A|X Denim starting at $98...Don't Miss It!

Do you know that Armani Exchange has "New Premium Denim starting at $98"? I love their jeans. They are casual, sexy and youthful. Below are my favorite jeans.

This type is my all time favorite. I can wear heels with this if I want to be formal or sneakers if I just want to be hip and casual.



I like this one, too. With my skinny thighs, it will definitely look good on me. It will make my legs look slim and long especially if I wear high-heeled shoes.



This style is something that I have not imagined myself wearing but will consider to try. It looks very unique to me.


I also went into the A/X dressing room to mix and match styles and below is really my style. I love jeans and a T-shirt together.


Try their dressing room and I am sure you will have some fun. If you find something that you like, remember that their New Premium Denim starts at $98 as I mentioned above. If you purchase a full price pair of denim from Armani Exchange, in store or online, between 7/7/09 – 7/19/09 you will receive a gift card of $20 off your next purchase of $100 or more, valid from 7/30/09 through 8/15/09.

If you like to text a lot, why not text A|X for a chance to win a pair of denim everyday if you want for the month of July. Armani Exchange has the "Text AX contest" going on this month. All you have to do is text the keyword "DENIM2" to ARMANI (276264).

Also, check out the A|X Blog for information about fashion, music and more and follow them on twitter: @ArmaniExchange.

Excited

My husband had a job interview earlier this afternoon. I am very excited because this is going to be his chance to go back into his career field. I have been praying for him since the day I knew that he was going to get an interview. He said that it really went well and he is confident about it. I hope he gets this job, God willing.

Please Lord, help me make my husband happy. Your will be done.

Get The Fastest Internet , The Phatband Speed

My internet is not the best when it comes to speed especially when both my husband and I use our computers at the same time. Whenever I upload photos into my social networking account, I have to wait for so long that I have to leave my computer and do something else. I also restart my computer a lot of times after my son uses my computer with his favorite kids' website. That site has interactive kids games, videos and loads of pictures and my son opens many windows on the screen. That really takes a lot of our internet's power.

When I was in Missouri, I heard about a company named Charter. I just heard recently that they have Ultra60 Mbps service which is the fastest Internet speed in St. Louis and one of the fastest nationwide. Ultra60 is only available in St. Louis at this time I believe, but it will be rolled out to other places throughout this year. Ultra60 Mbps service has the Phatband speed which is the next level to Broadband. With this kind of speed, you can multitask like never before. You can watch movies, play games and upload files without lagging or freezing your computer. This is a super high speed internet experience that everybody needs including myself.

I hope that they will come here in Colorado. That would be really great. It will not only make a good competition for consumers but make our internet service into the fastest mode.

Mind-Boggling

A lot of things came to mind and it is all about the subject "to petition my parents". I want to bring my parents into the United States so we can be together. I think they are very excited to come visit the America. They want to explore the USA which is a most wanted place for immigrants.

Well, as you all know, a lot of Filipinos want to come here to live their American dreams. They want to live richer, more prosperous, better and happier life. Here in the United States, you can have a good-paying job even without a college diploma as long as you have a good work history (related experience) and work ethic. If you work hard, you will have an opportunity to get those toys such as I-pods or I-phones, WII, an SUV, or even your own house if you have enough money to pay (as long as the government won't raise the taxes too high). If you have extra money, you can go to restaurants that you have been wanting to try, go to vacations into places like San Francisco where the famous Golden Gate is or see the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, experience the roller coaster ride at Disneyland or maybe just stomp through the snow, how about that?



I know not all of you agree with me that is why there are terrorists. You can not please everybody. I learned that in high school myself as the president of the student body. In high school, people who were not pleased are not terrorists I promise. Terrorists want to destroy this free country. You all see the 9/11, right? So I know not everybody will be pleased with this post.

Hopefully, Obama won't turn our American dreams upside down like a hot pancake. With all the super spending that his administration is doing, it is very scary. Not everybody realizes it, but it is not good for the future of this country especially our kids who will be paying the debts. My Gabby is 2 months old but already has a debt. Can you imagine that?

Anyway, how am I going to bring my parents in the United States? My big problem is the discrepancy in the important documents especially their marriage certificate. I am not sure where or how to start solving it. My mother who is an elementary teacher is very busy and my father can not do it alone because it is my mother's name that has the error. I do not know what to do. I am thinking about bringing my younger brother first but it will take forever. If lucky, we can wait for approximately 11 years (I think) for him to get a visa if he does not get married before the visa gets approved. If I petition my parents, it will only take approximately 6 months assuming I have all the documents necessary that immigration needs. What a big difference, huh!

I think they said that we need to hire an attorney in order to get the errors changed. That is such a BS. Why such a hassle? I did not hire any immigration attorneys here in the United States to process all of my immigration applications. I did them myself (except the K1 visa) with the help of VisaJourney.com or USCIS.gov. I wish the Philippines had an easier way.

Sure...give me some advice. This is a mind blogging procedure in my head. I have a lot already. Help me! Help me!

Our Missouri Vacation Story

My husband had been planning for this vacation for months. He was very excited that he could finally see his aunts and cousins in Missouri after a very long time (3 years). I can not blame him. I, too, miss my family and friends very much.

My husband, our kids, my mother in law and I drove to Missouri which lasted more than 13 hours. We had to stop every 3 hours at least for the little baby to be fed and for us to stretch. It was a little boring because we had to drive along the flat Kansas State. There was nothing to see except the horizon and the challenging bright morning sun which was always telling us "Hey, I'm up. Look at me". Oh, before I forget, my husband made a comment about driving in I-70 along Kansas. Other than the horizon and the sun, he said that he saw a lot of churches on the west part of Kansas along the highway but the closer we were to Missouri, the more adult stores (XXX) signs came up. I really did not notice but confirmed it when going back home.





In Missouri, we stayed in a motel because it was cheaper. We went to bed right away after bathing and stuff. Who could stay up longer after a long trip? The next day was when the fun began. We went to my husband's aunt's place. They have a pool, a barn, a big back yard and a beautiful lake.





Second day in Missouri was a mix of good and bad. The good part was when I finally saw the ARCH with my little family. We walked under the big trees and the sun while looking up to the sky just to see the top of the arch. I did not know that there is a ride inside so you can go to the highest point of it and see the City of Saint Louis from up there. Well, I guess it does not matter because I would not go ride anyway with 2 little kids. The bad part was when we all got angry and cranky, hot and sticky, sweaty, and hungry. My dear husband and I had a little argument, went to silence for a while and just walked for a mile or more just to find a place to eat. He finally said to go inside Sundeckers.





As you can see in the picture below, it was a big meal. Guess what? I ate them all. That was how hungry I was and I did not realize it.




Later that day, we were relaxed by the lake near the Arch. It was fun. We went to our normal sense- no more arguing.


The third day was simple. We went to see Aunt "D", my husband's aunt. We talked for hours (actually I was more of a listener) and then had pizza and hot wings for dinner. I had the cheese pizza, though.



The last day in Missouri was the window shopping day. We went to the shopping strip in downtown Saint Charles the whole afternoon. They have historic buildings and cute stores. I did not buy anything though except the smoothie- yummy.

Then, later that evening, we had dinner at Applebees with a family friend.




We had a quick, hot, summer vacation. Where did you go this summer?
