Holo just released an air mattress designed for preggies which has a hole in the middle to accommodate the future mom-to-be’s tummy. It can be used on water, outdoors or indoors.

No sign of aging whatsoever, huh!! Maybe that is why some people try to undergo a lot of cosmetic surgeries just to look like her- ageless..

Found this photo of Barbie, maybe around 70 years old. There are signs of aging but still beautiful though…

As a kid and not having any female siblings, I spent a lot of hours playing with my Barbie dolls alone. Finally gave them up when my brother had this teething issue- he chews on my doll’s hands and feet. I enjoyed playing with his matchboxes (model cars) after that. I don’t remember throwing those “valuable” toys of ours.. but never knew where they went. Sigh!

How? Well, you need patience and a lot of time.

My family and I had a flight to Singapore, I suppose the plane was overbooked. PAL announced if there are people or families who are willing to exchange their seats with seats fin the next flight (around 4 hours of waiting).

As compensation, you are given a voucher for a free flight within the year and you can go anywhere (for as long as it is equal to the miles of your original flight).

All four of us gave up our seats in the plane and warmed up the seats in the waiting area of the terminal. We do not have any plans for that day anyway… After several months, we used our voucher to go to Hong Kong for free. Well, we had to pay for the taxes though, but still way cheaper!

Out of 350 residents, half of them were able to go. These are the ones who are above 21 years old and go off from work.


Everybody are treated with accommodations from well-known hotels, meals from high-end restaurants and tickets for the famous Las Vagas shows. All are for free. Only, their experience would have to be videoed and photographed for Las Vagas’s promotion.

Las Vagas is spending $2.5 million to treat 125 small communities like this. They are looking for farming or ranching towns, with one gas station, one bank, and a few businesses. These are towns which are hard working and living simple lives.. compared to the glitzy and fast life in Vagas
