My mom used to love gardening. Back in our old house in the military camp, she’d buy a lot of flower pots and plant various types of flowers in them. Our new house has a bigger backyard, but the ground is still not very fertile. I plan on buying fertile land and having our backyard redone so she can start on working on our backyard’s landscape.

I hope she appreciates the gardening gifts that I get her. We used to plant flowers in our yard when I was young, and she’d pick flowers and put them in a vase to display in our living room. They were really beautiful.

I guess you can blame her for my A’s in my Home Economics class! She’s always been so obsessed with keeping the house spic and span. We had this humble little home back then, and she’d get nothing but compliments about it.

I hope to be a good housekeeper as her when I start to have a family of my own.

You know it actually took me a lot of time and effort to save up to buy my iPhone. Two out of my three friends also have their own iPhone products. One of them has an iPhone 4, and the other has an ipod nano touch. We all saved up to buy our own things.

I guess the times when we stop talking and just play games on our phones and iPods made the friend who didn’t have any apple products a little jealous. She started being rude to her parents about not buying her anything when all of her friends have apple products.

I gave her a talk about how she needs to save up and stop asking money from her parents to buy stuff that she doesn’t really need. We all need to learn how to be independent, and I can say that today is her day.

It’s not really very healthy for a person to rely on their parents for the rest of their lives.

There was something different about my friend James.

He was smiling so widely and taking big strides as he was walking towards me. I couldn’t help but notice his new michael kors watch because he kept moving his arms around in an attempt to show it off. It was nice, really, and I think it fitted him.

Apparently it’s a present from his wife, Jeanne, from their anniversary. It amazes me how long they’ve been together. I somehow lost my faith in long term relationships a long time ago.

I hope to find someone to marry like how James found Jeanne. It wasn’t love at first sight or anything romantic like the movies, it’s them working together and the power of compromise doing wonders.

Do you have a special someone right now? How did you find each other and how long have you been together? Please, share it with me and my readers!

Insurance can play a big role in someone’s lives, and even if most people think that it’s unnecessary and that no one needs it, it will end up saving you a lot of money in the end.

I believe that the best advice I can ever give to a friend that is currently employed is to get a whole life insurance to invest in, assuming that they don’t have one yet.

A lot of factors should be considered when choosing a company to invest in, however. It would be best to ask friends that possess the same insurance plan and ask how the service of the company is.

My mom always said it’s better to learn from the experience of others than having to experience difficulty on your own, and that’s exactly the advice I would like to give to all of my dearest readers in this blog, as well.

Just remember, always be careful, it can never hurt.

My sister was chosen to be the representative of her batch in an upcoming event for their institute in the university.
I went to her university to watch her compete. Her university is a two hour drive from our house, so I brought my brother along with me. As the match was about to begin our backs started hurting from the heavy bags we were carrying, so we used their gym’s ping pong tables and put our bags above it.

She just joined for giggles and to have fun with her friends, but apparently her opponent took the game too seriously. Her opponent was a varsity player and the sad part was she never even smiled during the whole game.

I feel bad for her, I don’t think she enjoys playing anymore. Everyone was silent while watching them play. Theirs were the only match that no one else dared to speak in.

I’m not saying it’s bad to be competitive, but if it’s that extreme I don’t really think it’s good for your health.

Earlier today my friends and I decided to come to a water spa to relax and relieve ourselves of the stress that everyday living gave us.

I was shocked to see that the place literally had nothing but water. There were various acupuncture therapies that didn’t actually use needles. They called the therapy acupressure. They used water pressure to massage focal points in your body! How amazing is that?

What I loved most about the place was the hot pools. They required you to lean onto a cold metal bar to balance your body heat. The pools ranged from 36 to 38 degrees celsius, and you were required to dip yourself in cool water for 8 seconds after getting out of the hot pool.

It was my first time to get inside a steam bath and a sauna, and I absolutely loved it. The heat was a bit too much for me to endure, but I started getting used to it and it became an awesome experience in the end.

I saw some hot tub spa covers with interesting designs in that place. The spa area actually had an “Alice In Wonderland” feel, and it was amazing. I’d definitely recommend it to all of my friends when I go to work tomorrow.

I remember watching the movie, Sucker Punch. I find the actress who portrayed Babydoll’s face to be quite exquisite. She just looks so young for her age!

The plot of the movie seems shallow, but it really isn’t. At first you’d think the story was about Babydoll, but it was about Sweet Pea all along and her escape to get a life away from all the danger that the anxiety drug treatment centers or rather, center, has given her for the whole time that she stayed there.

I liked the part that happens whenever she dances. She goes through an equilibrium in her mind where she decides on the things that she has to do to help their little group escape.

I heard this movie had bad reviews, but the only thing I can complain about in this movie would be the script. The plot would have been interesting if the script was improved.

Since my little sister will be starting on her special problem this semester, she’s been asking me to buy her a new laptop.

A special problem is similar to a thesis for graduating college students, but it has less paperwork. Normally in a thesis you’d have to make or add a new form of knowledge into your paper. A special problem only requires you to apply what you have learned for the past four or so years into a project to let the university know how much you have learned.

She specifically requested for toshiba laptop computers because their laptops have specifications that she would need for her project.

She won’t tell me what her project is yet, but she promised that I’d be the first to see. I’m quite excited, really. Our little girl is growing up, and I’m quite proud to say that she has changed a lot and became a better person.

My room mate and I have decided to part our ways due to differences and a couple of issues that we failed to resolve. I currently am looking for a new place to stay in.

What factors do you consider when settling down?

There are a few factors that I consider before picking a place for me to stay. These factors would be location, price, and services.

If the location of an apartment or unit is easily accessible and not too far from my work and from other important establishments, I check if the price is reasonable for the quality of the place itself.

I am quite particular about these things and it’s quite hard for me to get along with room mates so more often than not I prefer being alone.

Once I have chosen a place to stay in I consider the interior design. There simply is something about the Adirondack chair that makes me want it. Once I saw one of their models, I was easily convinced to get one for my new place.

I guess I’m not that easy to get along with when it comes to room mates and living conditions. I blame my OCD. Hahaha!

Each person has his/her own approach when it comes to dealing with acne and pimples.

Some prefer to just wait it out and let it ripe, and then pop it. Others opt to just mess around with it as soon as it shows up. Others let various kinds of peels deal with it, and some leave it to their dermatologists.

We all have our own kind of acne remedy, but the question is, is it really effective? Does it really make us look like the models we see on magazines and on fashion shows? How do they manage to make their skin so flawless?

That is a question I would also want to be answered, but unfortunately we all have different skin types, so one’s remedy might not always be a good idea for another to try.

Just be careful in trying out products. Just because it made your friend’s skin crystal clear doesn’t make it automatically do the same for you.
