Goodbye Insomnia
2008-01-08 07:12:00 I have some close friends (also my readers) who suffer insomnia badly. I know being cured from insomnia and sleep normally has been in their new year resolution list every year but getting an insomnia cure is not as easy as uttering a commitment! They tried to go to bed earlier, but still not manage to sleep at all.I find this http://www.sleep-deprivation-cd.com/ by browsing today and the site guarantee that they can help my friends to sleep naturally, really cure the insomnia and stop sleep deprivation, using "binaural beats." Binaural beat is a certain frequency to make a state of relaxed awareness in our mind. You better to visit the site to find out more explanation. More About: Goodbye , Insomnia

Update fresh from my bedroom.
2008-01-07 11:33:00 I read your kind comments from this handphone. Thank you so much for the encouragements. I do feel so low and sad. Right after I sent my previous post my maid told me that she wants to quit. She will be purposed and her fiancee to be wants her to work nearby. I find it too exagerated. My house is not far at all from his, 15 minutes by any vechicles. But I wont argue, just choose to react like Job, 'the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?'I have to search new helpers and start all over again. For those who have no maids this rambling is too much I am sure. Hehe. But frankly speaking, I feel terrible, do I sound like complaining? Hehe. Sorry!Cliff's fever has not been better though I gave him paracetamol. Hope it is not dengue but I have decided to forget Lee Hom's concert. I lost my normal cheerful days I found my maid is thoughtful enough not leaving me suddenly. I still have time...

Lost Passwords Please Come Back
2008-01-07 09:03:00 I think most of bloggers need to register to many things to add widgets and applications on our blogs... that happens to me too, and I really have trouble to remember all passwords required to log in to get the access!Besides online passwords, I also have to remember some passwords I made for my document files in my computer! This one is even harder as we can't get any help as we can get online. In fact, documents locked by passwords are absolutely important and now I can't open my files. Does it happen to you too? Well then, the help is coming! I visit http://www.password-studio.com and find out that Excel password recovery is now available to hack the passwords instantly! Just make sure you hide this program in your computer and don't show any shortcut on your desktop or your children or worker will be able to hack your files easily as well... hahaha... good luck, happy hacking!

2008-01-02 10:46:00 (don't forget to scroll down to read my New Year Celebration and grab you awards!)To be honest, I am upset. The new maid who came at 31 Dec said she will leave us tomorrow.. stay only 3 days here! What for? a picnic?Anyway, I knew she won't stay long here but still feel bothered because my kids love to have new accompany... they are all so excited to welcome her and I just don't want them to be disappointed. Well, I think I myself have to do introspection... my kids needs me, not the maid.. hehehe.. I learn from this situation that they want somebody that can play with them... frankly speaking I don't like to play.. but I will try it! I will sit and talk and play with them more then, as I wrote in my new year resolution yesterday. Clay wants to stay at my sister's house with my mom, so today I will send him to have 'vacation' there... and I will bring Cliff and maid to spend a night over there tomorrow too as my hubby will be out of town tomorrow.

Go on diet for 2008 resolution?
2008-01-02 04:05:00 May be diet and loose some weight is one of your new year resolutions... many people long for loosing their weight, and it is tough indeed! I loose my appetite to loose my weight already... hahaha... just protect myself from being pregnant again, do many activities around the house (pretty good when we have no maid hahaha) and take less food at meals...To have a succesful diet, I think we need a diet plan. Yeah... may be we are sick of diet plan because we can't fulfill it... diet can be hard and tormenting ourselves for most of people! I am amazed to those who can be so strict and successful in following a low carbohydrate/calorie diet. If you experience all those things, me too... and of course we are not alone...

After going through this life with only one maid, I got another one yesterday.. heheheh.. tired of not looking for another maid eagerly,I just keep going all this time, just waiting the right time God sends me a new maid for us. We believe that God always provides our needs in the right time.. the kids are so happy to have new maid hahahaha.. they love to talk and tell her some stories excitedly. To be honest, I don't even hope she will stay last longer as she only works for several months in other houses before... It's so tiring to teach and adapt with a new person in our house actually, but if it will bring better atmosphere in this house, I absolutely don't mind.

spare the rod tag
2007-12-29 11:58:00 Jo-N asked me to share my parenting style, whether or not I spare the rod to discipline my children. When I only have 1 son Clay, for 5 years, I think it is easier for me to teach Clay something. After Cliff was born, I have to use different approach to my children, especially Clay.I agree with Jo-N, every child is different... I can talk with Clay and he will understand and obey me. I can count him one.... two.... three... and he will hurriedly do what I told him to do. But Cliff, I don't know if I can do the same to him. I am not sure whether he is too small to understand or he is as tough as a cliff.. hehehe.. he doesn't scare being warned at all... LOL.I used to 'use the rod', just as a warning to Clay, but then Clay do the same thing to his brother and our maid as well... *doh* then I stop using that 'method' and learn so hard to talk softly and wisely!

Hubby just called and told me that he wanted to buy one watch for Cliff as well, but I said no... Cliff doesn't need watch and I think he doesn't care if he has a watch or not... nor he be proud as well wearing a watch just like his brother... so I think it's not the right time to buy a watch for Cliff.

A letter at Christmas.
2007-12-23 17:54:00 Dearest friend,My birthday is coming near; it feels so great to find out that at least once a year, there are so many people remember Me. Beautiful ornaments and glamorous decorations sparkle in almost everywhere to celebrate My birthday.At first, it seemed that the people knew and thanked me for what I have done for them. However, lately most of them don’t understand why they celebrate My birthday… Friends and family are gathered without knowing the true meaning of the celebration. Moreover, they often hold a fantastic celebration full of delicious food and enchanting decorations, with beautiful gifts stacked at the corner, but they forget to invite Me! They don’t send me the invitation at all…The party IS for Me indeed, but when the big day comes, they leave Me alone, they shut their door in front of My very eyes. Therefore, I decide to enter the room silently… I stood at the corner of the party. They all have a great feast happily; laughter and joy fill the room blissfu... More About: Christmas , Letter

I doubt if he can do it as he will have to take care of Cliff as well (we'll bring our maid by the way).
