Cuteness Overload: Puppies vs Babies
This post brought to you by Puppies vs. Babies. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am dying of cuteness overload here. I've been staring at Jung Il Woo's adorable face, and I don't want to update my blog post for that reason. I want his picture forever engraved in my mind. And now I was asked to vote for Puppies vs. Babies online contest a battle in the cuteness category.
I am stuck. Why because I was imagining Jung Il Woo as a baby or if he has a baby and wonder how cute that would be. But it would be great if I am the mother of the baby. Then again I remembered he is actually a pet dog.
Help! I need some smacking on the head. Okay, I need to choose one and between Puppies vs. Babies I vote for Babies! I want one too, or maybe two in the future.
I guess this is really boils down to perception and experience. I have friends who are avid pet lovers and would definitely chose a puppy. Adorable, obedient and sweet puppy or dog. But for those moms out there there is no contest, definitely it's their babies. They say and I must agree that your mom is your number one fan.
How about you? Which is cuter a puppy or a baby? Share us your thoughts.

Tracfone: Get into Everywhereness
This post brought to you by TracFone. All opinions are 100% mine.
Missing in action? I guess my drama queen persona is tired with summer and such, that’s why I opted to just communicate using Tracfone. Tracfone is the least expensive way to own and use cell phones in America. The Senior Value plan can vouch for that, I can call anywhere around the globe with the same rate to 60 international destinations at no extra cost! The theme Get into Everywhereness is at first weird but now I get their point.
The whole family can enjoy the different Tracfone packages because for as $9.99 monthly you get 50 minutes for that. I guess that’s enough for your kids while wandering and enjoying their summer breaks. But for more active user like me I prefer the $30 monthly plan with 200 minutes. And it is guaranteed that there will be no hidden charge, no credit checks and no activation or cancellation fees.
For phone selection, there are many models to choose from. There’s the basic cell phone with call and text capabilities or you can opt for a smart phone. All come with affordable price.
Even if I am missing in action, I still get in touch with my drama friends and is updated on the current K pop culture. Get into Everywhereness!

SOAW ending
And I did cry a lot, on ep 14 when Heon Jae told her mom her condition, it was the saddest part for me (coz I can relate!).
But surprisingly after that scene there was no major crying. More of acceptance, understanding and lots of love.
I thought Heon Jae will die on the end, though it is still implied that she would, the story shows her living each day without regret. She was asked by Ji Wook if she would rather not be sick, she said if she isn't she wouldn't have the courage to change herself, to speak up, meet him and let her mom remarry, etc.
The moral of the story is to live without regrets.

Emotions Overflow
Satisfied with Tracfone
This post brought to you by TracFone. All opinions are 100% mine.
Much as I love television dramas I hate real life dramas. I got into an argument over the cell phone and since I don't like to admit defeat the call lasted for hours. When the cell phone bill came, to my horror it was humongous! That's when I decided not to fight over the phone particularly over cell phones.
Good thing there is now the wireless service provider Tracfone, the cheapest way to use and own cell phones in America. Real TracFone customers can attest the authenticity of their plans. So many features are available and one can be sure to get what they really need.
If only I live in America, I could have chosen the annual plan with $119 only. But there are also the choice of a pre-paid plan or a monthly plan. It guarantees that there will be no surprise contracts, credit checks, activation or deactivation costs. The cell phone price starts from $10, only if you opt for a simple cell phone with basic features like call and text capabilities. This is advisable for parents to pick for their kids. If you like a smart phone it will cost you $29.99 with So many features like camera, web access, app capability and others.
No wonder many Real TracFone customers are very satisfied with their service.
