Growing up, I remember that my grand-grand father is always holding his big Cigar in the terrace. I think the one he is using is the one made by him. I did a little research on the difference about Cigars and cigarettes. First the obvious reason is the size, cigar are bigger than the cigarettes. They also said that cigar is primarily composed of only one blend of leaves, while cigarettes contain more than one blend. And since Cigars are bigger, person using it can consume one stick in one to two hours, while the cigarettes, person can finish smoking it in ten minutes.

They said that the harmful effects on human body are more in cigar than the cigarette. They said that because cigar smokers experienced high rates of lung cancer. Hmmn, I am not sure about this one. I think cigarette can cause more damage than the cigar.

My officemate told me about this Cigar store where she order stuff for her parents. I do not know anyone in my family now that is big fan of using cigar. I found the website very interesting because of the variety of cigar they have for sale. I found the packaging very fancy too. No wonder my officemate buys this and give out to her family. If food has gourmet type then cigars that I found on that site is all gourmet type!

The store have cigar package that will fit in your budget. They have fine Cigars and premium cigars. You can also buy in wholesale. In addition, if you have family that really loves cigars, you can sign up on the monthly club for as low as $29.95. Or you can also give gift card to those that are picky and you’re not sure on what they want.

I am still dreaming the laptop that has fingerprint reader. I like the idea that no other people can get access on my files unless they swipe their finger :) But because of the budget constraints I have to postponed buying one. The other day I opened the idea to husband having our main door change to a keyless lock. He laughed at me. He’s not sure that keyless lock idea is possible.

So I challenged him that there is way to do it in our home. I found Axxisbiometics.com fulfilled my idea of our keyless home ;) It’s not expensive at all to convert it this way. I like the idea of not holding any keys at all when we’re going out. If we can do this in our house, I think I can go out now without anything with me, makes jogging or strolling at the park easier.

I hope that husband will consider my idea of having our main door with keyless lock . By the way, this is the one I think practical to install in our door.

With this economy being so bad, you really do not know what investment will give you good return. One thing I am sure people are mostly shopping in a dollar store.. this is one of the way that will enable people to save extra money on their pocket. Eating outside and drive-thru fast food are the things that need to be cut off to save money for us. My sister is asking me if venturing to a dollar store franchise can bring good return of investment. Costing a dollar to franchise a store is no bad at all! ;) But of course it needs dedication to manage and also studying the marketing plan before diving to it.

The more I think about weight loss the more I get depressed. It’s almost end of January and still no progress on how I will lose my weight. I’m thinking that my son will be 4 months soon and that means I can do some exercise now to help me get rid of the fat. I really have to layout plans of workouts and food that I will eat. I need to lose weight by June. And as much as possible I don’t want to get help of Lipovox. I want to do it naturally!

I need to send Get Well Gifts to one of our big boss here at work. He got hit on Christmas eve and the driver ran away. It was really sad, but good thing bystanders were able to call 911 immediately. Up to now he still not that good. I think the doctor needs to do surgery on his knees. I hope he will get better soon!

Anyway, I really like this website that I found to order special gift baskets. They have various items that can complete unique gift baskets for different occasions or reasons like baby shower, sympathy, thank you, and more!

Right now you can avail of Free UPS Ground Shipping if you use the coupon code “FreeShip”. I might order stuff for my sister’s upcoming baby too ;) Also check these baskets I found: Childrens Gifts and Book Gift Baskets. I like all of their collection!

DSC_0665 This is Lianne outfit when we went to San Francisco last New Year. She’s growing and I can say it with all the clothes that I have to buy for her. She’s gaining weight a lot lately and I’m scared that she will need diet pill in her later life. I hope not. Her daddy said that this photo is really nice cause she really looks like a big girl except for the bottle. lol At four and half she still in-love with her bottle.

I want to get new office furniture for our family room. We have old computer table there and it’s huge for the real purpose and the computer chair that needs to replace too.. If only we have enough budget to buy these things now. I have to wait a while until money comes in to start shopping again. So for now all I can do is shop around till I drop looking at it.. lol I’ll post stuff that I want when I come back.

We are finally done organizing Lianne’s room. Few things I need to buy, like the area rugs, beddings for kids and change her computer monitor then its fine. This is how it looks now.

I just throw all her stuff in this bin.
