I finally got my prize from Grendha shoes last week. This is one of the two prizes I’ve won at the PMC 2nd Grand EB last  November.

Grendha Amora

Although I love its stylish and comfy design, slippers are simply not meant for me because I don’t have a good-looking feet. I’m more comfortable wearing flat shoes or sneakers on ordinary working day. So, who will be the lucky girl to get this? My daughter. She loves this slipper a lot. It fits her slim and flawless feet.

I’m actually eyeing a lovely pair of flat shoes I’ve seen on their FB page. I hope they have my size.

Grendha is exclusively distributed by ELRO Corporation, Grendha Amora Ad is available in leading department stores and boutiques nationwide. For more information on Grendha, check www.grendhaphils.com or visit Grendha Philippines on Facebook.

I’m thankful that Scotch-Brite agreed to be one of our sponsors at the recent PMC 2nd Grand EB. Because of their giveaway items I don’t need to buy a month supply of home cleaning products especially the ones I use to clean the dishes and a sturdy sponge to clean our bathroom.

A few days after the mommy event, I scrubbed the bathroom wall using Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Bathroom Scrub Sponge and diluted powder soap. After rinsing off the suds, I’ve got a squeaky clean wall. The tiles look as if they were newly installed. Besides the colorful designs, Scotch Brite has easy-grip design for easy use. Now I’ve found a new cleaning partner in Scotch Brite.

Other Scotch-Brite products that I received were Scotch-Brite Kitchen Gloves, Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad, Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Antibacterial Scrub Sponge, Scotch-Brite Light Duty Scrub Sponge with fun designs.

Banners are helpful when you want to broadcast anything like promote a blog or a website. Catchy banners drive more visitors to a new site. For print media, there are newspaper banners. It is the main part of the newspaper and carries the most important story of the day. And then there are pop-up banner for websites. Sometimes people get irritated or annoyed by pop-up banners because they distract them from viewing a website. There are many ways to get rid of pop-up banners one of which is through web proxies/proxy servers for web browsers.

I saw this picture from my old file. I’m not sure where this one was taken. I only have National Museum or the National Historical Institute in mind as source of this picture. Anyway, this chest ornate has caught my interest. I thought it was a treasure chest that stores gold bullion. But a brief note at the back of the picture tells that the chest was used as repository of the 1935 Constitution and serves as one of the original collections of the Museum. The showcase also contains the copy of President Manuel L. Quezon’s Oath of Office and various documents from the Commonwealth Period.

I don’t have a fix schedule for cleaning our modest home lately, but I make sure I keep the sink clean. It is in the sink where I place the raw food for washing so I make sure to clean it thoroughly after every food preparation. Otherwise, I’m attracting bacteria to come in contact with my utensils and the raw food itself.

We are using a stainless steel sink at home. We have been using it for more than 11 years now. When we buy a new sink in the future  I want an undermount sink from Mr. Direct Sinks and Faucets. There are double bowl type undermount sinks at Mr. Direct. I prefer the style because it’s convenient to wash vegetables and fruits in it, or poultry and fish at the same time. Besides steel sink are easy to clean and maintain and would surely last a long time.

I received an invitation  from a US-based company that offers free products in exchange for writing reviews.  The requirement is simple you just have to register and then choose the product that you want to receive to review. You can also use the product as a give-away to your loyal followers.

Unfortunately, I did not qualify because the promotion is good for US and Canada only.

Anyway, you can check out the site here if you are interested.

I’m sharing here the links of reviews made by awesome blogger friends and marce on this site. The reviews were part of Pehpot and Kaye’s Blogversary Contest which will end on March 18. I’m sure everyone’s excited to find out who will bag the biggest PayPal cash during the announcement of winners. I think I have an idea who the lucky person(s) is. Don’t forget to share.

Ok, here’s what they write about Pen, paper, pan. Visit the site of these ladies. Enjoy reading!

Have you experienced dropping off something inside your car while driving? And in effort to retrieve the item you almost hit another car in front of you? That’s too bad because you could be injured or the person from another car!

Can this be prevented? Yes, it can be prevented. Car owners abroad are talking about this new invention called Drop Stop® or car wedgie. It fills the gap between car seat cracks or the gap between the middle console and front seat. This is where little objects such as keys, phones, change, jewelry, makeup, bottle caps, pens, gum, among others dropped and take your eyes off the road for a few seconds.

Approximately 80 percent of all accidents and about 93 percent of all rear end accidents are caused by these little distractions, experts said. Trying to retrieve items dropped in the gap can cause you to lose focus and possibly get into accident.

Inventors of Drop Stop® said the product does not only prevent objects from falling, it could also help save lives.

Drop Stop® is made of polyester fibrefill in a neoprene casing. It easily stretches over any seat belt and into any size gap without damaging the product.

Once you fit in the gap blocker it creates a dark shadow no matter what color your car’s interior. This product fits cars and trucks of all sizes.

Drop Stop® can be purchased online for only $19.95 or a saving of 40 percent.

We are planning to sell our desktop and replace it with another laptop to conserve energy consumption. Hubby bought our second-hand laptop through Classified Ads. It’s easier to transact with online seller because you can discuss about the specs and price of the item right away.  Some of our gadgets here at home are bought online and they are still in good condition except for the first digital camera that we bought five years ago. Hubby said he will post the specs of the unit on olx.com soon.

The site is very convenient to browse.  Anyone who wish to sell anything on the net from gadgets, vehicle, and house to services can post a classified ad. There is also personal category for those who seek friendship and personal development like tutorial and language courses.

When I want to check on anything for sale in our area, I just key in For Sale Quezon City in the search browser and I landed easily on the page that I’m looking for. That fast.

Hubby found this site useful for job seekers as well. If you live anywhere near Makati area, just type in Jobs Makati and you might discover your dream job waiting for you. I notice an ad looking for singers bound for Hong Kong. I wish I could relay this to my former schoolmate who dream of making it big overseas. The gal has a wonderful voice only that she lacks exposure.

Anyway, wish us luck when we post our own ‘desktop for sale’ ad at oxl.com.
