Credit offers here, credit cards there, you will see many credit card booths in malls. Agents are hopping from one office to another to find interested clients while others are calling all offices listed in the directory to offer credit cards to the employees of the company they are calling. Well, credit card now seems a necessity. Anybody of right age can have credit card provided that he/she has a proof of income. Anyhow, in some countries, credit card agencies are now going online so applicants just apply for a credit card online. In online my search for any Low Interest Credit Card, I have found Credit-Land.com with a very informative set-up. They just don’t offer credit cards but they also offer the clients the best choices for a credit card depending on the client’s purpose for getting one. Be it for balance transfer, everyday purchases, bad credit, or for applicant just to have an idea what is the best credit card based on users’ votes. This means, not all credit cards are the same in terms of interest rates and other services. Hence, an applicant will assess first what he/she needs before applying for a credit card online. However, with Credit-Land.com, applicants will be given assistance based on their preference. Anyway, I guess will go for a Master Card good for everyday purchases. It’ll be useful for our weekly grocery shopping.

This is to announce the birth of my baby.LOL. It’s not my baby’s birth. Guess this is perfect for my best friend Lan-Lan’s coming baby a few months from now and to all mommy bloggers I know who’s on the way. It’s really cute that I browsed through all the the sample photo birth announcements one by one. Guess what’s in my mind? I was hoping that I will be doing the birth announcement soon. Huh…I’m quite pressured ’coz all my friends and relatives are asking if I’m already on the way. Well, who knows? I might be conceiving soon so that I could make use of the photo birth announcements by Doodlebug Dezigns. BTW, Doodlebug Dezigns sells unique custom announcement for all occassions. Isn’t it cute? Just have a try.

I am a fan of anything personalized and DIY (Do It Yourself) projects that’s why our wedding invitation is a personalized DIY one. We just bought the materials including the stationary, and assembled it on our own. Hence, we saved a lot rather than getting the invitation from a print shop that usually costs $2 for a non-personalized one. A personalized invitation would usually cost more than $3.5 each and that’s a big amount to spend just for the invites. Aside from the personalized wedding favors, couple can cut costs on invitations by going DIY. Anyway, here’s our DIY personalized wedding invitation. We just had a hard time looking for the right stationary.

Had I known about Cadeauonline.com, an online supplier of personalized stationary, it would have been easier for us and saved us from time and effort for the numerous trips we made to different print shops and bookstores just to look for the right stationary for our invitation. The truth is, we spent 3 or 4 Saturday afternoons hopping from one print shop to another. Even the bookstores, we have gone to all of them. 

Anyway, since it’s done, I should then remember the site’s address for future needs of personalized stationary. Actually, I like these but I still don’t know where I could use it. Maybe the light pink can be used for a baby girl’s birthday.

Who wouldn’t love to have a cruise vacation experience? I, for sure would love to (of course with hubby) as long as all expense paid!LOL. Hope somebody will give us that opportunity. It must a be great experience that anybody would want provided we have all the $$$ to spend for it. However, cruise vacation can be a good once in a lifetime experience so why won’t anybody grab that opportunity especially if rates are discounted and with one of the best liners with exceptional services and amenities? So start saving for this great once in a lifetime experience

My cousin used to work in a cruise ship for many years and the pictures he sends home gave me an idea what a cruise ship looks like at my early age. He used to tell us how big the ship is, complete with all the amenities of a hotel. Anyway, for cruise vacation plans, check Cruisevacationcenters.com. The site offers a lot of cruise vacation destinations such as Alaska Cruises and European Cruises but I would love the Hawaii cruises (in my dreams!). Most ships are so huge (larger than Titanic I guess) that it measures a more than twice the football field and as high as the statue of liberty. I bet, that’s really a 5-star hotel in the middle of the ocean. Oh well, how can I forget the fun-filled Carnival Cruises. So, don’t just dream of having a good vacation, dream big.

Since Carol and her family left for Trento last Friday, the atmosphere has never been the same. Silence is so deafening. During daytime I was left here with my youngest sister but we are busy with our own world. Only the TV makes the house alive for if I turn it off, you cannot hear anything but the noise coming from the neighbors. It’s been 2 months that Ella was here and she made the house so alive by her giggles, her rants, her “adult wisdom”, etc. Every night, she would wait for my PILs and Tito Ace to come home and happily call out ”Lolo, Lola, Tito Ace” as each of them come in. It’s really different having a kid in the house. Toys may be everywhere and other things may be missing because she played with them, but the happiness it brings to have such a smart and adorable kid in the house is priceless. Now, I miss Ella calling me “Tita” everytime she wants to tell me or asks something. Even Ace missed Ella a lot that he said they (Carol & Donald) should have left Ella here.
