My friend, JJ, is an events planner. She dabbles in wedding planning as well. She is a very creative person, I tell you. She organized an event for a theatre actress and it was a smash hit! She set up an opera-like ballroom event for her complete with ostrich feathers in every table, making the place look like a ballroom. I have seen the photos and it really looked great! She is now booked until the end of the year because of that event alone. Wow!

Martha Stewart online started this melancholic feeling I am experiencing right now. You see, I am single. I have no problems with that. I am quite content with my life. But even if I am happy with everything there are days that I still feel lonely. And these are days when there is a special occasion. Like Valentine’s Day or Christmas. In these special occasions, you can see couples everywhere. Normally, I do not feel the need for a partner in life. But in these occasions when being in a relationship meant someone will give you a special something… well, you get my drift.

I found this Martha Stewart online where you can buy flowers and all for special occasions. You know what I did when I found this? I told all my single friends about it. I asked them if they also feel special when someone sends them flowers and they do. So we made a pact that all single women in my circle will receive flowers from all of us on special occasions. That way, we would still be able to experience receiving something on this occasions.

If you are looking for flowers as well, go and check out Martha Stewart online and hey, you need not have someone your life to be able to feel special. Go get your girl friends and make a day special for each other.

We may not be mothers yet but in some way, we have been mothers to someone in our lives…
You might be a man but have been both a father and mother to your kids…
Moms, your children might be grown-ups now but rest assured that you are still their mom and they need you no matter what they say…
You may never know this, my dear mommy-blogger friends, but you’ve been a mom to me one way or another…

Tomorrow is a day for all of us.

It would be Hazel’s 3rd birthday party this coming October. Oh yes, it is months away but this early, we are already preparing for it. We are already scouting for birthday party supplies for the theme that we are thinking of. We are actually thinking of a Dora the Explorer theme. She adores Dora so much! She even sings with her when she watches her DVDs here at home.

Hazel is actually not a member of the family. She is the two-year-old child of a distant relative of ours. When my mom died two years ago, she was newly born. To alleviate our loneliness, my dad would get her from her mom and we would play with the infant Hazel. She smiled a lot, still does, and that captured our lonely hearts. She practically grew up here with us. And do you know that she sleeps beside my dad or sometimes beside me and my sister? She is the love of our lives.

So for her coming 3rd birthday, we would like a grand birthday for her. We are already thinking of birthday party favors and other things that we would need. We want toys or stuff that the little kids will be thrilled to have. We want to be able to see the joy in the kids’ eyes once they open their loot bag.

Browsing the net, I found PlumDrama.com, a site where you can get party supplies. Go to the site and find affordable party supplies that you need.

My blogger-friends know my mom’s story. She passed away September 2005 from multiple organ failure caused by her sickness, a rare kidney disease. It was heartbreaking, to say the least. But we have moved on already. I accepted the fact that my mom was not meant to stay with us forever. If she was still alive, she would have loved to get a Tulip Tower of Treats gift basket. It would have made her really happy to have one. She was one of those persons that gets happy with simple gifts. What more with a special one like this gift basket?

So for those of you who still have their moms with you, I suggest you give them something special this coming Mother’s Day. Show them you love them and appreciate them through a gift basket from 1800Flowers.com. Trust me, it will make a big difference in your lives.

My friend will be leaving to work abroad. It will be hard for us because she is like my twin sister, always beside me, making me laugh, see sense, stay calm, keep my sanity. She will be working for a large chain of hotels in the Middle East as an administration manager. It will be for her family, I am sure of it. She is a very responsible daughter and we are undergoing the same situation. She loves Swarovski Crystals so I thought of giving her something to remember me by.

I found this Floral Lampwork Swarovski Crystal Pearls Sterling Heart Toggle Bracelet which is a lovely bracelet fit for a girly girl. It truly fits her character. She loves the color pink as well so I am sure she will be ecstatic if she sees this. Another one to add to her growing Swarovski Crystal collection.

I saw this lovely bracelet at This Next. They have other designs. If I tell her about this site, I believe she will blow her money shopping for items that she instantly likes. Interested? You can go and check it out at ThisNext.com now.

Frog Hall Limited Edition - Lilliput Lane

There is something magical and inspiring in giving someone a gift with love. It matters not the price tag of the gift. It doesn’t even matter if it is big or small. What is important is that the gift was well thought of, something that comes from the heart of the giver. A gift that you know was given to you with love and affection.

A friend of mine loves collecting display pieces, meaning, those things that she can put on display like figurines, art pieces, uniquely designed objects and the like. She will turn 30 this year and is throwing a big bash to celebrate her single blessedness. What I would to give her is a lilliput lane that I saw at The UK Gift Company. You can see the photo of it in this post. She already has some castle displays and this Frog Hall Limited Edition piece will surely go well with her collection.

This is what I normally do before I give a gift to a relative or friend… I observe. I make sure that what I will give him or her will complement her lifestyle. Something that he or she will truly appreciate. A lladro is quite expensive but look at the details of this Lladro Utopia below. This is something that every Lladro collector will surely love. And this can also be found at The UK Gift Company. I really love Lladro pieces and this one by far is my favorite.
