San Diego with Love!

Airport and airplane :(

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:31:24 PST

Every time we drove by at the airport and seeing those plane taking off and ready for landing I get so emotional. I had tears in my eyes the other day because I felt like some piece is missing and that’s the feeling of going back home to my homeland. It’s an overwhelming feeling and mix emotion knowing that all your family and relatives are waiting for you at the airport with their hands and feet. I miss those scenes. We were all excited to see each other and finally they got to see our first born (boy) for the very first time. Our next trip to the Philippines will be as exciting as it was too because they will be meeting our second child (girl). We really want to go back home 2 years from now!

Plans for 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:50:44 PST

Oh boy, 2009 is almost over and welcome to 2010. Like I’m really looking forward to that year huh? Well, hopefully our 2010 is good and health-wise as well. I think we will have another vehicle next year; we’re looking for roomy and gas economy type of vehicle this time. We might go somewhere out of town if circumstances permits us and I need to start stuffing the boxes that I’m going to send to my family back home. Hubby will be getting his pay increase next year too and I hope the blogging will get better also. Oh, another plans that we will have for next year is saving money and PTO (pay time off) because we’re dying to go back home in 2011 for our 2nd trip to the Philippines. We will have to work hard for these plans and we’re hoping that we will fulfill some of them if not all.

New arrivals of eye wear at Zenni

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:24:44 PST

What a cool Holiday Fun Eyeglasses at Zenni. Zenni’s have New Arrivals of stylish and unique frames. I love the # 4409 which is Tailored Fashion Acetate Full-Rim Frame with Spring Hinge. Isn’t it cute? I will order one as soon as I get my eye wear prescription from my eye doctor. We are so fortunate to have Zenni because they sell the cheapest eyeglasses; their price starts at $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses. What do you think of that price? So cheap, huh! They also have quality products and I can attest to that, because I’m wearing their product.

Been to sonic burger yesterday

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:06:30 PST

Success! Finally I was able to taste the real drive-in sonic burger. We tasted thier tater tots, burger, mocca shake and their onion ring. We love it and they’re good, I love their onion rings. Just imagine we drove 15 miles one way (from IB to Santee) just to have a taste of their burger. We don’t usually waste gas by driving too far just to eat burger but because of the crazy and tempting commercial they have we gave it a try. It was our first time to taste it but it will never be the last time that’s for sure.

Camera-Critters #83

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:41:38 PST

It's my first time to join the camera critters meme. Hope i'm welcome though. Anyways, We found two wild deer a few weeks ago when we went up in the mountain for summer adventure. It was my first time to see deer in the wild and it’s really fun and cool. We saw wild turkey as well. Late of posting this but never too late right?

Improving our credit

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:53:38 PST

My husband came home today with the mail in his hand like he always does but he had a store catalog in his hand and I was curious to find out what kind of catalog he had. Apparently the front of the catalog said that my husband was pre-approved for credit so I decided to browse thru the catalog and look at the electronics pages since we have been considering buying a new TV but we don't know whether to buy plasma tvs or the LCD TVs. It looks like they both have a beautiful picture and I cant really tell the difference between the two. Tough decision! This will help improve our credit rating.

Sonic burger in Vista

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:45:08 PST

Ever since I got here in the states I’ve been seeing this sonic burger commercial and I asked my husband about it and he said that that’s a famous drive-thru burger restaurant but we can’t find it here in San Diego yet. Good news though! After the longest time of seeing this commercial, finally there is sonic burger open for business now here in San Diego. Imagine the line was out to the street just to have a taste of their burger. And accordingly the people had to wait for hours just to place their order. Too bad for them. Unfortunately their restaurant is somewhere north of San Diego County and I think it's like a 30 minutes drive from Imperial Beach. I can’t wait to taste it though. My husband said that we will go there one of these days, maybe on Friday.

Thank God!

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:24:27 PST

I’m talking about my mother-in-law. Thank God that she’s out in the ICU and she is now transferred to a homecare facility where she used to be at. She's doing ok but I guess she doesn’t want to accept any lifesaving treatments anymore. Before she was taken into the hospital the caregivers said that she was found in her bed unconscious and so they called rescue 911 to take her in to the hospital immediately. The rescuer used their AED lifeline device to rescue her until she become conscious. Her diagnosis was pneumonia, fluid in her lungs and heart attack. I remember those days when she was still in the ICU fighting for her life and everybody thought that her life will end right there. As a matter of fact, all her children flew in to see her before she’ll rest in peace. But it wasn’t her time yet. She is indeed a fighter.

SkyWatch Friday

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:56:37 PDT

Here’s my entry for this weeks SkyWatch Friday. I love the hue of natures. I think it’s refreshing to see this kind of breathtaking view. If you just saw this in person you will appreciate it more. This photo was taken when we went to Cuyama Lake a few weeks ago. My husband said that this area used to be a lake too but because of the global warming it dried up. It’s sad to see that the lake used to be a huge lake is now becoming a small lake. Thanks for viewing and have a nice weekend to all!

Window shopping

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:30:30 PDT

Sales… more sales! Yes, that’s very true. Every store we went to is having huge sales. It’s overwhelming to see those items for sale but then I couldn’t even afford to buy some of them. Window shopping is for your eyes only lol. I went by to the beauty boutiques and I saw some natural acne treatment for less. I really want to grab some because it was the best deals ever but unfortunately I don’t have extra money for that. I hope they will still be on sale next payday so I can buy some of it. I will use some and most of them will be sent back home to the Philippines.

Envy me :(

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:27:02 PDT

I was looking at my friend’s photos when she and her daughter visited the Philippines a couple of months ago and it’s depressing to know that my family wont be able to go back home next year for our second vacation. Whenever we will take our vacation we may consider purchasing some Eagle Creek luggage because our old luggage is already worn-out and we have friends who have that kind of luggage and they’re very satisfied with it. So I thought we might as well get that kind of luggage.

Cuyamaca & Julian trip

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:06:34 PDT

Another unplanned family trip. Adventure up in the mountains of Cuyamaca and Julian (6000 ft high). These mountains are famous for their pies and many sandiegans and tourist visit up there during winter because that’s one of the few places here in San Diego that are snowing. We actually went there late last year (winter) and we’re thinking about going back there this winter. My son loves sledding and he never forgets those days where he had fun in the snow, so we will take him there again this year.

Need one?

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:16:46 PDT

Are you looking for Mopar parts to fit your Chrysler, dodge, or jeep vehicle? Well, I found a site that sells mopar parts for your car. Just visit their company website at moparliquidators.com and they have all kinds of parts that will fit your budget. As a matter of fact, I will refer their website to my husband too because I heard him the other day mentioning that he was looking for some auto parts for his co-worker’s car and who knows he might find what he is looking for at their website.

Skywatch Friday

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:17:41 PDT

It’s my first time to join “Skywatch Friday”. I love taking pictures. Capturing the beauty of nature made me more appreciative to our heavenly creator. Sunset can sometimes be refreshing too especially when it’s colorful. This photo was taken the other day when we were heading home from Mt. Cuyamaca, CA. It was quite an adventure that day.

Conspiracy to kill (48/hours News)

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:23:05 PDT

I happened to watch this news about a Filipina woman who killed her husband(s) because of the life insurance policy and I was shocked to hear about it. It’s a long story but I recommend you to watch the video to see it for yourself. But anyways, having life insurance is of great advantage but sad to say that many people these days use it in the wrong way. I mean, people kill for money which is so sad.

Get over it son

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:28:23 PDT

Every time we go to my sister-in-laws house we had to warn our son about their pets. My sister-in-law has pets (cats and dogs) and for some reason my son gets scared of them even though they are harmless. I guess it’s because of my son is not used to seeing animals everyday, well, son get over it OK. My in-laws just bought some dog supplies when we were there because we saw it on their front yard. I would love to have our own pets too but I can’t, we are not allowed to have pets in our complex. Better luck next time.

PhotoHunt 183: Anything Goes

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 16:41:23 PDT

Scroll down to view more!!!

I can post any photos I want for this week’s photohunt because the theme is “Free week”. Cool! I can’t get enough of my photographs; you can almost see some of these photos in my blogs so pardon me OK. Well, if you’re from San Diego then you surely seen this view many times already, especially when you go by the Coronado Bridge (famous landmark here in our city). What a perfect view. Huh? Thanks for viewing and happy weekend to all.

Stop it honie!

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:15:50 PDT

Hubby caught me last night picking on my pimples once again. I hate to do this but I can’t help it because it bothers me when I look at the mirror and see some acne on my face. I might have to purchase some acne treatment whenever we get the chance to go out tomorrow. I used to just order it online or thru the hotline but it takes forever to get here so might as well just go to the store personally so I can apply the treatment as soon as I can. It’s really not advisable to pick on our pimples because the more it will get worse and it will just create scars on our face. My bad!

200 pcs. lumpia

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 13:31:44 PDT

I think I need some appetite suppressant so I won’t be tempted to eat some of the lumpia that I will be making tonight. The manager of our apartment phoned my husband the other day to let us know that he wants us to make 200 pcs. of lumpia and fried them ready for Monday. I think he will have a candle light party and he invited us over too. I asked him what is that party all about and he said that he’ll be having a candle demonstration and it’s up to us his visitors whether we will purchase some or not. But anyways, it will be another tiring night tonight because I will be wrapping 200 pcs.

A day at Balboa Park

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:45:38 PDT

Scroll the photo down to see more!!!

So much to see at Balboa Park and one day of wandering around is not enough. This time we went to air space museum so my son can see many different airplanes. He was excited to see them and we went by to their gift shop and bought an airplane toy. We also went to the train museum and see many different kinds of miniature trains. My son loves it. There are a lot of museums at Balboa Park from science, art, mens, animals, air space, international cookout, theater, national history to trains and a lot more. We actually rode the tram so we don’t get tired from walking far distances.

PhotoHunt 181: Words

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 12:13:54 PDT

Today’s photohunt theme is about “words”. Veolia Company is where my husband works for as a bus mechanic. We took this picture during the APTA (public transportation) show last year at convention center downtown San Diego. They were showing all kinds of buses and trains that’s part of the MTS public transportation here in our city. We had fun that day because we went home with all kinds of free goodies like tote bags, ballpens, hand made necklaces, and mugs as their giveaways. Happy photohunt to everyone and thanks for viewing my entry!

Workaholic

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:39:56 PDT

I’m tired of reminding my husband about almost everything especially when it comes to his hgh supplements. I want him to take his supplements everyday even when he’s off work but he never does it. Because I truly believe that people who are taking supplements has a great advantage than those who aren’t taking them. My husband is a workaholic and he is not getting any younger which means he needs to take care of his health wisely and supplements will help him do that for it boost his energy and will help him to not to become so tired at the end of the day.

Looking at the Sky on Friday

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:45:09 PDT

What can I say about this? Oh well, that’s how our skies usually look like here in San Diego. Blueeeeee… You can tell from the photo itself that we always have wonderful weather here compared to the other states here in the United States. I took this photo when we were heading to downtown San Diego and at the right hand side of the picture is Petco Park, one of the famous attractions here in our city. That’s my entry for this week and happy Looking at the Sky on Friday to everyone!

Never ending chores

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:58:49 PDT

I’m doing my house chores while hubby is at work. Geezzz! Our kitchen floor tiles are dirty again, I just scrubbed it the other day and now it’s dirty again. It’s hard to keep our house clean when toddlers run around all day making a mess. I need to get my chores done before my husband comes home from work because we promised our son we would take him to the beach today. We have to keep our promises to our children you know. We were supposed to go yesterday but we did some food shopping and we came home late already so there’s no way we could go to the beach.

Another humid week

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:44:00 PDT

Urrggg! I am so not looking forward to the next week’s weather. I was listening to the local weather forecast today and accordingly next week will be another humid day for us here in San Diego. Coastal area will be experiencing 90 degree Fahrenheit which is not good at all. I’m sure all the fire-fighters will be alert because of the fire issues. I just told my husband tonight that I’m sure we won’t be staying inside the house when that time comes. We probably have to go malling or go to the beach at least. What I hate about summer is that we need to open our front door and the flies will be coming in because we don’t have screen door. Ggeeezzzz!
