I was thinking lately that Alex's love for dancing and music must have gotten from me. Oh yes, I love to dance (but cannot sing) and listen to different kinds of music. I just love the feeling of being able to "escape" from reality and feel the rhythm and message of the song. And then when I found out about this music cruise of Blues Cruise, I was ecstatic! Hubby and I were originally planning to have a cruise for our honeymoon but due to time constraints, we just went to the beach and spend one week there. But the music cruise is just amazing! I just can imagine being in that cruise and being able to listen to jazz and rhythm & blues. Haaay, sounds like really, really fun. I better convince Hubby to save right now and convince him that we check it out sometime next year. Wish me luck my friends! ;)
To all the DADS out there, my Hubby (Alex's Dada), my Dad, my father-in-law, and to all my friends who are great fathers:
HOPE YOU HAD A BLAST!
I was thinking lately that Alex is growing up fast and I was thinking of buying an insurance. I know, i know, it doesn't connect to anything but I just felt like I need to be protected and Hubby and Alex too! As I was browsing through globe life insurance a couple of days ago, I just couldn't believe it! It's only a dollar for adult or children and you get to be protected! Yes, it's true and they only have 3 steps to do it: 1 - No Medical exam and just few Yes/No health questions. 2 - No waiting period and full coverage on the first day! 3 - And you can buy direct by calling them and they guaranteed that no agent will call you. What's good about Globe life is they've been in the business since 1951. Hmmm...I better talk to Hubby later and convince him about this. :)
We are planning to go to DisneyWorld Orlando when Alex turns 3 or 4. Although I've been there already when I was still single, and so is Hubby. But, it's just a lot different if Alex is with us. After all, DisneyWorld is for kids right? :) When we get there, we wanted to stay in a very nice, clean and cozy place. And I'm pretty sure that Disney vacation home of VillaDirect would be it. It's a lot cheaper than hotel suites and kid-friendly too. Over 70% of vacation homes are within 3 miles of Mickey, Minnie and their friends - and each of these Disney area homes is perfectly located to make sure that we can enjoy more of the fun that the theme parks and attractions have to offer - by getting there quicker! Oh, sounds like my dream vacation. I should probably plan my itinerary now!
Have you ever been in that moment were pens like parkers and cross were such a fad that you want these engraved? Yeah, I love it! But most of my pens were a gift from friends and relatives because I couldn't affort it at that time. While browsing to the internet I came across pensrus that do imprinted pens. They can actually imprint company logos, names, and any other design that you can think of for your pens. And they have the Expressions Collection which is new for 2007 which composed of a group of fresh styles and colors, with a flair for the edgy. And the nice thing about this is that any pens can be used! So, you can even order for your kids' pens! There are three ways to order. One is fax your order by downloading the form through their website, second is through mail by also downloading the form through their website, and by calling them at 1-800-PENSRUS.
I've realized that I haven't given you update about Alex for quite sometime now. Thanks to Joy for reminding me about it. ;)
Alex has been very busy watching Barney these days. She got a "dino dance" from Barney and she just looks so cute! So, how can I resist and not let her watch TV? So, what I'd do is let her watch once in the morning and once in the afternoon. If backyardigans were shown on TV at Nick Jr. I would let her watch too.
This is how she looks like while watching Barney or Backyardigans...
Oh yeah, she can't just sit there and watch, she has to dance too! :)
This is my favorite picture of my Alex taken by her Dada while they were playing.

My thesis during my graduate school was about B2B system of a food and beverage system. During that time (well, it was just last year), payment was an issue since the system was built mainly for products that were for export. Clients may not be able to pay etc, since they were like a thousand miles away from the company. So, electronic checks came in handy. But, how are they going to manage all the electronic checks that they issue or release? Then, came the electronic check processing of CheckVantage. They provide an innovative electronic check processing solution for online and offline merchants, B2B companies, or for any business that takes or sends checks. They would cater payments in credit cards, phone payments, accounts receivables, point of purchases, internet checks, and a lot more. If you a have business that handles electronic checks, then, go for CheckVantage! They have free demo too, just call 877-253-2501 for details.
When I was in highschool, my only dream was to have my own business cards. I was wondering before how would it feel like to have my name in a business card and I would give it out to people. :) I would ask my friends to make one for me and I would really get excited for it! But of course, now that I'm a professional, I would need a business card that would make a statement. A business card that look nice and yet very professional. And then I came across GreatFX business cards. What they actually do in their website is that they allow you to design your own. Although they have also custom designs to choose from but it's also good to be able to create it with your own style. After the design part, they would print it out for you at a reasonable price - $28.00 for 250. And is delivered right at your doorstep in 3 days! Neat huh? If you want one, go check out their website now!
