Finished With Number Games 1-70
Pregnancy Will Now Suit All Of Us
A member of the egroup that I am a member of is asking the same thing now. Although she had more guts because I did not ask it to the group back then. I found out that there is a skin line that is dedicated to pregnant women. This beauty line called Beaute de Maman is already being used by movie stars who are pregnant. That must have been the reason why these pregnant movie stars really look beautiful and they are even more blooming than they ever were.
It is always nice when people tell you that pregnancy suits you. So if you want to order now, you can. If I am pregnant now, I would order immediately. Well actually, as soon as I get pregnant, I will.
Fourth Quarter Assessment Exams For The Nursery Level: Scope And Schedule
Mar 10 - Writing
Mar 11 - Reading
Mar 12 - Language
Mar 13 - Math
For writing, she needs to study both the upper and lower case letters from Aa - Zz and numbers 1-20. For reading, she has to study the initial and final sounds of the following letters: A-Z and CVC. For language, topics would include this-that, over-below, in-out, behind-in, front and beside -between. For math, the topics would include numbers 1-20, more or less, equal and not equal and addition.
So goodluck to the both of us.
Another Skill I Have Always Wanted To Learn
Book Of Numbers 1-30 and Uppercase Letters


I was actually ready because I bought the next batch of workbooks already. So there would not be any lapses when it came to her workbooks.
Congrats Cheska! I am so very proud.
Choose Me Maver! Choose Me!
The funny thing is I am excited to win the smartbro prepaid broadband kit even if I already have a plug-it (smartbro din). I can always give the old one away and use this one for the times when I have to go out of the house with my laptop in tow.
Maver, choose me! pick me! love me! Hahahaahaha!
Happy 1st Birthday Gossip Gehl!
Our Constant Companion
However there will come a time when it will no longer fit my daughter. I am sure she would love to have an electric wheelchair. But I sincerely doubt we will buy that for her. She has to develop her strength and stamina and having wheelchairs and strollers make her want to sit in it all the more. Although, it would come in handy for whenever my husband and I are the ones who are tired. There is a mall near our place where you can rent out electric vehicles (similar to the wheelchairs) so you can stroll around the mall in style and you do not have to walk anymore and just sit on it when you feel tired and still remain mobile. It is perfect for senior citizens. Dangerous though if children are the ones who use it because they tend to bump into people.

Be Aware Of What's Happening Around You
Another thing that I am paranoid about now is the drugs that we give to our children. Do you know that Raptiva can cause brain infections? (insert sigh here) Everybody, not just parents, should know everything that they can about Raptiva PML and its side effects. There are a growing number of children who are afflicted with brain infection because they were given the drug, not knowing that it will give them Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy as one of it's side effects. FDA already called out a warning against the drug. Everybody should be aware of that.
If you are one of those who are afflicted with the disease or your child got it because of the drug, click on http://www.youhaverights.com/dangerous-drugs/raptiva .
Single Lei!
Go For It
So anyways, for the single gals and guys out there, do not lose hope in finding that special someone. Do not discount the power of the internet. There have been many successful internet relationships that worked even if the couples do not care to admit it. It works! You know why? Because you get to know the real person first before you fall in love with the outside appearance. Sometimes, it no longer even matters what they look like because you are in sync with everything else. So go and join and the passion search. Registration is free so it does not hurt to try right. Carpe Diem! Go fo it. Find your passion. Find your love. Find your life.

Meet Ups Are Always Fun
Not Once, But Twice

We were able to celebrate Valentine's Day twice! Yes, you heard me right. We wanted to avoid the crowds on Valentines that is why we ate earlier than we were supposed to. In other words, we ate at around 5:30 pm at Gerry's. It's what I call a pre-dinner celebration. Lol!

The next day, after church, we went straight to the mall and had a post Valentine celebration at Sbarro's. Just look at my daughter waving at me while I was taking a picture of the restaurant.

Oh and the church prepared something for the couples that day. The husband was supposed to offer a heart shaped balloon to the wife and kiss her. This is my husband kissing me. Good thing, the camera was angled in such a way that nobody can see the kiss. Just look at my daughter looking at us. Doesn't she look all stressed out?

This is my friend hazel being kissed by her husband Bernard (or was it the other way around). Lol!

A Group Of Red
Already Hanging Out
Actually, we were at the restaurant beside Starbucks, so we were looking at them the entire time and we were all amused that they wanted to sit down at starbucks instead of staying at claw daddy where we were at. They already have their own world sans the parents.

Ten How's
How did you get one of your scars? I was running too fast that I fell and scraped my knee.
How did you celebrate your last birthday? We went to Ace Water Spa, ate out and celebrated it also at home.
How are you feeling at this moment? So very sleepy.
How did your night go last night? It was pretty busy.
How did you do in high school? I was okay, I could have done better though.
How did you get the shirt you’re wearing?I bought it at greenhills.
How often do you see your best friend? I don't see her at all.
How much money did you spend last month? I don't keep tabs on my expenses.
How old do you want to be when you get married? I wanted to get married at 25.

Looking Your Best
That is why it is always best to be prepared for those times. That is why holsted jewelry comes in handy. Even if you are wearing the most simple of outfits, a little black dress for a family dinner, you can always spice it up with one of the pieces that you can buy from Holsted Jewelers. You will simply look your best every time.
Jolt's Birthday At Claw Daddy
Little did they know that since we (cheska, myself and romel) arrived earlier than them, we ate a little. We bought sabrett hotdogs. I love the hotdogs of sabrett. I had my first taste of sabrett when my mom, myself and other relatives were in new york. My husband was worried though. He thought it would ruin our appetite. Of course, it didn't. We ate as much as the rest of them did... probably even more. LOL!


Here were are munchin' away at Claw Daddy. Everything was delicious! From the salad to the kids meal of fish and fries and chicken to the crabs, ribs and sausages, etc! It was divine! The weight gain after was worth it.
Happy Birthday Jolt and Congratulations!
Am Still Awake

Dining In
The thing is I hope we all have what Denver has because people from Denver just needs to look at the site westword.com for Denver Restaurants and they will be able to find themselves a place to eat at. It's complete with pictures and it even has reader recommendations. This site is a dream come true for all food lovers.
Field Trip 3rd Stop - Science Centrum
We were all tired at that time (that is why there are fewer pictures) but we still had fun checking out everything. I seriously got dizzy at the House of Fun. As in! I thought cheska and myself will never get out.
There were also a lot of students at that time. You have to watch your kid really well. It was all very confusing because of the sheer number of people. A small child could easily get lost.
Field Trip 2nd Stop - Manila Ocean Park
Since we just went there last January, the memories of the different kinds of sea life were still fresh. So what I watched instead was how my daughter interacted with her friends. Aliw! She has her own circle of friends. She has a life! LOL! It kinda made me nostalgic too as it made me realize how she is growing up.
Anyways, she acted as the tour guide to her friends this time. She joked with them, played with them and even had an argument with one of them.
Since we were not able to try the boat ride during Eli's birthday. That was what we tried this time. For 150 pesos each, the ride was not worth it. But my daughter had fun and so had I .... It was fun chatting with the moms of my daughter's classmates. Kwela!
Helpful Site On Web Design
Personally, I depend on the templates available on the web. If I could make my own designs that would be great. So the site will clearly help me make my own templates. I no longer have to depend on others. Hours will not be spent looking for a template that is right for me. My sistes will reflect the real me. So yey for sites such as this! I have visited the site and I will surely come back for more lessons on web design. It will not only help me personally but I think I can use this skill to earn more bucks! I love it!
It is definitely About Web Design for Idiots


Field Trip First Stop - Philippine Airforce Museum
When we got to the bus and the bus was already moving. I was like OMG! I am going to have a migraine the entire ride. It was an educational bus ride. So there was a tourist guide at the front of the bus talking about anything under the sun! The kids
had fun I guess. They were very participative! I developed a migraine. It was too early for me.
Anyways, we went around and around. I was explaining to my daughter how the pilots lived and why there were guns and all. She was really genuinely interested in it. There was even an old plane where you can go inside and take pictures in. It was smelly but the fact that it was so old makes up for it. My daughter wanted to go out immediately. Hahaha!
Since she showed interest in museums, my husband and I resolved to bring her to more museums at our own time.
These are some of the pictures taken.
When I Met You
If you get the chance to watch it, do so. You will not be frustratingly disappointed (that was the reaction of a lot of movie goers to their first movie).
I know, I know the trailer is bad. However, do not judge the movie based on the trailer alone. The movie is quite good. After I saw When I Met You, I told my sister.. this should have been her first movie.

Dreaming Of Winning
I can have all that and much more. I really should place my bet.

Spreading The Love
Love Is In The Air
Guess what greeted me this morning?


My husband is so sweet, isn't he? I swear I did not have any idea. I woke up at 10:30 am and carried my daughter to the bathroom. This bouquet of red roses was beside the fishbowl that was on the bathroom sink. It was such a beautiful sight. My daughter and I were so surprised.
... and of course he did not disappoint. He also gave me chocolates. *sigh*

He knows naman how much I love him. Happy Valentines Romel! Thank you for making me feel special with the flowers and chocolates. It is always nice to be surprised once in a while.
Oh ayan kinain ko yung sinabi ko. Receiving Valentines card from the daughter makes me feel good. Receiving flowers and chocolates from the husband make me feel loved. Put them all together, the feeling is indescribable. Yun na.
May you all have a Valentines that as sweet and as romantic as mine is.

Bonding With Sisters
Even if the situation was less than favorable because of my aunt, it was a good afternoon for me. I miss bonding with my sisters and I hope we get to bond more often.

Happy Birthday Mavic!

J & K Are Getting Married
Anyways, even if it will be a year of preparation and planning. It does not hurt to start early. I remember planning for our wedding. It also took us a year to prepare. It is not an easy task. You should ask my husband. We were all over the place scouring and scouting for suppliers. That is why I love weddingchannel.com. It helped me make it as stress-free as possible.
This month is definitely a month for hearts. It is just like Christmas, you can actually feel it in the air.
Happy Valentines!
So my husband does not give me flowers anymore. I feel it is such a waste of money. They wilt anyway. I would appreciate it more if I receive chocolates instead. I do not know if we have plans tomorrow. In fact, I do not really care if we do. It is irritating to be with so many others, waiting for a table that takes forever to clear. Baah! Humbug! LOL! Maybe will just order in.. probably kfc or tapa king will do.
Anyways, I just want to say that my daughter made me feel extra special this year because she came home with this yesterday.....


Happy Valentines!

Go The Distance
My daughter needs to learn the song. That is why I am embedding it here so I do not have to look for it all the time. I think they have another presentation coming up. I can't wait.
I will place the lyrics later. I have so many things to finish today.
Issay Miyaki Is My All-Time Fave

Turbo Jammin' Like The Rest Of Us
At first she was at the back of the group with me but at the end of the turbo jam session, she was already beside her Tita B. It opened my eyes on how big she is now and how old I am. Hahaha!
So I better start savin' up for her college education. I hope she will be able to get into a good university. I am sure online universities at that time will be more popular than ever. Students will no longer have to go to the campus to learn.
Wishin' to have another baby this year. But this is another topic altogether.

Want Some Golfkurs?
The recent golf scandal which involved politicians and an old man with an underage boy had rocked the golf world. The politicians and their bodyguards ganged up on the old man and the minor that he was with. Personally, the politicians should have been removed from their respective positions. This is such a clear case of abuse and power. Anyways, based from the reports the boy does not want to play golf anymore. He was traumatized from the experience.
What happened was bizarre and it should not have happened. Golf is a very peaceful, it is a disciplined sport and it's supposed to be stress free. That is why it was a shock not only to everyone involved but to every one who loves golf. Fights never break out at golf courses.
There is a german golf portal that I know of. The site is everything about golf. The site sells golf equipment, gives tips, etc. You name it they got it. Do you know that you need to pass Platzreife before you can even play at a golf course in Germany? Maybe that is what we all need right here. So people who gets to play knows how to play and those who want to play should learn how to play first. Germans really take golf seriously that they even have a Golfurlaub which is a golf holiday.
So check out the site if you are interested for some Golfkurs which just basically means golf lessons.
Eli's 5th Birthday At Manila Ocean Park Tour Part 1
So when you enter the place, you will see a couple of small to medium size aquariums showcasing off different kinds of fish. This was outdoors.
Then the most interesting fish you can find were located indoors.. Part 2 to follow...
