Designer platinum rings!

The most popular wedding bands are the dome or half round wedding bands. This isn’t what a lot of people want. They want a designer platinum ring. Designer rings are just like the name implies, a wedding band with a design. Often times there is a specific designer but also it could be the design. For example the Newport style is a designer ring that many different manufactures make. There are a lot of different designer rings. In fact there are hundreds of different designs. It is often hard to pick the best one but it is much better to have a choice.

Another type of cool wedding bands are palladium rings. Palladium is much like platinum. They are a very rare precious metal. The cost of the rings is heavily connected to the raw price of palladium. This means you could look at a ring and then go back 6 months later and the price will be much higher or lower. So if you are looking for a 6mm palladium ring you will want to look at the designer styles as well.

Career path

With the 2012 fast approaching ,, new technology and new trend are coming ,, my nephew and nieces are studying computer engineering, I always encourage them to study hard and finish their courses ,, they will surely find a great job in the future ,, looked at Tester Jobs and most of them are technology related jobs . It would be great for them ,, I even tell them that they can apply here in Australia and they can migrate and stay here with me , while they get settled .. They are heaps of opportunity awaiting them ,, ahh its nice to be you ng and single ,, to have so many choices ,, but with saying that they also need to learn responsibility and need proper guidance

Need to start organizing

Its the time of the year ,, time for big SALE just before Christmas for those getting ready for the big day ,, when you can no longer find a parking in the shopping centre ,, and when you can hear Christmas songs being played on the radio ,,then its time for you to panic ,, panicking is what I should be feeling at the moment ,, we are having a big Christmas party in 2 weeks time ,, more than 70 people are coming ,,, Im feeling so slack at the moment and what I said I should go and start shopping ,, haven't even done my Christmas shopping for my kids yet ,, went to the shops and the place is jam packed ,, every check out has long queue ,, hmmm ,, noting they have a Retail POS System on their machines ,, inventory of stocks for sure ...

Anyway ,, good thing the kids are still in school till next week ,, I can go shopping by myself , which would be easier than tagging along kids who wanted to just stop at the toy store and start harassing me with "buy me this Mum!"

Bakken Oil Companies

An Uncle of mine undeniably is very successful with his career and works tirelessly in the oil rich land of Saudi Arabia. I was fascinated with their rich and lavish lifestyle having seen it during my teen age years. I usually spend time with my cousins and we all grew up very close . Every time their Dad was home for vacation, I also received shares of his gifts for the family.

I wondered then how it is to have a dad who worked in bakken oil companies? Our inquisitive young minds learned that the company like UG Oil and Gas Center is an exploration company spanning the globe exploring vast receives of oil, gas and petroleum. Natural gases abound in oil and natural gas fields in the different parts of the globe.  New and better drilling technology yielded oil boom and and high return investment and one expert on this field are Bakken oil companies that extensively deals with gas extractions in vast exploration wells and it's find produces abundant supply of energy beneficial to all.  And that Uncle Tim has been part of the oil exploration team for decades already. He had traveled far and wide with the team to uncover the earth of it's reach resources. And Saudi Arabia known to be an oil rich country became his final destination as he was assigned in the Eastern province since 1990. Apparently, his company knew that there are more oil reserves that hasn't been uncovered yet and their exploration work becomes more and more aggressive. Rich oil reserves make one country progressive because of good tax revenues the government receives. Uncle Tim has been receiving his fat and handsome pay and benefits from the company.

All his exploration works with the team paid off! UG Oil and Gas Centre will continue to explore the globe and Bakken oil companies is here to stay, helping people and the economy having benefited greatly with the precious finds.

Taking photos again

For the past few months ,, I am getting my groove back into photography its been awhile that I had been neglecting my camera , and when I started taking photos of the cakes and cupcakes that I made ,, I am loving my camera again,,, I can take 20 - 30 photos in one session and badly need camera batteries rechargeable , its a learning process for me ,, I am no professional photographer but just a newbie and enthusiast ,, so i am willing to learn and open to all tips and information,, but above all ,, I love what I do ,, and that is the most important tool of all....

What to do next week

40...

I was having a chat with my friend form overseas through FB , its bee awhile since I last talked to her ,, we talked about how things going on in her life,, she is already 40 and still single and I was quite surprised that she did not end up marrying ,, but I guess its not yet the end ,, she is still hopeful that she will find the right person for her ,, she is looking for a new career ,, browsing through Networking & Telecomm Jobs ,, she has her own net cafe but she said that she had enough because she is not making money at all ,, that is why she is looking for a new job,,,, she swears that she is finding it hard to find a job , being 40 ,, most of the company that she applied for at considering an age limit ... geezzz I feel sorry for her ,, knowing that she is such an efficient and hard working person .. She wanted to go overseas if she can but again age is a big factor ,, if only she had known about it ,, she would have done things differently ..

Is being 40 a Hindrance in Life ??????

Taking Care of Your Patio Furniture

During summertime, the backyard is probably one of the most used areas around the house. With weekend parties and family gatherings, this is the best place to relax, have fun and enjoy good food. Now once the grill is all set and ready you can start the party. But during this season it is also very important to take good care of your patio furniture. Since these decors act as highlights to the outdoor, it is only vital to keep them in a good condition.

Patio furniture can be made using different types of materials and this is always the first thing to consider when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. Wood is one material that should always be well-maintained. Extreme weather conditions along with regular wear and tear could easily damage the item; make sure to apply a weather proof sealant to protect your wood furnishings from rain or too much sunlight.

Make it a practice to constantly examine and check for damaged or roughed spots. Once you notice one, apply the sealant right away to avoid any further damages. Restoring patio furniture is easy if you have the proper tools and techniques. Reading a few home and garden magazines or doing a little online research could help you learn more about how you can take care of your backyard furniture.

What to give.....

Queens birthday here in Australia had just passed ,, hmm what's the next occasion ?? ahhh Fathers Day in September !! that's good ,, it will be a good time to start organizing it ,, last month was my hubby's birthday and he did not ask for anything for his birthday ,, and the best thing he did was bought me a gift instead ,, yea ,, a gift for me on his birthday.,,, I am into baking at the moment and he bought me a gorgeous Red Kitchen Aid ,,,, ahhh that was such a perfect gift .

I know lucky me,, ... he is such a generous man,,, so for fathers day I am already looking for a gift ,, looking at some of fathers day gift baskets ,, some electronic gadget ,, tools , clothing , ahh for sure there would be plenty of ideas next month when all the shops start displaying Fathers day gifts ,, but this time it should be a thoughtful gift just for him...... he deserves it ....

Blue mode

Ohh I missed doing my shopping during the EOFYS ,,, gezzzz ,, what am I doing ,, the shopping bug is not around ,, I would love to get some new stuff,,, hmmm,, let me see,, an Ipad,, top netbooks , portable memory , new camera lens , a 60 inch plasma TV,,, ahhhhh what else,, yes the most important thing ..ahhhh I need money to buy those things !!! Times are tough and its time to tighten up our belts for a while...Winter time her in Oz and I just need to hibernate for a while,, its been very cold in our new house and I dont like being cold ,, I grew up in a tropical country and even though I migrated here for 11 years now,, my body is still not used to it,,, ahhhh warm sunshine is what I need ,, Winter makes me gloom and shopping mode is gone.......

Feeling cold

Its winter here in Oz ,, and gosh it is cold,, we just moved in to our new home and we live on an acreage ,, lots of space,, hill on the back and lake in front and trees all around and winter time here is just so cold ,, to top it all we don't have a heating system installed at home!!! the budget was tight and we have to sacrifice that but we are regretting it now hat we know how cold it is ,, we have some portable heating in the bedrooms ,, that would keep us warm at night time . We also set up an outdoor fire pit t so that we have friends over we can stay outside warming up on the fire pit , but for sure once that we can already afford to have split air conditioner we will book straight away .... but for now ,,I'm all rugged up and a warm coffee ahhh great ...

Weekend project

The weather this weekend was stunning !!  Sunshine all day and a bit warmer   a perfect winter day , so we just stayed all day at home,,   hubby finished our veggie patch ahhhhh   Im loving it , because we can just grow our own vegetables ready as soon as we need it ,went to the nursery to buy some herbs and fruit bearing trees , lime , lemon, mandarin and oranges ,,   its looking good and our list of what to do is being crossed out ,, I think hubby wanted to do most of the things outside first before he starts doing things inside the house , like installing 2 tv stands , installing the shower screen , painting the cornices and the doors , I can go on and on about the list but I dont want to sound like a nagging wife ,,LOL  but I know that things are going to get done ,, Patience is the answer .........

Nice day

Oh wow ,, its a glorious winter day this weekend,, unlike the past few days where we had a weird weather ,, rainy ,, cold winds and a snow fall in Blue Mountains , today the sun was warm enough to let the kids play outside and do my washing ,,Im not a fan of winter ,, since I grew up in a warm weather ,, my body is still accustomed to it ,, I would love to wear cool clothes, trendy womens sandals , shorts and feel the warmth on my body .. Winter gives me the blues ,, all wrapped up and shivering ,, I'm hoping that the fine weather will continue all through the week.

probably be staying at home tomorrow since hubby is finishing my veggie patch ,, yeah a veggie patch!!! the kids are so excited to plant something ,, but we might wait till Spring time to start planting ,, since we are going to have 6 of the veggie patches ,, hopefully kids will be enticed to try and eat different vegetables ,, that would be really good .

Sweet as......

Im into making cakes, cupcakes, cookies and that is my new hobby at the moment ,, net surfing and following other cake decorators is what I enjoy at the moment,, I get inspired and loving all the beautiful creations,, and thinking of going into cake decorating ,, ahh that would be very nice,, but as I try different recipes and designs , I often make cookies or cakes as a gift ,, I think its good because I can make it myself and people love it when they are given sweet gifts.. there are different occasions ,,it would be good for a birthday gift basket ,, halloween gift baskets , baby shower, or just a plain "try my creation "" That would be great because it is well appreciated and I love doing it ... I'll post some of my cupcakes to show off next time....

Games.. games...

My boy is so obsessed with games,, he likes LEGO and with that he likes to play PlayStation games ,, I am planning to upgrade to PlayStation 3 ,, there are more ps3 games , Im just concerned if ps2 games will work on ps3 console ,, since he has a vast collection of games ,, he also have Wii console ,, but it is strange that he doesn't like to play it ,, I don't know why ?? So it is just stuck in the cupboard , every now and then I encourage him to play it ,, since he moves a lot when he plays that game ,, maybe he just want to sit down and relax while playing ,, what a lazy boy ,,

Anyway ,, good thing is that we bought a new puppy for the kids ,, keeps them active ,, every time kids get back from school , I would tell them to take the puppy for a walk or just play with it ,, its good because they can be active and our puppy loves to run and chase the kids .. good exercise for kids who are always playing video games..

Setting up

Its been a while since I visited Hubby's work place ,, we have a business and my husband is the one running it,, I used to do the net banking and doing some filing at work ,, but I am now getting busy setting up my small business,, I still get updated with the things around the office , we have a secretary who is very efficient and good at keeping everything organized ,, I was looking at some paper work the other day that my husband took home ,, some are for disability insurance , bills and lease papers ,, checking if everything is Ok and if I need to do something about it ,, but it was good to know that my husband is right on track ,, everything is updated ,, so I will have to concentrate on my new venture , but it is going so slow,, I am overwhelmed with all the things to do .. anyway ,, I'm excited about it and I'll share it to everyone , I just need to do some more stuff.

From the top

We live in a property and we just love the open space and the view of our new house ,, we plan to have domestic animals on the property and we started off with a puppy ,,, then chickens would be next ,, lamb and sheep ,,, cows and kids are asking for a horse ,, but we are not sure about the horse ,, it would be nice to have one,, but for sure it will be too hard to look after ,, and kids would need proper gear ,, like riding helmets , riding clothes and so much stuff and the biggest hindrance is that our land is not flat ,, its a hill so it will be dangerous to ride there,,, so we might stick on lambs and chicken 1st .. It would be good for the kids so that they can learn to have responsibility about looking after animals ,, I know that once we have animals I will surely be the one who is going to look after most of the time,,,but the kids will just help me.

Here is the view from the top ...

I like this chair

Ahhh,,,,, Rainy day today ,, its a long weekend , and we spent the day out in the shops ,, we took the kids to bowling 1st then sushi for lunch and off to the shops to walk around ,, the shops is packed of people ,, avoiding the gloomy weather ,, no chance of spending the day outdoors,, ,, too much rain and hubby cannot finish all the things that needed to be done at home ,, we moved in almost 4 months now ,, but there are still heaps of things to do ....

I have tons of magazine clippings and pictures of things for hubby to do ,,, he is a handy man ,, cabinet maker by trade so it is a plus!!! One of the project that I like him to build is an Adirondack chair for me,,,

I have always been in love with this chair ,, cutting all the clippings about how to make it ,, but for sure there is now ay hubby can squeeze that project ,, so I might just look around and see how much it is .. It will look good in my verandah.... ahhhh someday I'll have it !!!

Setting up

Im sorry haven't updated the blog for awhile ,, been busy setting things up ,, thinking of putting up a business  a party business to be exact I have so much to do and things to consider ,, I am working with a friend and we are are going to be business partners ,, we are excited but also apprehensive on things,, there are things that we are worried about ,, questions to be answered ,, do we need to get an insurance   have to check on www.wholesaleinsurance.net  for this ,, do we need to set up a website ,, finding a business name and how to get it going ,,, arrgggg   I wanted to do it straight away but that's not happening soon,, our minds are scattered all over and we need to sit down and get more details and get organized.

Once we have the business started I will post some details and photos about it .. Wish me luck !

In our new house

We are now living in our new house for almost 3 months and so far so good,, there are still heaps of stuff to do .. children's wardrobe is not yet finished ,, my range hood is not yet fixed,, some windows pane are not yet painted,, massive backyard is not yet done ,,  but we knew all along that before we move in; things are still gonna be left out , we ran out of funds to finish some projects,,  and it might take a little while to finish them all ,, we will just concentrate on things that are necessary  we cannot borrow anymore money from the bank ,, hmmm we might sell some silver bullion bars    ,, or it would be nice to win a lottery !!!! Well, the most important things is that we love the house , the kids are happy in their new home and we are saving by not paying rent anymore .....

Dangerous ...

I was reading this story on ninemsn and I cant believe about this ,,, with all the buzz about planking ,, it is still happening... The story about planking had been going on the last few weeks and with all the incidents most of the victim need emergency medical assistance .
Last year my daughter showed a picture of his friend on FB laying face down and she thinks that it was an idiot thing to do ,, then now most of the teenagers are doing it ,,, geezzz what with the craze,, what a weird thing to do and now that they are doing dangerous stunts ,, I cant help but shook my head ....

story from ninemsn.com.au
A 48-year-old Sydney woman has suffered head injuries while demonstrating how to plank, during a discussion about the dangers of the stunt.

The woman fell from a 2m high garden wall after performing the planking demonstration at a friend's house in Kingsford last night.

An unnamed friend of the victims's told Nine News the incident happened during a discussion about the planking craze and its dangers.

"And it was all started why with you don't plank — and look what happened," she said.

The woman was taken to hospital suffering a fractured shoulder, head injuries and loss of consciousness.

The popularity of planking — which involves lying flat and face-down on top of an object and being photographed — has rocketed recently, but has also been widely condemned by authorities since a 20-year-old man fell to his death last week while attempting to pull the stunt on a balcony in Brisbane.

Chilly nights

Its gonna be a cold Winter here in Sydney,, ah for sure ,,, last week we had a a cold snap and its only Autumn ,,, we had a weather of 1 degree in the mornings.. My hubby and I went straight to the shops and bought 4 oil heaters for our room and the kids bedroom. We are all rugged up,, wearing bulky clothes and not feeling the best at the moment ,,, Winter time is the best time to eat and hibernate ,, yupp forget about the diet or the best muscle building supplement , we'll do it on Spring time...I like Winter ,, when we all just keep ourselves close to each other at night time while watching TV and with a warm blanket draped around us.... Keep my heart warm,,, have a cuppa and enjoy the chilly night .........

Trying to be warm

We are experiencing  a cold snap here in Sydney ,,,  gezzz  I am fee zing and to think that we just moved in to our new house ,, downside is we don't have a heating system installed yet ,, originally ,it was planned that we will have a gas fireplace  but due to constraint budget ,, it was not possible to have it ...  Our house is cold ,, it is a timber cladding house that looks like a Queenslander house ,, we have our garage underneath ,, so there is a breeze coming from below ,, although we have fabulous timber flooring , I love the look of our floor ,, we could have opted for laminated flooring  from the BestLaminate.net laminate floor    but I think we did a great job choosing our black butt flooring.



 Now all we have to do ,, is to get a potable heater ,, the cold breeze is just ridiculous at the moment ...  we are walking around the house with beanies and thick jackets .  This morning we installed some curtains that have thermal backing ,, it did help a little but we need to make it warmer..  It is still Autumn here and I can only imagine how cold it can be on Winter time ....  brrrrrrr.....

Still watching old shows

My hubby and I are so lame ,,, we are so left out and still watching the ER ,, we love the show so much ,, when we moved to our rental place about 2 years ago ,,, we didn't have access to Foxtel ,, so we missed most of the episodes of ER,, now that we are in our new house and have the luxury of pay TV we are watching re runs of ER on HITS channel.. gezzz,,,, ER is finished ,, yeah since 2009 hahahah I just found out by Goggle ,, but good thing because we watched the last episodes,, now I'm sad ,, I will surely miss the show ,, it was such a good show ,,, arrgggg too much ER re runs and that is affecting me ,,, kkk life insurance quote ,, I need that before I end up on ER in our local hospital ,, hmmm,, now what else to watch .. let me Sex and the city reruns or Seinfield ... I need to get a life ......... its so out of date ,, its embarassinvg,,, ok hand s up people if you love show !!!

Wanna be warm

Gezzz,,,,, its freezing herein Australia ,, yupp,, we are feeling the chilly night and Winter for sure is gonna be cold ,, and the worst part is our new house have no heater!!! Its absolutely ridiculous ,, we know that its gonna be cold here in the mountaiusn but not this COLD,, kids are wearing scarves, beanies and while I'm typing , my fingers are slipping because I am wearing hand gloves ,, all rugged up ,,bu we cannot do much but to just layer our clothes ,, don't know about the ducted reverse cycle air conditioning ,,, it will cost us a fortune,,
Ugg boots are out and big fleecy jacket is a must ,,but when I saw this really nice shoes ,, I just feel in love with this,, this will look good for my hubby an Ateliers Arthur Ourasi T Lifestyle shoes,, really cool .....


My big girl will love the Nike Lunar shoes,,, this will suit her style ,, and as for me ,, I will be happy and warm in my boots .....
