Next month , a dear friend of mine will go to the USA because she just grabbed a wonderful job there as an accountant. She got hired at a Las Vegas Accounting Firm and will soon be starting to work. I remember my sister who is also an accountant who currently works at a bank in CA. I told my friend that if there will be any vacancy in their company, she can give my sister a call so she can also try her luck there. My sister wants to try working in a firm since she has been with the bank for 4 years already. We will meet my friend next week for her send off party and I am having mixed emotions. I feel happy for her success in life , but I also feel sad because I will surely miss her. She has been working really hard eversince she graduated college ,a nd she truly deserves what she has now.

During our vacation, we were able to see the Ocean Pavillion of the hotel , and I instantly fell in love with it. I was there for like 15 minutes, looking all over the place that is full of glass overlooking the beach. Such a serene place and I keep on imagining myself there , renewing wedding vows with my husband. Four years ago, if only we have the budget , then I would have chosen those that I see in destination weddings. I love weddings by the beach because i really find it romantic . I imagine those pictures that I saw at the site of Karisma Hotels where the beach is so tranquil , then there's white flowers at the ceremony venue..the beach , the sun and sand highlights it all. Maybe i should stop shopping now so I can start saving so I can afford a destination wedding.

I love make ups and I just can't live without them. I am fortunate that my friends are so much inot it too so we shop together online especially if there's sale. I always try experimenting with my make up , from simple casual to something a little dramatic if there's an occasion. With this, my friend suggested that I take up cosmetology to further enjoy what I like to do best. Iam seriously thinking about it too, but I have to consider my schedule here at home. Having two kids really eats up my time so I am not sure if i can still squeeze up that class. But I feel excited just by thinking of it. I searched online and saw something like the beauty school indianapolis from Regency Schools. Its a fst growing beauty school that expanded its campus all over nine states. I am keeping this in my shortlist by the time I am free to enroll in Cosmetology.

Lately , I have been soo busy around the house , that I wasn't able to update this blog anymore. I became dependent on coffee and i thought of giving it a break for this week. But i wonder how will I have those energy I need to survive the day ? My friend suggested that I try these Acai Berry Energy Supplements . It is an all natural product that has became popular because of it's effectivity. I am a bit hesistant at first to give it a try because I'm afraid that it might not taste really good. I have this thinking that natural stuff tastes blank. But my freidn said that i should give it a try first for me to find out. So later, I will order online and hopefully , i will receive it any time this week. I am still browsing their site and they have a lot of natural products available. Hmm , I wonder what will I get for my husband.

Have you heard about options trading lately? Well, I am thinking of some kind of investment for this year, and a friend recommended this one. You know that these days, bank savings are not enough, one should place his money on something that has higher interest than usual. So I checked out PowerOptions and read more about the options express . They have online tools to help you monitor the progress of your investment. And they even have a toll-free customer support for your inquiries and feedback. Now , you might ask when is the right time to invest on this? My answer would be now is the best time. Make the most out of the money you have now than spending it on senseless shopping.

I am up for something BIG between my kids. I bet they will be like cats and dogs when it comes to toys and stuff. The pics above were taken during our weekend at Bellevue. They both love playing with their dad's cellphone and they are "fighting " for it LOL . It happened many times, not just with this but with the PSP , laptop , camera , LeapPad , LMAX (yeah they are both into gadgets) ... I will definitely be needing the best wrinkle cream when i hit 40 ! I think this is really normal , they both want the same thing at the same time . and when you try giving the other a different one, then the other would want that too. I hope this would be lessen when Dominique is into dolls already .

You might have noticed lately that I am working hard to shed a few pounds. Even though it really doesn't show yet in my figure, I am proud to say that I am doing my best to eat healthy and stay away from junk food. I stopped buying from the grocery , coz when you stock up at home, you usually eat that when you feel tired or hungry . So that gotta stop ! A friend of mine suggested some weight loss supplements that work , but i am seriously contemplating on trying it out because we are off to the beach in 3 weeks and who would want to walk around there with a bulge in your tummy (yet you are not pregnant) . Oh well, it takes discipline and hardwork i guess.

Here's what i love to eat lately when we are at the mall. It's cholesterol and fat free , plus it has fresh fruits so that adds a little something :)

With less than $50 each, one can achieve that glam look of jewelries. I love accessories but I can't spend that much on them so I always use my alternatives to still look great even if I'm on a budget. Look at these lovely pieces that I found at Holsted Jewelers, who would even say that it's on sale?




With its price, one can still expect excellent quality of every jewelry . I can tell that my little girl can still use this when she gets older. With its classic and elegant designs, it is surely a great piece. Search through all of their items and I bet, you will end up buying a few pieces too, just like me.

Anyone here looking for eyeglasses? Let me share this to everyone , the $ 8 Rx eyeglasses . I am looking for the perfect gift for my mom for her birthday , and I thought of eyeglasses because she lost hers recently. She knows I am on a budget now , she she's really not asking for something expensive. Lucky me, i found about Zenni Optical on TV!!! They have a lot of new designs now which is also perfect for Back to School Savings . High Five to Zenni Optical for wonderful eyeglasses at a great price .

Today, a friend of mine called to inform me that she has finally decided to transfer to a place nearer to her work. She updated me with a change in telephone numbers, and the new address of course. She was looking for some cross country moving companies at her phone directory when she taught of me , that's why she called. I wish i can stay longer on the phone with her because I miss our long chats , but since I am not feeling well, i promised I will just call her as soon as i feel better . I know she is all busy with all the packing (and unpacking soon) , so i dont want to take her time too. I cant wait to see their new place next month !

I was searching for some items on wholesale online because I plan to sell them, especially kids clothes , and look what I found ! Its not on wholesale, but it is on sale at Nordstrom . Would you believe that the regular price for this is $165 , and now it is marked down to $57.45 ! Whoah ! That is a big slash already , but i dont have the money for now to spend on this beautiful dress. I find it perfect for her birthday , but i guess i have to wait for another sale , and by that time maybe i have money to spend for her clothes. For the meantime, I need to go back with searching for wholesale clothes.

Don't you just love it if you found something for free? I recently found out about this royalty free music online . Its a site for an online collection of quality music for the indie creative community. I chanced upon this site when i was looking for Stock Music that I'll be needing for some of my work. They have good sound quality, and it comes in several formats like wav and mp3. The next time you'll need royalty free music, you know where to go , and i am pretty sure you will enjoy downloading from their collection.

Now that our monthly amortization for the car is done, i am thinking on where to invest some of our money. I am afraid that i will just spend it with nonsense stuff, so i must really come up with a concrete plan of not just putting it at the bank. I have the option of getting a few stocks , but since i'm not that familiar with stock options, i might try out investing with gold or silver. I plan to call the customer service of Monex so i can inquire with the silver price . I actually got this idea from a friend who already got a few pieces of gold. She said that it's worth investing with this since the value is really going up. Silver is one metal that is on high demand now because of it's properties so that would be a great investment too.

Then why not try a romantic vacation riviera maya ? I was looking for some family destinations in this region when i chanced upon the Karisma hotels at Riviera Maya. There's different type of resorts that offers personalized services suited for ones needs. Aside from the family resorts, they have beaches that is so ideal for honeymooners or those who are into a romantic getaway. I actually recommended this to a friend of mine who will get married soon. This reminds me of my own dream of spending a few nights in a luxury resort , and waking up every morning with the view of the beachfront. Sun, sea and sand are the 3 things that i also look forward to in this type of vacation. Maybe soon , me and my husband can enjoy a romantic getaway too.

So this is one of the gifts that i got from my mom and dad when i turned a year older last May. I remember my mom asking me if i will like this heart pendant jewelry , and of course i said YES ! Im not really into jewelries, but now that i have a baby girl, i know that someone would use it in the future so there's a lot more reason to buy :) Anyway, here's the pic.. it doesn't give justice at all but it's really fab.



More than what i expected, it comes with a really nice chain . And its good to wear even if you are wearing nice fitting tees , it boosts up your look without being too flashy with accessories. Thanks mom and dad!

Last week , my mom told me that her sugar level is currently being monitored because her last exam results were a bit high than the normal range. She is also into some meds already and hopefully it will help her sugar to normalize in no time. Hopefully it will not lead into a full case of diabetes , because i know how hard it can be on one's diet. My mother in law has diabetes and until now she has medications and a strict diet to ensure that her sugar wont shoot up anytime. I even got her some insulin syringe last year for her daily shots of insulin. I think with proper diet , they will really be in good shape even they have diabetes. Im really hoping for the best for my mom's health. Its so hard to be sick nowadays.

Tomorrow will be my sister's first day in school , an online university i should say. She finally braved her schedule at work and enrolled herself to get an online degree . She really has a lot of plans for herself this year , and i never knew that she was really serious with it. Now i feel happy with all her decisions, I'm sure, she will really go places in no time. I wonder when i can enroll myself too. I've been thinking of this one for months now and i even told my husband about this . I am also encouraging him to enroll himself. Maybe, give us a few months, when my princess is a bit bigger and we have more time here at home.

Last week , we went to two malls looking for a great deal on XBox , but still we find it pricey with the amount i saw online. This is what the dad likes for now, he is really into game consoles so i am not suprised to know that he will be getting an xbox. Since it would cost us a few more here, we will just get it online and have it shipped at my moms place. She will soon be going home and my husband is willing to wait for a while. His next projest now is to buy some games for it. NBA would definitely be there as this is his and my son's favorite game.

Boooo!!

This happens when im in great need of money, there's no room to be lazy. This is actually a long day for me already , but i have to work hard for something that I want to have soon. That I have to keep a secret for now.

Anyway, my princess is 8 months old today. We went to the mall for dinner then we checked a few of our fave stores. My husband is looking for an unlocked phone at the electronics shop as i browsed through some cameras. He plans of getting a personal phone because his current phone is for business use.

Tomorrow we will hit another mall, hopefully i can grab some clothes for my princess. Happy Saturday everyone!

I am back to my online world.

I did not neglected my blogs, a lot of things happened last week and i really dont know where to start. First things first. I will just squeeze a few updates because I need to research more on Blue Advantage , a health plan for the residents of North Carolina. My cousin needs it for her thesis and I am helping her out.

Anyway, just to give you an idea, the highlight of our weekend was our 4th wedding anniversary. We stayed in a hotel down South with the kids , so i was out of the online world since Friday. I have tons of pictures to upload, but that needs to wait as i have a lot of assignments to submit.

Be back soon!
