Super Sale!

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:55:00 +0000

Last weekend was crazy! Almost all the big stores had a super sale. From clothes, shoes, bedding, jewelry, kitchen appliances and accessories, electronics, computers, laptops, cameras, etc. - everything was on sale! I really had a hard time deciding where and what to shop. Glad I had my hubbykins to help me. He suggested I buy items for our families back home since our balikbayan box is due to be sent at the end of this month and it's not even full yet. If only I had enough money, I would have gotten my sister a new digital camera and my bro a netbook. But I was afraid of maxing out my credit card so I had to control myself from splurging.

What's For Dinner?

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:33:00 +0000

Chicken Sotanghon!

I'm glad the whole fam loved it. Even the lil boy enjoyed his share. He loved the soup and I also gave him some sotanghon noodles. But of course, I cut it into little pieces so it would be easier for him to chew it. As for the husband, well, he asked me to cook the same recipe again this week because he really likes it. He says it helps keep his body warm during this cold season.

And who am I to say no to my boys? Their wish is my command. :)

But I'm not going to spoil them with food all the time or else they'll be begging for slimming pills. LOL!

We Missed It!

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:37:00 +0000

There's a big sale going on at the electronics shop near our place so hubby and I went there last weekend. And my golly! The crowd at the shop was overwhelming! It seems like everyone in WV are there. We should have gone there a little earlier because we missed the chance to take home a 55-inch LCD HDTV for half the price! It was really crazy. And that's not all, the store even threw in free installation of tv mounts for every purchase. Who wouldn't go gaga with that kind of offer, right? But then we're late. Duh! Early birds get the worms.

Most of the U.S. observed Daylight Savings Time yesterday. Is it easy or difficult for you to switch your body clock? Do you suffer from jet lag when traveling?
~ It wasn't easy but it wasn't difficult either. I am still adjusting until now. And yeah, I do suffer from jetlags. I am not a seasoned traveler... yet.

If you had to pick one place in your town to bring a tourist, where would you go?
~ The Bonneville Salt Flats.

The Bonneville Salt Flats are so flat, you can see the curvature of the earth and if there is any water in the form of rain, there is no real place for it to go, so it pools in the areas that are fractions of an inch deeper than other areas.

When you travel away from home, do you miss it?
~ All the time...

Admirable

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:07:00 +0000

I admire all those moms who after giving birth went back to their pre-pregnancy weight without the help of any weight loss pills. How I wish I can do the same but it's really hard. I have tried skipping dinner but I always end up sneaking in our kitchen to get some food in the middle night. And I got caught by the husband doing this not just once but twice already. Tsk! My diet plan is not working. I guess it's time to switch to a more effective way to lose weight. Any suggestions?

Motto In Life

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:04:00 +0000

I was able to watch Wowowee last Halloween and when Willie asked one of the kids what his motto in life is, he answered: "DON'T TALK WHEN YOUR MOUTH IS FULL."

Kakaaliw. Hehe.

I just hope the TFC Box we ordered will be here soon so I can watch more Pinoy aliw moments. :)

I Want Straight Teeth!

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:05:00 +0000

When I had my braces removed early this year, my dentist asked me if I am interested in wearing invisalign. That was the first time I heard of it so he showed me an Orange NJ invisalign flyer to give me an idea what it's all about. And from what I learned from that flyer, invisalign is a series of clear plastic “aligners” that are custom made to fit your teeth and mouth and is worn for 2-3 weeks all day and night to help straighten your teeth and enhance your smile. Well, it sounds promising and I like the fact that I don't have to go see my dentist every month to have it tightened. But I need more information so I already set up another appointment to talk to my dentist about the treatment.

What Color of the Rainbow Are You?

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 07:14:00 +0000

I'M ORANGE
You are a creative, interesting person who's always looking to spice things up. You are a little wild! You love new endeavors and adventures. You are fearless, and you love the thrill of doing something completely foreign to you.

You are spontaneous, and you sometimes end up doing the strangest things. If you have a gut feeling, you just go with it. You may be a bit eccentric, but your enthusiasm is catching. People want to live as freely as you do.

Incentives

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 06:50:00 +0000

This year, hubby received a couple of business gifts from the company he is working at because they ranked first among Medical Facilities in Fortune Magazine`s List of Most Admired Companies. He even received a monetary incentive for all the hard work he has done! And quite frankly, we were surprised by that gesture because with the rate the economy is falling down, a cash bonus is the last thing companies would want to splurge on. But they did! So perhaps, that's one of the main reasons why they are considered the best. ;)

Social Interview

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 06:47:00 +0000

If your house caught fire, and you could only save one thing (excluding people), what would it be?

~ Our passports and other important documents! It's placed in one envelope so it's still considerd "one thing" right? ;)

Heartbreaking...

noreply@blogger.com (Chikai) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 06:35:00 +0000

I just saw a documentary about people suffering from malignant Mesothelioma and it really broke my heart. :(

Seeing those people "waste" away slowly and painfully was too much for me to bear so I switched it off because I am starting to get emotional as well as my MIL. Were both grieving for the loss of a loved one and I don't think it's emotionally healthy for us to watch something that's sad and depressing. So I switched it off because the last thing we need right now is a downer.

Lazy Blogger

Geez! I really need to work on improving my blog stats especially on this blog. I've been a negligent owner that's why this blog remained to be PR-less for almost a year now. I need to start looking for the best web directory so I can submit my blogs and drive traffic in return. It's been so long since the last time I did this so if you have any recommendations or suggestions, please feel free to do so by leaving a comment on this post. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

"Gusto ko maging karpintero para makagawa ako ng tulay papunta sa puso mo."
"kaya mo ba akong murahin? kasi kung hindi.. MAHALIN mo na lang ako.."

Sobrang cheesy diba? Hehe!

My aunt who lives in Florida with her husband sent me a flyer via email featuring the latest fort lauderdale hotels deals. She knew I wanted to visit Florida and she's helping me find a good deal. Hopefully I will be able to visit them next year because my cousin who just got his petition papers approved will be there too. It is going to be a happy family reunion for us if I pursue with my vacation plans. I just hope work will continue to pour in so I can save enough money! :)

How are you all doing? I hope you're all doing well! :) As for me, I'm feeling great! my family and I just got home from a short vacation in Las Vegas.
