Back from Vacation Mode

I am finally back from my 1 week vacation . Whoa! I haven't updated all my blogs for a week. I've been so busy during my sister and her friend's holiday here in the Philippines. I am their tour guide so I need to be with them wherever they want to go. They love to go shopping, eating, go adventure tripping and going to the beach. We spent the whole day for that activities so I ended up dead tired when I arrived home. 

It was worth the time though cause it made our bonding even more closer specially with my sister. We seldom see each other and her holiday helped us in bridging the distance between us. I am also glad that her friend liked our country too. She said that she will go back here in the Philippines. We all had fun during their holiday. It was such a nice family and friends bonding moments that I will always cherished with. 

8 Safety Precautions To Take When Online Dating

When you are dating online you have to take some precautions. Don't let this scare you away from online dating because you have to be safe no matter how you date. Dating online just has some necessary safety precautions that are a little different. Here are 8 safety precautions to take when online dating.

Use An Untraceable Email Address

This may sound kind of cloak-and-dagger but you're just being careful. You want to be able to correspond with potential mates in a way that they won't learn anything about you that will let them find you in the real world until you are ready. A tasteful email address with a name that has little to nothing to do with who you really are is a sensible precaution.

Keep Your Profile Clean

You don't want anyone to get the wrong impression so keep your profile including your username, your pictures, and everything else clean. You won't attract the good ones by making up an oversexed profile. If you do have this kind of profile then you are more likely to attract the ones who will view you as a sexual object, which is just unsafe.

Don't Share Any Personal Information

The type of personal information being referred to here is everything from your last name to the places you like to hang out. You don't want someone to be able to arrange a chance meeting before you're ready. Don't tell them anything you wouldn't want any stranger online to know.

Take It Slowly

The best thing you can do to stay safe when online dating is to take it slowly. This alone will weed out most of the people online with bad intentions. You want someone who is willing to take the time to get to know you online because they know that if you both turn out to be a good match then you will have plenty of time in person down the line.

Look For Inconsistencies

Pay attention to what someone says online. If there are any inconsistencies then pay attention to those. Some people pretend to be something they are not and will give you clues that this is what they are doing. Don't dismiss it when someone says things that don't line up with who they say they are.

Pay Attention When You Get A Bad Feeling About Someone

If you get a bad feeling about someone then ask yourself why. Even online you can trust your gut to warn you that someone is bad news. If your gut tells you to stay away from someone then do it.

Google The Person

At some point you want to Google the person. You may even want to do a more thorough background check. This will help you to find out anything you should know about someone before you think about meeting them.

Meet In Public And Tell Your Friends

When you finally do meet then meet in public and let your friends know all about it. You want someone to know where you are and who you're with just in case. You may even want to call your friend a little bit into the meeting to tell them everything is going well and that you are safe.

Jollibee Treat with my Family

Here's a recent photo of us Girls together with my younger sister and her friend who is having a holiday here in the Philippines right now. My sister in law and my daughter is also with me. I'm happy to know that they really enjoyed their holiday here with us. Such a nice family bonding isn't it? ^_^ 

Busy of My Sister's Holiday

It's been awhile that I haven't updated all my blogs because I got busy of my younger sister's holiday. She and her friend arrived last Saturday and since they will spend their holiday here in the Philippines for 1 week, I have to take my time to be with them. I am their tour guide since this is my sister's first time to travel alone without my mom and this is also her friend's first time to visit the Philippines.

They just love to go swimming at the beach, do some shopping and dine outside. I am also planning to take them to our local tourist spots here in our city. I'm glad that so far so good they are enjoying our country. So please bear with my guys I will be back online after my sister and her friend's holiday. Thanks for taking your time in visiting my blogs. Ciao for Now!

Pink Party Theme & Favors

This coming Saturday is gonna be a big day for my little daughter because she will celebrate her 4th birthday. It's actually a late birthday party since we are waiting for her special guests to arrive on Saturday. We are all excited for her birthday. It's just quite weird that my daughter doesn't have any kiddo guests since most of her friends here are ladies and gents. 

I am actually planning to have a Barbie Theme birthday party for her since most of her party favors, decors and even her cake is Barbie themed. However, I'm still choosing another option which is the pink party theme since I can also buy inexpensive pink items that will match the theme for the A party with a pink theme should send guests home with pink party favors. A few inexpensive pink items that match the theme of the party will make each kid feel she is appreciated.

I still have one more day to go for her birthday so tomorrow I'm going to buy some jewelries and accessories like a pink crown, tiara and wand set. A pink beaded costume jewelry or pink beads is also a great choice for her party favors too.I'm also planning to buy some pink versions of classic kids favor toys like bouncing balls, sunglasses, stickers and more. I just find it cute imagining us her old guests wearing these super cutie pink party favors.

So Excited for my Sister's Holiday!

These two sexy ladies in white will be spending their holiday here in the Philippines this coming July 15. Woot! I can’t wait to see them because I will be their tour guide teehee! That’s my younger sister Xyza Mae (on the right) together with her friend Laura.

My sister already visited the Philippines a year ago together with my mom. But this time she will travel along with her friend who  will visit our country for the first time. But I think were gonna be having a language barrier here since they don’t speak English. My sister can speak and understand but not at all. They both speak Swiss-German language. Well, I think a little yes or no or a simple gesture or facial expression perhaps could help. LOL!

Well let's just see but I think were all gonna be enjoying ourselves while they are here. They will attend on my daughter's birthday and I will also take them to our local tourist attractions, the beaches, go shopping etc etc …I’m sure its gonna be fun! ^_^

A Posh Baby Giveaway for our Little Princess

I have finally decided to have a Princess Birthday party for my daughter's 4th birthday this coming July 12. My daughter really loves to look like a princess and I know this birthday theme is perfect for a royal cutie like her. Aside from preparing lots of stuffs for her birthday, I would like her to look fabulously beautiful specially if she wears this adorable Tutu dress and accessories.

I'm glad that Posh Baby Philippines is having a giveaway for Mommy bloggers where we mommies will get the chance to win our chosen Posh item from their products. My daughter deserves this ♥ Be my Valentine Tutu Shirt/Dress ♥ in pink color because I know it would look great on her. She's gonna be the "Apple of the Eye" on her birthday. I'm pretty sure she gonna love it cause she always admire looking at those Princess characters on her favorite Disney princesses on cartoons. It will surely be a dream come true for her as she wears her own fairy princess tutu.

So, if you also want to fulfill your little girls dream of becoming a ballerina or a princess, check out Posh Baby giveaway now!

Need a New Fashionable Eyeglasses

This is my one and only pink eyeglasses that Ive been wearing for almost 7 years. As you can see it already shows some signs of aging (LOL) I mean the wear and tear where the color of the frame has been removed already. My hubby accidentally stepped on it but thanked God the glass was still okay that's why I still able to wear it.

But I really need to buy a new pair since my optometrist told me that I do have a high eye grade and since I'm also wearing prescription contact lenses, I also need an eyeglasses with the same eye grade. As of now I'm looking for some fashionable eyeglasses that would fit my eye and my personality as well. I love pink so I still choose those pink framed eyeglasses. I love wearing eyeglasses like these both for medical purpose with a bit of trend for fashion and style.

Birthday Party Theme Ideas for My Daughter's Birthday

A week from now we will be celebrating my daughter's 4th birthday and as early as now I am already planning to have a birthday party for our one and only daughter. I wanted it to be extra special because she has a very special guest who came all the way from Switzerland just to join her birthday celebration. Her birthday was supposed to be on July 12 but my sister together with her friend will arrive on July 16 so we will just wait for them.

Now for her birthday party, I am still confused whether we will go for a party at home or to a different unique location. My sister loves to go the beach so if we choose to go there, I think we are going to have a Hawaiian Luau Party but I still need some party plan and ideas including luau party supplies and decorating ideas and unique party games.

My other option is to have a party at home where we are going to have a Princess Birthday party. My daughter loves to look like a princess and I know this birthday theme is perfect for a royal cutie like her. However, I also need some helpful ideas online for party games, creative crafts, and scrumptious party treats to make her fabulous birthday bash that my daughter will love.

Well, I actually like both of these awesome and cool birthday party themes. But I still have to look for my budget. I hope it will fit all the needs for my daughter's birthday soon. ^_^
