For my Father

My father's old cellphone was broken. So I wanted to replace it. He wanted a simple cellphone so I got this unit for him. Simple and user friendly. Last night, at the eve of Christmas, my father got this cellphone as a gift. He was so delighted. Glad I made him happy.

Oh by the way, the money I used for the purchase is from the blog advertising I've been doing. Great way to earn extra right?!

Have a wonderful Christmas day to all!!!!

Dream Vacation

Christmas is coming. It is one of the most awaited celebrations of the year. After the tiring festivity, I am looking forward for a grand vacation since I will be back to work at January 5 next year. Actually it’s our yearly tradition that the husband and I go out for days just to relax. Would it be great to be somewhere you really like. If we have extra money I really would like to spend my few days vacation on a cruise. So romantic isn’t?

Out of curiosity I googled over the internet to look for great deal cruise and I found Vacation To Go. They offers great discount cruise and they are based in Houston. Timely my friend who is about to marry next year plans to have an Australian/New Zealand cruise and Vacations To Go has a perfect package. Their ships offer year-round cruises departing from Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland. Whether you're cruising around the coasts and warm waters of Australia and New Zealand, or scheming into the fabulous South Pacific, the travel ahead of you is highlighted with above par service, ample onboard activities, and wonderful dining options. My friend would be really like it what Vacations To Go offers. I know she will grab this one.

If your looking for a splendid vacation, think about giving cruising and Vacations To Go a visit. You won’t be disappointed in what you find over there.

Sugar Cookies

I whipped another Christmas Cookies.

If you want to make your own, you just have to;

3/4 cup crisco shortening (or butter), softened

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

What to do;

Cream butter, sugar until smooth. Add egg, one at a time then the vanilla.

In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry mixture over the butter sugar mixture. Mix well. cover and chill dough for an hour or overnight.

When your ready to bake, heat overn for 375 degrees F, On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness (mine was a bit thicker though). Cut in shapes with cookie cutters. Add more flour to the surface as the dough is sticky. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes (so as not to break the cookies) before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Instead of making sugar icing to decorate, I just used wilton food writer. No sweat ei!?

Be healthy

People with diabetes has a health condition with disordered metabolism which means the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar in the blood, some are due environmental causes or hereditary.

If someone has diabetes, it would be great to make a healthful lifestyle. Do exercise, healthy diet, and other health habits.

Someone with this syndrome is advice by doctors to lessen their sugar intake but what if they have the sweet tooth?

Now there is a good news to that.

Xylitol and Erythritol are natural sweeteners that are safe for diabetic people. Xylitol is not actually a sugar but a sugar alcohol and primarily derived from plant sources. categorized as a low calorie, low carbohydrate natural sweetener, xylitol is even considered beneficial for your teeth that which is why xylitol can helps prevent dental caries.

Emerald Forest, a A1 company that is engaged in producing natural, healthy products that use sweeteners that are both safe. Check http://www.EmeraldForestXylitol.com and benefit the healthy life it would bring

If I could keep you for eternity If I could own you for life

However, there is no such things as forever

As everything will goes away

So for a while you have to stay....

let me take good care of you

in every minute of my day

A chat with a friend.

The other day, I was able to chat with my friend at California. It’s been a long time that we had not communicated. So I was so eager to know more things about him. He is now married with three beautiful kids and right now he is working as a law enforcer.

I was so lucky to find him online as he was canvassing stuffs at Work Boots USA. So as not to look dumb, I quickly googled Work Boots USA for me to be informed about their products. Then I found out that it’s a store who sells 5.11. I got interested with their tactical series clothing which promotes safety, accuracy, speed and performance of law enforcement, military and firefighting professionals. So that is the reason why my friend trusted this store with his tactical gears from head to foot.

Upon further browsing their site, I got informed that they have a full line dealer of the best selling tactical clothing, uniforms, outerwear, footwear, eyewear, duty knives, tactical gear, holsters and more on this site. So no wonder they are one of the fastest growing company in the US.

My friend has been loyal to Work Boots USA. As their products are durable, long lasting and not to forget that their prices are way cheaper compared to others. Because it’s the season of giving, he wanted to buy a tactical series eyewear to give as a present to his brother. He asked my opinion about the design. I looked at the eyewear he was referring and I am really amaze because it is stylish yet durable because it is armed with a hard shell and its price is so reasonable. So I told him it would be a great buy. Then I advice him to buy more stuffs atleast above 50 dollars from Work Boots so he could avail free ground shipping. That is a great deal right?

Then my friend suddenly said goodbye for he has to chat lives online with customer service. So I told him not to forget to buy me something form Work Boots USA.

So I am keeping my fingers cross.
