More Reasons to Be Grateful
2008-03-28 15:16:00
Well, I have another blog that talks about the blessings that I have received. I haven't been their lately. Anyway, I am glad that Pinay Jade invited to me to participate on blogging things that you are grateful with. So, here are the things that I am really grateful about.I am really grateful that I am still alive. God has really kept my insanity intact. Hehehehe... After all the problems I have encountered and still encountering, I am still happy that I am alive. Though there are many times I really wanted to call it quits but God have always found a way to talk inside my heart and give me more reasons to live for Him.Every time I am in my utmost depression, I always think about my children. The thought of them making every hardship worth fighting for. "When I See You Smile, I Can Face The World," quote from my favorite theme song for my children. The song was sang by Bad English - When I See You Smile. Indeed, when I see them smile at me, I felt that everything will be alright. ...

Pinay Mommy - The Chief
2008-03-26 20:05:00
I was asked by my new blogger friend KCEE to take this personality test. Since I was already a member of this site, I opted to take it right away. It was really funny that my results suggested that I have a similar personality with Bill Gates (business tycoon), Franklin D. Roosevelt and Richard Nixon (both are American Presidents), Margaret Thatcher(British Prime Minister), Jim Carrey and Whoopi Goldberg (both comedians).I guess my personality will lead me to become a little bit of a business woman, a president and a comedian as well. LOL!!About the ENTJ Expert Quotes"ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments."- Portrait of an ENTJ (The Perso...

A Place I Would Love to Go
2008-03-26 06:39:00
I haven't been outside the Philippines though I have been all over it, from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.Well, just like everybody else, I would like to visit some place aside my country. Not that I wanted to leave Philippines for good but I wanted to see different places, may it be for a vacation or work. Anyway, one of the places I would like to step my feet on are from those of Branson real estate. They have a lot of things in stored for the family. They have nice theme parks, water parks, mini-golf, go-carts, museums and much, much more. The one that really attracted me is the Silver Dollar City. It has a very amazing roller coaster and other fun things to do that I would like me and my family to try. At Branson estate, they also have a log cabin for rent for your family to rest which is very exciting.IMAGE COURTESY OF THOUSANDHILLS.COM.

Digital Scrapbooking
2008-03-25 19:16:00
Aside from blogging, I have found another way to enjoy my blogging buddy. I am into digital scrapbooking. Well, I am not very good at it yet but it is a good way of expressing your creativity. Scrapbooking offline is sometimes very expensive especially here in the Philippines but if you do digital scrapbooking - you can start immediately for free!As I started to try doing some craft, I was using PhotoShop CS and downloaded graphics and digital scrapbooking items from Shabby Princess. My first creations can be found in my other blog at "Pinay Mommy's DigiScrap." Just the other day, I downloaded a FREE digital scrapbooking software from Scrapbook Flair. After that, I began liking it again. So, I spend almost an hour downloading backgrounds, patterns, templates and embellishments.I am planning to make more and try to be more creative. My digiscrap creations right now are all simple and very amateur. Maybe someday, I will learn more on this. Just like blogging, it's quite addicting.

And There Was Light
2008-03-25 12:51:00
It's about time that I should write again about my dream house. In my last posts, I have been talking about windows, wooden furniture, and kitchen fixtures and so on.Now, I wanted to talk about light fixtures. It is vitally important that the proper lighting of the house be planned. We don't want to waste electricity on extravagant display of light fixtures or having a lot of beautiful chandeliers but of no use. So, I was imagining that my home would have a moderate lighting - balance in all rooms but I will not allow beauty to be compromised. You see, you just need to be patient in finding beautiful light fixtures at reasonable cost. In my surfing, I was able to see stunning light fixtures and guess what, they are very affordable.Little by little, my dream home is slowly forming in my mind. Someday, this will come to pass.IMAGE COURTESY OF LIGHTINGSHOWPLACE.COM.

My Blog's Template-Lift
2008-03-25 09:22:00
I am not yet finished with my blog's make-over but I would say it is such an accomplishment for me to start on it. Cause you see, sometimes we have many plans in mind but we have a hard timing starting on it. I am just glad I have started on this make-over and I am planning to end it as beautiful as it can be. Most importantly, it will represent who I am in some way or another. I really wanted to have a blog that is a self-expression of me.

Everything Online
2008-03-19 21:04:00
It really makes me feel so relaxed that almost everything is now online. You can find books, toys, t-shirts, oral supplements, and all others online. You can practically shop without ever leaving your home. Even banks are now online. Everything is much easier and much faster than about 10 years ago even in a Philippine setting.Just recently, I was amazed that even automobiles, jet ski, motorcycles, snow mobiles and other transportation vehicles of all sorts are already sold online! You can get quotes and even financial assistance online. And guess what, I even discovered that you can get auto insurance online! You can shop for the best auto insurance online.Now, you can get almost everything right at your doorstep. Before, I thought life insurances were the only ones offered online but now...almost everything!

Medicare Supplement
2008-03-19 17:48:00
When I was hospitalized several months ago, I was glad I had Medicare but as expected, I have paid the remaining hospital bills which were usually more than what they have taken cared of. So, I was able to get more out from my own pocket.Back then, I wondered if they had a medicare supplement so that when emergency time comes again, I will pay lesser. And about a few months later while I was surfing, I came to check on an American company that I appreciate very much. They offer mature men and women a medicare supplement to help lessen the bills in time of hospitalization. I read their benefits and I should say that it is a really good deal. How I wished we had one here in the Philippines and then it would be easier for me too.

P.U.S.H.
2008-03-19 04:32:00
Every now and then, I really felt that I should give up all things together. I lost my interest in blogging and even in surfing for few days already. I am so soaked-up with my pains and hurts that it took away the things I used to love. Even how I talk to my children, I became more hot-headed when they make mistakes. Before, they wouldn't be scared when I am angry because I only talk about spanking them but now, when I say I will spank, I do spank. Well, I know I should be disciplining them in their mistakes but sometimes I felt that it's not me when I get angry at them.Lately, I was profile hopping at Friendster just to add my old classmates and few of my blogger friends. When I was looking for the right comment graphics, I came across this graphic below while surfing. It really hit me that I realized that "PRAYER" was the only answer all along. I don't need to give-up because Jesus didn't gave-up on me but all I have to do is pray until all things get better. It's not that ea...

Learning the Craft of Fashion Designing
2008-03-19 01:15:00
In this world where fashion is always regarded as the universal "in" thing, many people have engaged themselves to become fashion models. Here in the Philippines, young people join contests with prizes at stake are becoming contract models. But some people, wanted to be involved in the world of fashion in a different way. Some wanted to become a fashion designer.This vocation looks simple but many people really go to the extent of studying this craft. Most people who wanted to harness this craft goes to fashion schools in Los Angeles. Since Hollywood has great influence in the designs because of the fashion trends showcased in films. Most fashion schools in California does not only cater fashion designing but also fashion merchandising.If your looking for the latest trends in making your fashion designs work, I think the best place to start doing this is finding your right fashion schools in California. I think aside from other fashion districts, California has a great say in fashio...

I took a quick test at Tickle.Com just to perk-up myself from all bad vibes that has been going on my life. So, I took this one. The Love or Money Test My Result: Hopeless RomanticFor richer? For poorer? It doesn't matter to you because you're the Hopeless Romantic. Whether your sweetie is an oil baron or a grease monkey, it's all about until death do us part.Even if you haven't met "the one," you'll judge your soul mate by the love letters, roses, and foot massages ? not the size of their bankroll. And even if their wallet is as fat as their sonnet collection, the toughest part of your relationship will be arguing over which charity to choose, who loves whom more, and who's the bigger Schmoopie. And if that diamond ring turns brass, no biggie ? your love is totally not-for-profit.What are you?http://web.tickle.com/jumpto?test=lov eormoneyogt&c=50652

A Week Gone Bitter

Many were wondering why I didn't have a new post. For my regular readers and visitors, they already knew that almost everyday and almost 24 hours I am online. So, they noticed that there is something wrong. Well, I just had a very extraordinary week.Last week, I had a blast. We went to the mall almost everyday to find a costume for my husband's Elvis Presley Contest. We bought toys and my wide screen monitor (I will post this later). But when this week came, it went so sad :( that it made me cried again :c . On Monday evening, my husband went out to look for a polo. He didn't came home that night rather around 6:00 in the morning. He didn't talked to me or even cared to explain. On Tuesday night, he didn't came home from work but he did around 5:30am on the next day (Wednesday). Though it really did hurt me :( but I tried to be civil as possible. When he talks, I talk. When he asks a question, I reply. Well, we talked about it but in a very shallow manner. I don't want to have...

A Branded Father's Day Gift
2008-03-11 13:15:00
When it comes to quality, you can not deny that buying branded items are more advantageous because it will last for a long time rather than non-branded one. Of course when we talk about branded items we also talk about a branded price! But guess what, I have discovered away to buy branded items at affordable prices. How? Buy pre-owned items which are still in good quality condition.When I was surfing for a branded watch for the upcoming Father?s Day, I saw a pre-owned Patek annual calendar. They have plenty of designs available and in good quality. The price is much lower in thousands not just hundreds. I am looking for a much affordable design. Maybe my father would be happy if he gets a branded one. I am sure he wouldn?t mind even it is pre-owned.
