My mom likes to keep her mug collection on display. She teaches a lot of seminars and gets mugs and certificates as a form of thanks on her amazing lectures. She has three shelves of these mugs, just for display, and she has a mini section on these shelves where she keeps our family’s trophies.

Well I haven’t really achieved a lot of trophies. Our main contributor would be my third sister. She’s quite gifted in the artistic department and has represented her school on a lot of competitions. She’s amazing and I’m proud of her.

Even though she hasn’t gotten any of those prestigious college degrees, and everyone else tried to bring her down by belittling her, she was still able to prove her worth and her talent, and my parents couldn’t be more proud of her.

See, believing in yourself and what you are capable of can get you far in life. Don’t give up on your dreams, and you might be lucky like my sister!

While watching TV, I saw this shampoo commercial wherein one of the line of the actress there is this, “You know what my mom always told me… look your best always, you’ll never know who you’ll run into….”

Well guess what? You should want to look your best not only because you might run into someone you know (e.g. the apple of your eye), but also because your appearance affects the way you think and how others reacts to you. You see, based from one of the best books I have recently been re-reading (The Magic of Thinking Big)…

”Your appearance talks to you and it talks to others. Whenever someone looks at you, make certain it says, ‘Here is a person who has self respect. He’s important. Treat him that way.’”

Especially in this era wherein you pretty much have everything and anything customized, you do not have any excuse for not being able to look your best. Even the “I’m vertically challenged. I can’t find any clothes that fit me.” is no longer an excuse. With all the stores out there, it’s guaranteed you will be able to find a gorgeous plus size party dress that is flattering to your built.

Moreover, when you LOOK your best, you will THINK and ACT your best. This helps you start your day right. So before you go out of your house tomorrow, check yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this, “Am I looking at my best today?”

While reading various articles on the wonderful world wide web, I found out that 5th wheel insurance isn’t just as simple as buying another wheel and attaching it to the back of your car and hitting the road.

As much as people assume, auto insurances do not exactly cover what people need. So most of the websites that I have browsed recommend getting a specific insurance for your fifth-wheel trailer that can help you in any valid situation while you’re out traveling with your family and friends.

It helps a lot– reading articles from the world wide web! Haha, I found out a lot of things about things that I normally just overlook or disregard. I highly recommend you guys to start browsing the world wide web. Information has never really been this easy to access to everyone. My friends even used to joke around and say things like, “Why do we need to study when everything we need can be found on the internet?”. Hahaha. It is a good point, but mostly just said for humorous purposes. Haha!

When I was four my dad started buying a lot of musical instruments.

Apparently he wanted to start a band but he couldn’t find the right members, so he told my mom about his frustrations, and they figured they’d give teaching their kids how to play instruments a shot. I started learning how to play the guitar, my younger sisters learned the bass, the drums and the keyboard.

My dad bought a pa system and set it up at home. He made my younger sister sing and set up the effects so you can hear her voice even when the entire band plays. He got us a voice instructor so we can vocalize and reach higher octaves. The sound system we had at home was amazing, even our neighbors started flocking to our backyard just so they could hear us play.

I guess music will always be a part of my life because of this upbringing. :)

You know how my sister has done all sorts of things to her body to make her more beautiful? She has about five piercings on places that I’m not even sure I’m ready to see, two tattoos, and she’s thinking about getting eyelash growth procedures. I’m not even sure how the last one works, but I’ve always found women with long, beautiful eyelashes intimidating.

There’s just something about long eyelashes that makes me want to stare into people’s eyes and wonder about things, mostly trivial things, like what is this person like? Or, is this person interesting enough to make me want to actually get to know them long enough to become friends?

I know, I’m weird sometimes. What features or things in a person gets you drawn to them, or intimidated, or intrigued? Share it with us! I’m sure I’m not the only one with issues like this! Hahaha!

I have been looking for a Tablet for the longest time. I recently started drawing for my friends at the moment since I figured that I needed to start practicing before I actually doodled on my bedroom walls. I intend to fill my bedroom walls with doodles of me and the things I love, to commemorate this time of year, and all of the experiences I’ve had with it.

I don’t know why I chose this year specifically, but I think it’s a good choice, so far. My friends always told me that I had this talent for making doodles, I normally drew random things that come to mind when I am passing time, and whenever someone would pass by they’d compliment my drawings.

Do you have any specific brands to recommend? I don’t really have a lot of friends that draw.. I’d greatly appreciate your help.

For some reason I just keep on thinking about insurance and how important they are. Look at my recent posts! Most of them are about insurance, lately.

My roommate in college started messaging me because apparently she stumbled across this blog and noticed how intrigued I am by insurance companies and what services they had to offer, so she linked me to Wholesaleinsurance.net and asked what I had to say.

I haven’t really given it much thought, I only browsed through the website for a few minutes, and I don’t really want to judge a company based on its website and what it has to say alone, I’d rather hear from its customers what kind of service they have, and if it’s any good.

Do I have any readers out there that have been under this company? I’ve heard a lot of great things about this company, and I’d like to hear more from those who experienced their service firsthand. Please comment on this post! :) Thank you.
