Tea Craze

Posted by Denice in , ,

Teas are not new to this country, but somehow businesses have managed to give them a new twist. I remember that we used to stock tea bags in our house during my younger years. My old folks would usually give me one cup in a hot water every time I would have stomach ache or gas. Until now, my wife would stock some tazo chai tea and different other tea types in the house. Today, bubble tea business has exploded in the last two years and you can see one in almost every corner, with people selling and buying bubble tea with some creative variations. Some do not even taste like tea anymore.

Business Website

Posted by Denice in

Having a website nowadays seems to be a standard requirement in businesses. You can easily introduce your business to a lot of people when you have it. It can also help build up social networks and media to introduce made the small and even big businesses. It is not expensive to set up a website compared to the advertisement on radio and television. There’s a lot of less expensive ways to do when your business have its own website even if you are without the full knowledge in web building. Websites and beautiful printed advertisement, calling cards and brochure like in zooprinting.com can help. I am sure that with this, businesses will be known by a lot of people in a few time.

Coffee Drinkers

Posted by Denice in , ,

My husband and I really certified coffee drinkers. My husband can’t seem to start his day without having coffee for breakfast. I suspect that he can survived with just coffee in the morning. 

 As for me, I always have my instant coffee in the office so that I can have it while working. We love to try different varieties and flavors. My husband is even dreaming of having his own coffee or espresso maker like the one we saw in Starbucks and other coffee shops. He is a frequent visitor of www.coffeemakers.com as he is in search of some new coffee makers available.

Headphones

Posted by Denice in ,

I w0nder what my husband would be telling me about skullcandy that he wanted to have. I thought it’s a scary thing or just a candy. I know it is a brand of headphone he wanted to have as a gift. He knows how durable it is, though and that has earned great reviews. In addition, this brand also comes in great style with lots of athletes and celebrities using and endorsening this around the world.


We were on a computer store last weekend because my husband had his computer upgraded. While waiting, I as also looking around prices of new laptops and found wholesale laptops that will appear cheaper when bought in new units. But what captured me was the screensaver of one of the laptops displayed. It was the rock band Journey featuring its latest album cover The Revelation which already made records worldwide.

Now the band will be having a concert in the Philippines this coming March 14, 2009 in SM Mall of Asia open grounds. This will be an enchanted evening with the Journey.

My Son’s Gift Card

Posted by Denice in ,

My son received a gift from his classmate a couple of household spray and a personalized set of
gift cards with Kyle’s name printed on it. It was the same gift card also that we would use in all the gifts that we have prepared last holiday season and in all the videos and photo CDs we gave to Kyle’s classmates last December.

Videoke Night

Posted by Denice in , ,

My husband and I had a singing spree two nights ago at the Island Cove Resort as the entire family welcomed my sister fiancé who came all the way from Belgium. A two-hour videoke night surely made his last night visit in the Philippines enjoyable to him especially when he sang songs from his favorite band, the ABBA.

Singing at the Island Songs was part of fun apart from swimming in this report. Hotel rooms are already perfect and cozy spacious. The bathrooms used Moen faucets to ensure everything is in order as far as our leisure experience is concerned.

Josh Groban

Posted by Denice in ,


When our son Kyle was still a baby, I recall that he’d really like to hear Josh Groban’s songs. He will be easy to put to sleep as long as he was hearing his songs. Attempt to turn off his music and he’d awaken.

I will never forget when we were walking and he was still on his stroller, we were shocked when he laughed out loud upon hearing a Josh Groban song somewhere along the way.

Baby Boom

Posted by Denice in

These days, by mere coincidence, a lot of my friends and relatives are giving birth. Since I only keep a small circle of friends and relatives and most of them know each other, I’d better make sure I’m giving unique baby gifts lest each one of them find themselves receiving the same stuff from me. These are the days when baby books and magazines --- online or offline --- would come in handy. I may possibly work on a similar budget range but at least each one should look interesting. Most of all, I hope that these mothers would be delighted to receive these gifts from me as I’ll try to make sure I’ll be happy to receive the gift if I were to be given such gift.

Music Downloading

Posted by Denice in ,

After I had my Ipod, I just find myself asking my husband more often to download for me free MP3 music over the net. He has also been busy converting my hard-to-find music collection from CD to MP3 format while working on my laptop. That’s why we are considering to add more computer memory so that I can still work faster on my computer.

After all, he already downloaded 800 plus music, three videos and still downloading more music albums for my Ipod.

Healthy, Comfy Feet

Posted by Denice in

When it comes to footwear, I’ve always been a fan of flats. Even when I reached puberty stage where every girl my age would be dreaming of high heels, I’ve been passing up the chance to wear one.

I love flat shoes, rubber shoes, flat sandals and all other footwear that spells “comfort.” If I have to wear heels, then it would have to be like those of Dansko: thick and rubber-like heels that can carry my entire weight. It has the sophistication of high heels minus the discomfort. I also like its designs that are true to Dansko’s quest for healthy feet.

My New Digital Camera

Posted by Denice in

My sister won a Kodak EasyShare V803 digital camera as a price in a raffle draw in her office’s event. But since she already had one she gave it to me instead. Although my husband wanted a digital SLR he was also happy to have a new camera to use.

He immediately purchased a 1G SD card for it. While I bought a camera wallet for it.

I’m not surprised why my sister is fortunate in raffle draws. It’s probably her generous spirit going back to her. In fact, she also won an Ipod 80g Cassic and another Ipod shuffle in that same night as well.

Something Old, Something New

Posted by Denice in ,

Once a year, one household can’t help but to make home improvements by letting go of what’s not needed nor wanted anymore in favor of new acquisitions.

What to let go of and what to keep are relative from person to person. For my husband, he’s more than willing to let go of his existing 21-inch TV in favor of a flat screen LCD. In my opinion though, I’m more inclined to re-acquire a tv lift cabinet. After all, our existing TV looks perfectly fine for me.

Love is in the air on August 8

Posted by Denice in ,

Just when you think that June and December are the marrying months, think again. For the superstitious, August 8, 2008 was believed to be a lucky day. Some of my friends are of not spared from this belief. Thus, most of my single friends chose this date to get married.
A month before this date, tons of Quinceanera invitations to their weddings filled my in-tray in the office and all of them bear August 8, 2008 as the date of their wedding.

Bad Guys, Good Guys

Posted by Denice in ,

There are already two rockers I know whose featured biographies. These are John Bon Jovi of Bon Jovi and Gene Simmons of KISS band. Looking at how they appear in their bands with their make-ups making them look scary and honestly seem like they’d need acne treatment the following day, you’d wonder how they are behind the klieg lights.

It’s great to learn that both are good guys in real life --- quite far from the images they used to project before their billions of fans worldwide. Bon Jovi is said to be an ideal husband. Gene Simmons on the other hand, despite his not being married to Shannon Tweed until now, have reportedly not been drinking or taking drugs in real life.

Couch Potatoes

Posted by Denice in


My husband and I are couch potatoes that our dream for our future abode revolves around completing the necessary technologies and musical component so that we can enjoy sitting around all the more.

The deal is he’ll take care of setting them all up, complete with home theater sconces with film strips, and the whole works because he is such a genius on these things.

How old are you?

Posted by Denice in ,

Whenever my birthday comes, I couldn’t help but ask myself how old I am --- and I’m not even thinking about numbers. Jules Renard said “it’s not how old you are but how you are old.”


But figure this our. I started playing the piano at age three. I could be counted on by my mom to buy stuff she’d want from a sari-sari store a year after. I started having crushes as early as fourth grade. Come high school, when worries of my classmates would revolve around boyfriends and treatments for acne, I already looked forward to a career in journalism and that passing through college looked like a means to an end for me.

In some ways, I feel I’m too old for my age.

Yet in some ways, like when I’d start to wonder why things are the way they are, I feel that I am not even born yet.

Honestly, I may have stopped counting after 25.

Seven Years

Posted by Denice in


July 25th marks my seventh year at work. It was like yesterday when I decided to seriously consider a career in market research. Two years ago, the company I work for gave me personalized pens as token on my fifth year with my employer. I guess that’s how it is when you do what you love. You hardly notice the time passing you by.

My Son's Bugaboo Stroller

Posted by Denice in ,

It was almost like yesterday when Kyle was still a baby crying in his crib. We’d then bring him in the park or in the mall where he’d be in his Bugaboo stroller.

Little did I know that time would fly fast and before I know it, he’s off to pre-school.

It’s very important to be with your kids especially while they are young. It’s the time when they need you the most and the time you’ll surely cherish.

On Diets and Fat Burners

Posted by Denice in ,

“Thin is in.” This is what the media across formats try to tell us, especially women. Be thin and you will tend to enjoy better acceptance by society. Be on the plump side and you will feel otherwise --- louder than words can say. Plus the fact that health-wise, the lean almost always has an edge over the heavy ones.

Consequently, more and more people are diet conscious nowadays. So don’t be surprised to find your bottled juice to suddenly don L-Carnitine, green tea, and other fat burners. Manufacturers are simply quick to pick-up the trend among today’s consumers.
