Can’t Wait for a Summer Vacation

Posted on April 29, 2011 by zoan| Leave a comment

I have been busy making telephone calls to Crown Regency Hotel (Cebu) and Dao Diamond Bed and Breakfast (Bohol) for our vacation booking. I have already shared with you that I was able to buy a very good deal in the internet for a 3D/2N stay at Crown Regency Hotel with some freebies and I want to confirm my reservation and schedule there in order to avoid some problem when I get there. I also called Dao Diamond Bed and Breakfast hotel in Bohol because we will be there to have our Bohol Vacation too. I am expecting that these hotels will have plasma tvs because the kids love to watch cartoons before they sleep and having that kind of TV would definitely make them feel at home.

We can’t wait for our long awaited vacation and I am glad that finally we have bought our round trip tickets already so this vacation will really push through.

GT: I will Die for a DSLR

Posted on April 28, 2011 by zoan| 20 Comments

Last GT for the month of April and yes I am still making my blog entry, I don’t want to miss a topic here.

We are talking about gadgets, right? And so my choice for this week’s topic will be a Nikon D7000. Yes, as of the moment, I will die for a Nikon D7000 because I have been dying to own one for the longest time already. I own a point and shoot camera, a Canon IXUS 100 and I am satisfied with its performance. But now that I am becoming more of a photography buff , I realized I needed a DSLR. Pictures are memories. And I wanted to capture all the moments that are happening with my family and love ones. So please, let em own a DSLR.

Canon 500D

Posted on April 26, 2011 by zoan| 2 Comments

That is ME, but the camera is not MINE.

When we attended a reunion last April 17, 2011 I was able to use a Canon 500D camera.

While I was taking pictures I realized how good it is to have a DSLR camera. Though I am not good at taking pictures using it yet, I know when I have my own camera, I will eventually learn the how to’s and what nots in using a DSLR camera.

I am still thinking of buying one but I am on a tight budget right now so I will have to hold on to my dream of owning one until such time that I can afford to buy one.

Bohol Again this May

Posted on April 23, 2011 by zoan| 2 Comments

This coming May 7, 2011 one of my cousin will get married. So I will go to Bohol for their wedding. Yes, Marco and Donna’s wedding will be held in Dauis, Bohol and I will be there to witness it. Again, as a bridesmaid (it is always my role).

The last time I went to Bohol was 2 years ago when I visited my grandmother and let my son met him for the first time. And now, I will bring along my son again to visit his great-grandmother for the second time around. I can still remember our vacation two years ago, my son has to take bath four times every day because it was too hot, and we surely don’t need an infrared heater
for that matter. Summer is indeed a very hot time in islands like Bohol compared to our hometown in which we have so many trees and we are far away from beaches. And now that I will bring my son along with me again, I need to prepare his clothes which are suited for a hot place like Bohol like sleeveless shirts and shorts to make him feel comfortable.

I can’t wait for the upcoming wedding and vacation in Bohol this coming May.

Jb’s birthday gifts

Posted on April 21, 2011 by zoan| 1 Comment

Yesterday was Jb’s 4th Birthday and I can’t stop talking all about it. The children’s party will be held on Easter Sunday but we also prepare a little “salu-salo” here in the house for the whole family.

Jb received many gifts yesterday, a transformer (from robot to car and vice versa) toy, money from a blogger friend of mine, and a lot of toys from me ( I am his mom, remember?). Though Jb haven’t received baseball gifts, he is too small for those things yet, I am planning of buying one 6 from now I guess. Instead Jb enjoys his basketball ring and balls.

GT:Clothes to Die For

Posted on April 21, 2011 by zoan| 22 Comments

This week’s topic is CLOTHING to DIE FOR. And I would die for a Burberry Pink Trench Coat. I know I cannot afford one and I know I won’t be able to wear one unless I won the Philippine Sweepstakes today. The first time I saw trench and winter coats in movies and music videos by popular singers, I fell in love with it. I haven’t seen people here in the Philippines wearing WINTER COAT because maybe we don’t have Winter Season here but I hope someday I will be able to play with snow wearing a pink trench coat that looks like this:

JB’s 4th Birthday

Posted on April 20, 2011 by zoan| Leave a comment

Today is my son’s 4th Birthday. We have no plans; we just spend the day together with our love ones. We went to the city, we eat and dine in the fine restaurants, we bought something memorable, and we let him be. We didn’t have a house celebration because this week is Holy Week and though we don’t fast, we don’t feel like celebrating so we just moved the birthday celebration on the coming Easter Sunday.

As for today, we bought the foods we needed to prepare for the coming Sunday. And because it is a children’s pool party, we bought toys and loot bags for the kids, some balloons and party hats, piñata and other kid’s stuff. We didn’t include hair loss treatment in the list because it is for grownups, right? This is a kid’s thing. We are ready for the upcoming Easter Sunday and we will party like no other minus the Eggs.

Shirt-Pants

Posted on April 19, 2011 by zoan| 2 Comments

Yes, that is not Short-Pants. Shirt-Pants.

My favorite outfit for all time. And I think it always look good on me.

Wherever I go, I am always on the go and I always wear my fave outfit everyday, a t-shirt paired with jeans. And I always look like this:

You don’t have to wear skirts, short pants, dresses or anything fancy when you go out because all you need to wear is that something that would make you comfortable.

Fanatic Feast

Posted on April 18, 2011 by zoan| Leave a comment

Last week, we dine at Greenwich Valencia and instead of ordering a meal for each of us, we ordered the Fanatic Feast which includes 4 pieces of chicken, 4 serving of rice, spaghetti and 1 liter of Coca-cola for only 500php plus I guess. Then we get a free American Idol CD for ordering the Fanatic Feast.

The CD includes these songs:

*Superstar – Ruben Studdard

*Invisible – Clay Aiken

*When I See U -Fantasia

*Before He Cheats – Carrie Underwood

*Takin’ it to the Streets – Taylor Hicks

*Home – Daughtry

*No Air – Jordin Sparks (duet with Chris Brown)

*Light On – David Cook

*Live Like We’re Dying – Kris Allen

*Whataya Want From Me – Adam Lambert

*Sweet Serendipity – Lee DeWyze

Online Shopping for my Brother

Posted on April 15, 2011 by zoan| 14 Comments

I have learned to go online when I went to College because we have these internet access cards to our computer labs that we simply could not turn down for the fact that it is included in our matriculation fees. But it never occurred to me that I can earn online and shop online back then, maybe because I was just a student who doesn’t care much about internet and its benefits.

But when I became a mom, and started to run my own business, internet browsing has become my hobby and past time. Aside from reading and writing online, I also learned that I can just sit back and relax while shopping online. At first, I only buy t-shirts and dresses. But I realize that I could save money, time and effort if I get to buy all my needs and wants online. Even my brothers are beginning to learn how to shop online through me. Last week, my brother has been asking me about LG mobile phones that are available online because his 3 years old cell phone just died on him.
So I have been searching high and low at different classifieds in order to find something cool and perfect phone for him. And this is the closest I have seen.

Ayos Dito is the best area for online shopper, newbie or not, anywhere in the Philippines. They have guidelines for buyers and sellers alike. As a first time buyer, you may have doubts but do not be scared because the site has certified and responsible sellers. And back to my brother’s phone, we are still debating on what kind of contract LG mobile phones we should get. Something stylish but not too sexy and something that would be good for my brother’s budget.
