Going Away

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 19:44:03 +0000

My friend Ofelia will be visiting her family in the Philippines I think a month from now. I have to admit I am a little jealous because it’s been 4 years since I went and it wasn’t a vacation either it was more about business and getting my son to come with us. I don’t know when we’ll be going back to visit because it will take us a while to save some $$ for airline tickets, hotel fees and other expenses. Plus, I have to save some more $$ for gifts like a box of arturo fuente cigars for my Tito Boy and my dad. A pair of running shoes for my brother, a perfume for my sister in law and of course something for their baby too. See? it is very expensive to visit my family back home but anyway, we will try to save some money and to go on a real vacation next time!

Been a while

I have been busy since the kids just started going back to school and I was able to sub in different schools for the past week. I am glad that it is weekend and I am able to do my chores because they are long overdue and it is needed to be done. My only complaint for today is that my throat is hurting and it would be nice if it will start to feel better. I told my kids to never drink after me coz I don’t want them to be sick. I am somewhat thankful that we have bottled waters so they have their individual bottles to drink but I would feel better if we just purchase a water filter instead of buying bottled water which can get very expensive in a long run!

Oh today men and the kids went to Sears Portrait and have their pictures done! My son Shaun got a free 10×8 portrait last weekend and I ended up paying a membership that allows us to get free portrait once a week for the whole year! That is a lot of picture taking for the whole year but I thought it was cheap enough and the kids enjoyed taking a pose especially my son Ethan. So I guess we will have a lot of pictures to hang in our wall this year! Anyway, gtg and get my lunch!

Request

My kids sometimes cracked me up. They came to me one day and told me that to let everyone know that they doesn’t want anything silly for Christmas. They only want money to buy them each a new DSi, seriously. They said that they will enjoy toys but it has to be something educational or fun other than that they wouldn’t want anything that they will end up throwing away in a day or two. They also told me that not to say that “whatever Santa gives” preach because they said, they already know that we were the ones who brought them toys with a toy’s store price tag attached on the back of their gifts. I have to admit we messed up but, what can I say? My kids were with 24/7 and it’s hard to go shopping and packed without them noticing. Just can’t hide anything from them anymore especially now that they are growing faster than I expected. Sometimes I wish they were babies.

Did something

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 06:27:06 +0000

I was very glad that the weather was nice today. It got very hot for a couple of weeks and it was just not comfortable to be out when the sun is that hot. Today, I cleared the flower bed to make it ready for planting tomorrow. I had a vision on what the flower bed would look like after the planting and hopefully it will look as inviting as what I imagined. While thinking about flowers awhile ago, I thought of the perfect gift that I will send to my aunt who loves gardening. I found a perfect yellow rose planter that I could send through easy birthday gift delivery. I know that she will love the radiant colors of the beautiful planter and she loves gardening so it’s perfect for her especially that she lives in San Diego so it’ll be pretty all year round!. I used to tend my aunt’s garden although not a green thumb but she taught me how to take care of plant and now that i am starting my own, I am going to try my hardest to keep the flower bed full of radiant and beautiful flowers that screams cute curb appeal. (hm, let’s see how long it’ll last!)

S9:Bad Day

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 06:11:03 +0000

While browsing online I stumbled upon this neat site Saturday 9 and I just thought that it would be fun to join so here’s my first entry : Bad Day

1. Is there anything that you tend to do to cheer up when you are having a bad day?
I looked at the dazzling diamonds at wholesale diamonds. Seriously, I watched funny movies, the one that cracks me up the most! (The Hang-over or I hope they served beer in hell)

2.What’s the last card game you played, and with whom did you play?
It’s a card game even though it’s online poker so it was yesterday with some people I don’t know!

3.What’s the last board game you played, and with whom did you play?
Wednesday, my husband , I and our kids played monopoly.

4.What’s the last computer game you played, and with whom did you play?
Today, Maple Story with my son.

5.Is there somewhere you’d like to visit but have not, and where is it?
Florence, Italy!

6.Think of your favorite movie (or a movie you really like, if you can’t think of a favorite). Some people say that the reasons you love your favorite movie are related to what you value in romantic relationships. How is this true or untrue in your case?
It is somewhat true I guess. I am a basket-case when it comes to love conquers all!

7.What physical attributes do you find the most attractive?
Good-looking faces maybe.

8.How many people live in your house? Tell us about them.
5-Me, my loving husband , my 3 kids one 6th grader, one 3rd grader and one kindergartner.

There you have it.. what a fun thing to do!

Bathing

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 05:29:48 +0000

Ever since we got back from vacation my kids had been a fan of bathing! I let them have some fun with the bubbles and jets but I only let them soaked for 30 minutes because prolonged bathing with bubbles can hurt them..well according to what I read and heard. Anyway, this year we are going to be tight when it comes to our budget since we will be needing new AC Unit and a new soffit and fascia.So we need to stop eating out!! We kept saying it but we never applied what we preached but we need to stop it though, we still have our regular monthly bills except for an additional payments for our new car, we have our car insurance, high risk life insurance but the good news is that my car is going to be paid off in 2 more payments so the payments for that will be going to our new car.There’s just too many bills but what can I say huh? Everybody does.. we cannot live without debt and thinking about debts makes me wanna give my self some relaxation to avoid stress. I gotta go give me some aroma therapy bath!

Too Sweet

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 04:59:44 +0000

My kids had been asking me to bake them a cake and I finally made them one a while ago but as much as they like what I baked, I didn’t care for it! I only took one bite and I couldn’t eat my piece coz it’s too sweet for me! I started to think that they only said it’s good coz they don’t want me to feel bad but they eat more than 1 piece so probably they really liked it still… I.. the baker doesn’t care about the cake I baked! I haven’t been eating a lot lately and believed me I am not taking anything like lipozene (even though I wanted to) but I noticed lately that my tastes has changed. Any food that I enjoyed all my life and what I thought was good is no longer desirable to me. I see this as a good thing but a bad thing also! It might help me to chop off excess weight but I don’t like loosing somethings that I like! Plus change… only causes problems!

Julz

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 04:48:11 +0000

It’s officially the middle of July and it is definitely getting hotter..than usual! However, I am glad that we had someone to come and fixed the broken air conditioner but we do need to buy a new unit coz the guy said that ours is leaking Freon. We could have someone fix it for us for $700 but, our unit is pretty old and we are better off in replacing the whole unit. We are waiting for the people we hired to call us about the estimate. Anyway, I have saved 1 exercise bike and tossed the rest of the stuff we didn’t need, I bought an exercise CD that has abs workout routines included. I really need to work out coz I’m 30 and chunky! I know I cannot get back what I looked like when I was 17 but at least I should be looking like 30 not 40!

Not at home

Happy 4th of July everyone! We celebrated our 4th of July yesterday since we are here in TN with my in laws. I have no idea why they couldn’t do it today since most people doesn’t have to work tomorrow but whatever! This vacation has been very busy, fun and yet annoying and devastating!We went to the Zoo, went to the lake and swam but ended up having a tan (more than usual), sun burnt and body ache! I wish I can lay on those comfortable massage tables and have somebody to take the sore away! Anyway, we are supposed to go to my husband’s cousin’s house to swim (?), Tomorrow, we will go to Pigeon Forge to the aquarium and That Black Bear Jamboree and on Tuesday, I guess we are going to call some people and visit and probably will get a pedi with cousin and my daughter! We had been under the weather these days and I just hope that everybody will go back to our 100% before tomorrow or at least before going back home! I know I have been whining about getting out of Nebraska but the truth is… there’s no place like home and NE has been our home since 2002 and I whined about the weather, I hated the place at place but deep inside I couldn’t leave it! every summer i longed for a get-away but when I get it, I am always looking forward to go back home!

guilty

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 06:40:23 +0000

Normally I love my guilty pleasure but now I am thinking twice , after I ate that cheesecake I am getting sick! Seriously it was too sweet and yucky! I love cheesecake but I don’t know what was wrong today. I guess it was my body telling me to stop the sickness and to go on a diet already! Maybe it really was my cue! I’m getting sick just by thinking about that disgusting cheesecake I ate! ugh!

Anyway, moving to some other stuff. My cousin posted her pic that was supposed to be her in 20 years and man oh man it wasn’t a pretty sight! Of course the stuff is not believable because you can tell the face was not suited for 20 years older they just did a lot of distortion but there’s no way 50 years old looked so distorted and I have seen 50 yr. old women and they do not look like hags! Good thing that thing is not real coz if it does, then for those who cannot afford plastic surgery like us will be really screwed and not in a good way! I don’t even think that the best anti wrinkle cream available will help at all or maybe we need millions of those creams. Anyway go to this site to see yourself in 20 yrs. from now.
