  When choosing a furniture, we always choose that is made of leather. Aside from its durability and style, we also look forward to choose something really appropriate in our home. Type of leather you've wanted: Make a research on the kinds of leather that every furniture has been made of . Among these are top grain leather, pure aniline leathher and semi aniline leathehr. Also, depending on its durability, you may find it really expensive. How you can check if its 100% leather? Well, have someone to check it out for you. A vinyl or real leather looks the same but of course, we can consult our store manager to assist you. On size and measurement, you have to make sure that you have an additional space that fits your furniture. Otherwise, it will be very hard to ask for replacement. Better measure it before you buy or call the furniture store to ask for their available sizes. You may also consider that the heavier it is, it can last for years. Depending on its size, color, and fra...

That was when I had my first field trip outside the country! Where I went? -- in Hong Kong, when me and my fan girl friends watched ' F4 Concert , in Hong Kong Coliseum last 2006'.

I am not really familiar with different chinese dishes but all I know is everything is good to eat :) Last time, we got a chance to discover that Hunan is just similar to Szechuan cuisine wherein Hunan is more spicier while Szechuan is common with smoked and cured dishes. Consists of more than 4,000 dishes according to ChineseFood.About.Com, includes Dong'an Chicken, Crispy Duck, Orange Beef and Spicy Frog Legs. At first I am thinking if I can manage to finish everything because it is really spicy! They said that the reason why they're using extensive chiles is because of the humid climate. Mao Zeodong , the leader of National People's Republic of China was born in Hunan   The Restaurant: Mao Jia Hunan Cuisine Location: The Ronac Art Center in Greenhills, San Juan Hunan Cuisine is one of the eight regional cuisines of China.

Ben 10 is one of my favorite cartoon television show I've seen so far because of his intelligence and ability to transform into ten different aliens. A typical kids show that has a power of advanced alien technology to fight for evil ones. Last time, we were able to check out N ido Fortified Science Discover Center in Mall of Asia wherein we see a lot of interactive and hands on exhibits that are truly educational.

We can find germs everywhere. It can be found in the air, on the foods you ate, surroundings and even on your body. Your immune system should protect you against of several infections but most of the time those bacteria, germs & viruses do mutate and beating our immune system's defense. Thinking of you can remove or reduce the harmful substance and prevent it from spreading? Here are some of the simple steps I collated by reading different health references online: 1. Hand Washing - One of the simplest step but some people forget how to wash their hands properly. Bacteria entered through our hands and hides in between in our fingers. Anything we get contact into like holding a pen, lifting objects, or anything we touch has a bacteria on it. A direct contact with person who has sickness can easily further spread the bacteria. 2. Kitchen preparation - Make sure that the foods we prepared for our family are not contaminated. Mostly raw meats, store leftovers and freshly prepared...

How can one preserve the concept of manliness in this modern age of liberal views and cultural influences? While there came up such a term as "Metrosexual", "alphamale", etc., one cannot deny that the concept of manliness in the physical aspect is still the same as from fifty years back. most women still prefer guys with muscles and exudes manliness compared to effeminate-but-straight ones. Although a lot of Filipinas go gaga over Korean (and some other Asian) males who, more often that not, look (and dress almost) like girls, there is still a strong number of women (me included) who stick to what is i think is a "normal" look for men - men who look like men. what woman in her right mind would be happy if the guy she's with is far more beautiful and glamorous than she is? I seriously abhor guys who are more vain than i am. i can't stand it when i discover that a guy friend owns his very own kikay kit in his purse, i mean, man-purse. it would only m...

Are you a kind of man who usually don't bother wearing something old-school or being frugal when it comes to fashion? There were debates that women have more time to shop because there are plenty of selection from different shops. Last Saturday, I tag along a friend to shop in SM Manila (it's a 3 day sale weekend!) since he is celebrating his birthday on the 4th; I asked him to choose something he wanted whether a shirt, accessories or anything (our budget: P200-P400). He decided to hunt for shirts, and checked out different clothing brands at SM Department Store . While waiting for him, I saw huge sale on coats, tie, and accessories like belts, wallets and bags. We spent almost 30 minutes looking for something he wanted. He knows what kind, type, color and which brand to choose. Unlike any other who just strolling around and which huge selections at more than 10 brands inside the department store, you'll be wondering which item you would like to take home.
