Modern Ceiling Fans

Posted by acmomcee | Uncategorized | Sunday 8 August 2010 10:53 am

When Iwas in elementary grade, I can still remember how happy I was when my mom granted my wish of installing my dream ceiling fan in our dining area. I love how classy it was with lights of different colors. I didn’t know that ceilings fans of those sorts are still available these days with modern designs. I love these Minka Aire ceiling fans. They’re modern yet still bring the traditional class of yesterday’s design.

Baby Announcements

Posted by acmomcee | Uncategorized | Friday 30 July 2010 4:36 pm

It was only during our wedding when I get to send printed invites to all the friends and relatives who we would love to join us in celebrating our union together. Our Alyssa came, but I wasn’t aware that I was supposed to send baby announcements for everyone to know about the birth of our precious little princess. If only I knew then how cute it could be, I should have designed the best pinkish baby announcement ever! ;)

I have another chance, though… to make the best bluish announcement ever! That is if God will be granting our prayer of conceiving our baby boy by October this year. :)

TCP: The Proposal

Posted by acmomcee | Uncategorized | Monday 15 March 2010 4:43 pm
This week’s theme in Tuesday Couch Potatoes is “Wedding Movies” and because I soooo love Sandra Bullock, I’ll chose The Proposal, which I found so funny. It also shows something about family-ties which made me love the movie even more.

I was not able to post an entry last week, but I just want to say that the movie that disappointed me was also of Sandra Bullock’s and it’s called, The Lake House. This is the only Sandra Bullock movie that I didn’t find nice among the few I just watched. I don’t know if it’s really not so nice or it’s just me disliking it because of the deep twist and I hate to think how the hell they were able to meet at the same time… LOL!

Oh well, I know there are still a lot of Sandra’s movies that I have to marathon in one whole straight week. =) I’m a Sharonian, but internationally, I’m “Sandranian”.. hahaha!!!


In New York, Margaret Tate is a successful self-made chief-editor of the Ruick & Hunt Publishing and loathed by her coworkers. Margaret lost her parents when she was sixteen and is tough with the employees of the office. Her executive assistant and aspirant editor Andrew Paxton has been working with her for three years without any recognition. When Margaret has problems with the immigration due to an expired visa and is threatened with deportation, she blackmails Andrew to agree to marry her. In return, he would be promoted to editor and she would publish his book. Meanwhile, the skeptical clerk of the immigration department Mr. Gilbertson schedules an interview with Margaret and Andrew after the weekend. The couple travels to Sitka, Alaska, to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of Andrew’s grandmother and Margaret is welcomed by his warming family. Over the weekend, she grows closer to Andrew’s family who ask her to marry Andrew in their barn, a family tradition in the Paxton family. And the tension increases when Mr. Gilbertson appears out of the blue in Sitka promising to charge Andrew for fraud. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - IMDB

I found this movie funny and nice. Andrew didn’t even say a word about his family. He was so humble not to mention that his family was so rich and even said that it’s not his, but his parents. Andrew’s family was so close that he doesn’t want to disappoint any of them. Margaret’s heart softened as she lives with Andrew’s family and at the end, just admitting about the pretentious acts even though it means losing her career is one brave act, for me. It’s not the nicest movie ever, but it’s the most recent wedding movie I watched and simply because, it starred Sandra Bullock. =)

My Take on Gutierrez’s Vs. Aquino’s Issue

Posted by acmomcee | Celebrities,Philippine Showbiz,Uncategorized | Tuesday 9 March 2010 6:29 pm
Oh well, I’m sure almost everyone already knows about this issue. I was able to watch The Buzz last Sunday and was really shocked when Ruffa walked-out. I knew then that that act will surely make a noise in Philippine Showbusiness. 
Right at the start of the show, I have felt a tension already. I knew then that the hugging part was some kind of a “plastic”. Then as the show continues, more tension arose between the two. On the Angelica/Derek issue, Kris rebutted on Ruffa’s statement. Another issue that they were supposed to talk about was the John Prats and John Lloyd Cruz issue where Kris’s side is obviously on John Prats’s, while Ruffa was a bit awkward because of John Lloyd’s name (which I believe they really had ‘something’ before). 
Kris told Ruffa, “Ruffa, aminin mo, ibang level ang saya dito.” which made Ruffa emotional and cried. Just before they cued for a  commercial, Ruffa stood up and walked away from the set and this was seen by everyone. When this happened, I’m sure that the “Monster Mom” will surely butt in and she did! In her interview with Showbiz Central, she said that people shouldn’t vote for Noynoy since now that he hasn’t won the position yet, his sister Kris is already arrogant, more so when he won. 
On this whole issue, I would agree with Jobert Sucaldito’s statement on TV Patrol that Anabelle Rama’s reaction as a mother is understandable, but if Kris Aquino’s statement will be the only basis, then he believes that it isn’t fair since he can’t see anything harmful whatsoever on what Kris has said.

How To Get Washboard Abs Fast

Posted by acmomcee | Uncategorized | Thursday 4 March 2010 1:30 pm

It’s summer time once again and hitting the beach is probably one of the most enjoyable and important activity one cannot allow to pass. It’s when people show off their hard-earned sexy bodies through their chosen exercise and diet. But do you ever think how they were able to achieve those perfect curves and really impressive abs? Abs is sexy and that cannot be denied, and how to achieve that washboard abs fast a.k.a six-pack is the question personal trainers are being asked.
Washboard abs actually consists of sections called upper, lower and mid-section. One big misconception however is that people think of working on each of these sections separately. You have to understand that these muscles are not divisible and working on the so-called six pack means working on the sections together.
Together with the work out you are planning on doing comes a good and proper eating habit. The diet you choose is vital so you have to keep in mind that the foods you take contributes to the kind of abs you want to obtain. The more fats you take, the more it is to cover the muscles of your abdomen. So keep in mind that there are two factors that come together in achieving the ideal abs and they are proper diet and appropriate exercise.
While knowing that different sections are not contracted separately when working out, you should consider that there are however different exercises for each of them. Contrasting statements I know, but there are just exercises that focuses on a certain part while still helping the others to contract.
Another important thing to keep in mind is to modify the traditional methods of training that you were used to. This muscle building isn’t about how much exercise you dedicate every time or how much burn you feel, but it is actually about working on as much fibers as possible. Have you ever think what benefits can a stability exercise ball do for you? Well the truth is, it actually decreases your balance making your crunches works faster than doing them on a well-balanced position, like the floor. These exercise balls can also be used in common exercises such as push-ups. Try placing it either under your arms or feet while you do your usual push-ups.
There is however exception in using those exercise balls and that is when you are lifting very heavy weights as you don’t want to decrease your stability at these points.
With these guidelines, I believe you are on the right track in achieving the ideal washboard abs you’ve been wanting for long.
