Luneta or Rizal Park is one of the famous parks in the Philippines which is situated in the heart of Metro Manila and named after our national hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal. It is famous for Filipino families to spend time with each other every weekend. There are food chains around the area but mostly visitors bring their own food and drinks for budget purposes. I attended several activities held in Q...

I love trivia games, so when this one came out late in 2006, I had to have it. Each player gets a a card that says "fact" on one side and "crap" on the other and 8 tokens. Each player takes turns reading a question card. The other players make their call with their fact or crap card. If you are right, you get another token; if you are wrong, you have to put one of your token...

If you like the television show, Deal or No Deal? like I do, you will enjoy playing this game on the computer.  When I first spotted the game at Target, I thought, why not try it?  It's only $10.  When I got home and installed the game on my computer, I was hoping the game would be as fun as the television show.  To my surprise, it was more fun since I was the contestant...

Read or Die is an OVA (Original Video Animation, sort of like a movie split up into parts) of a manga (Japanese comic book) called, obviously, Read or Die. It is about a secret agent named Yomiko Readman and her adventures with the British Library, who asks her to retrieve a book stolen by a criminal organization bent on destroying humanity. Even if you have no previous experience with the mang...

DOAX was the first game that I played for the xbox. It may sound weird but I thought that it was sort of enjoyable. Its not much of a volleyball game as it is a "fanservice" game. If you all don't know already this is a spinoff of the original Dead of Alive series. What you really do in the game is watch hot girls in hot bikinis. You start off with a character and throughout you e...

Me and my fiancee got this slow cooker as a gift for my bridal shower. We love it. It is so easy to clean up. It is easy to travel with because it has clips on the side and a spill resistant gasket around the lid. Ours came with little tags that you can slip into the side. So people know whats in the slow cooker. We do a lot of Cooking in the slow cooker. We were going for the stainle...

C You Today or C You in the Morning Cream This face cream made by Yes to Carrots is great for my dry-to combination skin.  It’s thick and feels like buttah but doesn’t make my face look oily in the slightest.  It’s full of antioxidants (vitamin A, vitamin C, green tea extract, pomegranate peel) and it has ginkgo biloba to increase circulation in your skin.  It a...

It is 2 storeys high filled wi...

This was the first book I read by Candy Calvert in her Darcy Cavanaugh Mystery series.  Darcy is an ER nurse, and she finds herself on a wedding cruise as one of the bridesmaids.  The cruise is loaded with friends of the groom, firefighters who have not outgrown the habit of playing raucous and bawdy practical jokes on one another.  Darcy is happy to get away from her hectic life...

I've never been shy about admitting that I color my hair.  Mostly because I like the variety. Summer time is for lighter hair, closer to my natural light brown and winter is for darker hair - at least for me.  More often than not I tend to get my hair color from a box and not a salon.  It's a rather easy process, so why not save myself $85 bucks. The last time I went to a...

The Questions on the cards are asked, and the first to respond that the statement was fact or crap will loose or get tokens, and then less for everyone else. The game is quick and fast paced, lettin...

Most people have visited a Ripley's museum at some time in their life.  I recently had the chance to take my family to St. Augustine and visit the Ripley's they have.  I have a handicap daughter who uses a wheelchair type device when we have to go on outings that require her to walk too much.  I had it in the Ripley's museum and the accommodations were not the greates...

I was getting sick and tired of doing my nails and having the color begin to wear away after only one day! I bought this Orly Bonder Base Coat nail polish and figured I would give it a try. It is actually a rubberized base coat designed to grip the nail polish color. When applied and let dry, it has a sort of sticky texture. This texture is what grabs and holds the polish to make it last longer...

The Deal or No Deal DVD game by Imagination is basically a glorified board game based on the hit television show. It's a fun, easy family game. All of the components of the tv show are in place, including Howie Mandel as host, the beautiful ladies with suitcases and the clapping crowd.The great thing about this game is that all ages can play it. Even the youngest child can "pick a case...

I ran into Bjs for a couple of things the other day and decided to check out the lighting section to see if they had anything for my kitchen, which is in dire need of some sort of strip light… They did not have what I was looking for, but they did have an interesting pack of bulbs by Feit Electric. These bulbs are called ecobulbs - energy saving compact fluorescents. What is different ab...

Last year I broke my arm, wrist and several bones in my hand. I have some nerve damage from my injury, and my hand is always cold. The bitter winter wind makes the feeling even more severe. My mom and dad were worried about me not dressing warm enough, and as my dad puts it my "cold dead hand."They sent me a pair of Outdoor Research winter gloves last week, and these are absolutely fa...

After the original, only one warlord from their mission still stands, so obviously the ones still alive will have to continue their mission.Spoiler alert: due to the fact...
