Here's an article I stumbled upon on the internet yesterday. The Frisky came out with a list of (as explained by the title) 30 things women should stop doing by the time they reach 30. Lets see whether you agree to this list or not.

1. Buying clothes from the junior section.
2. Forgetting her parents’ birthdays.
3. Making out with her BFFs at bars for attention.
4. Making out with her boyfriend at bars for attention.
5. Filling her bed with stuffed animals (really, even one is too many).
6. Carrying a torch for anyone she hasn’t seen in the last five years.
7. Rebelling against her parents for the sake of rebelling against her parents.
8. Declaring an entire gender “all jerks.”
9. Holding a grudge against anyone who wronged her in high school.
10. Skipping regular gyno exams.
11. Going to bed without washing and moisturizing her face.
12. Being “that person” who had a bit too much to drink at the office party.
13. Crushing on Justin Bieber.
14. Thinking she’s got it all figured out.
15. Calling her father “daddy.”
16. Engaging in sibling rivalry.
17. Trying to get by on her looks.
18. Living paycheck to paycheck.
19. Expecting a man/knight in shining armor to swoop in and save her.
20. Aimlessly jumping from job to job.
21. Using MySpace to pick up guys.
22. Expecting a man to do all the wooing.
23. Wishing she had someone else’s life.
24. Expecting everyone to drop everything because it’s her birthday ...
25. ... or because her “boyfriend” of two weeks dumped her.
26. Measuring her self-worth by a number on the scale.
27. Being cheap.
28. Quitting a job without having a new one lined up first (especially in this economy!).
29. Blaming her mother for all her issues.
30. Romanticizing her 20s.

Guess what? I got my first iPhone today at a really good price. Of course I am happy to finally have my very first touch screen phone complete with internet access anywhere I go at anytime of the day. Now, I can play around with the apps and voice memos. Exciting!

Of course every gadget needs to have their own set of accessories. Mind you, there are a gazillion sources of cellular phone, most especially iPhone, accessories out there in the market. Some of which are sold on the internet at really cheap prices, however, there are two questions you should always ask yourself before purchasing – “is the product of good quality” and “how reliable is the seller”? Remember, the internet has lots of eyes lurking around for possible preys.

Speaking of careful and secure buying, I found this wonderful website called MobileFun. It has everything – and by that I mean everything – regarding cellular phones and cellphone gadgets. They cater to all cellphone brands and models from Blackberry to Nokia to Alcatel. They also carry authentic and great quality iPhone accessories ranging from iPhone case and iPhone dock. All of which are within reasonable price ranges. I have another amazing news. If you have old cellular phones piling up in your homes, you can recycle those and actually earn money because MobileFun also purchases old phones.

I can definitely say I can shop with ease and confidence with MobileFun. They are indeed a one stop shop on the internet for they have everything available. They accept payments through Paypal and other major credit card companies such as Visa and Mastercard. All transactions with this company are certified secured and safe. Wherever you may be, worry not for MobileFun ships out products all over the world.

So the next time you want to treat your “geek” or “electronics-lover” self know that MobileFun is one of the best places to go and shop for mobile accessories.

Today, my friend texted me asking for a suggestion of a perfect gift for his mother. What perfect gift could you give to someone who has almost everything? Doesn’t every women love jewelry and most especially pearl jewelry? I immediately replied to my friend and told him about this website I occasionally visit. It is called Pearl Necklace Center and they sell genuine Japanese Akoya and freshwater pearl jewelries. They start at an affordable price of $24.99, but do you know what’s best about it? They have free shipping anywhere in the world! Tell me where else can one find such a great deal. All the pearls they use are personally hand-picked and knotted to maintain high quality that is incomparable.

They have an exquisite supply of classic pearl earrings with unmatched superiority - one that I’ve never seen in other stores. They have a selection of colors to choose from, ranging from 14K gold with white, pink, lavender, grey, and black pearls. Their most popular necklaces have pink, white, grey, and purple pearls with 14K gold and sizes between 8.0 and 9.0 mm. They also have a large variety of pearl bracelets with various sizes and colors. One of my favorites, for example, is the 7 inch freshwater white pearl bracelet with 14K gold beads.

The company is very committed in bringing the best quality pearls and satisfaction to their clients. They accept payments through Paypal and all types of credit cards, therefore, transactions are always fast and easy. With fast shipment, excellent customer service, affordable prices, and quality products – one can never go wrong with gift giving this holiday season.

After recommending this website to my friend, he decided to buy his mom the best Christmas gift ever, a necklace from Pearl Necklace Center. This actually gave me the idea of buying my own mother a set of pearl jewelry for the holidays. Well, I might get myself a pair of those pearl earring too. Always remember that nothing beats a classic set of pearl jewelries that last a lifetime. While the thought lasts forever.

Hi everyone!
I already got my H1N1 vaccine last Wednesday. I got my siblings their shots as well. What about you? If you haven't gone to get yours, well, act quickly now. You don't want it to be too late for you and your family. This type of flu spreads rapidly and the symptoms may be misleading because the manifestations are similar to other milder types of flu or infections. So, make room for it on your schedules. It only takes less than a minute to get the shots or the flu mists. You never know when they're gonna run out of supplies so hurry while you can. In the meantime, bear in mind the best preventive measure to any type of infection - wash your hands. If you can, carry around hand sanitizers because you never know when you're gonna need it.

There was a sad article today featured on Yahoo's homepage. They titled it "America's Pink-Slip Capitals." Now, if none of you has ever received a pink-slip before then good for you. For those who are not aware as to what this pink-slip means let me give you a hint that simply means - you're fired! Fired because you did something stupid while on the clock, fired because you've been late for the nth time in a year, fired because you're a lousy worker, or just fired because your company is laying off thousands of workers due to this current recession.

This is a global truth. Most businesses during this time of the year aren't doing so good. In fact a few have already filed for bankruptcy, closed, or slipping to that direction. The end results are what we witness around us; more houses foreclosed, debts gone unpaid, people unemployed, and more children not finishing school. In fact the unemployment rates in one of the most powerful countries has soared to probably it's highest record ever. (or will be soon if no solution is implemented) According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, during the first quarter of this year about 3,489 mass layoffs happened leaving 559,000 people jobless.

The picture is worsening and no clear solution is in sight. Even if some of us still have jobs, we can and will still feel the effects of this slowing economy and rising unemployment rates. We all live in one world and every single second, each deed of a single person affects our lives one way or another.

So today, Yahoo! Real Estate gave out the top 5 cities in the country that are greatly affected by the ongoing mass layoffs. The top 5 pink-slip capitals.

1. Detroit, Mich.
Mass Layoffs: 57
Workers Affected: 14,781

2. Chicago, Ill.
Mass Layoffs: 87
Workers Affected: 13,647

3. Los Angeles, Calif.
Mass Layoffs: 100
Workers Affected: 10,594

4. New York, N.Y.
Mass Layoffs: 61
Workers Affected: 8,688

5. Las Vegas, Nev.
Mass Layoffs: 55
Workers Affected: 8,367

Yes, unfortunately, my own city is part of the list.
I just hope and pray that the economy will start to pick up again then we can all raise our heads and say we made it through the crisis as one country.

Okay, not me alright?!

My brother and his band had a practice this afternoon. At one point, his friend was listening to Soulja Boy's "Kiss Me Through the Phone" but even before the song ended this other friend stopped it. He then blurted out, "I don't like this song. How can you kiss someone through the phone?!?!"

Lol. Middle schoolers.
