things to do, things to do


I'm just relaxing right now. It's already the 10th and each day is getting closer until I go back to work. I cherish this 2 week vacation I requested. my boss insisted I take it because I have lots of use or lose leave that's about 140+ hours and she doesn't want that to go to waste. That's true. The last vacation time I had that was about last year around August, when I wanted to spend more time with my brother because I knew if I didn't take it then I might regret it sooner. It wasn't a vacation of luxury, I was stressed and worried of everything. I was sad and emotional, buckets and buckets of tears flowed out of me... weeks of mourning... It wasn't a good vacation for me.

Now, I can say I have a good 2 weeks of spending time with my family. bonding with my family just relaxes me so much, not to mention picking up after my son everytime he makes a mess. hubby requesting for food every now and then (LOL) but all in all... It's peaceful around here! I have a list of things to do while I still have 1 more week to go.

THINGS TO DO:

- clean the house. - clean the bathroom. - organize the pantry and refrigerator. - organize the closets. - organize Nate's stuff. - organize my personal stuff. - back up and organize my computer files. (before something happens!) - throw away we don't need anymore. - develop some pictures at Longs. - finish a scrap page for a friend who's leaving. - make scrap pages for my supervisor's new wall. - go to the pool! - change the beddings. - do laundry. - go to the GYM.

I have a lot on my plate right now, but I'll take it one at a time. see ya!

busy, busy, busy =)


hello there, peeps! how are you all doin'? for us here, it was one heck of a week, enjoyable as I may say. very busy week inspite of Nate not having school because of intersession week. tomorrow I am off and I have lots of things to do on my list. how am I gonna do all these in one day? time management, I guess. you know what I hate about myself? I just hate it when I sit in front of the computer I suddenly go blank and just start blog hopping from one site to another, sometimes I do comment but I just loooove to lurk around, you know and then all of a sudden I just realize I needed to finish a lot of tasks that day I end up not finishing it anyway. poor time management, huh? so tomorrow, I am on it! went to Kmart yesterday and hoooo boy, the store is filled with halloween and christmas decorations! oh goodness, why am I not surprised?? hahaa!






cute singing frogs! would love to have one at home =D




just went clothes shopping for hubby because all their items were on sale. I forgot to buy some battery operated tea light candles for the orange bags that I'm gonna turn into pumpkin lamps in our living room, lil Nate would love that for sure. I even forgot to buy some halloween icing decorations for cookies! hmm... and we went around to look for costumes, still a bit early for costume hunting, we couldn't see a perfect size for Nate since he would love to be Buzz lightyear. although he doesn't know if he wanted to be buzz lightyear, venom or batman... kids hehee.

What's on my to do list:

1. clean bathroom.
2. finish some online stuff.
3. invite Nate's friend for I'll be making halloween cookies.
4. organize our clothes and other storages.
5. exercise (lol) if this is still possible with my time =(.

I'm looking for link exchanges for this and my other blogs please leave a tag if you're interested, thank youuuuuu!!! hope all is well with you, guys.. God bless and thank you for my new visitors who took the time to comment, bless you!

the best


I'm talking about my mineral powder. Eversince High school I've used different kinds of pressed powders and all those worked very little for me. And yes, I can't forget foundations, I was a foundation buff but little did I know that it's starting to irritate my skin, and it leaves your face with a cake like appearance, eww nasty. I don't like expensive make up either, there's just something with designer make ups, believe me I've tried and it's not skin friendly, for me that is.

Physician's formula is the one I'm currently using, it's the best Mineral face powder I've purchased in my entire life. I tried Neutrogena but it fades away so easily compared to the other one. mineral make up is such a hit today, it's good for your skin and it lasts longer, it feels so natural you feel like you're not wearing anything at all. If you haven't switched to mineral wear yet, I suggest you toss those incredibly harsh cosmetics now.

In other news, I finally revived my other blog, I'm still renovating it, so please let me know if you want to exchange links with me over there, I'd be sure happy to link you!

have a nice wonderful day, everyone!

pretty nails



While cleaning our storage I found that cherry blossom designed nails I bought a few years ago, (gasp) I thought I got rid of it already.. I guess not. I just had to try it on for the last time.



I've never used it, not even once until this time I decided to try it on. since I move my hands a lot at work it'll be useless coz it will just break, chip and whatnot. how I love to have gorgeous nails like this all the time, but my nails are very hard to work with, when they get long they break easily, they're very soft so it's not very good to have long nails. back in High school me and my friends would paint our nails together before going out at night for a get together with the rest of the group. the only design I really like is the simple one, like the french tip nails. my mom always tells me to rub garlic on my nails to harden it a bit, or tap your nails on a hard surface like wood to strengthen it. it works though. the only problem why I stopped growing my nails is because of my son. I usually scratch him by accident, I'm also scared that I might sometimes poke his eyes (I poke my eyes all the time) even with hubby, too he was so irritated of me having long nails, so I decided to cut it. Now I'm carefree again. maybe someday when my kids are big I can finally grow my nails again. so I gave the nails to my mom, she really loved it I doubt she's going to use it.

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!!

miracles (part1)


I just watched The Invisible last night, didn't really get to watch this at the dollar movie a few months ago. anyways, It's a pretty sad story. I enjoyed it, of course. What I loved about the movie when Nick as a ghost started to fall in love with the rebellious Annie Newton. She did a lot of things to Nick yet Nick didn't give up on her. He stood by her until the last minute. and what's really interesting about the story was when Annie cuddled besides Nick's unconscious body at the Hospital they finally met, he came back into his body and Annie was ready to depart her body. aww, that made me cry a little... (emotional me) =D me and my mom were talking about the Invisible then all of a sudden I asked her if she remembered the day I was hospitalized that I had at least 12 hours to live, I was very dehydrated my fingers started to go black, some of you know that story I posted a few months back. I also remembered this lil kitten I had, among all the batch of kittens that I had that lil one was the sweetest, tamest kitty of all. When I got sick the lil kitten became sick, too... my mom took me to the clinic, but then I couldn't walk further no more so she dragged me to the nearest hospital at Afable hospital the street where my hubby lives, It was a private hospital so we did pay a lot for it after. The doctor gasped in disbelief and informed my mom I came just in the nick of time, I only had 12 hours more to live... for about 3 days in the Hospital I finally got discharged, when I came home I was looking for my lil kitten, then our family helper at home told me that the kitten was so skinny and sick she died 3 days ago.. then she said to my mom the kitten saved my life, my eyes grew wattery coz I loved that kitten very much and I didn't even get to say goodbye to her, I mourned for a quite a long time. It's hard to believe, I know... It was probably God's plan to take the kitten instead of me, this is like a second life for me, I guess God has his own plans for me, he didn't let me go coz I still have a lot ahead of me...

And my mom also shared a story just like mine, It was totally different though.. I was a toddler back then when a family friend was pregnant, just days before she had gone into labor her favorite cat whom she dearly loved died, and she kept on telling her husband to bury the cat because ants and all kinds of bugs where feasting on the corpse for days. a few days later, she went into labor and after giving birth to her 3rd child, she died. but what's really weird about it is when she died they saw the cat brought back to life, healthy and all. The cat stood under the coffin at the funeral and didn't leave at all. everyone was horrified, couldn't believe their eyes. weird huh? It's hard to believe but I know things like these occur in our lives. Things like these happen to let people know there really is a God, we can't hear or see him but he wants us to know that he is here with us.

I gotta go to work now. see ya all later!

SCRAP ADDICT SUNDAY (flower/grden)

I was off today, before I went to do my usual stuff I spent the whole day cleaning our storage, and I tell ya it was diiiiiirttyyyyy! ugh. not that dirty, but there was quite a few dust balls here and there. I cleaned it up real good. and I am proud of myself. heck, I was surprised to see all the receipts I had since 2005.. oh waitaminute 2004. bummer, I had to look at each one, so I wouldn't miss something, coz I might just toss a very important paperwork, or perhaps a piece of document that has your own sss on it, a no no for me.
So as I was cleaning the bags, tossing around a lot of junk that I don't need, I find my pregnancy prenatal pills and all our other miscellanious prescriptions, (gasp) I couldn't believe I still had 'em. what a nightmare this is I thought. how could I miss all these? I guess when we were moving out from our apartment back in the 7th floor I didn't bother throwing out the junk we still had. So I vowed from now on, I'll keep tabs on everything to avoid clutter.
It was so funny, as I was rummaging through our old stuff, looking at all the things we had when we first started just brought back memories. good memories. I was reminiscing through each item I held, It was such a good feeling. I even saw the very first anniversary gift I gave my hubby back in 2003.


The very first gift I gave Jon. While he was sleeping I always went into his room and concentrated on finishing my home made book, consisted of pages sewn together and some couple of art papers for the design of the book. simple, yet clean. inside were handwritten messages, text messages I got from him eversince we started dating, until we got married. It was sweet, he went home one day and just hugged me tight and said thank you, he cried too... the very first page is the one below.

Small things can make people happy. and it's things like these that makes our love grow strong and tight. I always see myself growing old with hubby. You think we're always that sweet and all that, but you're wrong.. we do have some moments that can be pretty stressful, but most times we're sweet. I thank God for each and every day we're together.
I have more pictures to show you, but I guess I'll upload them in my multiply a lil later after this. It was just so funny coz I saw all my bags, my old clothes, my old shoes, my baby stuff, some pictures, my work schedules (that had to be thrown out) etc. It's so nice taking a walk down memory lane, so how about you... when's the last time you cleaned your closet?

Sunday special


just finished watching it last night, and I'm telling you It was sooooo hilarious! Adam Sandler and Kevin James are one of the best comedians on my list eversince I was very young. Yeah, but of course the movie is definitely not for kids! We regret bringing Nathan with us, we should at least paid 2 tickets for another movie, his uncle would at least brought him. but oh well, we did talk to him though and he wasn't allowed to watch any scenes that aren't kiddie friendly (lol)
We shopped at Sam's club yesterday, holy cow We bought a lot and in bulk, too so our cupboards are really happy now, we have a huge container of cheeze balls, It was sooooo darn big!! I wante to take some pictures but the battery of my camera died on me, so much for that. My hubby loves the kitchen full. the refrigerator, as well as our cupboards, he says it makes him happy that way when a home is full of food it gives him comfort, so that goes the same with our figures (lol) anyways, as long as we're eating healthy and we're happy I'm all for it.
I wanted to scrap so bad today but lil Nathan was using the laptop playing with his disney programs that his auntie from Korea just sent him, he's so cute clicking on the mouse while I was in the bed watching tv. but around 30 minutes later he went to bed and told me that the laptop is all mine now (thank you!) We received a package from my SIL from Korea, she sent their XBOX360 to us so we can send it for repairs, along came with it was Masc's (nephew) Steeler jerseys, a top for my mom, a coach wallet for me (not the real thing, though I don't care =P) and some Disney programs for the little one.
I need to go to bed now, I'll share some videos and pics tomorrow. Good night everyone! love you alll.. thank you for all the visits!

Disturbia + other stuff


I finally watched Disturbia the other night, the darn dvd they gave me at blockbuster was just full of scratches, I was just so pissed at the time I started watching it around 1:30 am, I know (I should be sleeping, right?) can't help it since I am totally a night owl! so, after reading Harry Potter I decided to watch it anyway.. I just hate it when it stops.. then plays again.. stop.. play.. stop.. darn it. yeah, I enjoyed the movie I love Shia LaBeouf's (the IT boy) acting. Eversince his Even Stevens days, I knew he really has that talent right there. I read at a Vanity Fair magazine that he's the next Tom Hanks =). wow. and I surely can't wait for Indiana Jones to come out! weeee! today we went out and ordered Nathan's birthday cake, a spiderman design. I just hope they make it good coz the price.. wheeeeew... is really off the roof right there. I don't even know what it looks like either. Nathan's birthday is on the 20th (that's monday) the lil one's soooo excited. my lil boy is turning 4, awww...

things about me...


got tagged by the lovely Darlene

1. I love cleaning the house around 12 am. I think One time I was still up at 2:00 am cleaning the bathroom. my hubby just rolled his eyes. I know, weird isnt it?
2. I love the rain very much,when it rains I am very active at work and at home, I just have this positive energy to work, work, and work. and If I am bored I will dig up a lot of things to do at home perhaps clean the house or mess around my closets and sort out the junks we have. =P
3. I love someone and miss it very much. It's my hotdog pillow. it's still back in the Philippines, when I was born according to my mom I would always sleep next to it. my lola (grandmother) would always sew the seams whenever it ripped and replaced the cloth, she had to put the original hotdog pillow filling inside until it grew thicker. I couldn't sleep without it, whenever I am away from it I couldn't sleep well. whenever I'm sick I would just put my pillow in front of my face and my nose and my sickness will go away. I remember my dad was so sick of it he already had trashed it! my mom saved it anyways and had to wash it again. The cloth was full of stains from chocolate and milk over the years. up to now I still miss it. they promised me they wouldn't throw it away since it's my age, well maybe more older than me, It was sure my security blanket =P. When it comes back to me I'll take a picture of it.
4. my creative juices can only work at night, I don't know why. during the day time when I have time sometimes to do what I want to do... that's when I get lazy! but when nighttime strikes I am just dying to do what I have planned. any explanation for that? I just love working at night. even at work, I love night shifts, too.
5. I love the beach very much. It takes away the tensions and helps me relax a lot. at our window during early in the morning and late at night I open the window and breathe the fresh air coming from the ocean. We can see the ocean in our window, eventhough it's miles away from our home the sea breeze just comes in like that.
6. When I am doing something like scrapbooking, pixelling or drawing.. I tend to push my tongue out, hmm.. no clue why it's like that, but anyways I feel contented hanging it out for a lil while. weird huh? hahahaa..

I tag everyone who wants to do this. =P
