My Best Friend’s 14k Gold Charm Bracelet November 5th, 2009

I am a simple girl. I like classic clothes; I am not into trendy outfits. By classic I mean shirt and jeans. I also don’t like wearing jewelries. In fact, come to think of it I only own one piece of jewelry and that is a 14k gold charm bracelet.

The bracelet was given to me by my best friend, Cindy. We used to hang out a lot every day; before and after school and even during weekends. Our neighbors even had a nickname for us — the “inseparable twins.” If you saw one of us, chances are the other was not far behind.

As a sign of our friendship and loyalty we gave each other a charm bracelet. When Cindy gave me the bracelet it had three charms on it: A frying pan, a shoe and pants. Cindy said that since I love to cook she put the pan charm, and because she hoped I will go places someday she added the shoe. The pants was nothing symbolic actually, I wore pants almost every day, end of story.

I never anticipated that this will happen. Now, we are seldom seen together. Cindy has her own set of friends now. I don’t know what happened exactly but when she came back from a vacation in Europe, she came home a different person. I still have the bracelet, I wonder if she still has hers…

Cheap Family Vacation? Says who? November 5th, 2009

Summer is my family’s favorite season. There is nothing more wonderful that waking up in a terrific sun shiny day and going out wearing light clothes. But the most special part of the summer is our family trip.

Each year we try to go to different places, check out local cuisines and scenery. This is a family tradition of sorts. As such, we choose each vacation spot as carefully as you choose your life partner in life. There are specific criteria upon which to decide where will be the best way to go. First, it should be somewhere secluded, meaning it shouldn’t be crowded even if is in fact the time of the year when everybody takes a break. Second of all, every family member should agree to it. And lastly, and the most crucial of all is that it should be inexpensive. Yes, we do save up but we are also on a tight budget. But then this is also one of the reasons we look forward to this “cheap family vacation” every year, we are excited to see how creative we can get. We searched on the internet for the best packages, call different agents and sometimes we do come up with a vacation package of our own. Actually we all came to realize that what we do each year is beyond vacation, our trips are family adventures that we will always treasure.

The Perfect Kitchen Lighting November 5th, 2009

I have always wanted a house of my own. A place I could call home. I already have a design in my head on what the color of the walls of the living room would be like or what kind of curtain and furniture I wanted inside my room. I was even thinking of having a mini-library.

But since I am a chef I think it is already a given as to what part of the house would be my favorite, of course the kitchen. And as my favorite place in the house, I have a very vivid picture in my head of what it is going to look like, to feel like, and to smell like. I have thought of the perfect kitchen lighting that will bring warmth and solitude in the room, kind of the way I feel whenever I am cooking at work. The ambiance that the lights will bring will make every person reluctant to leave. It will definitely be a place where my friends and family will come together to have good food and honest conversation. Broken hearts will find solace here and I knew I would feel right at home there.

I may have yet attained my dream house, but I believe that it wouldn’t be long. I have faith in the power of visualization.

Plan to Buy Waterproof Digital Cameras to Document Saving the World November 5th, 2009

My friends and I love going to the beach every summer. For teenagers like us, we see it is a perfect opportunity to flaunt our killer figures, before aging and slow metabolism kick in and it is also a good venue to attract boys. Not that we are boy-crazy or anything, but it is somewhat exciting if you know that you have options when you want to go out on a date Saturday night.

Just recently, however, we decided that apart from the valid reasons I have earlier mentioned for going to the beach every summer, we wanted to also use this as a means to give back to Mother Nature. So, we are planning of setting up a website where we can encourage people to care for the environment, particularly the waters and the animals inhabiting it. We are thinking of also including a forum section where everyone could debate on or discuss how to save the environment. We are also going to buy waterproof digital cameras so that we could document our summer at the beach and even our adventures under water for posting in the web site. We will also encourage the people visiting the sites to do the same. We are so looking forward to actually carrying out all of these plans so that we would definitely have a worthwhile summer.

Discount Bathroom Vanities Started It All November 5th, 2009

My best friend is getting married next month and we are really thrilled. True, it was pretty surprising. I mean she met this guy, and then less than a week later they are going steady, two days after that they moved in together and before you know it they are already engaged. Even so, I really think that their marriage will work. I never met two people so in love.

Anyway, I am the maid of honor, and one of the tasks delegated to me, apart from the official wedding duties, was to help them fix their new house. I forgot to mention that I am an interior decorator. It should have been fairly easy but they practically have zero budget for it. But then I thought I could use the challenge. It was like trying to build something from scratch. And I am excited on what I could come up with.

I went scouting for really inexpensive furniture and I was really pleased with my purchases. Actually what started the ball rolling for me was when I found this store with discount bathroom vanities. You wouldn’t believe how pretty and reasonably priced the items were. Once I was done picturing how the bathroom would look, I knew exactly what I was going to do with the entire house. I asked my friend to stay away until I have finished my work at the house and I am sure she will be really pleased with the result.
