How was our Black Friday?
Anyhow, at the end of my Black Friday sale, I was astounded and quite furios with madness when I read about This Black Friday Tragedy in Walmart, NY. This things could never happen if the shopper were more educated and controlling of themselves. My prayer goes out to the Walmart worker and his family. I hope none of these things will happen in the future Black Friday sales.

online and in-store?
The online shops thanksgiving sale promos and campaign ads emails have been pouring in my inbox and to be honest, there are not quite big discounts and most of them just give out free shipping which is quite normal. Anywhow, I think Black Friday sales are still best in store. Other than the huge door buster discounts, they give out freebies if you come in really early :).
So you asked me this time, online of in store? I prefer in store just for this special sales event.
easy on the Black Friday Sale.

"Thankful"
by Josh Groban
Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.
So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.
Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue
So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.
Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light
So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more
There's so much to be thankful for

great expectations
My mom said that there seems to be a lot of singles in the 30ish these days as compared to her circle of friends back in her younger years. Most of them were already married before they even reached 30!
Anyhow, internet dating has been seen as one of the best place to meet singles. Such as Great Expectations. They are a safe online dating site as they do background checks before you could even put on your profile. Check out this video which features a couple who met from Great Expectations.

weakness
One of my weaknesses include ultra smooth, nicely-shaped hands and very perfectly polished nails. Just because, I do not have one :(. Sadly, my hands are made for working and they are quite short and veiny, though smooth. My mom started me out early on manicure so my cuticles are quite thick! Every time I see pairs of beautiful hands with perfectly polished nails, I could not help but ask the person if she is working or she has all the maids in the world to do her housechores. But, you would be surprised that there are some who works hard with their hands yet maintain that very beautiful pair, I guess it's in their genes. Anyhow, I am not really the kind of girl who wants nail polished every day. I have a house to tend to and a very energetic toddler to run after to once in a while. But, I make sure my toe nails are polished with bold colors, most of the time. Like the ones I saw at OPI nail polish website. They have a huge selection of nail polish that would make those nails of yours harder and more gorgeous. Check out the site for more.

How to Wear High Heels
Anyhow, I thought of sharing this wonderful entry from wikihow.com on how to wear heels!

1.Don't wear high heels if they are too high. The best size shoes are medium height.
2. Wear some thin socks underneath. This will help prevent your feet from rubbing against the leather or on the material of the shoes.
3. Buy shoes with soft inner soles.
4.Avoid the high heels when cycling - poor control and pain are the consequences. Wear high heels only when you don't have to walk a lot or perform energetic activities. Don't even consider cycling to and from work in them - that is asking for trouble even though you may have seem some foolhardy enough to try.
5. Wear high heels for special occasions. Times that are more suitable for high heels include activities such as birthday parties, visiting night clubs (although this depends on how much dancing you do and how comfortable you are in high heels), graduation parties, church etc.
a breeze.

the kind of blogger.
>>>Personal relationships on my immediate family and my extended family and friends I use initials. I am not that gutsy to talk about religion and politics in the wordlwideweb hee.
2. If you needed a “tagline” or sub-title for your blog, what would you use to describe your blog?
>>>For this blog: Everything I want but rather save on travel and education.
3. You notice that a close “blog buddy” of yours has suddenly removed the link to your blog from his or her website. Do you contact that person to ask why you’re no longer linked, or ignore it?
>>>Ahm, I am not that addicted to my backlinks lol! I don't really mind and guess what I have not been checking on my backlinks as well.
4. Take the quiz: What Kind of Blogger Are You?
>>>Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary.
If it happens, you blog it. And you make it as entertaining as possible.You may be guilty of over-sharing a bit on your blog, but you can't help it. Your life is truly an open book. Or in this case, an open blog!
5. If there was no such thing as feed readers, the sites or that allow you keep up with multiple blogs at once, and the only way for you to actually keep up with your blogging friends was to actually go to their own individual blog every time, how many blogs do you think you would seriously read regularly?
>>>Honestly. Only about 20 :)
6. If you learned that each of the following people had been secretly reading your blog for a while now, which one would make you want to look back through your content to see if any apologies might be necessary: your parents, your children, your best friend, your pastor, your boss, or your worst enemy?
>>>This is the reason I do not write hate entries, well there are days I could not help but rant but I use initials or general rants. If they were soooo guilty about it, they would assume LOL!

The Mahina Gift.
Anyhow, ever since Mahina came out, I have fallen in love with its shape and how it can double as your mini-duffel/travelling bag. But for a bag, this can be too pricey for me. At least in the next 20 years hehe.
