Going on our trip we wanted to be prepared for all the activities we had planned. With this is mind we debated whether we needed a portable stroller for Manu since we might end up carrying him all over Hongkong in case he doesn’t want to walk anymore. Since my husband and I both agreed that we’d need a stroller I didn’t have enough time to go shopping for one so I ended up browsing online. Luckily, shopping is made easy with shopping (search) engines! No need to do any last minute window shopping – just do it on-line.
We’ll we’re on our way to Hongkong and by this time my husband is already looking forward to going to the Swiss Army store nearest to our hotel. He’s such a sucker for Swiss Army stuff that he’s already built up a collection of items such as pocket knives, bags, watches and wallets. I guess I’ll know where to look for him when he goes missing in the next couple of days!
I can’t believe the number of dietary supplements out there, especially after I went only to find out what “Phentermine” meant. I’m so used to seeing no more than 5 names for a particular medication that a list of top 200 is really beyond me. With so much to choose from, how can one decide what to take? Through a doctor or the in-thing nowadays – through consumer watch surveys. I’d personally still seek professional advise though how can you really argue if there’s a big number of users saying otherwise. We’ve definitely turned into pill-poppers, the numbers says so!
We’re considering getting a laptop to replace our year-old desktop but we’ve been debating on a couple of major items regarding the obvious difference of these machines. My husband favors the desktop because it’s upgradable and customizable. I like the laptop because it’s portable and doesn’t clutter our workspace – though I abhor the small laptop memory and its limited upgrade. All are valid points though not really apples to apples to compare. Still, we’ll have to debate it out to see whether we finally get a sleek laptop or a powerful desktop in the coming months.
Meet New Friends Without Leaving Your Seat
Posted on 2008 under friends, online finds | No Comment14 May
Growing your list of friends is different now compared to how it was 10 years ago. With the advent of internet and numerous websites, I find that people are extending their “circles” without leaving their house or even their computer seat. Now, my younger sisters have their own site where they monitor what’s happening with their friends (complete with pictures and updates) – before it was picking up the phone and calling up to get new info. I find myself getting drawn into this type of lifestyle since this tool is quite the enabler – in fact, its more real time than previous methods of information sharing. Now I find myself wondering, “what will they think of next?”
That’s where we’re staying during our travel to Hongkong. I’ve stayed in this hotel two years ago and for me, it was just okay. The superior room was spacious though I find the layout a bit outdated. The bathroom was memorable since it was the tiniest that I’ve ever seen, and also a little old-fashioned 
. The location was superb though - as far as shopping is concerned . It’s just right beside the mega-shopping centers, Ocean Terminal and Harbour City. In front are high-end designer shops like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, and Prada, among others.
I can be a bit fussy on the hotels I stay in. So before booking my accommodation, I do my assignment and research on several hotels. Here are some sites I’ve recently bumped into which, I think, are worthwhile considerations (you may notice that these are European Hotels. Could this mean I’m already planning on a tour to one of these cities? In the far future, yes ) : Milan Hotels, Barcelona Hotels, Madrid Hotels, Hotels in Venice.
I was already convinced that I could go out of the house donning a short dress. But boy, I was wrong. I was trying out some dresses that I just bought recently as I was planning on wearing them during our upcoming trip. The dresses looked good alright but they I didn’t look good in them. Well, if you’d look from head to just below the knees, everything would look fine, but beyond that - forget it! My legs look huge! 
(husband nodding his head right now). So unless I lose at lease 10 more pounds, short dresses are banned in my closet (unless of course I put opaque tights or leggings underneath). So now, I’ll just mope and maybe read a book (The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch seems like a good read) before I finally get over the shocking sad truth. 
Of late the term resort has been loosely used, especially among local development here in the
I can never understand why some people would put rear spoilers in their cars when all they will be doing is some city driving. I’d understand it if it came with the car – variant standard. But a lot are just after-market add-ons with very little use in every day driving. My husband used to want a spoiler for his car but never got around to installing one – which is good since he won’t be racing any of our cars in the city anyway 
Who’s Your Hollywood Mom Match?
My Result: Reese Witherspoon
Being a parent has never looked so classy! Understated and always tasteful, someone as timelessly chic as you isn’t easy to come by. So it makes sense that your Hollywood mom match would be the super-sweet and ever-elegant Reese Witherspoon. Sure, you still deal with spit up and changing diapers: The difference is that you manage to look good even when handling the basics of momhood. And beyond your poise and appearances you still shine with the knowledge that no matter what, family comes first and if you don’t have family you don’t have much.
Somehow, with a million things to juggle, you always make it look effortless. So even if you’re not from Hollywood, you can sure play the part. Now that’s a class act!
What are you?
