Sweets anyone?

See this and this and this! and you'll know... :)

wireless

As you read from my previous posts, one of my wish list before the year ends is to have my own Linksys router. Why Linksys? because there are a lot of recommendations from friends who are using this brand, they say that it is really worth every cent spent on the item. Plus, I remember that this is also the brand we are using on my previous company for the laptop units of the employees, and not a single rant was heard from them regarding the signal and the connection of their internet. The husband told me that he would get me one, soon, that is why I am asking him to accompany me to the mall to canvass for the right model that I would need here. I can feel that it would not take too long for me to go wireless baby! :)Here is one of the sample model I snagged from the official website, will let you know if this one would be my soon purchase.

general cleaning saturday

Thank God it's another Friday, well not that I have big plans for the weekend, but the fact that I just love weekends and the family day on a Sunday. Anyways, tomorrow will our cleaning day! General Cleaning it is, no reason for the husband to refuse. I set our bonding time on a Saturday to make sure that he is with me to help out, now that's wise move right? :) anyways, I called my mom a while ago and asked her to get me some used cardboard boxes from the mini grocery near her house so I can picked it all up later this afternoon. I need those boxes for some unused stuffs here and be placed in our storage room. Which also reminds me to let go of clothes that we are not using anymore, probably be given out to our relatives in the province. I just got to finish my work here and will start segregating clothes and other stuffs to send out.

today that was

It's past midnight and yes, I am still up and blogging! Because I wasn't to finish all my online stuff earlier thats why I am now almost cramming! The reason behind all this? Sudden call for grocery shopping. This morning when the husband wakes up, he headed straight to the cupboard and found an almost emptied shelves! He then rushes to the sleeping mother slash wife, yup! that's me! :) and told me that we need to stock up on supplies, today. Wow, excited?! lol... anyways, so we geared up and went to the mall's supermarket, good thing it is a Monday thus making the lanes not so busy. After we were done with the cashier, another clerk approaches us and told us to claim our prize for their product promotion, and guess what we got? some good promotional pens! It was alright, at least we got something out of the thousand bucks we purchased from them. After our grocery moments, we headed home since we don't have any plans for any malling, and by doing so would mean one thing, additional expenses! we need to avoid that, frugal living is a must especially this days.

On Rainy Days

something from N@W forum... Rainy Thursday Q's
here it goes...

1. Complete this sentence.
I hate it when it rains because I cannot wear pants when going out for it well surely get wet!

2. My number one comfort food during rainy days is: Champorado or Lugaw with tokwa't baboy! oh so yummy!

3. What is the worst typhoon event you can remember (year and/or typhoon name) and why?
For me it was MILENYO... I saw how it damages a lot of properties in our area... tsk,tsk,tsk..

4. Were you allowed to play in the rain when you were a child? What was the experience like? Would you allow your kids to play in the rain?
Most of the time no. My mom only allows me if my neighborhood friends are already playing in the rain, when she sees me so green with envy! then she allows me... for a good fifteen minutes! kill joy! wahahaha

5. Is there something you and hubby love to do together on a rainy day? (c'mon 'fess up.we're all adults here.we could use some R-18 posts once in a while)
We both love rainy days! that is when we can cuddle all day, eat and sleep kind of thing. But when he has to work, I just focus on my handcrafted jewelry making, from glass and plastic beads -this was when I was pregnant. But now that we have a kid in tow, we three cuddled all day.

we hope and dream

Of course every couple has dream, just like others, the husband and I have ours too. Someday we want to have our own sets of assets, the tangible one we most likely to prefer. Anyways, we are hoping to have and own a piece or two of buildings that can be rented for commercial use, and if we also can an apartment houses just like what my parents has too. It is a shoot in a star kind of dream, but everything is possible if you dream big and work hard for it. One day, we hope that we can also have those intricate Property Management Software like from Siterra system that has a collaborative software for planning, site selection, project management, maintenance and lease administration of every assets. This is so nice, its basically taking good care of ones assets.

for him

Dad's day is near and I'm already thinking on what to give to my dear husband. Since he is into hunting and firing thing, maybe I should get him one of those 511 Tactical Shorts that could match his hobbies, something he can wear in his practical shooting sessions, having a lot of pockets and whatnots that can be very useful for him, designed for bulky items and said to be so durable, because you know, firing paraphernalia's are quite heavy. And guess what, it comes with a free hat! ala-kuya Kim of Matanglawin! now thats more like it! lol

lucky year to tie the knot

2008 is the most favored year to get married, actually, there are number of friends who are set to wed this coming June to December, not to mention those that tied the knot during the first quarter. Basically, one of the reason they decided to have it this year is the number 8 in the year that says to bring luck to the couple, plus the fact that they are also in the age that is so ideal to settle down. Anyways, when I was being asked on this and that about their preparations, I actually love the feeling of being able to help and suggest, call it nostalgic or whatever but the idea of being able to contribute in one way or another brightens me up.

As for me, the fun and excitement starts when you are deciding what motif or theme you would want for your wedding. Then the choosing of your invites will follow, be it a 1st Class Wedding Invitations or a do-it-yourself one, it doesn't matter as long as you have what you want. But of course majority still stick to the formal side of things, since wedding is one of those formal events, having paraphernalias that are close to formal is still a hit.

Speaking of invites suggestion I was able to find this very neat made to order invitation site that has so many different invite styles and design to choose from, plus it has this zoom capability for the browser to check the littlest details in every sample. You might want to check it out, visit www.1st-class-wedding-invitations.com and see for yourself.

expired

I was asked to run an errand by my mom then I suddenly realized that I can't drive, because my driver's license just expired last April and I was not able to prioritize that of all things, not I'm doomed, maybe a penalty will be charge for the late renewal or something. Goodness! then I also realize that my passport is also set to expire this coming August! oh my, imagine it doesn't even got to experience an immigration check up or something like that before it expires. I just wish that on my next renewal, I will then get to use that little booklet.

flood in the cr

Woke up this morning with a flooding bathroom! my goodness, we were all puzzled how the thing happened, then the husband saw a leak in one of the faucet pipes. So what we did was turn off for the meantime the main water bulb so the leak will stop. After breakfast the husband went out to buy the bathroom fixtures needed. It was done before noon thus having our bath time delayed for more than two hours or so. But it was all good, the waiting and all because no more leak and flooded bathroom for us!

need treatment

Been surfing the net for some good acne treatment for my cousin, since she is super busy with work and some handful of house chores getting a facial treats is nowhere to put in. By the way, she's living in the States and shes only using different types of over the counter treatments, thats why I suggested that she tries visiting Acne Chicago the leading dermatology clinic in the area specializing in laser acne and other leading skin care treatments.

need blinds

I am now thinking of buying a new set of window blinds for our bedroom. You see, my daughter can't sleep that long in the morning and in her afternoon nap because the room is well lit with the natural light from the outside. So I guess that having blinds will make the room a little darker if we need to, I remember when I was young my mom used to close all the windows and the door of our bedroom so I can sleep. Maybe Olin gets that from me too don't you think so? I wonder how much would it cost us for the blinds that would fit our little bedroom window. Might hit the mall this coming week. Oh my, now the brat is wide awake already with thirty minutes of nap time! so you get my point eh? go to go now...

Miss her

I am so missing my Olin! you see, for two consecutive nights she's been sleeping over at my parents house because I have been so very busy with the mini-cake and cuppies business for Mother's day. And finally, after two sleepless nights every single order is done and was delivered, oh yeah, there are still two mini cakes here left for later delivery. Right now my body is too tired already but my heart instructs me to go and get my daughter. I heard she's having way too much fun with her two cousins right now, her tita texted me and told me that she already had her lunch and now playing/riding her dora beep-beep while watching Wowowee. I'm just waiting for the hubby now to come home from one of his errands and I will ask him to fetch the brat.

Bdw, tomorrow is Mother's day! second hit for me! :) two happy years being a mother! :)
Still got no plans for tomorrow though, but I'm craving for some Japanese, we'll see....

Happy Mother's Day to all mommies out there! Cheers to us!

Lasik

My mom asked me earlier what a Lasik treatment is all about. Actually, I have no idea on how this procedure is being done and how can it actually help a patient when it comes to their vision, but as far as I know, the grandmother of my husband had undergone this type of treatment or surgery or whatever way it was being done. And as now, Grandma's vision has improved and there are also some good effects aside from the vision were given by this Lasik Treatment. I heard that this is being a well favored procedure here in the Pi too, having it started in the US now it has come to create a wave here in our country, and a lot of people are already lined up to take this procedure too, anyways, I will try to research more about this thing, so as not to get left out by the latest technologies and medical procedures.

update update

It's another midweek and I am so facking lazy and tired rolled into one. Mahirap pala talaga maging yaya/help-less noh?! I mean, from squeezing in all the chores in the house plus taking care of an uber kulit na toddler is really dehydrating! no, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining here you know, I'm just making kwento of my daily life after the yaya leaves us. It's just you know nakakamangha lang talaga whenever I start arranging the bedroom in the morning then the clutter in the living room jusmeyo hindi pa ko tapos meron nanamang ligpitin sa kitchen! so mega wash naman ako plus the 'didi' (milk) bottles then sterelize, eto nanaman may kalat nanaman sa may living room, then sa mini play area ni Olin naman, of course yung cr naman after. Imagine not yet done with the lysol moments ko sa cr floor meron nanaman akong next agenda terrace! ay, total workout talaga ang drama ko! hahahahaha!
Now that's the reason why I haven't been able to update my blog as much as I wanted to, kasi may malikot na bata na lagi kong bantay! hehehehe... kaya ayun, di nakasama sa PR up grade ang kawawa kong blog! :(
Anyways, what's up with you guys lately? will try talaga to blog hop later tonight, and finish all the opps that were send by the sheriff :)
Will be very busy this coming weekend at medyo sinwerte, mading order ang KP Creations na mini cakes and cup cakes for Mom's Day... :) will try to upload the sample photos too later :)

Ayibi as in Jollibee!

This red bee mascot is so sikat at patok with the kids noh?! I didn't actually believe it myself before whenever other mommy-friends of mine tells me that their kids are so adik with Jollibee. But now, a total convert. As in, and Olin is my living active proof. Imagine, mas una pa nyang sinabi ang Ayibee kesa sa Nanay! kamusta naman yun?! minsan nga iisipin mo na lang na si Jollibee ang nagpapalaki sa kanya at talaga namang iiwan nya ang lahat para sa happy bee na ito! kalurkei talaga! Isipin mo naman kahit gaanong kaliit na logo/picture ni Jollibee nakikita nya kahit yung mga nasa poste na nakalagay "Jollibee 100 meters away" ay kita nya at magsisigaw na cia ng "Ayibi! Ayibi! Ayibi!"

Ang totoo cute talaga whenever we see Olin so happy with her bestfriend, lahat ng commercial nito lalo na yung 30 years anniversary with the song " mahal tayo ni Jollibee!" ay panalo, talagang mega dance number ang render ni Olin at sigaw at irit! funny talaga!
Kaya hanggat kaya, ang tatay naman mega-drive thru ang drama para bumili ng isang regular fries para sa kanyang unica hija! at ang saya naman siyang sasalubungin dahil may bitbit siyang plastic ng red bee... eh minsan umuwi si husband ng walang dala, ayun mega walk out ang drama ng bulinggit ko, as in deadma sa tatay nya! walang Jollibee equals deadma ka! matinde!

The above photos were taken a few hours after namin ihatid si papa ko sa airport, dinaan namin ang mga chikiting sa Jollibee Noveleta kasi maganda at bago ang play area dun, sakto naman at merong may birthday party kaya mega-appearance ang lolo bee nyo, kaya ayun bago cia mag-dudu-mance sa party eh pa-picture galore muna kame!
At ciempre wallpaper ng laptop ko ngayon ang group pic kasi ito lang ang pang-patigil sa malikot na si Olin! lol

chemise

Now let me tell you a secret, when I was in High School and College I never ever wear a chemise under my school uniform even if it is required for the female students, the reason? because I find it too hot! wearing long sleeved blouse with an under garment is a torture don't you think? but if those chemise would like the one in the picture I might! you see how cute and sexy it is? but I'm sure it wouldn't look nice with an all white school uniform, but it might work as a lingerie. I hope to find one like this on the local stores, now that I'm wanting to have one sexy night piece.

what the?!

Been watching the late night news program and I learned that the electric company will also be marking up their prices this coming May. Aren't we having enough? Rice, Gas and common commodities had gone increased the price and now our electric billings will raise up too. This is so much for the common people! The Government must have an up to date and more techy budget software so they can really study the situation right now, the burden of this crisis is being carried for so long by the average level of people and it is a tiring state. I myself being a housewife who handles the budgeting can't even imagine how to spend wisely every cents and pesos the husbands hands over to me, sometimes we can't help but call it short and has to adjust a little bit more in order to accommodate the things we need to prioritize. The situation can really make your mind tweak.
