Accessories for Formal Wear

Filed under: Fashion — Tags: , — rachel @ 12:42 pm

Formal affairs such as balls and weddings require guests to come in formal clothes. Women are expected to wear long formal gowns while men can wear tuxedos.  Women can accessorize their gowns by wearing jewelry.  Use jewelry that compliments your gown and not the other way around.  The wrong choice of jewelry may clash with your gown.  A matching formal bag will complete the look. Men can use accessories like vests, bow ties, cummerbunds, cufflinks and studs.

An Afternoon in Nuvali

Filed under: Family, Fun Times, Yohan's Corner — Tags: , , — rachel @ 5:38 pm

I went to Nuvali Sta. Rosa with my family yesterday.  It was an opportunity to celebrate because my husband recently graduated with distinction in Culinary school and my son just finished his final exams.

It was a nice, sunny Friday afternoon. The first thing we did was feed the koi in the man-made pond. Yohan had so much fun feeding the koi.  We also had a short boat ride around the lake. Then we stopped for some delicious snacks at Conti’s.

Meralco Brownouts

Filed under: Info Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 1:58 pm

I’m not happy about the rotating brownouts that Luzon has been experiencing these past few days.  Yesterday the brownout was under two hours. I’m still grateful in a way because other regions are experiencing longer power outage. I heard Mindanao is experiencing nine hour brownouts. It must be tough for those people living there. I hope the electricity shortage brought about by the El Nino will be resolved soon.

For today’s brownout schedule, check out Meralco’s advisory. Find out the time of brownout in your area so you can be ready.

Tips On Car Shopping

Filed under: Info Corner, cars — Tags: , — rachel @ 11:05 pm

Buying a new car is an investment that should be given serious thought.  Think of what you want and what you need before visiting car dealers.  Prioritize the things you are looking for in a car to help you in your decision. If you set some standards on what car to purchase, you’ll be able to save time and money.

Sometimes it’s easy to be sidetracked when you are in a car dealer.  The presence of so many cars can make decision making hard.  For example, if you are set to get a minivan for your family then make it a goal to check out different mini vans and not waste time checking out the sports car area.

There is a wide selection of vehicles for car buyers. There are different car brands and types of vehicle to choose from.  Every vehicle has a unique and outstanding feature to offer buyers.  Comparing car features is a good way to select a car ideal for you.  Factor in your budget in making your decision.

The budget is a big consideration in purchasing a car.  Many people are looking for cars that are dependable as well as affordable. The hyundai elantra is a good choice because of its dependable features and practicality.

Importance of Road Safety

Filed under: Info Corner — Tags: , — rachel @ 3:21 pm

Every driver should take road safety seriously.  It is important to have your car checked regularly to keep it road worthy. Wearing your seat belt while driving is a vital safety precaution that should never be neglected.  Every car should be equipped with a tool kit and early warning device for emergency purposes. It’s a good idea to have a list of emergency numbers to call such as good sam towing just in case you encounter a problem while you’re on the road.
