Red Ribbon in New Jersey

This is the second Red Ribbon store that opened in New Jersey. It is open now along Washington St in Bergenfield, NJ. The first red ribbon that opened few years ago is in Jersey City, NJ.

I took a photo of the new store in Bergenfield this morning. It is a little bit smaller that the one in Jersey City but there are few tables outside for outdoor eating. Now I can have my chicken empanada, ube cake, arroz caldo, palabok and siopao more frequent since this new store is closer to our house than the one in Jersey City.

Walmart Supercenter

There is a Walmart store right where we live but last Saturday we happened to stop by this Walmart Supercenter in Monroe, New York. Wow! It is HHHUUGGGEEEE!!! Never been to a supercenter before but I heard about it. It is similar to a warehouse store set-up, the only difference is that you do not shop in bulk quantities like we do in costco, bj’s or sam’s club. A supercenter has everything – produce, meat, fruits, vision center plus everything you see at a regular walmart and a lot more. There are more cashiers, wider aisles and this one is open 24 hours. I enjoyed shopping at this walmart unlike at the regular walmart close our house which is always crowded from the parking lot to the store.

So Tempting From Coach

...when you get this from coach. This is my weakness! It says you will get 20% off your next factory purchase.

I'm just being quiet but I put card at the dining table. Let's see what hubby says when he sees it tomorrow. I forgot about this already but I saw it again when I was shredding our mails.

Looking For A Web Site Host?

Who does not have a blog or website these days? I started having my own website two years ago using one of the free website hosting available. I was an inexperienced blogger learning how to have a site of my own. As I go along, I have learned the advantages of having your own domain by registering your website through a web hosting company. I did not realize that there are hundreds of them available that you cannot just decide which one is the right one for your needs. The research is never ending but through the help of webhostingrating.com I was able to pick the best for my website. Web Hosting Rating is a one stop shop for someone who is looking for a new web hosting service or planning to switch to a new one. They provide comparisons of the different web hosting providers based on customer satisfaction, affordability, reliability, customer service, technical support, space, discounts and promotions. You can also read reviews and feedback from customers based on their hands on experiences on a web host. These reviews, ratings, and various information about web hosting that are provided by webhostingrating.com are very helpful in your decision making. You do not have to do your own research anymore because all the information you need before getting your own domain is already made available by webhostingrating.com for you.

Where is Willie?

I don't watch wowowee everyday but since Willie Revillame got in trouble again for the comment he made on air about President Cory's procession last Monday, I have been checking the show for two days now. He was not there at the show yesterday and today. I don't think I am watching a replay but what happened to him? Did he decide not to show up pending any investigation the authority is doing regarding his case? Hmmm... Now, it is interesting to know.

Bluelight Specials At Kmart

“This post was sponsored by Kmart. All the opinions are mine.”

Yesterday I asked my friend to stop by Kmart to pay my card. He came back with a flyer from Kmart showing the Kmart Bluelight specials this Saturday. This is for one day only at any Kmart stores. I got excited because this will be a chance to do my back to school shopping to avail the great discounts being offered by Kmart on this one day sale. I saw on the flyer that filler paper is on sale this Saturday for only 2 for a $1. I need a lot of this for my kids.

Also, one thing that we really need to buy is a patio furniture for our backyard. We planned to buy one last Spring but we cannot afford the regular prices. This is the perfect time to buy. Kmart is having all their patio furniture on sale at 70% off regular prices. I think we also bought our patio set from Kmart three years ago. I also want to check the jewelry section to get an extra 10% of diamonds that are already 70% off while hubby can shop for mens athletic basketball shorts for $3.00.

So all shoppers, make sure to stop by any K-mart stores today to avail the Bluelight special. Also, to get updated and be the first one to receive deals from Kmart, you can follow Kmart on Twitter to start receiving KmartDealsnNews. Remember, this sale is one day only, August 8. Do not miss it.

The 4 Honor Guards At Pres Cory's Burial

I watched President Cory Aquino’s burial live last Tuesday night here in the U.S., switching between the TFC Channel and the live streaming of GMA 7 (Congrats GMA 7, you did a good job! Thanks!) I was glued on TV from around 7pm or around dinner time. I know the procession to Manila Memorial Park from Manila Cathedral started to move around 11 a.m. (11 p.m. here) until the next day I woke up until I was already at work!!! 9 hours have passed!!! I looked at the four guards standing by Tita Cory’s coffin – they were still there, same faces, still motionless – STILL BREATHING!!! OmG, nine hours of just standing straight, no movement, no talk, no pee, no food rain, storm or shine, day and night.

I salute you guys!

They are: PO1 Danilo Maalab, Pfc. Antonio Cadiente, Airman 2nd Class Gener Laguindan and Navy Petty Officer 3 Edgardo Rodriguez.

As per the inquirer report, they were handpicked from the elite honor guards of the army, air force, navy and national police. They were trained to bear difficult tasks like this, even trained to resist the call of nature. Pag hindi na mapigilan they could pee in their pants while standing.
What an endurance, sacrifice, love for the job and strength. Mabuhay Kayo! Tita Cory must be proud of you.
