Nostalgia # 14 : My Inspiration, My Dad

Geez it took me a while to locate this picture of me and my father, all I know is that I posted it here and that was long time ago. I am about to give up but you know me, I pushed when I know it's hard and I was not disappointed because I found the picture, it's just here in this blog, thanks to my eagerness.

That was I and my Dad during recognition when I was yet a kindergarten, my sisters were pointing where to pose, while they were busy the photographer just click the camera on and the only captured was my Dad and I. They said I looked absolutely my Dad, especially the eyebrows because it is so thick and grew everywhere. My Dad is my inspiration, when he was still alive he would always tells me that whatever may happen I should pursue my education and he would always there for me. From kinder till I was in my third grade, I always received an award from school and my father would be waiting in our doorstep to congratulate me. He was my inspiration but when GOD took him from us, I lost track, I lost my interest in my studies, not to mention that I was separated from my sisters because our uncle took me from them. But I realized, he was just there, my inspiration I just have to put back my interest and things will turn out right. I studied hard although we don't have that much funds I pursue my college degree, and when I was ready to fall down, his voice remains in my thoughts that I can do it whatever it takes.

Even though, I don't have much memories of my parents because they were taken from us when I was a kid yet, I still believe they cared for me so much, that if they are here right now, they surely would tell me they love me.

Moving on, my sister and I talked about getting a space in an exclusive memorial park for my Dad, she told me that she already talked to an agent and we just have to pay it every month so that we could transfer his remains. I hope we can do it at least before the big event that would happen maybe this year.

Hot and Humid During Summer

Summers here are often hot and humid. High humidity in the house causes mold and mildew to form. I am constantly cleaning these out of the bathrooms and other places where moisture may cause problems. One way to decrease the humidity in our home is with a dehumidifier. It works by getting moisture out of the air. I know what mold and mildew smell like. It is not pleasant. A dehumidifier certainly helps. I am glad though that if ever we will be able to pursue of getting there this year, we will be welcoming snow. Although, my husband said I will not be enjoying the weather when it’s snow because we cannot get out of the house, well to live in a place where there is no snow, I guess we would still enjoy the cold weather and would make a snow angel. I and Mj made a promised of ourselves to make one when we get there.

Wednesday Wickedness # 16 : Paul McCartney

Darn, I was so sleepy that when I am about to start to write with this Meme, my eyes are ready to fall out. So I took a nap for an hour or more and now my mind is so fresh but geez I still have to finish this one real fast because I have to fetch my daughter yet at school.

1. “George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.” No one likes paying taxes. But do you think the tax system is fair?

Sometimes I think it is not because some are illegally not paying it and they still live harmoniously here on earth, they are even so rich.

2. “I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader; he was the quickest wit and the smartest.” What did you think of John Lennon?

Uhmm I don't know him personally.

3. “I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.” How do you approach your job whether in the workplace or at home?

I don't work anymore

4. “I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.” Have you found that you have more tolerance for unusual people as you get older?

Maybe I still think myself young hehehe

5. “I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.” How seriously do you take yourself?

Sometimes

6. “I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.” Does your blog writing just flow from your head, or is it a lot of effort?

It flows from my head, but I may need a nap before I can do that

7. “Think globally, act locally.” Do you do anything to help your local community?

Yup

8. “When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!” Have you ever had a period where you felt that you were set financially?

Yes

9. “Lyricists play with words.” Do you think what you write on your blog is clever or just ordinary and why?

Just ordinary, so I could think the topic so easy

10. “Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.” Who in your circle knows how much money your family makes?

None

Soon

Do you know people who have tried and tried to lose weight? Losing weight and keeping it off is hard to do. I know, I have tried to lose weight and have had some success from time to time, but I always put it back on. Well do you know any weight loss success stories? I know a few.

A friend after she had her second baby was able to lose her weight and keep it off to this day. That was six years ago. My story with MJ was very successful, I lost weight quickly, but with Faith, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I have kept the weight on and have struggled to lose it. Well I hope I can make my own success story soon.

In A Hurry Again

Yes, I am in a hurry again, I have to go to Kumon early this morning at least before lunch because Mj's teacher in Math will going to give me an update of her performance. I guess we would talk about her exam result on Saturday, although Mj told me that she only got 2 mistakes. After the meeting I have to be in a hurry to get to Mj's pediatrician to write down her name in the afternoon appointment for her booster. I hope she won't be crying anymore when she sees that needle, she had enough yesterday when her dentist extracted her one tooth, and fill in the other tooth, the tooth that was painful the other day is under observation. Her dentist just gave her anti biotic and we would take it from there after 7 days, whether she needs to have a root canal.

So guys, I'll be visiting you once I am back from my appointment, have a happy Tuesday everyone!

The Legend of the Guardians

I and the kids went to watch The Legend of the Guardians in 3D! Right after church, we headed to the mall to eat our late lunch then we went immediately to the movie. Mj requested it on Saturday and I just said we have to bring Faith with us; my youngest daughter was so delighted to watch the movie in 3D again.

The Legend of the Guardians is a story between two brothers that has been kidnapped when they landed in a strange place. They were attacked by a wolf then they were rescued by two owls, it was later they realized they had been kidnapped. They were brought to the Pure Ones, known from its evil doing, they made them slave except of his brother because he joined the Pure Ones as a soldier, he was brainwashed and he thought that no one believed in him except the evil Pure Ones. Soren managed to escape by the help of one soldier; the soldier taught him to fly and told him to go to the Guardians of Ga'Hoole to save the owls that were captured by the evil Pure Ones. It's on his hand how could he save the owl kingdom and his sister that was kidnapped by their jealous brother Kludd.

Another Tragic Accident

Recently another tragic accident has happened, and most of them were students. Two died on the spot in the front seat. When would these drivers of the jeepney be alarmed that driving so fast could be so dangerous, it takes only seconds and another life was wasted because they doesn't seem to care for their passengers. Look at the picture below, would you not die if you happen to sit in the front seat. Unfortunately 7 of them died in the hospital so sad.

Mommy Moments : Snacks

There are several snacks my kids love to eat, they are both adventurous and wanted to taste any variant of foods.

Kakanin, Faith loves the puto, whenever there's kakanin that would pass by in our house. She would always ask me to buy one for her.

Mj's favorite, the hotcake with syrup in it. When she doesn't have swimming class and Kumon, she would request me to cook for a pancake for her before she arrives from school.

Ice cream, Faith could not resist it, so sometimes I buy them one especially when it is too hot and we need some refreshing.

Siopao I love these.

Nostalgia # 13 : First Time Sailing

My friend had to take an exam in Cebu so I accompanied her that time. We were with a friend also who despised taking an airplane, so we agreed to sail through Super ferry going to Cebu. It was my first time to ride in a boat and it really scared the hell out of me. I always imagined the latest tragedy regarding with a sink passenger vessel at that time, how were the people struggle so hard to get out from the vessel, some survive, some were so unfortunate to be alive. I heard some people just get stuck from their room.

At 6:00 a.m., I could hear the boat gave us the signal that we're almost in the Cebu port. Thank GOD nothing happens and I was able to face my fear that nothing could go wrong as long as you pray. Well, there is no storm at that night when we voyage so I guess it is impossible to get an accident unless if the boat is overloaded right? It was just my imagination that went crazy and that made my knees trembling so hard. My friend noticed my sudden quiet at that night, and when she confirmed I was really scared that time, she laughs so hard when we went out from the vessel.

Wednesday Wickedness # 15 : William Shatner

I got too lazy this morning, all I have in mind is to take a nap after watching TV. Right now I am waiting GLEE to be aired at 9:00 p.m., in ETC channel.

Moon Cake Festival

On Thursday the Chinese community will celebrate Moon Festival, as I was roaming on Saturday in the mall, I saw this moon cake displayed in a corner, the staff said it is a good luck cake that if you ate it under the moon on 23rd, your wish will be granted. It would also bring you good luck if you send this as a gift, since my niece Moreen would celebrate her birthday on 24th, I gave her one last week. I also bought two moon cakes for us and we will just share some for Faith on 23rd this month. I wish our wishes will be granted on that day.

It amazed me that moon cakes expires like 3 months, when I asked the staff about the expiry date, she said it is on December yet.

The Differences Between The Two

My eldest daughter arrives almost 12:00 n.n., already so we decided to go to their pediatrician later than 1:00 p.m. We were on number 8 in the afternoon schedule so we went to the mall to withdraw and ate some snacks. At 3:00 p.m., we went back to their pediatrician and waited for him to arrived, when it was turn for them for their vaccination, Faith just said "ouch" she seemed like she only bitten by ants but when it was Mj's turn, my oh my she got scared and almost cried, she tried not to though because we keep on teasing her that she's already a big girl and she should not be scared because Faith was not. Their Doctor laugh at her and said if you don't like to be vaccinated she will be left in the Philippines so she just bowed her head and did not move anymore as the Doctor injected her with HIB. The shots turned out right; they both have a power now as what their pediatrician told them.

Nap Time

I was not able to sleep well last night that's why I feel so tired and groggy right now. I need my afternoon nap with the kids I hope Faith would take a nap without any delays. Mj needs to take a bath and nap as well before we will review her notes, tomorrow is their exam for Civics and Science, the hated subjects ever but mind you she got good grades at those subjects than the English subject. Well she needs to improve it anyway happy napping time everyone!

Mommy Moments : Grandmother

My parents died ever since I was a kid so my daughters were not able to experience the feeling of having grandparents around. But if we had given a chance to visit the father of my husband who lives in Florida, I would post it here immediately. I am sure my kids will be delighted to see their only grandparent.

Meanwhile, let me just share to you the sister of my Mom, who is the grandmother of everyone here. Good thing I was able to take her a picture with Faith one day although that was already two years ago.

Faith and the sister of my Mom, Aunt Osang.

With Aunt Osang, the only grandmom the kids have

Advised by Reliable Users

Does anyone of you know and want to recommend the best diet pills for women? My cousin messaged me a lot of times already if I knew one, but I can't recommend some since all the diet pills I took were not effective. She also asked me about the slimming coffee but I still did not asked the one who sell the product yet because my cousin want it for installment and I am not sure if my friend would do installments basis because I paid her the whole amount on the day I bought it from her. The slimming coffee was a bit expensive that's why she want it for installment, I want to help her but how could I when I still could not find one diet pills, that is effective, inexpensive, and advised by reliable users.

Nostalgia # 12 : The Flower in my Ear

Who is this girl in the picture? Well that was the picture that captured the heart of my man, lol. Without that flower in my ear I may not have caught his attention. So to those who are still single, take a picture of yourself with the flower in your ear. Joke!

This was taken way back in the year 2005 and we met online on 2006, time flies so fast it has been almost four years that we knew each other and now we will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary this month. How I wish to received a surprise gift from him though.

Fit to Catch Faith

Does the man in your life want to lose weight or tone muscle? My husband has been dieting, he was successful at first, but has not been able lose any for the past few weeks. The good news is that he has not put any weight back on either. He needs to kick start his metabolism, maybe a testosterone boosters would help. I know he wants to be fit for me and so that he will not get tired of chasing Faith around. She is always on the go and sometimes, she is hard to catch.

Wednesday Wickedness # 14 : Cher

I want to take a nap but I just can't I need to go out very soon so to meet my errands. How I wish I am a super woman so I could finish all the things right at the same time. But, too bad I am not so better be keep going now and finish this Meme so for me to split here.

My Wednesday Wickedness:

1. “A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.” Have you ever had a relationship that you knew was wrong, but had fun anyway?

Nope, how can it be fun while you know it was wrong.

2. “Hate crimes are the scariest thing in the world because these people really believe what they're doing is right.” What group of people committing hate crimes in your country scares you the most and why?

I am glad they are not near here in our place because if they are, I might transferred to North already. There are many of them I guess, so to be safe I just say tot tot and tot

3. “Husbands are like fires - they go out when they're left unattended.” How much effort do you feel a good relationship requires?”

Chatting with him everyday

4. “I won't be able to do what I'm doing forever. There aren't that many scripts floating around for fifty-year-old chicks.” Why are there roles for men till they get very old, yet very few roles are written for older women?

Uhmmm now that is so unfair I hope we can get even at least

5. “I've always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me.” Does what other people think effect what you do?

No, as long as I never hurt someone, why should I care?

6. “If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.” Do you agree with Cher?

Yes

7. “To me marriage is for five or ten years.” In you experience, can a marriage last forever?

It should be forever because no one can break the marriage that is bounded by the grace of GOD

8. “Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great.” When was the last that you felt foolish?

Uhmm I don't remember

9. “Words are like weapons; they wound sometimes.” What types of things have people said have really hurt you?

I don't know, I befriended most of them even those people even those people who doesn't like me.

10. “It's not necessary, in order to be a complete person, that I have a man. It's not the end-all, be-all of my life.” Do you need to be in relationship to feel whole?

Nope, it is all in mind, if you are happy and contented being single then so be it, that's make you feel whole, being in a relationship should be felt by love and cares, and if these two exists that's make you feel complete.

I Got Huge!

Before I got sick last month, a parent from the swimming class recommended me, a slimming coffee, she said it is really effective. As I really want to lose weight real fast, I got the slimming coffee and drink it for one week. I notice I could never feel any starving moment, and since I was so busy during those days, I always forgot to eat on time. There are times that I only eat once a day and that was only at dinner time. After a week, I got a fever, and my head was really aching that even I already took a paracetamol; my head was still so painful.

I stopped drinking the coffee to regain my strength. I was alright then after four days of excruciating pain. But then I got huge, I am even gaining more weight nowadays, I really need a most effective diet pill right at this moment. I wanted to go back to the gym but I just can't since I am too busy with Mj's activities outside school plus their lessons are getting too tough. I need to assist her with her study because if I won't she surely would only get low grades. You know, she's not a gifted child, how I wish she would but she's really not, what can I do? Although she's really trying hard though her grades are better this time than in the previous year, I just hope she would continue getting good grades at school so she could continue her passion in swimming.

We Are Not Lazy

I opted to be quiet but on second thought maybe it is best for me to share my thoughts regarding to a certain person, whom I don't know if she is just envy with my friend getting into blogging and just so happy writing her entry on her space.

My Little Home is my ever first blog ever since I resigned from work; I thought this would only be my online diary so I could update my husband living miles apart from us. I never thought I really could make money out of it. First time I heard about blogging is through my friend Anne of Prose of Relevance that was when I was still working so hard in a call center. From then on, I keep on reading her updates through her blog and found it so enjoyable. Then I thought maybe someday I would make one.

Months passed, I decided to quit working since I already have Faith needed my attention. One day, while reading an update of my friend Anne, I thought maybe that was the time to make one for myself and so I did. I submitted my blog in a paid site and surprisingly I got approved, I was so happy at that time. I realized I don't only enjoy writing an entry, I also made money. I admit, some grammars need to be corrected but I guess my readers could understand what I am trying of deliver each of my article.

Then, I told my friends about making money even your just at home. I told them about blogging and I was glad to know that they are also earning now. The latest I persuaded to blog is my friend Genny, she just earned a little yet for now but I know in due time, she could make it big. One night while she was online, her friend chat with her, she told her then she is writing an entry for her blog, she might not be able to answer her immediately. She was so shocked when her fried told her that bloggers are lazy, and that making money of it is not true. She should not be making herself busy for blogging because she is not even a writer, blogging is only for teachers. She even added that my friend should look for a real job outside to make herself useful because blogging is definitely for lazy people. Good for her that my friend is very calm because if she did it to me, I might do something or say something she would ever regret that she said those words against bloggers.

I am a living witness and I am sure there are many bloggers out there who could prove that yeah you could make money here, even though just a little but I am sure you will be paid. Although we have to be careful because there are spammers out there who just wanted you to write about a certain product then they would not pay you afterwards, but one thing for sure, my GOD WE ARE NOT LAZY!

My Center Table in the Living Room

One of the malls here in our place extended their sales from last month, when I window shopped for a center table, I was able to bump a glass center table that is on sale. I bought it with 20% less, now I'll be looking for a plastic flower with a vase to be put in this table. I just hope that Faith won't climb in and jump into it because I will be devastated if the glass will damage or Faith would encounter an accident because of it. Although the sales man said that it won't break easily, we are still extra careful that Faith will always be reprimanded not to climb in.

Saturday 9 # 17 : Tell Her No

We just arrived from my sister's house, we just had a small gathering and that's it. I brought some foods and a fruit salad with me, I and my kids will going to eat it by tomorrow. It has been a long for the three of us, in fact Faith went to bed for the first time alone and sleep in just a minute, Mj still in the other computer while I am writing my entry at the living room for my Saturday 9.

1. When was the last time that you had to tell someone that you loved, that the answer was no?

Ehhhh???

2. When was the last time you visited a hospital?

Last month, when one of our friends in swimming, her daughter was diagnosed of dengue.

3. If you were to start a club, what would the subject matter be, and what would you name it?

I don't have any idea right now.

4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?

Yup, long time ago, I slap him in his face.

5. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?

Eyes

6. What really turns you on?

Secret, lol

7. What was your biggest mistake?

I guess I just have to keep it myself

8. Tell us something totally random about yourself.

Just an ordinary gal, that could do extra ordinary sometimes

9. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?

Uhmm It was only in my picture a long long long time ago.

Mommy Moments : Wacky!

I guess I have tons of wacky pose, especially Mj because she loves to do silly things in front of the camera. And of this is the picture below, I was waiting for my SSS maternity payment at that time at work when suddenly she said to take a picture of us at the lobby.

Oh, even she just woke up in the morning and did not take a bath yet; she clicked the camera right away and poses like this:

I guess I have to consider this picture a wacky pose of Faith; she was only 3 months old in this picture:

And then when she woke up with a smile, I was lucky to be able to capture this moment of her. It melts my heart so much, seeing her a very happy kid'o.

Now, I don't know what she was doing in this picture, maybe she was doing a ballet session.

And the following wacky pose was when Faith was still one month old, I and Mj at that time doesn't have time to bond anymore because I was attaining Faith all the time. Mj understood but I know she missed me so much so while Faith was sleeping so deeply one night. I and Mj grabbed the camera and have this mommy moment bond ever, we had a lot of copy with different wacky pose but I guess this is enough for my entry here in Mommy Moments:

My entry for:

Much more convenient

For working adults, it’s hard to find time to improve our education. My hubby tells me that when he was working on his masters, all he did was read school books, study and go to class. It would have been much easier for him if he would have been able to get his Masters degree at an Online School. He would have been able to come home after work instead of eating his dinner after work then spending 3 hours in a class room.

Online School are much more convenient, especially for working adults or mothers with children who want to pursue their education. My husband wants me to get my Masters. I know if I choose to go after it, he will want me to do it online so that I can spend time with him and the two monsters.

Nostalgia # 11 : During Admission

Mj has a fever since yesterday due to her runny nose but even so I still did not allow her to go to school today, I let her rest and later this afternoon her fever went down.

To continue the nostalgia I wrote last week, the staff put her to a bed for IV, she was so panicked when she saw the injection, when they started to in inject it, she cried so loud, and in a loud voice she said she will be a good girl anymore and she asked me to help her, to get rid of them. I hugged her and I felt so helpless.

And since I can't be absent at work at night because my evaluation for regularization is on process and at that time I have to be there so I'll be among of those agents to be regularized, I asked my sister to take care of Mj during night time, sometimes she will be the one to be there and sometimes my cousin. After log out in the morning, I will drop by at the eatery to buy them some breakfast before my sister or my cousin gets home. In daytime, even I don't have slept, I will try my eyes open in a long time when my daughter is awake, there are times I wanted to give up but I know I just can't.

While Mj was asleep, I would instantly lie down beside her so I could get some sleep. When suddenly Mj woke up and screamed with all her might, I was frightened, she keeps on telling me that she has a dengue and her hands are so painful. I could not say a word instead I hurriedly went to the nursing station and informed them that there is a kid in the bedroom who keeps on shouting, you know the feeling, when you are in your deep sleep and suddenly you have awakened with commotion around, then you are confused what to do anymore because you really don't know what was going on? That was I exactly felt right at that moment, I walked behind the nurse and when we went inside the room, she asked one guardian there, who is in-charge or the mother of the kid. I abruptly said I am. I know the nurse wanted to burst out laughing because I horribly sound so silly when I informed her about the kid because I seemed like I don't know my kid at all at that time.

Right after she fixed the dextrose of Mj, all a sudden, my surrounding went black, good thing there was a chair behind me when I fell down. Few minutes later, I slowly open my eyes then I saw my workmates, they asked me immediately what happen? Why I was out of my conscious when they came. They even told me to call in at that night so I get a proper rest but I didn't do it, that night I still went to work.

Three days passed, Mj was discharged in the hospital and I got a notice from work that the management approved my evaluation. Out of P13, 000 of my bill, I only paid P6, 000 because of my Phil Health insurance.

Wednesday Wickedness # 13 : Prince William

I am not feeling well again today and so as my eldest daughter too, but that doesn't stop me for writing an entry for Wednesday Wickedness. Happy Wednesday everyone!

1. “I've had lots of kids come up and ask for my autograph, I've had a grandmother stop me and ask me if I know a good place to buy underwear.” Where do you buy your underwear?

Why do you have to know?

2. “I'm always open for people saying I'm wrong because most of the time I am.” How often are you wrong?

Many times, well we're only human we are not perfect.

3. “Harry can paint but I can't. He has our father's talent while I, on the other hand, am about the biggest idiot on a piece of canvas. I did do a couple of drawings at Eton which were put on display. Teachers thought they were examples of modern art, but in fact, I was just trying to paint a house!” What was the last thing that you drew?

Wahh could not remember anymore

4. “I do think I am a country boy at heart. I love the buzz of towns and going out with friends and sitting with them drinking and whatever -- it's fun -- but, at the same time, I like space and freedom.” How would you describe yourself?

I am a happy gal but don't provoke me because I can be mad at times and when I am, you would never know me at all.

5. “I remember her as being a huge inspiration to me, someone to really look up to and admire.” He’s talking about his mom. Who do you admire?

Aside from my husband, my kids

6. “I think it's very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you're responsible for your actions, so you don't blame other people.” How do you think you are about taking responsibility for your actions?

I guess I've done my job well being a mom.

7. “My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.” What are your guiding principles?

Honesty is the best policy? Hehehe

8. “Only the mad girls chase me, I think.” When you were, or if you are, single: What type of people chased you?

No one Lol

9. “I don't deliberately select my friends because of their background. If I enjoy someone's company, then that's all that counts. I have many different friends who aren't from the same background as me and we get on really well -- it's brilliant.” How do you select your friends?

I got tons of friends, my daughter could see that.

10. “People say it's not ambitious, but it is actually quite ambitious wanting to help people.” When was the last time that you volunteered to help people?

Just recently

My Daughter's Photography

Last week my daughter's school celebrated their Buwan ng Wika. I was so busy talking with other parents when she asked me if she could borrow my camera. I handed it to her and said she have to take care of that one, right after she's done, she returned the camera and these pictures I have seen it there.

Her classmates

Oh no! Don't worry this little boy is not a terrorist, he happens only to be in that costume

One of her friends

The winner, not them though it is the section King

Could not go Down and Knock the Door

While watching TV one morning, Faith was sleeping so sound inside our bedroom. I was so hooked up with the house make over in the TV; I was amazed of how they did it with just a little amount to spend about. How I wish I could do that here in this house, but we as I've mentioned before I only rent this house. And I think it would be a waste of money if I would repaint or replace our floor mat to floor tiles then move out later.

I was already in the middle of the show, when I heard Faith's coughing. So I open the bedroom door and I saw her all so wide awake, I realized she was lying in bed with open eyes a little bit long already, she approached me suddenly when she saw me in the door and told me there's a cockroach in the floor. That's the reason why she did not went down from the bed and knock in the door as what she used to do whenever she got up in the morning and she can't find me in the room. The cockroach was already dead though but oh yeah, she's a bit scared of those, even it is already dead.

Biggest Truck Ever!

I guess this is the biggest truck I've ever seen in my whole life. Mj immediately told me to take her a picture with that truck, of course as being the photographer as usual; without any further ado. I clicked our camera right away? Have you ever seen this truck? If yes, would you ever try to ride in it?

Mommy Moments : This I Give To You

I was having a hard time of what to post here because I don't have any treasures or riches to pass on to my kids except the house supposedly but that I gave it away to my other sister already so that's out in the list. Well, except for my bridal gown I wore last year during my wedding, they could change it a little for the trend next generation but I hope they won't change the whole theme of the gown because I believe simplicity will give us a remarkable beauty.

What about you? What are the things you would like to pass on to your kids? Share it with us here:
