Pink Friday: Camilla´s Cap

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 09:47:50 PST

Whew, it´s already Saturday night here but I just start writing my entry for " Pink Friday " but anyway, it´s better late than never, they say. Haha. It took me few minutes to find for my entry today and since Camilla´s birthday is coming I thought of looking at her album and this is what I found ( refer to the photo above ) I took beautiful photo right? The cap is mine but it´s fits her too. And it made me play with my phone because it´s fun to take photo of my little angel who will have her first birthday soon.

This month and few months coming are special for us because, this month it is our wedding anniversary, and for February it´s my birthday and on March it´s Camilla´s first birthday. I am planning to host a giveaway but it is not final yet. I need budget haha. I haven´t earn this month and passed months because I was inactive in blogging but not it seems I am back on track, actually I bought two domain names yesterday. I am excited to start with my new blogs ( fashion and a mom blogs ) but I need to wait until it will be in WordPress blog. Let see what will happen.

This blog will have it own domain and will be hosted blog

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:57:46 PST

This morning, I was sitting down in front of my laptop and thinking hard about deleting and adding new blogs. I have six blogs and it gives me hard time to update of them though some of them have their own niche which is easy for me to update but still I didn´t update them. So I came to conclusion to delete some of my blogs and buy a new domain and to make it easy for me to update them if they have a proper niche ( some of my blogs have their own niche but not all of them.

I have already buy two domains ( Bloggistamomma and Shy´s Mode ) and I am planning them to be hosted. I just rename my 3 and a half years old blog " A Journey For Life " to " Bloggista Momma " I just can´t delete this blog since this is my very first blog. It has also a high rank of 3 but I thought it much better if it has it own name. And I thought it will be wasted if I delete this blog so instead I buy it own domain and let it be a hosted blog. Wonderful idea I got right? haha. The passed days, I was been reading fashion blogs and it´s inspired me to make my own fashion blog. My fashion blog will not only contains about fashion, it will also contain product review that I used, beauty tips and many more as long as it will be related to fashion niche. And when I got budget, I let these blog to have their own blog make over so they will be beautiful like the own. Haha.

Let see if the new domains I bought wills survive since boredom of blogging is occupying me right now. Oh, maybe you get bored reading this post, I better stop now. See you around guys.

It´s snowing for the firs time

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 03:20:08 PST

It was three days ago when it was snowing the first time this month. It seems that, we will have a mild winter this year compares last year. Last year of November have started to snow but this year is much late. I am a bit happy and sad about it. Sad because I would love to experience the snow outside, play with it with my baby, happy because it means it will not so cold.

When I was out yesterday for some errands, it feels not cold at all, I can take away my winter jacket without freezing. Christmas is soon now, and I miss my family in Philippines. I hope next Christmas I can spend it with them.

Pump that I love

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:57:14 PST

This is the last month of 2011 and month of Christmas. I am sure everyone is busy finding gifts to their love ones, decorating Christmas decor to their home ( for us, we decided to put Christmas tree next year ) and preparing for the cold weather. Like I posted here before, my husband has already a gift for me this coming Christmas, but I haven´t found any gift for him yet.

Btw, during December month here in Sweden, most of the people are attending different kind of parties. I do attend different kind of parties such as birthday parties. And this month, I have already attended several parties, and soon I will be attending another party which is a " Glamour Party " where the aim is to wear clothes that has glitters. This is my first time to attend this kind of party. I am really curious about the event.

I have been roaming around the mall to find clothes that I am going to where for the event. And for the shoes, I found these two pair of pump online which maybe I am going to purchase. I so love the style of these pump, what you think?

I was surprised and very excited

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:23:14 PST

I have been living together with my husband for almost five years. I have learned when he gave me gift, it always not wrapped in a special bag wrapper, instead we buy it together haha. I don´t mind at all, the important is, he always made me very special through giving me gifts that I wanted. Several days ago, he asked me if I want to receive a special gift during this coming Christmas or on my birthday, I told him I would love to receive gift during my birthday, that´s that. End of the gift conversation.

Last weekend, he went out to done his hair cut. And when he came home, he suddenly told me that he was walking a long time to make my gift wrapped. And I was like, I thought you will gave the special gift on my birthday. And that´s it. I was very surprised because like I said, I used to received gifts from him unwrapped but this time, first time ever it will be wrapped haha. The gift is somewhere in our apartment and I don't have a plan to find it. I just wants to have it on Christmas day.

I am really really curious what will be the gift. I have been bagging my husband about what is the gift and he never told me. I even asked for a clue but he never gave me. He just said, wait until Christmas. I gave up to knowing what is the gift. I cannot wait to open it during Christmas day. Anyway, there are 25 days to go before Christmas, I will post here what will be the gif okay guys. See you around!!!

Lunch meeting with my girlfriends

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:46:05 PST

How is everybody? Ask for me, I am still lazy blogging. I so lazy updating my blogs for weeks. What happened to me ( sad sign ) maybe I need to be away from blogging to get back the energy again to blog? What you suggest guys? Anyway, I´ll be meeting my girlfriends at the Filipino Restaurant here in Gothenburg ( I will blog about the Filipino Restaurant soon, I just need to take some photo to make the post more exciting right ) we will have our lunch there, and after that, no schdule. Maybe we will just hang around the mall and just do the chikahan about anything. I will share some photos later, see yah!

Yahooo! Finally...

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 02:45:28 PST

Yay!! You are not lost!!! It just I got a new theme and a blog title. I changed the title of my blog from " A Journey Of Life " to " Blogista Momma " I thought it fits the new title of my blog as of my new role. I have been longing for months to get new theme for this blog. When I own domain blogs, I left behind this blog and never update it even though it has a high page rank. But then I realized it will be waste of time if I lose this blog since this is my very first and old blog. So to get back my eager to update this blog, I planned to make renewed it, from title to theme so it will completely look brand new. And yes, I made it. This blog looks very new specially the theme.

It was not impossible with the help of my co-blogger and at the same time designer for blogspot Chie. I got this theme very cheap than normal charge for theme. I thank Chie for making this blog looks new and now I have a lot of energy to update this blog though this post should have posted yesterday haha. I was so hand full with the house hold and my baby that I wasnt able to come finished this post.

My comfy shoes

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:36:08 PST

I was inactive in my blogs for the past days since I cannot leave my baby alone playing in the living room because she´s moving a lot now and I need to watch her every time. And also she always cry when she can´t see me. Our computer is place in our bedroom while my baby stays in the living room so I can´t be in front of the computer. I have a laptop which place in the living room but every time I use it I can´t blog anything. I wish for a bigger laptop. Actually an Macbook air apple laptop is my wish to have but I do not know when I can have it since it is extremely expensive, as for now we cant afford since there are many things to buy first than my leisure thing.

I woke up 12 midnight and I cant sleep anymore, and I have been in front of the computer for an hour before I able to update this blog. Like I said, I am busy being with my baby and also lazy to blog. I just felt nothing to blog or maybe I just lazy. Anyway, I bought this pair of shoes several days ago. I expected to return it because I thought it will not feel comfy because it has the high heel and since I always go out with a baby cart, I thought it will hurt my feet. But I was completely surprised because I have tried to walked with this pair of shoes and they are so comfortable and it is very light weight that it feels that I do not wear any shoes at all. I so love this pair of shoes.

I wear it as my every shoes because it is good for the weather ( almost winter weather now ) it made my feet warm. It has a medium high heels and it made me tall a bit haha besides it so comfy. This is added to my favorite pair of shoes though I don't have much like Emelda Marcos. Here are the photos of me wearing my favorite brown pair of shoes and I matched it with brown jacket from BIKBOK. My husband told me that day, that he liked my outfit.

New theme for this blog soon

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 01:47:35 PST

Pardon me for not updating this blog. The past days, was a lazy days to blogs instead I was with my family which is a good excuse to be away from my blog right? Anyway, while I was blog hopping, I saw few blogs that have the same theme that I used in this blog. Seeing them made me eager to change the theme of this blog. And my co-blogger is working on my new theme and I just hope it will finish and install soon so I will inspires to blog haha. I am really excited for the new theme of this blog and I hope it will last long. I need to stop writing now and more blog hopping since this blog needs more comments and exposure.

It was the first time

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 02:26:40 PDT

I was in the kitchen preparing Camilla´s dinner when I heard our bell door rang. My husband was the one who open the door and I went in front of the door because I was curious who was the visitors. And I saw this two kids with their costumes Halloween. My husband asked me if I have some candies to give to the kids. I immediately checked my bag and I found one small toblerone and gave it to them and ask if it okay if I take photo of them. Here was their post for me.

It was the very first time that someone knock on our door during Halloween. Next Halloween I make sure I have a chocolate on our table in case they will come back haha. Anyway, the kids on the photo, were also their first time to do this activity. They are the grandsons of our neighbor who lives in first floor of the apartment and we live at the fourth floor.

24 movie marathon

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 01:49:19 PDT

The past days, I wasn´t into blogging. Since I was not in the mood of updating my blogs, I started to watch the 24 DVD that I received last Christmas from my husband. I was guilty for not watching it the past months, only little guilty because I am became a mom the past months. I just don't wanna miss every single minutes with my first baby. The first months, I still can´t believe that I am a mom already, I was so overwhelmed with the happiness I felt when my baby came into our life ( my husband has the same feeling likes I have ) who can blame us right?

It took me months before I used to be being a mom, and I´m loving it so much that every time I see my baby, I don´t feel anything except happiness in my heart. Now that I and my baby have adjusted with out new life, it is easier for both of us. My life is back to the normal routine, and my new rule as a mother is fantastic. One thing I can say, I am complete. Some times, when I felt sad, I just look at my baby and I feel so happy and blessed to have such a baby and also my husband who is always there to wipe my tears every time I cry. These two persons are the one who made my life complete. Nah, I should stop now, I am became so emotional haha.

Anyway, it has been three executive days, that I have been watching the 24 DVD and I so love it. The show made me not stop to watch every season because it so exciting. I so like Jack Bauer. My husband some times watch with me, and he like the show too.

I love coffee

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:19:10 PDT

A week from now, it will be officially winter season. And it will be below zero degrees Celsius again. My boots and winter are already in the closet and ready to wear. Time to wear heavy clothes again. I am so sensitive when it comes to cold weather, even it is still fall season, I already feel cold every time I do not have any jacket on me even though indoors. I am just grateful that I can make a coffee in just a minutes. Happy Winter Season everyone!

I woke up early and done nothing

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 06:14:38 PDT

After 2 hours of sitting down in front of computer, here I am writing this post through my iphone while lying in bed. I still cant sleep, so I probably wait for my baby to wake up then prepare her breakfast. I hope after her breakfast she will going back to sleep so I can sleep too because I am starting to be sleepy..

Rainbow

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 15:14:51 PDT

It was raining this morning, and we supposed to be in the food market to buy our weekly food but since it was raining we decided to stay home and wait until the rain stop. And after an hour, the rain stopped and when I look at our window, I saw this beautiful rainbow. I thought it was magic, very beautiful scene. I so love it. Then after watching the rainbow and a few minutes it disappear and we went to the food market. We took a walk first before going to the food market to stretch our legs. It was a great day.

Sick on and off

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 09:21:05 PDT

We supposed to have guests around six in the evening, but since I am slightly sick we postponed it. I have been sick on and off the past days and I hate it, because I need to take care of my baby and do the household. When I am sick, I love to just lay in the bed and sleep all day but I can´t do that. I also missed my blog and haven´t update for a while. I have runny nose and slightly fever and my husband and my baby have runny nose. I hope we will be free from these sickness. I need to stop now, and go back to bed, see you around guys!

Rice and chicken soup to warm me up

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:08:28 PDT

When I was out today, I felt the cold breeze of the wind, no question that it is already autumn season. It was cold outside, and when I came home, I still feel cold so I made chicken and rice soup to warm my body. It was delicious as expected haha. I forgot to take a photo for my blog, so instead I post my friend soup that she made, it was also delicious.

Right now, I am not 100 percent good as well as my family , I have runny nose that was started this morning. So all day, I have my warm bathrobe on me to keep me warm. I haven´t go out today, because of how I felt.I will meet my good friend tomorrow, so I am hoping to feel good and free from runny nose.

My dad-in-law is 94 years old

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 03:26:02 PDT

Last Saturday, we we´re invited for my dad-in-law´s 94 birthday. Yes, 94 years old. How I wish I will reach that age. We slept over at my in-laws house and came home on Sunday afternoon. Anyway, I am so amazed with my dad-in-law because in his age, he still can drive, fix things in their house likes for example climbing the roof to fix it. When we stayed there my husband always offer them help like cutting the grass in their garden, fixing the roof and other things that are too heavy for them to do it.

I admire my in-laws because they never asked husband help because they always try to do it alone, that why my husband always ask them what he can do for them when we stay at their crib. My mom-in-law is 74 years old but if you go to their house, it so clean. Everything is in proper place. Sometimes, I felt shy when they come to visit in our place because it is missy haha.

So when they visit us, I always try to clean first before they arrive haha. When we stay in their place, my mom-in-law always bake something, and she never let me help her, she will just say " take care of your baby and relax, I will just tell you if I need your help " so when I am in their place, I just relax and eat a lot of my mil cake and cookies haha. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN TO MY DAD-IN-LAW MWAH!!!

I love my parent-in-laws. I think I am so lucky to have them as my in-laws because they accepted me as I am. They are so kind to me, and treated me as their real daughter. How about you? Does your parent-in-laws are nice like I have?

I can´t sleep

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 14:30:17 PDT

I was already in bed trying to sleep, but while staying there for 30 minutes I decided to get up since the dream land won´t allows me to enter. It was few hours ago when we came home from my parent-in-laws house, we slept over there since it was my dad-in-law 94 years old birthday. When we came home, I made our dinner and clean.

After that, I watched the TV show that I have been following the past weeks, it is " True Talent " about singing. It is almost like " American Idol " version in Swedish. My husband and baby are already sleeping and as for me, I do not know when I´m gonna hit the bed, for a while just blogging until I get sleepy. See you around guys, and have a good sunday evening.

Unusual day for me

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 06:52:37 PDT

Unusual day. What I mean is, I just sit down in front of my computer around 3 o clock which made it as unusual day for me. I have been cleaning. I cleaned our kitchen, bathroom and I sort my clothes, I keep away my summer clothes and take away my autumn clothes from our cabinet. I also arranged my bags, and threw some of them that I do not use or broken. It is getting colder each day and it definitely time to wear jacket and boots.

When I checked the temperature this morning, I can say that autumn is saying hi to everybody. Time to get ready to face the cold weather again. I am looking forward to see the autumn beauty, specially when the leaves changed to different kind of color. I thought it is like magic. Maybe I take a walk these coming day to capture the beauty of autumn.

Btw, before I end this post, I like to share to my readers that my other blog which is DIAPER DAYS is giving a small give away to celebrate my daughter six month old tomorrow, just click the blog title if you like to join!

Runny nose

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:25:15 PDT

I took a shower and a long bath yesterday evening while my husband and my baby were already sleeping. After more than an hour in the bathroom I decided to get up and checked my baby. I didn´t bother to blow dry my hair because I thought I will going to sleep so why bother for it. The window in our bedroom is open ( I always open it to get some fresh air inside our apartment. It was a big mistake because in the morning I felt so bad, I had headache and runny nose. Right at this moment, I still have runny nose, and I suspected that maybe I will get fever soon. And I blame it on my wet hair last night. Next time I need to be careful since it is easy to get sick in this time of the year ( fall season ). Anyway, I´m gonna stop now, and go to bed and get some rest and hoping tomorrow that I will be healthy again.

It would not be a bad
idea to take online nursing classes sometime, and at least become a clinical
assistant to my family.

Back Pain

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 19:55:30 PDT

Nowadays, I can´t sit in front of the computer for a long time because my back start to hurt. I don´t know why. I am surprised because it never happened before. I don´t sit in a wrong angle and I used this chair before, so I do not have any idea why my back start to hurt. My suspicious is, maybe there, something to do with my early pregnancy. I´m a bit sad because I cant stay as much as I wanted to my computer, because of my back pain it limit me to stay blogging/facebooking. I will talk my doctor about it, because it can be a serious or I am also curious why this is happening to me.

5 Nonprofit Teaching Organizations

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 10:19:14 PDT

To be a teacher means that you are a part of something bigger. If you want to truly make a difference in the life of the youth, then these organizations are a great way to do so.
1. American Federation of Teachers: They are what teachers stand for and they stand united in this organization. They have welcomed in non-teaching personnel but that is where the heart of this organization lies. They are full of teachers with a purpose and they stand to represent and to protect the teachers out there. This is an important organization to become a part of early on in your teaching career.

2. National Academy of Education: Though this group isn’t as discussed as others, it is an important one to be informed of. They are the group that creates and pushes policy for those within education and therefore they have some important things to say. If you want to understand the ins and outs of how things exist within the field of education as a whole, then this is the group to be a part of or at least be aware of.

3. National Education Association: This is a group that not only focuses on teachers but also on parents as well. This group welcomes in parents of students, teachers, and non-teaching personnel within education so it is a well rounded group. It exists to unite all of the forces that are at play during a child’s education and therefore it’s a very important group to exist. It’s a nice change of pace from other groups since so many aspects are covered.

4. National Parent Teacher Association: We’ve all heard of the PTA but we may not recognize just how important it really is. As teachers the relationship with parents is vital to their success and being. This unites the two groups and through a national nonprofit group it highlights what can be done and what is done within a school and abroad.

5. Consortium for School Networking: This is a very up and coming group and an important one to be a part of. This takes the newest and hottest issues in schools and points them out so that teachers, parents, and even students can be a part of solving them. It looks at the current landscape and gives everyone a voice through a great forum that teachers will enjoy being a part of.

Each nonprofit group offers very different things to a teacher. It’s important to be a part of these and to make a difference in the community that you teach within.

Mary M. Frederick enjoys blogging about the extensive career opportunities available with a master of arts in teaching.

Pink Apple laptop

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 08:03:25 PDT

I wish to have this pink laptop. I really want it. I have my pink netbook but I started to get tired of it, maybe I just want a new laptop that´s why I felt like that. I know I don´t need it, it just I want it. It is very big different between want and need. My husband saw another apple laptop photo on my phone, and he asked me why I took a photo of the laptop, and I said I want to have one like that, and that´s it. I don´t have any idea when I can own a laptop like this, maybe when I work or maybe I will never have it. Anyway it is like I am craving for this laptop, I just want it. Maybe I need to work to buy the things that I wanted specially that expensive one like this lol.

Boredom

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:09:45 PDT

Sometimes boredom strike us even how much we try to fight it. Like for example right now. I have been at my husband´s computer for three hours but I haven´t done anything. Just looking at my friends new photos in Facebook. I have so much to blog about, but my hands are to heavy to start to write about it, instead I started to write to post.

Many of you know that I am a newly mom and I seldom post in my blogs than usual because of luck of time, but this time, right at this moment, I am so free for couple of hours because both my husband and baby are sleeping but I am not in the mood to blog. Sometimes if I am into blogging, I can make a long post for only 10 to 15 minutes, but right now, I just cant do it.

The past days, we visited different kind of places out side Gothenburg border. We cannot do a long trip since my baby girl is just three months old and we both know that it will be difficult travel instead of enjoyable. We wait until next year, who knows maybe we will have our vacation in the Philippines. Let see if we have budget for that travel.

Maybe later or tomorrow I have the energy to post where we went the past days. I think I will have a bath to refresh my mind. So see you later guys.

Picnic time

noreply@blogger.com (S-H-Y) — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 14:26:00 PDT

Last week I often see my friends than normal, maybe because one of them is going to visit Philippines. We are always like that, what I mean is, when somebody in our group girlfriend going to visit Philippines, we try to hang out together before she fly to Philippines. It is same when she is going back because we are sure that she will bring dried fish which we all love and miss to eat.

The first attempt of going to picnic was successful but it was a bit chilly, it was not obvious on the photos, but trust me it was a bit cold for a picnic but we continue since we enjoy it. And who cares, we enjoy each other´s company.

And the next picnic was perfect, we even had the chicken, pork and fish barbeque. The last time one of us brought a grill material but it wasn´t use at all instead it was used the next picnic as you can see on the photos. It was sunny that time, and we don´t like the sun that´s why we are in the shade but not for Swedish people. During that picnic, there were few Swedish were sun bathing. It was so hot that it hurt the skin, and I felt it. I don´t understand those Swedish people who was sun bathing for few hours. I also learned, that we only need five minutes to be expose in the sun to get the vitamin D we need. Anyway we will see each other again tomorrow since one of our girlfriends just came home from a short vacation in Philippines. And she brought dried fish that´s one reason why we see each other tomorrow. I will try to post about it tomorrow evening. See you then.
