19 inch LCD TVs

I used to have a 21 inch LCD monitor in my computer at the office and it makes all my tasks visible and helps in my being efficient. Now that I'm mostly at home and wants to maximize my relaxation, I was hoping to get a 19-inch LCD TV. I can also use this LCD TV as a PC monitor and display photos and videos. Amazing!

Dolphin Watching in Bohol

The reason why we chose to have our vacation in Bohol over Boracay in year 2007 is this - Dolphin watching. The kids love the experience! When we went to see then, they all came and surrounded us, all hundreds of them and some made jumps like this. Amazing!

Then the Balicasag Island tour made our day, with the school of fishes surrounding our boat each time we feed them. The water is clear enough to see the corals, different shapes, colors and sizes. Too bad, we didn't had the opportunity to see them up close by snorkeling because we cannot leave the kids in the boat. The boatman says, that place is the sanctuary of fishes and corals, a must-see for tourists. I hope to be back there someday.

If you want to really enjoy your summer vacation, head to Bohol and have the experience of a lifetime. Stay in the Bohol Beach Club / Dumaluan shoreline for a quiet and clean beach front. Watch the tarsiers - smallest monkey in the world and be serenaded while having lunch in a river cruise. Of course, don't forget the Chocolate Hills, all this and many other surprises make up for the adventure of your lives.

Trendy and inexpensive eyeglasses

I came across this internet site while looking for new frames. The #1 online Rx glasses store provides a wide range of trendy frames and different types of lenses. I was thinking of getting bifocal lenses, good thing Zenni Optical is the place to find the lowest price progressive glasses. I saw this Titanium frame and wonder if this frame can be used with a progressive lens. There are other styles to choose from and somehow I can't decide whicn one to buy. All these eyeglasses are real good finds because of its value for money advantage.

I'm not the only one who find this site interesting and highly recommendable. Eric's Review of Zenni Optical is so helpful and information.

Mattamy Homes @ Mount Pleasant

I got this free magazine on new homes and upon seeing the cover page which says "Village Square, Summer Pond, Winter Rink", I was intrigued. Then I realized that this is a perfect place to live. This neighborhood in Brampton has it own place for shopping, dining, entertainment, strolling and recreation. What I love to see are the parks, trails, playground, and other recreation facilities. It even has its own skating rink during winter and a pond during summer. There will be a village square along the lines of small-town squares and a library as central gathering space that connects people at the centre of the Village.

I was dreaming having my own bakeshop or coffeeshop in the main street where it will combine live/work spaces that will be great opportunity for family businesses, retail opportunities and professional services. Homes on the main street will have garages at the back, so the streetscape is more pleasing.

But then I saw this model, I couldn't help but drool. I like the grassed courtyard where my kids can play or Lito and I can relax sitting on lounges while waiting for the barbecue. I hope we can have something like this for our own home.

Toronto tour via Citypass

When Irvin and Faye visited us last Christmas, we chose to tour them via the Citypass. It's a booklet of tickets to five Toronto attractions which only cost US$ 57.82 each adult, a whopping 50% savings compared to buying the tickets separately. The Toronto Citypass included Toronto's major attractions like the CN Tower, Casa Loma, Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario Science Center and Toronto Zoo. The CN Tower tour included the motion-ride, glass floors and the tour at the top. What's amazing is that if you are a Citypass holder, you need not line up at the ticket booths which we took advantage at the long queues in these attractions.

If you're a first time traveller or just want to see Toronto's most famous spots at discounted prices, Citypass is the way to do it. You have nine days to finish all the attractions with Citypass. Booklets also provide you with attraction information, transportation directions, best times to visit, a map, and expert advice on where to find distinctive Toronto tastes, goods, and off-beat places from the experts at National Geographic Traveler magazine. Toronto CityPass is your guide to Toronto – and it fits in your pocket.

The other side of San Francisco - Marin County

As young as he is, my firstborn already knows and looks forward going to the popular tourist destinations like the Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate bridge. He saw some of my photos during my US trip last 2008 and he said he wants to have a picture taken in the NY and San Francisco landmarks. I also want to go back to San Francisco because I only had 6 hours to see the city. This time, I would love to see the Marin County side and avail the Mill Valley Hotel Deals.

There’s this hotel that we always stayed on while in the US and I’m sure there is a Holiday Inn California to try there. I like to explore this side of California because of its scenic beauty. This Mill Valley Holiday Inn is surrounded by trees and bird sanctuary and there’s also a biking and jogging path to provide the guests options for physical activities while on their vacation. After going around San Francisco and exploring the different sites and attractions, it’s a pleasant nook to stay in this side for the much needed rest and relaxation. A modern respite with the latest technology in your rooms in the midst of natural beauty.

Hippo Tours - the Bus that floats

Since Toronto is a business city of Canada, those who are in business trips who want to see Toronto in between meetings will find this tour helpful. This also applies to those tourists who are just passing by Toronto on their way to other Canada destinations like Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal etc. The Hippo tours is the most unique way to see Toronto in one continuous journey on both land and water on an amphibious bus called "The Hippo". A one-of-a-kind, 90-minute tour of Toronto with an unforgettable splash into Lake Ontario to tour the waterways of Ontario Place. Tour of downtown Toronto highlights many of the city's major landmarks and attractions including CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Hockey Hall of Fame, Eaton Centre, Dundas Square, the Discovery District, Old and New City Hall, University of Toronto, trendy Queens Street west, Harbourfront Centre and lots more. The tour is fully narrated by knowledgeable guides to provide you with the historical and cultural flavour of the city. I can't wait to ride here with my parents or in-laws who will appreciate the tour without walking.
