A true fan..

The husband has really been a basketball fan since he was a kid. In fact, until now, there’s no day that has passed without him checking out NBA either on TV or the internet. Of course, he was sharing to me the news that Lebron James is actually moving to Miami Heat. He wasn’t happy with that decision since he was hoping that Lebron will pick out New York among his offers. But he was excited to tell me about the improved fashion of his favorite basketball stars. We are both wondering if parish clothing of Jimmy Jazz has something to do with that, since most of them wore rocker hoodies, printed tees, jeans that exudes hip-hop during the basketball draft. Yes, he is also concerned about images of these NBA basketball stars. Definitely, a true fan!

This weekend…

will be the arrival of our “new baby.” Before I even post the nice stuff I got from the recent US trip, let me complete first all the documents that I need to sign to finalize the details of its arrival, otherwise, the husband would not be happy when he gets back tonight and all documents are not yet fixed. Good thing, I already checked as well about wholesaleinsurance.net so we are now good to sign the policies. Husband is so excited for it. I can tell. He’s happier for it rather than the “gift” he got me on my birthday! lol!

An SUV?

There is a thought of getting a new car. Thinking to upgrade now to a bigger SUV. The husband and I are still under debate.  One consideration would be an American SUV.  It is a well known fact that Ford has been producing top-quality vehicles over the past years. We are trimming down our options to few brands and model and a Ford Explorer is one of them. I just wonder if the Ford Accessories would be widely available here even outside the regular service centers. I’m kinda hesitant initially about it. But the husband said that most of the parts now can even be ordered online. He discovered that shopping for accessories and parts are now made easy by CARid. The company accepts all forms of payment.  It can be via credit card (visa or mastercard), google checkout, even Pay pal, they do accept.  Also, based on reviews and testimonials of clients, their staff are known to be knowledgeable of all their products.  In fact, their website is even easy to navigate.  Placing an order is easy since you can search by vehicle, by model or by product you are looking for.  They have multiple warehouses as well so they carry even those hard to find parts.  Even car upgrades or aesthetic parts that can make a Ford car look fuller are now available since it is one stop shop. From dash kits, to chromes, to grills and spoilers, they do have those available.  They even have price match and easy return policy.  With this consideration, we are also now open on the option of getting a Ford SUV.  We haven’t come with the final decision yet since we also need to work on our budget.   But a new vehicle would be a major investment so we really have to review our options carefully.

Funny Billboard!

EOBillboard

While traveling along EDSA this morning, I saw this very funny billboard of a hot Brazilian model (who could probably have used an enzyte) while doing this shoot. I almost have to look back what does the picture mean. The RUBY became RUDY! I was laughing inside the car by myself after figuring it out. Poor guy!  lol!  The message was sent across.  How important it is to have clear vision!  Imagine having that big tattoo of a name of a male person at the back of a hot guy?!  lol!

Gearing up for the trip

With just a little over a month before our trip to the US, i am all geared up for it. Already thinking to get additional memory for our digital cameras (both for our Sony Cyber Shot point and shoot and our Nikon D60). I am pretty sure we need those extra memory and even extra batteries to keep taking shots of our good times there.  I am checking already some digital camera and accessories buying guide online.  The husband is even planning to get a new lens for his Nikon DLSR.  I wonder if it is cheaper to get there instead.  I’ve got to ask feedback from my photographer’s friends.

Hooked in the game…

When you are actually stucked in the house since the weather is not at all cooperating for you to go out, its time to just check what you can do online. A new DOTA-clone game called heroes of newerth is in beta. I found the husband playing it since this morning. I wonder what’s keeping him busy only to find out that he was also actively participating on the forum about the said game. He said its pretty amusing so he got himself hooked as well. While he’s doing it, I need to sort out some more clothes and stuff in the house which we can give to victims of the flood.

Talk about cars…

My husband has been talking non-stop recently about cars, new vehicles particularly SUVs! ;) While me, on the other hand, talk non-stop about bags, more bags! :P lol! But seriously, he was even checking out latest releases from abroad, even those car leasing sites from US and UK. He’s obssessed with SUVs, giving him sleepless nights while me on the other hand has been getting eyebugs already thinking about the balenciaga bag of Kelly! :P :D Anyway, the bag is another story. But the husband even told me about BuyYourCar.co.uk. The site that offers a great way to own a car whether you just lease or own new and used cars. They have links to competitive loans and even have independent Car Reviews. Now, he’s wishing there is something like this in the country.

His Gift…

As i have posted before, the husband only wants a 4×4 RC  as his birthday gift.  So his wish is my command, I got him a big 4×4 truck last thursday.  He can’t wait till saturday to open it so he already did last friday even before going to work.  And mind you, he even played for like 15minutes in our lawn area while the kids were chasing it.  This is his new toy…

Still not into it!

Have you heard in the news last night about this new invention on electric cigarette? Amazing huh! Although I am still not into it but I just find it interesting and could be a good option for those who are having a hard time quitting this habit. Well, based on the information in the news, this kind of device is non-flammable but gives someone an actual smoking experience without any intake of any toxins. Sounds interesting? Yes, it even passed CE and ROHS certifications, making it a safe cigarette that still retains the cigarette taste. Using this can actually make one save a lot in terms of cost and also still keep you healthy, Hmm, I really hope so! Though, I think, I’m still not into it.

The new purchase…

Not, it’s not another bag, lol!  But it is just for the husband.  He was very happy for this early christmas present which he chose himself!

The Nikon D60!

 I look forward to his great photos, with me and the kids as his favorite subjects!

Just a token for the husband…

I was in Shangrila-Mall today from a meeting and thought of buying something for the dear husband.

Got him these…


2 Lacoste Shirts (1 polo shirt and 1 short sleeves polo)

I had those put in a box and wrote in the cards…


“Because you are a VIP (a very important person) to us, a simple gift for you!”

“Really appreciate all your efforts in providing a happy life for our family.”

Ok, fine.  I am trying to be mushy here.  Anyway, one of the truths of the matter is that Lacoste is on sale!  So that’s one of the reasons why I also bought two pieces!  (lol!)  

But nevertheless, it is sometimes nice to give something unexpectedly, just a token of appreciation to the person you always choose to love!  (naks!)

For the husband…

Don’t get me wrong, I got some things for the husband too.  Got him this…

A travel bag with wheels for his golf bag.  (his golf bag is inside)

and this…

Air Climber (its at Php8K in home TV shopping, got it almost half)

He’s just happy to be part of my online earnings!  No complaints!  (dapat lang no!)

Is this a legal car shopping?

Are you watching the latest news about the controversies re the imported cars in Subic? These vehicles were actually shipped here in the country from abroad. This is exactly what you call as auto transport. The cars, or mostly SUVs that were transported are mostly luxury cars. And according to news, these are traded in real steal prices. So a lot of people are actually enticed to buy one, or literally car shopping in the said area. 

Auto Transport is actually about relocating a vehicle. Car Movers is one of the companies that do car shipping for a fee. They are the appropriate company to check if you are looking to ship your vehicle. Car Movers for example do have state of the art carriers capable of shipping many vehicles at once, safely and quickly. So this is the company that most rich and famous use to transport their sports or luxury cars.
