Shop for Xbox 360 Games



0 shared thoughts
Want to be kept abreast of the latest in Xbox 360 games? I know I would! Even if we don't have any Xbox 360 game console, I find it really satisfying just to be informed of the latest games. A nephew has the Xbox 360 console, while my son has a PS3. Too bad they can't play together (or visit each other's house to play); my nephew and his family live in another country! But when they do get the chance to visit us, they have a great time playing video games. Hopefully when we visit them this year (fingers crossed!) they will have the chance to play together again.

Want to know where I go for the latest games? I visit Shopping.com and see which games are available these days. So far, the most talked about games, Halo 3 and Rainbow Six: Vegas, are now available. Having just known about this, I'm sure my nephew would love to know, too. Unless, of course, if he has already beaten me to it! Which usually happens. :)

Mortgage Payment Calculator - A Great Help!



0 shared thoughts

Hubby and I bought a house and lot a couple of years ago, and we were financing it through a government agency. The payment per month was really low and affordable, but we weren't so sold to the idea of paying it for 25 years! We tried computing how much we need to pay so that we will be finished at half the time they were allotting us, but I just didn't know how! Hubby tried explaining to me, but the numbers all seemed to be in jumbles.

Obviously having little knowledge about mortgage rates, credit reports, real estate, and home equity, I am glad I found this site that has a Mortgage Payment Calculator as well as a Free Mortgage Calculator. The site is really quite informative and is filled with these "calculators" that will help you compute your real estate transaction and investment needs. They even have a home mortgage loan dollar stretching programs wherein you can compute how much you need to pay each month so that your mortgage will be paid off within a certain date. That's really neat, and so helpful!

Know what we did to help us with our "problem"? My Father helped us out; he paid the mortgage for us! Of course, right now we're still paying him the amount, but this time no more interest! :)

Sunglasses, anyone?

Sunglasses aren't only just so you'd look good and gorgeous ... it is actually there to spare your eyes from the sun's glare. But of course, if you want your sunglasses to be different (more outrageous, more colorful, or more expensive, for example), then it's entirely up to you! I saw a person once who wore these really outrageously pink sunglasses, and it looked good on her! Hubby prefers them to be "discreet" but looks well-made and should be comfortable. Actually, I think choosing your own sunglasses is a personal thing; it usually reflects who you are and what type of person you are inside.

Want to make additonal money and look great at the same time? Wholesale Sunglasses in different designs (inspired by the brands) can be found over at CTSWholesaleSunglasses.com. Their high quality products costs less than the branded ones, so these are definitely more affordable, ensuring yourself some profit. Interested? Then go and check them out!

Shrike on a Wire

Last cloudy weekend we woke up to a very noisy bird outside our window (actually, not directly outside our window); it seemed to be scolding someone!

Then I saw this shrike; it apparently seemed to be calling/warning another bird.
Maybe a sparrow; we have lots of those! This shrike is almost always around, but there are only a few of them here.

Do click here for a gorgeous shot of this bird taken by Romy Ocon. Just gorgeous!!!!

Halloween Costumes for Kids



0 shared thoughts
When I was younger (that felt like eons ago! lol), Halloween was not really that popular, though we certainly read about it or watched it on television. It was a completely foreign concept for us kids, but one that we found interesting and entertaining at the same time. We certainly couldn't imagine ourselves parading across the street wearing scary costumes! However, through the years it has caught on; though mostly only in highly urbanized areas. Nowadays it is quite common here in the city to be seeing not only kids, but also adults, wearing costumes during Halloween. It all looks so fun! My son has expressed his wish to wear a Halloween costume this year, but I have no idea yet what he wants.

After searching through the internet for Halloween Costumes for kids, I found out about these NFL uniform sets that can also be made as a Halloween costume. I really like the idea of using these uniform sets since it is a far cry from the plastic (and uncomfortable) masks and long gowns that they could trip over. Instead, they will be wearing light and comfortable Halloween costumes that could also double as kids pajamas! Yes, it is that comfortable!

Want to know where you may be able to get a set of these NFL uniforms? Where else but at NFLUniformSet.com! So visit their site and check out the different uniforms available for your child; I'm sure you child will not only have fun with his costume, but he will be comfortable, too!
