I just finished browsing Just Jared and I came across this pic of Celine Dion / Zac Efron combined...hehehe.... I can't put the pic here kaso takot ako sa demanda..hehe... but if you want to see it go here .... Gotta go...I have to make dinner...

An award from a good blog buddy/friend....my katukayo - Juliana -!!! Yipee!! Thanks much Tuks , you're one of those that make my blogging experience an exciting and fulfilling experience. Drama yan, ha! Time to give this away now so let me pass this on to: Nancy , Lola Tess , Pretty Life Online , Recel , Ritchella , Roselle , Darlene , Vicky and Emma ...come get it before I change my mind...just kidding ladies.....you can get it anytime you want....

Sometime ago, a former co-teacher was riding a bus on her way home from school when a group of men in the bus pointed guns on the other passengers while robbing them of their money and valuables. Ever since that day, I have been mulling over taking some self-defense classes. Finding a school though proved to be harder than I thought. All the places I checked claimed they know the truth about martial arts and that they can help me be ready for any danger that may come my way. That was more than 10 years ago. Up until this day I have not found a school to my liking so I never really pushed through with that plan… that is until I came across Captain Chris’ Close Combat . My plan of learning self defense may just come true because Close Combat Training is more like the self defense I am looking for. Close combat training was founded by Chris Pizzo….an accomplished martial artist with 5 black belts to his credit. You would think that with all these belts he has, he would be able to protec...

1. Who has your heart? I do! Should someone else have it? BUT...My heart belongs to my hubby! 2. How did you wake up this morning? By opening my eyes? Is there any other way? As for how I was feeling when I woke up, I would say pretty good. 3 . Which is more romantic: sunrise or sunset? I like both actually but I rarely wake up early enough to see the sunrise. 4. Are you wearing any non-clothing? Yes. My earrings, a gold bracelet that I never take off, my wedding band and my engagement ring. 5. What did you do last night? I slept. Before that I did some blogging then watched TV with hubby. 6. Who was the last person you kissed? My hubby for his goodnight kiss... 7. Would you kiss that person, again? I better or else... 8. Did you brush your teeth this morning? No, why? I did! It's the first thing in my morning rituals. 9. What did you drink today? Lots of water, juice and a mug of hot cocoa 10 . Do you like honey? It depends on what I put it on. 11. What's the last thing you br...

When my husband and I decided to get married in 2001, it was done the simplest possible way…officiated by a Justice of Peace and witnessed by 2 of his siblings. Why? I was a coward, I guess. I didn’t want to go through the terror of planning a big wedding. My fear was justified when a friend got married in 2005. She spent a lot of money for her wedding coupled with the stress of her personally planning the wedding. If only she found a place that offers unique wedding favors early enough, she would have been spared of all the heartaches in planning the biggest day of her life. Couples now have the choice of just sitting back and relaxing while their dream wedding is being made into a reality by Truly Wedding Favors. The name says it all….they give the bride and groom unique wedding favors because they are the cheapest there is. It is a one stop place and you can choose the theme of your dream wedding without breaking the bank. They have very unique favors that are priced as low as $1 ...

Here's the Tree with the 'Airblown Animated Inflatable Mickey/Minnie Mouse' my dear husband got for our little one. He actually got it at Walmart about a week ago. I think it cost about $80. We hid it until last night when my hubby set it up while I was giving her a bath. It's kinda' noisy though because it is supposed to be an outdoor display but we didn't want to put it outside because of the crazy weather. So now it's situated right beside our little christmas tree. I guess that's about it for the Christmas tree for now. We don't put the presents until the night before christmas...and yep, our little one still believes in Santa. Oh, she was thrilled to see it. Here she is in her nightgown while she's enjoying it for the first time.

A lot of the electronics in our house are either factory refurbished or floor models. This laptop I’m using right now is factory refurbished which we bought online in 2002. We were in a crunch at that time so we couldn’t afford to pay for a brand new one. That’s more than 5 years ago and my laptop is still alive and kicking. The same with our television set. My husband bought it in 2000. The store he went to didn’t have anymore in stock for that particular model so they offered him the one on the floor for half the price. The TV is the one we still use up to this day. But this old TV set would have to be replaced because with our new house that’s being built now, my husband wants an HDTV . With the price of a new HDTV, I don’t think that we can afford to buy it. Actually, with all the financial problems we encountered having the new house built, I don’t think we can afford anything brand new. So my husband and I are on a mission now to look for the appliances we need at a much lower p...

Pokwang had nothing better to do yesterday so she tagged me not once but TWICE in a matter of minutes…hehe. Nah, I actually appreciate the fact that see remembers me…thanks much Pokwang … Here are the rules: *Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog. *Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself. *Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs. *Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog 7 random / weird things about me: ***This is going to take a lot of thinking since I can’t think of weird things about me. Some of my so-called ‘weird habits’ are either gone or are not really weird but I’ll try to come up with something. 1. At night, I’d rather put on sweater and/or jammies instead of using the blanket to keep me warm. 2. When I was in college, I would go in the gym of my dorm where there were games going on to study for my tests. Why? If I stayed in my room to study, I would end up s...

Vicky dropped by this morning bearing gifts...FOR ME!!! It's actually more than just gifts, they're awards...yes they are. She very graciously handed me this.... and this one Isn't that sweet?? I have not been able to visit her sites as often as I used to but she still remembered to give me something. For that, I would like to say 'Thanks a bunch, Vicky !'. Now it's my turn to hand these 2 awards to my friends: Nova , Norms , Denz , Emmy and Pokwang . Come get it ladies and gent.....

Two major things had to be considered when we decided to move forward and hire a new builder to build our house… space and money. The new size of the new house is much smaller than the original one. Everything we chose for the original house should either be replaced or eliminated altogether. We had to choose smaller pieces of furniture or eliminate some things altogether like an armoire that we wanted for the big screen TV my husband is planning on getting. There’s just no space for it. We’re still planning on getting a plasma or an LCD TV although this time, we’re looking at tv wall bracket to hold it. Using this wall bracket is such a perfect choice because it does not take up as much space as a regular armoire. As for the financial situation, we have to choose things which are considerably cheaper because of our tight budget. Good thing the LCD and/or plasma TV prices continue to go down. Not only that, if we stick to buying the armoire that we wanted, it would cost us around 2 th...

As promised in my other entry , here's the almost done christmas tree courtesy of our little girl. She didn't stop until all the balls in sight are put on the tree. Of course she had to put her 'own' touch to the tree. Right now, there are quite a few 'snowflakes' made out of construction papers. Here it is 'bare'... Here it is after she "decorated" it while I was out of the room... And here it is now minus the construction snow flakes... She thinks it's all there is to it. What she didn't know is Daddy bought some kind of a blow up Chrismassy Mickey Mouse that we're putting out tomorrow night. I am hoping I'll be able to capture her reaction when she sees it beside the tree...

I can honestly say that having our little girl in our lives is the best thing that has ever happened to us. No doubt about that. Everything she does just makes our heart swell every single time. It has been a very happy and fulfilling 5 years since the day she came to our lives. A lot had changed since the day we found out we were having a little bundle of joy. We were very excited about the pregnancy so we wanted our family to feel our excitement. So, we looked for some creative ways to do the baby announcements . Both my family and my husband’s family live either across the country or outside the country. So we wanted to share the baby’s birth with them in a special way instead of just making a phone call and telling them about the birth. At first we wanted to buy some birth announcements to let them know but we didn’t have enough resources to do that. So we went online and checked some inexpensive ways to share the good news to our families and friends here and abroad. We came acros...

Arrghh...I'm doing my usual rounds just now. Suddenly a pop up came up about a certain add-on. What did it do? It screwed up my browser of course so my browser had to close down for some kind of an error. I just hate that when it happens. I'm not even sure what brought it on. I had 2 windows open so I can hop faster...not! Oh well....I'll be visiting the others tomorrow. You all have a good night and don't let the bed bugs bite...

There are some things in life that are best when they are slow and easy. Internet connection is NOT one of them. Slow internet connection is probably fine 10 years ago because it used to be very expensive to have a broadband. Not anymore. Cheap broadband is now available almost everywhere. There is just no reason to stick with dial up especially if it costs the same as broadband. Aside from having super fast internet connection, Wi-Fi is the talk of the town now. If you get on with BT Broadband, Wi-Fi service is totally free. This means that anywhere you go around the world, it is possible that you can keep in touch with the rest of the world. You can check your email and surf the internet just like when you’re at home. Oh, did I say this all part of the cheap broadband you can get from BT Broadband? Yes it is. No extra charge or anything. It’s totally free. So if you’re still stuck in the world of slow connection, get on the other side. For starter, check BT Broadband and check out...

One of the things that scare me about driving is finding my way around, well, aside from the driving itself, of course. I have never been good in directions so I am worried that I may get lost if I have to drive all on my own. I have been lost a couple of times so getting lost while I’m driving is a very big possibility for me. One of the things that somehow put my mind to rest is the invention of GPS and places like GPS Insight . Why? Because now I know that there is someone with me at all times. GPS is not only beneficial to drivers like me who is not good with directions. I am going to need one for personal use but a lot of companies also use it to better their businesses and improve their services. A tracking device is a must to businesses that send out people to attend to their customers' needs so they can be sure that the employees they are sending out are doing their jobs and going where they’re supposed to go. My husband’s business does a lot of service calls. These service...

Kabalen, Pokwang , - known to others as Nancy - and my cyber Lola who's only a few years advanced, tagged me. Thanks much, Pokwang and Lola Tess .....

What can be more exciting than finding products that you’re looking for at a much reduced price? A lot of places claim that their product has the cheapest price only to find out after buying it that there’s a place that offers a cheaper price. So I am always on the look out for those places that offer price comparison on different products. At least I don’t have to spend my time going around trying to find the best deal on a product. What kind of products, you may ask. Like MP3 players, and of course the one I’m planning on buying in the near future, a laptop. I just did a search on the laptop and it came up with different brands with price comparison , of course. Sweet. I clicked on the Toshiba laptop and it had a price there but what caught my attention is the note at the bottom where it asks me the amount I am willing to pay for that laptop. Why? So if it becomes available in the price I can afford, they are going to let me know. That is just so convenient. Now I know where to go f...

...from cleaning and putting stuff away since we put the tree where our little one's study area is. We decided to put up the tree last night. I was thinking of decorating it within the week. Yeah right. If you have a 5-yr old at home, 'within the week' is more like - now! So Dad put it up while I gave the little girl her bath. Afterwards, I took my shower. Here's the tree before I went in the shower..... I told the little one not to do anything yet since we'll be doing it tomorrow - meaning today. First I heard her telling Dad in a whisper " Dad, can I put the birds now?". I guess the birds were not the only she thought of putting on it. Why? This his how it looks like when I came out of the shower. Does it look like she didn't do anything with the tree??? Not really. It's not done yet because the balls are still in the boxes and she's too scared to take them out afraid of breaking them. Anyway, I'll post a pic of our tree when it's a...

It’s almost December. A lot of people are planning some life changing trips this coming month I’m sure. This coming month is probably one of the more famous, if not the most famous, months of the year for travelers. It seems that a lot places have something special to offer during this winter month. I have not traveled much in my life. I am the type who would plan and plan any travel that I take. I don’t want to be caught by surprise especially when I’m in a foreign country. I even help my friends to research things they need when they want to travel simply because I’m always online. One friend of mine wants to visit her sister in Germany but she doesn’t want to bother her with accommodations because they’re both married now. She asked me to look for hotels in Berlin . So I did and gave her the things I found. I was curious why they want to go there in December. Well, it’s because of the Christmas markets. She says her sister would always mention it so it got the better of her and deci...

Nova dear and Diane passed this on to me. There won't be much for me to do on this tag because one of these 2 ladies [translation: Nova] and I have the same birth month. The only thing I have to do is highlight whatever traits apply to me. Now this is the kind of tag I want...not much thinking involved...hehe. Thanks for the tag Novs and Diane . 1. Mention the person who tagged you and create a link back to them. 2. Copy-paste the traits for all the twelve months (see below). 3. Pick your month of birth. 4. Highlight the traits that apply to you. 5. Tag 12 people and let them know by visiting their blogs and leaving a comment for them. 6. Let the person who tagged you know when you've done it! MY BIRTH MONTH: NOVEMBER: Has a lot of ideas . Difficult to fathom. Thinks forward. Unique and brilliant. Extraordinary ideas. Sharp thinking. Fine and strong clairvoyance. Can become good doctors. Dynamic in personality. Secretive. Inquisitive. Knows how to dig secrets. Always thinkin...

I have always liked pictures. My friends even call me camera shy to taunt my love of pictures. It doesn’t have to be me in the pictures though. It can be anybody or just picture of mother nature. I am normally surrounded by pictures of friends and loved ones, especially when I started living far from them. I have albums and albums of pictures as well as pictures framed on the wall. I was probably one of those who got really excited when digital picture frames came out. As a matter of fact, only a few days ago, my husband and I were talking about digital frames . I was asking him how they work. So he explained to me as always how they work. Well, I actually know how they work, I was just sending some hints his way in case he’s still wondering what to get me for Christmas. He’s always at a lost what to get me anyway so I thought I’d do him a favor and talk about this amazing invention. I just hope I got through him so I wouldn’t have to tell him again…but I will be more than willing to ...

I know it's not but I just can't help asking out loud. It seems that stores put out their Christmas stuff earlier and earlier. By the rate it's going, they will have Christman stuff as early as Valentine's day. Oh wait, some stores STILL have them out on Valentine's day. Oh well, I guess we just have to get used to it. In the Philippines, as soon as the 'ber' months start - September - some people start talking about Christmas already. Anyway, here are a couple of 'chrismas things' our little one just got today. We even got a wreath just for her bedroom door...but that's for another entry...

We just got back from the store to get some additional decorations for our Christmas tree. The store was quite packed with people trying to buy the same things and then some. There are a lot of items which can be given as gifts to family and friends. But most of the gifts are generic and common. I always try to look for something different. Something personalized like Photo Blankets . Yes, photo blankets. Why not, right? It’s like giving a loved one something that they can remember you by…like seeing you or your kids even if you’re not there. Last year, I remember giving my husband a mug with our little girl’s picture on it. He was very happy to get it simply because no one has the same one. It’s the same with these Photo Blankets , they are so unique that family and friends would surely love them. Here's an example of these gorgeous photo blankets. How I wish I knew about these Photo Blankets before. I wouldn't have a hard time thinking what to give the grandparents then. But...

And nope, you're not allowed to contradict!! Recel said so and that's that! Here's my proof. I got this same award not too long ago but I guess I did not post it on this blog but on the other one. So, I decided to post it here. Thanks Mommy Recel ...appreciate the thought. Since I consider each and everyone of you my blogger friends superstars in my book, I would be happy to seet this one posted in your blog....you are all deserving of this.

Back in 2001, a friend of mine got married in Belgium. I was supposed to attend her wedding but I also got married so I wasn’t able to do so. One of the plans we had then was to go to the UK to visit some places. Since I wasn’t able to do that then, I have some future plans to visit that country with my family. The first place in my list is London. It seems like when somebody goes there, London is almost always part of the itinerary. Right now, I have a couple of friends who are in the UK and one of them is in London. If I am alone, I would probably just stay with this friend but since I will definitely have my family with me, I don’t think staying with her would be a good idea. So I would have to look up Hotels in London . I can’t even decide which place to visit in London but there’s a place there that I’m curious about – Nottting Hill. You may find this funny even unusual, but my reason for this is the movie Notting Hill. I may not see the exact same things in the movie but just kno...

Some more of the funny math answers.....

I know quite a few people who really want to find jobs overseas. Be it in Asia, in the US or in the UK. How can I blame them when the money that can be made working abroad in a month is probably more than what they can make in their lifetime where they are at now? Unfortunately, not everyone who wants to work abroad can. I know a couple who were able to do it and both are now in London. But since they are foreigners there, finding jobs in London is not exactly easy for them. Both these friends of mine are teachers, good teachers at that. But being good teachers where they’re from is not a guarantee of getting jobs in London , especially a teaching position. One even went as far as furthering her education in one London school as a requirement for her to be considered for a teaching position in London. She’s still there now but she’s still not teaching even if she took the necessary courses to land the job she wants. She’s happy though that she got the job that she has right now but sh...

I can't let this joke pass me without being posted here. As usual, I got this from my daily doze of jokes that come in my email.... Top Ten Signs You've Eaten Too Much at Thanksgiving Dinner... 10. Hundreds of volunteers have started to stack sandbags around you. 9. Doctor tells you your weight would be perfect for a man 17 feet tall. 8. You are responsible for a slight but measurable shift in the earth's axis. 7. Right this minute you're laughing up pie on the carpet. 6. You decide to take a little nap and wake up in mid-July. 5. World's fattest man sends you a telegram, warning you to "back off!" 4. CBS tells you to lose weight or else. 3. Getting off your couch requires help from the fire department. 2. Every escalator you step on immediately grinds to a halt. 1. You're sweatin' gravy.

I am not much of a perfume kind of person. I wonder if my allergy has something to do with that. Anyway, my hubby really likes the smell of Bath and Body Works body cream. I was not a big fan at first but I finally gave in a few months ago...yep, after more than 6 yrs. Does that tell you how "easy" it is to convince me?? Lol...Anyway, I ran out of it a few weeks ago so I ordered some online. Well, to my surprise I got a good deal. Normally 1 tube costs $10.50 in the store/online. But when I ordered some online last week, a tube only costs $5/tube with free shipping...yippee...isn't that a good deal. I think so...hehe...anyway, here's my 'loot'..

During these days when everything is just really expensive, especially gas, we are always on the lookout for alternatives to get things like car parts at a much cheaper price. Why not? Some places ask for a small fortune to get specific parts but with Drivewire we can get ford auto parts with a good deal . Driveware place sells auto parts and accessories at a discounted rate. Now we don’t have to go back to those places that only care for our money, with Drivewire we can get all of the parts that we need for our vehicles and save money.

I got these 'math answer sheets' in an email a long time ago. I held on to them because they still make me laugh everytime I look at them...fortunately, I have not encountered any student in my class with this exceptional intelligence. Enjoy!

So it's the day after thanksgiving, how is it so far? I remember when I was younger, the day after the holiday was usually very quiet, somber, almost sad. It's probably because of all the energy spent or just because it's time to clean up or maybe because it's time to go back to reality. Who knows, right? Anyway, our thanksgiving went well. Like I mentioned before, any celebration only became a 'big deal' here in our house because of our little girl....and that alone makes me and my husband excited about it. We planned on spending the day with just the three of us.....threesomeness is the word another Juliana used....and that's exactly what we did. We didn't have the 'big bird' itself instead we had lobsters and shrimps. For the side dish, my daughter had her all time favorite, salad pasta while my husband had baked potatoes and some green beans for veggies. Me? Can you guess what I had? I had the lobster and the shrimp, and as a typical Pinay, I...

One of the things that kind of surprised me when I came to live here in the states is the need to have a credit history. How can I have a credit history? Get a credit card and use it, of course. I never really had any credit card before so I wasn’t comfortable in getting any at first. My husband convinced me to get at least one to build my credit history, so I did. Up until now, I’m still not comfortable using it when I need to buy something but what can I do. I have to use it, right? I just can’t get over the thought that someone might steal my information and use it. At present, I still have only one credit card and I only use it every once in a while. I am reading a lot of credit card scary stories that I’m still scared to use it. So it is a relief to find a place where I can do research on credit cards like one from Bank of America . I can search for the type of credit card I want based on the credit card issuers and/or credit card features. Once the research is done I can compare...

Mommy Emma handed me this award and I took it right away kasi baka kunin ng iba so I decided to stake a claim already....this is mine....meowww..... Thanks much Mommie Ems .

If I am asked what two jobs I can do right at this moment, I can say that teaching and tutoring are the 2 without hesitation. I have more than 15 years of teaching experience and the subject that I taught the most is Math…Grade School, Middle School and some High School Math. Of all these Math subjects I handled, Algebra is probably my favorite. But a lot of students don’t really like Algebra or any Math subjects for that matter. My first teaching job was in a regular classroom setting where there’s a teacher in front of about 30 students talking non-stop. But when I decided to pursue my Masters degree, I quit full time teaching because both required full time hours. To support myself, I started tutoring. That way I can control my schedule and work around it. Parents seek the help of a tutor because their children usually need Homework Help or reinforcement in certain areas. More often than not, Math is the subject that kids need a lot of help with. During those days, what I did wa...

While lining up to have some pics taken with Pooh and the gang on our trip to Disney World, I looked up in the sky. What do you know....I saw something! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's superman!! Not quite...a couple of planes were going in circles. I thought at first that they were jets but as they went with their business, it became obvious that they were trying to write someting in the sky. I was able to capture the first part of it but not the rest. Take a look.... [if you can't see the letters, click on the pictures for the bigger version....] This was how it started.... Followed by this....at this time, I already figured out what they were trying to write... And this was the first word... There were 2 planes doing this but they were not fast enough I guess because when they finished the second word...the first one was barely visible already. What were they trying to write: Jesus Loves Us....

Today is thanksgiving day here in the US. Aside from the celebration itself, this day also marks the start of the holiday season. That can only mean one thing, more spending is on the horizon for everyone. A lot of people tend to overdo their spending during this season that they are sometimes faced with something they are not expecting…financial stress. Sometimes, we just can’t help it. It happens and we need to find a way to fix it. Since these are overspending, they, of course, go beyond our budget for the week or the month...and no matter how hard we try to stretch whatever is left of the budget, it just won’t make it. This is where payday loans can help. This is something that one can do to avoid issuing bouncing checks or pawning or selling some prized possessions just to pay for these expenses. Bouncing checks only result to more expenses than necessary. So, to avoid situations like that, visit cashadvance1500.com and see the different sites that offer payday loans . Most of th...

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I hope you enjoy the day gobbling down the big bird itself. I just came from Tukayo's blog and she has an interesting entry about this very famous celebration here in the US - that some people/families make a 'big show' out of this day then spend the rest of the year ignoring each other. Kinda' hyprocritical, isn't it? Somehow I'm glad that we don't do the family rounds anymore for that same reason. My husband is not really into "going with the flow" so to speak so we decided to just stay home and spend this day with the people that we are really thankful for...each other. For our little girl, spending time with her Dad the whole day is reason enough to celebrate thanksgiving. As for me, I am thankful every day of my life to be given the pleasure of having my own family who makes my life worth living. One of my blogger friends, Ritchelle, asked me what thanksgiving is. I somehow have an idea but I'm no...

One of my favorite household chores is cleaning, more specifically, vacuuming. Aside from actually cleaning the floor or carpet, I get to exercise since this is one chore where I have to actually stand and walk back and forth for a full 30 minutes. I also like the way the carpet looks right after vacuuming. Obviously, since vacuuming is my favorite chore, it makes vacuum cleaners my favorite gadget in the house. For the last few months though, the vacuum cleaner that I have is just not doing the task. My husband changed the belt 3 times already in the last three months, two weeks ago being the last time. So last Tuesday I started using this vacuum. Within the first few minutes of my vacuuming, my daughter told me that she smelled something stinky. So I turned my vacuum off to smell it but I didn’t smell anything funny. So off I went to continue my chore. As I was approaching the dining area, I smelled something burning!!! It was my vacuum burning a small part of the carpet. Well guess...
