:PH#185: Bags (Camera Bag)

This is my favorite bag which is actually a camera bag which I bought a year ago together with my point and shoot Canon digicam. Now that I'm not working in office I find it very convenient to just carry this bag when I go to my kids' school and when I run errands such as going to bank, grocery and window shopping.

It's very light and I can carry my digicam anywhere without overburdening myself with heavy bag. It has locks so it's safer also. It has many compartment which I can put in my powder, small cologne, small comb,small notebook and pen, mobile phone, extra batteries, flashdrives, extra memory cards, hankie,cards, purse and my kids' candies. It's like having a wonder bag don't you think!

Wedding Flowers

Getting married is not a joke. It’s a serious thing and very important especially for the two people who chose to live each day of their lives together. As they say for rich or for poor, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health and everything that will happen in the course of their lives.

Preparing for marriage is not as easy also as it takes a lot of time, effort, planning and money. It also entails the help of family, friends and relatives to prepare important things needed in the ceremony and reception. You’ll have to plan everything from gowns, wedding invitations, entourage, sponsors, reception, food, cheap bridal flowers and many other things. Actually if you really think about this you’ll need a much longer period to ensure readiness in all aspects. I’ve been through it all and I’m lucky that I got help of my family, relatives, church mates and friends. They helped us through almost all aspects of preparations and we happily got through the celebration with ease because of them.

Well for those who are also planning to get married make sure that you have all the resources not only the money but of the people who will help you along the way. Make sure that you’ll be able to get some good deals in your gowns, menu and flowers. Now it’s easier with ordering some of these online like the flowers from Russ Wholesale Flowers which offers a wide variety of flowers for your wedding and some occasion at a very affordable price. Your flowers will arrive fresh from the fields where they’re grown. Always remember that getting beautiful and elegant flowers can be inexpensive also.

Greatest Gift on Christmas

With the ending of this month it’s now less than two months before the holiday season and as early as now people are starting to prepare their gift list and for those who have enough money they also started on buying gifts. It’s easier to shop early than to rush on December where shopping really gets annoying sometimes as people seems to come from everywhere. I must remind myself not to do it on the last days before the season as it will surely give me headache.

Despite of the storm that hit the country you can see people starting to crowd malls, there’s no stopping even if the country has suffered a lot in its economy. Life must go on so after the storm there goes sunshine. Now you can smell the air of Christmas in our environment, weather starts to cool down, lights suddenly surrounded trees, shops and houses, children are thinking of what they will ask for a gift and people are planning what to do during holiday seasons.

Preparations are different for each families but one thing is the same they want their loved ones to feel special and very much loved so they also started to make or buy Christmas cards and send them out early to avoid delay on holidays. Even if we have emails and we can send text messages to our loved ones it’s still sentimental and sweet to receive christmas cards because it feels very personal. Now for the busy people you can order these cards online at ChristmasCardsUk.com which provides classic types and personalized cards which you can add some personal touches. They even have recycled Christmas cards which is a very good idea for me as purchasing this card will also help preserve our environment.

In view of all this festive preparation for Christmas just always remember that the greatest gift you can give to your loved ones is your love. Material things just follow our thoughts of showing our love but the sweetest things are caring and loving. Thus the true spirit of Christmas is love.

:WW - Spiderman Loves Ice Cream!

Sneaking in the corner with spiderweb behind him

Finally got tired of hiding in the corner & sat at the bench

Did you know that Spiderman loves to eat ice cream? Of course he's also human and so is his imitator here - my son Josh who loves ice cream to the max! He's lucky that he can now eat ice cream after his sickness last week.

He sports Spiderman costume here in St. Audry's Costume/Halloween Party. He's very excited since Monday and when a friend brought me this costume we had it repaired and fitted to him in about two hours. He has other costume in his cabinet but he wants to wear a different one this year, we just lend the costume to other kids because nowadays it's very expensive to buy a new costume which you will only use for one day. Anyway Josh also uses his super heroes costume when he's playing.

Happy wordless though I'm wordfull! visit more entries here.

So Much Energy

I have to believe now that kids have so much energy to spend in a whole day activity. We were at Josh’ school activities for Halloween and I was so protective of him during the program always checking his back if he perspire because he couldn’t afford the perspiration to dry out on his back. The doctor seriously advised us that he should be monitored for one week to ensure full recovery from coughs and colds. I let him join the contest that he wants because he really prepared for that day. He’s not lucky though because he didn’t win but you can see in his eyes that he’s so happy even if he’s tired.

When we get back to the house he still plays with costume on. When I was about to go for our bible study he asked me if he can come with me and when I asked him if he’s strong enough he told me that he’ll sleep so he’ll get more energy. What can I say but yes to his pleadings, such a persuasive kid and he always gets the best of me. Before anything else I checked on Drew Estate to know what’s this thing is all about. I heard some people were talking about it and I’m just curious.

For Health Reasons

Do we really need to be slim and lightweight in order to keep up with the trends? Almost everyone is on the lookout for ways on how to be slimmer and lighter but I’m worried if they know the pros and cons of dieting. I’ve gained since I gave birth to my second child but really got so heavy when I delivered my third child 6 years ago. Since then no matter how I get into some diet plan I always get back to my weight after some months.

Now that I’m reading this alli review my findings seemed very objective as it really takes diet and exercise to get back into your old maiden form way back when you’re still single. If you’re going to ask me why I want to have a diet plan and shed excess pounds? I will honestly answer that it’s for health reasons, being beautiful is just a secondary thing.
