Health & Fitness

The man is into riding his bike for health reasons. After turning 30, i think he puts on weight alot easier, usually if the weather is cold, he exercises on the stationary bike that we have at home but during the summer.. and late spring, he would be jolly about bringing out his mountain bike and go riding for an hour or so. Being asthmatic and all, one cannot be too careful, so a pulse oximeter, is always with him during his biking outdoors. The one that he has is hospital-grade accurate, and very affordable, so I’m happy and so is he, afterall, he hates it when i keep nagging him.

FaceBook at US$16 Billion

Everyone knows what FaceBook is ..?? right..?? well if you donch.. you must be living in the jungle.. like my brother-in-law .. Richard.. muahahahah!! ok.. i’m being mean..! yah.. but who doesn’t know what Facebook is..?? even my mother-in-law knows about it..!

Well.. soon Facebook will be so well known that in jungle boy .. will know about it.. because they are very close to closing a deal with either Microsoft or Google. Facebook reportedly has 48 million users! that’s ALOT..! and the brainchild behind Facebook..?? is Mark Zuckerberg! only 23 yrs old..!! OMG..!! they get younger everyday… eh..?? A Harvard student..! i bet Harvard must be real proud.. but of course so is his parents.. i would assumed.

Very much like your boy next door and reminds me of a computer whiz we have here.. in Y-Town. I can’t wait to see .. if Microsoft or Google gets Facebook. And nope.. i’m not into Facebook..! sorry…!

Cozy & Affordable

Taking vacations need not be expensive and one need not stay in 5 star hotels. I say this because Bed and Breakfast are not only popular in the Western part but they are so much more affordable and personable. The Asian hospitality is not seen in big hotels here in the United States and Canada but stay in a bed and breakfast, you’ll be remembered for a long time by the innkeepers. I love staying in bed and breakfast because they are so homely, especially if you are on a business trips for a few weeks.

A Better Monitor

Two years ago during Christmas, the man wanted to upgrade and buy himself a new monitor, of course there are loads of it in the market, so being the techie in our household and of course an owner to a computer store, he did a little research and what do you know.. ! He chose a viewsonic monitor, and to be honest with you, i didn’t know that viewsonic’s monitor was good either.. because most people go for the popular and branded ones, but according to the man, in terms of prices a 20″ for $300 was a bargain at that time. And now we will only recommend and buy Viewsonic.

Safe Haven For The Whales

Yes.. we do have whales here in Nova Scotia, REALLY, REALLY.. ! We donch really get to see them much.. because they are so far away. A new International Maritime Organization agreement that designates Roseway Basin as an Area to be Avoided (ATBA) could save the lives of more whales. The nearest whale watching for us is at Digby and it’s not cheap to whale watch but certainly a breath-taking experience for anyone.

Wearing Personalities

As far as i am concerned.. babies and toddlers are cute whatever they put on.. but to wear their personalities.. or moods on their t-shirts are just the best ever inventions. Baby clothes needs to be super soft because babies are so fragile and their skin are so soft .. you really don’t want to hurt them with any coarse materials. All mummies are no different than the next, they want to give the best to their children. I’m sure if your babies can talk, they will appreciate it that you are giving them their individuality.

Mayor Claims Amalgamation Will Happen

The Mayor of this town says that amalgamation will happen for this county and if that is true .. then why spend $5 million on this new municipality building..?? to house 13 – 15 office workers..?? It just make no sense to me at all.

There was an uproar recently and a hot topic .. in this town of ours.. about the town spending so much money .. that could be made good use of .. in other areas. God knows we need alot more than a NEW building with health club and day care for these 13 – 15 workers in the municipality building. The mayor has spoken but when amalgamation is going to happen he doesn’t know. An amalgamation is a consolidation or merger, as of several corporations, but how is amalgamation going to help this town..?? I am seriously waiting to see.

Paris City Breaks

A girlfriend who was recently married .. this year.. just came home from her honeymoon to Paris. Flying from Detroit into Paris, well actually she flew from Richmond to Detroit – a 90mins flight and then from Detroit to Paris. Taking one of those Paris City Breaks, Paris is undeniably the most beautiful and dynamic capital cities in the world. When one think of Paris .. one thinks of love in the air. Good food, good exhibitions, good shows (cultural) and musical events. When I think of Paris .. i think of both the old and new coming together.. to give tourist like me the most adventurous and memorable time of all, in this lifetime.

No one can resist Paris as it is quite the romantic getaway for not only weddings, honeymoons but for any special occasion. Visit the famous Eiffel Tower during both the day and night and see for yourself, the breathtaking view in awe. The famous Latin Quarter, Champs-Elysees and of course the world class Louvre Palais Royal, a station in Paris Metro are not to be missed when one is in Paris. Expect designer labels at bargain prices and elegant boutiques when shopping in Paris. And don’t forget those free-lance artist who will whipped out their brushes and do a quick portrait of you, while you enjoy a cuppa cappuccino in cafe on very corner. Sample all sorts of cuisine in Paris, eat at Nodaiwa Paris for the best Unagi kabayaki or have some steak frites lunch at Le Severo. Want to try something more extraordinary..?? why not the a Michelin starred restaurant Les Fables de la Fountaine.

Yes.. I’m bragging as you can see I’ve been to Paris quite a few times. And Paris Weekend Breaks is still on my agenda every chance I can get.

Lower Prices ASAP

“Canadian retailers should lower prices ‘as soon as possible’: Flaherty”

Jim Flaherty is the Federal Finance Minister in Canada.. if you must know. There is currently large discrepancies between similar products just across the border. The government would not intervene, and can only encourage the retail industry to let the market work. And if the market works, prices should go down. So we are back to square one.. and big boys . .. like i said.. like SuxkkyMart and Zeller, plus Staples .. should match the prices of their HQ.. in the states. But as of today.. at all 3 big boys store.. nothing has changed. Lots of hot air again.. and nothing..!

PB bought Chloe’s Halloween costume today.. because he didn’t wanna wait no more.. and he was afraid.. that it might be sold out on Friday .. during the no tax sale. So off he went .. and gotten this for her. She loves her bunny suit.. although she had wanted to be a penguin at first. But we couldn’t find any that was nice and cheap.. so we settled for a rabbit instead. Now we’ve gotta get her a basket for her treats .. but shape as a carrot if possible.
