WE LOVE ED HARDY
on Nov 20, 2009When I met my husband, I do have to admit he doesn't have the finest taste in fashion. In fact, he never did care about clothes as long as they're clean and appropriate for work. Besides his wardrobe full of long-sleeved work shirts and trousers, the...



E2EG, CUM NSYD: TEXT CODES IN 2 WORLDS
on Nov 18, 2009Just a few days ago, my husband and I went to see Mama in Queens Mall in New York. Usually, I have my cellphone with me, but this time, I left it at home. So I used my hubby's phone to text my mother where we at and asked her where she was. A few min...



LUMINEERS FOR A BRIGHTER SMILE

MY AMERICAN DREAM HOME
on Nov 11, 2009For almost 4 years now, my husband and I have been nestling in this small yet cozy condo unit we bought in New Haven. Although the size of 1,000 sq. feet is enough for us, accommodating all the stuff my husband had a hard time parting away from, we c...



HONESTLY, DO YOU REALLY LIKE TWITTERING (OR TWITTING)?
on Nov 9, 2009I had been into Twitter since last year and I only have 466 followers to date. Today, I am still wondering how other people could gain 10,000 followers. Did they pay that tool which gets you followers for a fee? Or did they go to each user's page and...



CEILING FANS FOR A SALON
on Nov 9, 2009In my previous posts, I have dished about my cousin's new spa biz. it Recently, it was formally opened and launched to the public for serious business. The spa is absolutely looking great with plush interiors reminiscent of the French Provincial styl...



WHY PACMAN IS ADORABLE
on Nov 6, 2009I confess I am not a fan of Manny Pacquiao. Just because I do not like to watch violent sports such as boxing. But as a Filipino, I cannot help but take pride of this man whose diminutive frame, and lack of academic education had propelled his own co...
