TO CRAVE FOR

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Art.com. All opinions are 100% mine. I am so into photography these days...and I honestly consider making use of such talent for the coming gift-givings during the holiday season that is just a few weeks away. But I can't very well just give them an ordinary photo print out. I want it different. Great different. Something I myself would want to receive.And luckily, I have...

A very promising author Dan Brown has yet again released another wonderfully written book...The Lost Symbol. His 5th most awaited book of his followers, which includes me. Actually have not yet read it BUT WILL SOON have my hands on it since the prices have already gone down (hahaha!)After his Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, main character Robert Langdon once again is starring in this latest Dan Brown book. I have enjoyed the intriguing...

One of my biggest cravings...go to a party. And not just any party, I want a masquerade party where you wear costumes or masks. It has always been one of my fantasies since childhood, to be in one with my friends and wear something really different.I've seen them in movies but never got the chance to be in one...YET! And I plan to at least once in my life time. One time I've been browsing through and have seen varying kinds of Awesome Halloween Costumes Ideas. I guess this is one occasion that people have such opportunity...

I love people! It always makes me wonder why, but it interests me on how we all differ, in our differences in attitudes, in preferences, in our EVERYTHING. Sometimes I tend to just sit around and observe, and be happy for how each one of us were molded. That we have different exposures to life, and that we were borne to varying circumstance...but together we jive to live in one world.Therefor, I truly enjoy meeting new friends. And I believe that dating is one of the ways to do that. This is when you get to be with another...

I've seen this movie before and though it is a cartoon, animated...it touched my heart. It's cute positively affecting. The story is of the dinosaur. It focused on friendship, parents, love for life and needing to belong. I find it to be next to reality with all the obstacles the friends met along the way and how they felt and dealt with them.Right now hoping to have a copy of it again to show othe...

Hello fellow readers. If you are a student you would agree that a well known fact about writing term papers and essays is that it requires time and effort. It also requires a lot of reading as well as knowledge of proper referencing styles. A lesser known fact is that most students opt to order custom term papers from well known term papers writing service providers. These service providers can write persuasive essays to customized term papers for all those who seek help.A common misconception is that these students are cheating...

Since I am planning to start my own food business...I've been looking for cheap chafing dishes. I was surprised to see that they are being sold even at a higher cost in buy and sell sites like sulit.com. Therefore I went window shopping in a nearby mall and saw some P1200's...half the price those people selling their used ones. Maybe they thought to mislead you into believing that you're getting a good deal since they've been placing there the price they bought it as brand new and selling half the price cheaper (or how much...

It's not just any Katsudon that I want, but this Japanese Restaurant I love called Komoro-Soba. It's different when I take it from the other known Japanese restaurant here in the country...and today I just want the very Katsudon that I used to eat almost weekly until it closed down in Glorietta. Not sure why. Have you ever tried it?...

I have a real big problem here...i lost my shoutbox which i treasure since those messages were love notes form dear friends. And I can't remember the username or password i used to put it up since i was long gone=(...and now i'm back.Bear with me friends as I try and retrieve it. I already left a message to the HELP guys there for assistance. I hope you can still leave me messages here through comments temporari...

Have you heard of the "text capital of the world"? That is none other than the Philippines! Yes, it is obvious when your feet landed in our country and notice the people around you...texting! And believe it or not, I know no one who does not have a phone to send messages with . WE SIMPLY LOVE TEXTING EACH OTHER. And a mobile phone is simply a necessity for us. That, I believe, is next to cash we won't leave the house without.Thus, to Get Text Deals is something that definitely can get ones attention. Not just to us Filipino's...

I have been craving for this mango crepe for 3 whole days now. How I have loved the French Baker mango crepe but opts to have one that is topped with icecream as well.sluuuuurrrrrrrrpppp!I really, really have to have one this coming weekday! Wish I can have the time to finally do ...

It's been a couple of years already since I last enjoyed the spa. It will be so much fun to have the whole day or more to myself (or with a buddy) to detoxify. And I've always loved the wet sauna than dry sauna. I feel the moisture opening up my pores, and after which have a wonderful body and facial scrub to rid of impurities. Or have the soothing massage that always makes me lose the whole week stress through kneading of my stiff muscles.Steam sauna...here I come. Have you ever tried such pampering? What can you say about...

How I would love to have a Sony notebook to carry on with me though not needing to bring an overly sized bag!When I go lazying around on a sunday afternoon along the mall, I sometimes sit for hours sipping my Seattles Best coffee just easing out of the daily routine. How nice it would be to be able to browse through anytime I'd like to.And for me, it's Sony Notebook. Y...

One of the many businesses that booms and have once passed my interest is putting up a Bakery! After all BREAD is a staple, secondary if not primary, in all homes. Definitely, a staple in ours!But it’s not so easy baking for more than your own consumption, unless you have the means to do that. And the best I have seen so far that comes really handy with all the different kinds of bread I’d love to make, is this Zojirushi BBCCX20 Home...

How nice would it be to have a full body massage when you're all stiff from sitting in front of your PC for 8 long hours?! For me, that's heavenly. If only I can....Because it will take me hours to go to the nearest spa that will suit my preference of a swedish-shiatsu combination massage. Not just for the travel time but also with the preparation. And honestly, at times I get rooted on the spot when I start surfing the net.Glad there are these wonderful creations that can somehow comes next to the "real" massage. I've seen...

Yes, we have a 27-inch TV but I will gladly exchange it with a 22 inch lcd tv simply because IT'S SO, SO MUCH BETTER to have an LCD type. Not only does it have super CLEAR picture but also of the lesser electricity consumption.Right now, what I do is to stay here on my PC than turn on our TV. I even watch my movies here. But then, desktop PC's are obviously on top of desks...and how comfortable can you be if you can watch your movie in the comfort of your couch?!Oooh I can't wait to have one real soon. Another craving I have...

I was out window shopping just so I can extend myself being in an air-conditioned room and not conserve way too much electricity at home and freak out with the bill come due date when I suddenly have this urge to look for a real nice flip flops.I have a lot of them but not such with heels. I love the way it makes me a little taller than my petite height plus the way my feet looks, sexier! And I tell you, it is "IN". I saw every shop...

It has been weeks that I have been feeling sticky and sweaty whenever I'm not in an air-conditioned room. The humidity also is extremely irritating with almost no breeze.Yesterday, May 26, I have heard that it has been the hottest recorded...the reason probably why I can't bear to stay still. I had to run back inside the room after fetching cool glasses of water, juices and icee drinks. I can't help but crave to literally fly to a snowy mountain!How wonderful it would be to wear layers of clothing for a change. Honestly,...

SUMMER is almost over, it being June in a few more weeks. And the moment month of June comes in...with it are the rainstorms that frequents the country. Thus comes to mind, dear friend Sendo that I can say have really MADE THE MOST OF SUMMER with all his fun-filled outings.Just as suddenly, I felt like needing to spend as much time outside when the last few weeks I try not to with the heat and all. Beaches after beaches flashed through...

First I've heard of this magnificent creation, I'd like to have my hands on it. Though I actually have not seen it yet then, since it's just on a pocketbook I've read almost a decade ago already,I know it's a beauty.How can you not want to have one yourself when it's as handy as it is to organize everything you need instead of pens and papers to carry along?! And being a constant roamer in the blogosphere, I simply have to have one. Likewise, am always at different social networks. A mobile and a more means to surf the net...

I already have a wedding ring in mind for the past decade. What do not have is a wedding to have it worn to me by my prince charming.This has actually been brought to mind 2 days ago when my dear friend Mimi discussed with me her wedding preparations. It's not really easy to get shackled haha. It's truly costly and stressful. BUT then, this is every woman's dream. And that includes the gown you will be wearing and the ring that will...

Now I also am in this mood for romantic movies...but not the modern day ones, but classic. And as always, it's one of my favorites SOMEWHERE IN TIME. Jane Symore and Christopher Reeve tandem that is refreshingly romantic (and clean, not vulgar like how it is these days).Yes, it is nice to see how it was in the old days. How simple and sweet, and innocent. Do you also have such longings like me to experience life centuries ago at ti...

During my blogosphere rounds, I have seen differing food...and one thing caught my pituitary glad...and it's calamari. And the moment such comes to mind, tempura goes with it. Now I am hoping I marketed for shrimps and squids instead just to satisfy this intense craving. Maybe this weekend then.I am for Italian cuisine, but so with Japanese...and of course Filipino. Darn, I think my taste buds looks for European as well these days....

The very famous quote "Time is Gold" means a lot to me today than ever. Since I am right now wishing for even just a day being a kid again. ...when my deepest concern is what game to play today, whether to eat this food laid down before me or feel my mom's wrath, how to keep my eyes open to finish this video game without my dad saying I am sleepy already, how to keep still pretending sleep as my mom wipes me clean and it's tickling me but i really am so tired to wash in the bathroom;...when i can eat all the fatty food I can...

Not vanity but fashion, I tell you! Just last week I was able to grab an P800 worth bag for 70% lesser price…yippee! Thanks to this 3day sale I was able to push myself amongst throes of people to. And now, I am hoping to have a matching red shoe to complete the attire. But this is how I am with shoes, I just got to see in every store I can go into which shoe I want and is worth the price before finally settling down to the BEST AMONG THE REST. I know, I know…you wouldn’t want to be with me during shopping. Well, actually,...

Or maybe it's just in my head...I am like this for 2 days now. I think it's an inner hope of being the one to be having my photo's taken as I prepare for "The" day...as I walk down the aisle...as I share a toast for me and my groom. Can't blame me, I'M A WOMAN! Every woman I know craves to see the day they wear their dream wedding gown, partake their wedding cake and have that dance with prince charming. I guess I can say that I really am a dreamer, haha.This actually came about when I browsed through my friends Multiply...

Actually been thinking to come up with a badge...but I just can't think of a catchy but defining one. I have been neglecting on it when this good friend in the blogosphere Kayce left a message about it. "On with it Kayce... Promise to have one within the week. Thanks for the reminder."I would love it if you would suggest for me to settle on one... When you hear of TO CRAVE FOR or my blog in itself, what comes to mind?would love your comment friends ;) than...

It’s been a few months that I started seeing photography as something I would enjoy doing. But it would be nice to have a camera of my own. Yes, my sister assures that the camera she bought is for everybody’s use, but still…I drool over this Nikon D90 KIT AF-S DX VR 18-105 that I saw at www.happybidders.com. Imagine bidding for it at a price comfortable to you and in no time in your hands will be your most desired Canon!I have heard...

FINALLY!!! After weeks of intense heat I can finally have coffee, it being a rainy day.And just as timely, a very dear new friend kiki of Life included me in her friends list to be shared with a cup of steaming hot coffee. I can almost smell it from here haha.I simply love having a cup or two daily, not until it got so hot that I decided to altogether do without it. Temporarily shifted to Ice cold chocolate drink for a time...but now,...

It has been two long weeks since I finished my most recent read, Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho. I actually have just tried reading any from his, a second actually, and I still feel like going back to my favorites. He's good but maybe we're just not too much for each other, haha. He's too much of a realist for me.Now I'm craving to have another book, a fairy tale romance if possible. Maybe this need came about after watching Cinderella...

I used to have routine exercise. At one time I did aerobics and another I did swimming. And all those times I don't have these flabs that I see (well, others kept telling me they don't see them...but I do!) It's not just vanity actually but good health as well. Everybody knows that exercise helps in metabolism at the same time getting as far away from heart diseases. As of the moment, I am thinking of going with my swimming routine before, it being summer. I'm not an athlete or something but I do know strokes to be classified...

Being in the tropics, we do not have 4 seasons like the other countries. It's just SUMMER TIME and RAINY SEASON. Yes, there are advantages and disadvantages......but right now, I just wish we also have SPRING here. I love seeing those photos of different flowers and blooms (since I have not gone out of the country yet to personally see them), sights to behold and the stories from friends and relatives of the "just right" temperature....

The truth is...it's been a week now that I'm craving for this Red Ribbon Mango cake!!!SLURP!I actually am trying to be on a diet in preparationfor the december wedding of my best buddyBUT IM NOT SURE I CAN RESIST IT ANY LONGERI have to have one...later I wi...

I have read posts about this MOVERS that's being help by certain professionals, and I believe there is none yet here in the Philippines. Or maybe I have not seen one?It's always a family helping each other with the packing and the moving. They just hire a container van or truck to carry everything from one place to another, just as we did 3 times already in my whole 30+ years (don't ask anymore of the PLUS, hehe).And so with this come...

Nope, not on the road...but here in my blog! Who does not?!Of course I'm just starting on with this blog but from other blogs I see around, I wish to have as many visitors and commentor's as theirs. Not just for the ranking but for the feeling of acceptance in the blogosphere. I'm happy to see that my followers are building up, THANKS TO YOU GUYS. And it never fails to brighten up my day to see new droppers in my chatbox, especially those asking for link exchange (nice to be on the other side of the road at times, right?)...

During my elementary and secondary school days, I still have my childhood asthma resulting to frequent absence from school. I try to catch up by borrowing school mates notes and asking for special exams and projects...but I believe that wasn't enough because I didn't get high grades. Now I hear of tutorings online and I wish it was offered even before when I badly needed it. For sure, I would have gotten straight A's though I'm not in school half the time.Luckily, college days I was able to out grow asthma. I got beeter...

I guess everyone delights in the idea of saving. It always comes as a challenge for me each time I have a certain something I really hope to buy and would save for it in every possible way I can. One time, I found myself being hypnotized by this spectacular looking watch and I itch to see it in my wrist. The thing is, it's not an ordinary watch that you can get anytime you want...but something that needs a lot of time to decide about buying or not and to be on a tighter budget to afford it. It took me months of saving up,...

I have always favored Continental dishes than Mediterranean whenever I go out, and Italian Dishes are appreciated more than any other...well, aside from Filipino Cuisine of course, that being my native land.But whenever I cook at home I try to serve differently each time. If I can make it one country after another cycle in a weeks time I would. And the secret lies in the seasonings, herbs and spices available in the market that gives...

It is known by all that it is getting harder to live by in this world we live in. Economic crisis is felt by everyone, rich or poor, with all the monetary constraints we have to deal with. And it is commonly heard in Philippine Media "BAWAL MAGKASAKIT!" ("Getting sick, not allowed!") simply because the daily familial budget is often just enough for necessity. And medications or hospitalizations that comes in the most inopportune time...

Routine brown out is a pest we have to bear with. Though it is done with the good intention of saving power and energy, it still is irritating especially since it is SUMMER...when you most needed to cool down indoors. If only the government thought of doing this way ahead, when people loves the temperature even without the help of electricity. Imagine being at 36 degrees Celsius with no fan, and no air conditioner!Earlier the moment the lights went out, one thing flashed through my mind, our rechargeable lamp and remembered...

Yes we are in such a fast pace of life and with it is the faster pace of us gulping down food disregarding nutritional needs most of the time but just satisfying hunger.No wonder there are increasing rate of malnutrition, either over or under. Over in the sense that people gains weight due to intake of fatty foods, fast foods the most common culprit. We take in saturated fats, or bad fats, coming from meat and dairy products from burgers and ice creams. And under because we do not eat properly with all the workload we need...

Summer is here, spring is there! Best seasons to go outdoors and relieve yourself of that daily routine of stress. Break the home-work-home-work sequence and detour to the fun and enjoyment of camping.I have always appreciated nature. And experiencing life closest to it is the best one can do in appreciating being part of an ecosystem. Imagine yourself waking up with the sounds of birds singing and the breeze tickling the trees above you instead of traffic, the computer buzz or the chatter of people around you.Go outdoor...

I do! Especially if it will cater to my most needed beauty leisure in a spa. It's been ages since I last had a whole body salt scrub that takes away dead cells and exfoliates my skin polluted in the city with dusts, smoke and beauty products. It would be heavenly also to have the swedish-shiatsu combo massage I used to have to soothe away every tired sinews of my body.Being in a hotel is like living as Queen in one's kingdom. Almost all your needs will be attended to: the much needed rest, good food, relaxing atmosphere...

Being in a world filled with stress, it is not surprising that people tend to escape heartaches and failures with even temporary relief to forget and ease the burden a little. Though more often than not the path to that is not even perceived until almost half way there. Believing that "occasional" drink here and there is TOTALLY harmless, the individual becomes in denial of possible "habitual occasional" drinking (puffing or popping up as well) thus ending up in being completely hooked with the intake. Most even starts with...

There were times that I look in the mirror with a thought in my head, "What if I have a change in my appearance?"Like when I was in my 2nd year at work decades ago and being the same ol' me that my colleagues known me to be. I suddenly feel bored with how I look; that somehow I wanted to feel the welcome they gave me on my first day, a new intriguing person to know. And so, i decided to cut my waist length hair to a stylish layered shoulder...

I was visiting back friends when I came across this post from Useful Information about New Sony VIAO E series laptops that made me drool. I left a comment admitting to my craving to have a laptop of my own. I truly hope to have one someday, and none less satisfactory than what was said about New Sony VIAO E series.Of course it is mighty blessed of me to have this PC already but laptops are really cool. Imagine carrying it around and...

I firmly believe that those people who just can’t stop match making are simply hopeless romantics. It’s like they are feeling the need to find the right man and the right woman and just could not resist paving a way for them to be together.I have a romantic soul myself, but I guess I’m not as selfless as these match makers to put up much time in joining to people together. It is obviously their joy to succeed in finding other people’s soul mate, best match or possible mates.I have seen a movie like this before (Hitch, if you...

I have not known a single individual to despise pizza. Seems like everybody do love pizza! And I for one is a pizza lover. So much so that every time I am out, I crave to have one; either to at least taste a slice or eat half the pan of eight slices.And it is a dream for me to be able to taste ALL pizza flavors all over the world. Thin slices please! In our country I can say that I have tried most, if not all flavors of different pizza parlors. Number one topping not be taken out of my pizza is Mozzarella Cheese. Prefers...

June is coming, and many amongst us wishes to be a June Bride! Well, not for me actually because I’d like to have a December wedding. Yet no matter what day it is going to be, it is our own special day therefore we have every right to make happen what we want down to the tiniest detail.And for brides, the wedding gown is one of the most important of details that has to be PERFECT. Perfect fit, perfect design, perfect choice! And there’s so much to choose from; from the material, the style and cut of the dress to the design...

One of my college friends is a daughter to a retired BIR Commissioner. And now that almost all of her and her siblings are in Canada, their parents are out traveling around the world enjoying. What a way to finally have the much needed “break”. But I believe that we don’t need to grow old to do that. What if we don’t ever grow old or reach that day when we are done with our responsibilities?Why not believe that you deserve a treat for being the best that you are? Or a well-deserved present to your better half? Oh how...

I received this warning and it's making me freak out! My blog is not even a week old and I have this?! I am just starting to have friends and then scare them away with a WARNING PAGE?!

If there are obese, overweight or over nourished individuals, there also are under nourished. But it is a lot easier to gain than to lose, unless there are clinical problems involve like thyroid problems that increases metabolism, mechanical problems and diseases that hinders absorption. Otherwise, it is as simple as FILLING UP with high, calorie dense food and beverages.It is understandable that in this fast pace of life we live by,...

Just as I am allergic to dust, I am also allergic to dogs. Dog hairs and their very scent! I used to have childhood asthma but out grew them, unfortunately the allergy to it stayed. I envy those who can play with their pet dogs, dress them up and show them off to friends. Another concern is the changing times, of how much house owners benefit from guard dogs. I was thinking about this lately, until I’ve seen the movie Mission Impossible again yesterday and noticed that unbelievable security system they breached where even...

In connection to the last 2 posts, people have their own weaknesses! And if EATING is your weakness and it’s the only hindrance to your achieving your goal of living your dream of reaching that desired body weight…then THAT IS WHERE YOU SHOULD FOCUS, the very root cause of your problem. In so saying, in solving every problem and in curing any disease you have to target the root cause. Yours will be EATING TOO MUCH.I have seen obese...

That last post about sweets made me think more seriously about weight loss, and the frustration that I believe to be felt by most as well for not accomplishing the goal of achieving the right weight. Either because you are off to work or preparing for it at five o’clock in the morning (or even earlier) and be home by nine o’clock in the evening leaving you less than an hour to clean up, eat and let the food digest a little before having...

Sweet tooth me is having difficulty resisting the urge to have my dessert at Sugar House upon seeing their mouth watering cakes. I feel my legs taking me inside each time I pass and see from their glass counter cakes and pastries begging me to bite them. I can almost feel the creamy taste melting in my mouth now. The aroma of coffee and cake combination will undo whatever resistance I have each time.Thank God I'm gifted with a small frame and not so many fat cells, because if not, I definitely will be looking like our refrigerator...

Driving a long the Highway, it always makes me drool whenever I see an MB pass me by. I love the black or gray or chrome with light tint color. Very elegant. I can't help but imagine myself in it and as I pull-out of this salivating baby, I see myself with an attache case, dressed in fine corporate attire and door being held by the concierge. POOF! Dream has to end with a blast of horn.Of course, it is not surprising for anyone to...

I love to read...and my mom is at losing ends not knowing where to put my stack of books already. Filled are my book cases (inside and outside my room), should-have-been-cupboards, "under's"like under the bed, under the table, under the sink; our house can be called a library almost. BUT I just don't have the heart to part with books that I still read over and over.Well, until I learned about acquiring a copy inside my pc. HOW NEAT CAN...

Decades ago it's just snail mails that takes forever to reach it's destination and back for the reply. But now, it's mere seconds for you to have an answer to an urgent message.And so there is NO reason at all for you to say you have communication gap with your relatives or friends. Bridge that gap with your mobile. And it's so easy to have one these days even at a cheap cost. And because mobile networks understood that need as well is offering a great number of plans and even with free mobile phones. Grab these superb...

It is has been since the first man and woman that body protection and covering had been founded. If before it has been a "need" to have something on, now it's more than that...because now it also is for the "want". Clothing and dressing up evolved through time; from materials to styles.Fashion came through and people from every corner of the globe have their own trends and craze. Not only the city folks have certain "norms of the society"...

Your dream coming true has to be treated nicely. Your wedding is finally to take place, and it has to be the best it can ever be. You have pictured it a dozen times already; since childhood you have it in your mind…but it’s much, much easier to plan it in your head than in reality. And you definitely do not want to have the slightest glitch to happen on your special day!Then what you need is a wedding planner. They can iron out any...

Who would not want to see the marvelous creation made for man? There's so much to see and you cannot do so at one place, at one time. Travel the world over and experience the implausible reality that you can’t live enough to enjoy them all…thus, do not let the attainable pass you by.Board the plane and fly above the clouds. Just make sure to choose the best flight, the best airline to truly take you to your destination with none to the...

I have always dreamed of having a nice place to go home to…and nothing nicer but my dream house. My dream, a modern way of living with a magnificent pool to splash away the heat of the day or dip in at balmy nights. It actually need not be a gigantic place but a place to call my own. A place I designed or agreed with, with landscapes to drool over and a kitchen to die for. I definitely would love modern furniture than old-fashioned...
