We Will Do Some Cleaning Today

We will be going out very soon to clean the new house at least before we move in, I already hired someone to install grills for the window but I am still looking for someone who can make a hole for my aircon. I hope the labor is not that much though because I have some things I needed to buy for the house, just like a bed for Mj, a two burner stove and a TV. I still have to look for an Internet provider for the house, it is either a smart bro or the one that my neighbor has.

I am so excited to move in but I am also nervous and worried, this is my first to live alone from my sister’s although this has my dream before to have our life with our own but I just can’t avoid the feeling of how things will go on with me and the kids. Wish me all the best guys!

Wearing A Smile Again

I once posted here when my eldest daughter was injured by playing so hard at school, her two front teeth were broke and that the Dentist has to observe it for how many months, either she would make an operation through root canal or just fill it in, Mj doesn’t have any idea what root canal is about but she was determined to try it as long as that would fixed her teeth.

But when we arrived at the Dentist and she started to prepare the injection to put an anesthesia on her gums, she reacted against it and just told her Dentist not to dare to do it; she said she would rather have the teeth clean manually than to inject her gums. So since the teeth are still alright to fill in, she did not pursue the root canal or have it jacket instead she cleaned the affected teeth and fill it, now Mj goes back of wearing a happy smile while showing her teeth off.

What's Inside The Box?

Tomorrow morning will be the wedding day of my friend Analyn, I almost forgot all about it yesterday, good thing I always be reminded of my eldest daughter of her Ninang’s grand event.

Today when I sent Mj to her Tutor, I thought to buy a gift for her while my daughter is busy doing her worksheets at Kumon. I went to the nearest mall and picked up a gift that I think the couple would like to have on their first day as husband and wife.

And since I think they are already sleep by now and that they have to wake up early by tomorrow and that they can‘t read this post anymore, I will just reveal what’s inside the box, well it is a Rice Cooker. I hope they will like it, what do you think guys?

She Threw Up

She was still so active this night, she kept on jumping in the bed or making faces around but later she was starting to cough, then she told me she wanted to pooh, I put her in the bowl then that was it, she choked and threw up all she ate at dinner. I put some Efficascent Oil on her tummy but right after I put the oil, she threw up again until sister Irenie came home, she was still throwing up.

I didn't know what have gone wrong with Faith, she threw up 6 times until she only threw up a water, although she is drinking some water to replace what she had released, I was still worried, I have thought to bring her to the hospital, good thing she stopped in a while and fell asleep.

This time she is sleeping on her crib, it is almost 1:00 a.m., but I am still her awake, I keep on looking at her, she is sleeping so sound, praying she would be ok the next day.

It Was So Wet Outside But Still

... I have to go out because I have to talk to Mj's teacher regarding with the plan of celebrating her birthday in their classroom so I could inform the Jollibee in-charge of how many pack lunch should they bring and the program that have to set inside the classroom. I also added a cake, and a loot bags for the kids, I hope Mj will like this little surprised that Mommy set for her.

The rains poured so hard but I still have to go to downtown since I need to exchange Mj's worksheets in Kumon so she had sheets to answer tonight, she still at her tutor now but she would be coming home soon, perhaps when she is done with her dinner she would start answering the worksheets.

I also dropped by to the Immigration office to ask something about the CRBA we really were confused about the Affidavit of Parentage, Physical Presence and Support, the part that was a bit confusing for us is the consular signature requirement, if we could fill up the form without the CO signature yet and go ahead, send the documents in USEM then call them for appointment. But geez when I asked for just assistance about it in the office I went to today would cost me $50.00 and that is about 2,000 pesos or more.

On my way home, it still rain so hard, is it really El Nino or La Nina today? Uhmm, I wonder, I wonder...

I Am Emotionally Tired

Yes, that is how I felt right now, I am emotionally tired of everything, I wanted to cry so hard and let my emotions out of my system so when I am done, I could not feel anything at all but numb. I am tired of thinking and I am tired of planning when you can’t do anything but to wait.

I am just so thankful though that somehow my kids fill up all the loneliness I felt right now, my kids have done a good job of making me so happy. So I guess I needed to be away in the blogging world or any online activities, my kids need me more than any thing. I must focus on them first and let the fate decides what kind of future that is store for us.

PB Weekend # 12 : Baby Christening

On Sunday, I was invited to be a Ninang for my friend newborn son; I brought sister Irenie, yanyan and Mj with me. So early in the morning, I told Mj to take a bath and prepare while I was working my online task.

Right after church, we headed to Mergrande Beach Resort for the venue, we had a big lunch there and the kids had fun with the games and the magician did a good job.

A Greek Tale Continuation

Here's the continuation from the story below....

"Agreed!" cried the suitors, and they eagerly lined up to test their strength.

One after the other struggled to bend the great bow. Then losing patience. each of the gallant nobles threw it down to the ground and strode away.

"Only a giant could bend that bow of iron!" they moaned.
"Perhaps the filthy old beggar would like to test his strength," one mockingly yelled with a sneer.
At that, the beggar rose from his chair and went with halting steps to the head of the hall.
"You old fool!" the suitors howled in derision as the dirty traveler picked up the great bow.

Suddenly an amazing change came over the stranger. The decrepit traveler straightened his band and rose to his full height, and even in a beggar's rags it was impossible not to notice that this weary traveler was every inch a king. Then, without effort, he bent the bow and strung it as everyone in the great hall looked in astonishment. The king had returned!

The suitors were speechless. Then, in sheer panic, they turned and fled for their lives, But the arrows of the king were swift and accurate, and not a one missed its target. There wasn't a suitor who escaped the vengeance of the king that day.

Penelope ran to her hero, who was clothed in rags, and embraced him. Then, with the voice of an angel she said, "I have faithfully kept your kingdom, my noble king!" She tenderly presented him with a soft white linen roll. "I have spent years weaving this gift in hopes of your return. On the day I finished it, I was told to choose a husband." Then, placing a tender kiss upon his soiled cheek, she said, "And I choose you."

=End=

The tale just wanted to served a lesson for us that love is patient and mysterious. Finding one such real love may never be easy but when you search with honesty and the purity of your intention, the real love will show in front of you somehow.

A Greek Tale

I guess some of you know that I am reading the book entitled “When GOD Writes Your Love Story” One of the clippings there, is a story of the queen who is deeply devoted with her husband that despite of the people in the palace told her that the king died in the battle, she still waited and believe that he was still alive. Let me not spoil you here, just read the story below.

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful queen named Penelope who was carefully weaving a white linen roll. It was to be a gift for her husband whose return she anxiously awaited each day. For years the king had been away in the Trojan War. Each and every day she would say his named over and over again, somehow hoping he would hear the cry of her aching heart.

One day many great chiefs and princes, all in search of wives, set sail for Ithaca to try to win Penelope’s hand. They assured the lonely queen that her husband, the king, had died in battle and it would be best for the people of Ithaca and for her own protection that she pick one of them to be her new husband.

But Penelope, with tears in her royal eyes answered, “Heroes and most honored Princes, I refuse to believe what you say. I am certain that my noble husband lives, and I must faithfully keep his kingdom for him till he returns. I am weaving a white linen roll for him even now.”

The chiefs and princes stubbornly refused o return home and daily reminded her of her need and of Ithaca's need for a king.

Weeks passed by, and still Penelope did not bend, but continued to faithfully weave her linen roll in hopes of the king's return. The chiefs and princes tried every possible persuasion, but to no avail. The group of hopeful suitors moved into the palace, drinking the royal wine and consuming the royal food. They refused to depart until Penelope chose one of them to marry.

A weary and reluctant Penelope finally agreed to choose a new husband as soon as she finished weaving her white linen roll, if the king had not returned by then. Weeks passed, and still she kept weaving. However, by night she would secretly unravel all the thread she had woven during the day. Eventually her scheme was discovered.

A leader among them, Agelaus called the assembly together and addressed Penelope in a loud voice.

"Queen Penelope," he fumed angrily, "your stubbornness has left us no choice but to take this matter into our own hands. We have seen your trickery in delaying the completion of your cursed linen roll, and we will stand for it no longer. Finish it by tomorrow and select your new husband before noon, or we will choose him for you! We will not wait another day!"

The next afternoon all the suitors gathered to await Penelope's royal decision. Just as she entered the banquet hall, a strange beggar quietly crept into the assembly. His tired head was hidden beneath a tattered hood, and a ragged cloak wrapped itself around his decrepit body. He nobbled to the back of the hall quietly, unnoticed save for a few mocking sneers from the suitors he passed. Penelope began to speak, capturing the attention of all present.

"Chiefs and Princes," said Penelope with a knot of grief in her regal throat, "we will leave this decision to fate. Behold, I am holding the great bow of my husband, the king. Each of you must try your strength in bending it, and I will choose the one amongst you who can shoot the most accurate arrow."

Foods Last Holiday Season

Sorry the fruit salad was not in the picture,
it was stored in the fridge

These were our foods last Christmas; actually it was almost the same on New Year’s Eve though we added a 1 kilo of roasted pig. These were the foods that made me huge this time. Well who can’t resist the delicious foods awaited in the table, no one I guess. So who cares about getting excessive fats or being huge after New Year, those foods are only prepared so seldom in fact if there is an occasion at home. Weehhh just thinking of the mouth watery fruit salad, my tummy twisted like its wanted to have a mouthful of it.

Waahhh, I miss Holidays!

20 More

I dreamed of a many opportunities last night and I didn't expect it would become true when I check my other paid site this morning. I thought I was just dreaming I cannot believe with the 20 or maybe more opp in front of me, my screen is bright and my sleepy eyes were bulging out.

I was laughing so hard asking my sister to pinch me if I was still dreaming. Darn it was not a dream and I am so thankful to GOD that I got a lot of opp today, gosh! I have to do it real quick so to meet the deadline. Goodnight folks and may you have more chances today too, so lucky I was and hope you are too!

CC: He Made Me Really Angry

My husband is a good man he is so kind in every way and so soft spoken, but there is one thing about him that makes me really irritated and angry. And that is he keep on delaying his flight, I guess some of you, knows that it’s either it was because of his work or his doctor advised him not to travel yet. Among those delayed flights, one incident, no, I guess there were two incidents that he told me he can’t fly yet because of some reasons and to make it worst he must come on time because there were occasions his presence was needed.

It was during Faith’s baptismal and we were schedule to have an interview but two days before the flight, his boss told him not to travel yet because he needs to attend a certain event. I was really mad that I didn’t talk to him and left him online, I went to the school and stayed there for hours, when I went home it was already 12:00 a.m., his time but he still waited for me although he needs to sleep at 9:00 p.m., because he has to wake up at 4:00 a.m., the next day. When I got back he immediately told me that he booked his flight three days before the schedule baptismal, so when he arrived we have to get to the church right away, without him having time to relax.

The second one was during our wedding, it was like few hours before his flight that there’s an emergency in the office, he needs to reprogram something and it would take him days to reprogram it. So I was like huh? I told him not to talk to me until he would resolve his issue and after I got help from a friend to settle our papers.

Well, I guess I love him that much, the reason why I keep on forgiving him, his shortcomings, I know I have some also but he is just patient enough to understand me. Well, Liz is right, nobody is perfect in this world, even how good the people are, they still have some characteristics that one of you dislike the most.

Anxious To Look For A House To Stay

Last month, when I learned that my friend has transferred and separated a living from her parents, she told me about the good experience of living along with her kids. I envy her because she finally decided and rented a house for them.

While I am still struggling whether to rent or not, actually I really wanted to live separately from my sister and turn over this house to them, but I have so many qualifications for a house I would be renting, first and foremost, it should have an Internet access because I can’t live without it and it should be near at Mj’s school. I already saw one but I don’t think I can get Internet connection of that house since there were many tall trees around for a certain Internet provider and the DSL is not available yet on this area.

It is really hard to look for a house nowadays, I already browse it in the Internet but I can’t find any house that fits of what I want, how I wish I could just hire the Columbus Property Management Company and let them take care of looking for a shelter, my husband is arriving soon, if I could get a place for us, we would be saving a lot of money than staying in a hotel.

She Was So Exhausted

Here's my little monster love bug, exhausted after the movie yesterday. When we arrived home she immediately ask for a milk in a feeding bottle, wish I could train her now to do not use a feeding bottle when she drink her milk because she is turning two years old soon.

I am also having a hard time of training her to pooh in the toilet bowl, I haven't tried the pee training though, when her eldest sister was at her age, she learned those at early age, like she stopped drinking milk in a bottle before she was 1 year old, she can pee at least if its daytime at the comfort room, and she can tell me before she would pooh and or sometimes she would go directly at the CR to pooh.

I think I have to stop Faith wearing a diaper so she would learn where's the proper place to do those things, for feeding bottle geez I have no idea.

PB Weekend # 11: Independent

This is my first entry for this Meme this month, I have been so lazy to join any meme, so I decided to put it behind yet I miss doing this stuff so much.

Anyway, Faith is becoming the independent little one now especially when she eats, she really tried so much to do it alone although we have to watch her close while doing it otherwise she would mess all the foods in the floor.

See, the messy food around her mouth?

Trying now

Ooppss look closely of the two spoon...

Wasted

Yesterday, I was so looking forward that I could pay my obligations, I already planned for my day to come out with so much accomplishments. But I was disappointed when it came out for nothing, though yeah I was able to accomplished one and that was to go to the Kumon to talk to Mj's teacher regarding her performance.

After the Kumon, I went to the agency to get the money that my husband wired for me, I thought I could do all the stuff, first was when I went to the bank to deposit some of the money for my savings, I am so looking ahead I could withdraw it in due time to buy the things I have in mind. Then I went to the insurance company to pay my contributions I didn't expect the line was so queue that even I already ate my lunch right after I got my number, it was still too beyond to have my number called, the number they were calling was 445 to 455 and my number is 85 yet, geez I still have to go to my other insurance for my contributions as well. When it was nearly 3:00 p.m., and my number still hasn't called, I gave out my number to the old woman seated beside me and went outside since I still have to fetch Mj at school to send her to Kumon and I have to meet her carpool so I could pay them but it was already quarter of four and I still not in school, I am still waiting for the Jeepney to be loaded so I decided to take a taxi cab but wait I guess I was really tested yesterday because all the taxi are full, I have to cross to the other street near a hotel so I could get one. I arrived at their school around 5:00 p.m., and the carpool was not there anymore, good thing Mj did not forgot her schedule to the Kumon and did not join the carpool.

So my day yesterday was wasted, none of my bills was paid off, I still have to wait until Monday to pay them. Grrrr!

Fun Time On New Year

After the fun time inside the house, we all went out from the house and have fun with taking pictures, they said that it would be nice to wear something red on New Year's so almost all of us wore red at that time.

Us outside our house

Picture taking with my kids and niece

The Love I Have Chosen

“Even if you get belly and go bald, I am still going to love you because it’s not a love I need to feel but it is a love that I have chosen”

Have you feel insecurities to your partner, let’s say when you meet her hunk ex boyfriend have you ever wishes that you got his stunning biceps or his too toned body built? I guess you might as feel as it seems you don’t deserve her because she deserves a man who got an awesome physical beauty but don’t you know that even you had the most non appealing figure, have you reconsider the thought, that your wife might not need those physical attractions because in you, she already have everything in life?

For sure, many of us wanted to be love like that, like there’s no one else but you, even you line up all the celebrities in the world, even you are in the last line, she still choose you because you have that kind of love that nobody can offer, you have that kind of love she wanted to feel throughout her life.

But you don’t need to be married to be love like that, of course no! Your love life is not supposed to kick in until you found someone special, sad to say but it is not the way you think it to be because even now you already have one and that is when you meet the Great lover of your soul is the very moment you found your one true love. Who Am I am referring to? Well, no other than Jesus, put him in the center of your life and everything else will follow and that includes the man, who may not be perfect but the one whom GOD prepares for you

How To Cope With Jealousy

Let’s admit it that when a baby was born in your family, the father get jealous, especially when it’s his first time to experience to have one, of course you don’t like the feeling and wanted to overcome the feeling immediately, well you don’t have to worry because this is but normal, although this is a serious issue toward your relationship to the baby and to your wife.

I have read an article regarding this matter and I came up with these steps:

• Talk to your wife about it, you should tell your feelings as honestly as possible, you should speak out regarding how you feel out in the open.

It is not easy though, you might get worried of how your partner would react to the situation. She might think you are just so sensitive and that she would just ignore it, after all you supposed to be supportive right?

Anyhow, to bury your jealousy won’t help as well, it might ruin with your relationship to your new born baby and the worst would be a marriage break up. It would also lead to resentment, to experience your fatherhood.

• You might as well talk to your friends who has kids, and asked them how they were able to cope up with it, they might be able to help you with your feelings and will give you some factors to established yourself with the baby, it surely get better when you would give yourself a chance to get to know your baby by playing with him or changing his diaper and all that.
• Go out in a date with your wife and a walk or so, you might as well bond with your baby, cuddling him or taking him for a walk with his carrier or feed the baby could help you also.
  

Giving enough time and sharing the routine with your wife to nurture with your baby, could help the baby be independent with your wife, and you won’t have nearly as much to be jealous about, in that way, you could carved a strong relationship with both your wife and your baby.

He Thought For An Ezy Roller

Before Christmas, Terry thought to buy Faith an Ezy Roller but because of the money we spent during our wedding last year, he thought we could save more if he would send me money instead and just buy the toys here, but damn, I could not find the toys that my husband wanted to give to our little love bug, so I instead bought something else for her.

On the other hand, Mj was having a hard time of what to give to her teacher, so right after her advance tutorial for Math, we dropped by at the mall and proceeded to the gift section, in that way she could think of any gifts that her teacher would possibly like, we came up of giving her teacher a personalized pillowcases. When she gave it during their Christmas Party, her teacher was so glad and amazed with the pillowcase we gave her.

Among the gifts that my kids received during the holiday, Faith adored her toy piano that she received from her Godparents, that even she was not well at that time when they came over for a visit a day after Christmas, she stormed out the bedroom and greeted her Godparents, she also received a pair of pants and pretty dresses from Sister Irenie. My eldest daughter was happy enough with the mini palace, I and Terry gave her, she also received 100 bucks from my cousin, 150 bucks from my friend Analyn and 200 bucks from her Godmother Clarinda, even though she had a lot of money last year, she never forgot to put half of the money on her piggy bank.

So folks since it is getting late and I guess I already laid down to you all the precious toys of my kids, I think it’s time for my nap time, Faith is bugging me here already and told me to spread the nap mat on her bed, so she could go to her wonderland already. Goodnight everyone!

Umbrella And Fire

As you all know guys, I am quietly addicted to Korean music videos especially of that Sandara Park Group, and one of my favorite is the Umbrella of Rihanna, well they sang the song very well and I guess Rihanna must start to get nervous, joke! Hehehe, I know she has her own moves when she sang the Umbrella and it is her song okay, so even the 2NE1 sang it very well and captivated the heart of the audience as well, Rihanna still owns it.

FYI: Every time they are on stage, they always sang it live. 100% it’s their voice and it is not even dubbed.

Welcome To The World Kaegan Dale

Yesterday when we went to visit Clarinda again, I was able to bring my camera and took a picture of her baby boy, finally I did not left it at home just as what happen before. Right after we were done with fixing the teeth of MJ that was injured cause by playing so hard at school, we headed straight to Clarinda's house, my eldest daughter was so excited to see the baby well, she loves babies even before Faith was born, so no wonder why she told me immediately if we could visit her Ninang Clarinda once again.

I will upload his video in you tube later, the video was taken by my eldest daughter. Meanwhile, here are the pictures we took:

So cute when he smile lol
Your's truly with KD my inanak

I Will Be Active Soon

It has been two weeks now that I did not participate or join any meme and I terribly miss it, I did not even posted my top 10 EC drops here, and I am so sorry for that. Don't worry I'll be active once again maybe next week, I just have to pass my sentiments by. I know I still have it next week or the coming weeks or months but I have to work hard so I could get my PR back for all my blogs since I just learned that Meme could help me regained it.

So guys watch out for next week, I'll be back with posting Meme's or perhaps I would add more Meme's for all my sites. For now I have to recuperate myself for me to do all my task here and I have to say good night to all of you since the classes will start tomorrow, it's time for us to get up early so to prepare for school.

We Visited A Friend

Our electricity bill is about to due so I have to go out to downtown to pay for it, when we were on our way we dropped by at my friend in the hotel so for us to see her baby boy, yes our dear friend Clarinda has already delivered a healthy baby boy.

We were able to talk a lot of things; I can't wait for the thanksgiving she will be given by this month. Her husband is here so that adds to the celebration. Her baby will be baptized soon after they leave maybe after four months, they will be together with her husband in Texas.

My other friend will have an interview this month to be with her fiancée in Georgia, whew! Almost my friends are going away now, I am not sure when will we meet again, maybe when they have the chance to visit us here in two years, but even so I am so happy for them. Go go girls!

Kiss

My cousin is into Korean and I just learned from her that our very own Sandara Park had a commercial together with the heart throb in Boys Over Flowers Li Min Hoo known as Jun Pyo.

I was stunned with the commercial because they just looked good together, lol I can't help but admire their video. Hahaha! I can't believe I am convinced that Li Min Hoo, okay he is handsome that every woman dreamed on to kiss him. Don't get me wrong, I am talking about the commercial, anyway, for curiosity sake, here's the video I am talking about.

BOF At New Year

Recently, I was hooked to watched the Boys over Flower in the TV, I know I am kind'a late about this thing since this has been on the air sometimes on May and ended up I guess June or July, they just aired it back late December and I can't help to have my eyes glued every scene that they had, so to fill the missing episodes, I searched it over in you tube and voila, they had it.

From 10:00 p.m., until dawn well at least I put down the computer to celebrate the New Year with my family, I haven't done anything else but to watch this love sensation in the You Tube, I wasn't even able to chat with my husband in the morning because I was really drain and so sleepy. I still did not finish it now; I hope I could finish it tonight.
