Filed under: [E] Bits n' Pieces — Admin @ 3:48 am
I was flattered when my friend, Queenz , included me on her Featured Friends post (thanks!) and I promised her that I’ll do it soon,so here it is and I add a little fun with the help from Glitterfy.com and I created a graphics that I can distribute to my chosen Featured Friends so they can post it on their blog once they decide to do it so their readers will know that they’ve been featured.I choose Mickey Mouse because he is my favorite cartoon character.Feel free to be creative but you can use Mickey as well if you want and I’ll leave the direct link , and here’s how this Featured Friends works.You can return the favor by adding the friend that featured you.

1. Mars is one of my featured friends.
2. So when Mars will make her featured friends for the week, she has to include my name and she will pick 4 or 5 more from her own list of friends.
3. She will inform ALL her featured friends to keep the ball rolling.
If you use Blogger, you can add your featured friends using the new page element ‘Link List’. And here are my Featured Friends: Mars , Dana & Debbie, Thess, Sasha ,Queenz of course .

You can read everything about how this Featured Friend started by reading here and here.So keep it rolling.

Here’s the direct link for the graphics.

Impulsive Shopper!

Filed under: [E] Bits n' Pieces, [F] Pixel Perfect — Admin @ 9:00 am

Not me!,well,almost…Actually,I went today at the mall to buy a card reader becoz I’m getting tired of burning all my picture in a cd and I think it’s getting costly in a long run,and as my niece and I browsing the Mall for a cheaper price (and thank God,I got lucky to get one for only Php280.00/$7.00)we stop by to a computer shop that sells a refurbished PC and at first, I almost want to buy one it’s just so happen that I didn’t brought the money with me which make me thankful because later on I realized I don’t really want to buy one. I want to upgrade my digicam soon because I think mine was already outdated,I bought it for $400 3 years ago and I want to get a new one sooner than later.But I got my self a slipper because the one I bought from Cabrelli already gave me it’s resignation. I bought a simple looking one,just enuff to cover my feet that I don’t consider as one of my asset,but it feels comfy as well.

It was fun though to spend time with her,we ate lunch at Jollibee,we both have the Ricemeals,her’s is Chicken and I got the burger , and then we tried their latest Ice Craze ,it’s their latest treat for Summer, and both of us thought,it’s just a Halo-Halo with lotsa toppings. Then we just take a walk on our way home to get rid of some calories since the mall is not that far. It feels good to eat something cold specially since Summer is just a couple of days away but you already feel the heat. As everbody know that the Philippines have only two kinds of weather, it’s Hot and the other is Very Hot, :D .

Fun With The Boys

Ocean Park     We went to Manila Ocean Park last Saturday together with my kumare and her family (she and her husband is Kendrick’s only Godparents)It was nice to have fun with the boys,I was actually planning to go there that Sunday,but they asked Kendrick if he want to go with them,(as always),so Patrick and I just followed afterwards.The place was nice,but there’s still few construction going on within the vicinity.I think they gonna build a hotel next to it.If you check the website,it’s pretty cool and the entrance fee(Php400 adult,Php350 kids) is just fair,although I expect more than what I saw. I mean they’re trying to do it just like the Ocean Park in Hongkong,but I guess it’s still a long way. The boys had fun watching so many fish with so many different colors and then we went to Luneta right after since the park was located just behind the Grandstand. I already forgot when was the last time I went there. Rizal is still standing proudly with his very loyal guard, but the park itself is not as clean as before. I wish the government do something to revive it because it’s a really nice place for the family,just to hang around,bonding with friends,let the time passed,and then watch the world with all the hassle and dazzle.

    Then last monday,I went to the dentist to get my teeth clean,but the dentist found out I have a Periodontitis (I think I heard it right), it’s severe case of Gingivitis,and she said that my teeth is perfectly fine (thank God!) but it’s my gums that I have to worry about. She said that I need to do the treatment sooner than later, I told her that I’m already aware of it since I also went to our family dentist in US,but I decided to do the treatment here since the total cost of treatment is $550 and here I can do it for only Php1100.00 for three sessions. She prescribed a mouthwash(Orahex) because according to her,those regular mouthwash will give you the fresh breath but it won’t heal my gums. I hope to get it done before we leave for Canada.

crosstitch     And the last but not the least, I just wanna post my latest crosstitch project,I outdone myself this time for finishing this one for less than 3 weeks. I was supposed to post the framed picture but I forgot,so just settle for this.(*smile*) . I still have one at home,it was Mickey Mouse,and I did it for only 2 days,no big deal though because the design wasn’t too big at all. I also have two pending design,but I’ll take it to Canada with me,what I’m gonna do is to buy all the materials that I need, because it’s a lot cheaper here. I got lucky because hunny is very supportive of me and he don’t mind me spending money buying the stuff (hey! he bought me a book cost $25) specially when I was still in US since I can’t buy a small piece of DMC Thread there,I have to buy the whole piece. Right now, I’m on with the Last Supper,my cousin asked me to do it for her,I know I’m running out of time with it because we’re leaving sooner,and I told her I have to bring it and then I’ll just send her the finish product. It’s my first time that someone asked me to do it ,I mean I only crosstitch for fun,as a hobby (aside from reading and shopping) and now it feels good that somebody appreciate it and she’s willing to pay me for doing it,but no,I want to have fun with it,I’ll do it because I want to,not because I need to.

Snow,Snow And more Snow!

Filed under: [E] Bits n' Pieces, [F] Pixel Perfect — Admin @ 5:51 am

Hubby and I talked on the phone this morning,and he said I’ll better be glad that we’re here in Manila where the weather is awesome,he emailed me this picture thru his cellphone. We live in Ohio where winter is always on the maximum level,just last week they had another snow storm,and hunny told me that right now,they are in Level 3 of Emergency,no one is allowed outside not unless it’s an emergency.Snow is really fun,you can eat the fresh snow but stay away from the yellow one,and the fun lasted for a couple of days until it ruin your everyday life,I hate it when it’s dirty,I hate driving in a slippery road,I hate shovelling the walkway,I hate going somewhere wearing too thick coat.He also said it’s another reason why he want us to stay here for two months or so until (US)summer, he’s worried that the boys might suffer thru some colds because of sudden change in temperature,I know he’s right but I can’t wait to see him again, but looking at this picture now,I’m having a second thought.Here’s our van,and he just finished cleaning it.He said that in the couple of days,it will be in the 40’s,and he already consider it “warm”.

and did I hear my self saying,”Thank God for our perfect weather here in Manila”? ;)

My Kids Says The Darndest Things

Filed under: [B] Patrick, [C] Kendrick, [E] Bits n' Pieces — Admin @ 6:56 am

Ok,I love to have a conversation with my boys,specially if they gave me a matter-of-fact kind of answer as if they really knew what they talking about. Yesterday,Kendrick really surprised me and here’s how it goes.

Mommy:”What you got?”(I saw his holding an empty wallet)

Kendrick: “It’s my passport”. (as if he knew what is passport)

Mommy:What you need it for?

Kendrick: “I need it because I’m gonna ride the airplane” (ask me to get up from the couch bec he’s gonna drive the “plane”) :)

This one with Patrick that really crank everybody.He was holding a Kiatkiat, It looks like a calamansi but the color is orange.

Patrick:”Mommy I know whay this is small”.

Mommy:”Why”

Patrick:”It was supposed to be big like Sunkist,but it didn’t grow”.:)

Another one with Patrick again.When our cat had a kittens,and most of the time,she always have 5 cute li’l kitten,but this time,there’s only three,as Patrick was watching the kitties.

Patrick:”Mommy,there’s only 3 baby,maybe she will give birth again tomorrow for another two” :)

And on financial matter:

Patrick:”Mommy,how much money we got?”

Mommy:”One Thousand and I have no change right now to give you five pesos”.

He approached my sister who live next door.

Patrick:”Tita Wilma,do you have a change for P10,000 pesos?” :D
