A Homemaker’s Diary

Heard this on radio while driving to Mc Donalds to buy Prosperity set for Hubby who was at home having fever. I should have bought Anuar Zain’s new album, very mushy and sentimental…heh! I wish someone would share the original video clips of his new songs on YouTube, I thought this would do for now since it has the lyrics for those who like to sing along.

How would you like to invest in gold coins instead of the usual fixed cash deposit, mutual funds or any other type of investment available in the market?

Personally if given the chance and enough cash, I would think that investing in gold, in any form - jewelry, bullions, or coins would be a terrific idea because from my observation the value of gold in the market never drop and forever increasing, unlike the value of cash or foreign exchange.

But of course if you would like to invest in gold coins for example, make sure you go to the reputable gold, silver and precious metals investment leader like Monex Deposit Company (MDC). Just as they said on their website, buying gold coins is a convenient method for wealth protection and profit potential.

Check out their site and see which is your choice, whether to buy the pure 24k gold Vienna Philharmonic, American Buffalo, or Canadian Maple Leaf coins, or other monetary bullion coins like the Krugerrand or the US American Eagle.

“I learned about family tonight - They are not always the ones who love you the most, sometimes it’s the family that you make for yourself.”

I can’t say that I follow every episodes of Ugly Betty but those that I managed to watch, I think I like them. I wish I have a family like hers, one that accepts and loves her as she is, never expecting more than what she could be.

It doesn’t matter what the whole think about you, whether you look and dress up like a Pinata or not, or those bushy eyebrows make you look like a hideous girl next door. What matters is the unconditional love and support that a family should provide, regardless how disappointing you make them feel.

Maybe if I was born in a family with an illegal immigrant dad and a knocked out sister, my family will be proud of me.

To all parents out there, every night before you go to sleep, do you ever wonder how you make your children feel tonight - with your words, your act towards them?

And people ask me, why I hesitate to have kids..sigh!

Ever since I’m touching 30 in no time..huhu..I’ve been thinking that perhaps my skin needs antioxidant kind of treatment apart from the usual - cleanse, tone and moisturize regime. Reading about the new products made with pure fruit oil extracted from “Gâc” (Momordia Cochinchinemis Spreng), a native fruit of Vietnam makes me wonder whether this is the product that could help my skin.

The R.G. Skin Revitalizer, a bright-red fountain of antioxidants have all the natural ingredients to protect your skin against damaging free radicals. With this daily skin nourishment, it will provide nutrient support for strong cellular rejuvenation and help to protect your skin from the inside out.

Reading more about the antioxidant in the FAQ section prompt me to share the info with the readers. Yes, it’s like the buzz words nowadays when it comes to health and cosmetic care, but do you what is so important about antioxidant?

Ever noticed what happens when metal is being exposed to air? Oxidation occurs. The free-radicals which are unstable molecules that try to become stabilized by taking electrons away from other stable molecules degenerate our body’s individual cells like air oxidize metal. Oxidative stress occurs for example when our body gets exposed to the sun or other environmental factors.

What the antioxidants do are donating their electrons to the unstable free-radicals, giving them back their stability without causing any damages to themselves. When your body uses antioxidants from the food you eat for example or from the skincare you apply on your skin, it keeps the free-radicals under control.

So do you think I could use some help from this nature’s gift to the women of Asia, to help nourish my skin with its rich supply of carotenoids? Well, who knows if we don’t try, right?

After waiting for the Archival Mist from EK Success to arrive, I finally can start assembling the layout of the bungatelur.com newspaper cutting. With scrapping newspaper cutting what really important is I need to make it acid free so that it could be preserved and won’t turn yellow with the aging process.

The ribbon sample from Ribbon Boutique arrived together with the long awaited Tsukineko pigment ink - Brilliance Dew Drop in pearlescent Rust. In fact even the guy at the postal service has recognized me for collecting overseas parcel almost every week now..huhu! That particular day, I collected 5 parcels all sent by all the eBay sellers..heh! I was hoping that I have gold tone but rust would do for now. I matted the newspaper clippings and inked the edge of the mat papers with the Rust ink.

The thing is with the clip frame from IKEA, I need to have at least 3 pieces of patterned papers. And I only have two at most in my collection. So after a quick spree in Papier, The Curve last weekend, these Perhaps orangey tone from Basic Grey would go nicely with the Queen & Co orange felt fusion border.

Personally I prefer something more embellished than this layout style, but since I can’t make it budge under the glass top of the frame, I decided to save my ideas for some other pages later.

Now the frame is finely displayed on my art shelf. Maybe I should nail it to the wall because every time it’s getting very windy I get so scared that it will fall off from the shelf.
