Affirmation cards.

I am sharing this Affirmation Cards in all of my blogs. I discovered this from a blogger friend and has started my day (apart from prayers) with picking up one affirmation card to inspire me for the rest of the day :). So this is my affirmation card today. Check out yours too!

Love surrounds me, flows within me and radiates out from me so that all who come into contact with me feel healed and nourished by it.

No Scottie for me.

Have you seen the Scottie Collection of Dooney&Bourke. Sad sad sad. They should stop making those printed bags :(. No offense meant. But this new collection is just not my taste. I love the heart chain (which can make nice iphone accessories as well) and IT D&B colored prints but after that, the hearts, the graffiti and now this :(. Yay! If you like it, check out the rest of the Scottie Dog collection HERE.

on higher education.

I will never get tired to write about online university and higher education. I am a firm believer that with education comes better future. Although, I know and I understand that not everyone who graduated and complete their degree may it be bachelors, master's or a doctorate degree can get an job easily but I believe that it would always be an edge over people who have not completed any degree. So if you think you have a chance and opportunity at education, don't let it pass you like that. Education is an investment and something to be very proud of.

Cheery Bags.

Bold enough to wear a purse with bright, happy and cheery colors? Well, well, well Piperlime is for you. They are currently having a sale on some of these cheery bags :) and yes very affordable prices. If you have not chosen any IT bag for Summer, check out Piperlime for more.

From the Oprah Site.

Let's segue to a more inspiring entry from fashion and sale alerts :). I got this list from a blogger friend which she got from Oprah Winfrey's website and thought of sharing it here too. Since most of my readers are women, this list is very inspiring for all women out there. Very very good read. Enjoy!

1. What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what.

2. You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.

3. Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.

4. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. (A lesson from Maya Angelou.)

5. Worrying is wasted time. Use the same energy for doing something about whatever worries you.

6. What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.

7. If the only prayer you ever say is thank you, that will be enough. (From the German theologian and humanist Meister Eckhart.)

8. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give.

9. Failure is a signpost to turn you in another direction.

10. If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.

11. Trust your instincts. Intuition doesn’t lie.

12. Love yourself and then learn to extend that love to others in every encounter.

13. Let passion drive your profession.

14. Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.

15. Love doesn’t hurt. It feels really good.

16. Every day brings a chance to start over.

17. Being a mother is the hardest job on earth. Women everywhere must declare it so.

18. Doubt means don’t. Don’t move. Don’t answer. Don’t rush forward.

19. When you don’t know what to do, get still. The answer will come.

20. “Trouble don’t last always.” (A line from a Negro spiritual, which calls to mind another favorite: This, too, shall pass.)

baby gifts.

Two of my friends are on the way, they are both due to give birth at the end of the year and I just could not wait to see their bundle of joys. Aahhh the smell, the joy and the unexplainable feeling of having a baby, an infant at home. Makes me want to shop or buy baby gifts for their babies. I think I might pop an order at BabyNest.com. Next to my personal effects, baby stuff are what I like buying the most. Those cute little onesies I could not resist :). I wish everything will be settled next year so we could have our 2nd bundle of joy too :). I can't wait!

anywhere USA.

I may have heard a few times before that each state in the United States has their own identity and you will never get enough traveling or driving around the country because you would discover new things, places and uniqueness in each state. So when I got here and started to travel state to state, from west to east coasts, I instantly notice the difference in each state and it was enriching to discover this. As if you are traveling to a new country each time you visit a new city or state. The major difference I notice was how different houses are from each state. I honestly think that the weather is a huge factor on this. I may have not visited Atlanta but I have heard that houses there are extremely beautiful and have unique identities. If you would like to see the kind of houses Atlanta has, you can check out this site that offers Atlanta remodeling services. Also, the site is a wealth of home remodeling ideas and information. The company is known in the industry of house construction and remodeling and has garnered quite a good reputation and testimonials from their previous clients. Head off to their site for more information.

friday fillins (200609)

1. All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting to do everything for them.

2. Show me a good loser and I will show you a winner.

3. Gluttony is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one time.

4. Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy doing other things and think politics is dirty.

5. I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine hairdye and conditioning mix.

6. It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without rice or pasta in it.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to snoozing early, tomorrow my plans include dinner out with my boys and Sunday, I want to do the make-up trial for my cousin-in-law's fiancee!

yay for billiards!

One sports that I really would like to indulge but never had a chance to learn how to play it is billiards. You see, every time my friends would sponsor billiards parties, I would always end up cheering for them as they play and yes munching the goodies on the side. We used to have a mini billiards table in our parents' home but I never got serious in learning the game and now that I want to learn it, I regret those days that my brothers go gaga over billiards after all, they would end up to be my best billiards mentor. Anyhow, it's never too late as I could always indulge in some multiplayer games online at 8c1.net. Hmmm, what do you think?

Summer Sale 5: GAP

Super knock down prices at GAP starting at $9.99!
You know the drill, just click on the photo below to redirect you to the sale site :).
Have a fun friday shopping spree!

Jump jump jumpers!

So what are these?
These are the very IN fashion trend this Spring and Summer, Jumpers or Jumpsuits! I would love to own one set of pants and another set of shorts jumper/jumpsuit but that would mean I should take the best diet pills in town to be able to fit in one of these and look very good on it as well. Argh! I hate this diet blues, I wish I could just eat and eat without gaining a pound and an inch.

More of these jumpsuits at UrbanOutfitters.com.
Have a good weekend everyone!

is it boots' season?

Spring can be a very weird season, it can get scorching hot during the day and as the day ends, the weather becomes very chilly. Then there are days when you feel it's so dry and then all of a sudden, thunderstorms and lightning followed by heavy rains begins to fall. Weird huh? No wonder some people here are wearing shorts with their rain boots! Ahh, boots, their such an in thing in every season but this entry isn't any of those fashion boots, but safety boots.

I chanced upon these safety shoes site which has a lot of sturdy and affordable rigger boots similar to the one in photo. This rigger boots is noted to be hard wearing and very inexpensive type of lightweight TPU boot. The best feature it has is the steel toe caps which obviously strengthen its safety and protection features. For more information on these types of boots, check out williamlennon.co.uk.

Summer Sale 4: Marc Jacobs

However, I might as well save my shopping money for a well-deserved vacation courtesy of Westgate. A good friend booked their family vacation a few weeks ago and they were very happy with the service. Anyhow, here are some of the MJ bags that I like :).

Friday Fillins (050609)

Go Bright! Go Colored!

I am not a huge fan of sneakers.
I only have a couple and I rarely rarely wear them. I feel like, I'm a lot shorter when I'm wearing sneakers harharhar. But these colored sneakers from Piperlime catched my attention :). Ain't they all perfect this Spring and come Summer!

Here are my top 4!

fishy, fishy, fishy...

My son is an ultimate water person. He loves the beach and he does not mind staying too long in the tub no matter how cold the season is. Even as early as 1, he did not show any fear when we dipped him in the beach and at 2 when he started swimming in the pool. Other than these facts, he also loves reading books in marine life and what nots. You bet, he loves watching NEMO! One time, his dad was telling him that by the time he reaches 8, they would go fishing together. Hubby, on the other hand would even start reading washington fishing guides and oregon fishing guides. These 2 places are known for the best fishing spots.

If you are into fishing, you might want to check out these washington fishing guide and oregon fishing guide at megabitesguideservice.com. The site is a wealth of fishing related information and tips. Enjoy your fishing!

dreaming of beach homes

Part of hubby's and my ultimate goals is to be able to own our private beach homes similar to the Oregon coast vacation rentals and Oregon coast lodging from BeachCombersnw.com. When we were a lot younger we would always drive around and stop in every mountain resort and beach home we would pass by. We would imagine the place to be our own and we would take lots of pictures. Even up to now when you ask hubby, he would say that he would only retire when he has his own resort and beach homes.

Okay enough of the daydreaming hee hee. I am off to check this Lincoln city Oregon vacation rental which is known to be one of the best Pet friendly rentals Oregon service companies. Their beach house rentals listings include the best spots in Oregon and Washington. For more information, you can visit their site at beachcombersnw.com.

men's girl.

I know majority of my readers here are women because of the Shopping and Fashion sales I post :). So to my women readers, have you ever touched or fired a gun? Hubby used to own a gun and I barely touched it. I always tell him to sell it because I am against to having a gun at home, he obliged and now we are gun-free :). Although, from time to time he would miss his toy, I would just tell him that we could play paintball/airsoft and release his gaming stress through an airsoft rifle he usually surfs at ZephyrAirSoft.com. So girls, do love playing with men's toys or indulging in men's games like gun shooting and airsoft?
