Blizzard 2011

2011-02-01T20:29:00.002-06:00

Wow! The snow started at around 2:00 and still hasn't stop. The wind is blowing like 35mph and it's a total white out here in the Chicagoland. The meteorologists said that we're expecting around 18-20 inches of snow, 24 inches even. I hope everyone is home. Stay warm and safe. I feel bad coz my husband has to go to work. :( Wish he could just stay home with us.

Last Day

2011-01-21T20:35:00.001-06:00

Today is my last day at work. I work at the daycare center. I love my job and the kids, however, it's sometimes overwhelming. Yup! It sure could give you a headache when 10 kids are crying all at the same time, sometimes even more lol... What are you gonna do? They are babies... love 'em I'd actually miss them much, especially my fave kids... ssshhhh.. love them all but I do have fave... really! :)

So what are you all gonna do? For us, we are staying at home, watch the countdown on t.v later on. My sister is downtown right now with friends. They'll be spending the NYE at one of the cruise ships in Navy Pier. I know she will have a great time watching the fireworks display. Anyway, enjoy and be safe!

Can't Wait

2010-12-27T14:51:00.000-06:00

My son and I can't really wait for it to be 6 o'clock p.m. Why? Because today is my sister's arrival from Egypt. I have not seen her for almost 10 years so I am really, really excited! :) Kuletz don't even wanna go to school coz he wants to go straight to the aiport lol! He'll be meeting his Aunt for the very first time and so he's really excited. Anyway, they will have plenty of time together.. My sister will be staying here till January 14th. It'll be fun!

Happy Christmas!

2010-12-25T09:12:00.001-06:00

Hey everyone! Just wishing you a wonderful Christmas. Spend it with your loved ones and enjoy every minute of it. I will be cooking dinner in a few minutes and will relax after that :) Happy Holidays!

Oh Please!

2010-12-13T07:10:00.000-06:00

Oh please! No snow! I heard on the news that it's supposed to snow today that would accumulate to about 4-5 inches. I love snow, however I don't wanna drive on it, coz most of the time the roads are slippery and you can't control your vehicle. It's just not fun, but I still like to play with it
ehehehehe

Around The Corner

2010-12-01T07:17:00.000-06:00

It's just so unbelievable how time flies! It's December 1st already. Christmas is just right around the corner and 2010 is almost over. We haven't had any Christmas decorations yet. Hubby usually puts up the tree after Thanksgiving, I'm not sure if he's gonna do it this year. We'll see! Anyways, I'm getting ready to go to work and just wanted to say enjoy your day!

Hungry

2010-11-30T02:49:00.000-06:00

It's 2:49 a.m. and I can't sleep... I have to wake up at 6:30 a.m. to get ready for work and get my son ready for school. I am hungry and I am craving for some Chinese food... I haven't had some Chinese food in a while. I want some Mongolian beef and some beef lo mein :P That's why I can't lose weight lol! Food is always on my mind.. Heck! Eating is better than dieting lol! :)

Happy Thanksgiving !

2010-11-25T19:55:00.000-06:00

I just wanted to say that this is one of the most awesome Thanksgiving ever! I am very thankful for all the good things (and not so good things) that's happening in my life right now, but most of all I am so thankful that I PASSED the CNA state exam! All my efforts, sleepless nights doing homework has finally paid off :) Yay! Now I can sleep a little bit better :) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I don't know if these photos were taken last June or July... this was taken at Lake Michigan. They are feeding the seagulls and it's fun to watch coz some seagulls are so selfish and territorial lol! After feeding them, we realized that we're not supposed to feed them! yaiks!

daddy and son

I guess he's trying to show off his dimples lol :P

Busy Bee

2010-11-11T21:27:00.000-06:00

I've been a busy bee since the first week of October. I am thankful that my director approved my request of working part-time. Why? Because I wanted to go to school to get into a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) program. Anyway, I was able to make it to the program and finished it on my target date. I've also been busy reviewing to take the state exam which is actually tomorrow, November 12, 2010. I'm a little anxious, nervous and excited! Crossing my fingers to hopefully pass the darn thing!

Just Cute

2010-11-05T15:34:00.000-05:00

This is just some of my son's drawings. I think he has a lot of potential :) He said the picture is about him... he's at the lake fishing... it really looks like his fishing rod and see the bait? lol! It's just so cute! I am sure he can't wait for the summer to come because fishing is one of his favorite things to do.

Happy Halloween!

2010-10-31T14:50:00.000-05:00

Enjoy your trick or treating tonight... just be careful and check all the treats first before letting your kids eat it. Have a safe one!

Sports Detergent ?

2009-01-02T20:16:00.002-06:00

I am not so aware that there's such thing as sports detergent... but here's a conversation from dNeero about it.

Happy New Year

2009-01-01T18:21:00.004-06:00

Happy New Year everyone! Che invited me and my family to spend the New Year's Eve at their house but my two boys didn't wanna go. I felt bad but hubby said I can go without me feeling guilty so I went. It was fun! I was able to see some of our friends from the north side of Chicago. And talk about the food! Geez! A lot of food! I will post some pictures soon. As for now, I'm off to bed because I am still sleepy :)

Better But...

2008-12-28T21:15:00.000-06:00

Since December 23rd, I have not been feeling well. I can't believe I was sick on Christmas day. I found a bit of energy to cook a wonderful dinner for my family though. After having dinner with my hubby and son, I went straight to bed and rested. I missed and still miss hugging and kissing the men of my life coz up to this time I still have the "remnants" of this horrible cold. I am feeling better though.

Merry Christmas

What I Do

2008-12-17T17:53:00.000-06:00

When I don't feel like doing anything online, one of my favorite past times is to play computer games. Cake Mania is one of my favorites. It's not my ultimate fave but still, I like playing it once in a while :) Here's a Cake Mania 2 screenshot, there's Jill.

In Cake Mania 1, Jill rescued her grandparents' bakery. In Cake Mania 2, she's trying to help her friends Posh and Jack with their bakeries. It's fun! :) 200 levels and 6 possible endings.

Trying

2008-12-14T17:40:00.000-06:00

Lately, I never had much time to drop ECs because of my second WAH job. I am trying though. But it's a bit frustrating when every time I'd find time to do it, the EntreCard site is just too slow. Very frustrating. I lost regular droppers because of that cause I can't return the favor to them. *sigh*

Leverage

2008-12-11T06:24:00.002-06:00

Since one of my fave shows next season will start on January, I found another series that's worth watching (at least for me :D). It's the new series on TNT entitled Leverage starring Academy Winner Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge. Their pilot episode was shown commercial free last December 6. With that first episode, I think I like it and will probably watch it religiously. I am not so familiar with the actors and actresses but they did pretty well.

About the Show: (excerpts from the website www.tnt.tv)

"The series follows a team of thieves, hackers and grifters who act as modern-day Robin Hoods, taking revenge against those who use power and wealth to victimize others.

Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Timothy Hutton, Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge

In LEVERAGE, Hutton plays former insurance investigator Nate Ford, a once-loyal corporate employee who had recovered millions of dollars in stolen goods for his employer. But when that employer denied his son’s insurance claims and allowed the boy to die, he realized he could no longer work for such an entity.

Out of work and descending into alcoholism, Ford is hired by an aeronautics executive to recover airplane designs the executive claims were stolen by a rival company. Helping him are four highly skilled team members: Parker (Beth Riesgraf – Alvin and the Chipmunks), an expert thief; Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge – Friday Night Lights), a specialist in Internet and computer fraud; Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane – Into the West), a high-octane “retrieval specialist” who can take out a gang of henchmen without breaking a sweat; and Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman – Coupling), a grifter who could win awards for her acting skills during difficult scams. At first the newly formed team is hesitant to trust each other after so many years working alone but being double-crossed changes the dynamic, ultimately forcing them to unite. They emerge from the job realizing they are far better working together than apart. Once they discover they can trust each other the group targets their cons toward the richest, the greediest and the most unjust."

It's A Pain, But A Must

2008-12-09T18:21:00.003-06:00

Men! I'm getting a headache. I just did my usual thing with my son here. We just finished one of the lessons from the book entitled Teach Your Child How To Read in 100 Easy Lessons. So far, we are in Lesson 15. My, my, my, it is a pain to teach him because there are instances that he wouldn't pay attention so I have to like do something to get his attention. Sometimes I feel like he's testing me on how far my patience could go. Also, there are times that I would just like to stop and forget about it, but he's the one who's gonna suffer at the end. But anyway, once he pays attention he gets the lesson pretty quick, so we're all good. :) I just don't like the headache that goes with it :P
