proud pinay + proud mom

I saw this website called Happy slip yesterday from Scarty and she's right her website is an interesting one.. and take note: a HAPPY one! and ate Scart is right, she also kinda looks like ate Noreen. I just finished watching a few videos today, I'm not even done yet.. the way she portrays things in her videos and how she acts out all the characters are just superb. so talented. she's a real person at heart, you can really tell from a person right away. I enjoyed watching her videos, because everything that she acts out in her videos are pure FUN! and it's true. I came from a filipino family and just by watching her videos makes me remember everything that I experienced with my fanily as well back then. and that goes for our everyday life, too eveything is just pure reality in what goes on in our lives. you gotta go watch her videos, you'll be laughing your head off, seriously. she makes us filipinos proud. you go, girl!

and in other news, I'm also a proud mom! my lil boy showed me how to do his name so I thought why not record that moment where he writes his name without looking at me at every second he writes a letter not being sure if he did it right, I took videos of him writing his name before but those took a long time for him to complete his name. but today he just made me a proud mom. the other night me and his papa were listening to him reading a few sentences, writing his name a few times in a minute, counting numbers, writing numbers and adding them. he's almost there, thank God...

I'm not really a patient mom but thank goodness my hubby is here to guide me coz I easily blow up and my temper just ruins everything. (sigh) the joys of motherhood, it's just great experiencing the milestones of our children. pure bliss...

I gotta get off now, I'll see you lovely ladies later.. xoxo

I'm freezing

yes, you got that right... I am ice cold! the weather we have right now is really something else. it's raining every single day, the sun peeks out for a moment then gets back on track pouring us with ice cold rain, I am so shivering right now, I have to go to work in 3 layers all the time it's ridiculous, their air condition is also cranked up and I have a co-worker inside the cash cage who blasts up 2 fans leaving us freezing to death. funny, I know. I'm so glad our centralized air condition provides heat so that's no problem for me, but when we get our own home someday, I want to make sure we have a heater to make sure we get the warmth we need to stay comfortable. like that website at products.desatech.com they have gas infrared heaters, it's simple and affordable, will be able to save you a lot of money. We have to be practical in choosing stuff for our home and when it comes to home heaters I think wall heaters take the cake. Check out their selections that comes in all brands. When you have a family it will be much safer, clean and most of all convenient. So try their products at DESA online outlet. These are great for gifts, too so check out their website now and pick up a home heater now!

technorati love

I feel very bad about my blog, it went to a pr2 then sprang back to zero. eekk. luckily my scrapkitty url is a 3. anyways, I've seen a lot of my online friends do the technorati thingy, It's been awhile since I've accessed that site. so I finally joined the bandwagon hehee. pls. add me to your lists, I will be so happy to fave you guys, too... just comment here with your technorati address, mine's http://technorati.com/people/technorati/pinkkitten83, so let's get the ball rolling! I'll update again tomorrow... love you, guys!!

not good =(

uhm, yeah I don't feel well.. just got a lil cold. I guess it's because of the cold weather brrr.. it's freezing!! I am pretty sure it's also darn cold over there wherever you are. care for a hot cup of cocoa? hahaaa. so last night went to the dollar theatre by Ala Moana at restaurant row, we planned on watching hitman but I saw it was rated R, so was Alien VS Predator, we decided that me and Nathan would watch Bee Movie instead then mom would watch hitman and my brother at AVP, we were done watching the movie around 9:30, talk about a windy night! for the past few days I've been waking up early around 5:30 am to cover my co-worker's shift, we're short on people coz we have 1 on emergency leave and 1 who went to San Francisco. aww, I wish we could be on vacation sooner. we're such workaholics, huh? we have flying benefits since hubby's company works under Continental airlines, but we never use it, even once. but hubby promised us in a year or 2 we'll probably go to Disneyland at orlando, Florida!!! weeeee I am so excited, gotta save extra money for that trip hehee. that's what's best about life, you work then later you get what you want, kinda like a reward for a job well done.

arghh, I am so pissed at my paint shop program, it's not loading my brushes =/ how the heck am I gonna make some wp themes now? anyways, forget that... I'm supposed to take some opps today, but just by looking at the time I feel so tired and I feel so bitchy about a lotta things. I think It's about time to call the sandman, I am not getting productive here... so I bid you all goodnight, ladies!! God bless to all

by the way, thank you Valerie for including me in your dollie network. at last may tagalog blog na ako! ~<3

I sound so funny. pls. bear with me hahaaa =P anyways, more later.. right now I need to get outta here coz I need to wake up 5:30 in the morning. bye, girlies!

the difference you can make

I always give to charity for good causes, as much as possible when I have extra I really want to give to the people who really needs it. I even cleaned up my storage and had at least 4 bags ready to go for charity. It's a nice feeling to give. I don't have much money but from things lying around my home, why not give it away? So How about you? have you given anything to the needy lately? If not, it's about time to spread the word. do you know that by donating your car you can help millions of kids? and help lessen poverty as well? yes, you heard that right. today there's a lot of programs going on helping the children around the world and to help run their program they ask for car donations asides from the traditional donations of toys and other clothing from people. I always hear advertisements on the radio about programs like these. I think it's really a nice deed for people to do this for children who are in need. your car donation goes to this non-profit company called www.carangel.com that uses car donations to make videos for children of all ages, so far they have made and distributed 2.4 million videos. By making these videos money is raised and helps them fund schools helping the children in need throughout the poorest countries around the world. see an example of what kind of videos they make.

Isn't it cute? So think about it. what are you going to do with all that stuff that's sitting in your storage? your back yard and garage? well, my friend you can make a difference once in for all. no car? maybe a friend can help, spread the word now and donate your car today.

I am busy finishing a few stuff here and there organizing my desktop and some pictures of my albums, there's a lot of things that I wanna do but can't decide where to start. hmmm... anyways today we did a lil shopping went to Costco down by Mililani and dropped by Waikele factory outlet, went inside Old Navy to browse some new stuff but I was soooo disappointed with their selections, not much to see. their racks were pretty empty, I wanted to buy some cute looking canvass bags and hoodies but decided to pass on myself, just bought 2 caffe latte flavored lip balms for 99 cents each, on sale and I bought lil Nate a new Rashguard for his next pool fun. I'd probably visit the Old Navy down by Ala Moana, I like it there better, there's always a lot to see. anyways, It's almost valentines and ohhh it's our 6th year anniversary on Feb. 24 aaww, I wonder what I'll get him? by the way, thank you for all the great comments you gave on my last entry about my sister Athena, a lot of you guys asked if she's my half sister, yes she is my half sister from my dad. They now live in Las Vegas that's why she's very far from me. has anyone tried that new website Hulu? It's still in Beta, you can watch all your favorite programs there for free with full episodes. I just registered but according to this columnist in the Midweek Paper it's gonna take some time for your registration to be approved, coz hers took at least 3 weeks. anyhoo, =D I'll leave you guys now, talk to you guys later...

trusted tours

I love travelling. who doesn't? I am pretty sure everyone out there loves to travel. my husband's family are travel oriented people, they have been to a lot of places around the world and how I wish someday I would be able to do that, too. I remembered back in March 2004 my sister-in-law planned on going to San Diego to visit some relatives since they are going to move to Japan soon around July that year. She wondered if we could also come since it was going to be my first time to visit them all, too. San Diego is such a great place if you ask me. When we visited my husband's relatives they were kind enough to offer us a place to stay, but we didn't stay with them because we had a room in a little lodge close to Disneyland and that was great for us. we hopped from one place to another, from Disneyland, Universal Studios, California Adventure and at Sea World. We did some little shopping on the side. It was such a great experience. We had a great time especially we were with the kids at that time, that was more fun! we headed back to my husband's cousin, actually we had to find their home, so we were like on a treasure hunt looking for gold. We were kinda lost but we managed to pinpoint their location. It was so funny, really. I wish I can go back there again, but I have other cities in mind, who knows? So, let me ask you this. are you a travelling bug? if you are, you have to visit www.trustedtours.com for some of their sightseeing tours available for everyone at any place you might want to visit. and not only that, By signing up for their trusted travel eNewsletter you just might win a handhelp GPS! how great is that? great if you ask me. sign up today for their monthly newsletter that can help you with some of their travel tips and informative pieces of stories that can also help you save money. so go on and sign up now! still not convinced? go and visit Trusted Tours & Attractions now.

meet Athena

yep, that's my lil sister, Athena Antoinette. I think that was around last week when I found out from my brother she had a friendster account and myspace, I was like looking for her quite a long time now. I added her but I was afraid she wouldn't add me, as some of you know the last time I saw her was back in the Philippines around 2003 before we left for Hawaii. She was around 8 or 9 back then. When I saw her pics, my I was surprised how much she's grown! she's like 13 yrs old right now. We don't look alike, huh? at first you would think she's Chinese/Japanese or Korean but she's half white and half filipina like me. I was so glad she replied to my message, she uses a lot of happy faces, just like me. and guess what??? she loves HELLO KITTY, just like me! hehee, how great is that, huh? I wish she was close by me, I would really love to bond with her, she's very close to my brother I didn't get to know her better. but it's enough our communication is by these 2 networking sites, that's ok by me.


She sure is a fan of hello kitty, look at her bow hahaha except it's on the other side, how cute. Oh well, I'm off to get ready for work, lately I am sooooo bored with my online life, It's been a few days since I got on my laptop and do something productive, but I am being productive with my offline life that's for sure, so far I've lost 6 pounds in a week. in other updates I updated my multiply, just click on smy albums...
treasures from friends, Christmas 2007, Universal Studios

The pictures at Universal studios was taken around 2004 a few months after I gave birth that's why I look sooooo huge =P. anyways, I am currently making a wordpress/blogger theme for valentines featuring Hello Kitty, of course. each month I am making a Wodpress/blogger Hello Kitty theme for my Hello Kitty Series to add to my pixel site. updates will come later...

ta-ta, ladies! mwahh

coupon chief's the best

What I like about shopping are coupons. I know a lot of customers hate cutting coupons, because according to them, collecting coupons is such a hassle, whenever they go shopping they keep forgetting to use their coupons. Some forget it at home, I don't have any idea why it isn't tucked in their wallets or perhaps in a coupon bag, that would surely save them time and money, no matter how little the amount is. I love cutting coupons myself but I rarely use it though. So I guess it's quite understandable for people not using coupons to save money. but listen here, CouponChief.com has a great deal going on, with Dick's Sporting Goods coupons you can save a lot of money when you shop at Dick's.

a happy camper

Believe it or not but I haven't experienced camping my whole life. Seriously, whenever my school had scheduled camping trips I never sign up, ever. Why, you ask?

Yes, as much as I hate to admit it I hate all kinds of bugs, the nasty looking ones, I hate mosquitoes, flies, roaches, lizards, frogs, you name it. but I love Nature very much. but I promised myself one day I better try camping for fun, you know just to have an experience what it's like. maybe one day when I'm ready I might purchase some camping stuff over at shop4campinggear.com where they have lots of discounted camping gear for everyone. browse thru their awesome products like tents, sleeping bags, first aid kits, you name it they got it.

the shampoo on the go

Are you one of those people who are always on the go? I myself is one of them and I have really long hair, I shampoo it everyday and yes, I know using shampoo everyday is bad but I can't help it I love having clean air even if it takes a long time for me fix it, dry it. and I can't help it whenever I go to work I want the feeling of clean hair, I don't want to be conscious of myself knowing someone is smelling your hair right there and then, you never know. I work for customer service and everyday you deal with people and your co-workers are always besides you watching what you're doing sometimes. My hair is hard to manage and everytime I go to work I always make sure that I wet my hair. I admit there are times when my husband wants to go somewhere and I didn't even get to shower yet I feel so dirty when we go out, I just wished back then I had a shampoo that can really help people who are always on the go like me, my husband loves to go out very much especially when he's at home an idea will pop from nowhere and... boom! we're out the door before you know it. I am pretty sure I'm not the only one who has problems with clean hair on the go, I'm so thankful there's a product like the Salon Grafix Spray Powder Shampoo now we can always have it wherever we go. It has a color matching formula, whether you are a blonde, redhead or brunette it's perfect for you. revitalizes hair leaving your hair clean and fresh. You don't have to worry about white powder brushing off your shoulders and shirt, it leaves no oil residues and makes your hair shiny, too. What a great product this is, don't you think? I am definitely buying this. A dry shampoo that all girls will love for sure, so better try it and see for yourself what a great product this is for all the women out there.

shrinking woman

I feel hungry yet I have the feeling of not wanting to eat. last night I was up watching tv, as I was flipping the channels I saw this documentary about an obese woman, they were performing a surgery on her, they were doing liposuction! then they were slicing up her flesh you can really see the fat under all those skin, I almost threw up right there and then. I am very squeamish, mind you.. if I see blood or any kind of slicing of flesh, I couldn't eat meat for days sometimes weeks. I avoid watching bloody scenes, that's the reason why I didn't take up nursing and I couldn't apply at Tripler Hospital just yet.. It's really scary how people can grow so big, well I am a big woman myself but to grow 300 to 700 pounds... I don't know, it's pretty scary.. I really felt bad for her when she woke up she was in terrible pain it's like ripping the skin away from your body, they removed 13 pounds of fat from her and I was just terrified when I saw them handling the flesh they just had cut from the woman. I remembered when I had my C-section it felt sooooo bad! what more removing a lot of flesh from your body? watching that made me more determined to watch what I eat and continue my healthy lifestyle. So far it's been a week all I'm eating is bananas, grapes, oranges, all kinds of fruits and veggies, no fried stuff, just a lil bit of rice, more on cereals and soymilk, lots of water, no coffee or chocolates or any kinds of sweets. I'm sure damn proud of myself. =D

try Ebel

I love watches very much and everytime I visit department stores It's not complete for me to browse around their selections, I don't really buy them but it gives me an idea for gifts, you know sometimes some special days will come and you'll be completely clueless what to give that person. I want to buy my hubby a brand new watch, and what got my attention are those ebel watches at thetimezone.com, they have watches for ladies and men and their selections are quite good, I wasn't very familiar with Ebel watches but I think they can be a really great gift just by looking at those elegant designed time pieces, I admire the diamond watches how I wish I could have one myself right now. The Timezone is an authorized dealer of Ebel Watches so if you are interested in buying one yourself, you can call them up at (866) 909-8463 for any inquiries or just visit their website to browse around what you like. happy watch hunt!

very grateful...

I am very blessed to have these wonderful people as my friends, how can I say thank you? (cries) these came in the mail a few days ago, they both came in the same day, how great is that, huh? I was soooo happy and inspired! so let me plug these ladies before I go.

This wonderful hello kitty keychain came from sis Jhayelle, pls. visit her, she's a preggy hott momma! (and a friendly one, too)


I also got a package from my dear friend former blogger, Anneke, pls. visit her wonderful cute and girly shop now!



and last but not the least, It's our friend Monica's birthday... so go on greet her on her wonderful day!!

I weighed myself this morning, and I can't believe I lost 3 lbs in 2 days! yipeeeee! all we need is exercise, you DON'T have to starve yourself.

I'll update again tomorrow, guys.. much love to everyone!!

affordable eye glasses

I am doing very good with my eyes, thank God. because a few weeks ago I blogged about my eyes being watery and painful. I don't have to wonder why my eyes are starting to feel weak, as soon as I get up I get to go on my laptop, at work we focus on the computer a lot then when I come home at night I still get to go on the computer which of course my eyes are already well strained. I get a lot of awful headaches because of it, so I changed my habit of browsing the net and doing some projects of mine in the morning, when I come home at night I avoid opening my laptop and it's a great feeling, I'm really not ready to wear eyeglasses just yet. Majority of my co-workers wear eyeglasses and I'm the only one who doesn't wear any. Can you imagine how expensive prescription eyeglasses are? my husband can't wait for our vacation to the Philippines because he needs a new pair of eyeglasses really bad, he lost his a few years ago and I worry about him whenever he drives at night. A lot of people don't have eye insurances, it sure is a problem. But take a look at this, there's a Great Discovry:$ 8 Prescription Glasses From Zenni Optical, how about that?

I checked it out and I may say It's great! They have all these kinds of selections you can choose from, very affordable and it's great for those who don't have eye insurances. My mom needs this, I am thinking of purchasing one for her here, she always complains about how her eyes burn leaving her a painful headache. You might want to try it yourself, So order now and see how it can save you a lot of dollars for you and your family. try Zenni Optical now!

the game plan

just watched the Game plan a few days ago and I may say we loved it very much. my son kept on tugging my arm to see it, so we went to Restaurant row to see that movie. I was always a fan of the rock eversince his days in wrestling (yes, I know) yes, you got that right I used to watch wrestling when I was in elementary and high school but not anymore =P. anyways, my son loved it very much he was well behaved in his seat unlike some of the kids running around the theatre laughing, crying and crawling around all over the place. the theatre was packed, I think this dollar movie has more people than regular movie theatres, and I think it's much more practical than paying 9.75 for each person, there's like 5 of us! movies can be very expensive and I keep on telling hubby when a movie comes out we have to at least wait for a few weeks before it comes out at the dollar theatre. It has ballet and football, very cute and kids can be more determined to do well in sports and other activities, like my niece and my nephew they're engaged in all kinds of after school activities thanks to my SIL, she's very supportive with them. I think my son has taken my husband's athletic side, thank God coz I wasn't very athletic myself back then. he loves running and he loves all kinds of balls like basketball, soccer and football, I would catch him saying "hut! hut!" like he was in a game of football, so cute.. how I wish he could be really active in sports when he grows up...

thank you for all the kind comments, guys... don't worry, I am A-OK.. I just have my period, It takes at least a day or two to gain back my confidence and cheerfulness, the perks of being a girl ^_^. I'll blog again tomorrow, later guys...xoxo

appraisals a problem?

When we talk to our manager sometimes we could really see how upset she is and how tiring her job is. Very often she informs us how she can't do everything all at once and one of those is doing our appraisals, she's been working at it for a long time now. we understand her it's a very tough job especially when you handle thousands of employees. What our manager needs is the employee performance evaluation software from halogensoftware.com. This is Halogen's award-winning, web-based performance appraisal software that can help any organization create their performance appraisals for all of their employees. I am pretty sure it will be a piece of cake for all companies that need great help managing their employee evaluations, It will be much better than Paper Performance Appraisal Forms, a lot of benefits are reducing your time and money conducting and reporting up to 85%, improving the quality and completion rates of all employees, aligns employee goals and activities to business priorities, tracking and managing the whole appraisal workflow from your HR and much much more, what's also best with this software is you can do appraisals your way! So give Halogen eAppraisal a try now.

friday's feast =D

Appetizer
What is your middle name? Would you change any of your names if you could? If so, what would you like to be called?

My middle name is Lo, derived from my mom's name Lolita. Well, when I was younger I really wanted a new name like Pamela for instance, coz my dad calls me pammy often I don't know why. but given the chance to change my name, I don't think I will change my name anymore. the name Sirikit is pretty special for me, everyone asks me all the time if I am thailander since It's a thai name. It's all good.

Soup
If you were a fashion designer, which fabrics, colors, and styles would you probably use the most?

I'd probably use a lot of neutral colors and with some pastel colors combined. I'm pretty sure my line of fashion will target the younger generation as well as the middle aged women of today. fabrics will be all kinds, something comfy for our everyday lives, I guess.

Salad
What is your least favorite chore, and why?

folding clothes and ironing them. I am soooo lazy in that department, big time.

Main Course
What is something that really frightens you, and can you trace it back to an event in your life?

When I only had like 12 hours to live because of dehydration. that was pretty scary. =/ thank God I am alive!

Dessert
Where are you sitting right now? Name 3 things you can see at this moment.

I'm at my table right now inside our room. speakers, bed, tv.

completely burned

and irritated! Why everytime that time of the month comes I am completely not myself? I feel so awful about everything about myself.. I don't wanna go on anymore. I feel so bored, I feel like I wanna give up blogging already, but I keep on coming back everytime when I suddenly feel good. I feel like as If I've lost everything... I think it's just me, I need to get away from the pc for awhile. forgive me if I never visit you guys yet, I do visit but I never comment. I don't comment just for the sake of commenting, I just needed to be updated with you guys... blehh, I don't know. I feel very mad.. God, I think I am very burned out... I'll talk to you guys later..

Park West Gallery

I always had a taste for fine arts. growing up with my dad who loved art very much I learned a lot from him, he studied fine arts so he is into painting, drawing, sculptures, you name it. When I was younger I promised myself I would venture into this passion of mine just like my father. I miss seeing my dad's paintings and drawings at home, he would spend countless hours in the evening until dawn while we are all sleeping at night. In short, I really love art. I'm not as talented as him but I am thankful I inherited a bit of it. That's why I am so fascinated to visit galleries and museums, I promised myself I would visit the world's best museums and visit famous art galleries, I am pretty sure that would be so much fun! boring if you tell me, but not for me. If you are an art lover like me try visiting Park West Art Gallery, Park West Gallery is based in Southfield, Michigan and has affiliate locations located in Miami, Florida. They conduct fine art auctions throughout the United States and Canada. They have gallery exhibitions from works of artists like recognized masters and contemporary artists. Park West collects works before selling them. They attend major art events and artist's studios and once artworks are selected they continue to develop relationships with the artist's themselves.

scrap goodies

I forgot to mention that I won Yenny's birthday contest, and I won $10 weeeeee! I am so happy, I never really won anything on the net, seriously that was my first time and I wasn't really expecting anything. So what I did with the money? I simply splurged myself with new scrap goodies sale! I think I bought around 5 kinds of scrap elements from the Lily pad and Miss Tiina's shop. today I called the cab driver and paid him, he was very thankful. Now I am off to drive my brother to the Hospital for his check up. so anyway, I'll be back later for more. toodles!

self-hypnosis

Is it for real? to tell you the truth, I really have no clue. Watching some programs on tv tackling about self-hypnosis says it's true. They say it's really true and it works for them. I've also read about it on some reader digest magazines. Hypnosis is "a trancelike state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject" says the website Definition of hypnosis - Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary.

I think I believe that self-hypnosis can work for our us to be a better, more relaxed person just by using our mind and body. so how does that work anyway? I know a website where you can go to and experience self hypnosis that would be at http://www.instant-hypnosis.com. Maybe that's the reason why I always see people sitting down and listening to their walkmans or their discmans, I think through this they are relaxing by listening to a certain program that can help them get through their daily lives. Hypnosis works by getting you in a trance, bringing you into a deep state of relaxation. It uses Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and they according to them it works 100%. I think self-hypnosis works for stressed people or people who just wants to relax and get rid of a busy day. I am very curious on how it works, maybe just one day I wil give it a go. I am pretty sure it will work for you, so head on over there and see for yourself! ]

been a long time

... Since I made a post! how sad is that? I can't believe I was away from blogging for almost a week? blehhh... sorry, people.. I just had a lot of things to do, plus work was hectic, you can't even imagine. first of, a few days ago hubby told me to take a cab since he cannot leave his shift due to his heavy work load, so I did. I didn't have cash in hand so I went to the ATM and lo and behold... what do you know? my card was retained! I was soooo pissed, pushed clear and cancel a few times, didn't come out. I forgot my cellphone at home and I was so glad I had some coins in my make up pouch I called Navy federal about my card, they asked me if I had received my new debit card which was sent out around November, which I never received. I told her about an experience from one of our customers who's card got retained in the machine and as when he was about to call for help, his card was long gone, tried to cancel his card but someone had already used it to shop at the commissary! for the cash amount of 50 bucks. imagine that, you found someone's card, what do you do? instead of turning it in you use it for your benefit, some people I'm telling you are just a bunch of *****. but gladly, the rep told me my card was already expired so the new one it's on the way now. =/ anyways, I forgot to tell you about the cab driver, he was really nice about it, he never let me pay anymore coz I told him my card got stuck in the machine and I wanted to borrow some cash from my friends at work, but he said no, I asked for his number though I'll pay him next time. what a good samaritan =D.

So, we're a lil shorthanded at work, 3 people are on leave so that means 2 people per shift of course. and I can't believe my other co-worker had resigned, too... but that's another story. will tell you about that later.

I made my last dessert, too.. I don't really know what it's called, so I just called it haupia Okinawa potato graham pie. anybody know what dessert this is? I forgot to ask my friend at work, she brought it around New years eve. I sacrificed my son's box of teddy grahams since I didn't have any regular graham crackers in hand. I think I had put a lot of butter into the grahams, and too much milk into the potato... less haupia topping, too. but it turned out great for the tastebuds. that's the last for me.



and Guess what? I think I am really sticking to my new years resolution. and I am very happy about it. I started to do tae bo again, every day, less rice, more fruits and veggies as well as water and fish. and the first few days (ouchies) my body was crying for help. but as days go by I feel as if I've lost a lot (dream on) but yeah, I have to coz my days are almost up, you guys know when Nathan hits 5 we're soon planning to have an addition to the family, I'm so excited. thinking about it just motivates me to lose more. wish me luck, guys! so, I'll end this post here will chat again tomorrow... God bless, friends!

and oh, I am open for link exchanges since it's the new year, we all need some more new friends out there. just comment if you want to exchange linkies ok? xoxo

Would like to say thank you to the following ladies who gave these wonderful gifts for christmas...




This card was from ate Noreen


from ate Scart

I was about to go to work when I decided to drop by our mailbox, I saw a key and I just knew something spectacular is waiting for me in the other mailbox. It's so exciting receiving something from friends.. and yep, just as I anticipated.. A BOX! when I opened it.. it was just too cute! thank you Lhyz so much for the wonderful engraved jewelry box, you didn't have to, my friend... mwahh






I'm off today but I still need to do a lot of things on my list. We had a great simple new year. Hubby shopped and filled our pantry and fridge with lots of food, he told me eventhough we're not rich we'll never go hungry and as long as our family is complete we'll remain happy and blessed forever. he's such a great man, I tell ya. The 30th hubby woke us up and we ate at Denny's for breakfast around 7:00 am, it was still way too dark at that time, I felt like it was 5:30 in the morning. after that we went to Don Quijote to shop for fruits and other stuff.

here's my fruit bowl. the fruit bowl was a gift from my secret Santa, it has a wreath design, so cute.



around the afternoon hubby wanted to drive around the Island, because he wanted to eat some freshly harvested shrimps at kahuku, the last time we went there was around 2003. So We did, It was very nice driving around the island, It was terrific. We had the longest drive, we drove the whole kamehameha highway just to reach Kahuku. We were trying to find Romys shrimp shack, that's where we ate the last time we were there. It's been a long time since we last saw the place so my hubby was about to give up and turn around and go back to Honolulu, When we went through the Tetsuo harano tunnel (that's not our video, by the way) the scenic point was just awesome! I'll post pictures later... good thing we stopped by this Shrimp truck when we arrived at kahuku, boy we were hungry from that long drive!



It was a graffiti type of truck, where everyone who eats there gets to have their John Hancock on it. as well the tables, too... here's a funny one.





At long last, our lunch has arrived. dig in! yummmmm....

Ok, enough for this long post, I hope I didn't bore ya. I made a new theme, I missed Charmmy kitty, I love her so much, so I decided to make a change! pink, blue green... ahhh...

I'll update my multiply later, for now I gotta get some chores finished. hope you guys had a blastful new year! happy 2008, everyone! thank you for all the greetings!

searching for web hosts?

I know I am. because I am still considering on purchasing my own web host for my personal site. You know, I really love owning my own little home on the web, back in 2004 When I was still starting I didn't really know how to start with everything. I am very glad I met some good wonderful friends online who helped me with all of it. a friend gave me my own mini web host, which was really cool. a year after I decided not to renew it anymore because I was afraid I would lose interest in it someday, I don't want to waste precious money, you know me. I kinda admit I miss having my own web host, I am thinking of owning a little business online, and by starting with that you can always go to http://www.webhostingchoice.com, It's an ultimately free guide for all your web hosting needs. It's either for a personal or business site of yours you can always type in the best qualifications you are looking for. There are thousands of results out here in the web. And here's what's cool, all the newbies out there, you can always learn from their quick start guide that can help you learn the basic steps of web hosting. Don't forget to read their FAQ page for all those unanswered questions of yours, I remember When I was new on the net I was completely clueless about everything. Now you can search for your very own web host, may it be for a small site or a large one for a business you have. try their searchable directory now and you won't be sorry.
