Hair Now…Hair Forever!

Posted by girlie on October 31, 2007

My uncle says he is well known for doing hair transplant surgery. Meet Dr. Lawrence J. Shapiro, owner of Dr. Shapiro Hair Institute. He has been in practice for some 18 years now. He is actually a dermatologist but specializes exclusively in hair transplant in south florida. He is the first doctor to do “strip incision”, and the 1st doctor in the Southern US to do micro-mini grafts. He has done more than 10,000 satisfied patients in his almost 18-year career. When you call for an appointment, you are sure to meet Dr. Shapiro himself because he does not have any salesman. He has a wonderful and highly trained and experienced medical staff. His team are there to support you through the entire hair transplant process. I was surprised to find out that this procedure is out-patient. You will be able to go home and go back to your activities on that same day they did the procedure. And here’s a bit of good news. His Hair Institute offers interest free payment plan. And not only that, if you call them and make an appointment to schedule your free consultation, they will give you 100 free grafts. Isn’t that great?

PowerPoint Presentation

Posted by girlie on

Ssshh, this is just between you and me. Did you know that I don’t have any idea on how to use a PowerPoint? Yeah shoot me, even my children know how to do it, well it’s because they learn it in school. We didn’t have PowerPoint yet at the time. And I know I’m not the only one who does not know a thing about PowerPoint. Actually it’s not a big problem nowadays, there’s always someone who can do my or your PowerPoint Presentation. So there’s no need to panic. If you have a presentation to be done next week, and you don’t have the time or the knowledge, all you need to do is purchase it from www.masterpapers.com. Easy!

“Boy Magnet”

Posted by girlie on

I often hear Josh call/refer to his sister as “boy magnet”.  It’s like when I admire Ish with anything, next the words that will come out of Joshua’s  mouth would be “boy magnet”.  While we were having lunch awhile back I asked him what “boy magnet” means.  And he was like, “Duh! Mommy it’s the things that you do that attracts boys.  You know, like how you fix your hair, the clothes that you wear.”  I suddenly fixed my hair “Isha Style”, then said, like this Josh?  Do I qualify?  And he was like… “For the love of …Noooooo, you are already married!”  Haha, as if I don’t know that.  What’s funny, their Dad reacted, saying “No boy magnet for you, you are married.”  DUH!

Diabetic Test Strips">Diabetic Test Strips

Posted by girlie on October 30, 2007

I know how expensive it can get when you have Diabetes. My dad had diabetes and we really spent a lot of money for all his diabetic supplies. Did you know that in 2005, 1.5 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in the United States, and what’s sad, a great number of them don’t have insurance. As I’ve told you earlier, it’s really expensive to maintain or manage a person with diabetes. But here’s a good news I’m going to share with all of you. I’ve come across this site that allows 30-60 percent savings especially to those who do not have health insurance. I was able to compare the price of their testing strips with the one my Dad used to use, and it’s really a lot cheaper. A lot can benefit from this great savings, and from the savings they get, it now makes Diabetes Management more affordable. Kudos to this company who in one way or another has helped a lot of people.

3 Things I Can’t Let Go

Posted by girlie on

Lizeth wants to know the 3 Things I Can’t Let Go. Well for now it’s:

1. Blogging - obviously you know the reason why. I am overwhelmed by what I am making especially in the last two days. I count it as a blessing from God, and I want to take advantage of it while it lasts.

2. Belly Dancing - this is my only form of regular exercise which I really love, other than that, I am a lazy bum.

3. Cooking - I feel happy seeing my family enjoy what I cook for them. Yeah sometimes I get tired, but at the end of the day I can still smile at myself, giving myself a pat on the shoulder “Good cooking Girlie”!

Hmmm, how about you KC, Francine, Cuz(now that you are the Chairman), and Rhada? Please? Thanks!

Perfumes Galore at Low Prices!

Posted by girlie on

I like to smell good all the time, that’s why I keep on buying these perfumes. I only have a few favorite brands and I’m one person who sticks to it. I am like my mom who sticks to her perfume for as long as I can remember. I smell the same scent every time I visit her. For those of you who are addicted to perfume, www.sendmescent.com is the website for you. They are one of the leading online retailers of designer perfume. Their prices are unbelievable compared to the ones you see at department stores or malls. And you know why? They keep their overhead expenses low by going online so that they can pass the cost of savings to us. Isn’t that wonderful? Now we can spray our favorite brand all over our body, haha.

Sem Break

Posted by girlie on

Sem Break started yesterday for the kids.  It’s going to be a week long vacation.  We planned to go to Subic today, but some things came up so the plan was ditched.  Too bad, everyone was already excited.  I know you’d say what about the other days of the week.  Well my answer is I don’t think so, unless we want to be caught in a jam.  Yes, there will be a lot of people who will be going home to the province to remember their dead relatives.   We already experienced going out of town on those dates, and I swear we will never do it again.  Half of the time was wasted on travelling.

Now I have to think of another plan.  Oh maybe we can go swimming at the nearby Ace Water Spa.  I have not tried it, but my kids have, a couple of times already.  Yeah I think that’s it, we will go swimming tomorrow!

Last Minute Holidays

Posted by girlie on

I was talking with my sister-in-law over the phone the other night and she mentioned that she wanted to have R&R somewhere, somewhere because she does not actually know where she wants to go. She just feels like going away, and it is very timely since it’s a long weekend. I even laughed at her for not planning, but well it’s her spur of the moment. She says that she can still enjoy even if nothing is planned, as long as she can think of a perfect destination. Come to think of it, yes it can be true. There are times that we have unexpected vacations or unexpected free time, and this is the best time to getaway. It is especially true to her because she works and works and does not have the time to go on a vacation. Well now I can share with her this website I found that offers Last Minute Holidays. I browsed through the website and I found the places they offer really exciting. It’s a great way to spend a much needed break. And the good news, even if everything is last minute, you still get good deals. Normally when it is not planned, and you just want to get away right at that moment, travel agencies take advantage of it. They offer you holidays at high prices because they feel like you have no other choice. But in this website, whether it is planned or last minute decisions, they still offer deals you cannot resist. So whenever you want last minute holidays, you already know which site to go to.

Mail theft has become common in almost all parts of the world. That’s why homeowners have already thought of installing security locks in their mailboxes. Reports have it that mail theft has gone out of control and ordinary mailboxes are no longer safe. It is kinda scary, because anyone can rob us of our security, our money and even our identity.

It has the strength to withstand those people seeking to destroy mailboxes, and has a special quality design against mail theft. They also offer residential mailboxes as well as commercial mailboxes.

Manage Your Website

Posted by girlie on

It’s really hard to maintain a website especially if you don’t have knowledge or idea on how it works. Those html codes are really mind boggling if you look at it. It’s like seeing something foreign, and the more you try to understand it, the more you get a headache. So the tendency would be to hire the services of a web designer every now and then. But did you know that if you download content management, it provides you with tools for creating, managing and organizing your website content? Now you will be able to add web pages even with little or no technical knowledge about all those html codes. This would be a very big help, money wise because you no longer need to call the services of a web designer. You yourself can do it. You will be able to manage your own website without the need to learn programming. You will be able to create a style sheet, you can edit it anytime by changing, adding or deleting information. It also comes with a Web Analysis Tool which provides detailed reporting of site visitors. By the way, they have a 30-day risk free trial which you can avail, so that you will know more details about the product and how it can help make website management easier for you.

Butterfly Kisses

Posted by girlie on

I’ve been getting a lot of “butterfly kisses” from my darling boy lately, he has been soooo sweet, often embracing me too.  One day he hugged me tight, and threw kisses left and right.  I didn’t react coz I know he needed something from me.  Then he said, “Mom, are you not gonna ask what’s the catch?”  I said nope!    He hugged me tighter and said, “Mom can I ask for 500 pesos for my level up card?”  And I was like what?  Mom does not have enough moolah.  And he goes, “who says, you are in the number one spot of the top earner of the day and now you say you don’t have moolah?”  Haha, me and my big mouth,  I couldn’t stop myself from showing him that page where I was in the number one spot.  And he said “for pete’s sake, I was only asking for 500 every holiday, and how many holidays are there in a year?”  I was tongue tied, now I owe him 500 for November 1 which is All Souls Day, hehe, yeah, this one included in his holiday list.

**I don’t know if I have to get angry with him for saying “for pete’s sake”, but as it is I found it funny!**

Are Your Homes Termite Infested?

Posted by girlie on

I would really suggest that you hire a termite control service before your house gets infested by termites. This is what we did in the middle of the construction of our house. We wouldn’t want to see the destruction brought about by termites in the near future. I’ve seen houses infested by termites and it’s slowly falling apart. If you don’t want this to happen to your homes, as early as now hire a termite control service before it’s too late.

Stay Connected

Posted by girlie on

I know a few people who are already using remote access for their businesses. This is one way of tracking and getting involved in their business even if they are not physically present. This is the best idea of keeping in touch with what’s happening in the office. It allows them to connect to their office computer from anywhere in the world. I have a friend who is visiting the Philippines now for an important matter, and how amazing that she can still do a little work on her spare time because their office in the US has remote access. This way she is still in touch, knowing everything that has to be taken cared of with her work even if she is miles and miles away. She can access all the files stored in the computer and she has even conducted a meeting with her staff. See how important it is to have remote access, even if you are far away from work, you will not be able to miss important decisions to make all because you are still connected with your business. You can even have important documents printed from your office computer if you need it for a business presentation. Now you can also take that much needed break without worrying what’s going on in your business. Your people can update you and best of all they can reach you anytime and you can reach them anytime too with an internet connection.

Bedbugs! Ewwww!

Posted by girlie on October 28, 2007

This site came in handy when I needed it most. When we transferred to our new house, it was when I discovered that we had bedbugs. No wonder the children always complained of itchiness and I always found bite marks in their bodies. This site provides information on how to prevent bedbugs infestation and how to get rid of them. I followed everything that I have read in this site, and I’m happy to say that we are now bedbug-free!

Criminal Lawyers Blog/Forum

Posted by girlie on

I have always shared in this blog that I have turned into an internet junkie. It’s like whenever I need information about something, I always turn to the internet. I love going to forums and blogs too, because for me they are the number one source of “real time” information. I also find it a big help in understanding some issues, especially when I get to read the ongoing discussions. Lately, I have been asked by a friend to search about certain laws in the US specifically in LA area, and I really found Los Angeles Criminal Lawyers Blog | California Criminal Defense Law Forum very helpful. This is the blog of a group of brilliant lawyers on Criminal Law and Criminal Proceedings in the Los Angeles area. I enjoyed reading all the entries in the Celebrity High-Profile Case category especially that of Hilton and Lohan ^_^

FYI, one of the blog authors, lawyer Dmitry Gorin, is a professor at UCLA and Pepperdine Law School, and he is often seen providing commentary on Court TV.

Last Day of Campaign

Posted by girlie on October 27, 2007

I went to the house of Cuz today to show support in her candidacy, this is the last day of the campaign period. It was fun walking in the street, taking pictures of her while talking with the people in her barangay. Man she has a lot of supporters, I think she’s gonna win. Let us all wish her good luck and pray that she wins. We’d know the results on Monday after the counting. Go Cuz!

**She’s one happy MOMMA too, after the parade, we went to Greenbelt 4 to get her birthday wish. WOOHOO, I’m so happy for you!**

Note: I’ll post pictures later, I need to do an opp worth $24, and hope to get the other $21…wahoo, it’s christmas!
