Satellite TV and Direct TV

Direct TV and Satellite TV (also known as Dish Network) are now a fast becoming trend in every home and business establishments. Most people have subscribed, not only for wider channel choices but also for a high definition viewing. So, I was curious since my family and I are avid movie watchers. I wanted to learn more about it.

Anyway, if these services are new to you, which is new to me too (since I am only familiar with local TV shows and cable), I decided to search about satellite TV and direct TV in a broader perspective; to know what are the advantages and compare between Directv vs. Dish network services. Then I was able to stumble upon KaptainSatellite.com.

At KaptainSatellite.com, they have explained many factors between the services provided by direct TV and dish network providers. They also have a wide range of resource links to help you understand and decide which of the following services you will want to have.

Wish List Page

Every time I visit other blogs, I sometimes bump into a wish list page of the blogger. Within that page, the blogger lists all the things she or he might want to have in the future. Example, the blogger wants a heart pendant necklace, so she or he writes it in the wish list page and edit as she or he acquires it and so as for the other things listed there.

As for me, I am planning to make a wish list myself. I mean, it’s not being materialistic but I wanted to have a tangible list of the things I wanted to accomplish so that I will be reminded and remain focus on achieving it.

Anyway, if I do start making one, I think a digital camera will be on the top 5. As a blogger by profession, I think a digital camera is very essential. Besides, you need digital photos to scrap. What will I scrap if I don’t have digital pictures taken, right?

A Long Call About My Credit Standings

I was not able to sleep last night. I was very busy updating the blog my husband and I co-authored. So, around 9AM, I decided to take a short nap just to revive my energy. Well, I didn’t expect a super short nap but I was awakened by my father. He called me up and gave me a long talk about my mother, my life, my mistakes and my credit card problems.

The call lasted almost 30 minutes and I was beginning to imagine that I was talking to a credit counseling company because of all the advices that he was giving me about my financial situation and credit standings. That is not unusual of my father because he always does that when he calls me but I was so sleepy that my brain was not properly hearing him anymore.

Anyway, I was glad that his mobile phone lost power and the call was ended. Now, I can go back to sleep. I badly need to catch up some nap before today’s big event.

Freebie Finds: A Day of Remembrance Kit

Today is a very special day in the US. All 50 states in the United States of America are celebrating their Independence Day. I guess some of you will have pictures later and would definitely take time to place them in a digital scrapping lay-out. So, here is a fabulous freebie that I have found from Peachy Keen.

Actually, she made this one for Memorial Day but I guess it still fits nicely for the 4th of July. Hope you enjoy it!

Acne Galore

Since I have been awake until the wee hours of dawn, I am not surprised that some acne spots have sprouted back again at my face. Aside from that, I am having too much stress that I don’t know why I have survived for the past few weeks!

Anyway, I really felt so ugly right now. Most of the time, I felt insecure about how I look. That is why sometimes, I spend countless time searching for a top acne treatment that is suitable for pregnant women. I want to get rid of these acne spots. Somehow having a clear looking face would suffice to lower my insecurities right now.

Do you have anything to recommend? Or do I need to go to a dermatologist to get a prescription?
