Their office was moved downtown

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:24:12 PST

We were supposed to have our daughter’s birth certificate done yesterday but unfortunately the administration office was moved to another location. They used to have office in Chula Vista. There were noticed on their door on where to find their offices, one is in down town and there is also in San Marcors which is too far from us and there is one in Elcajon. We’ve chosen the downtown because that’s closer to us. We decided to locate their location downtown that way it will be easier for us to go there tomorrow. We found the building and it was a huge building. I think that was their main office because my husband said that that’s where he got his birth certificate too. I hope there wont be a long line tomorrow.

Good morning

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:27:19 PST

Wazzzz up? It’s Tuesday and we’re already in the middle day of this week. Today is my husband’s Friday at work because tomorrow is his day off and we’re going to be busy. We have some appointments to go to and we’ll probably have a little family time off too. We might go to Horton plaza downtown; it’s just another mall hopping for us. Oh, it’s been awhile that I haven’t wandered in that mall, so it’s about time to stroll around and who know I might find something interesting or they might have a huge sale on something like clothes or shoes. But I’ll try to just window shop for now because our budget is so tight. I’m keeping my finger cross lol.

Great holiday gift ideas

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:38:11 PST

It's that time of the season again and I'm sure many consumers are driving around town shopping for the latest and greatest gifts for Christmas. But with skyrocketing prices and the economy not doing so well, many are cutting back on spending. You can save some serious money and not break your wallet this year at zenni optical. Every day they are New Arrivals are coming in and they have many styles and selections to choose from at great discounted prices. They can offer these low prices because they cut out the middleman. Now is the perfect time to check out their large selection of Holiday Fun Eyeglasses that are perfect for that special loved one or family member. I purchased some prescription eye glasses last year because i was tired of spending so much money for eye wear so i tried ordering a pair of their $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses to see how they measured up and so far I've received so many positive reviews and compliments. I'm happy with my eye glasses and will seek zenni for all my eye wear in the future.

New shoes for my boys

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:42:01 PDT

We went to payless shoesource yesterday because I got some %50 off coupons from watching Oprah the other day. It was Christian (big winner for runway designer reality show) who gave those coupons to all the home viewers and studio audiences of Oprah that day. That’s what I love about watching Oprah shows. Last time Oprah gave a coupons for a KFC grilled chicken and I was able to avail that too. I bought shoes for my boys because they needed it more than I do. My husband needs a working shoe so bad because he showed me his old shoe and it looks terrible. My son also is already outgrowing his tennis shoe. I’m glad they both have new pair shoes now. Thanks Oprah for the coupons because I was able to save $30 something!

Dinner with our in-laws

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:25:22 PDT

My in-laws invited us over tonight for dinner. They’re going to make their specialty, the authentic homemade spaghetti. My husband says they make the best spaghetti and I can’t wait to try it. I’m not really a pasta person but occasionally I do eat some, not a lot though. Well, we were suppose to have spaghetti last time before my other sister-in-law went home to Texas but I guess they were so busy at that time and they weren’t able to prepare all the ingredients. They ended up ordering pizzas for our dinner instead. So they told us that they owe us the spaghetti and were going to have it tonight.

Candlelight party

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:56:07 PDT

The manager of our apartment ordered 200 pcs. Lumpia and he want us to cook it for Monday. I hope my newborn will cooperate with me tonight so I can start wrapping and get them ready so I won’t have to do it tomorrow anymore. He said that he invited some friends for his candle demonstration and we were invited too. I think he’s selling candles but I’m so curious about it because why does he need to demonstrate it if it’s just a regular candles. So interesting huh? We’ll see what kind of candle he is talking about and I will let you know guys. I better get started now with my lumpia wrapping so it’ll be done hopefully tonight.

Use Attorney for Loan Modification

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:38:43 PDT

Beware of the scammers! With an increasing number of house foreclosure's many home owners these days are becoming so desperate to get some help to save their dream house but unfortunately some of these home owners get scammed because they seek help to the wrong people. Thousands of people have fallen victim to loan modification scams so the FBI has started taking steps to shut down these scammers before they rip off anyone else. We don't own a home but i keep hearing the same thing over and over again when people seek help at a company for loan modification. Many company's are asking for a fee up front before they will even begin to help the applicant but the truth is that if these company's are asking for a fee up front, a red flag should go up inside your head because you shouldn't have to pay a fee upfront to get help for a loan modification until after the initial consultation. What is a loan modification scam? Its when a modification company offers there services to help get your application approved but request an up front fee. After you give them a fee they are supposed to help your case but they usually end up disappearing after that. Sometime they will give you calls to update you on your case or to request more money but it's all just a ruse. There are never good results and there is little you can do to protect yourself besides not dealing with them at all. Don't fall for it! The other sign it's a scam is when the loan modification company calls you first as opposed to you calling them for help. Any phone calls, solicitation, or mail from company's you've never dealt with in the past are all bad news and should be avoided. You can search online for other home owners who have experiences with this problem and have dealt with reputable company's or you can seek the services of American Residential Law Group .

They are a reputable company with many years experience and can provide you with the legal advice you need. They follow strict company values like: Honesty, Respect, Timeliness, Diligence, Integrity, Empathy and Compassion.

Mom’s health update

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:10:13 PDT

My mother-in-law is a lot better now compared to the last time we saw her when she was still in the ICU. She was transferred to a regular room yesterday and we’re glad because the hospital that she’s at right now is closer to us, we can visit her anytime when we want to. She’s pretty much stable now, although, her lungs have some fluid still and her artery has some blockage. The doctor said that they can’t perform any surgery anymore because she probably won’t make it and besides my mother-in-law signed that she doesn’t want to have lifesaving treatments anymore. It’s sad to hear that but we can’t do anything because it’s her decision. She’s probably tired physically and mentally thinking about her sicknesses. We just pray that she’ll get better and recover for good so she can still enjoy her life with her new grandchildren.

The siblings

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:14:17 PDT

Finally my husband saw all his biological siblings. They all get to see each other but under horrible circumstances (their mom is very sick). As I am looking at the photo I realize that they all have one resemblance and that is their chin. My husband thought he is the tallest among the boys but when he saw his brothers he realize that he’s now a mediate which is funny. From right to left is the eldest to the youngest, so my hubby is the firstborn.

Breakup

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:46:53 PDT

Ouch! My aunt broke up with her fiancé a few days ago. She told me that she can’t take it anymore because her fiancé started to be controlling over her life even though they’re not married yet. She said he wants her to stay in the house all the time instead of going out with friends, he don’t want my aunt to be wearing pants because of religious reason and etc… My aunt got fed up with his demands so she phoned him and call it quits. My aunt decided to return all the stuff that he bought for her like the gold jewelries, phone, engagement ring and more. Well, I’m glad that she learns about the true character of that guy before they’re married. I think she's dating with another man right now (who accordingly kneeled down in public to ask her to marry him). All I can say to my aunt is collect and collect then select.

Sleepy with slight headache

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:29:55 PDT

I have sleepless nights these last few days because for one thing we always come home late at night from my in-laws house and another thing is when my newborn wakes up and cry for milk. My husband’s siblings are in town, they flew in to see my ill mother-in-law and their reunion as well. I tried to take naps but I ended up waking with headaches and eye soaring from drowsiness. I need some spa treatments here lol. Anyways, I will just take some paid meds to help alleviate the fatigue that I’m having right now.

Mellow Yellow Monday #39

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:29:58 PDT

Mellow Yellow Monday once again and here’s my entry. My daughter is getting big each day. Still haven’t had good night sleeps because she wakes up 3 hours every after feeding her. Although she’s not colic baby, which is a great advantage on my part otherwise she’ll be up most of the night crying like other colic babies. Anyways, happy viewing and have a nice week ahead guys!

Kitchen Makeover for a friend

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 20:10:28 PDT

First and foremost I would like to say thank you to my high school friend Zaida who happens to be my loyal visitor and reader to this blog and who is now residing in Fernie, British Columbia. She’s actually been there for years now and we started getting in touch when I found her in one of the social networks online and up to this time we trade news about our life. Anyways I have to tell her some good news about this kitchen makeover that mapleleaf.com is giving away. I’m sure she will be excited to join their contest because she wanted to have her kitchen makeover for awhile now and according to her she doesn’t have enough budgets to do that so she kept on putting it on hold. This contest is so timely for her, so she’ll definitely join this. Well the reason why their giving away a $32,000 Dream Kitchen and 12 Frigidaire fridges is because they are launching their new website. I have to tell my friend that she needs to enter her email every day until December 15 of this year so she will have more chances of winning.

I love their website because they provide easy-to-make meal ideas which my husband and I are getting excited to try those easy meals and not only that they also have recipes, coupons as well as useful tips in cooking and etc…. I wish I could join the contest so I can beautify my kitchen if ever I win but unfortunately this contest is for Canadian residents only. So what are YOU (Canadian residents) waiting for? Check out their website and join today!

Looking @ The Sky # 44

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 10:14:10 PDT

TGIF… Wow! Its Friday again and today is already the second day of the month. I can’t wait for January because that’s the month where we can get our tax refund again lol. Anyways, “looking at the sky #44” now and today’s entry was taken last year. That apartment is right in front of our apartment.

Thanks!

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:24:01 PDT

We had our baby shower party yesterday and it was successful. I just want to say thanks to all our friends for giving us all those baby stuff; it will definitely help us a lot. Anyways, on our way home I ask my husband if we could stop by at our old place and see our old friends. We’re glad that our old friends were home when we got there and we’re so happy to show them our new baby. They said that they just got home from the beach. We saw their beach bikes outside their patio and we so we thought they were biking on the beach. My husband is actually looking for used beach cruisers for sale and hopefully he can find one soon.

I'm reading about web hosting...

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:09:07 PDT

I am just one of those many bloggers out there aiming to monetize my blogs to earn something while staying at home. Through blogging I’ve come to learn many things especially when it comes to internet marketing. And I’m still learning everyday about how to improve my blog static’s. I want my blogs to have page rank and I’m working hard on it. I’m reading some tips on how to choose the right seo to help optimize my site. I also thought about web site hosting because most of my blogger friends bought their own hosting and based from their experience they were saying that there’s a lot more advantage if you host your own blogs. They were encouraging me to buy my own hosting as well. I might buy one of these days but I have to look for the cheaper one yet they provide the best web hosting and will assure me of their quality service.

I was reading the top 10 web hosting reviews at webhostinggeeks.com and seems like the Inmotion Hosting is on top of their list. What I like about web hosting geeks is that they rank the web hosting providers by reliability, uptime, key features, bonus features, customer support, past and current user feedbacks, user-friendliness and hosting awards that the providers have received. I will surely recommend their website to my blogger friends.

Mellow Yellow Monday #37

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:21:46 PDT

It's time for Mellow Yellow Monday once again and today my entry will be my first baked dessert (peach tart). I saw this dessert that was baked by Paula and I though I want to try it since it look easy to do it. And so I did and it came out pretty good and tasty. I was so proud of my self because my husband loves it.

I'm positive about stem cell

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 12:41:26 PDT

I just gave birth to a healthy baby girl 3 weeks ago and I want to thank all our friends and family who prayed for my safe and normal delivery. I also want to extend my gratitude to my OB Doctor and his stuff for taking care of me and my baby in my entire pregnancy. I also want to thank those nurses in the hospital where I gave birth for giving me such a wonderful comfortability and etc… Despite the long hours of labor's I've had, I can say that it was all worth it because my baby came out to be healthy and she is so adorable too. We’re proud parents of two (boy and girl) adorable kids.

Anyways, day after I gave birth I was given all kinds of papers; information about the newborn and they also gave me a brochure about C'elle innovative service. I am actually familiar about this service because I’ve read about it many times online. And for the benefit of those who are not aware of it; well C’elle is like a healthcare and wellness investments wherein an expected mother can donate some chord blood stem cell and the C’elle Company will preserve it for future healthcare use. Menstrual fluid also can be collected because it has a greater factor to give life to those people who have life threatening disease such as alziemers, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and a lot more. You can also read more information about their service at C'elle Blog and find out more about how they were able to help a lot of ill people through stem cells. I am very much positive about the stem cell research and you have my support.

Baby shower party today

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 10:23:50 PDT

Today is the day that we all are waiting for. I’m anxious and excited to see all the friends from our congregations and their gifts for my daughter too. I’m sure we will have a lot of fun today; I’ll share some photos later on for you to see. And like I said in my previous posts that I’m going to be busy today because I had to prepare my kids and cook the pancit and lumpia before my husband comes home from work. We have to be ready before hubby comes home because we have to be at the party before 4pm this afternoon.

Today's flower # 59

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 10:08:22 PDT

---

I have no idea what’s the name of these flowers. I love flowers don’t get me wrong but I can only name few of them. Aren’t they pretty? I have to hunt more flowers from now on so I will have entries every Sunday. Thanks for viewing and have a nice weekend to everyone!

Fun day for employees

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:28:01 PDT

My husbands was telling me that his work was recently sponsoring a day of fun for the employees with a paint ball sporting event up in Escondido. Any employee is welcome to come but there was a entrance fee of 100.00 per person but that covered your paint ball gun, 500 paint balls, full protective gear, arena rental fee, and insurance. If you have your own paint ball gun and equipment you are allowed to bring that instead. My husband said that his coworker is seriously into the paint ball sports and wants to check out the store to see some of the Proto Rail Paintball Guns. My husband says his coworker has one proto paint ball gun but wants to upgrade to a better model. I can't believe the cost of the paintball guns. You can really spend some serious money if your into the sport like my husbands coworker is.

Crying competition

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:01:33 PDT

Oh my goodness when both of my kids demands attention at the same time I just want to cover my ears and cry especially when I’m alone because my husband is at work. I want to click the pause button so their crying will stop for a moment and so I can sit down in the corner and meditate before I go crazy. I want to be mentally and emotionally capable so I can go back to face the real world once again. It’s really hard to have a toddler and infant at the same time because it will make you crazy.

Son’s playmate

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:52:28 PDT

These kids are our neighbor's. They’re Filipinos and they’re my son’s playmates. Actually we had their parent’s baby sit our son when I was in the hospital having our second child. We gave them money of course even though they didn’t want us to pay them. We were confident knowing that our son will not cry when he’s with them because he will have fun with the other kid's, that’s why we left him their. Thanks to our neighbor!

Vending machines

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:49:37 PDT

Honestly speaking I didn’t know what a vending machine was until I arrived here in the United States. We didn’t have this vending machine business back home in the Philippines, well, at least not that I know off. Maybe there are vending machines in some other parts of our country but not in the province where I grew up because I’ve never seen one. Here in the states, they’re more advanced in technology so they have all kinds of gimmick's when it comes to making money. Actually almost everywhere here you will find vending machines, even inside the store itself and usually it’s available in the workplace area too. Manufacturer's will do anything to sell their product.

Back to lumpia making

noreply@blogger.com (Jerla Oh lalala) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:04:25 PDT

We have no choice but to start mixing the lumpia ingredients and wrap them all tonight because we will bring some of it to my baby shower party tomorrow. We didn’t promise them that we will bring some lumpia and pancit but we just thought it will greatly be appreciated if we surprise them with our cooking to make them happy too. And besides we also promised to the staff of my OB’s clinic that we will bring some goodies for them just a way of saying thank you for their good service to us. So might as well just make the lumpia ones and for all. We’re gonna be tired tonight.
