Chi-chi, our American Pit Bull Terrier

photohunter

This is Chi-chi, our American Pit Bull Terrier.

Chichi

Chichi (who I already featured in a PH entry here) is sweet with the kids and is very playful. Yes, she is cuddly but we seldom cuddle her because she is big, heavy, and muscled.

When she steps on your toes with her big paws or stands up and the nails scratched your arm, you will definitely say “Awww!”

Pit Bulls are probably one of the misunderstood breeds among dogs.

Oops, my short post just got long. I am a bit busy these days and had only a little time to write a post.

Now back to looking for pre-employment screening for a friend who is putting up a new biz.

Skin Care with Virgin Coconut Oil

Being on the lookout for natural skin care, one of the best things to use would be virgin coconut oil.

As I have mentioned in this post about the soaps we have used which have virgin coconut oil as a main ingredient, pure coconut oil has so many benefits to the skin and in my opinion, should be included in most beauty products being sold in the market.

Why the country, with so many coconut tree plantations is not cashing on virgin coconut oil in the skin care products being manufactured here is a puzzle to me. Virgin coconut oil, not chemicals, should be patronized and used because of  its healthy benefits.

These are just some of the skin conditions that are best dealt with pure coconut oil: dry, wrinkled skin, psoriasis, eczema treatment, dermatitis, among others.

This is just about skin care benefits. There are also healthy benefits for hair care, stress relief, weight loss, digestion, dealing with a variety of infections are just some of the few that benefit from the use of virgin coconut oil.

I really hope this product will be used so consumers will benefit from its good results.

New Babies and Toddlers in the Family

When we went home to the province last weekend to visit the wake of our granduncle, I was surprised to see a lot of babies and toddlers in the family. So, aside from my brother’s baby girl,  my cousin bore two more girls from when I last saw her second child.

I don’t even want to think about how many nephews and nieces I have on my mother’s side of the family. My mom sent me an sms during Christmas that there are so many kids during their annual Christmas reunion.

I joked that they should send out birth announcements to us so we know the head count of the offspring, LOL.

kids

I made a little compilation of the young addition to the family that I have pictures of. I know there are missing kids here so to that I say, “sorry po, eto lang meron ako” :D

Wish For a New DVD Player

The kids love to watch DVD movies. Hubby and I are on the lookout for a new unit since ours seem to be on the brink of extinction due to abuse, misuse and old age.

Oh, did I mention that the remote control’s buttons do not correspond to the function it is supposed to do?

Bluray dvd players would be a good thing to get to replace said unit. Hubby wants a player with a DIV-X format for the encoded AVI files of movies and TV series.

I am sure our Kuya will be the happiest for there would be no need to call him when we need to pause the player or choose a chapter :D

August Rush

photohunter

Have you watched the movie “August Rush”?

I did. I cried. I love the movie. I love the music.

August Rush OST

August Rush said: “The music is all around you, all you have to do is listen.”

He also said: “But I believe in music… The way that some people believe in fairy tales.”

Wizard said: “You know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars.”

Click here to see what the movie August Rush is all about.

Classical music, my other entry.
