without hubby knowing it!

May 28, 2009

Every time I turned on my laptop, there is window that pop saying that the battery is reaching its usable life. I told hubby about it, but he is saying there is nothing to worry. However, as I use my laptop I feel its effect. Before, I used to recharge after using it for more than two hours. However, these past few days I am continually charging.

Without hubby knowing it, I looked for a battery that fits my laptop model and brand. I find a best buy at buy.com site. I think I will buy it without hubby knowing it. Besides he doesn’t support me. And I need it to continue my online stuff and games.

he really lost weight

May 28, 2009

I am surprised to see my brother lost so much weight. I thought it would be impossible for him to trim down because he got so big when he was 18. Years after he is still big and nobody, including, me expect that he will succeed. The first thing that came up in my mom is that, he used diet pill like that of Nuphedra. But, he said that he was so stressed out with his work that he trimmed down weight abruptly. Well, it is not a good way to lose weight. I told him that he should light up a little to look good and healthy.

Car Traveling Tips

May 28, 2009
  • car-traveling-tipsAlways use a car safety seat for infants and young children. A rear-facing car seat should be used until your child has reached one year of age and weighs at least 20 pounds. Once your child is at least one year of age and at least 20 pounds, he can ride in a forward-facing car seat, but it is better to keep him rear-facing to the highest weight and/or height allowed by his car safety seat.
  • A child who has outgrown her car safety seat with a harness (she has reached the top weight or height allowed for her seat, her shoulders are above the top harness slots, or her ears have reached the top of the seat) should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belt fits properly (usually when the child reaches about 4′ 9″ in height and is between 8 to 12 years of age).
  • All children under 13 years of age should ride in the rear seat of vehicles.
  • Never place a child in a rear-facing car safety seat in the front seat of a vehicle that has an airbag.
  • Set a good example by always wearing a seat belt.
  • Children can easily become restless or irritable when on a long road trip. Try to keep them occupied by pointing out interesting sights along the way and by bringing soft, lightweight toys and favorite CDs for a sing-along.
  • Plan to stop driving and give yourself and your child a break about every two hours.
  • Never leave your child alone in a car, even for a minute. Temperatures inside the car can reach deadly levels in minutes, and the child can die of heat stroke.
  • In addition to a travelers’ health kit, parents should carry safe water and snacks, child-safe hand wipes, diaper rash ointment, and a water- and insect-proof ground sheet for safe play outside.

hubby’s pimples

May 16, 2009

Ha ha ha Hubby wakes up this morning with three pimples on the upper part of this mouth. The three bumps look so yucky and dirty. He feels so disturb about it because I kept on teasing him, the same way he used to do with me. Good thing I have a number of skin care products at hand. I let him used my Acne Spot Treatment that speeds the healing of blemishes on-the-spot. He is very happy as he sees the result at the end of the day. But, I am happier than he is. I was able to take my revenge for laughing at his breakouts.

strolling before heading home

May 16, 2009

Hubby and I went to the mall this day to buy two large luggage. We are finally going home this time. It’s the only thing that matters now as we don’t know where to put our clothes without it. As we stroll before heading home. We found a nice lighting fixtures set. I instantly thought of the lighting in our new apartment. Good if it has lights and bad if it doesn’t have any at all. We can deal about it when we get there. For now, I am just excited to start packing our stuff. But, that is still five days to go. I will just wait for another day before doing so.

SLR Camera

I’m sure you will agree with me that it’s not easy to pick a digital SLR camera. In fact, new models are introduced each year and it’s getting harder to tell them all apart. Here are some steps that will help you find one.

  1. Find the best camera for you, imagine for a moment that instead of a digital SLR, you’re getting a bicycle. You go out and buy a beautiful high-end racing bike because it’s on sale, but what you really love is off-roading through the mud. Your new bike isn’t going to work very well. The same thing can happen when you pick a digital SLR camera. In this step, take a moment and figure out what you really want to photograph. This knowledge will provide you with a solid foundation when you start comparing digital SLR cameras.
  2. Understand the Jargon, if someone asked you “What is a digital SLR?” could you give them an answer? Do you know what all of these digital SLR terms mean: megapixels, anti-shake, ISO, buffer and metering mode? You should know before you start to shop! When you understand digital SLR jargon you’ll be able to find a camera with all of the features you need, and none of the extras you don’t.
  3. Pick A Digital SLR Camera, this one is easy if you’ve done steps one and two. In fact, it’s almost a no-brainer! You know what photos you love to take and the features you’ll need to take them. Now you just have to pick a digital SLR camera that’s a perfect match. Ways you can go about this:
    • Compare features: evaluate SLRs based on megapixels, cost and popularity
    • Follow my advice: find out my picks for the best digital SLR cameras
    • Compare head to head: see how cameras stack up against each other
    • Read a guide: the in-depth guides tell you all about a specific camera
  4. Compare Digital SLR Camera prices and buy, now you’re ready to compare digital SLR camera prices! But notice what’s happened – instead of comparing prices for every single camera on the market, now you only have to find the best deal on the one camera you know you want. Isn’t that easier? Compare Digital SLR Camera Prices, SLR Camera Packages, Digital SLR Dealers, Best SLR Deals, and Digital SLR Guide Store.

May 16, 2009

Not all people are blessed with beautiful body. Some feel conscious that eventually decreases their self-esteem. Well, I have known one person that wants to slim down. She feels that no man would ever want to be with her because of her weight. Most of her boyfriends are married man. Well, she only had two ever since. And she feels she will never have a new relationship with her current weight. One of her ways to trim down is through dieting and exercise. That venture run for a year and she stop last two months. As of now she is taking in ephedra diet pill. Let’s see if she will continue the battle. She gave up last time. Hopefully not this time.
