Happy New Year Everyone!

I want to greet a prosperous New Year to everyone here in blogosphere, though I am having issues with the new house I wanted to rent for no Internet connection, I must celebrate it with big smile and I should try hard to be worry free tonight.

I am still hoping to transfer another house with Internet connection but at this time yet, be safe everyone and face the New Year with wide smiles and full of laughter.

After Christmas, Tummy Aches

Just after Christmas, I suddenly suffered from stomachache, and it gets worst last night, my sister had a flu for how many days now and Faith had a slight one the other night, good thing that she recovered immediately.

But geez my stomach hurts so much that I fell asleep right when I hit the bed with my youngest daughter, we supposed to watch the Barney and the educational videos for kids in You Tube but my eyes were droopy already, I even did not able to reply my husband's message in YM because I was a little unwell.

We went out to the neighborhood yesterday after I took a nap, my stomach doesn't hurt that bad so I thought it was alright for me then to walk around since I was anxious to look for a house, I thought we could save more if I will live separately from my sister's and we don't have to rent a hotel when my husband will arrives next year. Sad to say, we were not able to find one, I saw empty houses but they didn't have ads if it’s for rent.

Those Series Of Numbers

Having a refrigerator that will provide cool freshwater is a nice convenience. Most water supplies are safe, but filtering out impurities that may be in some water supplies is a must.

Whirlpool refrigerators using filter 4396508 is one way to protect your family from water impurities. In the US, even though water supply is generally safe, filtering is still recommended. Living in the Philippines, I am used to drinking bottled water, but if I had the ability to filter my own I could surely save money.

My Beautiful Kids

One thing I am thankful about this year was my beautiful healthy kids, yes there are times that they were sick, especially when the classes started last June, I was really panicked when Mj was always send to the school clinic because her fever has gotten back. The last time she was there, I sent her immediately to her pediatrician and left her school bag to the driver of the carpool. The school was suspended for ten days because of the swine flu, and almost the kids of the school had a flu, not serious though but the school must prevent the illness for spreading around.

Recently, Faith got a high fever and I was so worried, my husband advised me already to take her to the hospital but I was still holding the thought that she will be alright after three days. Thank God she is alright and her fever went down one morning, we were so happy that she got her happy smile again.

I love my kids, for me they are the most beautiful gifts I ever received in my life, although sometimes they are stubborn but hey, they are such a sweet kids and most of all they love us so much.

Potty Training

When Mj was Faith's age, she easily learn how to pooh in the bowl, my youngest daughter is different even how I tried to teach her to used the toilet bowl, she was not that successful. Sometimes she would tell me that she wanted to pooh but she’s already done with it, and it was late for me to put her in the bowl.

But there was one time though that she successfully pooh in the toilet bowl and she was so proud of what she has done, she even said "very good ma? Very good?" How I wish she will do it once again.

Really, I am having a hard time with her, I am not yet done with her training and I have to teach her how to pee so she will not be using a diaper anymore. Is there anyone here who could help me to train my baby the proper way to do it?

My Moment

I supposed to get my cervix shots today but when I called the clinic this morning, the operator informed me that my Doctor's clinic is closed until Monday. So I have to postponed that one on Monday yet I still went out alone though, my husband suggested to bring the kids with me but I told him that I want to have this moment alone.

I don't have any place to go to in mind, though I thought it would be nice to spend the afternoon talking with my friends, so I brought my wedding gown to my friend who will get married this January, she would rent the gown so I must send it ahead of time.

Right after I went to Analyn's house, I headed to Clarinda's house to check her condition then to get my kids gift from her as well. We thought to watch a movie but her niece cried when she learned we would go out, so we did not pursue it.

It was mom's moment today so no kids around me, lol

Mommy Moments: Christmas Moment

It's Christmas time and the kids were so excited to open their gifts, Faith and Mj did not sleep until I allowed them to open it. It is so nice to see the kids smiles while they are ripping off the Christmas wrappers.

Hurraaay We Completed The 9 Morning

After how many years of not completing the 9 morning, I am back of being an active once again, I surely miss this thing. Although there were temptations not to wake up as early as 3:30 a.m., but I guess we were guided by the Holy Spirit that even we were so tired that night before, we could still get up.

I am so happy that we made the 9 morning; it is such a fulfilling one. I thought to take a picture of the manger at church but geez, my tummy seems in trouble and that I have to get home real fast after the mass.

Seriously Watching TV

We could live Faith alone anymore in the living room, she won't get fussy as long as sponge bob is on the TV or any cartoon although her number one favorite is the sponge bob. She could stay for hours watching her favorite program in the TV, and sister Merlyn will just checked on her while she is busy harvesting some crops in the Facebook.

In Choosing The Right Medication

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is not only a to be a child or adolescent problem, adults are also affected by this disorder.

Finding the right treatment for an adult with ADHD is not always easy. One of the medications being used is CONCERTA Adult ADHD Medication. With any medication it important to know what it is used for, how it works and what potential side effects it may have. Your physician is the right person to help you in choosing the right medication.

Hush, Rush

Whew! I am so occupied since tomorrow until 23rd, I cannot stay long in the computer for so long as I used to before because I and Mj would be out as early as possible tomorrow for her make up and hairstyle appointment, I can't wait to see the result of her princess look. Sister Merlyn and Faith together with Mariel will follow us soon perhaps in Jollibee near the auditorium where their play will be held.

On 23rd is her early appointment at Kumon and after that I and sister Irenie agreed to grocery shop for noche buena, I hope I would be vacant at 24th and don't have to go out and rush things at all.

So guys as I don't have time again to blog hop, I hope you understand, I promise to make it up to you when I am totally preoccupied. Goodnight to all of you!

Final Practice Tomorrow

My eldest daughter is not enjoying yet the vacation time because she still have a practice for their play on Tuesday. It is sad to say that I don't allow her to come with us in the morning mass and told her to have a good rest and enough sleep even though she love to attend with us, well except today, I woke her up when we were preparing for us to go to church, I asked her not to sleep in the church and as she promised she did not fall asleep.

One final practice by tomorrow and were done, I am so excited to see her in the stage dancing like a princess together with other kids at school. I bought two tickets so sister Merlyn together with Faith could attend and Mariel as well.

Scenery

Right after we went to church one early morning to do the task of completing the 9 morning, I and sister Irenie agreed to jog around the village, while doing I was stunned with the scene in front of my sleepy eyes. It is the wonderful and the studded beauty of the Mt. Apo so how could I resist myself not to take a picture of it. Here are the pictures:

Looks near? Nah that's far

And your's truly

Mommy Moments: Your Favorite Entry

If only I am in Manila right now, I probably would attend the gathering on December 26 at Northpark Glorietta 5. I am sure it would be a lot of fun to all the mother's who joined this meme.

Anyway, when I learned that the theme today is our favorite entry, it took me a while to figure out what's entry is my most favorite. I have to dug all my previous entry and gladly I found one, it was the Mommy Moments : Daddy, it was when Daddy visit us here and the kids had a nice funny time with him. How I wish we could spend more time with him in a far away place and will never say goodbye anymore.

Sometimes it is really very hard to be miles apart from him that sometimes the situation is so tiring at all, if only I have wings to fly freely in the air or have fence to swim in a deeper ocean, just to go there, I might have done it already. I better go and sleep now I still have to wake up tomorrow for the Misa de Gallo, goodnight everyone!

A Tough Job

Being the outsourced customer service is a tough job, sometimes you could received if not nice, a very irate one but if you just know how to answer them appropriately, you could sway the situation around and you could get the things right.

Customers, when they call for complaint, obviously they are not satisfied of what the company has been offering them, so they are looking for, someone relevant to answer their queries and as a customer service agent, they are expecting you to know all even their questions are not in your area anymore, most often that not if they would suspect you are just fooling them around, they would freak out.

On the other hand, when a caller, cannot get your point and wanted you to do something that is beyond your control anymore, then, you must listen to them at first and if they're done then that's the time, you lay your solutions to them, try to convince them the solutions your way and not theirs. I know switching their emotions could be hard but once you could give them the right manner, you would see how grateful they are for that.

I Received It

It was a pleasant evening because I received a gift from Johnson and Johnson and you know what it was? It was their studded that smells good lotions, it was delivered through LBC.

I learned that the Johnson's Body Care is sending lotions through Mommy Ruby's blog so I signed up immediately, though I have some doubts if they would really send me those stuffs for free, I thought there's nothing wrong to sign up, as long as they would not ask any credit cards or paypal account later.

Anyway, I will post the pictures here later but as of the moment here is the link for Johnson's Body Care.

Stylish Car Accessories

Life is so much better and lighter when you get your own car, you can go to any place that you like whenever you want to. So if ever you are looking for a car this Holiday season, why not look for Pontiac cars and make it stand out from the other cars in the road. Pontiac accessories had a lot of things for you to choose, styles and dependability. If you are worried about the quality of its accessories, well you should not be, because they had been on service for so many years now, so it is proven and tested.

I bet if you've got the stylish and classic accessories in your car, your friends would be mesmerized with it, and I am sure they would be crazy of having the same car, well as soon as they got enough funds for it. Who would not be enchanted with it, while you got the best accessories from dash kits, tail lights, exhaust system, cargo liners so on and so forth? If I've got enough budgets for it, I guess I am one of those people who are lining up just to buy the accessories of my car.

Not Yet Done With Shopping

On Monday, I already bought some gifts for the kids, I bought Mj a toy palace, for Faith it was a toy computer, for my nephew Yanyan it was a toy robot with remote control, for my nephew Dodong it's a toy car with remote control, for Moreen it was a pants and a shirt which her Mom brought it home that night when I arrived since she doesn't have any new clothes for their Christmas Party, for my niece Mariel it was a branded Penshoppe T shirt.

I thought I am done with the Christmas shopping but I am not, tomorrow I have to go to the mall to buy a new blouse and a new pants for me to wear it at school's Christmas party, her teacher assigned me to bring a spaghetti for the said event so I have to buy ingredients for that, I might as well buy her teacher a cartoon image pillow as Mj's gift since my daughter is really begging for that.

Sister Irenei told me that the sons of our cousin would celebrate their Christmas Eve with us, good thing that the sales girl who assisted me when I shopped last Monday told me that they would have big discounts on the 18th, so I might going to buy my three nephews a toy.

Geez, I guess I would be very busy these coming days.

A New Header For Her

While browsing this morning, I learned that Mommy Genny of Wonderful Things in Life is sharing a header designs once again. I thought to share it with my friend Gen of Baby you're my Destiny as I was really had a hard time to find a header for her blog.

So I review all about codes in her HTML and tried to put the Christmas header of Mommy Genny, adjust the height of it and voila! the header is already visible and so nice. Thanks Mommy Genny for sharing your lay outs and designs for free!

This was the header I put in her blog before:

And the header I just uploaded:

Chasing Her Balloon

My youngest daughter was so funny when we went to a party on Friday, she keeps chasing the balloon that her aunt gave her, she was so sweat and all that but she doesn't care at all. So silly baby!

I Will Be Having My Last Shot

I would call my OB Gyne first though by tomorrow because I forgot if she scheduled me on 14th or after my period, I don't want to waste my time going there on 14th just to find it later it is not my schedule yet, nevertheless I don't want to skip my schedule so I better be sure, I hope I won't forget to call them tomorrow knowing that I would be very busy then.

This is my last shot, I've done already the first and the second last shot for cervical cancer four months ago and I am so excited to have the last one, finally I could have it this month. It would be a little expensive but if it's about my health that concerns here, I have to give the best for it.

Rehearsal

As I watched the rehearsal of the whole campus and its branches of my eldest daughter's school, I reminisce my past, those were the days that I was insisting my sister if they would let me join any activities in school, I know they wanted me to participate but we just lack of funds to buy some materials or costume for the said activity or membership fee if I would join in an organization.

That is why, whenever my eldest daughter would want to participate in any activity or would want to join any organization at school, I would support her all the way, as long as we've got funds for that, then she should not be shy to be a part of it, and I would love to do the same with my youngest adorable Faith.

As long as they got talent why not show it, right?

Mommy Moments : Your Mommy Moment

Sometimes a mom of two is a little bit hard, especially in the morning when I have to prepare Mj for school and Faith asked me to bathe her or just simply carried her in my arms. There are times that I was ignoring her to finish my thing with Mj, like preparing her food, her lunch pack, her milk and vitamins and Faith would say "Ma, I want to pooh" or Ma I want this and that".

Nevertheless, being a Mom had a huge job that no one would be able to compensate the hardship but joyful service they are giving to their love one's. I used to be a working Mom before and I was not able to have all the time for Mj, I am so blessed that Terry supported us all the way and I don't have to work big time, now I could spend more time with my kids and be able to learn new things with them, especially my little love bug Faith.

This was during my birthday this year
When we went out for swimming

Just For The Record

Faith is now doing better, although she is still coughing sometimes and I ended her medication for anti-biotic because the seven days had been complete already so I guess there is no need for her to continue with that. So since she is still coughing I have her continue the medicine for cough and that is the Salbutamol Guaifenisin Broncaire Expectorant, I guess I have to let her finish that one.

Her anti-biotic is Erythromycin Ilosone DS, so in case she would have the same illness again, I have the name here to look up to so I won't go dig the files of the receipt, I just need to browse the name of the medicine here.

Goodnight folks and may you have a nice Thursday tomorrow.

It Is Good To Have A Book

I learned this from my husband that if you are paying bills or wanted to go to a bank and you are sure that you have to wait for hours, you should carry a book with you so you won't feel bored. Now whenever a book interests me, I make sure that I have it in my bag so if there's a long queue in the office that I went to, I will be entertained with simply reading it.

Just like today, the Breaking Dawn was with me all the way from home when I ride in a Jeepney down to Pag Ibig to pay my contributions. I never felt any boredom at all but I hope those people who seated beside me won't think that I was crazy because I kept on laughing or smiling while I was reading the book, good thing that it was not the most irritated scene or else I have thrown the book in the floor, or snapped it in the table, near me just because I got carried away by it.

I am aiming one week for me to finish it and I would buy the pocket book I just saw in the bookstore, it was one of my favorite author Danielle Steele so I am sure I would love it, sigh Sidney Sheldon died already he might have shared more interesting stories, life and love through his writings.

Melason

I am just so kilig of these two housemates, just tonight Jason was able to do what he want, Big Brother let him to go to other house with one condition, he can go to other house if he would climb over the bakod, he was surprised at first but he laughed with the idea so he asked his fellow housemates to join him with the ninja suit.

Now he was able to talk with his more than a best friend Melissa, he told her about his feelings to her although he still hope that they remain as close when they will go out in the house, he also ask Melissa why did she not smile or look at him during task? And what are her feelings to him and so on and so forth, Melissa was not able to say anything, she was speechless a bit and smiled and laughs with Jason's set up. Obviously she like him so much, wahhh I was so kilig that I kept on pinching my niece arms, or boink her with the pillow, hahaha!!!

I hope these two would pursue whatever they felt right with each other because they definitely looked funny together. I just can't help to smile with the thought.

Christmas Tag

I just got a first Christmas tag from a sweet Mommy in the universe, Mommy Willa of Smart Mommy. It is so nice of you to include me in your Christmas tag girl, I am so flattered. And because of you, I am inspired also to send my greetings to my fellow bloggers.

You must remember that "Until one feels the spirit of Christmas, there is no Christmas. All else is outward display-so much tinsel and decorations. For it isn't the holly, it isn't the snow. It isn't the tree not the firelight's glow. It's the warmth that comes to the hearts of men when the Christmas spirit returns again." from christmas thought and qoutations
