Holiday Glasses Frames

Finding great glasses for cheap isn't an easy feat. Try finding those designer frames at your local optical shop in the mall for a reasonable price, let alone a good price! I remember when the Superstore first opened up near my house, I didn't expect to find a nice little optical shop right inside a grocery store. But there it was, they had great looking frames, and some great looking designer frames too. They had a grand opening sale where you could buy one pair of prescription glasses and get another pair of prescription glasses for half price. On top of that, I made friends with the guy at the store, and he gave me an additional friends and family discount. All in all I got a great pair of prescription glasses and another pair of prescription sunglasses for about $20 each! An optometrist friend of mine even asked me if they were Armanis. I didn't tell her they were actually grocery store glasses.

Well, it's not everyday that you're going to find a great deal like that on glasses. But check out ZenniOptical.com's wonderful selection of Holiday frames. With the wide selection of frames and lenses they have, you can't go wrong. Plus there's the added convenience of doing it all online. See, I even found glasses that look like my prized "Armanis":


So if you need new glasses and want a great deal, check out Zenni Optical. Their website gives you a wide variety of shopping choices. Like $8, $9.95, $12.95, $15.95, $19 metal frames, $19 plastic frames, titanium frames, rimless frames and much much more!

Things Work Out

I just talked to my cousin in New Jersey and she asked me to be the godfather of one of her twins.... I said hecks ya!... it worked out great because I have an exam around the same time.... at first I tried to move my exam to January, but the earliest I could move it to was in Februay.... well, it turns out that there was a good reason for me to take the exam in February.... there's even enough time for me to rearrange things so that I can make just one trip to the New York, New Jersey area....

Designer Costume Jewelry

My mother has a lot of jewelry, ever since I was a young kid, we have been gifting her with jewelry boxes to house her ever enlarging collection. If you ask me, I wouldn't be able to tell between a piece of "real" jewelry and a piece of costume jewelry. Well, maybe I'd be able to tell if it came out of a gum-ball machine... maybe? But seriously, I was very surprised when Ann showed me some of the costume jewelry that she sells in her store. They all looked so "real". She said that a lot of brides like to get all blinged up for their weddings, but want to stay within budget, which makes sense.

If you're looking for some designer costume jewelry, then you need to check out Holsted Jewelers. They have been designing jewelry, gifts and accessories since 1971. No matter what your taste or budget, their designers create a wide variety of unique designs created to the highest standards.

With their commitment to craftsmanship, beauty and quality of their product, you'll be sure to impress yourself and your friends, with their designer costume jewelry.

Christmas Gift Returns

I got my brother an iPod FM radio transmitter for Christmas.... it's looked great and everything, but the reception is horrible, so I told him I'd return it and get him another one.... it worked out I guess, because the other ones that are available are cheaper..... I was supposed to go back to the store early this morning, but I wasn't feeling well..... I'm just hoping that there isn't a long line at the return counter.... I hate waiting in line.... wish me luck....

Nermal and Feeling Sick

I just fed Nermal a late lunch/early dinner. I asked him if he was hungry and he replied "meeeoooow", but it sounded more like "Ya I'm hungry, what are you stupid or something?". Anyways, he just finished a few seconds ago and he comes upstairs to the computer and complains that it wasn't enough. Since I'm trying not to be distracted, just ignored him, and he eventually gave up and went to the corner to sulk and groom. Anyways, I am really feeling sick now, it's not funny anymore. I submitted my list of programs, but I'm still working on my PS. I got a little worried, because one of the documents that was assigned to the programs has not yet been scanned. I'm hoping that they will scan it next week. Oh well, I'm not going to worry about it. I'm feeling really sick and I think I should just lie down.... I know I'm getting sick when my gums start to tingle.... is that weird?

Check out their website and check out this video from the people at Monex Precious Metals to find out more about investing in gold and other precious metals.

New Year's Eve Eve

After the plans to go to Times Square fell through, I'm trying to figure out where we're going to spend New Year's Eve.... I'm thinking of just going to City Hall, but I'm thinking it's probably going to be freakin' cold.... I don't know how long we'll be able to withstand it.... I'm not too sure about what kind of a show they'll be putting on either..... maybe we could just pretend we're in New York Times Square... it'll probably be warmer there what with all the lights....

Interesting Lost

Okay that was an interesting episode of Lost.... I guess a little bit more character development.... never really liked those two though.... but it was interesting that they had discovered the second hatch before everybody else and how the guy over-heard Ben's plans to get Jack to do the surgery.... now why the heck didn't he tell the rest of the people, I mean why wouldn't you tell everybody that you saw the others and heard what they said.... stupid....

Spa Jobs

When Ann and I went of vacation in the tropics a few years ago, she made me go to a spa at the resort we were at. I say "made me go" because I had never been to a spa, nor had I ever gotten a massage from a stranger. I'm pretty ticklish, and the idea of a stranger touching me makes me feel like I'd be even more ticklish. Well, it wasn't so bad. I didn't really enjoy it that much though. I'd rather get a massage from Ann, wink wink nudge nudge....

There was a recent announcement from BeautyJobs.com about the launch of a Beauty Industry Job Placement Website that will connect qualified job seekers with salon and spa owners and others who have beauty, salon, spa, or cosmetology jobs to fill—free of charge. BeautyJobs.com is a great search engine for those looking for spa jobs. I know if Ann wasn't so busy with her store, she would probably start her cosmetology job hunt there. She did a course, and got her certificate to be an aethestician a long time ago. She never got to pursue that field after she decided to go to university and get her B.A., but she's always trying out her skills on my skin!

If you're looking for a job in a salon or spa, then you should start your job hunt there. But if you're an employer, you can also benefit from BeautyJobs.com, by allowing you to sift through hundreds of applicant profiles. Good luck with the Job hunt!

Lost is Winding Down

Holy crap, the new and I think final season of Lost is coming.... Space is going to be airing back to back episodes starting Jan 5 so that they can squeeze in all the remaining episodes before the season premiere of the final season starts on Jan 20.... so that will be 7-9 pm Monday-Thursday starting Jan 5 up to Jan 20.... can't wait.... that show is the best....

Fail!

Well, plans to go to New York for New Year's Eve in Times Square have fallen through.... first I couldn't find anybody who wanted to brave the hours that you have to spend standing and waiting for the ball to drop.... if you want a great spot you should get there by 3-5pm.... so that9-7 hours of waiting.... then there's the expensive flights.... then there's the fact that everybody else already have plans it I can't find a place to crash.... oh well, there's always next year....

Garden Roses

I have a couple of weddings to go to in January. From what I hear and see, planning a wedding is serious and stressful work. I can't imagine how a DIY bride (and possibly groom) can do it. My friend Christine just got married in August, and she did it all herself. I can't imagine how she did it with so many things you need to get together. It's no wonder wedding planning is a booming business. The flowers alone seems too complicated for me. Luckily there's a place for for DIY brides, event planners and wedding coordinators: FiftyFlowers.com! They've got a wide variety of wedding flowers from garden roses, calla lilies, rose petals, gerbera daisies, hydrangeas, peonies and many other flowers and greens. Wow, I never knew there were so many choices. And with their experience in wedding flowers for 10 years, you know you'll have the best choice and variety. They will deliver your flowers fresh from the flower farms in Ecuador, Colombia, California and other exotic locations so you know they'll be fresh!

No Lost Tonight

There's no episode of Lost tonight... I was reading the space networks website, and I read there that they will be airing two episodes a night when season 4 kicks in.... that way they'll be able to air all the episodes from seasons 1 through 4 just minutes from the season premier of season 5.... that'll be wicked awesome.... I can't wait to find out what the heck is going on on that island.... I think season 5 is the last season....

Darnit!

I was working on some posts for Blog itive, but when I had finished my post, it wouldn't accept it when I tried to submit it! What a waste of time and blog space. It also resulted in me running out of time to submit three posts. I kept getting a message that it was not accepted because my post did not contain the necessary link.... but it did... oh well, next time I'll just move on to the next post....

Cuban Cigars

Nothing like some scotch on the rocks an a good Cuban cigar while listening to some Coltrane to wind down on after a long hard day. I have never been to Cuba, but their cigars sure are good. A friend of mine just moved out of his house, and asked a bunch of his buddies to help him move. After it was done, he pulled a box out of his freezer and opened it offering us each a Cuban cigar. That's not enough of a thank you after moving all his heavy furniture, so we decided to go out to a cigar bar after we all got cleaned up and had some dinner. Great night. So guys, are you looking for
Cuban Cigars? Don't look further than BestCigarPrices.com. They have discounts on major brand and boutique line cigars, sampler packs, cigar accessories, humidors, and more. They will even ship to your door fast! Check them out, it's a great gift for you buddies.

Exam Move

I just moved my exam from December 22 to February 11. I thought that it was just too close to Christmas, since it is a 2 day exam. So either I would fly home on Christmas Eve Day, or I fly home immediately after my exam on the 23. I guess that could be done too, but you never know what might happen, and I don't want to risk any problems.... I guess Feb 11 is a little far off, but I'll just have to keep an eye on it and move it earlier if I can....

Following

I just signed up with the new blogger feature of following blogs.... it's great, I can easily find out whenever one of my blogger friends has updated and be the first one on their blog to comment.... I find such satisfaction in writing a comment "I'm first!" hehe.... it's also so convenient so I don't have to jump from blog to blog to look for updates....

Leather Padfolios

Right before I left for New York to go to that big interview, I had to prepare. I didn't just have to prepare mentally, but I had to prepare appearance-wise as well. I made sure my hair was trimmed, my suit was pressed, my shoes were shined. I wanted to finish off "the look" with a professional looking folder where I could place all the documents and papers that I was going to need for the interview. Luckily, while I was rummaging through the basement, I found an old, but still very presentable leather padfolio. I think it polished off my presentation of myself to the interviewer. If you are going for interview, or maybe some business or professional presentation, don't leave home without a leather padfolio. Don't have one? Then check out the Leather Padfolios at Leather Tree. They also have a wide selection of porfolios, wallets, purses, briefcases, binders, and even luggage, plus a whole lot more. Check out their selection of corporate gifts and accessories too!

Big Ticket

I have wasted entirely too much time on the Live.ca Big Ticket giveaway thing.... it's where you use their search engine and each search you make gives you a chance to win a prize? If the two "tickets" turn over and match each other, then you win whatever appears on them.... well, it's just a big waste of time.... either that or I'm just the most unlucky person when it comes to winning stuff.....

Tony Harris Is Alright

Have I just gotten used to Tony Harris, or has he actually toned down the yelling? I think he's actually relaxed a bit and I will even go so far as to say that I like watching CNN when he's on the air.... hmmmm, I hope I'm just not desensitized to yelling t.v. news anchors....

Allegra Medical Supplies

When I was interviewing at a hospital in New York city, I learned that they were just starting up a fellowship in geriatrics. I never really thought about geriatrics as a career path, but with only a year-long fellowship, it's starting to look good. Plus with the baby boomer generation getting older, it's probably a specialty that will be in demand. Baby boomers getting older also means more and more households are requiring medical supplies and daily living aids. Things like shower chairs, daily living aids, blood pressure monitors, diabetic supplies, emergency preparation supplies, and heart monitors. They even have supplies for kids, nursing mothers, and everybody else in between. Things like breast feeding pillows, maternity care products, wound care supplies, catheters, pediasure, carpel tunnel gloves, sexual well-being products, exercise and fitness gear, and much much more. You can find a wide variety and selection of medical equipment at AllegraMedical .com. Check them out and search through 55,000 products, under 50 categories and hundreds of sub-categories. Whether you need supplies for your home or for a public venue AllegraMedical can help you find it.

Transfers

Oh crap, I just realized that I have some bills that are due soon.... plus the car payment is going to be withdrawn soon.... I better get my ass to bank and make sure I transfer funds into the right accounts.... speaking of transfers, I've been getting transfer checks from one of my credit cards, with a lower interest rate.... plus when the lower rate offer ends, the interest rate is still lower than my other credit cards.... I'm just hoping for that job in NY, so I can seriously pay down these credit card bills....

Lost Picking Up

Whoaw, Lost just stepped it up a notch last night. With the introduction of the Others and Desmond and the Dharma Project etc. Yeeehaw. I think my original theory that they were actually dead and were on some kind of alternate dimension of reality playing out their new existence together was wrong. If that was the plot, then I don't think the series would last for four seasons. I thought that it was already over and that was why Space was showing the re-runs, but I just found out that the new season starts sometime early 2009. Can't wait, hope Space finishes all the previous seasons before that.

Buying Prescription Eyeglasses

Do you all remember how I blogged about the new Superstore next to my house a couple of years ago. It's a great grocery store/ department store with good prices, but what really impressed me was that they had a great optical department. I never thought I would buy glasses from a grocery store, but I couldn't resist their prices. I made friends with the sales guy there, and he even gave me a family and friends discount. To make a long story short, I was able to buy a great pair of glasses for twenty bucks! The first time I wore my glasses to a public event, was our office Christmas party. I don't wear my glasses at work because it would've confused the patients, so when one of my optometrist friends saw me, she commented. She asked me if my glasses were Armanis! I said if you think they're Armanis, then Armani it is! My point is that expensive doesn't always mean better.

Well, if you want to get great glasses for only $15 US, then you need to check out Optical4Less! They offer a wide selection of eyeglasses, from tinted sunglasses, bifocals, progressive reading glasses or photochromic sunglasses. Prescription eyeglasses even include Anti-reflective coating for free. Plus you can do your shopping all online. You'll never buy another pair of glasses from your local store again! They even have a "virtual try-on system" that you need to check out.
Free and fast worldwide shipping (if you order more than 1 pair). Check out their happy customers here: http://www.optical4less.com/testimonial.htm

So check out the trendy, fashionable, and stylish frames at Optical4Less.

Eko

Man, Lost is crazy good.... I think that I'm on season 2 right now, and it just keeps twisting and turning. I was sad to see Mr. Eko die on today's episode. His story was very interesting. His last memory before he died was of him walking with his little brother.... makes me think that maybe I was on to something when I originally thought that they were in some kind of purgatory-like state before they pass on to the next dimension.... I don't know we'll find out this coming January when the final season starts.... can't wait....

Can't Sleep Again

I hate having insomnia.... I haven't been able to sleep for the past week, ever since I got back from New York.... I hate waiting to hear about the results of my interview.... they said within the next week, and if not, I'll have to wait til March! I cannot survive if I will have insomnia until March.... seriously.... I'm hoping to hear from them soon.... oh man, I hope soon, I'm so freakin' tired!

Get Out of Debt!

Just a year ago, all the talk was about the sub prime mortgage crisis. Today, it's down right recession that has people more aware of debt management and how it can all go wrong if you don't do it right. I'm sure many people would appreciate help with debt management and avoiding bankruptcy. I know I personally find it a big challenge to balance and manage all of my debts. What with the mortgage, car payments, and credit cards, it can feel pretty daunting at times. Luckily, I have been able to keep everything afloat with no problems so far. Knock on wood. If you don't just want to manage your debt and actually want to get out of debt, then check out the DebtFreeLLC website. Their exclusive debt elimination and wealth building system can help you get out of personal debt and start living financially independent of the burdens of debt.

Clean-up

I haven't tweaked my blog template in ages.... unlike so many blogger friends who have changed their templates a hundred times, and even changed their url's and even their hosts.... I'm still with my original basic black blogger template.... I've embellished it over the years, adding a banner, adding different widgets, and adjusting widths and margins.... I guess I'm a clinger.... I cling to things that I'm comfortable with....

Black Friday Craziness

I was in New York for the Thanksgiving weekend, which included Black Friday.... I considered doing some shopping, but being low in cash, I didn't see how that was going to work out.... also I don't think I was prepared for the long lines and the crowds.... I certainly was not ready to hear that some poor guy was trampled to death.... for Wal-Mart stuff!!! c'mon people, Wal-Mart?!
