Christmas is around the corner, you can easily tell just by looking at all the Christmas decorations at our neighbors’ houses, the mall, and streets, and the endless Christmas songs in the radio.  I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet, since I’ve been busy at work lately I actually haven’t written down my Christmas list, but for my nephews I exactly knew what to give them this Christmas.

I saw these great ideas for Christmas gifts while I was browsing the internet, there were Remote control trucks, that they will surely enjoy racing with each other, and then Cen Racing has a variety of monster trucks, however, if I wanted to give something different than trucks and cars, I could get them toy rockets form Estes Rockets.  Estes is known to build safe, quality and durable rocket models.  My nephews would really love launching their own rockets. The best thing about getting these toys is, I can order them from the internet, so I there is no need to go to the mall, I could just order them through the internet, and they will be delivered to my doorstep.

I remember being a little kid and listening to Peter Rabbit stories that my mom reads before bedtime.  I really love the adventures he and his friends have.  Bedtime is not the same without Peter Rabbit stories.  Aside from Peter Rabbit, I also liked watching Betty Boop cartoons, and her funny adventures.  But as time went by, I outgrew my Peter Rabbit bedtime stories and Betty Boop cartoons.

However, my  fascination to Peter Rabbit and Betty Boop did not end together with my childhood, though I no longer watch Betty Boop cartoons nor read Peter Rabbit, I have a wide collection of Beatrix Potter figurines, I have at least one figurine of her characters in Peter Rabbit stories.  Since the figurines were very fragile, I had to put them behind glass shelves.   I also have Betty Boop collectables like bags, glasses, figurines and shirts.  I still sometimes use the bags and shirts when going to the mall or when I feel like it.  Now that I have my own kids, I read to them Peter Rabbit stories and sometimes use my Beatrix Potter figurines to portray the characters better, and my daughter is the one using my Betty Boop collectables of bags and other apparel. It’s fun keeping in touch with childhood once in a while.

My birthday was coming up, and my uncle who was working overseas promised to give me whatever I want, I just have to email him what I wanted.  When his package came, the Motorola cell phone I wanted was there, it had a letter saying “Happy Birthday” and that I should take care of it.  Why wouldn’t I take care of it? I’ve always wanted this Motorola cell phone unit ever since I saw it on TV.

Aside from the fact that I have to get it unlocked first before I can use it, I also had to check for Motorola Cell Phone Batteries for this unit type and other cell phone accessories that match it.  I just can’t use any Cell Phone Chargers or Cell Phone Skins available, the accessories should be the perfect fit and match.  Using wrong accessories can definitely damage my cell phone. Being responsible is the best and only thing I can give back to my uncle.

I really loved my Apple Iphone, it was complete with features that keeps me entertained anytime and anywhere.  I can take pictures, videos, listen to music, or surf the web whenever I feel like it.  It was like multiple items or gadgets all at one piece of device.

To provide protection for my Iphone, I bought various kinds of Cheap Cell Phone Accessories, like Cell Phone Cases and Skins.  The Iphone Skins and Cell Phone Faceplates that I bought have different colors and designs, they were easily snapped on so changing Iphone Skins and Faceplates is easy. Usually, I match my Iphone Skin faceplate to what I was wearing for the day.  It was really fun for me matching my Iphone with what I was wearing, at first I  only had two or three cell phone skins and faceplates, now I have a huge collection  of them that I never had to worry about  matching my Iphone with my outfit.

I was getting my daughter a mobile phone for her birthday, she’s been bugging me all month to get her one since all her friends had their own cell phones.   I was looking through all the Unlocked Cell Phones and Unlocked Gsm Cell Phones at the mall.  With so many brands  and units to choose from it wasn’t at all easy.

While I was looking, I saw my daughter’s her best friend at the same cell phone store I was at, I walked over, said hello,  and asked her opinion on what cell phone I should get my daughter.  She thought it over and said that Samsung Phones are the great choice for my daughter, since it has high end  technology and developed with user-friendly features, and most importantly, she always saw my daughter checking out Samsung Phones on magazines and stores.  So, I thanked her and went away to purchase a Samsung phone.

My husband and I were planning to have our kitchen re-decorated; the kitchen cabinets were so rotten that everyday a piece of it would fall down.  We were planning to have custom made kitchen cabinets,  but when we made inquiries on the cost of materials and labor for the cabinets, it was so costly that we postponed our plans.

A friend visiting  us, saw the rotten cabinets, and said we should replace those since it can cause an accident.  We then opened up our problem regarding the cost of having custom cabinets made.  She then suggested that we check out RTA cabinets, they are of the same quality as custom made  cabinets,  and the best part, cheaper than custom made ones, since there are no delivery costs.  Aside from cabinets, there is also different kinds RTA furniture available.  With do-it-yourself procedures and no delivery cost, we were able to save a lot on our new cabinets and furniture.

Ever since I took that flight to the US, it’s been two years since I last saw my family. It’s a little lonely when you’re away from your loved ones, but when you think about the financial assistance you’re able to provide them, I feel I sudden burst surge of energy to go on.  The loneliness really takes its toll during the Christmas season, but I’m so grateful about web cam and the internet, I get to see and talk to family face-to-face.

During the months of October and November, I start to collect items that I’ll be putting inside my Christmas package, like chocolates, canned good, house gadgets, and etc.  Anything that I think they might need back at home.  But today I’m heading to the mall to buy them their Christmas gifts, the perfect gifts for my parents are easy, cash. But I still put a little something in the package for them like Louis Vuitton replica wallet and timepiece.  I could only afford to buy replicas; they wouldn’t know that it’s not the real thing anyway.  I got my brothers Adidas shoes that I bought at a recent bazaar; they were cheaper than those Adidas shoes found in the mall, so I got them two pairs each.  I even threw in a few cheap NFL jerseys, for anyone that might want them.  After making sure that the package is full, I send them for home as soon as possible, to make it for Christmas.   Being away from your family on Christmas really is lonely, but its okay, next year I’ll make sure I’ll be personally handing out their presents to them.

The best does not always have to be expensive.  For people who can’t afford to spend a lot on fashion accessories, there are a few substitutions you can make.  You can get a Rolex or an Omega in less the price than the genuine.  With replica watches, it’s like the original you wouldn’t know the difference.  For designer handbags like Gucci,  Chanel and Coach, there are also replica handbags available for you.  Complete with markings and engravings found in genuine designer products, it’s almost like the real thing. Made from quality material, you’ll get the same satisfaction as from the genuine ones.

During bad and cold weather, you can still be fashionable why keeping yourself warm and comfortable.  You can wear jackets or sweaters that are stylish and fashionable.  For your footwear, I highly recommend UGG boots.  They’re great for both sexes and all ages, made from the world’s finest sheepskin, quality leather and suede, they’re great for consumers who value luxury and comfort at less the price it’s the perfect combination of practicality and luxury, with its natural insulation properties coming from sheepskin it will keep your feet warm while staying in fashion at the same time.  The best quality fashion accessories doesn’t always have to be expensive.  These are not just cheap imitations but genuine replicas of the real product.  You can have the best replica watches and replica handbags for less and at a fraction of the cost.

Back when I was a freshman in high school, I wasn’t popular or cool.  Boys hardly notice me at all.  I observed that boys are more into girls that make the time and effort to look great, like putting on  make-up and wearing fashionable clothes.  Which was exactly the opposite of me, I liked wearing baggy jeans, t-shirts and sneakers, and I was more into being practical and comfortable.  However, all of that changed when my cousin stayed with us for a week  and gave me the make-over I needed.

First in our agenda,  was shopping for a new set of wardrobe.  I wasn’t quite excited about that make-over at first, but with my parents giving me their credit card, who could resist.  At the mall we went to Abercrombie and Fitch and bought some new shirts that were a little on the flirtatious and energetic side, but not too daring.  Afterwards,  we went to True Religion jeans and bought some jeans, that were not too loose but not too tight either, the fitting was just right  to emphasize the little curves I had. Aside from the jeans, we bought a denim jacket that will keep me warm in cold weather but stylish as well.  And for the  last store, we went to Gucci, and when I saw the prices I almost wanted to walk right out, but my cousin said that every girl should have at least one Gucci shoes in their wardrobe.  After  a while I found the pair of  Gucci shoes I liked, something I could wear even at school.  The first day of school after my make-over  was a success, boys were paying more attention to me unlike before.  And for the  first time  in my high school life, I felt like a  cool chick.
