Shades Shopping

What is the most important factor that would consider when you are shades shopping. The shades I am referring to is the window shades, not the sunglasses for your eyes. To me, besides they should be discount shades, the most important factor on my list when I shop for window shades is cost [...]

New Laptop

For one reason or another, I finally got a new laptop computer. My first choice was one of those mini laptop computers, or the netbook, but it was not feasible since Chick and Monkey would be using the laptop quite often, and the small screen was not good for their eyes. Since there [...]

Bling Bling

Bling Bling. This is how we refer to diamonds. Diamond is fascinating. How many of you have seen the untreated diamond? I meant diamond in raw form, the rock? It is amazing how the untreated rock could turn into beautiful, sparkling diamonds. My personal favorite shape is the Asscher [...]

New Cellphone

The last cellphone lasted two years, and still working. It was a Korean brand cellphone, and it was an unlocked phone. I was able to use it in Asia and Europe when we were traveling abroad, that was an advantage. I just upgraded my plan by getting a new cell phone. [...]

Weird Discounts

Who says the economy is bad? I still see lines at the cash registered in stores. People still buying for the Holidays. Well, I guess they just spent their money more wisely.

I don’t even remember since when, I fell in love with personalized holiday photo cards, especially those with cute and elegant designs. Flat, foldover, tri-fold, and even calendar card style, so many to choose from. This [...]

What’s Inside?

A huge box delivered. Well, it’s tall.

It’s my chandelier to be installed over the dinner table. I’ve first seen it at friends’ new home (Carmen & Jorence). It was almost 2 years ago, and I fell in love with it at first sight. It’s elegant and contemporary. I [...]
