Don't blame it to St. Patrick for your booze, the pubs and brews are the Irish thing not at all significant with the Saint himself. St. Patrick is no Irish, he's actually a Briton who was captured by Irish raiders who treated him as slave long before he was proclaimed as Saint. Cruelty was severe thus determined to escape from that malevolent plight... so he did. Patrick eventually acquired Christianity and had a calling to go back to Ireland to promulgate the belief which successfully he did. Ireland as being a Catholic country is largely contributed by Patrick himself. With the strong force of conversion, he is known to have driven out the "snakes' out of Ireland which is figuratively referring to the pagans or such. In case you're wondering why! green is very much or shall I say the sole color of St. Patrick's, it's merely because of the Shamrock, the three-leaf clover that he used while preaching as the symbolism of the Holy Trinity. It got stuck with Irish and somehow became the simile of St. Patrick himself. I honestly have to say what a good color choice! since green is the top of my fave colors. As for the leprechauns, I don't have a single idea why would tag this with the celebration, maybe because it is prevalent in Ireland? maybe or not. so another excuse for a cold Guinness? ain't need a St. Patrick's Day for that since in Ireland, Guinness day is everyday! Pubs are like mushroom hubs categorically can be considered as Irish's way of life, part of the definition of their culture. this could be a piece of heaven for many... that I know? just for the heck of it , let's wear green!... Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Celebrating 7th Birthday
Every parent would always want the best for their child. Although the best does not necessarily mean the most expensive rather the best of your means and sometimes ability of the parents to have the art of personalization can be defined as the best you can give. Celebrating the important dates of our children is the best way to create the memories that are most valuable when they are all grown up. Providing kids with a so called "happy childhood" is in the hands of doting and responsible parents. Good memories are contributing factor on how a person perceive life and most often than not it's the force to recreate history that once experienced. Everyone are excited for the celebration of 1st birthday, who isn't?... it's not! just a celebration of birth but a celebration of gratitude for a marvelous gift of life. Balloons, cake, food, favors, pictures, family and friends complete the gathering of the important day. The wonderful thing about kid's celebration is that everybody have the aura of happiness! like almost a must that everyone must wear that happy face that need not be imposed but just comes out. So the 1st birthday has been celebrated but does this have to be done every birthday?... there's no specific answer but definitely depending on the parents themselves, they could or opt not to. For the reasons not to have a grand or big celebrations will be tons. Primary reason is monetary, could also be practicality, availability, unexpected circumstances and so on. Making the birthday to be memorable need not be grand all the time somehow celebrating it with merely family over a lunch or dinner is as good as the company of many. Why would make the 7th year be special as the 1st? well, typica [...]

they got the Man in Gold
Sandra Bullock is the lady of the night! she bagged the most distinctive category in the award winning body as Best Actress. The movie Blind Side brought out the best in her which unfortunately I wasn't able to watch yet but is now on top of my list. This year's Oscar night was pretty smooth, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin really liven up the air and they were able to deliver good jokes. Their opening really gave me and hubby good laughs... boisterous laugh with my case, as a matter of fact hehehe. There is one dress that really transform my admiration into really wanting it and that was the ones that Rachel McAdams wore by Elie Saab's haute couture. Soft flowing, elegant, nice color mix and simply regal dress in my eyes. Rachel justified it well. 2010 Oscar's winners are well-deserving ones. To serve as my record, i'd like to sum it up... Best Supporting Actor- Christoph Waltz, Best Animated Film- Up, Best Original Song-Ryan Bingham from the movie The Crazy Heart, Best Original Screen Play-Mark Boal of the The Hurt Locker, Best Animated Short Film-Logorama by Nicolas Schmerkin, Best Documentary Short Subject-Music by Prudence, Best Live Action Short Film-The New Tenants, Best Make-up- Star Trek, Best Supporting Actress-Mo'nique who really caught my attention when I heard that she's into open marriage that she [...]

those stressful eyes
she just simply stresses me out!... that's what I feel whenever I watch Robin Miller's show in my favorite channel Foodnetwork. I stopped watching her after two episodes of stressful time I spared. she's pretty, well versed and all that but there's something in her eyes that makes the viewing unpleasant, unlikeable and yes! stressful. It's not about the size of her eyes since it's not at all big but she's got a mannerism of really popping it up, fully opening it, too intense, truculent and fierce. Cooking shows should exude a calm atmosphere, relaxing and pleasant viewing and these are the reasons why I love watching Giada and Ina.
my husband noticed the post it note in my laptop and there I wrote Robin Miller "i don't like" and he noticed whenever Robin's show would come next, I would immediately change channel so he asked why and I simply responded, because her eyes just somehow annoy me. Women have this thing at times that we become subjective for some reason considered quite shallow or sometimes for no reason at all but simply & guilelessly because we don't feel "it/them". Hormones? maybe or may be not.
I tried to ignored her at first since the episode was kinda interesting but hey on the second time... hell! those eyes again... hmmm... I just couldn't stand. I find her too excited in explaining things. Talks quite fast and and somehow she should be in the seat of Katie Couric's and out of the kitchen.
still, Foodnetwork will always be one of my favorites... second to HGTV? yup, yup.

Genuinely, "Since 2008"
It's our second!
Second year of Whims and Likes which now we could officially say "since 2008" as what most businesses would proudly shout with their company slogan, making it seriously official since longevity is a proof that it categorically have invaded the market. It reminds me of the movie "Sunshine Cleaning" where the father of Rose ( Amy Adams) deceitfully declared that their cleaning business has been operating since 1963. So Rose told her dad, played by a very good actor Alan Arkin that it's a lie! but her dad's only respond was "it's only a business lie not a life lie". Pretty clever response? ... not for me!. I am driven by principle and business is the very representation of the owner per se. So a business lie is not cool nor fly. I have encountered businesses ! who claims that they've been in the business since blah blah blah but the truth is it's only been existing a couple of months. Some are owned by religious ones who can bluntly execute a business lie. Whims and Likes officially started live in the market last January 28, 2008. Sincerely a product of rigid market research and literally hard work. We made sure that we will provide and supply once it's live and operational. Our primary concern is the satisfaction of our buyers so during the process of creating the company, we critically brainstorm as an efficient and competent seller and at the same time thinking as what the satisfied buyer would be. We focus on the theme during the organization with idea of being "The Choice" out there. The genuine source of pride about our company is that, it's a product of our own skills and interest although as a business, profit is a goal just as ALL other businesses are but we made sure that we will utilize our s [...]
