You Just Got to Love Sales!

Don't tell anyone but I'm a shop-a-holic! So you may call this a confession but I'm actually proud of it rather than ashamed because I'm not the kind of person that exceeds my credit card limit every month because I shop too much. I'm actually more thrifty and a very wise shopper. So although I'm a frequent online shopper I always make sure that my purchases are well worth the money even if they tend to be very pricey. I always read reviews of a certain product before I finally decide to buy something plus I always use instant cash off discount coupons or free shipping coupons from bestonlinecoupons.com.

In fact I've saved around $200 when I bought my beloved Dell Studio XPS 13 by using Dell Coupon codes! My brand new laptop is one of my very major purchases online and I never regret spending over $1000 because I've saved so much more by using the coupins from bestonlinecoupons.com.

But I'm not the only one who uses online coupons. The old lady next door happens to be as smart as me as she recently told me that she saves tons of money on Petsmart.com free shipping coupon. She has several pet cats (I don't know why this is a trend with old ladies living alone) and she rarely goes out her home because she's a bit old and she uses a wheelchair so she just buys stuff online.

There are so many hot deals and so many great savings right now in their Hot Online Coupons section and I must say that I am really tempted to go shopping right now but I think I have to pass online shopping right now. Besides, I'm sure that there will still be better deals and coupons to come.

Manny Pacquiao Won Again?!

Well honestly? I'm not surprised that Manny Pacquiao won his recent fight with Ricky Hatton. I had a gut feeling that he will win.

I've heard that Manny Pacquiao was ridiculed by the crowd because his opponent was massive as compared to him but Manny proved them wrong by ending the fight with his signature Knock Out!

So even if Manny speaks English badly or whatever negative criticism he has, his fists do the talking.

So maybe this win and I'm sure for a fact that the future wins from Pacquiao will bring more glory to the Filipino people and he is someone we can all be proud to call a Filipino.

The Swine Flu Scare

Oh my gosh! There are over 20 cases of Swine Flu reported in Alberta and it's a bit scary! I'm a bit concerned about it because I meet several people in my work and I can bring the H1N1 Virus to my home so I really need to practice proper handwashing.

Although I'm very careful about it I'm scared that we might still contract the Swine Flu because my brother lacks good personal hygiene. He is really such a pig.

Just this afternoon a customer was saying that she doesn't eat meat so she won't get the flu. But the thing is eating the meat of an infected pig won't cause someone to contract the swine flu because swine flue is only transmitted from human to human. Although it can be contracted from swines too but not from eating them.

Home Security Systems

Unlike back home in the Philippines, I`ve noticed that homes here in Canada don`t have very high walls surrounding their homes and lots and they don`t have steel bars mounted on the windows. I once thought that home security was lacking in Canadian homes since homes here in are very open to intruders because the lawns are open and the windows are just made of glass that could easily be smashed.

But then I just recently realized that this doesn`t mean that burglars and intruders can easily break in because homes here are protected by something better than high perimeter walls and window bars, or attack dogs combined: home security systems!

That`s right! Home security systems will help in preventing burglary, some may even call the fire department if there is a fire, and you can even use it to send help when you have a medical crisis. So home security systems is just like having a police, a fireman, and a doctor as neighbors who you can just call for when you need them.

If our mortgage gets approved and we get to buy a house this year, I`m sure to get an ADT Security System as most of the homes here have this as their security system.

Touch My Hand Music Video

Hey guys! As you know I`m a David Archuleta fan and I`ve been stalking him since he was in American Idol (just kidding, don`t call the cops). Anyway, I saw this new music video that he had posted on his Official David Archuleta YouTube page. He disabled embeding to his music video which is a bummer but it`s no biggy.

So here is the link to his music video at YouTube:

Touch My Hand - David Archuleta

So the concept of the music video is really all about the fans. It`s not really a romantic love song but it`s more of a tribute to his fans and supporters who have brought him to where he is now. I really like how David is very humble and appreciative of his fans. He didn`t let his celebrity status from keeping him away from them.

So to all fans like me we should really support him!

It`s too bad that David isn`t coming to Edmonton and he`s going to have a concert at Manila with David Cook which I would never see because I cancelled my plans to go back to the Philippines this year. Tsk Tsk!

Oh well, I`m bound to get to see David Archuleta in Concert anyway so I`ll just be patient. Britney Spears was in concert here in Edmonton with the Pussycat Dolls but I didn`t see them too LOL!
