Acobay sharing....

As if the social networking sites I am a member of aren't enough, I joined another one...Acobay, it is the newest interactive site for people who shares the same interest.

You can blog, share and review stuff you own, and upload photos for your reviews. The site is easy to navigate and doesn't have complicated buttons and all those.

Acobay is relatively new, they are still building it up but having experienced firsthand the 'share my stuff' part, I guess this site will buzz up soon. It provides user insights on products written about by members, this reviews would surely help someone who is deciding on what to buy as they are written by consumers as well.

There are stuff in various categories that continues to grow in numbers as a result of users writing down their opinion, recommendations and reviews. From cars to toy cars, audio to movies, computers to musical instruments, home stuff to travel its all there, and yes, even your pets has a place there too.

This is also a great place to promote your blog, I left my link under the Anything category...am now counting how much visitors came over to visit.

Baby cuteness and beddings

Would you agree that babies are synonymous to cuteness? I have always thought so...even my kids have a certain cuteness in them when they were babies. Even stuff for babies such as bottles, shoes, cribs, strollers, pillows and baby bedding tends to be cute too. All the more when they come in the same colors or design to complement the baby's room and other cute stuff.

Baby Bedding Sets are the perfect gift for the cute little ones. Take this 12 piece 100% Cotton Nursery Baby Crib Bedding Set offered at Babybeddingpalace.com. The set includes  a baby crib quilt, baby crib bumper, a diaper stacker and lots more. Visit their page to see more of this package and other gift ideas.

Scrubs


Do you like the comedy series Scrubs? I do, hubby and I always have a good laugh watching it and we'd giggle more when Elliot speaks in German. Anyway, I actually want to write about the nursing scrubs the staff there are wearing.

Before scrubs are only worn by nurses and surgeons and other operating room personnel when performing surgery. Nowadays it is worn also by every hospital personnel. There are so many manufacturers of scrubs but do you know where to buy scrubs that looks so sleek and chic? It's the Scrubs and Beyond website which offers mens scrubs, nursing shoes and clogs, themed clogs and beautifully designed women's scrubs.

Take this mock-wrap scrub top for example. You can still be stylish while at work with this top available in different colors. There are also matching pants for each, browse the website and see what more they have to offer!

Plumbing jobs

A plumber back in the old days is a person with expertise in working with lead (latin; plumbus). Then they were known as a Plumbarius, later on shortened to plumber until to this day. Nowadays a plumber is a tradesperson who specialises in installing and maintaining systems or piping used for potable (drinking) water, sewage or drainage. Years of training or experience are needed to become a skilled plumber. Some require that plumbers be licensed. So unlike Super Mario it is not just a game.

A Master Plumber is someone who has demonstrated the mastery of the trade of plumbing. The Master Plumber may have worked in a single area or multiple areas of the plumbing trade. Plumbing codes are strict, and need for quality plumbing work is high since health and safety problems are associated with poor water supply and sewage removal. Plumbers need to be accurate when doing their jobs.

You might think that repairing your dipping faucet or your lose pipe would save the problem instead and might make the problem worse and later on cost more for repairs. With a Fort Worth Plumber, you get get a fast reponse with an assured quality of work. They offer
  • Slab Leaks Repair
  • Water Heater Repair & Replacement
  • Drain Cleanouts

Diploma Frames

Back home, hangs 2 college diploma frames, those of my mom that could be considered antique already. But until now, the frame is intact and still completely protects the diploma.

A diploma frame or a graduation picture frame and what it holds has always been a valuable item not just for graduates but for the parents too. It is proof of the student's hardships and years of burning eyebrows and at the same time the result of parent's blood and sweat as they provide for their children in finishing school.

Through the years, diploma frames has always been a good opportunity for business as it has become a sought after memento of graduation. There are a lot of designs that has been presented as well. Using different kinds of handcrafted wood, varnished and designed to be elegant and yet keeps the diploma from wear and tear.

Disney World Tickets

For families who love to travel, the beach or anywhere water fun is available would be the first choice for summer or fun rides and fantasy parks, read: Disneyland. Aside from our neighboring countries surrounded by water, Orlando (Florida) is one of the best spots that vacationer's deem worthy of their money especially with packages tailored for individual or group needs. The child in each of us would surely come out when visiting theme parks as Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Sea World or Universal Studios. How about Disney Waterparks such as the Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach?


Budget alloted for an Orlando vacation might not be too easy though. Considering the high cost of travel (whether land or air) plus the cost of accommodation, meals and tickets with the number of persons included (for us, 2 adults and 3 kids) means $$$$$!


Nowadays though, package vacation deals are the trend. When we went to Disneyland Paris, we got plane fare, hotel accommodation and meals plus Disneyland tickets for a reasonably-priced package, all booked by our agent. Saved us bucks and time of looking around for each as the agent gave us a good deal, everything included.


Buying an Orlando vacation package is the same. Agents selling Orlando vacation packages get discounted rates from theme parks directly and shares this with their customers. Surely there are other ticket sellers around Orlando, but which one provides the best? Having over 50 years of management experience in the theme park industry, Orlandofuntickets.com takes pride in having reliability and convenience with their service. Orlando vacation packages will present you with lots of options for theme park tickets but it's up to you to choose what you like for your vacation.

Money matters...to us not

Wifespeaks: Memoir Mondaypiglito


Until now, money has not been a problem between hubby and I. I remember even when we were still dating we would go dutch at times or he would pay for our lunch then I would pay for dinner later on (we used to work together, sort of). Nothing much has changed, we  keep a single bank account and also one paypal account for all our earnings even if he gives the bigger share. My monthly government allowance goes to (my) school anyway.


Being contented at the moment as well as moderation would be the key. "Hangga't maigsi ang kumot matutong mamaluktot, kung humaba na at lumapad ay saka mag-unat unat," goes the Filipino cliche on spending.



- While the blanket is short, learn how to bend. When it gets bigger and wider,  it is then that you can stretch.




Outdoor Men's Clothing

Specifically designed clothes for different weather and use is what Hans Clothing is about. Their line of Outdoor Clothing provides hsm000a-ma level of comfort and warmth whichever circumstance the clothe is worn. Take this waterproof Muck boots which provide maximum protection and stability on steep terrain, if you are someone who spends a lot of time doing dirty jobs is for you.


Their Carhartt clothing designs has been providing quality outdoor gear and clothing for men & women since 1949. Carhartt Jeans, Carhartt Pants, Carhartt Shorts and Carhartt Shirts for the warm summer months, or purchase some Carhartt Coats, Jackets and Gloves for the cold of winter among others are available in their inventory. I'm sure hubby prefers the kind of designs they have.

Online portal for men's clothing

Hubby has definitely changed clothing preferences. He used to wear jeans and shirts as opposed to a more formal looking shirt plus tie and black pants.

We found a very useful online portal, ShopWiki, that lists a variety of stuff about men's clothing---complete from shirts to ties, tuxedoes to training gears, shoes, dress pants to jeans and other accessories.

ShopWiki gives online shoppers a wider range of choices, more products, more stores, price comparison plus lots of valuable tips. I find their page on Men's Guide to Getting dressed helpful, especially the 'style' category. I am not particular with how my husband dress, so the points they gave there is an eye-opener of what clothes and accessory combination work well with each other and what's not. The portal interestingly provided also a Designer's page that gives buyers a good idea which among them is best to choose for certain types of clothing.

Also, being the shoeholic that I am, I tried searching for 'shoes' and whoa! in a hit, thumbnails of pumps and ballerinas and where to buy convinced me to shop more!

Don't let the bed bugs bite!

Bed bugs are not only unsightly, there could be arisk of allergy and disease from their bites. Reason why I make sure that the kids' matresses are well cleaned so they don't have to chance to build up anywhere. Thank God I haven't had problems about them yet. There are anyway many ways now to get rid of bed bugs not just by killing them off but by preventing them from infesting your matresses.

Random - Weekend Snapshot

skyshot

This sky shot was taken sometime in the middle of the week. Friday and Saturday were rainy days so there wasn't much to do but stay home. Hubby played a lot that time...Guitar Hero, and a couple more games (rainbow six I think and another one I didn't bother  to ask the title of, I just don't like games with too much blood).


The kids played Mario games in their room instead...since I do not allow them to watch too much bloodshed games...I on the other hand finished some opps (yes, trying to raise some funds hehe!).  Cooking most of the time but unfortunately not able to study for the exams. I finished school and now I need to take the test on Wednesday, good thing tomorrow and tuesday are holidays.




reddress

At home, I asked dawty to try on the strappy sandals I bought her last year, they were still big then but now they fit her perfectly. You can see this same pair on my other blog's header. We're having too much debates over shoes, dresses and socks. She likes wearing socks with whatever shoes she wears and its a mismatch of course! She even wear socks while sleeping and it does irk me because its too hot, she wouldn't even listen if I tell her that it will make her feet sweaty and smelly...sturkopf (stubborn) I would say! She's starting to dislike wearing dresses too and nicey shoes like that...



puzzle

Meanwhile the little boy enjoyed playing with wooden puzzles, their Oma brought when she came. He was so ecstatic about these and about the cheese that the Oma brought too. Below photo was taken at breakfast, he was munchin on nothing but cheese and was so happy about it. If asked if he likes the cheese he would enthusiastically answer, "Hmmm yummy! Käse käse  käse!" while jumping.


So how's your weekend? Hope you enjoyed it too!
