My Cheap Wedding Souvenirs

June 21, 2008 1 Comment

weddingI had a long and nice talk with my BFF in the Philippines. She is getting married on the 6th of July, 2008 [a day before our first Wedding Anniversary]. She said that she is already excited and scared at the same time. I could have imagined. Getting married in the Philippines will cost a fortune now. According to her they will spend about 100k pesos in photography and video alone.

When hubby and I got married, we saved a lot on photography and video because we took our own pictures. I mean, a friend of ours presented himself as our unofficial photographer and took our pictures. And my step-daughter’s boyfriend became our unofficial videographer. The photos were downloaded in our computer and I just printed out all the copies and presto… I was able to make a photo album of my Wedding at the Lighthouse.

Printing Problem Solved

June 20, 2008 Leave a Comment

My computer is my life now, as a matter-of-factly. Being a stay-at-home wife, I depend so much on my computer to keep my sanity in tact. I do a lot in my computer. I write a lot and I want to have hard copies of all the write ups that I have done for my file. I also love to take photos of almost everything and I print them out for my scrapbooking. And there is no way I will be happy if my printer will run out of ink.

But ink is very expensive nowadays. When the cost of fuel oil rises everything follows suit so my printing job suffered quite a bit. It’s a good thing that I found this InkJetDeals.info website in the internet and discovered the cheap deals on Dell laser printer cartridges which is just what I need for my printer.

InkJetDeals has all the lists of online stores like Canon, Epson, HP, Lexmark, and others major computer manufacturers that sell inkjet and toner cartridges at great discount as much as 80% off on the retail price. But that’s not all I also got more savings because they have lists of coupon codes and discount promotions from all those stores which give shoppers more cutbacks when they buy their ink through InkJetDeals.

One of the nicest things about this site too is that it isn’t just a website where you can find quality and cheap printer supplies but it also has some helpful information and articles on how you can conserve ink and suggestion for troubleshooting printer problems which is a big help for me who is not a computer savvy.

Bathroom Traffic Jam

June 19, 2008 1 Comment

bathHubby was furious. He wanted to use the bathroom but his eldest daughter was inside for almost 10 years now. (Nah, I’m just exaggerating.) It’s a common situation in the house, so I am neither bothered nor surprised.

My step-daughter is a bathroom hog. She spends hours in the bathroom doing her personal business other than taking a shower and fixing her hair and make-up [like reading mails, consolidating bills, chatting on the phone, drinking beer, and only-God-knows-what-else-she-does-there]. I can’t complain. I used to be like her when I was in the Philippines. The only difference was… I was the only one who lived in the house and I didn’t have to share the bathroom with other people except with my youngest brother who only came home on weekends. And if ever I did have to share the bathroom… I still don’t because we have another bathroom in the wash area. So I am a certified bathroom hog.

A Healthy Option

June 19, 2008 Leave a Comment

toiletI lost 15 pounds. Yes, I am bragging about it. I am proud. I went 2 sizes down.

I have been over weight all my life and being able to lose some pounds is a great achievement for anyone in that predicament. Well, it may not be a big deal really since I really did something to lose weight – Colon Cleanse. It is my healthy option to clean living. It’s a no brainer, it’s just plain common sense. It’s the only way I could get rid of all the toxins in my body that could make me sick.

Losing weight is not that easy. And losing weight is not just for vanity too. I just want to be healthy and live my life to the fullest. And no matter how much effort I put up with exercising and eating the right food, I still need to do something to ensure that I am “clean” living. Everything we take into our body should be out of our system one way or another or else we will accumulate the toxins that are harmful to our body. That is why colon cleansing helps to achieve better result in the absorption of nutrients in our body. And that option is my healthy lifestyle now.

Building Dreams

June 19, 2008 Leave a Comment

cardI am a carpenter’s wife. My hubby is a carpenter who is passionate about his work. He loves carpentry. It is his life [aside from me, of course]. He has been in the business for 15 long years prior to his freelance urchin diving stint in the late 70s and early 80s. He is a self-employed carpenter who has pride in his work.

He established Gregoire Construction which is a company dedicated to high quality residential constructions that guarantee reliable and efficient workmanship in all aspects of carpentry work in Portland, York and Cumberland areas in Maine. Gregoire Construction is skilled, qualified, insured and has 15 years of working experience in roofing, sidings, framing, decks and porches construction or additions, remodeling and other small projects you need in your home construction and improvements.

Well, this is not a paid advertisement, so to speak. As a carpenter’s wife I am also as proud as him and if ever I will get anything from writing about this… some hugs and kisses are enough to compensate my effort. So, if you need to build a new home… or add a new room… or a simple remodeling job or renovating projects in Portland, York and Cumberland counties in Maine, call Gregoire Construction because they do not only build houses… they build dreams.

Looking Through the Lens

June 19, 2008 Leave a Comment

I love to read. I also love to write. I spend a lot of time in the computer. With this lifestyle, I had to wear eyeglasses. But I am not a big fan of eyeglasses because it’s very uncomfortable and unflattering to my face. And I don’t like contact lens either because it makes my eyes dry, sore and itchy. But I do need to use something to make me read and write because honestly, my eye sight is not in good shape anymore.

Then, I found acuvue oasys, the number one lens in America. This lens is a breakthrough in terms of comfort because I don’t get irritated eyes by using it. My eyes stay moist and fresh because of the Hydraclear Plus technology used to manufacture them. Good thing I found it at 1-800-GET-LENS, the world’s leading direct-to-consumer marketer of contact lenses. They do not only offer quality service but the lowest prices on all major brands and kinds of contact lenses.

So if you need quality lenses, call 1-800-GET-LENS and you never have to go blind again.

My Bed

June 14, 2008 Leave a Comment

restIt’s just an hour before Hubby comes home for work. I should be preparing supper now but I’m still feeling lazy. It’s nice out and my step-son just came home from school and now out in the pool taking a dip.

This is one of those days when I want to just lie in bed and watch TV but then, I don’t think it’s a good idea because I know for sure that once my back hit the bed I will doze off instantaneously. Beauty sleep is just an alibi. I am the greatest sleeper known to humanity. Oh I just love the bed and the bed loves me back. My Bad! ©
