Kate Middleton Wedding Gown was Victorious

Yesterday was a very festive day in United Kingdom and that includes other countries as well who witness the grandest wedding of the century. With almost 2,000 guests, Prince William (who is now The Duke of Cambridge) and Kate Middleton (was named as the Duchess of Cambridge) has said their vows yesterday April 29 at Westminster Abbey.

It was never in my plan to watch the whole wedding celebration yesterday but when my husband turns on the television and watch BBC World News, my eyes were glued with the extravagant details of the wedding and got excited of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress.

I watch from 6am (UK Time) in the morning until the end of the ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Unfortunately, I missed the KISS that everyone was talking about because I went to the bathroom!lol! Anyway, it wasn’t a big deal because I could still view the kiss at You Tube.lol!

What I really wanted to see was the wedding dress and boy all I can say was it was worth the waiting!


The new Duchess of Cambridge wore a very simple yet elegant and very classy gown designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen’s house. The gorgeous gown had an elegant lace sleeves to add a formal touch befitting the venue. The lace appliqué was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which served as her "something old."

In contrast to Princess Diana's 25-foot train, Catherine's (carried by her lady-in-waiting, sister Pippa) was a relatively modest length of just over eight feet.


The fingertip-length veil with embroidered trim on the other hand was made from ivory silk tulle and was also done by the Royal School of Needlework.

Overall, I really love the classiness and simplicity of the gown. It perfectly suits the personality and the figure of the Duchess of Cambridge.

A Peerless Mount for our Samsung LCD

As some of you know, about a few months ago we purchased a new Samsung LCD Television for our bedroom. It was my husband’s request that we replaced our old TV set with a flat screen. Since then, my husband enjoyed watching his favorite shows with the LCD.

Last night while dozing ourselves to sleep my husband told me that he plans to transfer the LCD TV and mount it on our bedroom wall. You see, the LCD is currently on a standing mode near our foot for we haven’t found any peerless mounts that the appliance agent suggested us to use. Unfortunately, package we bought doesn’t include any mounts.

But as based on my husband, he just found such mounts online and would show them to me today for us to purchase. Well, I just have to take a look at the price of course. :)

Today My Life Begins

I was really struck with this song… :'(

Today My Life Begins by Bruno Mars

I’ve been experiencing some issues in my life lately and all of that was because of me. I don’t know why I complicate my life. Though I don’t want to regret what happen for life is too short for it.

I just hope in time I can find and feel the real happiness I’m looking for.

Get Up and Start the Fight against Obesity

The term obese is widely popular in the field of medical science but the reality is that there’s a difference between being over weight and obese. How can you determine one from the other? The primary means to identify obesity is through the measurement of Body Mass Index or BMI. This method developed by a Belgian statistician named Adolphe Quetelet has been the standard for clinical studies when it comes to dealing with obesity cases. To determine your BMI, divide your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters.

As a general rule a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal while the index ranging from 25.0 to 29.9 already indicates that you are overweight. A body mass index of 30 is already a classification of obesity while 40 and over is already regarded as a case of morbid obesity. Determining your BMI is only the first step but further fitness tests can still be conducted by your physician to be certain about the status of your health.

Since this is fast becoming one the top weight-related problem in the country today, finding ways on how to fight obesity should be a top priority. There are a number of options available such as diet programs and workout plans. But incorporating all these to one’s lifestyle can be quite a challenge especially during the initial stage. So how can you conquer obesity?

Start by engaging in various physical activities like sports and fitness programs. A number of gyms offer discount coupons upon membership to encourage new members and get them motivated. Get up and start moving. It is very important to keep your body active at all times even if it means walking around the house for a few minutes.

Another way to shed those pounds is by cutting on calories which is another way of saying having a balanced diet. Eliminate unhealthy foods and switch to healthier alternatives. There are ways on how you can do this such as substituting chocolates with fruits for dessert or brown rice instead of white.

Great and Affordable Holiday Villas and Gites

Oh my! Summer here is really draining everyone! I’m talking about the summer heat that’s been hitting our country for almost a week now. With that, it is just wise that one should always revitalize and refresh their bodies by drinking lots of fluids or splashing on some cool water to prevent any heat related illness like heat stroke.

Heat stroke is one of the most common illness and sometimes mortality during summer. The usual victims are children, elderly and pregnant women because of their immature or old and abnormal health condition. But of course, heat stroke can happened to anyone especially if you don’t drink many fluids or take a bath regularly. So as a tip, always make sure to rehydrate during this hot season. Also, it is also advice that one should also de-stress once in a while especially during this season.

Summer is usually a great time to plan a grand getaway. Most people travel abroad or spend a grand time on beaches. Just like my Aunt Lila who plans to travel to Europe this month. She called me a while ago and was asking me to look for great villa holidays rental that she and her friends can stay while roaming around the country’s tourist’s spot. Unfortunately, her getaway to Europe is not a family gathering but a business trip with some of her office mates which are coincidentally her friends too. She was also asking me to consider checking out some gites just in case all villas near the tourist’s spots will be unavailable or too remote from the place.

Fortunately, a friend of mine suggested that I should check out a famous website that has various lists of villas, gites and apartment in different areas of the world (which I am currently browsing on). The said website has various lists of rental homes from different areas with different specifications. The specifications I’m talking about are the number of rooms, its locations, its amenities and its relaxation level that most travelers are looking for. They have all those information plus the contact number of the rental owners which you can directly contact in case you’re interested to rent their property. You can also see the price of the property for rent that you can use for your budgeting purposes.

Anyways, I really have to finish this research for my Aunt so I can submit it to her tomorrow. Hopefully, she approves all the work that I’ve done.
