Guitar Starting Kit

21st May 2013 | Music and Videos, Online Shopping | 0 comments

When it comes to buying your first ever guitar, what do you think are the main issues to look for? Affordability? Quality? I say, both.

Buying your first guitar can be a little hard, especially if you have no idea what to look for. Some people just buy a guitar based on looks. Some just buy the most expensive ones disregarding the quality. While some others just buy cheap ones just for the sake of jamming with friends or just at home chilling.

Well, if you are looking for a good guitar starter that has both (quality and affordability), you might want to check out this classic epiphone dr-100 acoustic guitar. It may not be the most sought after guitar, but this baby can truly make your guitar experience worthwhile.

Run Fatboy Run: The Fratellis – Chelsea Dagger

19th May 2013 | Music and Videos | 0 comments

FINALLY! I’ve been hearing this song from quite a number of movies already. The first one was from the movie, Run Fatboy Run. The second was from this trailer I saw featuring Jack Black (I forgot the title).

I thought the song is really catchy and it really got into my head for a couple of days when I first heard it. So here it is!

The song was played when Simon Pegg’s character attempted to jog, ultimately failing after just a couple of minutes.

Diet: Portion Control

13th May 2013 | Foods, Health and Beauty | 0 comments

Do you know that eating healthy, changing your lifestyle and practice of regular exercises can make a big difference if you’re trying to lose weight?

While many of the people I know, both online and offline, opt to just skip meals or eat nothing but crackers for their meal just to lose weight, I, on the other hand, prefer to eat six times a day. Some might think, it’s too much for a person to eat more than three times a day, especially when on a diet. I say, NO. It isn’t.

In fact, my secret (though it is no secret really) is portion control. Just eat the right amount of food. Do not exceed from your allotted daily intake. Otherwise, weight gain starts. Eating nothing but a cracker for your meal is not recommended. It will only make you hungry at some point, and that will lead to binge eating = weight gain. And then the cycle goes on and on again. You will never accomplish your goal of losing weight if you choose to do that diet regime.

My suggestion? EAT healthy and do not skip meals especially breakfast. Take a calorie counter test and base your food intake from that result. If you feel the need to eat sweets like chocolates, sugar free jam, ice cream, cakes, then by all means do it! Don’t hinder yourself. Just make sure not to eat too much. The KEY here is PORTION CONTROL. If you have a sweet tooth like me, eat a piece of chocolate once a week just to satisfy your cravings. It really depends on how you discipline yourself.

For those who are just starting, it might be difficult for them to give up the food they love, but for the sake of being healthy and getting that desired weight, sacrifice and control must be put to practice.

Suzu House by Farfalle-Sims

13th May 2013 | Games, Home and Decor, Sims 3 | 0 comments

OMG! I really need to download Sims 3 University Life as soon as possible! I can’t play this beautiful house until I install the game, so.. Sims 3 UNI SOON!


Get it: farfalle-sims.tumblr.com/post/49495043919/suzu-a-200-follower-gift-lot-size-20×20-price#notes

It’s a midcentury contemporary house by farfalle-sims. I really like the idea of building the house over a pond (or whatever you call it). It’s actually something I saw online on 9GAG where a house is also built over a LAKE. Yes, a LAKE, people. And the flooring used in the house that overlook a part of the lake is made of glass, so you can very well see the lake while walking on it. Creative, right? I’d love to build a house on Sims 3 with that same perspective as soon as I buy a new charger.

Worn-Out To Brand New

13th May 2013 | Home and Decor, Online Shopping, Personal | 0 comments

Two days ago, I decided to thoroughly clean my room for the first time in eight years. Yes, after all those years when we first moved in, I never really had time to clean my room meticulously. But now that I have some free time these coming days, I thought, why not now?

Behold.. my super old bed mattress.

See the part where it’s so worn out? I know, I didn’t really mind it until my back started screaming for pain. I should have known this because I studied this type of back problems at some stage in College. Tsk.

My mom even commented that I need to replace that old mattress and get a well-built bed mattress such as memory foam mattress. I actually saw one on Foam By Mail online and now contemplating whether to buy next month or before the fourth quarter of the year starts. I still have to save up, you know.

I also saw some important packaging supplies for both commercial and residential use, which I think my dad needs as well for his tools.

Back to my pain problem, I hope this won’t escalate into something graver. I really don’t want that to happen. I’m not getting any younger and a thing like this isn’t acceptable for a person like me.
