She Can't Stay in One Place

I went to the nearby LBC outlet yesterday to make my payment. I haven't registered the account yet for my online payment so I have no choice at this moment except to visit any outlet that will accept the type of payment. Anyway the place is just near so it is not actually an issue for me. I brought my daughter with me because she was also done with her morning class.

While waiting for my turn I take pictures of her busy walking, touching everything around the LBC place. You know what sometimes I am really hesitant to bring her with me because she can't stay in one place. Before leaving the house I always speak to her to behave when we go out. Of course she often say YES. But in the actual scenario here she is caught in the act.

She is at the back of the chair hiding.



Before we left the place her hands and face were so dirty.
Is your 3 year old kid also like this?

Tonsillitis Symptoms

I don't want to say this that I have throat problem, the tonsillitis but that's the fact. I've been suffering from this heartless health condition few days ago. According to my source, the main cause of tonsillitis is a bacteria or virus. If your immune system is weak to fight for that virus then you'll be easily infected.

Here are the symptoms I've been experiencing with my recent tonsillitis:

• Fever
• body pain
• headache
• difficult in swallowing food
• swollen throat
• feeling weak
• cold

So far I have not visited any doctor yet. I can still carry myself despite of my health condition right now. In fact I still able to manage to make my blog updates. I hope I'll be totally fine soon. Please help me God.

Needs to be Organized

My room badly needs new arrangement. It has been messy since I arrived. If you have small children probably you may also experience this scenario. Unorganized place within the house affects my mental function. Meaning, messy, scattered, unorganized room makes my mind the same way. I don't know if you also feel that way, but based on my own perception that is what I usually feel. I just want a peaceful and organized environment. Right now, I don't think that is within my reach because Karaoke singing is also in the neighborhood. Grrrr... It is their source of income. We'll see how far I can take it. As of now I need to start on my very own room by organizing and cleaning everything.

More Kids Learning Stuff

I love buying books and different learning tools for my children. I want them to learn as the easiest way as possible. We have high expectations from our kids. As parents I think that is just normal. But we just remember to take our time and have patience to teach them. We sent our kids to school at the age of 2 1/2 yrs. old. In that way, they will learn to socialize and develop their skills in an early stage. So enough for that rambling, here is the image for what I got the last time I went to the bookstore. I bought wooden puzzle,wooden alphabet and more of the Kumon books.

Home Renovation

I have been tweaking this blog for days. I really wanted to have it makeover for a long time because I was kind of bored looking at it. The image of my old home can be seen below. Aside from the header makeover, I made some slight changes on its border and color. Now seems cleaner than the previous layout. I am not familiar with CSS coding so a bit of headache for me in doing this thing. Well, it's another challenge since I am also back into Photoshop self-learning process.

I'm Glad I Found You

I've been craving for veggies like okra and bitter melon. They are some of my favorite veggies. I looked for these at different stores but I seldom found them, maybe like once a month and only at SuperCenter. I've never seen these at Walmart. I don't know what reason why they don't sell it there.

I was so grateful for finding bitter melon and okra because they are so different from the rest veggies out there. What about you, can your taste buds take what's on the image below?

Watching Movie All Day

It is Sunday once again my friends. A great time for family get together. In our case that kids are miles away, only hubby and I are always together. For this wonderful day we have no plans to go out because we did already that yesterday so we will be watching movie all day. The routine will be movie, eat, movie then sleep. What can you see about that my friends? By the way, some of the shows we'll be watching are Terminator and Tomorrow Never Dies. So how about you, how you gonna plan to spend the day?

Clydesdale Horse

I just want to share with you this beautiful horse I saw at downtown. They call it as a Clydesdale. It is a beautiful breed, isn't it? I was fascinated to take a picture in it because I like the hair of this stunning horse.

Backpacks and Bags

School has just started in our place two days ago. When we went to WalMart a week before the opening of the class parents and students were busy buying school supplies, bags, and some other stuff. Every time I can see kids going to school around our village it reminds me of my two little little children who are now attending Preschool class in the Philippines. I left them on the first day of their class. But before that time we went also for shopping for their things. I bought my son a roller bag which can be turn into backpack. Of course, I made sure that the books will fit in there. For my daughter she has her favorite cartoon character backpack. I saw the spark on their eyes on that moment when they saw their bags. If I am mistaken they were comparing if which one has a jump for joy when they found out that they have new bags.

For students who have numbers of books, I would suggest to go for book bags because there is enough room for the books. A branded one or with good quality would be great so it won't be easily be rupture. Well, the owner should also take good care of their bag for it to last longer. Talking about the care for bags, I am impressed the way how my friend takes care of her bags. Actually people are different. Some just dump their things at the corner after using. Is that your attitude my friend? I hope not.

We know that the price of backpack varies on its design, quality and the place where it is manufactured. When I buy stuff I usually consider those qualities I just mentioned. I want to make sure that I can get a good one because I always think of the long term service. That is my perspective when buying personal things. With regards to that, I usually buy stuff during sale event to avail the discount. If there is additional coupon, then that would be great. This time of economic crisis every penny for me is so important. In fact I am teaching my children on how to save money so they will know the real value or essence of money. Soon I will be seeing my two kids, and then I will find out if the backpacks I purchased few months ago are still in good condition. Anyway, as a mom, do I have a choice if those stuffs are not in a presentable manner?

Victoria Harbour

It's another Monday once again but since holiday so no work. For this wonderful day, I would like to share with you the picture I captured when hubby and I were inside the water taxi at Victoria Harbour. Incidentally there was a Russian ship on tour at that time so here it is in the image. Enjoy watching the photo my friends.

Additional Indoor Plant

I love a home surrounded with lots of plants and flowers. In fact, we are looking forward of having our own place with a big yard so we could plant anything we want. In the apartment where we are currently living there's no way space outside. What is outside is enough for us to sit during summer and have barbecue. We are just renting so I can't complain because the rental is high $1,000 plus and only 2 bedrooms.

My dream to have plants or even mini-garden is way far to achieve. So because of that, I just buy indoor plants at Walmart. Of course I did not buy in bulk. For the last plant I bought is in the image below. I don't know its name but what I know is we have like this in the Philippines. I bought it for $5. Since the pot was small I decided to transfer it in a bigger one as you can see below.

Dreaming Every Night

Hey folks. Do you experience dreaming every night? A certain person in this world does dream every night. What do you think is the reason? That certain person referring here is me. Honestly I find it weird. I don't really like to dream but I think there's no such way of controlling it. I told my husband about it and he said "You eat too much." lol! We just laugh together.

Different theories were formed by different philosophers about dreaming. But still there is no realistic answer about why people and animals do dream. One theory entails that dreams exist to fulfill our wishes. Well, whatever the reason is all I can say is I don't like dreaming especially those repeated dreams 'cause really weird.
