We were cruising along Ortigas trying to find a polaris ranger parts when we found ourselves in Home Depot instead. We went inside to check some stuff for the house and found this nice low double deck bed frame for the kids.
Together with this 4-drawer cabinet which were at 20% discount.
Though the kids still co-sleep with us (and we are keeping that system until they still like it to be that way), we decided to get the beds because we are re-decorating their room. We also got them a new study table so we can actually train them to have a good study habits. I will take photos of their new room once installed.

So it’s officially September! One month from now will be the Halloween Season and then there’s the much-awaited Christmas Season. Oh, this reminds me that I have not finished my long list for christmas shopping. I can’t believe that 2012 is just about 4 months from now. After New Year, here Valentine’s Day 2012 will be the next Season. Wow! Time flies really fast! There are just so many happenings coming from one season to another. I need to keep up with the photo books I am making as I still have a number of backlogs to work on. So good luck to me

I wonder if it’s true that iPhone5 will be released before the year ends. In fact, in most Apple Forums, there’s a big rumor that it will be launched by next month, September. Based on what I read, pre-orders will be taken starting September 30 and the official launch will be on October 7. I’m sure it will be a big hit again. Of course, I am considering again to own one. I’m a certified Apple user and I love all my Apple gadgets. So now, I will defer first buying a new iphone case for my iPhone4 cause who knows I might be able to get an iPhone 5 as well before the year ends! That would be wonderful, isn’t?

We completed the Smurf toys through McDonald’s Happy Meal in one dining. Glad it was available in McDonald’s Katipunan so I ordered 8 meals at the same time. The toys are so cute. Of course, the girls are giddy happy for their new small blue men.
On the other note, I was impressed with the gift baskets I saw online when I was browsing using my iPad, while I was waiting for the girls as they were playing in the play area of McDonalds. Oh how I love the gourmet gift boxes. It could be a perfect gift for Christmas to suppliers friends. I wonder if I can get it locally. The rates are very economical too and the packing/presentation is superb. I should start looking for a supplier of those here in my area.

I am so inspired to do more photo books and finish the rest of my back logs especially on travel photos when my new set of books arrived today. I am actually waiting for 7 more! You can see in my checkout page here.
Oh yes, I am addicted to Artscow. It’s as easy as dragging and dropping the pictures to their sample templates. So easy to do plus everything is online. I can even pay using my paypal account. They don’t need a barcode scanner anymore. It so convenient to keep memories this time. Thank you to my online friends who inspired me to do this too. I want to have a library of my photo books!

Waah! It’s so scary if I would ever look like the one on top picture! This was from the Fat Kiosk application for iPhone. I am really praying I won’t even have to be as big as this. I think it is really time to watch on my diet. Otherwise, I need to seriously consider getting a life insurance from www.cometobarter.com to secure everything for my family. I have to look back all the time to this picture whenever I am tempted to eat a lot.

It’s just 4 months before the season so it’s time to make a long list for Christmas. I have finished some of my list as I mentioned previously that I am starting to work on it already. Now, I am working on the list of family and friends who i wish to send out Christmas Cards. There are beautiful season cards from Paper Culture online. Oh, I can even have a customized design with our family picture as the cover. I’m sure our families and friends abroad will love it. I better set a schedule so we can go have a nice family picture.

With the rising cost of gas prices, most shoppers are now trying an easy and convenient way to shop and that is through online shopping. A few years ago this concept was not well received by computer users because of privacy issues but with the latest upgrades ensuring customers that their personal information are safe and secured, it has become a growing trend not just in the US but in other countries as well.
Online shopping is ideal for individuals with a busy work and lifestyle. If you are someone who can’t find the time to hit the mall or grocery for a few items, you can easily get everything you need with just a few mouse clicks. It also saves you from wasting time in long lines and traffic especially during the busy Holidays season. Now finding a gift could be relatively easy as websites have different product categories to make the search stress free.
Another perks of online shopping is that it provides you the opportunity to compare prices from different websites in order to get the best deals. With traditional shopping you’re only provided with limited selection but online stores carry a wide variety of choices. These are just some of the reasons why online shopping is becoming a trend among smart shoppers who wish to save on money and energy.

Sorry but I am a sucker for coupon deals and this new iphone case is also a deal I got from Cash Cash Pinoy. As you know, original iPhone4 cases are actually expensive. The cheapest I found in the market is I think at Php 850. That is not even of a good quality. Glad, one of the groupon deals like Cash Cash Pinoy recently released this great deal for iPhone case. I only got the case below for Php450 inclusive of delivery of the item right to my own doorstep. Fantastic deal right? I love the color. I should have bought the pink one too.
It’s so thin and light weight and comes with a screen protector too

Our December travel vacation is fast approaching and i am making a number of lists already. One, I need to make a new list again of all the godchildren my husband and I have. I need to start shopping for them since we will be gone for the season. Oh yeah, I am a good godmother who never fails to give gifts for my godchildren during Christmas. Second, I also need to make a list of things I would need to get in outlets and stores in US. To say that I am excited is actually an understatement! (lol!). The only concern now is how to save enough so I could do a shopping splurge while we are there. Topping my list is actually to look for some nice and cute Childrens Bedding. We are rearranging the kids room so they can start sleeping on their own room by next year. I also need to get some pretty lamps and accessories to complement a girly room. Aside from that, I am also thinking to get some decal stickers which we can use to aesthetically decorate the walls of the room. On the other hand, I am also looking forward in buying a new set of cookwares. I hope to find a good deal on a Calphalon set. I want to get the non-stick 14-pieces set. Gosh, but we need to travel all the way to Gilroy Premium Outlet just to buy it at a great price. I hope I can get to convince my husband to travel extra 4 hours for it. Hmm, I’m sure my list will be a lengthy one. I better finish it now.

It has been a buzz in Twitterlandia with my online friends for the past few weeks. All mommies are wanting to get hold of these cute animal bags for their sons and daughters. I wasn’t spared to the trend. I also indulge myself to buy for my two girls. It was hard to choose what design to get as I want to buy all of them. I asked each my girls to choose what they like and instantly Bianca said she likes the Penguin…
Margaux of course would choose something in pink, so I got the mouse for her…
Both bags are so cute. In fact, the other designs are lovely too.
Now, the husband complains that I always buy for the girls but I seldom do get something for him. Oh, he was just teasing because he actually just want me to get him new sport tees from coogi. Let me check the site and spoil my man this time

When it comes to summer fashion, the makeup you use can really seal the deal. It’s true that accessories like abazias jewelry are important to complete a look, but wearing bold makeup is just an important. This year’s makeup trends can range from natural to bold, but the bold looks are something very different this year. Instead of neutrals and common color palettes, eye makeup almost seems to emulate the wide-eyed innocence and colors of Japanese anime. The colors don’t even have to appear coordinated between lips and eyes to work this season. Here are some ideas for eye makeup to complement your fashion style.
Daring Eye Shadow Colors
You can spot red eye shadow this season – a new and exotic look – but, that’s just the start. Bright blues and yellows are also present this season. Electric greens and oranges will fire up your eyelids and make them glow, even in broad daylight. To get the anime look, you have to outline the eyes with black liner and use black eye-shadow as the frame on which your bold color sits. Since you’ll get a lot of attention, you’ll want your skin to be as finished as possible to avoid drawing attention to skin imperfections on your face with the bold makeup.
Bright Lip Colors
You might thing that red eye shadow goes with red lips, but you’d be wrong. You can use pink lip color with red eye shadow or vice-versa. If you want a bigger contrast, leave the lips bare or use a natural tone. Lip colors can even mimic the eye colors, like blue lipstick with electric blue eye shadow. However, don’t be afraid to use blue eye shadow with red lipstick. The key for this look is to have fun and let your cartoon character out. The look is sexy and child-like all at the same time, just like Japanese anime.

I have been hearing a lot of good reviews about Varekai, the Cirque de Soleil show in Manila. The show started last June 22 and will be until July 24 only. There are a lot of raves about the show that it has increased my interest to watch as well. We purposely didn’t buy the tickets at first since we originally didn’t want to watch at all. We are thinking to catch Cirque de Soleil in Las Vegas this December instead. But since I got this online flyer, I gave in and just bought our tickets for the July 20 show. Now, there’s an advantage in delaying the decision to buy. The 10% savings will be good enough for our food that night
So if you haven’t bought yet your tickets, here’s your last chance…

Lovely isn’t? I am already contemplating on how best to celebrate it. Either we go for a small party with family and friends or we travel in some romantic place. I am actually in favor of the vacation instead. I have a number of places in mind already but I have yet to seek approval of the husband. Topping my list is of course a Europe Trip. I would love to go to 4 key cities only. 2nd on my list is a romantic place like a beach island. Hawaii, Caribbean, Bahamas or Maldives. One friend of mine recommended Malibu in California. I never thought it could be a good one. I know the place to be popular as
