Entrecard Widget is not showing up

Is it just me who experienced of not having an EC widget shown in my sidebar? Yes, it has been two days now that whenever I try to EC drop, it doesn't show up anything. My entrecard website also is not loading and sometimes my page as well. But when I try to browse yahoo site or the shopping link that my husband sent me a while ago, it loaded perfectly. I am not sure now if it was only because of my Internet connection or there's something wrong with my other computer. I already ran the scanner for virus, the malware bytes, the defrag but still every time I visit some blogs including mine, it is just so freaking slow.

Good thing, I have my Smart Bro USB and just today, I avail the unlimited surf for two days. And I guess if the Internet connection continues to get crazy, I might avail the one week unlimited surf but I have to buy 200 pesos load to do that. It tends to get slow from time to time but at least, I can see the widget of the Entrecard. Anyway, I hope before the clock strikes at 12:00 n.n., I am already done with EC dropping.

Holding off the effects of aging

As we get older and our body ages, we show more signs of aging. Our joints stiffen and we are just not able to do the things we did before. Ponce De Leon once searched for the fountain of youth, we all long to hold off the effects of aging. There are numerous anti aging products available today. But do they really work? I know that there are wrinkle creams and skin spot removers, but do they just fill in the wrinkles or cover the spots? I don’t know but I am interested in learning more about anti aging products and treatments.

When You're Away

Are you planning for a vacation with your family? I know this must be the biggest treat for your kids and your partner. However something is stopping you, what about the house? Who would take good care or look after your home when you are gone. Well here are some tips I got from Good Housekeeping.

• Make sure that all your doors, even at the back are not easily to open, including windows as well. Double check if you tightly lock it or not.

• Since you are leaving for vacation, surely your house will be empty for days or even a month. Just turn the light on in your living room or any area in your house where it is visible outside. So when someone is trying to get inside the house, your neighbor will be able to notice that somebody is there. But take note, this would only work if you’ll be away for two days. If you will be away for more than two days, it is more advantage to if you trust your house to a friend or a relative to keep tabs in your house.

• As what I have said above, when you are away for a month, you call a friend and notify her of how many days you will be away. You give him/her the full details including your contact number so in case there will be an emergency he/she could call you right away.

• Keep your valuable items in a safe or keep them in a drawer that is securely locked. You must keep those small appliances away from windows.

• Lastly, unplug all electrical appliances; make sure your LPG tank is tightly close, faucets or the main water valve.

Tea Tree Oil

I never expected that tea tree oil can treat eczema, my kids has. Good thing that my eldest daughter eczema was already gone, thanks to my husband because he was the one who figured out that what she has was eczema. Now my youngest one has it also, we went to a Doctor for that and he prescribed us an ointment. It is not totally gone but I guess in due time, it will be. I want to try that tea tree oil for eczema though, if the ointment that her Pediatrician gave her is not effective. We are still using it until now and I don’t like to spend money for other treatment without taking some time for the ointment to work on her allergy.

Bad Weather

Bad weather, go away as I have so many things I need to do here.

That’s my line now because; ever since this morning my Internet connection has been going crazy here at home. I already done the defrag as my friend suggested and done the scanning through malware bytes but still it doesn’t work out right, it is so slow. This is also what I am getting when the weather is not good, so there’s no question about that but holy gracious I want to finish the EC dropping and adgitizing just before the clock hit dawn! How I wish I could go to the mall at this time, I am sure their WIFi is kicking very well as I had been using their service this afternoon when we have lunch. But oh well, I just can’t aside from no one will look after my kids, it is already getting late. Uhmm though I heard there’s a mall wide midnight sale tonight. Oh how I wish to grab the kids there.

Another Supplement

I am slowly losing weight, I believe I am as my bulging belly is starting to flatten, I hope this would continue until I could finally yes I’m back in getting shape. Other than my kids, dieting, diet products and exercise equipments are the most frequent topics I blog about. I recently came across a lipofuse, it is another supplement. Lipofuse is another fat burner and is similar to Apidexin, but with some added ingredients. I am certainly interested in dropping some more pounds, but I need to learn as much as I can about these types of products before I take them.

Without Prescription

The weight loss industry is a big one in the U.S. Every time I open a magazine or turn on the television there are numerous advertisements for weight loss products. I often blog about weight loss products and I know I could lose a few inches off my waist. Some products are over the counter, some you have to have a prescription and some are just types of equipment or exercise DVD’s that will show you their particular exercise system. An example of the products I have come across is phentermine without a prescription. This product has imitators that will pump you full of caffeine and other “herbal” supplements. If you choose to take a weight loss supplement, make sure you understand any side effects it may have on you. Good luck to us all who are trying to lose weight.

Saturday 9 # 24 : Elected

Thank God after the heavy line at the bank, we are finally here in a fast food chain, eating our lunch. Mj was already complaining that she was already hungry thus I told her to hold on because I have to remit some money in the bank so we could have a sumptuous lunch here. I brought my mini laptop here with me so while waiting her at the KUMON this morning, I have something I could get busy with, plus I could work yet on my pending assignments

Moreover, of course, how could I forget in today's Meme? Here's my Saturday 9.

1. Many of my friends have commented they cannot discuss politics with co-workers, family, friends and others without conflict rearing its ugly head. Do you feel you can talk with your family and friends about this particularly divisive election?

Nope, we have different points of view, so I guess it will just brought into chaos if I talk to them about it.

2. Do you know who you're voting for in next week's election? How did you decide?

Our election here is already done

3. What do you think is the most important issue in next Tuesday's election?

I am not sure

4. Can you go a day without laughing?

Nope, because I believe laughter is a good medicine.

5. Do you think that you can chose who you want to love?

Yes of course well I guess

6. Have you ever been on stage? For what?

When I received an award from school

7. Would you ever live in a different country? If yes, where?

Yes, in my husband's place

8. Any plans for Halloween?

We will visit my father's tomb

9. The last costume that you wore, what was it and why did you choose it?

We were dressed in black with a mask, it was a Halloween party at work and it was voted as our costume.

I am in progress to getting old

I just celebrated my birthday this month and everyday I feel like I need an anti wrinkle eye cream because I feel like I have more lines this time than before. I don’t even like to remember my age these days but my eldest daughter keep on reminding me of it, she knows and my youngest daughter as well greeted me in my birthday, in fact she was the one who greet me that morning. It was because she saw this box that looks like a cake for her and she said “Mama, happy birthday! Oh well, no matter how I deny it, I am in progress to getting old. I just have to be thankful to GOD for giving me blessings and for having a family who loves me unconditionally. Most of all, I want to thank my husband for always being there to support me. I always love you hon!

Mommy Moments : Before and After

I am so sorry for being late, I am just so caught up of so many things here, good thing my husband enlightened me and I have his approval. Without any further ado, here are my kids when they were still babies.

This is my youngest daughter

And of course, obviously this is my eldest daughter

And here they are,

the reasons why my little home is full of fun, cares and loved.

My entry for:

Proper Safety Gear

Sports can be fun and dangerous at the same time. Proper safety equipment is always required to protect yourself or your children. As MJ and Faith grow and become interested in trying different things what will they choose. MJ enjoys swimming, but what if Faith will want to ride horses? If she does we must get her the proper safety gear and the most important piece of gear would be an equestrian helmets. But right now, she is contented yet of riding us in our back, making us a horse.

Anyway, I hope Faith would never fall from a horse or even a bicycle. A helmet would certainly protect her head. Do I worry too much about my girls, perhaps, but I am there mom and their safety comes first and foremost when they are involved in any activity.

Skywatch Friday # 1 :Begin the day right with smiles

This is my first time for Skywatch Friday Meme and I need to hurry because I need to pay my contributions for my insurance. Thus, my eldest daughter has to attend her training again later this afternoon. This is my day to face the world with smiles and one reason is that my youngest daughter is now alright, yes, you heard it right, she doesn't have a fever anymore and I don't have to send her to her Pediatrician. Isn't it enough for me celebrate the day right? Happy Skywatch Friday!

Taken when we boarded in a plane,

I was amazed with this scenery so I took a picture of it.

They could not stop talking about it

When we went to a fine restaurant here in our place, they have this binocular that you could use to see little details view from afar. But you have to pay for it so you could use it, if only I have ncstar binoculars, I may let the kids borrow it because they really wanted to see the views, or buildings, or houses even we're on the top of the hill, where that restaurant is located. Hence, since they really wanted it, I just gave them money to for the rent of that binocular. When they viewed those little tiny details, they could not stop talking about it. They told me they have seen our house and the hotel where we stayed when my husband was here.

Nostalgia # 18 : Bloopers from the Call Floor Part 1

I miss working so much, I miss my friends from the call floor and oh the bloopers that I had when taking calls. I was so sleepy then when a technician called me and told me the serial number of the boxes, while he stated the serial numbers I was already sleeping, and was dreaming Nyoy Volante, composing a song for me. When I heard him saying “hello?! Are you still there? I woke up and said is that for a song tech? The technician immediately replied “What song? I thought I am giving you serial numbers. LOL My friend seated beside me that night can’t help but to laugh.

There was also one time, right after I logged off from work; I went to the church immediately that morning. While I was standing, I closed my eyes to pray, nevertheless I did not, I stumble, I feel like there’s someone who hit me with a paddle so my knees bent and I fell. I was already sleeping and I didn’t know that! Anyway, I want to share some bloopers in the call floor.

Wednesday Wickedness # 19 : Stephen King

I and my eldest daughter will be going out a bit early than our usual time today because we wanted to attend the swimming class, aside from KUMON.

Random Thoughts

I started this day with an exercise. Yes I do aerobics now at home specifically hip hop abs, my belly is really bulging out, and I have to get rid of it. I bought the tapes the other day, I think it helps me a lot as I am also drinking a slimming coffee right after the work out. I sweat a lot but I had so much fun. I feel like the toxic inside my body just went out.

I supposed to go to the school of my eldest daughter since she did not bring any foods for lunch. But my sister was not able to come here early in the morning because she has errands to do so. Good thing our neighbor went there and I was able to message her to give some money for my daughter so she could buy herself some lunch and I will just pay her afterwards. My youngest daughter was so hooked up with DORA thus I was able to take a nap at least in a while. Later in the afternoon my sister came to watch after Faith. Hence, I sent Mj to KUMON right after school.

The weather was gloomy today; the sun did not come out maybe because of the storm that hit in Luzon today. We are so blessed here because, never in my entire life have I experienced storm.

Before I will end this post, I pray and hope that the people in Indonesia will be safe; I heard a big tsunami just hit the country causes of a 7.7 earthquake magnitude that happens just on Monday. Oh dear GOD protect them and shield them with your love and care.

We Bumped in to a Friend

Just before we went out for my eldest daughter swimming, I received a text message from my friend Selina, telling me, she would like to meet me. They are here for a long vacation; I didn't expect that she would love to see me again, since I am sure they would be very busy for their family. If only I have all the time, I also love to meet and see her but geez my eldest daughter's schedule is very hectic, even though their final is over and their Intramural will be this week just before the semestral break. But we still could not stay in our home since she has to attend swimming everyday this time. Her coach has been requesting her to take the daily training but we just can't, not to mention that our house is too far away from the venue, she has KUMON also to attend twice a week.

But the fate made a way for us to see and talk to each other even only in a little while. I saw her husband at the mall when I and my eldest daughter dropped by there to buy her a new goggles since the strap was cut and we could not repair it anymore. We were in a hurry that I was just able to say hi and asked him to say hi to his wife for me. Moreover, when we took the stairs instead of the escalator, I bumped in to my friend Selina, but too bad because we were not able to talk much. Notwithstanding of our little time, she still did not forget to invite me to be a godmother of her son next month. I am so waiting for that event, and I hope we can talk more this time. I miss you too Selina!

Take the Pink Ribbon Challenge

My Aunt just visited me on Saturday asking for a little help because she needs to go to a specialist for a check up. I supposed to do grocery shopping yesterday, I was not able to do so because I need to give her some cash for her check-up, I just hope that she really went to a specialist because there's a part on her breast that swollen and when it popped, the puss keeps on coming out. I am sorry if you find this article so gross. Her condition reminds me of the Breast Cancer Awareness this month and so I am joining.

Mommy Moments : Kissing Scene

I only have one picture that was when Faith kissed me as her way of saying thank you that I have sent her to the mall.

But I'll be showing you of my family's pictures when Faith just born.

My entry for:

Standing Still

If I am the owner of this house I am renting, I should not put a total concrete around the house because it tends to be so hot especially when the clocks hit 12 n.n. We are always perspiring. I wanted to buy some plants to be displayed in front but I just don't have time yet.

On the second though, I don't want to beautify or put my whole good intention to it then I would only leave it behind because I might not have the heart to leave it anymore. Our plan to even put a screen to our window was even distracted when I know that my husband could not make it on August and September. Due to some circumstances that happen along his way, he was not able to visit us here as promised. The fate has been trying our patience, but I am standing still with this marriage because this is what I had been wanted, a family of my own after all.

Working in a Night Shift

My brother-in-law works in a night shift, it was a home based so he doesn't have any problem with transportation anymore. He was so happy that he was accepted for that job, it fits him right because he is a lay out artist. To work at home is a dream comes true for him now he doesn't have to commute and be late. But what he is so concerned for now is his eye bugs and he tends to have a dark circles around the eyes, it gets even darker now since the day he started a night shift schedule. He definitely needs an eye cream for dark circles around his eyes, because it does not look good. He sometimes teased that he is a vampire only he is not as handsome as Edward Cullen. I once have a dark circle around my eyes too before when I was still working as a call center agent and I tell you it doesn't feel good when you have those and the eye bugs, oh geez, thank GOD that I am not working in a night shift anymore.

Nostalgia # 17 : I was Lost!

Sometimes, my Mom would escape to go to the market. She succeeded of leaving me at home but most of the time, she's not.

One day when she prepares her wet goods to place it in the table, I walked away without asking her permission and went back when it was already dark. Darn! I cannot find her on her place; the woman beside her where she displayed all her wet goods said she already went home. Waaahhh she left me at the market, so I ran to the Jeepney stop but oh no! She really did left me, a policewoman came to rescue me, she asked about my parents and where did I live. She gave me toys and lives with her and her family for a week! They don't have a daughter so she keep me and did not report to her authority that I was lost. Good thing when she took me from the Jeepney stop, a friend of Mom saw me. She told my Mom about it since they were already worried and Mom was already panicked, she really thought she would lose me at that time. She forgot that she brought me at the market, my father was already mad but he can't tell it to Mom because he knows that Mom is already nervous. They went to different headquarters and even went to the radio station to announce that whoever founds me should return to the address that my Mom gave to the station manager.

When Mom arrived at the policewoman’s house, she took me immediately. The woman who found me grabbed me back, they have to wrest over me. The policewoman said that my Mom already left me and she doesn’t have the right to take me back because she did not care to me at all. My Mom fought back and said she did not mean to leave me in the wet market. In the end my Mom won and she brought me home.

A Good Day To Start

I bought aerobics and dance hip hop exercise in DVD yesterday. Last night, together with my youngest daughter who keeps on imitating the dance steps, I started to watch and do the aerobics.

Early this morning, I played the tape again and guess what? I sweat a lot. It was a good day to start; it boosted my adrenalin and energized me a lot. I am sure if I will be doing this every morning, I will be getting back my shape once and for all. If not, then I shall look for a safe diet pills and intake it every after I am done with the exercise. What do you think about that? Do you think I would lose weight this time? I hope though because I really missed my figure before, I was slim yet so healthy.

Movie Treat for my Kids and Sister

I am just so lucky to have my eldest daughter around because this morning when I felt so sleepy, she was the one who cooked rice for us just after she was done taking a shower. I was able to take a nap at least an hour. Although, we had misunderstanding at times, she still showed me how she care and love me so much. I am such a lucky Mom.

I should be posting another Meme today but due to some circumstances, I just leave it as it is. So today will not be a Meme day for this blog.

Last Saturday, I thought to treat my kids and sister Merlyn for a movie doesn't hurt my pocket at all. So after we're done shopping for our stuffs, we headed to the cinema to watch "Petrang Kabayo" It was a good movie, we kept on laughing of Vice Ganda turning into a horse because he was so rude to his people in his ranch. The queen of horses punished him that if he continues to being so rough with his men, he will be forever a horse.

Here's the trailer:

All I Want This Christmas

Any husband out there who have ideas of what's the best christmas present for wife? Do you plan to give her precious watch, or roses, or perhaps a glittering jewelries? Well, if you do, your wife must be the happiest woman on earth. If you ask me what do I like to have this holiday season? I only have one answer for that and that is to be with my husband everyday. You see, it has been a year that we haven't been together, we are doing our best for it but this time we could only hope. I do believe that GOD will never forsake us in this journey; I know a miracle would be along our way, we just have to be patience about it.

In My Rented Home

The Semester break is approaching; two days from now would be the examination of my eldest daughter at school. We are doing our best to prepare for it; especially that she is having a hard time with her Math subject this time. They are already in fraction, mixed fraction to be exact; I even had a hard time for it. I just told her to listen to her teacher intently so she could cope up.

You may find this so gross but I have to be thankful that there’s no much cockroach here anymore. This is what I hate with this rented house because no matter how I sprayed where they nested, they are still kicking in. It has been days already that I tried to do it from their nesting place up to the living room every night, when the kids are already in the bedroom. Our bedroom is so sealed so there’s nothing to worry for some spray to get in. Surely, it made them go away but I realized it might still not good for our health as well, so I decided to spray them a day after another or thrice a week perhaps.

On the other hand, a man just knocked in our door this morning, asking if I would like my front yard, outside our gate to landscape. I wanted it to; it might be a good idea for the front yard to be handle by some expert artistically to embellish the area. But I have doubts, since if we could not pursue this year to migrate in another country; I really wanted to own a house. And if it would be a waste of money to beautify the front yard when I know we will move out very soon. I hope!

Status : Taking a Nap

I am still so sleepy, although I sleep a bit early last night, I am still sleepy now. Maybe this is because of my puff for asthma and the medicine that my Doctor gave me. It really makes me droopy and dizzies that no matter what I do to make myself awake, it always ends with the picture below. So folks let me just take some nap. See you later!

Attended A Baptismal For My Nephew

I and my kids attended a baptismal of my nephew; good thing Faith opened her eyes when her sister tried to wake her up this morning. I was about to prepare when I heard Faith already talking to her sister. We were in a hurry to finish everything including breakfast. And we arrived at the church enough for us to hear the homily of the priest.

As promised, right after the baptismal, I treat them to a fine restaurant for lunch. My sister did not have a big celebration for her son at home; unlike of what we had for Faith when she was baptized, if I should have known that my nephew was not baptized yet, I might include him on that day.

Well, anyway we had a big sumptuous lunch, the kids were so happy. I guess Faith was already starved because she was able to finish her own share of rice.

There was only two ninang with no ninong at all but it was alright though, because my nephew Christian is already a fully pledged Christian now.

Welcome to Christian World my Nephew!

Saturday 9 # 22 : Spooky

I just arrived from meeting a friend in the mall, she pay me today. Thank GOD I have something I could use by tomorrow right after my nephew's baptismal; I have plans to treat them at lunch.

Time flies so fast, in two weeks time; here comes the spooky and the creeping time for Halloween. We don't celebrate Halloween here but we are commemorating the memories of our love ones who has gone away. We usually visit them at their resting place; some people would stay at the cemetery over night. I am not sure if our local government here would allow the people to bring musical instruments or DVD's component. But I am certain they won't allow alcohol unlike before it was alright with them to have some drinks in the cemetery.

And speaking of Halloween and stuff, here's my entry for:

1. Does anything about Halloween “spook” you?

Oh yeah, but that was before, my father always told me that he saw my Mom visited me at night.

2. What is the favorite costume you have ever worn for Halloween?

None

3. What is your favorite thing about Halloween?

Foods

4. What one topic is (or was) the most painful to discuss with your parents? Why?

My parents died when I was only a kid

5. What was the happiest day of your life? Do you think you'll ever top it?

When I get married and yes, when I and my husband will be together. I really hate being miles apart from him.

6. What animal would you like to be able to communicate with?

Birds

7. In what way do you come nearest to perfection (as you define it)?

I guess there's no perfect in this world so I really can't define it.

8. Do you have any recurring nightmares?

Nope

9. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be and why?

I guess none, because I will not be in my position today if I was not raised properly, if there's one thing I was sulked about is that, why it was hard for them to support me when I was in college, while I was a beneficiary of my father's pension.

Mommy Moments : Bubbles

My youngest daughter love bubbles but I was not able to capture her one, although we had an actual video of her, trying to catch some bubbles, while Mj was blowing her some.

This is my entry for:

Nostalgia # 16 : The Naughty Me

You may notice that I seldom talk about my Mom; it is because I don't have much memory with her since she took away from us when I was 5 years old yet. But according to my sisters, I was the most loved and cared, they said she would always be there for me whenever I have to be scolded because of naughtiness, too much playful, and spoiled. My Mom always brought me when she had to work in a wet market; she sell fishes, clamps, crabs and shrimp. Oh I love those specially shrimps! There were times that I would steal a shrimp from the display so we could roast it with my friends. I would hide under the table and from there; I extend my hand to reach the shrimp. My mom just smiled, she knows that tiny hands trying to get the shrimp. Sometimes she will just hand it to me, then I would run to my friends and together we will eat the shrimp after it was cooked.

When Mom would prepare her things for us to go home, she would asked my sister to look for me because I was in nowhere. Yeah, the moment we arrived at the market, I would always roam around the place with my friends and sometimes I won't get back until my Mom would call me. And every time I am back at the market, my sister would complain because my dress was a mess, I was so dirty from playing around so my Mom would ask my sister to buy me a new dress. Everyday she would buy me a new dress and my sister as what I heard mostly would get envious.

Photo not mine

That should be it for now, next week I would post the day when I was lost because my Mom forgot that she brought me at work.

I can make him look good

My husband always tells me that he does not like shopping and when he does go, he always waits until he absolutely must buy clothing. Well I am not an expert at choosing men's clothing, but looking at some of the things he buys, I know I can do better. I can make him look good if I choose the right clothes for him. It is not that he does not like to wear nice clothes, I think it’s just that he does not like choosing things for himself. I hope he does not mind it when I go shopping, lol after all, he can take care of the girls and I will buy his clothes, and by the way, I can buy mine too.

Wednesday Wickedness # 18 : Kim Kardashian

I and my kids will have to go out to see their Pediatrician early in the morning, this is the day of their schedule for booster. I hope there's no much patients today so my eldest daughter can still attend her class later in the afternoon. With no further ado, my fellow blog pals, here's my entry for Wednesday Wickedness.

1. "White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white." Tell us about your first car.

I don't have a car, ever if I have I will have it yellow.

2. "I've just had enough of people misrepresenting me. Get to know me and see who I am." Have you ever been paranoid?

Sometimes

3. "I opened the store myself. Even Paris and Nicky Hilton -- they`re completely independent too." How old were you and what were you doing when you became independent of your parents?

I have my share of being independent when I was a kid because my parents took away from me and went to heaven. I was fully independent when I was in college and was working in the school I attended for.

4. "I want to be a Bond girl!" Have you ever wanted to be in the movies?

Nope, I hope but naah

5. "I would never snub Hugh Hefner. I love him and his whole team." How much money would it take for you to pose nude?

I can't pose nude so even you lay me millions in my table, I will still say no

6. "I think my sense of style is evolving. I'm figuring out ways to be sexy without having to flaunt it." Who are the top 3 sexy celebrities in your opinion?

I can't think as of now

7. "I'm the girl who's too shy to dance in a nightclub — maybe for one song, and then that's it." Tell us about the last time that you danced in a nightclub?

In a disco, but that was too long ago. That was the first and the last, I don't like to dance with so much crowd around me because I can't dance at all.

8. "I want to be pregnant by the time I'm 30, hopefully." Since normal people don’t decide on having kids depending on their age, what factors do you think are important when making that decision?

When you can already support your baby and is ready enough to become a mother

9. "My balance is really bad. I just hope my clumsiness doesn't show through". Is there anything about you that you hope doesn’t show through?

Yup my clumsiness as well

10. "I eat less junk food, hardly any soda, and just try to eat more protein. I definitely can’t give up sweets all together, so I just toned them down!" How does one “tone down” their diet?

I don't know because until I just can't lose some pounds. GRRR

To help you with medical expenses

My Aunt died of cancer. At first we were shock and we were in denial, we just can't believe it, she had it. Her life has been a constant turmoil when she had her chemotherapy, her immune system went down and she was so weak. After a few months she said goodbye, it has been a very difficult time for us. But it made us realized that even how healthy we are, we should go to our doctor annually for us to be aware of our status. And we have to eat healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, and foods that have a lot of nutrients. I don't eat much vegetables but I learned that lesson.

When my Aunt got sick, her insurance being a teacher helped her children a lot so they could cope up with their expenses from the day of her chemotherapy down when she died. I hope to those who suffered Mesothelioma disease could also get their benefits from the manufacturer they worked for, but if you happen to have an asbestos disease or any related to such, you can find a Mesothelioma lawsuits to help you out with medical and financial difficulties, they could help you claim it from the manufacturer where you had an exposure of asbestos. So all together we can fight cancer, especially when we helped one another to exterminate it. Remember health is wealth.

Some Drivers Are Stubborn

When I went out this morning, the Jeepney that I was ridden was too fast. I thought he would minimize his speed just a bit later but nope it seems like the accelerator just increased every now and then. I called the attention of the driver to slow down, I wonder why all the passengers were just tamed, then later one passenger second the motion. Then the driver slows down, he listened, at least I don't hear any complaints from him that he can't catch up a passenger anymore when he gets back to his route. Some drivers are just so stubborn that they would even drive too fast when someone complaints of their driving, or someone would ask them to slow down.

Our Mayor has been telling them, regarding with their speed, now he imposed a 20 to 40 Km/hr, that should be the limit of their speed but I don't know if the drivers here would put that on their mind. Well, I hope, so that no one will be a victim anymore because of their carelessness.

A Furniture For His Patio

My husband had this patio in his place and I noticed that we need the furniture to replace since it is almost giving up. My husband was not able to buy a new one because he has been so busy at work. His routine would be work and he does overtime, he would go home and talk to me. Most often than not, there's no way he can take good care of those stuff at home, he sometimes would repair it but unfortunately some things just expire. A while ago I found some rustic furniture that he might like; this would be nice to be place in patio. He just needs to choose what designs he wanted for a furniture then we could purchase it. I also found a Christmas tree in the mall, it was not that expensive and yet it is a 6 ft. high, I haven't buy it yet because I am waiting for him to arrive.

On the other hand, tomorrow would be my kids’ vaccination. Surely, I would spend again some bucks; well for Faith this would be the last one, for Mj she has one or two shots yet for these coming days.

Morning Rush

Whoa, I forgot to set my alarm clock so this morning we woke up so late. When I check the clock it was already 7:00 a.m., in the morning. I told my eldest daughter to hurry so she could eat her breakfast and I'll just send her lunch later. Good thing, when her carpool arrived she was almost ready.

This morning, I have to meet the teacher of Mj in KUMON, she would tell me the performance of my daughter in English, so far she's doing good, not the excellent remark though but it's alright as long as she improved, I am still so proud of her. Now she is in level B1 and in Math, she is level D.

When I came back home, I could hear Faith from the window, calling me "Mama" She saw me getting down from the tricycle, the moment I stoop inside our living room, I hand her a Pretzel then after a while she asked me to open it. She already ate some corn flakes, straight off; she's smashing down the cookies. She had too much appetite nowadays; I hope it would continue thus we don't have to force her to eat.

So far, that was my morning folks, later I have to fetch Mj and send her to KUMON.

Boots for Winter

I often watched a model reality contest in TV and recently I've seen them, wearing boots for the winter when they ramped on the stage. They wore varieties of boots and one of them are koolaburra boots, I just love the style of it, it was fashionably design and it just suits my taste. I would have to tell my husband about it, I hope if we are ready to buy those boots or if we are already there, we could get discounts or 50% off. But now I just have fill up my eyes, looking for those trendy boots and some apparel for winter.

Cebu Pacific Attendants Dancing, The Male Version

Surely, you already seen the female dancing attendants in Cebu Pacific, everyone had so much fun watching it. It was even featured in Yahoo News last month. This is one way to entertain the passengers while they listened for the safety tips upon boarding the plane. Next time, I have to ask my husband to reserve a ticket through Cebu Pacific when we go to Manila so I could see these guys dancing the new dance craze.

Now, here's the male version:

She will be back

I bought my mattress from our neighbor when she and her husband settled in Manila for good but when I visited their place yesterday, her brother-in-law cleaned the whole house. I thought someone else would occupy the place already since I heard she would sell the house but nope, she will be the one to live in that house again. Her brother said she would come back here for good, she misses the place and to sell it would be a great mistake, well I don't blame her for coming back because here friends are here and she loves that house very much.

All her appliances inside the house were already sold when she had a garage sale few months back. She may buy appliances again when she arrives or I might sell back the mattress I bought from her, what do you think?

How I wish to start my workout soon

I feel so heavy, I ate a lot tonight. Well, who could resist that roasted chicken in the table that my sister bought for our dinner. Geez, I feel bloated I really need to start my workout soon that if I will not be very busy. I miss wearing rubber shoes but I guess I would be more comfortable if I wear mbt shoes I saw over the Internet an hour ago. I miss doing the dance steps that our aerobics instructor provided for us and most of all, I miss the treadmill that I used right after the aerobics session. If I would do the aerobics session again, I think I will have to do it here at home. How I wish I could find some time to exercise, needless to say, I must organized my time and be strict with it.

My Kids at the 3D cinema

Did I mention two weeks ago that we watched a 3D movie? Yes it was already two weeks ago but the Legend of the Guardians is still showing until now. Whoa, I guess this movie would be nominated for awards because it airs almost a month already. If you hadn't watched it, you must pack your belongings and go to the movie right now, don't forget to watch it in 3D, I am sure you would enjoy it.

Here's Faith at the 3D cinema wearing her 3D eyeglass!

My two kids enjoying the movie

He must look for one yet

I don't have a car because I don't know how to drive, my husband has one in the states but it is not a Recreational vehicle yet he wishes to own one for the family. Merely, he is worried of its maintenance, he must look for rv repairs expert or consultant so he will not be perturb about it. I am no expert at all for cars and the like hence; I have him decide of what he wants for the family, what I am concern about is the expenses he would incur if he buys one. I hope he can get a cheaper price for his dream RV.

I watched "I Do" Alone

I have wanted to watch the movie "I do" since the first day it was shown, but because we were so busy, I was not able to join the first screening plus I was with my daughter at that day thence there's no way I could watch it. I know it was rated GP but I don't want Mj to think that being a teenage pregnant is that easy because it is not, even you already have graduated and have job it is assuredly not easy especially when the guy is not around and you are not married.

I do is about a college lady who has been dreaming of her "the one". When she met Lance (Enchong Dee) she knew he is the one she would get married but it turn out the other way around. The guy was not ready because of his family. His family wanted him to marry a Chinese the same as theirs. The official trailer is as follows:

Family Road Trip

It is indeed a lot of fun for the family to ride in an RV for a family getaway but as parents we often think about how safe our family is in the road especially when we encounter breakdown along the highway. So when you are planning to have a get away, you should make sure that you already sign up for roadside assistance thus you don't need to worry when something happen during your family road trip. My husband has been planning about it but maybe right after we are settled, geez I missed him so much I hope to have a positive result when he arrives.

My Ear Phone Was Found

It has been awhile since we could not find my earphone, my youngest daughter was the first one to notice when she use my phone to listen for her favorite song. She asked me about it, and I asked her to try to look for it inside my bag but she could not find it. I just ignore it when she said it was not my bag because I thought it was just there and she uses only her mouth not her eyes, you know sometimes our mouth would just easily give up and would say we could not find it when in fact it was just there in front of our very eyes. But that time, I realized it was really lost when I was the one who tried locating it, after like a month, I was already giving up.

Last week, I was ready to buy a new earphone but I just don't have the time to see around. So I said to myself, soon when I will get over with Mj's training fins, gosh! It really emptied my pocket on Saturday, not to mention that my husband is out of town for work and I could not just ask him to wire me enough funds, good thing he was online yesterday and sent me some so I and my kids can go out of the house. Last night, when I was uncluttered my things in the drawer, I saw my long lost earphone. Mj was even surprised; she asked me where I found it. Well, it doesn't matter who took it and place it there, importantly I found it.

A Recreational Vehicle

I like traveling and seeing new things. But I have never ridden in a recreational vehicle or RV. I think it would be a lot of fun for the family to travel in one and see the sights. I want to go to Yosemite Park, the Grand Canyon and I want to see monument valley. If we were to buy and RV we would certainly need rv loans. Well, whether we were to rent or buy, I am sure we would enjoy the trip. I wonder if I could drive something that big. What do you think?

A Nice Compliment from a Stranger

It is nice to hear compliments especially when it is for your kids.

All of you know that my eldest daughter is under training for swimming. When they do sprinting again on Thursday, I saw a woman approached her when she got out from the pool and talked to Mj. When they finished the sprinting, I asked my daughter what did the woman told her or asked her, my daughter said she asked her of her age, then later she told Mj, she does very well in swimming.

As a Mom, I feel so proud that a stranger made a compliment of my daughter. Mj was so overjoyed with that appreciation that she was excited to tell it to her aunt. I know she had a long way to go yet in swimming, she had still so many things to learn about this skill but no matter what happen, if she succeeds or not, we are still here and would always support her. We are always proud of you Mj. I hope you would always instill it in your mind that if you succeeded you should put your feet in the ground.

Chief of Staff

Storage space can cost money and protecting private information in a digital age is important. Being able store documents can reduce the cost of containers, and floor space. If you want to digitize documents for storage, you will need document management software. Just storing a document in digital format does not do much good if you cannot find it. My husband’s office is currently digitizing document in order to reduce floor space for document storage containers. Their challenge is to be able to file the digitized documents in a way that they can easily be retrieved. I love computers and I hope I could land a job the same as his, that if he would hire me but I guess I am best of being a chief of staff specialize in cleaning in the house. LOL

So much alike

Faith and Mj are so much alike, especially when they cried, oh my! Their expression showed that they are really sisters. This morning, I found them having the same position at the same time and since my husband is in California for work travel and he is so tired from meeting and stuff. I am sure these pictures would give him enough joy and would make him smile. What do you think?

I hope this luck continues

When I travel I worry about the kids. But my hubby and MJ worry about me. They are worried that I might get sick or have another type of travel emergency. They always want me to check in with them so that they will know I am safe. I am not sure what Faith thinks when I am away for a few days. The last time was when MJ and I were in Cebu for a seminar. But I know she is always happy when I get home. So far I have been lucky when traveling. I have not gotten sick or have had any other incidents where I might have to see a doctor. I hope this luck continues.

It is time for them to say goodbye

When we arrived home last night from swimming, Mj immediately went to her room to review her Math subject at school, she was not able to answer it so I asked her to redo her solution. While I was there with her in the bedroom to check, Faith was also busy running around the house, wearing my cap. I have opened the bedroom of Mj so I could see her, it was only like a blink of an eye and she was there in the table, trying to put the cap on the top of our pitcher glass. I hurriedly went to her, carried her and tried saving the pitcher glass but it already fell in the floor. The pitcher glass broke into pieces, my precious glass is gone. It was a wedding gift from a friend now it said goodbye, first was our rice cooker now my precious pitcher glass. Faith knew I was mad so she runs to her sister in the bedroom, but oh well those precious gifts served us well already, I think it is time for them to say goodbye.

New Pictures from a Friend

My friend from Georgia posted some new pictures in Facebook when they went to Florida yesterday. She took a picture of a modern furniture of the hotel that they stayed and I was really impressed. How I wish, I could buy some stuff, like that at home, maybe when our house has enough space to put those huge and glamorous furniture we could. I was also fallen in love with the sunset; it was so awesome, as if the sun kissed the ocean until it's gone. Her family had so much fun with the white sand and the beach; I could see them smiling so wide. My friend is a beach lover, she must be thankful that her husband brought her there.

Saturday 9 # 21 : Hush

Since we have to go out early this morning and though I was advised not to bring my computer for me to rest my eyes and to avoid irritation, today I disobey that advice because I would be out the whole day and can't do the things I have to do here. I am actually blogging in Jollibee located just near the KUMON, so while waiting for Mj, let me start with Saturday 9 today. Have a blessed Saturday folks!

1. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?

Both

2. Do you take compliments well?

Yes, of course

3. Are you judgmental?

Nope

4. Do you think more about the past, present or future?

Present and the future, because I can't turn back the time anymore so even how hard I will try to correct the past, I would be just wasting my time.

5. What do you hate?

I hate people who seemed like they owned the world

6. Use three words to describe yourself.

Petite, funny and friendly

7. Do you celebrate Halloween? Explain:

Nope, in our country we don't go threat and trick but we always visit our deceased relatives in the cemetery. Some people wound spend overnight to commemorate the memories of their love ones.

8. If you were mixing up a witches brew, what would be in it?

I don't know

9. If you're in a room with two beds, which one do you sleep on?

The first near the door, lol

Cool to Wear

I love wearing boots though I live in a tropical country but I haven't tried rain boots with colors in it. I think it is cool to wear those boots which designed according to your taste, I have tried boots before but I only have a boring plain black color. It would be much nicer when you can express yourself even the world around gets dark and the wind was swaying your umbrella away.

Having those trendy boots could not just help me from getting cold when it rained but it also protects me from water flood getting into my feet, knowing that the water is definitely came from a dirty watercourse in the street.

Shopping Online

Do you like to shop online? How is it when you shop the first time? I haven’t experience shopping over the Internet yet maybe because our mall here is not that far and we have ample of time to visit and go shopping. One friend told me that she is into online auction so she could grab lesser price for any stuffs like apparels, gadgets, bags, dresses and much more. If I have known this long time ago when we are still looking for my eldest daughter’s swim wear, I might grab the opportunity to look for her stuff. Unfortunately the website that I and my husband visited doesn’t offer much. Well, better luck next time.

Oh yes! It's Negative

I got the result of my chest x-ray yesterday and I was so happy to know that it is negative. I don't have scars and my x-ray was clean and so clear. I am healthy! I was so worried though because of my asthma but oh well, I just have to follow my doctor's advice and I know the whistling that he could hear when he checked me would be gone in no time.

I am still taking an antihistamine for my allergy; I sneeze every morning maybe because of the season plus the dust I inhale each and every time. Life is so beautiful and even I am so busy nowadays I still can't help to smile because I am just so blessed. Thank you GOD!

Winter is coming and he needs to be warm

Winter is coming, according to my husband; it is his most hated season of the year because it would be so cold. I think if I will advise him to just soak in a hot tub so he could relax feel warm, he might want to do it. On the second thought, I am not sure if he has a hot tub at home, I might ask him when he gets back from his trip in California if he doesn't have one yet, well he better be going to look for a hot tub and he must not forget to include the hot tub cover so when he need not to use it, he will not worry of bugs and insects because it has cover to prevent them of getting inside the tub. This time, he must not hate the winter anymore because of his new spa that would give him comfort, warm and he could relax too when he doesn't have a work.

Mommy Moments : Hairstyle

Mj is as well have a pretty standard in regards with hairstyle, it would only change when there are some occasions we need to attend and we need to a hair make over.

Mj's hairstyle on my wedding

During their Christmas play at school on December 2009

Ordinary hairstyle for an ordinary day

In the contrary, Faith still didn't have any hair cut yet, my husband asked me to have her a hair cut soon but I thought it would be the best if he is there for her first ever hair cut. Moreover, here's Faith hairstyle from then on until now

Faith's hairstyle when she is only four month's old hehehe

The last picture is the recent one, I guess you already seen this to my other blog

At first, I wonder why Faith has a curly hair, then my husband told me, maybe Faith got that hair from his sisters as they all are curly at the bottom part of the hair.
