Facebook Addictions

Why are people addicted to facebook? Are you one of them? I am not that kind of addict guys. I have more important things to mind. I am a newly mommy and want to enjoy being with my little Sam. I will give everything I can as a mom. If there is more than best, that's what I have to give to her. I know it's a triple job for me because I have no one to help me of her feedings and medicines. I am only the one who can handle that because my partner is working and he's the one who's bringing a bread/rice and viand in the table. I have to understand that (and you must too, hehe!). Now , I can feel really what mother's all about! So facebook for me a source of communicating my friends, families but not to the point of being addict into it. I don't want to expose much more on my side by Facebook. Facebook is just an online place to hangout into but guys, limit your time on it and have time with your family.

Getting a Health Insurance

The old adage “health is wealth” will forever being true, especially now that a lot of health problems and diseases, like cancers and heart-related ailments plague even the healthiest in all of us. It always pays to be prepared. Getting a health care insurance might just be the next best purchase you can ever do for yourself and your family. This will not only keep you ahead of your game by investing in an insurance service that will be beneficial for you in the long run, but it will also allow you to have many a good night sleep knowing that you and your family is secured whatever may come along. 

Some might says that a health card is the least of their priorities and it is just a big waste of your time and effort, but in case of emergencies and adverse turn of events, it may just be the thing that will saves you and your family from a lot of trouble, heartaches, headache, and financial burden, even.

The Housekeeper

(Posted by Arden Wallace)

Having a housekeeper is the only thing that keeps me sane, to be honest with you. Before Theresa I don’t know how this place didn’t turn into a disaster area! The kids come through here like tornadoes and it’s hard enough just balancing spending time with them and my job without having to worry about picking up after everyone. Theresa comes on Tuesdays and Fridays and just uses our http://SECURITYChoice.com password to get in and she goes to town. I think she spends about 2 hours each time cleaning this place and boy can you smell the clean when you get home from work! I love having help but I do feel guilty at times for shirking my own responsibilities but I’m a much nicer person not having to worry about keeping this place clean. It’s hard enough to keep everyone clothed and fed as it is without adding one more big task to my plate! I think we’ll keep Theresa around as long as she still wants to work with and for us!

Insurance

You might be looking for an insurance agent or do-it-yourself method about getting an insurance for you and your family for the future emergency. It maybe for your home, vehicle, health, and others which are essential here in USA or any place which insurances are beneficial and seems like an obligation. Insurance quote from different companies like from http://www.wholesaleinsurance.net are good way to start from scratch. I don't know much about such but I would love to know if I will get one, one day. For now, I am okay with what my DH provides for our family. Indeed, insurance like medical and dental insurance is really beneficial for me and my DH especially to that I am now pregnant and about to popped-out.

Summer House Floor

Folks do like to change house floors by season especially summer. I can sense they do like it this season because it don't have snows, rain or stuffs like that. They do like to have a wood tiles, yes floor change just like the pergo flooring in any place/corner of the house. Not bad! What's your floor looks-like? Is it carpeted or tiles (glass, wood)? Whatever it is, laminated floors is awesome, isn't it? A happy and cool home then. :-)

Farm Life

(Guest post from: Steve Delaney)

It’s hard enough getting by out here on the farm with a working AC unit but since mine broke last month I’ve barely been able to sleep it’s been so hot in this house. I can’t believe people actually live without the create comfort of air! I called a guy about installing a unit this year but he said they’re so backed up it’s going to take until July to get it installed. He did tell me to go ahead and go to http://shopelectricityratesTEXAS.COM so I could find out what types of rates were available to me which was nice but won’t matter too much until I can get the system installed. The good news is, we get some really good winds at night so sleeping isn’t as hard as it first was and my animals seem to be doing just fine outside in the heat. I figure if they can survive it all summer long then I should be able to as well – I’ve got to put on my tough hat and be strong!

Moving theFurnitures This Weekend

You may not know that we are moving from apartment to another. The good thing is it is not far from the place we are right now. Actually it is just two or three blocks away, of the same city (of course). *wink* Later on, I'll be going to pack-up my computer as well as my DH. Then dismantle my table and chair. The Internet will be cut-off and transfer to the new place, only the cable will be left. The electric current was turned-on two days ago so no problem when it comes to light and other stuffs connected. The Internet will be connected tomorrow at 1:00-3:00 pm. I hope I can connect to it directly so we won't be disconnected for long. :-) I am excited to live in our new abode. Good luck for the arrangements and some other packings for me and my husband. :-) The furniture will be lift-up by some men contacted.

Comfy, Stylish Clothes

If you are to choose, which do you like the comfy and stylish clothes or the branded ones which out of style? I may not sure what you like guys but for sure you would like to have comfortable and stylish clothes like dereon. Branded ones are cool too. Old styles maybe of your taste as well, whatever one likes as long as he/she is comfortable to use it and would make his/her confidence stands-out. That is what all matters. Making sure, we're not out-of-style or at least not far. Isn't it cool to have such? Mommies, mothers, homemakers, we should not going to loss our confidence and be cool as what we are when we're singles, okay? Deal? :-)

And the Moving Already Started

After my husband's four-days off (three days regular off: Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a one-day holiday for Memorial Day commemoration), he finally signed a lease agreement to the landlord. It's a one-year agreement lease with one month rent (good for the month of June) and a security deposit. So we have two apartment rented for this month of June, the current and the new one. The security deposit is being held in case we will be gone on the leased apartment within a year. And also if there is(are) damage(s), security deposit can't be claimed once a renter want to transfer even if it's already one-year. And that's fine, great one though we like to be gone without a year contract. We'll just see how this goes or we can't get our security deposit anymore. Whatever is good for us or for my husband because he really wants to retire next year, hopefully. So then, good luck to me and my husband for the moving. I was all-packed up. Oops, not that so, we're just half way on the transferring but once my baby shower ends, this will all be fine and good for moving. By July 1st, we're already on our new abode. :-)  Yey!

Will Be Moving Next Month

It will be June in the next three days. Today is 29th of May by the way. Am just so glad that finally we will be moving in another apartment, the one bedroom - one bathe. After all, that is what I really like to. That is because this current apartment home we have, have two bedrooms to which it is unneeded but the rent difference is 300. Doing the math, DH already told I can have my motorcycle with it when we will move then to our planned country by next year. We might just have to stay for one year according to the lease agreement or we cannot get the security deposit equivalent to a month rent. At the same time, DH can still work and have our extra. DH already forwarded our rent for next month (he intended to pay it in advance) at the same time gave the letter of notice for one-month evacuate as per agreement by the landlord. Then my Tuesday we will sign the new agreement to our new apartment home. I can't wait to transfer! Wish us luck! Thanks in advance. ;-)

It Is Cloudy Day Today

Yes, it is cloudy day today here in the place where I reside and DH reside. In fact, it was just minutes ago that the sun shines, to think that it's already past 3:00 in the afternoon. I thought it would rain but it didn't. I have to check the weather forecast later of what's the status and the weather later. I was not able to take a walk yesterday so it has to be a must-to-do for me today, speaking of pregnancy routine for at least 30 minutes a day. For sure it will be cold so I have to bring or wear coat. I was planning to go to farmer's market lately the morning but the weather did not cooperate or I was just lazy to get-up. Ha! The result is I don't have something to cook for my "ginataan" or vegetables with coconut milk, ooh well, the leafy vegetables, that is. I also was not able yet to wash the black socks, we (DH and I especially DH) are running out of clean black socks already. I have to wash it today, so later I won't have to forget or else am an inconsistent wife. :-( Anyway, I just have to load to the washer and dryer and that's it. I just have not to forget it! So then, still I have a great Sunday! Have a great Sunday to you too! Enjoy!

Planning to Collect Classic Disney DVDs!

It has been a long time that I was planning to collect or at least watch all the classic or famous Disney movies. Fortunately, I watch some of them but not all yet. Good thing, I have the privilege to fulfill such. Next week should I plan to start collecting them, I can buy couple of those as DH gave me something (though he did not know what would I am going to get, the thing is he is okay with what I wanted because for him, something that would make happy *charrr* *wink*) and am thankful for such. And I have to complete, or at least complete( there are bunch of classic movies you know.. but I will only get those which I love watching and more famous) before I will give birth. I have now the courage because I have a baby girl soon that will inherit those. Hehe! Well, young and adults love to watch classic Disney movies, I know. So it is always in-demand. And anytime I want to watch it, I can get it in just a snap. No need to rent, or whatever that is. It is also a good keep as it is a collection. :-) Good luck for me. ;-)

Life Insurance

For some people, insurance is not a big for them. And I was one of those people who believed that way, well, not now especially that am here in United States of A, to which such word is just normal and seems sophisticated or practical for family. Life is inevitable and if you have spare bucks, it is great to save for future incident. There are insurance agents available anytime and anywhere, offline and online or how you like to contact them just in case you already need one. Just think of family's future and just be optimistic. It does not cost much anyway. Well, am hoping you and your family the best! It is not only our house or the place we stay-in but also life of our precious beloved.

Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanna greet a " Happy Mother's Day " to all mommies, mommies-to-be, and also to those women who have adopted kid(s)! Yep, I have to include women who are called " mother " even though they did not deliver a baby from their own body but because they love their kid(s) just like a mother. They are included in the word " mother/mommy " for me. I do not know about you but that is what my perception. :-) I also believe such person(s) is worthy of such word than those who just deliver a baby but do not love the baby at all. Kodus to you all of you mothers! May your genes spread the universe, that many are still like who and how you care your kid(s)! :-) God bless!

Have a Great Tuesday (for tomorrow)!

I will be busy tomorrow. I usually scheduled my time of food tripping with my new-found three mommy friends here in my place. I always thanks God and them for knowing one another. They came in good timing. The food trip and laughs are on-time. *wink* Okay, tomorrow DH will also get the key from the candidate landlord. The candidate apartment to be moved in is just here in this apartment complex, downstairs side which is really great and I wanted especially that am pregnant and will be giving birth soon this year. If not, there would be nearby too, just comparing. The key will be given to me and will be returned after DH work in the afternoon. I can see it more than him (he's not info seeing thoroughly but me anyway). So, there's already two works, not have to be taken slightly. Well, time management. I hope I can cope up with it. I am not that good in time management you know, especially if it's food trip or laugh trip. Hehe! I intended not to go out this day in order to get the only one plan tomorrow but then here it is. But then, okay, not so  biggie deal. I can work this out though not so enough time with friends. Well, we can come early to make most of our time at the same time, the other is not compromise. ;-) Well, have a great day and a fun great Tuesday for tomorrow!

Aboard

No, not me but a friend and a co-blogger of mine, Analou, is aboarding on a plane)as of this time. We had a long phone chitchat lately afternoon and we even want to go longer but knowing that she have a flight this night, we just agreed that she have to have an extra-check of her stuffs and to have a rest so she can have a lot of energy during her travel. She will be going by the way to our birth country, Philippines (Gingoog City specifically), to visit her extended family (she and her husband is leaving here in Los Angeles). We are neighbor in Gingoog City (speaking of my father's family who lives in there). And yes, she is having a 12-days vacation in there. I bet she will be having fun to which I am happy of thinking about it. Eating foods that she misses a lot which could only be found in there. Ah! Foods, memories, fun, family and friends equals happiness. I wish her all of that. She deserves it.

I hope and pray for her safety flight or travel too.

Family Home Entertainment

We (my husband and I) will be three soon in our home (apartment-rented home) as I have a baby-in-my-tummy. Soon enough too, we will be moving to a new apartment or a small house to which we will live in the first floor. I am not comfortable living in a second-story or any floors but on the first (or at least for our temporary home before moving in to our very own). In that way, I can easily go out with stroller without any hassle or any help from neighbor, or alike, during hubby's working hours. So new environment and a home plus additional one needs a good entertainment hub. Though I cannot say we do not have a good entertainment currently (we have two TV, one for him and one for me but more on we bond together on the bigger one which is in the bedroom) but it is great to have a better flat panel tv stands like the two below, to which the first one is for our bigger TV to put in our living room with the entertainment stuffs like DVD and its tapes, DVR, CD's, etc. I can even put electronic picture frames on it and some little decors to beautify and also the DVD speakers on the sides or above the entertainment media center, then the remote hub just on one of the shelves so it is just in one place or furniture stuffs. 

(I was given a right to use these images. Thanks to Sean from CSN Stores)

The wall mount which is on the right is perfect is perfect for our traditional TV which is no problem regarding its performance and cable channels or we can buy other wall mount perfect for its type if DH wanted it changed into a flat one to which is great for our bedroom or baby's room. I can't wait to move into another apartment home or our home of our own to settle down for a family of three.

50th Birthday Gift for Your Mom

And so moms are important in a family, much more to a single-family. I mean who's the only one supporting you or your other siblings (maybe your father is already in heaven or etc). Her birthday is coming up, not only an ordinary birthday but 50th. What would you like to buy for her? Sure it could be a daunting task of thinking what would it be. Glad there comes fiftieth birthday gifts for mom to choose from which gives an idea what could it be. A caring, thoughtful and wonderful (and many more words to describe) mom deserves a special gift. Let her enjoy and have fun during his 50th day! God bless and advance happy birthday to her!

New Year, New Entertainment?

Now that is new year already, I bet your home has some new stuffs. Maybe new home entertainment too, like  home theater system? That would be awesome. If have not yet shop from Christmas bonuses and should have to wait for another paycheck for it is not yet enough? Then worry not because stores are just waiting for us. Hehehe! Oops, I have no plan yet to buy one but if that time comes, I would love to have it.  Usually the "can-afford" ones or those who have budget have a new year, new entertainment! What a fun!

Vacation Time

Once in a blue moon, oops! It is my choice anyway. It is just too bad that hubby cannot come with me this vacation due to his work. I am just lucky that he is okay for me to travel alone, that is how strong am I. I would not disappoint him anyway. I have to take good care of myself for him.

Now that am in Gingoog City (in Philippines), I took a little time for this. Even if it would not be published yet, for some reason, the important is it is here. That I take time to write which is what I like. I haven't took to my husband yet, hopefully tomorrow. Internet is not that good plus my siblings' sweetness and bonding. :-) I know my husband is kinda worried but I also know he will understand as jetlag and all that little time (15 days) need to manage to do what I wanted to do. This trip also intended to bond with my paternal side. Wish me luck, I mean wish I enjoy. Haha!

Tomorrow will be having a roasted pig and many more foods that I missed. Yey!
