Oscar’s Fashion
Have you watched Oscars? Well don’t ask me, I forgot to watch hehe…. However I was able to catch the news the following day and saw the winners on stage… they all look stunning…
Then I just browsed online for some of the celebrities’ fashion clothes…
Here some of my fave dresses:
And for men, I just love how these two wear their tuxedos…
It shows that the trend is like a satin fabric thingy for the ladies… isn’t? Just great! And it’s fun looking at different fashion styles of these celebrities… a nice inspiration too
Fast and Easy
… and that I’m referring the way online transaction goes. I’ve been in IT for so many years already and I’ve seen how most of the transactions being done from paper works up to the latest trend in technology and that is almost everything we can do online now. From shopping to bank transactions to flight booking and even getting a life insurance quotes. Gone were the days that we have to call and look for the best agent just to get quotations for insurance. For shopping, we can do it online as well, which for me is more convenient. There may be exceptions of course but in totality it’s a big advantage. And you know because of online thingy, I gained a LOT of friends.

Sony VAIO W series
Two weeks ago I told the husband my wish to buy a small notebook that I can bring like for instance going to library. The pc I’m using right now is a 17” laptop, which is big to bring along and a little bit heavy for me. So I’m telling him what if I buy a small notebook and I showed this Sony VAIO W Series notebook that is light and stylish.
And yes on that pink color as well, hehe… As I look at it, it’s handy and sturdy enough that I can bring along when I go to library (that’s one of my favorite places to go while the little boy is in school… ) . Some other features are listed below:

Hello March
… and hello my friends and lurkers!
I can’t believe two weeks had passed since the last time I blogged. Looks like it was just the other day, hehe. Well, just like what other always saying, “time flies when you’re having fun” but for me I could change that to “… when you’re busy” Yes, real life caught on me and the list of things to do is never ending. One thing that keep me busy is my job hunting and preparation. I had an interview and hopefully will be accepted. They’ve asked for my references as part of their pre-employment screening. I’m really praying that I’ll get this job otherwise I will still try my luck with others.
Another thing that keeps me away from blogging and staying online is the never ending household chore plus a little kiddo to take care of. As soon as my son backs to school, some activity need to attend and there are homework for him that I need to assist. A total mommy duties, eh! … Anyway, so its March now… 2 wks to go and it’s my son’s 6th birthday… no exact plans yet. Let’s just see what we can come up for the next few weeks, hehe…
That’s it for now… will do surfing and more blogging laters… Ciao!
Cure Mesothelioma
Lately, I seldom stay longer browsing and checking status on Facebook. However this morning was different because I chanced upon the “causes” FB applications and I was interested to browse different campaigns and fund raising activities. One that caught my attention was Cure Mesothelioma cause. As more precisely called malignant Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in the linings of the chest or abdomen caused by exposure to asbestos. And it’s good to know there is a foundation that offers assistance and support for the patients and families affected. Right now there are 29,422 members and had raised $25,609.
If you want to take part, join and invite friends for this cause. Image above is linked to the FB site.

direct tv special
Watching TV on Friday night and weekend are usually the family bonding time for us. My 5-yr old boy has the chance to watch TV on these days so it’s important we have a family oriented movie to watch. I heard that direct TV offers more than 150+ channels. So I tried searching and luckily I found direct TV specials on BlogTelevision.net.
Right now, they have different packages at minimal rate per month, all with various channels. That’s the great part and we have the chance to see the programming channel we’re looking for. I’m sure they have movies for kids. I’m looking forward for international news as well… And as part of directv specials, they’re offering 50% off for one year. A nice deal, huh! Ok, I wanted to learn more about their directtv specials and it’s good I was able to search one around the area. Will take a look of their programming packages. How about you, want to make the switch now? Check their new offers.
Car accessories
Last night I had a chat conversation with my sister and she’s asking me to look for a nice yet not so expensive car DVD player. I remember when she came for a visit 4 months ago, we tried to look for this stuff but unfortunately she didn’t find the brand she wanted. And since time was limited, she went home without it. Now she asked me to check it again.
Well, I tried to browse this morning various portable car DVD players. And I found a lot ranging from different top models. They’re all compact, folding DVD player, which provides entertainment at the comfort of your vehicle. This makes a good amusement when you have a long drive with kids in tow. That’s actually the reason why my sister wanted to buy- it’s for her kids.
Alternatively, I told her a car video with flip down monitor is a good stuff too such this one:
You can just flip back up to the ceiling when you’re finish. Great, huh!
Since I’m browsing car accessories and reading some tips, let me share this buying guide on car speakers. It’s a nice guideline especially if you don’t know the basics.
