Heads Up About My New .COM

Yesterday, I finally decided to buy my own custom domain for the sake of taking my blog to the next level (naks!). Actually, what I meant with that is to further increase my chance of getting more online gigs. Having my own .com simply means I am serious in blogging and investing an amount of money for this is evident enough. I already announced this news to my Facebook friends and knowing that this post will appear on Story Book Mom’s Official Facebook Page, (I would appreciate it very much of you would LIKE it too!) I know it would seem redundant.
Posting this entry is actually for my followers and readers. If you have been following me or I am included to your blog lists, I am requesting you to change my URL from http://mdelacena.com to http://www.mdelacena.com  I will also be changing my badge as soon as I find my collection of Digital Scrapbook freebies in CDs. I think I misplaced them when I did several number of CD burning in my cousin’s house after Holy Week.
As of now my blog’s status is still in transition but perhaps it won’t harm if you change those links now if you got time. Thank you and see you all around the blogosphere.

 

Going Back to Online Shopping Again

It’s been ages since I last shopped online especially in Multiply where I have my few trusted sellers. I thought I will be able to shop for some new clothes and accessories at Trinoma yesterday together with my friends but unfortunately, our date was cancelled.
Although I can drag hubby and our kids to the mall on a Sunday, I know it would be impossible again for me to look for stuff that I want. And so I remember to visit my Multiply account tonight and my eyes feasted on the latest products that my suki have in their online stores. I buy things there starting from clothes, sandals, accessories, bags, children and baby stuff and some home decorations too. However, I haven’t seen any Multiply sellers yet who offer products like Eco disposable plates or biodegradable utensils despite the swarm of items being offered and promoted there.
Upon reviving my interest in doing online shopping again, I am now checking one by one my fave online stores and preparing myself to haggle again:)
How about you? Do you prefer shopping online or walking-in to department stores?

 

Earthquake at South Island of New Zealand

Another unfortunate event.. an earthquake occured at New Zealand today. I just read from a friend’s Facebook page that she is dead worried about her husband who is currently on board in a ship near the country and said there are still some after shocks.
A 6.3-magnitude earthquake ripped through Christchurch, New Zealand, on Tuesday afternoon, causing multiple fatalities as it toppled buildings onto buses, buckled streets and damaged cathedrals, authorities said.
New Zealand Police announced on the agency’s website that a large-scale evacuation of the central city was under way. According to the news release, the earthquake killed an undetermined number of people at various locations around the city, including passengers on two buses crushed by buildings that had fallen on them.
TVNZ reported that the 147-year-old Christchurch Cathedral’s spire had toppled, Christchurch Hospital was being evacuated and the airport was closed.

I Gotta’ Love Milk

I hate the tingling sensation I feel whenever I drink milk. But when I got pregnant with my eldest son, I was forced to drink Anmum milk as my OB’s advice. I can even remember how I tried to skip drinking it but I have no escape from my husband because before I can even think about it, he was already handing me a full glass. His sermons were still vivid in my ears until now, as if it was recorded in a digital voice recorder. I thought I’ll be over that dilemma but when I decided to breastfeed my eldest son, hubby insisted that I should drink milk regularly. And from then on up to this moment that I am still breastfeeding my youngest daughter (she’s one year and eight months), milk has become a staple drink for me. It’s a good thing that there are lots of ready to drink fresh milk in the market today unlike before where you have to the mixing of milk and sugar in a glass of warm or cold water with a stirrer to get the right blend of taste.

 

Barbie Giveaway: Contest I Can’t Miss

I saw my fellow blogger who joined in this contest and upon seeing the prices, I told myself this will be my 2nd time to participate in a blog give away (I didn’t win in the 1st one though).
