Blogging

Tuesday, January 06, 2009

The kid’s went back to school today. I thought that I will have more time in blogging but I was totally wrong. I am busier than ever. Here I am trying to finish my tasks that will due this week. I will start packing again for our Alabama and Florida trips. It’s not a vacation so not much excitement for me.

Hubby got a call from the Army not long time ago and his welcome to join the army anytime he wants. I am still not crazy about the idea but I will not object this time. His very excited, scared but hoping to join the army once again. Army is our second option if the Nuclear Plant will say no-no after his second examination. Wish us luck guys.

auto insurance quotes

Saturday, January 03, 2009
I have to beg hubby tomorrow and drag the Christmas tree outside. My floor is now covered with needles and some berries from the holly branches that the boys hanged near the fireplace. I can’t wait for the Three kings to come and put all my Christmas decors up to the attic. It‘s nice to look at them but I have enough of the holidays. I have so much to do next week and I still need to check some auto insurance quotes too. Hubby is planning to replace our current auto insurance company because their rate is going up once again. Oh well, I better get busy and finish my chores now.

Updates

What up guys! Not much around here just chilling out and killing some time. The weather has been nasty for days now. I miss my daily walking with the boys. School will resume on Monday and the kid’s are excited to go back to school. And that means more time for blogging and sleeping for me ‘wink’. I am trying to spend more time with the kid’s taking advantage of the school break.

We’re going to Florida and Alabama very soon to look around. Hopefully my in-laws will come too so we will have more time to fish and pick some oysters. Hubby is going for his second examination at the nuclear plant, please wish him luck to get the job soon. I will update you all with this matter. Have a fun and safe night.

Clipper Cutting

Monday, December 29, 2008
Hair Cutting Techniques

Fade Haircut | Buzz Cuts

I took the kid‘s to the barbershop the other day and my goodness my bills was outrageous. I used to clip their hair but decided not to because Joe wanted to take the boys out for a decent haircut. I really need to learn how to cut hair properly and maybe I can save money in a long run. Jessica did a fade haircut to the boys last October and also taught me how but I totally forgot the step by step procedure.

I am very interested to learn the secret and tricks to perfecting the many clipper cutting styles such as : taper fade, temple fade, crew cut and many more. I saw a short clip video of the Professional Clipper Cutting techniques DVD series online and it’s so far the best video available in the market. The DVD can be purchase by visiting www.VideoShelf.com for only $49.95 plus shipping and handling. The complete set is $80.00. I can’t wait to get my copy soon and start learning the female clipper cuts too. What are you waiting for! Check them out now.

Vacation

Sorry for not posting anything lately guys. We just got back from our short holiday vacation. We had fun but I had more than enough that I can handle. I feel like a huge funky pig right now that is going to explode any moment. I pigged out like there’s no end!!! Anyway, I don’t have any vacation photos to show off right now…stupid me forgot to bring my camera battery charger. We did not do much because it was pouring rain and the temperature went down to freezing. I can’t wait after the New Year because we are planning to go to Florida and spend couple of days. I hope mom and dad will come too so we can go oyster picking “yum” for two days. I am very excited and I can’t wait to bring a bag of lemons too.

People around here celebrate and have the feast on Christmas Day but not in our house…my boys love the idea of the Noche Buena. Anyway, the kid’s are so excited and can’t wait for Santa to drop by tonight. I better get busy now and finish my chores. Have a great day guys.

Cerebral Palsy

Tuesday, December 23, 2008
I was reading an article about cerebral palsy and I remembered that we used to have a neighbor before who had a daughter who suffered the disease. I cannot remember her name but she is a pretty girl and smiles a lot. I have no idea if she’s still alive because they’ve moved to another place while I was still in the Philippines.

For your information: Cerebral palsy is the disease that results in uncontrolled movement and posture. This is because the part of the brain that controls the movement is damaged. If you would like to know more about the disease then please surf online for more information.

Pecan Pie

The last time I baked pecan pie was like two years ago. I can never bake a pecan pie as yummy as my mother in-law pie. She gave me her recipe but I lost it while I was packing our stuffs for the move. Oh well, I will just surf online and look for some recipe similar to her. I don’t feel like calling and asking right now.

Anyway, I am still not in the mood for blogging…I have so much in my head right now and I can’t even share it to you all. The year is almost over and still no job but the hunting is still on. I just hope hubby will pass his second exam and interview early next month. Wish us luck guys.

Fentraphen

Sunday, December 21, 2008
I had a good chat with my friend who is now working in UAE. I miss her very much and I can’t wait for him to visit USA one day. She’s still single and looking for someone special. I hope he will find someone that is nice and will love her forever. She is a nice girl, kind hearted and one of the best of my friends. We grew up together and went the same schools until high school. She’s a bit heavy though but healthy. She is trying to lose some weight and I can’t wait to share the Fentraphen that a closed friend recommended. I hope it will work because she is desperately wishing to lose at least 20 to 40 pounds before her next birthday. Wish her luck guys.

Camera and Cashmere Socks

nutcracker

I miss taking pictures very much and I can’t wait for my mojo to come back. My SLR is patiently waiting for me. I was playing of it the other day and took couple of shots around the house. Santa has delivered my present 4 days ago and it’s a new point and shoot digital camera. My old pocket camera has retired and it deserved to rest after 9 years of service. I love canon brand a lot because it never let me down ever since. I still wish that Santa still remember to bring my cashmere socks on Christmas.

Personalized Books

I have received an email yesterday from someone closed to the family long time ago. It was a big surprised because the last time I heard from them was like 20 years ago. I have no idea where they’ve found my email address but I was glad though, I am now trying to get hold anyone of them. I miss them very much and I can’t wait to see them one day. I should try to call tatay and mama and ask about them. Oh well, I better get busy now and check that personalized books for the kids. I will update you all about this issue for sure.

Short Update

Hey guys, what’s up? Sorry for not posting some updates lately. I am trying to spend more time with the kid’s while there out from school. I don’t have much interesting news to share. We spent most of our time outdoor taking advantage of the nice weather. Christmas is fast approaching and I’m still not ready for kid’s present. I should get busy now and finish everything before the big day. We are not planning to have a feast on Christmas day but I will cook something for our Noche Buena. Anyway, I will cut this post short and finish my work.

Home Theater Seating

Angel Topper

CLICK TO ENLARGE
I took the photo of my angel topper on top of the fireplace. My 12 inches plastic Christmas tree cannot accommodate her right now. I decided not to put up my 7ft tree this year for some reasons. Joe invited me this afternoon to the Christmas tree farm down the road but I refused. I love to decorate a tree but not this year. I can’t really tell you my reasons because it may sound stupid and you might call me the grinch! I still have the spirit of Christmas and we are celebrating the season for sure. Anyway, we went out this morning and finally bought presents for the kid’s, not much but I am pretty sure they will enjoy and will have fun with it. Guys I will not make this post any longer, you all have great and safe night.

Outer Banks

Wednesday, December 10, 2008
I am burn out and I could probably use a long vacation and a good rest from everything. Hopefully hubby will find a decent job next year or sooner. He promised to take me anywhere I want on our next wedding anniversary. I was surfing online looking for vacation rentals and found Outer Banks of North Carolina to be one of the nicest place to consider. The Carolina Designs Realty is one of the leading companies that offer the best vacation in Outer Banks. So if you’re thinking for a vacation somewhere fun, relaxing and exciting then check them out now.

Dylan's Birthday Party

We had Dylan’s birthday party yesterday after school and it was a simple but fun celebration. We had unexpected visitors came by and thank goodness we had enough food to accommodate their hungry tummies. Dylan’s had his fun and thankful for all the yummy food and gifts that he’d received. Tomorrow, his going to bring his cupcakes and goodie bags to school for his classmates. He is very excited and cannot wait to give his treats away. My birthday is coming next and I am curious what my boys are up to, will just wait and see.

Best Diet Supplement

I am now browsing online for the best diet supplement available in the market. I weighed myself once again this morning and I was disgusted of my weight gain. I feel like crap but there’s no one to be blame but myself. I have not been watching what I eat lately and exercising is the last thing in my mind. I need to pull myself together and get back in shape. I hope that I will find a diet pill that will work for me. I know there is no magic pill out there but I am pretty sure that proper diet, exercise and diet supplement together can do the trick. Wish me luck.

Ranting

My birthday is approaching and the more I think about it the more I freak out. Before I get excited when my big day comes but not this time. I feel like the time is stealing my youth ‘wink’. I don’t have any plans on my birthday “the usual”, especially that we have some serious financial issue.

Hubby is still thinking something for me and his thought is more than enough to makes my day happy. We had Dylan’s birthday party yesterday; it was a good and fun day for him. I will post some photos a little bit later, so please do come back.
