Simple Pero Rock

This is a blog review entry for Bambie’s My Thoughts, My Heart, My Turf Anniversary Contest.



This site really rocks, not to mention the site’s owner - red or marose or redamethyst.


Just by the name and site itself, you can clearly say that this working mom, blogger, ptc-forum and other online earning site addict’s favorite color is red. The site is neatly set-up with a lot of red, pink and girly stuffs (flowers, etc).


She’s into a lot of good Memes that I also adopted upon seeing on her blog such as Post-It Tuesday and Boggle Me Thursday.


And she surely loves contest! She sponsors and joins a lot (she even had a separate blog for contests alone). And the latest news was she won $100 in the You Say Too bookmarking contest, congrats red!


I’ll not elaborate more on this review because since she is one of my sponsors in the upcoming YTBC (Yuuki’s TwinBlogversary Contest) I promised to make another review of her blogs.

Using Levitra to Treat Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is something no man wants to deal with. Unfortunately it is something that many men do face and, until recently when drugs such as Levitra arrived, they did not have many effective options to address the issue.

Historically, the process of treating erectile dysfunction was experimental and often painful. Treatments included penile implants, pumps, and even penile injections. Due to these limited treatments options, many men chose to simply suffer in silent embarrassment. Thankfully, drugs such as Levitra have arrived in recent years to greatly simplify the treatment process and improve the lives of men diagnosed with impotence. Although drugs such as Levitra are not a cure for erectile dysfunction, they can be used whenever a man wants to have sex in order to treat the problem.

Drugs such as Levitra have not only simplified the treatment process for erectile dysfunction, they have dimmed the embarrassment that some men feel regarding their diagnosis. Although impotence is a common occurrence in men, it is not something that many wish to discuss with others. A healthy sex drive is often directly linked to a man’s level of perceived masculinity so an erectile dysfunction diagnosis can be truly debilitating. Additionally, impotence used to be viewed as a psychological problem. However, it is becoming more clear that this is not the case.

Men seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction should use caution when searching for drugs such as Levitra. These are prescription drugs so it is important to discuss any and all side effects with a doctor before moving forward with a treatment plan. As with any medical treatment, there can be risks associated with these drugs, so a thorough review of medical histories is important to avoid any complications.

Discerning online poker tells at caesars online

It is easy enough to notice a tell when you are inside a casino and can see an opponent in front of you. What do you do if that same opponent is behind a computer screen where you can't see them? The next time you visit Caesars Online, here is an idea of what to look for if you want to spot another player's tells.

Pay attention to speed of play.

Every online poker room, at a site like Caesars Online, has a set number of seconds for a player to decide to go all-in or fold. In this situation, a quick bet can be a sign of a novice player. A slower bet can indicate a seasoned player who considers their strategy before proceeding with a hand.

Watch opponents fold/flop percentage.

A good way to measure how well you stack up against a potential opponent at Caesars Online is to pay attention to how often they fold versus going after a pot. If a player folds frequently, you might be matched up against a tough competitor who is waiting for the right moment to pounce. If you see an opponent who stays in a large number of pots, you might have decent odds of winning, if you play your hand right.

Gauge chat boxes.

Talkative opponents, whether in person or at Caesars Online, can make that tendency to chatter a big tell for their hand. Talkative players who grow quiet on a hand likely have good cards. Emotional players tend to not play good hands until they get their emotions under control. Antagonistic players try to project confidence as a means to intimidate and bluff opponents in hopes that they will fold and pull out of the hand. Be aware of these tendencies from opponents when considering how far to go with a hand.

Making Engagement Diamonds Appear Larger

Not everyone can afford three months salary for a Tacori engagement ring, especially in these economic times. If the budget does not allow for a whopper, there are ways to make a smaller stone appear larger than its carat weight.

Several stone settings can make a diamond appear larger than it really is. Tacori engagement rings with diamonds set in bezel settings, or a rim that completely surrounds the gem, tend to appear much larger. Platinum or white gold bezel settings complement white diamonds, where yellow gold bezel settings can give stones a yellowish tint. Tacori engagement rings with pave settings make smaller stones appear larger because of the setting’s design. Pave settings resemble an unending surface of stones, but it’s really made of tiny diamonds set into small holes in a surface that’s almost flush with the entire setting, making it hard to differentiate between individual stones. Sophisticated, detailed pave settings can be quite expensive; keep that in mind when considering a pave setting. Illusion settings, where the stone is mounted to a reflective plate, make stones look more brilliant and larger.

It isn’t just the setting that can amplify a stone’s appearance; the shape can make a big difference as well. Fancy-shaped diamonds usually appear bigger than princess-cut or round diamonds of the same carat weight. Elongated shapes like the marquise, pear and oval cuts are even better for a size boost.

After considering shape and setting to stretch dollar while shopping for a Tacori engagement ring, one may be tempted to go with a shallower cut to make the diamond appear larger. While diamonds cut more shallow will seem bigger than stones of the same weight with deeper cuts, the brilliance of the shallow stones are diminished as light travels out the rear of the stones instead of being reflected out the face.

TwDrama: Because of You

I think…I think I’ll gotta love this one.


I was checking what’s new in Taiwan ’s idol drama scene and this got my attention because of Baron Chen. Remember him as Dylan of Fated To Love You? Well I do because at some point I wanted him to end up with Xin Yi.


But the problem is I have too much drama series (both US and Asian) in queue, so I guess it will go again to my Watch List.

Roberto Coin's Rise to Popularity

Roberto Coin’s luxurious jewelry designs surfaced in 1977 and swiftly became one of the top jewelry brands in the world. In its infancy, Roberto Coin Company did not focus on trying to catch up with the older, more established brands, but rather hone in on its mission and future goals.

Roberto Coin’s main focus when starting out was to produce amazing fine jewelry for other well-known, distinguished jewelry companies. Roberto Coin provided fine jewelry for other brands for 19 years before their reputation and quality demanded that the company introduce their own brand in 1996. The Roberto Coin jewelry line flaunted dazzling diamonds and glittering yellow gold jewelry for which the Roberto Coin name is still known.

The company blended in easily with the array of leading jewelry brands. Some of these brands were the very brands in which Roberto Coin had worked for years earlier. Roberto Coin became the seventh most know jewelry brand in the United States, in 2000, after only four years on their own. Just a couple of years later, in 2002, the brand became the third best-known competitor among all Italian jewelers.

Currently, Roberto Coin pursues new, fashion-forward jewelry designs, in addition to the already immense and superb collections. By nurturing collections for years, Roberto Coin keeps the style, feel and look of each collection current with ever-changing fashion trends. Collections such as Haute Couture, Boutique, Fashion, Animalier and Celebration can be found both online and in stores. It’s best to explore the amazing collections in person in one of their stores located in the United States, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia and its nearby South Seas islands.

Roberto Coin Company takes immense pride in their place in the jewelry industry and amongst jewelry elite. A dramatic rise to popularity that leaves one dizzy--the story of Roberto Coin Company—one of the best and most celebrated jewelry brands.

Too much drama

I’m not really into Tagalog movies or drama series because I find it too much.


Life is already too complicated but they tend to overact almost everything. And I don’t need an extra baggage.


Why am I saying this, yesterday I attended a bday party and when I arrived they were watching the movie Miss You Like Crazy of John Lloyd and Bea. I missed the first parts so I have to ask once in a while the background story.


We were all in tears and rooting of course for JL and Bea to be together. And it did happen at the end. Horray!


But it made me think, what if you were the original gf of JL (I forgot her name)? The love, time and effort you made suddenly became null and void. That hurts. Would you still root for them? It was pointed out by a friend that sometimes love was not the only reason why you choose one over the other. Still that would hurt (if he has chosen to be with the girl he’s not in love with). Wow, that IS complicated!


I told you I don’t want to watch these kinds of movies! I tend to over analyze things.


Too much drama indeed.


---


You might be curious because of my contradicting stance - I AM a Drama Queen (my blog says so), but I prefer Korean, Japanese or Taiwanese because they have simpler approach. And I also stay away into too much drama what they call melodrama or tragedy. I prefer light drama or romantic comedy.


Because life itself is a drama.

Bambie's Thoughts

Better late than never, so the cliche goes. That's why Bambie's so happy to announce the latest, well actually the last, sponsor for her contest. Who is it? Kizuna Who or what is Kizuna? Kizuna is the Japanese term for ties and bonding. The blog owner, Clarissa, is a Filipina married to a Japanese and living, naturally, in Japan. Her blog is basically her outlet and this is where she writes about her family, her children and practically everything that's related to being a wife, a mother and a woman. She's kind enough to sponsor make-up goodies for this contest!☺

Another sponsor who deserves special mention since Bambie failed to include her link in earlier posts is

  • Babies and Contests. Ria will gladly sponsor 2000 EC credits and 1 month AD space in her high ranking blog.☺

    Drama Sampler

    I was curious about the ongoing KDrama Oh My Lady! so yesterday I started watching the first ep. It didn’t spark my interest so I stopped (for the meantime) but the comments said that it gets better on the succeeding eps, instead I’ll keep it on my watch list.

    Today, I check the viikii site and saw that it already has the first two eps of KDrama Personal Taste starring Lee Min Ho. I gotta watch this, as in NOW NA!


    I’ll keep you updated later? or in the next few days.
