I was cleaning our floor tiles when the doorbell rang, i opened the door and it was daughter A’s Ninang who came to visit us and brought Alyssa her christmas presents. I told her you should have inform us of your coming over, so that at least i could have prepare something for you. She laughed and said "pas de problème" i’m on a diet mode anyway. lol*

Finally we had the first snow of the season! I hate cold but looking at the white sorroundings are truly wonderful and refreshing. Usually stores here are closed on sundays but exeptionally they are open during christmas time. I maybe going out with hubby and dd for some picture taking at the park this afternoon. I am also thinking of dropping by at Sephora to get some moisturizers and under eye cream before heading our way home. I hope Mr sunshine will come out even for just a short while:)

Holidays are getting closer, right now stores and malls have already started putting christmas decorations. I loved it! But you know what? I do really miss our christmas back in my homeland the Philippines because for me, it is truly the best! And yeah, speaking of christmas we asked dd what she wants as presents. I know she's not hooked on cell phones so i try to think other things that pleased her the most. Perhaps some Nintendo DS games, books and or just give her cash money instead. lol*
I was watching the program «Kabuhayang Swak na Swak» via (TFC) The Filipino Channel. I always watched this program whenever i can, because they are providing lots of information especially to those who are thinking of ways to earn extra income. Last weekend they were showing the process of making decorative candles. I was really amazed watching at how easy it is to make one. I always have scented candles at home and thought that instead of buying them, it would be nice if i could make my own using all natural ingredients. Jp's cousin will be coming to visit us this christmas and it seems that scented candles would be a great gifts for her!
Read More......We are expecting a new addition in the family! Don't get me wrong, it's not me who is pregnant but, my SIL in the Philippines. wink* She and her husband (our youngest brother) are expecting a baby girl which will be due in a month time. I am so happy for both of them because my bro really wants to have a child for quite sometime now and here they are looking forward for the big day!
I remember few years back when his wife gave birth to thier first child, (a baby boy) but unfortunately the baby didn't make it alive. He was born premature and died few days later, It was so sad! Anyway, I wish both of them the best of luck and that things goes smoothly for the soon-to-be mom and her angel.
Yesterday i talked to my SIL on the phone and told her that they don't need to worry about getting a crib because i will take care of it. Since christmas is fast approaching, I thought of buying them a new baby crib and Baby Bedding Sets as our presents for the couple. I've seen that Baby Bedding Palace are featuring lots of unique baby beddings made from 100% high quality natural cotton materials. I find it perfect as gifts.
Dealing with hard drive failure is very frustrating. I remember few months back when my laptop computer crashed, all important files, photos and documents i had on the system were lost. Unfortunately at that time there’s no way possible to have them retrieved. So from now on, i make sure to have USB external hard drive at home to use in backing up important files, photos & videos from time to time. I learned my lesson:)
Today is the Grand braderie d’automne (sale) here in our city. When i woke up this morning i was glad to see mr sunshine coming up, the weather was just perfect to go out strolling in the city centre. Without hesitation i called up my shopping buddy and head on to our fav shopping place. There have been lots of promos especially on winter clothings & accessories. I've bought two pull-overs for dd and a pair of winter shoes for myself. On our way home my friend and i decided to stopped by Sephora and get some lip gloss and also this face wrinkle cream she have told me to try out!
I can't imagine how time really flies! I already got the renewal notice from the Insurance Company yesterday concerning our vacation home in pinas. Actually hubby and I don't know yet if we will have to renew for another term or find a new company offering the same home insurance coverage for less. What iritates me is the fact that we've been insured in the said company for over 15 yrs now and never filed any claims but our premium kept on rising. Probably, it would be the perfect time for a change.. what do you think?
Luckily as far as our health insurance is concerned, nothing to worry at all. I found a place wherein it is possible to buy cheap health insurance for the whole family!
Having a motorhome is very useful especially when it comes to going on places. In France, a lot of people choose to spend vacation renting motorhomes or trailers and stayed in tri-star campsites to saved €. Hubby and i never tried it yet but perhaps oneday we will. Finding an rv trucks for rent is extremely easy, but you need to get an rv insurance with maximum coverage just in case you experienced an rv breakdown while you're on the road to avoid problems.
Read More......Few months ago when I was having computer hard drive failure, it took almost a month before i could get my notebook back. A month without my toy seems like an eternity to me.. well, almost! lol* One thing i regret is when the technician told me that he didn't got the chance to saved any of the files and documents i had on the system. What a pity! So from now on, I am using online backup services to retrieved files just in case same thing happens.
Hello guys! sorry it's been a while since i did my last post here.. "laziness" drives me crazy these past days. lol* Today we had a very cold weather, only 0°c which is a little bit unusual for autumn season. I hate this time of year knowing that winter will soon follow but i got no choice except to lived with it. Right now i started taking hair supplement to fight hairloss caused by stress or seasonal change. I am also searching for an effective diet pill too. I need to make diet pill comparisons to be able to get the best!
Read More......Few days more to go and i will be celebrating my birthday! Guess how old i am now? hehehe* If you can give the right answer you'll get a slice of cake and a glass of champagne from me. lol* I don't have any plan of having a party because i want to spend it with just me, JP & Alyssa. I am very much thankful for everything God have given me especially goodhealth & loving family. My only wish for now is to get rid of this belly fat I have. Hope i could find a diet pills that work:)
Read More......Motorcycles became a new mode of transport back in my country the Philippines especially in areas where public jeepneys aren't available. Not only it consumed less energy but also a perfect means to escape the heavy traffic particularly to those who are living within the city. I have four siblings and each of them used to have one at home. I love riding on it despite of Jp's consent. And for this coming christmas it would be great if i could send them motorcycle covers as presents:)
Autumn is getting closer, right now i can already feel the cold weather here. Personally, i don't like autumn that much, certainly because i hate going out when it rains most of the time and temperature starts to getting cold. All i want is stay in the house and do nothing except: eat, sit and sleep. I loved hiking but not during autumn & winter season. I know it's bad for my health but i think it's time for me to think of other ways to burn calories. Maybe some kind of fat burners could help.

Read More......According to many.. "the secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age" Now, if there's a secret of staying sexy then, I am curious to know more about it. wink* I know we can easily find all sorts of diet pills and weight loss supplements to burn those extra fats and maintain a sexy figure, but I haven't tried any of it yet. I think for my eating habbits, self-discipline is badly needed.
I've been planning to paint and change our kitchen wallpapers this autumn. I told hubby I would like to do it myself, like this we can saved €. Unfortunately he won't agree with me. He said it would be a lot difficult plus I don't know nothing about painting too! Good thing, my friend's brother who got laid-off from his work suggested to do the job at a very reasonable price. He is a handyman and know's everything from putting up kitchen glass tile, carpentry works, plumbings & paintings. It is indeed a great savings for us!
I started blogging for the very first time way back three years ago. I was such a novice back then. I blogged simply just for fun and I'm glad that through this blogging (thing) I've met lots of good friends from different corners of the world. Most of them I even had the chance to see in person, which is great! One good thing of having a blog is that you can also earn extra $ which is perfect for stay-at-home moms. wink*
Right now I have four active blogs running. Three are already in my own domain but this one left is still under blogspot. Now, I've noticed that some of my blogger friends were already using Wordpress that's why, it makes me think of shifting to WordPress flatform too. To tell you the truth I'm not familiar about wordpress yet so, I look for a webhosting plan which is simple, affordable and easy for me to managed. Good thing I came across WPDesigner website. They are featuring a lists of the top ten most up to date webhosting solution on the internet based on credibility, affordability, server-up time, reliability, ease-of-use, control panel and customer support. So for someone like me who are searching for an ideal web hosts this website is surely a big help. Don't hesitate to checked them out too!
I don't like watching television shows in general, but when it comes to health issues I never miss to watch any. Just recently they were talking about those people who were eager to lose weight using different kinds of weight loss programs and solutions. I think everyone should be careful when taking any weight loss pills or other fat burning formulas since not all of these products are safe. The best thing to do is make research and read reviews to be able to find the right diet pill that works.
When it comes to buying shoes, i always go for comfort. I don't mind if it's cheap as long as I feel comfortable wearing it. There's no doubt cheap quality shoes would stay only for a limited time. wink*
But for people who loves collecting expensive ones, the best way to protect your footwear "investment" is to have it lasts for long. You can use disposable shoe covers in many sizes and designs. Material shoe covers such as DuPont Tyvek withstand light splashes and moisture particularly if you are working on slippery smooth floorings or in the medical field.
Today, hubby and I were talking about the different kinds of insurance we have. He is aware of the fact that he's not getting any younger anymore. According to him buying the right life insurance is one great family protection for me and our daughter in case of sudden death. Well, it's not a bad idea after all! Life insurance can also be used to protect businesses through a key man insurance policy or a buy-sell agreement. Not bad huh:)
By the way, just want to share with you a photo of me and Dd taken during our vacation in the Pyrénées-Orientales region. Have a nice weekend to all!
It's been a week since we're here in the Pyrénées Orientales region. Last Sunday we were invited by our family friend who also spent vacation in Argeles Sur-Mer. I was really fascinated to see the long white sandy beaches and picturesque creeks that gives this place it's particular charm. After our tour around the Catalan Harbor of Collioure, Port-Vendres and Saint-Cyprien, we decided to return to Argeles Sur-Mer and off to the beach for an hour or two. We all had lots of fun! Will share some of our photos soon.
Before i forget I wish all of you a fantastic summer holidays. If you are looking for an affordable healthplans Blue Cross North Carolina is the perfect place for you to go. Take a peek at thier website for more additional infos!
I was on the phone with my friend, she and her family just transferred to thier newly built house situated about an hour drive from our place. It's been a long time that we didn't see each other due to the fact that she and husband were pretty much occupied doing the interior painting works of thier house. We talked about anything and everything including on how to get an affordable home insurance. I told her that the best thing to do is to find insurance companies who are offering online qoutes instantly to compare rates and that's what she did.
I was a little bit upset when I know that the house we are renting here in the Pyrenées is not equipped with wi-fi internet connection yet. When I checked thier website it said "connection est un cours" but to my dismay when we arrived yesterday there's no way possible to connect online. The host told me there's a free computer in thier office for me to checked emails but not to the point of watching my fav movies and teleseryes online. They are using machintosh and probably it needs a serious mac memory upgrade. Woaahhh! poor meh, I couldn't watch "Boys over Flowers here!!
Read More......Finally were here in the southwest of France now. I was glad that at long last I've seen once again the sandy white beaches. hehehe* The weather is nice and very different to what we used to have in the Eastern region. Today my family and I are planning of spending whole day at the beach, daughter A would like to try sunbathing. lol* Personally, I don't like it much for my skin is already tanned naturally. wink* I think when french people see me with umbrella they would probably burst into laughter. hehehe* Well anyway, I brought with me the best wrinkle cream protection , so nothing to worry at all!
Read More......Today most French supermarkets are now equipped with barcode scanners. You know why? Well, it's because Honeywell Barcode Scanner makes life more easier for customers and clients to avoid those long queue when paying the items. With Barcode scanners you don't need to wait long hours à la caisse waiting to get served, most particularly during saturdays when supermarkets are jam-packed with shoppers and you were in a hurry. Great isn't it?
I don't know nothing about skateboard but when I see young boys playing skateboard in our neighborhood I admit I'm getting fascinated with them. Of course, it's a pleasure seeing those young ones enjoying themselves in this kind of sports rather than getting into drugs or other sort of vandalism. We are living in the City closed to parks and it's not a surprise to see skaetboard ramps anywhere.
Read More......Finally the grand summer sale is on now! Daughter Alyssa and I went to the city centre today hoping to find some good deals. It's been a long time that I wanted to get a new tv stands but, decided to wait for the grand summer sale to saved €. Unfortunately when we went there today stores were already full-packed with people and shoppers and Ms A. don't have the couraged to stay long inside the store. I will probably go back there again Monday morning.
Dealing with mesothelioma illness is not that easy. Mesothelioma treatments vary depending on the stage of the illness, location of the cancer and overall health of the patients. If you are concerned about it, the best way to know is to undergo Physical examination, CT Scan, MRI's, Blood Test and Biopsy. Malignant mesothelioma is difficult to diagnosed despite of medical advances and there is no 100% effective treatment for malignant mesothelioma illness.
Read More......I think most people out there already heard about this new diet pill called nuphedra. It is composed of unique and effective weight loss ingredients proven to help you burn fats and suppress hunger. I'm not taking any diet pills yet but, if ever I need one nuphedra would be on top of my list. Curious to know about Nuphedra? visit Diet Pill Institute for complete details and feedbacks!
Few days more to go hubby, daughter and I will be off for a three weeks vacation, i'm getting excited here now. For the first time, were going to spend our summer vacation in the Southwest of France together with two of my filipina buddies. We also planned of going to Andorra for sightseeing and little shopping, since this place is known as a shopping hub in Europe. I don't know if we're going to sleep for a night or two in the principality of Andorra. But if ever we decided to stay in the capital of La Vella Stratosphere hotel would be a perfect place for us to stay with.
Read More......digital camcorders are such a great invention. I still remember the day daughter Alyssa was born, Hubby always took videos of her petite cherié capturing every moments of her young and tender age. For me it seems like yesterday. Last thursday our unica hija turned seventeen y.o. and grown up into a fine young lady. Looking back at those times makes me think that JP and I are not getting any younger anymore. lol*
Bonne Fête mon chéri! I just want to say Thank you so much for the love, kindness, patience/understanding and for always being there for me & Alyssa. Nous t'aimons très fort et pour toujours! Plein de gros bisous:)
Sometimes a little re-arrangement could already give a refreshing new look into your home. Putting decors here and there adds a pleasant ambiance to everyone's interieurs. It doesn't matter of how petite your dwelling it may be. All you need is choose the right furniture and home decor that fits perfectly well into it.
Right now while waiting for my laundry to get done, I enjoyed myself browsing one of the furniture catalogs I recieved in the mailbox this year. The catalog are featuring spring & summer collections of different kinds of outdoor furnitures. Oh well, after a long and cold winter days, it's nice to see summer once again. A perfect time for us to spend outdoors picnicking with friends or just enjoying ourselves barbecuing in our own backyard. These past few days, we had a great weather with temperature of up to 30°C, hubby decided to have our outdoor tables and chairs getting repainted again. It stayed outside the whole winter and are getting really dirty. I felt lazy and don't have the courage to cleaned it up, so he went to Castorama, bought some paint and voila it all looks new again!
Ok guys, gotta go.. my laundry is still waiting for me. How I wish to be in the tropics right now sitting comfortably in this lovely sofa on the photo watching the sunset. wink*
They say "Jewelries are women's best friends" and I do agree with them! Handcrafted jewelry is a perfect accessory to a woman's outfit, it adds beauty and suits best for our everyday wear. I know somebody who is very much fascinated with this new mode of fashion accessories like sets of bracelets, necklaces, earrings both in gold, crystal and vermeil. I remember one time when she hosted a get-together party at her home and invited a lady who were selling different variety of fashion jewelries, it was really awesome! Personally I am not into handcrafted jewelries for some reasons but I can't deny the fact that this new mode of fashion accessories became very popular these days and besides the prices are great and affordable too!
By the way, the photo you see here is the latest creation of a resident jeweler Paloma Picasso. You can find it online at Stylehive.com. Picasso created a deceptively simple collection of necklaces called 20 Carats which is available in either sterling silver or 18 karat gold. The delicate looking 18 inch supple chains easily support gemstone pendants weighing 20 carats and available in a wide variety of gems: amethyst, citrine, yellow quartz, rock crystal, onyx, blue chalcedony, and many more. This beautiful gold necklace with sensous pendant could be a perfect present to a loved one!
My dear friends, Moi et mon univers! would like to thanked you all for constantly visiting here and dropping EC's.. very much appreciated. Below are linky love for the top ten droppers of the month. Un grand Merci à vous tous! Bises:)

It's been a while now that hubby and I are planning to replace our bathroom wall lights. Actually we are using mini halogen lamps in all our bathroom lightings. But I've noticed that it consumed lots of energy that caused our monthly electricity bills to increase too. I think it is best to have them replaced with energy saving lamps to saved €. The photo you see here is a Demitri Collection wall scounce, my favorite. I love the sleekness and simplicity but yet elegant cone shaped shade of this bathroom lighting fixtures.
In general, healthy eating habit limits excessive weight gain to both children and adults but unfortunately not for everyone! As far as I'm concerned, I eat whatever foods I loved without the risk of getting fat and I'm so grateful for it. I know some people out there are struggling hard to lose weight and I do understand them. Good thing for now it's a lot easier to find the right products and treatments that works best. You can also take a look at Decaslim reviews it provides infos concerning DecaSlim a new diet supplement that you should know more about.
Read More......Just talked to my mom back home in pinas via voice chat in YM this morning and glad to know that everyone in the family are doing great! Well, except my 83 yo Grandma. Mama told me that grandma is having health problems, probably due to her age. Recently she experienced symptoms of constipation and need colon cleanse to safely remove unidentified toxins of the body, bloating and irritation. I am planning of sending her some colon cleansing treatment soon.
We had a great weather today with temperature of about 23°c hubby and I went strolling in the countryside taking photos and enjoying the beauty of nature. It is also the very first time he and I went hiking for as far as 6 kms. Could you imagine that?
When we arrived home I was so tired & exhausted.. all the calories taken during lunch was all burned out. lol* For me, there's no doubt it is probably the best fat burners I could ever have. wink*
Recently on health news they were talking about people who were eager to lose weight using different kinds of weight loss programs. Now the question is are these products safe to use? Personally, I never tried any yet but I think the best thing to do is make research to be able to find one that works for you. If you are one of those people DietPillValueGuide.com creates a list of the best diet pills available based on cost, safety and effectivity!
Mother's day, in France is celebrated every 7th of June. Hubby and daughter are already asking what I want as presents. Actually I love lingeries but I told them I want nothing. lol* What's important to me is that having them around during La Fête des Mères is already enough. But know what? when I came across LINGERIE SAVINGS and seen this beautiful and sexy discount lingerie, I can't help but admire. These lingeries are absolutely perfect for Mother's day gifts!
Riding horses was one of the things I missed during my childhood. I remember way back in the 80's when my maternal grandparents used to owned a farm in Mindanao and raised cattles including horses. Those were such a great memorable years for me until the whole family decided to moved in Cebu for some reasons.
Raising a horse may not be difficult for everyone provided that you give the right nutrition needed, horse supplements & proper care.
This morning I had a great time talking with my family back home in pinas. Our town is celebrating the annual fiesta today and everybody were there! How I wish I was with them too. They prepared lots of pinoy dishes.. I really miss the local foods. My eyes were even drolling when I've seen the crunchy & yummy lechon on the webcam. If only I could have wings to fly and be with them. lol*
Looking at those yummy foods my family prepared today made me salivate. So, to satisfy my craving I cooked some kind of pinoy (comfort) food.. I'm sure pinays out there knows what I'm talking. hehehe* To get rid of cooking odors, I use scented candle and voila! stink no more:)
Now that my computer is back and running again, I'm also back to my daily routine as well. Believe it or not, I usually spend half of my day sitting infront of my computer notebook watching Pinoy teleseryes & movies. Having equipped with a headset is very important most particularly when daughter Alyssa is around working with her homework. lol*
The photo you see here is a Motorola H500 Pink Bluetooth headset sold at Buy.com. They are offering lots of good deals right now. Go and check them out!
I was watching health news program the other day, and they were talking primarily about the new mode of Green shopping and the benefits of buying and using this eco-friendly products. Many people think that buying green goods are likely expensive and I agree with them, and besides it's not easy to figure out which products are really green. That's why for me and hubby, everytime we buy green goods we always make sure of it's origin.
Gaining weight is easy but losing them is one hard thing to do especially for someone like me who's not a sports enthusiast. Actually I love hiking but these past few days, I've been hooked up infront of my computer watching my favorite TFC Movies & Teleseryes! I know I need to control my eating habit or else I will end up taking diet pill to get rid of this bulging tummy I had, especially that summer vacation is getting closer. wink*
Finally the long wait is over! my notebook is back and running again.. what a relief! lol* Three weeks w/out my toy seems like eternity. Thanks to hubby for re-installing all the softwares and everything in it. I was just a bit sad though because the computer technician didn't got the chance to saved all my files & documents on the system.. c'est vraiment dommage! Anyway, what's important to me now is that i'm back online and be able to watched my favorite TFC-Teleseryes once again. wink*
Have a nice weekend to all!

Lily-of-the-Valley is one of my favorite flowers due to thier sweet smell and fragrance. In France Muguets or (Lily-of-the-valley) is traditionally associated with May 1st and is handed out at special events while others offered it to thier loved ones, as a sign of "porte-bonheur" (goodluck) and happiness!
Trés Bon Week-end à tous:)
Sorry I've been quite for a couple of days.. blame it on the computer virus I got on the net that caused my Wi-Fi Laptop computer to crash. Aside from that we've been away on a spring vacation in Eastern France and came back only last night.
Voila! again my apologize for not visiting your blogs lately. I promise to return your visits once my computer will get back to service. Right now, I'm using hubby's computer in writing paid posts and answering emails as well as surfing for the best acne treatments for Dd too. Hopefully I could find one that's truly effective!
Hello guys! I apologize for not being able to return your visits as often as I would loved to. I have problems with my computer for a couple of days now and it's still under repair. The technician said it would take approximately three weeks before I could get my computer back. Could you imagine that? Three weeks without my toy.. what a pity! As of now I've no choice except to use hubby's iMac from time to time when writing paid posts but sad to say that I can't stay long. Have a wonderful weekend to all of you & Thank you for stopping by!
Every summer we used to spent our two months vacation in the tropical islands the Philippines to visit my homeland and of course to see my family as well. But this year it's quite different, hubby and I decided to stay in France for some reasons. First and foremost is because there are works that needs to be done here in priority. We are soon going to have some home renovation and financially would costs us a lot of money. So, I think it is more wiser for the three of us to spent our summer vacation in the Southwestern France rather than travelling at thousand miles away. At least like this, we can saved bucks too. wink*
These past few days we're really busy, we visited a couple of Hardware stores trying to find the materials needed but, as usual nothing suits our needs. For me it's only a waste of time and energy. Now I better try shopping for materials online. What do you think? I've seen that Better Bathrooms launched a new range of value bathrooms packages, available with thier most popular ceramic toilet and basin sets plus a wide choice of bath styles. And hey, not only that! they are also featuring a wide selection of bathroom tiles, furnitures, mirrors, radiators and other accessories at great affordable rates!
Sometimes people changed thier looks to feel attractive and gain more confident with themselves while others do it for health reasons. Few months back my friend undergo dental implantation, she told me of how scared she was during the procedure and I admire her for being such a courageous lady. Thanks to her Cosmetic Dentist who perform the surgery very successfully. It reminds me of Dr. David Whilhite a Frisco Dentist specializes in Cosmetic and General Dentistry.
Read More......I had a long conversation with my sister back home in the Philippines. Her eldest daughter Rhea (my neice) graduated in High School 1st week of this month. Actually, Rhea passed the scholarship exam in college which is a good news for us. She will be able to take up Nursing course at no expense at all, just sad to say that her choice is not on this field. She likes to study Hotel & Restaurant Management (HRM) Course more than anything else! Although I know it would be easier for her to come here in Europe and get healthcare jobs but still, we let her decide and go on with her choice.
To all my friends, visitors & readers.. wishing you an Easter filled with love, peace & the joys of springtime:)

Well, since it's a long overdue tag.. anybody who wants to answer this.. can grab it here!
At this time of economic recession keeping your budget in line isn’t measured by the amount you spend, but by how much you save. Here's a list of 7 money wasters that you should be aware of: Courtesy of (Yahoo Finance)
Cut back on these seven items could help you save roughly $1,000 a year.
1) Bottled Water
Getting your recommended eight glasses of water a day by bottle instead of tap is a huge waste of cash. That buck-a-bottle water you down on a regular basis can really add up.
Potential Savings: Spend $37 to buy a 40-ounce Brita pitcher and filter ($13 at Bed, Bath and Beyond), plus a four-pack of replacement filters ($24), and you'll be able to filter 200 gallons of water. Buy that much water in 24-packs of 16.9-ounce Aquafina bottles at Shop Rite instead, and you’d spend $283.50. Your total savings: $246.50.
2) Extended Warranties
Think twice before you shell out $10 a month for a two-year protection plan on your pricey new BlackBerry. New products tend to malfunction within the manufacturer’s initial warranty period, or well after any extended warranty has expired, says Michael Gartenberg, vice president of strategy and analysis for Interpret LLC, a market researcher. (Most extended warranties exclude accidental damage, too, so you’d still be out of luck if you drop that Blackberry and crack the screen.) To protect yourself, pay with the right credit card. Many credit cards -- including most American Express and MasterCard cards -- double the manufacturer’s warranty on purchases, adding up to another year of free protection.

If there's one thing daughter A would like to have in her closet is no other than tuxedo jackets. Lol* I don't know why for some reason but she's very much fascinated with tuxedos and ties. Yeah, sounds funny but it's true! Ever since she was a child, she's never been interested with Barbies and girly stuffs but more on collecting miniatured cars, airplanes, pokemon stickers, manggas, vedio games and all. En vrai garçon manqué quoi. hehehe*

She was the youngest and most beautiful daughter of Francis Stephen I and Maria Theresa, Emperor and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire. Marie Antoinette was brought up believing her destiny was to become queen of France. She married the crown prince of France in 1770.

1) France:
A stellar health care system and clean air landed France on the list. Working against it: the worst wastewater treatment standards of the top 15. Its tuberculosis rate--11 cases per 100,000 people, one of the highest on the list--also held it back. But there's good news for the country's chronically ill; France's high physician density measurement: 3.37 per 1,000 people.
2) Spain:
The country's tuberculosis rate is the highest of all 15 countries, at 21.7 for every 100,000 people. Spain also has one of the highest air pollution estimates on the list. Its physician density, healthy life expectancy and infant mortality rate are average when compared with other countries on the list.
3) The Czech Republic:
Has one of the list’s lowest healthy life expectancies--66 for men and 71 for women. The country’s less than stellar sanitation coverage and its TB prevalence rate, 10.8 per 100,000 people, prevented a higher ranking. Working in its favor? One of the world’s lowest infant mortality rates. In 1990, the number of deaths per 1,000 live births stood at 13. It's now 3.

Nine months ago I wrote three articles from Blogvertise, it was all posted, submitted and accepted by the admin. Unfortunately 30 days later I didn't recieved any payment from them. I asked some friends if they have been paid for the same articles they have written for the company and said yes! So, I contacted Bloggerwave to have some explaination but despite of a dozen emails I've sent I never recieved any single response from them. Come mid-january I decided to email Bloggerwave back for the same purpose (claimed the $30) they owed me for such a long long time but still no replies.
Then two days ago, when I checked my paypal email account I was surprised to see a notification email from Paypal letting me know that Bloggerwave has just sent $30 to my account. Quelle bonne surprise! lol* After 9 mos. of waiting.. it's over now. wink*

I loved having scented candles at home.. I used them more often to get rid of cooking smell in the kitchen most particularly when I cooked fish. lol* Hubby don't liked the idea that much, for him it's all artificial scents and no good for our health.
Now I avoid using them and instead adopted the idea of baking cookies to eliminate the odor.. am I crazy? Of course not! wink* But when I've seen this Votive candle holders I can't help but feel in love with it:)
