Website Template

In one of the forums where I am actively participating, a member asked if she can sell her own products on her own site. When I am in forums, I try to helpful as I can to fellow members. There's really nothing to lose if you share what you know. I suggested that if she wants to do this, she should have a professional looking site and that it should be convenient for her customers to make payments.

Putting up an e-commerce site may seem too complicated at first, that's why as an entrepreneur, you should do a thorough research and try to get people's feedback before you execute your plans. Aside from a reliable webhost, another important thing to take care of is your shopping cart template.

I would suggest that you seek help from the team of Puresilva. When I was reading the testimonials of the clients, it shows that they are very satisfied with Puresilva, and that puresilva made it easy for them to understand the concept of selling online.

When I visited their available templates, the blue template below caught my attention in an instant. I am partial to three-column templates because I am able to maximize the use of the space on the site. Puresilva have a lot of professional-looking websites. Aside from that, it also has added functionalities. An owner has the option to add a blog, a forum, and photo gallery.

German Shoe (Schuhe) Shop

One of my favorite past time, together with my lovely daughters, is shopping for clothes, accessories, and of course, shoes. Luckily, our shoe sizes are almost identical.That's why it's okay for us to borrow each other's shoes. We have pretty much the same preferences when it comes to shoe styles. But since, I am a lot older than my girls, I choose basic colors like black and brown. One of my girls likes bright colors. However, those bright colored shoes do not match my wardrobe at all.

We love going to the malls on weekends. I taught my girls to save up for something they want. My husband and I do not spoil them that much. We teach them the value of money but of course, they can buy whatever they want with their savings. So, whenever we have extra money, we shop together. It's our way to bond and also unwind at the same time.

If we do not have the time to go to the mall, we do our shopping online. Since internet has been introduced, I think more and more people are embracing online shopping. It's convenient and you can do it anytime as long as you have access to the internet.

While doing our usual online shopping, we stumbled upon Boomshoes, a German shoe (schuhe) shop. They have available shoes for men and women. They also sell bags and accessories. As expected, we feasted our eyes on their list of Damenstiefel (Lady's shoes). They have popular brands such as Guess, Converse, Timberland, Chucks, Gola and many more.

There are so many nice designs on Boomshoes. We spend hours checking out their stocks. I can definitely say that my daughters' penchant for shoe shopping is something that they got from me.

My daughters and I voted for our most favorite pair of shoes on the site. And our choice is this beautiful pair of black Guess high heel sandals.



What's Your Personality Type?

What's with personality quizzes? It makes me wonder how a personality test captures a person's personality by merely answering a few question. So to test its accuracy, I answered "What's Your Personality Type?" quiz on Blogthings.



You Are An ISFP


The Artist

You are a gifted artist or musician (though your talents may be dormant right now).

You enjoy spending your free time in nature. You are good with animals and children.

Simply put, you enjoy beauty in all its forms. You live for the simple pleasures in life.

Gentle, sensitive, and compassionate - you are good at recognizing people's unspoken needs.


In love, you are quiet and sweet yet very passionate. You love easily.

You have an underlying love for all living things, and it's easy for you to accept someone into your heart.

At work, you do best in an unconventional position. You express yourself well and can work with almost anyone.

You would make a good veterinarian, pediatrician, or composer.

How you see yourself: Sympathetic, kind, and communicative


When other people don't get you, they see you as: Incompetent, insecure, and overly sensitive


In regard to the not-so-good perception about me, sometimes, I admit, I can be overly sensitive. =) Anyway, I always wanted to become a vegetarian but I cook for my family and they love beef recipes. Someday, I would try to be a vegetarian.

WebDir.biz Business Directory

Starting a new website is fairly easy. However, promoting your site is another story especially if it's a business website. There's a lot of competition online. The sites that fall on the first page of search results often has an edge to those websites whose existence online does not make a noise at all.

Hence, it's a good thing to submit your site to a list of business directories. While browsing online, a Business Web Directory caught my attention. They have varied categories for every businesses out there. They have categories such as Investing, Forex, Finance, Health Care, Accounting and many other.

The business directory I am referring to is Webdir Biz. So if you want your company listed on this Business Portal, simply submit your company name on the site. Regular links cost only $29, while featured links is at $79. This is fairly an affordable amount in order to gain popularity for your company name.

Chel's Secret


People say I look younger than my age. That's such a flattering compliment. I am aware of that but that's not something out of pure luck and good genes. I really took care of my skin and health. There's a lot of expensive beauty products out there, but they won't be as effective as they should if you do not get enough sleep, eat the right kind of food and exercise regularly. I use an affordable wrinkle cream to help retain the moisture in my akin and prevent more wrinkles on my face. The most important of all, have a happy and sunny disposition!


When is the Next Google Page Rank Update?

I am one of those bloggers who are always anticipating for the next Google Page Rank update. For some, it does not matter to them. But I would be hypocrite if I say that I do not care about it at all. Of course, I want a higher Page Rank. The higher, the better. It has been circulating online that the next Page Rank update will be on the last week of September. I'm crossing my fingers that I won't lose my PR. I will be happier if it will get much higher!

Future Plans

My husband and I are not getting any younger. Whenever we have a chance to talk, we plan more about our future when our children choose to be on their own. There's still a lot of things that we want to do together such as traveling to some places.

Aside from that, there are also things that we need to take care of that we'll surely need when we get older. I mentioned to him about getting a low cost health insurance. We agreed that we'll do our research about which companies offers the most affordable ones and then we'll come up with a decision after that. Anyway, I am just glad to say I have the perfect partner. =)

Online Phone Shops

My cousin who works as a nurse in the UK had sent me a nicely packed gift. When I opened the box, it's the phone that I have been planning to buy. It's a Nokia N97! For those who are curious on how this phone model looks like, check this photo:


As soon as I received it, I tried to see if she was online so we could chat. I was able to catch her online at that time. She told me how she got the phone. She mentioned that there's a lot of UK phone shops. Luckily, she found phone-shops.co.uk which has a good list of mobile phone stores UK. So, she bought the phone online from one of the stores listed on the Phone Shops UK. It's very convenient because the item was delivered to her house. If you are looking for contract mobile shop as well, you can also refer to the site mentioned.

Right now, I am trying to learn how to use my new phone.

On Gaining Weight

It's the start of the 'ber' months. I am definitely looking forward to the holidays. For us, holidays mean family reunions, lots of family gatherings to attend and also celebrating the spirit of the holiday season.

Holiday is such a wonderful time especially because we come from a big family. The only downside is that, I gain weight during that time of the year. That's what I notice. I guess it's because of all the parties we have to attend and I just cannot say 'no' when people offer me to taste what they cooked.

This time, I have to learn how to decline politely. If not, I may see myself using diet pills after the holidays. I do not see anything wrong with diet pills as long as an individual has consulted their doctors before taking the pills.

In the Club - 2NE1

Dara (known as Sandara Park in the Philippines) is now a member of a popular girl group in Korea. Ever since their debut single, I had been an avid fan and follower of their group.

This is the group's performance on SBS's Inkigayo on September 13th. This will be the last for their mini album.

If you would notice, Sandara's voice cracked (2:00) but nevertheless she delivered a great performance. She looks really pretty. The other girls also rock!

Best Face Cream

There's a wide variety of face cream in the market. Well, with people's obsession with beauty, I would not be surprised if there would be more face creams in the market in the near future.

As a consumer, I do not really know which among them is the best. I use my good old moisturizer but I think I need to go with something that can help when it comes to my wrinkles.

Most of manufacturers has their own advertising and marketing style to lure the users. But, I would rather ask feedback from those who have tried using the facial product before testing it on my own skin. But be sure that you know your skin type so that you can get the right one for you.

Rainy Days


These past few days, it has been raining really hard. I am just lucky that I am not obliged to go out or go anywhere else. But my family has to do their thing like going to work and school. That's why I worry about them getting stuck somewhere because of the heavy rain. So, I make sure that they have credits on their phone, they bring their umbrella and they always have their cellphone batteries charged.

What Teens Go Through

Adolescence is that period when individuals go through a lot of changes. I have been through that but that was a long time ago and it's another story. I have seen my daughters experience those changes. As a mom, I was able to be there for them and give them handful of advice about it.

My daughters are comfortable telling me everything. We talked about crushes, the changes in their body, and even pimple and acne treatment. I told them to just enjoy that stage in their lives. Just have fun because before they know it, their teen years would have passed and they to face adult life.
