The Sims are back!

Posted on Sep 19, 2011 07:59:25 AM

This time via social networking site Facebook! I remember back in 2004when I used to spend countless days and nights playing this online game. My mom would reprimand me as I no longer sleep, my usual daily routine was play Sims, watch Smallville and play Room for Squares all day.

So this is what’s happening to my little girl now…she’s playing The Sims Social using multiple accounts. Should I worry?

Personalized Creations, lezgoooow!

Posted on May 5, 2011 10:14:18 PM

I have long been a fan of Personal Creations and browsing their website became a habit already. But since I live faraway from the US of A, my habit of window shopping just remained a habit. Until my sister who graduated this year told me that her boyfriend from Oklahoma’s coming home!

Immediately we searched for awesome gift suggestions from Personal Creations and she fell in love with the personal creations heart keychain!

See that Baby Shoes Keychain? that’s what she got for herself hihihi, she got her name engraved and her birth date. Wise choice because for one, it’s so unique and second, it’s on sale!

Want something personalized? visit Personalized Creations today!

Guiltless Luxury Shopping with Reebonz

Posted on Apr 26, 2011 04:52:48 AM

Shopaholics like me are ALWAYS on a lookout for sales. Good thing, they’re almost in every mall every pay day. But you know what I hate most about these sales? Everyone knows about them and before I get there, somebody already has the item that I’ve been eyeing for so long. Wouldn’t it be better if there are private sales in Manila?

Surprisingly, there is. Thanks to Reebonz, a company that will bring us, shopaholics, into the world of private sales, often with exclusive member only deals.

Since I am supposed to stay in bed* 24/7, my sister bought me a Hello Kitty Lap Desk with Cooling Fan like this:

It’s very perfect for people like me who needs to work but couldn’t get up because of health conditions – and yes, perfect for those lazy ones, too!

This Hello Kitty Lap Desk with Cooling Fan is foldable, and has a removable Hello Kitty mouse pad on the side, too girly! Any Hello Kitty fan will surely love this invention

Next plan? a Hello Kitty custom laptop, weee!

Fruit and Flower Basket for Moms this Mother’s Day!

Posted on Apr 1, 2011 12:18:33 AM

I would love to receive something from my husband and daughter this Valentine’s day. What is it? That I don’t know.

For sure some would think that I would love to receive jewelry, gadgets or any high ticket item out there, but really, all I want is a simple gift from both of them. One or more mother’s day gift baskets (so I can give one to my mom and mother-in-law), perhaps?

Since I am 4 months preggers, I’d gladly say YES to gift baskets full of fruits. It’s fresh and healthy for baby and me plus they’re readily available in supermarkets and online.

Proud Employee of Yellowduck, Ltd.

Posted on Mar 30, 2011 12:38:34 PM

First week of March 2011 I got hired as the corporate blogger for Bling Duck, a brand of Yellowduck, Ltd. Our company’s office is based in HongKong but we get to work here as freelancers! Dunno though if we’re going to stay in Duck vacation homes when we’re there, kidding!

The pay is also good and my bosses are very supportive so I’m quite lucky, eh?

Bling Duck is a flip flop brand. It’s a trendy, seriously fun – perfect for urban professionals. It’s still to be released in the market so we’re doing everything to promote the product.

How Safe is St. Dalfour Cream?

Posted on Jan 20, 2011 08:56:12 AM

I dunno. I heard a lot of women gushing over these tiny bottles of wonder but it seems too good to be true. I maybe looking for ways on how to get rid of acne fast but I will not try this product. A lot claim that their complexion improved within 5 days or less on the first use and why question is: isn’t too soon? I’m afraid that the so claimed “natural product” has high mercury content  and topical steroids that accelerate the healing of the acne and whitening of the face.

If that’s the case then St. Dalfour Cream is not safe to use.

St. Dalfour cream originally came from Kuwait but since it’s release, a lot has claimed that theirs are the original ones which makes it even scarier LOL

Here is an excerpt from GMA7′s news about the banning of St. Dalfour cream because of it’s high mercury content:

SEPTEMBER 2010 UPDATE

FDA bans 5 more beauty products for high mercury content

The Food and Drug Administration has outlawed at least five beauty products from Japan and Taiwan after finding out the items contained high levels of mercury.

In a circular, the FDA authorized inspectors to seize the five products, which it described as “imminently injurious, unsafe or dangerous.”

“(These products) contain heavy metal (mercury) exceeding the allowable limit of 1 ppm (part per million). These cosmetic products therefore pose imminent danger or injury to the consuming public and the importation, selling or offering for sale of such is in direct violation of Republic Act No. 9711 or the Food and Drug Administration Act of 2009,” acting FDA director Nazarita Tacandong said in FDA Circular 2010-015.

The circular was dated Aug. 31 but a copy posted on the FDA website only Wednesday.

She identified the five products as:

• St. Dalfour Beauty Whitening Cream (Tokyo, Japan)

• Beauty Girl Papaya & Hawthorn Essence (10 Double Whitening Speckles Removed Essence), Yudantang International – Taiwan

• Beauty Girl Ginseng & Green Cucumber (10 Double Whitening Speckles Removed), Taiwan

• Beauty Girl Essence Aloe Pearl (10 Double Whitening Speckles Removed Essence), Taiwan

• Beauty Girl Olive & Sheep Essence (10 Double Whitening Speckles Removed Essence), Taiwan

Tacandong also ordered food and drug regulation officers to “seize immediately the above identified cosmetic products for custody from all outlets or establishments where they may be found.”

Likewise, she sought the assistance of all local government units and consumers in “reporting all outlets found selling the above products.” — LBG, GMANews.TV

My aunt is using it and yes I saw some changes on her face. Hell, even her black moles have lightened! How scary is that? I don’t just know what’s going to happen after she stops using St. Dalfour Cream Oh well, I still trust my instinct because most of the time it’s right.

Anyone here has used/are using St. Dalfour Cream? Please share your thoughts and experiences

My Neutrogena Fine Fairness Range

Posted on Jan 17, 2011 10:45:47 PM

Last December 2010 I joined the Task 3 of Neutrogena’s Fine Fairness game in Facebook. I never thought I’d win but luck was on my side perhaps so guess what? I got included in their edited list of winners, yay!

I got the cleanser, toner, lotion, cream, brightening UV moisture, serum and deep whitening mask. The whole range costs about P4,900 Not bad, really! I just hope that this is the perfect acne skin care treatment for my skin. Oh well, best of luck to me and my badly hurt fez.

On Weddings, Wedding Cakes and Wedding Rings

Posted on Jan 11, 2011 11:09:49 AM

Weddings especially beach or garden ones get me teary-eyed. It’s one thing that every woman wants to experience: to have the chance to walk down the aisle in veil and the most gorgeous gown. It’s not part of our plans but if my husband asks me again to marry him, this time in the beach or garden, I’d gladly say yes.

Last weekend, it was our first time to make a wedding cake. The order was from a couple scheduled to be wed in Monte de Portofino, Alabang. I didn’t know who made her gown or she was made to choose between diamond or cubic zirconia wedding rings, all I knew was they chose PH Bakehouse for their cake and cupcakes

Beautiful, isn’t it?

LF: Student Laptop Insurance

Posted on Dec 13, 2010 10:57:12 AM

Do we have student laptop insurance here in the Philippines?

My graduating sister is getting herself a new laptop but I’m afraid that she might lose it somewhere. Getting a student laptop insurance is the best solution, I guess. I just don’t have the slightest idea if it’s available here in the Philippines. Is it?

The cost of a laptop is no joke, especially if the student will buy it using her own money so getting one with a student laptop insurance is one wise move, right?
