Happy birthday Daisy wherever you are

>> Sunday, December 16, 2007



Daisy was my friend. She was suppose to turn 37 today. She is my kumare, her eldest (now in grade 3 - i think) is my godson. She has 3 boys all together. Youngest is just a year and a bit old. Her husband sent me an alarming text message that very day in August and I read..."that Daisy was taken by the Lord due to multiple organ failure from Dengue fever". What a shock. I called him and did not know what to say. I just listened. I guess, it helps him to be able to talk about the event/tragedy.

I recently exchanged some emails with her husband and I know the pain is still there. However, time heals all wounds and I'm sure he is comforted to know that Daisy is now in a safe place.

I always keep in touch with her at this time of the year especially that she celebrates her birthday so close to her son's.

I hope Daisy that wherever you are, you are happy celebrating your birthday. We truly miss you.

Save your photos in CDs or DVDs

>> Tuesday, December 11, 2007

I have so many photos in my computer I just have to back them up. You never know when and if the hard drive will fail you. I find that it is good to use blank CD or DVD to backup my digital photos and movies. At least I know that I will always have that copy. And for any DVD or CD media needs, Supermediastore.com is a good place to check. They offer a variety of high quality DVD-R and other blank CD or DVD media for your specific needs. They also carry DVD packaging case, computer hardware, memory, ink and toner cartridges and many more.

More often than not, these photos seldom gets printed. It is a good idea to create a Christmas DVD of my family or maybe a slideshow of several pictures you;ve taken this year and maybe even create a collage and send it to close relatives and friends.

And for your last minute Christmas needs, have your presents delivered to your loved ones. Free shipping offer to eligible purchases.

So for any of your mutimedia needs checkout Supermediastore.com. They do retail or wholesale.

I am tagging >Missy Misyel and >Kiko on this meme.

Must be a highway sign. I am close to the highway of where my life begins.


2. place I'd like to travel: Paris

3. favorite place: The sofa by the fireplace
Its winter and wouldnt it be nice to curl by the fireplace reading your favourite book?



4. favorite object: Angel Sculpture
not this one in particular , soomething smaller displayed in my living room.

- Another celebrity result. I picked one I really liked first but to stay true to the meme, I'm posting the 1st image which was Pink.



7. nickname: Leah
- First result is way too hot to post here, I guess my namesakes are just too hot too handle. Well, I went for a more wholesome result , the 2nd photo.

Get away and enjoy the sun this winter

It’s the time of the year when we usually hibernate and stay indoors to avoid the cold weather outside. I have been thinking of going places and doing some traveling. I have not done this in a long time and maybe, just maybe this is my chance to do so.

Wouldn't it be a nice Christmas surprise to see in my Christmas stockings a pair of ticket to a holiday in the clear and beautiful Mediterranean waters of the Ibeza? Sure it will! I'd be sure to checkout cheap holidays to Ibiza

Or are you somewhere warm and want to experience the refreshing coolness of Alaska?

Green Thumb Sunday - Christmas Tree

>> Sunday, December 9, 2007

This is a spruce tree...I think (I'm really bad in remembering names). I just love the smell of a fresh Christmas tree.

This is the 7th year we've had a fresh tree for Christmas.
We got it last week from home Depot. This photo was taken on the first day it was up and decorated. My hubby mixed some sugar into the water and he waters it everyday.
