Innovative Products

Technology advancement does not only apply to computer but on life enhancing products like Daily Living Aids. Just check out AllegroMedical.com and you'll see a lot of innovative products to help people improve the qualities of their lives. I particularly like the Framed Page magnifier, which allows you to magnify an entire page at once. The alarm clocks with bed shaker or the talking watch are so cool that I would love to receive those as gifts. And speaking of gifts, there are so many useful items that you can give to your parents/grandparents like the battery powered card shuffler, the Under-Counter Jar and Bottle Opener, or the Steady Write writing instrument. All products are designed to deliver top customer satisfaction combined with competitive prices and convenience of having the product delivered to your doorstep.

Saved

I'm so glad we have medical insurance from The Husband's company. Both The Husband and the little girl had to go to the hospital this month and we saved a lot of money because of our card. All we need to pay for are the meds, which is reimbursible from my company. In short, we don't have to pay for anything. I'm so thankful for our company benefits. This made me think of getting medicare insurance for my parents so we can save on checkup and medicines too.

All About Names

Gawd, my name is so short. LOL. Trivia: My brother’s name is Denice so my mom wanted to name me Janice. My father refused, saying I’ll find it hard to write my name when I grow up so I ended up with my very short name.

Cheap but Quality Eyeglasses

I used to have a perfect vision until I began working in front of the computer. Now I get headaches just after a few hours of looking at the monitor or reading a book. Which is why I'm seriously contemplating getting myself a reading glasses. I've been searching the net for a nice pair and found a Great Discovery: www.ZenniOptical.com. They offer a huge selection of frames from stainless to rimless, children's to sunsensor lens, bifocal to progressive and so many more. Their collections for women are very nice and I particularly liked the stainless steel half-rim ones. If you're on a budget but looking for quality eyeglasses, ZenniOptical's $8 eyeglasses are just right for you.

Adjustable Weight Loss Surgery

If you've given up losing weight after dieting and exercising for years, then JourneyLite's lap-band system could be just for you. LAP-BAND is the least invasive weight-loss surgery available today because there are no cutting or rerouting of the small intestines involved. It's reversible and adjustable and you can go home a few hours after the surgery. This system is designed to restrict food intake without affecting the normal digestive process. Using small instruments, a silastic band will be placed around the upper portion of the stomach to create a small pouch and a narrow passage into the larger stomach. This pouch can hold only an ounce or two of food so you will feel satisfied immediately when eating. Aside from being adjustable and reversible, the risk of complications is very low in this kind of procedure.

I'm sure for Sherwin that this is not just a photo opp. I can see him planning his guitar lessons in his mind for Sandy, wondering which song he should teach her first.

Mouse Trap

Just found out that my Ethernet cable has a few bites in it. It's probably one of the reasons why my connection is going on and off. I wouldn't know about it if I didn't have to crawl under my table to retrieve Sandy's jackstone ball. Guess I'll have to buy another cable then. I can go for those Cat6 snagless cables that The Husband have been telling me to buy. He’s addicted to anything that needed wiring you know.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year everyone!

2008 was off to a good start for me. First, I won 2 online raffles, both for $10. Not that big but if you think about how my name always gets stuck at the bottom of the raffle boxes, you will agree that 2008 is indeed my lucky year. Only two days have passed and I already received tons of design projects which means more savings, in time for our BIG purchase (I won't tell you what it is!). The little girl has also been sleeping through the night, though I'm not counting on it to last, the fact that I have been sleeping for more than five hours is a huge feat.

So, Happy Happy Happy 2008 to all of you out there. Here's a picture of me and Sandy while we're watching the fireworks from our house.
