My Alma Mater

My Alma Mater, Angeles University Foundation (AUF), is a famous university here in Pampanga and it actually specializes in medical course. Beside it is the Angeles University Foundation Medical Center. Our school location has now become highly commercialized. You will see major fastfoods, drugstores and specialty stores that sells medical uniforms and scrubs, within the vicinity.

There are international students enrolled in AUF taking up medical courses such as Physical Therapy, Medical Technology and the likes. It's easy to identify them through their uniforms like the nursing students wearing medical nursing scrubs. And speaking of uniform, if I am a nursing student paying expensive tuition fee, instead of buying medical nursing scrubs within the university which is certainly more expensive, I'll resort to searching online on where to buy medical scrubs that offers big discounts.

In this time where prices of commodities including uniforms are skyrocketing, you need to be resourceful to be able to purchase the cheapest product made with quality.

Belated Christmas present

I bought myself a Tommy Hilfiger bag and wallet. A friend of my officemate arrived 3 weeks ago from her US tour and brought home 4 to 5 boxes of US stuff to sell and I took the Tommyhilfiger bag & wallet. I have to say thank you and goodbye to the Ralph Lauren bag I've been using for a year now. The Tommyhilfiger bag and wallet serve as my christmas gift for myself. Better late than never, right?

MarQuee Mall

I went to Marquee Mall yesterday, the newest mall in Angeles City, this belongs to the Ayalas. I was alone and I was curious if the architectural design and the stores are similar to the one in Ayala Cebu. I was glad with what I saw and I was happier to see StarMagic talents in the activity area led by Tayong Dalawa lead stars Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu and Jake Cuenca. I have watch Kapuso stars in Robinsons in Balibago Angeles City before and I can say that StarMagic talents are far better than Kapuso stars in terms hosting, entertaining people & talent. I was amazed to see the production numbers that they prepared for the fans, the same prod numbers they do in ASAP show. The number of hours you have to wait standing is all worth it.

Avail of Discount Dancewear

One of the local celebrities I admire is Regine Tolentino. Aside from being a wife and a mom to 2 kids, she’s also a host, dancer and choreographer and a business woman. In fact she is the one designing and providing dance costumes to all celebrity participants in Lucy Torres long running program “Shall We Dance” from ABC channel 5. She revealed in one of her interviews that she developed her skill in clothes designing through her fondness of Barbie doll collections which we all know have elegant dresses. On the same note, Capezio, one of the world’s largest dance wear supplier, is giving away Discount Dancewear. So if a dance studio where your son or daughter is currently enrolled, you can suggest to get dance wear from Capezio at affordable and discounted prices.

Furniture Finds

When hubby and I got married, the very first item we bought was a bed which up to now is something that we use. Hubby told me to replace it since we’ve been using it for over 10 years and naughtily said that CJ & Acey were made on that bed. But it’s not easy for me to let go of that bed, like any typical Filipina wife, that bed has a sentimental value. On the second thought, especially now that we’re living in our new house, I realized it’s about time we change bed. Hubby and I agreed on buying a bed made of log or wood, like those we see on magazine, furniture house and internet such as http://www.scenicfurniture.com. Scenic Furnitures offers log furniture such as bed with different designs, you can be assured beds made of log from scenic furniture is sturdy and can last a lifetime.

Favorite Scent

My sister gave me Clinic Happy perfume in Christmas 2007. She asked me what Christmas gift I want and I told her Clinic Happy or GAP Blue perfume. The latter was not available at the time she was in the mall to shop. I love the fresh and distinct smell of Clinic Happy.

On the same note, I've given my hubby a Lacoste perfume last Christmas that I bought from an officemate, however, when hubby opened the said perfume he knew right away it was fake and when he sprayed it on his wrist, it was confirmed that it was fake. Lesson learned, when you buy products 50% cheaper than it's original prize, chances are, you are buying something that's imitated and a copy cat!

My Clinic Happy perfume is almost empty and I am eyeing for a Dolce & Gabbana, my hubby is aware of that already.

Christmas Dress

We only have 45 days left before Christmas and as early as now I already have in mind what we will have for noche buena which I will blog in the coming days. My mind right now is occupied on what Acey will be wearing on Christmas. The previous year, I bought her a ready made black and white polka dot dress. Hubby wanted to see our little girl wearing dress on special occasions, however, it is quiet expensive to buy ready made dress in the department store, so my idea right now is to buy fabric and look for an excellent dressmaker (any volunteer?). I've search in the internet to have further idea on what Acey's holiday dress will look like and here are my findings:

Acey-Christmas 2007

Christmas Wishlist

Christmas is fast approaching and I noticed that some bloggers have blogged about their Christmas wishlists so I decided to make my own. The following are actually Christmas gifts I plan to buy for my family and myself as well. I really hope that opps will start pouring in so I'll be able to purchase these Christmas gifts, wrap 'em nicely and display them under our cutie Christmas Tree.

an RL bag i plan to give myself which i know i deserve

not sure if Crocs are "in" or available in Qatar and since hubby is planning to come home to celebrate Christmas with us, Crocs is what I wanna give him.

slowly, Acey is showing her interest in music and i'm sure this piano will make her christmas a memorable one

CJ is hooked playing his PS2, a bean bag will make him more comfortable and make his play even more enjoyable.

So there...what about you guys, have you thought of your christmas wishlists? Santa is waiting...hehehe.

Stylish yet Affordable

In our company, everytime you celebrate your employment anniversary, you’ll undergo annual physical examination which I did last May. This includes x-rays, blood & laboratory tests such as stool and urinalysis. The last step of the said physical exam is the eye exam.
According to the Medicard opthalmologists, I do not have a perfect vision which I already expected. The only problem is my left eye which has lower vision compare to my right eye and this explains the reason why I wasn’t able to read some of the letters correctly in the eye exam board.
She ask me if I wanted to wear eyeglass to improve my vision but I said no. First, I am not comfortable wearing eye or reading glasses and another reason is I find those glasses brought by the ophthalmologist too expensive & old fashioned. Unlike the Zenni Optical $8 Rx Eyeglasses, they are not just affordable, they are stylish too. In fact Zenni Optical was on Fox News! They are unbelievably cheap because they sell only their own manufactured frames direct to the customer, with no middlemen and virtually no advertising budget.

Below are samples of Incredible Stylish Frames from Zenni:

Stylish Eyeglasses from Zenni Optical

I don’t know any elderly person not wearing eyeglasses and I know a lot of kids as young as 5 years old wear eyeglasses due to poor vision, looking old and matured. If time will come that I have to wear eyeglasses, I definitely wanted to wear something stylish that will look good on me. Eyeglasses with colored frames are perfect and I saw plenty of designs in Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses.

For as low as $8.00, you can buy fashionable and unbelievably affordable eyeglasses in Zenni Optical and take note they’re absolutely made with good quality. The reason for this great deal is because Zenni Optical manufacture their frames and sells them directly to their customers. They don’t hire middlemen or anyone to do the advertising for them. As we all know, advertising cost enormous money for a company.

My parents sometimes would ask for a replacement of their eyeglasses as birthday gift. Now I have an idea what to give them, I’ll simply log on to http://www.ZenniOptical.com and ask them to choose the eyeglass they think would best suit their tastes.

Zenni Optical is definitely one of my Best Thing Found in the internet.
