App of the Week - Grading Game

Team MJ’s App of the Week is The Grading Game, designed to help users improve their editing skills through time-based exercises that get progressively more difficult at each level. A product by mode of expression, LLC, a limited version of The Grading Game is available for free, or you can choose to unlock the full game for US$0.99.

App of the Week - Grading Game

The player takes on the role of a graduate assistant heavily in debt and tasked with grading the papers of the students of Dr. Snerpus, a particularly grouchy professor. Each memo from Dr. Snerpus introducing each student essay comes with a grammar lesson and strict instructions to find enough spelling and grammar mistakes so that the students fail the course. Failure to do so comes with very grave consequences, including not getting paid.

Here’s to a Healthy New Year

Salad

Team MJ’s resolution is to eat healthier and to eat more salads. But you don’t have to go to Sonya’s Garden, as we did here, to get your greens. Keep lettuce leaves on stock and toss in carrots, basil, mint, pineapples, or whatever takes your fancy, then drizzle with a light vinaigrette, and keep your weight and your cholesterol down.

Healthier options for the new year.

Your holiday guide to gifting jewelry

10 December 2012   Tania N. Arpa   No comments
Karat World Biggest Christmas Blowout.feat

As gifts, jewelry is very personal. Not just because they can be very expensive, but because they are worn close to the body and therefore a constant reminder of the giver. Jewelry make terrific holiday gifts! Giving jewelry signifies that the receiver is someone special, that there are fond memories between you and the person you’re giving it to or that you are making a commitment to your relationship. Which is why one must take extra effort and care when choosing jewelry to be given as gifts.

  1. It’s important to know whether the one receiving the gift actually wears jewelry. Some people do, and some don’t. If your friend or loved one can afford to buy jewelry but doesn’t wear any, then perhaps not wearing jewelry is a matter of preference to them. Consider giving them something functional, like a dress watch they can wear for glitzy occasions. Another option is a brooch, which is worn pinned to a shirt or dress — someone uncomfortable with wearing jewelry on their wrists or earlobes might be happy to have something beautiful on their outfit instead.
  2. Figure out what kind of jewelry your friend likes to wear. Some people are partial to rings, and some only wear necklaces. Give them what they are likely to wear. If your friend doesn’t like heavy earrings, perhaps diamond stud earrings would be a better gift choice. If they have a favorite piece of jewelry, you could give them a matching piece they can wear with that favorite item. It shows you pay attention.

Shop smart for the holidays

Human Nature gift packs

I have a confession to make: I’m not a Divisoria fan.

This is blasphemy for a Thrifty Mom to say. Everyone loves Divi! The deals! The crazy buys! The savings! I know. For three Christmas seasons I did my gift shopping there. We would go last week of November/ first week of December. It was brutal. You need to have the art of split-second decision-making down, because there’s no time to browse. (Once we were with a notoriously slow-shopper friend who wanted to go back for a skirt she’d seen that morning, which meant we had to go against the flow of the crowd and find that tiny stall amidst the crazy. It almost came to fisticuffs.) The crowds are insane and you are shunted along whether you want to or not. It’s filthy and dangerous too: my crossbody bag got slashed once, the umbrella I placed inside protecting my wallet from being stolen. Then there’s the exhaustion of hauling tons of stuff home in those plastic-coated banig bags. I don’t miss walking to the highway to hail a Pasay bus laden with two of these behemoths.

I get it though. Craziness is part of Divi’s charm and for other people, the whole Amazing Race-ness is what makes it so attractive. Not me. These days I’m all about online shopping. No dealing with crowds, infinite time to browse, hell, I don’t even have to get up from a chair.

So if you’re planning to shop online for your gift list, here are some websites to hit up:

Papillo Fine Stationers: Some Things are Better Left Written

papillo

Writing letters by hand may be considered a lost art for some, especially in this digital age when almost everyone does their writing on computers, tablets and mobile phones. For stationer Trish Panlilio, however, there’s nothing more delightful than a beautifully and carefully handwritten note.

“I sincerely believe people appreciate a handwritten letter, no matter how long or short,” shares Trish, Owner of Papillo Fine Stationers. “It’s the time you set aside to do it that makes it more meaningful.”
