Philippines Is Still The Texting Capital Of The World

I have mixed feelings about this title. But I'd like to dwell on the positive side so let me point out here that SMS chain letters had a great influence in ousting Philippine President Joseph Estrada in 2001 according to reports. The Philippines has a record of 50 million cellphone users and I was wondering how many of them are using Nokia unlocked phones. If the Philippines wants to be at par with our greatest competitor that is China (when it comes to texting) they better switch now to an unlocked phone from Nokia.

A Family Movie Fan

I'm a fan of movies that tackle family relationships like All Roads Lead Home The Movie. I despise movies that present sex, violence and gore as themes. Unfortunately these kind of movies sell which is very disappointing. I have noticed that some movies have warnings that there can be mild violence involved but the way I see it you can't qualify violence. This is the reason why I always make sure that my dear son only watches movies that are family-oriented and does not contain any media violence which are blatantly promoted in most movies nowadays.

“A heart warming story for the entire family” like All Roads Lead Home The Movie is hard to come by nowadays. Just read below what these two media people had to say about this movie:
“A family movie with a powerful cast and a compelling message”. - Michelle Gentile, HomeTown News
“Leaves you feeling optimistic after an emotional journey.” - Madelyn Ritrosky, Entertainment Magazine

I can’t wait for the DVD release of All Roads Lead Home The Movie which is on January 13th. The plot of this story is simple yet powerful enough to make us all strive to become better individuals. Don’t forget to get your own copy of this great movie.

Winter Fun

Hiltonsocial-ad-300x400I worked at a Hilton brand as a front desk agent for over two years and it was one of the most exciting jobs I ever had. The Hilton staff and management stands by its motto - be hospitable. Aside from the hospitability that is expected of any Hilton hotel comfort is another aspect that Hilton hotels always strive to provide their valued guests.

One thing that I love about Hilton hotels is they are always conveniently located which is one of the major considerations of tourists and visitors alike. My family has never been yet to Missouri and should the time will come for us to visit Missouri we’ll definitely stay at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. It is located at the heart of Historic Downtown Branson and actually just right across from the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel.

Branson has exciting winter events like the Third Annual Ice Carving, 2009 Polar Plunge and the 2nd Anniversary of the Hilton Promenade. Both the Hilton Promenade and the Hilton Branson Convention Center offer a Winter Escape Package. All you have to do is choose where to stay between the two hotels. Your day will always be filled when you visit Branson. There are so many things to do in Branson and your day will always be filled with fun and activities

The Best Gift

A friend at work is expecting her first baby in February. Like any first-time mother she’s very excited. I’m happy for her since it’s been her wish to have a child. The moment she knew she was carrying her first baby she started shopping for baby stuff right away such as clothes, shoes and many more.

It is also normal for parents to worry about what happens if their babies get sick or acquire childhood diseases. My friend has heard about Cryo-Cell even before she got pregnant and she believes that parents should consider preserving their newborn's umbilical cord blood for potential use against many diseases.

My friend and her husband has decided that they will avail of the Cryo-Cell promo that will save them $725. This is really a big savings on their part since they still have to get some stuff for the baby’s nursery. If you’re reading this post and you happen to know someone who is expecting please let them know of this unbelievable discount which will expire tonight at midnight, December 24th. They will receive special UCORD pricing of $995 for processing, testing and first year of storage plus the cancellation fee is waived. Cryo-Cell can be reached at 1-800-786-7235 and medical professionals are always ready to assist you.

Viva Las Vegas


Las Vegas Nevada was one of our choice destinations last summer. We ended up going to Connecticut and stayed there for a week. We had fun in Connecticut but I was really hoping that our budget could accommodate the three of us for Las Vegas but since our budget wasn't enough we opted for a closer place where we could just drive.

DH has been to Las Vegas a few times in the past and he hopes he can bring us there next summer. We'll definitely watch a David Copperfield show. We all enjoy watching magic and illusions and I'm sure we'll have a grand time not to mention that we want to stay at the MGM Grand. I actually found a good deal at i4vegas.com and I'll definitely book our stay with them.

A Genuine Person

My husband and I met with our son's teacher this morning for our scheduled parent-teacher conference. It was from 8:15-8:30. We're both looking forward to it because we're so eager to know how our son is performing in school. We already have a copy of his report card but it's really different when you get to hear from the teacher in person.

As expected he is doing excellent in some areas but there are a few things that he needs to work on (like how to stop being a chatterbox, LOL). Overall, I'm happy and pleased with how my son is doing in school.

But of all the nice things that I heard from my son's teacher what really touched me most was when she said that my son has "a genuine heart". He's the first one to share his snacks whenever a classmate forgets to bring one and he's always ready to help. I wasn't surprised at all when Mrs. F (the teacher) told me about it because I know how giving my son is. He's very selfless and as a matter of fact he's keeping all his toys and old, gently used clothes so he can bring them to the Philippines and give them out to kids.

That's it for now my friends. I have to go online and search for coilovers.
