It’s always candy corn season for me

Guest post written by Darren Wells

About now is the time of the year that I usually start planning what I’m going to be for Halloween. As you can probably guess, it’s my favorite holiday. It always has been. That’s why my family always hosts a big Halloween with all our friends each year that gives us grownups an excuse to dress up. Normally this is the time that I also start watching as many horror movies as I can find.

Last year I had to choose a costume that would let me wear a wig to hide my old big hearing aid, so I got a mullet wig and dressed up like a rock band roadie. But this year I won’t have to worry about that. I just moved a couple of months ago, but before that I went to miracle ear chicago to learn about some less obvious hearing aid options. After I moved here, I visited miracle ear sacramento and got the small hearing aids I wear now.

I told my sister about them and she went and got some similar ones from miracle ear philadelphia, where she lives.

As for a costume, I’m leaning towards Mario and asking our teenage son to dress up as Luigi with me.

Shop Shop til we drop!

Author: Joanne Suarez

I can not believe it is that time again to go shopping for back to school supplies. My husband and I have decided to split the shopping up into a 2 day ordeal. The first day we will go shopping for our 2 girls, of course they will be with us. They are ages 11 and 16. We will take them to the mall and let them shop at their favorite store to buy clothes and shoes. I have given them a limit to spend. I encouraged them to look for stores that are offering discounts especially the buy one get one free items. That way they can have extra money for something else they would really like to have. In our neighborhood already this year we have had a couple of break-ins and my husband and I will be making sure that we set our security choice home securitysystem before we go shopping for school supplies this year.

The girls love to go to Hot Topic at the mall to purchase their school clothes. After our long shopping day we will go have dinner. And the next day is when we will go to Wal-mart and CVS for purchasing school supplies. I will need to buy pens and pencils, note book paper, note books, calculators, erasers, glue. Then my shopping is complete.

Recording your most memorable moments does not confine on storing important occassions on videos but also on pictures. So it is a must to get a camera that is high end. A point and shoot camera will definitely not capture the best images you want to have so getting an SLR camera is advisable as it has so many features and benefits. It's so fortunate that like video cameras, a camera hire is now possible for those who cannot afford this type of high end camera. And if you want to explore more and get better results, a canon lens hire will certainly bring out the best in you as it is more advanced unlike your regular camera that you own.

Why the Cheesecake Factory is My favorite place to eat out

Guest written by our friend Waldo Byers

I love eating out. If I had endless amounts of money, I'd probably eat out everyday. Before I go, I make sure to set my adt videoalarm system. There are so many different cuisines out there to test out and, unless you're a chef, you'll probably never make them all at home!

The Cheesecake Factory is my favorite place to eat. I never pass up a chance to eat there. I usually look at their menu online before we leave so I have an idea of what I want to eat. We're usually there for hours!

I love the ambiance of this place. It's dimly lit so it gives you a romantic feel but it is totally fine for dining with family or friends! The atmosphere really puts you in a happy place. The food is absolutely wonderful. They have some signature dishes that would blow your mind. My favorite, by far, is the Shrimp and Chicken Jambalaya. If that's not your thing, they do serve other pasta dishes, burgers, pork chops, and they even serve brunch on Sundays.

Obviously they are known for their cheesecake and they don't skim on that! There are probably 20-30 kinds of cheesecake. We usually leave out with 3 or 4 different slices. The prices are good, the servings are huge, and you can't beat the customer service there. Definitely check this place out when you can!

Tickets For You!

If you're watching an event,concert or sports on any arena it is very likely that you want to have the best seat that you could get. who would want to be seated faraway and never caught the excitement of a concert or basketball game or even a baseball game that people close to the front can get. So in order to be guaranteed the best seats, it's important to book in advance. Wether you're in Staples Center or TD Banknorth Garden watching a basketball game or even a concert at Izod Center, you would be satisified with the ticket that you booked in advance.

So in order to get the prized ticket for an event, concert or game that you want, don't be left out and book in advance. I gurantee you will never regret it!

Protect Yourself and Your Family

Life sometimes can be so frustrating if we always think about our family's future. We always want to be healthy for our family so we could continue to work and provide for them. So if I, for example, get sick for a couple of days and am not able to work, I always look ahead and think what if I will not able to provide for my daughter anymore? A very smart choice nowadays for those who work like me is getting an guardian income insurance which will protect me and my family financially in case I won't be able to work due to sickeness or injury. What's good about this type of insurance is that it's only only me that gets protected but also my child in case she also suffer a wide range of sickness or injuries. But sometimes even if we try as might to take care of ourselves, accidents still happen and can leave our family devastated not only emotionally but financially. Getting a good accident cover to can give you peace of mind knowing your family is well protected against this harsh reality. Lastly, perhaps the most unfortunate event in any of us that will happen is if we pass away and we'll leave our family behind. It surely is hearbreaking and an unfortunate event but what we can do to help them financially is to get a funeral cover so that they can get by with all the funeral expenses and debt resulting to it if ever.

Getting an insurance plan has never been so easy. You can now directly apply online or by the phone and a friendly customer care will gladly assist you. So plan for your family's future now and avoid any hassles and inconvenience which we definitely do not want to happen. It's better to be safe than sorry, right?

Planning A Vacation Can Be Fun

Thanks for the post from Al Mills

I have never spent so much time planning a vacation in my life. The funny thing is that I really enjoyed the experience. For some reason, I love looking at homes and cabins that are for rent, even if I can't afford them. In this case, I went on to my rural internet service in Logan UT and began a search for rental homes on Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. I chose this location because it's exactly halfway between where me and my sister live - a 3.5 hour drive for each of us. There were many incredible homes for rent right on the lake. And the amenities were very impressive. They included hot tubs, kayaks, outdoor pools, porches, and gazebos. In all, they were beautiful. They were even affordable. The problem was that I began my search too late.

When I started looking for a place for my sister's family and my family to meet, it was already late March. By then, all the good rental properties on the lake were reserved. There were a few less desirable options, but who wants to spend their money on something like that? I continued trying to find something that I missed earlier or something that opened up, but no luck. After three days of research using satellite internet in Utah, I finally decided that we weren't going to meet in Glen Canyon. We ended up in a completely different state, but it was still fun to do the research.

Hannah's 2nd Birthday Party!

At last Hannah's was already finished and was successfullu attended by our family and friends. We celebrated it outside our house and though it rained hard a few hours before our party, the rain stopped just in time to start the party. I hired a clown which also did some magic tricks to the delight of the kids. My Nanay, Tita Inday, Nora and Aling Vivian helped each other cooked the delicious meals we served our guests. My Hannah surely did enjoyed seeing a lot of kids and playing with them. Here are some of our pics taken last week, July 10, 2010.
