David in Sports

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:47:15 +0000

David is now in Grade One. And I am thinking about what sports he will get into when he grows up, or at least a little older. He is very skinny for now, mostly because of genetics, as I was also very skinny when I was young. He could probably be a good runner, as he runs pretty fast and actually likes running. He is also pretty active.

As I was browsing through the net, I have come across a site on coach gifts. And I realized that there really are a lot of gifts that one can give his coach. I think I will need to take note of this especially if in the very near future, David decides to get into sports.

Getting into Tight Budget

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 23:14:05 +0000

Being a wife and a mother of three, I am obliged to tightly budget our finances and buy only the necessities and some “wants” if the budget permits. I regularly go to supermarket to buy some household needs, but I am sometimes pissed off because some of the items displayed have no tags and it’s hard for me to calculate my groceries in advance.

That was before, because now, most of the department stores, grocery stores and supermarkets have a stand by barcode scanner, where it displays the value of the items even before I get to the cashier to pay. In this way, I’ll be able to know the price of the item in advance. I’m glad they have invented these types of scanners. Ah, the price of being in a tight budget.

Love Theater Plays

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:51:01 +0000

Who doesn’t love watching theater plays? Well, I do! I love to watch theater plays back in high school and now that I am married and all, I still want to watch professional theater plays especially musical ones like Miss Saigon, Wicked, Les Miserables and more.

Anyway, I was hoping that someday when I am able to visit my cousins in the US, I would be able to watch theater plays in New York especially Wicked. My cousin said she will be willing to pay for the theater tickets if I could come and visit her. Isn’t that cool?

Now, the problem is, how can I get myself to the US? LOL!

Problem Sink

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:41:54 +0000

I have been checking out kitchen sinks online. I am planning to have our sink remodeled into something beautiful and spacious. My mom and I are having a hard time with our current kitchen sink. It is too shallow and small that is why wash plates, pots and pans become a tedious task. Aside from that, we don’t have enough space to move our things. A real bummer!

Anyway, I hope our landlord deducts the expenses from our monthly rent.

PC or External Hard Drive

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:09:14 +0000

My computer is working slowly now. I think it is because of all the image files I have stored inside it. Anyway, I am planning to either buy an external hard drive for this or buy a new computer. As we all know, my computer and the internet is my source of income. And if they get busted or disconnected, I will be left penniless and without income!

So, what do you think is the best solution? A new set of personal computer or an external hard drive?

The Golden Turtle

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:23:25 +0000

When I was a child, I used to go with my father when he plays chess with our neighbor’s house. Though they don’t have children at my age (most of their children are all grownups), I enjoy staying at their house because I get to view all our neighbor’s boxing trophies and medals. As you can see, our neighbor once held boxing titles in his younger days.

Aside from that, I get to stay and play at his golden Volkswagen where he has installed a lot of VW accessories which I found fascinating. Ever since, I always find Volkswagen a very fascinating car. We call it “pagong” in our language which means turtle.

When new cars came in, I almost forgot how I was so attracted with the golden turtle my neighbor had. I thought that the design was no longer on trend when I reached high school and college but when I got married and had kids, I find the old Volkswagen design cute again especially when the color is no longer golden or basic colors. I saw a lot of new designs such as purple, pink and even mixed. They made the old turtle car on trend again especially with the younger generation when they started pimping up the body color.

Anyway, if I had financial resources, I am willing to buy a Volkswagen in PINK! LOL!

Chocolate Lover

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 20:57:36 +0000

To be honest, I am a real chocolate lover. In fact, most of the times I buy chocolates every time I go to the grocery store. I love working while indulging with one yummy chocolate bar because eating chocolates also acts like my coffee to me.

Anyway, I am not really particular with the brand. I just love chocolates. That is why somehow, even in my age right now, I am still hoping that my husband would send me flowers with chocolates even just on my birthday. He hasn’t done that in a very long time!

Moderate Eating

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 23:01:18 +0000

For a week now, I am seeing a lot of acne zits on my face. Not only that but I am also having them on my scalp which is really irritating. Anyway, I can’t blame anyone else for these zits because I know I am the one who is solely causing them by not sleeping right and eating too much oily foods like pork dishes. No matter how many times I use the best acne medication if I don’t moderate my sleep and oily food intake, these acne breakouts will be a regular gig for me.

Well, as for sleeping is concern, I try to get as much as I can but having three children and one of them is a baby, you can’t get that much as of now. But for pork dishes, that is where I am so guilty of. Eating pork dishes is my favorite, I only eat fish if they are cooked as tinola or my all time favorite kinilaw.

So, what do you think is the best way to moderate eating when it is my only favorite hobby?!

Read Before Taking It In

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:26:16 +0000

Diet pills are becoming a fad lately and many are selling it anywhere, especially those that are said to be made from herbal plants. These kinds of diet pills and other diet – promoting food supplements must be checked properly specifically if it is approved and registered by the Bureau of Food and Drugs or Food and Drug Administration. If it is not, whatever it promises to provide you, never take it for this can pose potential harm to your health because the content of that certain pills or drugs have not been tested and proven to be safe for human consumption.

It is alright to aspire to lose weight by taking in diet pills, but always be careful of what you put inside your mouth…

Finally Up!!

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 08:37:32 +0000

Finally, I am now hosted under my new hosting service at www.pinaymommy.net!! I am glad it propagated on time for me to make an article about 108R00725. You see, it is really hard to access your blog if the internet couldn’t pick up the new location of your blog. So, propagation usually takes 24-48 hours depending on the place where you are located.

Anyway, I am glad that I am back online. Now, it’s time to work, work and work!
