Hey Mr. Postman!

I am still waiting for a very important letter from a friend and she actually sent it to my residential address. I forgot to tell her that we don't have anybody at home to receive my registered mail so I’m thinking how will the postman leave my letter when there’s nobody to answer the door? My dad should really buy a really nice mailbox that will look nice in front of our gates plus something that will be durable and can withstand any weather.

I actually found mailboxixchange.com and saw pretty Mailboxes and we can choose from their wide array of Residential Mailboxes that we can use at home because they have over 2,500 decorative, quality mailboxes.

I saw this mailbox and I think this will look really nice for our home. It's sturdy, in pure metal and will have our home number plus we can put our surname on top of the box. What's really nice is that it's 100% resistant to rust! Cool!

The Car Connection

Ever consider buying a car but don't know where to start? You wanted to buy a car buy just have no clue what suits your lifestyle? Do you know the reviews of the latest car models around? Why not visit TheCarConnection.com and get the latest reviews for Hyundai Genesis , Ford Taurus, Nissan Rogue, Lexus IS and more. Not only you will see latest reviews but you can also view some classifieds, insurances, finances that you need in getting your car. Plus of course there are much needed tips for new car owners. There's even a photo gallery where you can view cars and choosing will be much easier. What I love about the site is their car ratings. You will see and compare their rates for each car which I think is a brilliant idea and is very helpful. Who said finding a car is hard, if you have the right tools plus a very reliable source to back you up then you will soon get the car of your dreams in no time.

I read their review for Hyundai Genesis 2009 and it has review that covers just about everything from the exterior, the engine to the dashboard and the interior. The Hyundai is even compared to the luxurious Lexus car. And I am pretty amazed of the review and the rating goes to 8 out of 10, which is a great review. They even said that the Hyundai Genesis could be mistaken as a very luxurious car in the road. If we only have enough money, I will definitely buy this car, I guess reading the review got me convinced.

SM Mall of Asia

One of the largest malls in Asia opened last 2006 which was supposed to be opening on 2005. Operated by SM Prime Holding, owned by the famous business tycoon, Henry Sy.

Located at the west side of Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City just right at the south end of EDSA. With the bronze globe displayed in front of the mall, you will not miss the place. The mall has four buildings connected by walkways. I myself think that the best features in this mall are the IMax Theater with a screen comparable to the height of an 8-storey building where you can watch 3D movies, their Olympic size Skating Rink and the 20-seater tram that goes around the mall which can cater tired shoppers and the senior citizens.

Considered as a tourist spot in Metro Manila, tourists who visit Metro Manila has MOA written on their itenerary. If you want to shop with comfort plus with much store choices then go and visit SM Mall of Asia.

ADT Home Security System

I was talking to my Aunt the other day and she was asking me if I know about the Best Home Security Surveillance System in the US, what lead us to this topic is already a bit blurry to me but I think she is actually considering of subscribing and installing one at home. A nearby house was robed last month and almost all their stuff was gone and it would not have been the case if they only have Home Security.

She asked me to help her look online and I found the best out of so many Home Security Systems online, the ADT Home Security System. They've been in the business for over 130 years and through the years their systems became more innovative and high technology plus with their 24/7 customer monitoring, you will always feel secure even if you go for some out of town trips. With their cheap packages, you will never go wrong.

Great find online huh? I bet my Aunt will be very happy that I found out about this company. Now she can feel safe and worry free when they go to Florida next month.

Michael Jackson dies at 50 | Cardiac Arrest, Sudden Death

Goodbye Michael Jackson. August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009. He is now out of our lives but the King of Pop will forever be the King of Pop. He was found lifeless in his LA home and was rushed to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. The cause of his death is still unknown until the autopsy findings come out.

I grew up listening to his songs, though I'm not a big fan, I have a few favorite MJ songs, one of which is Man in the Mirror. Ruled the music industry for 4 decades, he is and will always be an icon in the industry.

Millions of fans all over the world are now grieving of the loss. It's all over the news and his July concert in Europe, what he called "His final curtain call", will never push through now that he's gone.

Our Rings' Future Nest

I really want to order something unique where we can put our wedding bands and my engagement ring at home. And what better way to take care of them by putting them in a nice home like this...

I'm thinking of buying this one for our rings. For one, they are fairly reasonable for $22.

They also have nice items like these...
Nice wooden table napkin rings with custom text that you desire, which I think is a very nice idea.

As seen in Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, I love the gold detail on the side.

My TV Options

My uncle had Direct TV in California and he recently moved to Illinois and was actually clueless of what to get in their new place. He loves watching TV and he enjoyed their Direct TV back home. I was chatting with him and recommended myTVoptions site because I've been reading nice reviews from the customers that actually relied for help. His problem can be solved with just a few clicks away and what's exciting is that he instantly gets the answer whether he is more likely to choose Directtv, Dish Network or Cable.

Instead of spending hundreds of cash and choosing the wrong service for you, why not rely on something more in the know how around this thing? Whether a high definition television or the DVR service is more important to you or you're a regular with the Local channels or you only care with the International channels, whichever is essential will always have the right TV provider for you just click in myTVoptions and you will never go wrong!

Eiffel Tower, Paris

This is on my list, list of places I still want to go to and see someday. It's been on my list as far as I can remember. I would love to go to Paris and I know when I get there, this is the first thing I will look for.

The Eiffel Tower is an iron tower located at the Champ de Mars beside Seine River in Paris. It has been the global icon of France and is very much recognizable all over the world. It was named after it's engineer designer, Gustave Eiffel. It is the tallest structure in Paris.

And it just turned 120 last May 15, 2009. Visit their site for more information. Quoting from their site:

On May 15, 1889, the Eiffel Tower opened its door to the public, a few days after the inauguration of the Universal Exposition, and was the uncontested attraction of the event. 120 years later in 2009, the Mayor of Paris and the operating company, Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, have organized a series of events to celebrate the Tower’s anniversary.

I sure hope that we can come and visit Paris someday. It will definitely be a treat. Striking another item on the list will be a blast. Then I can go on and dream over Egypt and Italy. :)

Learning Network

When I was in school, I always wish there's somebody out there who can study with me even if I'm at home. Discussions with a classmate friend over the phone could be tiring and besides my parents didn't allow using the phone for a long period of time.

If only we have Course Hero Learning Network during my college days, then learning will be more fun and easy. CHEM Lab will not be a hideous task if you will have a partner to share related theories, CHEM Lecture Note, techniques and other various materials for learning. I think this site is very much helpful since you get other ideas and more education from other sources rather than just being confined in your college where you and your classmate share the same stuff. There are so many social networks coming out for just the mere fact of meeting new people, sometimes just talking about anything under the sun, why not join a learning network where you can get higher grades and gain more wealth in your education. Join Course Hero today!

WW: Hungry

Tokyo Cafe

Located at the Ground Level of Mall of Asia, my family and I always pass by this place when we go at SM MOA but never tried dining in this place until I met up with friends. I will surely recommend that my boys try their food next time we visit. With so much food on the menu, it's overwhelming, it took us a bit longer to choose what to order and I was a bit surprised that a Japanese restaurant does not have any sushi, read more to know why. And so I opted for another favorite of mine, pasta and ordered Bacon Tomato Cream.

Thin spaghetti sauteed in a medley of tomato chunks and mushrooms tossed in a creamy cheese tomato sauce topped with crisp bacon bits. Priced at 215 Php.

And washed my food with their tasty Iced Peach Tea, priced at 68 Php.

I read something about Tokyo Cafe at Click The City interviewing the man behind the nice restaurant... the article says:

Tokyo Cafe is Japanese but not - that sounds a bit odd, but let me explain why. Mr. Atsushi Yoshizawa, the owner, explains to me that Family restaurants which are common in Japan offer 'Western food with a touch of Japanese culture'. This is what Mr. Yoshi wanted to share to the Filipinos, hence, Tokyo Cafe was born. Pass those large glass windows and see that the place exhibits a modernistic fusion of Eastern and Western design. The style definitely suits the concept of the establishment. Hanging red spheres of light and wooden furniture accentuate the plain white walls of Tokyo Cafe.

'We don't serve traditional Japanese food, we serve Western food with unique Japanese touch,' he shares, as I asked him about the food options of his cafe. Their menu include an impressive array of pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, and burgers. For dessert, there are many crepes to choose from, and a good number of hot and iced coffee as well. The selection is quite unexpected for a restaurant with 'Tokyo' in its name, but Mr. Yoshi has incorporated Japanese ingredients in preparing the dishes so expect a little something to give the food a twist.

Which explains that you will never find sushi in there. But I must say, dining at Tokyo Cafe is all worth it, with great friends and good food? Who can go wrong?!?

Gold Coins Investment

I've been looking for ways to make our extra money grow and found this unique investment which I think is not so new to most investors. GoldCoinsGain.com is a site I saw which teaches you just about everything you need to know about physical gold coins. With Aurum Advisors having a nice track about how expert they are on investing, selling and buying gold coins, you cannot go wrong. I bet to some people like me who is not an expert on this, if somebody tells me to buy gold, I will be very skeptic and will lots of questions about why should I buy gold coins or buy gold bullion and what is a gold bullion anyway? But all these questions will be answered by a Aurum Advisor and you will be buying and selling and earning in no time. I've read reviews, people have all the positive statements about them and I also compared this site to some sites I've seen and I must say they are very promising.

I will surely read more about this investment and also mention it to a colleague at work who are soon to retire after 30 years of service to consider putting some of her retirement pay to good use instead of letting it sit in a bank with just a little profit.

Megamall Going Upscale

I was very happy to set foot in the Atrium a few months ago but really forgot to blog about it. You see, I love Megamall. Contrary to what most people say that it's "Masa", I don't really think so at all anyway. They have Lacoste stores there, my favorite Kamiseta and a lot more and I find the structure of Megamall so easy to go around in, no bridges in going here and there, not much left and right, it's just a huge straight building with 6 floors including the basement. So you can see my astonishment when I found out they're expanding and when Atrium opened I was even happier.

With more classy restaurants but mind you most are with affordable menus at the second floor and some well know branded stores like Aldo, CMG, Gap, Havaianas, La SENZA, Lacoste footwear etc. Try dining at our favorite Italian restaurant, Gottis and you will amazed of how affordable their food are plus the service is superb. The Atrium even has the cahpel at the top floor if you want to hear mass before going around on Sundays. Though Megamall is already far from our new house, we manage to go there once in a while. I just love the place with the Atrium opened, malling could'nt get any better.
