Carpet Installed

Carpet installation was one of the many improvements that we did before we moved in to this house that we bought  5 years ago.  We decided to ripped off the old carpet because it was filthy and we did not like the color anyway.  We hired a carpet company to do it s for us.

Fastest Acting Insulin Medication

If you are a type 1 and type 2 diabetic person, you are probably  aware of the insulin medication called Humalog. Humalog is believed to be one of the fastest acting insulin medication that will work in about 15 minutes after you  inject it.  You can  buy Humalog online but beware of those  online store that sells them as they may give you the fake ones.  Based from what I read on the website, there is no  generic Humalog available.  Elli Lilly and Company are the ones that  solely manufactures or produces  this insulin medication.

Some people  are looking for ways to buy cheap Humalog online and MedSaverCard or RxBattle are some of the options where there are cheap Humalog but as what I have said above, beware  of the fake ones that they might issue you.  It must be very hard to be a diabetic because you  have to maintain the medication and  watch your sugar intake to avoid complications.

K is for Kangaroo

Kanga and Roo is my  contribution  for ABC Wednesday.  Photo was taken when we visited Pittsburgh Zoo last year.

Chicago Honda

My husband favors Honda more than any other kinds of vehicle. Based from his experience, Honda is the most reliable vehicle there is.  Right now our Honda Accord is almost 6 years old but we never have any problems with except  a very small crack windshield during the winter but it was easily repaired  with a windshield kit he bought from the store.

Anyhow, he is aways browsing the net for some good deals on vehicle especially Honda.  One of the website that he stumbles upon is the newest   Honda Dealer in Chicago.  They have tons of listings and I like how they  put a link  where you can apply for an auto loans in their website.  That's pretty neat, you get to browse their   selection and you will also have a chance to see if you will qualify for a car loan.  It is like hitting two birds in one stone.

Anyhow, the Chicago Honda Dealer has the Honda CRV LX SUV that I like.  The price is not as high as I was thinking.  Oh before I forget, not only you get an access to loan application, you can also check out their maintenance section for oil change and other services.  Whoever  manages their website is doing a pretty good job in putting  the things that a car hunter  usually looks for.  

Personalized Cufflinks

key to your heart locket and cuff linksIf you are a person who love personalized stuff like me, you would love to shop for gifts at Red Envelope.  You can buy   personalized cufflinks like the one below.  They have  great selection of  gorgeous gift items for both men and women and even for  children too  Their gift selection actually is applicable for all generation so if you are planning to get somebody a special gift, check out what you can get at Red Envelope.

Nurse Bling

I took this shot yesterday at my SIL's home.  That's a cute nurse bling isn't it?

Clone Watch

replica watch Patek Philippe CalatravaWould you be able to tell which watches are original and which ones are replica watches?   Well, it is hard to tell really but if you want to buy  watches that looks  original but they are only clones, Replica Mania is the best place to get it.  They have a huge selection of different watches from different brands and designs.  Replica watches are made so gorgeous that you will have a hard time  telling that it is just a clone of the original ones.  Replica Mania carries Japanese  and Swiss watches so if you  are  fond of those kind of watches, you may check out their collection.  


I remember when my husband told me how much he paid for the  watches he gave me, I almost dropped on my  seat lol.  I told him that he could have just gave me one of those panerai replica as it looks great too.  But I guess when  a man wants to impress a woman, the price doesn't matter.  For me, it was a lot of money  to pay  for  watches because if you convert it into our currency there, you can buy  big things already.  Anyhow, I am blessed to have a very generous husband.

Tory Burch Sandals

He'ya everyone, are you ready for some equestrian talking?  Well, let's start with the old gringo selection of boots at Infinity Shoes.  Those kind of shoes are great if you love to ride on a horse,  go on nature trekking, or even  going for a date with a cowboy.  Those are the scenes I have in my mind whenever I see those kinds of shoes.  

Tory Burch Sav Sandal Silver LeatherOn the other note, I found some  very cute and chick tory burch shoes and sandals at Jildor webpage.  These two are the ones  that I like among their selection.  Those would look good on skinny feet which I don't have unfortunately.  I have  a set of wide feet so basically  slip ons doesn't look good on my feet.  But I honestly love the style and designs.

Tory Burch Sparkle Jelly Thora Sandal Island PinkShoe Inn is sponsoring a $200 worth of gift card every month  for those lucky winners who would join their VIP Club.  Being a VIP club will give you  a lot of benefits like an exclusive  email   of their sale, a birthday discount, and an email of their special event.  So if you are feeling lucky and you love shoes so much, this is your chance to grab this  rare opportunity.

Snap Dragon

NEW LOGOWe are back to below freezing temperature so I am kinda bummed out about it.  I thought that  we can enjoy the Spring already but we are still stuck. sigh.  Anyhow, the flower above was taken last year when we visited my BIL's house.  I think those are  snapdragon, my SIL Michaele has a lot of those with different colors in her garden.

You are the Boss

When I was still working an office job, I always wonder  how it is like to run your own business at home and you  can be the boss.  Working in a big institution and with different bosses around can be s much stressful.  Not to mention the  everyday commute that you have to do from home to  the workplace and vice versa.  Do you feel that way too sometimes?  I am lucky to have found a job where I can just  do at home because I can take care of my family and   do my online tasks in my own convenient time.  

If you are  however a business minded person, the Specialty Merchandise Corp or SMC would be best for you.  With SMC, you can sell products that are made well and reasonably priced.  The good thing about SMC is that you never had to deal with  handling and shipping the smc products on your own as they do it for you.  All you need to do is build a cientele, get their orders, and submit it to SMC  and they will deliver the products on your behalf.

You can read the SMC reviews  to find out  the   products they sell and  what are the necessary steps to become a member of this prestigious company. They have an smc coach that  gives the training  on how you could start on this kind of venture.  You might have read some smc corp scam article  online but those are  dealt with accordingly.  You should know the  company first of what they really are and you will be amazed of how flexible this home based business can be.  You are the boss so you don't have to worry about being yelled at or  things like that.  Check the links for more details on how smc wholesale and other stuff are being done.

Dog's Loyalty

I am sure that most of you have watched this on TV or on youtube but I still want to post it here. It just amaze me how this dog is so loyal to his friend that he wouldn't leave by his/her side.  These dogs  are the ones that survived from the tsunami, the other one is hurt so the other dog stays with her/him.  Now I understand how our dog Champ, did not got when our other former dog tried to flee.  We raised  Champ since he was a baby so I think that he established his loyalty to us.

The above video, reminds me of the  movie I watched a couple of months ago,  with Richard Gere as a star.   A movie that would  make you cry while you're watching it.  Hachicko or Hachi A Dog's Tale - is sad movie depicting about the dog's love and loyalty of his master who have found him when he got loose from his cage and basically raised him.  When Richard Geere suddenly died, the dog still goes to the train station where he used to wait for his master, he did that for nine years until he died.  

According to what I read, this movie was based on a real life story.  So if you have time, try to search for it  on youtube, you can watch  it there or buy a  DVD, it's worth your time and money.  

Camera Critters

Chronic Renal Failure

Maintaining a stable level of phosphorous in our bloodstream is very important to ensure that other bodily system is healthy.  For those who are suffering or suffered  from  chronic renal failure  however, it is hard for their body to stabilize the  level of phosphorous  in the bloodstream.  Just like any irregularities in our body, an unregulated  level of phosphorous can cause a serious issue that would deter the  function of other bodily system which can lead to chronic renal failure.

Renagel is one of the medicines recommended for chronic renal failure.  You can  buy renagel in a reputable online pharmacy, winch is I think is the cheapest way because the competition level in the online market is pretty fierce.  You can even  buy generic renagel if you can't afford to pay the amount of the non-generic one.  Market competition is an advantage to us consumers because we can find stuff that are  less in prices  compared to the amount we have to pay when there is no competition at all.  So if you want to buy cheap renagel, search for it online and you will find a good deal.

Post Viral Fatigue

After my husband got sick, he feels tired  so easy even if he got over his sickness already.   I was thinking, could it be a   viral fatigue recovery?  I found a very  informative post viral fatigue article online that explains how syndrome like my husband's occur during  sickness recovery.  It said on the article that some people will experience a maladjustment to  their body resulting to a viral fatigue syndrome.  I am not sure if this is the case with my husband but  based on this article that I am reading, it could be.  

Every person  has different  body metabolism, so for some they might return to their  pre-health condition naturally after the sickness but for some, it's a gradual process.  For instance, my husband and I are different when we get sick.  If I get sick, I can still function and do normal things but with my husband, he is just tore up and wouldn't want to do anything.  I cope up with illnesses really quick but he doesn't, so your recovery will depend on how your body metabolize.    Please  visit the link I have provided in this post if you are feeling so lousy in the past few days, you might be suffering from post viral fatigue syndrome.

Saint Day

I snagged this photo at Ms. Burrito's teacher's webpage. This was taken during their Saint Day celebration.  This was also the  celebration of Fr. Dean's birthday, the priest at our church.

Selling Candles

Through blogging, I have learned so many things.  Reading other people's blogs is very entertaining especially if you came across to  some very interesting hobbies like candle making.  I envy those people who are blessed with talents and skills like that  because they can just create  products that your family can use or you can also give it as a gift or you can venture into   selling candles online.  I know a blogger who makes her own candle and sell it in her own etsy shop online.  

I do however  have an option of joining Scentsy where selling candles is one of the things you can do.  As a consultant, you will have a free website for three full months then after that you pay $10.  You also get a free online workstation where you can run and promote your business.  So if you are  a business enthusiast who wants to venture out in networking and selling, this is a good business opportunity for you.  This isn't only  within the US but you ca also expand  it internationally.  

I can still remember the satisfaction that I get whenever I do a lot of sales back when I was still a student.  I used to sell beauty products and my clientele includes some of my teachers and some of my classmates and colleagues who  comes from a well to do family.  It's nice to be able work part time whenever you are free.

Elegant Gowns

Highslide JSIf you are looking for an elegant gown to buy for you to wear on a very special occasion, you can never go wrong in browsing the selection at DressesPro website.  You can order it  through the stock in their selection or have it design as you like.  You just have to give them  time to do it for you.  I asked my five year old daughter to pick some prom dresses that she like in the  website and she picked these Sweetheart Neck Sequin Ball Gown that are available in colors  purple and blue.  Right now, you can save  5% savings from the original price.  


Highslide JS
The evening dresses selection are  also gorgeous.  Ms. Burrito picked this one out too, a Goddess Sweetheart Neck Sequin Dress which you can customize  and  pick  the color that you  want.  You can narrow down your search through  selecting the event, design, style, and color.  They also  provide women shoes, bags, dresses, and even  a makeover.  One last thing, they  offer free shipping, free custom size, and a free color change.  So come and see their elegant gowns.

NC

NC? North Carolina? nope, it's New Cumberland. I wasn't able to get the whole picture (which was hard on a moving vehicle) but I tried.  One of my BIL lives  in New Cumberland. 
Hope you guys are feeling better, unlike me who feels like crap wahhhh.

Seasons Recovery

I my family, we never had any problems with drugs but  alcohol  was part of the reason why  my father and brother are now departed.  We  tried to  help my father to stay away  in drinking too much alcohol but we never  succeed.  My bother wasn't that bad but it eventually led to  his death because he drove while  in the influence of alcohol.   In the remote area where I grew up, professional help for those addicted to alcohol is impossible.   Almost all men there  drink alcohol during leisure time and even women do.  That practice just goes to generation to generation unless you leave the place.  

There is no such thing as alcohol treatment or  drug rehab over there and I feel bad especially for the younger ones.  Over here in the US, there are so many  options to take your friend or a family member who is suffering from addiction.  There are  so many  rehabilitation centers available  all around US just like the Season Recovery Center.  They have  an outline of programs to help  patients in treating their addiction which includes formal training planning, checklist based training execution, peer treatment  team review, and more.  Please check them out if you have someone that needs a professional  help in treating their addiction.

Quilting and More

When I came here in the  US, I was fascinated by quilted products like blankets and stuff.  I always want to know how they do it.  I found this video online which tackles patchwork supplies, quilting, and mixed media textile arts.  So this is it, the very   main source I need.  Are into  quilts and other artworks too?  Find out more by visiting the link.

Street Light

I took a couple of shots of this street light while hubby was pumping air to our car tires a couple of weeks ago.
I hate to go to bed this early but I took a heavy does of nyquail  and it is now kicking up.  I will be returning your visits if time permits tomorrow.  Thank you so much for dropping by and for leaving your thoughts.

Commercial Playground

My kids misses those commercial playground that the military base  would put up whenever there is a big occasion.  No matter where the  location of the event is, they always put up those big inflatables and other fun stuff for the kids to try.  They can't wait till their Dad  assemble the  trampoline that I bought online.  I was originally buying a swing set but I changed my mind when I saw the trampoline on sale.

Gadgets

Watch out gadget lovers, there are so many cool gadgets available at Howard Technology such as mimio, Howard notebook, desktop, and more.  Isn't it amazing how there is an added gadget available at the market for consumers to buy?  Brilliant people are constantly  producing  cool stuff that would   help to  do  things easier.  Believe it or not but I think I am the last people to have an iPhone lol.  

Ohio River

We paid my brother-in-law Rick and his wife Jill a visit last Sunday. On the way, I tried to take pics of the Ohio River, the water was very high.
Thanks for visiting folks.  I am floating at the moment as I took two  dayquail liquid gels meds  to dry up my sinus.  Oh I hate being sick, it really drains your energy.

Skin Care

My husband has been bugging me to  visit  the skin doctor as I was complaining of my rashes forming under my neck.  It gets very itchy sometimes.  The  medicine that the doctor prescribed to me last time did not work, well, it did at first then  the rashes came back again.  I found this skin care guide and other articles online on what you should to do to avoid  spreading the bacteria to your skin and all that stuff that you can do to have a smooth skin.  Check it out ladies when you have time, it's a good read.

Real Estate Agents

Are you looking for something to amplify your earnings? Do you think you have been working and working yet your income has never been enough? Perhaps your job is not that financially rewarding despite the hard work. Thus you should reconsider a new path to reap gold and millions. This is possible by venturing into the world of real estate. Once you learn the tricks of the trade in home buying and selling, in no time you will be harvesting tons of money.

The first thing that you should know is to learn how to locate a good house. And what is a good house when talking of home buying and selling? Location-wise, it should be on a safe neighborhood, and preferably close to shopping centers, school, workplace, police station, hospital and the likes. People look for houses which are accessible to these most visited places. To add to this, home buyers usually look for a house which is near tourist attractions or relaxing environment. If so, you may want to check Poconos homes for sale as this is the best place one could find in  PA.

A smart home buyer and seller would not buy a highly developed and furnished house. There are many options to save, such as buy a so-so house and have it furnished later on. By doing so, you spend less in buying and get more when you sell it. And as long as it is a Poconos real estate, you will surely have many prospect buyers.

Hosting Guide

I finally  got to update the  other blogs that my friend gave me.  I got so busy that I neglected to write anything or even visit it.  The spam comments that is flooding through my email is  turning me off  with that one.  I am not sure if I would continue it or not, for now it is free web hosting and a free domain for one year so I got nothing to lose but to try it.  It's funny too because one day, I was trying to install some widgets on the said blog but I got banned.  My friend say that my IP  might have been banned so she contacted the wet host provider.  Thanks to Mommies Shy and Ruby for checking it out for me.

While  looking at the web hosting directory at Web Hosting Rating, I found and  read the list of the best 10 cheap web hosting services for this year.  Web Hosting Rating is one of the largest independent web hosting directory that features  a thorough review and information about the major web hosting company providers.  There is a hosting guide that you can read if you want to  know which company best suits  your website's needs. For me, I  love to be able to hold on to the  web host provider whenever  you have inquiries or some problem arises.

J for Jar

My Filipina friend here in the area (not a blogger) gave me this beautiful vase. She collects jar of different kinds and she said that she bought a set of this but then was delivered alone. The store said that they ran out of stock of the other ones so instead of paying for shipping to return it back, she just gave it tom. 
Thanks a lot ate Agnes.  Thank you also for those  of you who frequent this blog and my other blogs, every visit you make  and comments left is always  appreciated.

Mailbox and Beyond

The weather is getting warmer each day although  there is an occasional  rain. We drove by at the store yesterday and saw some plants   for sale already.  All their gardening stuff are  on display which means that  in a week or two, people will be starting to enjoy doing their outdoor activities such as gardening.  Spring is the start  when people  beautify their  lawn and other  exterior  stuff that contributes in  adding  curb appeal to your home such as address plaques and address signs.

Personalized Pineapple Aluminum Door MatI found a new website where you can find just about anything that you need for your home lawn and garden beautification.  Their selection of home address plaques  are gorgeous and there's plenty of them.  You can get a personalized  address plaque or a personalized door mat at their website.  The door mat that I bought  a couple of years ago is getting worn out so I am planning to buy a new one.

Aside from the above mentioned products, you can also find birdbath, sundials, tea and twilight lanterns, bird feeders, outdoor faucets, doorbells, and more.  They will also  include a free solar light if your purchase amount reaches $84 for any White Hall products. So check them out folks at Mailbox and Beyond.

Shadows Here and There

Smiling SallyI busied myself clicking the camera while hubby was driving last weekend. We were invited to a birthday party at Chuck e Cheese.

Hubby asked: "What's so special  with those clicks"
I simply answered "Shadows" lol.
He blurted "Addict"
LOL.

Caribbean Breezes Resort and Hotel Accommodation Selection

We have tasted the very first warm day this year. My children and I spend more than an hour playing outside building sand castles in their sandbox and blowing bubbles. My daughter asked me about what we would be doing for our holidays this summer when school is out. I told her that Daddy is still looking for a place for us to go whee we can all have fun.

How about you folks, are you thinking of a holiday getaway? I have heard that Negril Jamaica is a beautiful area as it has one of the top ten beaches in the world, the Negril Beach. Stories say this white sand beach is seven miles long.

You can check out the selection of Jamaica hotels and resorts in this area if the Negril Beach area appeals to you. There are many resorts located right on the beach. My children would think this beach is just one huge sandbox. With so many miles of beach, Negril Jamaica, has enough sand for everyone. Maybe on a relaxing vacation like this my freaking migraines would leave me alone.

Now if you are dreaming of vacationing on a beautiful beache in Jamaica, you might also enjoy the area of Ocho Rios. There are a great selection of Ocho Rios hotels and resorts in this busy tourist town and in the nearby tourist town of Runaway Bay that are located on a beautiful piece of the Jamaican coastline.

I browsed online to look at some of the different resorts in Jamaica and I found some good all inclusive vacation deals available for this summer.

So if you haven't decide where to go for this year, you may want to check out the above mentioned places. I know my children would just love a beach vacation with all of the sand to play in.

Shop a Little

I received a $10 dollar gift certificate from one of the stores near the area so I bout me and the kids some shirt. It paid half of the three items I got. I like the email marketing that most stores offer because you get to know their sale and received some promotion coupons once in a while.  I think email marketing is very effective because you get to  reach out for customers easily.

Round Building

A quick snap  I took when we were driving along the highway of McKnight Road  in Pittsburgh, PA going to  Chuck e Cheese located at McIntyre Square Drive.  I am not sure what  building is this for but it looks pretty.  I didn't capture the whole look though.

KIA Sorrento

My better half  has been enticing me to get us a  bigger vehicle but I am not ready to give him   my go signal just yet.  For the meantime, he keep browsing online and read reviews about certain vehicles such as Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and lately he like the reviews and rates of the  Kia Sorrento.  He said that price wise, Kia Sorrento wins and it has   loads of cool features that will suit the need of our  family.  Hubby said that it would be a nice one for me to drive, hmmnnn let's see.  

If you want to see the new inventory of Kia Forte, just click the link and you will be  directed to the exact page.   think the Kia Forte  selection are also beautiful.  Just take a look at this Kia Forte EX Hachback, pretty isn't it?  But anyhow, if you are looking for a new dealership of Kia, check out the River Oaks Kia in Chicago.   They have a huge selection of different  Kia models.  This Chicago Kia dealer has their own service center where you can have your car's maintenance from their reliable technician.  They offer different kinds of  Kia maintenance such as oil change, coolant flush, transmission flush, engine tune up, tire rotation, and  more.  Check out the site for more details on how to make an appointment.
