Unseen Protection

image These days, using a Hidden Camera inside the house is not as unusual as five years ago when people are worried about violating privacy. I’m saying this for parents who work outside the house and has no choice but leave their kids to their caretakers. And if you’ve seen the videos circulating the web of abusive nannies, you’d feel the same way too.

Hidden or spy cameras can be bought everywhere. I saw several undetectable cameras at the Brick House Security online shop ranging from $99 to $599. Most of them are used as a normal appliance in the house like digital clock, tissue box, floodlight, smoke detector, mailbox and key chain. Features also range from something as simple as video surveillance to video recorder, body heat detectors to motion detectors, wireless to night vision and even mobile ones that you can take anywhere.

10 Things That Make You Feel Old

Posted in online life, what's up on October 13th, 2009 by admin – 3 Comments

1. Raven, Hannah Montana, Carly and any kids from Nick or Disney channel that are now wearing make up and skimpy clothes

2. Emo style – fashion, music

3. The girls from Gossip Girl TV series and their never-ending legs.

4. Seeing friends from elementary and high school with their kids (aged 10 and up) in tow.

5. The mere mention of clubbing with young cousins makes me cringe

6. Me preferring to have a nice lovely dinner with friends instead of partying all night at some dark, hip place with expensive booze and 20-year-olds

7. Whenever I see my younger cousins who I used to treat like babies. They are all grown up now and either have a career on their own or having relationships left and right.

8. Expanding thighs

9. The mirror

10. My whole body aching after a long day at the mall.

I’m not that old though. Just feel like it. :D

I love Math. So much that I used to tutor my brother when he needs some Algebra help. That experience showed me how hard to teach someone if you don’t have the right teaching skills. If you’re a student who is struggling with Math problems, I recommend this site called Tutorvista.com. Tutor Vista offers all kinds of tutoring packages that you can do from the comforts of your home. Connect with a tutor using your computer and you can get personalized one-on-one tutoring at a fraction of what learning centres usually cost.

High School Graduation Party Invitations

High School Graduation Party Invitations

My youngest and most favorite cousin is graduating from High School. As a gift for her, I’ve decided to shoulder her High School Graduation Announcements so we can share with everyone in the family the recent success of our “baby”. We’re having a party too so we’ll have to get a high school graduation party invitation at GraduationCardsShop website as well. This is a big deal for the family as she’s the last in our generation to ever graduate in school. We won’t have any celebrations except in the next three or four years when she finishes College or when our kids (all pre-K) enter primary school. read more »

I’ll Never Get Tired of Reading

about …

Travels – where to go, how much the packages are, where to eat

Losing weight – the right diet, diet pills, exercise program, hip-hop routines, pilates, yoga.

Movies – top 10, 50, 100; great movie dialogues, from books to big screen

Hollywood gossip – just can’t get enough of this. It has been my guilty pleasure for so long.

Food / restaurant reviews – not just the hottest place but also the most hidden and not-so-popular ones. I also like those restaurants that can accommodate a few people at the same time. Then there’s also food festivals and wine/alcohol events.

Design / art – I want to surround myself with all types of art. I’m not one of those artsy-fartsy types. I just want to be consistently amazed by art whether it’s good or bad.
