RockStar-Themed Party Cupcakes

My niece got baptized a few weeks ago and she had a rockstar-themed party celebration. I love her table centerpieces (rock guitar pink sunglasses) and her pink cupcakes – it tasted delicious too. It makes me excited to attend my friends’ kids birthday parties in a few weeks. My kids have a more active social life than their parents! (We don’t mind of course :)). One celebrant even got a pc tablet for her 7th birthday!

Frozen Margarita

We celebrated my father-in-law’s birthday last weekend and we talked and caught up with our relatives that night, talking about reward cards, health, our kids’ education and showbiz gossip over beer and cocktails.

Can you believe that this is my first alcoholic drink in more than a year? I ordered frozen margarita and didnt even manage to finish one glass of it without getting a buzz. I only drank half and stopped. I didnt want to get too drunk.

How to boost your signal with cell phone booster

A cell phone signal boosteris a device that is able to collect signal through their indoor and outdoor antennas, both for receiving and making calls. Aside from mobile devices, cell phone booster is also used in computer air cards for faster access.

The most common way to do this is to connect an antenna directly to your chosen device. The best-selling antenna in the market is the BlackCat Cell Phone Antenna. You can also opt to elevate and pole mount a cell phone antenna if needed. There is a specific adapter need to connect the antenna so be sure that you find the right one that fits your mobile or air card.

Another leading product is the Wilson 3 Watt Direct-Connect Cell Phone Amplifier. By adding this amplifier to the cell phone antennas, it will boost up the power and get higher signals.

In Case of Emergencies.

What circumstances constitute an emergency for you?

The husband and I try to categorize our spending, like paying for cash for everything else and only using the credit card for emergencies. What would emergencies mean for us? These would be hospitalizations, unexpected school expenses and death. However, we set aside about 50% of its credit limit to big purchases – and we snag them whenever there would be a 0% installment rate offered at malls, known as best credit card deals. We really think over it because we cannot get another big ticket item not unless the one we got is fully paid. So we usually just end up paying for it in cash. We really try to make sure our citibank credit cards maintain their good credit standing.

However, it is not too wise to charge every emergency to the credit card, since you might not be able to pay for it in full when it is due and this is where credit card interests, which are huge, kick in. It can become a potentially big problem if one does not know how to manage business credit cards. The point is, make sure that there is actual cash for emergencies and save the big ticket purchases when there is almost half of the amount in your savings.

San Jacinto Restaurant

They serve Chinese food – but their food is not the typical Chinese fare. The restaurant is surprisingly full all the time, and cashiers are ringing all the time (Im sure they follow the ach rules too).

My mom ate so much fatty foods that I am sure she needed to check her cholesterol the following day.

Here are some of the yummy food we were able to taste. My grandmother celebrated her 86th birthday there.

Sweet Treats – Ice Cream

I admittedly have a sweet tooth but I prefer cakes to ice cream. My daughter, however, loves ice cream so much. She can eat it everyday (she asks for it everyday actually). Whenever we go out, you can bet your life that she would ask for a cone from one of the kiosks or stalls you see in the mall. She really isn’t picky when it comes to the brand and flavors – as long as it is ice cream.

I was able to try out new flavors this month though. Haagen Daaz’s Dulce de Leche and Selecta Ice Cream’s Caramel Cheesecake. I got the Haagen Daaz treat thanks to a Deal Grocer offer, all I needed to do was provide a document imaging copy of my voucher and I get two flavors!

Haagen Daaz Dulce de Leche

Selecta Caramel Cheesecake

These two flavors are really for the sweet tooth! I usually can finish a pint (no kidding!) when I love the flavors but with these two, even if I did like them, I cannot bring myself to eat more than a few spoonfuls. They were too sweet!

Antonio’s

I was pretty excited to discover Deal Grocer offered deals from Antonio’s because 1) I have heard raves about this place but was scared it was out of our budget and 2) Its location is close to our house. I snatched up a couple of coupons intending to treat my parents as well. It was a good thing my camera didn’t need rechargeable aaa batteries as I was able to take pictures of the heavenly food.

Antonio’s is not all hype – that much I can tell. I am even willing to pay full price for it the next time we eat there.

Zucchini’s

I have failed to blog about our recent eating escapades. I was caught in making birth announcements for clients and then life got busier with trips and sickies in the house. Thanks to group-buying sites, we finally get to try some known restaurants at a fraction of what it would normally cost us.

I got this deal from Deal Grocer, getting it based from feedback from friends. Since the husband and I love steaks, I figured it was worth a try. We weren’t disappointed!

We had salad first:

Scallops Salad in Brown Butter
vanilla chili lime vinaigrette

And then came the steak – oh my – best steak evar!
