Music Monday: Hero by Enrique Iglesias

The United States of America is celebrating Memorial Day today in honor of those who made an ultimate sacrifice for their country. Their heroes. I can't find a song that would fit best today's event, but I think this will do since it's also about being a hero. This is one of my faves by Enrique.

Happy Music Monday and HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

A Classy Invite

I really liked how the invitation was made for our neighbor’s youngest son’s birthday. It was very colorful and was made out of a very nice stationery. I actually thought our neighbor ordered it somewhere, but nah. She made it herself. She just bought a kit that had the Stationery and envelops and did the rest herself.

She got ideas for the design and message online and she just added some personal touches and bingo, done oh! It looked like it was done by a pro! She actually gave me an idea. I will probably make the invitations for my son’s birthday next year. Cool!

Hello? Anybody Home?

After using it for over four years, the husband’s cordless telephone in the bedroom finally died on him. It died last weekend, but it was only last night that he was able to replace it with his newly-bought uniden cordless phone because it was only yesterday that he was able to drop by the store to buy the unit.

Now we are enjoying our new cordless phone in the bedroom and I don’t have to run to the living room whenever he calls me in the morning. I had been doing that since last weekend because I am always in the bedroom playing on our PC. (“,)

Harley Davidson Motorcycle

Seeing this motorcycle whenever we're out on the highway is something unusual for me. I don't see them back in my home country that much, but here in the U.S., they were all over the highway. They started sprouting as soon as spring started and it was one thing that really fascinated me, and I really like listening to the sound its engine is making. What a roar!!!

I've been trying to capture them on the highway, but I never got to get a perfect shot like this one here. This was taken in Kentucky when we had our road trip last weekend. We stopped by to fill the car with gas and the owner of the Harley was filling his motorbike with gas too. I made sure that he wasn't looking when I took this photo though. (",)

Awesome ride!!!

Save Money While Saving Your Teeth

It can be hard to look for a dentist that is not only giving excellent service but affordable treatments as well. With the hard times that we have at present, saving as much as we can without having to get poor treatment in return for saving money is something that I aspire to and I think I am not the only one with that perspective.

You would be lucky if you are in Vallejo because a top Vallejo Dentist who provides excellent services is just around the corner. I am not and that is why I am still searching for one. But I am hoping for the best.

He Gave the Deck a Bath

How do you clean your decks? Us? We do it with the use of pressure washers. The husband has two and though I haven’t tried doing the work yet because the husband always insists of doing it himself, I can say just by looking at it that it is certainly a simple job to do.

The husband was done in a jiffy when he cleaned both the front and back decks yesterday. It’s not been long since he started using them, though, but we’re glad for these magnificent tools.

Bling On My Finger

I am so into accessories or bling-blings, and knowing that the latest fad is wearing oversized rings, I decided to get myself one to match my cocktail dress. I did mention about us attending a gala night soon, right? So, here's my ring to complete my look. Simply perfect for my black and white dress.

Nice bling, huh?

Time to Get Busy, Honey!

I stopped telling the husband to continue with the house renovation that he started late last year. And that is because I totally understand that his time is limited, not allowing him to spend the time needed to do the job right. He can’t even finish the spring cleaning because the weather has not been so good and when it is good, something else comes up, like we are invited to a party or gathering somewhere.

But whenever I see photos of newly-renovated homes like remodeling Chicago that I saw online, it gives me this urge to tell him to get started again. Well, I think it will not hurt to remind him not to forget our plans.

Don’t Gain Now and Try to Lose Later

Less than a month more to go and we will be attending a gala night at my university‘s reunion. My dress is ready as well as my husband’s and my son’s suits. As soon as we were informed about the event, I made sure I would not gain weight because I didn’t want to have problems with the fit of my new dress.

I know I can always get me a pill from www.weightlosspillsthatwork.net just in case, but I am afraid I wouldn’t have enough time. So with my determination and goal to stay sexy, I’ve been able to achieve it, so far. Good girl, huh? Teehee.

My Pedicure Kit

I had my first pedi spa here in the U.S. in March and it really was expensive that the price is almost that of a dress. But I can say, it was worth it because the spa felt so relaxing and the lady who had done my pedicure did a good job. Back home, I normally had my pedicure every two weeks, but even though I can afford it here, still I think that I would rather buy a dress than have a pedi.

I mentioned it to the husband and he said we'll find a pedicure set soon enough. I think I told him about it a week before Mother's Day. Little did I know, he's got something on his mind again, and yes, it was one of the many surprises that he had given me on Mother's Day.

Here it is...my pedi kit.

I just love the kit because every single thing that I need for my pedi is in there.

Good job, Honey! (",)

He Has Miles and Smiles to Go

Our road trip yesterday took us about twelve hours all in all on the road. I was dead tired when we got home even though I was only sitting and I was really surprised to see the husband still fully energized. He was the one who drove us all throughout the day. He did complain about his legs that needed some stretching, but that was it.

That was our first road trip ever and I never really expected that. Now I’m fully aware that my husband is always good-to-go, ready to rumble and doesn’t need hemo rage black to keep him that way. Maybe in the future. I salute you, Honey! You’re certainly one of a kind. (“,)

Use Your PC as a Movie Ticket

There you will be enlightened on a site that is legal, safe and virus-free. He surely recommends a site where to watch movies best so you will have a great time watching and not worry about anything. Happy movie watching!

Music Monday: Home by Daughtry

We had our first road trip ever yesterday and though it was tiring, we all had a blast. The husband had this goal of fulfilling a mission and that was visiting the place where his great great grandfather once lived. It was in the middle of nowhere, but our way there was such an adventure because we discovered the beauty of the country that was hidden from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a great journey, but I was looking forward to get back home and rest my butt as well as stretch my feet. LOL.

The Fresher, the Better

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TwoOfUs. All opinions are 100% mine.

For some, it is destiny when two people meet. For some, it is a choice that we make. For me, it was a combination of both. Destiny puts two people together, but it is up to the two individuals if they choose to be together or not. Do you agree? Whatever the case or however we analyze it, a relationship is a mutual understanding between two individuals who are mutually in love.

But I believe love is not the only thing needed for a successful relationship. Two individuals with different characteristics require not just love, but understanding and respect because without it, a relationship is doomed to be a failure.

Are you in a relationship now? Do you have questions in your mind that you need answers to? I recommend that you take a look at twoofus.org. The site offers tips on keeping your relationship fresh and more. There is also a video about the actor Hill Harper on the site. He gives ideas and advice on relationships which is a must-see. I definitely learned from what he said and I bet you will too.

And lastly, if you want to be updated about the site‘s tips and other ideas about relationships, like it on Facebook. I already did and now it is your turn.

Hollister Tees for Him and Her

I knew the husband would get us (my son and I) something for Easter so, I made sure that he will get one too. I got him this Hollister tee that I bought online, and though it arrived a bit late after Easter, the important thing was, it is better late than never. (",)

Its color is navy blue and he liked it a lot. He haven't worn it yet though. Maybe on our upcoming trip, he will. I found one that I liked too, so I got it. I just hope we will not be wearing the shirts at the same time or we will look like we are endorsing it. LOL.

Our tees!

Bring on the Heat

I’ve talked about getting a set of patio furniture for our back deck before and now that we got it, I figured that we need one more thing to fully enjoy spring and summer. Guess what it is? A fire pit!

Don’t you think it would be awesome to feel its heat on cool evenings while we are waiting for our steaks, burgers or hotdogs to get cooked on the grill? I know the husband will certainly love the idea because he has always loved the outdoors. I can’t wait to shop for one!

Music Monday: She's Like the Wind by Patrick Swayze

This song not only reminds me of the movie "Dirty Dancing" but also of the one of the best actors of all time, Patrick Swayze. I was so sad to hear about his passing, but nevertheless, he will be remembered forever. On the lighter note, I so love this song and it's on the list of my all time favorites.

Happy Music Monday y'all! Have a fruitful week ahead! (",)

Wishing and Hoping

Dreams are for free; that is why I never stop dreaming about my dream house. To give you an idea, it would be something like those Homes For Sale In Cleveland. They are really nice. But I know that dream will still remain a dream for now. But I have this feeling that that dream of mine will come to be even before the year ends. Juts a hunch. But we women have strong intuition so I’ll see about that. I’ll for sure let you know what happens next. (“,)

Tools for the Task

I come across inetsoft performance management software today and learning about it made me wish that the software had been invented during those times that I was still connected with a telecommunication company wherein I had to make a report everyday. That was a daunting task and it could have been easier with this software.

Nevertheless, daunting as it had been, I was able to accomplish the tasks that were given to me and did good at it. High five! (“,)

My New Forever21 Platform Shoes

With 4 inches heels, these pair have the highest heels that I would be wearing ever. We will be attending a gala night soon so I bought me a new pair to match my cocktail dress. I was really glad when I found this because I had a hard time looking for one. My shoe size is 5 and almost all of the stores here offer size 6 as their smallest. You would seldom see size 5 shoes. I did see some, but I didn't like it so, I browsed online and here's what I got.

My new Forever21 peep-toe platform shoes. Love it!

Cash to Go in a Flash

I haven’t tried to it yet, but I know a lot of people are thankful for it. I am talking about a Fast Cash Loan which is really helpful during those times that cash is short and the bill list is long. I salute those establishments who think of such, like Capital Finance Web, because they undoubtedly help people in times of great need. Kudos!

Need Money Right Now?

Payday loans have been the source of cash for people who need it badly. And with the internet being in many households, you can get a Payday Loan Online anytime in the comfort of your own home such as what Apex offers, not to mention being the quickest way.

Aren’t we thankful about the internet? We sure are thankful for establishments who offer payday loans because for certain, they sure do help.

Music Monday: Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen

After celebrating Mother's Day brunch with my husband's family, I got in the mood to listen to music when we got home. Then the movie "Dirty Dancing" came to mind. I don't know why, it just popped up. The movie's soundtrack is one of my fave soundtracks of all time. And this song was the one that I kept listening to over and over again yesterday, and probably, I'll continue to listen to it today. I really love this song. Makes me feel like a teenage girl that is head over heels in love with her boyfriend. LOL.

Here’s a Hint, Honey

I am currently listening to Billy Joel’s “She’s Always A Woman.” I posted it on Facebook and dedicated it to all the moms. Tomorrow is a special day for us moms and for certain, there will be an abundance of gifts again. It could be laptops notebooks - I HOPE! - and any other thing that you could think of.

Notebooks are for those moms who are always on the go and for those moms they will be useful. But for my mom who is a stay at home mom, flowers and a personalized greeting card would be best for her and that’s because she loves flowers so much.

Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms!

Yippee! He’s Still Singing My Song

Watching the Rachael Ray show is a part of my morning rituals. I really like her show because the dishes that she prepares are something that really interest me. Aside from that, she also interviews popular individuals and today, I was surprised to see Richard Marx.

I had to stop reading about cheap term life insurance when I heard him singing. It’s been a while that he’s been away from the limelight and hearing him singing his hit song from the 90’s made me reminisce. What a voice he’s got! Do I sound like I am daydreaming? Well, kinda sorta.

My New Steve Madden Handbag

I've always been wanting to own a new brown bag. I browsed the bags section whenever we are in the mall, but I wasn't lucky to find one that I like. I was browsing online one day when I saw this one and it was on sale. Perfect! I ordered it immediately because I was afraid somebody might get it first.

It is a velvet draw-string bag with a detachable handle that I can use as a shoulder bag or a shopping bag. It arrived last week and I really love it!

Lovely, isn't it?

Being on the Beach Would Make Me Feel Like a Peach

I do believe that each and everyone of us has his or her dream house. Mine is a house over looking the ocean. It doesn’t have to be a mansion because that would be too big for my family, as well as my meager budget. There are only three of us so you can just imagine how too big a mansion would be for us.

But there’s one thing that I am certain my dream house would possess: a veranda where I can sit on my lounge chair while looking at the ocean and feeling its breeze. And that home for sale in vero beach that I saw online is simply perfect. I know that will remain a dream for now, but as they say, dream big and that is just what I am doing.

Get The Facts to Remove the Fat

When diet pills became popular, it seemed like there was a new pill introduced almost every day. People who wanted to lose weight were so into it because it was the quickest way to lose those unwanted pounds. But from what I’ve heard, there were unsuccessful stories that went hand-in-hand with the successful ones.

For me, I think it is best to check a pill’s faq first so you will be able to know the ingredients it has since not all work for everyone. What works for a friend of yours, may not work for you. And what is safe for him or her may not be safe for you. Your medical history is something that you really should consider. So the next time you check for anything you‘re going to put into your body, read first. It is always the best thing to do.

Vera Vera Wang

As soon as spring started, I knew I needed a pair of sunglasses because the beaming sunshine irritates my eyes. I told my husband about it, but buying this pair of sunglasses came as a surprise for me. We went to the mall to buy something and I thought we would go home after that, but instead we went to one of my favorite stores, Kohl's. He loves surprising me and oh boy, how I love surprises! (",)

My Vera Vera Wang sunglasses. Love it!

Get Back More When You Link Back

I was so naïve when I started my personal website, but with the help of a friend, I was able to learn the most important and necessary things to do to have my website readable through the world wide web. I did learn and understand the benefits of those things through her and I can’t thank her enough. Those things include SEO, web hosting, page rank and backlinks to name a few.

I invested in those ideas, but what I gained back was really worth it. If you have a website, personal or not, be sure to know these things. And if ever you’ve already decided to get backlinks, check the link for a reasonable one. Best of luck!

Home is Where the Heart, and the Soap, Is

Homemade shaving soap. I never knew there was such a thing until I came across it online today. What a breakthrough, I must say. And it perked my interest the more when I learned what the ingredients were.

I believe this will be the perfect shaving soap for the husband. He has been using shaving cream for years, but more often than not, it didn’t give him the smooth lather that he wanted because he always cuts himself. I will tell him about it and knowing him to always listen to me, he will try the soap, for sure. (“,)

Music Monday: She's Always A Woman by Billy Joel

I so love this song and since we will be celebrating Mother's Day this Sunday, I thought of this as my entry this week. I know that this song goes not only to mothers, but to all women. But since a mother is an exceptional woman, this song is simply perfect. Don't you think so?

Happy Music Monday and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!!!

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to live
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
