My briefcase

We're watching Deal or no Deal, the popular game show of Kris Aquino in ABS-CBN, it's a game where a contestant has to choose one briefcase out of 26 briefcases with corresponding amount. The lowest amount is 1 peso while the highest is 1 million pesos. This game show is not just popular here in the Philippines but in other countries as well so I know a lot of readers from other parts of the world already know the mechanics of this game. During the first season of Deal or no Deal i even sent an entry thru text hoping to become one of the contestant but unfortunately i didn't receive any reply. My mother kept telling me to try again and again because she believed that if Kris or the staff of Deal or no Deal would see my situation i might pass the interview out of sympathy.hehe But i guess a backer is still needed to be able to qualify as a contestant. Anyways i just leave it to God, if it's His will then thy will be done. By the way have you noticed the 26 briefcases? I wonder if they are Zero Halliburton briefcases, Zero Halliburton is a popular brand in the US. Well whatever brand of briefcase it may be it doesn't matter to the contestant as long as it has the jackpot in it! As for me if i would choose my briefcase it would be briefcase no. 7. How about you? ^_^

Last minute at the mall

We went to SM Baliuag this morning to have a last minute shopping. The Mall opens at 10:00 am, there were many people outside waiting at the entrance door when we arrived. Since it's the first mall in our town a lot of people were so excited to shop around, while some went straight ahead in the movie houses upon entering.

This holiday season everything seems to be so expensive! From clothes, to housewares, groceries, etc., i'm trying to look for some items on sale luckily we still found some like the blouse for my daughter which is at 10% off and my bag for 20% off. We really have a tight budget so i have to watch out our finances and make sure we would not be overspending.

Now we're here at my parents place to celebrate Christmas with them and with my other siblings and relatives. I don't have access in the internet at home so i grab the chance while i'm here, my monitor breaks down and i'm still looking for a replacement. Hope i could find soon, we're on a long holiday vacation from office and that means i can't update this blog and i can't visit other blogs as well. Anyways i'll take care of that later, i have to go now my kids are waiting outside we'll visit our grandmother.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas everyone!

A busy Saturday

I wasn't able to make even a quick post last Saturday, I was very busy posting at Paraiso Philippines Forum, there was a contest and i was one of the ten participants that day. The one with the highest number of posts will win the game so i tried my best to posts as many as i can, but unfortunately my internet connection as well as my computer was not as fast as the other contestants so i did not win.hehe.. The contest starts at 8 am until 8 pm, so imagine the pressure and stress haha.. anyway i really had fun :) I'm glad hubby was so supportive, when he arrived together with my kids here in the office i asked them to wait for me until the contest ends. Good thing my officemate bought pancit palabok and drinks as Christmas treat for our casual employees, i took some for hubby and kids so they won't get hungry while waiting for me.

When the contest ends, around 8:30 we immediately drive back home. We arrived at 9:15 pm I thought i could finally take a rest but my kids said they're still hungry.. I checked the fridge but yaikks!no food left! I only saw some dried fish, so that's what i cooked for our dinner cum midnight snack.. hahaha

Tagaytay Highlands adventure

We're thankful that God has blessed our company this year, inspite of the global economic crisis our company managed to meet the budget set for 2008. And because of the good sales turnout our company president who's a member of Tagaytay Golf Club gave us the privilege to tour and stay for a night at Tagaytay Highlands.

It was a very nice experience seeing the beauty of nature God has created. Wish i was able to take better pictures.. i only had phone camera with me. I was hoping to get the Digicam or the Patek Philippe watch during our Christmas raffle but i wasn't lucky enough to win the prize. Anyways i'm still grateful that i went home with an Apple iPod shuffle as a minor prize :) which i gave to my daughter as my Christmas gift to her.

Bear-y special meme

I'm back from two days vacation and it's time to post some pending tags i received from my dear friends online.

This tag's from A Girl for all Status. Thanks mommy for this tag!

The Spirit of BEAR-iuca

-START COPYING HERE-

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a powerful Genie Princess named Mariuca who was known throughout the land as the friendliest, most popular blogger in the blogosphere kingdom. Adored and admired by international visitors and commentators from around the world, the Genie Princess travels the blogosphere on her magical flying carpet, always looking for ways to share her good fortune with others.

Over the past two years of blogging, Mariuca has met so many new people, from all walks of life and all over the world, each one bringing a little of their culture and lifestyle when they visit and comment on Mariuca’s two sites. So on her 2nd Blog Anniversary, Mariuca wanted to celebrate with all of her international blogosphere buddies by hosting a bear-naming contests at Wishing On A Falling Star and Mariuca’s Perfume Gallery and to pass her two lucky, cuddly teddy bears along to the winners who came up with the best names.

On the opposite side of the world, from the moment Roxy (the prolific Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blogger) and her sweet daughters London and Maddie saw the teddy in his personalized t-shirt and blue muffler at Mendham, NJ. The three New Jersey girls named him immediately and burst into a wonderful song for BEAR-iuca:

BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, amazing teddy cheer.
BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, we’d love you to come live here!

Mariuca received 16 possible names for the Mariuca Teddy Bear, making it hard for the Genie Princess to choose just one…then Alakazam! A bolt of lightning delivered the perfect way to share BEAR-iuca’s good fortune to bloggers around the globe. While the soft, stuffed, cuddly BEAR-iuca is on his way to live with Roxy, London, Maddie and Rex in the Roxiticus Valley, the Spirit of BEAR-iuca is racing through the blogosphere to bring happiness, holiday cheer, and beary best wishes to everyone who welcomes him into their online home and passes along the BEAR-iuca good luck charm to ten friends.

Please play along with us by following a few important rules:

1. Add your site(s) to the list once you have received the Spirit of BEAR-iuca badge of teddy bear cheer.
2. Pass along the Spirit of BEAR-iuca and his cheery badge to as many people as you like.
3. Leave a comment HERE once you’ve passed on the Spirit of BEAR-iuca.
4. Once Roxy and the Genie Princess have visited your site to make sure your links are complete and proper, you will then be added to the Master List.
4. To ensure everyone receives equal link benefit, please UPDATE your list regularly!

Congratulations Manny Pacquiao!

Our boxing champ Manny Pacquiao did it again! Manny won after Oscar dela Hoya's camp threw in the towel as the ninth round was about to start. The "Dream Match" turns into a total mismatch people say "it's like David slaying Goliath!" Pacquiao was in full control of the fight, with Pacquiao landing punch after punch De La Hoya just chased after him trying to catch him with a big punch. Two of the three ringside judges scored all eight rounds for Pacquiao, while a third gave De La Hoya only the first round. The Associated Press scored every round for the winner.
Congratulations to "The People's Champ"- Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao! you truly made us proud to be Pinoy!

Stay fit and healthy this Holiday

Aside from the Christmas gifts we also think of what we shall set on our dining tables for our family and guests during Christmas. We often think of mouth watering foods and lots of dishes in order to please our loved ones, but i think we should also consider the health benefits of our menu offerings.

A good choice of healthy foods to prepare this holiday season are salads. It can vary from fruit, potato, macaroni, or (the healthier choice) vegetable salads. A salad wouldn't be complete without salad dressings! so here are some examples of salad dressings and how to prepare them:

Honey Mustard Dressing: Prepare ½ cup water, ½ cup olive oil, one teaspoon of mustard powder, 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a pinch of white pepper. Mix all.

Health Benefits: Honey is considered a wonderful healing agent for all ages. Some scientists consider honey an amazing antibacterial substance which is comprised of sugar-like glucose and fructose. It contains vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B5, and C) and minerals (magnesium, potassium iodine and zinc).

Parsley Dressing: 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and another 2 for chopped parsley, ¼ teaspoon onion powder. Beat the olive oil, lemon juice and onion powder well. Add the chopped parsley.

Health Benefits: Parsley is among the world’s most popular culinary herbs. It is a powerhouse of nutrients containing high levels of beta carotene, Vitamin B12, folate, calcium, and vitamin C.

Lime, Oil and Garlic Dressing: ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons shallots (finely chopped), 1 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup lime juice, and freshly ground black pepper. Use a small bowl and whisk the salt, garlic and shallots in it, together with the lime juice. Continue doing so until the salt is dissolved. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the mixture is emulsified. Season the dressing with pepper and add a little more lime juice.

Health Benefits: Olive oil gives good amount of vitamin E which is known to delay the changes in cellular structure and thus delay the signs of aging.

Backyard Salad Dressing: 1 tablespoon honey, 1/3 cup lemon juice, fresh ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of minced fresh tarragon, 2/3 cup olive oil. Dissolve honey in lemon juice then add tarragon and pepper and stir. Add olive oil. Put everything inside a covered jar and shake vigorously to avoid clotting of the mixed ingredients.

Health Benefits: The ancient Greeks used tarragon to treat toothaches due to its pain-killing properties. Tea made with tarragon and chamomile may be used to treat insomnia. Others even use it to stimulate appetite and relieve indigestion.

That's it! Happy blogging straight from my heart :)

A dream home at Wilmington

California is one of the places in the US that i would like to visit someday. I have a cousin who's lucky to avail a house at Wilmington NC real estate and she told me that i'm welcome to visit her anytime. She said their place is located near a beach and that really excites me! I love to walk along the seashore or simply stay at the balcony to feel the cool breeze of fresh air. Hmm what a perfect place to live in. I wish i could also own a house at Wilmington NC real estate. ^_^

International Day of Persons with Disabilities

I read in the newspaper that today and every 3rd day of December we celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disability. This year’s theme "Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Dignity and Justice For All of Us’’ highlights the need for a renewed commitment to the ratification and full implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol. The observance seeks to increase awareness of gains that can be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic, and cultural life.

Being a person with disability I’m glad that special attention is given to us even once a year. I'm thankful for the people who exert their efforts in fighting for the rights of people with disabilities, seeking all means to provide support to show welfares for the disabled persons. It’s a sad reality that persons with disabilities often live marginalized lives, deprived of some of life’s most basic experiences. Some have little hope of getting an education, getting a job, having their own home, creating a family, raising their children, voting or enjoying a social life. For a vast majority of the disabled, shops, public facilities, transport, and even information are largely out of reach.

According to the news, in developing countries, poor medical conditions during pregnancy and at birth, traffic accidents, the prevalence of infectious diseases, natural disasters, armed conflict, land mines, and the proliferation of arms cause injuries, impairment, and a lasting trauma to the disabled. However, in some developing and developed nations, legislation promoting and protecting the basic rights of persons with disabilities has seen the disabled live fulfilling lives as students, workers, family members, and citizens. These countries have also been able to remove some physical and cultural barriers that had previously hindered their full participation in their communities. The disabled are not only entitled to their basic rights; they also have the right to be an empowered and empowering source of social, cultural, political, and economic development.

I hope as we celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, people will have a greater understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and wellbeing of persons with disabilities.
