bye, iphone--hello blackberry! + meet my new love

Around September 20th, I was so happy with hubby because he bought me my very own Bamboo fun tablet! I am soooooo happy, you wouldn't even imagine =). We bought it at Circuit City, because Best buy didn't had any. It was around a few years ago I wanted so much to buy a wacom pen tablet, but back then that was around 2004 it comes in a huge packaging and I don't think that was any good at all, hubby still refused to buy me one back then. but I guess maybe because he saw my incentive award on my pay stub for this year, and he saw my performance rating, I was Outstanding! hubby was proud of me I guess. well, I worked hard for it... customer service is no joke, a lot of people hate my job especially when you deal with a lot of picky and whiney customers, if you're not used to a job like mine, you'll have white hair in no time =D.



I can't wait to make doodles and all kinds of stuff with it. Eversince we had our computer I stopped drawing on paper which I kinda miss, I usually draw cartoons, design clothes and just doodle away. I might make some digital scrap goodies, starting with doodles! There's still a lot that I need to do, I still have no time creating some but I promise later on I'll be offering freebies from time to time. I just love the tablet with it's wireless mouse I got rid of my belkin mouse, boy I really hated that mouse I had to chase it every now and then.. ugh. but anyways, I'm lovin' my pen tablet! thanks, hubbykins! I love youuuuu!!

In other news, I finally got my blackberry curve yesterday. I was so sad to get rid of my Iphone, but it had lots of problems, feel free to read HERE. I will surely miss it, but I am loving my new blackberry, it's so light weight! I wasn't happy with it's web browser so I downloaded and installed Opera mini on it, so far it's not bad at all. can you imagine that the 28th will be marked as 1 month since we bought my Iphone? I finally saw the negative stuff about it before the 28th, that was quick! good thing we had the time to exchange it for a different phone. Or else I might have been stuck with it. yikes!





ok, I finally made up another blog! this time, it's a shopping blog! anything shopping related (lol) I got hit by the blog bug. (u__u) oh, my with my hectic work, being a mom and wife and without my mom here with me, how the heck am I gonna do with 3 blogs?? Well, I really don't care, I feel like I need a lot of space to write on, let's see how it goes. need link exchanges? feel free to pop a comment! thanks! pls. visit my Shoppaholic blog. enjoy!

Litratong pinoy # 1... Puti at Itim

Ngayon lang ako nakisali sa Litratong Pinoy, para kasing nakakaengganyo maghanap ng litrato na aayon sa tema ng bawat linggo at hindi lang yun marami ka rin makikilalang mga pinoy na magagaling kumuha ng litrato. Puti at itim, naisip ko ano nga ba ang pwede ko gamitin para sa tema na ito? napatingin ako sa kama namin, doon ko nakita yung tatak na ala zebra na comforter na pasalubong ng aking hipag galing Korea noong marso. mahilig ako sa comforter kaya ilang buwan na nakatago yan eh inisip ko rin na gamitin dahil sobrang lamig dito sa gabi, kami kasi ng asawa ko baligtad kami! pag naiinitan ako nilalamig sya, pag ako naman ang nilalamig eh sya naman itong naiinitan, nakataas lahat ang mode ng electric fan at air con, eto lang gamit ko sa gabi ok na ako dahil masarap talaga ang tulog ko gamit itong comforter, sobrang lambot at kumportable sa gabi.

It's my first time joining Litratong Pinoy, It's like I'm very enticed to look for certain photos that goes with each weeks theme and not only that you can also meet a lot of pinoys that are great taking pictures. White and black, I thought about what I can use for this weeks theme? I looked on the bed, there I saw the zebra printed comforter from my sister-in-law, a gift from them last March. I enjoy comforters very much so after a few months being hidden away I finally used it because at night it's very cold here, well, for me and my husband, we're the opposites! If I'm feling hot, he is feeling cold, and when I am feeling cold he's the one feeling hot, everything is on their high modes like the electric fans and the air con, this is the only one I use at night and I feel much better. because I sleep good using this comforter and it's very comfortable at night.

eggnog memories

I grew up in the Philippines with my mom as a filipina and my dad an american, so you would definitely know that we've been brought up with two separate kind of traditions. me and my brother would spend a lot of time with our dad cooking up some delectable dishes and sweet desserts in the kitchen while mom was away. mom always hated the kitchen being sloppy, so my dad sends her away to go do something for herself while we create and experiment on some stuff at home like making desserts, my dad loves to bake oatmeal and raisin cookies from scratch, he'll make batches and batches of it even some our neighbors' kids will come on over and eat some. Those days I surely miss a lot. What I really miss the most is spending Christmas with my dad, because he makes great eggnog. If you would hear eggnog, some of you might think it's a bit yucky. I can't blame you for that, as a child we enjoyed sipping eggnog while we celebrate christmas together at home, talking story with the whole family and neighbors greeting each other in delight. Christmas is fast approaching, it's only around the corner and as for me being a mom, I'd love to pass on to my children what great things I have experienced as a child like make eggnog once a year, check out this website that shows some egg nog recipes perfect for the Holidays, don't miss it! try it right now.

Happy talkie, talkie ... Visual Talking

greener than green

It's amazing how this world today is learning more and more everyday on how to save our planet starting with the small things that we do everyday. People regret what they have done to our planet, if you think about it it's never too late to save our mother earth. Every little thing counts, when you have the positive vibe to do it, then I say go for it! I myself is thinking green all the time, I do the best I can to contribute what is good for our environment starting out with cloth bags you see at your local stores instead of using plastic bags, Oh my I am telling you we have a closet full of plastic bags and I keep reminding hubbykins that it's time we stop using plastic bags and start reusing it instead. and before I forget, for those eco-loving people out there, there's this online store called greenandmore.com a website filled with eco friendly gifts that you can purchase for families and friends, what a way to show your eagerness to save our planet, not only your doing a great deed for yourself and for someone, you are doing the best for your environment, what makes these eco friendly gifts great is they are made of pure recycled materials, isn't that great? maybe I'll start browsing around to see what I can find for my home here.

poor, poor mini van..

Well as some of you know our loving mini van went to the doctor, I guess we'll be getting it by Monday, I think. One night, hubby called me while I was surfing the net, telling me that he went into a small accident, I was pretty disappointed at that time but luckily he wasn't hurt or anything plus no one was involved in the accident. It was raining at the time, when he was about to enter the freeway going back to our place by Aloha stadium, by the old cemetery, as he was turning the wheels to the right he said he couldn't turn it, like the wheels were locked in a straight direction so he was braking but he whammed into the rail anyway. The police couldn't locate him coz there wasn't any address at all, it was on the freeway! Then after everything was settled and reported they told him that the place was haunted or something because they had a lot of cases like what happened to hubby, well it is close to the cemetery, need I say more?



I jokingly asked if he speeded, he told me 'no' because first of all if he was speeding the whole front of the vehicle would be totalled! I believed him, the left side was dented and scraped, lights were broken. poor van! What's so funny is we were trying to move to another car insurance, hubbykins got a quote from most of the insurances out there but nothing compares to Geico, I don't think we'll be changing it at all. so funny, it's like it was giving us a hint not to change our insurance (lol).

Our rental car, A Chrysler Sebring convertible. hubby feels like he's single again whenever he drives this, lol. he pretends that we're on a dating stage. I can't blame him, the mini van is definitely for moms only hahaa... he'll be getting one himself soon, right now isn't the right time especially for gas prices still on the rise, but lately I saw the prices going down, every cent counts. At first driving this baby was uncomfortable... I like higher vehicles better. but the 2nd day wasn't bad, got the hang of it. I'm not used to driving with the top down not unlike hubby who loooooves to drive around with the top down =D





aaargh! I miss shopping! I wanna visit Old navy, I can't believe I missed their sales. Maybe I'll go there on my next day off, I need new stuff hehee =D


bag shopping at Old Navy, simple but cheap bags.

In other news, I am currently revamping the site. so please excuse whatever errors you see. will bloghop again later, goshh I miss my other online buddies! I got so addicted to twitter thanks to my Iphone. I promise I'll be stopping by your blogs! mahalo and have a good night to all!

UPDATED: new post at my This and that blog.

where's the exit sign?

Don't you just hate it when you are somewhere downtown and you're in a hurry to get out of that place, especially when it's big you don't even have a clue where to go out! I've been to some places in the Philippines and I hate it when they don't have proper exit signs to usher you out. It sucks big time especially when you are running important errands. Here in the states every store you go to no matter how small or large the store is, you will always see exit signs everywhere, and arrow signs leading you to the exit way, now that's convenient! check out this website called exitsignwarehouse.com, they have every kind of exit sign available for your business, you will like it. go take a look for yourself, and if you are an environmentalist, let's say go green to their energy efficient eco friendly LED exit signs.

a bad joke

One day while I was on the computer net surfing, my mom was outside doing the laundry I showed her a picture of Nate, I peeked at the door and showed her a pic of Nate on my iPhone "mommy, nakagat si Nathan ng hippo..." (mommy, Nathan was bit by a hippo)



boy, did she freaked out! I laughed so hard, not even a few seconds when I showed it to her my phone rang and hubby told me to rush to the school coz Nathan bumped his head in the cafeteria, and we don't know how bad it was! I was in complete shock from what I've heard and I grabbed my bag as quick as I could. when I went to the school health room, I saw Nate with an ice pack on his head, eating his lunch while the school nurse was talking to him. They were observing him for 20 minutes already, he was fine, nothing serious, I was sooooo nervous! any mom would react the same way, right? so anyway, it was just weird joking around like that, can you imagine having a phone call after having that bad joke? ughh. picture taken from Ala Moana's jungle fun, kinda like Dave and Buster's but with a jungle themed environment.

have a great night, everyone!

aaaawwww, hubby got into an accident but I am so glad he was ok, it was raining at the time and he didn't get hurt, the lights on the left side was badly broken and really dented and scraped... first it was our brake pads, now this! minamalas nga naman...

on a diet?

With this new generation of ours, obesity has dominated a lot of countries specifically here in America where good food is always served to many. So because of this a lot of people try their best to lose weight even the unnatural way. They will do anything just to stay slim, some don't even care what they take as long as they lose the weight. What's scary about taking diet pills is you don't know how it started, what's the history behind it, what's it really made of, now think about all the questions you really have in mind, especially nowadays lots of diet pills are popping right out of nowhere, it's the new fad in town. To know more about a certain diet pill you need a website like diet-pills.sybervision.com that can help you find that right diet pill you always wanted. read Diet pill reviews to know more about each product so you will know for sure how effective that product can be, or how it can affect your body if it has it's own side effects harmful or not, plus you need to know if it's affordable to you. Diet pill review websites are great for people who are on the look out for diet products, at least you know that you are doing the best thing for yourself, don't just purchase any diet pill, read reviews and see what's best for you.

almost gave up...

... but I'm glad I didn't! I'm tallking about ppp of course. my site url's PR has been a zero for a long time, thanks to google. I really was sad about it coz you couldn't even see 2 or more tasks, I even changed categories but I guess when my PR went to Zero my blog really got affected. but.. I really don't care about my PR anymore, as long as there are tasks coming in I don't really care. but I received an email that I had a ppp direct offer, and when I checked it out I was amazed coz I had 2 offers! imagine that. It's been a year since I started with ppp, and I've never had a ppp direct offer before. after submitting my post, I got paid right away the same day! I'm just happy that there is still hope for our blogs no matter what. to those people who made an offer, thank you so much!! and thank you, ppp!

being annoyed...

Let's face it, we can easily get annoyed by every silly little thing we encounter in a day to day basis. What can be MORE annoying than people harassing you on your own phone number? Now, my friend I just remembered a few years ago when we had our new phone line hooked up, I think there was never a day that someone had not called bugging us for surveys, verifications, solicitations and all other stuff that you can think of. I think somebody owned that number of ours and a lot of people, kept on calling looking for a certain person, we told them that we were the new owners of that phone number, after hanging up the next day they called again. pretty annoying if you ask me, plus It's like an invasion of privacy you know, but there is this website called AnnoyingCallers, it's a website built so that you can search on their database and track down that phone number you are using and check it out if someone had the same problem just like you have, and if it's not there try inputting your own and share your experience of having persistent phone calls, how they harassed you and how many times they have called you. This is a great website for all people out there who are being annoyed constantly. Let's stop the annoyance once and for all. try annoyingcallers.com.

thank you, mahalski!

halski just bought me an Iphone 3g! yipeee, I am so happy! that was around the 28th, and I am so lovin' my new phone, I've never been this attached to a phone since high school =D. Hubby blocked his sim card by accident testing his boss' blackberry, I think, I don't know what that boy did. His boss went with us because he also bought an iphone on that same place. and we switched to At&t because we weren't satisfied with T-mobile anymore =/. years of service, finally a new one! a new start once again. I was supposed to get a blackberry, too but he opted to get an iphone for me, oops I didn't force him to buy me one hehee =P. So he got himself a blackberry curve, it was a great deal coz it had a rebate of full price so actually the phone was free, not bad at all, huh.



I'm also back in Twitterland! feel free to follow me =) HERE. It feels so good to have internet with you wherever you go, now I can blog and check my emails away from home, not to mention visit my fave blogs on the run. my SIL told me the Iphone has some negative issues, I think I know what it is already, but that's ok, I still love it =D.

(sigh) today I was by myself, hubby's at work while Nate was in school. I cried again while huggin my brother's urn. I still can't believe that's him inside... painful talaga, wish I can get over this feeling. I so miss him so much....

When my brother was undergoing Chemotherapy and Radiation, he had a lot of stuff being delivered to him by the pharmacy, all his prescriptions and as well as medical supplies, they were always on time and they were always pleasant, too. If you live around Canada there's this website called drugdelivery.ca, now they are not any kind of online pharmacy, they are an Online Pharmacy Escrow Service. They can help you get what you really want, and they make sure you get the best service you need. This new generation of ours is full of lies and fraud, especially in the web world where we are not sure whether we can trust a certain website or not, how can you stay away and completely avoid sites that you are unsure of? simply visit drugdelivery.ca for more information on how to use their service, plus they can also price match! how great is that. They will protect you among those internet frauds that keeps popping up everywhere, try their service and you won't regret it.

bye, mommy

My mom left last Sept. 3rd along with my brother's girlfriend, they went to San Diego and probably go to my aunt's place in Washington, after that they'll continue their trip to the Philippines. oh, I so miss her already. I just wished she didn't go... I'm still hoping she would stay... so yeah, I'm glad that Nate is finally in school, he got approved for A+ after school care, thank God. right timing, just as mom made the decision to go back home to the PI. We all cried that night before their departure, said our final goodbyes and hugs, sorrys and whatnots... hope she'll come back though. but I know she will.

shoo, acne!

I am suffering from bad acne right now since it's that time of the month again for me, I usually don't have mine regularly, but when the time comes acne usually comes out on the chin area, oh how I hate it so much. I envy people who really have smooth, flawless skin, it's just amazing having acne-free skin. but wait, don't you know there's this website called getacnetreatments.com, it's one of those websites who research on the best acne treatments around so you can have ideas on what's best for your skin. read product reviews from all kinds of acne products, you'll learn a thing or two on what's best and what is not. You'll have lots of selections and you won't regret it, especially for the price you pay, nothing beats the best quality with an affordable price. I really don't have severe acne at the moment, but if you are experiencing the worst moments of your life because of those terrible acne, now's the time and try visiting their website for more information.
