me now

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:50:00 +0000

What's up with me lately? Aside from checking out sites that offers affordable mattresses and bed casings, I'm also trying to figure out how to manage my time. Been so very busy with offline tasks and making my online life on the brink. I guess my multi tasking prowess is stressing me too much thus making me unable to do a lot of stuff. So there, got to find ways in order to make my life easy and burdens light :D

trick or treat

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:39:00 +0000

Yesterday was my daughter's third trick or treat experience at the mall. Mom and my aunt went around to search for stone sinks (probably on the house and home section) while my sister and I accompany the little Dutch girl on the mall's parade of costume and for the presentation on stage. Bit tiring to be honest, but worth every ache on our feet whenever we see the little brat super happy with the experience! Will definitely do this again next time!

cash register toy

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:02:00 +0000

One of the things inside the boxes that arrived earlier this month are Christmas gifts for the kids of my online friends. My friend also include a toy POS systems or better known as cash register - a mickey mouse inspired one for my little princess. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a snap of photo of that toy because I had to keep and hide it as soon as I can before my little girl sees and force me to open it. But since as I've said, it'll be given on Christmas eve, wrapped and complete with tag from Ninang Glo! :D

cruise insured

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:00:00 +0000

whenever my father speaks about his job in the Cruise ships,and i can't help but always fascinate with all the stories aboard. Papa, says that majority of his guests are elders from different states in the US, and i ask him, why would all people that the aged ones still goes out in a cruise, i mean, given their age that are mostly 70's to early 90's still manage to go on a shore vacation... they're health might be at risk. But papa said that is always with their doctor's approval that is why grannies and grandpops can still go ahead and enjoy the cruise. He also said that if not everyone, mostly of the aged passengers have their cheap health insurance, that is why even on and off the shore they are secured that they are in good hands. It is a good thing i must say to have this certain kind of security for them, they can still live their lives to the fullest by going on long vacation and have their minds free from worries of anything that might happen to them during those courses.

eat out with friends

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 17:04:00 +0000

Two days ago my friends Glen and Riyo were able to have a quick eat out/get together after years of not doing so! And as expected, we still love the same foods as before! In fact, we ordered three same main courses that are so heavy, we practically need the help of weight loss pill right after! Funny how we never cared when we were ordering a whole lot of stuff, but get so dismayed after realizing that we practically ate everything on our table! Hahaha! quite ironic. But nevertheless, we enjoyed each others company. We hope to that more often.

future plans

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:56:00 +0000

When asked about my long term plan, career wise, I often find myself speechless. Well, not that I don't have any plans at all, but the definite ones are just too vague for me as of now. Though the husband and I have plans of hopefully moving out and settling in another place of the earth and from there, we'll pick up from scratch. Most probably get a job that suits me and my experience, though I might try to apply as one of those business plan consultants or anything that has to do with business. A shoot in the moon to say as early as now I know. But we're definitely keeping our hopes up... for our family to have a brighter future ahead.

binged.

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:46:00 +0000

Guess what!? after promising myself to diet and eat less on dinner... I just failed it again. Finished a whole can of San Marino corned tuna in less than 10 minutes! after I have eaten a bowl of oatmeal and 2 small size of fried hotdogs. Now that's what you call binging! Crap, how will I be able to lose my huge belly fat if I don't follow my own rules when it comes to eating too much. Oh well. There's always tomorrow. Will and definitely start again.

aftermath of Ondoy

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 06:38:00 +0000

I still can't get over the Ondoy's wrath, in fact, browsing through photos and online sites that documented the catastrophic event is what keeps me busy - er, whenever I'm not blogging and all. I don't know why still can't get over it all, when people needs to move on. It's just to heart wrenching to see all those snaps and see how people got devastated with their everything went with the flash flood, seeing their properties even their cars - those high end expensive cars complete with all the flashing accessories like xenon lights fully submerged in the super high flood. Oh well, life and it's unpredicted turns.
So what to do now? aside from praying for those who got affected.. we still get help them by sharing our blessings. They still needs our donations and moral support. Have you done your share?!

book wish list

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:45:00 +0000

So I've made my bebot's exchange wish list, lots of books and a dvd copy of my favorite Twilight movie. But actually, if my mommy wouldn't be able to do so, like buying online the Amazon books on my list, I asked for a renewal of my flickr pro account - which is I think the easiest thing to do :D
Anyways, I'm still doing my book wish list by noting down my 'want-books' before the end of this year, yep yep, already planning of what to read next year, that's why! Now just so I won't forget, will swipe the photos from amazon, and maybe, a friend who's reading this is being so feeling kind - might get me a piece or two! woohoo! thanks in advance! ;)

need for a dentist

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 11:59:00 +0000

Currently reading about orange nj dentist article that I got from an email today. Quite impressive actually, since couple of friends even suggested that said dentist to our forum when somebody asked for dentist recommendation some weeks ago. Anyways, heard a lot of good raves about him and his special skills when it comes to teeth whitening and other procedure - which I think will be my savior when it comes my teeth problem. You see, I need a good professional that can make my teeth sparkling white! Oh how I wish.

tired and hungry me

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:16:00 +0000

Photo taken yesterday while we were waiting for our food to arrive at KFC. My liitle girl who just love playing on the slides gets the hang of climbing just like that and not using the ladder at all! Really freaking I must admit, but can't seem to tell her to stop because she keeps on repeating the strut over and over again! I was at first with her during the few minutes she was playing but can't seem to stay longer for I'm already feeling so tired from the running and all, though it was like an weight loss diet routine! But was too hungry to go on further. Had to stop and wish for my food to arrive fast! hahahaha

And after a few minutes of rest and waiting, it arrived hot and fresh! And let me tell you, it the food was really really good, next time try to order Roma Italia - one of KFC's rice bowl which is so smackingly yummy!

Discount hunt!

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:49:00 +0000

I know a lot of people are already thinking of what good and practical gifts we can give and how can we get great discounts on our buys. if only we have those special kinds of discount code like HSN coupon codes that we can use when we are going to purchase gifts and do our shopping. well, lucky are those who can access this kinds of deal whenever they are about to buy with accredited company or product. we all know that there are lots of e-commerce search that gives out different kinds of discounts and coupons like Adidas coupons is known to be the one that gives consumers thousands of useful discounts and ensures they pay less for the things they love!

Woke up at 3 this morning, to what? work on my online tasks and yes, wait for additional shower of tasks! Thank heavens I was able to catch more than enough of what I'm actually expecting, really happy and I feel so blessed! Was able to drink two cups of my coffee fix until I realized that my mattress is actually calling me back to sleep. So after finishing a batch of work load, I creep back and sleep to my heart's desire. And now, I am so back! recharged and ready to go back and yes, work again and talk to my dear husband who's enjoying his free day of work in KSA.

i just have to insert this before i resume to my regular blogging thing... guess what?! i just got $ 8 Rx eyeglasses site ! How You Can Start Spending Smart, is one of the things Zenni can do for you aside from being the home of the stylish prescription glasses online. where you can find huge selection of frames, with single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic)lens, tinted suglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. and from what i read, their prices are so budget friendly because they only sell their own manufactured frames direct to the customers, no middle man stores and on a strict advertising budget. my mom's eye glasses is needing to be change that's why i keep on looking for styles that would perfectly fit her face features. good thing there are sites like Zenni, My favorite high fashion eyeglasses!

shopping season starts now!

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:57:00 +0000

now that ive'd finally experience one cool way of shopping through the internet i think i'll be grabbing those famous promo codes for the discounts and great deals i can get from the items i want to shop like special tools and fashion items like Oakley glasses for the husband - thank heavens for Oakley coupons! and cutie dresses for the little girl from Baby Age, i heard their are giving out free shipping fees on a minimum purchase. ah, there's so much special offerings being given out by participating shops online making people more gaga on buying more. wish i have more funds do I can splurge some more so I can use my makeup.com codes for all my make up stuffs that I still need to buy and collect! woot!

web hosting?!

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:53:00 +0000

I know you heard about my inquiries for web hosts for my other non-active site. Been in and out of different websites that offers different bundles and packages for the domain and hosting of one's site. Then I found myself browsing through www.wpdesigner.com wherein I found a lot of stuff that could help me in building a new website. Plus the reviews and ratings chart they provided are very interesting indeed, being on the top as hosting providers, only means one thing, if you get your hosting from that site would simply make your life and your site a lot more effective and would probably get great cache and the likes. I also notice that there are many other types of hosting services that are available from them, from simple forum to email hosting and of course to what I am so interested with, blog hosting! And aside from the efficiency that they are promising, I can sense that they are also offering low cost pricing, compare to other hosting sites that would really scar your budget. With www.wpdesigner.com, they got bundles and packages to suit every one's need that is really affordable.

to turn back time

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 07:14:00 +0000

I remember during my working days when we used to hire third party auditing company to handle all the financial book keeping of the accounting department. And as far as I can remember it was a very sensible manner specially when they manually check each piece of receipts, contracts and other materials that has something to do with the report. And sometimes, I can't help but feel sad because I could have been one of them, if only I was able to pursue my first course in College. If only I studied harder and just focus on my studies I could have been working in Las Vegas Accounting Firm or anywhere fancy in another country! Though I know their works is not as easy as the others, but you know, that is why they are being paid off so well! oh men, how I wish I can turn back time and be a CPA!

I've mentioned on my other site about the Halloween costumes that I ordered from the US, two costumes actually for the little brat, a little confusion from choosing between the two cute outfits thus making Glo and I ordered both! We'd probably let her wear the other one next year since the size can cover up to 4 years old. Now the only thing we need to decide is what will be the 2009 costume for my daughter!

bath tub is love!

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:25:00 +0000

I just love dainty bathrooms! especially those that have walk in tubs, so inviting! It makes me want to dip and take time while enjoying the scent of candles and aroma therapy bubble bath! That is why, I am so thankful for my parents for letting us use of their appartment house, that has believe it or not, a tub! It was the nicest place in the house that I love, that is why whenever I'm stressed or anything after a long day, I make sure to dip and enjoy an hour or so while reading a book or magazine. Super relaxing and yes, I feel so sosyal! lol
Speaking of tubs and bathroom, I found this nice stripey walled bathroom from a site and I can't help but share it with you guys too :D

choco bars

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:25:00 +0000

this has been an overdue post of our KP Creations CHOCO BARS -- actually this was a rushed order and we have to get it done in three days time i think. anyways, it is still made of our Aerated Choco Bars that cost P35-50 each, complete with personalized wrapper. great for party souvenirs and give aways.

working abroad

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:12:00 +0000

My friend who will soon leave the country just messaged me a while ago and told me the things true friends can say to each other. I wasn't able to help myself but cry, who doesn't hate goodbyes right? and the fact that I just recently said good bye to my husband who has to work in another country too. It's just simply sad, no emotions can over power what we felt earlier. The only thing that keeps our hopes up is the fact that she can now step up to the ladder of success, and hopefully, when the right time comes, she'll also be able to make way and work at the prestigious Las Vegas Accounting Firm in the US - a renowned accounting firm that offers the finest service when it comes to that specialization.

One thing

noreply@blogger.com (♥ mommy author ♥) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:12:00 +0000

One thing is clear to me. You can't know everything you'd like to know. You can't do everything you'd like to do. You can't read anything you'd like to read. You must hold on to some things and let go of others. Learning to make that choice is one of the big lessons of this life.
