Choosing lingerie for my teenage sistersLast Friday my co-teacher lend to me a brochure about lingerie for teenagers because I’m looking for pieces of lingerie that are pretty and attractive but most likely not overtly sexy for my teenage sisters. Time flies so fast. It seems that it’s only yesterday that I shopped for their baby dresses,diapers and milk but now I’m shopping for their lingerie. I already have 6 teenager sisters and I love to shop lingerie for them. It is always going to be better to choose teenage lingerie that is going to be in keeping with the wearer. I don’t need to compromise style for support and vice versa. Lingerie for teenagers will be more of a supportive form of lingerie, both physically and psychologically, that will make the teenager feel good about themselves but without being too sexy. I’ve been there. I just wish they’ll like what I choose for them.
Things to Consider when Buying a MattressIn order to get the best deal in buying a mattress, here are a number of things that you should consider: warranty, price, size, coil, firmness, side support, ticking, and brand. Selecting the right mattress needs some careful attention. If you want to have the best in terms of quality and price, then scrutinize before making the purchase. Below are important things that you should consider: Warranty When you buy a mattress, make sure it has a ten year warranty. Also, ask regarding proration. It means the percentage, basing from the original cost of the mattress, that the manufacturer should pay you for any defects that may have occurred. It is important to note that a warranty claim will not be honored should the mattress be found with stains on it. It is advisable to buy a cover that is waterproof to protect it from any stain. Price Prices of mattresses are definitely negotiable. Although, not all. But, most of the leading brands are willing to negotiate with their price. It is just a matter of learning how to use your bargaining skill with a salesman. And, if a discount isn’t possible, then maybe you can ask for free pillows or sheets perhaps, that can go along with the purchase of the mattress. Size Consider the user’s height in picking a mattress. If you are about 6 feet tall, then choose a king size bed. If you and your partner are under 6 feet tall, a queen size bed will do. Coil Coil count is a very essential factor in choosing for a mattress. The higher the count becomes, the better the quality of your mattress. A standard mattress should have about a count of 300. A queen size should have 375 coil count. And, a king size mattress should have 450 coil count. Firmness Choose a mattress that is neither too soft nor too firm. A very firm one isn’t very good for you since it might cause your spine to bend forcefully. Side support The edges of a mattress is as important as the middle portion. Check whether the sides can provide you with maximum support too. Ticking Ticking, which is the fabric used to upholster and cover your mattress, should be made of damask. And, not of polyester or vinyl since any of these materials can make you feel really uncomfortable during a warm weather. Brand It pays to choose the leading brands when purchasing a mattress. It may be a little expensive compared to other brands, but, it’s worth your money anyway. Oftentimes, a manufacturer of cheap mattresses would cut corners in making them so as to offer attractive low prices. There are several types of mattresses to choose from, yet, many would go for a futon mattress particularly a western futon. This is because it is inexpensive. And, this type of mattress is relatively firm making it a good choice to sleep on.
The rain is spoiling my dayYesterday was really a bad day for me. I was so excited to rehearse for our tambourine dancing but the weather is against me…*sigh*…Hubby’s doing very important and no one could look for Hyzyd. I don’t have a choice but to skip the rehearsal. Anyway, I tried my best to accomplish something for the day. I get done with the laundry. I folded our clothes, clean the kitchen as well as the living room. We take outside stuffs that we don’t need. Now the living room and kitchen isn’t crowded anymore. Hyzyd missed playing outside. He could run wherever he wants unlike the place we used to live. It’s just few steps away from the corner of the road. Hyzyd and I couldn’t freely walked around in that neighborhood because of the constant passing of motorbikes , cars and other vehicles. Good thing that there’s convex mirror installed in every corner to enable the drivers (as well as for us “walkers”) greater visibility to see around the corners. Being able to see these areas helps us prevent accidents. It’s still raining today and I don’t know if Hyzyd and I could go with my hubby rafting with our churchmates tomorrow..*sad*…
Wish list of mineI kept a small notebook with all my wishes- my hopes, my desire, items that I want and needs. It’s not a typical wish list where you will compile a list of items you desire and then distribute copies of this list to family and friends that are likely to purchase gifts for you. It’s simply a list of my wishes. It doesn’t matter if they’ll come to pass or not. I just list them so that if ever I have extra in my budget, I could purchase some of them. So far, I’ve bought most of them and it inspires me to SAVE more from my own monthly allowance. For this year here’s what’s in my wish list: 1. bought 3 air tickets both domestic (Hatyai-Bangkok) and international (Bangkok-Butuan) by October Well, this is just a wish list…How I wish I could have them all if not this year, maybe in the years to come.

Girls Talk: Mentally Speaking…
My friends used to say that they envy me coz I’m Ms. Beauty and Brain. I don’t disagree with them :haha: but it helps me evaluate myself if what they say is true. About beauty, I believe that everyone has it’s own definition of beauty. Anyway, let’s focus on my “BRAIN” I’m a studious-type of student so it helps a lot why I excel academically. I loved doing my own thing. I enjoy puzzles and games. Anything that stretches my mind interests me. I’m a quiet person-often lost in my own thoughts but I’m not nerd. Though I avidly pursues intellectual activities and scientific endeavours, I still know how to engage in social and conventional activities. I enjoyed competing impromptu speech, Quiz Bee, spelling contest, declamation and Parliamentary Procedure Contest . In elementary I graduated first honors in our class and was awarded the “Excellence Award” for garnering the highest score in National Elementary Assessment Test (NEAT) in the province. In high school, I was the Valedictorian but I didn’t enjoy the scholarships offered to me by UP Diliman, MSU-Marawi and DOST for a reason :cry2: . I was stucked in our province to finish my college degree. I graduated with the highest scholastic ratings but the college didn’t award me “Magna Cum Laude” though my ratings qualified for that because I have one 2.25 (80-84%)rating :wth: . In our college all grades should be 2.00 as the lowest rating to be awarded with those Latin honors :grrr: . Some says, I should have fight for my right because the professor admitted her mistakes. It should be 2.00 because she knew that I’m a scholar I deserve much better grade. She told me she’ll settle my grade when I represented the college and CARAGA Region for the 20th Super Quiz Bee Bowl at Subic Bay, Philippines. After the contest I was told that she couldn’t changed my grades because it’s already passed to CHED office and other blahs :question2: . Anyway, I’m happy that I graduated with flying colors :rainbow: :yay: . I didn’t regret never having those latin honors. At least people will not expect much from me. I believe that in everything God has a purpose and that incident made me more humble before God and my fellowmen. It was also during my college days that I was forced into joining pageant to represent our department. It was because of my wise thoughts and witty remarks during the Q and A portion that I gained the favor from the judges and crowned me as the “Miss Campus” :strawberry: . Do you know that I have so much fun thinking, dreaming, and planning. I hardly have time for friends but I’m so grateful with blogging because it’s not impossible to make friends in just a click :thumbsup: . an entry for:
on starting my own businessOur topic yesterday at Girl’s Talk about how we love ourselves financially motivates me to start a “sideline” job where I could earn extra for family savings. I talked with my mom before about the possibility of opening a second-hand shop or gowns for rent in our city. I could shop in here trendy and fashionable clothes in flea market and we could sell them there in Philippines or else we’ll venture on selling jewelry. I’m still looking for a reliable wholesale jewelry supplier for silver here in Thailand. I’ve heard from a friend that I could buy silver jewelries as wholesale at Nakhon Si Thammarat-the popular haven for silver jewelries and I would surely enjoy a very low rate. Even if I’ll have only a capital of 30K baht to start this business, it will surely flourish. As a retailer I will make a profit when I mark up the items for retail sale. The mark-up on jewelry is usually quite high–over 200 percent in most cases–so if I want to buy it at wholesale prices, I can reap the benefits of low prices and sell the remainder a bit above my cost plus and still make money. I better start praying and saving for this business venture I’ve been dreaming of.
Flatter tummy with red wine
We used to drink softdrinks especially Coke after lunch and dinner. Recently, we’ve changed to red wine since we’ve seen in Fox News that people who have one drink of red wine a day are less prone to metabolic syndrome (which causes women to put weight on their tummies) than those who don’t. A glass of high-quality red wine per day is great for overall health, and it does help with stress relief, which automatically brings you a healthier middle. Cortison – the stress hormone – makes your body store fat exactly there. Do I need to mention that when we’re stressed, we pig out on bad food? A glass of wine and a warm cooked meal for dinner will be better than “dinner cancelling” and then a bag of cookies at 1 a.m…If you are afraid of drinking so much wine, drink tea. But make it a sinful ritual It’s one of the best news I’ve ever heard. Red wine for a flatter tummy sounds good to me. So there’s no need to take apidexin- a powerful fat burner that uses 8 cutting edge diet and weight loss ingredients for red wine is enough to burn fats. What do you think :question:
no more sit-ups!
Hubby advised me to do sit-ups in the morning everytime I complain to him how big my belly is. I’ve tried doing sit-ups but I’m not consistent with it because it’s so tiresome for me. I’ve read before that Britney Spears used to do 1000 sit-ups a day to keep her tummy flat! Is it true :question: I can only do as much as 10 :dazed2: only. But hey, here’s a new research that says that we can stop doing sit-ups for they don’t work as well as exercises carried on a stability ball, which work your tummy muscles harder. I’ve seen stability balls in Sports World (popular sport shop here in Thailand). I wonder how much each ball cost :question2: . I would love to try to do exercises using the stability ball. It’s much easier than doing sit-ups! I won’t be forced to do 1000 sit-ups a day just to have a flatter tummy. I would rather take diet pills if that would be the case :haha:. As for the moment, stability ball is already added in my wish list.
