Molds in Air ducts

My husband concern when we were looking for a country house and was built late 60's if there's molds in the foundation. Like the same problem with the vacuum cleaner when got the mold in air ducts. Sure it won't give you clean results as you thought it would be. That's one reason we change and bought our vacuum cleaner cause it's annoying do keep redoing our cleaning all the time

Great minds think alike!

I always said this saying when I encounter people who think similar of what I was, am thinking that time. I have couple of friends, actually also families what we can think exact words at the same time. So amazingly comprehended without talking about it. This is very interesting definition: Meaning Literal meaning. Origin 'Great minds think alike' isn't especially old as proverbs go, but the thought behind it dates from at least the early 17th century. The impressively named Dabridgcourt Belchier wrote this in Hans Beer-Pot, 1618: Though he made that verse, Those words were made before. Good wits doe jumpe. That citation uses 'jump' with a meaning long since abandoned in everyday speech, that is 'agree with; completely coincide'. Laurence Sterne repeated that usage in Tristram Shandy, 1761: Great wits jump: for the moment Dr. Slop cast his eyes upon his bag the very same thought occurred. The 'think alike' version wasn't found in print until some time after that. The earliest example that I have found is in Carl Theodor von Unlanski's biography The woful history of the unfortunate Eudoxia, 1816: It may occur that an editor has already printed something on the identical subject - great minds think alike, you know. Thomas Paine, the English-born revolutionary who became one of the founding fathers of the USA, like many today, had a different response to the idea that 'great minds think alike', i.e. "No, they don't". He expressed that opinion in the 1792 political pamphlet The Rights of Man, edition 2 : I do not believe that any two men, on what are called doctrinal points, think alike who think at all. It is only those who have not thought that appear to agree. http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/great-minds-think-alike.html

Mens Yoga

I encourage my husband to do exercise daily as possible. He is not getting younger anymore and he needs to keep himself fit. He has 2 years to reach 40 years old. Life gonna be tougher as we grow older and we need to be physically fit and healthy for our family. This mens yoga might good option exercise for him. I might recommend it for him to try at least aside from jogging.

A dancing boy


My boy, whatever music he hears he can't help it but to dance! He don't care where he at and who are around him. Dance, dance, baby! He has the confidence and I'm so glad our prayers been answered. I know, most of you will say, that it's natural to kids to show off who they are and what their talents are. But I'm sure you encountered children who are not do or show their talents with other people unless just you and the people they knew. My child kinda party maker. He like to show what he got and what he can do. Which for me is amazing and very entertaining. Like when my friend and I had get together and did some karaoke. While my friends were singing my son just got in the middle and started dancing and spinning. Oh well, that the moves he knew so far. Or maybe, I am just a proud momma! hehehe. I am more excited and enthusiast what my son been showing off.

Favorite Electric guitar

Once, my hubby had to give one of his electric guitars to a dear friend he met. This guy is a Filipino who admired one of my hubby's guitar collection. It was hard decision he made but he believe it was God convection to lead him to gave that away. His friend told him that he like that guitar so much and he wished he could afford to buy one just like it. That night, my hubby could not slept and kept thinking, battling if he should gave that away. The next morning he made a decision to give one of his favorite guitar. And, he never regretted cause he got one which better and he that he really, really like the most now.

Happy Easter 2013!!!

This year we celebrate our Easter weekend differently as normal. Our son, spent weekend with his grandparents while hubby and I stay home and just doing our thing together. We missed him so much as we admit but it's good to have a great quality time together as husband and wife. When I came home last night and hubby took me to Buffalo Wild wings to just sit down and talk at the bar and ate some buffalo wings. A little things that we did, not much money to spent but I enjoyed it. We came home after an hour and fired up a movie to watch. Then we went to bed really late but we slept in since the boy are not with us to wake us up. Generally, we had a great time. We did some cleaning today, went to dropped off baby stuff to friend's house, then off for some shopping spree for me and ate at Italian restaurant. It was a great night experience of aloneness again. Can't wait to see our little man tomorrow. We can spend the next weekend with the whole family again.

Grand dad's boy

Can you tell he captured Grand Dad's heart? He is was with them last weekend. My sis-in-law took the boy half way to met up with the grandparents. The old folks joy to hang out and spend time with their grandchild. SO I think, once a month he has to live in the country side for at least 2 days. This picture was taken at Walmart pinebluff. He loved to play and listen witht he music stuff in the kids area. So granddad took him and let him play a little bit while Grandmom and Aunt zeezee pick up his stuff. What a joy to see that he knows who are his family and how he enjoy to be around all of us. We sure blessed and happy to see the grandparents spoil him and loved him more than he knows.

Gurkha cigars

What is about being famous gurkha cigars? I could not understand why there are a lot of people still hook with this vices when they know it's dangerous for their health? What's the best thing solution or on how to quit smoking? The best advice I heard from 5 years old kid (our Pastor grandson), don't try it. Lol. That was pretty good advice isn't it? You know and heard that your health won't be benefit so there are no reason to spend your earning for unuseful stuff. Invest your money in your health, eat right food and healthy stuff for better living and healthy lifestyle.

Epiphone wilshire

On Sunday, my hubby give guitar lessons. So far, he have 2 students who are taking classes from him. He enjoy it especially when he sees them improving and learning. He would advice them to stop coming if it seems playing guitar is not their calling. I asked him about epiphone wilshire. How that make thier guitar sound different from other kind. As hubby said, each kind has special and different sounds and it's up to you what you like much.

Bari sax

How cool when you are one who knows how to play this bari sax. Though, this is not too appealing instrument to me but I admire those people who know and good playing this kind of music instrument. When my hubby and I had the opportunity to watch the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra we enjoy everything in it. We can't wait to be given another free ticket and enjoy the show again. And, we are looking forward to take our son on this kind of show as well. We can't wait to see his facial expression and to hear his comments about it.

Every Minute

No dull moment when you spend every minute with the person who captured our heart. My son is growing up though sometimes I get tired from working so many hours every week and taking care the household chores but having my son make a difference. He lighten us up when storm come. God truly blessed our household with little boy who is very energenic, smart and a happy one. When he spend weekend with his grandparents, me and hubby enjoy the company alone but in the other hand we can't help it but missing him. We mimick all his expressions and words. I think that's naatural for all those parents who are raising toddler. For us every words that he learn to speak and new things that he do are precious. Who would thought, that you can act like them at all. That was fun!!! We can silly in natural way and have a happy life. The time flies too fast and we can stop him from growing. We just enjoy every minute, every moment with him. Soon, time will come that he would resist to sleep in our bed anymore and totally become independent. Time will come that he will not beg for hugs and kisses and he is now. It's funny how he whine for kisses and hugs from us (me and his daddy). Of course, we have to give that right away. Ain't that sweet:-)?

Draw Slides

My son, is a daddy's helper. He likes to do what his daddy doing especially using the hardware tools and other stuff. The draw slides would be exciting for him to keep some of his stuff. The funny is we can find some of his toys everywhere in the house. Under the couch, the bed in the bathroom and other places that you won't expect. Oh well, that maybe that's how to raise a toddler child. On the other hand, he give us so much joy in our heart.

Ray Ban

I was in the tropical place with my son for over 2 weeks. Though, I was born and raised over there but being in the other country for five years my stay in my homeland seems different now. The sun was hotter and the climate change was shocking. My son heat rash got bad and he didn't know what to do to ease that feeling. I was frustrated in somewhat yet glad to see my family especially my parents. Of course, I was just silent of what I felt. Drinking fresh juices and ate fresh fruits are refreshing actually that made our stay remarkable. I'm so glad my son able to met my other side of family now he remembered them. We just need to ready to have ray ban original wayfarer the next time. My sunglasses broke already!

Jo first trip to the Philippines


I was to see my parents and my sibling once again after 5 years.  Of course, the day they anticipated to see my son was more remarkable with them.  They loved and enjoyed him so much!!! They can't get enough of him but we have to go back home where we belong, lol. Yes, we did a short visit in Philippines.  My Dad was very ill before the year 2012 end.  I made a decision to go home and visit them that they will know my child as well.  They were all excited and glad to see us two...as parents you are happy to see your children once again after so many years.  They were more excited to see their grandson from me. 

My son embraced the culture really quick and it seemed has no problem to immerse himself in the new culture- I'm proud of him!  He even knew how to fill the basin with water and get in there.  That's how we bath the little children in the Philippines. I mean in typical filipino community.

Though, our visit was short but we had fun...the next time I do hope Johan it will be even more better and we can get chance of touring around more.  And I do hope the weather will cooperate too as well.

Drug Rehab Facility

After the massive killing at CT Elementary school the other day, I'm hoping that government officials though something about securities of public places. Lately, everywhere are not safe anymore. Suicidal people wanted to kill others before killing themselves. Thouse need to be in drug rehab facility need to take care. And, those who has problem or their loveones is mentally ill they need to consider to put them in rehabilitation center. No more killing especially those incconent ones.

Ski Sweaters

I promised my hubby after my son and I trip to Philippines next month we will plan to have a ski trip the next winter. That make him excited. So we better start shopping for Ski Sweaters for me and the boy since hubby has a gear already. Be nice to shop after the season cause all the price are going down. Also, we will start looking around an airfare prices. We all 3 have own seat in the plane. It would be a blast for Johan to learn how to ski so soon, also for me. Yeahhh!!!

Volleyball gifts

Not very long that me and hubby will be busy taking our boy for ball games. I want him to try anything until he will find out what he likes. Ballgames??? That's one of our choice that we are heading on soon. But, we will start from soccer ball. So, we are not thinking any volleyball gifts anytime soon. I want to get him a soccer ball that he can start kicking it in the backyard. It's a good place to start and unexpensive.

A time for everything!

Before the thanksgiving day, my father was admitted to the hospital. His lungs had water, he got a heart failure, mal function kidney. That was tough on me being away. I can't help it but being emotional and do what I can do. I told both my supervisor and manager that I am going to take a leave of absence from work soon. I need to go home with my son to see my Dad and the rest of the family. All my brothers effort to go and spend time with both of my parents. My father able to see his little grand daughter. Though, we were not all of there yet but to see my parents how happy that is priceless. Finally, my son and I passport are here and we also booked our flight from Little Rock to Manila. We are almost be in a very long flight. Praying that my son will enjoy his first flight and a very long being inside the plane. So thankful, he is been learning about airplanes latetly.
