travel seat sale
Ok, I admit ... I am a sucker for airline sale! Oh let me re-phrase that, I am sucker for any kind of sale or bargains. The husband would often say that I live and breathe for sale. And somehow he can't understand why I have this certain "magnet" on sale. May it be in-store, off-site, warehouse or online sale, I never miss it! I am always ever present. And the best part, I rarely leave the store empty-handed. LOL
Thus it came no surprise to the husband when I told him that I already bought our airline tickets for our local Cebu trip this coming September, on sale again. Yes, I am one of the few lucky online customers who was able to grab the Cebu Pacific Domestic sale last night. Booked tickets for the three of us : husband, me and my daughter for P2,760 only or $60. Great savings, eh?
And now I am excited as another local airline, PAL announces their midnight sale on Saturday. I wonder if they will offer International-bound travel? Will I be lucky again to get Singapore travel this time? Well, let's see.
For the meantime, need to check out hydroxycut review. As you all know, I am gaining weight lately and I need an effective fat burner pill. I hope this diet pill review site will be informative and helpful for me to decide which brand to take ... and hopefully, budget-friendly pills too.

Ever heard of diabetic socks? Well, this is my first to read about this. And I thought it was a crazy idea to come out with such product. But there are several products available in the market now for diabetic people. One of these, the diabetic socks. It controls moisture which can reduce risk of infection like foot ulcers. It is made without seams or from wrinkle-free material to reduce pressure and blistering. And with the non-binding top design of the socks, it improves blood circulation. Thus, the next time you are thinking of giving a holiday gift to your loved-ones with diabetes with history of diabetes in the family, try to check this specialized socks. Useful and practical gift.

garden improvements
Another home improvement project for the family. But this time, not our home but instead for my dear mother in law's house. You see, their house property resides on a very big lot (around 500 sqm) wherein they have ample space for garden, unfortunately, it has been neglected for quite sometime now. Since she's very busy with her school work and with dear father in-law (FIL) busy with his business, the garden was left unattended. The grass already withered, soil dry and you can see bushes around the area.
And because of this, dear MIL decided to have it landscaped by a porfessional home and garden specialist. Aside from keeping the garden simple and grass-free, she's thinking of putting a koi pond too. Actually, a refreshing change from our old and boring garden, it will be perfect especially the koi pond will be the accent and main attraction of the house. Of course, MIL's very particular with the materials to be used for her garden improvement. This includes good quality grass (blue grass), minerals and rocks to be used, plants, kois and even the pond uv filters. She's working on a tight budget and with a strict timeline, praying that her garden will be ready in time for dear FIL's birthday. And that would be few weeks from now. Hahaha! Really wish her all the luck.

on Chanel Flap
Lifted this post from The Purse Blog Forum, wherein I am also a baghag member. I've been drooling for this classic flap for years and never did I imagined that I will be caught mesmerized under the magic spell of CHANEL FLAP. Happy to say, I gave in ... just recently. Why? Check out my post below.
Five reasons to own a CHANEL flap bag:
1. They’re just going to go up in price later: Seriously, are you considering buying one? If you are, go ahead and do it. Chanel is among the masters of the crippling price increase, jacking up the MSRPs of its bags every six months to a year, sometimes by as much as $500 for a basic bag. As a general rule, bags don’t hold their value all that well, but constantly rising prices keep the timeless flap bags fairly easy to resell later. Plus, even if you don’t take resale into consideration, you’re just going to have to fork over more cash if you wait.
2. Owning one is like getting in to one of the most exclusive sororities on campus: Except, you know, this is real life. Legendary actresses, socialites and royals have carried this bag, and hey, if you can’t marry a prince, you can at least buy the same bag as the broads who can. Or the same bag as the girls from The Hills – it seems as though the bag has become the go-to accessory when a younger woman wants to signal to the world that she has grown and matured into a fashionable lady.
3. So many designers have been “inspired” by the flap – if you’re going to pay big bucks, get the original: Everyone from Urban Outfitters to Marc Jacobs has been accused of stealing from Chanel’s signature bag, and there’s a good reason for that – it’s timeless, iconic and still as relevant to luxury customers today as it was back in the 1950s. Chain straps and quilted leather have become nearly synonymous with the idea of the designer handbag, and the Chanel flap may even be more well-known across the world than the illustrious handbag holy grail, the Hermes Birkin.
4. Buy a flap bag in caviar leather and it will likely outlive me and you both: Seriously, that stuff is indestructible. Run your fingers – no, better yet, run your fingernails along it next time you’re near a Chanel bag made of the material, and you’ll see what I mean. It has a finish nearly as tough as Louis Vuitton monogram canvas, but you’re paying for actual leather instead of, well, canvas. With how much those monogram bags run these days, the price of a neutral leather Chanel bag with similar durability seems downright reasonable. But…
5. Despite their cultural ubiquity, the bags themselves are still too price-prohibitive for everyone to own: They come in sizes ranging from XS to XL, but even the smallest of the Chanel flap bags is way more expensive than the average woman wants to spend. You’re in no danger of seeing your bag on every woman on the block (unless you live on a really, really nice block, but if you do, there’s probably no sense in trying to stay one step ahead anyway), and even if you see a lot of people carrying non-Chanel bags that look similar, there’s absolutely no comparison when you see and hold a Chanel flap bag in person.

getting insured
Have you heard anything about insurance advertising? Nowadays, pushing insurance premium is a tough job for companies. Priorities of people changes, and with the high rising cost of goods and commodities, insurance is oftenly dropped to least priority expense in the household. But in my side of the world, auto insurance in the market is now considered a neccessity instead. With the recent flood calamity typhoon Ondoy, a lot of properties: home and cars were severely affected which sadly has no insurance at all. The Acts of God clause used to be a FREE coverage or item from a basic insurance, but come 2010 ... it is already a premium coverage. Worst, it costs more with the Acts of God (AOG) coverage. But of course, after experiencing the Ondoy wrath, the people are now more cautious and careful thus availing not only the basic package but also the premium coverage. Well, that's what you call insurance advertising, capitalizing AOG. Creating the need than focusing on the benefits of the insurance.

in search of diet pills
I've been looking for effective diet pills for months now, and so far I've tested a few of them. Others provide promising results, while others ... just promises. With so many available diet pills in the market, it's hard to determine effective diet pills. Other diet pills comes with flashy packaging, while some fully endorsed by big time celebrities. Recently, I've stumbled weight-loss review site, and I've read clinicallix as one of the leading weight loss pills in the market. Price wise, very affordable and it can burn fats effectively, while suppressing the appetite. Great benefits eh? Downside, no side effects. Could this be true? I sure hope so. Anyway, do check out the reviews about clinicallix and be the judge of this weight-loss product.

home office
As I've shared a month ago, the husband will be working from home. After more than ten years of working in an office environment, he finally bid goodbye to the hustle and bustle of corporate life. Instead, he will be working full time at home while taking care of the kids. Hahaha, lovely! It's a dream job for him, he has full control of his time. He can even work full time at his present job in the telecoms, be a consultant in his previous work and can also focus on his personal business. That's multi-tasking eh!
Given all these business opportunities, the husband will need to set up his own office at home now. We would probably convert one of our guest rooms into office. And as a small office, he needs to invest on office equipments such as printers, new LCD monitors, business phones, fax, computers and even need to install office applications and scanning software. Well, that's full-blown home office for the husband.
