A PaintBall Celebration

May 24th, 2008 -- Posted in Amusing/Bizarre, Food Review, Gadgets, Japanese, Useful Links, Useful Tips | No Comments »

I’ve never played paintball till I came to Canada. The man’s buddy made a bet with us that we weren’t going to win because I was an amateur who had never played before but I did a little practice with some of the gals who had accompanied their boyfriends before the actual day and guess what? We didn’t lose.. in fact.. it was the buddy’s girlfriend that got him killed in the game. We went to a Japanese restaurant for the winning celebration.. and it had to be a real torture for the buddy because he can’t eat seafood.

My interest is of course heightened with winning the game but unfortunately we don’t have many places that sell paintball markers and its accessories. Someone recommended ECHO1 USA as they carry a wide range air guns, BB guns, replica guns and of course paintball markers and accessories like masks, holsters, gun trigger upgrades and more. They do have top quality guns and are perfect for target practice, plinking, hunting and games. The pricing is affordable and for orders over $199 they even offer free ground shipping for all 48 lower states.

Wow..!! this is exactly what i need to organise my sauces, oil, pepper, salt and anything else i need for cooking. The tray that I am using are small little trays..and they looked horrid. AT 7.99.. i definitely can afford it. This 3-Tier Mesh Cabinet Organizer maximizes the storage potential of your countertops, cabinets and pantry shelves. Items are tiered so they are easy to see. The organizer features three levels; your countertop or shelf provides a fourth storage tier. Awesome..!! except shipping cost more than the item. So i have to look out for more stuff to buy before shipping it.

Told yer.. i’m crazy about Corelle. If I can.. i would buy different sets every season.. and every year. Everytime i go to the mall.. i’ll pop in to see . .if they have anything new.. or on sale. Sometimes.. if you are looking out.. you can get them at really good prices. Are you like me..?? and love to buy dishes.. bowls.. and whatnots..??

I really .. really liked the Japanese style ones.. but they are so heavy.. so i didn’t get them. They remind me of my little time i had spent in Japan.. the lacquer bowls.. and tea cups.. and condiment bowls. For those who don’t know.. i really love all things japanese.. but japan is really a very expensive place to live or work in.

My in-laws are very practical people and even with them being so practical.. i know that they can appreciate this Peanut Butter Jar. It’s a perfect one.. with 2 lids instead of 1 only. That way you never have to leave any behind nor get your fingers messy just to get the last drop of peanut butter. Very smart ..!!! I don’t know how much it is.. but i’ll try finding it out.. and getting one for myself and my in-laws.

Apartment Therapy Kitchen Bag

I normally do not buy bags that are expensive .. especially my grocery bag because I can get them at 0.99 cents from Pete’s Frootique and they area awesome looking. But aside from being an eco friendly shopper who loves toting re-usable bags, I’ll have to say that this $15 will be well spent because I loved Apartment Therapy and includes shipping and handling. And the bag was designed by a reader and a fan. So if you are into Apartment Therapy like I am.. show some support.. coz’ only limited quantities left.

Actually saw this on another blogger’s blog today.. and can’t helped but thought to myself.. this is a wonderful pot to have and owned. This is a winner of the 2003 Gourmet Cookware Award, Staub Mussel Pots are models of service and preparation. A stainless steel strainer separates the mussels from the sauce, making flavorful juices available for dipping from the first bite to the last. The generous Family Mussel Pot holds up to six pounds of mussels. The smaller two-quart pot comes in a version without a knob, so the lid can be used upside-down to hold empty shells. For someone who loves seafood and mussels this much. .i think i can afford to buy it .. only at $89.00. Donch you just love the blue color..??
