noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 27 May 2012 10:46:00 +0000

At last, in less than 25 days my Firmoo Glasses arrived from China. It's totally for FREE! Well, if someone asked me if do I owned it all? Nope! Actually, each one of them has it's own owner. I will give it to my family of course.

Well, I have to thank Firmo~ the Global Online Optical Store. Their glasses are so cool and so light-weighted. I really love to wear it during sunny days and I super love my prescription glass as well. Thanks once again Firmoo.

Mother's Day Special

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Fri, 25 May 2012 10:22:00 +0000

I know this is a late post of the Mother's Day Special. Anyway, as a mom we always feel so flattered every time we will be given importance by the people surrounding us. For me, it would be so nice if we will celebrate it everyday not just yearly because the role of being a mom is not that easy.

Anyway, I still have to thank God for making me as a mom to my kids and that I can't afford to exchange this kind of role to any others. By the way, how did you celebrate it? Did any of you received Gift Baskets for Women? Hope so...

IF you wanna ask me how? Well, we were celebrating that moment with my mom, and to all the moms in our family at the beach during our summer vacation and it was really super fun!

Summer Fun: White Water Rafting Adventure

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Fri, 11 May 2012 09:31:00 +0000

Our summer fun does not only ends in here, after we had our Bohol escapade we experienced another extreme adventure yesterday with our cousins. The sun was so hot and I was kinda' worried because we might end as if we applied a spray tan in our whole body. Anyway, what matters most in this kind of moment is that we are enjoying each seconds with each other. We really had fun and that we are planning to go to the next level which is the Advance trail. #exciting!

Opps! Another traveling adventure for tomorrow to complete our summer special!

Looking for the Right Frame of Glasses

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Tue, 08 May 2012 09:04:00 +0000

Since I have a round-shaped face, I'll go for a rectangular shape frames....

I have learned that you can get a good angle on your round face when you select an angular frames so as to help sharpen and adds definition to your face. Always remember this rules in general, a balance face looks best that is why you have to be careful in choosing the right frames for you.

Know the Tips for Choosing the Right Frame Glasses

Angular frames with rectangular or geometric shapes create balance and add definition to a round face
Rectangular styles make a round face look slimmer
Frames that are more horizontal than they are vertical make round faces appear longer and thinner
Glasses with high or mid-height temples help lengthen a round face
Up swept frames that draw attention to top of face
Glasses with temples that connect at the top of the frame add length

So this is how it looks like:

Dreaming for a Disneyland Vacay

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sat, 05 May 2012 08:39:00 +0000

I don't care if people may say that I'm just too ambitious if I'll wish for this kind of vacation in life. Anyway, dreaming of something like this is totally free! But who knows in God's own time He will allow us to travel such with my whole family and that would be great! A blessing indeed that is yet to come....

Speaking of a Disney Land, my kids would really love to meet their favorite characters they saw on TVs, movies for real. Well, this would also includes looking for great deals on hotels orlandovacation as early as now so as to know the budget ahead of time. :)

Weeee....this would be a time to bond with my loved-ones in a soon to be a dream come true vacay! #dreaming mode

Personalized Stuffs

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 03:46:00 +0000

Haven't you noticed nowadays that most of the people around us are using personalized stuffs? I mean, from the apparels down to the tiny stuffs you can customized things the way you wanted it to. Just recently, I bought a couple shirt for the two of us and I am planning also to buy "terno" clothes for my kids. Well, still browsing over the net for the designs. :)

By the way, I am also looking for a shop for coffee mugs that can be personalized because I am planning to give a pair of mugs to a couple who loves to drink coffee every now and then.For sure they'll gonna love our presents for their wedding anniversary. Hope to find a great deal on this.

My Family in Bohol

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 04:20:00 +0000

This was taken at my grandfather's house in Dauis, Bohol last April 5, 2012. We were so ready then to tour around the paradise for our whole day's itinerary. The kids really had a blast during this day!

I just wanna thank God for allowing us to experience in a moment like this. :)

Wish I’m like them…

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 04:06:00 +0000

I always tell them in my post that I am a frustrated instrumentalist. I really wanted to be a guitarist, a pianist, violinist and a drummer when I was still a kid. Unfortunately, I only learned a few of them but only the very basic. Actually, until now I am still hoping that someday somehow I would be like them performing in front of the congregation of our own church.

Anyway, the music team in our church was so happy because they just got their new Avalon preamplifier – a replacement of the broken one damaged by the Typhoon Washi.

Missing Pregnancy Moments...

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 03:46:00 +0000

Yes! I do miss my pregnancy moments as of this time, knowing that I am not capable of bearing a child anymore because I already underwent for a tubal ligation. I just reminisced those moments wherein I have to set an appointments for my ObGyne every month for my prenatal, lying on its exam table for IEs, ultrasounds, talking to my doc and his secretary and many more.

Do I sound like a weird here? Hope I'm not...Oh, I just miss being a pregnant. :)

Practicality

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 03:28:00 +0000

Last night, as I was sitting in my parent’s sofa I noticed that it was already torn out. I told my mom and suggested to bring their sala set for a whole make-over upholstery! She said that she will be going to replace it like what they had before, a simple set with chair pads on it. As of the moment, they will just utilize it until it is still usable. Well, that’s what we call practicality!

Is Knee Walker and Roll About Scooter the Same?

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 03:04:00 +0000

Many times people get knee walkers confused with roll about scooter, as far as I know it is simply a type of knee walker brand. Although, a knee walker goes by several different names such as: knee scooter, knee cruiser and roll about, but the common denomination in here is they are all crutch replacement device that is characterized by a sturdy frame on durable wheels with a padded rest for the knee on the injured leg.

Now, if you happen to encounter a foot or ankle injury worry o more because you can rent such device online and that can leave you immobile during the healing process. In the end, you can complete your daily tasks without placing any undue stress on your injured ankle/foot.

Out For a Summer Vacay

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 04:03:00 +0000

Yay! Hours from now we will be leaving the City of Golden Friendship and we will be exploring the beautiful island of Bohol for five (5) days. Yeah it would be a summer vacay for my whole family!

I will be out in the blogosphere for sometime and we'll be enjoying the beautiful beaches, resorts, chocolate hills, tarsiers and many more that Bohol could offer. Woottt...woootttt

Bye for now, signing off......

Church Projects

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 02:06:00 +0000

I remember last year when we committed/pledged certain amount of money per family in order to realize our church projects. There were quite a few among the lists that were already acquired as early as 2nd and 3rd quarter of last year. Unfortunately, a catastrophic happened in our city and our church was affected by the devastation. All of our church instruments were all damaged by the flood and the chairs were full of mud and etc.

We could not imagine on how God replaced those instruments that were damaged by the typhoon. We are giving back all the glory, praises and thanksgiving to Him for the wonderful keyboard, JBL guitar speakers, guitars and the drum sets that are still usable and many more. Now, we are pursuing the plan of fencing the yard of our church area and we know for sure that we will be able to realize it this year~ God-willing!

My BF!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:06:00 +0000

You mean boy friend? Not exactly, but my best friend!

Everybody has a best friend may it be an animal, human or a thing, all of us get to have at least one best friend in the world. Well, Bloggie and I are best of friends. He’s been with me for almost 4 years. Technically, Bloggie is a notebook and I feel like I can’t live without him~ you know what I mean (as a blogger)?.

Well,I thought of buying a brand new one as a birthday gift for myself but for now I guess I can’t just put him away after all the service he has given me. I just love my used notebook, I’d still keep him for now. :)

Sad News...

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:58:00 +0000

It’s sad to hear that a distant relative has passed away and it’s never easy to say goodbye permanently. Memories will never be forgotten and will always be cherished. I had to face the truth and accept it, for me and my other relatives to move on. I know funeral arrangements like this is truly an emotional scene, no matter how you pinch yourself hoping that everything is unreal still, doesn’t comforts you. As they say....Life is really uncertain. :(

He's a Music Lover

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 00:17:00 +0000

I love music a lot! But every time I'll remember my cousin, I could say that he's much into music than me because he spend almost half of his free time listening to his iPod. I couldn’t even feel the essence of his free-time without music. He takes time to download his fave songs on the internet for free. I’m really thankful that we could get music for free on the net. At some point I guess even if it’s not for free as long as it’s worth the pay it’s still fine with me.

But hey, what about those pay per install CPA network & software bundling network thing? Well, it's another story to tell. :)

Mommy Moments: Family Picture 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 03:52:00 +0000

It's been quite sometime that I haven't participated in this fave meme. Actually,I was some kinda' motivated because the owner of this meme sis Chris left a comment on my post that she noticed that she haven't seen me for a while. So true! If, I'll remember my last entry was years ago I think..:) Now, I made promise to myself that every Friday I will not miss this moments with my kids!

Anyway, I am sharing to you our family picture for this year since we have another additional blessings received~ no other than our baby Joshua! He is already 10 months old and our eldest daughter is already 5 years of age.

I really thank God for having a wonderful family

...but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord!

Happy Mommy Moments everyone and God Bless!

YES to Solar Power!

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:45:00 +0000

I am proud to say that our city is starting to use solar power nowadays! Back to solar energy, solar cells use sunlight to produce electricity, right? A visible example of which are the calculators with solar cells, this kind of device doesn’t need batteries anymore and in some cases they don’t even have an off button. Amazing! As long as there is enough light, they will work forever.

For sure you may also have seen larger solar energy panels, perhaps on emergency road signs, call boxes, buoys and even in parking lots to power the lights. These are not as common as with the calculators because they are more of larger panels and are not hard to spot if you know exactly where to look. It is usually package or connected assembly of photovoltaic cells which generates and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications.

Aside from those mentioned above, solar power can be used also for solar water heater like in pools or outside tubs. I remember when I saw my cousin’s kids enjoying their pool despite the coldness of the weather. Eventually, they are using the solar heater as well. Good that they are also into solar power.

For sure all of you are also hoping for a "solar revolution” with the idea that one day we'll all use free electricity from the sun. If we could just collect all of that energy out from the sun, we could easily power our homes and offices for free.

Pink Fridays: The Pink Bike for my Son

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 04:32:00 +0000

Am I kidding in giving him such color? Actually, that pink bike was a "hand-me-down" from his Ate Danielle when she was 10 months old. What a coincidence since today marks my son's 10th month also! You can see on his face on how happy he is every time he rides on his PINK bike. :)

Be a good boy always baby Josh!

Happy Pink Fridays everyone...

Why We Need Landscaping?

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 03:27:00 +0000

If you have the time, money and willing to take the effort to enhance the look of your home then no one could ever stop you. Landscaping doesn’t only mean that you have to plant here and there because it will also take a certain amount of planning. Now that we are in the process of realizing our plans to have a new called “home”, planning is an essential thing to do. Since our space is just so limited, I think we will also need an architect that can help us design a good garden that would be just enough for my family to be able to have a wonderful time enjoying our outdoors.

As I was browsing over the net I saw different stone walk way designs, yeah I know that I need to some research on the latest trends in a landscaped garden. Actually, I wanted to get inspired with those styles that would really make my cute area a different looking garden. It has to be something like this..

The plants in the garden should complement the total setting itself and that the colors should really make an artistic appeal to everyone. I guess, I’m just too excited for this to happen because I have said a lot.

Anyway, to answer the question? We need landscaping simply because it is an integral part of our culture that plays an essential role in the quality of our environment, affecting our economic well-being and our physical and psychological health. Above all, landscaping is the most cost effective tools for improving and sustaining the quality of life, whether in the city, suburbs or the country.

Get the Look Even if You're Preggy

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 15:28:00 +0000

I remember those moments that I had for my two wonderful pregnancies. Every time I see pregnant women nowadays, I may sometime missed those days that I went through. Pretty sure, I'll not be able to experience such because I already had my tubal ligation 9 months ago. :)

To some, being a pregnant is an excuse of not taking care of one's self/look during this stage because of some unexplainable reasons that women may experience. In my case, it's the other way around~ it's just all in the mind! In my case, I really love to look and feel good even if I already had those bulging bumps with me. I just love to wear those cheap maternity dresses, it doesn't matter with me if it's expensive or not but as long as if it will feel me more comfy, pretty and sexy then I'll go for it!

So, to all the pregnant women out there~ Go and Get the Look!

Happy Birthday to the Man I LOVE !

noreply@blogger.com (Phebie) — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 08:40:00 +0000

What's the best gift I could give you on your Birthday today? A perfect kiss? A loving hug? A few buckets of love? A carton of affection? Even all of this put together as your Birthday gift wouldn't be enough, even the wrapping paper in the world wouldn't be enough if I wanted to wrap my love for you as a special gift on your Birthday because you are so dear to me. :)

You've given me everything I've always asked for - lots of love, the best set of kids and the best life. Today it's my turn to ask you...Tell me something that I can give you today because it's your Happy Birthday! (ayaw lang ng mahal ha?) :)
