Manic tuesday!

Hubby is at work and we are left in this boring house.Boring because, it's raining! For the entire month of July, we never have a brilliant day that I could consider real summer. As reported [weather forecast],the remaining of summer season would be wet. I am just worried of this humble hubby because he would have to clean a whole lot of mess in the job site. I am again online, this would I guess until midnight or until my eyes give up. Little girl is doing great with her online activities too. This is better than spending money outside. We had better spend it here inside where we are safer:D.

Gloomy start of the week

Yes,it is. I could just see outside from the current state that this gloomyness would be here for long. I do not feel good going outside even to shop for food. We are completely dry.I am lucky to have this squash prepared already and it helped me for a while. My family is now fed and I would not have to worry until at least 6PM today. Of course,I would have to go out,no matter what.

I just hope that by next week, as my busy week, the weather would cooperate. I got loads of things to do in preparation for my trip.I am poor,I got nothing to take with me. So wish us luck.

Didn't get it right.

It is in fact hard to sleep early when you are used to sleeping very late.Last night was a nightmare. That morning, I woke up much earlier as I have to prepare sandwich for hubby.He started late at work so he has to have a good start by giving him good breakfast. As I am used to getting up at 9-10am, 8am was much earlier for me. He then assigned me to do some transactions in the city,I was amazed by gazillions of sales around shops so I had to stop by and stayed there late until hubby is done at worked and picked us.

Would you imagine that I was lucky that he had dinner at work already? I never cooked dinner,I was thinking the leftover for last night was enough for him so I didn't bother. Shiela and I had snack box meal at KFC [fastfood addict,we are!].As I cannot stay much late, I had to sleep by 9PM. Just guess what happen by then. I woke up t 1am until 5am. I cannot sleep anymore and so today's church was affected. NO church for me and Shiela for the second time since the start of the year.Too bad.

A kid with authority

Many times already that a toddler took steps to prove that, she is not just a toddler. This little girl of mine has authority. I cannot think of ways to control it, as it comes naturally. When she thinks that she has control over things, she will do it. Just like when I am on the net. She would do everything just to kick me out of my seat. She would then ask me to leave, as she wants to use the computer. You know, she has not such satiable attitude. She sure finds ways to keep herself entertained online. Thanks to my Parental Control option built in the computer for I managed to allow websites that she can only visit.

A toddler who has authority is sometimes difficult to handle. She feeds herself, bathes herself and puts on nappy herself. What else can I do but guide her. I wish she will realize that she is just kid.

Top tips on stacking nappies

Will you be like me who is now rushing because my litte girl hasn't nappy left anymore? This little girl of mine is someone who changes nappy everytime she feels like.When she was little, she changes nappy at least 4 times day.But now,that could be doubled. She likes being just on a bare panty just like a big girl. But that doesn't guarantee or give assurance that she would tell me whenever she needs to pass urine or the like.

Now,I would have to make sure that we get the next nappy bag before she needs to pee,when left unattended. She just hate wearing nappy but she likes wetting the carpet,gush. You could just imagine the smell if I do not look after it.

Be entertained, keep mp3 player in hand wherever you go.


We all feel delighted when we hear music; we sometimes hum with it or sing to our hearts content. Music brings us all together. The recent death of the King of Pop was perfect evidence that we all adore music. My husband and I easily click when it regards to buying a new CD or DVD of an artist that we both love. He also has any means of listening to it. Music accompanied him when he is alone, before I met and joined him here. It’s music that made him closer to my younger brother as he presented him his ever loved Michael Jackson CD collections and a CD player that he thought he could have as long as he want it. He bought an MP3 player that he plays when cycling to work. However, it is now left in the cupboard, as he does not need it after he bought a car.


It just made me think of giving his mp3 player again to those who need it. I actually love to bring some Mp3 players, one for my girl where I could save all her favourite nursery rhymes to keep her entertained on our upcoming trip to Philippines. Wish us luck as for this very long trip, dear friends.

Out of nothing I made this...

I was just thinking what to do to make my day productive.I have been trying to figure out whether or not to post some ads on the bulletin board here offering my services, any would do.I think someone would be interested, I could mind children, or do ironing, clean houses and all. You know, every cent this time counts.I just couldn't think what to do other than that because I am afraid that I might not fulfill those tasks because hubby is tired from work most of the time.

Out of nothing I have thought of "nothing special" but check some online opportunities that could pop up anytime.I have been doing this routine late 2007, come recession that made it more difficult. What can I really do? I could study, who knows before this year ends I could have another certificate that could help me get a dream job which is either to mind children in créche or as a montessori assistant. I could as well just study or read books that could help me hone my grammatical skills to make my posts interesting,you think? Argg,so confusing.

So close

I remember a friend telling us that they were very disappointed with the LOTTO's result. They have 5 out of 6 correct combinations that is so closed to winning at least €8 million. THAT WAS SHOCKING! They were very close to have all their dreams and ambitions and all come true and come to life. Of course I guess they will as well spare some to us, how much is Php1 million if they want us to be happy too(lol***). It was unbelievably so close!

I asked hubby if he wants to play lotto too. Winning the jackpot I guess would allow us to have everything in an instant. Houses, businesses and all. But do you know what he said...? !I did not play LOTTO to have you! yikes!

Are you ready for a halloween party?

A few months from now, we will be celebrating the spookiest and scariest type of party, the Halloween. I like to go trick or treating and I will be back from our holiday by then. For sure, my girl would enjoy it because she met a few little girls around here already.

Do you know that it is not only birthdays and other special occasions where invitation cards are present? Of course, Halloween invitations are available. You might have not known it, yet. I have checked the Invitation Consultants and they have them there. Just take a peek at this one I grab from their website.

Our dream vacation

When a friend told me how fun her vacation was during her visit to New York, I did not feel that extremely excited. I know it has the same face as some other places around here, though I really would like to see Big Apple myself. Going round places is not as exciting as my ideal vacation, which is to go cruising. I was raised in an island where boating is our only means to reach to the city. I have too much of that boating experience, if that is what others may feel or think. However, I have not had enough. In fact, that is the first thing in mind that I miss being at home. What would you feel having witnessed 5-8 dolphins doing their stunts? It was one of those extraordinary moments that nobody expected. The sea was so calm and quite, and suddenly those beautiful creatures appeared from nowhere dancing and jumping of joy.

My ideal cruise vacation is just like that. It may take me time to go home but I could still feel the serenity of that island by going to other famous islands, just like the Caribbean. I have heard how amazing this place is. Going there with my family for a 2-3 days Caribbean cruise would be a dream come true. We could all enjoy what hotels cannot give. We could still have our breakfast in bed with a cool breeze from an open ocean.

Do you dream to go cruising too?

Football is a SPORT!

Image from GOOGLE
It is not the game that matters but the spirit. Sport means better than just playing a game to win. It's the attitude of a player towards dealing with what he is doing. Football is a sport that makes my husband happy. Whenever there is a big match on TV, he would just forget all his worries for a while even if I have to keep reminding him in the middle of the game. Not to mention when his team loses the match:D.

What I love watching football is the way players play it. I do not like watching some characters that expresses their emotions towards it badly by showing it over the TV. Not a good idea especially when most little boys love this game.

Piano lessons

Moulding a person’s character starts from childhood. That is why I am trying my best to be a good example for my daughter.

I grew up with my parents looking after my attitude full time. I would want to do the same so long as I am able. However, there are things that they lacked to help me be a productive one. I just cannot imagine that those days and years could be my stepping-stone to help me become one of the famous artists, musicians, etc. I cannot play any organ nor can sing.

Now I want my daughter's time to be put in good use. We bought toys where she could start learning the basics. On the picture is her with the toy piano. I am glad that until now, she is still trying to master the keys. I am planning to enrol her for piano lessons in the future. She will definitely be different and better than me.

It was such a great day...

Who would have thought that I would gain a lot of friends here? Not just friends but good ones.Today, I have spent my entire day chatting with them. Celebrating special occasions is the only time that we could all gather together. We do communicate via these latest technlogies, however, that is quite enough. We all love a good laugh and we backfight,too. Of course, we could all share what we have in mind. After all,it's normal.

Anyway, gaining a lot of friends is one of my biggest achievements being far from my homeland.I could not thank enough my hubby for teaching me how to deal with people, the best way.

Murray Feiss lightings

Based on what I said about toddlers, not most of the time they are amazing. Because they always want to do things their own, no matter how dangerous it would look like, I feel like I should give up. There was once that I keep asking her to stop shaking the side lamp. It is not ours; it is the owners so I was just scared that the light might break. As hardheaded as she can be, she instead pulled it down. It was not just the light but the breakable shade too.

We have told the property owner that we are willing to replace it. He said no, it is okay but my husband feels that it is not good to leave it this way. I tried looking the same shade in shops, unfortunately, nothing is available. However, I found one at Murray Feiss that looks like it online.

It is not really the one hence, what was broken was a side lamp but I know it would be a great replacement.
