My Pink Shoelace

It has been convenient for me to go and get my documents online and have them delivered to me after I pay the amount needed. I had my birth certificate sent to me and I just wonder what I’m going to do if it’s a death certificate and where one can get it but I’m not hoping I’d get mine anytime soon.

Ever heard of the term whiplash? If not then welcome to the club, coz I haven’t heard of it either not till now. One of my friends (a regular spammer in my yahoo mail) forwarded this rather intriguing story of a teenager in London whose parents won a suit through the help of a law firm specializing in Whiplash Injury Claims, now what on earth does the word whiplash mean? When I read it what came to mind was the act of an adult punishing a stubborn child with a whip. lol Well, here’s the definition: Whiplash is caused by the sudden impact of a road accident when the head is thrown back very quickly and violently. The after effects of whiplash can be distressing. Whiplash sufferers can experience varying degrees of neck pain, stiffness, headaches and shoulder and back pain. So this is basically what we see in many movies wherein during a car accident the driver’s forehead is thrown back and then gets unconscious afterwards.

There are various law firms out there offering such a service, or would assist you in getting your right injury claim should this type of accident happens to you. These law firms also assist in Bicycle Accident Claims and Personal Injury Claims and the good thing bout them is they don’t charge you initially. I mean, their legal fees and whatever types of fees there are would only apply the moment the claim is successful and the case won.

This firm offering these services is based in the UK, am not sure if there are firms like this in Asia but if you’re in UK and you need help understanding the legalities of these claims then go ahead and give them a ring.

I’v been meaning to get real thin but it has not come to a point yet that am considering taking diet pills. Right now though with my current ulcer and the fact that I have so many food restrictions dieting is the last thing on my mind. But I do have a friend who’s into it as well and since I came across a herbal diet pill online called hoodia I might mention this to her so she can get to check out the site and possibly try it and see it it works.

I’ve been meaning to get real thin but it has not come to a point yet that am considering taking slimming pills. Right now though with my current ulcer and the fact that I have so many food restrictions dieting is the last thing on my mind. But I do have a friend who’s into it as well and since I came across a herbal diet pill online called orovo I might mention this to her so she can get to check out the site and possibly try it and see it it works. Problem is one has to be real careful cause there’s such a thing as orovo detox scam so one has to be careful of the product being purchased cause it might not even be the real deal.

Working out right after every shift is kinda tiring but I like it.  What’s frustrating though is the fact there hasn’t been that much of an improvement … worse is having someone tell you out loud that there are no apparent changes.  With the number of email advertisements that I get on a daily basis I saw one that was rather tempting, its called eca stack which is a combination of ephedra, caffeine and aspirin all in the right amount and is a guaranteed weight loss pill. Whew!! Tempting but I’ll stick with my workout.

We all go through an acne episode once in our life, twice if we’re unlucky and with that people are always in constant search for the best acne treatment they can afford. There is no need to elaborate the many ways acne destroys lives so this condition must be stopped at the earliest stage. Don’t be a victim, fight back now.

Walk talking to Yayen the other day and was surprised to find out from her that she’s pregnant, expected date would be March of next year. She also told me that Karen (another classmate) just gave birth a couple of weeks ago to a baby boy. Whew!!! So much for progress … anyways there might be a get together and I might even be invited to the Christening of their babies.

Presents are in order and since were talking babynese what could be more perfect than these lovely Bugaboo stroller; now wouldn’t that be perfect?

In a neighborhood of a bustling city its hard to give a hundred percent trust to everyone in the area. With movies about undercover serial killers or killer barbers its safe to remain cautious at all times. In the States where the population is growing continuously and in huge numbers crimes both petty and big are rampant. You’ll never know if you could be someone’s watch list of the next victim to be, in the attempts of crime awareness several NGO’s and concerned citizens put up a site containing the Sexual Predator List in any state, city and county to bring awareness to women, old and young. Rape and murder seem to be very rampant in the US especially in those neighborhood known for crime and violence. To date there are about  644,865 sexual predators living in the US. Now isn’t that scary? Your next door neighbor could be one of them or the guy who collects your garbage. So better be aware and cautious, check this list out and see if any names look familiar.

The view and the chaise lounge looks enticing, the perfect combination for that dream vacation by the beach. I know of someone who’s house is situated on the beach front it often made me wonder why he has not converted the area to a beach resort seeing that its just got that perfect touch. He said if he’d do that then the place would lose its charm and would be jampacked with people.

As we went through his collection of outdoor furnitures, ones that he put in the storage and would only take them out when friends came over, he’s got a collection enough to set up a pool barbecue party. Tables, chaise lounges, umbrellas and a lot more. As he places them away he used patio furniture covers to make sure the dust wont stick to the furnitures after all almost all of them are white.

Passed by a furniture house yesterday on my way home and was enamored by the multitude of rugs available. Most of them are pretty colorful while other have this very intricate designs. Cheap rugs are available online most of which have this classy oriental design, there are also area rugs in pink which are very tempting to buy. They’re s’pose to add color and beauty to the area where they are placed. What amazes me though is the fact that creating these rugs not only require skill but also an appreciation of beauty and color symmetry. I mean how can they put up those patterns if don’t have an inkling of beauty and color combination?

On an article online it states that Oriental rugs have long been appreciated since ancient times for their beauty. That beauty is achieved in these Oriental Rugs through the choice of colors and designs, as well as by the manipulation of designs and colors to form pleasing patterns. Patterns in Oriental Area Rugs are never quite what you expect - a surprise here, a flourish there, a change of color, the flip or rotation of a design where you might not predict it. The more you look, the more variations you will find in Oriental Rugs.

Isn’t that interesting?

Guess what are they? Wrought iron moon and star bookends. I was searching online for something to contain my growing pocket books. Not a cabinet as I definitely don’t have the space … my pocket books and school books are in a clutter on the floor in my bedroom. Waaaaa talk about over delayed general cleaning. So anyways I saw that bookend online and I find it cute not to mention unique, I can just arrange my books on top of my dresser and use those bookends to hold them in place. Double checked on the site once again see if there’s anything else I can use or make it anything else that might take my fancy and use at the same time. They also have curtain rods and a wide variety of garden decors. Now the next question is how to order one and have it shipped to where I am . lol .

Working as a mediator between construction companies and the local government this friend of mine has much know how on suppliers and dealers. Of late the project he was on was the construction of a highway road somewhere down south. This jobs of his entails the gathering of suppliers for the materials needed for the project, he mentioned once that there were close to 5 bidders for construction materials but he’s vote was on Jensen Precast. This company is a supplier/manufacturer of  Precast Concrete products and related fabricated steel products primarily for underground utilities/infrastructure construction. He said he’s had a good working history with them on a previous project where in he got the company as the supplier for Precast Concrete Septic Tanks, not only were they of good quality but they were cheap as well.

So he closed his latest deal with them once again as the supplier for the project, seems like this company is making a big impression.

I don’t know if you have heard of the term Nouveau Riche. It is actually used for social class distinctions between those who acquired their wealth in his or her generation and those people who came from families who has been wealthy for multiple generations. Nouveau Riche means “new money” in English. The first time I heard of the term was in the movie Titanic. It was used as a derogatory term for Rosie O’donell’s character by Kate Winslet’s social class who were the “old money” in the movie. I wonder how the people in the past would react now that there are a lot of parvenus (people who has recently or suddenly risen to an unaccustomed position of wealth or power and has not yet gained the prestige, dignity, or manner associated with it) like Rosie O’donell’s character. “New money” people like Ronald Reagan and the likes of David Filo and Jerry Yang who are the creators of Yahoo!. I bet they will be raising their eyebrows even higher when they hear of a university that was named Nouveau Riche whose sole purpose is to help individuals who want to improve their socioeconomic standing through investing in the real estate industry, which is one of the most lucrative industries these days not only in the US but all over the world.

So how do they do it? They do it through courses that were designed to teach their students “how-to” real estate investment concepts and strategies. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of several short-term and long-term real estate investment strategies. On a personal note, I admire Nouveaux Riches more for they acquired their wealth through their own abilities. Although, I’m not saying that those whose families remained rich all these time shouldn’t be admired. It’s just that the recognition to “old money” shouldn’t go to just one individual. The recognition should go to their family for it was a shared effort to keep their status.

I’m young, but I don’t make it as an excuse to just slack off or waste my hard-earned money off to some temporary respite that I may never get to fully use in my lifetime. I’m still in the process of discovery when it comes to money matters and decision-making.

Having been able to read Mr. Kiyosaki’s book Rich Dad Poor Dad sometime last year, I resulted to finding out more in finding a way to understand more about the real estate business. Nouveau Riche University where a visionary CEO in the person of Jim Piccolo has a way of learning to realize the concepts of earning much and getting more than what you’ve invested.

Nouveau Riche University has an extensive way of opportunities to go beyond your norms so that you can maximize your time living life while staying young. That’s why the goal of Jim Piccolo is to make sure you get value for your money as they don’t want you to be compromised as well.

I plan to do everything I can so that I won’t get burned out when the time comes that I no longer want to work for the same job. At least in the future, I’m more or less insured due to the number of savings and investments that I’ve come up. So for now, I still like to be in a rat race cause I want to experience to learn.Reading all about Nouveau Riche University and Jim Piccolo is surely enlightening and encouraging hopefully someday I’d be one like him.

  Reloadable prepaid cards are rampant nowadays. They seem pretty ideal for cashless shopping both online and in retail shops. Now many would ask what prepaid cards are? They function more or less like a credit card but without the credit as you only get to spend whatever amount is on your card, somewhat like a debit card but with much wider acceptance, especially those with the Maestro, Mastercard logos on them. Plus using these cards as there are many types of them one of which is the cashplus cards users get discounts with online purchases. Seems like online stores have had collaboration with these prepaid card companies regarding offers, discounts and freebies with their clients.

So if you’re thinking of applying for one then it’d be better if you get started on reading some of the prepaid card review to get a background on each type of card before rushing on with the application.

Back in the late 80’s when I was a toddler I remembered hearing often my mom talking to my grandma about minimizing her use of cigars. I used to find it captivating, the way the smoke comes out of her nose and the way it seemed to relax her in the hours of siesta. It also reminds me of those elegant men in movies in their fine suits playing poker or who knows what with a cigar  in their mouths. Whats with these cigars anyway? What made it different with the cigarettes that even teenagers used now?

Used to think that with time these cigars would be phased out and would be replaced by the growing number of cigarette brands haunting the market. But apparently I am wrong, as these cigars are still in existence and are in increasing high prices. Made it seem like its for the older generation who has done their part in the world and are now just relaxing, compared to the youth with their cigarette sticks still on the look out for their purpose in life.

Right across work, well not directly across but a couple of blocks away there’s a hotel one of the finest in the area and they have a casino flocked by locals and foreigners alike. As I was told this gambling establishment is the main one in the area and has all sorts of games imaginable. Poker, slot machines, and all those card games, what amuses me is that casinos are flocked with people at night just like a bar and am not quite sure why. Also people going there are dressed to kill and are almost always in wheels. Is it an indication that only the wealthy gets in?

What about those who has the capacity to gamble yet are just comfortable to wear their baggy jeans and yesterday’s shirt? Are they blocked at the entrance by those guards in black suits? Waaaaaaa I guess just like shopping instead of dragging your ass to the mall one can just shop virtually, now who would care what your wearing?

Online casinos are rampant nowadays the same way virtual shopping stores are, giving you the luxury to play in your pyjamas without leaving the comforts of your home.

Do you enjoy making cute friends online? If you’re over 18 years old then that is not a problem. Connect with a number of teens in your area via the free chat room or chat lines. You can grab the opportunity of unlimited free chat to one of the cutest and hottest teens from your local area. What are you waiting for? Teen chat is just a phone call away or better yet holler them up using the phone chat. Forget being shy, make your move, men and women are just waiting to meet you. Join the chat lines and meet new friends. They also have what they call the adult chat I guess this would be for those well over twenty. But its free nonetheless so grab your phones and start talking.

With the site I created to showcase some of my stuff and most of the items Doi purchased in Bangkok, I was enamored with the thought of starting a business of my own. But for now I guess I’ll settle with what am doing since I don’ t the capacity to start on my own, though small business loans are readily available but am not ready to venture out on that yet. You can say am still learning and business financing is something that I still need to fully understand. Am not sure if the capital they’ve used on this business venture is acquired through a small business loan but if it is then am sure they’ve fully recovered the capital by now and some more.

The purchases done in Bangkok were numerous blouses, blouses and more blouses and am very eager to get my hands on the stocks since they’ve arrived already. Weeeee more pictures and more items for D’ Pink Shopaholic. Hopefully, we’d get to take pics of them before the week ends.

The boom of the word wide web made everything almost possible. Shopping can now be done online, used to think it wouldn’t work but after trying it out I think am getting addicted.  I do my banking online, paid for my bills online and move money around my savings online. Heck, sometimes I think I hardly move my butt anymore hehehe, so with this boom its hardly impossible to see online casinos popping up in every corner. Most of them are US online casinos which accepts international players, other USA online casinos specify that only US players can join. The complexities of the rules in casinos made me hesitant (not that am much of a gambler) to join. But it would have been a nice past time. Like a friend of mine who’s addicted to poker online … he said its good a past time. Just don’t count the money draining out of your pocket. lol!

Jenny’s birthday is fast approaching and am thinking of throwing out a birthday party for her. Something small and homey so as early as now am on the look out for birthday party supplies. Cakes, balloons, confetti, give aways and what not. Hopefully I’d be able to find a party package or discount party supplies so I can focus more on the food and possibly hire a mascot for the kids.

She’d turn 8 this October and am planning to hold the party at their classroom so she’ll have fun with her classmates. But first things first, looking for the needed party supplies.  October is fast approaching and so far I haven’t decided on the theme of her party. When Mier’s lingin had her birthday it was a Disney Princess sort of theme, am not sure if Jenny’s too old for that. *sigh*

Didn’t know planning a party of an 8 year old entails a lot of thinking ang work. Grrrrr

I’m wondering where I can get a right unsecured loan or line of credit because I’m planning to expand my business directly. Of course my store isn’t that big yet but it would be nice to be able to secure yourself so that if I plan to shell out big on this venture, I already have the resources available. I’m looking for some of Our unsecured loan agents, specialists and the like who are serious in addressing my plans. Besides it’s hard to just find a following unsecured loan and/or line of credit that wouldn’t damage my pockets off much.

Next to buying  a house is buying a car. Yeah, so maybe it did cross my mind to  get one but not until am 25 or older. A house is in my top list and am loving the idea of owning one already. Doi has a car and so is RJ, with RJ she has an insurance for it paid for by her dad and she said its a must of all vehicle owner just in case of emergency. Was searching for auto insurance online when I ran into a bunch of stuff I find complicated. Heheh goes down to the conclusion that it’s best to have an insurance agent explain it to you in person.

With the advancement of technology, a lot of devices have been created to cater to the growing needs of the population. Say for instance computers which have grown tremendously popular not only with businesses but even in every typical home. Same thing goes with medicine, there’s a huge improvement on the machinery they use in treating patients, in discovering and creating new drugs for diseases that were thought of as incurable in the past. Lets take a look at opthalmology, with time eye problems such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism has increased its effect on the population.

Here’s where technology play its vital part with a certain type of refractive laser eye surgery performed by skilled ophthalmologists could now correct the eye problems which were deemed impossible to cure way back then.

For those suffering from myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism you might wanna consult your ophthalmologists for solutions to your problems. Am sure they’d suggest that you go through the refractive laser eye surgery but if you’re not decided yet better check out the net on Lasik Information, am sure there’s plenty to read so that you’ll have a background of how it works. Check out what other patients have to say and weigh them down before you decide on should you or should you not pursue.

They said going to the gym is not enough to build the muscles and lose the extra weight that we have.  We need to have weight loss supplements to fasten the fat burning process of our bodies along with the regimen that our gym instructors give us.  We should always remember that we different body types and each body type acts differently when you expose it to certain conditions.  That is why a lot of pharmaceutical companies spends millions of dollars to come up with products that will help us achieve the body type that we want without starving ourselves to death. And indeed they came up with products that have certain vitamins to help boost the energy level that our bodies had produce.  Which is good since more energy produced means stored food being burned.  So let us not limit ourselves by just going to the gym or avoid the “sinful” food that we have enjoyed ever since we were kids.  Go to a nutritionist and ask them about weight loss supplements that can help us lose those extra pounds and get that body that we dream of.

Upon opening my web mail on the dashboard, I’d see a lot of celebrity news whether they’re true or not I couldn’t tell for sure. Often times they’re all about this person being admitted to a certain alcohol rehabilitation center others for drug detox or simply put to enroll in a drug rehab program. Why is this the case? Are these celebrities with money to burn simply stressed out that they resorted to alcohol, drugs and what not? Or is it solely to catch the media’s attention?

Looking at various rehab centers abroad this one caught my attention the ambience and I think the serenity of what the place has to offer is just amazing. Who wouldn’t wanna stay here? If this is as immaculate as the pic has to offer? With a gym inside who wouldn’t shape up? No wonder Britney has such powerful abs when she got out of rehab, the food I believe is also superb and the staff accomodating. After all its got to be worth all your money, but then these people have loads of cash to spare so this shouldn’t be an issue.

How I wish rehab centers here are as modernized as the ones abroad it would defnitely make recovery fast and easy.

I love the way this room was setup .. so mysterious. So here I am window shopping in the world wide be and I ran into wooden beds, dining tables, bookcases and other furniture which fueled my desire once more to own my own place. I’ve been meaning to process my application for the low cost housing but up till now I haven’t filled out a single application form. Huhuhu procastination … thats the word. Mitchy said I should fill out the form before September 15th as thats the deadline set by HR otherwise I’d have to do it on my own at the office.

Oh, well its still August … so I still have ample days to drag my but down the 11th floor to get that form, fill it out and submit it to them.

As I was going through the many shops in Bangkok, my most favorite would the Pantip Plaze cause of the gadgets I ran into digital frames next to notebooks and I them cute and perfect as presents. Too bad I ad purchased stuff for the people at work, they would have been perfect. I didn’t buy one for myself coz I didn’t see any frame in pink. Lol!!! Hehehe But should I go back, my next round of presents would definitely be these designer frames.digital frame

I love cats, I find them so glamorous especially the way they walk without any sound. The only problem is I cannot own one because am asthmatic but a neighbor of mine has one and she pampers her the same way she’d pamper her sister. Buying her one of those cute pet beds you’d find in any pet shop.
