Playing Online Games Amidst the Pandemic and Walking Down Memory Lane

9 / 6 / 219 / 7 / 21

Ever since internet users skyrocketed in the 90’s, online games established its reputation as one of the concepts that made the usage of the internet successful and approachable for the general public. Now, there are more than a million websites that promote and develop online games, targeting both children and adults alike. 

Almost everyone I know (colleagues, acquaintances, relatives) have experience when it comes to online gaming. My children (aged 17 and 15) still play games online. There are many reasons why online games are so popular. With just a click, people can search up their favorite childhood game and play it on the internet. So many classics are being turned into something fresh, to keep up with the ever-changing trends in the gaming community. 

In my country, we have been quarantined for two years. Two years inside of my house made me and my family form coping mechanisms to be able to stay inside. While I started taking care of plants and gardening, my children (as I said earlier) used gaming as a way to cope. Whenever I would check on my daughter, I would see different games playing on her screen every minute of a day. As it turns out, she started playing more than 20 different games and managed to switch it up in between. All day, she has so much to do to keep her virtual worlds flourishing and well. 

I asked her one day to recommend me a game, a non-stressful one, because my work already does that for me. She suggested that I try something I am already familiar with to lessen the burden of learning new things. 

It wasn’t surprising to know that everything I wanted to have and play in my childhood could be accessed virtually. I was delighted to see that there were tons of websites that offer card games. Solitaire was one of the games I used to pass the time. It gave me a sense of nostalgia, because my friends and I used to play cards all the time back then. 

Aside from cards, I was also an avid fan of Candy Crush back then! As it turns out, I like the concept of connecting colors (LOL). Playing solitaire has been my favorite pastime even before we had a personal computer, My grandmother taught me how to play it and it’s been one of our bonding moments whenever she visits. Glad to know that solitaire.org still has it. But it was refreshing to see that they also provided other games. I tried playing new ones despite my daughter telling me to try ones I already know, and what do you know, I actually had a lot of fun!


Hidden Kitchen was one of the newer game concepts that I tried. The mechanics state that I was supposed to look for the items given, and it was indeed a challenge! It was very fun, however. Trying out new things and being back to trying out games brought me back to my childhood.

Especially now, as we are in trying times, being able to have access to online games is one of the things I consider to be a blessing. Technology has evolved so much, for just a click of my mouse, I can travel in time and have fun.

Online Fashion Store

5 / 28 / 20

Now that we are in the Pandemic. A lot of things have changed and made a turn upside down, it has taught us a lot of lessons and we all need to adjust. We knew that there are a lot of restrictions made to in order for us to be protected and keep safe from the virus. Since one of the essential thing to do to keep off spreading the virus is to exercise physical distancing. Business and economy are greatly affected in different industries especially for those that requires a lot of dealing with people.

Part of the ‘new normal’ nowadays is you can only go out whenever you need to buy the essentials like food and medicines. So most of the things are to be done and process online! Shopping and doing the groceries are just a few clicks away. Good thing that deliveries are now open to all kinds of online shopping and no more restrictions to the things you want to buy online unlike a couple of months ago.

So it’s time to update our stash for clothing. Since I have gained a few pounds for eating a lot during the quarantine and dear daughter have grown bigger, we need to buy new clothes. Haha!

Glad to stumble upon a couple of online fashion store that caters to our needs for clothing. Dear daughter is so into sunflower clothing lately and perfect for the summer season here in our part of the world!

Sunflower Halter Casual Mini Dress – Black

I, on the otherhand is more of a casual type of clothing. I am more of a Tee and jeans person. I love this leopard print clothing, perfect for a relaxed activity like going to the mall or just meet up with some close friends. I actually can wear this to work since we don’t have a dress code. Love the leaopard pocket tee design.

Pastime Activity

12 / 14 / 17

The hype of internet and gadgets are taking its’ toll in our lives. It is very hard to keep a limit of time to spend browsing on our smartphones. We tried our best to give the kids a  limit schedule on weekdays, but they can go and spend a lot more on weekends when there are no assignment or exams.

We also make it a point to have a family time without any gadgets on! We play game boards like scrabble, millionaire’s game,  snake and ladders and the likes. Our favorite of course is playing Bingo!

This was a Christmas gift to my daughter from his godparents a few years ago.

We love that it has the roulette were you get to fill and roll on to ensure that the ball numbers can be randomly picked. Unlike the usual shaker and chip type like numbers. Of course, who would never be amuse with the distinct style and way of playing the bingo  when a dealer gets to pick and declares a drawn number.  Its humorous way is giving each number a corresponding brand or meaning. For example, When a dealer gets to pick the number ” 13″ He or she would shout ” From the letter B, “unlucky” (as hint of the number he would be declaring). Then puts other branding on numbers that makes it more fun to play. Haha!

But due to its’ great interest to many as we also need to adapt to the fast changing environment on technology, Bingo has evolved from the typical and usual way of playing it as above. There are now online versions as well!

There goes the birth of online games, where we get to enjoy playing the usual games digitally at the comfort of our home and at the tip of our fingertips tapping our devices such as smartphones, iPads, laptops and other gadgets!

Playing online bingo  gives you the same way of enjoyment as you do it the old fashion way. Much easier as you can do it on your devices. What’s also nice is that there are many other options of games that you get to choose from, so you won’t get bored with the same game all over again. You get to choose different categories like games, sports, news, casino, slots, etc. So the more games you play, more chances of winning! Great isn’t it?

You can check out BoomtownBingo, a community for online gaming that will definitely satisfy the gamer in you.

Looking For Lace Black Dress

5 / 6 / 17

We will be attending an 18th birthday party by next week. So I am off looking for a  lace black dress that I can wear for the said occasion.  For the husband, he will be wearing a simple white long sleeves polo and khaki slacks since he will be a part of the 18 Roses. Dear daughter on the other hand will be a part of the 18 candles. It’s a part of the event were you have to provide the debutant a wish or message and tou have to light the candles and put it around the cake.

We we were able to buy dear daughter’s simple dress at the Mall, a peach colored sleveless dress that really fits her well. Good thing it fits our budget as well. Haha! It is originally priced at 1,300 pesos or around $30 but got it at only 650 pesos or around $15 only .

For myself, I wanted to wear a simple lace black dress, I chose black because as we all know black can cover up those imperfect bulges and makes you look thin. 🙂 Not to mention that it really goes well for any kind of occasion right?!

Lace black dress

My research led me to Rosegal, an online store that is fusion of endless possibilities that vintage and modern apparel has to offer. We love vintage for its understated simplicity, always en vogue character and stylized elegance. But most of all, we see the vintage style as being a uniquely timeless fashion statement, effortlessly embodying and capturing the essence of classic fashion.

Super Ideas for Fun Prom Nights

4 / 28 / 17

The senior year in High School is an exciting time. One of the most memorable events of the senior year is the senior prom. Students can spend months making plans and assembling groups for parties. As a parent, you can be much more than a bystander. Engage in the planning process where appropriate and offer ideas that can realistically materialize. Follow these recommendations from the professional party planners to help ensure your student’s prom experience is both positive and safe.
Aside from selecting a date and injecting some creativity into the process of asking, the dinner preceding the prom seems to get a lot of attention. Consider teaming with several other parents and hosting a prom dinner at your home. Students will be in a safe environment and relish at the site of parents serving dinner to a group of students in tuxedoes and gowns. This can also be a fantastic backdrop for those famous prom pictures. Be sure to encourage your student to be as inclusive as possible with the guest list. No student wants to be left out of the pre-prom festivities. Have them leave petty differences aside.
At the conclusion of a fun filled dinner and copious amounts of photos from the parental paparazzi, surprise your student with a stylish ride to the prom venue. Consider taking advantage of the awesome deals offered by Groupon coupons and arrange for a party bus to take the gang to the prom from the array of options available through Enterprise Rent A Car. This will make the event not only more memorable, but safe as well. Team up with several parents to spread the cost. Between the purchase of a gown, or tux rental, flower and dinner, costs can easily be prohibitive.
If the budget allows, consider having the part bus drop these prom revelers off at their respective homes at the end of the evening. You’ll rest well knowing they all arrived at the prom and returned home without incident. Best of luck to you in helping plan an amazing prom experience your student will remember for years to come!

8 Simple Tips You Should Follow To Make You Shopping Online Safely

11 / 16 / 16

The internet has changed the way many of us shop. We are no longer limited to location, geography or perhaps time. We can now quickly search for items from all over the world, any time of day and from the comfort of our houses. Having said that, while it may look like online shopping is now a huge part of our lives now, a lot of shopping is carried out offline. Nonetheless, there are positives and minuses to shopping online.

While you may already be good at purchasing stuff on the web, listed here are several suggestions to guide you as you shop online.

1. Learn to identify a secure website transaction.

Reputable online merchants use payment processing systems that automatically encrypt confidential data such as credit card numbers, making such information virtually impossible to steal. Fortunately, when you’re shopping online, it’s easy to tell whether or not your particular transaction is being processed securely

Here’s how.

Once you get ready to check out, two things should happen. The first is that the beginning of the website’s Internet address (URL) should change from HTTP:// to Https://. That “s” indicates that this section of the website is secure. (Don’t worry if you don’t see the “s” while you’re still shopping and adding items to your online shopping cart. The transaction doesn’t need to be secured until you’re getting ready to check out and enter payment and personal information.)

If you are using Internet Explorer, you are supposed to see a padlock image on the right side of the Internet Address bar

2. Shop from reputable merchants.

Knowing that a transaction is secure is one thing; knowing that the site’s owners can be trusted is something else entirely. Choosing when to trust a website depends on in part on who publishes the website, what information they want, and what you want from the site.

Look for well-known and respected online retailers such as Amazon.com or online versions of companies you already know and trust. Websites that are certified by Internet trust organizations such as TRUSTe, BBB Online, and Web Trust are preferable, as well, since they promise to protect your privacy and not to use information in certain ways without your permission.

You should be aware of websites that ask for personal information such as credit card numbers or bank information before they logically need it, and of sites that do not reveal phone numbers, email addresses or other ways to reach them for customer support.

3. Use a credit card for online shopping.

A credit card is taken to be much safer than a debit card when shopping online since you are protected by provisions of the Fair Credit Billing Act and since you can also dispute charges with the credit card company if you suspect a fraudulent transaction. For extra peace of mind, consider using a separate credit card for online shopping and monitor it carefully.

4. Don’t save credit card numbers or personal information in any online store account.

Many online vendors ask you to create accounts so that it’s easier for them to notify you of special offers. That’s fine if you are interested, but resist the lure of “convenience” by having them save your credit card information as well. It is better for a few people to have access to such confidential information.

5. Use a separate email address.

Guard your privacy by using a separate, free email account for your online activity. If you are inundated with email or spammers get a hold of your email address, it’s easy to discard the “freebie” email address and get a new one. You should also be careful of your password details. You might have decided to make use of an online password manager to make sure your passwords are safe. Also try to use strong passwords that cannot be easily guessed by anyone(mixture of all characters and long).

6. Keep all receipts.

When you shop online, you’ll receive order confirmation messages and receipts via email. Double-check them for accuracy, and keep them – in a separate folder in your Inbox, perhaps – until you are certain that the order was processed correctly and that you will not need to return anything.

7. Trust your instincts.

If you are not sure of a website – if something strikes you as too good to be true, if the site seems unprofessional or downright pushy – just don’t order from that merchant. With the millions of retailers available online, there’s sure to be someone more reputable who has what you’d like to order – and they are only a click away!

8. Buy only the product you are interested in.

When you have found the product, decided decision that you are sure you want to buy it and checked that the reviews are all positive then the next step is to locate the cheapest site to buy it from. There are loads of sites that have been created solely as price comparison sites. You can go to these sites, search for items, and you will be shown a list of all the sites that sell it and the cost. You can also check out 10 Greatest to search the products you want. Sometimes they do not always show a complete list of sellers so you may need to do some further research yourself. When you have found the cheapest place, then feel free to buy it! One cost to consider though is postage and packaging. You might say that when you add postage and packaging to the cost, it might be more expensive than another option.Furthermore, be careful where you are buying from. If you import from a different country, you might need to pay import tax.

Never fear when for shopping online for emergencies as the internet is the perfect solution. And with the holiday shopping season nearly upon us, it’s an excellent time for a refresher course in online shopping safety. Shopping online is no more dangerous than shopping at the local mall if you know what you’re doing – and it’s a lot easier to find a parking space!No one can guarantee that every Internet shopping transaction will be problem-free, but adopting the previous commonsense strategies will make it highly unlikely that you’ll be the victim of cyber fraud.

Online Security

9 / 10 / 13

Since I work online most of the time, I usually spend almost twelve hours in front of the computer. Yes, half of the day that is! Part of my job goes to monitoring my email and make sure that I answer messages promptly. I do receive numerous phishing scam in my emails. I almost fall into the prey of those scammers one time as I am about to hit the send button after inputting all the necessary details when they asked me to log all my bank and Paypal details, good thing that the browser prompted me that the URL is a phishing site.

It really pays to invest in Security Software for your online presence. You never really knew how this hackers and scammers work around. Prevention is better than cure as they always say, so one has to take the necessary precaution to avoid online problems in line with viruses and online identity theft.

Very convenient! No need to go to the SSS branch, no need to fall in line. Time, money (fare), effort saved. Hope this helps!  You may leave comment and I’ll do my best to be of help.
