Very Busy Life

I got really busy for the past few days. Last Wednesday, we went to the store to buy some groceries, Thursday was our Family Thanksgiving, Friday, i was with my dear friends and went to our friend's Thanksgiving party. And later today, Hubby and i are going to take our son to a train ride. He is excited about it, he has been telling us how excited he is to ride the train. And today is the day that we are going to ride, he is been waiting for this day.

But anyway, i really had fun last night with my dear friends, we sang and we danced. And of course, to remember what happened last night, we took some pictures as our friendship's keepsake. Here they are!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Before i go to bed i wanna make sure that i leave my greetings here in my blog to my avid readers. Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving some thoughts to my entries. I truly appreciate all your thoughts and concerns. And because you guys are very kind to me, all i wish for you is to have a very happy Thanksgiving day tomorrow! Enjoy the holiday and don't eat too much Turkey Lurkey! lols!

My Christmas Wishlist

I am not really into wearing dresses a lot. But i just came across to a website that has so many sales that can make me like crazy. I have been eyeing some of their beautiful products that i want to get. I have some samples below of their products that i would like to get for myself but since paid blogging is not doing very good nowadays, i couldn't buy them yet. Although i must say that i am very lucky and blessed today but i am referring the days had passed that i haven't got any, not even a penny lols! Well, for you to see the wish list i want to get for me, here it is! So whad yah think guys? Do you think i will look good on this black dress matching with black cute boots?

Never Did Expect This

I talked to my husband last night telling him how much i feel bad because i wasn't able to send my dear mother some financial support last month and this month due to my blogging is not doing good nowadays. Although my mother understood my situation, but i just couldn't help but to feel bad about it. But today i am really happy knowing that i making good money, good enough than what i am expecting to get today. Haven't get some opportunities lately and now i got some, should i say i am lucky today? Well, i better hurry and post this interim so i can post another opportunities!

Interesting Hobby

I just couldn't stop myself from scrapping now. As i learned the techniques to it little by little, i become more interested to learn more so i can scrap like the what i call them EXPERTS. I really love their scrapping and everytime i view their design layouts, it makes me wanna make my own more. I love this hobby and it got me more excited to make more and learn more to it. I hope that in the future, i can design some layouts like the experts.

Anyway, these photos was taken when i just barely got there in Philippines. This was in my aunt Fely's house in Cebu. Her daughter Mariz (wearing stripe green top), celebrated her 16th birthday. This is just some member of my dear beloved family namely Mariz my cousin, Ate Josie my aunt(my mother's youngest sister), Tita Mods my sister in-law( my brother's wife), Jamaica my niece(Tita Mods and my brother's daughter), Lola(Nanay's mother), and of course yours truly. I got big family and i love them all.

Windy Thursday

I was gonna go to the store earlier with my son to buy some groceries but i decided not to because it is too windy outside. We get strong wind here so often because we are on top of the mountain. The elevation here is like almost 5000 feet high above sea level. I don't like going outside and the wind is so strong. Even my son noticed it and told me to look outside from the window. Christmas is getting so close and the air is just freezing for me already. I can't believe that it is Thursday already. one more working day and hubby won't be working for the whole week next week due to Thanksgiving holiday.

Before Christmas we have to celebrate the Thanksgiving first. I think we are not going to celebrate the holiday so special. We'll keep it simple since that day is also my husband's birthday. And i am hoping that next week is not gonna be windy like today so we can go out and have dinner somewhere. When it's windy like this, i just love to curl up my feet inside the sheet and drink some hot chocolate milk like what i am doing now.

Cute Little Puppy

A friend came over yesterday and she brought a cute little puppy with her. She said she just bought it and she is going to give it to her husband since her husband's birthday is coming up so soon. That reminds me, and so as my husband's birthday is coming up in about two weeks from now! I am so bad i that almost forgot about his birthday! I had so many things that is going on in my mind. But i am glad it's not too late yet. Well, i haven't planned anything about his birthday yet, maybe i'll just take my family to go out and have dinner, nothing so special like preparing some delicious food and invite some friends to come over the house. This time, i'll make it simple for my dear husband's special day.

Anyway, back to the puppy, he is a cute little pitbull. My friend said that he is just 6 weeks old. As far as i know, pitbull are big and scary looking dog. But this one that i held in my arms is just too cute! Even my son was liking this cute pup. If you are a dog lover, can you resist this cute looking pitbull pup? Take a look!

My Little Nipa Hut

I am not so sure if i showed you this little Nipa Hut of mine already, back home. This is my rest place during when i was at my mother's house. This little hut is just right in front of her yard. Too hot for my son to stay inside my mother's house during noontime so i decided to have this instead so he can take a nap, it is more fresh and open. But my dearest mom won't let us sleep there at night, she said let my brothers sleep there instead.

I'm Sick! I Am Ill!

Yes, i am sick! I am ill or i am not feeling too well. That's it! I don't know where i got this viral infection since i hardly go outside and prefer to stay here inside the house, but right now i am really sick! I am so sorry guys, i was gonna post my contest today in my other site but i am not feeling good to do anything at this moment. My taste buds is not that good either, tastes bitter and i keep on sneezing and my nose is watery, yikes!

I cannot stay here in front of my lappy so long or my eyes will pop out because of my terrible headache. Please forgive me fellow bloggers, i need to make myself well first, so i can do the things here better. I hope you all understand me. And thank you for all the bloggers who've been visiting me everyday. Thank you so much again and i hope i will be better as soon as possible.

I love the new look now and hope my visitors here will love the new look of this blog of mine. Thank you so much Pretty for making this lovely layout for me, i really admire your creativity, thank you once again!

A Little Worried

Well, ever since i got back in blogging i realized that there is not much opportunities i can get in paid blogging. I have asked some of my friends about it and they told me that it has been like this since i left here and went to Philippines. It's really difficult for me to get even one opportunity like five bucks at least. You know i am kind of little worried about it because this is a little help for me, i can buy the things i want and i can send some money to my family back home which is a very big help for my mother for her medicine maintenance.

I have been trying to gain more traffic so my real rank won't be that high and i can grab more offers. It seems that paid blogging is not doing any good nowadays and i am worried about it. I was thinking about it last night that if this is not gonna get better soon, then i might just find a part time job for me so i will be occupied and not be idle so i won't be bored and depressed. My son is going to school next school year i hope and by then i can find a part time job while he is at school so i can still support my mother's medicine maintenance. I need to find some other ways aside from this blogging though. Of course i still blog even though paid blogging is not gonna get better, but still hoping it will so i don't have to get dressed and go for an outside job.

Wishing She Is Mine

Before i flew back here, two days before, Twerlyn and i met again in her place. The first time i met her with her husband was in Cebu Doctor's Hospital. She visited me there when i gave birth. I went to her place because i promised to see her once again with her new born baby Arianna. I just couldn't hold my tears when i finally held the baby in my arms. I was wishing the baby in my arms was my baby Deanne. I so missed my little girl and every time i see these pictures, there's always something that clogs my heart that can stop me from breathing. How i wish she is mine, but i guess not. Twerlyn and her husband are surely blessed for having Arianna in their life.

These pictures was taken at Twerlyn's place, her husband took these photos and look at my son's reaction when he saw his mom crying. He seem can't understand why i cried.

Palawan Get Away

When hubby went to Philippines, he took us his family everywhere in Philippine islands such as around Bohol and in Palawan which was my first time to step on that very beautiful place. At first i was kinda hesitant to go there really since i heard that there was a foreigner couple was being kidnapped and the man got killed during the attempt rescue. But thanks goodness nothing happened to us, we are safe. I was just amazed and there are no words that could really describe this very beautiful place, it is more than Paradise for me. In fact i just posted some pics in my Sweet Paradise blog for you to see how beautiful is the place i am talking about. And this picture below was taken the night we got to Palawan. That was our very first night there.

Starting Scrapping

I have been so busy lately. Doing some house chores and blogging at the same time. I can't live without checking my sites since it's part of my daily routine. Also to make a little bit of money from this hobby makes me feel like i am helping myself to get occupied and not to think depressing things. And one thing what i am up to lately is this digital scrapping. I love this scrapping even though i am just barely starting it. I am learning things slowly from this hobby and i hope that i will be good on this soon. I would like to be the other blogger friends that does this scrapping very well. Anyway, i made another one, very simple for i just have said that i am just starting on this kind of hobby. Hope you guys like this.

Not Potty Ready Yet?

I am having problem taking my son to the potty every time he wants to poop. He feels like he is not comfortable being in a potty and he'd rather hide than to sit in his potty. I don't have any idea why he hides every time he is going to poop. When time he will tell me that he is going to hide, i know already what he's gonna do then later on i will just have to ask him if he's done. The first time he did that, we had a big fight because he doesn't want me to get near with him and clean his behind. He kept telling me he is yucky and stinky. So i also kept telling him that, that pooping is normal and of course it is stinky and yucky that's why i have to clean him so he won't be stinky and yucky anymore.

He does knows how to go to the bathroom and pee in the toilet and he doesn't wear diaper no more during the day, just at night during when he goes to sleep. But letting him poop in his potty is my big problem with my dear son. I hope he will realize soon that it is better to sit in the potty than to hide every corner of our house when he feels like he is going to poop. As you see his picture above, he was crying sitting in his own potty because i tried to tell him to sit there and won't stand up until i told him to do so. I kind of felt bad though but he has to learn, he won't learn if i will tolerate him all the time.

Hair Rebonded

Got my hair fixed before i left Philippines, hubby thought that it is the best time to get my hair pampered since there is not much salon here that does what i like to be done in my hair. It was a very long process since my hair is long, it took like 5 hours for the hairstylist to get my hair looking so shiny and smooth. I am loving the new looks of my hair now, it is straight all the way to my behind and looking so smooth and silky. Every time i brush my hair i noticed that it is more bouncy now unlike before. So for you to see my hair i inserted some pictures below.

What A Sweet Hubby

Like i mentioned to my previous post, our flight was kinda messed up. So we stayed in the hotel in Hongkong which is free accommodation for us from Cathay Pacific Airlines. I would say that i have been to Hongkong because i went out from their Airport and stayed in hotel with my son for several hours. I love it there because their hotel is so nice and they also have very delicious dinner which is very unusual food for me but i actually liked it.

So we got to LA late too, since our flight was messed from Cebu. I got to LA airport at around 9 o'clock in the evening and stayed at delta ticketing office to wait for our flight on the next day at around 6 o'clock in the morning. As you can read, i waited for several hours there, that was exhausting enough not to mention i had my son with me and our luggage too. I cannot go anywhere for i cannot drag my son along wherever i want to go and also our heavy luggage. So i just sat there and waited for our flight.

When i got there in Salt Lake City Airport, hubby saw me right away and he took our luggage from the conveyor. He said he got our luggage but i didn't respond to him because i was really exhausted and wanted to lay down my tired body. Even when hubby was driving to home, i didn't say anything. Just sat at the passenger's seat and i wonder my eyes around if there is any changes since i left. Soon as we got here inside the house i went straight to our bed and found something in there on top of it. There's roses and chocolates! Oh i turn around and saw hubby behind me, waiting for me to say something. I hugged him so tight and thanked him for being so good to me and being so thoughtful. He said he was sorry for me for being stranded in LA for several hours. It's not his fault but he is asking apology for what had happened to my flight. I kissed him and told him how much i love him.
