Online Advertising with WebVisible

Inspired by the movie that stars Julia Roberts, I made this blog with the same title and just add the word blog. Because of my hectic schedule in the office and in the family, I have a hard time maintaining this site. A friend suggested to engage the services of WebVisible to gain visibility and popularity on the web. I browsed the site today and found it the right avenue. It is a Software as a Service company and a worldwide leader in local online advertising. I want to give it a try.

Wishing for a Log Cabin Vacation

The cold wind of December made me lazy to go out for parties . Today I got two invitations from an old friends but the rain outside compelled me to stay home. I was just healed from colds and I do not want to trigger it again. In times like these, I am wishing to be on a Hoseasons log cabin vacation and be warmed by the fire place. This is one accommodation I have not tried yet....to be on the mountains and commune with nature.

Balikbayan Box


"A 150 kg. package?" I was kind of shocked as well as excited when my hubby told me that the package from my sister-in-law in California arrived. It can not fit the trunk of our car that he was able to hire a public utility jeep to take it to my mom-in-laws house. You couldn't wait for another day to we opened it yesterday after my mom arrived from her work. Whew! Thank God for the shoes, apparels, beauty products, nuts, chocolates, juice and other stuffs. I'll the picture later since I was not able to bring my camera last night. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! God bless you Genelie for being so gracious to us. Our Christmas would truly be merry!

Online Shopping for Christmas

As much as we wanted to avoid Christmas rush... we can not do so because of some rush purchases also. Last year, I did my Christmas shopping on the first week of December hoping to avoid the crowd at the mall but I had last minute cooking tasks and I was forced to line-up the grocery counter .

Last Sunday when we had our regular weekly grocery , I spent almost an hour to finished marketing since the mall was too crowded. We bought Christmas gifts for my kids school party and it took us one hour before our number were called for the free gift wrapping. How I wish we have local online stores here in our city.It would be a great convenience for the consumers. In the US and other developed countries, shopping are mostly done online. You can order just anything through the web from food , apparels, furniture, gadgets ... you can order online wine cases for your parties and gathering!

Christmas is just two weeks away, so why not do your shopping today? Or better yet order everything you need for Christmas at the click of your mouse. Avoid Christmas rush and Enjoy your day!

Christmas! Christmas ! Christmas!

The Spirit of Christmas is every where. The lights at the streets are lighted-up , the malls are already crowded with people buying gifts and the children started to sing Christmas carols ! Tonight we will go shopping for our kids clothes and gifts for their Christmas Party. My hubby is busy preparing for our church Christmas Party. He's out now looking for acme lighting equipment for our variety presentation on the eve of December 26. Are you ready for Christmas ?

RT : Body Painting


GMA, ABS-CBN or TV 5?

Lol! I found the TV network Survey amusing . Why? Because each TV station claims that they are the No. 1 in terms of viewing ratings. GMA, ABS-CBN and TV are Are declaring themselves as winner. I guess each network have their own survey agency to publish their network leads. in my own opinion the best way to judge who is the real winner is by the awards each TV program receives – Awards that are given by prestigious award giving body here and abroad. What do you think? If you are the judge? What network do you think is the no. 1 ?

Struggling with Winter Season

"What? Negative 18?".... this was my reaction when my friend in London told me about their weather in UK. They wanted to escape from the freezing snow blizzard in London and fly here in the Philippines but his application for vacation was not approved. They are only allowed to take vacation once a month and he already consumed it when he went home last summer. He said that the streets of manchester apartments where he leaves were almost buried with snow which compelled him to just to walk to and fro the train station when going to work. I wonder who would they spent Christmas in the midst of this kind of weather.

House Improvement

Whew! To undertake house renovation is costly nowadays! I received the statement of account from the supplier of my construction materials and I was shocked to see that for a simple house improvement I was already spend P 40,000.00 for materials alone. Now, I am thinking to forgo the replacement of our window glass jalousie with sliding powder-coated window since we do not have budget anymore. I rather use Cheap venetian blinds than spend another P 20,000.00 for the windows.

Week-end Reflection and Shadow Sunday



Goodbye Samsung Genoa

" I really do not know how it was lost!", this is what my son told me when I asked how his cellphone was lost. He said it was maybe stolen from his pocket while riding a public jeepney or was stolen but a classmate. The last time he remembered was he was checking the time through his cellphone because he forgot to use his wrist watch. TsK! Tsk! Tsk! That was my birthday gift to him last may. I guess, I have to but another one for him .. and I am considering a China Phone this time. What do you think?

Laughter is theBest Medicine

I used to real a lot of books, and magazines, and one of my favorite is the Reader’s Digest. My mom paid for an annual subscription of it and every month we will receive a copy of my favorite paperback. As exciting as all the facts and the knowledge I gained from the variety of topics I read from it, I always find a breather in the Humor section specifically the “Laughter the Best medicine”. I would laugh alone inside my room and just enjoy the day at the jokes given by different contributors worldwide

Indeed, laughter is the best medicine and science prove it! It has been found that laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain and conflict. It brings back balance to your mind and body, lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, keep you grounded, focused and alert. Wow! If this is the case then, everyone should take every opportunity to laugh and be in good health. It takes a lot of muscles to frown than to smile. So my to all my friends out there, smile, laugh and enjoy life more. “What soap is to the body,laughter is to the soul” - (Yiddish proverb).

Blue Monday # 1 - The congressman is a Champ!



Pacquiao and Margarito before the fight last Saturday!
Congratulations to our Boxing Hero ...Congressman Emmanuel " Manny" Pacman Pacquiao

November 14, 2010

Manny Pacquiao is a True Gentleman


At five-foot-11, Margarito had a 6 1/2-inch reach advantage and a 4 1/2-inch height advantage but Manny beat him anyway. It was a fight light DAVID VS GOLIATH... but Manny was small but terrible. He left Antonio Margarito's face looked like pounded with a gold club. His right eyes swollen and his left eye was slit. He was supposed to knocked out Margarito but his coach instructed him to take it easy. Manny truly is a true gentleman... he said after during the interview... Boxing is not for killing !

Manny, you made every Filipino proud of you!

We just simply love our Kids

Being married for 16 years now has its rewards. In spite of the many obstacle, struggles and problems of parenting, we would like to be honest that we really enjoyed it. Raising two bouncy kids at home is really like getting into an life changing adventure that’s getting more and more exciting as you continue to be in it. Just seeing our kids growing, learning and applying the things we taught them are simple gifts of encouragement for us to be good examples for them and continue to be an inspiration as they face realities in life. It’s not easy, yes, but it can be made light the burden if what’s in your heart for your kids is love.

What’s more exciting is that as you teach your kids about life, amazingly, they too teach you more about it! They teach us about using our imagination more often. As we get older, we begin to be so busy and forget to dream dreams. Remember, without a vision or life’s dream, you begin to die. Children teach us to imitate. We may think that they are stubborn and not listening to us, but children really do watch our actions and emulate them. And how about trust? Our lives become complex as we grow older. Yet to the children, they don’t need to worry about anything since they have their parents to worry about it. How about us? Can we trust God to provide us with things we need? Those are just some of the things we learn from our kids. Having them in our life really changes it forever. We just simply love them for it.

Celebration of Halloween


HALLOWEEN is the next most celebrated holiday second to Christmas. It’s a time for showing off your costumes and having fun with family and friends. Although the celebration has no such Christian spiritual features unlike the celebration of Christmas (celebrates the birth of our Savior) and Easter (commemorates Christ’s resurrection) but most Christian celebrates it just for entertainment. . Some Halloween activities could be considered anti-Christian, and would, therefore, be avoided. Christians would want to avoid demonic associations, for example. With these things in mind, it would be appropriate for Christians to consider carefully their activities on this holiday.
