Crushes Crushes and Crushes

This afternoon, I totally freaked out to see my husband reading my blog. The worst part is he was reading my post about my Sony walkman and my high school crush. Then he kept interrogating me about my crush 10 years ago.

He just stopped when we were watching the 21st Awit Awards. I can't blame him the show was really good and full of celebrities. (I'll blog the details later). Anyway, after the show I had a chance to have a picture taken with my celebrity crush, Christian Bautista.
I can't really stop myself from smiling. Even my husband is teasing me. He knows I have a crush with Christian Baustista.

Anyway, I have to get rest. I'm really really tired. I'll blog the event tomorrow. Good Night!

Advance Screening of Twilight

Yup, we got a chance to watch the Advance Screening of Twilight last night at Robinson's Galleria.

My first Sony experience is with my Sony Walkman

It’s really good to reminisce the past! Looking back, I can only smile to those silly things I have done. But what I can’t really forget is those happy times when I was in high school – the most memorable part of one’s life, agree?

Since during those good ‘ol days, mp3, mp4 and iPod, among others, were just in our imagination, all I have to boast is my Sony Walkman. I had it for more than two years. Talking about quality products….

Since I’m the only one, I think (lol), who had this “hi-tech” gadget that time, I instantly became popular at school and many befriended me. And guess what?! One of them is my crush…. (giggles). At that time, I really felt lucky to own a Sony Walkman, through it, I don’t need to swoon over him so he’d just look at me.


My classmates and friends are literally falling in line to borrow my walkman. Yes, that’s really true! (my school was just a small one and belongs to the “never-heard -schools”). When it’s my crush’s turn to borrow it, I’ll act as if I don’t like him to borrow it. I even told him that I can’t enjoy listening to my favorite musics/bands anymore because they’re always borrowing it.

Luckily, my strategy worked and he’d plea to borrow it. After some pleas and refusals, I would agree but on one condition. Of course, he’ll ask, “what’s that?” I just simply replied, “We share”. In short, we both listen to my Sony Walkman, and I, at that time, was very very happy to be with him, beside him, actually…

There were also some times where I’m not listening to my professor but to my walkman, instead. My crush would even sit beside me, we’d hide the walkman and share the earphones. Oh, that was heaven for me! Honestly, I’m giggling right now remembering those times (lol).

Those were the days… (sighs)… I just wish I still have my Sony Walkman now and not just those pictures…Actually, I lost it since we have been moving homes a lot of times, so it was misplaced. But what we have until now is the Sony VHS at my mom’s place and surprisingly, it’s still in perfect condition, though we seldom use it now due to the advent of a much sophisticated and multifunctional DVD’s.

Anyway, it (my Sony Walkman) definitely gave significance in my life just like the Sony’s World’s First World’s First Slimmest Camera with Optical Image Stabilizer: Cyber-Shot T77, which is not just slim and stylish but also handy that I can carry it anywhere, anytime especially during blogger's event like the Sony Expo event.

Special Gift for a Special Little One

Now that I have a gift for my niece, it is time to look for a perfect present for my nephew. Evey year, this is my dilemma since I don't have an idea what my nephew likes.

Earlier, I was planning to go the mall to do my Christmas shopping. But before hitting the mall, I checked online for some ideas and gift suggestions for boys. Then, I saw a site called MEGA Brands toys.

MEGA Brands toys offers affordable toys that provides stimulating creative experiences for children and families. They have a wide selection of toys for girls and boys for all ages. They have games and puzzles for the whole family. Name a toy brand, they have it. They have Disney Princess, Dora the Explorer, Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Mickey Mouse Club, Marvel, Pirates of the Carribean, and more. Their site is very user friendly. You can search for products based on age, catalogs, brands, price, categories and award winners.

My personal choice is the Mickey's Clubhouse with mickey mouse cars. It is a 48-piece play set which you can build and rebuild your very own exciting fantasy playground. From slides and spinning platforms to wheeled contraptions and a lookout point, transform the Clubhouse into lots and lots of things using the magical Silly Switch. This toy also comes with instructions or you can download it from their site. I think this is a perfect gift for my 6 years old nephew.

So, if you are looking for a gift for a special big kid in your life, check MEGA Brands toys website now.

My Prize from Sweetytots and A Horseshoe

If you still remember I mentioned before that I won Sweetytot's giveaway. And this morning, I finally got my prize. Here it is:

Since I don't have a child yet, this will be a perfect gift for my niece this Christmas. Thanks again Sweetytots.

Anyway, that's not the only thing I received from the mail. Last night, I received my invitation from a well-known company (I'm not sure if I can disclose it now). It is for their event this coming Saturday.



I was expecting an envelope since they said they will send us an invitation. But to my surprise, it is a horseshoe display inside a wooden box. It was really cool. I just can't wait for Saturday to come. We will be in Batangas. Yipee!

My sister Kiss with our nieces Arielle and Frances

Yesterday, my sister, my husband and I went to Antipolo to visit our nieces. Frances (on the right side of the photo) is currently sick. She attended their school fair last Saturday, and she told me that she rode a ferris wheel. She said she was too nervous, she even made a sound toog toog tooog tooog like a heart pounding so fast. The way she did it was so funny. Too bad we did not stay for long.

Anyway, we really hope we can go to Dino's Alive next week.

Educational Videos Can Also Be Entertaining

When I was I kid, my mom hired somebody to tutor me. During those days, when my private tutor arrived, I was pretending to be sleeping. My tutor was too old, and a slow speaker which made me fall asleep every time we had our home study. I can still remember how boring it was.

Children are so lucky nowadays because there are online learning networks available to them. Brightstorm is one of them. Brightstorm is a Web video site that brings bright, talented teachers together with students who need some extra help. It is designed to help high-school students deepen their understanding of important subjects and better prepare for college through video-based courses created and taught by expert teachers from across the country.

The courses are presented in short entertaining ways. Each course also includes interactive quizzes, facts as well as materials like practice problems and study guides to use to gain a deeper understanding of the subject.

With so many advantages they offer, I signed up. And I was impress on the he professionalism of the content and how they present the course materials in a format that most teens will find pleasant and possibly enjoyable.

Brightstorm is successful in combining value and funness to educational effectiveness, and professionalism of content. Brightstorm clearly demonstrates that educational videos can also be entertaining.

Princess Bride Game for My Niece

The last time I was in my cousin's house to visit Arielle, my 8 year old niece, she was very busy playing a game on their laptop. And this gives me an idea on what should I give her on Christmas day. Since, Arielle is fond of games; I think Princess Bride Game is perfect for her.

From the movie the Princess Bride comes this 5 pack of Princess Bride PC/MAC Games. The game combines simple but classic animation with a number of puzzle, arcade, and logic games featuring your favorite Princess Bride characters. The Princess Bride Game combines spectacular animation with the best of casual, narrative and adventure games - all based on the classic hit movie. The objective of this game is to help Princess Buttercup and Westley manage thier life on the farm, defeat dastardly villains, survive the Fire Swamp, concoct miracle remedies, and vanquish the evil prince in order to live happily ever after.

I've seen great reviews about this game. And I heard that the game is among the first to be designed by women for women. I'm sure that my niece will love this game.

For the mean time, I'll check their site to view the demos of Princess Bride Game.

Miss Conception

With so much distractions on my mind, my husband asked me to join him in watching a movie. We watched Miss Conception starring Heather Graham and Tom Ellis.

Miss Conception is a movie about a woman whose biological clock is a ticking time bomb. Graham plays Georgina Scott, a thirtysomething yuppie, with a baby-phobic boyfriend, who learns that she has just four days to get pregnant. Unfortunately, Zak (Tom Ellis) and Georgina had a fight, and Zak sets off on a documentary shoot and hopes that she'll cool off in his absence. So desperate to have a baby, Georgina spends more or less every scene trying, and failing in finding a man to get her pregnant before it's too late.

Miss Conception is an okay movie. I like Graham's accent. But it made me more worried about me - not having a baby. I know my husband's intention of watching this movie is good (which is not to think of my problems), but it really scares and worries me more.

Foreclosure Protection

They have partnered with a Law Firm that performs Forensic Loan Document Reviews which is a comprehensive investigation of the documentation from your existing loan(s). The Forensic Loan Doc Review is a significant part of a loan modification request submitted on your behalf.

They also perform Home Loan Modifications which is the change to the loan contract which is agreed to by the lender and the homeowner.

And with the blessings from above
God sends you his love

First Nuffnang Event in the Philippines

Yup, that was me with Earthlingorgeous and Youngmaze during Nuffnang's First Movie Premiere. We watched Burn After Reading. Though the movie is morbidly absurdist, thoroughly pointless, I enjoyed it. There were more chuckles than huge laughs, but I was thoroughly entertained.

The best part was when I met some of the Nuffnangers. It was really a fun experience. Thanks to Nuffnang for making this possible.
