While Waiting To Take A Shower Comments Off

It’s really a cool morning. Even after a hearty breakfast and a 30-minute stroll in the park, I still feel cool.

As the water heater is out of order, I think I had better take a shower when I feel warm or hot a bit. You know, the last time I insisted on taking a cold shower when the water was cold, I fell sick for a few days.

While waiting for my body to become warmer/hotter, let me go and order a few digital frames online.

After that, update my Facebook status and play a few games.

Now I Know What hCG Is! Comments Off

Do you know what HCG injections Austin is? Last night, a family member asked me and I was not able to answer. I decided to google and find out what it meant.

hCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone that helps accelerate fat loss. Taking hCG pills, hCG drops, or hCG injections cause your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage locations so that it’s available for use.

In other words, hCG that comes in multiple forms is meant for overweight people who want to lose extra fat.

What A Scary Thunder! Comments Off

Urgh, I was forced to turn off the computer abruptly because of thunder roars just now! Right after I turned off the switch, there was this loud thunder that was the loudest I had every heard!

Quickly, I hid into my bedroom. What I did in the room was reading Reader’s Digest and applying eye wrinkle cream.

I didn’t dare to turn on other electrical appliances such as TV and radio in the room for fear that they would be struck by the thunder.

When There Is Thunder/Lightning Comments Off

Guess that I must stop looking for a Texas truck accident lawyer for my buddy and turn off my computer in a few seconds! There is strong wind and the thunder starts roaring.

When there is thunder or lightning, I must have my computer turned off. I don’t want to risk losing my computer or internet modem because of thunder/lightning strike.

Ya, it happened before. There was once that my internet modem was struck by a sudden thunder roar. It cost me more than $100 to get a new one! >.<

See How It Goes First Comments Off

I have been advised to open on online boutique since I am online most of the time and making money from niche blogs.

Honestly, it’s not easy to run an online store these days. Besides fierce competition, it’s a business that requires you to deal with humans all the time.

Speaking of dealing with people with a myriad of characters, school of thoughts and attitudes, it’s just not my cup of tea. I am simply lousy when it comes to dealing with people. ^.^

See how it goes first okay?

Xmas Or Halloween Gift For Hubby? Comments Off

While looking for boyfriend gifts and ideas for my gift blog just now, I caught sight of this leather excursion travel case made of rich brown full-grain leather.

It looks very classic, isn’t it? I especially love its cotton-canvas lining that seems to be very durable and can easily be unsnapped for cleaning up spills and stains.

Since hubby has to always go on a business trip, it’s very practical to gift him this leather excursion travel case that fits perfectly in his suitcase.

Yup, this year’s Xmas gift for hubby! Or maybe Halloween gift for him since Christmas is still a few months away?

Exercise In The Shopping Mall! Comments Off

Last night after dinner, hubby and I went for a stroll at the nearby mall. You know, shopping mall is actually quite a good place to exercise if you walk nonstop for 20 minutes or half an hour.

Exercise, of course, fails to bring results if you walk for a minute and then stop to browse through items for a few minutes.

After a 30 minutes’ walk, hubby went to check out the new arrivals at the men’s department while I hung out at a furniture store for modern and contemporary furniture.

Contemporary furniture, often described as clean, sleek, chic and high tech by fans of the style, is not only made to last, it also can be an effective and stylish addition to any room and most pieces are made with comfort in mind.

Where To Buy Discounted Tickets? Comments Off

My friend is thinking of buying a few wicked tickets. Is it true that there’s a way to get some of the best spots in the house for less than the price of the nosebleed seats?

Wicked tickets are some of the hottest theater tickets out there, so I was wondering if anyone of you knew whether the tickets are all sold out. How much are wicked tickets and how to get cheap tickets?

Share with me if you know any ticket website that offers the best selection of theater tickets and Broadway tickets on the Internet, okay?

Good Choice Comments Off

I am glad that I insisted installing ceiling fans rather than using standing fans for all the rooms including kitchen and home office when used in conjunction with air conditioning.

Ceiling fans are considered the most effective type of fans, since they effectively circulate the air in a room to create a draft throughout the room. They are a terrific way to add more ventilation to a room, whether you need to cool it down, or heat it up.

Although ceiling fans still use electricity, they are less costly than air conditioning. They decrease the energy consumption for air conditioning and improve comfort.

Listen To Your Kids/Teens Comments Off

I am proud of hubby who is so good at counseling people, especially teenagers. Friends’ kids/teens seem to listen to his advice and philosophy more than their parents’.

Although I don’t have any child yet, I know what a kid wants and how he feels more than his own parents.

Sometimes what a kid wants is pretty simple – just be his listener. A good listener. Listen to him rather than giving him advice or nagging at him.

Also, always try to be in his shoes and understand why he says such a thing or feels certain way.
