A Mother of Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

Mommy Moments - @ the zoo

2012-02-10T19:41:00.000-08:00

Here’s our first zoo visit for this year. It was 2 years ago since the last time we came here. We choose to not to renew our Zoo membership last year because we got the SeaWorld annual pass. For this year, we have to Zoo, Disneyland and California Adventure annual pass. This is going to be another exciting year for the entire family. Our children are excited as well. We’ve already booked our Disneyland and California Adventure tour for next weekend and we are so looking forward to it. Anyway, our zoo visit wasn’t that fun because we got there 2 hours before the zoo closes, so, we pretty much didn’t really enjoyed it. Well, it’s OK because we will go back there as soon as my son gets his holidays and breaks from school.

Looking forward to another trade show exibitis

2012-02-05T20:05:00.000-08:00

One of the things I truly enjoy is going to trade show exhibits. Why because it's where the best of different worlds come together in one place. Some events feature different cuisines, showcase the latest products in the market, a book launching, new releases and so forth. I love taking pictures whatever that is. People watching are also cool because you get to see individuals just enjoying at the same time learning. Not to mention, the organizers are really doing their best to throw a nice event for everyone.

The props they use like trade show flooring, trade show carpet, mats and logo canopy are trendy and very eye-catching. I personally like those velvet ropes they have; I think it's a nice spot for picture taking. Getting the feel of being a celebrity… LOL! On a second note, it's good to know that all the stuff that's needed for a successful trade shows displays are available for grabs online. So, whoever has a plan of conducting one, they just need to find the great deal just for them.

The Stock Market

2012-01-27T20:47:00.000-08:00

Thanks for the guest post by Jo Levy

I am a bit obsessive about watching the stock market. I have a pretty diverse portfolio and like to play it pretty safe. I like getting expert analysis of how current events will affect the markets I am invested in. I have made modest returns on my investments but as of late felt that it was time to get a little bit more risky. After all you know what they say, “The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward”. Yesterday while watching Direct TV Business, I got a great tip on a hot new emerging stock. After doing a bit of independent research, I came to the conclusions that this would be a good investment. I put a sizeable amount of my savings into this stock and was not disappointed. At first this stock stayed relatively quiet but then a month ago, just as predicted, this stock exploded! I now have enough money to send my kids to college and pay of my mortgage. Also, driving around in a 2012 Corvette is pretty nice too!

Out in service

2012-01-25T17:41:00.000-08:00

My children loves going out in service. Few of the reasons why they love to go out in service is that they can see all kinds of little creepy-crawly creatures to play with and they get the chance to get out of our home. My daughter usually ignores the stroller and she’d rather want to walk on her shoes. Sometimes it takes forever for us to get to our destination because my daughter gets distracted with all kinds of things. She loves walking on the curves and hop at the end of it just like in the photo above.

Early @ work

2012-01-25T16:06:00.000-08:00

My husband had to go to work early today because they will have a safety meeting. He said that he overheard one of his co-workers saying that the company will be using the audio conferencing services this year. My husband is working for a huge company. They have branches all over the America as well as Internal. He thought that maybe its best for the company to have this kind of service that way supervisors don’t have to travel afar just to bring the important message to the management and employees, which will help them save monetarily and time. My husband’s work is actually expanding and each year they have new public busses coming in. I hope that their paychecks will also increase not just the work itself.

In the mail

2012-01-20T19:44:00.000-08:00

One of our store creditors sent me a new catalog of their newest products. They gave me a valentines day jewelry discounts. I am thinking whether I will take the offers or not. I’m not sure yet. Well, my husband just bought me a nice wrist watch and it was a little expensive and I am definitely happy with his new purchased. I think I will have to pass on this jewelry thing and put it on hold for now because I will be making a big purchase on something in a few weeks. But mind you friends, those jewelries were really cute and I would love to have it and add it to my jewelry collections.

Horseradish leaves

2012-01-20T18:59:00.000-08:00

This kind of vegetable is very much popular in my hometown Philippines. We serve this kind of vegetable almost everyday in our meal, back then. As I got here in the United States of America I rarely see a fresh leaves in the Filipino stores here in our place. Whenever they have supplies of horseradish leaves in their vegetable counter, it'll be so expensive. I go for the cheap ones and that is the processed-frozen horseradish leaves, it taste as good as the fresh ones. And so, I rarely prepare this kind ingredient for our family’s meals and my Caucasian husband loves it. I didn’t know that there are some Filipinos in our neighborhood are planting this kind of vegetable until I seen it. We were doing our field service early morning and I happened to see this horseradish tree. I was excited and I took pictures of it.

Curious about e-cigarettes

2012-01-18T18:44:00.000-08:00

I've been hearing the word e-cigarette for the longest time but haven't really dug deeper about it. Curious as I am, want to know what it's all about since more and more smokers are making their switch to e-cigarettes. We all know that traditional smoking is dangerous. It contains deadly chemicals that are very harmful to the health. No matter how serious they are to quit, they still struggle for smoking is the kind of addiction that is hard to break free. Then e-cigarette came. Accordingly, it is a good alternative because it only contains nicotine, compare to tobacco that has so many.

Another thing, they are also much cheaper because empty cartridges are refillable. It is also available in different flavors like cherry, java, vanilla, peach, and the classic tobacco. Blu is one particular brand. Accordingly, it has no tar, no tobacco, no ash, and no smell. Well, no one in the family smokes. It is against our beliefs and not to mention, it is bad to thehealth. However, for people that are addicted to tobacco cigarettes for years and struggling to quit they finally have a healthy alternative to their deadly addiction. But I wonder if it is healthy, then why would some in the government still tries to ban it? That's another story to find out.

Let your bathroom speak

2012-01-18T08:26:00.000-08:00

Without a doubt, our home, our decors, and accessories speak much about us. It doesn't mean though only mansions and villas can have a nice impression. Whether we live in a big house or a simple one, what matters is how we take care of it, keeping it clean, organized, and smelling sweet. The bathroom for instance is one spot that needs extra care. Cleanliness is the most important factor, but bathroom faucet, bathroom light fixtures and others can add character. It should make us feel comfortable and relax, after all our “me-time-moments” are often spent in the bathroom. An actress in the Philippines ones confessed to be spending 3 hours inside her bath! I can't imagine how nice and pretty her bathroom looks like. Though we may think, acquiring a nice bathroom is beyond our means but the good news is, nowadays bathroom fixtures and accessories is no longer considered as luxury items. There are online shops that have a huge collection of vanities and fixtures; they even have big discounts on them. I was browsing for bathroom lightning and saw an Asian style light wall with almost 50% off the original price. It's so pretty, perfect for the look I have in mind. I mean, we could have a bathroom makeover someday, who knows?

Full of suspicion

2012-01-17T21:43:00.000-08:00

I can’t take it anymore! I don’t know what is going on with one of my sources from paid-to-blog system. I was so happy when I got bunch of assignments and was so excited to get a huge paycheck from them but I guess everything will be in vain. I don't know if they will pay or not, until then hopefully all my efforts are not wasted. It was about a year ago since I got paid and worked with them and I don’t know what to expect from them now because its almost a month now that they don’t send payments to not just me but to some of my friends as well. They normally pay 7 days after the submission of the assignments. I checked their forum and blog and they’re not even up-to-date and moderated. The forum was spammed. I tried to voice out my concerns and I got tons of response, unfortunately, they were all spam. I emailed the support system and yes they respond, which made me calm down knowing that everything is fine. However, as I tried to email them for the second time, I received an identical email from their first replies. Now I wonder if those replies are for real or it could be an automated email. OMGoodness!

This is what they had to say and I quote,

Hi,
Recently a portion of bloggers have been removing older posts and we needed to hold the most recent payment to all bloggers we try to counter this fraudulent activity. The bloggers who is checked the posts are being paid.

Haven’t use it yet

2012-01-17T16:22:00.000-08:00

I received a custom gift card from 24 hours Fitness gym a few weeks months and still I hasn’t decided whether to use it or not. It’s for a 7 days free Zumba class and I keep putting it on hold. I’m not quite sure whether if it’s still active or not. I need to check the expiration date before I decide to hand it to one of my friends. Believe me, I really want to take advantage of it but I just don’t have time to do it. I know my excuses weren’t that valid but I just can’t do it. I’ll ask some of my friends if they’re interested and give it to whoever wants to take it. At least someone can benefit from it instead of letting it go wasted.

Very informative

2012-01-17T14:49:00.000-08:00

When my son was a little younger, I was told by his Pediatrician that he has some kind of a seasonal allergy which causes his cough to last a few months. We don’t know what specifically he is allergic to but we were so worried for him. When his cough attacks, it’ll usually last for 3 months. He hardly gets a good night sleep from coughing (dry cough) all night to the point where he pukes. As I was browsing for some information about allergies, I happened to stumble at these article allergies in austin tx. They give informative information regarding allergies such as food allergy and Airborn allergy. They also explain what possible causes of these allergies are. I’m glad I learn something today!

Children’s Portrait

2012-01-16T20:45:00.000-08:00

My children had their portrait appointment this morning and I know they hate taking pictures, but I made sure I have something with me to bribe them so they’ll cooperate. Let’s put it this way, my tricks worked. They have really nice photos and I can’t wait to have them in a few weeks. I ordered a package-deal and I have a lot of copies, though I paid a few bucks but it's worth it. I will be giving some photos to my family and friends for their keepsake. I also have a huge portrait of them that will be mounted on the wall. I have to get more frames. I also have a copyrighted CD for those pictures; I can print more copies if I want to. My children grow up so quickly and as much as I can, I want to have portraits of them while they’re still young. I never have a lot of pictures of me when I was young. I will be posting some of their portraits as soon as I have them.

Wellness drinks

2012-01-15T13:59:00.000-08:00

As we grow older we may go through some kind of pains that are unavoidable. I’m only in my 30’s and I’m already experiencing all kinds of aches and body sores. I know I need to do regular exercise and choose a healthy lifestyle (right food) to get the circulation going and for it to function right. I know I need to do a lot of changes to achieve the right healthy balance for myself and for my family. There is one thing that hinders everything in my life right now and it bothers me a lot. I tried not to take any pain killer because I don’t want my body depends on it. I should probably try wellness drinks. Well, I’ve heard about Nopalea and it has become popular these days, as far as I know this kind of wellness drink is good for inflammatory issues whether if it’s from joints or muscles, it’ll serve as pain reliever. The ingredients are all natural; it actually came from the fruit of the Nopal cactus. Anyway, they are offering a free bottle of Nopalea and I want to try it. If you want to try a FREE bottle, call this number 1-800-203-7063 and all you need to do is pay $9.95 for the shipping and handling. Maybe this will help ease the painful heels I have. I am suffering from it every single day, sometimes it's bearable but other times are not.

Girly frames for eyewear

2012-01-15T13:40:00.000-08:00

My favorite frame

I reminded my husband last night about making an appointment for our eye exam. I might have to do it myself on Monday because he keeps on forgetting about it. We have to go to our insurance provider to us to be able to pick whose Ophthalmologist we will be going to. I don’t want to go back to our previous Ophthalmologist because I don’t like the service that they gave us. Hopefully this time we will find a better clinic that gives satisfactory service. I can’t wait to have my contact lenses and I will order my prescription eyeglasses at Zenni because they have the most economical eyewear with numerous stylish frames. I think I will get the same frames I had a few years ago (photo above). I love the style and it’s durable. I got a lot of compliments from that frame. They actually have Valentine’s Day glasses and the frames (photo below) were so cute and chic. It’s like each year they always come up with unique frames that are so fashionable. They definitely have the style that every consumer wants.

Note: If you love pink frames you should stop by and shop at Zenni Optical store because they have all kinds of girly frames that are so inexpensive.

My babies

2012-01-11T16:24:00.000-08:00

They are growing so fast and whenever I think of the first day I held them, it’s hard to believe that they all came from my own belly. They’re flesh of my flesh and blood of my own blood. I love them so much and I want them to grow up to become a productive, compassionate, smart when it comes to decision making and God fearing individuals. I want them to learn from their mistakes and become mature that way they will learn how to handle their obstacles in life. We love them so much and we are proud parents of two.

Check this out!

2012-01-11T15:05:00.000-08:00

I’ve got to share this madness deals that I recently found while surfing for an amazing hand bags deals. I cannot believe myself when I saw this nomorerack.com website because the prices of their products are unbelievable. Well, my children are napping right now and I am taking advantage of it because I know I can concentrate on my search for madness online deals. As I was going through the nomorerack website, I found out that I can get some designer items, jewelries and even electronics items for FREE. Yes! You heard and read it right. All I have to do is to go to their “Friendrack page” and choose the item that I would like to have and invite friends corresponding to the number of friends required. For instance, I want to have the Sony 7” WVGA LCD Digital Photo Frame, I have to invite 75 friends to get it for FREE. I think this is cool and exciting.Anyway, the above photo is my receipt of my purchased. A handbag, it’s 60% off and the retail price was $50 but I got it for $20 only and I saved $30 (yaaahhhoooo). What I love about this website is that, they only charge $2 for the shipping fee and that’s for every items you order. That’s cool because it’s really cheap; I don’t think any other online stores out there offer this kind of shipping fee. I can’t wait to receive it, I love the bling/glittering charms and I think it’s perfect for my everyday use. This website is proven to be merchandising all kinds of products that are insanely cheap. Just for your information, their products are authentic and genuine. I will definitely check on this website for their every day deals, who knows I might find something interesting that are way cheaper than all other stores whether in-store or online.

I will definitely recommend my readers, followers, visitors, friends and family to check this website out. Well, my husband alone is an electronics fanatic and I’m pretty sure that he will love this website a lot.

He said greetings for us

2012-01-10T19:27:00.000-08:00

I received a phone call from the manager of our apartment hours before 2012. He said “Happy new year”. I thank and told him that we don’t celebrate such occasion because that’s what I believed-in based on what I’ve learned from the bible. He knows that we don’t celebrate Christmas. He then jokingly told me that he wished we have the same faith and we laughed. He told me that they spent a lot of money this holiday and that I am lucky because I don’t spend money for gifts. According to him, he bought all kinds of electronics and gadgets for his teenage daughter. He gave her ipod, ipod nano case (similar to the photo above) , new phone and etc… I told him that we give gifts to our loved one whenever we want to. It doesn’t have to be during occasion or whatever because it’s more meaningful when you give gifts to someone unexpectedly.

Disneyland annual pass

2012-01-10T18:22:00.000-08:00

Our first Disneyland tour (March 2011)

My husband thought of getting an annual pass for Disneyland. At first I was hesitant because it’s a little bit far from our place. It’s taking at least almost 2 hrs of driving to get there. After we checked how much it would cost us, we finally both decided to go ahead and take it. It’ll cost us less than a thousand dollars for the four of us and that includes both Disneyland Park and California Adventure. It’s cheaper than going there randomly. Normally it’ll cost $80 per person for a day only and if we get the annual pass, we can go back anytime we want. We will surely make the best out of it. Hopefully everything goes well including our health. We are looking forward to our exciting 2012 journey. Keep smiling and be optimistic as always!

Finferprints resistant lens

2012-01-09T14:16:00.000-08:00

I am so glad to hear that finally the Zenni Optical store is now launching their newest coating lens which is the oleophobic lenses . I just want to quote the definition of Oleophobic lenses for the sake of those people who doesn’t know what it means, “lenses effectively repel water, oil, dust and fingerprints, while still reducing annoying reflections. Lenses stay clearer, and are easier to clean than ever before. As an AR coating, it significantly reduces reflections while driving or from overhead light reflections, and makes your glasses less noticeable and less reflective in photographs”. This is really neat. I need a fingerprints resistant lens. My toddler sometimes gets a hold of my eyeglasses and she’ll usually leave some prints on my lenses. I can only clean it nicely with prints free using my microfiber clothes and that’s if I have it with me all the time. I will make sure to order this kind of lens at Zenni whenever it’s time for me to order for my new prescription eyeglasses. I need to make an appointment for my eye exam soon that way I can upgrade my eyeglasses. I am considering of getting contact lenses as an alternatives for my eyeglasses. I get tired of wearing eyeglasses after awhile. My husband needs new eyeglasses too.

In the Mail

2012-01-07T15:15:00.000-08:00

My husband’s Union at work sent him a year contract of free Term Life Insurance and when it expires it’ll be up to us whether we will continue or not. I told my husband that for now, we will keep the contract and hopefully by then we will have our final decision as to keep it or not. It comes with Family Insurance plan and it seems like they have the Best Rates Life Insurance policies compared to the rest of the life insurance companies we have inquired on. We had been planning about insuring our family with life insurance that way our family won’t have to worry about finances or something like that.

We inquired for Cheap Life Insurance locally and we’ve talked to an agent as well. They gave us an overview of the policies that meets our budget. They also gave us free Insurance Quotes for us to kind of like have an idea of how much we will be paying for our monthly bills. However, under the circumstances that we were in at the time, unfortunately, we weren’t able to finalize our decision. But practically speaking, time is getting tougher and we realize that we should get life insurance as soon as we can.

Mommy Moments - Trolley ride & Marine Museums

2012-01-06T20:48:00.000-08:00

-----

We took our children to a trolley ride this afternoon and we went downtown San Diego. We visited some of the marine museums and it was fun. I’ve been here in America for over 6 years now and I didn’t visit this museum until today. It was cool because we were able to see the old submarines and pirate ships docked in the San Diego Bay a few days ago. We were told that the submarine that was built in 1970’s will be sunk this year; it was such an honor for us to see the sub before they sunk it. I never thought in my life that I will have the chance to see a sub in person. I’ve only seen this on TV’s and movies. We have to go back there sometime in February, by then I will have my DSLR and I will be able to take great pictures of subs and pirate ships. We will also take a boat-cruise, which is so exciting.

Need a new Rx eyeglasses

2012-01-06T19:44:00.000-08:00

I am complaining to my husband about my vision, my right eye is fuzzier than my left eye. It only means that my visions aren’t getting any better. I have to upgrade my eyeglasses again sometime this week. I have to go to my ophthalmologist and discuss to him about my plan. I want to know whether or not my insurance covers the Lasik eye procedure because I want to have lasik surgery done. I am tired of wearing eyeglasses and if I can’t, I don’t have any other choice but to keep wearing eyeglasses. Well, I want to have another option which is the contact lenses, as an alternation for my eyeglasses. First of all, thanks to Zenni Optical for providing affordable eyeglasses. I love them because they have variety of stylish frames. I have been their customers for years now and I am satisfied with my purchased. I am a mother of two and one of my children (toddler) loves to sneak up to play with my eyeglasses and at least it won’t be as heartbreaking as it is if she accidentally ruins my eyeglasses for they’re inexpensive. I can’t wait to go to my eye doctor to get my new eye prescription.

Stay at Home Mom

2011-12-28T11:09:00.000-08:00

Guest written by our friend Katie Callahan

Being a stay at home mom is fine most of the time – going on www.HOMESECURITYSYSTEM.COM to look at alarms, putting the kids down for naps, talking to the teachers about class, etc. But the worst part of every day is when my husband gets home from work and he wants to pick a fight about something…anything! He has a really demanding job which I understand is stressful but he takes it all out on me and I’m just sick and tired of it. I feel like he resents the fact that I stay at home and though we talked about this as what we wanted to do when we got married he seems to think that I’m being lazy and just napping and eating bon bons all day long. Anyway, I know I need to lighten up but I just wish he’d find a way to be in a better mood. Being around him sometimes is like punishment and I know that’s not the way a marriage should feel, you know?

Kid's Style #1 - Pretty flad doll dress & accessories

2011-12-25T21:48:00.000-08:00

----

Meet my little fashionista 4less (I love shopping for an inexpensive stuff). The reason why I say 4less is because her outfit and accessories cost no more than $12. Great deal huh? By the way, this will be my fist entry for the Kids Style Sunday’s for Little Fashionistas meme. I have 2 children (boy and girl) and I love to dress them nicely, especially my little girl. In fairness, my daughter loves it too. She loves playing dress-up, the only time she complains is when I’m asking her to give me a pose several times. I guess she gets tired of me taking too many pictures of her. LOL! Well, I just can’t get enough of her because she is just so adorable. Hope you enjoyed viewing my first entry and welcome to my blog… Thanks for stopping by.

Go away pain!

2011-12-21T21:56:00.000-08:00

I am suffering from tissue inflammation right on my heels and I feel bad for myself because I couldn’t walk without limping. I’m taking all kinds of pain medicine just to alleviate from pain. I should buy some Nopalea drinks, it’s a wellness products and I can get it at Trivita website. It’s an online distributor for wellness products. I happened to read an article about Nopalea drinks and accordingly, it’s good for reducing inflammatory muscles and it’s also good for people who have joint problem. I think I should give it a try and see how this product works for me. I am tired of this pain and I can’t even walk without having to worry about pain afterwards. They are actually offering this product for free when I call the 1-800-203-7063 number; I just have to pay for the shipping fee which is $9.95. What’s good about this product is that, it also serves as an antioxidant drinks which are good. Well, anything that is good for the body and will reduce my inflammatory pain, I’m all for it. I want to try this product for sure.

Will I still trust FedEx service?

2011-12-21T21:39:00.000-08:00

OMG! I am speechless after I seeing this video. My views about mailman or any delivery man changed negatively after I saw this guy tossed the computer monitor when in fact he could’ve rang the doorbell to hand deliver the item. How hard it to just put the monitor down nicely so there won’t be any damage done? This guy is messed up. He ruined his career from his poor actions. He is definitely unreliable and irresponsible worker. It’s not that he didn’t know what’s in the box because it’s very clear, the box has a picture of a computer monitor and obviously he knows about it. I bet this delivery guy is fired after millions of viewers have watched the video, this clip went viral. Shame on him because he not only ruined his career but he also ruined the company’s credibility.

Nice and warm bootie

2011-12-21T15:27:00.000-08:00

When it comes to winter gears and clothing, sierra designs products are the choice of many. I love their women’s jacket and booties. The bootie looks nice and warm for snowing. Whenever we go snow adventure, I use my ugg boots and I get soaked and wet as I stepped on the snow of a very along time. Well, ugg boots aren’t made for snow adventure, so, what can I say? LOL! Sierra pull-on down bootie (photo above) is really perfect for our future snow adventure. We’re actually invited to go either Big Bear or Mt. Julian for a snow adventure and I would love to have this bootie.

In the mail

2011-12-21T12:23:00.000-08:00

I received a bunch of mail this morning from many different advertisers and marketing agencies, including home insurance from various local home insurance providers. Unfortunately, we don’t own a home yet, so, we can’t take advantage of the great offers they may have for home owners. Speaking of home insurance, I thought about the natural disaster that had happened recently in the Philippines. Majority of home owners in the Philippines doesn’t have any home insurance that will protect their home when disaster comes and I feel sorry for them because it’ll take time for them to be able to rebuild their homes to start a new life. I can see now how important home insurance are after seeing the disaster befall them. Unlike UK and America, most of the home owners made sure to avail the home insurance to keep them protected from loosing their home. One thing that I want to make sure whenever we have our own home, it’ll be protected by some kind of a home insurance.

Son’s 1st report card

2011-12-20T19:58:00.001-08:00

My kindergarten student is really doing well in school. He made us proud as always. We just received his first report card and accordingly his academic performance levels were either PROFICIENT or ADVANCED and his additional subject areas along with study habits and social growth were all EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS. It’s not really surprising to know because even before he went to school we already know that he will achieve this kind of performance. But of course, with the evidence of his performance, it made us even more proud of him for doing such an excellent job. However, his independence requires effort and improvement. His teacher said that he has trouble zipping and buttoning his pants and jacket by himself. Again, it’s not surprising to me because I know it for sure. We are working on it; otherwise everything is great with him. We are proud parents indeed.

I probably landed in UK if not here in the USA

2011-12-20T17:05:00.000-08:00

Before my husband and I met, I have a friend in UK who offered me a job. I already have my papers and I submitted it to her. I was waiting for the replies when I met my husband online who was my friend at the time. My friend works as a nurse in UK and she has her own house. She said that ones I’m there, she’ll let me stay in her house until I’m able to get on my feet. It was nice of her to do that and I was so fortunate enough to be able to have that opportunity to go abroad. During her visit in our hometown, she shared many experiences from her own and all kinds of things including home insurance, she said that she had to insure her home for many reason, stuff like that. Yes, that’s how close we were, she wasn’t so hesitant to share everything about her life in abroad. Unfortunately, my husband petitioned me to come to the United States and I had to let my friend know that the application I sent to her will be discarded for that reason.

With my girlfriend

2011-12-20T16:40:00.000-08:00

Last night my friend, her son, I and my children went to McDonald for dinner. We were talking while our children were playing in an indoor playground at McDonald. She was telling me that her boyfriend thought about us (her family and my family) spending a night at either Mt. Julian or Big Bear for snow adventure. I was excited because I’ve never been to Big Bear yet and one thing that I would love to do over there is skiing. I heard so much about Big Bear and I can’t wait to visit the place. It’ll be fun for us to go together because the more the merrier. I just don’t know when this plan is going to happen but I believe we will be able to make it early of next year. Hopefully, things will go on with our plan and hopefully my husband will be able to request for time off at work. We’ll see!

2 more days in school

2011-12-14T21:23:00.000-08:00

Whew! The 2011 is almost over; I can’t believe this is happening so quickly. Well, it’ll be a happy day for my son because he gets to spend 3 weeks vacation from school. We are happy too because it only means, I don’t have to wake up so early and we can sleep-in and of course, he can sleep late at night if he wants to. Isn’t it exciting? I bet majority of the students are celebrating because they don’t have to go to school for 3 long weeks. Well, since its holiday break, obviously there will be celebration coming up for the many families out there. Anyway, that’s all for tonight I have to park and rest. I need to clean up because my home right now looks like it had been stricken by a hurricane. Toys and books are all over the place. Got to go now, bye and thanks for stopping by.

My own photographs

2011-12-14T19:22:00.000-08:00

I consider myself as an amateur photographer. I never went to any photography class or whatsoever but I believe I have skills to take really nice photos. For the most part, I love nature photography and I do have plenty of flower collections stored in my computer’s photo file. I actually customized my own 2012 calendar using my photograph collections. The photos above were some of the random flowers I photographed; it was taken at the garden of the San Francisco Bay early this year during our short vacation. I think they’re gorgeous and I received a lot of compliments from my photos every time I share them on my social networking site.

My husband knows that I love photography and I love flowers, he also knows that I love surprises. On our anniversary, he’d surprise me with beautiful flowers and as it’s always been, it brightens up my day even more. Whenever I ask him where he bought those gorgeous flowers, he’ll say he bought it at so and so, he took advantage of the flowers online free delivery offers to save some money. Well, it’s really not about the price tags, but it’s all about the gesture. It’s the thought that counts, you know what I mean? I am just thankful of my husband.

Son's eyeglasses

2011-12-13T18:12:00.000-08:00

My son, like me, needs to wear eyeglasses as well. At first I was not so happy about it but looking at the bright side, it's necessary for his visual correction. They said that vision problem can sometimes be inheritance, I guess my son inherited it from me. It was confusing walking in an optical store, searching for that one right pair. Kids are impatient and we are not even sure if they're willing to wear it! Another thing to consider is the price, it's expensive especially those prescription kinds. Learning about Zenni Optical however makes it possible to have those very same high quality yet cheap eyeglasses. Even if you wear bifocal, single vision or progressive lenses, they've got it. Also available are those fashionable and trendy ones, all in inexpensive price. They also have eyeglasses for children. Its quality is as good as the ones we can grab at local optical shops. How to make sure we can get the right kind? Through a simple and easy process wherein you just need your prescription type and PD available and choose which type of frame you like. I must say Zenni Optical is a good try especially if your kids are first-timers in using lenses. Zenni Optical eyeglasses might be just the one for them.

Playtime at chuck-e-cheeses

2011-12-13T00:15:00.000-08:00

My children were trying to decide and figure out who’s going to throw the first ball. I guess they came up with a unanimous decision and that’s none other than playing together in two different lanes. LOL! That’s how I interpreted these photos. What do you think? My children love to play and we had to take them into an indoor recreational place at the time because it was a downpour. They enjoyed it which was the main purpose and it was great bonding as family.

Soaring energy bills

2011-12-12T17:53:00.000-08:00

Usually, in the months of December and January our energy bills are soaring high because we used warmer a lot of times. It’s unavoidable because its winter and it gets really cold, I would rather use more energy than freezing to death. We don’t have a fireplace where woods are used to warm up the rooms like someone else do. My husband and I thought about the low cost energy program that the county had offered to all residence and hopefully we qualify for it. It would be nice to get our electric bills down. It will help us a lot if we get our bills lower than normal. Well, we want our energy bills to go down not only for the winter time but also for the rest of the months.

New place, new friends and new life

2011-12-08T16:09:00.000-08:00

My former college friend is now living a new life in Australia. I don’t know how she got there, whether it’s through employment, petition or sponsorship it doesn’t really matter for as long as she’s happy, I’m happy for her as well. As far as I know, she goes to school in Australia and I think she’s taking a medical course. I would love to visit Australia someday. I heard so many good things about Australia and I’ve seen so many good places in Australia through the discovery channel. During the last episode of the Oprah show, they featured some of the tourist’s destinations in Australia and it was so beautiful. If I’m not here in America, I would probably choose Australia to be my second home. I’ll take my entire family with me in Australia. By the way, Dennis Family Homes builders melbourne Corporation would surely be a great place to go when buying a home for the family.

My lil fashionista

2011-12-08T15:33:00.000-08:00

I love playing dress up with my daughter. Sometimes she gets frustrated of me because I ask her to give me a pose several times until I’m satisfied with the photo. But believe me, she loves dresses, she dances with it and pretends like a princess. Well, basically she’s our princess, so, she doesn’t have to pretend because she really is a princess. I love buying dresses and nice outfits for her. Every time I go to the store I always have something for my children. Well, not so much for my boy except toys but for my daughter, I always buy her some stuff from clothes to footwear.

My iPhone4

2011-12-08T15:06:00.000-08:00

I wish I had an Apple Store coupon code when I purchased my iPhone4 a couple of months ago, that way I can save some money. My husband and I had been planning to upgrade our phone into iPhones but I didn’t think I’ll get it sooner that I thought. I am so happy with this phone and I’m satisfied. I love it because I can open my websites through this phone with no problem at all. I used to have an Android and I traded it with iPhone. Next time I purchase any gadgets or electronics, I will make sure to get some coupons at geekalerts.com because they have all kinds of coupons from all kinds of electronics. If you out there wants to save money from purchasing iPads, iPhone, Printer, MacBook or whatsoever, I would recommend you to check for some coupons at geekalerts.com. I bet you will find great deals and save a lot of money on your next purchase.

My fake flowers

2011-12-08T12:42:00.000-08:00

I have this little flower base with mini Glass Gems in it on my computer table and my daughter tries to take it away from me. She wants to play with the glass gems and put them in her mouth. My daughter is in the stage where she gets into a lot of things and put everything she has in her mouth. She’s in her terrible two’s and is so curious with everything. Usually, I place my flower base on top of our refrigerator so she won’t get a hold of it. Anyway, I love glass gems because they are decorative items. I have pebbles around my candles and I also have it in my bathroom counter. I have a little star fish decorative container in my bathroom and I put glass gems in it. It looks nice but I have to hide it away from my daughter because she took it one time and she showed me her mouth full of pebbles, which is unsafe. When we have toddlers in our home, any small decorative items would have to be out of reach until they’re over that stage.

Baby shower coming up

2011-12-08T12:29:00.000-08:00

I was invited to a baby shower this Saturday. She’s expecting her second baby and obviously it’s a girl. I don’t think I can attend the baby shower though because I’m not sure whether or not our van would be fixed by the time. If I can, it doesn’t matter because I can give my gift on Sunday at the meeting. I bought nice outfits, toy and soft blanket for the baby. I can’t wait to see the baby wearing them. I believe her due date would be January. Anyway, hurray to their newest bundle of joy.

We found the right auto insurance for us

2011-12-08T12:22:00.000-08:00

I think the auto insurance that we have right now is probably the best and Cheap Car Insurance so far we’ve had for the last 6 years since my husband and I are married. We only have one vehicle and we both drive. I just got my driver’s license this year and it took as awhile to find the cheapest auto insurance that will cover us both. With our car insurance plan right now, we picked the lowest deductible and it comes with car rental and international coverage. The quote that we got for these choices is way better than the previous car insurance we’ve had. How did we know this auto insurance? We actually got a phone call from one of their representative and she explained to us what benefits we can possibly get. We asked her to give us the quote and from there we will decide. As soon as we got the quote, we finalize our decision to dump our old auto insurance and take the new one which we have right now.

It was nice to see her

2011-12-08T10:46:00.000-08:00

We had a great lunch with my sister-in-law a few days ago. We took her to a buffet near by her work and we did some talking about our lives. My sister-in-law is by the way working in a company that does patents from all kinds of electronics stuff. They do sell the patents they have created and she pretty much enjoyed her job. I think, if there is a person I should ask about flexible PCB that would probably my sister-in-law. She might know any thing about the flexible printer circuits, what it does and how it’s use for. The reason why I want to know about this is because a friend of mine asks me if my husband knows about it. Unfortunately, he doesn’t because when I asked him earlier today he said he hasn’t heart about it either. I bet my sister-in-law knows this or his boss who is an engineer. I should ask her later.

Snuggies for my children

2011-12-07T21:35:00.000-08:00

It’s getting cold and winter is just around the corner, I figured, getting snuggies for my children would be a perfect idea. I felt guilty because they sleep in their bedroom with a cold temperature because I don’t feel safe turning the heater on. I would rather bundle them up with nice and warm clothes and blankets than turning the heater on. My daughter got burned from the heater already and stayed at the burn center for a week and I don’t want that to happen again. So anyway, I went to my favorite store and bought those snuggies I had been eyeing at for weeks already before I actually bought it. They love it and it kept them nice and warm especially when their watching TV and playing electronic games.

My precious children

2011-12-07T21:00:00.000-08:00

We recently had our spiritual gatherings in Escondido, CA and it was indeed refreshing. The messages that were delivered were so timely and I needed to hear those because it nourishes my soul. Anyway, my children are growing like weeds and most of their clothes were already outgrown. I had to go to the children's clothing store to purchase some outfits for the gatherings and the photo below was one of the nice dresses I bought for my daughter and dress suit for my son. They look so adorable. My husband and I treasure the moments we have with our children. Many of our friends have told us to spend more quality time to our children because they grow up so fast and we agree.

Every time we look at our children, we are amazed at how much they have grown since the day they were born. It feels like it was just yesterday when I first held them in my arms and look at them now, they’re trying to become and independent person which eventually they will. Before we knew it, we won’t be buying children clothes anymore because they’ll be teens, young adults and eventually have their own lives. Oh boy, I pray that they will become the person we taught them to become.

Is my son becoming a geek?

2011-12-07T20:51:00.000-08:00

Geeks are people who don’t go for the ordinary and conventional stuff. They would rather have those out-of-the world stuff rather than those commonly used by others. Often they have a collection of items they're really fascinated about like cartoon characters, gadgets, toys, electronics and computers, or anything vintage and so forth. For them, it's like their passion that they'd do anything to complete their collections. Imagine giving gifts to geeks, they'd be all smiling if you'll able to hand them something they really like. The coolest and hottest stuff for the geeks is hard to find, sometimes we can't even find it at stores. Not to mention, it's quite expensive too. However if you happen to drop by at GeekAlerts, you'll find their huge selection of great deals on electronics, clothing, scientific gadgets, unique computer accessories, office toys, books and other awesome items. They also have Think Geek coupons, Dell coupon, ThinkGeek promo codeand other promotions so you can save more and shop for more. If you're a geek or someone who wants to learn about the latest innovation, it's the place to visit for you. Sometimes, it's nice to stand out in the crowd and be known as someone different. Geeks are individuals not afraid to be so! I can see my son is becoming a geek too. He is fascinated with toy vehicles that have remotes and he has quite collections of it.

Mother and daughter

2011-12-03T19:52:00.000-08:00

This was the day when I had my haircut done. I love my new haircut. After my haircut we stopped by at the turo2x Filipino restaurant to get some food for dinner. I took a picture of me and my daughter while we were getting in-line for food. As you can see in the photo above, my daughter was crying and unhappy that’s because she got her finger stuck between the doors when she tried to close it. Aaawww! Poor baby…

They’re getting married soon

2011-12-03T13:41:00.000-08:00

I know a couple who are getting married pretty soon. As soon as all the papers and petition is approved, it won’t be long she’ll walk in the isle with him and say their vows together. So exciting, they are anxiously awaiting for that day to come and I wish them lots of happiness and grow old together. How exciting it would be if they will celebrate their honeymoon to an all inclusive honeymoon resorts in Caribbean. Many newly-wed couple chooses to spend private time and romantic moments with their partner in Caribbean. I think that’s the best romantic place to start creating memories together. Thinking about it giggles me to death. LOL!

They thought of getting another car

2011-12-02T21:13:00.000-08:00

Our friend couple is planning to purchase another car for his wife. They owned a Chevrolet truck and for their additional vehicle, they thought about getting the 2011 Hyundai Genesis . I don’t know anything about cars but I’m telling you, I know how to appreciate vehicles and I can tell whether the car looks nice or not. The Hyundai Genesis is a really sporty looking car, very attractive and hot. I would love to have that kind of car someday. Hopefully, when I get a job I can afford it.

So, our couple friend showed us the inside part of the car through online and in fairness, everything is nice especially the dashboard. My husband said that this is really a nice car. My husband is a mechanic and if there’s one person that I should listen to when it comes to a vehicle, that’s none other than my better-half. One of his co-workers has this kind of car and he said that he really likes the sound system. Well, we hope that our couple friend will be able to purchase this car so we can hop in it.

Getting a car is one thing and getting auto insurance is another thing. I can't wait to get a job so I can get my own car and don't have to worry about the cost of insurance because there will be an additional income for our household. We have a van and we want another car if possible.

Shopaholic LOL!

2011-12-02T20:55:00.000-08:00

If I love shopping, so is my daughter. I bought my daughter her own shopping cart so she can load anything she likes whenever we go shopping. Of course the items that she puts in her cart were items that we have agreed upon. Just look at her face in the first photo, she looked so happy and she was having fun strolling her cart inside the department store. Many people were amused by her and were telling me that she is so adorable. She pretends like she was really a responsible shopper. LOL! By the way, this pictures were taken days before we went to our Disneyland trip.

Benefits of a Netbook

2011-12-02T20:33:00.000-08:00

With advances in computer technology, mobile computers have gotten to be so small, lightweight and powerful they have earned themselves a new name in the computer world. Now they are called netbooks. You see them in all the popular electronic stores and some of the famous general stores well. Me and my husband were going to purchase one when we bought our smart phone but decided not to. Net books are more affordable than laptops and are good for basic web surfing, sending and receiving, e-mail and most word processing jobs. You can't use the net books to play today's graphic rich games though. For that job, your better off buying a laptop. For those who are students or mobile professionals on the go, the net book is the perfect computing device that is compact, lightweight and can be easily carried in your backpack. The down side is that if your expecting your applications to run rather quickly, then your better off buying a laptop because netbooks are designed for low cost so they don't operate at the speeds a laptop operates at.

Are YOU a mom-to-be?

2011-11-28T18:48:00.000-08:00

I wasn’t aware of the umbilical cord blood banking at all, until a registered nurse visited me the day after I had given birth to my daughter. She gave be brief information about it along with some flyers. I read it and thought about donating my daughter’s umbilical cord but I thought it was already late. I heard so much about the importance of the umbilical cord and if donating such would make a difference, I would’ve told my OB-Gyne to save the umbilical cord for future research right after my daughter is born. Just imagine, through the use of the stem cell taken from the umbilical cord, it can possibly treat diseases such as cancers, blood disorders, immune disorders and as well as metabolic disorders. According to the statistical records about storing stem cells, there were already 350,000 cord blood that had been collected from different individuals and families in the world.

Everyone can take part of it today. If they did it, so can YOU. Anyway, if you are an expectant parent and for those mom-to-be out there who are unaware of the importance of umbilical cord blood, I would recommend you to read the article found at this website http://parentsguidecordblood.org/ because they provide helpful information about it.

A day at SeaWorld

2011-11-26T20:10:00.000-08:00

@ the skytower

@ the Pet's Rule show
@ the SnowWorld

You may probably get tired of me talking about SeaWorld a lot, but hey, it’s fun in there. That’s our major destination for recreation and entertainment whenever we get bored. We went there again the other day. It was fun because the SnowWorld is on. It’s a man-made snow and kids had a lot of fun playing and sledding on the snow. This season of the year is special because they have more entertainment and events going on. We’ve witnessed most of it. SeaWorld is like our second home. We’ve been there multiple times this year but we always love it like the first time. We love marine life and most especially, we love family bonding time.

Multiple tasking

2011-11-26T18:41:00.000-08:00

Juggling with my two demanding children and at the same time running errands are probably the hardest job I have ever had. I am a full time mom and I thought about helping my husband to bring additional income in our household. I’ve had some offers before about online marketing and I am interested. Thus, little skills and knowledge on that field is something that I worry about. I want to learn how this things work. Another thing that puzzles me, is, I don’t know anything about accounting. We all know that accounting is part of the business and if ever I will decide to start my own business, how will I take care of the accounting stuff?

As I did more researched about the accounting information, I came across with this website called “Accounting Department Online” at www.accountsdo.com. I found out that nothing is impossible now-a-days. Everything is just a click away. If I will pursue on my business career online, I don’t have to worry about “accounting stuff” because the website I mentioned above, will assist and do it on my behalf. I find it so fascinating that there are companies like them. Through their outsourced virtual account department, higher solution of accounting functions is delivered rightly to businessman’s report. Less headaches for the business owner, that’s for sure. If anybody out there needs an accounting solution, Accounting Department Online will be the right Company to call.

Only smart buyers take advantage of the great deals, coupons and promo codes. Well, with the kind of economy that we are in? I don’t think people wouldn’t want to save some money when making a purchase. Would you? Times are tough and I will do everything to save every buck I can. Of course, coupons to the rescue!

Sweet gestures

2011-11-23T14:43:00.000-08:00

I was so busy doing my online work when my son walked up to me and said “mommy, I missed you, I want some hugs”. I gave him tight hugs and kisses. He decided to stay with me while I’m working on my tasks, he started giving me a head massage. Oh boy! I love it and it’s so timely because I really need that massage so bad. Of course, the little girl saw my son and she wanted to do exactly what her big brother was doing. So, she grabbed my comb and started to comb my hair. It was one of the sweetest things that my children had ever given me. Precious moments indeed!

Shopping time

2011-11-21T18:35:00.000-08:00

I went shopping at my favorite store the other day; I bought some sweaters for my children and winter jacket for myself. The store has new stocks of clothing and there were all kinds of nice winter outfits. I wish I could buy them all, nah, just kidding. While I was looking at the jackets and coats, I seen a lady next to me shopping for those cheap medical scrubs displayed in the corner. She bought a lot of scrubs. I think the store was liquidating those items and the lady was taking advantage of it because they were inexpensive.

Well, if I have a job and works in a medical facility that requires scrubs for uniform, I would definitely buy a lot of scrubs while it’s on sale. I love to shop for clearance sale and anything that will help me save money. The scrubs in the store were similar to the scrubs found at this website http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/. Well, I have to admit that the scrubs found in that website are of quality and we know for a fact that cheap items are not always good. Sometimes we get what we paid for. Do you agree?

Fast transaction

2011-11-20T20:45:00.000-08:00

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier if all the businesses out there, whether small or big had a Credit Card Payment Processing machine available at their store? Well, based on my experience, I find it so hard to believe that some of the local stores don’t have a credit card payment processing device, because I think it’s very inconvenient for the buyer and seller to not have one. I don’t really take cash with me most of the time and I get frustrated when I purchase something from that store only to find out that they only accept cash. Bummer! I usually leave the store empty handed. We have a favorite Chinese restaurant here in our neighborhood and we love their food wherein we can’t miss a week without ordering our favorite dish, the problem is, we had to go to the store next door to purchase something and request for cash back because they only accept cash.

Hopefully, that restaurant will eventually have a credit card or debit card payment processing machine, that way we don’t have to go next door to get some cash. It’s kind of a hassle because sometimes it’s taking too much of our time when we’re in a hurry to get something for lunch and we don’t have cash with us. For instance, when we go out in service in the morning, my husband goes to work at 2pm and we don’t have a lot of time to cook, so, basically we just buy our lunch from that restaurant (food-to-go). You know what I mean?

Children, careful when on elevator.

2011-11-18T22:32:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine posted this photo on her Facebook wall and as soon as I saw it, I cringed and was devastated for the child and her parents. I never really thought that this scene could happen on the elevator. My children loves to ride on the elevator and watching this photo made me even more aware of the things that can possibly happen while on it. I don’t know how the little girl’s toes got stuck in it and good thing the management was able to disable the elevator completely before serious thing had happened. I don’t know if the rubber shoe of the girl has something to do with it or not. Well, for us parents, we have to be very careful when our children are riding on the elevators because this might happen to them. Sad but true!

Simply natural

2011-11-18T12:06:00.000-08:00

Well, I don’t really put make-up on my face except for lipstick and lip-gloss. My face itches whenever I put some foundation or any Make Up in general. Maybe because I’m just not used to applying anything on my face and that’s probably why I itch. However, I would love to learn on how to properly apply make-ups because I have a daughter and eventually I’m going to have to teach her how to apply it. I want to get some Cosmetics Tips from any beauty expert out there. I would love to hear from YOU. I should research for a free Make Up Tutorials online and try to follow along. I want to learn how they mix and match the colors for the right skin tone and what specific colors that will give the natural and neutral eye shadow looks.

Thanksgiving break

2011-11-18T11:49:00.000-08:00

I woke up late this morning and I thought my son will be late for school too. I had to beg him to wake up which he disagree. He whines and starts crying while uttering “I don’t want to go to school”. Well, he often says that almost every morning as I wake him up for school, so, I’m no longer surprised. I never let him miss school even for a day if it’s not necessary; I’m doing this for his own good. Attendance in school is very important and it was stress to us during the orientation. My son actually received “Perfect Attendance” recognition 3 times already and I told him that he won’t get those acknowledgements if he misses his class. Anyway, today is his last day of school before and he’ll be back a week after. It’s thanksgiving break and we have plans for family activities next week. Looking forward to it.

Where is Mr. Right for her?

2011-11-16T22:40:00.000-08:00

My niece is trying to search for her little sister’s future lover online. She signed her up to a free online dating site and fortunately many guys find her so attractive. Well, I’m not surprised if she’ll get an email from many different men from that dating site, showing their interested in my niece because she is truly a beautiful woman. But there is a little problem; she’s not ready to have a serious commitment right now. She said that she still wants to enjoy herself for being single with no strings attached. I can understand why her big sister is so concerned about her for not having a boyfriend yet for she’s already 25 years old. Well, if she not ready now, eventually she will be.

Young Kids, Big Dog

2011-11-12T23:10:00.000-08:00

Written by Sherri Hicks

When my kids were young I got a HomE SecuritY SysteM to help me feel better about being here alone during the day. We got Shelly, a Great Dane, when they were all young too and she’s been a totally integral part of our family. The problem is that our alarm has motion sensors that are pretty high off the ground, but being as big as she is Shelly sets them off just about every night. I love how graceful and HUGE the dog is but it really does mean a lot of hassles. We have to put anything we don’t want her to reach literally at least 10 feet high and even then she’s been known to take things down off the top of the refrigerator which is just crazy to me. The kids ride her around this house like she’s a horse, and knock on wood, we still haven’t had any major health issues with her yet. I hope she’s around to be part of our family for a long, long time to come!

Mickey Mouse laundry room

When we went to the Disneyland a couple of months ago, of course, we didn’t missed visiting the most popular Disney character and that’s none other than Mickey Mouse. We toured inside his house and the above photos were some of the rooms we've checked. His house look as tiny from outside but as soon as we got inside we were directed to many different rooms. It was cool! And before we existed his house we got the chance to take a glance of him personally. We took pictures together with Mickey Mouse. He was adorable. LOL! Anyhow, his house was neat and looks real. It was surreal though that I was able to meet him personally.

Beautifying our bedroom

2011-11-12T16:56:00.000-08:00

It’s been awhile that I’ve planned our bedroom makeover. I have to fulfill it one of these days. We just had our bedroom set and I want to purchase some nice comforter sets (photo above). Our bedroom walls are painted with cream/off white in color and I wanted to match it with nice and brightly colored linens to bring out the positive energy in our bedroom. I just bought some wall portraits and I will put it above our bed’s headboard. I am thinking of putting a black and white portrait of my children instead because it’ll look nicer and besides, seeing our children’s photo will always remind me and my husband that we have such a beautiful creation out of love. I think it’s pretty sweet.

I don’t have recent portrait of my children but I have a coupon for a free 8 x 10 portrait that I can use to make this black and white portrait thing happen. I can’t wait and I am so excited. As soon as I’m done fixing with our bedroom, I will take pictures of it and share it to my loyal readers and followers. Anyway, this is what keeps me busy aside from taking care of my little buddies, when hubby’s at work.

My children are learning a lot. Cognitively!

2011-11-12T16:22:00.000-08:00

My 2 year old daughter and 5 year old son are learning a lot of things academically. My daughter learned her ABC's and numbers from watching the educational TV shows and from her big brother’s too. Most of the time, my son comes home from school with his new found vocabularies and he eagerly shares it to his little sister. Thankfully, my daughter absorbs it easily and she does follow along with her brother. Sometimes, whenever they play, I can hear my children counting their numbers and singing their alphabets together. Other times I hear them sing and whenever I asked my son where did he learn it from, he’ll answer me “in school”. For our family activity, I am so thankful that I have internet skills that I am able to research for some printable educational materials for my children’s worksheets activities. I printed some quick and easy activities - preschool lesson plans as well as kindergarten lesson plans that includes alphabets, colors, shapes, rhymes, matching and the basics mathematics for my children. My son mastered most of it but my daughter who is just starting into this stage is still trying to learn. She can’t write yet but she already knows how to use her pencil. She scribbles a lot, which is part of the learning development stage. I can’t wait for my daughter to start preschool and it’ll be next year 2012 if God permits.

Note: I must say that scholastic.com has a great source for printable educational tools.

A day at the nature center

2011-11-10T17:31:00.000-08:00

It was my husband’s day off when he took us to the nature center. This place is actually near us but we never go there until that day. There weren’t a lot of creatures to see but it’s enough for the children to look at. There are a lot of school children visit the place, it’s like their field trip. My children had fun that day; they were doing their thing and running around. They made good use of their energy.

Son's school Spirit T-shirts

2011-11-08T21:07:00.000-08:00

My son comes home from school with a folder that’s normally filled with school activities they had for that day. Sometimes the teacher enclosed some letters about their up coming events, PTA meetings, holiday reminders and other information that we parents should know. Last week I received a letter, it was an order form to let us know if we would like to order the “school spirit custom t-shirts” that the PTA had came up with for the students who will be interested. Accordingly, the t-shirt will be worn every Friday’s at school. They actually have youth’s sizes as well as adult’s size; it’s probably for some parents who would like to avail one.

Even though it’s not really a mandatory to order the t-shirt, I decided to get one for my son. I filed up the form and had my son gave it to his teacher this morning. We’ll see how it looks like; I hope the quality of the t-shirt is 100% cotton. I was going to get one for my daughter too but I thought it might be a little bigger for her because she’s only 2. I think their youth sizes are free size only; it might be too lose for my toddler. I’ll just wait until she goes to school that way I can get her school t-shirts too.

Mental health challenges

2011-11-06T21:34:00.000-08:00

Mental health can affect anyone. It doesn't choose between old or young, black and white. Even a normal behaving person can develop some kind of mental health issues during their life span resulting in the need to seek professional help from a qualified doctor. Mental health contributes to how we feel and think and act from time to time. No one is immune from mental health. It can be caused by disturbing emotions like sadness, depression and anxiety. Believe it or not, the abuse of drugs is one kind of mental health problem that affects millions of people daily and cost billions of dollars in lost revenue and production in the U.S. Although many people abuse drugs, few are willing to accept the fact that they have a mental health problem.

Another kind of mental health is stress. Stress can have negative effects on the heart and make it have to work harder to pump blood to vital organs. Postpartum depression can also cause women to have mental illness if it’s not cured at an early stage. Gladly there are mental health retreats for women available that can help reduce depression levels to these new mom’s and so they can get back to their own-self once again. Eating disorders are also mental illness that causes a person to experience obsessions or compulsions around their body and food. Many people having this kind of disorder have a problem keeping food down in their stomach or they have this perception that they are too overweight and need to lose weight. Often they use eating disorder behaviors to increase the perception of control over emotions and life experiences.

Their chair desks

2011-11-03T19:02:00.000-07:00

I’ve been thinking about buying some chairs and table for my children so they can have their own little space whenever they feel like doing their homework or paper works. I browsed online for chair desks; I found Disney cars and Dora theme and showed it to my children, without second thoughts they said they love it. So, I went ahead and ordered them online and have it delivered to the local store for pick up. I didn’t pay for the door to door deliver because it’ll be another expense. They offered free shipping for the in-store pick up, so I took it. The store is just nearby us anyway. As soon as I’m notified that the order had arrived and ready for pick up, I hastily drove to the store and as soon as I got home, I installed it myself. I am so happy. I proudly say that I put these chairs together by myself. I think I did pretty good job. At least my children will not outgrow these chair desks quickly because I can actually fit in there.

Get your savings here!

2011-11-02T22:05:00.000-07:00

Well, first of all, we don’t celebrate holidays and second of all I love to purchase things and get a great deal. So anything that will help me save a lot of money I’m all for it. I have two boxes that I will be sending to my family back home in the Philippines. I send them care packages at least once a year and sometimes if I have the budget, I send them two boxes twice a year. Stuffing those boxes with all kinds of goodies can be very expensive that’s why I make sure to purchase goodies on clearance sale. I always have a long lists of items that I need to purchase for my boxes and sometimes my family will give me a lists of the things they ask me to get for them. Good thing there are websites like www.savings.com that is so kind to help many consumers like ME maximize my savings. My husband is thinking of buying a Wii console that comes with a few games already and I will tell him to purchase it through savings.com that way he can save more bucks. Savings.com actually offers coupons and local deals… They have printable coupons for JCPenny, Old Navy, and groceries too. Check it out!

Money cannot buy happiness

2011-11-02T20:21:00.000-07:00

Many people in this world especially those who are in the poverty lines think that if they have all kinds of money, they’ll be happy because they don’t have to worry about financial problems anymore. Well, that's not really true because money cannot bring happiness to any human being in this world. We were created to become spiritually dependent. Just take a look at those prominent and wealthy people in this world. They already have all kinds of money but still they admit that something is missing deep down inside. They questioned about the value and purpose of their life. Some may even travel or do an extraordinary sports or recreation just to fill-in the emptiness inside them but every thing turned out to be unsatisfying and in vain.

I used to just dream to have the latest electronics in the market because I know I cannot afford them, but now that I can pretty much get what I want. I seem to realize that happiness cannot really be found in any material things that the world has to offer. I am glad that I found where I belong and that is to cling onto the Spiritual Wellness because it really purifies my inner soul. I learned how to be content with what I have and I learned how to keep my eye simple. Many people find spirituality as the best source of happiness and I agree.

By the way, I’m a mother of two little children and sometimes it can be stressful taking care of demanding children. The only thing that gives me energy and refreshment is when I go to the Christian meeting and listen to the word of God. I’m like a dead battery that had been recharged spiritually.

Discipline time

2011-10-30T22:02:00.000-07:00

Kids are being disciplined right now. It’s getting late and their not listening that’s why I have to act to keep them quiet. Our apartment’s foundation isn’t that good and little hops or stumping feet are very much noticeable, the floor and walls rattles as my children plays. I’m glad that its parking lot downstairs because if not and somebody lives downstairs for sure we will get a lot of complains. As much as possible I tried to keep my children settle down and tell them to keep their voices down but sometimes they’re too much and have lots of energy. Right now I had them sat on the couch and if anyone of them steps on the floor they’ll get spanking. We’ll see if they will remain on the couch for 30 minutes.

Real Housewives and Moms

2011-10-30T15:24:00.000-07:00

I don’t know if you watch the Real Housewives reality TV shows but I do. I pick the Housewives from Beverly Hills. I recently got hooked into this show and I watched it on TV and on YouTube before I go to bed. These women, all they do is competing with each other and tell people about how rich and famous they were and they can buy anything they want because they have a lot of money. I’m just fascinated watching these women. I wonder if they were using eyelash growth serum to make their eye lashes even more beautiful. Well, making their eyelashes look prettier is just one of the beauty enhancement products they’re using; they must have a lot of facial rituals so to speak for sure before appearing to the television or public. They’re gorgeous and elegant indeed, and they’re too sexy. Majority of these women had plastic surgery done because I can tell just by looking at their faces.

Vision getting worse each year

2011-10-30T14:47:00.000-07:00

I noticed that my vision is getting blurry every year and that I am required to get an upgrade otherwise I won’t have good vision. I have to have good vision because I’m driving with my children most of the time and I don’t want to take any chances of not going to have my prescription eyeglasses corrected or upgraded per year because I don’t want to get in trouble because of the poor decision I will be making. The only time I don’t wear my eyeglasses is when I’m going to sleep. Wearing eyeglasses gets tiring and painful sometimes especially on the nose area of my face. I think I have to get contact lenses and prescription eyeglasses this time that way I have two options. I already have problem with my eyeglasses right now because one of the nose piece came off and the steel part of the eyeglasses is poking my nose. It gets annoying. The frame is not even anymore because my daughter gets a hold of it sometimes and stretched it because she tried to put it on. Even if I hide it before I take naps or going to sleep, for some reason she’ll find it and before I knew it the frame was slightly twisted already. Bummer! I can’t wait to get my new eyeglasses, it'll be soon.

Scribbles on his face

2011-10-29T20:03:00.000-07:00

A relative of mine tagged me this photo. I thought it was cute and I’m sure the parent of this children thought it was cute and funny too, that’s why they took a photo of it and shared it to their friends online, unfortunately it went viral and gazillion of people were able to view it. I feel bad for the child though, if we look it on the other side of the cuteness sort of thing, we might think that the parents didn’t put attention to their children or didn’t keep an eye of on their children. I have to admit that my children do things that makes me upset too. They scribble on the walls, tables and recently on our couch’s cushion. Anyway, their toddlers and they’re just doing what they’re supposed to. I bet we’ve been there and done that too.

Son will inherit all daddy's tools

2011-10-29T18:52:00.000-07:00

My husband is a bus mechanic and he works for the public transportation company here in our place. He has a huge tool box at work with all kinds of pneumatic tools like air gun, air impact wrench, grinder, drill, jack and etc… Each year they get tool allotments from the company but they’re required to purchase tools of their choice. He takes some of his tools at home and shows it to his son. Whenever he has some fixing stuff to do at home, he’ll have his son help him do the fixing and my son gets excited. I guess that’s how he learns to appreciate tools.

My son loves it whenever he hears us saying we’re going to the home depot store. He knows that he’ll be able to see all kinds of handy man thing over there and he looks amazed all the times seeing all kinds of tools. His daddy told him that he can have all his tools when he grows up. He also told us that he wants to be like daddy a mechanic. Well, I told him that he needs to go to school and listen to the teacher to learn so he can take after his dad’s career. He’s only 5 though and it’ll be years before he becomes a mechanic. It’s good at least he knows what he wants when he grows up.

Son is obsessed with vehicles

2011-10-27T21:00:00.000-07:00

When my son was still less than a year old we’ve already seen his interest in cars. He loves cars particularly the wheels. It was amazing to see him so giggled and excited every time we give him cars. We collected all kinds of cars for him even trucks and limo cars. Now that he just turned 5 his cars collection keeps adding up and his interest in it is getting stronger and ambitious. It’s funny because every vehicle he sees on the road he would say “I want to buy that one”, he’ll count and won’t stop saying it until we’re inside the house. It gets annoying sometimes though.

Well, he’s a kid and I think he’s just excited and stunned to see all kinds of big cars, trucks and etc. Sometimes he’ll say it looks like his toys or I have that. My husband and I just laughed at him. Whenever we go to the meetings, he always sees limo parked and he’ll ask who’s car is that and I told him from one of the brother’s in our congregation. I him that the brother works for a limo service similar to the Chicago Limo Service that he had seen on the TV commercial. He’s fascinated with the limo cars because they’re long and has a lot of doors. Boys will be boys so to speak.

Blue Monday - waiting for big brother

2011-10-24T17:34:00.000-07:00

-----

It’s Monday and it’s about time for our Blue Monday meme once again. Here’s my entry, daughter’s outfit is baby blue. This was taken hours ago while we were waiting for my son to get out from school. My daughter was playing with her stroller, pushing it back and forth in the hallway. We commuted today and kids had fun because they were able to get on the city bus again. They love it especially when I asked them to pull down the strings to let the driver know we want to get off the bus. Anyway, hope you enjoyed viewing my entry this week and thanks for stopping by.

One of a kind boots

2011-10-22T17:54:00.000-07:00

I just love this lucchese handcraft cowboy boot. I thought I saw something like this at the Goodwill store a few weeks ago. I go to that store once in awhile to check for some stuff that I may want to buy. Anyway, this kind of boot is definitely my taste. It’s trendy and I love it because of its quality. This will be a perfect addition to my footwear collection. Winter is just around the corner and it’s pretty cool to have this. Looking at the handcraft details for the boots is pretty amazing. It’s not only fashionable but it looks comfy too.

I have heels problem and I was suggested by my podiatrist to wear a heel just like the heel of that boot (photo above), I will just insert an arch shoe support inside to make my heel more comfortable. As far as I’m concern, I won’t allow myself to wear pointy or stilettos kind of heels for now because it doesn’t help my heel problem at all. I can’t wait ‘till my heel problem gets better that way I can pretty much wear any footwear I may want. And I can do thing I’m used to doing like walking on my treadmill.

Mellow Yellow Monday #143

2011-10-17T16:58:00.000-07:00

-----
A day at SeaWorld

It’s Mellow Yellow Monday once again and here are my entries, my babies. My children are always my subject when it comes to photography so bare with me guys and don’t tire out watching my children as they grow up. We were at SeaWorld at that time. We spent a day before the fall break was over. My children love this place because they get pleasures. They ride their favorite rides and watch their favorite shows. The first photo is obviously my daughter, holing a bag full of popcorn. And the second photo is my children together with their best friend. She works at SeaWorld and we took the opportunity to see her while we were at SeaWorld. It was fun.

Safety equipment

2011-10-17T16:10:00.000-07:00

I am a mother of two and it’s very important for me to keep the safety of my family. Recently, we often see cops in our neighborhood and it’s crazy because it only means that there are a lot of bad guys around us. I don’t care walking my children during daytime in our neighborhood but when it gets dark already that’s a different story. I would rather stay inside our house rather than wandering outside because I don’t feel safe at all and I feel so vulnerable from bad elements. Now that I drive and sometimes I have to pick up my husband late at night from work, I get so scared.

I always tell my son to not to open the garage door until we’re all inside the van. I explained to him that there are a lot of bad people outside and if we open the garage door it’ll be easier for them to snatch or hurt us. How I wish I have a stun gun or pepper spray that way I can protect myself and my children from any harmful elements. I thought I saw a Flashlight Stun Gun (photo below) on sale online at showcasestunguns.com, this would be a perfect safety gadget to have. I should get one!

He’s big and tall

2011-10-14T16:45:00.000-07:00

My husband is 6’3” tall and he weighs at about 240 lbs, whenever we go shopping for his clothes; he knows where to go and that’s at the mens big and tall clothing isle. Sometimes it’s not easy to find clothes that fit him and it’s hard to please him too. He’s picky when it comes to wardrobe. Whenever he’ll rant about his clothes getting tighter and that he needs to get new one, I’ll usually tell him that he doesn’t need clothes, he needs to lose weight that way he can still wear those long-sleeves dress shirts in our closet. He has a lot of dress shirts (long and short) and he keeps on buying more.

Whenever he purchases new dress shirt’s I’ll make sure to sort through his closets and put old ones inside the boxes that will be sent to the Philippines. I try not to hoard clothes that have no possibilities to be worn in the future; I would rather send it to my family back home in the Philippines because I know somebody can take advantage of it. If they have problem with the size of the dress shirts, they can always have it trimmed down or alter to their size. Most of my relatives are tailors clothes anyway.

Cousins

2011-10-14T09:52:00.000-07:00

These children are the second generations in our family. When my sister got married my parents longed for grandchildren but my sister wasn’t able to give it to them sooner. They’ve tried for 8 long years to have a baby but to no avail. I promised my parents that I will give them grandchildren after I get married, which happened. 5 months later after my marriage I got pregnant and bore a child, it’s a boy. I went to the Philippines so they can meet their first grandchild. They were so happy then, a month later after our vacation my sister gave us the good news. She said she’s pregnant. From 1 grandchild, it became 2…3…4 and now it’s 5. My parents are proud grandparents of 5. Our family is growing and it’s wonderful to see our second generation. I haven’t seen my niece and nephews though, hopefully I’ll meet them soon.

I owe it to my first job

2011-10-12T22:12:00.000-07:00

A few years later after I graduated from college I was hired to become a data encoder. I worked in a computer shop and I pretty much encode student’s paper works. We use the older kind of printer, it uses toner cartridges and whenever the toner cartridge runs low we had it replaced to our computer technicians. They actually taught me and the rest of the encoders at work on how to properly replace it but I didn’t want to take any chances and ended up ruining it. Whatever knowledge I have about computers and data encoding, I credited it to my first job because that’s how I pretty much learned about computers and encoding stuff particularly the MS Word and MS Excel.

Single and ready to minggle

2011-10-12T20:29:00.000-07:00

She’s my niece, cousin’s daughter (paternal side) and she’s really smart. She graduated with honors since kindergarten to collage. I believe she graduated salutatorian in her college years. Anyways, it didn’t took so long for her to get a job, that’s because of her educational background. No doubt about that. She’s single and I havent heard from her that she’s dating. She’s probably not into relationships yet or commitment. However, she has all kinds of passion when it comes to talents particularly in music. She can sing and definitely plays a guitar. I think she needs to take guitar lessons online that way she can improve her talents even more. I would love to hear her sing and at the same time play the guitar on video someday.

I’m into home remedies

2011-10-12T17:54:00.000-07:00

It works for me somehow. I suffered sinusitis almost 2 weeks and taking the over the counter medicines didn’t really worked. I searched online for some home remedies and I found something that I think helped me a lot. I mixed ¼ teaspoon baking soda with ¼ teaspoon salt in 8 oz. lukewarm water. It serves as my saline solution. I used the dropper to drop some solution in my noses, with the solution in it; I squeezed and rubbed my nose for a few minutes then blow it out. I did it several times until I feel my nose were unplugged.

Today, I did another home remedies solution for my dry, itchy and flaky scalp. I am desperate to get rid of this dry scalp. It bothers me because it’s visible. I tried all kinds of shampoo and I even followed some of the recommended products to fix it but nothing seems to work. I searched online for some home remedies and hopefully it’ll work. I mixed ½ cup of clear honey with ½ cup of apple cider vinegar and I rubbed it on my scalp with a little massage. I let it sit for 30 minutes and thoroughly rinsed my hair after the treatment. My hair feels light and shinny, so far I don’t see any flaky and dry scalp but it’s a little itchy though. I am really hoping that this will solve my problem. Our home stinks from the smell of the vinegar. My son actually threw up because he couldn't stand the odor. My husband said our home smells skunk. LOL!

Thumps up for this country

2011-10-12T14:32:00.000-07:00

What country that comes to mind when you first talk about or hear about successfulness when it comes to making business and selling economical goods? If you asked me, I would have to say “China”. We have a lot of consumptions manufactured by China; we’re talking about from the hardware to apparels. I bet majority of your household stuff and clothing were made from China, so as mine. Actually, I have so many baby stuff (from clothes to their toys) that were made from China. So, many chinese manufacturers in China helped us consumers avail goods because they try to come up with products that are very much affordable.

You and I believed that China is doing well in the business world and I’m pretty sure that you will also agree with me that when it comes to acquiring knowledge and skills in business it would only be proper for us to get the relevant information from one of the best china sourcing service online. Like for instance I have some relatives here in America who is importing products from China and before they were able to get the products they did a lot of research about manufacturers in China that can give them the best and affordable items that are saleable and fashionable in the market. They also made sure that the products they’re selling are profitable. So far their business is doing well up to this time.

Hangout with my girlfriend

2011-10-10T17:32:00.000-07:00

After I picked up my son from school my girlfriend, I and our kids went to the US Navy Exchange store to look around. Technically, it was my first time to go to that store because not everyone are able to go there, especially if we don’t have any identification to show the security guard that we have relatives serving for the country or working for naval jobs or something like that they won’t let us in, period, end of conversation. As far as I know, that store is exclusively for the families of US soldiers. Anyway, it was nice to experience how and what the store can offer us. They surely have great deals with tax exception.

My girlfriend and I went to the jewelry section, we were just looking. My girlfriend told the jewelry associate that she purchased her wedding ring in that store and she wants to know if she can trade it into something new with the same price as wedding ring. The associate said, she can upgrade her wedding ring for as long as she’ll show them the receipts. While they were having conversation, I was also looking at the wedding rings and I found rings that are so similar to celtic wedding rings collection. I love simple but fancy rings just like the celtic knot collection rings. They’re actually elegant.

Face & body painting

2011-10-08T20:13:00.000-07:00

Here’s what my children have this afternoon. We went to the beach and we noticed that there was an event going on. I think they’re doing some fund raising for some kind of an organization. I’ve seen my friends too (sisters-in-faith) catering for some food. They saw me first and we gave hugs. They told me that my children can play in the kid’s party jumps because they’re free as well as face paintings. We head to the face paintings first and it was my children’s first experience too. They love it and they requested the painter to paint their favorites. My son chose train and my daughter pick Elmo.

Caught my attention

2011-10-08T19:41:00.000-07:00

I took my children to the park today and I am excited to upload some photos in my Facebook to share it to my friends and family. If you have a Facebook account, you are probably familiar with how your dashboard looks like and I'm sure you know what I am talking about. I am talking about the photo commercials or advertisement found at the right side of your/my Facebook dashboard. Every time I see photos of HCG Diet or something like that (photo above) it makes me feel so guilty about myself because I’m not watching my weight once again. It’s really hard to lose weight; I guess this is the biggest battle of my life that I have been dealing with for the last 4 years.

Even though I know how this weight issue had started, sometimes I feel like it’s worth it because I have two beautiful children. I also know that many moms’ out there are battling the same weight issues as I do. I know that some of my friends were telling me that I’m not alone for they themselves were trying hard to lose weights too. But every time I see my old photos I feel bad about myself. I wish I have a magic wand so I can just wave it and take away all the unwanted fats.

We visited a sick sister-in-faith

2011-10-03T20:04:00.000-07:00

My girl friend invited me to come with her to visit an elderly sister’s-in-faith who recently had a surgery. She was sick and she’s living alone. We visited her to say hi and we also brought some lunch for her. But before we went there, my girl friend asked me a favor to print the coupon for the chicken that we will buy. I went to the website and good thing we still have printer ink if not I couldn’t print the coupon. She was in a hurry to get here that’s why she wasn’t able to print the coupon from her printer. Since I was online before she came to pick me up, I told her I can print the coupon for her.

It was really nice seeing the sister and she was so happy to see us too. She has two sons and they’re all grown up and have their own life. She told us that one of her son is already married and have 3 children while her other son is still a bachelor. He lives in LA and he’s traveling a lot because of his work. We stayed there for less than an hour because she has to rest. She can barely do her house chores because of her condition. She was thankful of our visit and she said that it was a pleasure of her to lunch with us in her house. It’s encouraging to make someone happy just by our presence.

Park…park and park

2011-10-03T19:38:00.000-07:00

Its fall break and my children always asked me to take them to their favorite park nearby the beach. Even though I don’t feel like taking them anywhere because my feet hurts after so much walking, for their happiness sake, their request is my command. Although I drive them to the park, I still have to walk and use my feet because I have to kind of like play with them. I can’t just drop them off and let them play in the park alone; I have to keep an eye of them too. I followed them wherever they go. Sometimes I have to chase them too. But like I’ve said I have to compromise just to give my children their happiness. I’m sure they’re bored playing indoors and they want recreation outdoors too.

Isn’t this sweater cute?

I recently checked my favorite savings and coupons website and I’ve seen they have some buckle coupons . How fun? I visited the Buckle website and I found some cute fall outfit and sweater. I love that sweater in the photo above and I wonder if I can use the coupons to get that sweater at a lower and very affordable price. Oh my! I’m excited right now. It’s perfect because it started to get a little cooler here in San Diego now. I’m sure in some other parts of America were already experiencing the winter-like weather but for us here in the Southern part of California are still experience the on and off summer weather.

Thanks for sharing

I found my former college friends online. Thanks to the social media, we were able to get a hold of each other, get connected, and get an update to how and what our lives have been up to. One of my college friends comes online ones in awhile; unfortunately we never get the chance to chat with each other. I guess it’s because of the time difference. I’m here in the United States and she’s in the Philippines. Whenever she goes online, she always shares the best new music video from the local to international artists. Most of the music videos from the local artists that she had been sharing were unfamiliar to me. Since I left my country there are a lot of new singers in the Philippines that I don’t know about and most of them, I haven’t heard their songs until it was shared to me online.

Thus, the music’s that stayed in my memories even up to this time was the songs I’ve heard during my high school days. Those were the songs that made a history in my life, whenever I hear the songs being played; I kind of remember my past. I definitely had a wonderful experienced with my high school friends. I missed my old friends, I wish I can bring back time and spend some precious moments with them once again. Good old days so to speak!

Rainbows in their bedroom

My children were overjoyed when they saw rainbow in their closet door. They called our attention to see it. When my husband and I saw it, we were trying to figure out how and where it came from. Upon our discovery, we found out that it came from the shinny accessory of my husband’s bicycle sitting in the patio. Well, it was sunny day of course and the sunlight strike the bike’s accessory and it creates rainbows. It’s really cool. I took pictures of it and make a shadow to make it look good. Kids can be very happy in a very simple way. I don’t think they’ve seen rainbows in skies yet but at least they were able to see rainbow from a reflection and what’s cool about it is it’s an indoor rainbows.

Job hunting still!

I was searching for Chart Assembler Jobs somewhere in Chula Vista but I couldn’t find one, maybe in some other area, I will try to search again and see if I can find some. I heard from a friend that there are job opening for this type of work, she submitted an application a few days ago and is waiting for replies from the company that she applied for. I’m actually looking for any type of healthcare works at this time. I inquired a few medical facilities in our area if they were looking for people for employment and so far I got no luck. I wonder if it’s necessary for me to present some medical certificates or any healthcare related certificates to be able to get an employment in the medical field.

They're curious and interested

Whenever I get the chance updating the status in my Facebook wall, I often times talked about how grateful and blissful I am to have a part time job online and sometimes thank the Advertising Agency that I am working with for their great effort and teamwork in helping their publishers to generate some income while we’re at home. I am very happy to become part of their success. Majority of my social networking friends get curious every time they read my post about my work online and they will leave some comments to my post asking about what I do for living, and they want to know what kind of job I have online or where I am affiliated with. They seem to be interested in what I do for work.

Sometimes, I send them private messages with an explanation of what I do for my part time job online and I asked them if they are interested because I am willing to help them. I’ve already helped some of my closest friends and so far they’ve generated income as well, while they’re at home. I think the key to success in an online job are diligence, patience and attitude. There are people who quit in this kind of job because they don’t have patience and perseverance, and because of their negative attitude they did not succeed. Anyone can actually work online, for as long as you are positive and you believe in what you are doing, as well as be accountable and responsible for your action, most likely you will succeed. You will also have the opportunity to work with many different publishers worldwide.

Done for tonight

2011-09-24T22:15:00.000-07:00

I need my beauty rest now, recharging my energy is a must for tomorrow’s busy day. I’ve done a lot of productivity today and I’m satisfied to end my night with a nice rest and sleep. My fingers were already sore from doing too much work today and right now they’re already hurting as I am typing this article. I sure need a good massage tonight; hopefully my husband will have the willingness attitude to rub my back. If not then it’s OK, I can understand because he must be tired from work. He comes home late at night and by the time he’s home kids and I were already cuddling our pillows and blankets. Anyway, I need to say good night for now and it’s my pleasure to see you in my page. Thanks a lot and have a blessed day to ya’ll.
