Anytime Movies At Charter On Demand

Thank god it’s Friday. It has been a very busy week for me. I thought I can come home early and pick up my daughter from school today but I just cannot leave my work unfinished. I had to stay a little bit late. I have no plans this weekend except to go food shopping. Other than that I just want to rest and do a movie marathon. I already missed a lot of shows this week.

I am so happy that we switched to Charter digital. The charter on demand has saved us a lot of money. First, I canceled my movie rentals through mail and no more trips to the local movie store nearby. With the on demand, I can watch my missed shows anytime I want to. And, it is for free. Now I don’t have to adjust to the TV schedule because I can watch my favorite TV shows during my own free time. This will also eliminate the conflict among my husband, me and our daughter as to what show to watch on TV.

This weekend I will also check my Facebook page and be a fan of Charter. By becoming a fan I would be able to get updates and fun extras on Charter’s Facebook page. If you do not have a facebook account, you can still learn more at charter.net/ondemand.

Have you switched to Charter yet? Do it now and enjoy the fun.

Beads Of Cambay

The last time I went home to Manila, I bought a lot of our local beads as gifts to my friends here. I love jewelry but I was not into fashion jewelry like beads and gemstones. After having been to a lot of stores selling beads, I have discovered how beautiful and trendy they are. So when I got back here, I started buying beads for me and it has become a habit to check beads when I go shopping. Even a clothing store has a section for fashion jewelry that would go with different style of clothes. Now I could say, I learned to love beads. I could wear an ordinary jeans and shirt and just accessorize my outfit with a bead necklace and what a transformation it does.

I have been buying my beads from regular stores in the malls and they are not cheap. I try to learn to make my own beads to save money since I came across Beads Of Cambay, an online store that carries a big beads inventory of different stones, colors and shapes. If you are a jewelry designer or artistic enough to make your own jewelry, you can order Wholesale Beads & Gemstones from Beads of Cambay.

Shop with confidence at Beads of Cambay. You will be getting quality hand-selected beads and gemstones with excellent customer service from their professional staffs. A worry free shopping is guaranteed plus free shipping on all orders over $100 with in the U.S.

Kanye West Is Alive

Since yesterday, the news about Kanye West is dead due to a car accident in LA has been circulating over the internet especially on twitter. Kanye West is not dead. It is an internet hoax. He is alive. His girlfriend, Amber Rose, came out via her twitter account with this statement; “This RIP Kanye West” topic is not funny and it’s NOT TRUE.”

Some people commented in an internet article saying, maybe his career is dead but not kanye west!

Hubby And His Watch

My husband is not really into jewelry but when he saw his favorite tennis player wearing a Technomarine Moonsun Abyss watch, all of a sudden I saw him shopping for one. It is a waterproof diving watch in a stainless case and bezel with a black silicone strap; a water resistant of up to 10,900 meters! When he got the watch, he was explaining to me the importance of the silicone filled case with a permanent bubble floating inside. It is to prevent implosion and to resist the greatest depth of water.

Now came the time to replace the battery. We found out that there are only few certified dealers here in New Jersey so we went to the one closest to our house. They told us that they do not do the battery replacement at their store and they have to send the watch to the Technomarine factory. A special tool is needed to open it up because of the silicone. The store gave us a receipt and they will contact us after a couple of weeks. That was the deal.

Few weeks passed, we never got a phone call. We went to the store and the owner told us that the watch got lost in transit. They are waiting for the courier to pay them back but my husband does not believe the story anymore when they offered him the same watch but has no silicone bubble inside. My husband knows his watch inside out. He thinks that they never sent it back to the factory and they just tried to replace the battery themselves. They did replace the battery but the permanent bubble inside the watch is gone. Several arguments and trips to the store happened within the next weeks. Hubby was already thinking of going to a small claims court if worst comes to worst.

So what is the ending of the story? On our last trip to the store, hubby told me he will never leave the store unless they replace his watch with a brand new one. He got what he wanted. Hubby walked out of the store with a brand new watch.

Cape Cod Note Cards

In the world of computers and internet, there are traditions that have been taken for granted. Do you still give birthday, Christmas or get well soon cards to your friends or loved ones? To be honest, I am one guilty person. Not much with giving of Christmas cards but with birthdays I just do my greetings electronically.

Why am I on reality check all of a sudden? Because of the card I received from my friend who was in Cape Cod for a vacation. It is a photo card by Note Card Artist named Fletcher Boland featuring the natural beauty of Cape Cod with her personalized handwritten notes. Fletcher Boland is an independent artist, photographer and a trained sculptor who lives and works at Somerville, Massachusettes. He is an artist who loves to travel and on his Cape Cod Note Cards, he is able to share the amazing places he has been to. Boland has created a name in his own field as shown by the awards and recognition he has received. In 2008, he sold in Juried Auction at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and was a file magazine contributor. This year, he was selected for ArtMarket Boston and featured in Best Photography Annual. Since he started concentrating on photography, he already had numerous shows and a solo one this year.

Check out these beautiful note cards or read the Note Card Artist Blog at notecardartist.com. The cards are printed on an extremely high quality paper using a mix of nine inks that could last for 100 years. I am sure this card I got will surely last a lifetime.

Chocolate Facial

While I was on yahoo.com, I found this: “woman receiving chocolate facial” as one of the most emailed news photos. When I clicked it, it led me to this picture, a woman having a chocolate facial in one of the beauty salon in quezon city Philippines for P600. No mention of the salon’s name otherwise it would be a free advertisement.

Anybody has been to this quezon city salon? Or had a chocolate facial?
