Swan-Like Outdoor Lighting Fixtures

I was particularly impressed when I saw these indoor lighting fixtures created by Tian Zhen. I probably need some of these in our condominium's living room but I won't be doing any move for now until I get my new sofa.

Tian Zhen is a Netherland-based lighting designer. He has been inspiring a lot of people with his creation and has satisfied a lot of clients around the globe. This indoor lighting fixture is very fragile looking. In fact, it moves or sways as people walk by according to a write up at Comtemporist. Love it!

The lamps are simply made from sheets of Tyvek paper sewn together and folded, with no extra hidden support. The lamps have a delicate leather base and slim wooden stands, all designed to ‘bring the Swan to life.’ The hanging Swan lamp has an ultra lightweight electric cable, allowing it to swing gently when people walk around, as if it’s actually alive.

Does Your Web Host Provide You Unlimited Hosting?

I've been blogging about web hosting before but this time, I'd like you guys to check on how your hosting provider is giving you the needed 'space' to keep your website or blog's data. I believe that not all web hosts provided unlimited web hosting, but there are those that offer such. So before you even check on it, I'd like you to really check and see the coverage of your plan and and see if its worth the dollars you're spending on them.

Not all web hosting solutions out there are created equal. Obviously there are other providers that are sensitive to the needs of webmasters and those that owns a blog and have little idea about what all these information are about. As a blogger, I never wanted to learn all these stuff as I see that it's all complicates the already little knowledge I have about the web! Lol. What I mean is, I really do not intend to learn all these stuff. Being able to blog and use my web hosts unlimited data plan is enough for me. Now, go and check if your provider gives you unlimited hosting. If now, better start looking.

A View of Binondo

Jaypee's photowalk a month ago changed the way we see the people of Binondo, Manila - a place where the hopeful souls thrive and where people co-exist to cherish life while it lasts. I understand that a picture speaks a thousand words so I present to you some of Jaypee's works.



How would you describe hope when it's almost gone?



We now neglect just how children deserve the right to live decently.



How do we face a bleak existence?



We all have the responsibility to prepare children for a happy future.

Enjoying the City Life

I've been around city for quite sometime now and I guess I've started to like it already. I've seen and visited some of the interesting restaurants in town and even the exotic ones and I think I've tasted what a real city offers.

The Casino de España beside our school, Instituto Cervantes de Manila, also offers entertainment to registered members. I haven't tried playing though given the fact that I'm not a member but I believe that they have the best casino games. I tried it at PAGCOR before and I enjoyed it. I think its a matter of knowing your personal limit on anything to make sure that you are not overspending. I was lucky enough to win almost PhP30,000 one time in slot machines to match the triple image thing by pulling the machine's lever. I got mom her new cellphone and bought myself some new furniture in my apartment hah!

I had a great time too because gaming houses offer casino bonus if your a newbie. The amount is enough for you to enjoy an hour worth of in-house games. Casinos aren't that bad afterall and its up to the player if he'll overindulge to it. And besides most of these are funding private and public charities so you know at least where your money is going.

Discovering Reiki

When I came here in Manila, I started to join groups that explores meditation and oriental healing practice. Aside from the usual mediation sessions I attend at Gratitude and Analei's house and once every Sunday meditation with JahFe who lives in Cebu, I recently joined session that involves Reiki attunement (not sure if this is the right spelling).

To give you a nice idea about Reiki, let me quote a bit of information about it from Wikipedia:

Reiki developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional bodies. Through the use of this technique, practitioners believe that they are transferring healing energy in the form of ki through the palms

I believe that we have the ability to heal other people at a certain degree. I definitely have faith in science but I also have faith in the power of the body and the soul to be healed through special meditation technique. Leaving you some of the pictures we took during the session at Ananda Marga.

LA Crime Defense Attorneys

I was watching television the other night when I zapped into a TV drama showing attorneys and court room scenarios. I kind of like these types of series since The Practice (I'm pretty sure you guys know this). Lawyers is one of the most admired professions in the planet and I think I'm not wired to be really in that post.

Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney are usually the kind of lawyers that dominates a courtroom scenario. I'm not sure what's with Los Angeles lawyers but they seem to be TV's favorite. I've heard a lot of people who have hired LA lawyers and the satisfaction was undeniably high. LA probably produces the best lawyers in the US and are most experienced and bear specialize degrees.

My friend who lives in there also dealt with an attorney from LA as well and she can't be very satisfied with the service she got from the lawyer. Nothing puts a smile on someone's face than to deal with someone who knows what he or she is doing. That's probably one reason why LA attorneys are famous. If you're thinking of getting an attorney yourself, you know where to find them.

Investing in Gold IRA

I'm not sure if you guys have heard about Individual Retirement Account or IRA before but this seems to be an interesting topic especially for those who are planning to secure their future. I've recently considered going for Gold IRA because gold never almost loses its value. I've heard a some friends talking about pensions and they mentioned about using this metal as an alternative to the traditional pension plans.

401k gold has one of the highest return on investment for people who are investing on their retirement. I believe that there are gold IRA transfer process where you could take your money from your 401k account and put it to gold IRA account. Mind you, after all the financial crisis, gold prices has remained to be stable.
