It has been a while since the little guy is requesting for either a pet fish or a bird. Last Saturday, I thought we were finally getting him a pet bird as we treaded the highway of Tagaytay. It turned out it is not the kind of bird we wanted, so the search is still on. Read the rest of this entry »
Last week has been pretty hectic for me. I believe it has something to do with the season. The holidays are pushing PR agencies into more and more events and product promotions. There are just a lot of interesting launches that I can’t miss out on last week. But this week, although I originally planned to just go to one event this week, I think I’m ending up having to go to a maximum of three.
Who doesn’t know Apl.de.Ap of Black Eyed Peas. He has made such name in the music industry and even for someone who does not have a particular liking to the genre of his songs, I have come to respect and love his music, especially after having heard of the MTV, Jeepney Music, and Department of Tourism collaboration.
Thanks to Iris of PinayAds.com, I was able to join the give or take 900 Canon PhotoMarathon participants yesterday. She lent me her Canon IXUS 100 IS. My DSLR is Nikon, so that instantly takes me out of the game. With only a day left till the marathon, I cannot be more thrilled to learn that I can still join and Iris has an available cam to lend me. Yey! Super thanks, Iris!!! 
After having signed up for the Canon PhotoMarathon, I have become hopeful that I will be able to make it. We only have one Canon camera and the lone one is already registered under the hubby’s name. I tried loaning from friends but most of them are using Nikon or Sony. Agh!
Sure, I should really have gotten used to it. Almost 8 years married and I am still in shock sometimes how the hubs can outdo himself every time. Here’s the usual scenario in our home — Jeff coming back home after leaving less than 5 minutes ago (if we’re lucky). Coming back for either his wallet or mobile. Crazy, eh? Well, today is especially unbelievable. But then again, not.
We treated my folks from the 2,000 GC that I won via the Between Bites contest last week and when we were walking towards the parking area, I once again saw that look in his eyes. Something is lost. The parking ticket. That’s not the end of it. When he dropped us home, he left his Barong. He changed to a shirt for the youth service. He usually brings with him the barong that he will use for the evening service. So I called him up to have him come back for it. I thought I was about to shock him with the news that he needs to come back for something. But it was me who got surprised because of the unfamiliar voice at the other end of the line. It was Ric. My dear husband left his mobile at church!
Mothers all over the world are currently busy crossing out checklists upon checklists of those people they need to get presents for this Christmas. One great shopping idea is the Holiday fun Eyeglasses you will find from the New Arrivals of the celebrated $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses. Here is my favorite from their most recent collection.
Our home is more than two years old and the beautiful ceiling already needs some repair! When we were still renting apartments, repairs and home issues are not really major issues for our family. Major repairs always have to be taken care of the landlords and most often than not, they don’t anyway. This is why a bunch of books were destroyed because of the leaking roof from the last apartment we rented before we transferred here. Yes, the same landlord that promised to install an emergency ladder but never did.
After having seen a fire eat up four houses and an SUV just a block away from that apartment, I vowed to leave the place the soonest possible time and we did. Thank God for his provision. We were on the third floor and with a baby with me, and a very narrow alley to get to our apartment, you can only imagine how I stressed over this.
After resisting for so long to create a new blog with homeschooling as its niche, I’m seriously considering it. I have first thought about it when we first began homeschooling last week of June. But because of so many things I am still adjusting to, I had to shove it over and over.
With the hope of not filling our parenting and marriage blog with things about homeschooling, I really ought to create this homeschooling blog. Name.com and Adwords Google tabs have been open in my Chrome browser for days now, thinking of the best domain. A homeschool blog is inevitable. Especially so that it takes up half my day. I have so many things to share and I cannot just bombard all my other niched blogs with everything about homeschool.
We’re thankful that the first things we hid in the suitcase that we brought to the neighbor’s house during the flood, were our gadgets. Although a few still went under water, Read the rest of this entry »
