Rabbit Outlook for 2009

As what my Chinese zodiac says, i was born in the year of the rabbit. I could say, I am not really a believer when it comes to Horoscopes. I just find it fun reading such from time to time most especially if what it says are positive. And this one which I found over yahoo kind of put a smile on my face because it's inspiring in a way. Read on so you'll find out.

Rabbit Overview
The past year may have provided the Rabbit with many challenges and difficult situations, but this year will be a relief. The Rabbit has a very favorable outlook this year. Though it is not part of your usual plan, you may find that being assertive and bold will allow you to achieve unforeseen success. Your attraction to the finer life may lead you to living it. Personal relations are of great value to the Rabbit and will be emphasized throughout the year. Put your best foot forward in the year of the Ox and you will reap many benefits and rewards.

Rabbit Rating
67% (7 favorable and 5 neutral months)

Rabbit Career
This year is one of change. Though the Rabbit is not prone to taking risks, you may benefit greatly from taking bold new steps in finding the career you desire. Complacency in your current job could lead you to such actions. September and October are two months that are favorable for a change. You may want to seek a position that allows you to utilize your social skills and your abilities to relate to people on a personal level. Set your sights high and you will get what you want in this highly favorable year.

Rabbit Relationships
The Rabbit's family and friends will be a source of great pleasure for the you this year. They will offer support, encouragement and will be the wellspring for meaningful and enjoyable times. Personal relations are held in high regard and could be taken to a new level. Rabbits seeking new friends or romance should make an added effort to go out more and come in contact with others-you will be well rewarded for your efforts.

Rabbit Health
The Rabbit should not encounter any major health issues this year, but you may want to take precautions during certain times of the year. The Rabbit's sensitive constitution may leave you vulnerable to colds and flu during the winter months. You may want to get a flu shot during this time and make sure that you get plenty of rest to avoid any setbacks.

Rabbit Wealth
The Rabbit should enjoy a new level of wealth. If you are inspired to make a career change, this will prove to be a successful venture financially. You will be particularly pleased with some of your purchases this year, as many could relate to redecorating or changing the appeal of your home. Beware of any risky investments and continue to do the things that accumulate your level of savings.

Chic Spot's New Look

There was a time that i kept on looking on my three blogs over and over again. I was focusing my attention on the layouts which were beautifully and creatively made my dear blogging buddy Twinks. But after a while, i thought the color of this blog looks a little darker for me. Maybe because my other two blogs have lighter colors. So after a few days of contemplating, i've decided to give this blog another new look to make it brighter. And of course, who else would do it but Twinks. And so here it is - much lighter and much simplier. Nice, isn't it? Twinks did another good job. Thanks a lot, Sis. Keep up the good work. Mwahugs!


My Previous Layout. Bye bye! (",)

Pink Heart Tag: Listen To What My Heart Says

A very nice tag from a very nice friend whom I've only met here in the blogosphere but i feel like i've already known her for ages. No other than the lovely soon-to-be mom, Madz. Thank you for the thought again, Sistah! I appreciate it a lot. Mwahugs!

Please spend time to scroll down and take time to read every line, and ask God what does He want to tell you.


The 10 Commandments are not a multiple choice.

Your mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open..

One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.
You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself you lack the courage to start, you have already finished. One thing you can't recycle is wasted time. Ideas won't work unless ' You' do.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.


The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.



If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn't oversleep.

Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most importan.

The best vitamin for making friends..... B1.


The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what you might have been.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If if changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.


Friends are like balloons, once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems, that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we for get what's right or wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.



This is really nice - very touching and very heart-warming so i want to share this to my friends Twinks, Nancy, Michelle, Nova, Ate Norm, Lisa, Juliana, Mommy J, Mabelle, Prily, Jaja, and my niece Mawee.

Rustom is Dead!

The phrase exactly came from him. If you have seen the news lately, then i'll bet, you know who i am referring to - no less than Mr. Rustom Padilla - the Filipino actor who eventually came out of the closet and unleashed the real him. He calls himself "Bebe Gandanghari" now and his change of identity brought oohs and aahs not just in the entertainment world but the whole country as well, i believe so. I watched him being interviewed in this entertainment talk show last Sunday and i was really amused watching him all dolled up like a real woman. He was once considered as one among the many matinee idols to hit the silver screen and even married one of the hottest young stars but separated in the end.

Anyways, pictures below shows his before and after looks. So what can you say?

My Niece's Blog

She always watches me whenever i tinker my blog and she also reads my posts whenever she gets the chance. She finds it interesting so i told her to do her own. I've been telling her for weeks but she refused for the main reason that she's shy to do one. I continued to encourage her and it was only last week when she finally decided to start and that's it. She's only 13 and she will not be allowed to do paid posts yet but this blog is for the purpose of expressing herself more, improve her writing skills and develop her self-esteem as well. She is a shy girl and she needs a little bit of exposure. So now that she has her blog "A Day in the Life of Mawee," which i provided the title myself, i know she will greatly improve in those aspects that i've just mentioned. Feel free to check her blog if you've got the chance guys. (",)

How To Tame Your Baby Hair

To tame wild strands that keep getting in the way of an otherwise polished 'do, apply a small amount of gel or serum onto it. Then, comb and pin strand in place with a small clip and gently blast it with a dryer. Finish by removing the clips, going over your mane again with a fine comb, and applying a small amount of hair spray. No blow dryer? Just rub a pea-sized amount of wax onto your fingertips and apply it directly onto strands.

That easy!

Blog Advertising and More

It was in December of 2007 when my friend introduced me into the world of blogging. It has been a year since then and I enjoyed everything in it tremendously for many reasons. I’ve gained friends, I’ve learned a lot and to top it all, I’m earning while doing so, not to mention, at the comfort of my own home and at my desired pace. I’ve always been open to opportunities so when my friend asked me if I wanted to earn, I had no second thoughts then and I grabbed the opportunity right away. I couldn’t thank my friend enough for putting me where I am now. Blogging has been a great help to me, financially wise. Being a single mom, I need to earn an extra income for the future of my five-year-old son.

I started getting paid posts after only a month of blogging, and that is when I came to realize the benefits of blog advertising which most of the advertisers prefer to sell their products and or services. Well, come to think of it, with the internet reaching almost every household in any part of the world, it is perhaps the best thing to consider in marketing your products and services since a lot of people nowadays prefer shopping online because of the convenience it brings. Also, people would oftentimes prefer to search for information on the internet for the fact that every single thing that they wanted to know is already right in there. Advertising on blogs connects advertisers to bloggers through an advertising network like PayingPost.com – a newly opened network which became popular instantly. Their new layout was designed for a much easier navigation and access.

Do all these sound interesting to you? If so, then why don’t you try blogging yourself? Remember you will not only enjoy it but you will also get paid while doing it.

Twilight

It was shown December last year and i thought i will be shown until this month but much to my dismay, it ended after three weeks of showing. And you bet, i wasn't able to watch it. I still haven't seen it on DVD up to now too. It would have been great to see it on screen. Oh well, i know it's too late to fret now.

Anyways, here's a text message that has been roaming around which made me wanted to see the movie more. Read on...

Just a few reasons why a lot of girls love Edward Anthony Masen Cullen of Twilight...
- A normal guy would say: "I love you, baby!"
- Edward would say: "You are my life now."

- As you leave the house, a normal guy would say: "Bye, see yeah!"
- Edward would say: "Hurry back to me."

-While you're gone far away, a normal guy would say: "I miss you."
-Edward would say: "It's like you've taken half myself with you."

One more thing, how i wish normal people have a heart that Vampires do. Once they fall in love...they never fall out of love...

So sweet, isn't it? (",)

Nikko's Personalized Christening Giveaways

As early as October, my Sister and I were already checking the malls for giveaways. We were eyeing on these small Spongebob stuffed toys for the visitors (Spongebob was the chosen Christening theme) and much bigger ones for the sponsors. But it was in mid-November, i think, when blogger Lalaine told me about her personalized chocolate bar giveaways. I told my Sister about it and she instantly liked the photos that Lalaine sent showing her products which consist of chocolate bars and chocolate kisses. After which, my Sister ordered and here are the finished products.

These plastic feeding bottles which were filled with white and brown chocolate kisses were exclusively for the Sponsors. White for the female sponsors and brown for the male sponsors.

And these chocolate bars were for the visitors who graced the occasion and became part of Nikko's special day.

Read more about Nikko's Christening here and see his Cake here.

So aren't the giveaways awesome? If you find these personalized giveaways nice and would like to have one for any occasion that you will have in the future, then feel free to drop me a line here and i will get back to you as soon as i can. (",)
