A Veneto Dinner at TriNoma - Nathan with Family!!!
We have a wonderful dinner at A Veneto, TriNoma Branch. Nathan is still very hesitant to take any solid food still. Since he turn 1o months, he don't want to eat any solid food, we been quite bothered about this and we ask his doctor about the matter and we were told to give it sometime and eventually he will eat soon enough. Now that he turned 2 and still don't want to eat I ask my sister to consult his pediatrician and maybe we can do something to have him eat something aside from milk.
By the way, I will worry about that later after the doctor's check up. We had a great time at A Veneto restaurant. The serving is really big and their pasta is superb. Pizza is cool too. The day is full of fun and memorable too. Imagine due to heavy rain early that night, we are not so fortunate to get taxi as early as we want. We have waited 2.5 hours before we were able to take a cab. My mom fell asleep in the waiting area and we are too thankful that my mom anticipated Nathan's digestion and carry extra bottle of milk for him.
Still thankful that we got home safe....Happy Birthday Nathan and I am hoping that he will get to appreciate solid food soon enough so that we can go out more often and I can take him to any restaurants that suite him.

Is this Mount Susong Dalaga?
Bundok ng Susong Dalaga (Mt. of Maiden Breast) also known as Mount Sembrano, it is located in Batangas, Philippines, some say it part of Laguna, Philippines.
I have no idea of how it looks like, alli know is that the two mountain is perfectly aligned and shape like a womas breast. As we travel going to Balai Isabel in Batangas, Philippines l;ast July 12 for our company team building.
As we watch the beauty of nature, this mountain catch my attention and ask Rhea to take a photo of it. I believe this is the so called Bundok ng Susong Dalaga, you can see on the picture that it is cloudy by you will still notice the perfect shape of the womans breast on this mountain even from a far.
Is this reall the Mt. of Susong Dalaga? What do you think?

Searching for Best Gift for our Baby Nathan!
Nathan will be turning 2 this July 23rd. We are very excited and looking forward for this date. I am in search of the best gift for him, I do know that the best gift to give is love but a child will somehow recognize your love if you gave gift that will put glow to their eyes and you will see the sparkle of eagerness of what awaits them under those beautiful gift wraps.
As always I look for the best store that I can find on the net, ShopWiki will give you something to think about and know the location of the store where you can get the items that interest you the most.
Now that Nathan will turn 2, I need to get him a toy that is healthy for his mental growth, physical growth and hopefully built his stamina. I do believe that we need to prepare our kids to this kind of educational toys because this is very helpful as they grow older.
I am in search for the best outdoor toys for him, I am planning in getting him a bicycle that suite his age and a colorful educational toy for him like a learning system where he can hear music or voice about a certain object or picture.
ShopWiki really helps me search and have the best decision in finding important items for our babies which is helpful and fun. Aside from knowing what to get, by simple browsing on their website you will have a clear idea how much will it cost and know right at hand if it suites your budget.
They have all the things and information you need for your kids from nursery items to boys clothing, girls clothing, best furniture for our little nursery room, even things that you might need for a little activity for your kids.
Now, I have less worries what to give to Nathan on his birthday...

A Lovers Birthday!!!
Two of my closest friends is the office happens to be a couple now, they started to be friends and after over a year of being friends and an office mate to one another they both found love in each other’s arm.
Eunice and I came in with this project in the office on the same date, since we both came from wave one and pioneered the project and during that time we are only 10 when we started. Eric came with wave five, few months after. I never thought that they will turn out to be a great couple.
They are both acquainted to one another and everything but not that close until two a half months ago, I have learned that they are dating, since I am close to both of them I ask and they answer back that there are just dating and hoping to get there.
To cut the story short, they fell in love and they will be celebrating their 3 monthsary on August 8, but prior to that I was really surprise that they were born on the same date. July 25th but not on the same year. It is really very seldom that 2 person born on the same day that fall in love to one another and I am very happy to have known one.
To ERIC and EUNICE......Happy birthday to both of you and hoping that you love to one another will last for as long as it takes.....Take care of each other....I am happy for both of you....

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - a disappointment.....
I numerously seen the trailer for I am so eager to watch the movie, after all the long wait, I was so disappointed of the outcome of the movie. I never expected that I will dislike it to begin with. I have read the book and that's the reason why I became so excited about the movie, but of all Harry Potter movie, I am sorry to say this but part 6 is the worst.
I understand that they try to cover almost everything that's on the book but they missed what people really watch in the movie in the first place. I have read the book and the reason why I watched is because I want to see if my imagination while reading the book is similar to how they interpret it in the movie.
The flow of the story is OK but what about the fight scenes, where is the important fight scenes of those witches and wizards, that would be wonderful to be place in the move and among other things that I hate to enumerate because I might end up forgetting all about Harry Potter.
For me Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince the movie is a failure, they can still do something about it, they have to focus with Harry Potter and Deathly Hollow (book 7), the part that I am looking into that book once they filmed it is the fight between Molly and Bellatrix.
If you have not read Harry Potter book 6 and simply watched it in the movie, you will lost how the story goes. Still good cast of characters but the story line and how they directed it, is something they really need to work on and the cinematography need tremendous improvement.
Watch it, its up to you because we want to follow Harry's magical adventure but If you are not a Harry Potter fan, it's up to you. I am a big fan but with this move I am disappointed...
This is my own opinion and it has nothing to do with others opinion.

Benefit of Web Directories!!!
There are so many web-directories now that you can encounter on the net, this is good especially if you have website of your own because yo0u need to incorporate your website or sign up to this directory listing to have your website be acknowledge and to attract readers.
I have come across few good web directories, of course if we sign up for web directories we always look for free web directories, especially if they can include our website to their listing, then there is the possibility that our site can be found easily. Web directories are really essential for blogger, people who manage a web company, for people who gather information on the internet, the more directories they search for information the more chances that they can get better result and helpful ideas to what they are searching for on the net.
Google web directory is one of popular to gather information, their listing is good and reliable too but some other web directories gave some information for what I really need that I can say remarkable, and this I believe is a SEO friendly web directory, which helps companies to make their website known to readers, shoppers, traders and alike.
Search engine is really important to anyone who always gathers information on the net and they always look for the best result of what they are seeking for. Remember as long as you get the best result of what you are looking for and believe that it will be helpful for you that are the best information that you can find, no matter what you uses as long as you are comfortable it, then go for it....
Like what I always say to my friends that the most important part of what we do aside from the content of what we post on our website is to have our site link to most numbers of directories because with this we will be able to share our ideas to the world and have more readers. Don't forget Yahoo is also consider to be one good directory too.

Grapes a Great Snack!!!
I have read an article about grapes, these fruits consider to be a great snack, aside fact the fact that grapes is low in fat and calories it also have some healing nutrients which is good for our body.
Resveratrol, a phytoestrogen a nonsteroidal compound present in the skins of grapes. Various studies shown that resveratrol blocks cell inflammation, which is linked to arthritis and other diseases. A team of researchers no conclude that trans-resveratrol block the activation of the gene identified as COX-2, which is important in creating the inflammation that causes arthritis pain.
Some believed that trans-resveratrol can improve in taking aspirins to fight diseases associated with COX-2 such as arthritis.
All wines have some resveratrol, red wine is considered to be the best source of resveratrol. Arthritis is common disease of men, grapes is the best snack that we can consider in fighting this kind of disease instead of taking too much pain killers medicine.

Cosmetic Surgery!!!
We talked for almost two hours and at the same time looking for a best place where she can undergo the procedure for her cosmetic surgery plan. She wanted to have a liposuction for she have gain like 34lbs and she wanted to at least eliminate some of those from her thigh and waist but she is looking for a reasonable price and affordable with exquisite facility and really safe and professionally inclined to this type of procedures. We are looking for a center
As we end our conversation that day I can sense the smile on her face with all this great news for her, she told me that she wanted to do this for her husband. She wanted to surprise him for they haven’t seen each other for nearly 6 months due to his overseas work.
Los Angeles liposuction from Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery center is really an answer to her prayers, aside from the fact that she wanted to this for her husband, I know them both for a long time and I know how much she love her husband and after being away from her for that long, I know that he will be please to see her new wife one he came home.
Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery offer different types of procedures with very affordable prices and I am really certain that they can help my friend for what she desires. and she will be calling them anytime these week for appointment she will be updating this coming weekend and i can't wait to hear from her about this.
