sharing is caring

That's what we keep on telling our son. Our son loves to share and hope he could carry that good value up until he has his own family to pass it on. We are so proud of our son. Parenting can be quite hard and while our children are growing up we encounter along the way things that can be challenging to us. But what's important is we learn from our mistakes and we start all over again. The way a child is raised really depends on the parents. It has to start from a good home and good role models that they can look up to. Lead by good example.

Speaking of sharing, I was reading the Yahoo headlines just a moment ago about an NFL star who gave so much joy to a little kid and I was reading some of the comments like majority of them were upset because most celebs don't really get it when it comes to making a person happy. They should share more of what they have since they are making millions, and I know most stars out there are reaching out giving 100% of their time to help out those in need. I admire stars who help out instead of splurging out on sports cars, mansions, partying, shopping, etc. How I wish we could have more people like them in this world.

making life easier

When I first got here in the states, Everywhere I go I see senior citizens with portable stuff with them like a portable oxygen concentrator, electric handicap carts, And just about anything you see with them. Even though they have an illness nothing seems to stop them from going out and live a normal life. It's very nice to know how people can come up with stuff like these that can help us in our every day lives especially for the elderly and handicapped. I salute those people who made every contraption out there that can make our jobs easier and better.

curbing my appetite

Had a great workout today! Me and the hubs didn't go for a few days now and It was nice to get in shape again. I weighed this morning, so far 212 lbs. nothing new. What's important is I'm not getting heavier. I was eating spaghetti the past 2 days so far, It's better than rice. You burn it faster. Well, Vegetables are pretty good, because last night around 7:45 my friend at work gave me rice and this shrimp and pork sauteed in green beans, red bell pepper, onions, garlic, carrots and mushrooms. And I was so surprised I lost a pound in 2 days. Awesome! I just wish I can curb my appetite more, I'm just not happy with my body right now, everything is just running slow for me. Maybe I need to try phentermine and see what happens. Anybody out there tried this yet? Let me know how it goes for you. I just need a little boost, hopefully I can lose more pounds within the next few months before 2010 ends.

Diamonds are forever

Yes, indeed. I love Diamonds, how about you? I was just reading about certified diamonds from Brilliance.com, They're just soooo gorgeous. A diamond is sure a girl's bestfriend. Although, I really don't need anymore jewelry but hubby insists that it's a good investment for the future so maybe later on he'll buy me more jewelry. I feel so special, but at the same time I feel bad because I really don't need it right now and I am more fond of wearing beaded jewelries just in case I lose any There will be no problems, right? But you should also think about your children, It will surely benefit their future.

back it up!

Currently backing up my files while browsing around online. I'm so scared to lose important files, because a few months ago I had lost A LOT of files when my laptop crashed on me because of spyware, thanks to my hubby for recovering some of my files I had to start all over again. We all dread it, That's why a lot of people turn to online backup services, Just in case dreaded moments like that happens - You'll thank yourself one day for keeping your stuff safer than ever. Nextadvisor.com Has lots of Online Backup reviews So you know which one is the best one for you. For the meantime, Let me head back to what I'm doing since I don't have the whole day to do this.

What happened?

The Mcdonalds we have today is so different from the ones we had before. We dropped by Mcdonalds for some nuggets and snack wraps and just waited nearly 30 minutes for our order! Will never go there again, ever. Such poor service.

Anyways, As I was saying - I sure miss the Mcdonalds from the good ol' days! I remembered my dad would bring us inside the base (Subic bay) and we would have a long walk to get to Mcdonalds instead of taking the bus. We would spent the whole afternoon playing with other military brats and just eating burgers, fries, nuggets and shakes. We loved getting happy meal toys with Our favorite Happy Meal Gang and the McNugget Buddies. I love looking at Ronald, Grimace, Birdie, Hamburglar... (sigh) I miss my childhood days.

As I was waiting for our order, I couldn't help but just look around the new Mcdonalds look. It never dawned on me until today, What happened to the old Mcdonalds?

Colorful red and yellow chairs were replaced with a more Cafe-like ambiance. the McCafe... So sad... But that's how it is, We leave old memories behind and welcome new ones. What was your best Childhood memory?

random weirdness

I think it was a few weeks when I noticed something weird. I was looking through my cell's notepad, For some reason I opened the note "Dodge caravan" where I have listed our past license plates there. I started adding up the numbers.

We have purchased our first second hand vehicle which is the 1990 MPV Mazda last 9-23-03. And we had purchased our Brand new mini van, the 2007 Dodge caravan on 03-07-07.

My hair stood up, and sent chills to my spine on what I have discovered.

9 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 17

3 + 7 + 7 = 17

My brother passed away last 08- 17-08, 17 was the number. It was the clue for the day of my brother's death. Now if you add up 8 + 1 + 7 + 8 = 24 is the day of our Anniversary. 17 was the day my hubby first sent me a text. It is also the day me and hubby had met. It's the birth day of my grandfather. It's the day my mom first came to the States.

It's really weird how numbers work. Coincidence? I don't know. I just realized how this certain number had been there all along trying to tell us something. I guess it was a clue all along.

I've read about numerology before and how the numbers 9/11 tied up to the tragic 9/11 incident. 9 + 1 +1 = 11 11 is equals the twin towers, The world trade center.

How about you? Do you believe?

poor memory

I seriously need to upgrade my laptop's memory. It's just ridiculous, It is running so slow. Completely losing my patience here. HELP! I am so tired, yet I'm still online. I really wanted to update my blogs today and back up some files before something happens to it AGAIN. I cannot imagine my laptop dying on me, I don't want to experience the near-death of my files. Terrible! Let me just browse around for some laptop memory at Buy.com. If I find something on their site I might convince hubby to buy me one for my poor lappytop. have a great night, everyone!

good day, mate!

I had a great day today. Dropped the kids off at school, Went to the gym with hubby, had a great workout, we did laundry together, finally washed our bedsheets, hubby cooked, I fetched the kids from school and we had a great walk towards the shopping center nearby our home and went to Carl's Jr for a snack. Walked all the way back home, we took the far route for a good exercise. The Weather these past few days was a bit gloomy, but I love it - as long as it doesn't rain. So yeah, I can really say that I felt very accomplished. Another day of relaxation tomorrow, and another day at the gym, I think I am addicted to the treadmill again - I enjoyed my workout today, running is the best if you wanna sweat it out real good. I have to take a rest from the elliptical machine, for the meantime I need to focus on running. I looked at my weight today and I can feel that I will be dropping below 210 any day now, I can't wait! I've been stagnant within the 211 to 213 spot for a few weeks now. Partially my fault since I am working I feel so lazy to workout. Work can always get in the way and ruin your diet, so you tend to eat more because your brain is telling you are hungry when you are not. I'm about to hit the sack anytime soon, but I still need to finish some stuff online, I'm currently reading about Becoming a licensed energy auditor. Sounds Interesting, huh? I might just give it a try someday, Who knows what's in store for me. I need to sleep soon, I have a lot of things to do tomorrow and I want to make sure I'm in great shape to fulfill my duties. ;)

dreams

I take naps in the morning right after the hubby takes the kids to school. I would take about 2 hours of nap. Usually I end up having weird dreams. They would easily fade away if I don't pay much attention to them. I always dream of lizards for some reason, I hate them! hehee. This morning, I had a weird dream. I was in our old house that we were renting back when dad was still with us in the Philippines. There were strange noises upstairs so I decided to take a peek on one of the rooms, just as I opened it a boy about 10 or 11 was looking outside the window. This boy was pale white! I believed it was a ghost and ran back downstairs screaming. My dream ended then and shifted to a different dream. I don't know who the boy was since I only saw a little bit of his side. My heart was racing in my dream, I wanted to scream so bad. Why do we have dreams anyway? Sometimes dreams can tell you something and tell a bit of your future. DO you guys have recurring dreams, too? Because I do, but that was long time ago. :-/

revived at last!

It has been a few years since I last uploaded a video on my youtube channel. Now, because I saw a lot of videos from my friends I finally revived my youtube. Glad I didn't delete it back then, I knew I was coming back. Scarty Was right, It's better to have all your videos in one spot and not scattered all over the internet. :) feel free to add me, friends!

Shows in the 90's

If you were one of those kids who grew up in the 90's, THIS site is a great place to visit. The memories of my childhood just comes back all over again. Me and my brother loved watching Nickelodeon. Every morning before going to school we flip the channel to Nickelodeon and we would have a dose of our favorites. The same thing would be in the afternoon after school. Our favorites were: All that, Kenan and Kel, Hey arnold, Rugrats, Rockos modern life, are you afraid of the dark, Legends Of the Hidden Temple, Clarissa explains it all.

Moving to other channels, We also watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ranma 1/2, Macross, other japanese drama cartoons that were tagalized like: Trapp family singers, Princess Sarah, Remi, Heidi, Cedie, A Dog of flanders and so on. A few Anime's here and there like Gundam Wing, Sailor moon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Wedding peach, Pokemon, Mojacko, Dexter's lab... We watched a lot of Bioman, Shaider, Masked rider black, Power rangers (LOL)... The list just goes on. I'm happy to walk down memory lane, I feel as if I'm a kid again. It feels so good. I miss my childhood days, Don't you?

More to come...

the right shoe

I want to buy new shoes! I saw this christian louboutin shoes on the internet and It was soooo pretty. Look at this one right here. Aren't they pretty? I love hot pink so much. And the price! My oh my. I don't think I can afford it. My birthday's on Thursday, you can buy it for me, pretty please? :D That will create a hole in your pocket.



I love shoes very much. I promised myself I won't purchase any new ones right now, in the past 7 months I had purchased a few shoes, and I really don't want to add new ones again because we still don't have the space. Hubby promised by the end of the year we will have our own place. I do feel sad moving away from my sis-in-law and her family, but that's how life is, right? We can't be together all the time. I can't wait to have our own house so I can decorate it. :)

Undecisive

I'm happy and sad at the same time. I was offered something really great today, but at the same time You can have enemies at the end. What's worse is... I have to do it while being the same grade. I know you're not getting me right now, but just let me rant. In short, I'm getting a position that's supposed to be done by a higher grade. It's not fair. If they offered me a higher grade, I'll surely do it in a heart beat. But if you won't get anything from it, forget it. It's not worth my time. I'm not taking any chances. I don't want to be stressed out because of that. I'm still working under a 24 hours contract, still waiting to be 30 hours. I hope it pulls through, It's just not fair being 24 hours when you have a lot of work going on. (sigh) I said I needed time to think, but The answer is NO... I was flattered when I was asked about it, but It's a tough job and somebody else higher than me needs to do that. :(

movie night

It's been a long time since my last blog post. Goodness, my life seems so hectic at the moment. Who am I kidding? A Working mom is always a busy mom. So let me just squeeze in some time to blog before I jump the bed. We are going to watch "death at a funeral" according to hubby It's pretty funny, The thing is I'm already freshened up - but He is not ready yet! He is still watching The deadliest catch, his ultimate favorite reality show. Anyways, I'm not updating my weight loss journal just yet, I think I've hit the plateau. I need to find some more ways to lose weight again. I'm quite happy that I'm maintaining my weight on the 212. Sometimes I feel desperate already, Like today at Wal-mart I wanted to buy any kind of weight loss pill but the thing is I still don't know what's the best weight loss product out there. I am tempted. Really tempted. I just need to choose wisely when it comes to eating the right kinds of foods. Oh well, I need a rest anyway... I'm still going to the gym, so That's pretty great for me.
