Cake Pops

I was watching Rachel Ray (or was is Martha?) some time ago when making cake pops was one of the segments. I instantly knew I wanted to try them. But you know me, I am one who delays doing things until I forget them altogether, LOL! Cakes pops were out of my mind until this afternoon when I was reading my feeds. Someone said she tried it and even said these are perfect to give-away this Christmas. I googled and saw these creations by Bakerella:

I also googled how they are done and I certain I can make them. The question is, will I be able to make some just in time for Christmas?! LOL!  

Dream Bedroom

I found my dream bedroom this afternoon! Love at first sight, I tell you! Look!

I love that the space is not too cluttered; the open space is very much welcome. The elements just work perfectly together. I love the colors too! I showed this to Ane and I think he agrees that this could be the bedroom of our dreams! I am keeping this photo for when we build our home, surely.

Driving while Intoxicated

I was never a fan of drinking then driving. I am lucky to have married a man who’s only a social drinker, does not drink more than two bottles of beer at any time. And we do not leave the venue until I am sure that he is sober enough to drive us home, otherwise I would drive (I am not a drinker). There are cases in the some states though that even if the blood alcohol concentration is less than the illegal percentage, drivers are still charged for DWI. These are the instances that an individual would need legal help like those offered by Houston DWI lawyers. It is difficult to be in a situation when you know that you are not guilty so legal assistance would really matter.

Life’s a Beach.

Summer is still a long while from today. Even if there are trips to look forward to, I am equally excited about our beach trip in March. I am now looking at bathing suits and cover-alls that will fit my body type (on top of looking for outfits for the other trips!). I can’t wait to bask under the sun; been a while since I got sun-burnt, haha!

===

If I only wait for a trip to the beach to get a tan, others choose to use tanning beds instead because of lack of time to make that trip perhaps? I sure hope they apply tanning bed lotions to protect their skin! If you want to try these beds, click here for more information on suitable lotions.

Raw Talents in Eat Bulaga

A friend shared this link and I was mesmerized by the voices of Adrian and EJ:

 

 

No wonder the Dabarkads judges had a hard time deciding who between the two will take home the gift prize. I was awed by the raw talents that I realized I was gaping and almost teary-eyed while watching. I shared this to Ane and my brothers, and they too were amazed. Just goes to show that there are a bunch of Filipinos talented enough and are just waiting to be discovered. I heard they were invited to sing live in EB last Saturday but we were out for lunch and I missed it. Please share if you already have a link!

Increase Site Traffic

I am not (yet) an SEO expert. I feel I have so much to learn about it. It is not that simple you see. It takes a lot of effort to be able to increase a site’s traffic. It’s a combination of link building, directory submission, and knowing the right keywords to place (and when to place them) among other things. I am relatively new in this field and I am glad I have friends who are generous with their tips and tricks. I hope by next year, my sites will become fully optimized because that would mean more cachings! :)

Cute and Fun KamKam Furniture

Found this really cute furniture collection by Korean designers and creators at kamkam.org:

This is called The Dressed Up Furniture Series designed as a delightful combination of everyday actions. The pieces can be buttoned up since the main theme is to combine clothes and furniture. Each piece can also stand as storage space for toys and magazines, among others. See that buttons, belts and pockets were applied to suggest clothing connection. I love these stools! And I dig that the colors outside and inside are different but coordinating.

Facial Care and Work-outs

I read somewhere that you must wash your face prior to working out at the gym or simply exercising at home. This idea actually makes sense especially if you have been out on the streets the whole day (pollution, smog, ack!) or wore make-up. When you sweat during work-out, your pores open up and when you wipe the perspiration off your dirty face, the dirt will get pushed into and clog your pores which may cause pimples and blackheads. Would you rather go for the best acne treatments later than spend a few extra minutes in washing your face when you can actually avoid the former? Anyway, washing the face after a work out is also advised to avoid further clogging of the pores.

Serenitea’s Something Big

I just recently discovered Serenitea. It was kind of an accident that I was able to try it the first time. It was dinner time and we were looking for food. We parked right in front of the San Juan branch and I am glad I tried it (I used to look for the store along Wilson when it is located along Abad Santos).

Serenitea will soon celebrate their second year anniversary next month. In that light, they posted this announcement in their Facebook page:

I wonder what will happen on December 19. I am excited about it and I really want to know what they plan to do for their anniversary. A few goodies for the clients wouldn’t hurt, huh? LOL!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Shout out to family and friends in the States, Happy Thanksgiving! I am sure most of you are busy getting ready and preparing for the special dinner (with your zero tolerance knives, perhaps?). Just this morning I’ve read tweets about Thanksgiving dinner recipes and I can only imagine how the dinner table will look like! Someday, I would like to try roasted Turkey!

More than the feast, I guess you already have contemplated about things to be thankful for. I think that is really what this holiday is all about. Enjoy peeps!
