I’m A Big Fan of This Girl

This video features Nina while she sings Beyonce’s Irreplaceable. My gosh, I get goosebumps hearing her powerful voice once again. I like her so much! It’s been eons that I haven’t heard her on the airwaves. 

How I wish I could get an original album of Nina for Christmas.  Santa, if you happen to read this. Hope you’ll send it soon. OK? *fingers crossed*

Notice Nina’s face? She looks similar with my sister-in-law Daisy. How bout a word from Marthhh and Caity? Would you agree? 

Sightseeing by Train in Switzerland

Switzerland is one of those travel destinations on my list. I like traveling a lot but not for work; I like it especially to break the cycle of work. Travel to Switzerland would be different due to the high mountains and deep lakes.

Due to this contour, it would be best to explore Switzerland through sightseeing tours by train. There are many trains depending on the panorama that you would like to see. Jungfrau (Virgin) train is a cog wheeled train going to Jungfraujoch. The route is famous for it passes through two tunnels - through the solid mountains Eiger and Mönch - to get to its destination. On the way you’ll find yourself in an icy glacier world at 3000 meters at Eismeer station. Jungfrau is the third highest peak of the Berner Alps. Another famous train is the Glacier Express which is a swiss fast train. This Switzerland Scenic Train connects two world famous resorts — St. Moritz and Zermatt. You can enjoy the unspoiled nature, mountain forests, tranquil alpine pastures while traveling from the eastern to the western Swiss Alps. 

If you crave for more, you can take Bernina Express which connects Switzerland to Italy. Riding the trains is the best way to enjoy the landscape and the scenery of Switzerland.  Guaranteed to be a thrilling experience on this different kind of travel adventure.

The Copycat

My wild guess was right =) Dana Davis as Monica is indeed a COPYCAT in Heroes Season 2.  I have just finished watching Episode 5 in Youtube and it feels awesome! Do we have the same idea in mind? I think so.  

It’s nice to discover new cast of characters and knowing what powers do they have. It’s the same feeling when I get a chance to meet new friends and while communicating with them I get to know what they do and what their skills are.  They are Heroes to me. I’ll probably spend some time to get to know them better.

Explore Maui Island

Travelling is one of the joys that I have. The idea of experiencing a new environment, meeting new culture and get to taste new foods. Maui Island is one of the world’s best tourist destinations. Visit Maui’s great golf courses, award winning beaches, convenient shopping, famous restaurants and gorgeous ocean views. Watch for sea turtles, dolphins and whales to swim by as the golden Sun slowly sets into the Pacific Ocean. Those are few of the many reasons why it’s voted "Best Island in the World" for 12 straight years by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine.

Taking a vacation in such a lovely island should be enjoyed fully. A longer stay will let one visit the whole island and not miss anything around. During long stays it’s advisable to go for condo or house rentals; Maui vacation rentals as what they are commonly known offers an affordable stay with comfort. This is much cheaper compared to staying in a hotel for one (1) whole month. You can select condo units that are within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and parks, swimming pool, tennis courts and Gas BBQ grills. Renting a house or condo usually includes fully equipped kitchen. Some amenities include: Queen Bed in Bedroom, Sofa Sleeper in Living Room, Cable TV, DVD Player, Microwave, Washer/Dryer in Unit, Dishwasher, Toaster, Blender, Coffeemaker, Iron/Board, Linens, Towels, Dishes, Utensils, Ceiling Fans and Phone/Answering Machine w/ free local calls. If you are a net addict like me, you will also enjoy high-speed wireless internet access at some units.

An ideal way to enjoy vacation away from the pressures to rush things. Savor the natural beauty of the island at your own pace.

Getting Wired

Could mean alot of things. 

• Of getting hooked up in the internet.
• Of getting connected with online transactions on e-commerce or banks.
• Of getting taxed.
• Of getting things done.
• Of having braces =)
• Or having an enormous system of cables, wires and networks in this wired, wired world.

 I just thought of it as I checked my accounts on the net. I am able to save loads of time and effort with simply getting wired.

Gears for Paint Ball War Games?

Watching news on the net is what I do to have some break. There’s all kind of war around the globe and terrorist threats. Soldiers are normally seen on full military gears doing some check points and patrol on security risk areas. This has become a common site on the news.

My friends are into paint ball war games and at times I would like to experience the thrill too. So, I look for some military and police gears but they are not sold openly. I seldom see this stuff on malls but on the net one could buy those from LA Police Gear’s site.

They have a full line of 5.11 Tactical Series gears which is known to enhance safety, accuracy and performance. You can choose a variety of functionally innovative gear from head to toe and maybe feel like Lara Croft.

I am not a police or military personnel but its cool to have those gears for paint ball war games, for fashion and for fun.

Heroes Update

Had a hard time watching Heroes in Youtube last night.  I have several attempts opening Season 2, Episode 5, Part 1 to 6.  I'll be trying my luck tonight.  Hopefully I can get through the line.  I'm pretty excited for Maica's cousin who did that incredible stunts last Episode 4.  A complete copycat in the making. 

Call a Loved One this Holiday

Living away from home is not easy. Since we are a close knit family; keeping in touch with our loved ones is a need. We feel home sick if we could not hear their voice. Some people call only during holidays or special occasions but some also do call even on ordinary days. I think one of the biggest chunks of the cost especially when you are not used to being away from a loved one is telephone call cost.

I have friends that just arrived and they keep on calling back home. This is a normal and common case. They don’t really mind the cost but it’s a pity that they spend so much for a call. People often use to buy phone cards from the local shops. Another way is to buy it from internet stores like PhoneCardsAvenue.com where they could get some 3% rebate for every card purchase. You’re not limited to one phone card but can have a selection of wide variety of them depending on your choice.

Don’t limit your choice; have the best value for money calls. Calling home this holiday should not be expensive; it should be one of life’s simple pleasures.

It’s a wonderful Friday

I would like to start early today. The weather is very nice; I could feel the cool breeze of the morning. The sun has just started to rise up and I can hear the lovely songs of the birds and animals. I gaze outside the window and see all the green trees and the open field.

I am very thankful to God for this very wonderful day; blessed to be in this peaceful and calm environment every day. I am far from the pressures and pollution of the City. I consider this remarkable gift from God as one of my life’s simple pleasures.
