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.
Satellite TV
I’m always thankful if one of the banks or restaurants or any business centers we’re going has the commercial satellite TV. It makes my life easier and I can transact properly, LOL! Tagging a little kiddo with any of these places could be miserable without any activity for them while waiting. And I think for us grown ups it makes boring too, isn’t?
That’s really one of the things I’m looking at. Since my son comes along with me always (no choice as I’m the one taking care of him, hehe), I have to make sure he won’t get bored and throw tantrums. Let’s take for instance going to a clinic. We usually wait until we called for our turn. That waiting time is such a big problem if no diversion for him. And having a business satellite TV is a big help. Hence, businesses should install stuff like that. One great use is for entertainment of their customers or clients. No boring time. And if your business caters for kids, then I strongly suggest set up a direct TV business account. Your customer will truly appreciate it so much and for sure mommy like me will be grateful.

tips on blackheads
A few years back I have this habit of squeezing nose blackheads by myself making my face red already, LOL! There are times it won’t budge easily and because of too much pressure it leaves blotchy for quite a while. Then I tried using a pore cleanser strips. It works but there are moments that I’m lazy to do it and I just use my fingers especially if I see the blackheads ready to pop out, LOL! I guess there’s a blackhead extractor to use for this but I haven’t seen one yet.
Anyway, let me share the following basic things to do however as a friendly reminder, if you have that face problem and you’d like to learn more about blackhead treatments, you may want to consider consulting a dermatologist first. At least they know what’s exactly good to use for your skin.
~ stop using oil-based makeup and skin treatments.
~ stop scrubbing your face with harsh abrasives.
~ moisturizing your face with a damp, warm cloth in the evening can help get rid of blackheads.
~ applying Beta Hydroxyl acid (Salicyclic acid) to the face on a regular basis has been shown to help get rid of blackheads
Now, this reminds me of contacting my own derma as well…

Today
I’ve been trying to change my theme on this blog but decided to keep as is for the meantime. For once, I don’t have longer time to spend tweaking the codes. Another thing, I’m planning to work on seo again, so my priority is to check best seo software that I can use. I have work on this already a year ago, but then left it behind as I have other stuff that needs more attention. So I think having software will be helpful doing this things that I wanted. And after that, if I still have time I’m going to check for some freebies… 
Lady bug
Ok here’s the cute little bug and he’s saying ” Happy Valentines Day to you” …
I’m so happy when we finished all 12 Ladybugs and my son handed them to his friends. I got this idea from Skip to My Lou. I remember I was surfing that time and looking some tips on how to get rid of blackheads when I chanced upon that cute valentines idea. Since the materials were easy to pull out, I decided to make it as my son’s valentines treat to his friends in school. More photos below:
The materials we use:
… and here some of the lady bugs:
By the way, I forgot to mention the husband has participation here as well. He’s the one to put those wiggly eyes, hehe….
There you have it our lady bugs… we really had fun doing it!
