backup storage

I am frustrated with some of my old DVDs. I couldn’t get some of the photos anymore that I was planning to copy to my EHD. So there, DVD isn’t much of a good backup storage. Someone suggested why not use the laptop as the backup storage. Well that is because I’m using an office laptop. I still can’t decide between desktop or a laptop for personal use. I’m currently reading computer reviews to help me search to match my needs. Actually I just need something that I can use for blogging and digiscrapping. All other features are just bonus.

Gotcha!

While reading colon cleanse reviews, I suddenly thought of blogging again. Good thing because I accidentally found the virus on my EHD!

For months now, I’ve been scanning my laptop and EHD for viruses. I remember finding EXECUSER.EXE which I successfully deleted but still both my laptop and EHD were just too hard to work with. Then today while trying to upload photos I was posting via FileZilla I found this maliscious looking folder called RECYCLER. So I googled it. And yes, it is indeed a virus. After deleting, I also checked my laptop, and there it was, another recycler folder.

Let’s see. I’ll observe next week if my laptop will still boot and load for almost an hour. Tsk tsk.

working late

While prices kept going up, including medical expenses, you hope and pray no one in the family gets sick. Ever. Since, that is almost impossible, it’s always good to have health insurance. Good thing the company where my husband and I work provides health insurance.

But for those who, like own a business may, of course, opt to buy their own health insurance. Just look for the best yet cheap insurance out there.

Sometimes I wonder why people who work in call centers have much higher medical coverage than people who work in, say, IT companies. Are people working in odd hours considered more prone to sickness? Hmm, sounds logical.

Using the web to find craft projects

This is a guest post by Veronica Miller

One of my favorite ways to use my hughesnet tennessee internet service with my kids is to search for different craft projects and recipes that we can try out together. I enjoy looking through different do it yourself projects and dessert recipes with my kids and allowing them to pick out what they would like to make or try out together.

I started this process with my oldest daughter when we were planning my youngest son’s birthday party. We logged onto our hughes net internet service together and looked for recipes and designs for his birthday cake. She picked out a type of cake and then decided on a specific design for cupcakes that she thought her brother would love. We then set out to create what we had seen on our hughes net satellite. Not only did the party turn out great, we got to spend a good deal of time together, bonding.

Looking through different kids projects together on craftsforkids.com, allowed me to see her different tastes and preferences. It’s a great way for us to spend a good deal of time together, and also gives us something to work on and complete together. Looking through the different pages of projects and craft ideas lets me see how creative she is and what type of styles she likes. It also gives me a chance to let her make decisions on her own.

weddings and vacations

Women dream of the perfect wedding. Some have decided on the design, cut and even fabric of their wedding gowns as early as their teenage years. This may sound funny but it’s true. Some fancy a wedding inside the church, while some on a beach.

You got to love those photos of destination weddings on white sand beaches of Riviera Maya. The resorts exude the romance perfect for a beach wedding set-up. The combination of fresh flowers, white sand and the sound of ocean waves contribute to the whole luxurious and elegant layout. What’s more is the food served on their three gourmet restaurants.

Take note that the resorts are not only for weddings. They are perfect for vacations and even have packages designed for families. Check them out now and see what best matches your vacation needs.

found an early Christmas QP freebie

Yes, you are not the only one who’s a bit surprised that there’s a Christmas QP freebie as early as now. I am surprised too but more than that, I am glad to have stumbled on this nice freebie.

Since we’re starting to feel like Christmas, maybe I can start listing down some of my wishes and maybe, just maybe, the husband decides to buy me an exercise equipment that I fancy. Who knows? I could get lucky this year.

gold investment

I wish I can strike gold so I don’t have to control my wants and I can buy everything I want. I recently came from a trip with my family and as much as I want a vacation to recover from my vacation, I need to work so I can get paid so bills are dealt with on time.

I wish I can retire at a young age so I can do things I enjoy outside of work more like photography! I need to be wiser with my dealings with money. Friends have started to invest on gold from the Monex Deposit Company as they say gold is more reliable than mutual funds or the stock market. Their value never depreciates and actually gets stronger in value over time.

found another nice QP!

In so many teen flick that girls adore the French. There is an impression that French women have really slim bodies. I wonder if I can achieve that slimness too after taking Solo Slim for a month or two. :P

Anyway, aside from the accent and slimness, I wish I know how to speak and read French. Just like today, I stumbled on this nice bloggie that gives away free nice QPs. Good thing though that the blogger is nice enough to blog in English and translate some in French. It would be just cool if I can comment on her blog in French too. :lol:

Found a Mickey Freebie!

Eight days from now, I will be visiting Hong Kong with my sister, mom and aunt. Initially, we planned on going to Macau after shopping clothes, bags and loose diamonds. But change of plans, we are going to Disneyland instead. Works for me, as I can at least study the photo opportunities when my family and in-laws goes back in October. :D

Today, I found the perfect freebie to get me started scrapping those Disney photos. Brittney of BriitishDesigns has released her newest kit, Miss Kitty. And she’s giving away a free sampler Mickey Mouse style.

What a cutie!

Pretty Freebie

I love browsing more than watching TV. I could learn anything from hcg shots austin to shopping sales. One of the nicest things about hopping from one blog to another is finding freebies along the way. Who am I not to share what I found? :P

I honestly do not understand the rest of the words in their (non English) shop, but I saw the word “Free” so I guess that’s good enough for me. And who wouldn’t want a freebie this pretty? :D

You may download it here. Enjoy! :D

shower chairs

When I was already 9 months pregnant and right after giving birth and was just too weak to stand in the shower for too long, I sit while taking my bath. I did that too when I was recovering from my gall bladder removal. I borrowed one of my mom’s shower chairs.

The chairs are very comfortable and perfect for shower. They have holes on its seat. This is a hygienic and healthier option compared to regular seats as they let the dirty water drip simultaneously as you shower. There are now so many options like foldable, removable back and with wheels. Check them out and find the one for your needs.

Lucky Brand items

Shopping online, not only gives convenience but also an opportunity to shop for style and fashion that are not available in your area. When I stumbled on a site, Zappos, selling the Lucky Brand, I just can’t believe the great items they offer.

It is so easy to shop on this site for the Lucky Brand. You can shop by category. It is easy to find dresses and handbags. What’s also convenient is when you have chosen a category, for example women’s dresses, you can filter by dress type, size, color and price! It is just so easy to find things you want to shop!

Zappos also sells men’s, as well as children’s Lucky Brand items. Check it out now!
