Luxury home and garden decor.

Having a house filled with beautiful decorations must be a dream for many women and men too. If you are one of those who really enjoy to decorate their homes and gardens, then you must visit Upside Living. They have plenty of wonderful home decors and garden products. They also offer quality unique gifts from around the world. I believe you would be simply mesmerized by the various items they have, just as I did.



You should check out their Italian Pottery collection. From dinnerwares to wall plates. Further, since mother's day is just a couple of days away, perhaps you would want to check out their unique gifts collection. They had them categorized. Gifts for baby, for men, for women, for wedding, for other special occasions and more. You will definitely find something that you would love.

Anyway, when you decorate the interior of your home, you also have to make sure exterior looks good too. The garden. At Upside Living, they offer numerous fine garden products that you can choose from. Windchimes, Tiki torch, fire pits to name a few. Windchimes has always been a favourite of mine. I can not imagine a garden without windchimes.


What I have mentioned here is just the tip of the iceberg. They have more to offer. So check out their website to see more.


A song that relates to your life.

There is one song that somehow relates to me. Well not only me but together with my husband. "You're still the one" by Shania Twain. :) Reason is, before we got married, we had to go through a long distance relationship. That lasted 4 years. His friends, my friends, his mom thought it would be better to just find someone else. But hey we made it.Heh, don't mean to be mushy. :) What's your song?

Fenster School.

Having a teenage child who has difficulties focusing on their studies can be devastating to parents. Further with so many social problems among teenagers due to influence of their peers, made things more difficult for parents to help their children. Not only because parents do not have the experience in handling such situations but they may also have other important family matters to focus on. Ordinary high school may not have the know hows on how to help these kids. That is when it is appropriate to find for alternative high schools in Arizona that has experts to handle underachieve teens.

That is when Fenster School comes into the picture. This boarding school has one main purpose, that is to help these kids to get back on track. Help them grow their self-esteem, learn to take responsibility for their own actions, achieve academic success, earn a high school diploma and finally, continue their studies to a higher level.

It is better to help them now, and not when it is a little bit too late.

Spring Cleaning.





Weather has been very good these past few days. No rain, cool weather and a little bit of sunshine. Looking at the windows I think it's about time I do a little Spring Cleaning. I mean a thorough cleaning. Last time I cleaned them was few weeks back. Things get dusty easily now I guess. Or in winter you don't notice too much because it would be too cold to clean them.The neighbour is beating a rug out side the window now. :)

Of course have to clean everyday. Must. Bonnie's toys would be everywhere, crumbs, yogurt spill, pudding, and other things if I don't clean, the place would be as if just hit by Hurricane Bonnie. Children are at their messiest at this age.I don't think I can clean everything at one time though, would be a back breaking chore. LOL I've put Bonnie down for a nap. So, just this post and another one, and off I go to do the cleaning.

The kind of advertisers I'd like to advertise for.

Since SocialSpark.com is rather new, it is still looking for more advertisers to use SocialSpark's service, to get bloggers to advertise for them. I, for one am very happy to be a part of SocialSpark. Not only because I can make money, but also read a lot about products and services. Many that are quite new to me.

My blog is in a way, about anything and everything, but most of the times about the things that I am interested in or that I think might interest visitors. However, I personally would like to write more about products and services that relates to women and children. Not only because I am a woman and have a child, but because most of my blog visitors are women and I believe many bloggers who are in SocialSpark are also women. Most of them I think are mommy bloggers. Perhap brands like L'oreal, Maybelline, Mothercare, Osh kosh b'gosh etc.

This way, the advertisers can kill 2 birds with one stone. Why? They can get more exposure for their products and services, and also, they might even get the women bloggers to become a customer or client. That is just my humble opinion.

Nevertheless, it would be a real pleasure to write something you have experience with or you know a little about, or you can relate to.

Retro ipod alarm clock.


One thing that is undeniably good about ipods is that, they have many accessories. If you are an ipod owner or going to get one, you might want this too. An ipod alarm clock, so you can wake up to your favourite music. It works as a dock and as a charger. Suitable for most ipod except ipod shuffle. I wonder when creative lab is going to come up with more accessories for its creative zen player.

Sell items on ebay the easier way.

One of the places I go to when shopping online is ebay. I find it more convenient because most of the sellers are willing to send the items here. Further, the prices are sometime a lot cheaper than any other websites due to its auction feature. Not to mention the interesting things you can find there, that you can not find anywhere else online. Fancy a mickey mouse collectible toast? Yes, a real toast that has a picture of mickey mouse on it. Or where else can you buy a potato that looks like a head of a poodle? These people sell everything!

I like to "window shop" on ebay. Looking at the items sold and the prices. One item I found that was sold at quite an astounding amount is this painting, sold at $350,000.




They don't only sell cheap stuff on ebay. Anyway, if you would like to sell items on ebay that you do not need, but just do not have the time to handle the questions from potential buyers, or to handle the shipment, you can get iSold It to do the selling for you. Just drop the item that you want to sell on ebay at the nearest iSold It shop, they will evaluate the price of your item by doing some quick research online, and check it in, but not without your instructions on the details you want to be inserted on ebay listing. They will give you a receipt and send you on your way. Then they will start taking photographs of your item and list it on ebay. After it being listed they will send you the url of where you can view your item being auctioned on ebay.

Once your item is sold, they will collect the payment for you and ship the item to the bidder who won. When the transaction all complete they will send you a check or send to charity of your choice if you want it so. Of course there will be a commission for them. That is most probably why you may only sell items that has a minimum value of $75 if you want their help. So items like the above art, is an ideal item you should send to these guys to handle the selling for you.

Daily photos.

I sometimes check the daily photos websites. Especially of cities in Malaysia and also Budapest. Here's today daily photo of Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Budapest, Hungary. Unfortunately I can only choose Petaling Jaya photo because the other daily photo blogs are not frequently updated. Some even stopped posting since last year. :(






Seems like we get, not the best view of both cities today. But there are prettier sights. Though fond I am of my country, I never liked the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. I simply do not like big cities. I came from a rather small community back in Johor, South of Malaysia.

Budapest has many beautiful buildings, more than you can find in Kuala Lumpur. Well, Budapest has been around longer than Kuala Lumpur. While Kuala Lumpur, in my opinion is a little disorganized clutter of a city. LOL When ever my father drove up to Kuala Lumpur, we always end up lost and get caught in the traffic jam. Maybe it was just my father? He he he. However, even if I didn't like that city, I miss it now.
