Preggy Meh Updates: 18 Weeks

Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

I can't wait to know the gender of our baby by next week. :)

Jesus is the Gift

He is PEACE...

He is JOY...
He is LOVE...

He is every good gift from God's heart to ours.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father.
James 1:17 NIV

Year of Abundance

All Christmas items are now up to 75% on SALE! People are still rushing down to the mall because it's not yet too late to share your blessings to your family and friends! We are fortunate enough that I was able to give them their happiness during this season. But to some people they were still hoping that they can get their last payday advances for this year so that they can spend their new years eve with abundance too. Hoping for a prosperous new year to all of us!

DA Christmas Party 2010

What is BROADWAY musical? That's the question that needs an exact answer...:)

Last December 17, 2010, our office held our yearly Christmas party with it's theme BROADWAY... As one of the highlights, they organized a contest by division clustering. Since we knew that it's a Broadway musical theme, we've come up with the Grease Musical. Confident enough that we possessed all the elements that a Broadway must have, we ended up so disappointed with the results coming from the judges. :( (the most controversial Christmas party ever)

Well, I'm not sounding like sour-graping but we want justice!!!! lol...Where in the world have you seen nor heard that Hagibis and Jennifer Lopez's Let's Get Loud have come into Broadway theater/musical? Well, judges decision is always final..as they said...it's "weather, weather lang".

But as of the moment, we've come up with it's new meaning of Broadway...D.A.'s version: Broadway comes from the root word BROAD which means wide-ranging or shall we say OPEN...as in OPEN to all kinds of theme...:) In dialect, it's what we called "LUAG nga DALAN"... laf laf laf

The Greasers.....

Even though we just received the consolation prize, still we're so proud that we've presented the right theme that were supposed to be presented. :) Anyway, we're still the winners!!! Go Finance, AMAD go!

The real winners...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

from my family to yours....

God Bless!

Want to Have a Better Bathroom?

I usually heard it with other people that they always wanted their bathrooms to be the nicest part in their homes. I totally agree with them! Just recently my sister suggested my parents to have their bathrooms remodeled but due to finances incapacity they just prioritized changing first the bathroom door. Good thing it was already done this time. Hopefully by next year, they will also change the toilet as well as the toilet seat. But as for now, they’ll just settle on what they have.

Since we will start constructing our new house early next year (God-willing), I think would consider it having a nice master bathroom too. Well as of now, I’ll better check nice ideas on what it would look like- good thing I found betterbathrooms.com. Maybe we will be considering a design that would be more of a modern look with of course a tub and a hot and cold showers as per request of my daughter.

So much for that, please visit their site if you have ample of time. Guess what? What’s so nice about this site is you can choose a wide variety of ideas regarding your bathroom suites, toilets, showers, tubs and bathroom furniture’s down to its accessories. Aside from that, you can get their stocks at very low prices as they offer discounts too.

Honor the Perfect Gift

Jesus is the gift that perfectly fits every heart and it is with His love that all celebration starts. We rejoice in Him as we remember His birth and thank God for sending His only Son to earth.

His life led from a manger to a cross on a hill where He faithfully followed His Father's perfect will. He freely laid down everything so that we could live and there is no greater treasure anyone could give.

Like a scarlet ribbon His love wrapped around the cross and He offered it to us all at the greatest cost. So each time that we give we remember what He's done and honor the perfect Gift - God's one and only Son.

For God so loved the world that He gave... John 3:16

A blessed Sunday to everyone!

Wrap It With Love

Tomorrow would be our Church Christmas party, just this afternoon we were so busy doing some Christmas rush shopping for our gift giving. Actually it really took time for us just to to pick the best gift for our manito and manita. Hubby choose either electronic gadgets or waterproof binoculars while me in a dilemma between apparels from small home fixtures. Of course no problem with my daughter we just went to the toy sections. Now, it's already late in the evening and 'm still wrapping the gifts for tomorrow's event. Guess what, I felt so tired already but still need to finish it all- whew! need more energy but I guess it would be perfect if I would do it with LOVE.

She Got It!

A friend of mine who's based in the western part of the world happened to experience a major and not so major accident in her life. Guess what? So fortunate of her that she got the cheapest car insurance and that she's thankful for estate car insurance that made it possible in less time involved she wanted it. Now, she's confident enough to travel alone because rest assured her car is already insured.

Techie Girl

I’m not really a techie girl but my sister does. My sis keeps on changing her phones every time she feels like changing it. She loves to buy gadgets she likes and if she feels like giving it to us she’ll give it. Guess what? She just bought my sister and dad new cell phones as their Christmas gifts- a Blackberry and Nokia E Series phone. Well, hoping next time she’ll give me one iPhone too.(*-wink-*)

Natural- Born Killers

Another reason to go green: Avocado may wipe out oral cancer. Some researchers applied an avocado extract to both normal and precancerous oral cells. The extract itself caused the precancerous cells to die but didn't harm the normal ones. Phytonutrients- the compounds that give fruits and veggies their color.

So in order to avoid that kind of diseases, let's be preventive enough in what we are eating- always go for green. Well, as of now I'm starting reading some colon cleanse reviews since I'm not into eating green foods. :)

BCS Batch 94 Get-Together

Wheew!
A bit excited for tomorrow's get-together with my elementary classmates.
For 16 years I haven't seen some of them- hoping they could come..
Let's all party guys and gals and let's have fun!

Tapok-Tapok

Last December 4 (Sat) we had our "tapok-tapok" for this year (small gathering) with our barkadas. It has been our group's (college barkadas) practice to celebrate with the group during our birthdays. This time around was Mam Star's belated birthday treat, since her birthday was last October. The only difference we have from this gathering from those previous ones was we have our kids with us already. Two of them just gave birth early January of this year and September for the later.

So sad that we're not complete this time. We miss Ruth and Rogeline!!! Hope next tapok-tapok you can join with us!

My Next Project

My co-office mate who resigned in the office has his own techie business. He just introduces us with his new "cheap gadgets" from Japan. Yeah indeed, so cheap if we compared it with the regular price in the market there is really a big difference. Actually I ordered him a new DSLR Camera which I'm planning to buy as my next project. He offered me for as low as 20K and guess what with a high-end camera with it's complete accessories and that includes that tripod and its cases and etc, I think without a doubt I will get one. Well, he also offers Caméscopes numériques or Digital camcorders if you wish to order. Hopefully by February 2011 I can have it. Wohooo.....

Jolli Kids Club Funday

Last Sunday, my daughter joined for the first time with the "Jollibee Kids Club" with their Pre-Christmas celebration! She was so excited to attend the said event knowing that she would meet her Jolli friends in town.
Actually, I let her join the club so that she will be expose to different people aside from she can gain lots of friends through this club. Indeed, she met already some of my friend's children. You can see how happy she is joining such big event.

Well, waiting for another event early next year!

On Renewal...

About months ago, mom was so busy doing the errands for the renewal of the franchise and registration of my Uncle's taxi. Good thing she had experienced a smooth sailing processing of all her transactions with the different agencies. From the Land Transportation Office (LTO), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) down to different insurance companies. The best thing among all was she was able to find a cheap car insurance and we thank God for it. Hope to find great deals in the next renewal years!!!

Synthetic vs. Herbal Medicines

Do you believe that there is nothing more irritating to have than a reoccurring cough? Yes I do! Aside from rainy seasons that we’ve experienced and with the amount of pollutants now present in the air, the possible causes of the cough are wide ranging. People are exposed to numerous particles of dust, fumes and germs, pollutants (tobacco smoke, car exhaust fumes and airborne infections), throughout the day. With all of these pollutants, it is a wonder that we are not continually coughing 24 hours a day.

So what would be your best cough medicines? Would you go for synthetic or herbal medicines?

In my case, every time I have to experience cough I’ll just go for water therapy and lemon juice. Why? There’s a problem in me- I hate drinking tablets and capsules because I can hardly swallow it and sometimes I’ll end up vomiting. But if my doctor prescribed me to drink such, I’ll suggest going for syrup like Robitussin. I don’t know if it really works on me, it just give me a relief for a moment.

As a mom, when cough strikes my daughter I’ll go for herbal medicines because synthetic ones doesn’t work at all for her. In our office, we usually share/exchange some ideas on what’s the best med for coughs for their children. Most of them usually go for Ascof Lagundi. Without hesitation I did tried it for my daughter and so true it really works fast. Unlike before, her cough would last for 3 weeks at most but now seldom it will reach for 2 weeks.

So true, advertising plays an important role for audience like us on what to choose for the best medicine coughs. I’ll just smile every time I’ll see ads attacking each other brands claiming that they are the best. Well, only me can tell on which is best for me and for my family!

15th Week Pregnancy

Wow! Can't believe it- I'm on my 15th week now!!!! Thank you Lord..

Baby's development:

Our growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than his arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. If I were to peek inside my uterus during this week, I would still be able to see our baby's blood vessels through his paper-thin skin. This week, our baby will start producing lanugo, which is fine hair that will cover baby's body up until a few weeks before birth. Our baby now might start sucking his thumb.

Maybe by next week, I'll try to have an ultrasound so that we may be able to find out whether our baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.") Hoping for a baby boy this time! *wink*

Good Investment

So true that man has always been fascinated with the beauty and magic of gold. For centuries, it has been recognized that one way of preserving one’s wealth and purchasing power is through buying gold. It’s really a unique investment since then and until now. Silver and Gold are just one of an investment products that are available in coin and ingot form. By the way, ingots are generally gold ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape.

Just like my cousin they are engaged in a business like buying precious metals since they believe that gold has truly the power to change men’s lives. They buy gold coins from the source and then sell it on a regular dealer in the market. Wish they can contact United States Gold Bureau- America’s best dealer of precious metal investment. I think they would be a great help in their starting business.

The Pink Post

Hey guys, I am inviting you to visit my other site The Pink Post, just leave a comment if you wish to exchange link with me. I welcome you all to my new site that tells everybody that "it's never to late to be fabulous!".

Busy Mom

Just this morning, mom was so busy that she let my daughter be absent from her class because nobody could attend her to school. Since my younger sister went to the mall with my grandma, they brought my daughter with them so that mom can run the errands. Actually, she was so busy because their house is under renovation and she need to buy all the materials needed. She went to different hardware's just to canvass on some bathroom accessories and etc., I wish we have a Baldwin hardware here in our city. For sure she can get a good deal on what we are looking for.

Christmas is in the Air!

Every time our office mates from other divisions happened to get in our office we will be hearing from them saying this "Christmas is in the Air!". Truly, even us can say it also because of the Christmas decors that we hung around each corners plus the stars that surrounds us made it so unique. Actually, even if it's not Christmas still our office looks so simple yet elegant because of the office décor that were being used. It does not only adds beauty in it but the people itself is already an art!

Why I Want Longer, Fuller Natural Lashes

Four years ago, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Danielle. The moment she came into this beautiful world, people do questioned me about her long beautiful lashes. They can't help but asked me where did she get that long natural curly lashes? Well in fact I got a short lashes while her dad got a long one but not as curly as she have. Actually, this is the main reason why I want to have a longer and a fuller natural lashes....

We all know that having a long eyelashes have always been seen as a sign of femininity and beauty. By nature our lashes serve as a sensor that warn us that the object is nearing our eyes aside from protecting our eyes from debris.

But women like me would really care about in terms of eyelashes. Do you? In my own opinion, the longer and thicker eyelashes you have the more beautiful, feminine and sexually desirable you are. Actually I am a mom who's really into make-ups. That is why, I love buying products that enhances my eyelashes length so that people may determine that Danielle is my daughter. :) Actually, I have been looking for this product ILASH that offers an increase in lash length appearance after 3 weeks. The one that I have been using only last for days and it will be back to it's original length. I don't wear fake lashes but I want to have a fullness of my thinning eyebrows plus a longer lashes like my daughter too. Hope to have one this season!

Great Deals on Cars

A certain car company offers a great discount when it comes to down payment that is why their sales are getting higher and higher everyday. My father-in-law was one who availed the said great deals and truly it’s a hassle free at all. They offered free freight, matting, tinting, seat cover, 3 years free registration plus they have good car insurance companies being tied up. For almost two months, their services offered were so far so good. Now a friend of mine, wanted to avail such.

We've Got the Same!

A year ago to be exact, personalized travel mugs were usually wrapped as for exchange gifts. Actually I got one and I know some of my friends who received it too. Well, just last week my daughter received one like what I've got and with the same color. Guess what, I have an office mate who asked me to give her one this Christmas season. Well, I still need to order it online so that I can have it personalize and that she would surely appreciate it.

Find the Perfect Gift for Everyone on Your List

Finding great deals on jewelry gets easier as we get closer to the holidays. In fact, finding great deals on everything seems to get easier. Everyone wants you to buy, buy, buy as Christmas gets closer. And, realistically, most people oblige.

Finding the right gift for everyone can seem difficult at first. One thing you may want to do is find out what is hot right now. For example, you could look at toy watches for friends or family. These are a great option for anyone who enjoys watches.

For kids, there are things that will always go over well. Young children might enjoy books or blocks. Toys that are bright and colorful tend to work well. Older children today enjoy gaming systems. For example, the Nintendo DS is great for kids who need portability. The Wii has been said to be much better for children because there are many games that are great for kids to develop their motor skills.

If you are trying to get something for the person who has everything, this can be a little more difficult. Trying to find something unique, that they will enjoy, can get frustrating. Consider things like gourmet chocolates if they have a sweet tooth. Or, find a great, warm blanket to help them stay warm this winter.

Finding a great gift for each person on your list can get time consuming. One of the best ways to get it all done is to start early. Waiting until the last few days before the holiday can make it stressful, and you may find that what you are looking for is no longer available. Get a jump start, but keep an eye out for great deals as well.

LOVE, LOVE LOVE!

No matter our age or status in life, we all can strive to love others as God loves them. We may accomplish great things in our life- gain fame and fortune- but the greatest thing is to LOVE! For of all that we have done, or ever will do, only love endures. We depart, but love abides.

The greatest thing in the world is...

Your Little Boy: Man Under Construction

He used to run into the kitchen wall head first when he was two. The reason you remember it is because he did it so often. He never gave up thinking that he could beat that wall. His head was dented because of it. He used to laugh at the birds and throw rocks at them too when he was six. You didn’t bother to scold him because he never once came close to hitting one. But he never gave up either. When he was twelve, he would open doors for others, especially those he saw needing help. He got the oddest looks from other people.

At age 14 he stole home plate twice. When he was in high school he took one of his best friends to the prom. She was the one no one else would ask. He did it because he had that kind of heart. His senior year he turned a center fielder’s arm into district championship when everyone else told him it wasn’t possible. That was the championship in the javelin, by the way.

You spent all those years getting him the best equipment you could afford, which was not always enough. Whether it was the Mizuno baseball glove, the Toms Shoes that suddenly became popular, or second set of Legos when you realized he ran out before he was done, you were there for him. It made a quiet difference.

Your little boy graduated from college and by then, it did not matter what his records were or his grades. He was already a champion starting the day he continually challenged the kitchen wall. That little boy is still there. He’s just in a man’s body now.

When holding your infant in your arms, remember that he is a gift that you only have for a short time. It’s your job to help him find the way there.

Belly Dancing

Last Friday afternoon after my daughter's Ballet Class, her teacher told her to be back on Saturday so that she can then start her 1st Belly Dancing lesson. To my amazement, I was so happy seeing her doing all the egyptian moves as lil as she is. Guess what she was the tiniest and the youngest among them all- from older ones (mommies and Ate's were there). :)

Very well done for a first-timer like her..she dances like a pro! Thank you Lord!

Body Shaping

A beautiful figure is not strictly a matter of fitness...

• Slimmer legs, hips and buttocks
• Targeted stubborn fat deposits from the belly area
• Improved texture and tone of skin
• Reduced appearance of cellulite
• Reduction of half to one clothes size- with a full course of sessions

Aside from the fast targeted-long lasting and visible RESULTS one can also try the conjugated linoleic acid- the easiest way to get your body in shape! Actually it is a natural and healthy fatty acid that is actually essential to the basic functioning of your body. It can be found in multiple sources, including various plant sources such as sunflower oil.

13th Week of Pregnancy

By the end of pregnancy week 13, our baby looks like a tiny yet fully formed baby. While our baby's head is still quite large, his body is starting to catch up. Our baby's eyes are starting to move closer together by pregnancy 13 weeks. Up until this point in time, they rested closely along the sides of the head. Our baby's intestines are also moving further into the body, and our baby's tiny pancreas is starting to produce insulin, which will be vital for regulating your baby's sugar levels later in life!

Fingerprints have formed on our baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If we're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries, but what about if we're having a boy? :) Our baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

Wow! We're all so excited to see baby Josh! :)

Multitasking Mom

Being a multitasking mom is difficult. There are so many things to do. The house is always messy. The beds are unmade. There are so many things left unfinished. When you are a multitasking mom, you ought to make the right decisions with your time. Firstly, you need to understand the importance of time management.

Moms who work don’t have time for themselves. When they do get time, they waste it with irrelevant things. Wasted time is a big offense for a busy mom. For example, when driving a car, a mom can listen to the news on radio. By doing this, a newspaper reading session can be avoided and precious time can be saved. Another instance is to watch television. Instead of watching television, busy moms can call up and meet their friends instead.

Multitasking moms need to be a little less harsh on themselves. Solely because by being harsh on oneself, it will only make matters more difficult. Try to be a little slow on you. Don’t worry too much about the beds being unmade, or the dishes in the sink. Leave that thought alone. Don’t be worried too much by it.

Use a smart phone to do many things at once. Use a prepaid card. Smart phones will give you the ability to connect with people, and also check mails. Not just that—one can even do banking activities on the smart phone. So the gist of the story is that smart phones are for smart, multitasking moms.

Take the help of a schedule. Agreed, schedules are slightly cumbersome and might not always turn right. But schedules give direction. For example, you can start of your day with a jog. Follow this up with turning on the television and listening to the news while you get things ready. If you have kids, then teach them to get their things done by themselves and so on.

Got the Box!

Yeah it would be an early Christmas for us since my elder sister sent us the box a month ago and we just received it yesterday. My daughter was so excited to open it because she knew for sure that she has a lots of gifts on it. Well, so true she really had most of what's inside but of course my sister made it a point that every one of us has it's own share. I myself got some stuffs like blazers, accessories, makes-ups, perfumes and etc. My parents got and age defying cream while my cousin got her request of having a cream on how to remove dark circles since that was her problems since then.

To sum it up, we ended up with a big smile receiving those early Christmas gifts and of course we never failed to call up my sister and say our thanksgiving to her!

A Solution for Those Emergencies that Come up Being a Single Mom

Being a single mom isn't easy, but that goes without saying. You have to take care of everything around the house, prepare meals, and somehow bring an income in with no help. If the kids are older, you have to worry about getting them to and from school, shopping for school supplies, and more. If the kids are younger, then daycare becomes a concern. And of course, kids are always growing, so new clothes are always right around the corner. It gets to the point where if anything unexpected comes up, it can be hard to get the bills paid, and you're forced to decide what you can live without.

Imagine a single mom who depends on her vehicle to get the kids to school, get to work, and pick up groceries. Now imagine that car breaking down and being immobile. What would you do? Obviously she can't afford to be without the car for any extended period of time. Still, living check to check makes it hard, if not impossible, to come back from a situation like that without help. Imagine having to cut back on food because you need to save up to fix the car!

Situations like this are why pay day loans exist. Let's face it, you're not going to be able to walk into a bank and get a loan for something like this. Even if you could, it would take a while, ranging from a week to a month, to close the loan and get your money in time to get things fixed. With a pay day loan, all you need is a dependable and verifiable source of income, and you can get the cash you need when you need it most. And depending on the loan type, you can have your payments spread out for minimal hurt on your everyday budget.

Gift Yourself with Glowing Skin

Since Christmas is fast approaching, why don't you treat yourself with the following:

FACE SCULPTING
Therapeutic Duflex using electro stimulation combining with infra red is a non-surgical technique that repairs skin damage caused by ageing and restores the skin's elasticity, tonacity and complexion. It works on double chins, puffy face, wrinkles, fine lines, how to get rid of acne, dark circles and hyper-pigmentation.

BODY SCULPTING
Ultra Contour- French Ultrasonic technology that helps get rid of unwanted fat from the abdomen, thighs and hips. You can expect to lose a few inches around the targeted area. Fat loss is achieved through vacuum massage which is area specific.

Using the Internet To Save Money

Even with your regular stores cutting costs everyday, there are still many ways you can save even more. It is always good to have some sort of savings for urgent needs, as well as for something that you don’t buy everyday. Though it can seem hard to save on everyday items, if you use the Internet in a productive way, you too will find more ways to save than you expected. You have to be careful with the sites you visit though, as some of them can be a scam and instead of getting any kind of savings, you will end up with other problems.

One of the ways to save over the Internet is to find savings on things you pay for on a monthly basis. There are several companies who offer online services to help you get the best possible auto and home insurance. One such site is 21st Century Insurance, which offers online auto insurance as well as other insurances that you need. Contacting their customer service will provide you with additional details so that you can compare it to what you currently have and make a decision from there.

There are several sites dedicated to coupons which you can easily review and print. These coupons can be used in stores or over the Internet, and the savings are usually in addition to the discounts that the stores provide. Coupons can save you quite a bit, and with some of them you can end up getting things for free without feeling guilty about it. The truth is some of them are much better than what you will see in the newspaper or in Valpacks. They offer greater savings with fewer limitations on what you can actually spend on. Use your spare time to look online and you will find something you can use.

Happy Without

Do you believe that Godliness with contentment is a great gain? Definitely YES! For we brought nothing in this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. If we become enamored with things like if we buy gold bullion and other material things, then be careful because we may wander from the faith and be pierced with the pangs of frustrated desire.

Why don’t we asked ourselves, “What am I truly happy without?”. For sure the answer will reveal much about our relationships with the Lord and our contentment with Him.

Lord, help me not set my heart on things that pass away;
Make me content with what I have and give You thanks each day.

I do believe that contentment comes not from great wealth but from few wants.

Spend More Time with Your Family with Scottsdale Property Management

Managing property is hard, and it takes a lot of time. Being a landlord is complicated, and it's not something that everyone wants to do - but most people do want the money that having rental properties can bring. If you're one of those people, go ahead and get your rental properties. Then get Scottsdale property management to take care of them. A lot of people say they don't want a property management company to help them, because they figure they won't make as much money that way. Often, though, that's not the case. You can generally make more money from letting a management company help you.

The reason behind that is due to the fact that a management company that's used to handling property can get things done more efficiently - and often for less money - than a person who isn't familiar with who to call, how much things should cost, and what to do when something goes wrong. By letting a company handle it, you'll also be around to spend a lot more time with your family and friends. They should be the most important things in your life, especially if you have small children who really need your time and attention.

Don't overlook them just because you're trying to make money or because you think you have to do everything yourself. You don't need to handle it all. Delegation can be a very good thing, as long as you delegate your cares and worries to the right person or company. When you feel comfortable with your choice of property management company, you can just relax and enjoy your time with your loved ones. If there's a serious problem, your management company will call you. Otherwise, you can feel secure and just collect the money for your rental property.

Worth the Wait

I have been posting in my previous posts that I'm currently looking for great deals to buy my AC adapter for my netbook and a tripod for my camera. I was so happy to know that buy dot com will be offering holiday specials during Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. If I can get one, then I can say that it's worth the wait of not buying it out of impulse. Guess what? They will be offering free shipping too plus they will be giving discounts up to 70% off. Well, that would be a nice advance Christmas gift for me.

Blog Advertising Store is a SCAM

I have read this review from other site and I thought of posting it here because I was once a victim of these fraudulent site.

This is about scam again. Some people already warned me about this Blogadvertisingstore.com. They said that I should stay away from this site because they never pay our reviews. Even there are few group of people that claimed about getting payment from this site, but there are many more that never get paid for the reviews that they made for this site.

In the beginning, this site was using Payingpost.com name. But later on, they changed their name into Blogadvertisingstore. But the layout of the website is still the same. Even the login code that I have is still the same one as I registered with Payingpost.

In the beginning, they said that they will hold our money until 50 US dollar. But later on, they changed their policy again. They will reserve our account until it reach 100 US dollar. I still try to follow the rule. And actually they should pay me on the first of April of 2009 since I reached 100 US dollar already in my finance account.

Guess what? They did not pay me. I tried to mail then more than five times, I got no reply at all. So I guess I can say that this is a scam site. Don’t bother to write for them anymore.

My New Site

I have wanted to maintain another site of mine but sometimes laziness makes me feel of doing so. Good thing, an angel buzzed me again for the second time if I want to have another one. Of course without a second thought, I said yes. Guess what? I have it just last week and what's the real score is it's already cached/indexed by Google and of course it's wordpress host in which I like most. I hope I can update it the soonest so that I can use it the way I want it. Well, as of this time I'm still updating my other blogs so that in due time my new site will be launched.

I still have my old site that is still on free hosting and I'm considering of buying a new domain for it. Hope to update it the soonest and I'm still hoping that after giving birth my passion in writing will be back to normal. Oops! I'll just give you a little hint of my new site..."it's never too late to be fabulous'!. :)

Good Communicators

Good communication occurs not only when we know what we want to say, but also when we know the person to whom we are speaking. And to know one another requires a willingness to let others know our weaknesses and limitations.

Paul urged us as believers to speak truthfully with each other (Ephesians 4:25). He also admonished us to be “kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another’. That’s Christ-like love, and it provides the security in which good communication can thrive.- Haddon Robinson

Listen to understand, then speak with LOVE!

Unforgettable Place

Last Halloween special, we went home in our little hometown with my family. Since my granny’s house is a bit far from the city, so we just stayed in that little barrio with lots of fruits to eat and fresh air to breathe. I remember before we went home we picked some “tambis” and bring it home, guess what makes it funny? We have to wear boots because it was too muddy since it rained for how many days, but to no avail we used the muck boots of my Aunty. Hahaha… that is why that place has so many unforgettable memories to cherish with since my childhood days.

Don't Fail to Make a List!

Every time I will go to the grocery store, I'll make it a point that I will bring a list with me. Aside from the fact of not forgetting what I wanted to buy, saving much time is the very main reason why. Just like last weekend, we went to buy some toiletries but guess what? I lost my list at home! Ggrrr...I was not able to buy my hubby's acne face wash in which that was our main reason why we went there. Anyway, lesson learned: don't fail to make a list and never lost it!

Let's Aerodance!

Just yesterday, our office had started the aero-dancing for the interested employees. Well that's actually a good idea since office employees like us need to sweat it out the unnecessary fats that has been stored for so long just doing the monotonous work. But in my case, I'm exempted since I'm pregnant but some of my fellow workers really devoted their time because they believe that through natural exercise is one way to save money rather than opting on which diet pills work best. Well, maybe after giving birth I will join their group, hopefully!

Our Baby @ 10 Weeks

Our fetus is only about 1.2 inches / 3 centimeters long from crown to rump and weighs less than a sixth of an ounce / 4 grams. Even so, it's busily swallowing and kicking. Each day more minute details start to appear, such as fingernails and peach-fuzzy hair.

The vital organs - the liver, kidneys, intestines, brain, and lungs - are fully formed and functional, while the head is almost half the length of the entire body. The forehead temporarily bulges and sits high on the head, but later will change into a more human-like feature.

By the end of 10 weeks, our baby will have moved past the embryonic period and will begin the 'fetal' period. The fetal period is the time when our baby will undergo rapid growth. By week ten, our baby is less at risk for congenital malformations (physical birth defects), which usually occur during the first nine weeks of pregnancy. I should breathe a big sigh of relief by the end of pregnancy week 10!

Thank you Lord for such a wonderful workpiece!

What's Your Party Theme?

Halloween days was just celebrated a week ago, and now where heading to another season which everyone's longing for- Christmas time! I know some of you were not able to attend Halloween special like me and some did, but worry no more the 'must see' Wicked Musical is still up until next year. Well, Wicked tickets are still available in the ticket outlets, for sure my friend in NY would never fail to watch this show!

Back to musical show, our office had this theme for our Christmas party- Broadway Musical! Geee...my supervisor already gave the burden on me on what we will be presenting for the said party. I hope I can solicit more ideas coming from you...

Happy Halloween!

I guess it's our family custom to be home in our little province every November 1 & 2. It's been a year also that we've visited the grave of our dear loved-ones who departed way ahead from us. The pic above was taken last All Saints day....

Love to Sleep

Actually, I’m not a sleep lover not unless I’m expecting a baby. But hey, my 1st pregnancy is so different with what I am experiencing now. Before, I don’t have any sickness- may it be a morning or an evening. Now, I don’t even understand what I wanted to eat- something different yet so delicious in mind. Yeah, I’m into food cravings and guess what, I really love to sleep and sleep. Every time, I came from the office I will immediately lie down in our king size mattress and then just hang my feet on the wall until I fall into sleep. Well, even in the office I’ll see to it that I will have to take a nap during lunch break. I hope I will not gain much weight on what I’m doing.

The Travelers

Indeed, we can call ourselves the travelers since we just keep on traveling these days. Even if I’m still on my way to pregnancy I just love to travel with my family. By tomorrow morning, we’ll be leaving again going to our own hometown to visit our dearly departed loved-ones and to be with our living relatives. I hope as we travel along there will be no break-ins or whatever negative things that will happen so that we can't call any roadside assistance club to help us along. Praying for a safety travel tomorrow!

Perfect Christmas Gift

It's 62 days more to go then it's Christmas time. I would be then so excited to welcome this season full of fun and love. This time would be so different- it will be my first time to celebrate Christmas with an added blessing inside my womb. This would the perfect Christmas gift especially if someone would take time to give me a Nintendo Wii. *wink* (lol) Actually, I have been longing for this since then, I wanted to have my own Wii fit for myself plus their Wii games for my daughter and husband. Oh It would be so great if the Wii Accessories would be added on. I hope somebody can read my post and Mr. Santa would grant my wishes. :)
