Pond?

-
In front of our house? That's what it looks like, right? Actually, it's just water from a heavy rain yesterday afternoon. It rained so much that it looked like we had a small pond by the front. We also had a small puddle on our back porch so the little one had a few minutes of fun. What's with puddles and little kids anyway? She can't seem to resist the urge to stomp on it whenever she sees a rain puddle...

The rain lasted less than an hour but it dumped 6 inches of rain according to the weather people on TV. The people around here got a wee bit excited and started taking pictures...yep, including us. LOL....

It's actually raining while I'm typing and it looks like we're going to have a repeat of yesterday which is not good. Yes, the grass needs watered but it almost drowned yesterday. Our neighbor's backyard still looks muddy from where I'm standing so it can only get worse if it rains as hard as it did yesterday. Maybe we should start singing..."rain, rain, go away...come again another day".

Happy Monday!

oh...whenever i see pouring outside, it reminds me always of my childhood days, me, my siblings and cousins used to play on a muddy, flooding area we have in our compound. all the memories really flashed back... so i do understand what's your girl up to lately whenever she sees heavy rains...

too much rain isn't good too...because it'll end up flooding and once it's done there will be stagnant water in your place... good thing mosquitoes that carries viruses don't survive in this continent...

that's how it has been here in NY since yesterday. although, in our area we're not getting as much. hanggang bukas pa daw ang ulan.

my mind has been preoccupied the past week dahil my Mom and the rest of the staff in her house was hospitalized for food poisoning. pare-pareho sila ng kinain, crabs daw. problem is, my Mom is the only sickly person kaya siya ang tinamaan ng todo. now, her nephrologist bumped up her dialysis from 2x/week to 3x.

grabe at nakakabahala but wala kang magawa.

enjoy the downpour! since wala tayong choice, i-enjoy na lang di ba?

You Belong With Me...Little One's Version

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the little one singing with the new Taylor Swift song called: You Belong with Me ... acapella She's a big TS fan right now so that's all I'm hearing around the house lately. The little one's video is far from perfect but I'm a proud Mama. She recorded this all on her own so pardon the little 'booboos/mistakes' she made while recording/singing. Enjoy! If you're not familiar with the song, here's the link to the official video .

Paid Blogging....

 ...is that still even a thing today? I stopped blogging actively several years ago...so now I'm like starting all over again.  I don't even know what to post anymore. A lot has changed since I started this blog in 2008. Yep, that's how long ago it's been. Back then I just wanted to write whatever. I was already a WAHM - Work at Home Mom when I started this blog and that's how my blog title came about. I started doing work-at-home jobs as early as 2002. I had a handful of different jobs I was juggling at that time so blogging was just really something I did during my free time. After a while I did paid blogging. I did that for a few years. I tried to do it as much as I could but my 'real' jobs had to be my priority so my blogging had to take a back seat. In retrospect, that may be the reason why I slowly lost interest in doing it. I tried going back to it every now and then, but the 'mojo' is just not there so I stopped altogether but opted to keep m...
