To The Moon And Back

I got a quote request for a new site development similar to this commercial real estate site. It’s a great project but I’m so fully booked my first thought was to decline it. Good thing that just before I clicked on the send button, I remembered to add that I’d be available on August. The client replied and he’s willing to wait because he’s planning to come home to the Philippines around that time as well. So on August, I’ll be meeting with two new international clients, the other one is a makeup artist who wants to put up her shop here. Things are really great, project-wise and I’m very satisfied with the number of leads I’m getting monthly.

I’m glad that ever since I gave birth, my PMS attacks have lessened. I’ve heard about women who find it hard to function during that time of the month, to the point that they refuse to go to work at all. The good news is there’s this progesterone cream that helps combat the symptoms of PMS. Not only that but it also eases the conditions associated with menopause, reduces stress, prevents osteoporosis and offers relief of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The website says this cream is made of natural products and doesn’t contain any chemical additives. Still, I’d suggest a thorough research or contact their support people to learn more about this product.

I absolutely love his blog especially the photos, the one with cute white doodles? Lindsay Lohan and Paris are regulars on his blog so if you want to read dirts on them, or any other Hollywood celebrities, make it a habit to visit daily. I came across Perez Hilton while reading a post from John Mayer’s blog and got hooked eversince.

Anyway, I snagged this photo of Scarlet from Perez Hilton’s blog.

Just love her face, her skin (she probably uses natural acne treatment) and her full lips! I was surprised to see at BarnesandNoble that she has an album so I might check that out. Scarlet is pretty funny too. Have you seen her stint at SNL? She was on every sketch and wasn’t afraid to look silly. Now that’s what I call sexy

In search for the best digital camera? Let BestinClass.com help you. There are thousands of cameras that you can choose from so the first thing you need to do is figure out your needs. Do you travel a lot? You can find the best travel digital camera using the search wizard wherein you will choose your preferred size and price. Once you submit your search, Best in Class will display the top recommended cameras as recommended by experts.

Don’t like what you see? You can easily refine your search results by:

• Type - point and shoot, manual controls, interchangeable lenses
• Use - for travel, young children, fast action, low light
• Size - compact, ultra compact
• Price - $200 to $1500 above
• Features - wide angle lens, high resolution, large LCD screen, rugged and weatherproof, etc.

Other search options that you can use: Brand (canon, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus), Memory, Lens.

I’ve been wanting to buy another camera that’s light and easy to use. Usually, by the time I’m done tinkering with the manual settings of our DSLR, my daughter got tired of posing and I’d be left with blurry and not so nice shots.

After trying the search wizard for the best compact digital camera:

1. Use - Photos of young children or pets (need to quickly capture the moment)
2. Size - Compact (fits in a purse or jacket pocket)
3. Price - under $400

I got four recommendations but the other two were as big as our Canon 300D. The other two are Canon Powershot and Panasonic Lumix. I haven’t tried any Panasonic cameras though and don’t want to spend money on a brand that I haven’t used yet. This cuts my list to only one:

Canon PowerShot SD850 IS
8MP Ultra Compact Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
$229.94 (cheap huh!)

This small and versatile camera has clean lines and an easy-to-use interface. It also
boasts a good zoom, image stabilizer, and face detection, making it ideal for capturing
precious moments with children.

The recommendation doesn’t end there. There’s a full recommendation page detailing the features of your chosen product and a few more camera options just in case the item did not meet your requirements.

Need words that rhyme for your favorite pasttime?

Why not try this website to get some insight?

Composing poems or songs, finding a word that belongs

With just a matter of few clicks, you can come up with some lyrics

Okay, enough. So this poem sucks. What I really want to say is if you need to come up with words that rhyme, rhymer.com is the perfect place to start. I was working on a tag and I had to come up with a word that rhymes with June. All I can think about were typhoon, soon, monsoon, baboon which doesn’t make sense. So I thought, hmmm perhaps there’s a website somewhere that helps you find rhyming words. And you know what, there is! Isn’t the Internet grand?

Find more rhyming words with Rhymer’s massive 93,000-word dictionary. Books and online dictionaries offer fewer rhymes.

Use Rhymer from inside Microsoft Word for Windows. Rhymer installs on Word’s Tools menu and lets you insert rhyming words directly into your document. If you have a Macintosh or a different Windows word processor, you can still run the program by itself and copy and paste words into your document.

Specify the range of syllables you want in your search (e.g. Find rhymes between one and two syllables only).

Specify the range of letters you want in your search (e.g. Find rhymes between one and eight letters only).

Choose from alternate pronunciations (e.g., when you type “read” do you want it to sound like “reed” or “red”?)

Cool app. You never know when you’re gonna need one.

I just saw that my cell phone, Nokia E65 now costs $281.99 from buy.com. I bought it nine months ago at $500 and now it’s almost half the price. Talk about depreciation. Well that, or cell phones are just insanely cheap when bought online.

I also saw a Nokia 95 unlocked phone and couldn’t believe that it’s being sold for only $478.99. Man, I better take advantage of this before my client comes home this July. He asked me if there’s anything that I want to buy online so he can bring it with him. Of course, what I really want is an iMac but there’s no way I can afford it right now. A new phone, on the other hand, to replace my now cheap E65 is a great deal. I could always sell it, for a higher price if I find that I don’t like it.

I’ve been receiving birthday invitations left and right. Even though I’ve promised not to spend any more money on toys for my daughter, I’m still buying them at least once a month because you can’t go to parties empty handed right? Five years ago, the parties consist of wines, tequilas, late nights and boxes of pizzas. Now, it’s all about balloon bursts, piñatas, magicians, bubble shows and loot bags. Things really have changed. Gone were the 20 somethings who stay out all night till morning to take advantage of buy one take two San Mig lights. They’ve been replaced by parents who spend $100-$300 on cribs, strollers and worry about BPA-free bottles. The good thing is we’ve all gotten used to staying up late that going on a 24-hour sing and dance marathon with a colicky baby is just a walk in the park.

When a website says they write about unbiased reviews, is it really true? There’s this one that reviewed Phentermine and gave it a rank of 35 out of 200 diet pills reviewed. After declaring that, they will list the top 10 diet pills that they believe will give you your money’s worth. It makes you wonder if they have been paid to say it or not. Anyway, I don’t really go for diet pills unless a doctor recommended them to me personally. And that’s after a three-hour consultation, including tests. Plus I have this aversion to diet pills after receiving junk emails and comments about Phentermine no prescription, etc. for three whole months. I mean, you’re probably not very good if you have to spam people with your products right? But that’s just me. Most of them probably work but I highly suggest you do a thorough research before taking one. You wouldn’t want to be that person who achieved her dream weight, only to die because her liver took all the beating.
