Good fortune and heavenly blooms

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

I found this website that sells unique tea gifts. Tea and tea sets are being sold at FullBloomTea.com. A unique combination of art, flowers and tea indeed.

Look at the picture more closely. The tea cup has tea blooms inside it. Lovely art! The tea blooms inside are actually drinkable floral bouquets. They are selling different blooms like Aloha bloom, Fire bloom, Friendship bloom, Good Fortune bloom, Happiness bloom, Heavenly bloom, Joyful bloom, Let Love bloom, Pot O’ Gold bloom, Star bloom, Sunset bloom, and Teapot bloom. Each bloom has different meanings as specified by their names.

I love everyone of the bloom but I particularly like Good Fortune and Heavenly blooms. It says that a basket of Good Fortune unveils as this tea blooms. Now I would like that very much, for good fortune to unveil, I mean. This bloom has Silver Needle Tea which is the highest quality white tea and is harvested during the Spring before the buds open to preserve tenderness. It has a fresh light flavor.

Another one I like is the Heavenly bloom. Two Jasmine arms reach for the sky making this a Heavenly Bloom. Lovely!

So if you want tea blooms such as these, you can go to Full Bloom Tea and check out their different blooms available for you.

Safety precautions

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Security is very important to all of us. Especially when you have kids with you. It is doubly hard now to protect our family from harmful elements of the society. They are everywhere and at times, we can only do so much.

So we need to get a radar detector for our car. But if you are confused about it and is doubting the validity of a radar detector, I suggest you check out radar detector reviews at EscortRadar.com now. And be enlightened as to the many benefits of getting one.

World class tenor

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

When U heard about the news on Luciano Pavarotti’s death, I must say that I was truly saddened by it. No, I don’t know him personally. But we all know what a great artist he was. A great tenor who was not afraid to mix classical music with a bit of commercialism. I love his Pavarotti with Friends concerts. I make it a point to watch his shows even on television. It was just too bad that I did not get to watch him perform live in concert.

Good thing there are other great tenors like him still around to give us great performances. One of these tenors is Jose Carreras. He is one of the great tenors right now.

And did you know that he will be having a show in Germany come December of this year? Well I do. I got ahold of this latest from Jose Carreras at Viagogo, an online ticket exchange where you can buy and sell live event tickets in a safe and guaranteed way. Viagogo guarantees to buyers that once they purchase a ticket or win an auction and receive a confirmation email, Viagogo makes sure that the ticket will be received on time for the event. And to sellers, money will be collected once the purchase occurs.

Great place for selling and purchasing Tickets, don’t you think?

So back to José Carreras, here are the time and dates as well as locations of their upcoming shows:

  • Sa 15.12.2007 20:00 CET > KönigPalast Krefeld, Krefeld
  • Sa 23.08.2008 20:00 CEST > Domplatz Magdeburg, Magdeburg

College sports

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

College life is fun! Imagine being at school but enjoying life with less control from the parents… sweet! And one of the most fun activities in college is watching college sports. I think a lot of women out there will agree with me.

College basketball is one of my favorites. And of course, college football as well!

Whole clothing at a big discount

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

My friend is thinking of opening a clothing store in the province. It will be like the 99 peso store at the malls. Everything is ready by now. Legal documents, business permits and even the stall. There is only one thing that is lacking… where to get the clothes that she will sell!

I found Clothing4All.com that sells wholesale clothing. This shop is selling discounted clothes that you can sell at a premium. I will definitely tell my friend about this shop.

Long-lasting batteries

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

We use a cordless phone at home. But as always, our problem with it are the batteries. What with my sister’s non-stop talking on the phone followed by my brother, you will surely find it drained of its batteries at the end of the day.

Good thing I found a cordless phone battery that is affordable and is long lasting. It is a quality product being offered by InsterstateBatteries.com, an online shop that has a wide selection of batteries for cellphones, digital cameras, cordless phones and many more.

The Glorietta incident

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Friday morning I was not feeling well. Nahihilo and masakit ang sikmura. I opted to go home around lunch time because I want to go to sleep. Nung nasa baba na ako ng building namin, naisip kong dumaan muna sa Glorietta para maglakad-lakad muna at baka sakaling mawala yung kakaibang nararamdaman ko. So I asked the taxi driver to take me to Glorietta. But when we’re already in Paseo de Roxas, I changed my mind.

And thank God I did. Had I not changed my mind, I would be in Glorietta as well when the bombing of Glorietta 2 happened.

I just woke up around 4pm Friday when I heard the news from my family. Believe me, ganon pala ang pakiramdam ng tunay na relief, nakakapanlambot.

We watched the news and it was really sad to see what some evil people can do. 9 confirmed dead and so many injured. Di man lang inisip nung gumawa na kung government ang target niya kapuwa naman niya civilian ang naperwisyo niya!

Let’s all pray for the victims of this Glorietta bombing. Let’s also pray that this won’t happen again.

Family drama

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I am a sucker for family dramas. I love watching shows that deals with families, siblings, mom and daughter…

Gilmore Girls is a show that deals with a relationship between a woman who got pregnant at 16 and her daughter. I love the first season of this drama because it really tackled how a single mom was able to raise a daughter on her own. I love how Lorelei (mom) and Rory (daughter) treat each other as best friends but still maintain a mother-daughter relationship. I like how Rory adores her mom so much that she is not ashamed to introduce her to everyone she knows and would rather spend Friday nights with her than go out. Watching this show, you’d wish you have the same relationship with your mom.

Seventh Heaven is another family drama I love watching. I am sure many here would relate to Holy week marathons of this show. This drama is all about how a family deals with issues within the family as well as with the society. I cannot relate with some issues because of cultural differences. But I like watching how the parents deal with their kids. And how they deal with their own issues in life.

Brothers & Sisters, as the title suggests, is all about siblings. 5 siblings with different professions and have their own lives to live but still manage to get together especially in times of trouble. 2 are already married but the other one is childless. 1 is a well-known political show host. 1 is a gay criminal lawyer. And the youngest a drug addict. I love the character of the eldest maybe because I can relate to her dilemma in doing her best to live up to her role of being the eldest in the brood.

One particular episode that I truly love is where the second sibling found out he is sterile. He was devastated and the other siblings did their best to cheer him up. And then he thought of a solution… he asked his gay brother to donate his sperm to his wife! The gay brother refused at first but in the end, his love for his sterile brother won and he and the youngest donated their sperms. Many conservative people out there will surely find this outrageous but I love how this particular episode has shown the way one can bend conventional rules for the love of another. I think even Neil Crespi will agree with me.

And of course, nothing beats the love Michael has for his brother Lincoln in Prison Break! Just imagine going to jail yourself just so you can save your brother… He went to all the trouble (even had some of his toes cut!) to be able to get his brother out of jail, illegal though it may be, and to prove he is innocent. I also love how LJ, Lincoln’s son, tells his father he loves him. How many kids these days tell their father they love them? I don’t know that many.

So there you go… these are just some of the family dramas I love watching. I will list down more in another post.

Happy Friday everyone!
