Anne's Disorganized Thoughts

Always Prepared

2012-02-17T18:42:00.002-06:00

My husband loves buying batteries in bulk. Batteries including duracell procell 9V and other brands of different sizes that he can use with electronics that need battery. The main reason why he buys in bulk just because he can save some money in bulk whereas buying it individually. He has a lot of batteries stored in one bag because if one electronic runs low battery he would just go get one without leaving in the house and drive elsewhere just to get some batteries. It's a good idea too to keep them always handy because in times of black out or emergency we can have something to use to light our way.

My Parents

2012-02-17T18:13:00.000-06:00

I scanned some old photos of our wedding 7 years back and I saw there is one shot of my parents. Who would have thought that my father would die 7 years after he handed his daughter to a foreign man. Yet I still consider myself lucky because my father was still around and was able to walk with me in the aisle during my wedding.

My marriage to my husband was the beginning of my close relationship to my father blossomed. If it wasn't because of it, I don't know if me and him will share that bond a father and daughter should share. I don't think I was close to either of my parents when I was growing up because they were both busy with bringing home some money so the family had something to eat while the mother have always been busy with other kids and her chores.

Ease Of Transport

2012-02-13T09:53:00.000-06:00

Amazing how America makes everything easy for everybody. One example of it is the high technology that people can very well afford to buy or take advantage off. Another one is the use of medical cart in hospitals, dental clinics or other medical establishments. Medical carts are designed to be that way, with easy four movable wheels and plenty of shelves to put medicines and other stuff the patient can use.

Alloc Original

2012-01-31T11:11:00.000-06:00

My gut is telling me that something is wrong with the guy whom we signed contract with for our roofing. We have been waiting on him to do our roof for 3 months now yet nothing happen as of this writing. We cannot move on to another home renovation project unless our roof which is the major job of all is done. Once it is over, we can then have our kitchen floors started and contact people that would replace the old flooring into a new one.

Right now, I am also browsing for laminate flooring online and I find alloc original to be the best of all sites I've opened so far. ALLOC ORIGINAL laminate flooring is made out of High Pressure Laminate (HPL) and provides a well balanced & stable floor with chip-resistant edges and superior impact resistance. This premium laminate flooring comes with a build-in underlayment reducing sound, and saving time and money during installation.

Life Is Precious

2012-01-30T10:43:00.001-06:00

I hated my brother so much for being the way he is. He grew up following the wrong path of life. I don't blame my parents for him for I knew they tried their best to lead this person to the good path of life but it was him who chose to be what and how he is now. He is addicted to drug, shabu as we call it in the Philippines and I think they call it here, cocaine.

Anyway, I heard from my sister and mother he broke into our house a couple of weeks ago and got my father's some cash in USD denomination and some Japanese yens. I knew my father pretty well, he did not spend or have them changed in pesos because he wanted to have a souvenir from those who gave it to him. And now that he's gone, that bastard son of his stole it from my mother's locked wooden drawer.

Such an S.O.B he is! He stole things, jewelry and money from the past yet my parents didn't do anything to stop him from doing it. If I was in the Philippines I could have put him in jail or worse hire someone to bruise him! This person don't give value at how precious life is. He abuse substances and ruin his health and life totally while my father did everything he can to live longer yet he died. If only there's a switch button for every person as to who deserve to stay longer on Earth and who do we choose to die. I would very well do it. I prefer to have a father than a brother who caused us miseries in this world. Excuse me, I sound so bad in this posting but I am just pissed at him.

Checking It Twice

2012-01-30T10:33:00.000-06:00

Before heading out for a road trip you should check your vehicle twice to make sure everything is okay especially the engine, the wheels and if there is enough fuel. If you don't do it, rest assured something unfavorable is like to happen with the vehicle on the road. However, if you are a member of a certain organization or company that gives you good insurance and breakdown service that is very cool of you because in case of flat tire or breakdown, you can just call them right away anytime and wherever you are.

Learning How To Use The Guitar

2012-01-24T11:08:00.000-06:00

My brother next to me is learning how to use a guitar. He loves heavy metal music and when he got out of his job a year ago, he went home in Cebu and enrolled himself at a local music tutorial center. Part of his learning is to purchase his own guitar, I don't know what kind of guitar he purchased, all I know is that it is an electric guitar that he left in our house before leaving for Iceland. If he can see this bass guitar schecter eye-candy looking guitar, I guess he would love to own one of these too because it is just so pretty looking.

Loving Her Horse

2012-01-24T10:43:00.001-06:00

My husband bought our first born a Melissa and Dough stuff horse. It is not your ordinary stuff toy because it is something big enough and strong enough a 32 pounder girl can sit on. She loves it and my husband and I are glad that it became her favorite pal. She just looks so good while riding in it. Anyhow, what if I buy her an equestrian apparel to complete the look? I mean, she got a horse and all she needs now is the outfit that makes her look like a pro horse rider. What do you think dear readers?

The Life I Have To Live

2012-01-19T21:52:00.000-06:00

So this is the life I have to live for the rest of my days here on Earth. Calling back home not having anyone or my father to answer the phone. It sucks and it hurts me so much knowing that I can no longer hear my father's voice, his real genuine laughter and joyous heart no longer exist because he went to the other side of the world.

I just called to the Philippines seconds ago and the phone just kept ringing. Nobody was home, no one knew I called! The heck it sucks! If my father was still alive, guaranteed my call wouldn't be missed for he was always there ready and waiting for my call, anytime! How awful it is to know that I cannot call to our house in Cebu if it is not the weekend because people there aren't home.

Kamingaw ba? Wa naku'u Papa nga maka estorya sa telepono, magkinataw-anay ug mag linibakay sa mga taw nga libakonon kaayo! Paaaaaaaaa namiya man ka ug sayo intawn? Sa kalit ikaw ning panaw way paalam, kasakit pamalandungon maayo pa gani ta nag estorya last Sept.29 and 30,2011 and two weeks later...you were gone!!!! Kasakit sa akong dughan gibyaan lang kog kalit ug amahan hohoho!

Natural Seaweed

2012-01-17T13:05:00.000-06:00

Who doesn't want to have natural glowing skin? Raise your hands! I do. If as much as possible I would only want to use all natural beauty products to avoid damaging my skin but I have no enough time searching for natural products on the internet. Until one night I was so bored that I had nothing else to do and so I kept browsing for things on the internet and found a natural seaweed body wash. How nice because this product I found wasn't in my mind yet it appeared when I don't or am not really looking for it. I need to read on the specific ingredients and information about this certain product and might buy some for myself or gifts to give to friends in the Philippines.

Best Boxing Day Sales

2012-01-09T13:14:00.000-06:00

I didn't there is such a public holiday exist in our calendar. Boxing Day is a public holiday that occurs December 26th. Boxing Day is observed in many countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, with a mainly Christian population. Boxing Day is not an official holiday in the United States though, however, the term Boxing Day is used by Americans. Boxing Day in Canada is listed in the Canada Labor Code as a holiday, although not an official holiday, in Quebec or British Columbia. If you look forward to that, you should also look forward to best boxing day sales associated with this non-official Holiday to save massive discounts!

Nobody!!!!

2012-01-05T20:12:00.001-06:00

I am shocked! Very shocked right now! I couldn't help but shiver and shed tears because of this freaking text from somebody who thought we were happy leaving Davao right after my father's funeral. What kind of child/children would be happy after attending his/their father's funeral? Yeah they lost a brother, but WE LOST A FATHER!

I just can't help but sulk of what she texted me noooooooo! She has no idea what I felt. It hurts so bad I lost my father! hmmmmmmmp..

Below are few of the best pics I have of my father. Luckily I took tons of photos of him every time I go visit with family in the Philippines. 'Pa, I hope you know how much I missed you!

....... my most favorite picture of him..I wish I had taken a lot of photos of just me and him when he was still alive..I wish ..I wish..

.......... orchid model...he was the one who asked to take a picture of him by the orchids...

........ he loved his grandchild, in tough and ordinary times, he was with her all the way!

For Coffee Drinkers

2011-12-21T17:32:00.000-06:00

Coffee drinkers would sure appreciate if they receive one of these coffee pods along with freshly brewed gourmet coffees sold all over the internet. Does anybody thought of giving someone a basket of coffee and coffee pods? Now I have an idea on what to give to my husband this Christmas. I couldn't come up with an idea of what's the best gift I can give to him. He does love coffee, in fact, he can't go a day without drinking his warm coffee every morning before going to work.

My Half Sister

2011-12-13T10:21:00.000-06:00

For most of you do not know that I have a half sister named Veronica. She is my father's daughter from the past before he met my mother. For 27 years I was curious to see my half sister in picture but things have their own time to happen. I first met her during my last vacation in the Philippines last December 2010. All my life I never really expected to have met her, although I and the rest of my siblings were aware that we do have a half sister yet we never really do something to meet her.

The first photo is of me and Vee. Can you believe how pretty she is and how she got my father's features in the face, nose, eyes, mouth and even the height for she is very tall.

.....the second photo below is of me, our father, Vee and my lil sister and my daughter at my grandma's place in Subasta, Calinan

...... Our second meeting with our sister was during our father's death just two months ago. It is so sad that we gathered like that just because somebody had died and of all the people on Earth, it's our father that we lost.

Old And Yellowish

2011-12-13T10:06:00.000-06:00

We just had our kitchen remodeled but the guy who did the cabinetry put back all the old and yellow switch plates. The new cabinets and countertop make the plates look even more older and ugly. I wonder if my husband even notice it? Because it bothers me everytime I go to the kitchen. In other rooms too, the walls are painted but the switch plates are old. Other switches are missing their plates and some have already been replaced like the ones in our bathroom sinks. Yes, we do have extra new plates that my husband bought at a home improvement store but I guess he hasn't found the time to replace all old switch plates in this house.

Clear Vision

2011-12-12T18:48:00.001-06:00

I guess I know now what to do with my future. Although I am living the kind of life I used to dream but also I can't be staying home forever. I want to be in the medical field and that's final. I just thought that people who work in hospitals, dental offices or other medical related jobs wearing their medical uniforms look so freaking good! I so love the scrub suit they wear, they look professional, decent and duh I just admire them so much that is why I want to be one of those wearing medical uniforms everyday as I go to work. I am in America and I know nothing is impossible in America. Someday somehow I'll be able to do the job I want to do!

Titanium Watches For Men

2011-12-02T13:09:00.000-06:00

Here comes the Holiday and everybody as expected is busy filling up their wishlist. Others are already gone shopped some stuff to give out this Christmas. And to those that cannot come up with an idea of what to give to their brothers, husbands or boyfriends, why not take a look at mens titanium watches and see if there is anything that might interested the man of your life.

As for my husband, if he doesn't have a watch which he wears everyday to work, I would buy him one of these beautiful time pieces for Christmas. I feel very guilty for I forgot it was his birthday 12th of last month and didn't remember it until two weeks have passed. Poor guy.

Missing Him Everyday

2011-11-29T12:02:00.000-06:00

Not a single day to pass by me without thinking about my father. I just missed him terribly. I missed those good times we had together. I missed his voice, I missed everything about him. Until now I can still shed a tear when I talk about him to my friends. Missing someone you cannot see anymore sucks. I know I was not a good daughter to him before but wasn't it part of growing?

I realized my close relationship to my father when my mind matured. It was when I was about to get wed when my father patiently assisted and went with me whenever I did my inquiry for stuff in relation to my wedding. When I meet my American boyfriends, he was with me all the time at the airport, he never leave me alone and most of all, he was there at my wedding walking with me in the aisle and handed me to my then fiance, Sandy.

Gooooooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Papa I miss you so much! I wonder if you knew I loved you eventhough I wasn't as vocal of my feelings towards you!

In Need Of A GPS

2011-11-29T11:55:00.000-06:00

Honestly I am kind of jealous of a friend who now has gotten her driver license because she can now go to the grocery store without her husband and I can't. I have been practicing my driving for almost two years yet I don't feel like I don't trust myself still that is why I have not tried going for a road test. That can wait, I always say. I can drive to the highway and in most backroads/service roads with the help of my husband. He is my personal instructor and navigator. Without him I don't think I know where I am going except of course for roads I am familiar with.

Someday when I am able to get my DL, I may need a Garmin GPS so I can drive to the roads I am not so familiar to be driving around. I am pretty sure though I can very well go to the mall, grocery store and my kids' doctor's office without the help of a GPS.

Fast Checkout

2011-11-29T11:49:00.000-06:00

Oh yeah, we have had our Black Friday shopping last Friday. Thanks to the husband for treating us out. Shopping is one of my favorite things to do so needless to say I couldn't say no to him when he asked me if I want to go out shop. We didn't go to Best Buy early because I know the crowd will be flooding the store, we have waited until ten in the morning but sad to say most of the electronics that were on sale were gone. Anyway, we still shopped a few things at Best Buy, we shopped for a 3D dvd player for our first born, a new 3-in-1 printer and two pairs of headphones. There quite a crowd in the store but thanks for barcode scanners, they made a faster checkout as usual. Oh well, almost all stores here in the United States are using barcode scanners.

Cheap Sunglasses

2011-11-17T21:06:00.000-06:00

I love designer stuff, clothing, handbags, perfumes, coats, boats etc. even sunglasses but I know how to limit myself. I only go for branded stuff only if I can afford to buy them, I can also wear cheap sunglasses if they fit me good I wear them proudly. You know I always go for bargains. I would never pay on items in full price unless of course I really want it or I need it bad. But for normal occasion, I would buy things that are discounted or on sale so I can save myself some bucks. Same thing with my husband. Before I came here, he used to buy his stuff for full price but then he learned that clearance items are as good as the newly stocked items.

I'm Sick

2011-11-05T11:48:00.000-05:00

Geeeeeez I am sick and I hate the fact that I might contaminate my baby with it. I came back from the Philippines two days ago with hoarse throat and sneezing. This is what I get from my short two-week stay in the hot humid PI. From there, I arrived in Texas with a cooler temperature that makes my body feel strange. I am coughing now and sneezing a lot this morning, sucks! It is okay if I am sick if I don't have a little one to take care of but hey my little Megan is here needing my help! Hope she won't get my sickness or I'll be damned mad.

Blowing A Cake

2011-11-05T11:45:00.000-05:00

My three-year old girl doesn't seem to forget how she turned three this year. When she talks to people, she would tell them her age showing 3 little fingers and say I'm three following the words and "I blow my cake". She sure is fun when she does that. She somehow believes blowing cakes on birthdays are cute. Nah, looking forward to buying her a beautiful birthday cake in January. We will be celebrating it here in Texas with her dada so I better start thinking what kind or design I should get her for her birthday and make sure to have birthday cakes delivered on time to our house so to not to disappoint my toddler.

Invitations Pending

2011-10-30T22:51:00.000-05:00

This visit in the Philippines right now is an emergency visit, this isn't planned at all. If not because of my father's death, I wouldn't be here. Back in Texas when I left, I got at least 3 invitations, a birthday party, a baby shower and Halloween party. I feel bad for not being able to attend all three invitations especially the baby shower because she is a close friend of mine. She sent me and other women she know baby shower invitations from invitationbox.com 2 weeks ahead to make sure everybody can adjust their work schedule just so they can attend the said event.

I guess I am one of those people that won't show up the party. Although it is going to be next week but I doubt I can attend for I would be very exhausted from the long trip and from the stressful nights of my father's vigil in Davao.

Discount Hard Drives

2011-10-16T16:27:00.000-05:00

My husband and I are thinking of what to do with Jadyn's computer. It is infected with malware that caused the system to be so slow. I am not in favor of him buying our kid a new computer instead have the CPU or hard drive be fixed or wait a little longer until we can have the money to buy me a new computer and this old laptop I have will be given to her. I am looking at Discount Hard Drives and I see the prices are not so bad, I know depending on the memory size the price will vary also plus we need to think of the labor it costs if ever we will decide to just replace the hard drive.

Trying To Hide Her Situation

2011-10-12T14:48:00.000-05:00

My cousin who fled to my grandmother's place sent me a message on FB saying hi to me. This is the girl I was talking in my previous post who is pregnant and is only a teenager. I asked how life is treating her and she didn't say much about it, she just said she is fine as if I didn't know what happen to her. If I have a chance I would try to convince her to chat and see what I can do.

If she doesn't help herself then there is nothing I can do about her situation. My only goal for her is for her to be better and have a brighter future. If she won't listen then it is not my problem anymore. Damn girl she is only thinking of today. What about tomorrow?

iPhone 4 Accessories

2011-10-12T14:44:00.000-05:00

So you have dreamed of buying or possessing an iPhone 4 that everybody is talking about and eventually you got it for yourself. You become happy, excited and pretty proud of yourself for having one. But having an iphone doesn't mean your expense ends there because once you have that gadget, you would also need iphone 4 accessories to complete the set of your toy in order to fully enjoy and use its features. For sure, you love watching movies or listening music from your iphone, and what do you need in order to that? A pair of nice headphones or how about protecting your phone from scratches? Don't you need a sleeve for it?

Gratiae Skin Care Products

2011-10-06T12:58:00.000-05:00

At first I didn't know what gratiae is all about until I checked the website address. It is actually an organic skin care products sold at Cleopatra's Choice store. They are an authorized Gratiae organics retailer. So that only means one thing, when you buy any Gratiae products from them you are guaranteed the most fresh and authentic Gratiae skin care.

The ingredients which form the line of facial and body skin care products in this line are certified organic by one of the most respected organic certification bodies - Ecocert.

Sleeping Longer

2011-10-04T10:44:00.000-05:00

It is a miracle for my little Pearl to be sleeping this late. She normally wakes up at 9 in the morning and demands for milk. Honestly, the world is so quiet without Megan here by my side. The only sound I can hear right now is from my Jadyn's computer and the airplane.

Speaking of the girl, she's awake now and oh so messy! She has a whole poopy diaper..no wonder she looks happy and smiling for she now relieved herself after 2 days of not defecating! What a better morning to start my day seeing my girls happy and healthy. Thank You, Lord for such wonderful kids and amazing family I have!

Woodstair Treads

2011-10-04T10:05:00.001-05:00

Guest post by Jared.

When you are looking at the different types of material to build your stairs it is very important to choose the right types of woods for the project. Being in the business for over 20 years I have come across a few different scenarios of building a quality staircase. You need to pick out the right wood. The stair treads are actually the most needed stair part on the project. I have seen a whole project go straight downhill with the wrong choice of stair treads.

In the construction industry there are a lot of times more expectations than there are realities. The customer wants everything and everything for the cheapest price possible. Then if it doesn't look exactly how they imagined they get upset. So it is a delicate balance you deal with.

Athletic Trainer Jobs

2011-09-30T10:54:00.001-05:00

Each working individual has his or her own interest or likes. A lot of people are working in a different job than sticking to what they love to do most. There are also that are happy with the career they choose. But for those are still in search of athletic sort of jobs, I guess these Athletic Trainer Jobs are for you. If you could visit the site and search on the specific stare or place where you, you can probably find that very job that best fit for your skill and put your heart into it.

Frustrated Of The Bad News

2011-09-14T10:41:00.000-05:00

I just learned recently that two of my cousins in the Philippines got impregnated out of wedlock. These girls are somewhat closed to me so when I heard that devastating news I can't help but felt frustrated as well. I can only imagine how disappointed their parents are especially Josephine who is only 17 years old. Her boyfriend is the same age as her who knows nothing in this world but hide in his mother's skirt. The other girl is 22 years old who has a live in partner whose only job is selling barbecue in the market.

Divie is her name went back to her parents' home in the province. I tried to convince her to try to chat so she can marry a foreigner so she can have a better life but then she refused doing it simply because she doesn't like foreigners at all. Dumb girl, she is not using her mind. She is only thinking of today, she doesn't want to be better and potentially help her family from poverty. So she went ahead and had unprotected sex.

What's going to happen with this two girls only time will tell. I just don't want to hear any of them having a hard life in the long run for I would really slap the truth in their face that if they would have married foreigners they could have a better and productive life.

Life Insurance

2011-09-14T10:34:00.000-05:00

Can you imagine living in this world without life insurance? For people back in the Philippines, a lot of them don't have life insurance including my parents. Why? Simply because they cannot afford to buy it so when something unexpected happen, death of a family member for example, those that are left behind are being burdened with big expenses. Who is to be blame for that? They should think how important life insurance is but the problem is they just don't have the resources to pay for it.

Kmart Coupons

2011-09-10T08:28:00.000-05:00

I have not tried shopping at Kmart ever. My husband never brought or drove me to Kmart local store, that is why. I've not done it online either but with the use of kmart coupons I found, I might try it this weekend to take advantage of saving some money of the already reduced items such as household items and children's clothing or school stuff. As early as now I am slowly collecting things to throw in my big box for my family in the Philippines, once I get this filled in full, I will send it right away.

Hardly Hit By Hurricane

2011-09-01T09:31:00.000-05:00

I pity those who have been badly hit by hurricane Irene. I have seen the aftermath on t.v and thinking of the lives and property damages it caused to the people and business establishments is devastating. If you happen to own a business in the most affected areas of the hurricane and you feel like you deserve to be compensated of the damages, please go ask help from a raleigh business lawyer. Times like these, the only way for us to recover is to be strong, pick yourself up where you fell down and live again. And of course, ask God for help because without him, it will take time for you to accept that what you lost are just material things. What is important is that the hurricane spared your life and that you should be thankful for.

Shoes To Sell

2011-08-26T12:09:00.000-05:00

My husband has decided to get rid of the shoes he has had in the past that are too small or aren't too comfortable for him. He has like over ten pairs of shoes ready to be donated and as I went through all of them I actually found 2 pairs that are gently used and a pair of never worn or new without tag black pair of shoes. I was gonna put it to the bags that are ready to go for donation but then I came to an idea of selling them. For sure many would be interested to buy those shoes because they are still in great like new condition plus the fact they are in brand names too. Ah I am thinking of putting them on craigslist today and hope that I could sell them right away for an extra money!

Stains On The Floor Mats

2011-08-26T12:03:00.000-05:00

The car that we frequently use to drive is a bit older, it is a 2008 Ford Taurus SHO but still in good running condition although we have had some repairs done to it. The interior has some minor damage, scratches on the leather seats, stains on floor mats from all the liquids and milk we bring for our babies that spilled on to the floor mat. I think a new catch all floor mat is a good idea to make it look nicer and cleaner inside. I am going to have to open this idea to my husband and see what he is going to say about it.

Baby Fats

2011-08-23T12:07:00.000-05:00

I am down to 108.5 from 120 pounds of my pregnancy weight. I got at least ten pounds to lose then I will be back to my normal weight. I shouldn't be bothered about it for I know the right time will come for that. I didn't gain much weight although the belly is showing some bulging in there. Baby fats is what I am talking about. Right now, diet pills aren't in my mind yet. I shall wait if I don't lose this extra pound naturally then I may consider taking diet pills in the future. It has only been a month since I gave birth you know. I should take it easy.

Ensure Safety

2011-08-23T12:00:00.000-05:00

To ensure safety, we must follow rules, wear proper attire suited for each job or work we do. Different sports, different attire to wear to keep ourselves protected. Equestrians have their riding boots on whenever they are riding in their horses. If you are one of them, you can buy yourself a new pair of riding boots on the internet or at the store exclusive only for equestrians like you. Just take a look at the site provided here by clicking on the link above.

She'll Be 54 This Month

2011-08-11T19:56:00.000-05:00

My mother's birthday is coming this August 19th. She will be 54 this year. I wish her the best, long life and good health as well even though she has health problems. I have sent her a small amount of money hoping that she would prepare something for her day. Birthdays in our family aren't that significant anymore, it doesn't require a big feast to call it a birthday, as long as the celebrant could offer some candles at church and thank God for another year of her life to live then it's good enough. I will just send her a birthday greeting through text just a simple gesture letting her know she is not forgotten.

Wireless Security Cameras

2011-08-11T19:46:00.000-05:00

With the number of unemployment rate keep rising, criminals are lurking and burglarizing in residential areas, stores, schools and other business establishments looking for things to steal and pawn. Some are even so dumb to steal a whole atm machine at convenience stores not knowing they are being monitored by wireless security cameras. They are too dumb too think that they can get away with the law, they are very wrong. As long as the law enforcement have ideas of their description, they will be caught eventually.

Losing it

2011-08-06T10:19:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Erasmo Cortez

I am losing my mind, no wait; I lost it a long time ago. Well today I noticed an oil film that seems to cover our water. One of the girls had asked for a drink of water while I was catching up on the latest soaps from my directv satellite. I was about to give her the glass when I noticed the water looked funny and there was a coating of something floating on top of it. We have a filter on the faucet so this is either coming from the filter or something that has bypassed the filter. I was discussing it with my aunt and she mentioned a very pricey name brand filter. That may work for her wallet but not mine. I am so tempted to go back to the bottled water again. I hate to buy all of that plastic but it seems like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I do not want my kids, husband or pets being subjected to this nasty water. I will have to figure out something soon.

Sleep Deprived

2011-07-30T20:04:00.000-05:00

I should be sleeping instead of tapping my computer. Promise, I did try to sleep earlier but I couldn't although my eyes really wanting to shut even just for a few minutes. How can I sleep if my baby girl continues to make sound that bothers me so much? I couldn't sleep if she wouldn't sleep. I don't know why that is? Now I am ready for bed, it is barely 8 pm and here I am feels like ready to hit the hay anytime soon. Gladly, I am done doing my online tasks. Arggggs I am so so sleep deprived and my only wish right now is to get a full 8 hours sleep even just for a night. Anyone wants to volunteer looking after my baby while I sleep?

She's Coming To America Soon

2011-07-30T20:00:00.000-05:00

A friend of mine just had her visa approved. Guess what, she is coming to America soon to join her fiance in Georgia. I know what is next once she arrives here, there will be either a grand or solemn wedding ceremony. I shall see if she invite me to her wedding or will she ever send out bridal shower invitations? I should be ready whenever she finally comes here for I really wanna be on her special day. This woman is a high school classmate of mine and we were close since then. I am happy for her at the same time excited for her future. I am glad she found the man who loves her as she is and accepted her son.

So Much Respect For The Military

2011-07-12T20:47:00.000-05:00

I have so much respect for military men or anybody serving in this country. I look at them as heroes and no other. They risk their own life only to have Americans have their freedom. If you are a military, having a family in the military please know that I salute you, soldier. Let us show our support to our American troops, let us buy military rings so they will know that we care. Or if you are a wife of a military, this could be the best gift you can buy for your better half when he comes home from war. I bet he would be very happy you are thinking so much of him.

Putting An Ad On Craigslist Is Easy

2011-07-08T12:26:00.000-05:00

I placed at least 4 different advertisements on Craigslist already and one ad successfully sold. Yes, I did it. Although it took 3 weeks to sell those items but at least I sold it. That was my first time to do online selling without hassles. Putting an ad on Craigslist is not hard at all. You don't even need to log in to your account and make an advertisement. It is as easy as creating your profile to an online dating site in order to sell yourself haha.

Up for sale right now I have created is an ad for a microwave oven... I got at least 5 people showed interest to it but none seems so serious buying and picking it up in our house. There was this woman yesterday who said she'd come buy it but it was a "no show" that got me pissed for I was putting other people off just because of her. Hoping that I can sell it before this weekend is over! It will be another moolah that goes to the craigslist sale envelope I have in our safe. Saving it for the future you know?

Few Of My Friends

2011-07-08T12:18:00.000-05:00

Few of my friends I notice they gained weight over the years of being here in America. I can't blame them for life in America is so different from our own country. We do have less movement here I mean, chores are easily done here, we don't do house chores manually anymore. Unlike the Philippines, we sweat, we work hard in order to get the job done. Sedentary life contributes so much to gaining weight and that sucks. Some are doing some dieting and exercising but none work for them so they are looking for a diet pill that works fast. I told them to check www.dietpillsthatwork.com so they can look at the products, read customers' reviews and testimonials and best possible to try out the product which they think would be best for them.

The Question He Once Had

2011-07-08T12:14:00.000-05:00

I still remember vividly my husband once asked himself this question where can I buy tv video cables? Then he got on his computer did some research on where he can find the best possible deals and the right cables he need in order to make his project done. Oh well, I know very well that he wouldn't stop searching unless he finds that very site that sells everything from cables to hdmi and anything related with setting up a nice entertainment system at home. Since then, he always go to the site that he liked in order to buy cables and stuff online. Good for him.

I Thought...

2011-06-29T14:28:00.000-05:00

... I was dealing with a fraudulent seller on Craigslist. But no I was wrong. I bought a D&B purse and wallet the other day on Craigslist and sent my payment right away as soon as she gave me her paypal address for I was really interested getting the items... they are too pretty to let them go by. Anyway, I paid them as what she was asking for and she promised that she was going to ship the items first thing in the morning.

The second day came which was yesterday and waited for her text with the tracking number but then there was no text until noontime and I texted her if she had shipped the items. She then said she will do it later in the afternoon as promised which I patiently waited... at 4 in the afternoon that much awaited text came in and thankfully she isn't a scammer who just want my money. Now the items are out for delivery hopefully I can receive them late today. I am excited!

She Got Her Cellphone Back

2011-06-23T12:23:00.003-05:00

A message from my little sister on Facebook is what I got this morning telling me she got her cellphone back after two weeks of being pawned by a brother who brought misfortunes into our lives. He got me pissed because it's not his cellphone and to think that he deceived my sister, he said he borrowed it to text his girlfriend but then never returned it back instead pawned it somewhere.

That cellphone is what I bought for my little sister to text my family through chikka messenger. It saves me from buying international minute calls but then when I heard the bad news about it being pawned, I couldn't help but get very angry to this worthless brother of mine who's got no job.

Sister said mama got it back, thankfully. If she didn't do it, I would not call them and send them money again until they get the phone back. Call me cruel but sala sa usa, damay tanan ug ako maglagot! Hilabtanon bwisit mamrenda gamit dli ila!

Knives And Tools

2011-06-23T11:56:00.001-05:00

It is nice to know that we got every tool we need including utility knives whenever we want to do something for the improvement of our house. My husband has got all his manly tools that make his job easier. If you go to our garage, you could see tools from the smallest to the biggest. He even got himself a paint sprayer machine, his own saw and most of all different types of knives that you could just reach whenever you need it depending the kind of job you are working on. We are not rich but at least we got things necessary in order to make certain jobs done.

Wow What A Blogging Day!

2011-06-14T15:51:00.001-05:00

Today seems to be a busy day for blogging for me. The complete opposite of yesterday because I didn't make any paid posts, not at all. I am blessed with plenty of opportunities today so I am very thankful from the Heaven above. Surely it is not just me who is busy tapping on his her typad or keyboard right now? I bet most bloggers do, right?

Cheers to all of us who have been blessed with tasks! Thank God for the blessings. He never ceases to shower me/us with grace. More tasks to do, more moolah to expect in payday! It's good for I have a mission and that mission is getting my sister over here in the next couple of years. To get it started I need a fair amount of money hopefully I can save up some and do what I need to do!

I'll Deal With It Later

2011-06-14T15:46:00.000-05:00

I know what to expect after having a child, I know I am going to be big for the first year after giving birth. But that is okay! I am easy to lose weight. I don't have to worry about it for now but I know I will have to deal with it later.

I am so certain that losing weight in the future would not be a problem at all. What does a wii sports resort game for if I don't use it? We don't have it at this moment but it's just easy to buy it online at www.thesource.com and by then I am hopeful that the price is going to come down so then I can very well afford to buy it for myself and for my Jadyn.

I Used To Collect Posters

2011-06-14T15:41:00.000-05:00

When I was a teenager I had this obsession towards pop stars. My mother didn't give me much allowance when going to school so what I did is to save my money so I can buy posters and magazines of my idol every month. One publication once a month was enough for me to know the latest of my favorite bands. I also loved collecting posters of the solo artists as well as my favorite wrestler, Shawn Michael.

I was so crazy over this man that I wished I could buy all the wrestling posters of his but not having money to do so what hindered me at that time. Looking back at my old life, I could say I was so unfortunate to not have money whenever I need it. My life now is different, I can afford anything I want but I taught myself to be tight and only spend on things I really need because I know how hard it is to make a living especially these days when the economy is still so down.

Off For Two Weeks

2011-06-07T13:46:00.000-05:00

My husband took two weeks off work and I am happy at the same time I am not thrilled. Sorry to say my husband, if you read this because... we are not going anywhere. I am stuck in the house, I need to go somewhere too but I can't insist if you like to stay at home and want to do your chores and reading instead. Who am I to force you or stop you of what you wish to do?

Besides, the everyday temperature is killing me! Just so freaking hot and I can't be outside longer than I wanted to. Honestly, I am getting bored here no matter how I try to entertain myself on the computer or the little chores inside the house. This is the most dreaded time of the year for it's when my homesickness strikes. I can't go outside, can't do my walking exercise.... hell I am stuck in the house!

When It Happens Away From Home

2011-06-07T13:35:00.000-05:00

More and more families are getting on the road with their motorhomes just so they can travel anywhere comfortably with small kids in tow. Camping out by the river or any RV park is so cool only if you have a good running vehicle like the motorhome or what they call Reacreational Vehicle. One of my online buddies and her family are about to go RVing again, this time they will go far North.

This time they are hoping that there'll be no vehicle breakdown on the road so to make their trip easier. Unlike last year, they encountered such terrible experience where sudden situation they don't expect to happen in the middle of nowhere. They had to call a motorhome repair service person to get to their location so they can move on and be there in their destination on time. That was scary, being stranded in an unfamiliar place is the dreaded thing that can ever happen to a whole family with kids.

Losing the job

2011-06-06T10:23:00.000-05:00

This guest post from Margaret Mills

As if being pregnant with your first child isn't scary enough, I knew I was going to have a hard time affording everything since I lost my job. Luckily for me, I came across a good High speed internet online offer in my area, and have since been on the job hunt, trying to find an appropriate position for me once I give birth. Obviously, the more flexible the position, the better suited it is for me but I'm really not trying to be picky at this point.

Whatever comes my way I'm willing to consider, so hopefully something good will show up sometime soon. In the meantime, I'm getting my house ready for baby and my husband is bringing in most of our income, so we're not going to go bankrupt anytime soon. It's only a matter of time before I find another position in accounting, so I'm not really worried about the job search as of now. I've got bigger and better things to hold my attention like baby names and decorating the nursery!

I Choose Not To Go

2011-06-03T19:10:00.001-05:00

I just learned today that there will be a big Filipino event tomorrow in Grand Prairie called Philippine Republic Day celebration. I've been to this event once in my life and honestly, I loved my first experience being there, that was 4 years ago and never came back for I forgot what particular month the Filipinos celebrate it here in North Texas.

I know I so want to go but the only thing that hinder me is the heat. I have a bulging belly and to be out there in the scorching heat of the sun in my situation won't be fun at all so I better stay home and eat dukot. I'd rather be bored all day, all week than risking my health just to get Filipino foods in the said event. If you are willing to go, just go here is the link and map directions.. that if you live within DFW area....good luck and enjoy the games and foods! http://tradersvillage.com/grand-prairie/events/philippine-republic-day-celebration-prdc

Buy In Bulk

2011-06-03T19:02:00.000-05:00

We all know, buying in bulk of any merchandise saves you a lot of money. Why do you think some business establishments are doing so well if they buy their supplies in little packaging? I guess if they do, they could not get the profit back they aim to get if do it. Just like buying a wholesale dental supplies a dentist or a dental office could save tons of money if they do it in bulk. If you belong to the kind or same business, you know where to buy wholesale dental supplies now, right? Simply click on the link provided above and it should get you to the store's site.

They Finally Asked

2011-06-01T13:23:00.001-05:00

After not having any phone calls made to my family for almost five months, they finally asked why I am not calling them. They've waited that long before they asked me. They chatted me at first by using a neighbor's computer asking the question. Well, of course it was mama who talked and asked me that question and I couldn't be upfront with her that I don't feel like calling them. She thought that I would go one year without ringing them which I can probably do.

The reason why is that I know what they are gonna tell me, problems, worries and troubles and I don't want to be bothered with their nonsense. I am living a peaceful life here with my new family and a peace of mind is what I needed these days. I have my own business to mind, my baby, my husband and my pregnancy is all I care.

Almost five months I broke the silence I built between me and my family in the Philippines. I called them last night and gave my mother the xoom control number money transfer I did yesterday. She sounded happy, she's okay, the rest of the people in that house sound okay so I feel good after hanging the phone. Admittedly, it felt good after talking to them. WINK... gonna ring them again after June 6 for I heard my father will be coming home from Davao... I so want to talk to him for the longest time...

Deal On Vitamins

2011-05-20T21:06:00.001-05:00

Jadyn is almost out of her Disney Princess multivitamin. Before she totally runs out of it, I make sure she has extra bottle reserved so she doesn't have to skip a dose. We only do grocery shopping once a week, that is every weekend. When I see something is about to be gone, I would buy some extra when we get to the grocery store. Last weekend, we got lucky for we got a deal on our girl's vitamins. Kroger was having a promotion, buy one get one free. Each bottle contains 80 gummies which normally cost $14.99, imagine the savings we got? I didn't expect that at all.

Done, At Last

2011-05-14T15:12:00.001-05:00

I can now take a nap thank goodness for I am done with my online tasks that I so wanted to finish to be included for the cut off tomorrow. I hate it when I am being rushed doing these things for I can't think straight writing them. I am not one of those people that love the pressure of finishing off their work just so they can meet the deadline. What I want is to have plenty of time writing, that way I can make it better and search more of the products I am publishing. Today was different. I've only got a day to do it all together (I had to take a break from the computer for the hubby decided to do our weekend chore early).

I am done with them, at least for the ones I want to be done before the cut off. There are 3 left from other paid blogging site which will expire tomorrow, I guess ... but they can wait. I am too sleepy now, need to hit the bed and would just log in back again later this afternoon and get it all done before midnight. So ciao everyone. You all have a nice weekend!

Faster Checkout

2011-05-14T14:52:00.000-05:00

The husband seems to be always in a hurry whenever we do grocery shopping. I don't understand why that is. I like it because it's my only chance to get out of the house for a while and shop for stuff that we need for a whole week of consumption. We are the opposite, he views grocery shopping as a chore while I find it relaxing and enjoyable. Today, he was pleased of the cashier he went for checkout because of the person attending us was so fast plus the symbol barcode scanner was new and took us less than ten minutes to check out. Thanks to the ever high technology that the store is using, it helps their customers checking out a lot faster than usual.

An Online Shop

2011-05-14T10:40:00.000-05:00

I just discovered an online shop where in men and women can shop the type of fashion they love, urban clothing. I do believe we all express ourselves through fashion. The way we carry our clothes and the kind of clothing we wear speak as to what kind of personality we have as an individual. As for me, I prefer simple clothing that are comfortable yet fashionable or in the current trend. There are days that I just want to dress casually depending on the event or the place I am going to.

I love to shop online and in local stores. Whenever there is a huge mark down available online then I go for it. If I do hang out with friends in the mall and seeing stores that are convincing enough for me to shop, I do it too. How about you, where do you prefer to shop? What kind of clothing do you usually wear and are you into sales as well?

No Milk!

2011-05-11T10:26:00.001-05:00

I got up this morning only to find we ran out of fresh milk. It is a necessity for all of us in this house every morning to make our drink. There was only a drip left in a gallon not even enough for Jadyn. Times like this makes me wanna get upset, I so wanted to drink some warm fresh milk and we're out of it, I couldn't go to store for I am not allowed to drive by myself. Have to wait for the husband to get it himself after work this afternoon. I feel useless and crippled because I can't do simple things like running to the grocery store.

Fortunately, I got my cacao in the fridge so I boiled some water and put 3 pieces in it. Voila! I got my drink yet I still need some milk to mix with my tabliya. I looked for some coffee creamer and there it was. I made my morning drink as usual. I would be pissed if I don't get to drink warm beverage in the morning for I so used to it. Jadyn had hers too, she has milk powder I brought from the Philippines and powdered chocolate drink so she was good.

Hormonal Acne

2011-05-11T10:12:00.000-05:00

Hormonal changes cause a lot of pregnant women mood swings, change in body, skin and attitude. I notice in some women when they are pregnant they get hormonal acne in their face and on the neck, some would slightly changed physically, their nose flatten and swollen like a tomato, others stay as they are before their pregnancy. And I belong to the last category where there is no physical change is shown except the growing belly. My face don't get ugly. I don't get acne as well. I know it can be a problem to some having acne while pregnant for it can cause a woman to be insecure and lower their self-esteem. How can we prevent that? It's just normal and sooooo natural for the body to change. You will get back to your natural self once the baby comes out.

Kid's Favorite Toy

2011-05-04T10:40:00.000-05:00

I know a few kids who own a nintendo ds and I heard a lot of good feedback from them or from their parents. This kind of gadget or toy really hooked their kids into it that they don't want to quit playing anymore. I have two little siblings that don't have this toy, I kind of thinking of getting them one that they can share. I hope when it gets to their hands, they will take good care of it and appreciate what their big sister has done for them. I willing to give them toys that I didn't have before when I was growing up so someday they will know their big sister cares for them.

Another Package On The Way

2011-04-27T15:10:00.002-05:00

I received 2 packages this month alone from the same person I know in Colorado. The first one was for my baby, it was all girly stuff that includes a nice yellow dress, a pack of Disney panties, 6 pieces ponytail holder and etc. Then the second package she sent me is my pinikas buwad or dried fish that she brought from the Philippines. Not only she sent me buwad but also 6 pieces small tubes of plastic balloons for my girl to play with. So kind of her to do that! Truly, I am grateful to have known people like her. Not because she sent me goodies but because the friendship she invested throughout these years. I haven't met her in person yet and would look forward to the day we hug and do endless chitchat with each other.

Meanwhile, typing this entry straight from my heart, I also check on FB once in a while to see the latest updates of people there...then there's one private message sent by someone who I met only once in my life at the airport when I made that first trip to the Philippines in 2007. Her name is Marivic Carrington and mind you, we only met once but our friendship didn't end as we parted at the airport. We exchanged e-mails, connected on FS and now on FB and the communication continues.

MOments ago, Ateh Marivic sent me a message telling me that she sent my little girl, the fetus something and that I should just holler her when I receive the package. How sweet and thoughtful of these people to do such act of kindness? I am blessed and I am happy knowing that despite of the chaotic world I am in, I still have few remaining friends who stayed true and real to me.

I Will Never Forget My 21st Birthday

2011-04-27T15:01:00.001-05:00

My 21st birthday was one of the most unforgettable moments of my life that I will cherish forever. Why? Because it was the day I got engaged with my then online boyfriend, Lalabs now my husband. I received my 21st birthday gifts from him which are; a snowman diamond pendant necklace and that ever sparkling princess cut diamond engagement ring he put in my finger that very same day I turned 21. I felt very special that time and for once in my life, I felt extremely happy, so happy that I couldn't utter the word YES right away and so happy that it made me cry, tears of joy if I say!

Sweets!

2011-04-27T14:57:00.000-05:00

I find cookies, cakes, salads, icecream and other sweet treats to be my friend these days. I just love the taste of sugar in my taste buds and oh I can't stop eating it now. In fact, I can't let a day to pass by without eating something sweet. Right now, while finishing my tasks I am also munching on sugar cookies that a friend gave me last Easter. I find it weird because I don't normally eat sweet stuff. But I can forgive myself for this, I am pregnant and this is what the baby wants. Haha, Filipino myth. Once I am done with these cookies, I know I will find myself in the kitchen again digging or looking for more sweets! Bahala na, whatever happens, it happens.

I've Seen It On T.v

2011-04-27T14:54:00.000-05:00

I have seen several times over of this Hydroxycut commercial on t.v. And each time it is being played, I thought and can't help myself asking the same question all over again, does Hydroxycut work? They seem so good in their commercial and I wonder if one should try their product, would it work? But truly, does it bring miracle to someone whose big problem is his or her weight? Hydroxycut is known to be America’s most popular weight loss brands. Commanding a huge reputation, for good and ill, Hydroxycut remains one of the most successful supplement companies, selling more than a million bottles sold every year.

Phone Is Missing

2011-04-18T13:23:00.001-05:00

I so wanted to call my family back home but the only thing that is preventing me is that I couldn't find the phone receiver that I use so I can hook the magic jack into it and be able to make a call. It's been 2 days I haven't been able to call because of that missing phone. I don't know where it is. I forgot where I put it. It's been a while since I used it and maybe for some reason my husband kept it away or hid in one of the boxes in the junk room. If can't find it these days, might as well buy me a new uniden phone, that will solve my problem. Phones like Uniden is affordable so I can just buy it without asking from my husband.

Kind People

2011-04-02T10:07:00.000-05:00

Jadyn's reaction when she received the package from her tita Lerio of Colorado was priceless. She had this surprised reaction saying WOW many times holding her nice stuff she took out the box. I was happy watching she was happy, what a joy! Thanks to my ever kindest friend Lerio for remembering my Jadyn. Every Christmas she has something for my girl, so kind of her even though we never met in person. Thankful I am to her for her friendship.

I met Lerio a few years back on the internet, it was on a dating site when she private messaged me, we talked, she was nice and then the online friendship started. Never would I thought that there was someone who would love Jadyn as she does. Well, I knew from the start that she was a real person not a phony one, someone whom I can be friend with even though we haven't met physically. Deep inside I felt good towards this person that is why our friendship progressed and stayed until this time. We may have never touched or talked in real life but deep in our hearts we know the silent bonding we share with the help of the internet. Thanks to her. God Bless her heart and to the rest I know who have the same personality as her.

The Equestrian Corner

2011-04-01T21:37:00.000-05:00

When it comes to shopping for breeches, jodhphurs and riding jeans there is one absolute place that is best for equestrians, TheEquestrianCorner.com that is.

Multi-Tasking

2011-04-01T13:33:00.001-05:00

It's good while I'm on the computer for a couple more task, I can also do my laundry. It's multi-tasking as they say. I am making use of my time here while waiting for the second load I can get to finish tasks as well. I really do hope I can finish them all today since we are going away of the house for two days tomorrow. It wouldn't be good to just leave my chores behind while we go for a long drive. It's not gonna be fun doing them when we are back for I am pretty sure we'll be like vegetables.

I gotta hurry now because I start to feel sleepy, I know I can't control myself from lying down if drowsiness strikes. I already fed myself and the family so I have nothing to think about when I'm in bed except the need to fold the clean clothes...but that can wait later, I guess! I am the boss in my own home. I have no mother around who nags at me if I fail to do my chore.

Where Do You Go For Spring Break?

2011-04-01T13:27:00.001-05:00

Have you thought of going somewhere to spend Spring break with your family? I know some families have already spent their break but what about those who haven't thought about it yet? Consider going to North Carolina for a fun beach break and stay in the Outer Banks rental by Carolina Designs. This realty has been a reliable source for Outer Banks vacation rentals for more than for two decades, they only represent only the finest beach homes for rent on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. That alone should be a reason why choose Carolina Designs. Take a look at their website and see if you like any of their rental homes then pack up your bags for a break, it is not yet too late for a Spring break, I tell you!

A Nasty Accident

2011-04-01T13:06:00.000-05:00

A nasty accident happened on the westbound lanes of I-30 near Beach Street in Fort Worth.

, I believe. This was due to drunk driving accident that killed a truck driver. Police have charged a wrong-way driver with intoxication manslaughter after he collided with a gas tanker on a freeway, causing it to overturn and explode. The flames killed the big rig driver. I feel sorry for the family who have lost the man in their house. The family is entitled for a disability appeal for sure. They remember him as a good father. Sad to know another innocent person was killed by a drunk driver, this is just ridiculous. This has to stop.

IT Jobs

2011-04-01T12:48:00.000-05:00

People who have knowledge in the information technology often land in tech jobs which pay more compare other jobs you can find. I always thought they should pay good for I know their jobs aren't easy. It cost your brain to work a lot harder and when you are stressed mentally you will get tired twice as much as when you are beat up physically. I know few people who work in the information technology industry and I can tell they make good money in what they do although they are not telling me how much they earn every year for that but I know for I often read yahoo articles as to what sort of jobs that could really make you ahead of other when it comes to salary.

Remembering The Good Old Days With Classmates

2011-03-31T20:43:00.000-05:00

Attached picture is of me and my classmates during our "bed making" class in UHA Caregiver way back 2005. As you can see we did have a good time during that day doing our practical exam through our smiles painted in each of our face. Three of those people there are already residing abroad in different countries including myself the one by the window that is so skinny and dark. Two are still in the Philippines and the other two, I don't know their whereabouts.

I can say, the entire Vancouver class made such happy memories that are hard to forget despite of the fact we've only been together for 6 months before fleeing to our destinations. Most of those classmates I'm still in contact with through Facebook.

A Coin Collector He Was

2011-03-31T20:33:00.000-05:00

Most people probably have seen "Dear John" movie in DVD or in the theater long time ago but we just watched it the other night. In the movie, the father of the lead actor, John starred by Channing Tatum an old man with autism and was a coin collector. There were scenes when he was polishing all his coins with the girlfriend of his son. She asked what was his favorite coin of all the coins he has and he showed her that coin he called mule that is worth a lot of money if ever he would sell it.

I thought it was a pretty good drama and love story movie that it made me cry when it's about to end. It was sad but sweet and happy ending for the two of them. It was sad because the two lead stars broke up for a while and the old man who collects coins died...

Whiteheads A Big Problem

2011-03-31T20:17:00.000-05:00

Growing up as a teenager, I didn't have to deal with skin problems like zits, acne, blackheads or whiteheads for some reason. They are more likely to appear on a sensitive and oily skin which other people have. Those kind of concern aren't in our family so we are lucky. But what about those who are trying to get their skin clear from annoying skin problems? The internet can help a lot if they try to search on treatments of the specific problem they have. If their problem is getting rid of whiteheads then this website that tells how to get rid of whiteheads on face can be of great help. Whiteheads are annoying, highly unsightly and do not indicate healthy or acne free skin in general. Most treatments don’t actually address whiteheads, and they don’t even begin to get into the pores to get rid of whiteheads.

Left Eye Hurting So Bad

2011-03-31T20:11:00.001-05:00

My left eye is hurting so bad that it feels like it can pop out any second. It's been like this for three days yet I am not doing anything to ease the pain. I sure hate the idea that I might have a defective eye now. Wearing eyeglasses is the last thing I wanna do so please forbid, Lord. I was not gonna get online again but then I had a very important thing to do on Facebook so I decided to be on real quick. Out of the blue an idea just came in my mind that I should check on paid blogging sites for possible late opportunities, oh yeah! I am flooded with it...and plenty of them that made me so surprised knowing that I will be busy tomorrow trying to finish all of them in one day. I am blessed and thankful to Sheriff and to the Lord above for the grace. This is indeed another blessing to look forward to during payday ahermm... My eye is really hurting so I might do a few tasks then log out. You all have a good night!

It Can Crash Anytime

2011-03-31T20:00:00.000-05:00

I know my computer is old yet I am still using it. I got tons of important files saved in it as well as thousands of photos from the past years, trips to the Philippines and important moments captured during Jadyn's birth all are vulnerable from losing them if I don't do any data backup. My computer can crash and fail anytime since it has been to the computer repair center for three times already yet I am not doing anything to back up all my data. When all of it is gone all I can do is take a deep sigh and somehow wish that I have done something before it's too late. I know there are companies out there promise customers good service they advertise. They could lose our files and then what we can do? Nothing but find that company that is dependable and can be trusted at the same time won't rip us off.

Thank God, I'm Done!

2011-03-23T13:17:00.000-05:00

After working so hard writing my opportunities I am now done with all of them. Thank God! I can now move on to fixing my lunch and household chores. I struggled my last opportunity for I am really out of ideas and words. I am blessed and flooded with opportunities and this I should be grateful. For more than one week, the only website I depend on got quiet, I know they have their reason why but sometimes I can't help but question, where have all the opportunities gone?

Days would be so different and too lonesome without any tasks to do. It makes me feel bored and hopeless. When I do that, different kind of emotion attacking me throughout the day as if it's my weakness not having them day by day. Blogging is the only way I can earn money so I am doing it with sincerity and religiously. It has become a part of my life since I learned how to blog (though my English is rated 7 out of ten) four years ago. I must admit, the way I right is all over the place but at least I can express what's in my mind and let other people understand them through my writing.

Two More To Go

2011-03-23T12:44:00.000-05:00

I've been on the computer for over two hours now trying to finish all my online tasks I have. I got two more to go and I am done here. I can then start making fish soup for me because the little baby inside starting to be squirmy asking for food. I've had my morning snack of a cup of warm milk and two burger buns with bihon enough to survive not eating lunch until this hour, it's 12:41 here now by the way and here I am a bit hungry again. I can't blame myself, aside from being pregnant I am also working hard and I think I used up all my energy since I started writing my tasks.

I can't wait to finish my tasks so I can get out of here. The weather is pretty good outside, perfect for a hike with the baby and doggie but before I can do that I need to feed myself first. Hopefully, I don't get lazy once I fed myself. Anyways, I should be fast and get this thing over with. You all have a nice peek at my blogs.

When It's Not Aimed Right

2011-03-23T12:36:00.001-05:00

When I am in the midst of my exciting shows on t.v every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and I get that interrupted signal from our indoor antenna I can't help but be upset and pissed. Why it has to be that way? The purpose of having that antenna inside is for us to easily adjust it at the right position but then different channels give us different reception. So if I turn on Qubo which is Jadyn's favorite channel, I have to set the antenna to the right position to get a clearer and stronger signal from the outside. And when it's time for me to watch my shows, the screen just suddenly get blurry or worse I get weak or no signal at all. I wonder if omnidirectional antennas work fine compare to what we already have which my husband bought from Radioshack several months ago. I am just getting tired of getting the same messages when the antenna is not aimed right to its proper position eh.

Electronic Pickpockets

2011-03-23T12:27:00.000-05:00

When I was in the Philippines for a two-month vacation my Filipina travel agent sent me a forwarded mail about how I can be a victim of electronic pickpockets there. I thought, what is this? Filipino criminals are getting high tech too for they now have an idea how to do their hideous crimes. They do this by scanning the data on your credit/debit cards or passports that is in your wallet without touching it. Scary isn't it?

Just a minute ago, I found a website that sells wallets or jackets for men and women that are rfid shielded. I wonder if this truly works if ever I decide to buy one for me before going to the Philippines again next time to make sure I am not going to be victimized of this so-called electronic pickpocketers. RFID shielded wallets can be bought at www.idstronghold.com in case you want to buy one too. Their Genuine Leather Bi-Fold wallets feature the best RFID shielding in the industry. Every single pocket is entirely shielded - even the billfold area and their wallets will hold up to 12 cards.

That Was Easy And Fast

2011-03-04T19:41:00.001-06:00

I didn't do much this morning. Blogging world is so quiet for two days now. If that happens, I get bored and I don't find using the computer is useful if there are no tasks to do. I just feel that it is a complete waste of time continue sitting on the computer doing nonsense things so I logged out at 10:30 this morning, fixed our brunch and spent that intimate moment with my better half. Two hours later, we went to a Kid's Store and Furniture looking for something then headed to the Asian Market. We bought a couple of Asian stuff that I love and went home.

So that was pretty much what we did today. An hour later after we arrived home from the market, I decided to turn on my computer and see if there's good news on the internet. Tried opening two paid blogging sites and when I open the most favorite site, I was quite happy for I had a few tasks from them which I was happily did and got it all done in less than 30 minutes. That was easy and fast for there wasn't much in my dashboard. Thus, having those made my night...better than not doing anything useful ehhhh...

Trailer Hitches

2011-03-04T19:31:00.000-06:00

There were times from the past when my husband visited a couple of hitch stores in the local area trying to find that very hitch that would fit for the trailer he bought. We have been to 3 or four stores looking at trailer hitches just so he can hook up the trailer to our car. It was kind of hard to look for one because what they had didn't fit. I didn't know that same hitch he needed is available online. Why I didn't know this website before? I could have told my husband to try looking at it online so he can order one, he could have avoided wasting his time driving around just to get that very hitch he needed. Anyway, he got it all done and he successfully installed a trailer hitch on our white car so whenever he buys something big that won't fit inside the car, he will just use our trailer to transport the stuff.

Internet Disconnection

2011-02-25T15:26:00.000-06:00

My brother said that our internet connection in the Philippines has been disconnected after two attempts of trying as we no longer wish to continue our subscription from PLDT. There is no use to continue the service as their laptop computer is no longer functional. When I was still there, I really tried my best to discontinue the service before I could go back to America since it's on my name so I should be the one to go see the office staff and have it done.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do it until it was time for me to fly back here. I left a letter of disconnection to my mother and when she went to the office she was being refused just because I didn't leave any identification along with the letter. What a bummer, they didn't tell me that when I went their personally. So what I did, I used a document imaging instead of sending my real I.D or passport in the mail for I am afraid it will get lost in the mail. I am yet to call my mother to really confirm if it's truly disconnected now. Otherwise, they will be paying 350 pesos more on their bills every month if the internet is still there.

~ In Her Eyes ~

2011-02-19T14:22:00.000-06:00

This long poem is dedicated to the father of my child/ren, my husband.

In Her Eyes
© Michelle W. Emerson
The depth of a father's love shows in his daughter's eyes.
What's known is what's shown from sunset to sunrise.
A foundation built on more than just what is spoken.
It's commitments kept and promised that go unbroken.
An emotion so immense that nothing in this world can erase.
The permanent impression of love is tattooed upon her face.
A relation so peculiar that only the two can understand,
Yet so immaculate it's obvious that, by God, it was planned.

I believe it all began when she would sleep upon your chest.
Now you're her number one, her favorite, you're the best!
You move and she watches so closely it's as if she's in a trance.
The fact that she can repeat you, exactly, isn't just by chance.
From wrestling, racing, jump roping to being made up like a doll.
Both playmate and best friend, you've done some of it all.
A secret place, a look, special time just for her and you.
When a choice is to be made, it's all about what Daddy wants to do.
And you're there to cater to her every need and every wish.
There's an invisible pedestal for Daddy's little princess.
She's content just to be. She's filled with absolute bliss
Just to sit up under you, giving an occasional hug and kiss.
Sweet dreams are non-existent without Daddy's goodnight kiss.
Your gentle stroke, words just for her, your check on hers is what she'd miss.
It's simply because of how you love her, I surmise.
The depth of your love always shows in her eyes.

With you her laughter is harder and her smile is even brighter.
You have a friendship, a bond, a soul tie that couldn't be any tighter.
It's more than a special bond; it's an exclusive connection.
No room for a third party or attempted interjection.
This love is reserved just for Dad and no other.
It's not the same for siblings, not even for Mother.
It's the kind of love that I could never despise.
For the depth of your love always shows in her eyes.

To her, you'd give anything, but it's not about the gift.
It's that marvelous smile brought on by the spirit you lift.
It's not about what you can give her or about what you can do.
It's about the unconditional love reciprocated between you two.
It's the tears in her eyes when you two disagree.
Nothing's quite right until 'I love you and I'm sorry.'
It's that spunk in her step, the rainbow in her eye-
You'll know she's a Daddy's girl when she passes by.
She's got the kind of love that never fades or dies.
The depth of your love always shows in her eyes.

Upon angel wings you soar; your sparkling golden halo glows
Whenever she's with you, it's Heaven in her eyes that shows.
Her eyes hold a song so beautiful you'd think it was Heaven's melody.
It's the music of love's symphony composed by each precious memory.
The love known is the love you've shown from sunset to sunrise.
The depth of your love will forever show in your daughter's eyes.
