Little World Of Fun

Green Wall For Your Business

2012-02-01T08:52:00.001+08:00

This is the tarpaulin of my daughter on her birthday; my brother-in-law was the one who made this. Isn't that awesome? I just picked the background in the Internet and since Mj loves water, I choose the queen of the wave, I love the way he puts Mj in the surfing board, it looks she is really surfing and made a pose. The first picture was when we went to a studio to have our picture has taken the third one in the bottom was when she dive during her competition in Langoy Pilipinas, I thought I set the camera in video but when I click for it, the setting was for picture taking so that perfectly captured picture was but an incident.

Anyway, if you are looking for someone to make you, forms or receipts forms for your business with affordable rates, just contact me I would refer you to my sister Green Wall Printing Press, they create tarpaulins, ID, signage etc. etc. Or you may call this number 082-282 3226 and look for Irenie.

On the other note, don't mind that little stains below the Happy Birthday sign because I intentionally erased it from Adobe CS 3 and since I don't know how to used the icon, I just picked the eraser icon and simply wiped the text that was written there.

Confused

2012-01-31T12:39:00.002+08:00

After my eldest daughter's birthday now I am busy again preparing with my youngest daughter's birthday, I am planning to hold it in Jollibee but I guess it is better if I would host it at Woodridge, my sister the one who always with Faith wanted to have it at school so all her classmates could join. I am really not sure though, I am so confused.

Heated Clothing

2012-01-31T11:33:00.000+08:00

I want to try sledding down a mountain of snow or even to try skiing. But I have never really experienced the cold that can be expected from those types of activities. The idea of heated clothing becomes appealing if I think of being out in the cold for any length of time. Tourmaster Synergy 2 offers various types of heated clothing. I know that I would have to have appropriate attire for the cold and if I want to enjoy it, I certainly don’t want to feel cold. I will want to dress warmly to avoid the chill and so that I can have fun.

KID # 19 : Kitchenette and Books

2012-01-30T08:24:00.000+08:00

I am back of doing Meme, I got lost but good thing I was so patient of trying to trace back where could I find this Meme anymore. Of course I am referring about Kids N Doodles, I missed this Meme and now I am ready.

By the way, these are the toys of my youngest daughter, these were our gifts for her last Christmas and I am glad that she loves it. Sometimes this kitchenette is only placed in the corner because she is too busy with her browser in the computer and her studies too.

These were her cute books too, she could identify all the colors and the shapes but not yet with Alphabet, she is still learning about that.

This is my share for Kids in Doodles

Worried

2012-01-29T21:42:00.003+08:00

I am really worried of my daughter's cough because until now she still have it. We already let her take medicines regularly but still it doesn't subside. She always woke up with her hard cough and I can't help but wake up as well to attend her, she's asking water whenever she cough so we have the water ready for her just beside our bed. I hope that before the medication would reach 7 days, she is already okay.

Happy Natal Day Mj

2012-01-27T06:54:00.000+08:00

It is my eldest daughter's birthday today and she is so excited about it. She expects her friends from the team would come and she is looking forward to play her barbie dolls with them. To you Mj! Happy Birthday and may your wish will come true on your birthday!

Advance Happy Birthday To My Daughter

2012-01-26T07:57:00.002+08:00

I just want to greet an advance happy birthday to my daughter. I hope all your dreams will come true and that you will be surprised on your upcoming birthday, remember even I sometimes get mad at you or disappointed at you, I love you so much! And when I scolded you or trying to correct your mistakes that is because I want you to become a good individual not only to me but to everyone else as well.

Coughing

2012-01-24T10:41:00.004+08:00

Thank GOD Faith is okay now and she's off to school. Their written exam will be tomorrow, she was not able to attend their long quiz on Friday because I need to send her to her Pediatrician right away. The only problem is that she have a cough and I guess it became worst, we just let her take Lagundi so to avoid side effects, they said it is herbal so it is okay since she is taking an anti biotic for her UTI infection.

Music For My Youngest

2012-01-24T10:36:00.001+08:00

One thing about my kids, the like music and my youngest loves to bang on things to try to keep time. Well she tried the play the tambourine at her school Christmas party. It was fun watching her play she was so serious. I wonder what she would do with an alesis dm8 drum set. I think she has talent and that it will improve with practice. But what is the correct age to start her on drums and if I do can we stand the noise? Well she is a smart girl and I am sure she can learn and become adept at playing them. I would hope that the younger she would start the better she will become. What do you think?

Waiting...

2012-01-22T09:11:00.001+08:00

This is my baby waiting for her turn at the clinic when we went there the other day. She was watching tv here, we thought we could go home early but I was wrong, we need to stay until later in the afternoon because we are waiting for her Urine and Platelet result. Even though she had fever she was still so active and talking.

Today was a bit better because her fever went down already, thank GOD!

Went To Party Last Night

2012-01-21T07:55:00.001+08:00

Right after I sent Faith to her pediatrician for her fever, I dropped her and sister Merlyn to where they could ride a tricycle going home since I still need to fetch Mj at school. We went immediately to my friend's house since they want a ride in my car, and I learned that one my friends that has a car will go there at the party as well, so I just parked my car at their house and we used their car going to the party. It was a good idea then because I don't know the place and I was able to save a gas. LOL

Mj was not able to bring her barbie dolls as promised because I did not bring it that morning when we went to the doctor, I thought we could be home early but we weren't able to because we need to wait for her Urine and platelet result.

Geez I forgot to take pictures again grrr!

Summer Class!

2012-01-18T08:59:00.002+08:00

My youngest daughter just took an exam test at Precious but she was not able to do it, out of 50 she only got 38 so we need to enroll her for summer class at the same school. The in charge said maybe her school now taught her, which is not on their topic or on her test. The summer class will only take 2 weeks, it will be one on one so let's see if she can make it this time, if not we will have to look for another school.

PS3

2012-01-12T09:19:00.001+08:00

I enjoy blogging and there is nothing I enjoy more than to blog about something I like to do. I enjoy playing games, singing and just spending time with my girls. I really like to watch the youngest when she tries the controls on some of the games because she is so funny. There are some games consoles out that have caught my eye; one of them is the ps3 new release. There are many games made for the PS3 console and some of them look like they would be fun for the girls and me. We can have lots of fun, laughing at each other as we play the games.

Disappointed

2012-01-10T08:33:00.001+08:00

There are moments that even though you avoid not to get disappointed and not to be affected with all the things that are going around you but you can't avoid the fact that somehow you will get hurt and that you feel like the world just stumble down on you. Whatever this person is telling you that everything will going to be okay, you can't believe it because of the things that happen before and it is still happening now.

I am obviously tired, I feel like I am just a failure person

Could It Be

2012-01-03T20:39:00.000+08:00

These past few months, my daughter always told me that she is growing taller than me. But I always said no, she will be taller than me maybe if she is already in high school. Tonight, when I asked her to take her medicine since she got fever a while ago, I notice that I should have to look up to her anymore. So for me to believe, we went together in front of the mirror, back to back and measure ourselves. And I realized she is an inch taller than me already and she is only 11 years, a grade 5 student. It's hard to believe but I am glad she is tall, obviously my frustrations.

Grabbing Candies

2012-01-02T15:18:00.002+08:00

Just before the New Year, since my sister and her kids will be going home, I decided to throw up the candies in the air for the kids. There were only 3 kids who were able to join because my other sister and her son promised to go to the house at 12:00 a.m., but I don't know what happen, they were not able to do it. Anyway, even though they were only 3, we still had so much fun because of my youngest. It took her a while to realize that they can only have those candies if they would grab it. So since she can't afford also to lose her turn to sing in the magic sing, she held the magic sing on the other hand while grabbing some candies. The result, she only picked a few but even so she said "Thank you, Mama".

My kids and their cousin

She's starting now to picked some candies

I was laughing so hard at her because of her reactions

Trying to count how many candies she got.

Thank You Mama, So Many Candies Mama!

2012-01-01T09:21:00.002+08:00

We were laughing so hard when Faith tried to catch some candies when I threw it up in the air for the kids. She held the magic sing on the other hand and the other hand tried to picked some candies. When she had her candies on her hand, she told me "Thank you Mama, so many candies mama, thank you Mama". My niece and I burst out laughing and were impressed of Faith because even she only picked a few she never forgot to say thank you. Right after she danced and sing in the living room, she went to bed and asked her Ate Mj to lie down with her on the bed, I saw them together and Faith starting to get some sleep. Mj went out in the bedroom after Faith closes her eyes and we faced the 2012 together, geez, I so love this family, so simple, quiet but full of love.

Curly Hair On Christmas Party

2011-12-30T08:42:00.003+08:00

Mj and I agreed to have her hair curl on the Christmas Party at school but I was too busy preparing her stuff. I cooked fried chicken to bring it to her school, good thing my niece went here and she was the one who curled Mj's hair. She loves it so much, she really looks like a grown up woman on her hair plus she is growing tall each day.

Faith Has Fever

2011-12-28T10:27:00.003+08:00

Last night Faith asked me for water after she drank water, she threw up. She said that her tummy is hurt, we put some efficascent oil on her tummy and she went back to bed. Early this morning when I touch her forehead she had a slight fever, when I checked her medicines, we ran out of paracetamol. I have to call my sister to send me some paracetamol for Faith. After she took her medicine she is starting to get sweat but she had an LBM so today I will have to send her to her Pediatrician. This would be a busy day for me because I have to drop by first my car to the repair shop because the horn does not function again, after we would take Faith to her pediatrician, I have to send Mj to Kumon and while she is there, I will have to send Faith back home so she can rest.

Yoga

2011-12-28T09:31:00.001+08:00

I was out playing volleyball yesterday and the first thing I noticed was that I really need to be in better shape. I do get exercise running one daughter to her swimming practices and chasing the other one around to get her out of trouble but it’s not what I need. One type of exercise I have looked into is yoga. It looks like it could help me. Of course I would need to get a mat for yoga and possible a zafu type pillow for the exercises, but I know that I can do it. It would put a lot less strain on me and increase my flexibility as well as my overall health and can help me to lose weight.

Nearly Cried

2011-12-14T22:24:00.002+08:00

I have my car repaired today, and since I am hoping I could get it just before I would fetch Mj from Kumon. I waited for it in the shop to finish, but little did I know the time just clicking so fast I didn't even notice that I am getting late for my schedule to fetch Mj. When I checked the time, it was nearly 7:00 p.m., I hurriedly went to Kumon, when I arrived there, there are no kids waiting for their parents anymore, there are even no cars parked in the parking area. And when I checked my phone, Mj already messaged me that she was the only one who was left alone at the Kumon, I hurriedly went upstairs. I was worried too. I found her inside the tutor room with some teachers who were having a dance practice, when she saw me, she nearly cried, she thought I would not return for her.

Daydreaming For My Goal

2011-12-14T22:06:00.001+08:00

Whenever I would look for a hotel for my friends who would like to stay here in our place, I always check the bathroom if they have a bathtub. Mostly with bathtub, the room rates are apparently high, which is not necessary for some. But if I would be asked I really like for hotels to have bath tub sometimes I thought of installing one if I would put up my own house in the future it is either the regular bath tubs or the claw foot tubs, it depends though of the space it could occupy for my home sweet home soon. Oh wait I have to save money for me to buy a house and lot yet, for now all I can do is to daydream but who knows I could reach out that dream sooner than we expected.

Happy Birthday Arisa!

2011-12-14T07:50:00.003+08:00

Last night, we got home late because we celebrated my friend's daughter birthday. After the training the kids gather immediately in the table and greet Arisa for her birthday. While the kids had a blast with their spaghetti, the moms were also busy chitchatting and sharing some jokes thus we barely notice the time. Anyway, I want to greet again Arisa a Happy Birthday! Enjoy life, enjoy the training and wish you had many and many more angry birds, aw birthdays to come. LOL!

Shopping Spree This Holiday Season

2011-12-14T07:25:00.001+08:00

Many shoppers are looking for hot deals in the mall or even over the Internet, I've seen my friends or heard them that they got huge discounts in a certain shopping mall or in a certain shopping website. They were so happy and proud that they were able to grab least prizes from clothes, purses, or even coolant pump for their husband and some car accessories. Oh well who doesn't want take the opportunity while they offer also free shipping; geez life is sometimes so light and beautiful. What about you, do you have your shopping spree to share?

Absent For Thursday Training

2011-12-11T11:48:00.001+08:00

Every Tuesday and Thursday, I am the one who would prepare Mj's stuff for her training since she's at school the whole day, I am fetching her up from there and in the car usually she will just wear her swim suit there. I don't know how she does it but every time we arrive at the swimming venue she's done all her stuff. She would wear her swimsuit and the shirt and shorts that I brought for her. I could remember her telling me that she does not to be naked when she has to change, she would cover herself with her uniform and such, I don't know, maybe she is just too quick so everyone would not notice her changing clothes inside the car, while I am driving.

Anyway, on Thursday I knew I already have all the things on her bag but when she checked for it in the car on our way to the venue. She told me that I didn't bring any swimsuit for her. Darn! I am so jerk to forgot the most important thing for her training. So since I could not go back anymore because if we would, I am sure we would already be late for the training, we just decided to look for the materials needed for her project. I messaged her coach that we could not come because I simply forgot her swimwear, geez. Silly me!

Don't Hurt Mama!

2011-12-09T16:56:00.001+08:00

My youngest daughter is known to be so hyper so we always told her and reprimanded her to behave, to be still or to at least just sit down in the couch for like an hour. We were watching TV this afternoon when she gets too naughty again, my sister showed her that small belt but hit me unintentionally. So my sister and I made a drama, she would act like she would spank me with that belt and my youngest daughter took it seriously. She cried and went near us and said no don't hurt Mama! She stopped her Auntie to do the spanking again and tried to shield me. LOL, I was really surprised because she would really do her best just to protect me. So sister Merlyn said, you behave so I will not spank Mama, don't jump from the couch or be too kulit. She went to me and lie down beside me on the couch, so we were able to enjoy the movie that we watched in the TV.

Videos For Mindanao Championship Swimming Competition

2011-12-07T18:27:00.001+08:00

Last Month, my eldest daughter joined a swimming competition in Marbel and she got as the MVP of the year by the said event as she won 3 golds and 2 silvers. Here's the videos for her competition:

She won the first place on her butterfly stroke

First place on her backstroke as well

Second place on breast stroke

First on freestyle, her best stroke

Studying On Her Own

2011-12-06T08:13:00.001+08:00

I'd been assisting my eldest daughter for her study since then and now that she is already in Grade V, I realized she should be studying on her own. So I applied that on the other month periodical test, I just checked her notes or her mock quizzes that she did if she really answer those. Until now, it is still effective, at least now she will depend no one but herself. Anyway, she is focused with her Civics, Science, and English subject, she found those subjects very difficult and if she would slipped it for an instance one day of not reviewing her notes, the next day she would surely be lost out of track. By next year, I'll be starting to assist my youngest daughter with her study; definitely I am back to where I started.

Love Can Wait

2011-12-06T07:50:00.001+08:00

When I first receive a ring from someone, I didn't know that steel rings exist until I wore one of them on my finger. It has a note at the back of it and the note is "Love Can Wait" I was hoping that we would end up together, I didn't know that he would say goodbye to me just after my eldest daughter's birthday. I didn't realize that the note was not intended for us but it is belong to someone I end up with, because until now I am still waiting for my husband to come over and be together. Love can wait, how long would I wait? I don't know yet I hope soon. The steel ring is no longer with me; it was replaced by an engagement ring and the wedding band. The last time I could remember was I gave it to my sister, I am not sure though if she still wears it.

Her Bedroom Is Now Cleaned

2011-12-04T22:29:00.001+08:00

Today, my kids and I decided to just stayed home. Mj and I helped each other to clean her room because even though, she does not sleep there, her room is really so messy. So I have to put the old books in a cabinet in the living room so it will not be expose. She arranged her old bags, old books and notebooks, she brooms the floor and now it looks already so clean and neat. We still have to fold her clothes again though; I just didn't have time yesterday so maybe today or tomorrow I will do it.

Seeking A Job

2011-12-04T13:22:00.001+08:00

Who does love to talk or expert in telecom jobs oh well, there's a lot of Networking & Telecomm Jobs abroad. You just have to try to apply for it and you know who knows you might as well accepted with their vacant jobs. With today's crisis everyone must seek for a job before its too late, before your expenses will drown you or before any health inconvenience will happen to your family. I know it is hard to find a job nowadays plus the heat of the sun seems like trying to test your patience but once you get the job, you will be smiling all along, you will have nothing to worry if someone got sick and you need money to buy them medicines, you see it is just a matter of hard work, patience and determination and soon you will get the job that you wanted and maybe successful with that career. Don't forget me when you are successful with the field that you’re choosing okay?

2 Events in the Same Day

2011-12-02T21:44:00.001+08:00

Last Tuesday morning, we woke up so early to attend my little love bug's Foundation Day at school. And this time, she participated with the dance. Of course I am just so proud of her little accomplishments, even though she just danced one stepping the whole time during their part yet my smiles are so wide. I will have to post the video of her dance on the coming days.

Later that afternoon, we were also invited to a birthday party that we have to spend overnight there because our keys were not with me, it was with sister Merlyn's and she was already home. We slept overnight at my other sister's house, oh well; the party was so much fun that we could not even notice what time it was. We slept past 4 a.m. already.

Will Never Be Lost This Time

2011-12-02T21:27:00.001+08:00

I am not good in location, even if I already have visited the place the first time, do not expect that I will not be lost if I will go to that place the second time. That is why, until now I still didn't go to the car aircon specialist that my repair man has been telling me about, I already have gone to that shop with my repair man before but right now, I could not figure out where is that place and I needed to have the car aircon fixed because it is really getting so hot when I drive. I think I may needed a garmin nuvi 255w, it is a kind of GPS that leads the way with voice prompted, telling you which way to turn and would give you the right direction. I am sure I will never be lost this time, what do you think?

I Will Really Have To Try

2011-11-27T07:58:00.001+08:00

I will really have to try driving on Sunday with my two kids alone, a while ago I thought not to drive and we will just go to the church through tricycle but on the second thought how would I be comfortable driving with my two kids if I will not get used to it. Besides, I could save money from taxi or commuting ourselves in a Jeepney. I just hope that Faith will not be bothering me when I drive, I will have to ask Mj to bring her Nintendo or Faith's laptop so she has something she could get busy with while I am concentrating on my driving.

Singing Career

2011-11-25T11:40:00.001+08:00

\My husband keeps on telling me that Faith is so cute when she sings but he would admit that Faith doesn't have a good voice because they have mostly the same voice. LOL!

On that note, I will have to show you the latest video of my little girl singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. My niece and I were trying so hard to capture the best moment of her singing career. Hahaha!

And the second video is her wee wa wa song, if ever you would asked me oh well I just don't know you better ask her, what is it all about.

5 Years Old Little Girl Calling 911

2011-11-23T08:57:00.001+08:00

While cooking breakfast this morning, I open my computer in the bedroom and started to browse of course, what else the FB is there anything we could easily browse? I mean I guess it is already a routine for most of us; everyone is hooked up with this network site. Anyway, as I browse, I saw this link of a 5 years old girl who called 911 for her father. Her father could not breath and is having chest pain and the moment her father called 911 he can't hardly breath at all so her daughter takes over and asked the 911 to come over real fast. She was so sweet and so much full of concerned, you might want to take a look for the video, here's the link.

Hiding My Emotions

2011-11-21T22:17:00.001+08:00

Every morning I always wait for the Kris TV to be aired at 9:30 a.m. I just love all the topics she got there, and this morning they were talking about single moms and such. I wasn't able to follow their conversation but I could hear what they were talking about.

When I was still a single mom with my eldest daughter. I always taught her to be firm and strong and be independent. When I have problems and I wanted to cry out loud, I would hide it from her because I know it will double her the pain and that proved one day, when I can't help but to cry and she saw it. She hugs me tight, she doesn't say any words but I know she cried. I even saw her cried alone; I know she was hurting with seeing me crying. From then on, I was being very careful with my emotions, with my feelings and with my day-to-day struggles. She doesn't deserve to feel all the pain that I had, she is young and vibrant so she deserves to have a happy life.

During Christmas Season

2011-11-21T21:07:00.001+08:00

My husband has this hat for years now, I wonder if he likes a new one because if he loves to have a nice fox hat, I will probably give that to him as my Christmas gift or maybe he could choose one of the best items in fox racing apparel. Oh well, how I wish we can be together this Christmas, that's always my dream every year, every time the Christmas season is approaching. I know God will answer my wishes in the future or maybe soon, I just have to be patient and be optimistic about it.

He got many plans and I am holding to his promise because if I won't, I already might have given up. I am not a perfect wife and he is not a perfect husband either I guess no one is perfect in this world but there's one thing we ought to have and that is our great love to each other.

There are times I wonder if we are really meant for each other, I even told him about that. His love to me is just too strong so he said that if we weren’t maybe we didn’t have our beloved little teapot, our very own Faith. God gave us Faith so even we are miles apart; we will hold that faith because of her.

I admit every Christmas I always longed for him; I always want to give my Christmas presents to him personally and not only in mails and such. I always want to buy and surprise him things online I want to see his reaction upon receiving it. But it didn’t realize last Christmas and the other year; I wonder when could we be together as a family not only for special occasion but everyday.

My kids are always missing him during occasion. It was only on our wedding since we have him and after that all the special occasions are empty because we don’t have him. My eldest daughter always asks of him to be here but it seems like it is hard this time. Actually, it is really getting hard; it is only because of my children, why I am standing still. It is because of my kids that I still have my Merry Christmas. But even if my husband will not going to make it again this year, we are still giving him some gifts to at least he can feel the spirit of Christmas and that to let him know that we cared and love him very much.

MVP

2011-11-21T21:00:00.000+08:00

Mj finally receives an award as the MVP in the 2011 Mindanao Open Swim Championship-Inter School Age Group Competition.

Butterfly - Gold

Backstroke - Gold

Brea stroke - Silver

Freestyle - Gold

Relay (Freestyle)- Silver

And one gold for being the MVP!

Of course she will not achieved this goal without the help of her coach. Hats off to coach Egay for the training he bestowed to our kids. Even though there are times that the kids had complains and excuses during practice yet their coach knew so well how to handle and when to be firm in regards with their training. Thank you coach Egay!

For The Team

2011-11-20T19:18:00.001+08:00

Christmas is very much approaching; now I am looking for some accessories to be given away to the kids in the team. I am sure they like something that is customized, I thought of a custom lapel pins for them but let's see if how much does it cost. I hope it is not that expensive since I still have nephews and nieces to think of for this coming holiday season.

During Special Occasion

2011-11-20T18:43:00.001+08:00

When I was still working as a front desk officer in one of the malls here, of course we need to be presentable and one of the things that the management required us to wear is a stocking. So every week I keep on looking for a durable stocking, something that won't just runs that easy. Now that I am not working anymore yet I still don't stopped myself on venturing some sexy stocking or even lace bodystocking, maybe that would be great to wear during special occasion, what do you think?

Stress Reliever

2011-11-11T22:01:00.001+08:00

These are the little princesses at school's costume party last month. Aren't they so lovely and cute? Oh well, no doubt about that. You must look at those smiles and those cute outfits. Surely, they are always our stress reliever. One hug and kiss from them, all our tiredness will be gone.

It Would Be Best

2011-11-09T21:41:00.002+08:00

One night when we are about to go to bed, Faith suddenly told my niece that there's a ghost hiding, Mariel asked her where? She said in the window, Faith also told her that it has been also hiding in the kitchen. I am not sure if she was just making drama since she is expert to do so but I just told her that ghosts are not real and that they will just go away because I am around and we are all brave. Later, Faith stops teasing us, finally she already went to her dreamland. Mariel still keeps on wondering if that was true, yet whatever it is, I made it a point that we will not entertain those things. They are just around I know and I hope they would be guarding us but ignoring them would be best.

Birthday

2011-11-08T21:53:00.001+08:00

When Faith went home this morning from school, my sister said that it is the birthday of Faith's teacher tomorrow. Everyone in the school is contributing to buy her some gifts and since I was not there, I was not able to contribute. So I just bought her teach a heart shape chocolate cake, I guess they will have a celebration at school again tomorrow. Faith would be very happy again to eat her favorite pasta, and obviously that's spaghetti. But she loves ice cream more than a cake or spaghetti, yet I hope they don't have ice cream at school since she just ate a lot of ice cream on Sunday.

Medals

2011-11-07T06:47:00.003+08:00

These are the medals of my daughter in Langoy Pilipinas 2011, there were 4 silver and 1 gold. Before the competition, we had a deal that if she could get a gold, I would buy her a new pair of sandals since her sandals are already too tight for her. And since she got one gold, that is equivalent for a pair of sandal to be wear during Sundays.

Preparing

2011-11-04T07:17:00.001+08:00

My eldest daughter has another competition again on Saturday and the team is preparing for the event. As usual it would look like a picnic for us because we will be bringing some foods and desert and fruits and a lot more. The team is already prepared for the competition, the kids were so proud that they were able to finish like 10,000 programs and their coach was so happy about it. But although the kids were already well trained, they are expecting less for the competition, they just had competition like a week ago and here's another competition. They maybe could not break their time but who knows right? As long as they are doing their best that's good enough for us to celebrate.

So Proud Of Her Crown

2011-11-03T22:20:00.000+08:00

It was the last week of the school when Faith was so excited to go to school, my sister has been telling her that their will be a celebration at school, one of her classmates would celebrate his birthday there. And knowing Faith, when there is a birthday party at school she would always feeling happy because she's able to eat her favorite spaghetti. She just wore her uniform though because they will be having class after, but after a while my sister called me that all the kids were wearing costumes. She asked me if Faith has a mini gown because she keeps on looking at her classmates who wear varieties of costumes, my sister got pity of Faith so she hurriedly called me after. She had a gown that my sister gave her, which was a bit loose for her yet, but we didn't have any choice so I sent it to school. I also called my other sister if she could contribute something, good thing she had a crown so she immediately went to school to let Faith wear it. When they got home, she looks so cute with her gown and she is so proud of her crown. She told me she's a princess and she love to wear it forever.

Just Arrived From Cemetery

2011-11-01T22:36:00.001+08:00

As I thought it would rain later in the afternoon, I decided to postpone the visit to my Dad at the memorial park. But my sister went to our house and said we should go out today and not tomorrow, she said it will not rain for sure and if it will, most probably we are already home. So after we watched the Traveler's Wife in HBO, we prepared immediately to visit my DAD. We arrived there past 6:00 p.m., we whispered a little prayer to my Dad we also dropped at my Aunt's place since they are just in the same place. The kids were gathered, they would play at times but mostly they were told to be quiet and behave. We left the place since I am worried if it would rain, we didn't have a tent to stay us from being wet. We ate at McDonalds after, with an agreement that we won't be taking a cab. I noticed that it is not much crowded in the memorials today compared last year. Even at the cemetery that we expect to be crowded was not that tight at all, maybe people learned enough from the past by visiting their love one's in advance. No traffic and we were able to get home right away. Thank GOD that it didn't rain.

DCAA Swimming Event Videos

2011-10-30T10:23:00.001+08:00

We were shouting and screaming when Mj suddenly swam fast on the last lapse. To my excitement, I wasn't able to capture the last lapse because I couldn't help jumping and cheering. Here's the video of her 200 meters individual medley during their DCAA competition.

Here's the video of her 100M Backstroke:

And the 100 M Freestyle

She got the 7th ranked overall for elementary girls and she's one of the participants of the upcoming DAVRAA next year. Way to go Mj, no matter what we are always proud of you!

By Cutting It

2011-10-30T10:10:00.000+08:00

When I was in college, even though I already had my eyelashes fine, it was not that long or short either yet I get too envious with some students who had their eyelashes so impressively long. So I went ahead and decided to cut my eyelashes because they said if you are going to cut your eyelashes, it will grow more but to my disappointment it didn't worked for me. Why? Because it would only works for babies, good thing the cut was not that long, so it was not noticeable. Recently, I just read somewhere that the hair of the eyelashes if it will get inside the eyes of the baby, it would irritate him or her and he or she could get infections because of it. So when you cut the eyelashes to make it long, you should be extra careful or to be safe, don't do it at all, besides there are eyelash growth products available anywhere so when they are matured enough, you can buy some for them. My nieces and kids are gifted because we don't have to cut their eyelashes short to become long, because their eyelashes are already fine. There are some people who suggested cutting it but I refused because I don't want to risk their health for any infections they could get by some merely sayings.

DCAA Meet: Congrats Mj!

2011-10-28T08:47:00.000+08:00

I just want to congratulate again my daughter Mj for doing a good job in swimming, she won the second place in 200 m IM and second in 100M backstroke and got the third place 100m freestyle on DCAA meet that was held yesterday. She had a close swim with her team mate in 200m individual medley and suddenly she swim passed by her on the last lapse, everyone screamed and shouted, and we got too excited with that event. I can't help to jump and cheers for my daughter, I am just so proud of her. This is her first competition in DCAA or Davao City Athletic Association, and for me even though she's still have more to improve with her speed, she just done a very good job. Cheers for you Mj and keep it up!

Enjoying The Show

2011-10-26T21:09:00.002+08:00

It was so hot and Faith was dripping sweat all over when we arrived at the Crocodile Park, we roam around the area and she had so much fun looking at some animals especially when the show began, it was a show of varieties of animals yet even it was dreading so hot, my youngest daughter was very attentive with what the host was saying. She ignored the heat of the sun and the sweat; she was so amazed with the show. She finished it until at the very end.

Road Assistance

2011-10-26T07:50:00.000+08:00

There were lots of times that I was stranded along the road because my just stopped or some parts got smoked and broken. The latest was yesterday, the aircon just blew a smoke. I was panicked, good thing there were some people nearby and helped me disconnect the battery so the smoke or the burn won't scattered to other parts of the car. In situation like this, when your car just don't function, we really need an effective emergency road service, an assistant that would be there ready to help you in just one call and that you don't need to wait for long hours to have someone to rescue you. Or fetch a repair man just to make your car worked like I did yesterday; it was too hassle and time consuming. I was not able to go to my other appointment just to take care everything about my car. I guess I need to dispatch this car at all and will find a new one, what do you think?

School Break Soon

2011-10-26T07:29:00.003+08:00

My kids will be having their school break soon; my youngest just finished her exam last week. And I am sure she just done a good job because the moment the teacher gave her a pencil, she took it immediately and started to answer the test papers unlike the previous exam. My youngest is so busy reviewing her notes, their exam just started yesterday, and today was their last day of their exam, yet after that she still could not rest because she would too busy with her training since their competition will be the day after the exam. Even though were a bit hectic this week, I still could feel our break from school stuff and will relax until the 5th day of next month. Happy Halloween guys!

In Managing Your Finances

2011-10-24T00:34:00.004+08:00

In a tight job market, managing your finances, to ensure you are prepared in case of unforeseen circumstances is one of the most important things you need to consider. Are you prepared in the event of job loss or unforeseen medical, or other expenses? How about retirement? Have you thought about what you are going to do when you decide to retire and have you started to prepare for it?

Well I know that stocks and bonds are volatile at times, and for some of us, our day to day needs tend to place demands on our finances and without a plan, we are unable to set money aside to meet those unforeseen expenses or for retirement.

These are reasons for you to manage your finances. I do our best with ours, and try each month to set some money aside for retirement. There are times when I have had to draw on parts of that money to meet the unexpected, but if I did not plan ahead, I would have been hard pressed to meet these needs.

Managing your finances has never been more important. Saving for the education of our daughters and for our retirement is all part of financial management. Having a good plan and good advice will help you meet your goals and future needs.

Mj's Training and Faith's Fieldtrip

2011-10-23T08:38:00.001+08:00

Just few days ago, I was so worried of who would accompany my eldest daughter for her training yesterday. They will going to have a training in the training venue, then after they would go to DMMA for their training again for the DCAA meet, they will go back to Woodridge after lunch. I could not be there for her because her youngest sister will be having a field trip so I should go with her. Good thing my niece has been sleeping over here for days now, I asked her if she could go with Mj and she agreed. So while Faith and I had bonding on their field trip, Mj is safe with her Ate Mariel, anyway, I would like to cheer them on their meet next week, I hope the team will get a place on their event.

Bad Credit Loans

2011-10-23T08:27:00.003+08:00

Having a bad credit story can really be a problem, especially if you need to borrow money. Most lenders are very reluctant to take a risk on people with bad/low credit scores. In this economic climate it is hard for people with poor credit to get the money they may need for an emergency. There are places that offer bad credit personal loans.

These are lenders who are willing to take a chance on people, who through no fault of their own, have bad credit cause by loss of job or an accident or injury that may have gotten them into their financial situation. Taking out a bad credit loans can actually help you improve your overall credit rating, if payments are made on time.

I really don’t like to take out loans, but there are times when it is almost a must. Having the ability to get money when you are in need can really relieve you of a lot of stress. Loans can be a way to help pay unexpected expenses, no matter why you need it. The ability to pay the loan back over time gives you the peace of mind knowing that you don’t have to empty your accounts to make a lump sum payment.

Safety Gear

2011-10-21T22:04:00.002+08:00

My husband has a lot of friends who ride motorcycles, both to work and for pleasure. Since law in the state where he lives requires helmets, they all of course, have to wear one. I believe safety gear should be of paramount importance when riding. The roads on the way to work are always full of cars and it behooves motorcycle riders to be conscientious of their surroundings. Motorcycle safety gear, such as Arai Motorcycle Helmets, can be stylish yet provide protecting your head. Proper shoes/boots, shirts/jacket and pants are important. Be safe when you ride and don’t take chances. You share the road with much larger vehicles and they are not always able to see you.

First Time To Ride Alone

2011-10-16T22:17:00.002+08:00

Faith wanted to have a ride, so since this was her day, I went to the booth where I could pay her and her sister to keep her company for that ride. But I was surprised because the in charge informed me that Mj could not get to ride anymore because she was so tall for that ride. I asked them about the safety of the ride, the girl said it is safe and that is really only intended for 3 years old up. Mj and I were excited at the same time were nervous for Faith. The in charge helped Faith to get to that ride, and he secure the seat belt for her. I could see Faith was so happy and extremely excited for her first ride alone. Whenever she would pass by us, she would tell me she's scared but guess what? She was all smiling or she would asked me what's that noise or something when the ride gets down a bit and would create noise. The ride ended with Faith wears her smiles up to her ears; I was so happy that she enjoyed it a lot.

Ipod dock

2011-10-16T12:01:00.002+08:00

IPODs have been around for a few years now and there are a lot of accessories that go with them. An ipod dock increases the utility of your IPOD and your enjoyment. Everywhere you go you see people with IPODs. They are a lot of docks you can choose from. I am thinking that one would be good for my eldest daughter and of course I am, she would like a dock to go with it. My eldest loves music and an IPOD would be good for her. It would be good for me too, because you know I will be using it when she is not. The only worry we have is the youngest who will want to handle it, she is a very curious girl.

Line Meet Yesterday

2011-10-16T08:47:00.003+08:00

It was the line meet of my daughter yesterday; I never thought it would start in the morning so we went there later than the usual. We were on our way there when our coach messaged me and asked us where we were; my daughter messaged them back that we were on our way to the pool. I drove fast, I just hit the 40 usually but yesterday I reached up to 80, my daughter reminded me of my speed, to just slow down. Anyway, we arrived safe.

Mj done a good job especially on their IM, I am just so proud of her achievements in swimming. Way to go MJ!

A Real Success Story

2011-10-15T19:53:00.001+08:00

When we see all those ‘infomercials” on TV, we have to wonder what they are all about and If they work. You can see everything from weight loss, cooking utensils and how to get rich schemes or formulas on your television. But what do we really know about these products unless we learn more about who is behind them and what they really do. Do they have a track record for success or are they just a gimmick to make somebody else money? You have to do your research.

I must admit that sometimes the pitches put forth on the infomercials really seem intriguing. But so far I have not been caught. I like to do my research before I invest in any of these “too good to be true” advertisements.

I would rather learn about somebody or something that I know is a real success story. Tim Ferriss is such a person. Mr. Ferriss’s book, “The Four Hour Work Week:: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich” a New York Times and USA Today best seller, basically saying that 20% of your benefits comes from 80% of your efforts. Of course this is very much a simplification of what the book is all about but that is it in a nut shell. If you want to know more about Tim Ferriss, his activities and projects, just do a little research like I did.

Can Watch The TV Today!

2011-10-15T00:52:00.002+08:00

My eldest daughter was so excited when she announced herself she is free to watch TV tonight after the training. I was laughing secretly, my no TV policy is really effective for these two girls. Thus, I just let her watch TV until 11:00 p.m., as she was watching TV, she also used the computer, she has this racing game online and I was also get excited whenever she has to move fast. Too bad, when you enjoy a lot, the time also runs fast so since she still have training tomorrow, she still have to sleep early even though there's no class the next day.

Tricking On Me

2011-10-13T09:08:00.003+08:00

I really hate when Mj does some tricking on me. It has been days when I asked her to drink her vitamins but she would say yes and when I check the vitamin, it seems like it was not even touch. So I know for sure she did not take her Memory Plus. I know it doesn't taste good but this helps her not to forget what she reviewed as she keeps on forgetting those. So maybe tomorrow, I will be the one to get really the vitamins and would feed her one spoon.

When I Drive

2011-10-13T08:58:00.001+08:00

There are times that I went out in the house earlier than of my schedule to fetch my eldest daughter. And it is dreadfully so hot, even the glass in front of me was tinted; yet the sun would get through to my face. My eyes would get red and I tell you it is indeed so painful. My sister suggested I should be wearing sunglasses, and I think replica sunglasses will just be perfect for me. Not to mention, those sunglasses were just so cool to wear, so I can't wait, in a day or two. I will have to make a canvass and will definitely buy one. I hope it is not that expensive though, otherwise I will just wear a cap minus the sunglasses.

Field Trip Soon

2011-10-12T21:57:00.000+08:00

My youngest daughter will be having a field trip this month; I am so excited about it. I think I will be the only one who could accompany her. Mj will be having her training and she could not absent from it because the next day will be her competition for DCAA. I will just ask my sister to accompany my eldest to the pool so I can be with my youngest daughter. The venue would be the crocodile farm, I am not sure if there's other venue we all be going. This will be her first field trip and I am certain she would like it. She likes animals, and in Dora there's a crocodile she keeps on mentioning, I wonder how would she react when she sees a real crocodile.

Quick Post

2011-10-11T22:29:00.004+08:00

I am just so sleepy so I guess this will be just a quick post. Goodnight!

Appendicitis

2011-10-09T07:35:00.003+08:00

We really thought that my eldest suffered from appendicitis and thank GOD, after two days of staying in the hospital, the final findings are not the one I feared about but a UTI, although it still needs to be treated though of course.

Appendicitis is a condition characterized an inflammation of your appendix, so it requires removing the inflammation, which means the patient needs to undergo an operation and most of the time it should be done immediately. The pain is always on the right lower side of the stomach, which was my eldest was experiencing; she keeps on pressing it hard so she could walk. Do not allow the patient to pressed it hard because if that would blow inside your tummy, the nearest organ would be infected as well. It will give more danger to the one who suffered the appendicitis. It was a good thing that my eldest was free from it, now we are monitoring her intakes, no junk foods nor soft drinks for her. In which I think she follow and obey appropriately this time, her teacher gave her a soft drink when they celebrated Teacher's Day at school and she said "No" she also told her she is not allowed to drink soda because she already experienced a UTI.

No Computer At Night

2011-10-07T11:03:00.003+08:00

My youngest daughter has been hooked up in the computer, although she's not playing online games and that she only went to cartoon videos, or ABC or an educational game, I still ceased from exposing too much in the computer. The other night, I gave her task and that is to study her lesson, of course with my assistance. I noticed she is not concentrating on it unlike when she does clicking in the computer. So from then on, no computer for her at night, maybe I would only let her spend in the computer for like a couple of hours then after that she would rest and so she can focus on her study at night. This must to do it and I have to sacrifice my blogging stuff at night, besides I am blogging because of them, because I want to earn so I could buy them things or treat them outside. To sacrifice from it because of them is not hard to do, we have to prioritize our family first than of anything else.

Excited

2011-10-06T09:55:00.002+08:00

You may wonder where I was these past few days, oh well, just got too busy with the requirements of my daughter for DCAA. Finally, I was able to get face to face and talk to the chairman of our unit, he seemed so nice, and he helped our teammates to be a member of his unit. Now the chance of our kids to be joining in DCAA will be realized soon. I can't wait to see my daughter again swimming hard and having fun for the competition. We are so excited!

Tan Towel

2011-10-06T08:50:00.001+08:00

I don’t need to tan and I don’t really sunburn very easily, but my husband has light skin and sunburns very easily. What he needs to do is expose himself to the sun only or try some other method to tan his skin. Perhaps a tan towel would work for him. He really does not like to be in the sun for long periods of time, but there are times when me and the kids will force him to, we love the beach and the sun, so he really needs to have a good tan so that he will not easily get a sunburn.

She Had So Much Fun

2011-10-02T19:15:00.002+08:00

We just arrived from a four hour travel, the kids had training again at the 50 meters pool. The long hour travel was so much fun, and while we were away, my youngest daughter was also busy at home since she had a party to attend to yesterday. She also had so much fun, she never even asked for us or looked for us, she was too much occupied, we called her last night and asked her if how was the party, her only answer was "I want to eat my lollipop". LOL

Rules for a Happy Marriage

2011-09-28T20:43:00.001+08:00

I really think I need this:

Rules for a Happy Marriage

Never both angry at the same time.

Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.

If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate.

If you have to criticize, do it lovingly.

Never bring up mistakes of the past.

Neglect the whole world rather than each other.

Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.

At least once every day try to say one kind or complimentary thing.

When you have done something wrong, be ready to admit it.

It takes two to make a quarrel and the one in the wrong is the one who does the most talking.

Thought To Work

2011-09-27T21:34:00.002+08:00

There are times that I thought of sending my application to one of the call centers here. I really missed working and I really missed taking calls from various states. I feel like I am becoming so boring and dull by not being productive, I always depending on my husband's income, I sometimes thought I need also to contribute for our expenses. My day-to-day expenses is getting huge, I could not believe how much thousands would I spend for the whole month. I am just thankful that my husband did not complain at all, but even though I am not wasting his money out of nothing, I still can't help to be guilty. I really feel like I am being useless. Although my husband keeps on telling me that I am not because I am the one who's taking good care of my kids. How I wish, when the kids already grows up, there are still companies that would accept me and would eventually hire me.

Congratulations Davao Sea Lions Swim Club!

2011-09-25T13:05:00.002+08:00

Our team made it again yesterday, these kids really rocks!

I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the nephew of my friend DJ for being the MVP of the year for his age. Congratulations again DJ!

Admitted

2011-09-24T21:15:00.002+08:00

Right after like how many minutes of swimming, Mj was again complaining of her tummy, the pain was on the lower right part of her stomach, I was panicked when I learned about it. Good thing a friend of mine offered to drive us to the hospital since I think I can't drive anymore. They already called their friend who is a doctor and who could assist us about the condition of my daughter but then he recommended us for admission since the symptoms was really like of that appendicitis. We went to another hospital then since Mj's pediatrician is there; they have the same conclusion with the other doctor, so I decided for her to be admitted. She undergone CBC and urine test again and ultrasound and they told me if the result will be positive they have to operate her immediately. I was devastated; I didn't know what to do.

Good thing that Mj's stomach pain subsided after like an hour of staying at the ER yet they still have to observe her condition, so an admission was really a must. Friday morning, they have her for urine test and ultrasound; it was only in the afternoon that they informed us about the result, I am so glad that the entire test was negative. But we can't still go out in the hospital because her tummy was still in pain when the Doctor pressed her tummy as he released it.T

This morning, my worries were gone when Mj said it doesn't hurt her anymore when she pressed her tummy, and it was confirmed by her Doctor. We were checked out after lunch, so although Mj was not able to make it to her competition this time, what matters most is that she already recovered from her infection and that she is already okay.

Wedding Bands

2011-09-24T20:52:00.001+08:00

Wedding days are special to all of us girls. We want to look our best for your husbands to be and we want it to be a day to remember. Well one thing that is special we take away from our wedding and keep the rest of our lives is our wedding bands. I love mine, it is something that I wear always. An artcarved wedding bands are very attractive in appearance and when people ask me about my wedding band, I tell them, it is very special. I remember my wedding day and my wedding band is a constant reminder of how perfect it was.

Car Wash

2011-09-21T10:44:00.002+08:00

Early this morning, as I was cooking our dinner, I saw our car from our window. It was soaking wet from the heavy rain last night. It was not that hot so I took the car shampoo wax out that I just bought last week. I thought it was not that tiring, I was enjoying it at first but later when I was almost finish, sigh, it was draining, and I was sweating a lot yet I just can't stop. I have to finish it, no wonder some car owners preferred to have their car wash by somebody else because it is not that easy. It was not easy maybe because the sun shines so high already and our car is not in a shaded area. I still can't park it in our garage because I am worried I would hit it again in the wall or in a post, so I just leave it outside our gate. I finished washing our car past 8:00 a.m., and my husband has been waiting for me online. I supposed to go out early but darn I really need to rest before going out in the street.

While We're Busy

2011-09-21T00:08:00.001+08:00

While Mj is doing some review for her lessons and I was assisting her, Faith was also busy with her games in the computer; it is educational so I don't have to worry about it. She is allowed to use the computer once in a day. We can hear her laughing so hard; Mj and I can't help to smile too. Sometimes she would go out in the living room to ask for our assistance, and I would instruct her what to do, later she would already know how to operate the game. And when Mj is already finished with her studies, I would ask her to close her browser and she would go to bed and sleep.

1:27

2011-09-18T22:56:00.000+08:00

I am just so happy with Mj's improvements in swimming, for 100 meters free style she was able to make it to 1 mins and 27 seconds from 1 mins to 40 secs last week. Their next competition would be on Sept. 24, it would be on Saturday, and I am getting nervous about it yet she's taking it calmly unlike the previous competition. I hope she would win again and if she does I guess I have to buy her a pet as her reward from us.

Our Anniversary is Coming Up Soon

2011-09-16T08:25:00.000+08:00

Our wedding anniversary is fast approaching and it is sad to say that my husband can't make it to be here again, sigh! I missed my husband so much it has been already 2 years since he was with us. But I can't do anything with it yet I am still waiting for him to come. GOD is always good, he would provide for us, I admit I sometimes get too impatient but it will never help us to make this marriage works. So I am taking things with positive attitude, as I always said I won't get stress anymore, especially on our anniversary because no one can hinder me to celebrate it on Monday. I will be with the parents at the swim club and maybe we will go to have a buffet lunch somewhere. I know for sure, even how simple it would be, I would be very happy to celebrate it with friends. Happy Anniversary to my honey and me.

It will realized today

2011-09-14T09:11:00.001+08:00

The plan that I had since last month will be realized today, I had been talking about paying the interment of my Dad for weeks now and I think the money that I had been waiting to arrive is already at the bank. So today, we are going to pay for it so my Dad will be transfer since the lot that he was supposed to be at peace was already has been demolished. They had put his remains in a box and were just place together with other remains in a big cross as they called it.

Good thing, I withdraw the funds last week because the fees for interment will increase next week. So I must do it now otherwise we will have to pay about P13, 000 instead of P11, 000. The memorial park that he would transfer to is nice, I am sure he will be happy to be there not to mention that they are neighbors with my aunt and uncle. Next project would be my Mom I hope I can come up with the amount that they will require so we could transfer my Mom from Surigao to here in Davao. God Bless Us!

We Shall Overcome

2011-09-12T08:25:00.003+08:00

What I like about Indian film is that they always have very remarkable songs, which I keep on humming later. Not only me though but my daughter as well. Recently, we watched an Indian film again entitled "My Name is Khan" I already had been telling this to all my friends in FB and I hope they would watch it because it is really a very inspiring movie.

Anyway, here's the theme song of the movie:

Another Competition

2011-09-11T06:59:00.001+08:00

She already competed for the Milo and recently was the Kadayawan and now she is preparing for the Cherifer Inter-School Competition. The said competition will be this month, and the thing is that instead of 50 meters their event would be 100 meters. They were again on a rigid training, and she was sad because she was not able to join the training yesterday afternoon, after the morning training, we have to packed our things up for her Math session in Kumon. And besides that, I had a practiced for driving and when we fetch her up, it was already 4:30 p.m., and I thought she was already late for her training in the afternoon, so we just decided to go back home.

Girl's Talk : Pink

2011-09-09T13:55:00.000+08:00

I used to love pink but as the years passed by the pink become blue although I still love seeing some women wearing pink or even men. They looked so neat and clean. Before I met my husband, I told myself that on my wedding I wanted to have a pink motif, but it was not realized because my husband doesn't like pink, he said blue is better. Last two years ago, I attended a wedding, which the motif was pink. It looks stunning although, I guess it looks livelier if they combined it with other color.

I Don't Understand

2011-09-08T11:20:00.002+08:00

I just don't understand it, they said the garbage should be segregated and we segregate it now, all the papers and the fruit's skin should be buried. But what if the yard were all cemented where could we bury the skin. And they said those will be taken cared of by our baranggay then the baranggay said they will not collect it. How I wish the Cenro had communicated the baranggay to tackle about this thing. That's why some people would just throw the garbage in the river because they just don't know which one to follow and the garbage is piling up.

Not Required For Acidic

2011-09-07T01:15:00.001+08:00

I just learned something today that if your baby is acidic, you should never change the milk or you should observe her upon changing it.

Last week, when I had them for vaccination at their pediatrician, a woman offered us milk; it is new in the market so they are like promoting. So we grabbed it, my little toddler doesn't like Nido, so her Nido was still there untouched, she was used to Gain but since she is already a toddler so we changed her to Nido. And as I though she would love the taste of Aquiva, we grabbed the free sample.

I was unaware that her tummy is already struggling for the new milk; she vomited 3x last Saturday night after three days of forcing her to drink. So we went to her Doctor for check up, her pediatrician gave us some meds and so I was relieved. On Tuesday, I tried to let her drink again the new milk, right after that she gets so weak until we went to school. She hugged me so tight and doesn't want me to leave the classroom, whenever I would say could I go out Faith? She would reply not yet Mama. After like a few minutes, she threw up all her milk she drank that morning. Now we are back for Gain.

KIDS # 18: Rides

2011-09-06T07:22:00.001+08:00

Whenever my little toddler sees some rides just like in the picture, she would insist me to take her there and so she can ride. But sometimes when we are on a tight budget, and that the money is intended for something else, I would say no.

Hyper Acidity

2011-09-03T22:44:00.000+08:00

Last night, I took a break from the computer and watched a movie with my kids, when suddenly Faith felt so uneasy. She asked me a glass of water but before I gave her a drink, she threw up. She vomited all the foods she took that day. I was panicked; I called my husband immediately and told him what happened. She vomits 3 times and the last one was only water since she keeps on asking for it.

I wanted to drag her to the hospital immediately, but Mj will be alone here at home if I would do that. I rubbed Faith's tummy with the Efficascent oil, she keeps on telling me her tummy hurts.

Early this morning, we prepared her for check up so even though she was still asleep, I carried her and immediately we went to the clinic, we dropped Mj off at the pool yet and we proceeded to her Doctor. We arrived there before 8:00 a.m., and I was surprised that even though we were so early and the clinic was still closed, we were already 17 on the list. We were served at 12:00 noon and there are still 50 plus to be served.

Faith findings was she got more acids on her tummy, the doctor said maybe she drank a lot of coke or juice so no more soda for her yet only milk and plain water. The medicines alone were I spent 1,000 pesos plus the check-up fee. And I have to pay Mj's Kumon Fee, now I am out of budget, sigh!

FTF # 56: Hito

2011-09-02T08:34:00.001+08:00

Right after we watched the movie cars with my kids, we headed to Antonio’s Restaurant to taste their special Hito or catfish. I was so surprised of how big their hito was and obviously the price was as huge as well. Anyway, what matters most was we had a very sumptuous dinner and we had so much fun!

Will Celebrate it in a Hotel

2011-09-02T00:19:00.002+08:00

Few days from now would be our wedding anniversary and I guess I will be celebrating our anniversary again alone. Oh well not literally alone because my friends here are willing to keep me company and how I wish my husband would send me enough for our buffet dinner or lunch in a hotel. I was planning the waterfront hotel but let's see the finances, mostly we are always depending on it. But it is much better if my husband is here to celebrate it with me.

Flu Vaccine Today

2011-08-31T06:57:00.002+08:00

So instead on Monday, we are going to their dentist today. We were so busy on Monday and Tuesday even we did not have any classes those days, Mj has to go to her training early in the morning so that explains the absence of two days because we were already tired when we arrive home.

The Irene storm already stopped but it leaves a big mark on my husband's house, the trees fell on her roof that made it damage. And to fix that, he needs $1,000 plus for the payment. Thus, I did not asked him for flu vaccine, I thought we are going to postponed it next week but he called me last night to wired me some money for the vaccination.

KID # 17: Weekend Getaway

2011-08-30T23:43:00.002+08:00

It was a sudden and a quick invitation yet we enjoyed our weekend getaway very much. Thanks for the Davao Sea Lion Swim Club it was a very nice bonding!

Something Good

2011-08-27T22:38:00.002+08:00

I think I cannot go on for another hour, I badly needed to rest I just finish doing some laundry since our washing machine was broke. My sister asked if I could buy another one since she thought it could not be repairable at all. But my husband said it will be a waste of money since the surprise will about to come. I am not sure what it is, but I hope it something good. Thus I did not insist, he told me then to hire somebody who can repair it. Now, folks I have to say goodnight!

FTF # 55: Sweet and Sour

2011-08-26T21:17:00.003+08:00

This was the sweet and sour I cooked last Christmas, I wonder what will I cook this coming Christmas. How I wish to celebrate it with my husband.

The In Demand Profession

2011-08-26T20:53:00.002+08:00

I supposed to go to the massage parlor today but my friend message me already too late so I just went to the mall to grocery shop.

Whenever I go there, I wonder what else does the therapist could do aside from doing a massage in the massage parlor, or if they ever dream to go abroad for their skills. Therapists Jobs are so in demand nowadays, I heard some countries are really hiring for this kind of profession. And I know their salary could not even sustain to support their family, so if given the chance I am sure they will grab it. But they should have a proper training and they should know what other jobs they should do. I know some schools offer a therapist course, if they would pursue it, I am sure they will be hired since they already know what to do and they have the certificate to prove that they are a professional therapist.

Broken Mirror

2011-08-26T20:35:00.002+08:00

The moment I stepped inside our gate, my little toddler ran towards me and throws me a hug. It is indeed a nice feeling for your kid to hug you tight and will say she loves you but then breaking a mirror is another story. It is so disappointing!

Right after she hugs me, she was running around the house like a horse, then she bump into our mirror and ran away. The mirror was moved and fell in the floor. The last thing we know the mirror was turn into pieces. Good thing, that my daughter is already a bit far from where the mirror fell otherwise she will get wounded by the broken pieces. Sigh, another accessories to buy the next payday, the study table and the stand fan is not yet realized now I have to mind to purchase another mirror. I wonder, what life will be like without a mirror to pose with and no mirror to see you through of how do you look like when you go out in the house.

Funny Shirts

2011-08-26T20:21:00.002+08:00

I just arrived home from looking around the mall; I was trying to find funny tee shirts for me. I just find it so cool and cute to wear that, I have seen a lot of gals wearing that shirt and I can't help to glance and read at what has been written on their shirts. But sigh, I was not able to find what I like, the one I saw doesn't have a comfy fabric. I might be looking around again in the other mall tomorrow right after I collected some money from my partner for our micro finance business.

Garage Sale

2011-08-26T01:50:00.002+08:00

I just had a blast today, I bought 4 pants for only 180 pesos each and it looks like new. Thanks to Ate Charlotte, who just had a garage sale today. I would never go to the mall for months because I already have some jeans to wear, it helps me save a lot.

And since I was too busy trying the jeans that Ate Charlotte sells, I didn't notice that my husband has been trying to call me 7 times. When I finally answered the phone, he then told me I got so many miscalls from him. Oh well, spare the wife because I was too excited with the jeans that I tried, most of them were perfectly fit on me. Although I have to let it cut because it was so long, spare again the height. LOL

Clothes For Him On Our Anniversary

2011-08-25T22:12:00.005+08:00

Our wedding anniversary is fast approaching and I still could not think of what gift should I give to my husband until today, oh well I just found a best designer clothes for men, which I'm sure my husband would love to have. It is hard to pick things or clothes for men but when you have the best designer, nothing could go wrong. Now, I have an idea of what kind of gift that I could give to my husband, I already have bought him a wallet before, this time I would send him a unique design shirts. It is best for summer and I'm sure he will be delighted to receive it. Oh I am so excited!
