Weigh Tronix

2012-02-01T00:35:00.001+08:00

I have been searching for a nice gift for a friend's birthday next week. I don't know what will make her happy. It's so hard to buy a gift for her as she has everything. From clothes to shoes, bags and scrapping supplies. All I know is that she is conscious with her weight right now. So maybe a weigh tronix will make her happy on her birthday. Ok this will be my gift for her. I hope she will like it.

Study Table For Two

2012-01-25T15:13:00.001+08:00

photo grabbed from pinterest.

I really like that photo above. I saved it on my computer for future reference. I would love my two kids to have this when they starts to go to school. Such a space saver and very nice design too. It will be a very good study area near our living room. Will tell the husband about my plan about this so he can have it copied by our carpenter. I am one excited mom here!

Cowboy Themed Party

2012-01-25T15:07:00.001+08:00

Our family (dad's side) celebrates Christmas with a happy themed reunion annually. We had a Holywood Red Carpet theme last December and it was so nice! Next year it will be a white Christmas and we all should wear white. And I am so excited for that celebration! We haven't had a cowboy themed party so I am bookmarking this boots at BootCity.com. I will surely need this when the time comes. Isn’t the boots nice? I like it so much!

Dried Mango Strips

2012-01-25T14:55:00.001+08:00

My snack for this afternoon.

photo from the internet. not mine.

I have been munching this sweet treat from Cebu. Mom, Dad and my niece Nadine went there last week and have this as their pasalubong to us. I love dried mangoes! I hope to go back to Cebu soon. I have been there when I was in college and that was long long time ago! Now that I have a family it will surely more fun to travel. Will plan this trip soon.

The Beautiful Black Dress

2012-01-20T19:22:00.001+08:00

I saw some nice plus size dresses over at Sydney’s Closet today and I wish I have seen this when I was hunting for a dress for our family reunion last December. Plus size dresses will fit me now that I am pregnant. I had to wear a simple maxi dress as I didn’t find a nice dress fitted for me. But my relatives said I look good during the event. Oh well, maybe next time I will just look online or here at Sydney’s Closet if I need a formal dress for a special occasion.

New Theme

2012-01-20T19:20:00.001+08:00

I am thinking of changing my theme for this blog. But I don’t know where to find a nice theme. Can you suggest one? This blog badly needs a new look. I think this theme is ugly. Oh pregnancy hormones! Will try to look for a nice one later when my baby is asleep. If you know of a site where to get a free blogspot theme please link me up ok? Thanks!

New Netbook

2012-01-13T00:49:00.001+08:00

A friend just got her new netbook last Christmas. I was so happy for her as she will be able to work on her thesis now that she has a new laptop. There are a lot of good netbook computers out there. I have a good and still working one so I didn’t wish for a new laptop last Christmas. Now I will be able to catch my friend more often on YM. Yey! I am so happy!

Ok I am off to sleep now. It’s 1 am already. Good Night!

New Partner in 2012

2011-12-29T03:53:00.001+08:00

My friend is desperate to find a partner right now. She tried blind dating but no one is good to her. She is now considering of trying out the free dating online site that I gave her. I really do hope she will find someone out there.

I am thankful I found my Mr. Right 8 years ago. And I am so happy with my life right now. Thank Hon for coming along!

Barney at 3:27am

2011-12-29T03:31:00.001+08:00

Cate is watching Barney right now. And it is freaking 3:27am!!!

She is sick and she can’t sleep. Hubby and I asked her if she wants to watch Barney and she nod, so we let her. My poor baby! I hope she gets well soon. I can’t stand watching her weak and clingy.

Another tooth is popping out I guess that’s why she has fever.

Time Out

2011-12-29T02:04:00.001+08:00

Was doing some research on swimming pool supplies yesterday when my husband told me to dress up because we are going out for some family time. I stopped what I am doing because I am itching to go out and breathe fresh air. =)

I need to go out from time to time. I feel so bored sometimes when I am just in front of my laptop working. I hope to have some time out every week.

Thanks hubby for the time out. =)

Baby Boy

2011-12-29T01:58:00.001+08:00

My baby is kicking as of this writing. I love it!

I am sure I will miss this feeling when the baby comes out. Oh well, real kick will soon happen. =)

I am now on my 33rd week. Yikes! 7 more weeks to go and baby boy is out. And I am panicking as I still don’t have a second name for him! Oh my! I am thinking of getting the name of the Saint that represents the day of his birth. I just hope he will come out to the day of a good saints name!

Do you have a suggestion for a nice name? Let me know. Thanks!

Gift Shopping

2011-12-19T00:05:00.001+08:00

There are a lot of people at the mall yesterday. Thank God I didn't get dizzy and fall out. I was able to buy everything from my list. Will just wrap them up and give it on the 25th. I only got toys for some of my nephew and nieces. And I am sad not all of them can get a gift this year. We are having a crisis right now. Money problems here and there. We will just give them something in January or early February after we got our income from the car service.

Oh well, If you are having trouble on what to give to your nephew, brother or godson, you can buy the yoyofactory. It is a hit right now and I am sure boys will love playing them. I wish we have that toy here but I only saw it online and I don’t have money already! Ugh!

Breakdown Service

2011-12-19T00:00:00.001+08:00

Every time we are travelling I cannot stop to worry on car breakdown. I think I have a phobia now after what happened years ago in Manila where in we had a breakdown in Edsa and I was too afraid MMDA will catch us or tow us. Thank God my husband is a mechanic and he fixed the car after a few minutes. But even if he can fix the car we still need to find a good breakdown service. Anyone knows where we can get one? We will appreciate it if you can suggest one. Thanks!

Being a Mom

2011-12-18T02:21:00.001+08:00

I love being a mom right now. Cate is just too cute! I love my daughter so much! I have been thinking a lot lately what will be my life when this baby boy inside me comes out and greets the world “Hello!”. Will I still be able to touch my laptop? Blog? Or even check my FB account? I know me and Jun will be so busy by that time. Taking care of two kids are not easy. So I am taking most of my time right now to do what I need to do while I still have 1 child. A friend gave an advice that I will have a handful by the time my baby boy arrives, so make the most of today. I will surely follow her. Even if I will have less sleep, I will do everything that I need to do now.

Wish me luck in 2012!

Oh Christmas Tree

2011-11-20T23:33:00.001+08:00

Before I read this dual diagnosis treatment online, I wanted to share to all of you my excitement for tomorrow. Maybe you are asking now what’s with tomorrow? Is there a major event or celebration? Nah… I will just decorate our tree finally! haha! I got yah didn’t I?

Today we went shopping for Christmas ornaments. Yey! I already set up our tree the other day and I wanted to have a blue tree so I am not using some of the ornaments which was used last last year. Yes we didn’t set up a tree last year (2010). I guess we we’re too busy with the renovation of the house and the coming of my little one that time. Plus we were at my parents house when I gave birth last October.

Oh well, Weeeee!!! I am so excited to put those blue ornaments and Christmas lights that we bought today. I will surely take pictures and share them here soon. Wait for it ok?

Our Wish List This Year

2011-11-08T00:10:00.001+08:00

I already posted our family's wish list for the exchange gift on our family Christmas Party on Facebook which will be held end of December. I was looking at the top christmas gifts online but I didn't find anything that I really like. So I asked for something simple but will be useful for me and my family. I do hope my mommy will find a nice brand of the gift I asked him/her. Good luck mommy!

It’s A…

2011-11-07T23:10:00.001+08:00

BOY!!!!

Yes we are having a boy this time!

Quota na!

One girl and One Boy! Very very nice right? We are so happy with the news that we got. I had my first ultrasound today at Aquinas hospital. I was smiling from ear to ear when the doctor said that we will be having a boy this time. We are not particular on what gender we want but we are happy that we are blessed with a boy. I am so sure Cate is happy to be an Ate to her baby brother. I cannot wait to meet this little bundle of ours.

We love you baby boy!

Birthday party Invitations

2011-10-31T00:42:00.001+08:00

I have bookmarked a lot of sellers in Facebook that offers birthday party invitations a few months before my baby’s first birthday. But I never got to order from them. I opted for a more personalized invitation. I made it and have it printed at the developing center at the mall. And I am so happy the guest have been inquiring on where I ordered it. And whenever I tell them I made it they are amazed! Thanks for appreciating my work guys! I am blushing now. =)

EHD Now Working

2011-10-30T23:35:00.001+08:00

I was able to buy a new EHD cable wire. Woohoo! My EHD which contains my scrapping kits is now working and I can now scrap my heart out! Weeee!!! I visited 3 computer stores and nothing works for my EHD. Thank God the last store has one and was able to make it work. As I was paying for the wire, I saw their barcode scanners and canvassed on how much it was as my cousin was asking me the other day on where to get the cheapest bar code scanner for their gift shop. Now I have something to repost to her. I hope she'll find it cheap or else I will have to scout for a new barcode scanner.

slideshow

2011-10-16T07:03:00.001+08:00

I am doing my baby’s slide show for her first birthday party on Saturday. The venue said I can use their projector for free. I think they have an extra lcd projector bulbs there in case the one that is installed will be broken. I don’t want to have a cancelled slideshow in case their projector get broken. Oh well I don’t have to worry about that because I know that everything will be fine. I am just being positive about it. =)

EHD Cable Connector

2011-10-16T06:59:00.001+08:00

I am so pissed of this connector ever since it didn’t work. I badly need to replace it soon. I have all my scrapping supplies on my EHD and thank God it is only the connector that has a problem. Not the EHD itself. Or else it will go crazy losing my entire scrapping kits! I will need to visit our local computer shop to look for a replacement. I hope to find one soon.

High Chair Lover

2011-10-08T17:39:00.001+08:00

Whenever we are out to eat, Cate never passes to sit on a high chair. She just loves being in it while we eat. She loves to look around, discovering the lights and other restaurant equipment. She is just one curious baby. Some babies doesn’t want to be away from their mother’s and father’s when eating but not Cate. She is one calm and independent baby. I just love her to bits!

Stressful Week!

2011-10-08T07:51:00.001+08:00

I am still here busy with the party planning of my daughter's first birthday which is in two weeks already! I am one mom panicking right now. I still have a lot of things to accomplish. I do hope that this party will be a successful one. I have been having sleepless nights because of it. And I even forgot the favor that my cousin is asking me. She wanted me to look for Nursing Aide Jobs for her and her friend. Now she hates me! Ugh!

Sleepy Me

2011-09-19T03:40:00.001+08:00

I went to bed last night without turning this laptop off. I woke up with my screen directed to www.trustedquote.com. Either I accidentally entered the site or hubby used my laptop while I was sleeping. I was really sleepy since I was tired from the trip to Naga City for the Penafrancia Festival. It was a very fun event and at the same time tiring one. Cate enjoyed her trip too! I hope to catch sleep later after I am done with this blogging thing. =)

Lingerie Babydolls

2011-09-19T01:41:00.001+08:00

I was planning to buy some new lingerie the other day but hubby can't accompany me as he has some work to do that day. Plus I don't have someone to look over my baby that day too. So I am here looking at these gorgeous lingerie babydolls at www.lingeriediva.com. How I wish I can wear something like that too. Uhm maybe in the next few years time. haha!

Birthday Gift

2011-08-29T07:06:00.001+08:00

I am tired of looking at my iPhone with the same iPhone case. I wanted to get a Cath Kidston iphone case. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it on Facebook. It was like seeing a patterned paper in your iPhone! haha! A friend is selling but I cannot afford it right now. I have no savings yet. But 3 days from now its my birthday already and perfect time to reward myself for being a supermom right? Ok will ask hubby to buy me that as a gift. haha!

Pst! Look!

2011-08-29T06:40:00.001+08:00

If you want to lose weight fast click here for diet pills that work. A friend needs to see this link that's why I blogged about this. She was desperately looking for pills that really really works! Her weight is making her depressed and do self pity a lot. I want to help her ( at least by showing this link to her!) and I really do hope this will help her! Fingers crossed!

Something Borrowed OST

2011-08-29T06:34:00.001+08:00

I am now listening to the OST of my favorite movie. I downloaded this last week and it is now finished! Blame my slow moving internet connection as to why it is only now that I enjoyed this music. I love the soft sounds and how it calms my mind. Perfect for early morning blogging. I love my me time! I have time to do my work and enjoy music like these. Ahhhhh… freedom!

I Forgot, Sorry!

2011-08-20T12:47:00.001+08:00

I remember when we went to Davao during my brother’s wedding a friend emailed me for a favor. We will have a meet up that same day when he emailed me so I told him to repeat his favor later. He told me to buy dutch master cigars but I never paid attention to what he is telling me so I forgot it. So nothing for him when I went home. There’s nothing like that in Davao anyways. I just said sorry I forgot his request.

Simple Celebration

2011-08-05T09:41:00.001+08:00

My birthday is near and I can't wait for it to celebrate in Manila with my family. I don't expect hubby to buy roses or any expensive gift for me as spending time with him is what matters most to me. A simple eat out will be ok. And to think we are saving up for Cate’s 1st birthday party in October, I won’t ask for any gift now. A smile on my daughter’s face on her birthday will be the greatest gift for me and my husband. I am so excited for my birthday. I can’t wait!

But if given a chance that hubby bought me flowers then I will gladly accept it. Flowers are simple gift for women and they will always appreciate it.

Baby #2

2011-07-11T14:10:00.001+08:00

We are so happy to share the news that we are expecting baby #2 already. I am now 8 weeks pregnant. I was so worried at first because of the gap between the baby and Cate. I am afraid that I might not be able to give the attention to two kids. But with the help of friends and families I was able to accept the fact that this is it, I am having two kids now. And we wholeheartedly accept this wonderful blessing from God. Cate is now an Ate na! Kinda not yet used to calling my first born Ate but it sure does fits her. She is the perfect ate for her baby brother/sister. We cannot wait to finally meet you my little peanut. I hope I will have a healthy pregnancy and no complications. Please pray for me.

New Floors soon

2011-07-11T11:22:00.001+08:00

I was thinking of having a laminated floors for our living room up to the kitchen. But I am having trouble finding a good shop who laminate floors. Maybe will just have to tile the floors now. Hubby will also agree with me. Just thinking about the expenses this will really take a big part on our budget. Or we will just cancel this until the baby arrive early next year. I cannot wait for our house to have a new floors. The kids will surely love playing in the living room soon.

Naughty Kid

2011-07-11T11:17:00.001+08:00

My friends daughter is so naughty. The other day her mom told me that she played with her mom’s make up and scattered them all over the carpet. She is now learning games that are not appropriate to her age too. I am bothered. I hope my mommy friend will take action with her daughter’s actions. I hope her attitude is nothing serious. I am thinking of ADHD right now. Knock on wood I hope not!

Motorcycle Ride After Two years

2011-07-11T08:54:00.001+08:00

After almost 2 years I finally was able to ride a motorcycle again. Well that was last month when I am not yet pregnant. Yes you read that right, I am pregnant again for baby # 2. Cate will be an Ate na. And now I will miss riding a motorcycle once again as I am banned from riding it again. Maybe after 2 years again. huhuhu!

This is my sisters Suzuki Hayate scooter. We borrowed it to go to the motocross event near our place. It was fun to go to a place where you haven’t been to. A new discovery is always an amazing experience.

My Simple Friend

2011-07-10T23:28:00.001+08:00

A friend will be celebrating her birthday next week and I am cramming now on what to give her. I was planning to give her the gift basket special that I saw online. I think it will be a good gift for her. And good thing she is the type who is ok with everything. I am so happy that she is my friend. Not a very high standard lady. Pretty and simple too. See you soon my friend!

New Laptop For Sis

2011-06-22T02:11:00.001+08:00

The laptop that my sister is using is acting up already. It won't boot up when it is unplugged. I tried using it the other day and it just made me cranky. Oh well she should replace it with a new one or get the mini portables that we saw at the mall. Better to use a good and pricey one than the not so good in quality. Thank God my laptop is still in good condition (knock on wood).

No Gift

2011-06-21T23:33:00.001+08:00

We had a buffet lunch to celebrate Father's Day last Sunday. I was looking for some unique fathers day gifts but I ran out of time. So I gave nothing for dad. I will just make up for him this week. Will still try to look for a unique gift and give it as a late gift. Better late than never as they said. haha! What a very good daughter I am! But visiting the site I linked above gave me an idea on what to give to my dad. Will browse the site more. Latah!

Aching Body

2011-06-14T23:31:00.001+08:00

Before I say good night to all of you and hit the sack, I will just finish my rv emergency roadside assistance hunt so I can forward whatever I find to my cousin who is in need of this matter. I am tired already. My back is aching now. I need to lay my body to bed so I have the energy for tomorrow. my two lovies are sleeping already and I wanna join them now. So tah tah and good night for now.

Friend’s Graduation

2011-06-01T23:49:00.001+08:00

I saw my dear friend's graduation picture awhile ago over at her FB page. And it is so nice to see her wearing her toga. She is blooming and looking great now. She was my classmate before but she stopped and she was determined to finish college. Now she’ll reach her dream in no time.

I am so proud of her. She finally made it! Now I am off to get two curtis and co watches, one for me and one for my dear friend. She deserve this wonderful gift. Congrats my dear! Mwuah!

Weekend Lunch

2011-06-01T17:20:00.001+08:00

We always have a good family lunch during weekends prepared by my mom. We always visit them for some bonding and catch up time. Mom prepares lots and lots of food during these times. We are all present at my parents house. It is so nice to have time for family. I love my family so much!

The photo above is the sample of what menu my mom prepares every Saturday lunch. Yummy isn’t it? And lots of variety too!

After 45 Years

2011-05-25T00:36:00.001+08:00

Ok now I am alarmed that I am not losing my pregnancy weight! After seeing a friend's photo today and she was amazing! Two months after she gave birth and she is on they way to her pre pregnancy weight! Waaaahhh!!! I am way behind already! I blame it on the delicious foods that is served by our maid. And the weekend gathering at my parents house. She cooks yummy yummy foods and I just can't resist diving in them. hahahaha! Does this say "hcg platinum is here to help?" Nah, I will just be happy with my current weight. For sure I will lose them sometime. Maybe after 45 years. hahahah!

New Dresses for Cate

2011-05-24T18:36:00.001+08:00

I bought another set of cute dresses for my baby Cate yesterday and it arrived today. Weee!!! I cannot wait to try these on Cate. I love online shopping! If only I can get a payday advance then I will have a shopping spree for her once again. hihiih! I love seeing my baby wearing different dresses when going out. It is joy to me to see my baby is pretty in pictures too. =)

Baby Announcements

2011-05-22T02:03:00.001+08:00

If you are looking for some cute baby announcements you can go to this site http://www.paperculture.com/birth-baby-announcements-cards.html. I saw some really good ones there. I wanted to get one for my cousin who is giving birth soon. This will be my baby shower gift for her. My plan will be, put a note on a piece of paper that I will give her this gift. For sure she will be thrilled!

I Knew I Loved You

2011-05-22T01:59:00.001+08:00

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe
[chorus:]
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe
[repeat chorus]
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you
[repeat chorus to fade]

This is my song for my little Catie. I love her so much! This song is perfect for my love for her. She is one amazing baby and I love her to bits. Thank you God for giving her to us. We are so lucky!

Graduation Gifts

2011-05-04T23:47:00.001+08:00

It is school time once again on my part of the world and to those who got their personalized graduation gifts last March will be put on use this school year. Whether it may be a ball pen, notebook, bag or even an umbrella. For sure they are going to be taken out of its boxes and put into good use. I love it when I get personalized stuff. The recent item I got was a personalized gift tag. I already used them when I gave gift to Jun’s god daughter. And the impression of the receiver? Of course they love it! =)

Holy Week Vacation

2011-05-04T23:22:00.001+08:00

We went to Garchitorena, Camarines Sur last Holy Week. We stayed at my grandparents house for 4 days. Yes that long. No internet for me for 4 days! And I love it! I got to rest and be away with my laptop. I just spend my day with my family and relatives. Went to the beach and took lots of pictures. And oh I eat a lot during our vacation so I expect a few gained weight now. I also talked to my cousin about the creatine supplements he is taking. Been wanting to ask him about it. Our vacation is the best. I enjoyed it and I hope to go back there next Holy Week.

Hello Mayon!

2011-05-04T23:02:00.001+08:00

This was taken at our backyard last April 26, 2011.

I am so proud that I live near the majestic Mayon. And I am happy to see her almost everyday. I say hi to her whenever I got a chance. It is pure joy to be able to watch this beautiful scene at our own backyard!

Hello Mayon! It is so nice to see you again today!

2 Step Tool

2011-05-02T00:04:00.001+08:00

It is always a problem to me to close the window at the kitchen area. It was too high for me! Hubby must be thinking he has a 6 foot tall wife. hahahha! I guess I need to buy one of the 2 step stools that I saw at the hardware section at the mall now. I hate getting a chair just to close that window. I hope to find a cheaper one as I have no budget for this. Good Luck to me!

Yawn!

2011-05-01T23:59:00.001+08:00

I hate it when you have to do lots of things and you are so sleepy already! Hmp! I have lots of work to do and here I am yawing every 3 minutes! Grrrr!!! My eye’s are dropping already. Someone get me a toothpick!!! I cannot think well if I am sleepy so I might just postpone doing this things until tomorrow. I might be productive by then.

Ok one more task and I am hitting the sack.

New Brother Printer

2011-04-26T10:37:00.001+08:00

Mom has a new digital camera, laptop and printer from work. I envy her as she can get those things without a cash out. I wish I have a work just like hers so I can request for an iPad2. ahahhaha! I've been wanting to try those brother printers that I saw at the mall. Now I can do it as mom told me the other day that I can try printing in her new printer. She told me that it prints nice photos. Perfect timing as I need to print a photo for my next paper scrapping layout. I just need to buy a textured photo paper this week and I am off to my parents house to print. Weeee!!!

Mojo Where are you?

2011-04-26T10:27:00.001+08:00

I am so lazy after our vacation last Holy Week. I just can’t find my mojo to start working. I guess they are right, we need to rest after a vacation. Weird right? Anyways, I hope you all had a great Holy Week. Mine was super fun! I got to spend it with my family. Cate enjoyed Garchitorena though she can’t sleep that much at my grabd parents house. Namamahay ata. Right now she is recharging (sleeping). So that means I need to take advantage of my free time. I need to start working or else I may get a spank on my butt. tah tah!

Energized!

2011-04-03T07:43:00.000+08:00

Good Morning!

Ok now I am energized to blog! All I really need is rest. Thank God!

Or maybe these bridal gowns that I saw on one site from a friend this early in the morning brought the mojo in me. Thank you beautiful gowns! haha!

Wait, I am hungry already. Let me just eat my breakfast and I will go on with my usual routine.

Will blog more often. Will try. wink!

Blank

I don’t know what to blog.

I wanted to post something really interesting when my mind goes blank. I hate this feeling! And I am experiencing it more often after the baby is born. I guess being an operated person affects everything. Ugh!

So what do I write now?

Wait.

Let me check my Google Reader first.

Ok nothing. Nothing is coming out of my head. Pardon me.

Will just sleep now and rest. I hope tomorrow will be a productive one.

Tahtah!

Meet someone

2011-03-31T00:12:00.001+08:00

I don’t know if I already posted this one here but I will just do it again. I just love this quote that I found online. Super true! I totally agree with this!

I need this to remind myself that I need to have a social life and stop sitting in front of my laptop.

Oh well I am still here and no social life. Poor me! =(

Those Arms!

2011-03-30T22:41:00.001+08:00

Look at those arms! Yaiks! I still need to lose weight! But I am still thankful because I am slowly going back to my pre pregnancy weight. I cannot wait to fit into my old clothes! As of now mom’s clothes are my best friends. yes I am that big! haha!

I was researching on the lipozene side effects since this morning as I intend to take it soon. A friend tried it and it has served her well. She really lost all those bulges! I cannot wait to see the results on me too!

What Am I Doing?

2011-03-30T22:17:00.001+08:00

I am currently browsing my friend’s digiscrap gallery. Ever since I adore her scrap pages. It is so beautiful I wish I also have the same talent as hers. I sometimes try to imitate her style but my work is nothing compared to her. Sadly she gave up her hobby a few years ago. I miss seeing her pages. I hope she will go back to scrapping soon. I am so inspired by her.

Frustrated Billiard Player

2011-03-27T20:24:00.001+08:00

Hubby loves watching billiards on TV. There is one time that he played billiards with my brothers in Legazpi. And alas he won! I was so surprised when he told me he won. He doesn’t have a formal training in playing it but he managed to play really well. Good job my dear! I am so proud of you!

And because of that I was thinking if I will get him billiards supplies for his birthday. He can use it whenever my brother’s will ask him to go out and play billiards.

Baby Talk with Jacq

2011-03-26T00:17:00.001+08:00

I was just talking to my dear friend Jacq on YM a few hours ago. Our topic? Babies and shopping! =) I love it when we talk about babies and of course shopping! haha! Jacq is on her 36th week going 37 on Tuesday already. A few more weeks and her baby will be out! She is so excited to give birth! And I am so excited for her too! I can't wait to see her baby's first photo.

She was also updating me about her recent OB check up and that baby Ella is fine. I am sure she also hear her baby's heartbeat on the fetal doppler. When I was pregnant with Cate I am always excited to hear her heartbeat. Makes my heart smile with gladness!

To my dear friend Jacq take care always and have a safe delivery!

I love Ipad

2011-03-15T22:52:00.001+08:00

I am loving dad’s Ipad. Yes I don’t own one as of this moment. I use my dad’s Ipad from time to time when he is in the office. I was left at home so I have the time to use it. And my verdict? I still love my iPhone. It’s small and easier to use when you are taking care of a baby like my little Cate. I can’t use the iPad as it is big and heavy while taking care of Cate. But I love the high definition of the images, videos and games. And with the newly released iPad2 with the built in camera makes me want to think twice on my verdict on iPad. haha!

Baby Dust

2011-03-15T21:04:00.001+08:00

I was doing a research on the zero turn mowers when I saw an update on my twitter on my rockmelt browser. And when I checked it was an announcement from my friend that she is pregnant to her second baby! I am so happy for her! She wanted this thing to happen this year and it came true! Things are happening as planned for her. And this adds up to my friends who are pregnant this year. I think I know 9 friends who are pregnant right now. Wow! Baby dust is really working!

Slow Internet

2011-03-15T15:12:00.001+08:00

We have a very slow internet yesterday. I was wondering why already when my friend who works from Bayantel tweeted that due to EAC cable cut Japan to US. Network affected with high latency. Now I know why the internet is slow. I was downloading scrap kits and I wasn’t able to finish anything. Mojo was high yesterday and was gone now. I hope it will go back tomorrow as I am still downloading the scrap kits now.

Hello Mayon!

2011-03-03T23:36:00.001+08:00

I am happy that every weekend we got to spend time with Ms. Mayon Volcano. This was taken at Embarcadero Boulevard last February 20. My family went there early in the morning to jog and the get some fresh air. This is our time to bond with each other. To spend time and get a healthy body through exercise.

Mayon is so lovely isn’t she? I love this photo so much! I want to frame this. Will put this in my “to print” folder.

Anyways, I might get shari's discount online as a gift to my friend who will be celebrating her 25th birthday next month. I need to search for other gift ideas as well for another friend’s graduation this March. Yes I am such a gift giver. I love giving gifts!

Cate’s Baptism

2011-03-03T14:24:00.001+08:00

She is now a Christian. Welcome to the community baby!

She was baptized last February 27th at St. Jude Thaddeus Church in Legazpi City. And the reception was held at AVP Catering Services.

The celebration was a blast! Everyone enjoyed the party! I love having successful parties. I am so excited to plan the next celebration which is Cate’s 1st birthday in October. Woot!

Thank you all for coming!

Scramble

2011-02-20T20:16:00.001+08:00

Whenever we go to SM Naga I never let it pass to buy this yummy scramble. I love buying scramble when I was in elementary and this one is a cleaner version. My mom said that the one being sold outside our school is dirty and I shouldn’t buy those. And it’s been ages since I tried scramble. Thank God for stores like this I can eat this yummy desert once again. Set aside your diet pills first and try this. It’s is good I tell you!

To Buy Tanning Lotion?

2011-02-20T19:05:00.001+08:00

All my life I wanted to have fair skin. Even when I was younger I remember being so envious on my classmates who have white skin. And because of that I ask mom if I she can buy me whitening soap when she goes to the grocery. Some of my friends says that I already have a fair skin already and I don't need those whitening pills nor soaps. But I don’t see it when I am facing the mirror. I always think I am still too dark. So I just laughed when a friend asked me if I want to buy tanning bed lotions from her. I mean that is so funny right? Why ask the one who is desperate enough to get whiter skin to buy a tanning lotion? Duh!

Bold Wall

2011-02-20T00:40:00.001+08:00

A bold wall is what I need for my scrap space inside our bedroom to let creative juices flowing. I like the photo above. Super love it! I think it is a nice area for creating scrapbook pages. Whether digital or traditional scrapbook pages. And that cute bed is so nice. I can just lay there and use my laptop when surfing the net. I am keeping this photo for inspiration.

I am kinda sleepy already but I need to stay awake for some online tasks. I am off to check the extenze side effectsthat a friend suggested to me the other day so bye for now!

The Stalker

2011-02-19T14:18:00.001+08:00

I was reading this dermitage reviews when I realized I haven't eaten my lunch. I remember my brother calling me to eat already but I was putting Cate to sleep so I said I will just go out when Cate is asleep. But the internet addict me checked my facebook account once again when Cate slept and I am glued. An hour after I realized I am hungry. haha! This happens when you are stalking someone’s FB page. LOL!

Netbooks

2011-02-17T01:13:00.001+08:00

My friend got her mom a new desktop on her birthday. She was looking for a nice netbooks online when she decided to get a desktop instead. Her mom stays most of the time at home anyways. She is such a good daughter. I wish I have money so I can buy mom an Ipad. =D

If you are looking for the best netbooks online, you can go to www.thesource.ca. They have all the best netbooks that you like. I am just staring at the nice deals on netbooks on this site. Sigh!

futon Cover

2011-02-04T16:20:00.001+08:00

It's been a long time since we have the one and only slipcover and never replaced it. So imagine the look of that slipcover. Washed over and over again. haha! I am thinking of getting a new futon cover but where will I get it? And the next thing on my mind is that I have no money right now. This means I need to save first for it and be contented with that old and torn slip cover. Ugh! I just hope there is money that will come my way soon.

Giveaways

2011-02-02T18:56:00.001+08:00

I am now looking for giveaway ideas for Cate's baptism. I saw some tradeshow giveaways which I can also use as her giveaway but I wanted something unique and pink. I saw crochet booties, baby bottles, chocolate and towel cupcakes. I am still deciding and consulting my husband on what’s the best giveaway for our little one. I do hope I will find something 2-3 weeks from Cate’s baptism date. Or else I will be in panic mode once again.

Wish me luck!

Good Make Up artists

2011-01-23T03:58:00.001+08:00

I am watching America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 right now on ETC channel. I researched and Teyona Anderson won this cycle. I love her beautiful face. She is indeed a model. I wonder if those make up artists that do their make ups for every photo shoot went to Regency Beauty Institute. They are so good! I love all the make up of the contestants. The beauty really pops! And I think Regency Beauty institute is the best school for beauty learning. you should check them out and be one of their best sought graduates in the united States. Go now and make other peoples face beautiful!

This blog post was based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com or contact Regency Beauty Institute – 10217 North Metro Parkway West – Phoenix, AZ 85051

Tomorrow

2011-01-16T00:13:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow we will go to our house and start cleaning. It will be a general cleaning as the whole place is a mess. The renovation of our bedroom is now finished and in 2 weeks or so we can go back to our house finally! I will bring Cate tomorrow but she will stay in the car as it will be too dusty in there. I will ask my sister to be the baby sitter tomorrow. She didn’t replied when I asked her but I hope she’ll come. Oh well, I will just finish my lipozene search and then I am off to bed. Night!

Our Noche Buena

2011-01-15T16:33:00.001+08:00

This was the Noche Buena we had last Christmas 2010. We had Chicken, Spaghetti, Buko salad, Siopao, Chocolate Cake, chiffon Cake, Quezo De Bola, Embotido and Vegetable Salad. I was hungry already at 11pm so when the clock strikes 12, I immediately asked the family to gather and eat. So what if I gain weight after eating this I will just take the slimming tablets that mom have. hahaha!

My New Do

2011-01-14T20:22:00.001+08:00

Out with the old. in with the new… New Do it is!

This is me right now. Yes a new look for me this year. I got a chance to have a make over last December 31st. Cate permitted me to have an appointment at the salon that time and I am so thankful she just slept the whole time I was away. Thanks to my husband who took charge. Love you Honey!

I am loving my face right now. Don’t you? I have no pimples since I got pregnant. No more acne serum to look for as of now. I love it! I just hope it will continue this way. No more problems on how to cure the acne on my face.

Sleepy Me

2011-01-10T00:10:00.001+08:00

I am so sleepy already but this baptism planning for my little Cate is keeping me awake and feeling very high! Ugh! I also need to read the pci compliant hosting that a friend suggested to me the other day. And I still have tasks to do. huhuhu! Sleep please visit me now. And what’s this? backache is killing me as well. Waaaahh!!! If I won’t finish my work tonight I will just wake up early later. So bye for now as I will lay my head in bed and hoping Mr. Sleep will visit me already.

Gift for Grandma

2010-12-27T10:18:00.001+08:00

It has been years since we gave grandma a gift so I wanted to give her something special. When I asked her what gift she want to receive from us, she told me that she wanted some beautiful garden flags, but it was not available at the mall so I got new garden utensils instead. She haven’t received it yet and I hope she won’t read this post until we give her gift to her. She’s not into internet and computers anyways.

Cash Advance

2010-12-27T09:27:00.001+08:00

After all the shopping we had, our wallets are now empty. We need money right now as we are renovating our bedroom. I might try the cash advance method that my friend suggested to me. She said it is fast and easy to use. She tried it and she was happy with the service. I just hope that it will be easy to use for me and we will get the money asap as we badly need moolah right now.

Happy Holidays!

2010-12-25T16:45:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas everyone!

God Bless!

Jun, Diane and Cate

Car Insurance

2010-12-24T23:26:00.001+08:00

We went to SM Naga yesterday and hubby thought of dropping by Toyota Naga to follow up on the plate and registration of our car. But we got so busy shopping for Christmas gifts so hubby forgot to drop by before we head home. He said he will just check it next week. How I wish we can just go online and check the insurance just like the estatecarinsurance.com site offers. It is easier to get it online right?

Arthritis Treatment

2010-12-11T20:47:00.001+08:00

My uncle is telling me to find some treatments for arthritis on the web last month. He was suffering from bad case of arthritis. And he kept on bugging me about it so I searched the web and found one at www.treatmentsforarthritis.org. I am suggesting this site to him and print the information in this site as well so he can read more information about the matter. I just hope I helped him in his situation.

My Wallet

2010-12-10T10:11:00.001+08:00

These are the gifts I received from my SIL who went home from Kuwait last June. I super love the color and how big this wallet was. And it has credit card slots in it where I can put my cards. As of today I still use this and have no plan of replacing this unless it is damaged already. Thanks Ate Shiela for these gifts I love it so much! Thanks You!

Memory Foam Mattress

2010-12-09T00:24:00.001+08:00

Soon I will be getting a new bed for our newly renovated bedroom. We will be upgrading from a single bed into a queen size one. I think we will get one over at Uratex in Pili where my brother got their King size bed last month. I am also getting a memory foam for my husband. He’s been suffering from neck pain recently. And this memory foam mattress sale over at livingincomfort.com is timely. I will browse their site and hopefully get what I wanted.

Leggings and Tutus

2010-11-29T02:02:00.001+08:00

I love window shopping online. I saw this somewhere (sorry I forgot the link) while looking for free directories online. The dresses and leggings are to die for. Someday Cate will be using those things and I hope I will find similar ones at our local mall. Plus that tutu is so in right now. I saw a lot of little girls wear those, specially on parties. And I think it is cute. I just hope that when Cate reaches the age 7 or 8 she can still wear a tutu.

Depression

2010-11-29T01:17:00.001+08:00

I was experiencing depression the other day. I think it was a mild post partum depression. I envy my husband who can mingle with his friends while I am at home taking care of Cate. I miss going out and meeting new friends. I miss having the time of my life. I headed to depressiontreatment.net site and learned that there’s still cure to depression like what I experienced. Thank God for sites like this where you can get answers if you have a lot of questions from your head.

Sleep

2010-11-19T14:48:00.001+08:00

I need to read more articles about natural diuretics but I am too sleepy. Cate is awake almost every two hours last night and I think I only slept 4 hours or less. I work on my bed and the soft sheets makes me want to lay down and close my eyes even if I need to accomplish a lot of things before the little girl wakes up. Ugh!

Breastfeeding

2010-11-13T20:16:00.001+08:00

I am breastfeeding Cate to give her enough nutrition. I intend to do this until 2 years and beyond or until I have supply. This is new to me as I only got to breastfeed my first born for 2 weeks. He never suck milk from me so I just rely to pump my milk. And with Cate I am happy that she is drinking milk from me. Now what I need to do is to learn how to increase breast milk production so Cate will get enough milk from me.

Expired

2010-11-13T13:50:00.001+08:00

As I was browsing the garage door parts that my husband is looking for the other day, I remembered that I haven’t done any of my tasks. So I checked my dashboard but to my surprise all of it expired! Yaiks! I really need to be more industrious in finishing my tasks on time. I need motivation in doing my work these days. I guess my mojo in blogging went with my delivery. hahahah!

Medicare

2010-11-13T12:56:00.001+08:00

Medicare plan is a great help specially to people who cannot afford hospitalization and healthcare. I salute all the people connected to Medicare profession as they help a lot of people.

We visited my sick uncle last November 1 at his house. I pity him so much. How I wish I have the time to take care of him. Thank God to people who loves and take care of him while he is sick. And I thank Medicare for his health care. My uncle is single and he is now in his 70’s. I pray that he will be fine. We will visit him again soon.

Bedroom and Bathroom Renovation

2010-11-11T19:36:00.001+08:00

We are currently waiting for the carpenters to finish working at my parents house so they can start renovating our bedroom and bathroom. I am thinking of putting wall tiles on our bathroom. It’s been 4 years since it was worked on and never got to finish it. So this will be the perfect time to paint it and put on some orange tiles in it. Yes you read that right we are going to have an orange bathroom. I am so excited as I type this. I’ve been longing to do this for a long time.

We will need new and beautiful tiles to install in our bathroom so I am in the hunt right now for that. I asked a friend for some suggestions on where to get bathroom furniture and tiles. She gave me www.betterbathrooms.com as they tried them when they constructed their first house. And when I opened the site it was really a bathroom accessories heaven. They got everything I need! I am drooling on their photos! How I wish I can have a bigger bathroom but nah our house is small so no big bathroom for us.

If you also need some furniture, taps, baths, showers, mirrors, and bathroom accessories just visit betterbathrooms site. They have a nice range of bathroom necessities at affordable price. I am sure they have what you are looking for.

Yellow Door

2010-11-07T15:40:00.001+08:00

Look at that beautiful yellow door! I want to have one like that in our house. I am thinking of painting yellow or red the back door in the kitchen. It will be a good area for portrait photography isn’t it? Oh well will just wait for the right time for our back door to be painted. I will just look for some Branson tickets that my friend is asking me to do since yesterday. Later!

Never complain

2010-11-01T12:17:00.001+08:00

Mom renovated the dirty kitchen but I wasn’t impressed by the result. She should have installed the glass tile that I was suggesting to her. It will look more beautiful than what it looks like right now. Oh well what has been done is done so I just let it be. My mom is happy with it and I should never complain. It is not my house anyways! haha!

Christmas Décor Shopping

2010-10-28T05:14:00.001+08:00

I went to the mall yesterday and I forgot to check put the prices for the outdoor Christmas decorations that my mom is asking me to do. She is planning of setting up the tree and put on Christmas decors as early as now. I wanted to put up our own tree but sadly I still don’t have a budget for new ornaments to hang. So I'll just wait for the next payday and hopefully have an extra money for my Christmas décor shopping.

Sleepless Nights

2010-10-27T13:23:00.001+08:00

… is starting now in my life.

With a baby to take care of, dark circles will surely build up on my eyes. But who cares as long as I am having a grand time taking care of my baby. I will sacrifice my sleep for this cute little bundle of ours. She’s taking most of my time now. Breast feeding every 2-3 hours. I love being a mom. It gives me and my husband a lot of happiness.

3am

2010-10-25T03:08:00.001+08:00

I am still wide awake and it’s 3am already.

I am finishing work as the deadline is near. My boss might spank me if I didn’t accomplish what I need to do. I think I will be needing sleep aids later. I need sleep because I still need to take care of my baby Cate. Ugh!

Will just finish a few more tasks and I am off to tuck myself to bed.

Good night!

I Gave Birth…

2010-10-25T00:16:00.001+08:00

To a very beautiful baby girl last October 17. And as of now we are enjoying her presence. I love smelling her baby smell. I love her to bits. We are so thankful for her. Thank God for this wonderful blessing! We are so lucky to have her.

Now she takes most of our time that is why I can’t hardly update this blog. I also have a lot of pending tasks and reading the colon cleansers article that my cousin told me to do. I also want to scrap but mojo isn’t visiting as of now.

In short I am one busy mom now. =)

A friend

2010-10-22T13:41:00.001+08:00

Me and my husband had a chit chat last night. We are talking about our friend who shared the proactive reviews to us a few days ago. She was asking us if we want to try proactive. But what struck us is her new look. She looked different from the last time we saw her. We are so happy for her new look. This only means her life is changing. And I do hope it is for the better. We are wishing her lots of luck.

The Priority Test

2010-10-10T20:11:00.001+08:00

You Have Your Priorities in Order

For you, your career is usually your number one priority.

You don't mind having things to get done... as long as they don't pile up on you.

You attend to almost every priority in your life. You don't neglect much.

You want money to be a high priority, but you don't often get around to it.

The Priority Test

Work is Hard. Time for Blogthings!

As much as possible I want my priorities done before I get lazy again. I tend to procrastinate always. It is my hobby. LOL! I am happy that the result of this quiz is that I have my priorities in order.

New Gas Stove

2010-10-10T20:06:00.001+08:00

We are using a single burner gas stove ever since we moved into our new house. And when the 3 year old gas stove broke we decided to buy a new one. And upgraded into a two burner gas stove. I am so pissed when the fire is so slow when I am cooking on the old one. Thank God we were able to buy a new one now. I was one happy cook when hubby installed this a few weeks ago.
