| You Are City |
 You prefer big lights and big dreams over the slow paced life of the country. You crave excitement, and the city has many opportunities for you. While you appreciate the peace and quiet of the country, it's a little too quiet. You need lots people, culture, and action to feel truly alive. |

the city that never sleeps
discount designer jewelry
A niece's fashion sense is driving me nuts! You see, at a very tender age of 9, she's already asking her dad to shop for discount designer jewelry for her, imagine that? And the dad (who happens to be my brother, by the way) is supporting her daughter's caprices and whims all the way!
It's not as if I don't want her to have these things. I also have a daughter and soon, she will also love to collect jewelries and fashion accessories. What I don't want them to do is to make these material stuff center of their lives. For this is not the important things in life. There's more to that!

glamour!
| Your Glamour Icon Is Sultry |
 Beauty is nothing other than the promise of happiness. |
What Glamour Icon Best Represents You?
WOW! I never knew this was the case. Hmm maybe I should take this test again and see what happens next! LOL. I wonder how the husband will react to this. I don't even dress the part. Maybe seductive should be the term? I dont know. Is it obvious I am in denial here?! Hahaha!
gold bullion
I read somewhere that at Monex Deposit Company, you can actually purchase silver, gold and bronze, and other precious metals to your liking and can have them safekeep your pieces in their storage or depository. A friend who is actually very fond of collecting semi precious and precious metals purchased gold bullions and left it to them first for safekeeping.
I wouldn't think twice as well of entrusting these metals to them since they are known to have dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs and being America’s best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices.

class or trash?
I'm sorry... This says everything :) LOL
You Are Classy |
 You are well mannered at all occasions. You believe in taking the higher road. You treat people with kindness and respect. You think before you speak or act. You know how to charm people and put them at ease. It's all about the right words or gestures. By having class, you make others feel more comfortable around you. |
Six...
1. Do you tend to accomplish more in the morning, the afternoon, or the evening?
I am a morning person so I make sure most of my tasks are done in the morning.
2. When there are bad thunderstorms outside, how much does this affect your ability to get things done?
I do not let these things affect me.
3. If you could set your own work schedule, would you go in earlier in the morning or later in the day?
I would rather go in earlier in the morning.
4. If you had the chance to work four ten-hour days and have a three-day weekend, would you prefer that over a traditional five-day workweek?
Yeah, Ill take that option!
5. Take the quiz: Are You Dusk or Dawn?
6. Where is the last place you remember taking time to admire a sunset or dusk?
By the shoreline :)

You Are Dawn |
 You are a naturally energetic and optimistic person. You can't wait to start each day. You hate to waste any time, and you jump out of bed in the morning ready to face the world. You enjoy working and have a fulfilling career. For you, nothing feels better than the sweet victory success. You are goal oriented and successful in every aspect of your life. You're universally ambitious. |

unique personalized wedding favors
Who doesn't want to have a grand and exquisite wedding? I guess all girls are dreaming of that. I did not have the grandest but I can porudly say that mine was beautiful and memorable - with all our friends and family as witness to that grandious event, I could not ask for more.
My husband and I have been hands on with the preparation leading to our wedding. From the gown to the caterers to the flowers and even to the unique personalized wedding favors that we gave away, we did ourselves. From the research to the canvassing to the purchasing. That was what made it more meaningful and special.
We might not have had the most colorful and glamorous wedding, but for me, it was the best...

sad cousin
My cousin is really having a hard time getting rid of all her zits! I swear, she has tried all sorts of treatments and have been to all kinds of dermatologists from north to south but to no avail. She was told by one of the better dermatologists that here is some kind of an adult acne that really need continuous treatment and regular visits to the doctors. She has attempted to fast and starve just because of this ongoing dilemma that she is having. I just told her that life is not all about acne. There is more to life than that, right?!

jack of all trades
My dad was sharing some good reviews on some industrial products that he got for my grandmother's carehome business. This has been an ongoing dilemma for him since he didn't have any clue on which company can give him the most effective products that he needed until he searched online and stumbles upon Reid Supply Company. He was just so satisfied that all the equipments that he had in mind were being offered by them - from clamps, to bolts and knobs and levers. This way, he doesn't need to waste time to go around the mall and look for this products individually. I can say the my dad is one happy, satisfied man after his discovery on Reid Supply Company.

rock and roll!
I should be sleeping by now. The launch date of my new LOB will be tomorrow and I need to be in the office very early to set up and make sure that everything's all set. I am quite excited and super happy that I can't seem to bring myself to lalaland. Especially now that I want to dream about the sleep number bed that my brother is telling me about. I just wish things will really turn out the way I want it tomorrow. It's going to be one fun, rock and roll time in the office!!
