Hello September

2011-09-01T10:03:00.000-07:00

I seriously wanted to start September by blogging. I opened the page thinking of the many things I wanted to blog about but the day ended without a new blog entry. Nothing new. I don't know how I was able to blog a few years back. It seemed easier back then. Now with many things needing more attention, I have less time for blogging. I'm happy to be able to spend lots of time with the little boy

I was told by a lot of people that babies grow up so fast but I never thought it was going to be this fast. Everyday that I look at him he seems to be different. Chunkier legs, new tricks, more talkative and the list goes on.*Gymboree has been fun for both of us but mostly for Elijah. He always

Driving

2011-06-10T09:34:00.000-07:00

One of the things on my to do list is to learn how to drive and to confidently drive alone. To learn is one thing but to be actually driving is another. I took up my first driving lessons way back in college. If my memory serves me right it should be around 1998-1999. I was pretty successful with my driving lessons back then as I was able to drive the streets of Quiapo (any one who has been there

MIA

2011-03-29T11:47:00.000-07:00

That was me.But I am back. We are actually back. We've been gone for more than a month and it has taken me about 2 weeks to settle back in. We had a great vacation but I wish we could have stayed longer. "Tornado" definitely enjoyed his vacation and it was nice for family and friends back home to finally meet him. The idea of having his baptism in the Philippines was also great as it served as a

Weekend!

2011-02-04T21:45:00.000-08:00

Finally, it's the weekend. It was a super busy week at work for T. He's been so busy that he has been going home late. So, It was just me and the little one at home since his been coming home close to midnight and he has to go home to work again early the next day. I was busy too because other thank taking care of the little one, I had to look for a car insurance. A cheap, good and realiable one.

It's that time of the year

2011-02-04T21:40:00.000-08:00

for Proms! I never had a formal prom in high school. I graduated from an all-girls school and what we just had is the high school dance and then the senior dance in 4th year. How I wish we did have a prom back then, I'm sure it would have been fun. Seeing all the display at the mall for the prom dresses 2011 makes me want to go to one. The dresses are beautiful! If I had a party to go to, I would

HGTV

2011-02-04T21:30:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite channels is HGVT. I love the houses they feature and the tips you can get from styling a house to buying a house and even to selling a house. I can stay at home all day and watch the shows from this channel. This is exactly what happened to me yesterday and I totally forgot about my Aunt's request for me to look up on massage therapy program online. The only time I remembered

Sleepy

2011-01-22T21:39:00.000-08:00

I'm already sleepy but I have to stay up with my T. He is trying to finish on a report for work while here I am surfing, finishing tasks and then reading up on safe diuretics. I would suggest you don't ask me on why I'm reading on it. Hopefully, T gets to finish on what he is doing soon so we can already sleep. I'm keeping my fingers crossed also that the little one sleeps through the night.

World Market

2011-01-22T21:22:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite stores is world market. They sell everything. From furniture's, home decors, accessories, wines, food from everywhere and kitchen stuff. I love going here especially if I'm buying gifts. I made a quick visit today to buy the book about how to suppress appetite that I saw last week to give to T's friend who's been trying to lose weight. Other than the book I ended up buying a

Good Housekeeping

2011-01-22T20:46:00.000-08:00

Over the holidays, I was able to sign up for a one year subscription of Good housekeeping for only $5! It was such a steal. I now look forward to my monthly magazine. I love the new finds I see especially for this month's issue they did acne body wash reviews, somthing I badly need so I headed to order a bottle immediately online. I have to say, so far so good. I'm liking the results. T said we

Tiring Saturday

2011-01-22T20:34:00.000-08:00

Today was a tiring day as we were out almost the whole day. I woke up really early as the little one decided he didn't want to sleep anymore at around 6am. Luckily, he took a nap before 8am so I got the chance to nap also. He woke up again 30 mins later. We then decided to go out to have some breakfast. Then we looked for a receipt printer and some other gifts to bring back home. We went home to

6:20am

2011-01-22T07:07:00.000-08:00

I've been up for almost an hour now. It's very early still especially since it's a saturday. The little one has decided he is no longer sleepy and that he wants to get out of our room and play in his room. As I type this, he is having fun under his playmat and I'm looking for articles on how does lipozene work. I would probably still have 20 mins of alone time before he starts crying and

HP batteries

2011-01-21T22:49:00.000-08:00

When I thought I could sleep early, T wants me to look for the cheapest hp batteries online. He actually asked me to do this for him early this week but a baby takes up most of my time. He is lucky, the little one is already sleeping so I can order the batteries for him. He badly needs this for work. He uses an HP at work and he badly needs to change the battery already. Hopefully the items

Time Flies

2011-01-21T22:22:00.001-08:00

I was cleaning up my hard drives, backing up pictures and deleting files I don't really need. I was looking at the pictures of my niece and nephew and in just a year they have changed a lot. I'm not going to be surprised if the same happens to my little one. I myself have changed a lot. All that pregnancy weight I have to lose. That's my goal for the next 2 months. I'm not sure if it's something

Birthday Gift

2011-01-21T22:11:00.000-08:00

I had a very quiet celebration of my 32nd birthday. My SIL took me out to lunch and then I spent the afternoon with her and her kids. We then met up with T for dinner. T got me a wok and a sony network media player for my birthday gifts. I told him if this was his way of telling me that we should get rid of our cable tv already. I tried the media player earlier and signed up for hulu plus. It was

Weekend

2011-01-21T22:03:00.000-08:00

I'm counting the days until we board the plane and we go on a month long vacation. I make sure I'm busy everyday so as I won't feel for the days to be long. Today, the baby and I went to the mall again. I just wanted to walk around and had no plans of buying anything but still ended up buying a cigar humidor for my uncle. I know he has been wanting one for a long time and since it's his bday on

Excited

2011-01-19T23:35:00.000-08:00

I'm excited and looking forward to February! I have a lot of things to do in the coming days especially with finalizing "tornado's" baptism. I also have to finish all the things I have to buy for family and friends back home. I did some online shopping earlier--thank God for Amazon. No tax and free shipping. I still have to get the weight loss pills that my cousin wants me to get her. She has

Korean BBQ

2011-01-19T17:17:00.000-08:00

I was craving for korean food and since T is a good husband, he gave in to my craving and brought me to a korean bbq restaurant for dinner. We had so much fun cooking and then eating. T told me I should look into natural supplements for weight loss. It's funny how we always talk about losing weight and yet we end up eating so much especially during the weekends. It's just a good think we both try

Help!

2011-01-19T16:52:00.000-08:00

I seriously need weight loss pills that work! It's been 3 months since I gave birth and I still have to lose 15lbs. I still can't wear my pre-pregnancy clothes. With a vacation coming really soon, I need to lose weight soon since vacations also mean weight gain. lol. I've been cutting down on carbs but I'm having a hard time on not eating sweets. I love chocolates. Add junk foods to that. I've

2011-01-19T16:24:00.000-08:00

I have not worked in a formal office setting in a very long time. The last I think was in 2007, right before I took the local nursing board exam. After I took the boards, I started working from home for an Australia based company. I did that for 2 years and for over a year I've just been staying at home and earning a little through blogging. I've been looking for work online and even without

I get to watch less of it now though.Uhm, back to being a millionaire. I was watching Selling New York on TV last night. and huge condominiums selling for millions! I told T that if we were rich, I

2nd Year Anniversary

2011-01-12T23:40:00.000-08:00

We didn't really plan anything for our second year wedding anniversary. We just came back from a mini-vacation over the Christmas break so that sort of was our early anniversary celebration. We didn't really get any gifts from other people this year for our anniversary. I remember getting clocks first anniversary gifts last year. It was nice and quiet for us this year.

2011-01-12T17:34:00.000-08:00

Loving the after Christmas sale. I thought shopping would end with the end of the season but I was wrong. A lot of the stores are still on sale! Love.it. I was able to buy 2 cousins digital cameras and other gifts for family and friends back home. We have already filled 2 boxes to be sent home but it seems like we need to get another box as we still have more items here at home. I won't even be

Chowking

2011-01-10T19:30:00.000-08:00

I have been seriously craving for taho for the longest time so it was a pleasant surprise for me upon learning that the Chowking we have here sells taho. It was a gloomy and cold Monday afternoon when T and I with tornado went out to pick up the policy for my Uncle's NC health insurance and then headed to Chowking branch in Cerritos for some taho. I also had arroz caldo with tofu. It was perfect

Multi-tasking

2011-01-07T22:39:00.000-08:00

Last day of the working week of the first week of the year. The week went by so fast, but I'm not complaining. It has been a good week for us. T went back to work Tuesday meaning we had an extra day of vacation. That was just perfect because I had someone to look after tornado while I finished on my chores and also finish on the personalized note cards to be sent out to family and friends.

2011

2011-01-07T14:22:00.000-08:00

My very first post for the new year. I would've wanted to post on the first day of the year but I've been pretty busy for the past few days. Especially since I had to help an uncle look for a Maritime Lawyer. The start of the year has been good. That only means the whole year is going to be great. Positive thoughts to start the year. I'm looking forward to what 2011 has in store for my family.

Last Minute

2010-12-18T21:33:00.000-08:00

Next week I badly need to do last minute shopping. And the weather is not cooperating as we are expecting more rain next week. Ugh! I should have taken advantage of the Black Friday and finished off our Christmas list. Now I have to finish everything next week. The only problem is everytime I am out to buy gifts I also find something to buy for myself, T or for tornado, lol. I know I can finish

House Renovation

2010-12-15T15:11:00.000-08:00

The project to renovate the house is never ending. After finishing the renovations inside, it's now the outside that we are working on. In the past 2 weeks, we had a new garage door installed and the outside of the house has been painted. Right now, someone is working on putting up a new fence and cementing our side yard. The one working on putting up our backyard fence is a guy we saw working on

Weekend

2010-12-11T22:29:00.000-08:00

It's going to be one busy weekend for us. I guess all weekends leading to Christmas is going to be busy. I hope I can squeeze in some time to go online to look for term life insurance as T had asked me to do this early this week but I have never had the time to do so. I'm looking forward to seeing my relatives as they are all leaving next week for the Philippines. I'm still feeling sad that we

15 days

2010-12-10T11:02:00.001-08:00

Exactly 15 days before Christmas and we still have tons to do. T bought a tree already the other day and last night placed the lights. we need to still put on the ornaments we bought. The house smells like pine which I really like. We need to still finish our Christmas shopping. I made a bit of a progress yesterday and bought a few gifts. I'm thinking of giving my BIL pull up bars since he is

Christmas List

2010-12-08T05:43:00.000-08:00

We have not started with our Christmas shopping. I have a feeling we will be doing this a day before Christmas,lol. At least I have made a list already of who we need to buy gifts for and what we could buy for them. We gave the guys on our list nice pens last year and I'm thinking of giving them ties this year. The kids would probably get either toys or books. The women are getting scarves. And

Oreo White Fudge

2010-12-02T14:45:00.000-08:00

My new addiction. Sooo good but I know it's so bad too in terms of calories but I can't help it. We have even stocked up on it since we know it won't be available for long. Now I'm thinking I might need the 7 day slimming pill considering I have not even lost all the weight I've gained during my pregnancy. I can't stop myself from eating this though.

2010-12-02T13:50:00.000-08:00

Thank God the little one is finally taking a nap. We went to see his pedia this morning and they gave him his vaccination. They told me to expect him to have fever and be fuzzy. So far, no fever but he has been a little fuzzy. It has been 3 hours since we got home from the doctor and I've been trying to finish reading an article about human growth hormone side effects since we got home and only

Dermatologist Needed

2010-12-02T13:22:00.000-08:00

I think I really need to go visit a dermatologist soon. Other than my acne woes, I need to get blackhead treatment. I feel that my face has gotten really dirty. The last time I went to get facial was a few weeks before I living the Philippines and that is 11 months ago. I was looking forward to getting a facial when we go home but with the change of plans and having to celebrate Christmas here in

Black Friday

2010-11-19T23:19:00.000-08:00

I'm so excited for next week as it is only a 3 day work week for T and of course because it's thanksgiving. Another thing to look forward too is of course black friday sale. It's time to start with Christmas shopping. I've been reading a lot of possible good deals for that weekend and my cousin has sent me a link online so I could buy her what they say is the tried and tested best acne products

2010-11-18T22:54:00.000-08:00

I'm so sleepy already bu I have to look for a tampa car rental for my cousin who'ld be going to Tampa for a week. She thought her work had made arrangements for this already but at the last minute she was told she had to make the arrangements herself. Too late for her since she's already at the airport and was about to board. If I was her, I'ld be so pissed.So here I am, still online even if it's

Cellphones

2010-10-28T23:51:00.000-07:00

I'm not planning to get a new cell phone. I'm very happy with the one I am currently using and do not find the need to change or upgrade. I remember the time where in I would change cellular phones every year if not twice a year. It's crazy because their is always a new phone in the market. Always an upgrade of what you currently have. And I was one of those who was never contented with what I

GPS

2010-10-28T23:33:00.000-07:00

The truck I've been driving does not have a gps tracker that is why I've been bugging T to get me one. I usually just use the map off my phone to get to somewhere unfamiliar. I know though that having the tracking device is going to make my life so much easier as I have gotten myself lost quite a number of times already. T promised to get me one and install it in the truck but with his busy

Jobs

2010-10-28T23:25:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine who has recently migrated here in the US has been lucky enough to land a healthcare job in the first month of being here. I say lucky because I know that not everyone gets to land a job that easily. For some it takes months of looking and waiting. It can really get frustrating. I was just watching the news earlier and they had a feature on an ongoing job fair and the lines to

Thankful

2010-10-28T17:27:00.001-07:00

I'm thankful that we are back home. One month of staying in a hotel was just too much. I missed our fast internet connection and cable tv. The one they had at the hotel was really crappy. I missed our Samsung LCD TV. I missed having a kitchen and not being locked up in a room. At least here in the house I can move from one room to another. I'm thankful we didn't have to bring a baby home to a

Multi-Tasking

2010-10-28T17:22:00.000-07:00

I think I'm approving with my multi-tasking skills. Ever since the little one was born, I have slowly mastered the art of multi-tasking. Little one on the left hand, pumping milk on the right or watching over the baby while doing the laundry or cleaning feeding bottles while cooking. What I like the most is watching over the little one and online window shopping. We are currently looking for a

Car Insurance

2010-10-28T17:04:00.000-07:00

I was looking online for good deals on car insurance rate as we are due to renew the insurance for T's car. I've found a few good deals and all I need to do is to show it to T. Insurance can get really expensive so it's always a must to look for a good deal that would work well for what we really need. I need to make sure we get the most out of our coverage. T used to do all this but he's been

Vacation

2010-10-28T17:01:00.001-07:00

It's not going to happen in the near future since T is busy with work but it's something I already want to start planning. I've been looking at Orlando vacation packages just in case we don't get to go home or probably just head to San Diego during T's Christmas break. Tornado is going to be bigger then and I think I'ld be more comfortable to bring him out of town. I'm still hoping we get to

Renovated Kitchen

2010-10-27T19:38:00.000-07:00

I love our newly renovated kitchen. The one month of wait for the house renovation to finish is so worth it. I love not only our kitchen but the whole house of course. I'm also happy with the Moen kitchen faucets as it matched perfectly the sink that we picked. Sadly, I have not really done any cooking in the kitchen yet. It's hard to be cooking and then having to look after the little one.

Christmas Shopping

2010-10-27T19:20:00.000-07:00

It's never to early to start with Christmas shopping. Especially for me, since I cannot go out of the house for now. Well, I could but I'm opting to stay home as I think it'll be to hard to be driving around with an infant at the back of the car in a car seat. I wouldn't know on what to do once he starts crying. Anyhow, I'm already on a look out for good deals online. My uncle already said he

Swaddles

2010-10-26T17:47:00.000-07:00

I've only had the little one for a week but have noticed on how well he sleeps when he is swaddled versus when he is not. He surely sleeps longer when I have him swaddled but I'm still forced to wake him up to drink his milk. His swaddle was a last minute buy and I'm sure glad I did. I actually almost forgot about it because I was distracted with the barcode scanner the had at the store. Good

One Week

2010-10-26T17:40:00.000-07:00

Today, the little one is a week old. That also means I have not gotten a decent sleep in a week. I badly need a cream for my dark eye circles. It's been all worth it though. It is tiring and I sometimes miss my me time but every time I see the little one I know I just have to enjoy his being little because in no time he'ld be running around the house.

Never Ending

2010-10-26T17:34:00.000-07:00

It is a never ending task to clear out the house and get rid all the things we need to get rid off. Today, while the little one is sleeping I got to clear out one drawer that was filled with paper work and old magazines. I even found a magazine that had an article about male enhancement reviews. I probably should send that to one of my cousins in the Philippines, lol. I wish I can do more

Losing Weight

2010-10-26T10:01:00.000-07:00

After giving birth (yes, I have given birth exactly a week ago) I'm pretty surprised with my weight loss. I've lost half of the weight I have gained and I am hoping the other half is not going to be hard to lose. Just the same though, I've read up on the 7 day slimming pill reviews in case I would need it. Pretty good reviews I must say and something someone should look into if you are just

Acne Treatment

2010-10-15T18:24:00.000-07:00

I am seriously considering on getting acne treatment as I am having the worst skin breakout ever since I got pregnant. I hate it. I hope just like what everyone says that it will clear out after I give birth. If it does not, then the acne treatment is on top of my Christmas list. Ok, maybe not on top of my list but it will surely make my list. Teehee.

Yey!

2010-10-15T18:17:00.000-07:00

After a month of being "homeless" we are finally moving back to the house tomorrow. I'm excited. I've had enough of staying in the hotel. I'm excited to sleep in our room and enjoy the renovation we did with the house. I'm excited since I get to have fast internet connection again as the connection here in the hotel is super slow. I heard one of the guests who was looking for smoke shops complain

Mid Week

2010-10-13T07:33:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it's already Wednesday! The first two days of the week went by so fast. I can't wait for the weekend to come as it's time for us to move back to the house. I've had enough of just staying in a hotel room. It has been nice to be here while the house is being renovated but I miss our house too. The coming days are going to be really busy getting everything ready for the house and

Waiting Game

2010-10-07T14:59:00.000-07:00

And the waiting for "the day" has begun. I don't really mind waiting for a few more weeks since we are still waiting for the house to be ready. We have been less busy the past few days, which I think is good. My days has been spent resting and doing little errands but not everyday. Last Monday, It was too hot to go out and I just stayed inside the room. Thank God for a/c! I only realized on how

Glee

2010-10-06T14:57:00.000-07:00

I'm sad that I have actually missed out on Glee. I have not watched a single episode for the current season. The same goes with all my other favorite TV show. We do have cable in the hotel but since we go out for dinner and go to check on the house, by the time we get back to the hotel I missed on the TV show already. I can't relate on when how friends talk about Glee. I miss our DVR and I can't

Filipino Food

2010-10-06T14:45:00.000-07:00

We have been eating out for the past 3 weeks. The only times I've eaten home cooked meals was when we went to SIL's house for dinner. Other than that it has all been eating out for us. Every night we always have to think of where to it. It has been hamburger, sandwhich, pasta, pizza etc for the past weeks.Last Saturday, T asked me on what I wanted to eat. I said I wanted some filipino food. We

Rainy Monday

2010-10-04T18:26:00.000-07:00

Today was a complete opposite of last week's weather. It was so hot last week and it has been gloomy and raining all day today. I was thinking of going out to I don't know where but at the last minute decided I should just stay inside the room. Pretty boring if you ask me.I was just taking naps or watching TV all day since I've finished reading the book we bought last week. I could not find

Maternity Dress

2010-10-02T22:28:00.000-07:00

I never thought looking for a dress to wear in a wedding when pregnant was going to be hard. Maybe it's not really hard to find one, I was just being too picky. I didn't really want to buy a dress since I'm just a month away from giving birth but then again none of my dresses would fit me so I really had no choice but to buy one. Good thing I found a really nice dress at Gap that I should still

Car Seat

2010-10-02T22:18:00.000-07:00

A must with the coming of "tornado" is a car seat. We can't bring him home if we don't have a car seat. It took sometime before we got him one though. We technically didn't get him one because SIL and family bought us one. We were on the look out for a car seat but we wanted to wait till after the baby shower to get one. I think we kinda knew we were going to get one as a gift. Tomorrow we shall

Weddings

2010-10-02T15:46:00.000-07:00

Love attending weddings. I love how the feeling is so light and that love is truly in the air.We went to a wedding last Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding and I love the flowers they used for the wedding. I had a great time taking pictures of the wedding and most especially of the flowers. The make-up of the bride and her entourage I heard was by her relative who went to Hoover Alabama

Last Sept 11, my favorite little girl Bindi turned 2! She had an elmo-old school-swimming party and from the pictures posted by my cousins and sister the little girl surely had fun. I can't believe on how big she is though. She looks like she is 4!This is my favorite picture of her taken during her party. I love her curly hair, sweet smile and cute dimple.

Weight Loss

2010-10-02T15:12:00.000-07:00

My most dreaded part of my now weekly check-up is every time they check my weight. I've been very good though and the weight I have gained during the whole pregnancy is within limits as they say. For last Thursday's check-up though, I lost 2 lbs. That came as a shock to me since we have been eating out E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y and I was even close to looking for weight loss programs to take after I give

Growing Family

2010-09-24T21:32:00.000-07:00

And soon we will be three.In less than a month, we will finally see "tornado". Long wait is over. I am blessed I didn't have a hard time during my pregnancy. The nine months flew by so fast. T and I have talked about having a need to start saving up for "tornado". We thought of saving money for now and then eventually investing it and the best investment is to buy gold bars. The value of gold has

Online Shopping

2010-09-20T10:50:00.000-07:00

I should be finishing the thank you cards that we need to send out but I've been side tracked again. I've finished 7 and then I remembered I wanted to check on something over at amazon so instead of finishing up on my thank you cards, I spent the last 45 mins doing online shopping. I was able to buy a few things online for "tornado", anti aging products for my mom and a book for me. Online

Vacation I want!

2010-09-20T09:47:00.000-07:00

With everything that has been happening and with a month more to go before the little one arrives, all I can really think of is to when we could take a vacation. We would ofcourse probably have to wait till the little one could travel and enjoy but right now a vacation to of those Outer Banks vacation rentals with carolina designs is really tempting. It would be nice to just get out there have

Busy Weekend

2010-09-20T09:39:00.000-07:00

It was a busy but fun weekend for us. Saturday morning was spent doing more cleaning in the house and waiting for the delivery of our cabinets. Saturday afternoon was our baby shower hosted by our families. It was nice to be with family and friends of course. We are also happy with all the gifts we got for the little one.For a change, it was a late start for us last Sunday. For the past weekends

TGIF

2010-09-17T21:59:00.000-07:00

Yey for friday's and weekends! This week was really busy and it feels like it was just Monday yesterday. Been busy doing errands this week. I had a slow day today though. Other than going to the house this morning to clear out the medicine cabinet in one of the bathrooms, I had a chance to go to the mall this morning. Was looking for the colon cleanser that I need to send back home. I was not

Bai Plu

2010-09-15T16:34:00.000-07:00

It was about a month ago when T and I first tried the restaurant Bai Plu and now we are hooked. We have been going here at least once a week and we love the food. They serve Thai and Japanese food and so far everything we have tried is good. I can't wait till after I give birth so I can eat sushi again. I think we can eat here more than once a week but if we do so I will have to also buy best

Acne Treatments

2010-09-15T16:28:00.001-07:00

This early I'm already reading on acne treatment reviews just I don't lose mine after I give birth. I'm currently having the worst acne breakout ever and I'm blaming the hormones. It has been really bad the past few months and no amount of washing the face and keeping it clean has helped. I'm hoping I won't need any acne treatments but who knows and I just want to be prepared for the worst that

Busy Week

2010-09-15T09:11:00.000-07:00

The home renovation is in full swing! After months of procrastinating, looking for people to do the job, looking for tiles and furnishings. It took us months to start this big project and I must say I am might proud of T for all the hard work he has done. I believe we are also blessed with wonderful contractors. They did the kitchen demolition in less than 30 mins. It was really fast--well we do

Good Morning Saturday

2010-09-11T07:28:00.000-07:00

It's rare for me to wake up early on a Saturday especially since we are not going out. Today, I was up before 7am and could not seem to go back to sleep. A number of things are on my mind esp with the kitchen renovation having to start on Monday, we still have a ton of things to do. I wish I could just sit around, surf the internet, finish the gold coin research I am doing and enjoy the weekend.

Garden Shed

2010-09-05T11:42:00.000-07:00

Our backyard is pretty much empty. We someone take care of the grass once a week just to maintain it and for it not to look like a jungle. We are convinced though that it needs some work and we can also renovate the patio so we can make use of our backyard. We have to do all this though after we finish with all the renovation projects we have. T is looking at Duramax Garden Sheds to replace the

Long Weekend

2010-09-05T11:32:00.000-07:00

Hooray for long weekends!We didn't really have anything planned for this weekend. I know a lot of people took advantage of this weekend to go out of town and enjoy the last few days of summer but we never really got to plan anything plus T is busy with work and home stuff. I did look up online on the Branson vacation packages, it was really tempting but we had more important things to do so we

Overruled by the Payday Loan

2010-09-05T11:29:00.000-07:00

Are you stuck in the midst of a financial crisis? Are the doctor’s bills for your last checkup still pending? Are you feeling overwhelmed and worried? Why should you? Getting a payday loan is your solution!

Dead Tired

2010-08-31T16:55:00.000-07:00

First step of home improvement started today with the installation of new windows. It only took half a day for them to finish and it took me 3 hours to clean up. So tiring! I couldn't afford to wait for T to get home before I start cleaning up because the house was so dusty. I was so tired mid-way the cleaning but I knew I had to finish. This are the days I miss being in manila and having people
