Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life... a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year - and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God.
Happy thanksgiving to everyone......

Born to be wild!
Hi mates! My husband wishes he could ride a motorcycle but he doesn't have the license. He would like to get one and customize it its way. I would like him to put some saddlebags on his future bike, because for me the main drawback of a motorcycle is that you can't carry anything else than yourself and a backpack around.
Philippines best cities to live in!
I'm so proud of my beloved city...Davao! :) It's the number one on the top performing cities list.
Makati, Cabanatuan, Tagbilaran are RP's best cities to live in
By CARMELA FONBUENA
abs-cbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak
Among the best cities in the Philippines, Makati City, Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija, and Tagbilaran City in Bohol offer the best quality of life, according to a new survey of the Asian Institute Management (AIM).
These three cities ranked highest in the quality of life category among 25 cities that made it to the AIM’s Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking Project 2007, a survey of cities’ global competitiveness.
The cities were separately ranked according to size. Makati, Cabanatuan, and Tagbilaran were categorized as metro, mid-sized and small-sized, respectively.
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.
Unlike its previous surveys, AIM decided not to rank the cities based on total performance.
This is the 5th round of the AIM survey on Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking.
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.
Among the relevant aspects of quality of life are social welfare of the people, peace, and order, quality of living environment, and local amenities.
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.
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.
Cabanatuan was credited for its good access to commercial banks, low or non-existent informal fees, and total crime solution efficiency.
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.
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.
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.
The following is the complete list of the top performing cities.
Metro Cities:
1. Davao
2. Lapu-Lapu

Lavrenti Lopes the next Al Pacino?
Have you guys ever seen this actor? 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 Official Website 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. You may want to youtube the title.
Saturday shopping!
Yesterday my husband and I were so bored and really wanted to go out. 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!
Anyway, I'm hoping to go shop next weekend AGAIN.... :P
Have a great day!

Tune in with Nat and Alex
Hi mates!
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 Operation Mojo 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 Operation Mojo and then watch it later on Nick with your kids....have fun ya all!

Laid-back Doers!
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.
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.
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.
Hmmmm... This describes more my personality....hehe
Goodnight everyone....

Divorce, Isn't the answer!
The divorce rate has risen immensely in the past century, and sometimes I wonder why. What happened to those days? What happened to the idea of "for better or for worse?"
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!
People may want out of their marriages but they want to be OK, too! If you and your partner have hit a rocky patch, try talking things trough (calmly) or consider checking it with your counselor. You can find one at National Institute of Marriage. Their team of marriage counselors has a wide variety of training and experience but are all dedicated to one single passion, saving marriages and making an eternal difference in the lives of people. National Institute of Marriage is there to help couples in creating a healthy, growing, and lasting marriage.

Sleepy mommy -_-
I'm so tired and sleepy today....I didn't get enough sleep lastnight becasue my daughter is sick. Usually, when she's not feeling well we keep her in our bed at night to make sure that she's fine. I gave her tylenol(fever reducer) because she has a slight temperature, I hope she'll be fine. It's really hard if your little ones get sick, especially infants.

iLASIK, NASA approved!!
Have you guys heard about the LASIK procedure? 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, LASIK information is now widely spread, safe and quick.
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.
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 LASIK technology 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. Indeed everyone's eye is unique.

Good job friendster!
Yesterday I was so pissed because my friendslist in friendster was gone and I don't have any idea how it happened. Then, my friend told me that she had same issue on her friendster, so I assumed that everybody was experiencing the same thing.
This afternoon I opened my friendster and noticed that all my friends were back on my list. Well done friendster because they made it up!

Food Drive
Hi guys!
Here is an example that I think all major companies should follow. In those time of crisis and almost recession Cydcor invited its employees to participate in a pre-holiday food drive. I think it's important to help the people in need when you can do it, companies like Cydcor is showing the way.

My birthday celebration...
I celebrated my birthday last night and I invited a couple of friends for a dinner. Usually, we just eat out as a celebration but this time I managed to cook. My friend Ana came and brought her karaoke gadget(magic sing)haha, we were dancing while singing and forgot the kids for a while ahaha! It was fun but I was feeling really tired maybe because I'm not used to do this kind of thing now!
Anyway, my husband was very supportive and my small birthday party went well thanks to him. I'm looking forward to have a good night of sleep tonight because it's been three nights that I'm not getting enough sleep.
Well, that's it for my birthday updates and I thank you guys for the gifts and ofcourse for coming....Voila!
Opening my gifts with nora....
The red juice that knocked us up! ahaha

Biggest body issue!

Go to lap band, let them solve your excess weight issues and they will take care of your journey to a healthier life!
Slicing Cheeseake Tip!
When I was working at the restaurant my colleague told me this tip, that if you want to slice a cheesecake without it falling apart or having the cheesecake bits stick to the knife, immerse first the knife in hot or warm water. The higher temperature of the knife after warming it up somehow "melts" the cheesecake, thereby ensuring a smoother slice.
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.

The new payment model is ideal for small businesses or individuals seeking a simple, ad-free, and reliable Web presence without a continual cost. Customers can even use a free 2ip sub-domain to eliminate domain name registry fees and use 2ip’s free Web site builder tools to avoid costs associated with creating the site.
“Web sites hosted in our ‘Pay to Own’ program are designed for Web newcomers who are looking to get online without the recurring expense. With 2ip, it’s like having an electronic business card with a professional feel,” said Jimmy Tanzil, managing director of Ichthys Media LLC, 2ip’s parent company.
2ip will use high-end servers to host ‘Pay to Own’ customers. Each system is powered by Dual Quad Core processors and between 4 and 8 GB RAM. To keep hosting costs low and maximize quality, 2ip intensively uses automation and virtualization procedures to manage existing hosting accounts and provision new sign ups.
The ‘Pay to Own’ Web hosting plan is priced at $25, which allows users to host an unlimited number of domains on the account. It includes 100 MB of disk space, unlimited data transfer, and unlimited email accounts. Additional disk space is priced at one-time fees of $10 per additional 100 MB or $75 for additional 1,000 MB.
In addition to the ‘Pay to Own’ model, 2ip also offers traditional subscription-based plans, which offer more features, power, and storage allotments. Subscription-based shared hosting plans start at $3.75 monthly.

The Australian Pink Floyd in Houston>2008
We managed to watch the Aussie Floyd concert, my friend Madel babysat my daughter. I'm so thankful that she was free to babysit Pauline aside from watching her two kids. Anyway, the concert was cool! They really played like Pink floyd and it amazed me so much! I never thought they could play that good!
They played the whole The Wall album, with all the noises and voices! They took a break in the middle, at the same moment you would need to change from CD1 to CD2. They had a screen in their back, they were projecting images from The Wall the movie as well as some original things of theirs.
Here's some pictures that I took during the concert!!!!

Getting out of it!
Do you believe that too much is not good?
Most of the time people under addiction are in fact deep down crying for help. It's against their will that they enter this vicious circle. Alcohol and Drug Recovery is the equivalent of a normal hospital for a plague that is not recognize as a desease. In this place patient care, staff availability and of course a big dose of listening are their main way of cure.

Cheese!Cheese!Cheese!
Last Saturday we went to a wine bar nearby with my husband and sister in law. I had a glass of wine and my husband got a beer but the strong one. Ellen is not allowed to drink because she's minor, though I managed to share my glass with her.haha! 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!!!!

In business, the appearances count...
Whenever you have to present something, have an interview for a job or an important meeting, it is important to have an impeccable appearance. We often hear the expression "dressed to impress" and laugh about it, but at the end of the day, the people appraising you will sure be influenced by the way you dress.
My husband often has to wear suits and he has several ones, unfortunately they go out of fashion very fast or he cannot wear them anymore. Then comes the time where we have to purchase a suit, and of course there is nothing better than custom made suits. Made to measure is suits are very expensive and it's not always easy to find a good tailor. Made to Measure is an online suit master; just take an appointment to take your measures for free in one of their select location then select the style and the design, after a quick wait you'll get you brand new custom made suit for an excellent price.
Furthermore, Made to Measure will remember your measures for future order. Check them out and you'll see that their prices are very attracting, it's a tailored suit for a off the rack price.
Illusion!!!!
This is not a test - just a phenomenon. All readings are explained.
More than likely you said, 'A bird in the bush,'! And. ....... If this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see
That the word THE is repeated twice!
Sorry, look again.
Next, let's play with some words.
What do you see?
In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil). Now, what do you see?
You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?
What do you see here?
You probably read the word ME in brown, but........
When you look through ME you will see YOU!
Last one.
What do you see? 
This one is quite tricky!
The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.
More Brain Stuff . . .
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg.

Lazy Tuesday....
My sister in-law left to france yesterday....
I am so lazy and sleepy today because I didn't get enough sleep last night because my daughter was running a slight temperature. I just hope to get a nap today when she'll fall asleep....I need to do a lot of cleaning in the house too...sigh....
When times like this I really wish that my family is just one block away from my house to help me. It's already lunchtime but I don't know if I will eat because I'm so lazy to cook for myself.
Nyway, that's it for now folks!
Have a nice day to all!!!
