The Best Apps
Author: admin
One of the best things about getting a smart phone is the wide range of applications that they offer. Since this has been developed, phones no longer serve only as a means of communication but also as an organizer and a simple means of entertainment.
You can read books, play games, and compete with your friends using your iPhone if it has Game Center.
I believe my favourite app would be the youtube downloader. I love watching videos there, especially those of cats or of Kingsley’s rants. I could easily waste four hours without even realizing it when I watch videos there. Haha!
What kind of apps do you guys download? Take screenshots of your app lists and let’s all come up with good recommendations! Maybe we could even come up with top 10 apps of each category. Leave links of your screenshots in the comments section of this post.

Flower Power
Author: admin
I never understood floral arrangement value so I decided to look around on the wonderful world of the internet and read up on this topic.
Apparently the price of the floral arrangement correlates to the florist’s services and the value of the flowers used in the arrangement. A floral arrangement full of roses would be different from one full of tulips. There are websites that offer custom floral arrangements for less if you actually look hard enough.
Flowers can apply to almost every occasion, but you should be well aware of what flowers are appropriate to use for various occasions, because there are certain flowers that are normally used for specific celebrations because others may find it offensive. It would be best to look up your flower of choice on the internet or consulting your florist before purchasing anything. It’s never too late to be aware, you know? It’ll save you a lot of trouble!
Yoga Sessions
Author: admin
My sister found out that she has mild scoliosis when she was around 9 and decided to ignore it.
Now, she’s nineteen and the scoliosis got worse. She now has to wear braces and undergo therapy, stretching twice a day. Since she has to do it on the floor and apparently it hurts her knees after a few minutes of stretching, I lent her my extra yoga mat.
I have Tuesdays and Thursdays as my yoga days. I leave the house at 4:30 AM so I can arrive at the yoga studio and do a yoga session before going to work. I’m still getting used to waking up early, and if you have been reading my blog for a while you’d notice how much I love to sleep and how hard it is for me to let go of my bed in the morning. I just hope I can keep this up, and maybe bring my sister along to some sessions, this will help her with her scoliosis, you know?
Did you know that…

term life insurance is a kind of insurance that provides their services for a limited period of time at fixed rates? When that period expires then the services are no longer guaranteed.
It’s a kind of insurance that everyone should really consider, in my opinion. According to wikipedia, it’s the original form of life insurance that can be contrasted to permanent life insurance such as whole life, universal life and variable universal life.
I could go on and on, but I’m not exactly knowledgeable in this field. You might as well just look it up online as there are sources more reliable than me. Just a friendly reminder to all of the people concerned about themselves and their loved ones, look this up and apply for one! I’m sure you won’t regret every penny spent on this because it really is worth it. You have my word!
Body Insecurities
Author: admin
I just discovered something brilliant! If you want to know what it is, click here for eyelash growth products!!
It’s brilliant, really. You know how there are always these certain people that are drawn to women / men with long, curly eyelashes? What happens to those with short eyelashes that seem like they’re not even there? WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR SELF ESTEEM? WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE ME?!
Sorry, I have weird self esteem issues sometimes. I find it unfair how women like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba exist. THEY MAKE THE REST OF US FEEL SO INFERIOR, DON’T YOU THINK?
Thank god for technology and the brilliant things that people come up with.
What kind of insecurities do you have about your body? Share it with us, maybe the other readers I have already found the solution to that and can help you! Go on, don’t be shy!
For Her
Author: admin
My brother’s seventh anniversary with his girlfriend soon, and he asked me to help him find a present for her. Since he doesn’t seem like he intends to ask for her hand in marriage anytime soon, I’m leaning towards looking through amazon or ebay to get personalized gifts for her.
She’s a big fan of accessories so I was thinking about custom made bracelets. I haven’t the slightest clue about what kind of designs she wants though, so I can’t really help my brother with that. I suggested a customized couple shirt, too, but my brother complained that it was too cheesy and they’re both not into that kind of thing.
I’m not really good with thinking about presents for people so I write down things if I see that they want something or need something. I don’t even know my brother’s girlfriend that well. Do you guys have any suggestions? I’m really out of ideas now!
Looking for my Camcorder
Author: admin
There are some things you use only once in a while. Camcorders for instance. These things you see everyday when you do not need them, yet they are hard to find when you need them the most.
I seem to have misplaced mine and now I really need it. I had been searching for it since last week. My brother needs it for the Halloween party.
I wonder where I placed it. Last time I saw it, it was on the cupboard. But that was a year ago and so many things had changed since then. AAAARGH! Did someone stole it? Or did I accidentally put it in the trash?
Think think think…
Sorry if I am thinking aloud through my blog. This is my way of destressing myself when I am in panic. Wait wait! I get it!
(Calling brother)
Oh crap. I remember where it is. I lent it to my brother. I called him up and he forgot that it was still in his room. Good thing he saw it already. That really made me panic because that camcorder was worth a fortune for me.
Phone problems in the Basement
Author: admin
If there is one part of the house I really love, it is the basement. Don’t get me wrong, I am not the Emo type person who loves to hang out in dark corners and stuff like that. Oh and our basement, by the way is well lit, very well furnished, sound proofed, and air-conditioned. It was my sanctuary.
So last week, I decided to move my home office down to the basement. I thought that the silence can make me focus on my work. True enough that it was silent there and it was the ideal setting for me, but then I noticed that I was not getting any messages on my phone. No one was ordering my products. Then, I saw the problem. The basement was not just sound proof, it was radiation proof!
The cellphone signal just could not penetrate the walls of the basement. However, I remembered that our company also had a basement floor. Yet remembered that my phone did work there. So I consulted our IT department and they suggested getting a wilson cell booster. It is like an indoor antenna that can amplify even the tiniest signals. This is actually used by buildings to allow cellular phone signals to come in.
Next week, I’ll give you an update if the solution really worked or not.
The family RV, is it even worth it?
Author: admin
When my Grandpa died, he left us with a beautiful RV that everyone in the family loved. It had everything inside it – a TV, Ref, Shower, Kitchen, Beds, basically everything you can find in your house. Except for the ceiling fan of course.
The family rode that wherever we went. It became a tradition to have a road trip during long holidays to escape the city noise. The RV is just so special to us.
However, as time went by, the RV became more of a liability and a headache rather than a stress relieving asset. It broke down every time we used it. It broke down so frequently that it even broke down while parked in the garage.
So my Dad thought of getting an rv repair. However, times are not that great now in the family. The budget is just too tight. However, having a large pile of junk in the garage is not very nice either. So the question now is… is the RV, with all its sentimental value, worth the repair cost that could ruin the family budget?
Car Lovin’
Author: admin
My brother is currently obsessed with tweaking his car and I can’t help but find it cute.
He keeps buying upgrades like rud tire chains and a camera at his car’s bumper so he doesn’t have to look back so much when he backs up.
He even bought a GPS that’s really awesome and I like to stare at it whenever I ride his car because it never fails to amaze me. His sound system is brilliant, the interface is on a touch screen device.
If people’s vices are usually drugs and beer, my brother’s vice would probably be buying really expensive gadgets.
No kidding. I’m jealous, really, because if I had the money I’d probably be buying even more useless gadgets than my brother, but I’d have money, so it wouldn’t matter! RIGHT?!
