like the creators and the cast. These were never seen before. Do you remember Broderick and Ally Sheedy? Of course, they are in the film. If you are interested to find out what’s coming ahead on its sequel, a sneak peak will be available as well for WarGames: The Dead Code this time.

Another Lens Coming

I finally decided to get the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens with the 52mm Haze UV filter from Adorama after comparing with B&H. I don’t know why there’s a difference between the two when both are US made. Adorama has a cheaper shipping fee which is $5 to be the least while the other store I would have paid $8-$10 depending on the size or weight perhaps. My haul should be here next week. My, this craze is unstoppable. I’m only a beginner in photography and yet I wanted to buy more accessories.

This is the most I’ve spent on something I really wanted. I got a Canon lens cleaning kit too from eBay with free shipping for only $4.99 compared to one of the online stores which I would have to pay $10.90 including shipping. I feel good about saving a bit in site spending on some things that are unnecessary. LOL! It’s good to compare prices you know when you have the chance you should do it. You never know how much you can actually save.

Zenni Optical was on FOX news!

When hubby loses his glasses, he finds someone else’s. He doesn’t mind using them though only for reading. He even finds some that are better than what he lost. LOL! Anyway, I think I will get him a new pair that is fashionable and designed with durability. I heard that ZenniOptical.com has a great selection of prescription glasses and it’s the best place online to get them. I am definitely checking this website out. They have glasses that have the most unbeatable prices from $8. How cool is that!? Did you know know about Zenni on Fox?

Little Tikes Endless Adventures EasyStore Jr. Play Table

Most experts say at 18 months, a child may be introduced to crayons and coloring books. Well, I would agree but kids are not all the same. Some may not think of a crayon or a coloring pen as a food anymore since they are past the stage in which they put anything in their mouths, our son still has the tendency to eat a crayon.

Anyway, we would love to be keeping on the right track when it comes to our child’s development, but I believe everything comes at a right time. Oh well. This little table might be a good inspiration. This would make a nice haven for his artistic ability come when he is ready for it. It should be a nice place for him to eat his meals, too.

Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni Optical

My husband wears glasses and has had a lot of them. He lost so many and found a few --- not his own sometimes. He doesn’t really mind wearing a found glasses knowing that they belong to who knows.

Whether single vision lens, sunsensor lens, tinted sunglasses lens, and many more it’s the ultimate place to get them online.

Toilet Training in Less Than A Day

I’ve been meaning to start potty training my 18 month old son as soon as he reached that age, but I can’t seem to get started. I guess he is not ready. I haven’t attempted just yet, but it can wait. After all, it’s not like he’s going to college pretty soon. LOL! I’m still in search of the prefect potty for him that will somehow motivate or make him learn the natural way if there is one.

I have to do some readings about it as well so I know I am doing the right thing. Anyway, it’s not going to work like magic at all so only time can tell when a child really is ready and able. No rush. So for parents out there who are in the same shoe, this book might help. I am just about to get one. Wel'' see how this is going to work and then from there I can review it.

Career: Sales Jobs

Since graduating from college, I have always wanted to get my first job. Until I got married my chances are getting thinner. LOL! I really wanted to try working as if motherhood isn’t enough work. Well, I want to see life in a different perspective other than taking care of family. Time comes; I would love to venture in to the world of getting a career, perhaps checking in particular on sales jobs if I don’t really get one in line with my degree. Oh well.

Medicare Supplement

After hubby got sick of pneumonia, he decided it’s about time to apply for Medicare. He chose not to get a health insurance due to his age which can cost us a lot of money. I and my son have health insurance which he thinks is better for us. With that alone, we have to pay every month and could become a burden if it were the 3 of us somehow. He thinks taking advantage of this privilege is just right so he can get a medicare supplement as well.

Fire Engine Toddler Bed

I had setup a fire engine bed yesterday after taking a crib apart for my son. It was rather time-consuming but worth all the time. We are lucky that in my hubby’s family, we get hand me downs when it comes to our son’s clothing and baby stuff even before he was born. Until now, we get new bags of used clothes and toys. The fire engine bed is the biggest so far second to the crib but the crib was harder to setup since I had to do it by myself. I tend not to wait for any help. That’s me. I get too anxious when it comes to putting things together. Anyway, this fire engine bed sure saves us a lot of money. And for the price, I am thankful enough we didn’t have to buy it ourselves.

Product Features

* Molded plastic fire engine toddler bed
* Holds standard crib mattress (sold separately)
* Working night-light
* Includes mattress support
* Minimal adult assembly required

Meet Her Victory Hair

Are you a certified flirt? A normal person does flirt. In one way or another, someone takes a simple if not desperate measure to get noticed by the person they love or like. I have a story to share. Not mine, but of someone I know. This girl is working in an internet café and on her free time she goes online on a dating site checking if she got contacts from her dream guy. She met someone from the US. Not in person just yet and perhaps never will.

She fell in love with him. Little does she know another guy from Canada she met in person is eyeing on her exotic beauty. She has this long black shiny hair that captivated him. Instead of waiting for this online date to see her in person, this other guy present at the moment changed her mind and everything that goes around it. She decided he is the one. This caring, generous soul in the person of this stranger won her heart swiftly.

And now they’re engaged. Well, this is a story of my own cousin. She definitely achieved Victory Hair. She used to say it’s taking so long to find the right guy she had to look through the internet wishing for someone from thousands of miles away to notice her. And there comes his prince charming, which was pursuing a neighbor and noticed her instead. Oh well, sad for the other characters of the story (the neighbor who apparently has a local boyfriend and the other guy with whom she really loves) but something’s telling her she has to seize the ‘now’ for some personal reasons. I just hope and wish for the best of them.

What could be in her that made her mama proud? Is it the hair? Probably it is. I would guess it’s the Extreme Style by VO5. She had been using this hair care product for quite sometime already. Since learning the use of the Internet, she learned that there is this game online in which you can play called Ultimate Flirting Championship. It’s an interactive game where you will be judged on how flirtatious you are. You could chat with the other person too that is taking the challenge. Would you try it? I suggest you better do in order to achieve the Victory Hair you’ve been dreaming of. She just did.

Material World

I was just ranting and raving on my other blog how people in this country acquire stuff and even want more when most of the time they find it hard to get rid of them sometime in their life. I can see why my husband doesn’t appreciate those who are very materialistic. Some of the rich people in this country do have too much of everything they can afford. In reality, it takes a toll on them. They can become slaves to their own possessions. They sure do have to work even harder just to keep up with their lifestyles. Oh well.

Worst Pick-up Line

Sometime in a woman’s life, a man will try to pursue her with pick-up lines that suck. Not just from strangers or someone they personally know. How about a friend? When it’s your good old friend? The worst pick-up line I have heard from this person was, “I know you love me. I can tell by the way you wave your hands at me when you say, hi. Will you say it to me?” What!? So I answered, “I know you’re a friend. A good one indeed but waving at you doesn’t mean anything than just plain ‘hello’ and ‘how are you’. I love my friends but you sound really strange right now.

That was definitely a hair-raising moment! Thank goodness he’s happily married right now and has two kids. That experience deprived me from achieving a “Victory Hair” for a bit. Well, what does that mean anyway? Victory Hair is when you really worked hard on keeping your hair fresh looking and sexy in style, and then someone you like or have a big crush on notices you and the rest of the mystery is history. BAMMM! You’re crowning glory needs the brush once again. If you want to get tips on flirting with the help of your beautiful hair, you should play the Ultimate Flirting Championship game at Extreme Style by VO5.

Got It!

I got my macro lens yesterday. I got too anxious so I decided to take test shots out of the box. I hope to get out of the house today so I can practice and get some little creatures out there to scare. LOL! Well, this Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM is kind of heavy so I will try to bring my tripod as well.
