My husband just got a new TV that we can network with my laptop and other electronics but the bad part is, it does not come with network cable so I did look online and order it. The moment we got it on the mail he wants me to connect everything which I did and it work so well and so convenient for us. I wish my husband is a little techie so I will be waiting for him to do the networking.

Log Cakes

On our up-coming wedding anniversary I want to make a log cake which will represent our 5th year and counting. I want to play with fondant cream cheese frosting will be perfect for this.
Since I really wanted to play with fondant, I might make a little round cakes for my husband's birthday. I want to make red velvet minis with fondant. Let see what will come to my mind and I will surely post some updates.

Campaign Signs


My sweet mother-in-law sent my husband a package two weeks ago. When he open it, it was a cheap campaign signs for his truck with his business name and contact number on it. She is so sweet that she wants to help us to get more business and we really appreciate it. I was thinking about it for awhile and suggested the idea to my husband but we are procrastinating that we always forgot to stop by the sign shop. But thanks to Mom and she us this from online.

I promise myself that I will do good on working out and exercise so I did. I just wish that I will have more time to do it at least 3-4 times a week, too bad I'm working and I can only do it once or twice a week depending on my work schedule. I love working out in fact I was having fun this morning, after I did my running at the park, I did my walking by the shopping center and it was so fun that I don't want to go home. It was the longest walking I ever did that I don't want to stop. I am looking forward for more successful workouts. I am also looking for some workouts that I could do indoor for the days that I don't have enough time for long walks, maybe I will go back on dancing because it really work on me the last time I did it. The guilty part was, after all those sweats, I cave in and indulge to a fudge brownie, anyway it's 70 calories cause it's a pumpkin brownie.

Cohiba Cigars

I wish that everybody survive the Holidays. Well in my case, I did. As a wife I am in charge on gifts and you want to nail it or at least close to the perfect gift for a certain type of person. For my husband's business associate who smokes I got them cohiba cigars. I had tried it last year to a few people as Christmas present which they love it so I had it on my list of gifts. I admit that sometimes it’s hard to think about gift ideas, so after the Holidays I am already making plans for next year and looking around for presents.

Tinsel Tree


For 2011 xmas, I put up my tree as early as first week of November. I twicked my tree twice and bought new ornaments (which is not a good idea) though I made a promise to myself that I will not buy as much ornaments this coming xmas, maybe a few ribbons will do :).
I made the tinsel tree on the right inspired by the picture on the left. I will make another one about 36" tall especially for my Radko ornaments that was given to me by a very nice lady friend from work. I will also make a tinsel tree for next xmas.
The story of me making the tree started when my friend show me her cute tree which is the one on the left made of artificial pine tree, really cute. I went around town's shopping stores and craft store but was no luck. Went online looking for the same thing but still no luck. After xmas I was shopping around for discounted xmas trims and hit the idea of making one. So I made one for me and was happy, though my next project will me more slender tinsel tree and a little bit taller. I will surely made some more to give to my friends for next xmas.

Jackets

My sister-in-law and her husband love to ride bike with her friends. Once a month they go interstate, they even went cross country one time when they were assigned overseas. She has all the gears like alpinestars jackets, most of her jackets are leather but she also have for cold weather. They will come visit us on June, I better be ready with my riding gears because she wants my husband and I to join them riding around the island. We are excited to see them.

The Xmas Trees


This are the images of my Xmas trees since I got married 07, I am so happy that I have most of the picture to make a collage but I am so sad because I think I lost the picture of my first 07 Xmas tree. I love the simple white Christmas theme of 2008, each year has it's own character. 2009 is simple as well, I like how I lay the balls in clusters.
2010 is a little bit messy and confused, we're just too busy wrapping the present for the kids, buts it's the most memorable Christmas of all since the family is complete with the grand kids.
2011 is quite and wonderful, a new beginning for us and I love my tree, I have two designs. The first one is with peppermint ribbon, I tweaked it with a new ribbon because I want to get the "granny smith apple" color from the ribbon and supposed to be "red and white" tree but it ended up looking so different and so overly decorated but I still love it. Next year will be another winter wonderland theme.

Spring Deco

Since we have a new and beautiful place I can now decorate by the season and make our little home pretty. Here are some of my "Christmas Ornament and decorations" that I made as a spring deco. It will be place on top our island counter so it look like a spring basket. I love the way it look. I still keep our decoration on the minimal side but a little bit on elegant side.

My niece has a bad migraine, she seek help from different Doctor until one of them advice her to be a patient at Lubbock migraine centers. She is lucky because she live in Texas. Most of the migraine treatment centers are located in Texas but hopefully that they will have some facilities at different states to accommodate patients out of Texas. They have helped patients with migraine including my niece. She's been in treatment for a few months, she is happy with positive development.

Candy basket


On of my candy basket for a friend. This is actually for their kids, yes bad me, I'm trying to feed the kids candies. This is just a simple one I made trying to fit into my budget, I know the kids will love the candies that I have for them. I'm just hoping that this will not melt before they get it.
I handed this over last week during our Christmas party and told my friend "just a little something" for the kids and she was cracking up telling me the story about "Filipinos" saying "a little something" which actually means a lot LOL.

Internet is the best invention ever that made our life easier. Like for instance when we are looking for answer quickly, I always go online and look for it. You can do banking, shopping online and so on. But the best thing I love doing online is comparing prices of anything I need including insurance. Any insurance we need that we could save money like auto, home and most especially the "Term Life Insurance" that we need to protect our family in case something will happen to us. It is so convenient that you could compare rates from 12 different insurance firms.



I love wrapping something for friends and family. For this wine I found a Christmas ornaments that I used, I don't know exactly what it's called but I always love putting something that will encorporate my gift baskets.
On my candy gift basket I used candy cane this year, last year I used small ball ornaments that goes well with my theme.

One of my girl friend got recently engage and she got a Scott Kay trellis semi mount ring, it's so beautiful. I am so impress of scott kay jewelry designs; it's simply beautiful and elegant. They are getting married on summer next year and will get their wedding band at scott kay. Scott Kay does carries elegant jewelry; they give you the option to design your own. They have watches, designer, collection and bridal as well. I am looking for this beautiful Everlon and palmetto cpllection.

Radko Ornamnets


The Christopher Radko ornaments that my friend gave me. I was so surprise and of course very happy girl when I'm unwrapping the ornaments that she gave me. I thought she will only gave me a couple but she gave me so much. Radko is a collectible item and pretty pricy ornament because it's made in Poland. I was so happy and I'm checking for a small tree just for Radko.

Compost Bins

I always do compost year round and I own one very reliable composters. I also have compost pails that I use when I'm cooking to put the peel of veggies, easy way to make trips to the composter bin. I have enough compost to start my veggies garden on spring time. when I run out of compost I go to my friends ranch because she have a few composter bins that we keep working on one weekend a month for our garden.


I'm getting crazy with Christmas, I officially say the Christmas is my favorite season of the year. I love the spirit of it, the family, the cheer and the happy sight around. I love Christmas so much and so my Christmas tree that I've tweak it three times and I still keep buying ornaments, in fact I am planning to get a small artificial three about 2 feet tall just for a special ornaments that my friend gave me. She gave me "Christopher Radko's ornaments".

Scanners

If you work in sales or if you have a retail business, it is nice to own a reliable barcode scanner especially this busy Holiday season. Some of our scanners need to be upgraded because it freezes during the busy key days. We have long line and our scanners are not working after awhile, we ended up keying in the merchandise barcode manually which is not fun. We learned our lesson from last week’s big sale so we ordered new scanner for our store.

Puppy Floral

Oh my friends! they are awesome. This is what one of my friend gave my other friend as a "thank you" for being such a nice friend to us. He made a nice bouquet of flowers with a cute puppy made of white flowers. It's so cute and it looks like a puppy. Our girlfriend was so happy and really appreciate the bouquet.

I never thought that pickpocketing can happen without them touching you or your wallets and cellphones. This thieves has this device that can scan the information and copy your credit card number and so on. To prevent this from happening to you, you have to have a protection like electronic pickpocketing device that will prevent them from stealing your information. This is really good not just for businessman but also for ordinary people like us.
