Cloud 9?

I got a message in my friendster this morning from my friend in California. She told me that she is going to call me today and want me to talk to somebody's special in our hearts. It's Laarni Lozada the new Grand Star Dreamer of Pinoy Dream Academy season 2.

The phone rang for the first time I was hoping it was them but that was my hubby. I turned off my laptop thought that sis Mig didn't connect to Laarni. Besides, it's almost 1am in Philippines already. Laarni should be in bed at this time. I was lying on the couch and the phone rang again... my heartbeat goes fast, I'm a little nervous and I jumped off to reach the phone. Yes, it's Migette on the other line. She told me that my wish will be granted today. I can talk to Laarni on the phone now-she is on the other line. Woohooo! She was...hearing her soft, sweet voice I feel like on the cloud 9. I guess, this just a a feeling of being a fan. We talked and I introduced myself and told her we came in the same hometown. We spoke in our very own dialect and realizing what a small world. I have a friend that happens her friends too. Haaay, I am so excited of the release of her debut album soon.

Stem Cell Collection Made Easy

Every month women have a monthly menstruation that makes us loose a good bit of our blood. I personally have encountered tiredness, dizziness and even feeling weakened in my body; I could not even get rest. I’ll be glad when my body produces more blood to take the other blood’s place.

Making cards with family

Saturday evening after dinner with our uncle and aunt Lisa told us that we can make cards. She have all the materials on cards making. At first, I had a hard time starting it...I don't know exactly I'm going to do.

There's no specific occasion... Mom and Lisa tried to copy the design from the book I didn't. I wanna make my own design and style,lol.

It's fun to make cards with somebody though. Besides, we all had fun and enjoy the company together. We want to do it again soon when my parents-in-law will come and stay with us on weekend.

eDocAmerica Health Tip: The Bisphenol A Controversy

Coming on the heels of the National Toxicology Program's (NTP) recent report on the safety of bispheonl A (BPA), a type of polycarbonate plastic that is commonly used in food and drink packaging, a new study points to additional, previously unrecognized health concerns. Together, these reports create a body of information, while not proving causality, certainly raises the level of concern regarding human exposure to this ubiquitous plastic.

What are the health concerns related to BPA? Recently, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) released a report summarizing the potential health risks associated with BPA. There are at least two ways of interpreting this report. On one hand, the report reaffirmed concerns reported this spring that that BPA may have an effect on mammary glands and maturation of females during early puberty, as well as indicating several newer, potential health risks. On the other hand, the level of concern was relatively low, with none of the issues reaching a level higher than "some concern" on a 5-point scale with "some concern" representing the mid-point. The program concluded that more research is needed read more...

96 serving cake

My hubby forgot to took my birthday cake before he sliced it. As what we always said, late is better than never. This is the huge cake he ordered for a surprised party for me last Sunday 9/21/08.



He ordered this cake from Sam's club store. That was very smart idea he got from our Pastor's wife because it served a lot of people that day in the church. And, I was very surprised too. Imagine my hubby planned that party for me. It wasn't big as my last year birthday party that planned of our church friends but this year is very meaningful. Thank you Lord for a loving and sweet husband too.

Find local collision repair shops

Right now, my hubby is carpooling with his sister to go to work. We had to put our car in shop down in Southeast Arkansas to get some repairs. We had to do this before the timing belt would break and cause us to have to spend even more money. I asked my hubby why he would not get somebody near us here in Sherwood. He said it was better that we know who is working on our car. Someone that we trust! If you are getting major repair work done on your car, I suggested you take your car in to the expert’s collision repair shop. Find local collision repair shops near you like auto body yorba linda.

It's Fall!

The trees turn yellow and orange. Allergies started too,lol. One thing for sure another season is gone and we turn to a new one. I love all 4 season here but lately, I was just fascinating wearing spring and summer clothes. The other night while I was arranging my walk-in closet I was talking to myself and said "I wish summer is not over yet". My hubby heard me and asked what am I talking about. I told him haay, I am not ready to wear any winter clothes yet. He only laughed!

I had so much fun buying and wearing my summer clothes and I am not totally over yet. Summer clothes are lighter than winter clothes. But, I only have a choice to "wear clothes" to those clothes for winter keep myself warm. This weekend it started cooling off here in Arkansas but I can still enjoying wearing my summer clothes. The temperature is being fair so far. I like it!

Beach Cruiser Bicycles

Last year, I got my first bicycle. It was a birthday present from my parents-in-law. Before the tire went flat I rode it almost everyday to get my exercise. Sometimes my hubby and I ride our bikes together and go around our neighborhood- it’s a great time for us to be together and helps us to have a healthy lifestyle.

Have you heard about Beach Cruiser bicycles? They are some of the very best beach bikes. around. Cruiserstyle.com specializes in beach cruiser bicycles. This company was started by a guy who wanted an inexpensive beach bike for himself. And the cheapest option was to buy a whole container of them from China. He bought the whole container and sold the other bikes on eBay. Cruiserstyle.com has great prices and sells online or in their showroom in California. If you want to have this kind of bicycle, check out their website.

God Goes with Us

I fought the spirit of fear in past few days. I don't know exactly how it started but it just popped up in my mind something and I kept thinking over and over. My heart was filled of fear, fear to face the future. I can't help it but to cry and cry too. My hubby was worried so much about it. He checked me every now and then while was at work.

I had to fight that kind of spirit. I want to prove that the God I serve is a mighty God. I turn back and hold on the promise of the Lord once again. "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.” Genesis 28:15 NIV. Isn't that something? Isn't that God promised to watch over me every single time? Isn't that what he promised, he will do? My strenght get back and I feel much better after that realization.

New Look of Philippine Passport

I heard a lot of rumors that the old Philippine passport (the green passport) will no longer valid next year. I was worried a little bit about this because I still have 2 years before my green passport will expire. And, if this gonna happen I am not sure if I can go home next year to attend my brother's wedding. What is true about this? Well, the new passport is neat because it's magnetic. The immigration officer no need to stamp anymore; it has to be swipe in their machine to validate only. Isn't that cool?

When I was in Thailand before, every month I exit in Malaysia and the immigration officer of both countries demand of a magnetic passport from me. How we can do that? We were not in high-tech system yet. But, now the Philippines evolve into the next level. Here's the new look of the Philippine Passport.

Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred

Are you computer literate? I remember the first time I used a computer. It was when I was already in college. The country that I grew up in was so far behind when you speak of technology. Back in those days very few schools were fortunate enough to have computers. We had different facilities like a science laboratory; electronics, steno and typing class, but none of these had any computers. When I stepped into the real world, the world full of devices and technologies, everything worked much easier and quicker. What's the latest thing? Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred gives small businesses and advanced PC users the power to create documents, reports and e-mails three times faster than most people type -- with up to 99% accuracy. When I read about this all I could say was "Wow"! This is so cool. Making the job quicker and easy and it was proven to be up to 99% accurate and three times faster than the average typist.

Another offering of the software is Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Standard which allows you to talk to your computer and watch your spoken words instantly appear in documents, e-mail and instant messages. This is what I was telling my hubby, this is voice recognition software. Isn't that nice that while you are talking, you can see all those words you said? How I wish there's an instant translation for non English words that have been spoken. This is very interesting check out the NY Times Review of DNS10.






Fixing again?

while he was moving our yard few weeks ago he accidentally hit the blade in the rocks. It was twisted and could not cut the grass anymore. Now, our yard are pleeding to cut them very soon.

I told my hubby that we will get a new lawn mower to mow the yard but he said he will try to fox the problem again. It's too bad to throw the very nice and quality loan mower if we can fix it and the price is not that high. He's right! But when, he could fix and mow the yard- he said I will try to do it this weekend.

Well, I teach my hubby on how to save up some money,lol. I pray that he will fix it and that we can get back to mow our yard again. I know is already fall but our grass still growing and growing.

My Brother meet his future in-laws

Last month my brother went home from Oman to formally asked the hand of his fiancee. Actually his fiancee works at Riyadh until this moment as a Nurse and took a vacation. They met in Jeddah 2 years ago when my brothers works over there and they attended the same church.

Through the restriction of the country about relationship they made it secret and communicated through phone calls, emails and chat. That was tough, but they don't want be in trouble. God open the door for my brother to work in Oman. Another tough decision for both of them but my brother looked on the brighter side. Finally, they made a plan to get marry and hopefully his wife to be will move to Oman with him. I know there's a lot of open doors for nurses anywhere in the world. And, I believe she can find a better job when she decide to move with my brother. Whew! I'm looking forward to attend their wedding in Philippines next year too. When God allow he will provide the finances I need for the flight.

Debt Management

Two years ago were the most horrible years for my hubby concerning his credit. He was using his credit cards without thinking about the consequences of doing that. Yes, he had and still has a very good job, he was single, but even though he earned really good money he spent it like crazy. He was in a very bad debt situation. He maxed all of his credit cards out and had trouble paying on time and got high credit rates added. Take note that it was not only 1 or 2 credit cards but more…It was 6! Wow…Ouch…He realized after he received his credit cards statements that it was an extreme nightmare! The lesson he learned was to "be a wise spender". He underwent credit counseling to get a lower monthly payment and have his payoff time shortened. Good news! We are going to pay all his credit cards off before the date that they gave us. Isn't that amazing? I would say God is great! Through his Son he has provided all our needs and, credit counseling was a solution that helped us to get out of debt quickly.

If you’re one of the many Americans being weighed down by debt the two simple words that can help are sometimes the hardest to put into action, debt management. As bills mount it can become increasingly difficult to take control of your debt. However, with help from the providers of CareOne Credit Counseling Services you can put a debt management plan into action today. This is true! Their credit counselors work with individuals everyday to help them better manage their debt when they can’t do it alone. It assures that they have a qualified, well-trained credit counselor can shed light on the often confusing issue of debt and how to repay it by analyzing your financial situation with you and explaining your present finances. My hubby and I are very thankful for our credit counselor. They are doing a great job. As what I've said we have almost paid off all our credit cards. To know more about debt management check out Debt Management Plan.

My Friend Arrived in US yesterday

Yes, my chatted me this evening and informed me that they are in the country now. Her husband and her little boy arrived in Texas yesterday. I am looking forward to see them on November. It would be 8 years ago since the last time we see each other.

When I was in Thailand before she was in Singapore. She planned to visit me there but she didn't made it. When I went to Singapore that was here schedule to visit her family in Philippines.

Go the Distance

What it means to go the distance? I remember when I was a little kid when we talk about last days I was very scared. I can't imagine myself to be left behind. “Those people who keep their faith until the end will be saved.”Matthew 24:13. This verse reminds us to keep our faith to the end.

Jesus doesn’t say if you succeed you will be saved. Or if you come out on top you will be saved. He says if you endure. An accurate rendering would be, “If you hang in there until the end…if you go the distance.” Max Lucado.

Be patient! Keep going, never get tire of doing what is pleasing to the Lord. Focus our eyes to the Lord! God is faithful to renew our strenght as he promise!

I won the bidding

I was hooked up to ebay store in few days. I don't know why but I just want to have fun looking some items inside. Actually my hubby sold bunch of his electronics stuff lately and I checked his account every now and then to see if his selling items are likeable or not. He did pretty good job. He got more than he thought to get from all those stuff.

I found some brand new items in very cheap price and that catched my eyes. I bidded the other day but I lost. I don't want to further on my expectation price.

Yellow is Beautiful

Since I was a kid I'm not fun with anything about color yellow. I remember I was on 5th grade when my mom bought me a yellow dress for Christmas party in our school. We looked every store in our town but we could not find pure dress that would fit for me. My mom did her magic trick for me to agree to buy the yellow dress. That yellow dress had a red picture - I forgot what picture that was. My mother said it wasn't a plane yellow but has red in it that would be fine. I still have my favorite red color,lol.

When I grow up I can only have yellow t-shirt when it will be a school requirements or somebody bought for me. They said yellow looks good on me because of my light complexion but I couldn't appreciated. I wasn't attracted even to the yellow roses. I would say, beauty depends to the eyes of the beholder.

Few weeks ago, I started loving the yellow color. I wear my yellow dress, shirts and before my birthday I told my husband I wanted to receive a yellow roses. What???? as he was surprised! What happen to red? I still love it, but I want yellow roses. Poor hubby he had a hard time finding a yellow roses on my birthday. A day before my birthday we went to 2 Wal-mart store close in our house but they were out of stock of yellow roses. I kept repeating to my hubby, remember I want yellow roses. Whew! He had to get up early in the morning to find a yellow roses yesterday. Finally, Walgreens has it. He bought both yellow and red roses and it's pretty good combination of the 2 colors. Now, I would say, "Yellow is also a Beautiful" color.

What are the Trashy Thoughts?

I am not perfect yet I am working that to make a better person. But, oftentimes I failed, my weakness is stronger and defeated my strength. More oftentimes I am listening to the vocabulary in my mind. The vocabulary of being defeated? “Don’t talk to me,” “I’m in a bad mood.” As if my mood control me. I allow the emotions to drive me going to the pit. It wasn't good. “As he thinks in his heart, so he is.” Proverbs 23:7 NKJV. I kept reminding myself with this verse yet I still fail.

Can I make a choice? Paul says I do: “We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5). Huh?, this remind me of the soldiers motto "obey first before you complain. Never say "no" for good, but say goodbye to the old self. Do not let the trashing thoughts drive you...push those and trash them out in our mind. Can you do that? Can I? Yes, through the help of our almighty God!

Men’s Professional Fashion

Glamorous, fashionable is that how to describe your man? My husband simply loves to dress up. Even when he is only staying in the house on weekend he wears a dress shirt and slacks. Sometimes, I would play with him about it, because I love to wear blue jeans and t-shirt. For him blue jeans and t-shirts are not a comfortable outfit. One thing that my husband doesn't like is going to the store shopping, fitting clothes. He is the type of person that loves to shop online or let somebody shop for him. He knows what he likes, his sizes and his styles and he doesn’t need to be fitted, because he is sure that it will look good on him. He is going to play jazz music in the fine hotels and restaurants soon and it would be great if he could wear nice clothes too.

Are you looking for a nice outfit for your husband, brother and for your Father? MySuit is a global company with over 40 years of manufacturing and retail experience.

I guess, I'm gonna hang out with you all more often now. I had a wonderful memories with my wonderful man. He remains the best man in my heart and in my life. I have to move and cherish all wonderful memories with him. She has the positive attitude in the midst of sorrow. God is the strength of our heart.

B-A-D News

My husband just told me that our Grandma Watson's brother-in-law passed away lastnight. Huh?! It was a very shocking news because yesterday my mom-in-law and grandma were here. Grandma has a Doctor appointment for her eyes and she said she was gone from here home for couple days. She stayed and take care her sister because of the serious illness.

So, this news was very schocking news, that uncle Red died. Indeed, life is to short. I only met uncle Red once on "Thanksgiving day" last year. I am not really sure what the caused of his death yet. Oh my gosh! This weekend will be my birthday and my hubby and I were planning to do something but I guess ending up going home and be with family. This remind me the year 2004 I went home on my birthday and after 3 days my Grandma passed away. That was the sweetest birthday I had spending the remaining days of my "Lola" (grandma). Well, all things have a reason and has season.

Wholesale Beads

I used to make jewelry using beads and cultured pearls when I was in the Philippines. This was one of my businesses while I was waiting for my visa to come here to the U.S.A. It was so fun that it occupied a lot of my time and helped me forget my longing to be with my hubby. To make good money on this business I bought all my beads and pearls at the wholesale store.

Yehey! I’m turning old again in 3 days, lol. Months, days, hours, minutes, seconds flies so fast and again it’s my birthday. It seems like yesterday. Whew! As the song says ” Rise and Shine”. Lol, what’s the connection of that song in my birthday? Dunno! yikes…! be proud of getting old? Stand up and shine as the brightest star ever. Proud to have another year with the Lord. As my hubby said, don’t worry getting old, what matter most is you are breathing and you know that God give you that life. That’s it, that’s really, really it! He was right!

Tag Heuer Link

In just a few days it will be my birthday, but my husband’s family is already giving birthday presents. Most of them gave me cash and I am not really sure how I'm gonna spend my birthday money just yet. Last night I was searching online the possible stuff I want to get but I ended up nothing. A great present for me would be one of the elegant Tag Heuer watches at TheWatchery.com. Tag Heuer was founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer, the TAG Heuer watch company has established itself as a leading producer of prestigious sports watches and chronographs.

Paying the Utilities

Because the system here is kinda different in terms of paying the bills so I got to learn and get to adjust first. In Philippines and Thailand commonly they have similar system. I had to pay our utilities bills at the company itself or to the bank.

When I got here last year I was shocked a little bit because my hubby only pay his utility bills online. I asked some of my friends they said they sent check to the company to pay. My hubby said, it takes a long time and I am not so sure if it's safe. I asked him some question on how he do it online. I learned and now I manage to pay all our bills before the due date. My hubby have a busy schedule and he has troubled remembering the bills due date. I hate paying the penalty, I was thinking we can use the penalty money to something else. Yeah, it does really different when we paid our utility bills on or before due date. It affect to our credit scores when delay. Praise God I manage to check and pay our bills every month now and credit score boosts higher. A little advise, pay your bills before the due date to gain good credit score.

Hair Replacement?

I saw on tv a commercial, in newspapers ads and all over the internet about hair replacement. I am thankful I have a thick, healthy hair. But, some people are very sad about losing their hair. She said, when she was younger she had a lot of hair, but suddenly she started losing her hair. She is determined to look for any alternative to have more hair again. This could be a good solution: Aventi Laser Hair Therapy offers men and women a clinically proven method of restoring hair. Leonard Venti is one of the pioneers in the laser hair restoration and rejuvenation industries, and he now services clients in the Newport Beach and southern California areas. This is a fantastic idea and a great alternative for anyone wanting to have a full head of hair again. I’m gonna tell my sister-in-law about this one. If you're interested in trying their hair replacement Newport Beach clinic feel free to contact them at any time.

My first trip to Thailand

Thailand was the first country I been to. I remembered when the immigration officer checked my passport he asked me if my age in my passport was right. I smiled and said, yes that's true! I knew I look younger than my age. I can show more proof like my birth certificate. He said, no need and she stamped my passport.

Whew! I was scared that he will not let me to leave the country at that time. It would be a big frustration if he will not allow me to pass the immigration because I had everything I needed for my trip. When he said, okay I let you go I felt like floating in the sky. I was determined to go of course!

When I was on board I was thinking what will be my life in Thailand would be. Thai people could hardly understand English and even coudn't speak. When we landed in Bangkok, I have only 5 minutes left for my connecting flight. I was so scared that the plane will leave me. I don't know where's the domestic area. I kept asking the staff, security at the airport but they didn't gave me the right answers. That started the language barriers. I was determined to find the domestic area and thank God I finally found it. When I check in the counter he said I have to wait a little longer because the plane just arrive. Then, I felt better and relax.

Its time for you to get a merchant account

How I wish I could start my own company; that has been my desire for such a long time. I heard that it wasn't easy to handle a personal business, but I thought it would be great if I owned one. My friend told me that if I have my own business I needed to open a merchant account. I was curious and didn't know about this merchant account. I researched to find out the meaning of it. According to Wikipedia, a merchant account > is a contract under which an acquiring bank extends a line of credit to a merchant, who wishes to accept payment card transactions of a particular card association brand. Without such a contract, one cannot accept payments by any of the major credit card brands.

Are you a business owner? Well, you need a merchant account for your company. Merchant Advisors is extremely helpful in getting you started with merchant accounts set up. Their merchant services and credit card processing services are excellent. If you're looking for a merchant account for your business or credit card processing for your ecommerce site I suggest you spend some time and compare the competition. While some may offer free credit card terminals with their merchant account or perhaps a credit card processing rate comparable to theirs (1.59%). Their services are fast, inexpensive credit card processing with no cost and no long-term obligation. There are no setup fees. There simply are no fees to wave. There's No contract at all. This is a tremendous service you get. Get started processing credit cards today and cancel anytime.

Jesus Planned It All

When circumstances happen, victory, sorrow and joy God knows about it. He allow those things to happen in His purpose. He planned for it. Why? He wants you to know that whatever happens he's there for you. Like what His son Jesus dod on the cross. “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29

As we summarized everything that happened, we can say that Jesus planned his own sacrifice.

Max Lucado said: Meaning Jesus intentionally planted the tree from which his cross would be carved.

It means he willingly placed the iron ore in the heart of the earth from which the nails would be cast.

It means he voluntarily placed his Judas in the womb of a woman.

It means Christ was the one who set in motion the political machinery that would send Pilate to Jerusalem.

And it also means he didn’t have to do it—but he did.

Yes, he did! He planned it for us, because of his great love to us.

Credit Card Processing

I value the use of credit card now a days. It's less hassle and fast to purchase by using the credit card. Like almost all company, store accept credit cards. Even in paying our utilities we use the credit cards. With over 20 years experience in the payments processing industry, Merchant Advisors provides a total payments solution including ACH processing, credit card processing and alternative small business financing via our business cash advance solution. What is the difference of their service? Their merchant services and credit card processing services are far above and beyond anything the competition has to offer. No fees, no contracts, and a free credit card machine. This is great. I am going to get my own credit card soon too.

Parents VIP Night

Lastnight was our 2nd meeting for our cubbies class. It was a Parents VIP night, that means parents came to church and set in our class. So far we have only 3 parents to the class since one of our parents is our AWANA commander. She knew everything about it, lol. Ali's parents didn't come. She said her parents work and work all day long and could not come with her to church. Well, that's alright I know they can able to see Ali's performance in our class. She is one of the smartest kid in the class.

It was a fun night but tough night as well. Little kids are always hyper and wants to do something new every minute. So, we had games for them too and my hubby prepared it. They have to shoot the rice bags in the bucket in front of them. This is my time that my hubby teach a little kids and he still learning how to handle them but I've seen his progress after a week. I love kids and I've been in Children's ministry like my whole life. I'm so happy that God put me in this kind of ministry here again.

The Pot of Prayer

Why need the Pot of prayer. I was scrolling my devotional online and I found this "The pot of Prayer" topic. “I will go to the altar of God, to God who is my joy and happiness.” Psalm 43:4

I got this line: You can dump your bad news in the vat of worry and pull out the spoon. Turn on the fire. Stew on it. Stir it. Mope for a while. Brood for a time. Won’t be long before you’ll have a delightful pot of pessimism.

How about a different idea? The pot of prayer. Before the door of the doctor’s office closes, give the problem to God. “I receive your lordship. Nothing comes to me that hasn’t passed through you.” In addition, stir in a healthy helping of gratitude. Your part is prayer and gratitude. God’s part? Peace and protection.
Instead of panicking and end up to the negative solution, do the prayer instead. Prayer is the answer of everything. Never stop praying to God!

Trick or treat? That is usually the question of people who are celebrating Halloween, but as a Christian we celebrate the fall festival.

Swing with me

Obviously I on my comfy moments! My hubby took me to his office 2 weeks ago and he showed me his favorite hang out place. Yes, this is outside their office building. I tried the swing and he was right nice and comfortable.

He spent his lunch break most of the time in that area last summer. Besides, the landscaping are so beautiful around too. I told my hubby that I want go with him some time again that I could hang out in the swing. There's one big tree that shades the place. But, there's one thing bothers me there, were the mosquitos,lol. They ate me up!

Back To School

School started about a month ago. I asked some students if they are happy to be back in school this year. Some said "Yes" but majority said "No". I asked why, they simply said so much "homework". That's right, but that's part of learning process. I remember when I was in elementary school; how I wished summer will come very soon. When summer came, I got bored staying at home and fighting with my sister all the time. Then I wanted to go back to school.

When school was about to start my mother would buy me school supplies. I had almost everything I needed and my mother reminded me to be responsible and organize my things, but I kept loosing my pens, markers and etc. How I wish I had some file folders at that time. I wished my mother knew about the Dymo labeler. DYMO is fast-becoming the worldwide leader in providing innovative labeling solutions that help people organize and identify their world: home, office or worksite. DYMO offers a complete range of products, from simple embossers, manual label makers and desktop products to industrial portables and computer-connected products. And DYMO label makers offer diverse functionality, including: bar coding, address checking, and much more. To make the most wonderful time of the year, DYMO!

What do you want for your birthday?

My husband called to his parents the other day and his mom wanted to talk to me. When husband handed me the phone Mom asked me what I want for my birthday. Whew! I really don't have specific stuff that I want right now I said. Well, you start looking and think about it now because your birthday is coming up this weekend.

Isn't that pressure to think what I really want for my birthday. I knew my parents-in-law didn't mind if I ask them another gadgets but I am thinking for costs. They helped us so much in the past month when hubby and I are working on our house loan. Maybe, for them as parents they want me to completely happy on my special day. They do anything they can to make me feel happy here. I told my hubby I will not ask expensive stuff this year, he's thankful for that-lol. But he said I will ask his parents something because they love to get me something. Right now, I am still looking....!

Personalized Holiday cards

Are you excited about the Christmas holidays? I am! I am counting the days left before Christmas. I am so excited to open my Christmas presents. Hehehe! Last Christmas was my first Christmas here in America. My hubby told me it was their family Christmas tradition to open our stockings presents hanging on the fireplace mantle when the clock strikes12 midnight. We can only open the big Christmas presents when we get up that morning. But, for now I’ve started to make my Christmas wish list.

Of course, my hubby and I were thinking about sending some Christmas cards to our family and friends. Personalized Holiday cards. are an excellent choice for everyone. GalleryCollection.com has a variety cards for all occasions. GalleryCollection.com is excited and proud to announce the donation of 180,000 personalized Holiday cards to Soldiers’ Angels for use in Holiday care packages to deployed troops.

A Symbol of Love

What it takes for you to know that someone loves you? I remember when I was at my teenage life. I heard some of my girlfriends said that when the guy who courted them really like them then, they will do some sacrifices. Maybe true, maybe not!

There's one man who did a great sacrificed for you and for me. It says in Luke 24:6,"He is not here; he has risen from the dead.” Through the rags of death, John saw the power of life. Odd, don’t you think, that God would use something as sad as a burial wrap to change a life?

But God is given to such practices:

In his hand empty wine jugs at a wedding become a symbol of power.

The coin of a widow becomes a symbol of generosity.

And a tool of death is a symbol of his love. Because of his great Love for all of us.

Saving the Energy

When I woke up this morning I felt a little cold. I didn't check the weather until our friend Monica dropped Emma off. When I open the door I smell the fresh, cool breeze outside. Monica said our weather is under 60F so I turned off our airconditioned and open the window instead. Right now, I am enjoying the fresh air and sunshine that shines on our window glass. It feels great when the weather will cooling off like this.

Not only that, with this weather it helps us to save energy from using the aircondion. Besides, fresh air is better than anything else. How I wish we will have this weather and temperature all the time. Not too cold and not too warm. Is there any place on earth has a perfect temperature?

Yesterday, I was overwhelmed when Laarni Losala got the title as a Grand Star Dreamer of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2. A day before, I helped to make emails to used for voting. Since we, her supporters who live outside the country we can only vote through online using e-pins. Imagine only 1 e-pins worth of 30 votes for 1 email a day. For the last two days, we have to use over 400 e-pins to make Laarni a winner. The fans sacrifices, helps and cheers each other to make this possible. hehehe! Indeed a victory! I can't believe that all the fans has the same feeling. We are truly overwhelmed with joy, praise to our Lord and enjoy the winning moments.

Congratulations Laarni!

Finally, the Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 has the new Grand Star Dreamer. The pride of Sultan Kudarat, Philippines "Laarni Losala" got the title. She has the versatile talent, a fighter, powerful voice and a darling of the crowd. I can't believe myself to fool in this reality show because of her,lol.

Cuneta Astrodome was indeed filled with tension as the much awaited announcement of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2’s Grand Star Dreamer has finally arrived. The Top Six Scholars were joined by their former co-Scholars, Vina Morales and Wency Cornejo to open the show with their rendition of Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life and the legendary group Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.

Joining the new Grand Star Dreamer in the Top Three were Bugoy and Miguel who gathered a total of 26.70% and 13.69% respectively. Unfortunately, Liezel, who was a consistent Star Scholar didn’t make it into the Top Three and had to settle with fourth place with a total of 247,346 text votes. I really wished liezel made to the top 3, but she didn't. She was followed by Van who garnered 112,065 votes while Cris filled in the last slot with only a total of 36,487 text votes. Indeed, our textvotes for Laarni made it and help her to be the Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 Grand Star Dreamer. Mabuhay Laarni at also the Laarnians!

Who will be the Grand Star Dreamer

Awhile ago I was watching the Pinoy Dream Academy performanced night. Wherein the the top 6 scholars graduated from Academy and performed for their last gala night. The night that Bugoy, Cris, Laarni, Liezel, Miguel and Van have been waiting for has finally arrived— the Grand Dream Night. Again, they were asked to face the jurors, composed of Louie Ocampo, Girlie Rodis and their very own Dream Mentors, in order to gain commendations and be hailed deserving of the newest Grand Star Dreamer title. To open the act, the reality show’s infamous hosts—Nikki Gil, Billy Crawford, and Toni Gonzaga—shared their part with an interesting opening number, followed by the performance of the expelled Scholars. I'm a little nervious and anxious what gonna be happen in few hours from now. Hehehe!

Tomorrow will be the awarding ceremony, and the announcing of "Grand Star Dreamer" of Pinoy Dream Academy Season2. Who has what it takes to get the title. Who deserves to win? It would be Bugoy, Laarni, Cris, Liezel, Van and Miguel?

Allergy Relief Treatment

Last week, the little girl that I keep had a bad allergic reaction all over her body. We didn't know how it started and what to do about it. It was so weird, because it would show up and then be gone. We took her to the doctor and they only gave her a prescription. Do you know that Dust Mite Mattresses cause allergies? How does one treat allergies? Dalworth suggested that whole house cleaning and Allergy Relief Treatment™ offer the greatest potential benefits for allergy sufferers.

Too Incredible

Who is the most incredible in your life? You may say your parents, spouse, children, friend or family. I am blessed when I read this devotional this morning with the title "Too Incredible". In John 3:31 says "The One who comes from above is greater than all.”

The idea that a virgin would be selected by God to bear himself…The notion that God would don a scalp and toes and two eyes…The thought that the King of the universe would sneeze and burp and get bit by mosquitoes…It’s too incredible. Too revolutionary. We would never create such a Savior. We aren’t that daring.

Whom this word refer to? No other than God! When we create a redeemer, we keep him safely distant in his faraway castle. We allow him only the briefest of encounters with us. We permit him to swoop in and out with his sleigh before we can draw too near. We wouldn’t ask him to take up residence in the midst of a contaminated people. In our wildest imagination we wouldn’t conjure a king who becomes one of us.

But God did., Max Lucado said.

No one is greater than our God!

Cowboy Hats

I don't know why, but I really love cowboy outfits. I would ride a horse wearing a cowboy outfit. That would be so fun. Long loved for its unique style and function, the cowboy hat remains the most recognizable symbol of the great American West. It's true, this style has been around for a long while and has been loved by many generations. Cavender's Boot City is the web's one-stop source for western wear, cowboy boots, cowboy hats and western accessories for men, women, and children. This site offers great deals on popular brands like Ariat, Lucchese, Justin, and Wrangler. Check them out!

Haircut for men

It has been a year since I started cutting my hubby's hair. At first, I don't have idea on how to trim/cut man's hair. But my hubby were keep asking me over and over again. At least, I'll give a shot. Hehehe! Yes, I trimmed his hair with condition, "Do not tell anybody I cut your hair". He said yes, so I did! He look on the mirror and appreciated what I had done. He likes it and I can't believe myself that it turned good too.


Since Sunday was approaching at that time, I kept reminding him our condition. Sunday came, my husband plays guitar in our church. After the Sunday service our friend, Jesse told Lance "Man, you got your haircut done, I like it". How much you paid for your haircut ? My husband was very excited to hear that praise and suddenly said, Mimi cut my hair. Lol, he blushed, he look at me and said sorry I told Jesse that you cut my hair. Since Jesse appreciated it I said that's alright. I will love to give you haircut anytime you want, baby. Lol. Well, his hairstyle is not that difficult though.

Lastnigt, we begin our "Cubbies" class for this school year 2008-2009. We have 5 kids in our class and they are all active. You know little kids at ages 3 and 4 years old, they are very energetic and very active. My hubby and I are holding this class. We share the tasks. While hubby is reading the story, I make sure the kids are listening. My hubby and I are happy to see those little faces who were excited to be in our class.

Well, our first class went so good. We gave them "AWANA Bucks" when they recited our memory verse for tonight and finish all the work we gave.

Yehey' PR is Back

God is good, all the time! Yesterday, my Pr's turned 0 but now I see the green spot again. This blog has Pr1. So glad I have the Pr in this blog again. I wish this will remain and will goes up. For those who are not familiar with PR's yet. Public relations (PR) is the practice of managing the flow of information between an organization and its publics. Public relations - often referred to as PR - gains an organization or individual exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that do not require direct payment. When our blog has PR that means has a value. Thank you Google for putting back my PR in this blog. Hope this will be my tool to grab more opportunity at this moment.

The LapBand

Tested and proven, lapband surgery is one of the in demand technologies for losing weight. Celebrities, models and everyday people are getting this type of surgery to help them to maintain a healthy body figure. This is a great way to loose weight, because you feel full with less food. The opening of your stomach is actually made smaller by an adjustable band that lets in less food, in turn making you feel as if you had a full stomach. If you've struggled with your weight and no amount of dieting and exercise has worked, the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) from JourneyLite maybe for you. Visit their website and learn more about them.

When All Else Fails

Last Christmas, our Pastor gave me a plaque as a Christmas present. On the plaque has a qoute says "When All Else Fails, Ask Mimi". With that simple quote written on there had a big impact in my heart. I can't believe that in few months since I got here last year they found me being positive and has something to offer. I hang that plaque on the side of our refrigator as my hubby said to be seen when it's needed.

I'm kinda down a little bit today and I couldn't cry. So, that means everything stucked inside of me. My hubby kept checking me if I'm alright. I said yes, I wish I can cry that I will be better. I saw this plaque again and ask myself "Whom I'm gonna ask when all else fails?". It's a weird question but the answer simply "God". He has the control about everything that I worry for. He is the one who will restore my joy and give me peace. As my friend reminded me today, everything is only temporary. Everything has end. Everything has the Departure Date as we refer to Eccles. 7:1. I would say, everything it's up to the Lord!

Income Insurance During Pregnancy

Can your family afford to lose your income? This question is perfect for my situation right now. I am a stay-home-wife and writing reviews is one of the ways I make a living. We need the financial resources of my income along with my husband’s to make sure we can pay all our bills. I am looking forward to the time when my husband and I can start to have children and I can relax for a while. I am just wondering how we can finance everything we need for our home in case I am unable to work for a time. There is a saying that says you cannot predict what will happen, but you can prepare. I am just concerned that I might become temporarily disabled from my pregnancy. There are many conditions that have made missing work during and after pregnancy a common occurrence. According to a 2002 study, 29% of short term disabilities (180 days or less) and 12% of long-term disabilities are due to pregnancy. Income Insurance During Pregnancy can help ensure your income doesn't suffer if you become unable to work before and/or after delivery. Don't risk letting such a joyous occasion cause a financial burden to you and your family. Don't wait until you're already pregnant to find out about disability insurance. For additional information, please fill out and submit the form on their web site or call their office at 866.439.7824.

Press Release:
Missing work during and after pregnancy has become a common occurrence. According to a 2002 study, 29% of short term disabilities (180 days or less) and 12% of long-term disabilities are due to pregnancy. Maternity disability can turn what is otherwise a happy occasion into a financially harrowing experience when the mother is left unable to work for months before and/or after delivery. Disability Income insurance can be the answer to the unknown risk to a household’s cash flow due to pregnancy.

Many larger companies offer paid maternity leave to employees whereby the employee is granted full pay for a period of time (generally 3 months) while out of work with the newborn. Any complications that cause the employee to miss work before delivery or beyond the maternity leave period after delivery result in a loss of income for days or even months.

Individual short term disability insurance can provide up to 70% of regular income when you’re not able to work due to illness or injury for 3-6 months. Long-term disability insurance takes over after the short-term benefits period has passed and can provide income protection for up to five years or longer.

Mothers-to-be often rely on the group disability insurance offered by their employer. Group disability usually covers up to 60% of regular income. However, all benefits received from such a policy are taxed as regular income, lowering take home dollars to roughly 42% of regular income. Group policies are also commonly riddled with exceptions and limitations that further reduce or eliminate benefits altogether.

Mothers-to-be with group disability insurance can very affordably plug the holes in their policy with a supplemental disability insurance policy. Supplemental coverage can extend income protection to 100% of pre-disability cash flow and benefits paid from the supplemental policy are not taxed as income.
The key to protecting a future mother’s income during pregnancy is to get disability insurance, be it individual or supplemental, before becoming pregnant. Once pregnant, the eligibility for additional disability insurance evaporates.

Future moms have several options to protect their income from a long-term or short-term pregnancy disability. Without this coverage, families take the risk of losing a good portion of their income for months, if not longer. Whether you participate in a group plan at work or not, maternity disability can be planned for in an affordable manner to help ensure a truly safe pregnancy where your family’s quality of life remains unaffected.
