Over Peanut Butter

When we were kids, my sister and me used to eat peanut butter alone without bread. My sister would scoop a big spoonful of peanut butter out of its bottle, and starts to lick and eat it again and again. She enjoys eating as if she’s in heaven. Those were my fond memories of the peanut butter.

Classroom Cheating

Cheating is defined as a trickery action that is done by students who are desperate enough to pass a certain exam. Even during my college years, cheating was already rampant among some of my classmates. But as a time goes modern, students’ cheating techniques also go “hi-tech”. They use different gadgets like cell phones, internet, hi-end calculators and other electronic gadgets in cheating. Cheating only means two things- it could be a means of survival or afraid in facing the exam brought by unpreparedness. Doing such fraud really depends on the person. But for me, it is not really the result that’s important, but how to be truthful to ourselves on what we learned from our lessons.

Real Motherhood

Being a mother does not only stop in carrying your baby in your womb, bringing him in the outside world, and feeding him with your own milk. By giving unconditional love and care for those who are unloved also makes one a mother even if they are not our own. And this love will help them become good and responsible members of the society.

Embarrassing Moment

A friend of mine has a brother who has a habit lifting his leg on his chair while eating. It is also a custom of Filipino to eat like that especially if our meal is bulad (salted fish) with fresh tomatoes and eating with your bare hands. Anyway, one night their family had dinner in a fancy restaurant. Unintentionally, her brother removed his shoes and lifted his leg on his chair. Oh my!

Tomorrow is Valentines Day

I am excited to celebrate Valentines days tomorrow with my hubby. We have been married now for about 3 1/2 years. I am very blessed to have married him. And I am happy that we now have 2 beautiful girls, the eldest is 2 years and 9 months and the youngest is 4 1/2 months. We will be celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary in May. Wow, it's gonna be soon, I'm so excited.

I Need A Break

Wow, I need a break! Hehehe. She knows how to get our attention with her crying for what seems to us no good reason. Apparently, it is because she is lonely. Especially, when she is in the car seat. I guess every baby will cry; because, they are left in the backseat. I would cry too, if I had to sit back there alone! Anyway, she stops crying as soon as someone rescues her from her loneliness. She is a wonderful baby, and I am excited to watch her growing in all her ways. So guys, don't worry about it I am a super nanny.

It's a wash day today. We did not wash our two weeks dirty clothes. Whew! That's a lot.

Missing Him

Suddenly, I miss him in the middle of my loneliness. I ask myself if that person is still worth for me. I am married and have children too. I can’t let him destroy our marriage. Not sure if he already let go the past because he kepts sending me an email love letters. Sometimes, makes me scared when someday hubby will see it. What I did, I blocked his email address in my address book. I miss him not for something else but for a friend. I don’t have any feelings anymore with him, it changes everything especially I have children now.

When I was A Kid

When I was a kid, my mom and dad used to buy me a boy's toy. They are desperate to have a baby boy in the family because all of us are girls. I was jealous with my sister for having a baby doll, kitchen utensil toys and etc. So later, I adopt loving my toys but in the I ended up like a boyish woman. When I reach to sixteen year old, I started to change the way I look, my way of caring myself, my clothes and I tried to move in a feminine way.

Am I Old?

Oh, Am I getting old? Today, I was going to the gym but I thought today is Sunday. I was supposed to go to the gym at nine in the morning but I got up late around 11:30AM. Oh boy, I am so forgetful. What's on mind all the time is, I want to get and write three opportunities a day in a regular basis. Sometimes, it rained money but on the next day is nothing, nah...

Mouse Clicking

Sometimes its really amazing. My 19 months old, knew how to click the mouse( she also has her hands exactly like how we do, I really felt like clicking a snap , at the way she holds the mouse). When we reduce all the windows, she just keeps clicking the mouse until a window opens. You won’t believe, once she kept clicking randomnly and I found she had opened a folder on the desktop( of course not intentional). Not just this..when I open skype, she knows his grandpa is going to talk in sometime isn’t that amazing? But I am an internet addict, whichis very bad..but its just because I have nothing to do for the moment an dI am sure its going to change. Sometimes I am amazed at the way he does, sometimes I am worried or scared that I am not teaching her good things.

Woke Up Late Again

Yesterday, I woke up late again at around 11:30 in the morning. It is so nice if I have enough sleep though. I don’t have a lot of energy if my sleeping is not enough. My entire day will be miserable and tiring. Since I got up late, I went to chinese buffet and I ate there by myself. I can’t imagine I ate three plates and a dessert. Wow, no wonder I don’t I am getting fatter. Before I left, I bought foods for hubby.

Good Time to Start

This year, I want to change my eating habit,
With no fattening in my intake.
I will exercise at least five times a week,
To keep myself healthy.
This year I will understand,
And stop criticizing people,
I will spend more time with my family.
Less in sitting on the computer.
I want to save money,
For my vacation in the Philippines,
I will stop yelling my daughter,
Instead, teach her a good manner.
Love, reward and praise myself.

Retire in the Philippines

Some day, I hope to retire in the Philippines. I have enjoyed my vacations there, and I think I will love living there. There are many things to do there, and there are many places to go. I enjoy going to the scenic places, like the beaches, mountains, islands, oceans and waterways. One of the things that I enjoy the most is the food, especially the fruits; my favorite fruit is mango, and there are many different varieties of mango, but I like the taste of them all.

New Apartment

Our family is growing, so we need more room. Soon we will be moving to a new apartment. There will be more room for the children to run around, so they can play in safety with less cramped space. We will set aside half of the apartment just for the children and us to be with them also. The second bathroom will be a great benefit, and there will be extra water with 2 water heaters. There will also be to refrigerators and 2 kitchens. We will have plenty of space and utilities for all of us. Yippeeee!

Leaking Ceiling

Tonight we have unexpected stress problem in our apartment. The ceiling is leaking again. Over the past two weeks, we already had an experienced like this and we complained this problem to our Landlord but there were no action yet. I'm tired of waiting, I think he is to slow for this matter. Tomorrow, we are leaving for a Holiday vacation in our family in Virginia. I wish that when we get back, everything will be fixed.

A Godmother of Two

Irmee, just reminded me of my godchildren this christmas through this meme:

This meme was created to remind us “Ninongs” and “Ninangs” the number of our godchildren and our responsibility towards them as they grow and mature as better Christians. Here are the rules:
• List all the names of your godchildren
• Tag at least 5 bloggers
• Update the Tag Train

I only have two "inanak" in my life. Some of my friends offered/invited me to be part of this tradition but most of the time, I declined them. One of the reason, their children will expect for a gift every Christmas and Birthdays. He-he, I am not rich eh.

Holiday Vacation Time

This is very likely to result in a blog hiatus for maybe a week, as all my family have a vacation. We will be spending the Christmas of my in-laws. I can't access an interenet there, that is very frustrating. What can I do, this is a family gathering.

Ok, see you guys when I get back.

Cooking Experiment

Comment from previous entry by: CC, Kljs and Tere.

Ahh, shoot! Well, maybe that’s owing to me being my usual busy self, I've been roaming around in the internet to gain more traffic, kinda busy, then my friends come over. You see. Wednesday, I had friends over in the apartment to do some cooking for our friend's birthday, which we’re actually making experiment cooking. We were cooking Filipino recipe but we don't have enough ingredients to add on. We ended up with adding of a little something and something on the side. I think we did pretty good of the outcome, it taste good and yummy!
