Whenever there are special occasions such as anniversaries or birthdays, some people would choose to go to their favorite restaurant to have a simple and intimate dinner. Those who may be too busy with work and would want to just have a simple dinner instead of an extravagant party may just book for a reservation at their restaurant. Some would even use it as an opportunity to try out the newly opened restaurant that has been getting good reviews. But if you’re looking for an alternative to dining at a restaurant, you can instead choose to just have a special dinner at home. Your preparations journey should not be that elaborate especially if you are only planning to invite a few close friends for dinner. Prepare a menu that you know your guests would love. You can also serve them a dish that they haven’t tried before but you know they will surely love. You can also serve wine. A carefully chosen wine can enhance the flavor of the dishes that you will be serving. If you are unfamiliar with how to choose the best wine for your dishes, you can make some research online or you can participate in a Sonoma Wine Tasting activity, to which it has a bunch of wine to choose from. You will get to determine which wine would complement the dishes that you will be serving. Great food, great friends and family paired with great wine will surely make your dinner even more special. 

For most people, summer is synonymous to going to the beach. Swimming all day and playing on the sand with friends and family can really make a summer journey more enjoyable for everyone. Even before summer starts, people are already planning for their upcoming summer getaway; beach resorts are already receiving advance bookings and airlines are already offering their summer rates for travelers.

A summer vacation can be more enjoyable if all the summer essentials are present. This includes sun block lotions, the right eye-wear and hats to protect them from the sun and of course, the right swimwear. Wearing a swim wear that has a suitable design can add to a person’s confidence and can make him move more comfortably. Colorful beachwear for summer can be found in different clothing stores. They have summer wear for every age group. A colorful swim wear can help create a more relaxed and happy mood not just for the person wearing it but also to those who see it. Sweet caps for kids in various designs and colors can make the younger members of your family look fashionable as they play around the beach. With all the essentials and fashionable and colorful beach wears, everyone will surely have a memorable and fun summer getaway.

Are you still active in dropping EC? Last year I am addicted to that. I can say I do it regularly. In my three(3) blogs, they are all active and enrolled at entrecard. My day is not compete without any drops. I used to have 50 or more drops in each on my blogs every day . Sounds so perfect and it helps a lot on my blog traffic. I can see that dropping EC might not be super solid traffic respond but it really helps.

I am just sad sometimes bloggers don't respond my drops. LOL! That is normal I guess. I don't respond sometimes too, specially if I am getting busy over the day! So this is just a vice-versa. Still thankful for those who drop back with me. So I am planning to get back dropping next month if possible but will see.

Anyway, I wish you guys a happy evening and enjoy your day with your love ones. I will go out and buy some milk and eggs. I will make some dessert. Yummy! By the way, I would like to thank to one of my dear blogger friend who always share some tips in blogging and more tips of being a mom. So thank to you my dear. You are an angel, you know who you are!

Okey, since the internet connection is low and I have lots of tags to do as well- I will have to do this today. Actually I was tagged from the two of new-found friend here in blogosphere world which I call them Ate Sudha of Sudhersana and Ate Vhing of Survivor: Reality of My Life. They're thoughtful, kind, and nice one that they passed this along to me and I like the thought of it. Read it the following guys and you will be amazed of this type of woman or she is a Queen. Her character amazes me that Te Sudha and Te Vhing saw that on me that's why they passed this to me? I hope so.. heheh. Now, here's the thought or A Mary ANTOINETTE AWARD:
Queen Marie Antoinette was born on November 2, 1755 in Vienna, Austria. 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. Four years later she became queen when her husband was crowned King Louis XVI (House of Bourbon ).
The short story is cute and inspiring, right?

I plan not yet to post this one for I have something to do first but I plan to do this today but suddenly I hit the publish post without the content. Uh uh. So I decided to post this first then. I got this tag from my forever friend Rechie of Chuchie's Hideaway (if you like to see my name in her tag or you may like to see her entertaining bag- you can click her highlighted name in my post). So then, now the rules of this tag is as follows:


You know guys my husband said why am I taking pic of my bag and I took all the stuffs in there and took also a pic. It sounds funny something that I just said I just want to have remembrance. Heheheh. Anyway, am just following the rules and as the original tagger said that this is just for entertainment purposes only and no more no less! So back on the track, well, I love collecting bags or some called this purse, am some kind of hesitant if this is really a purse since a purse is a wallet, so okey this is a bag. heheh. This is my favorite nowadays for you know that I goes to school again and I have my folder and stuffs to put so I need a big one that can accommodate for what I need. I also like this for it is light to carry. The cost of this is just 30 bucks on sale- it's not expensive though but am picky when it comes to stuffs for me.. heheh.. I So here's the pics:

And now, it's time for me to pass this tag to the peeps on my blog rolls and the bloggers who had not yet been tagged who saw this post of mine. C'mon guys grab this now and show your recent bag! Have a nice day...

(continuation posted o3/03/09): Okey fellas, since I haven't yet posted the stuffs inside my bag and it is due to the request of my fellow bloggers and some though by the time I took a pic of this bag it's together with the other pic which is the stuffs in it, so here it is:
These are the stuffs inside my bag everyday as I goes to school for this season. On summer- it will be different. Check it out. heheh. My digicam is not there for I seldom bring it in school- I only bring it when I plan to go somewhere and for special occassions but not always in school. And also I haven't included my mobile phone in there though I always bring that whenever i go out the house, even if I will just get the mail in the mailbox or throw the garbage or even in the basement to wash clothes- it's always with me not to mention in the bathroom when taking a bath, hehehe.. but that's true. Well then, I completed the rules now huh? Thank you bloggers and everyone.. (~_~)

I got fascinated with the clouds ever since I was young, I view it as something in the sky that has different face or appearance. Sometimes it's scattered as like opposite of a person face when crying. Wonder why? It's because when it is scattered that means that it's a good sunny day. It seems like they are afraid of the sun that they have to clear the way 'coz the sun is present. And that's my observation as the day went along as my journey of watching the clouds appearance. Well, how do you guys like watching the clouds? Anyway, I had a very nice bus ride today (to familiarize the bus area and the place, etc.) and the weather is great. I had a few pics together with the Chinese woman who was my seatmate, and one of the bus I rode onto. And so, it is all available upon request (as well as other photos on my other posts).
