What I wouldn't give…

beach

…to be in this place right now.

Alone. I want to be alone even for a day. Without worries. Without any fear for the future. Just me. Thinking of nothing else but my own happiness. Even for a day.

Only thing is, I don’t have the money to go anywhere but here.

Sad.

Cheap tickets

When I can, I make sure I pamper myself. Even once every two months, I do this. I can’t indulge more than that because I have my priorities. And if I do spend something for myself, I get it cheap if I can. Thus, the cheap Reliant Stadium Tickets for this weekend. I am getting the tickets from A Cheap Seat.

ACheapSeat.com is a web site where people can get cheap show tickets. They know that people still like to be entertained even with the difficulties in finances right now. So instead of buying expensive show tickets, get premium tickets at a discounted price at the site. Like the Metallica Tickets that are being sold at a great price. Or the U2 concert tickets coveted by most fans. And I am one of those!

If you are interested in getting sports, concert and theatre tickets, there is only one site to go to. ACheapSeat.com it is! Visit the site now and check out their hottest deals. Or call them up at 708-535-8682 now.

Drink in the morning

Hot_Choco

I drink either a hot choco milk or coffee in the morning. It’s a habit since I was younger. I need to have something hot to drink in the morning or when I wake up or I will get tummy ache if I drink something cold first. I don’t know if there is a scientific explanation to this. Maybe just borne out of habit. Or probably it is psychological only? But it is that way for me.

What about you? What do you drink in the morning? I know a friend who can’t go on with his day without a glass of orange juice first thing in the morning. A kid I know needs to have her glass of cold water when she wakes up.

Paris!

eiffel_tower

As you already know, if you are a regular visitor, I travel virtually. I love through the travel adventures of others. Since I cannot travel right now due to financial constraints, I am listing down places I would like to see should funds be made available to me. On the top 3 spot is Paris! Now, let’s see. I want to see the Eiffel Tower up close and personal, of course. I know that I can stay in a Bed and breakfast or a Hotel paris. There are so many options for me. There are chasseur appartements paris as well. Or even the hotel avignon! And then I can explore Paris leisurely. I would love that so much!

Dreaming of traveling once more…

Widget disabled

You might have noticed already that I have disabled my EC widget. Sorry to those who would want to advertise. I am just finishing off a last advertiser and then I am off Entrecard. I don’t like the sponsor ads. It scares me to think that I have very little control with what’s going to appear on my widget. What if it’s a gambl!ng site? I don’t like that. Or some other site I deem inappropriate. So it’s bye-bye time for me.

But I would like to take this opportunity to thank Entrecard for my brief stay with them. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! If it isn’t for the sponsor ads, I would have stayed longer.

I hope that my regular droppers will continue visiting here.

See you around!

Imeldific

imeldificThe fashion world coined the word “Imeldific” to signify a person’s exaggerated fixation on shoes. “Imeldific”, of course, came from the name of Philippines’ once first lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos who was known as the queen of pairs and pairs of shoes!

I was never, and will never be, an “Imeldific”. But like the average girl, I love shoes, too. I once bought so many pairs when I got a bonus that I ended up giving away some after only using it once or twice. That’s because when I like a pair, expect me to wear it again and again until it becomes sorry-looking. LOL

How about you? Are you “Imeldific”?

Girl friends

girlfriends

It’s good to have girl friends around you. You need not see them often but the ones that are best are those that when you see, even after years of not seeing each other, there are no deafening silences in your conversations. I am lucky to have a handful of girl friends with whom I can totally relate to.

I wish us more years of friendship and countless girl talks!
;)

Carefree

Wild Woman Dance

Because of my obligations, being carefree is out of the question for me. It’s not something I can be. But I am a normal person who yearns to be free of her obligations even for a day or two. I just have so many obligations to attend to that even that day or two of being wild and carefree can’t happen.

Life. Is. Unfair.

Going out with the girls

I love going out with my girl friends. I don’t go out that much anymore because of work. But when I do, I make sure that I get the most out of it. We are all busy working girls and our schedule conflicts with each other. When we feel like seeing each other, we move mountains to align our schedules. Anyway, it’s not every day that we do this.

Come this weekend, we are all thinking of having fun. Getting Las Vegas Show Tickets is an option for us. We love watching live performances and talking about it over coffee after. You know, the usual rant and rave about something you’ve seen.

Two of us are already married. One is separated. Three are still single. I belong to the latter category. So you can just imagine how our work and their married lives are preventing us from seeing each other as often as we want. When we do see each other, expect a blast!

Quote of the Day

quote

There is one rule: If you aren’t having fun with your clothes—if you don’t enjoy wearing what you have—you are wearing the wrong things!

- Randolph Duke

I can be kikay but I don’t follow trends. I normally go with what’s comfortable. I’ve been that way ever since. I once tried following what’s “in”. I felt stupid the whole time. It just wasn’t me. It will never be me.

Go with something that will make you feel good and comfortable. It’s YOU that matters. Not the opinion of others. At the end of the day, it’s YOUR mind and body who will enjoy or suffer anyway.

Way ahead of time?

Plan ahead.

I am always given this advice by people who truly care for me. But you know what? I am not good with planning ahead. In fact, I always realize that I jinx myself that way. Things always don’t go the way I planned it. I am comfortable with planning a day or two before the actual event or happening.

But planning way ahead of time? No, thanks.

Alternative to an actual campus

Time can sometimes be an obstacle for us. Even people who are really good in managing their time are faced with a hurdle brought about by time itself. But there is always an alternative if you just know how to look for it.

He wants to be able to pursue a higher education, his master’s degree, to add to his credentials. But since he does overtime work most days, he can’t afford to go to school. There’s an alternative, though. Getting his master’s from a university online!

Capella University a fully accredited online university offering higher education for those who need it but does not have enough time to go to an actual campus. Check out Capella.edu now for more information.

Trekking to Baguio

Baguio

If you want to go up to Baguio right now, this is the way in. You have to trek that cliffside and risk getting yourself killed in the process. Thanks to typhoon Pepeng, landslides left and right happened in different parts of the Benguet province. Just imagine how great the desire of these people are to be able to cross Marcos highway…

It didn’t rain today. The sun shone brightly here in the city. I am hoping that typhoons will leave the country for good. We’ve had enough to last us the rest of the year.

While working…

cafe

I love listening to jazz music while working. If I really want to concentrate, I just plug in my earphones and would tune in to Kenny G’s Yahoo! Launchcast radio station. You might not know it yet but he has his very own radio station. Kenny G is a favorite artist of mine. If I am in the mood for a coffeehouse mood, then I tune in to The Coffeehouse. Believe me, you will get the feeling that you are chilling inside a cafe somewhere with your favorite cup of coffee.

Next destination

Rina and her family go on a family vacation every summer. They make sure that every family trip is an adventure for all of them. This year, they went on a 3-country Asian visit. They still don’t know their destination for next year so when we got the chance to talk, I told her about Karisma Hotels. Particularly, the Azul Beach Hotel which has a lot of family-friendly amenities. It is said to be the first boutique all-inclusive resort. There are adult-sized indulgences for parents.

You might be looking for the next destination for your family vacation just like Rina and her family. If you are, may I suggest you go and check out KarismaHotels.com now.
