One of the things we accomplished during our short stay in Singapore was to have our rings cleaned.  We were worried about entrusting our diamond rings (wedding and engagement) to jewelry shops in Manila for fear that our stones might be swapped for fake ones.  I know, that sounds so distrustful but we prefer to [...]

These days, searching for a good web host is no longer as intimidating as it was in the past.  With the help of Google search and a lot of websites providing guides, reviews and newsletters, it’s just a matter of choosing which company you’d entrust your websites to.  Web Hosting Choice is one of those [...]

With access to the television 24×7, I can say that I’ve watched a good number of news and updates about the Victoria bush fires.  What I’m enjoying to see nowadays are the relief operations that regular people (meaning not the government officials or servants) undertake to help rebuild the communities.

I was clearing up our hat and jacket rack when I decided to pay attention to the growing number of umbrellas that we have. We’re only three in the family but we have about 10 umbrellas in various colors and sizes! Most of them were promotional business gifts from job and insurance agents [...]
