Tomorrow

Wednesday, May 14, 2008

I am so excited tomorrow because I will be meeting another friend of Rosit and I heard nice things about her from Rosit and Allona and tomorrow is the day. We are going to bake something tomorrow too and Rosit will be making some Filipino food. I am glad that I am able to do this every once in a while with friends. Frankie will also be playing with 5 other kids. I have so many places to stop tomorrow before I head out there. I really can't wait because I surely need a break. I have been writing too much lately and it will be a wonderful break tomorrow.

My Style

More and more women these days are choosing to wear pants than skirt to work. I don’t blame them because pants have truly offered comfort especially when you take public transportation to work. I love wearing pants too especially Dockers pants because I really don’t need to worry about color coordination because it goes with about any top. I used to hate it before when I have to decide what color of the top to wear which I find time consuming. Now just throw a top with a pair of pants then i'm set.

Among the celebrities I really like the style of Mandy Moore. She is a real beauty and an icon of simplicity and charm. You don’t really see her with flashy clothes and of course who can forget that lovely voice. I have seen all the movies she was in and not even one that I have seen her with revealing clothes. In most of the movies she was actually wearing top and a pair of pants. My style is the same. I love wearing pants and as long as I am presentable, I am good. I don’t wear accessories either just my wedding ring and watch and I am ready to go. In this connection, if you love your pants I encourage you to join the Dockers contest and submit your own Dockers commercial. If you are 18 years old and older give this a try. I'll be fun.

It Finally Came

I have been waiting for Frankie's baby keepsake since the 6th week I saw my OB last year. Well I didn't really asked for it either. I was just waiting that they will hand it to me. I already went for my a year check up and it didn't come up to my mind to ask them about the his little shoe but it came in the mail today. Since I won't be going back there till June for my ultrasound. It is so pretty though and I will get a nice glass container for it when I go to Michaels later today.


Abingdon Rug Outlet

I always think that area rugs make a house more appealing but of course it has to complement with the rest of the home décor. So what is your style when it comes to your area rug(s)? Are you the traditional or contemporary type? You could also be oriental or southwestern. Regardless what your style is www.abingdonrugoutlet.com has a wide selection of area rugs that will absolutely suit your taste at a very affordable price. High quality rugs is what they specialize no wonder they were voted as the 2007 Rug retailer of the year. Look through their area rug brands to start shopping plus free shipping in most of the area rugs and enjoy manufacturer’s warranty.

MA Online

I graduated from Cebu Normal University with my Bachelors Degree in Social Science. When I first got here, I started working with my MA at Governors State University while working but that didn't go nowhere because I didn't like it at all. That was why later on I started taking business classes through Target. Anyways, about a month ago I received an email from someone who went to the same school as I do who is already teaching here in the US. I guess our old school is offering master's degree online. It is another alternative for teachers rather than going to an expensive school here. It is also only offered to those who are working or teaching abroad. I was a little bit interested but Ryan wants me to take the classes in a US school than this one. So we have to look into this more. The classes/credits might not be accredited then it will be a waste.

Watch Frontier(s)

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

It has been a long time since I have seen a movie that I consider scary. I have seen movies who claimed to be scary and gory but it is not even close to my expectation. I enjoy scary movies a lot but sometimes with the movies lately it is boring to even waste my time but I don’t think it goes the same with the movie Frontier(s) though. What I liked about it is, it’s uncut, uncensored and it will be shown to the public for only a week. I would love to watch it in the theater but I can’t with my son so I will be looking forward for the DVD that will be out this week. You can check out select theater listings if you would like to watch it in the theater.

Unknown

What makes this movie unique is because of the NC-17 rating they got for “extreme sadistic gore and violence” that they can’t show it in a regular way. It is either they edit/change the movie or show it to the public the way it should be at a limited time and they chose the latter. They have worked hard to bring the movie to this level so it was meant to be seen original, uncut and uncensored. If scary movie is your thing, then you will like this movie.

There Goes The Training

I was ambitious. After Frankie's first birthday we decided to get him a potty training toilet (is that what you call it?). After all it was his birthday money and we will eventually need one anyway so might as well get one. I said before that I exactly know when he goes poop and if I can only let him sit on it and go there then it would be perfect. Well the first day came I was so excited but mind you, he was only 12 months. This was a few days after his birthday. When he got up, I took him to the bathroom and took his diaper off. I let him sat down hoping he can poop in it. Well he actually peed but when he realized that he was sitting on the toilet, he stopped peeing (holding it off), got up and started crying running away from it. Now it has been sitting in the bathroom and I haven't tried it again with him with so much going on here but hopefully soon I will be able to resume.

Car Loans For Those Who Have Bad Credit

Bad credit can be a hindrance in getting a Car Loan. When Ryan and I went to get my car, they checked our credit scores and credit history to see if it will affect us from applying for a car loan. Fortunately, our credit is good but how about those who have less than perfect credit? Does it mean they will never be able to drive their own car because they have bad credit? After all everybody needs a car to get to work to pay bills. Now car loans for those who have good credit is a thing in the past because at www.completeloansource.com they have Bad Credit Car Loans. Everybody now has the chance to get that new or used car regardless of your past or present credit. Most of all you can apply online to eliminate hassle.

Grandma's Call

Grandma has been calling me over two months now but our schedule just doesn't match. There were a couple of times that I was running to pick up the phone but she already hang up or I am getting ready to call her back and Frankie got up from his nap. Last night was the first time we talked. We were on our way out to go shopping so I decided to give her a call while in the car. I was giggling. It is always so comforting to talk to her. Like Ryan's other relatives she is also eager to have Papa here with us. She kept asking when will be come over. I think it has been like that since the time she knew he was coming. Well anyways, during the conversation Grandma told me that they were both going to church but she didn't want to hang up the phone so she told me that Grandpa will be driving away and that she might just disappear and she did after a few minutes. She has so many things to tell me about church and I also have so many things to tell her but I will call her again sometime when I get a chance. I forgot to tell her too that we will be visiting them this July.

VistaPrint Coupons

My son’s 1st birthday was coming up and I was getting nervous where to get the invitation. I wanted something unique and I have been going from one website to the other but their invitations were quiet expensive until I came across VistaPrint from one of my friend’s blog. I like the selection of designs they have for invitations. Look at what I came up for Frankie’s first birthday.

It was so easy to make the invitations your own that is why I am so pleased with everything that next time I will check them out again. They don’t only have invitations but they also offer
business cards, checks, address labels, pens, t-shirts, calendars, custom hats and more. With my invitations I also ordered a couple of stamps at a very affordable price. Now it is even better because they are offering vistaprint coupons, deals and specials. This is also a chance for business owners to save even more with their 80% off on business cards. Address labels will be convenient too because it is self-sticking and only starting at $1.49 and 80% off to save even more. Check out their custom hats too for 50% off. It will be a perfect father’s day gift. If savings and quality is what you have in mind then get all your printing needs from VistaPrint. They print anything to your specifications.

Wanting To See It Again

Ryan decided to take off today because he wants to take a look at the piece of land again before we do anything. We got up really late and headed out supposedly to the Filipino restaurant for lunch but we didn't realize that they close at a certain time. So we ended up heading to the property. We were able to take a good look at it this time. We even went to the property itself this time and I have seen a couple of houses that were there too. The land had some pine trees and the grass are coming in nice. So I think we may have to see how much is the land tax next because besides the monthly payment we have to pay land tax too and where the school will be. I am not sure really what we are going to do next. Hopefully we will be able to decide soon or who knows we might just surprise ourselves. It is quiet far but then again at the end it is still our decision.

Payday Loan Helps

Have you ever notice when one thing goes wrong the rest just follows. I remember last year, we needed to take the van to get it checked because its check engine light went off. Then that very day our heater just stopped working. It was blowing air but not hot air to heat the house. So we have to contact a heating and cooling guy to fix it. So do see what I mean? Those were unexpected things that we were not prepared for. Before payday loans, we will probably end up borrowing money from relatives which I don’t like because I don’t want to be indebted to someone. Good thing there is payday loans that can help us get by until the next day payday. It is even better now because you can apply for a Payday Loan online eliminating hassle and being in line. At www.paydayloansmania.com they know that fast and easy money is what you need that is why they try to be fast and friendly as well and as little as less than an hour you will know if you are approved or not. On your next emergency money needs visit www.paydayloansmania.com and be blown away with their exceptional service.

A Single Rose

Monday, May 12, 2008


Frankie was so fascinated with the rose Ryan gave me for mother's day. He kept on pointing at it while it was on the table in a vase. I guess that is the first time he has seen one. I kept telling him how beautiful it is and it is called a rose and its color is red. I also made him touch it so that he knows how it feels. There were still thorns on it and I showed it him how sharp it was. He was listening to me so attentively. Just look at how interested his face is when I was showing him the parts of the flowers. Isn't kids amazing? They learn so quick.

Upside Living

One of the many things I like to look for when I visit a friend’s house is how they add the accessories in their house to complement it with the wall colors and the rest of the home décor. My friend Daphne and her husband Jack are really good in putting things together. You can also see the taste of a person through the accessories or decorations they use in their house. Just like the home décor that I found at Upside Living. Upside Living has a beautiful selection of home décor, garden décor, unique gifts and more to make your home even more beautiful. What I loved so much is the collection of floral designs they have. It was carefully put together utilizing the highest quality of artificial flowers leaving your guest guessing if the arrangement is real or not. Just look at the beautiful Tulip Buds (red/gold) in Honeycomb Vase Silk Floral below, can you even tell if it’s artificial? I can’t.

Browse to the different décor they have to get started such as their exceptional garden products to wind chimes and weathervane. Not only that, they also have unique gift suggestions for weddings, special occasions and even gifts for special interest. Now luxury is just a click away with Upside Living.

Baking Soda

About two years ago a co-worker and friend Daphne gave us their dining table because they wanted to buy a new one. When she asked me about it without hesitation I said yes or else they will end up throwing it away. It was nice and the seats covered in vinyl. It was white too and you can obviously tell that it has been used for so long. She was a little embarass giving it to us without her cleaning it thoroughly but I told her I can always clean it myself.


Well, I didn't know how to clean it actually since I never had anything like it. Before we left Daphne told me to use baking soda to clean it. So I thought baking soda for cleaning? She said just get a clean cloth, wet it with water and dip it in a dish of baking soda and start rubbing it to the area you want cleaned. I was a little skeptical before when I tried it but it worked. I was also able to restore the old color and clean it. Baking soda surely made wonders.

St. Barts

Are you looking for a beautiful place to visit this summer? It could be with beautiful pristine beaches or a place to go for a high-end designer shopping, perhaps? Then you should visit St. Barthelemy or also known as St. Barts. There are a lot of hotels that you can find through out the island but looking for St. Barts villa rentals is the most affordable and suggested way to enjoy the place. You can choose from hillside locations or beach fronts. It is also wise if you are going as a family because you can always get a villa for as many as 6 bedrooms for the entire family to fit. Have fun at St. Barts.

Clean As A Whistle

I couldn't be happier yesterday. I kept myself from the internet since Saturday and I decided to write my pending tasks in the evening when Frankie was asleep. Ryan was getting rid of everything in the refrigerator (that is why we need to go shopping) and cleaned it. From the glass, the drawers, everything. It is so white and squeaky clean now. I hate cleaning refrigerators. When I was in the Philippines we take turns cleaning it and I would bribe my sister to do it for me. That is how bad I was just to get away of not doing it. And what the other baby was doing? He was vacuuming the living room. He starts crying when I or Ryan will take it from him, it is nothing bad anyways so we just let him be. At least when he grows up he knows how to do it. Now our house is as clean as a whistle. Except the clothes that I need to iron.

Football Picks Forum

I grew up watching my father play football with his friends. In the beginning I really didn’t understand how it was played but he explained to me that it is as simple as kicking the ball with your foot in a shot to score a goal. Now that my Dad is coming over, retired and can’t play football anymore I am sure that he will like the NFL here in the US. So to those who are a fan of baseball, college football and NFL get your football picks at addictsports.com. You can even join the fun by joining the addictsports.com forum and share your ideas/picks about the game that you love.

Snow Cone Night

Last Saturday Ryan decided to make all of us snow cones after dinner. This was the first time the Frankie will have some. So his Dada got a cup with a straw that Lola Noelle gave him. He didn't put that much syrup on his but Frankie love sipping the ice. It was so funny how he turned red every time he makes a sip. I even tried to sip in his cup and it was all ice. I wanted to take pictures but he was walking with it most of the time that it was hard to get some snaps. We should do this often as it gets warmer outside.
