reunion with old friends

August 31st, 2009 · No Comments

Last Saturday I attended our high school reunion.  It was fun to see them after 19 long years.  We did a lot of catching up and literally passed around custom business cards so we could all get in touch even after the event. Unfortunately, I don’t have one. I’m a stay-at-home mom so [...]

my dream dining room

August 31st, 2009 · No Comments

I don’t think I would buy anything major for the house this year.  But that is not reason enough to still scour the malls and shops for ideas and future buys.  In fact, I’m seeing a lot of beautiful furniture specifically dining tables and chairs that would fit nicely in my not so new [...]

fashionable eyeglasses

August 31st, 2009 · No Comments

Whenever I go to the mall, I can’t help but try on shades and eyeglasses.  But I never buy.  They’re just too expensive.  Unlike Zenni Optical’s $ 8 Rx eyeglasses.  It just makes you think twice about spending almost triple the amount of you’d normally shell out for a pair of eyeglasses at Zenni.  It [...]

healthcare

August 31st, 2009 · No Comments

There’s so much buzz about healthcare and Obama’s proposal.  I’m not really that familiar because I’m not eligible for it.  Anyway, I still do think that we all need health insurance or any other kind of health care.  If you’re in the market for one, consider BLUE CROSS TONIK.

are you gothic?

August 30th, 2009 · No Comments

All I know about gothic is the architecture.  Perhaps I should try to find out more about Gothic or Goth and perhaps join one of those gothic chat rooms you find on the internet. Anyway, whatever I find in my research, it would surely be interesting.  I mean, I’ve studied makeup and I’ve come across [...]

loving football

August 30th, 2009 · No Comments

Not everyone can play football…Physically, that is.  With fantasy football, virtually every person in the planet can now surprisingly play, manage, and interact with other football players over the internet. If you’re a football fanatic, you would surely love this.  There is practically everything you need–from draft tools, stats and you can even do [...]

health insurance

August 30th, 2009 · No Comments

There’s so much hype about health insurance nowadays.  I guess it’s just right.  Because one can never go wrong about getting health insurance for your family and yourself.   And if you live in the Nevada area like Reno and Las Vegas, it’s easier to scout for the best insurance deals through Nevada Health Insurance Quote.

It would be nice if everyone had access to a gym.  Imagine a world of healthy men and women.  The gym in our building would open next month and I plan to maximize my membership.  But if you live in Albuquerque, you need not fret and be sad.  There’s now Open Gym in Albuquerque NM [...]

disney orlando

August 26th, 2009 · No Comments

Who is your favorite Disney character?  I know that my little girl’s favorite would have to be Mickey Mouse.  She smiles and laughs whenever she watches Mickey Mouse on television.  You could just imagine if she sees him in person.  She would freak out but in a good way.  I wish that she would be [...]
