My husband is a real NFL fan and he showed this site to me where he orders different NFL Merchandise. If you have a son, I am sure this cute NFL uniform sets will look cool on your toddler. How I wish I have a baby boy as I will definitely order one for him.



Not only do they sell uniform sets but you can also buy sports equipments, hats, caps, masks, and NFL uniform set team locker. This locker will be a great cabinet for your little boys for their sports stuff or it can be use as a display cabinet for your boy’s NFL collectibles. That is what my hubby did. He collects different kinds of NFL merchandise and memorabilia and he used the locker as his display cabinet. Check this out:


This is my husband’s new favorite site as he definitely can get enough of all the NFL collectibles that he can get from NFLUniformset.com. He even has it as his homepage. So for all you NFL fans out there do check out this site for all your NFL collection needs.

This is a post review brought to you by the site above.

Investing in precious metals like gold and silver is one of the investment options that my husband and I are really considering. I have been doing some reading and I learned that gold is a safe and stable investment. Since it is a rare metal, it will not depreciate in time and even has a high re-sale value. Since gold is also universally accepted, I can easily sell it for quick conversion to cash.

After doing my readings, I checked out the site of Monex as I learned that they are the number one gold and silver investment dealers. The experienced staff of Monex can give me tips on the best investment deals and since they have good network and a steady contacts, I am assured that with their help, I will get the best deal that is being offered in the market.

In this time where we are faced with economic recession, it is really wise to look for other investment options so we will be assured of our future and most especially our kid’s future.

A few months ago, my husband and I went on a three-week tour to Europe. It was indeed a great experience, something that I would say everybody should try at least once in their lifetime (I would have wanted to go back to Europe but it is so expensive there that I don’t think we will ever be going back in the next 50 years. LOL).

But our Europe adventure was more exciting because of the numerous experiences we have every time we leave one city. We always have to run just to make it to our train ride or plane ride. Like when we were leaving Rome for Paris, we have to take a plane and since it is a budget airline, if we don’t show up then our tickets will be cancelled and forfeited and that is P17,000 worth of money already. If only I have known that we will be late, I would have purchased travel insurance so even though we show up late at the airport, with the insurance, we can at least get a part of our airfare or we can rebook our tickets I think subject to rebooking fees.

We left a little late actually than what we initially planned as we were so tired during our last day in Rome. Then I did not notice also that the 8 AM bus doesn’t stop at the airport and we have to wait for the next bus which is at 8:15 Am that will take us to the airport. It was 7:45 AM already and I was already panicking because our flight leaves at 8:55 AM. I saw a couple checked out the cabs parked near the bus stops and they hesitated to take the cab because it is a bit pricey. Good thing I am a fan of the Amazing Race show so it gives me an idea to share the cab ride with them so we end up paying Euros 10 each.

We barely made it to our flight, but I guess we are still lucky since we are arrived at the airport a few minutes before the check-in counter closes. Now that is one experience, right.

As per my doctor’s advice, I need to take one week of bed rest. I had a check up last Saturday and a hemorrhage was found in the ultrasound. My doctor said that I should really be careful so it will not lead into miscarriage.

I was at the hospital last Saturday for almost the whole day for all the routine checks, ultrasound and laboratory exam that I have to take as procedure for all pregnant woman. Though the ultrasound was covered by my HMO, how I wish I have NC short term health insurance so all the laboratory exams and medications will be covered. My medicine alone cost 1800 already and it is good only for two weeks and I have to take it for three months. Oh well, I don’t mind spending as long as the baby is safe and healthy and that is what we are really praying for. Please pray for my safety and the safety of our baby. I really need all your prayers.

A week before our princess’s birthday party and I can say that everything is almost ready. Hubby just needs to finish the tarpaulin for the party and the lay out for the personalized balloons that I ordered from my co-MBAP, Apple and send them for printing the latest on wednesday so we will be sure that it will be finish before Saturday.

All that is left for us to do is buy the party attire that we will be wearing for the party. I actually bought one from Causeway but I really look fat with that dress (oh well, it is either the dress is really not that flattering or I just really need to get weight loss pills).

Hubby will be off on Wednesday so hopefully we can use that day to go to the mall to buy our party attire. Good thing I already bought our daughter’s party wardrobe before we left for KL and SG so I only have to think of my and hubby’s clothes.

Most of the U.S. observed Daylight Savings Time yesterday. Is it easy or difficult for you to switch your body clock? Do you suffer from jet lag when traveling?

Yes, I am very bad with jet lag. I hate it every time I go to Canada because of my problems with jet lag. Since Canada has a 12 hours difference with Manila (so the time in Canada is the exact opposite of the time in Manila), it will take me 1-2 weeks to get use to the time difference.

If you had to pick one place in your town to bring a tourist, where would you go?

I will take the tourist to Bohol. It is a 45 minutes flight from Manila. Bohol is my favorite because it is not too commercialize as compared to Boracay so it is the perfect place for a very relaxing vacation. Also, if you get tired of the beaches, there are still a lot of places to visit like the Loboc River and go on a river cruise, chocolate hills, visit the tarsier, or go dolphin watching.

When you travel away from home, do you miss it?

Yes, I miss my family most specially.

November 1 is All Soul’s Day. It is one of the holidays that are being observed by Filipinos. This is the time where we visit and pay respect to our dearly beloved who past away already.

We we’re not in Manila during All Soul’s day but my relatives still took time to get together and visit the grave of our aunt and uncle and our cousin who past away already. All Soul’s day in the Philippines is like a reunion for families as almost all the members of the family will take time from their busy schedule to be with their family in paying respect to their dead relatives.

As for me, this is also a reminder of how precious life is. Like now, I am doing some reading about colon cleanse and other ways to live a healthy lifestyle. Now that I am pregnant, I am really very conscious to take care of my health because my ultimate dream as a mom is to be able to see my children, my grand children and even my great grand children grow up and be successful in whatever field they choose.

My friend has been so stressed out this past few weeks because they need to move to Arizona in a month. She is happy actually with the move because they are relocating since her husband got a better job offer in Arizona. But I know moving houses is a really stressful task and add to that the fact that they have two kids to take care to.

Luckily, I heard about Mesa apartments from a friend and I gave the link of their site to her. The site is really helpful as my friend can easily search list of apartments for rent from this website. It even shows photos of apartments as well as floor plans so my friend can easily make a decision on apartments that they can rent in Arizona.

Now I can see her smiling again after I gave her the site. I am sure she will find a nice new place for them in Arizona with the help of Mesa apartments.

Yesterday, hubby suddenly said “Let’s go to Tagaytay.” I would normally have said yes so our daughter can try her new breeches when she goes horse back riding and I would really like to eat at Bag of Beans, one of our favorite restaurants there but I know I can’t say yes. My doctor advised me to have a bed rest for a week because it was found in my ultrasound that I have 0.96 cm of hemorrhage found in my uterus so I have to be careful so it will not lead to miscarriage. And besides even if I am healthy enough to travel, I don’t think we have the time even for a short trip to Tagaytay. All our Saturdays are packed with our daughter’s birthday celebration and every Saturday and Sunday, one of our friends’ kids will have a birthday party also. And after our busy November, I am sure we would still be busy with the coming of the holiday season. So Tagaytay will have to be postponed for now…maybe in the next few months.

This picture was taken one evening while touring around the Petronas Tower. I love this picture as this is the first time I have seen the Petronas Towers at night and it is so lovely to capture it in pictures. The twin Towers looks like cute giant cake from afar.

I still have the first generation of Iphone and I am thinking if I should get the Iphone 3G during the Black Friday sale (I have been saving up and I have not been touching my Paypal account so I can shop at Buy.com during their sale period. LOL).

So what’s the difference between the Iphone 2G and the new Iphone 3G?

3G is a little bit bigger than the 2G but is lighter (3G weighs 133 g compared to 135g of the 2G version). The display for both 2G and 3G stays the same: 480 x 320 3.5" multi-touch display. They also have the same storage capacity at 8 GB and 16 GB and the camera resolution is still the same at 2.0 megapixel camera. As for the connectivity, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is available for 2G while 3G has both connectivity available with the addition of 3G Internet connectivity that is faster when browsing the net.

Judging by the specifications, there is really not much difference between the 2 versions. The only improvement I can think of is the 3G internet connectivity which I rarely use anyways. So do you think it is worth it to upgrade?

Because of the effect of the global recession, majority of companies are looking for ways on how they can cut their operational cost. One of the ways that companies thought of to help them save thousands of dollars is implementing the Fleet program of Corporate Reimbursement Services, Inc.

What CRS does is they help companies manage the reimbursement of their employees for using their private vehicle to perform their function for the company. By doing this, company saves money with the need to provide employees with company owned vehicle thereby reducing cost on the purchase of a new vehicle and in maintenance cost of the vehicles also. Also, by getting the services of CRS, companies are assured that all their employees have a valid driver license with the regular motor vehicle record checks being done my CRS. Vehicle safety training is also provided by CRS to employees.

It is also a win scenario for all the employees since they will be sure that all expenses incurred in the use of their private vehicle in the performance of their duty to the company are all reimbursed and have been computed using accurate reimbursement rate.

The fleet program is indeed a win-win scenario for both the company and the mobile employee.

Last Saturday, we visited my daughter’s Pediatrician. One thing I am proud of with my daughter is that ever since she was a kid, she was so brave every time she had a check up. Every time her doctor asked her to lie down in the exam tables (which I think they got from Claflin Medical Equipment because the quality is so nice and comfortable), she will gladly obey. But I guess her doctor is also good in convincing her because she will be rewarded with a lollipop or a candy after her check up. Even if it is her schedule for vaccination, we never had problems in making her sit still and wait for her doctor to finish the injection.

Just like last Saturday, when she was asked to sit down on the exam table (though she played right away with the toys sitting in the exam table also), her doctor did not have a hard time checking her ears and her breathing because she followed every instructions that her doctor gave her.

I am just so proud of her. Really one brave girl like her dad.

In just two days, we will be leaving for Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. This is a very short notice trip and I only have a week to prepare – book flights, hotel accommodations, plan our Itinerary, etc. so I am in a little panic already. Most of you might know that I really plan ahead every time I went on a trip so I feel really unprepared for this trip.

So before I look for acne treatment, I decided to make a research first so I can finalize our IT in Singapore. We will only be in Singapore for two full days. So what can you do in Singapore if you have two days?

Day 1: Visit to the Singapore Zoo. The zoo is open only until 6 PM so hopefully we will be able to wake up early (even if we are coming from a late flight the day before), so we can visit the zoo as soon as it opens. We will probably be here until it closes at 6 PM. After a visit to the zoo, we will be meeting with our friends at Sentosa. If we will finish early, we might try to catch the last dolphin show in Sentosa before meeting our friends there at around 8 PM.

Day 2: Visit to the Jurong Bird Park. This will be our first time here so for sure we will be here until the park closes also. Then we will go check out the malls in Orchard road. I am sure hubby would love to visit the toy store in Takashimaya Mall and I am planning to visit one store that will make my heart jump in excitement. LOL. I checked and most of the stores closes late (between 9 PM – 11 P) so we definitely have time after our trip to Jurong Bird Park.

I am so excited already. Now if only I can just wave my hand and all our stuff will be pack in our luggage and we’re already ready to go.
