Merry Christmas Everyone!

All of you must be very busy preparing their noche buenas at home. Yummy and tasty for sure! It's good to be with our families once again and to exchange gifts with one another. We'll be in Troyes starting tomorrow to be with my inlaws so hubby and I wish you all an Advance Merry Christmas and may love and prospertiy will always be in our hearts.

Our Christmas Party

Last night was our Christmas party. It was a very simple party and girls brought in some foods and share it with the others. Our little party was fun and everybody were mingling eachother and were getting to know eachother since all the students were present. That was the only chance for us to really talk and discover one another since our scheds are different plus classes start directly right after each class once finished. Since we feel like we're very feminine, mostly of the foods were sweets like cakes, tartes, pastries together with champagne. Alcohols were forbidden though.

Know What Mesothelioma Is

I always meet mesothelioma word but I honestly don't have any idea what it is. I mean, I know it's cancer but I know where it occurs in one's body, how to avoid it, the treatments and etc. Cancer is a very serious subject and one must know about it so that early treatments will be given before it gets worst. I guess, one must really give an importance to it especially now that treatments are really expensive plus chances of surviving are really low.

Sick Again

Many pending tasks once again and have to submit them before the expiry date comes. I'm so overloaded these last days plus I'm sick too. I was even absent this morning from our bellydancing class and I felt bad about it because I made a promise last night with the girls that I'll be present today. But because of my condition, woke up so late and my body till now is very heavy. Hopefully I'll get better in the next days before Christmas day. Hubby's getting better while my situation gets worse. Anyway, enough for that subject and have to look up somewhere what linear motion is.

Elegant Hard Drives

Finding a gift for somebody can be hard sometime but for me, one of the best gift that you could offer will be hard drives. Everybody has his/her own computer and laptop at home at present time and I'm very much sure that hard drive will be very helpful for that person especially when she/he collects many things and has many valuable documents to be stored. The latest trend for a hard drive is the small one, the one that looks like a book. It's small, light and easy to use.

Moving Without A Hassle

Moving and is searching for a company that has affordable moving trucks? Upack.com is the place that I'll be recommending you. This company is very affordable compared to the other moving companies plus they'll take good care of your belongings well and carefully. A friend of mine tried this company and she's absolutely happy with their service. So friends, give them a call at 1-800-355-1696 for more information.

Shopping at Importadvantage.com

Hey folks, incase you're searching for a tv stand for yourself, feel free to have an eye at importantadvantage.com. I just checked their site and they've got new, stylish and cutie stands available. The savings? They lower their prices up to 50% off from it's original price so you'll really save a lot of money especially for this holiday season.

Rearranging Once Again

Call me a house maniac but I'm going to admit that I did some rearrangement once again and even changed some of our accessories here at home. So far so good. I mean, the changes made the house nicer and perfectly suits to the motif I want. Not finished yet but hopefully, I'll arrive on that final point I want one day. My husband and I are planning of having our own house one day and wishfully it will happen next year. If that will happen, I'll finally have that outdoor lighting I want. Jezzz, been eyeing on that item for a long time already.

Manic Monday #146

Have you ever returned an item to a store for a refund after having used it?
- nope. Never I've tried doing that

You are going out for the evening. If your partner objects to what you are wearing, would you change your clothing?
- Yes, I will. Naturally, I always consult hubby when I'm wearing something if he likes it or not. I mean if it's bulgar or not, if the color compliments to eachother together with the shoes and etc. Hubby has a good fashion taste than me.

What item that you don’t currently possess would you most like to have in your home?
- linge de maison for our bedroom. I'm really trying to control my hands not to purchase these beddings I saw in Zara Home. I like their items there and so far, the articles I purchased there still last.

New Year's Eve Celebrations

It seems like there'll be parties everywhere here for New Year's eve. Why am I saying this? Because I was reading a mgazine and found out that 4 star hotels and mostly of the restos are organizing their own respective activities and menus for their guests. Whoooo! My dream will be to experience Regent Grand Hotel de Bordeaux's festivities. I do know that they'll have a very magnificent celebration. Aside from that, I'm imagining of spending our New Year's eve in Las Vegas. There's this one hotel in las vegas that I really love but I do know that this is not gonna happen because travelling in USA is not in our plans yet.

Thanks Sheriff

Sheriff has been so kind and generous to me eversince I started blogging. When december started, I first thought that I'm not gonna receive anything from him but goodness, he gave me many assignments last night. So happy because that would mean that my pockets won't be empty for the upcoming holidays. Thanks a lot Sheriff and these tasks are indeed a great gift for Christmas.

Reputable Dentist in DC

To my friend Ching who's searching for a Washington DC dentist, this post is for you. A friend of mine told me that you should make a rendez-vous avec Dr. Stephen Garcia (I thought he's my hemeopathe doctor as he is Dr. Garcia too) because this dentist is very good and has very gentle hands. You know what I'm trying to tell you I guess about gentle hands. My friend told me that Dr. Garcia is a very reputable and known dentist in Washington because of his dedication towards his jobs. All his patients love him especially kids and he'll be explaining you the facts that you should know before he'll do any prosthetics or anything. Give him a call ching ASAP.

Pasalubongs And More

Pasalubongs will be coming at home days before our arrival in Cebu. It's in a medium size cartoon plus I'll be bringing several gadgets with me like digital camera, laptop, mobile phones and many others. It's expected that I'll be overluggage once again ^-^. But what can I do? I prefer to do it that way instead of losing these items inside the box. I'm scared that they won't receive it and somebody will just steal it while it's somewhere in this world. Don't want that to happen and as much as possible, I'd like to avoid it knowing the fact that gadgets are pricey (oufff, it took me several months of work just to buy these items), laptop memory upgrade has been done too. Now, I'm just counting the days till our departure day arrives.

We Finally Have Our Tickets

Ohhh laaaa! We already have our tickets for our upcoming trip to Philippines. I'm finally at ease to have it on my hand. Prices have increased compared last year and the taxes are unbelievable. When we made our ticket reservation, hubby wanted to take the travel insurance but I kept on telling him not to do it as the tax we're paying are high enough already. Good thing we have our miles points and the next time we'll be travelling, we'll have our tickets for FREE and we'll have a VIP treatment :-). Life is beautiful isn't it?

Lingeries Or Not?

I've got crazy things inside my head these last days. It's nothing fancy, just some gift ideas that I'll be giving to my close friends here for the upcoming holidays. As I'm into lingeries, I'm thinking if giving them women's lingerie coming from my favorite store but the thing is, I'm not sure if they'll like it or not. The designs aren't bulgar at all and they've got hot pink and spicy red hot colors available. I don't really have any idea if they'll love it but as far as I know, women love it right? ^-^

Marky Cielo dies at 20

One of the things that surprised me yesterday afternoon when checking pep's site was Marky Cielo's death. This is unbelievable and I was really asking myself if it's true or not. Unfortunately, the news is true *sad*. I was an avid follower of Starstruck and I knew from the very start that he'll be the sole winner. I'm not a big fan of him but I like this guy because he seems very simple, kind and down to earth person. I first remember that he and this guy from Cebu (starstruck representative during their starstruck days) were fighting against eachother in the dance floor and it was pretty obvious that Marky has the talent when it comes to it. He won of course and was chosen as the prince of the dance floor. Now, he's dead and doctor's findings is something everybody's waiting for.

Condolence to the Cielo's family and to Marky, people will always love you. Rest in peace in God's hands.

Dream Maison

If one day we'll have our own dream maison with a big garden, I'd like to have Mulberry trees planted around of course flowers. That's something I've been wishing since from the start. Instead of using cement for fence or steels, I prefer to use plants around as a fence because it's beautiful to look at and fresh on the eyes. I couldnd't remember the exact name of that plant I'm talking to but mostly of the people are using it for fences. I find it class and simple.
