It's unique because you can bring your baby with no worry about crying and fussing! It's really cool because inside the theater, they put a changing table and wipes but there was no diapers though...hehe I think it would be too much for them if they'll give diapers.. By the way, they call it crybaby matinee show and it's only every friday and saturday mornings of each week! My husband and I really like this idea because here in houston there's nothing much you can do except shopping and going to a movie theater.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWtlT5nTJGI/AAAAAAAAARw/xqAC1xnW9BI/s1600-h/phone+pic+2009+030.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWtlT5nTJGI/AAAAAAAAARw/xqAC1xnW9BI/s320/phone+pic+2009+030.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290433579834352738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was really happy of how Pauline behaved in the movie theater.

I'm just lazy and kinda disappointed with some blogging advertisement websites...hmmm I wish they know....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I guess I will start by sharing my Christmas happenings...&lt;br /&gt;We did a lot of shopping of course, there were so much good deals that I couldn't resist!ahaha...On Christmas Eve we stayed at home. My husband and I cooked some serious food and got some Champagne. We also had singing moments. Indeed, my husband managed to assemble it's kinda mickey mouse karaoke and it worked well.ahahha! We had a lot of fun even though just the three of us are celebrating. But, we can't avoid the feeling of really missing our family with us on Christmas day . I wish next year we will be able to spend Christmas with them...&lt;br /&gt;On new years eve, my husband booked a table for us at a french restaurant somewhere in Bellaire. We didn't cook at that time because he was working the day before. The food was really delicious and worth for a new year celebration. We went home right away after our dinner because there was nothing special going on downtown, so we decided to go home. We stayed up till midnight and got something to drink while waiting for the new year! That's all I have to share with you pals....Wishing you all life's best this New Year!!!&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pictures that I took, Enjoy!!!!:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTX14p5D4I/AAAAAAAAARc/vLibVvBI91U/s1600-h/1_105034244l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTX14p5D4I/AAAAAAAAARc/vLibVvBI91U/s320/1_105034244l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288589183180935042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the serious food that I was talking about...ahahah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTXxUJHmrI/AAAAAAAAARU/ji3XYbNtBuc/s1600-h/1_931367630l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTXxUJHmrI/AAAAAAAAARU/ji3XYbNtBuc/s320/1_931367630l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288589104660322994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Christmas presents...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTXqBj0xWI/AAAAAAAAARM/w99hHziMvBc/s1600-h/1_390164066l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTXqBj0xWI/AAAAAAAAARM/w99hHziMvBc/s320/1_390164066l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288588979412976994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gifts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTXiNIhimI/AAAAAAAAARE/ly9ybCLPTkw/s1600-h/1_781053283l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTXiNIhimI/AAAAAAAAARE/ly9ybCLPTkw/s320/1_781053283l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288588845080742498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before opening the gifts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTX7EhgahI/AAAAAAAAARk/jlqR5HIM-KY/s1600-h/1_915668162l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTX7EhgahI/AAAAAAAAARk/jlqR5HIM-KY/s320/1_915668162l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288589272266336786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the French Resto...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-4042861739644111952?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/4042861739644111952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=4042861739644111952' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/4042861739644111952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/4042861739644111952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2009/01/christmas-and-new-year-update.html' title='Christmas and New Year  Update!'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SWTX14p5D4I/AAAAAAAAARc/vLibVvBI91U/s72-c/1_105034244l.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-8817648588899323720</id><published>2008-12-30T15:41:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-30T15:41:49.319-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Debt advice...</title><content type='html'>In today's economy more and more people become victims of a system that allowed them to live maybe more comfortably than what they could really afford.

See by yourself this picture:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUw4JFXj-LI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/3x3E-kpVjZ0/s1600-h/11426.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 223px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUw4JFXj-LI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/3x3E-kpVjZ0/s320/11426.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281658191709730994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an Omega and on &lt;a href="http://www.thewatchery.com"&gt;thewatchery.com&lt;/a&gt; the have discounts up to 80% on their luxury watches and sometimes up to 90% on their clearances, and off course don't forget their deal of the day, it really worth it! Last time I checked they had a Movado for $149!!! Over $1,200 saving!! I was so tempted...&lt;br /&gt;With the Free Shipping (for orders over $100) they propose some real good deals. Their selection is very interesting and for all type of prices, up to several thousand of dollars. And of you order now, you will receive before Christmas! So if you're planning on offering a watch, you definitely have to check &lt;a href="http://www.thewatchery.com"&gt;thewatchery.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I always thought that a nice watch was the best type a jewelry to offer because it is very visible to others and it's practical, that's why men prefer this as any other jewelry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-7568336082151008317?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/7568336082151008317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=7568336082151008317' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/7568336082151008317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/7568336082151008317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/12/and-why-not-nice-watch.html' title='And why not a nice Watch?'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUw4JFXj-LI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/3x3E-kpVjZ0/s72-c/11426.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-4220315151744349511</id><published>2008-12-17T12:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-17T14:08:48.981-08:00</updated><title type='text'>10 Habits of a Happy Woman</title><content type='html'>We live in a time where the search for happiness consumes almost all of our time. Try this habits and be a happy woman!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Maintain your hormonal balance. Are you moody, exhausted, irritable - anything but happy? Check your hormones. If they're out of whack, then you're less likely to be happy. Make sure you're getting enough protein and vitamins, and decrease your refined sugars and carbohydrates. Also, make sure you eat foods that improve your mood and take vitamins for women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. This website for women is all about not obsessing or feeling guilty about your past choices or failures is ineffective and unhealthy. Learning to forgive yourself for your mistakes and letting go of the past is a habit that will make you a healthy woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Connect with who you are. Being a daughter, wife, or mother is one aspect of your life. It doesn't define who you are as a woman. To connect with who you are, take time to connect with your authentic self. The more authentic you are, the more appealing you'll be to others. A healthy woman lives a healthy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Spend time with people you connect with. Do you feel drained or sad after spending time with a particular friend, coworker, or relative? Limit the time you spend with them. Note how you feel after visiting with particular people; if you feel energized and happy, then they're a good match. This website for women is about respecting yourself and living a healthy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Speak kindly to yourself. If you beat yourself up for being overweight, a bad mom, or not exercising enough, you just create a downward spiral. A great habit of healthy women is to remind yourself of your achievements and successes. Refuse to say anything negative to yourself that you wouldn't say to your best friend. Being kind to yourself is almost as good as vitamins for women!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Listen to your body. I heard Oprah Winfrey say this about 10 years ago: listen to what your body is telling you. Are you emotionally hungry or physically hungry? Feed yourself properly. Are you sad, furious, or depressed? Taking care of yourself is a habit that will make you a healthy woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Volunteer your time. Find something that takes you out of your comfort zone or that you love to do. You'll feel great that you're helping others out - and volunteering directly improves your physical health. This website for women can encourage you to step out of your comfort zone by taking risks and trying new things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Let go of perfectionism. Strive to do your best, but let go of perfectionist tendencies. Accepting that you're doing the best you can is a habit that will make you a happy women. Letting go of perfectionism is like a vitamin for a woman, and will lead to a healthy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Use your core strengths. Are you a natural mathematician, writer, or party planner? Discover your core strengths by trying different things until you find what fits. To try new things, take short-term volunteer positions or volunteer for new projects at work or in your community. Healthy women polish their skills and practice their talents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Take time for yourself. This habit for happy women is one I couldn't live without: take time to recharge your batteries and refuel your emotional, spiritual, and physical energy. Spend at least a few minutes alone each day - even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom to do it! When you're taking time for yourself, find other websites for women. They'll help you lead a healthy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got this from my friend wena :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-4220315151744349511?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/4220315151744349511/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=4220315151744349511' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/4220315151744349511'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/4220315151744349511'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/12/10-habits-of-happy-woman.html' title='10 Habits of a Happy Woman'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-1178604927272222194</id><published>2008-12-16T18:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-16T19:00:08.481-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A steady income when you retire</title><content type='html'>Hi mates!&lt;br /&gt;This post is addressed to my readers who are 62 years old and older, but you're under this age you may still read it as I found this very interesting myself. This is about &lt;a href="http://www.myreversemortgagepro.com/"&gt;reverse mortgages&lt;/a&gt; or how can turn your home equity into a fixed income when you retire. If one is not planning to his or her home to his or her heirs this system could turn out to be quite interesting.&lt;br /&gt;Basically, once you have reviewed the reverse mortgage process with a HUD (Housing and Urban Development) approved counselor your home will be approved based on its value on the market and how much you still owe on the house, if it applies. Then sum of money is proposed to you that you may take as a lump sum or as a monthly payment. You may click on this link to find more information, &lt;a href="http://www.myreversemortgagepro.com/benifits.html"&gt;Reverse Mortgage Benefits&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Also another interesting fact is that it has nothing to do with your credit score and can represent Tax free money. If you want more detail, &lt;a href="http://california.myreversemortgagepro.com/"&gt;reverse mortgage California&lt;/a&gt; can provide you advices from HUD approved consultants and can walk through the whole process. Again you must be 62 years old or older.&lt;br /&gt;That's all folks! I heard about reverse mortgages before and I thought I should share this with you, even if you're to young to be concerned, it's still good to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-1178604927272222194?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/1178604927272222194/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=1178604927272222194' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/1178604927272222194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/1178604927272222194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/12/reverse-mortgages-reverse-mortgage.html' title='A steady income when you retire'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-4928745117960464320</id><published>2008-12-15T12:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-15T18:43:13.811-08:00</updated><title type='text'>True friends are hard to find....</title><content type='html'>Moving to different countries is really hard....especially when it comes to make new friends.....I met a lot of friends here in Houston but I don't know if they consider me as their friend. Just hoping they do....hehe&lt;br /&gt;True friendship involves relationship. Many people say, "Oh, she's a good friend of mine," yet they never take time to spend time with that "good friend." Friendship takes time....time to get to know each other, time to build shared memories, time to invest in each other's growth. Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are key to true friendship. Without them, we often feel betrayed, left out, and lonely. In true friendship, there is no backbiting, no negative thoughts, no turning away.&lt;br /&gt;Real friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Yes, It's hard to forgive, believe me. I've been there, knowing that they have hurt you. Good thing I was able to forgive... and of course trying to forget.&lt;br /&gt;Why am I writing this? hmmm...because I'm tired of meeting fake friends here in the U.S.... :(&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-4928745117960464320?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/4928745117960464320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=4928745117960464320' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/4928745117960464320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/4928745117960464320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/12/true-friends-are-hard-to-find.html' title='True friends are hard to find....'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-1469386270692918148</id><published>2008-12-12T16:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T17:05:01.118-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Know better what you have!</title><content type='html'>Ho mates!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit this link: &lt;a href="http://www.acobay.com/stuff/8839"&gt;http://www.acobay.com/stuff/8839&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.acobay.com"&gt;acobay&lt;/a&gt; helps people who own or use same products, or visited the same places network each other. As you may have noticed if you clicked on the link above, I shared on their website one if the place I visited before.&lt;br /&gt;I guess the more people share about what they own and tell their opinion the more statistic they can compile in order to provide ratings on pretty much anything you want. I think it's pretty smart because if you wish to purchase something you want to read the review from the people who have owned the device for a while instead of those review from magazine which most of the time are biased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it's really useful for electronic stuffs since the technology changes all the time.&lt;br /&gt;You might say that the site is quite new and would need some improvement but just give it some time and it will be a good resource of advices. This one of the reason why the site looks so simple but you don't loose anything trying?

And guess what, that's designed by women for women and it is &lt;a href="http://www.ogiekanogie.com"&gt;Free shipping!&lt;/a&gt;. Take a look at this picture, this coat is so stylish and it feels like you could wear this anywhere, any season. Girls! This post is for you, remember when you were freezing in that restaurant...if you had one of those you'd feel much better isn't it? Last point, you can sit down with your coat on with no problem..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/5wyg4y" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's An Ogie Kanogie? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buying Clothes in a Tough Economy &lt;br /&gt;While it seems everyone has put frivolous purchases on hold, two moms have launched a new business that &lt;br /&gt;comes just at the right time for thinner pocketbooks. &lt;br /&gt;OgieKanogie.com is a new line of women's clothing that's hitting the market with an impressive collection of &lt;br /&gt;14 coat styles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ogie Difference &lt;br /&gt;Affordability: $130-$260 with online promo codes available for a percentage off. &lt;br /&gt;Versatility: Take 'em out on the town or out on the bleacher seats. &lt;br /&gt;Machine Wash-Say NO to dry cleaning! &lt;br /&gt;Quality: Made in the USA. &lt;br /&gt;The Feel: Most styles are so super-soft you'll want to wear them 24/7. &lt;br /&gt;Stylish: Compliments will abound. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So...What's an Ogie? &lt;br /&gt;Ogie Kanogie owners Jamie Hormel and Massiel Bueno spent the last couple of years designing coats and &lt;br /&gt;jackets that would fit their busy lifestyles. The two moms-friends since childhood-included their kids every &lt;br /&gt;step of the way, gathering their input on styles, fit, fabrics and even the company name. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Between living in San Diego and the desert of Arizona, the group knows well the &lt;br /&gt;bone chilling evenings and the cool overcast mornings by the shore. They got tired of freezing in restaurants, &lt;br /&gt;feeling like icebergs in movie theaters and visiting indoor malls set at subzero temperatures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea was to create the perfect line of coats and jackets. They had to be soft and exceedingly &lt;br /&gt;comfortable. They wanted to be able to wear them anywhere-sitting in the sand, on the grass or in the &lt;br /&gt;bleacher seats. Yet, the coats had to look great on the college campus, in the countryside or in the greatest &lt;br /&gt;cities of the world. In other words, Ogies had to be machine washable, durable, versatile and great looking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ogie Owners Consider Economy &amp; Unemployment &lt;br /&gt;Jamie and Massiel also wanted their products to be reasonably priced, so everyone could have the perfect &lt;br /&gt;Ogie for any occasion, all year long. Among all of their priorities, Jamie and Massiel thought it important to &lt;br /&gt;have Ogies made in the USA, doing their part to help keep jobs here. Every Ogie pattern is cut and sewn in &lt;br /&gt;Los Angeles, California. Jamie and Massiel are proud to offer superior quality at reasonable prices in today's &lt;br /&gt;market. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up: &lt;br /&gt;Ogie Hoodie Dresses are coming soon! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Massiel Bueno is a mother of two and resides in Los Angeles, CA. When she's &lt;br /&gt;not working you can usually find her surfing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jamie Hormel is a mother of three kids, five dogs, a pot bellied pig, two miniature goats, and some horses. &lt;br /&gt;She lives in Phoenix, Arizon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/6hxv98" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-7561230552502157249?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/7561230552502157249/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=7561230552502157249' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/7561230552502157249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/7561230552502157249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/12/good-clothes-for-winter.html' title='Good clothes for the winter'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-6068614856350854184</id><published>2008-12-02T07:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-03T08:15:09.866-08:00</updated><title type='text'>HO...HO...HO....</title><content type='html'>hello world!

Makati, Cabanatuan, and Tagbilaran were categorized as metro, mid-sized and small-sized, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quality of life is one of six categories in AIM’s survey. The other categories are cost of doing business, dynamism of local economy, human resources and training, infrastructure, and responsiveness of local government units (LGUs) to business needs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike its previous surveys, AIM decided not to rank the cities based on total performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the 5th round of the AIM survey on Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quality of life is considered one of the yardsticks in determining which cities have successfully developed and which have succumbed to the ills of urbanization. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the relevant aspects of quality of life are social welfare of the people, peace, and order, quality of living environment, and local amenities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cabanatuan and Tagbilaran ranked first in their respective city sizes, rating 7.17 and 7.97, respectively. The highest rating is 10 points. The average rating in their city sizes is 6.31 and 6.43, respectively. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makati ranked second among metro cities, with a rating of 6.98. The average rating of metro cities in terms of quality of life is 6.06.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cabanatuan was credited for its good access to commercial banks, low or non-existent informal fees, and total crime solution efficiency. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tagbilaran was noted for its low or non-existent informal fees, good supply of water, and low water rates. Its local environmental planning and management program was also praised. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makati was recognized for its good access to commercial banks, total crime solution efficiency, and supply of potable water among others. AIM also noted its programs such as the Makati Health Program, the “Yellow Card,” the Makati Command Center, and its Satellite Real Property Tax collection. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A total of 90 cities were surveys—20 metro cities, 25 mid-sized cities, and 45 small-sized cities. The AIM survey was conducted in collaboration with the German Technical Cooperation, International Finance Corporation, International Labour Organization, SM Investments Inc., and Petron Corporation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is the complete list of the top performing cities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Metro Cities:&lt;br /&gt;1.

Lavrenti Lopes is originally from India, used to be a model and is now focusing on his movie carreer. You may have seen him on Youtube for some TATA's commercial. His &lt;a href="http://www.lavrentilopes.com"&gt;Official Website&lt;/a&gt; will let you know everything about him. His latest movie, which will be released in April 09, is called "Subhysteria". The plot seems quite interesting; sixteen people get stuck in a subway car in NYC for 36 hours, without communication, food, way to escape, and a fatal sensation that they are going to die. A raw display of human behavior when one confronts the possibility of death.

We were hesitating to go out because the weather was really cold and my daughter is still sick. I called my friend and found out that she wanted to go out too because her husband left to attend a party. To make the story short, we picked her up and we went to woodlands. My husband went to watch a movie while my friend and I were enjoying the shopping haha! We didn't have much time to shop because we arrived late and the stores close at 9 but most of them closed earlier. But, still we enjoyed our shopping moment yesterday and I got new stuff for myself(unfair)ahahha!  &lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm hoping to go shop next weekend AGAIN.... :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a great day!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-6220491312068583838?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/6220491312068583838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=6220491312068583838' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/6220491312068583838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/6220491312068583838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/11/saturday-shopping.html' title='Saturday shopping!'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-2622573966584896365</id><published>2008-11-19T20:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-19T19:31:19.229-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tune in with Nat and Alex</title><content type='html'>Hi mates!&lt;br /&gt;Do you guys know about the Naked Brother Band? Maybe your kids do..The Naked Brother Band (they always keep their clothes on)is part documentary and part rock-mockumentary musical comedy series that brought Nickelodeon's highest-rated premiere in seven years. They already released 2 Cd's and are about to go on tour this fall! Personally I prefer them than a certain A.M..I don't want to say any name. Tune in this Saturday at 7pm (eastern time) for their &lt;a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=25656&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.natnalex.com%2Findex.php%2FMojoMeter.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Operation Mojo&lt;/a&gt; which will air on Nick at 8:00 pm eastern. Basically the plot is that Nat has lost his Mojo and needs to get it back, Alex has planned to help him get it back, I really hope he'll get it back. I like them because for a while I thought that live music was dying and those kids proved me wrong, they can sing and play their music live! To me they don't look like those made up commercial family band, of course they're cute and all but still I have to recognize that they rock! So Naked Brother Band's fan tune in this Saturday for &lt;a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=25656&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.natnalex.com%2Findex.php%2FMojoMeter.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Operation Mojo&lt;/a&gt; and then watch it later on Nick with your kids....have fun ya all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Natnalex" src="http://socialspark.com/uploads/socialspark/public/assets/470/natnalex.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;map name="map1875"&gt;&lt;area href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=25656&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.natnalex.com" shape="rect" coords="0,0,206,45" rel="nofollow" /&gt;&lt;area href="http://socialspark.com/code_of_ethics" shape="rect" coords="207,0,225,45" rel="nofollow" /&gt;&lt;/map&gt;&lt;img alt="Post?slot_id=25656&amp;url=http%3a%2f%2fsocialspark" border="0" src="http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=25656&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2Fdisclosure_badge_grey.png" usemap="#map1875" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-2622573966584896365?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/2622573966584896365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=2622573966584896365' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/2622573966584896365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/2622573966584896365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/11/operation-mojo.html' title='Tune in with Nat and Alex'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-5380132396413975101</id><published>2008-11-19T20:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T15:52:41.388-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Laid-back Doers!</title><content type='html'>Laid-back Doers are friendly, happy persons. They enjoy being together with other people. Smart, eloquent, witty and charming, they like to be the centre of attraction. They do not like to be alone. Their zest for life ensures that others feel well in their company and that they quickly get to know people. Laid-back Doers get the best out of every moment - many people of this type have a gift for making their whole life one big party. Boredom is unknown in their presence because they are very good at carrying others away with their enthusiasm, their good mood and their optimism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abstract thinking and profound philosophising about the meaning of life appeal less to Laid-back Doers. They are pragmatic, realistic and live completely in the here and now. At work too, they prefer it when it’s all go and they can act out their purposeful manner to the full. They have no problem handling several tasks at once and they blossom out in crisis situations! A varied field of activity with a lot of social contacts is just the right thing for them. One will also seldom find them inactive in their spare time; due to their open, curious nature, they mostly have many hobbies and interests. They are not afraid of the unknown: as they are flexible and creative, they quickly adjust to new situations and make the best of them. They sometimes come into conflict with strict rules or hierarchies by which they quickly feel constrained and against which they rebel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As friends, Laid-back Doers are generous, helpful persons who attach great importance to harmonious relationships and a good atmosphere. Their sociable manner means that they have a large circle of friends and they love having the house full of many different types of guests. They are happy to give in to their spontaneous moods and fancies in the just one or two important things. This makes them appear somewhat unpredictable to those with a quieter nature. When it really matters, you can rely on them one hundred percent. As partners, they are creative, impetuous and imaginative - as long as their partner knows how to fascinate them. They can hardly stand boredom or routine in a relationship. They do not like conflicts at all; if a relationship becomes too strenuous or involves too much effort, they tend to withdraw from the partnership and start to look for a new partner. However, if one manages to keep their curiosity alive in the long term and surprise them again and again, one has a loyal and loving partner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmmm... This describes more my personality....hehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goodnight everyone....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-5380132396413975101?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/5380132396413975101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=5380132396413975101' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/5380132396413975101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/5380132396413975101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/11/laid-back-doers.html' title='Laid-back Doers!'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-9163439815703840126</id><published>2008-11-19T19:13:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-20T08:50:37.620-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What about a game for Christmas?!</title><content type='html'>Kids are used to get everything they want from Santa. Now, you can introduce your kids to this game, Princess Bride, based on the classic hit movie. &lt;br /&gt;Princess Bride is included in a PC/MAC game pack consisting of 5 games, it's more like five games in one! &lt;a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=25666&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fyovia.com%2Fprincessbride%2F" rel="nofollow"&gt;Princess Bride Game&lt;/a&gt; will let them interact with a cast of their favorite characters from the film. This game will make the perfect gift for this holiday season.&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure that the kids will be thrilled to get that game, I remember the movie, I saw it when I was younger. It's a fairy tale about a beautiful girl who is to be married to a nasty prince, but who is in love with another. I think this game would be better for girls but the pack proposes games for all kinds of tastes.&lt;br /&gt;The game is widely available, in all major retail store and ofcourse online. The game is clever and full of adventure, for once you're not in space shooting some aliens. With this one you'll be able to relax with your kids and enjoy some family time.

What happened to those days? What happened to the idea of "for better or for worse?"&lt;br /&gt;Life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook. And you might be surprised to find  out that my husband isn't the perfect husband! He likes to play his music too loud but somehow my husband and I have learned to accept the imperfections in each other.  Over time, we have stopped trying to make each other in our own mold and have learned to celebrate our differences. You might say that we've learned to love each other for who we really are! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/6hb4do" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People may want out of their marriages but they want to be OK, too!

I'm sure you did on TV or from the radio. For those who haven't, it's basically for people wearing eye glasses who want the eyes of their youth back. It reshapes your eye using a laser based technology, &lt;a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=25320&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ilasik.com%2F%3Fcid%3D1010+" rel="nofollow"&gt;LASIK information&lt;/a&gt; is now widely spread, safe and quick.&lt;br /&gt;iLASIK is the next generation of LASIK, the military personnel and the NASA have qualified this procedure for their pilots and even for their astronauts. Their high profile missions require them to have a perfect vision, and of course after investing a considerable amount of dollars in training them they will want to use the most reliable and safe procedure there could be, and the NASA chose iLASIK. &lt;br /&gt;The US military went through a thorough qualification process to prove that iLASIK was reliable and without secondary effects. 95% of the subjects involved in this study recovered a 20/20 on each eye without correction (without glasses). One of the great inovation of the &lt;a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=25320&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ilasik.com%2F%3Fcid%3D1010+" rel="nofollow"&gt;LASIK technology&lt;/a&gt; is that during the first step of the treatment a first laser beam will "scan" your eye in order to numerize the characteristics of one's eye.

The higher temperature of the knife after warming it up somehow "melts" the cheesecake, thereby ensuring a smoother slice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some restos, they retrieve the knife or the slicer from a container with warm water, so this practice must have been around for quite some time. I'm not quite sure though if this is applicable in other types of cakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SRxBC1BxwNI/AAAAAAAAAO8/YI4byqeBmB8/s1600-h/cheese.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 279px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SRxBC1BxwNI/AAAAAAAAAO8/YI4byqeBmB8/s320/cheese.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268157180966715602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-1488047210944989459?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/1488047210944989459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=1488047210944989459' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/1488047210944989459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/1488047210944989459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/11/slicing-cheeseake-tip.html' title='Slicing Cheeseake Tip!'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SRxBC1BxwNI/AAAAAAAAAO8/YI4byqeBmB8/s72-c/cheese.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-5219575255475377411</id><published>2008-11-12T16:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-12T16:50:20.232-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Life in Digital</title><content type='html'>We all live in a digital era (not in a Yellow Submarine....) and most of us have had an Internet connection for a while, but in my opinion we are only using 10% of the opportunities that the Internet can offer.

I'm kinda bad influence to her.lol! Then, my husband ordered a plate with different kind of cheese. They amazed me because they can eat it like chocolate despite of the strong taste of the real cheese...lol! I like cheese but I'm talking about the kind of cheese that I'm used to eat in the Philippines which is so mild compared to those cheese that are made in france. At the beginning, I couldn't really take the strong taste of those cheese and it's kinda bizaare for me but lately I kinda like it, especially the Brie! I just realized that the cheese that I used to like was not the real one or can't be called cheese, I'm glad that my husband introduced me to the world of what we call Cheese!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SRM2FxP_sUI/AAAAAAAAAN8/hvJE2Zh702M/s1600-h/nokia+pic+069.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SRM2FxP_sUI/AAAAAAAAAN8/hvJE2Zh702M/s320/nokia+pic+069.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265611862073913666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-8947586887905073422?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/8947586887905073422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=8947586887905073422' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/8947586887905073422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/8947586887905073422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/11/cheese.html' title='Cheese!Cheese!Cheese!'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SRM2FxP_sUI/AAAAAAAAAN8/hvJE2Zh702M/s72-c/nokia+pic+069.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-3469888172644822425</id><published>2008-11-04T18:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-05T12:41:31.290-08:00</updated><title type='text'>In business, the appearances count...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Whenever you have to present something, have an interview for a job or an important meeting, it is important to have an impeccable appearance.

Most of the stores have good deals and people stand in line at the stores early like at 3 am but now not anymore! For instance in &lt;a href="http://www.iblackfriday.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;walmart&lt;/span&gt; ad&lt;/a&gt; you'll find everything you need, all from your computer at home. It is really convenient because you don't need to drive all over town early in the morning to be able to  get the good deals at your favorite stores. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just like me who would like to get a new GPS for my car and I was thinking to check out &lt;a href="http://www.iblackfriday.com/circuitcity-black-friday-sales.html"&gt;Circuit City&lt;/a&gt;. Also, I want to buy some clothes and more because I'm planning  to send something for my family in Philippines this Christmas. You can also purchase items online in this site and they offers email alerts to let you know when new black &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Friday&lt;/span&gt; ads have been posted. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may want to check this site on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Thursday&lt;/span&gt; after you ate your turkey. Anyway, you will be so full that browsing the web will be the only thing you'll be able to do apart from watching the game on TV!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-7779990133534998?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/7779990133534998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=7779990133534998' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/7779990133534998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/7779990133534998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/10/black-friday-shopping.html' title='Black Friday Shopping!'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-6968808885814648527</id><published>2008-10-28T22:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T08:54:12.920-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Hi friends....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Been busy this days because my sister in-law is here and don't have much time to play the computer because most of the time I go out with her to shop.

This how our civilization evolved to where we are now. I know...many will say that science and technology caused lots of trouble to humanity but this is another topic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I like to learn from others and read about the great people of our history like Descartes, Newton, Goethe, Shakespeare, Galileo, Plato and other great scientists and philosophers. I use to have books of quotes from those people but it would stay on the shelve like a dust trap even though I really find those quotes very inspiring. The other day I came across this new gadget that can tell you those quote and motivating sentences, as if Gandhi (another great) was next to you. &lt;a href="http://www.lifelearningdevices.com/"&gt;Life Learning Devices.com&lt;/a&gt; proposes a wide variety of those gadgets in several languages, you just have to press it to spread the wisdom around it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/6epmmk" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think that's great for the kids too, &lt;a href="http://www.lifelearningdevices.com/"&gt;Life Learning Devices.com&lt;/a&gt; had a great idea! And by the way, this gadget looks quite nice, a little bit like a crystal ball. Check this out; how about you wake up in the morning and then while drinking your favorite drink (for me it's coffee) you press the device and you hear: "Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress"...How about that!! By the way, this is a quote from the Mahatma Gandhi. I think this is really inspiring to hear because it's so true.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, we all have those small calendars about famous places in the world or sports, I think this is nicer and much more interactive. I think we should never forget what the greats of our world said and this gadget will keep on nourishing your mind every day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/5bxzrg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-1709000861825702112?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/1709000861825702112/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=1709000861825702112' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/1709000861825702112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/1709000861825702112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/10/gadget-of-wisdom.html' title='A gadget of Wisdom!'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-8847862093067838253</id><published>2008-10-23T13:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T13:56:09.939-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A life without complain</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;If you think you are unhappy, look at them.....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SQDipI8vVBI/AAAAAAAAANE/aWqmkOtdumU/s1600-h/0.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

It's the first time I went there. I was confused about how it looked like and what's going on inside but now not anymore! hehe&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By the way, at first I thought we were not allowed to go inside because Pauline was with us, well it didn't happen and I'm glad about it. haha! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It looks nice inside but it's really crowded which is typical for this kind of place. Actually, we waited for like 20 to 25 minutes to be seated but the good thing is they had like a small store which you can hang out in if you're waiting for a table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The food was great, especially the food that my husband ordered, I think it's a meatloaf with some mushroom sauce and mashed potato as the side. I wasn't able to take pictures with the food because we were so hungry and forgot about it. But, I have some pictures taken at their store and a bit inside the restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheers!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFyNYVebI/AAAAAAAAAL0/KUzePP-tlm4/s1600-h/Picture+033.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFyNYVebI/AAAAAAAAAL0/KUzePP-tlm4/s320/Picture+033.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259225562493581746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFroxixwI/AAAAAAAAALs/tl87AQHr3S4/s1600-h/Picture+035.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFroxixwI/AAAAAAAAALs/tl87AQHr3S4/s320/Picture+035.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259225449587984130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFhmySM0I/AAAAAAAAALk/B-lRrwXxRUA/s1600-h/Picture+034.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFhmySM0I/AAAAAAAAALk/B-lRrwXxRUA/s320/Picture+034.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259225277255529282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFW2PgLhI/AAAAAAAAALc/i_vnkY8pn9s/s1600-h/Picture+030.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFW2PgLhI/AAAAAAAAALc/i_vnkY8pn9s/s320/Picture+030.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259225092426051090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-3484830032114719518?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/3484830032114719518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=3484830032114719518' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/3484830032114719518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/3484830032114719518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/10/sabado-night.html' title='Sabado night!!!'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SPyFyNYVebI/AAAAAAAAAL0/KUzePP-tlm4/s72-c/Picture+033.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-3355235672478019315</id><published>2008-10-19T16:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-22T13:56:13.637-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health'/><title type='text'>Goodby excess weight!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Hi mates!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you may know I live in Texas, more precisely in the Houston area.

Compare to my husband who is driving since he was 16 yrs old and for me its amazing!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, I'm starting to drive with my husband as my instructor.

It makes me exhausted!&lt;br /&gt;According to our pediatrician, this is most likely a phase. Our pediatrician advised us to use a baby carrier of some kind so at least I'll have my hands free while holding her.&lt;br /&gt;So I guess most mommies who are experiencing this phase like me should use a baby carrier so that you can still do your chores while holding your baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/4cwd93" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;a href="http://www.hugamonkey.com/"&gt;baby sling&lt;/a&gt; is really good and useful to have especially when you travel. It can be also be useful when you go shop or do your groceries because with the stroller you can't access everything easily.&lt;br /&gt;Last July we had our vacation in the Philippines and I can say that without our baby carrier it would have been a big pain for us because we had a lot of connecting flights. Sometimes it can get very painful when you have to transfer terminal via bus. In the Philippines it was really useful because we walked a lot and we didn't manage to bring the stroller.&lt;br /&gt;So mommies if you want to check out some baby carrier, check out this website www.hugamonkey.com.

I mean you don't have to be so worried about paying your big bills like the electricity, phone, insurance, credit cards and etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc99;"&gt;The only thing you have to worry in the province is the food to feed the family, because it is in our tradition to eat three times a day :), but sometime may turn out very stressing, especially now where the kilo of rice reaches 50 Pesos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc99;"&gt;If the food is present everybody is happy :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc99;"&gt;In province, we dont have water supplied by the city, so the water that we are using, till this time, is either from a well trough water pump or we usually call "BOMBA" either collected from the rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JjWOPtu2f0Y/SJTJHfJCErI/AAAAAAAAAG4/iCeNbmltSU4/s1600-h/DSC01254.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230026197739639474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 401px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="240" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JjWOPtu2f0Y/SJTJHfJCErI/AAAAAAAAAG4/iCeNbmltSU4/s320/DSC01254.JPG" width="343" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-8608470683697818590?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/8608470683697818590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=8608470683697818590' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/8608470683697818590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/8608470683697818590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/09/simple-life.html' title='Simple Life.....'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JjWOPtu2f0Y/SJTJHfJCErI/AAAAAAAAAG4/iCeNbmltSU4/s72-c/DSC01254.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-3284084448287958925</id><published>2008-09-02T18:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-02T19:12:29.189-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Rock the Bayou Festival</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Hi everybody,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last weekend I went to a rock festival in Houston: Rock the Bayou.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My husband wanted to go there just for a guitar player I've never heard about before, Yngwie Malmsteen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;According to him, if you're into electric guitar you'll kow this guy.

It's about the stealing of piglets in our neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;It goes like this;&lt;br /&gt;my sister has one pig which just gave birth with 11 piglets, our neighbor has also a pig with piglets. One night our neighbor saw a guy feeding her pig at around 9 pm, so she shouted at him like, "Hey!what are you doing?" Ofcourse the guy was surprised and at that moment he ran away very fast....our neighbor screamed something like "THIEF! THIEF!" but it was too late because the thief disappeared like magic!lol.&lt;br /&gt;They realized that it was the thief strategy to feed the pigs first so that it would be easy to take them all. It would have been a big money for him because they tried to take the pig (mother) and the piglets.&lt;br /&gt;It's a good thing that he didn't succeed because if he had, my sister's pig would have been the next target. well...my piggy story ends here!!haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's my sister's pig and piglets picture that i took last month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JjWOPtu2f0Y/SJyryjotFlI/AAAAAAAAAIg/OC-m-2vEmKc/s1600-h/DSC01256.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232245752145450578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JjWOPtu2f0Y/SJyryjotFlI/AAAAAAAAAIg/OC-m-2vEmKc/s320/DSC01256.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Just love pig because they are nice and harmless.....love you pigs!!!!bwahahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aurevoir.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8621353532273686778-8853327022789397345?l=tessablack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/feeds/8853327022789397345/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8621353532273686778&amp;postID=8853327022789397345' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/8853327022789397345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8621353532273686778/posts/default/8853327022789397345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessablack.blogspot.com/2008/08/piglets-thief.html' title='Piglets Thief'/><author><name>Tessa :)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17062955065809272827</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cOcpOukWgRM/SUvrkFVLGNI/AAAAAAAAAQU/HwVNzqJdXEU/S220/nokia+pic+052.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JjWOPtu2f0Y/SJyryjotFlI/AAAAAAAAAIg/OC-m-2vEmKc/s72-c/DSC01256.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621353532273686778.post-5973994435865454411</id><published>2008-08-22T07:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T11:58:47.170-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Friendship Award</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JjWOPtu2f0Y/SJxXsDVH94I/AAAAAAAAAIY/UZcD0wxiBUg/s1600-h/liza_1aug.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232153281417443202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JjWOPtu2f0Y/SJxXsDVH94I/AAAAAAAAAIY/UZcD0wxiBUg/s320/liza_1aug.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A FRIEND is one who knows you as you are, Understand where you've been, accepts who you've become and still gently invites you to grow FRIENDS FOREVER ARE CHERISH FOR LIFE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll give this award to Ms. Wena :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Btw, Friendship day is celebrated every 1st Sunday of August but I wasn't able to participate  because I didn't know that there is a special day to thank your friends for their friendship over the year, and show them how much they mean to you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eventhough It's late, I think it's better than never ayt?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wena is my bestfriend since college days till now that i already have my own family.&lt;br /&gt;Though, we're far from each other our friendship never ends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for being a wonderful friend!
