While my little girl was busy playing with her toys, I logged in to check my mails and blogs. I got quite a lot of things to do but I wanted to do none of that for the moment. What I wanted was to have FUN! Thank God I found a great website which not only gives me fun like online games but also very useful resources that a woman can use in her everyday life. I’m talking about mylifetime.com which has links to health, relationships, style and most of all my fave, home and crafts! It even has videos on different crafts. I’m actually a fan of Crafting with the Chica since months ago which is also part of their home and crafts section. I suggest you visit the site too and enjoy that mylifetime.com has to offer us girls!
Oh yes! We were in Berlin last week but only for a day. We decided to go there to tour my parents. And even with the very short time there, we managed to shop for some souvenirs. Luckily I was able to buy a cap for my uncle and some bags for my aunts.
As for myself, here’s what I got:
And this one’s for my sister who’s starting to collect shot glasses from different countries:
I’ve made another blog again! Last week I already bought the domain name I wanted but until now the blog is not yet up coz I’m still looking for a good hosting company to host it. According to my adviser, it’s better to choose one which provides dedicated IP address. It’s good that I still didn’t decide on that on coz I’ve come across the top 10 web hosting only today which gives plenty of valuable information in selecting the best web hosting service for internet users. Hosting plans comes with free domain name which I won’t be able to enjoy anymore coz I already have one. Sheeshhhh… Anyway, I hope I can find a suitable hosting soon coz I really want to start that new blog of mine ASAP.
A trip to any place without bringing home souvenirs wouldn’t be complete, do you agree? I took home several pieces that were priceless; stones from a century-old place, pieces of wood from a mountainous area…. that’s about it but the rest I bought from different shops. It’s fun hunting for cute souvenirs that will remind me of my Finland vacation.
Anyway, just to show-off what I bought:
There are still some more I bought but forgot to take pics of… maybe next time. ![]()
Traveling can be tiring especially if it’s a long flight or ride. When we arrived in Finland 3 weeks ago, we had to take a 4 hour bus ride from the Helsinki-Vantaa airport to the small city where my sister was living. The thought that we will be stuck in a bus for 4 hours already gave me negative reaction but once we were on board, I found out that it was one comfortable ride. The seats and the leg space gave us ample area to move comfortably. There was also toilet on board and most of all, the sceneries we passed by were breathtaking. The 4 hours passed by swiftly.

Up until now I haven’t fully finished my “new” theme. When I think about, it makes me frustrated. I really want to get my hands on it but a lot of more important things have to be prioritized. Well, at least I have started already. I hope it won’t take very long for me to finally finish my theme or else it will stay like this forever. Bleee!
Most people want to look good and as society dictates, being slim is beautiful. That’s why people most especially women are obsessed with being thin. There are ways on how to achieve this; having a healthy diet, exercising, following a healthy lifestyle, undergoing a cosmetic surgery or taking weight loss pills.
The latter choice is kinda tricky coz there are many diet pills available in the market and finding out which works best and effectively is difficult. Good thing there is a weight loss pill reviews where consumers can learn everything they need to know in buying the pills. When you’re planning to buy weight loss pills, be sure to read the review first so you will know the pros and cons of the product you have in mind.
In the end, it’s still your sole responsibility whatever you take in for yourself and your own risk/benefit whatever the outcome is.
There are times when we feel that we’ve done a good job so we treat ourselves with fun pursuits. It can be watching a movie, or dining in a restaurant with our loved ones or pampering ourselves in a spa. Others would reward themselves with tangible objects and that’s what I did yesterday. I bought myself a little something for being a great mom!
It’s a silver necklace with a cute silver cross pendant to match. The lady in the store asked if I wanted it to be wrapped. I said it’s for myself so there’s no need to wrap it. She smiled and said that she can have it wrapped especially for me; it would be a gift for myself. Awwww!
Building a home is a major expense and big risk for people. Some invest all their savings on it and oftentimes because of poor planning, they aren’t able to finish the construction. What they need is somebody to help them in the planning stage or somebody with authority who can guide them on how to go about building their dream home according to their financial capacity and design specifications.
It’s good to know that there are home builders such as Schumacher Homes that go an extra mile in helping their clients build their homes step by step all the way from start to finish. They set up websites with information and samples of their previous projects to enable clients to gauge their capability.
Our vacation is about to end so we headed to several shops to look for souvenirs yesterday and today!
I was happy with my finds. Yesterday I bought a miniature sauna bucket (cute!) which was so very Finnish. Coz you know why? Sauna originated from Finland!!! Read wikipedia and you’ll find out more about sauna. Then today I bought myself a special gift and some materials for my DIY souvenir. Pictures will follow! For now we’ll go to a food trip - buffet style! Ciao!
