Have you had Zacapa premium rum? Zacama Rum has a deliciously unique taste like no other. The story behind it is unique as well. This heavenly rum is famous for ageing above the clouds. In the Highlands of Quetzaltenango lies The House Above the Clouds which is one of the highest ageing facilities in the world, 2300m above sea level. The Zacapa Rum slowly develops its complex flavour and character over time at this mountain.

Unlike other rum which uses molasses, Zacapa uses only the concentrated first press of sugar cane, known as virgin sugar cane honey. The virgin sugar cane honey gives Zacapa its unique and award-winning taste! Zacapa rum is truly the world's best tasting rum! Ohhh...wish I have premium dark rum right at this very moment! Our cocktail party is also just a few months away and I will definitely suggest our event coordinator to serve Zacapa in the party. By the way, I am inviting you to join the Zacapa Society. By becoming a member, you will learn exclusive details about this exceptional brand, receive latest news, including exclusive competitions, elite tasting experiences and an opportunity to enjoy remarkable gifts and prizes. To join Zacapa society, please register here. I already joined and hope you join Zacapa too!

What is your dream for your child? I'm sure most parents out there have a dream for their child even if they are still a baby. My baby is just a year old and even if I don't know yet what her interests are when she grows older, I just wish that she will excel in school just like her mommy and daddy and graduate in college. As of her career, I wish she will be a doctor, or a computer scientist or any profession related to Science or Math. But whatever profession she will choose to pursue and contribute to the society, I will support her fully.  By the way, Upromise invites you to share your child's dream in celebration of its 10th year anniversary. They are giving away a total of $20,000 to users who share a story that tells how a parent has supported a child's dream. I just did submit my entry.

"Ber" months are coming!  About two weeks from now it will be September and months will fly by so fast. Soon it will be December! Ahhh...I'm so excited because Christmas is near, and it's my favorite holiday of the year! As early as now I am thinking of what gifts to buy for my family. Hopefully, this year I can get real good and a bit expensive gifts for them, especially for my child. Aside from that I am also wanting to buy a gift for myself this Christmas since I don't buy that much for myself anymore. For a parent like me I have to be smart in making decisions. I think I can achieve my goal this time of buying pretty good gifts for my family by switching to Straight Talk.  I love the idea of saving a ton of money and feeling richer by cutting my cell phone bill in half! If you also love that idea then you must try Straight Talk!  Take it from me because mom knows best! You have to be crazy to be on a contract these days when you can get everything you need without one. Just imagine the amount of money you could save! It's half of your bill! With the extra money I can save, I can buy great gifts for my family as well as for myself this Christmas! Wooohooo! Aside from that I can get almost anything that my child needs!

We've been busy these last couple of months and almost forgot that we haven't had our grand vacation yet for this year. It's been about two years now since we've been to Branson, Missouri. Branson is one of the great family friendly destinations we want to revisit. Although we've gone through about eight attractions in Branson, we still want to come back and visit more attractions and of course we will definitely visit Silver Dollar City again! Our three-day stay experience 2 years ago in Branson was worth it but it feels like we still missed a lot of attractions because there are really lots of them! So if you are looking for a family destination, I highly recommend Branson! With Branson, you can never go wrong with lots of places to see!

Have you experienced losing your phone? My mom lost her phones twice in the bus while commuting and it was really very frustrating! Not only did she lose her phone but most of all it was quite hard to get all the contact numbers and information back. Anyway, good news for Sprint subscribers especially for those who have lost their phone or had the experience of having their phone stolen. Now, there is a new phone app for you! It's called Sprint Total Equipment Protection App. It is available for Android, Blackberry and selected feature phones.
