Music And Travel

What music format do you take when you roadtrip and why? (CD, mp3 etc)
* I normally listen to CD when traveling with my family. I made sure I bring all my favorite CD's especially if it's a long trip.

Do you ever make special mixes or playlists just for your trip?
* I did. But it was long time ago and it was from Jaci Velasquez CD. Dear hubby sent me Jaci Velasquez CD's when we were still engaged 7 years ago :)

Electric Breast Pumps | Manual Breast Pumps

My sister just gave birth to a healthy baby boy last week and I'm planning to send her an electric breast pump for her to use. I used an electric breast pump when I gave birth to my kids few years ago. Breast pump is really a big help especially to those infants who had a hard time latching.

At Allegro Medical, you can find high quality breast pumps and accessories, home and health, medical equipment supplies at competitive prices.

MM: Directions

When you're lost, do you ask for directions? Yes of course. When I know that I'm lost or something, I immediately ask for directions. But my dear hubby is a total opposite! He never ask for directions even though he knows we're lost! We're talking about "pride thing" here. LOL. I just don't get it. I told him, he should just forget about his pride and do what is right. But he's getting better now and I always told him asking someone's help or directions isn't a bad idea. Don't you think?

Sagbayan Peak Bohol | Sagbayan Peak In Bohol Philippines

Dear hubby and I are planning to visit our family and relatives in the Philippines early next year. We were supposed to visit them this year but we decided to do it later because of the swine flu virus going on and also because of the recession. The plane tickets will cost us around $10,000 (both ways). Too much, isn't it? Anyway, part of our plans is to visit some of the beautiful tourist spots in Bohol. I'm really looking forward to visit Sagbayan Peak located in Sagbayan, Bohol. Sagbayan Peak is a mountain resort and recreation center located in the town of Sagbayan, about 45 miles northwest of Tagbilaran City. But for now, I would like to check out Outer Banks in North Carolina, as well as some theme parks in Florida. We're been planning to visit our cousins in Florida pretty soon.

Interested In Option Trading?

My friend told me to find tools which can help her business. She’s having her own trading business for two years now. And it keeps going, she has the ability to transact properly because her family was into that business before too. So she has an ideas on how to handle it correctly. But of course as her business goes on softly, she also into searching for more tools which can help her business more growth. And as a friend, who knows I’ll be in the same line of business in the future, so I tried surfing and find this options trading. Exactly this is it. Great information!

Another Sleepless Night

We went to church last Sunday. We left the house at around 9:30 in the morning. After church, we headed to Outback Steakhouse to have lunch. After that, we went to the park nearby since it was a beautiful day! As time passed by, it was getting colder and I noticed dear son was cold so I decided to bring him to the car. On our way home, he was already coughing. I felt really bad for him. His fever is a little bit high and he had a hard time sleeping at night. I read an article about Vicks so I decided to put some Vicks on his foot every night which helps a little bit. His fever is quite okay since yesterday morning. As for me, I haven't get any sleep yet! I might lose some weight so I definitely don't need any fat burner pills for now.
