Pop Ups of My Mind

Finally Figured It Out

Nicquee — Wed, 01 May 2013 17:34:36 +0000

After so much whining and complaining about how slow sapphire, this laptop, has become, I finally gave in and gave it another reformat. When all is set and I was already fixing my back up files, I noticed that my WD External hard drive was not showing properly in My Computer. It showed like this icon. The OC me was so bothered by this incorrect icon and I cannot proceed with fixing my files. I was getting frustrated already and I was kind of lazy to read fixes available online. I read one about creating an autorun file from a [...]

Where Should I Start?

Nicquee — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:34:09 +0000

Many things have happened and now I do not know where I should start blogging. I have been on a hiatus for so long and I must break it now. But I do not know where to start. Maybe I should organize things first. Make a list then gather the photos and edit them, upload and write their stories. Ok. That is the game plan.

He is risen! Come on and celebrate! Happy Easter, everyone! I had one of the most fruitful Holy Week and I hope you too. I pray to God, that the lessons I learned may stay with me as long as I live and may He help me practice these learnings in my everyday life. The girls had two firsts this Easter celebration, they witnessed the Salubong rites and Ate Alex got to be an angel who threw flowers to Mary and Jesus. I am so proud of them! A full post on that will follow. May we all feel in [...]

Summer Activity: Get to Know the Disney Princesses

Nicquee — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 01:50:47 +0000

Not so recently, I and my college girlfriends had an overnight get together. Of course, living in the other side of the metro, Gracey and I were early at Aimz’s abode. When we arrived, she was still very busy preparing our feast which included penne carbonara, chicken roll, cheese sticks and crema de fruta. While she was busy in the kitchen, the television was playing Beauty and the Beast for the kiddos of her stay-out helper. And as she was cooking, she sang the songs from the movie. That struck me. I realized that Alex only knows the names of [...]

I Miss Being a Techie Mom

Nicquee — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 02:03:14 +0000

Maybe TECHIE is not the appropriate term as I am not the geeky-techie type. How would you say “someone who understands some techie stuff” in a term? Remembering my college years, my friend, Teejay, would always tease me to shift courses from Business/IT to purely IT. He says my brain can be put to better use if I take up purely IT. But I was too chicken and the thought of having so many Math subjects scares me. (I did not know I will encounter worse in my Business/IT course as we were given five Accounting subjects!) After college, my [...]

Stocks and Supplies

How did it started, I cannot really remember. All I know is that when I was single, I was not like this. Not that I am bragging, but among us siblings, I am probably the most domesticated one. I can run a home and manage it smoothly. Thanks to my active mom, I was trained this way. But when I got married, my being domesticated took the back seat for a while and I am so glad it is slowly creeping to the front seat again now. Thanks to times without house helps, I am reminded to stand up on [...]

Change Shift

Nicquee — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:02:44 +0000

Those words are synonymous! Hahaha! So maybe March is still not the start of my blogging year. It’s first week started with Alex’s final exams and yeah, we were really busy reviewing, thus no post. After her three day exams, they resumed to their regular schedule but had to undergo another change of shift yesterday. This whole week, Alex’s school schedule is 7:30am, as a preparation for their graduation on Saturday. OMG, by June, we already have a grade-schooler!!!! Can we pause the time for a while, please???? Ok, save the sentiments for now. If you’ve been reading my posts, [...]

Seasonal Clothes on Sale

Nicquee — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 05:14:45 +0000

Did you ever observe that when a season is over, clothes for that season will be on sale? I remember some of my friends who shopped for winter clothes during summer time. And that saved them several hundreds of dollars. So the best time to shop for jackets, scarves, gloves, and other winter clothes will be during the summer of the spring break. A friend shared to me one time that she was able to grab a columbia jackets on sale at their nearest Walmart and she also drag a couple of her girlfriends and they buy one for themselves [...]

It’s Shopping Time!

Nicquee — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 05:11:21 +0000

Summer is here and it means there is a long break from school. We are spared of the extra effort in waking up every morning to prepare our kids to school. As a mom, I do look forward to times like this. Even though the hubby will still be going to work in the morning, but adults are easier to handle than little ones who wishes they could sleep more. Aside from extended morning hours sleep, going shopping will be one thing I am going to do with my shopping buddy. We have seen a grindmaster sale notice online and [...]
