Greeting Cards

Halloween is over and Holidays season is around the corner. It's time for Christmas present shopping, planning your Christmas goodies and don't forget to send those holiday cards. We always make Holidays cards with our family photos in it, it's traditional and it's good to send to family and close friends. This year we have our Christmas card from www.peartreegreetings.com, it's my mother-in-laws who introduce it to me. She send us a very pretty Holiday card last year and I love it so much that's why I ask her where she have it. I just hope we don't pick the same color and paper design.

Treats

Trick or Treat! Well we have a some treats left, I think there's fewer kids this time than last year. We bough 1 big huge bag of mix candies days prior to Halloween and I started on sneaking on it since. There's one variety in it that we love so much, it's a coconut covered with chocolate, the combination is so good so all of it goes to my basket lol. My husband is assigned to give candies this year, well everything went so fast and we still have candies left.

Office Furniture

My husband is redoing our home office since we are mainly doing paper works for his small business in our home office. We wanted to cut cost and overhead and over spending in a small business are not a good idea. Since he is remodeling our home office we also wanted to get new home office furniture to match the new color and set up of our home office. I need more big filling cabinets too so it's one of my priority. I'm now waiting for this things to come together and I already order the office furniture and filling cabinets.

Oh Time!

Didn't we just celebrate Thanksgiving the other day and Christmas yesterday? Oh boy time really flew so fast. I think I have to advice time to take time on smelling the roses and don't rush changing the day to night ;-)
Halloween just come and go in a snap and now where talking turkey! Then Holiday season will come and go too fast. So many things to be done in so little time. Yes I am complaining and asking time to take it easy or should I?

RV Insurance

I really love the idea of having RV unfortunately it's not allowed here in island. If ever we are living in the mainland I am sure that we will have RV since my husband and I shares the passion of road trip. We love checking out places and RV is just so perfect vehicle to enjoy going to places in the comfort of your little home. I just learned that RV insurance is different compared to auto insurance, I thought it's the same it's a mobile home. If you own an RV check out here at www.goodsamvip.com for more information about RV insurances.

Chili Dog

My other half is craving for chilidog for 2 weeks now. He bought hotdog and bun and asked me to make chili for him. It all started when he stayed home one day and watch travel channel that features the "best hotdog in the US". Today he ask me to make him chili dog again and don't forget the fresh onion toppings.
Every time he ask me to make him something, I ask him right away if what channel he is watching. Three weeks ago he grave for burger, home made burger! I can't imagine whats next.

Cheap Health Insurance

We are buying are own medical insurance because my husband is self employed. It is really eating a big chunk of his income then we still end up paying out of pocket on other medication. We really think that medical insurances are riff-off, aside of paying the premium rate, expect that it will increase every year even you are healthy and not using it. I keep on searching for the right cheap health insurance for us that will cover what we need like vision, dental and other important stuff. Luckily I find one that covers what we need without spending too much on out of pocket.

Gardening Again

I'm just loving the weather lately, it's getting cooler and raining almost everyday. This means that I have to do my garden soon in fact I already have seeds to plant and some greens too. I still don't have the mango seed that we wanted, I wish I could find one at farmer's market.
We don't like the local mango or the green round ones because it doesn't have a good taste when its ripe. We're looking for Mexico or Philippine mango because it's sweeter and it's has a good taste when it's ripe. I don't want to buy seedlings mangoes cause we never really know if it's sweet kind or what kind it is until it gives fruits, so I want seed from a ripe fruit at least I know what I get.

Pet Supplement

I saw a long haired teacup Chihuahua at the park last weekend, it,s so cute. I think I just fell in love with a long haired teacup Chihuahua and plans to get one soon. I was looking for pet supplements online in case I will need one and some pet supplies too. I better be ready and know what I need before I get a dog. Every time I shop online for pet stuff, it just made me more excited to have my own dog but I'm still waiting and looking for the right one which has a beautiful tan colored hair.

Challenge

I challenge my husband that I can make home cook meal for us on $20 per day for 2-3 person. I told him we don't have to buy fast food meal, we have to stick on home cooking. Hawaii is not a cheap place so I bought bulk meat at wholesale store since it's cheaper per pound compared on other store chains, some fruits and bulk veggies that can stay long on freezer like spinach, baby carrots and other veggies that can be used frozen. I also bough fresh veggies and fruits at the farmer's market. So far I'm sticking on my budget with a healthy home cook meal and I have little extra bucks left.

Acne FREE Skin

My cousin used to have problem with her skin, she gets acne most of the time. She is pretty but the problem is her stubborn acne that still out her natural beauty. I suggest an online acne treatment review site so she can choose the right product for her needs.
I have not seen her for awhile due to our busy schedules, she happens to stop by our place yesterday and I get so surprised of her clear beautiful skin and acne free. He hugs me and thanks me that the online review site help her get the right acne treatment for her skin type.

Who's Jack o Lantern?

It's a myth that Jack is a lazy shrewd farmer who use the cross to trap the devil. Another version of the myth says that Jack was getting chased by some villagers from whom he had stolen, when he met the Devil, who claimed it was time for him to die. However, the thief stalled his death by tempting the Devil with a chance to bedevil the church-going villagers chasing him. Jack told the Devil to turn into a coin with which he would pay for the stolen goods (the Devil could take on any shape he wanted); later, when the coin/Devil disappeared, the Christian villagers would fight over who had stolen it. The Devil agreed to this plan. He turned himself into a silver coin and jumped into Jack's wallet, only to find himself next to a cross Jack had also picked up in the village. Jack had closed the wallet tight, and the cross stripped the Devil of his powers; and so he was trapped. In both myths, Jack only lets the Devil go when he agrees never to take his soul. After a while the thief died, as all living things do. Of course, his life had been too sinful for Jack to go to heaven; however, the Devil had promised not to take his soul, and so he was barred from hell as well. Jack now had nowhere to go. He asked how he would see where to go, as he had no light, and the Devil mockingly tossed him an ember that would never burn out from the flames of hell. Jack carved out one of his turnips (which was his favourite food), put the ember inside it, and began endlessly wandering the Earth for a resting place. He became known as "Jack of the Lantern", or Jack-o'-Lantern.

Get Slim

Holiday season is almost here, it means lots of food. There's a lot of family gatherings and party happening during holiday season and we cannot avoid yummy food that give us extra weight. So it's better to take slimming pills now and start to lose weight and continue on during the holidays so we would not pack on extra weight.
I better start shopping for the holidays because I already saw some good deals online. I will also make some list of goodies to make and so the menus. Some of my husband's family will spend the holiday with us so I'm pretty excited.

Halloween Costumes

BOO! Halloween is almost here. I get so curious where did Halloween really starts and why. Upon my diggings, I came to the Celts where it originates. They are believe to be pagans and praise on spirits. They said on October 31st midnight, the soul wandered back on earth, some are good and some are bad. They come to make costumes as protection to the bad spirits, they said the scarier your costumes the better protection you get because you scared the bad spirit away from you.
Our Halloween these days is modernized and mix of different cultures. The history of it is celebrating the harvest / all saints day or hallow eve ( where Halloween word came from) / all souls day. It's a pagan Celts and Catholic mixed in one.

Mobile Homes

Our niece in Mainland plans to get mobile homes for them. They are living in Texas for good and there are mobile home manufacturer near where they live now. This is one of the photos that she showed us. I found it so cute and wants to have one too.
If only mobile homes are allowed here on our state, we probably owed one now. Hope they will change the law and allow mobile homes here. Maybe we move to mainland to own one of this beautiful home.

Pineapple Pie

I made this Pie for my husband, he love Pineapple so much that he want it on bread or when I make Banana bread, he wants a hint of pineapple on it. I made him a Pineapple Pie yesterday and he love it.

Pie Crust:

4-8 tbsp cold water

Blend salt, sugar and flour in a bowl. Cut cubed chilled butter and add to flour using blender or food processor, add water. Divide dough into two for pie crust and other one for top.

Filling:
1 can Pineapple crust on natural juice
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cup milk

Set pie crust and pour in the filling, cover with top pie crust, make four slits for steam to escape. Bake for 30-40 minutes on 375 or until the crust is slightly brown.

Truck Chrome Trim

We still have our old Dodge truck and we still love it. My husband wants to do some details work on it, like replacing it with chrome trim, the tail light and other stuff. He told me that he ordered online and will be here before the weekend. He is so excited to see his old baby done.
He showed me the online site for chrome trim and they cater for all auto brands. After I saw the chrome stuff, I am now contemplating on changing some details on my truck too.

Halloween FUN

I am YoVille addict along with my twin brat Vikai and my cousin Byang. We were like freaks and so busy on our Yoville life 24/7, seems like we're not hooked!
They just came out with new Halloween stuffs, so we were like crazy decorating our houses and partying.
This is one of the party we went to, my twin brats was swallowed by the "Fly Trap" plant cause she just disappear and the plant is about to swallow me too, HELP! This is so much fun espacially the bouncy.

Appetite Suppressant

There are times that we just eat and eat even though we are not hungry, or we feel hungry so fast. Sometimes we crave for sweets or salty foods that can be the cause of weight gain. To keep fit and counteract hunger, try using appetite suppressant. It will help you control your appetite and also help you lose weight. It also has some benefits like boosting your levels of serum serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sleep and appetite control, which may help address many of the emotional issues overweight people face, including binge-eating and depression.

Officially FALL

How we knew when it's officially FALL season? Well, when it's getting so BREEZY then Fall is here. It's time for us to secure our stuff outside or it will be flown away by the wind that gusted from 20mph.
My husband was surprised last night when the strong wind pounded our wall, he asked me where those winds came from and I simply said, "well maybe it's officially Fall."
Buckle up buttercup! It's getting cold, breezy and windy, the day is shorter like 12 hrs daylight and 12 hrs night and I'm smelling the cinnamon, pumpkin spice and nutmeg! Holidays is almost here.
