10 Ways to Ruin a First Date


by: Kathryn Lord

1. Don't look like your picture. Post an old picture from when you were thinner or had more hair.
Or you could post a photo of someone else: your daughter (folks always say you could be twins, right?), a model you plucked from an online site (hey, didn't you say you always wanted to be a model?), or your "sort of" twin brother (non-identical).
2. Don't make any special effort to present yourself well. Dress for a first meeting the way you would for a Saturday night at home, rationalizing that you want to appear "real" and be liked for the way that you are. Maybe it is a kindness to show, right up front, what your date's Saturday nights would be like if they were to marry you!
3. Be late. Nothing says you couldn't care less than to be late Nothing says you couldn't care less than to be late. While arriving early might give you the advantage of being able to see your date before he/she sees you, being late implies you are too important to be polite.
4. Forget your wallet. Male or female, the "I forgot my wallet" schtick is the fastest route to being labeled cheap.
If you are a guy and this is a coffee date, springing for both cups is a bargain-rate way to look good. And ladies, men notice if you offer to pay, even if they insist on opening their wallet for your latte.
5. Use your cell phone. Go ahead, plunk your cell phone down on the table between the two of you, leave it on and answer every call, taking as long as you want while ignoring your date.
Cell phones are the best excuse for blanket rudeness that has been invented. They have no place on a date, except as a safety mechanism.
6. Brag. My grandma used to say "Don't brag," and when you are on a date, she was -- and is -- so right.
However, if you can't resist, talk about the price you paid for your car, flash your Rolex, and prop your implants on the table. Tell how important you are at work and how many men or women are dropping at your feet.
See how your date reacts...
See how your date reacts... if they are still at the table.
7. Complain. Whine. Grouse. Say how no one listens to you and you are looking for someone who will.
Go on and on about your health problems or, better yet, your dietary quirks. Then notice that your date is in such a rotten mood, whine about that, and chalk this date up to yet another one of those horrid experiences.
8. Be rude. To your date, and to everyone around you. Talk down to the waitperson and don't leave a tip. Complain to the management about the poor service. Ask your date what the last STD they had was or whether they are still fertile.
If you must, really pull out the stops and get all your orifices going: burp, pass gas, scratch scabs, pick your nose or blow it on your hand.
9. Try to get sexy. Tell your date that she is turning you on and you want to see her naked. Move in too close too fast, hugging, touching or kissing, despite what your date is signaling.
Grab his butt when you meet. Wear clothes that are too short, too tight and in general too slutty. Talk sexy and do it loud.
10. Tell dirty, racist or just plain poor-taste stories. You know that you are funny, especially after you have a couple of drinks. If it is a coffee date, then stop off for a couple of quick ones before you get there.
You know that men (or women) like a good sexy joke, so fire away. And most people think that racist or bathroom stories are hilarious, so your date should too. After all, you want a partner who can take a joke, don't you?

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the following: PAPA DONAT (father-in-law) my brother GULLIVER and to my cousin MARIE.. JUNE 30, 2007 (all the same day)

a faucet for your thought?


I just love faucets very much! I admire gorgeous and unique faucet fixtures, like what we have at home our bathroom and kitchen has faucets that only has a single handle and you can just turn it to the left and right for hot and cold water. I told hubby before that when we'll buy our new home someday I would love to have one that's built with elegant and unique faucet designs. I browsed around faucet direct and by viewing their gallery there are a lot of style options to choose from, It's really quite wonderful. It also gave me a lot of inspiration. So if you want to get rid that obsolete style faucet you have at home and need a modern lift, try faucet direct and you can browse around their wide array selections of bathroom faucets from different collections of faucet brands.

makes me wonder video

I love this song!

me + pen=love


Eversince I started school when I was in the first grade I fell in love with pens very much. Whenever I had to study for a test I had to at least have a nice pen with me. I was addicted so much in buying all kinds of pens, especially when I see some really cute ones I'd buy it for sure. What's best in looking for the best pen is it's supposed to write real good. so, are you a pen fanatic? try buying Pens at Pensrus, I am so happy when I saw this website coz now I can finally search for some best quality marked pens. Whether you are in school or at work you can have the best pen fit just for you.

blog advertising


Are you interested in blog advertising? Well, of course you do! nowadays it seems like the whole web is into paid advertising using blogs. yes, blogs. at first I wasn't interested at all with this whole paid blogging thing. But somehow one day I just found myself signing up for it when I saw this site at a fellow friends' blog, so I thought why not it wouldn't hurt to try anyway. and I got hooked eversince. Payu2blog is so simple, all you got to have is a nice decent blog with your writing skills and imagination to go along with it. It's a piece of cake, I tell ya. they send you interesting assignments and if you work hard for it you'll get paid for it. so if you're not a member yet, why wait? join now!

heart broken =/


Why is it When you like someone that certain person likes someone else? nope, it's not me, silly... It's my friend at work, she was so excited last night she told me she has a crush on someone that works in the warehouse and she can't hold on to it any longer, she wanted to voice out what she really felt. me and my other filipina workmate was like talking to her. convincing her not to spill out the beans just yet. We told her she has a point but since we love her we don't want her to get hurt. She told us what's the point of keeping it in sooner or later he'll find out eventually. so this afternoon she told me that she already confessed what she felt to M. and I asked, "is it good or bad?" I felt so bad for her coz her eyes were in tears although she was holdin' it back, I can sense it. She told me that M didn't say a lot about it but instead told her about this one girl at work that he really liked. bummer. She wanted to leave for Germany for a 3 week vacation to see her sister who's stationed there. she was really sad today. she wanted to get away with everything, poor thing. I know how she feels... anyways, there's so many fishies in the sea.

love at first sniff


I was reading my Allure magazine and it has an article pertaining to women who gets hooked on a man's scent. It was really funny coz I can so relate to it. back when I was in high school I used to love the fresh cologne scent of boys, of course when you get to know them suddenly it just vanishes, totally turned off! click on the pic to read it.



It's really funny, coz when I first met hubbykins he smelled really nice on our first date, I kinda fell for him because of that =P but I guess I kinda matured enough to realize once your bonded together no matter how you guys smell you will still love each other no matter what. but hubby still smells good no matter what! hehee. this article just caught my attention, thought I'd share it with you guys. to all friends and visitors thank you always for the never ending visits t my lil haven, I'll return comments as soon as possible, ok? oh yeah HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our dear sister Valerie hope ou have a nice blessed one, sis... and last but not the least I tagged some people on my this and that blog so pls check it out!

summer camps


Summer Camps can be a lot of fun Especially for young kids who love to have fun in the summer. I've never experienced going to any kind of camp all my life but according to relatives and friends camps can be a lot of fun, If we move to the mainland someday I want my son to be engaged in activities at Summer Camps when he gets a little older. You don't want kids just being at home during the summer and do nothing but play, we want our kids to enjoy and have the benefit of learning. at Score Learning centers they accept children from ages 4 to 14, so if you have a child and need help on their study skills contact Score now so they can help you and your child get ready for their transition for the next school year.

yay me!


[EDIT] I finally put up my new layout. I miss charmmy kitty so much, you know I love her that's why I decided to make a new layout, I'll probably stick with this one for awhile. [EDIT]

last June 16 hubby bought me a new laptop! I so looooove my hubbykins so much. he's just so wonderful, he does everything to make me happy. You see, we really don't have the habit of giving expensive gifts to each other coz first of all material things are just not that important to us. family comes first and that's what really counts. and besides it's both our money anyway. hubbykins doesn't really spoil me at all. When he wants to buy me something he'll really buy it for me, sooooo I guess my wish list is now complete! I don't think I can wish for anything big anymore coz I mostly have everything I need already. =)




meet my new baby, Sony Vaio VGN-N32OE


We had a great deal on this one, It was on sale at Compusa we bought it at $899.99 and it has a $200 rebate, isn't that nice? aww, I love my hubbykins so much, he's so sweet... he's my bestfriend. =) anyways, I am not used to using a laptop, It's been awhile since I've used one =/ my eyes hurt..ugh. but of course its a matter of getting used to. even while browsing my friends' blogs as well as mine, yikes the resolution and colors are kinda like I don't know... different? aww, I'm gonna miss using my desktop, that's hubby's gift for me last 2004 now I'm about to use this one all the time. I need to transfer all my files to this one now, to all my friends thank you for the greetings on my mom's birthday it's all appreciated, you guys are so great! I promise I'll be returning all your comments tomorrow, it's already 1 am I am off tomorrow, I'll be online on my yahoo messenger, so catch me there! love you guys!

I'm a survivor!


Well, It's so easy to say than being done. If I was stranded in any unknown city without any resources or money, I'll try my best to survive, I'll probably find any job that I could do no matter how hard it is I'll go for it. dirty jobs are unlikely the best jobs out there, so in order to eat I'll have to take the chance of applying for any hard labor, dirty job that is open! In reality I don't like work that requires being dirty, but If I think about it how will I survive? I don't think I can stay much longer without food. Now for shelter, I'll probably sleep in a park nearby or a bench in a nearby waiting shed on my first few days coz seriously I don't think I can find a place to sleep in such a short notice. I'll look at newspapers classifieds being left on the ground and find some work that I can do, then I can use it as my own blanket at night. It doesn't matter if I have to work 2 jobs I will take it no matter what. Everything will be complicated at first but with patience and courage I can sure make it with determination. like what they say, If there's a will, there's a way. I know someday if ever I get stranded somewhere without anything at all I am sure I can make it.. I can call myself a survivor.

me and my mom are excited to watch the new original series that is going to be aired in June 28, since we love movies like these very much. I think USA Network's Burn Notice will be a huge success because by just looking at the action previews and the plot of the story is really interesting. So watch out for the premier!

baby news!


no, no of course it's not me =P but I just wanna Congratulate the proud parents Michelle and Al for a bouncing baby boy! Welcome baby Kaelon! It's about time and you really deserve all the happiness, Mitch. get plenty of rest and sleep while baby is asleep, that's the only time you can gain back your strength again. don't forget to take your iron tablets, too. I wish you well and again congratulations on having an addition to your family, babies are God's lil angels and blessings to one's life, so take good care of him coz now you are ready to face the joys of motherhood. God bless!
NOTE: Wait for my next post later on this afternoon I am soooooo happyyyyyy! ano kaya yun? hmmmm...

what a score!


When I was in High school the most hated subject for me was Math. I don't know bout you guys, but my classmates used to answer me all the time, "Math is sooo easy!" easy for the math wizards to say, since I am more of an art person I always hated Math so much, Elementary Math was a piece of cake but came high school I dreaded the subject so much I always wished we didn't have Math subjects anymore and focus more on memorization. I got a Math tutor on my 4th year class and attended remedial classes because I didn't want to fail that subject. It did help me a bit through my last year of high school. embarrassing as it sounds but I'm not really a Math genius. I am hoping my son would be as good as his grandfather (he's a math athlete) someday. So if your child needs help with his Math subject there are a lot of Math Tutors at the Score learning center. Let them help your child receive the best Math attention they need. It's not easy for a child to be a complete genius, but you can help them by enrolling them in a nearest Score center near you. The Math program is designed to discover the child's inner skills regarding problem solving, and thanks to the guidance and support of their trained Academic Directors they make sure the child is learning and at the same time enjoying what he/she learns, making them more confident in their inner abilities. So Who says Math can't be fun?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

a colorful world!


Eversince I was a little kid I always enjoyed coloring books. I still remember my medals, ribbons and certificates back when I was in grade school I was always a finalist among coloring contests and I simply won a place in every one of them. I simply miss those memories and somehow lately these past few weeks my son has been enjoying coloring pages so I am so glad I discovered the Free Coloring Pages site, I'm so positive my son will love it since he loves using the computer, he has well control over the mouse so I guess this site is just right for any kid. Drawings must be in black marker in white paper, draw to your heart's content and you can upload all your artworks at this site and they'll make it interacive for others to color, too. It's amazing coz there's no need for any messy crayons and paint, so just by using a palette any kid can just click on any color and fill the parts they want to be filled. see picture below:


It's so easy any child can do it. In order for you to save the pictures you have to register for a free account to access your saved colored images. It's great for young children and you can also help them understand colors by using the color palette. It will help young minds understand colors better. So Let them enjoy the colorful world of coloring pages!

this is beautiful, try not to cry...


If you’re going to read this, get some tissues. She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?" The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it." Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?" The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university." Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could." Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said: "Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm, sure the food will be great. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that? Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me. (Let's see Satan stop this one.) Take 60-seconds and repost this, within the hour, you will have caused a multitude of believers to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and feel the Holy Spirit work in your life for doing what you know God loves "When you're down to nothing, God is up to something." Repost this titled: this is beautiful, try not to cry

(sigh) I just loved the first set who came- they were a Japanese couple and they were just so cute together. hmmmm.... ok, people thanks for visiting, have a nice blessed day to everyone!

Drug Rehab


Back home in the Philippines, that was like 5 years ago an old family friend had discussed her personal family issues to us. her and her family were really close to us until one day she cried and opened up about her son's drug addiction. It was quite going on for awhile and we were so shocked to hear about the news coz first of all her son was a very good friend of ours and we didn't think that he could do any of that. Unfortunately, the mom didn't know what to do. We tried our best to support her but she didn't do anything to help her son which was really sad. I have heard quite a few stories from a few friends I've heard about how some of their friends' sons and daughters who were addicted to drugs and not getting help at all. So if you or a friend is in need of help, at narconon they will help you get the help you'll need. drug addiction is serious and if we don't act now, who will? What's best about this Drug Rehabilitation Program is they don't use no medication at all. They only provide proper nutrition as well as supplementation to help the person in need, and not only that the People involved in this program are once addicts themselves and they will help you transform back from who you are. So whoever needs help conquering addiction drugs or alcohol, this program is right for you. let's all help each other for a better clean future.

Nathan and Gingy


I really want to avoid Mcdonalds =P why, you ask? It's because of those darn happy meal toys. so far Nathan is collecting the shrek toys they got there, everytime we go out and shop if he sees Mcdonalds he'll go run to the display. or if I'm driving and we pass by a Mcdonald chain he says 'pls.' all the time, giving me that soft look, puppy dog eyes kinda thing. hayy, it's so hard being a mom, yet it's so fun at the same time. up to now I still can't believe I'm a mom. w-ell, Nathan deserves it. he's been doing good in his reading and writing skills. so anyways, the pic on the left that's the latest toy he got and it's driving us crazy! you see he has this gumdrop button when you push it, it says "bye-bye!" and I don't know what else (lol) he keeps on pushing it, pushing it, pushing it like a broken record player.. ugh. especially at night, the noise just drives us up the wall. (sigh) kids... speaking of the Gingerbread man, I miss going to Universal studios! me and hubby are just talkin' about it last night. I truly miss our trip to california so much... hehee, I wanna go in fun rides like the roller coaster and all that, visit Mickey and the gang! Nathan was like "momma, momma! I wanna go to Disneyland, too!" I kept telling him he already had been to Disneyland (tokyo, that is) we're just saying "yes" repeatedly to him, and yes, he's happy and excited. =P

PPP, I love you!


I just want to let you guys know that I have signed up and had been approved by PayPerPost. I am so happy because my hardwork really paid off, so far after submitting my very first post a few days later I saw it was approved already! you couldn't imagine the happiness I felt at that time, it just made me a lil nervous coz this site is really something else, and I was kinda intimidated to join but thank goodness after reading a lot of my friends' blogs which of course I am very grateful to them coz they are the ones who had introduced me to PayPerPost. I met a few good friends who are into PayPerPost. I was actually challenged to try it myself, and lo and behold I finally did! I signed up around the end of May and got approved around the 5th of June. I think this site is a really cool way to blog about what you love and get paid to blog at the same time, all is fair. It's easy, all you have to do is just sign up and let the leaves fall into their rightful places. good luck!

blehh...


I feel sad. I don't know why. basta, nakakainis sobra! bakit ba nagkakaroon ng taong plastic?? naiinis ako sobra. I'm so pissed really, but I can't do anything. ang hirap ilabas yung nararamdaman ko ngayon. why does it have to take at least one person to ruin my day? why? I hate ranting. I'm usually a happy person, but sometimes I can't take it anymore. (sigh) basta I hate, hate plastic people. they're nice to you now but later they talk crap behind your back, what's up with that, huh? what an arrogant loser!

I went to cancel a transaction on register 20 today coz a guest was trying to pay for the groceries without a military ID, after cancelling it this girl from register 19 looked at me (let's call her K) she called me...

K: hey, Kit! are you closing tonight?
ME: uhm, yeah.
she made a disappointing face which really made me angry inside.
K: aww, so L isn't closing then? shucks... (L is a 50+ yrs old male)
ME: yeah, yeah I know you guys hate me! (smiling)
K: well, it's not that. we just like L better.(yeah, right)

helloooo, you just said that in my face?? she said she was only joking, but I can feel she was such a PHONEY. I was just so pissed at her, so whenever she called me and asked me something I just gave her a straight answer, no smiles or whatever. ok, she's only 18, she started working 2 months ago at our place. she has relatives working there, too. and because of her so-so attitude she thought she could get away with everything. If she only knew that she's under observation by our directors and managers, eversince the cigarette box incident, she tried to steal 2 marlboro boxes, and there were witnesses, but instead of letting her go they gave her a warning. my managers told us to keep a close watch on her coz she already had 2 cigarette box incidents, she's been losing a lot of money on her cash drawer which sums up to hundreds already, I think she's under investigation. seriously, everybody in our store calls her a "witch face" because of her very thin black eyebrows. she has such an attitude, why can't she be more like her cousin? I love her cousin very much, they are totally opposites!
she doesn't like me coz first of all when I work, I keep her close by and not close to the cigarettes display. whenever she want to leave her register I tell her not to do so, I am not like one of the leads. I don't let a person push my buttons ever. I don't like arguing with people, even if I do I always keep a good poise, no loud arguments or whatever. I play it cool no matter what. so far I've never been into fights in my life, I just vent it all out with some friends, that's all.
don't mind me, I just needed to vent. It's unhealthy keeping it back. maybe it's almost that time of the month again, argh.. I can just feel it. hmphh..

anyways, I'd really love to change my layout again. boredom hehee. I love charmmy kitty, anyone know a great wallpaper site out there that I can use as a layout? =)

I opened my inbox this morning around 8am, as I was munching on breakfast I saw an email from a girl named Iva. Hello from an unknown friend :) I read. then clicked on it. as I read her email I was just astonished by it, so touched you couldn't imagine.



Dear Kitty,

You don't know me but I've been reading your blog for about a year. I never commented (because I always felt too shy) but I decided to finally drop you a line. I always found your blog very inspiring. I found myself very often in complicated situations in life and in endless search for a deeper meaning etc. etc. and when it gets depressing I remember you and how you manage to remind your readers that the beauty of life is in its simplicity, in loving our families, in true friendships and in cute little things. I don't have a blog but maybe one day I open one. I actually wanted to ask you if it would be ok if I added you to my yahoo chat friends list?
I know, it probably sounds weird since you don't know me and all, but I think we have a few similarities and maybe we could chat sometimes. I am also 23 and my hubby-to-be is 10 years older than me, I'm not a mummy but I have much younger sister who I've been somewhat raising throughout the years. I'm in Europe but my fiance grew up in the Philippines so I know a bit about the country and plan to visit it one day. And yup, I love pixels and all things cute :). So if it's ok with you, I'll add you as a chat friend. Just let me know :)
Have a nice day!
xoxo,
Iva


see, you don't get letters like these everyday. It's been awhile since I've had people send me nice emails, and once in awhile It just warms the heart so much. it makes you smile, makes your day complete. coz you know THERE are people out there who read about your day to day life. so when you do have a blog and notice no one comments a lot on it don't ever worry about it coz we always have friends out there just being shy to interact with us, that's all. I really appreciate people who take the time to sit down and write a nice comment about a person. after reading her email I suddenly remembered Lin, she started out like Iva, she didn't had any blog at that time, she told me that she was a frequent visitor of mine, etc. and of course I was always delighted to read her emails since she was a very supportive friend, and up to now we're still such great buddies inspite of our busy life offline we still have time to chat sometimes (thank you, Lin!) I truly admire people who are like that. I am so thankful for each and every one of you (you all know who you are) thank you so much!

and to Iva: thank you so much for making my day. If you need someone to talk to just lemme know, I'm just an email away. ;)

hehee, it's so weird blogging daily, really. maybe I'm not really used to it? but I try my best to give juicy entries, anyways it's my blog, so if you haven't read my previous entries (you can always skim through it) you'll be missing a lot and you are not required to comment on each entry, don't worry =P I decided I wanna get http://kittys-haven since my blog is my little haven on the net.

sooo... link exchanges, anyone? pls. drop me a line and if you wanna add me on ym it's kit_cruz@yahoo.com you can also email me at kittyshome_04@yahoo.com for any questions or comments, or simply because you just wanna say something.
have a blessed day everyone!

Orlando's vacation homes


We are planning to take our next vacation to Orlando, Florida 2 to 3 years from now, and just the thought of it just excites me so much. So if you are planning your vacation to Florida along with your family try the Orlando vacation home from VillaDirect, for sure your family will love this! They have lots of selections, you can choose from 2 to 7 bedroom house rentals to town homes and condos. What's best about these vacation homes, they are all perfectly located with easy access to amusement parks which of course your family will enjoy and can save time as well. most of these homes have private pools, spa pools, spacious bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and lots more, not to mention it has plenty of extra amenities you have to enjoy. so think about it, renting a Vacation home in Orlando is typically less than half the price of a hotel room. Just think of the extra benefits you'll get from this, I am pretty sure your family will thank you.

beloved lo's

OMG =/


I just finished changing Nathan his diaper and not even a minute he already pooped in his newly changed diaper, I'm tellin' ya I can't wait for him to be potty trained. my auntie told me that her daughter (my cousin) Marie was only trained twice, but hello not all kids are the same, we can't really force them if they still don't want to. the other day I was off from work I potty trained Nathan, I lied that there wasn't any diaper left at the closet so he said ok but refused to put his undies on, cripes a half hour later he cried that he pooped in the carpet! me and my mom were like laughing like crazy, oh boy. we had to clean the carpet real good. I can't believe my Nathan is growing so fast, just awhile ago I noticed Nathan's reading skills, he can actually read 3 letter words much faster than some weeks ago. preshools can be a bit pricey but me and hubby are trying our best to teach Nathan as much as we can, after all it depends on the parents if they have the patience to teach their child, right? I hope all our hardwork will pay off someday. (checks clock) it's about 10:28 pm, I want to open my messenger right now. who wants to chat with me sa ym? I miss having chatmates, pls. add me kit_cruz@yahoo.com and those who wanna link exchange just drop me a line. thank youuuu!

mini shopping ooh-lala


I finally went to Old Navy a few days ago with my family, did a lil bit of shopping. gosh, there were a lot of sale goin' on and oh boy I couldn't just resist the price tags, they were all so cheap! I especially loved this piece, a gray knit tank dress, pretty comfortable to wear with your fave jeans, just for $15, not bad, eh? I am not really brand conscious, but you can always find me shopping at my fave stores like Ross, Charlotte Russe, Jeans warehouse, Papaya, Old navy and Gap. as long as I see pieces that are really comfortable and goes along with the rest of my wardrobe I always tend to buy it.

*sigh* sad to say hubby told me he didn't order any laptop for me just yet =/ yeahhh, bummer. but yesterday he kept on hinting about cancelling the laptop he just ordered. ok, now I just don't get it anymore! whatever, hehee... =)

Do you want to explore the night with the power of your fingertips? now you can with meade my sky. With this awesome gadget you can tour the night sky with just a click of a button not to mention it's featured with a full-color LCD screen. no need of humongous science instruments. When we were little kids me and my brother were always interested in seeing the stars at night, how I wish we had this one back then. It's a great way to learn a lot of things about the Universe. I've never really seen gadgets like these in personal but this one truly amazes me, what a fun way to learn about what's way beyond our planet.

wood blinds


back home when I was younger the last house I lived in was filled with plastic blinds and everytime we washed it we get a really hard time cleaning it since it takes a lot of our time, but I always knew blinds were better than curtains. check out this site with really wonderful wood blinds, It's nice owning one of these since we are planning to buy a home in a year or two, It'll be perfect for our living room. and what makes it great is it will never be affected by humidity and is fully washable. jut great for any home or office.

*सिघ*

Thanks for the feedback on my latest entry, I guess we all feel the same way. but this is the blogging world and I appreciate every single person I've met for becoming one of my best friends on the net. hmm, been trying out for the money making sites online, hmm so far I really need to work a lot on it since it's really hard to start on it. I just don't have the time, argh.. when I come home my brother's using the computer, I have to teach Nathan his lessons before playing, hubby wants me to cuddle with him, etc. how in the world would I work on my sideline? anwyays, I don't get Payperpost? how do you actually start on that? call me DUMB but yeah... I so admire my friends like cherry rose and ate Honey for being so active in money making sites, how do you guys do it?? (lol) oh well, I had a rough day at work.. it was sooo busy! and we had a lot of new cashiers in training, and it seems we're getting more and more siblings everytime we hire =). I trained them yesterday, gosh I feel like a supervisor (but I am so far from that) they were like 11, and I heard there's more coming by the next few weeks, yikes. but they were all good things. I heard good comments about me from fellow co workers and it just makes my heart sing, how wonderful... ok, gotta go.. it's about 1:03 am, kelangan na matulog bago magising si hubby =P

have a blessed day everyone!

=/


Sometimes I love to bloghop, depends if I'm in the mood. I just remembered I left some kind comments (with nice feedback) for fellow bloggers long time ago, but never ever came to say thank you at all. what blogger etiquette is that? the last time I checked I read their sidebar: comments are always returned. I understand maybe they just forgot about me, or maybe because they judge the person before leaving any comment. that made me realize one day bloghopping is useless sometimes. (nakakatamad na minsan) whoever comments at my site I treat them my friend right away. I can distinguish the ones who are phoney and who are not. It's not important to have lots of comments anyway, lately blogging daily made me realize it's much more better than blogging weekly or monthly, I keep up with comments better. not like when I used to have 50 or more in a week it kinda overwhelms me and makes blogging life more stressful... but I assure you, I'll fill my blog with juicy posts (w-ell not that juicy) hehee..

have a blessed day everyone!

paypal at last


at long last, finally after months of thinking if I am ever getting a paypal.. I just signed up for it! and I am thinking of blogging on a daily basis, it's hard not getting enough fresh content. as you all know my mom and brother lives with us so the expenses have gone up (lol) so for that I signed up for payperpost, hopefully I'll have some opportunites every now and then. when you become a mom, you'll start to think of your family, so please bear with me guys... oh well, I'll be off now, time for me to sleep. later, gators!


have a blessed day everyone!
