My Journey in Life

Early Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 16:36:00 +0000

Yesterday we went to my sister's house for an early Christmas party. We did it earlier because they are not going to be around on our traditional Christmas gathering at my mom's. It's like everybody was there but my other sister but we will have our traditional Christmas anyway.

It was fun everybody was thrilled about my stomach. It's already starting to show. We actually got a first gift for the baby from Courtney (our niece and Ray's god daughter)

Obama wins

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:57:00 +0000

Yup, tonight the Americans has just decided for the next president of the country. Barack Obama from the state of Illinois and a representative for the Democrat party won the election.

John McCain congratulates Barack Obama and even promised to help and support him.

It has been a long campaign but tonight it has all ended and hopefully whatever happened and being said during the election will be left behind so we can all walk hand hand to make this country back on track especially with our economy.

Congratulations to our newly elected president of the United States of America, Barack Obama!

Joke Therapy

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 14:16:00 +0000

When I was growing up way back in my home town, jokes is always part of my everyday living. My brother and my father, we always tell jokes at each other even when I was in my high school days my friends, we always tell jokes as part of our conversations. Telling jokes is like part of my life and I am grateful because, people will always call me Miss Smiley. Now that I am here in the US it's rare that I get to see my friends, so what I do is just go to the Internet and read up jokes that will keep my wrinkles away.

Not the same!

Last week we went to an early Halloween Party and I am not really feelin' it even though there were a whole lot of people. Tonight we decided to go to another Halloween costume party because I always like to dress up. The only thing I don't like is I can't drink people!!! Partying is not the same when you don't have alcohol consumption, it just make the whole party funnier and wilder plus besides the fact that Ray will be drinking and I am not. It sucks but I can still have fun right? I'll just dance it off to get my thoughts away from alcohol. Maybe I can just have a frozen Pina Collada but no alcohol, does that sounds pretty good?

So are you going to a Halloween Costume party? What are you wearing? Whatever you wearing and wherever halloween party you are attending, having fun is always depend on you not on somebody else's so leave all your negative thought at home and just let go of yourself and have fun.

I am kinda confused what to wear, I had my Miss Muffet last week and I am torn between my Race Car costume and my lion outfit. We'll see what will get the most appeal later...

Have fun on your Halloween Party....have a great weekend..

Chillin out!

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 19:43:00 +0000

My friend just asked us if we want to go with them in a trade show. My friend said that they are going to have a lot of trade show booths where we will have a full day of fun and adventures. They always go to those kinds of events and now they want us to experience it. She said that they will actually decided to have a booth for their business because they get a really good deal in the materials they needed to be in the show like table skirts to go with theme, Pipe and Drape which will do a dramatic effect for visitors and of course the banner stands which is very important. I have been to one before but we don't really do anything because we hardly know anybody and now that our friend will be in the event, we kinda hang out at their booth or we can go around to other booths so explore whatever they have in displays. It has been awhile since we hang out with friends because we have been working hard lately. So I think their invitation kinda just fell in the right time so at least we can just chill out and spend time with them and maybe do a little help too while having fun.

I am finally back!

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 22:52:00 +0000

I was so unmotivated to go to the gym and get back to my regular gym routine for the past 2 months. I am just so lazy to at least spare a half an hour, it started when I found out that I lost my gym bag which includes 1 pair of sneakers, fitness clothes and most especially my IPOD Gen 3. I just bought it 6 months ago and listening to the music while working out is just makes a difference. I even spent $30 just to get the best arm band for it. I just love it because it was so light and so user friendly. Now I have to deal with my IPHONE which I got my music because of course it's an IPOD too but don't think I am going to continue using it. It is not as light for one thing and it is a little bigger which I hate the most. I love my IPHONE but not when I am working out. I guess I have to save some money to buy a IPOD NANO again but I am thinking of ITOUCH but it will be the same as IPHONE when it comes to the size though but I can play games right, especially with the latest model right now.

We'll once I am able to save some money I can decide which one will work best for me. For now I am just glad I am back to my gym routine.

2008 World Series

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:41:00 +0000

First I want to congratulate the Tampa Bay Rays for beating the Boston Red Sox and be the winner of the 2008 American League Championship Series. I just learned all this stuff in 2 months and I am so proud that the worst team in baseball last year being able to compete in the 2008 World Series this year. It is truly a Cinderella story for the Tampa Bay Rays and being able to prove to the world that they can do all this and win their games.

Tomorrow is the first game of the 2008 World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Go Rays Go!!! We can win all the way...

warm greetings

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 23:48:00 +0000

I the past years, sending our deepest thoughts are really hard. Sending Holiday Gifts can be very hard because we don't want redundant gifts and of course we don't want to just waste our money because we can't think of something new and useful gifts. Most of my friends are married and having a baby is not really a news and giving Baby Gifts is sometimes hard because I don't want to keep giving the same thing, and of course the hardest thing for me is thinking of birthday gifts, it's so special where I always want to give a special gift to a special person who is celebrating her day and I found this great ideas from Book Bouquet create unusual gifts featuring great books. Giving a Book Gift Baskets will be very useful especially when that someone loves to read. We all know how to read and reading is one of the favorite past time and will always be. We will never forget to read and we will always learn how to read even the young ones, they will love to receive Childrens Gifts where they always think receiving gifts is always a pleasant thing to happen especially that they can learn from it. Most important thing that we can't forget is those times when we or someone we love the most has to stay in the hospitals, What is the best gift for a friend that is in the hospital who is really bored? Of course giving him or her a Get Well Gifts or Sympathy Gifts. Knowing that we are helping through the process of healing through our gifts, it is a very good feeling that we can always fonder.

Oh man! You have to see this!

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:37:00 +0000

While watching it, i felt terribly scared for him especially right at the end but he made it and make another entry to the Guinness Book of record. So watch it and tell how did you feel?

Last Chance America

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 21:52:00 +0000

Tonight is the last presidential debate and I know that there are still a lot of folks out there who are undecided and having trouble choosing because of what's going on with the country right now especially with the economy and foreign policies. So America tonight is your last chance to decide and make up your mind. We don't want to vote because some famous celebrity is telling you to vote, we will vote according to what we think is fit and ready to lead our country.

New releases and news

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:18:00 +0000

As our technology has been really great in the past century, we have great inventions that makes our lives so much easier. We are so spoiled with these new releases, like network media player, music players, Big O TV and even with the ideal work of Internet we can use online backup services to make sure our data are safe and cannot be lost. We are even luckier that if we lose our original remote controls we can program universal remote control to go with our appliances at home. So if you are into these new releases I saw a website called Gadget Advisor where it focuses on the product releases and news items that are the most significant, useful, or particularly cool, hand-picked the best resource for computer hardware, software, gadgets, and tech news and they only give you the top products and news instead of browsing through those nonsense for hours they all do it just for you.

Alright! The Tampa Bay Rays has played their last game against the Chicago White Sox and they are one game to go to hit the world series. The Tampa Bay Rays is waiting for the winning team between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels. What is interesting about the Tampa Bay Rays is being the worst team in the league last year to one of the best team team this year. If I have to choose I'd rather Boston Red Sox to win the series between the Los Angeles Angels because the Tampa Bay Rays will have the home field advantage playing against the Red Sox but the Los Angeles Angels which has the number one record of the whole league trying hard to bring back Game 5 to Los Angeles.

Go Tampa Bay Rays Go!!!!

Pouring Rain

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:59:00 +0000

I got scared driving earlier because of the heavy rain. I normally don't drive when it is raining but when I got out it wasn't really raining so I never had to worry but after driving few blocks, the just started pouring and I hate driving because I just think it is dangerous. Plus it wasn't just rain it was thundering and there was lightning everywhere. In addition was the water accumulated too fast that when you drive the water just go in your wind shield. I just hate when you drive and can't even see clearly even changing lanes I feel so vulnerable. So to of you out there, Please drive carefully and if you can, please don't drive if you don't have to.

Drive for a reason

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 21:12:00 +0000

If we can all afford it we will all drive a car that is environmental friendly. As we have known that the ice caps are melting and we all know that it is all because of us producing too much pollution. One can't make a difference but if we all work together to save our planet earth then we will see a difference. I found this website called Charter where they are having a “SAVE GREEN GO GREEN” sweepstakes and you will have a chance to win a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid worth over $24,000! There will be no purchase necessary and your purchase won't increase your chance either. This is open to legal residents of the contiguous United States except New York, who reside in a Charter Communications’ serviceable area and are need to be 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. There are three method of how to enter, first is the automatic entry method in which you will be automatically entered into the sweepstakes by purchasing online any one of Charter Communications’ products , second is the Online Method entry in which you have to be connected to the Internet to be able to log on to the www.charter.com/hybridgiveaway and follow the entry directions and third is the mail-in entry method by hand printing the words, Charter Communications and fill out all personal data that is being asked. So are you ready to drive for a reason now? Let drive for reason and that is to clean up our air to prevent the icecaps from melting!

Have you decided yet?

Sports In our Lives

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 23:19:00 +0000

Sports is always been a big part of every country. No matter what kind of sport it is, it always bring people a lot closer and sometimes a part because of the teams yet after the game we are all belong to one country and one game. Here in America one if not the biggest sport is football. At first I was like why this sport is so physical yet I gradually like it and even root for our own team here in Tampa. I have learn watching football because every Thanksgiving dinner a football game will always play in the background. My husband and I even went to a game and even brought our dad. I just love to be a part of a big sensation here in America which is sports where you see die-hard fans are always there to cheer up their favorite teams and even fight for them if they have to. To all fans out there I have a great website that I found called SportsVids where you can upload video that you took when you were in the game and share it to other fans too. Of course I want to share this great moment of my favorite football team Tampa Bay Buccaneers when they won the Superbowl Super Bowl XXXVII.

Life Within

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 21:55:00 +0000

I have been questioning myself if I am ready to face life to the next level. All these times, it's always been me, me and me. Yea I have my own family and I got dogs, cats and a bird to complete a family. Having a husband is not as easy, we have been adjusting and everyday is a lesson learned. We've been married for almost 4 years now and we still learn new everyday. Life is a constant change. Life always has its ups and down, emotion always plays its role but at the end of the day and everything has come down, we still appreciate life and God has been very good and been giving us blessing all through these years. Now I am back to questioning myself if I am ready to take the next level, my answer is still uncertain, I still have a lot of doubts that has to come out but I am not afraid to take chances. In that next level I will try to be the best that I can be. to be continued....

ScreenLife Games' Disney Bingo DVD game

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:19:00 +0000

Learning before as I remember wasn't as fun as the process of learning of our new generation today. A whole lot of manufacturing company who came up with all this fun learning tools. Of course we all know that learning starts at home. When our home is pretty oriented and parents are concerned about their kids and want their kids to learn the ABC's and count the number as early as the kids are interested, then the learning process will always be interesting and fun. In our time, Disney is pretty much up there when it comes to child's interest. They all have their favorite Disney character like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Cinderella, Lilo & Stitch, Winnie the Pooh and a whole lot more. Have you played the Disney Bingo yet? I saw them selling it in Amazon.com and Drugstore.com. It is pretty fun because it is a new twist on an old favorite! Pick a Bingo card and toss in the DVD. Then get busy learning numbers, colors and matching skills with your favorite Disney characters and movie clips. Match the numbers on the board as they are called out. The first one to fill in the pattern and shout out BINGO wins! It's really easy and fun since you have to match the numbers on the board to the ones given by the on-screen caller, it offers a high-tech twist on an old favorite, it allows you to play for five chips across, five chips down, or five ships diagonally, the DVD will automatically call a new number every fifteen seconds, and Disney DVD Bingo features clips from your favorite Disney movies - The clips can be WILD and just might help you win the game!

What's really going on?

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 03:10:00 +0000

It is been getting uglier with our situation here in United States. Our economy is plunging plus the wall street scandal. One of the biggest issue right now is 700 billion bailout, then there's the war issues. With all these drama in wall street, I don't know where to stand to tell you the truth. As our president is trying to rescue our economy as what he told us in his speech earlier. All I know is all official should be holding hands and forget the parties they are in and just focus on getting solutions of the problems we are facing right now. I just hope they will have solutions sooner than later.

Does it really work?

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:42:00 +0000

I know it will be hard for us to believe when somebody claimed that their products works. It is just a natural reaction that human race won't immediately believe but we are great in trying and if results will show and words will spread like a wind. We also know that it has been a constant battle with weight especially Americans. We have been in a trial and error but never stop believing that one day we will find solution. I have heard a lot of buzz about anoretix where it has nine patented ingredients in one diet pill and its most effective ingredients are Advantra Z (Synephrine) and ForsLean (Coleus forskohlii ). If you are still in that trial and error and still waiting for the right diet pill, then I would say you can try anoretix since it is clinically proven ingredients, they offers money back guarantee and its got great consumer reviews.

Go Tampa Bay Rays Go

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:06:00 +0000

This year the Tampa Bay Rays is doing pretty good that I was able to learn how to understand the baseball game. I have watched baseball before yet I really don't know what's going on. I just watch it because my friend is playing. Now that our baseball team here in Tampa, the Tampa Bay Rays is playing well and they are going to the playoffs. My husband and I went to their games. The first one we went was against the Boston red Sox which the Rays lost but they beat the Red Sox twice after. Then we went to the game against the Minnesota Twins where they lost again but we got a really good seat right on the field, first row where I was able to get the signature of one of the Rays pitcher Matt Garza. Even they lost I am still happy.
with our niece

Matt Garza signing

very good seat we had

Total Transformation!

noreply@blogger.com (Malyn) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:07:00 +0000

Busy schedule from work, family and friends can sometimes take away our main focus which is ourselves. We sometimes forgot that ourselves needs a lot of caring and because of our busy schedule we just let go of it where it resulted to a massive gaining of weight. When weight is gained, it is really hard to lose especially when we don't know how to start the process. Plus the fact that it is hard to contradict ourselves when we crave for those sweets and unhealthy foods. Now that summer is over and holidays are going to be knocking on our doors and next time we know we are gaining weight left and right. Losing weight is not as easy gaining them but for all the hopefuls out there here something new for you that I saw. It is a really cool exercise routine called XFLOWSION where its exercise program that efficiently and effectively gives you all three workouts in one convenient workout, combining the proven best moves from martial arts, power yoga, and dance. I love working out when I actually having fun and for me dancing is really a motivating way when you don't think that you are trying really hard to lose all your excess fats and all you think of you are having a blast while shedding.
