Sudden Loss

2009-06-28T11:40:00.000-07:00

Every one was so shock when they hear the news last Thursday that Michael Jackson had died of cardiac arrest. And on that same day another most loved celebrity passed away, Miss Farrah Fawcett.. I still can't believe that Michael Jackson passed away at the age of 50. It was sudden and shocking... I guess all we can say is may his soul rest in peace...

Spring Must-Have

2009-05-02T11:37:00.000-07:00

Spring season is here where everything is beautiful. Flowers bloom, green leaves on trees, green grass everything just coming alive so to speak. As nature doing it's job restoring its natural beauty, we often forget a little bit of detail of spring season brings to us. The down part of it. Bugs! I have a 2-yr old who loves going outside and mosquitoes loves him,too. So, before spring season comes my medicine cabinet is already ready for it. Here's some stuff I kept stock in my M-cabinet:
1. Bug repellent. My son and I is highly susceptible on bugs may it be gnats, fly, and mosquitoes,they just love us.
2. Sun block. You don't wanna get sun burn, it's awfully painful. Recommended Spf is 50 or higher. Even though, its not that hot outside UV rays could still be high.
3. Aloe Vera Gel. Well, sometimes if we really get in a rush we forget to put sun block lotion on. Just be safe, keep aloe vera gel its not only good for sun burn but to other kinds of burns,too.
4. Anti-Itch Cream. I always have this with me. It relieves annoying itch and it helps you from not scratching it .
5. Anti-biotic Cream. I just have to have this. It's handy.
6. First Aid Kit. This you don't wanna forget. It comes with everything including the ones above but in smaller packages.
Before you go outside this week-end do your yard work or what ever don't forget to put sun block lotion and bug repellent on. Better safe than sorry.
Have a nice week-end!

Shopping Smartly

2009-04-30T14:31:00.000-07:00

Cutting back your grocery bill is tricky and time consuming but the end result is rewarding. Because of the economic downturn consumers are trying to find ways to cut back. One of the candidate is your grocery bill. Here some few tricks/tips that I do whenever I go grocery shopping.
1. Make a list. Making a list saves you time and energy in the store. You don't wander in the store thinking what else you need and what you've missed.
2. Create a budget. Before you leave figure out how much you are going to spend and stick with it. Itemized the things that you need and you don't need.
3. Use coupons. Clippings of coupons in Sunday paper is the great way to save. Another way to get coupons is through web sites. There is a lot of site out there that give coupons of your favorite product. You just have the patience to look for it, though.
4. Comp it. Some stores allow comping from their competitors, like Wal-mart. You can comp prices from other stores like sale and clearance. I like going Wal-Mart because it's a one-stop shopping store for me.
5. Buy off-brands. Buying off-brands is not gonna hurt you. They're just the same value of the name-brand items but cheaper.
6. Get in, get out. I always make it sure that I avoid temptations. I go in, grab what I need check out and leave. I go browse the store later.
There probably a lot of ways to save money out there, and if you have something to add please don't hesitate to leave a comment. I'll appreciate it.

"mommy, I got an Ouchy"

2009-04-30T09:16:00.000-07:00

My son and I were doing our everyday walk. He was pushing his lawn mower toy when he slipped in the driveway. Twisted ankle landed on his knee and face flat on the ground. I thought, okay, he always fall but this it really hurt him. He was crying and doesn't wanna stand on his feet. So, we do first aid, put ice on the ankle maybe it will ease the pain. But, we're wrong he still doesn't want to stand. We forced him to stand and walk and just we found out he was limping and crying out of pain. We really get concern about it because he never really cry that hard. He usually fall and go on but this it's different. So we rushed him in the ER, took an x-ray from his thigh to feet and no bone was broken and found out he has a deep bruise, whew, what a relief! It's hard sometimes when your baby gets hurt and he can't tell you exactly whats wrong( he can't talk yet). You get panicky and nervous. I know I was. And it's been almost two weeks he still limping and it so painful to watch him walk. I wish I could just take the pain from him. Hoping he'll feel better soon.

Bad Day?

2009-04-22T11:32:00.000-07:00

Having a bad day? Sometimes small things can turn your day upside down. It's just how you handle it. Here's some things that I do everytime I have bad day..
1. Smile. Nothing can brighten up your day but a little smile in your face. As they say, give your smile to others and they'll bring smile to you.
2. Laugh. Laughter is always the best medicine.
3. Be positive. Never let anybody take you down. Block yourself from negative feelings. Somebody try just smile on it and walk away.
4. Read a book. Reading is fun. Put a little imagination to it and your good to go for some good diversion.
5. Take a nature walk. Smell the flowers. Listen to the trees. Watch the bird. After all, the best things in life are free.
6. Cuddle up. Feel the warmth of your husband. Feel the love that he brings.
7. Pet your pet. Petting can lighten up your mood.
8. Drink water. Water is good for you as well as energize you. Refreshing.
9. Ask your partner for some massage.
10.Take a bubble bath. Nothing is more relaxing taking a dip in a bubble bath after a good massage. With a glass of your favorite wine, candles and music. Soothing, relaxing, invigorating and definetly will turn your day into a good one.
Have a nice day!

just a thought

2009-04-22T10:31:00.000-07:00

"Don't hold on to things that can hurt you, just throw it away."

I really like this piece of advice that I got from the television show last night. It was the daughter that tell this advice to her mom,she thought her mom was working with the shady guy. It was pretty cool because you know sometimes when somebody hurts us we kind of hold on to it. We hold to it in a long time that the pain just keep coming back and it keeps hurting you. I think it would be best if we just throw it away, let go of it, and pretty much move on. I've been hurt so many times before and even now, I bottled it up inside, I hold on to it, I keep it to myself but I realize that the more I do it,the more pain I felt. I learned to let go, I learned to forgive and I learned to move on and not dwell on it. Pain is a good feeling, it means your alive, it means your mature by recognizing that it exists. So,guys,if you have people that hurt you,if you have things inside of you that brings pain to you. Let go of it, throw it away, forgive the people that hurt you, buried it and move on. Life is too short to dwell on the things that can hurt you.

Homesick

2009-04-21T06:19:00.000-07:00

You know I've been here in the US for almost five years now but only been lately did I feel kinda homesick. I've been missing things that I enjoyed when I was back home. Things that I've never enjoy here in US. I miss hanging out with all my friends, doing stupid things with them, and gossiping with them. Oh! How I miss the old days?
But,most especially I miss my family. My mom, I miss our conversation, her strict ways, and herself. I miss my momma so much! I miss my sisters and my brother. I didn't even get the chance to watch my brother grow up. I miss my sisters, our laughs,our problems, and our silly things that we have done. And I miss my dad. It hurts me so much to hear that he is suffering with diabetes. I miss the chance to be with him. I terribly miss my home!(sob)

Unfortunate Turns Of Events

2009-04-19T14:58:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you wonder,why such bad things happen? And sometimes one thing lead to another..That's what happen to me all week, it's like things never get any better at all. First, a storm knock the tree down in the backyard right into my car's hood,then my son got a case of ear infection, and then my car's tire needed to be replace. To make things worst I got sick.. See what I'm saying...
But,you know,this is probably just minor compare to other people, maybe I should stop whining,huh? Well,anyways,hopefully I have a good week ahead and you too.

Broken Promise

2009-04-14T12:55:00.000-07:00

Promises-they are easy to make but hard to keep. But why make one if you can't keep it? I will be a hypocrite if I will tell you that I kept all my promises because the truth is I have made promises in the past that I couldn't keep. It wasn't because I intentionally not to keep it but because the situation what makes it hard to keep. Call it as an excuse or an alibi, but sometimes things happen out of your control.
But, I may not be able to keep some of my promise but deep within me is a beg of forgiveness and regretfully tell you I am so sorry. I didn't mean to let you anticipate something that I couldn't give. But, I know someday and somehow I will remember to make it up to you, I just hope it's not too late.( promises again)

Food

2009-04-01T12:16:00.000-07:00

Everyone of us like certain foods and each one of us has a favorite food. Well, I just thought I'm gonna make a list of food that I like. And it turns out I can live in every country I will visit because it looks like I have a favorite food in every country,well, not quite..here's some:
Filipino:
everything, (I'm a filipina indeed)
Chinese:
everything on the menu
Mexican:
tacos, fajitas, chips-and-salsa, pico de gallo
American:
hamburger
Italian:
lasagna, spaghetti

To sum it up, I don't really care what country recipe it is as long as its good. And to top of that my most favorite food is seafoods. I really love 'em..... Even T-bone steak can't compete with that. ( well, for me anyways,hehehe)

Emptiness

2009-03-27T20:45:00.000-07:00

I'm sitting here staring at the monitor.
Nothing in mind and nothing to write.
Try to come up some words, but
End up empty.

I guess I'm just bored.
I'm chatting with my best friend
Waiting her reply
Waiting,
Waiting,
And waiting.

And,finally, there it is.
I miss her so,
I miss my old friends
Does this ever make sense?
I know I'm pathetic.
But, I can live with that.

So what

2009-03-14T13:15:00.000-07:00

Woke up today staring at the ceiling thoughts wandering to the memory lane. The lane where I don't want ever to set my foot on-my past. A past where I want to buried and forget it forever but I know it would be so impossible to do it. I moved on and living in the present with a happy and content life. Reminiscing the past is my reminder that I can go through with my life with a head up and proud to myself that I am able to withstand the hardest problem that Him have ever throw at me.

I do not resent Him for giving me that challenge and it was a challenge indeed. In fact, I was thankful for Him with that. That challenge changed me of who I was and who I am now. It made me stronger, taught me not take crap from anybody, be able to speak out my mind, and most of all, it taught me to accept and love myself of who I am.

Some people want to change me,they want to control me and they treat me like I am the dumbest person in the world.And for a long time I believe this people and I trusted this people and I woke up one day realizing that this isn't me...I am not dumb.

This is who I am and I am who I am. I love of who I am. I don't need anybody to validate me and define me. I'm gonna make my own mistakes and I am gonna live my life the way I want it and enjoy every bit of it. Life is too short to care to what people think of you. I am not hurting anybody and if they don't like me because I want to be myself. I don't know what to tell you.

Either hate me or like me, I could care less.

needing stuff for party

2009-03-14T11:00:00.000-07:00

My son's birthday is coming up. My husband and I are planning to give him a party in the backyard. And we think his old enough for some fun party stuff like bouncy houses and slide so we are gonna rent one. But, the problem is our schedule is just so hectic that going all through rental party store is just impossible. I don't know if we ever gonna pull this through until his friends at work told us about this online classifieds. "Hmmm", we said and so we check it out. It was great! We were able to check all the store that do rentals locally. Browsing was easy because it was categorized. You could check it anytime because it doesn't cost you anything. You could check rentals around your region and be able to see what you want because everything is already in there from pictures to description. And potential customer can contact the renter through e-mail and arrange rentals. See how easy that was!
