Who would have thought that the humble power cord can disrupt my daily article writing routine? My laptop’s power cord has many animal bite marks (puppy? rat? ughh!) on it but it was functioning normally until today. So now I gotta buy a new power cord, sigh! I really loath to go out of the house and go to some electrical shop or some shop that sells power cords. My solution? Online shopping! =) One of the biggest online shops that sells power cords and cables is TCA. Right now, they just have 4 types of power cables. But soon, TCA will have 20 different variations of the 4 types and 5-10
different lengths per connector type!

Whew! I’m sure there’d be something for everyone in there! So if you need a power cord like me, feel free to drop by their site =)

Kadayawan has just ended here in Davao City. It’s an annual week-long festival that gives thanks for all the blessings our beloved city has received for the past year. Of course, I had the time of my life going to fairs, shopping sales, parks, eating barbecue and watching the gorgeous flower floats (this one on TV, I can’t bear the heat!) parade. One thing that I noticed was that tradeshow exhibits were better! Even those coming from small businesses. One banner stand that got my attention was the one that depicted a giant Waling-Waling, the world’s most beautiful orchid found only here in our city =) It was breathtaking to look at, as if the flower was true! Anyway, I’d post my Kadayawan pictures next time around. I just reached my upload limit for photos, lol!

Because I was so fascinated with the Waling-Waling banner stand, I decided to search the internet about how it is made. Coz definitely not all banner stands are created equal, some really suck. Anyway, I found out about the BigPosters and they’re having a BIG SALE on 33″ x 78″ banner stands! Everything costs just $125, additional artwork is free to print. A sample stand would be the one above. Looks good huh? BigPosters will ship your banner stand worldwide so if you need one now, order from them and save a lot from their BIG SALE. So what are you waiting for? Order online now or call them at 888-880-4843.

If yes, then read on!

My father has been receiving wine and liquor gifts from his friends and officemates for as long as I can remember. And given that he’s not really into alcoholic drinks (except during parties) along with rest of our family, our liquor stash has grown. Where to put it? On a wine rack of course! So when we had our house renovated last year, we put up a mini-bar with a wine rack installed beneath the bar. We designed it to look as if it’s just another cabinet (left photo), but when you open it up, voila! It’s a wine rack! Neat huh?
.

.
Yeah our wine rack doesn’t look stunning, but hey, we’re not wine rack designers! LOL! If you want pretty wine racks to suit your bar theme, check http://www.thevinestore.com/. They have an excellent collection of metal and wood wine racks in every design. Whether you want your wine rack in classic finish or with a whimsical design, TheVineStore has something to cater to your taste. They even have cool wine accessories! The next time we’ll renovate our dining bar (or make a new bar in our basement), I’d definitely buy from TheVineStore. Great designs for a cheaper price!

I LOVE BEDS! I truly do! If there’s one thing I’m willing to spend on, it would be in buying beds and gorgeous beddings. The photos above are pictures of my Princess Daybed, pretty huh? =) I had it painted in white with pink accents. The beddings are of course pink, as well as most of my stuff toys. Though I love this bed of mine, I long for wooden beds. They seem so sturdy and long-lasting, and they exude that classy mature style that I’m favoring now. One type I really like are the Pine Beds. Whether finished in dark or light, pine beds look sturdy and classy at the same time. The photos below are sample pine beds I found at Wooden-Beds.com —

Wonderful huh? There are more beds in the site and they all look beautiful! But my absolute fave bed of all time is the

Sleigh Bed. In the popular simulation game The Sims, this is the bed I always buy for my sim characters. I just love Sleigh Beds! =) Take a peek at the photo below (still from Wooden-Beds.com) and tell me if you don’t like it. I would personally explain to you the merits of its design, lol! Now all I need is moolah to buy this dream bed of mine!

Everything is blooming in our garden! And I love it! Especially that most of our flowers are colored pink, hehe! My mother adores pink and that pink addiction rubbed off to me. And so we planted PINK flowering plants months ago, and now our eyes are reaping the benefits. The pink flowers are simply gorgeous!!! Breathtaking even.. Or that’s just maybe because I’m addicted to pink! =) Anyway, as usual, I took a lot of photos of the pink blooms and here they are –
.

BIRD OF PARADISE - its usual color is bright red or orange, mixed with yellow but ours is pink! =)

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

DAISY? ZINNIA? - not really sure, but who cares? as long as it’s pink and not the usual yellow, orange or white :p

.
More pink flowers next time! Yes, there are still more, lol! Maybe I’ll add the white and gold flowers too. Gardening has been my pasttime aside from earning online this past 2 months. What? How do I earn online? Check my other blog here. Lots of get-paid-to websites there! Happy earning and I hope you enjoyed the photos! =)

I’m not fond of jewelries in particular. I never bought one before, all the stuff I have are given by my mother. I’m the only daughter so I’m sure her jewelry collection will be passed on to me. Nice huh?? =) Anyway, when I came across this jewelry online shop, I was stunned by their products at first glance! They have uber exquisite Silver Jewellery and Gold Jewellery collections, one of which was featured in Marie Claire. Yes, it was that dazzling to merit a recommendation. After browsing their site, I fell in love with a lot of their well-designed pieces. If only I can afford them, lol! Anyway, here are my favorite handmade jewelries from their breathtaking Gavang collection:
.

Spectacular pieces huh? If you love collecting jewelry, I suggest you pay a visit to Element Jewellry. They have fantastic elegant designs that will inspire you. And if you wish to buy, their finely handcrafted jewelries won’t disappoint. So what are you waiting for? Go visit! =)

Nah, it’s just more of my jazzed up photos. Hehe! I really like this theme, your picture as a museum painting, with onlookers viewing your face. Yeah, I’m egocentric =) Anyway, I would like to share another PINK blog with lots of pictures of the author. She’s very famous actually, especially in Singapore. If you bloghop a lot, then you’ll be familiar with XiaXue. I adore her filthy mouth (read her blog so you’ll know what I mean, hehe!) and no-nonsense approach to life. But, the one thing I really love about her is her PINK addiction! Just like lil old me, hehe! She’s currently doing a "princess room" in her bf’s apartment and it’s gonna be all done in pink. Can’t wait to see the outcome!!! Maybe I’ll pattern my room after her. My room’s already done in pink but I could get some tips from XiaXue’s room =) Anyway here are my lovely, lovely museum painting pictures:

I’m so happy!!! I just stumbled on the BEST file sharing utility in the whole wide world! You see, I have tons and tons of files in my pc that needs online backup or parking. I have tried many utilities but it’s either it’s not easy to use or it has low uploading or storage limits. Also, I love to send large files over the Internet but email providers only allow a max of 10-20mb. Harsh! I mean, how am I gonna send a video which is usually more than 100mb in size? Sure, I could upload it to YouTube but it won’t be as good. Also, what if your video is private?? Enter Driveway! It is newly launched and is web 2.0 compliant. Before posting this, I tried their services and I’m more than satisfied! =) They allow sharing of files up to 500mb EACH with UNLIMITED total storage! Imagine that?? Is there any other site that can provide you with this?? I don’t think so!

Aside from unlimited file storage, Driveway allows you to send large files via your email. You just have to use their ParkIt links. Also they will allow editing of your uploaded file by other persons if you chose that option. See the “send files for EDIT” button in the screenshot above. Other cool features of Driveway include creating widgets using your files for you to post in your blog or website. Also they have a plugin that allows you read/edit uploaded files without saving it first to your pc as we usually do. Really cool huh?? I can’t wait to exhaust all their features, lol! So what are you waiting for?? Check their site out!
