Goodies from Te Ahmz

Three days ago I received a package from Orlando, Florida and that was from a good friend, Amiable Amy, (Filipina like me) who married an American too. She is a blogger who owns and manages many blogs, cool person, witty and yeah, a one-of-a-kind. She is such a blessing to many and a friend to hundreds. Her character stand such words. You will not regret if you are a friend of hers. Though we haven't meet yet in person (we chitchat through Facebook and blogs *smile*) but I can assure what I said in here, even if you will ask me when we meet then. You can put that in mind and surely, I will answer you. Oops, it is not because of the goodies/present from her two months vacation in the Philippines (she grew-up and works before in CDOC, a teacher by profession) that she sent me that made me smile ear to ear but because of her personality. I admit, it touches me. Who wouldn't? It would surely kill the missed thoughts of my birth country, these goodies made it neutral.

Above were the goodies from a priority box. I was so happy having such a thoughtful person. And even happier that I shared it with my friends who I happened to met two days ago. That " polvoron " and dried mango and that " cloud 9 " chocolate made my day. Thanks much Te Ahmz! I could not wait when I can give back the thoughtfulness you have given. If that day won't come (hopefully will), you know how much I thank you for this (Dios pagbayad Te Amz, but mamawi jud ko..). ~hugs&kisses~ Diary, keep this in memory.

Letter That I'll Never Send #2: To My In-Laws

Dear my In-Laws,

I would like to thank you for raising a good responsible son. You have raised him in a well-mannered way and am grateful for that. Though I haven't met you, I am sure that you are in a good condition there at God's hands. As heard from your son's stories, I can tell how you love him with all your heart and how great good parents you are. You are both cool and responsible as well. Your baby book that you have written as a diary book of my husband (your son) from the day he was born until the day he was in his own memories, I can tell he really treasured it and love you so much too. And also the little spoon and fork story he shared to me that he stashed it because it was given by you and let it be treasured was an amazing one. Though the fork was misplaced but the cute little spoon was still here in fact, he gave it to me to keep it and put in a treasured place. That was cute and sweet of him, thank you for it. I also seen the pictures of the two of you. I cannot forget those especially the one that you are wearing your nurse uniform and cap and to you FIL, the one that you are holding a very big fish that you caught. Also the pictures of the two of you while you were attending FIL city councilor's meeting and the other images were taken as FIL was having his speech and having a conversation with his fellow officials, those were adorable. You were also taken while you guys were on the table eating and laughing. Those were such black and white big images (some are colored too) but the quality of pictures are cool because those are still here intact without any chips and any discoloration and such. By the way, your house is cool and I can tell you MIL is really great in keeping your house clean and orderly. I adored MIL because she kept the house like that even if she was working then. DH told me also the fountain you had in your house which he liked to play and just had her moment near on it. :-) I remembered he (my husband) told me how strict (but cool and fun) FIL was but that is normal and DH realized how important it is in household so everyone will be in order. I am grateful on you and forever respect the two of you.

Love,
Your DIL

Valentines Tag

I was tagged before Valentines Day by my new found Manang here in blogland in courtesy of Dhemz and the gang... (~_~)---and no other than Manang Rose who is energetic, smart, intelligent, and full of love wife and a momma. Thanks Manang Rose.. and here it is:

Here are some simple mechanics:
1. Post this tag in your blog (multiple blogs allowed) with these mechanics.
2. Don’t forget to use the widget above linking to the site.
3. Post a photo of anything that has the color red.
4. Include also a saying or quote related to LOVE or the LOVE MONTH.
5. Tag as many as you can and instruct them to get back to Arlene's site to leave their url if they have joined.

A definition of love from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin:

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine

The above image is what you will find if you happen to sneak in front of our bedroom---cards, balloons and flowers (which is not in the image for that photo but now you can see it two longs talks with red flowers on it).

This was taken last valentines 2008 with the stuffs which I put at the top of our bedroom mirror and until there's still it, the chocolates were eaten already... :-)

This was my (w/DH of course) valentines last year (2009) and the present valentines was in my Ruby Tuesday latest entry

~How was your valentines day by the way? Mine, was pretty good we spent our day shopping... lol... Keep the love burning! Sorry for the late post Manang Rose.. heheheh.. :-)~

His Insurance Plan

My DH is into different insurances. Though he didn't like to get insurances because it ads only to our expenses but he is obliged to just car, it needs car insurance before it will be up and running or else authorities will be up on you since it is a law. His car insurance company is way old in him already and I could say it's good to have it aside from it is a law but I don't know if how did he acquire it---if he use car insurance quotes to get such desired price because it is pretty a good deal. He don't have any problem and it is serving him good. As to what I knew starting from our bf-gf relationship, I haven't heard that he got accident or whatsoever but he said he did and it is serving him the services he wanted to. I am thankful to such. Really, it is good to have car insurance besides the fact that it is a law. Well, laws are being imposed for the good of the people so its pretty good to be obedient and careful at the same time in driving. Be safe as always 'coz health is wealth!

Happy First Anniversary to My Sister Blog

My sister blog Cacai's Steps and Journey is one year old today, I would like to greet "Happy Anniversary" for it. (~_~) Actually it is the main blog of the author. Time really flies fast. It's just like the author conceived a baby yesterday and then the next time it is already one year old. :-) So then, may it continue to give an unsolicited wits and share what other finds. May it continue to entertain its visitors when it comes to reading and such. It's just that it didn't pursue its plan to have a blogoversary giveaway due to some time issues. Thank you then... and Happy Blog Anniversary!

A Tip from Me if You Forgot Something

Take it from me (I am crossing my fingers), this is one of my personal experience which I take a keen observation and remember as it does its time. I observe that sometimes our mind is occupied its task due to the load of memory work that we could hardly remember sometimes. Well, its not that we have Alzheimer's disease (as for me), but it's just that we have a lot in our mind's plate. With that, I have a tip for you (to which perhaps you know already?). Okay, the thing is "back to your last place where you at, to which you plan to do such task. Then, stay a little while and try to remember it. I tell you it worked and works for me. Just try it.. perhaps it helps on your situation too.. There's nothing hard in trying (if you don't have a choice).. :-) Hungry stomach also is one cause of forgetfulness. God bless and hoping you all the best!

Thankful Thursday

There are a lot to be thankful for. Our life, the air, the water, foods, health, and so on and so forth.. But for me the most I am thankful for this day is that my Aunt(wife of my Uncle{brother of my mother}) who was hospitalized for one week got out already from the hospital. It's nice to know that she's good already and was at home now. I hope that she'll be completely healed. For now, that's more than I can thank for. Thank you so much Lord. Lately, tears ran down on my cheeks as I read on Uncle's text saying "Thank You" because .... Such message touched me and felt emotional as they are. Though I am broke, but am happy! Thanks God for the big blessing for this day. And the rest is history.. :-) Have a happy Thursday!

Advance Happy Thanksgiving!

On November 26, Thanksgiving Day in United States of America will be held. So I will just great you in advance folks! Thank you for being here and a part of this blog. Thank you for all the visits, comments, messages, and readings. Apparently, to those only who reads or to the future reader.. (~_~).

What do you plan to do that coming day folks? I know family bonding with some turkey and pumpkin are the basic stuffs you will prepare on your table. Thanksgiving cards and greetings as well are being distribute to those worthy of such. To be grateful is great but being thanked is better. All in all, whoever into sharing each other has a good heart. God bless to all of you out there.. and again, thank you for all. You know already why folks are being thanked. To utter a word isn't a biggie deal but the thought of it. I wish you all the best! Have a great advance Thanksgiving Day!

My Thankful Thursday #1

I am thankful for today because I got the answer as to the email message to me, it is therefore a password phishing. Though it takes time to get it done, but am happy to see the result. At first at first glance it seems it is and it isn't until further solution and digging by my own. Thanks that I have the patience in finding the solution lately. It made me think that it's true since when you see it visibly, it is. On the other hand, I was hesitant. Thank you Lord for guiding me or else my gmail account would compromise. I don't want to talk further what nuisance could create this malicious hacker to my email. Thank you for that.

I would like also to thank for my assignment that will due today that I got it before due date, I did it on the eleventh hour which usually I didn't do that. Thanks Lord for guiding me the determination though my mind was weak yet you complete it. Thanks.

Thank you for the blessings Lord. And I would also like to thank for the trials even though I don't like it. (~_~)

So there you go.. By the way if you would like to join this meme, just click the above logo to be redirected. You are most welcome to share your thankfulness behind the struggles or some. Don't forget to link the meme owner or else you will be charged for plagiarism, okay? Have a good day!

CREDITS FOR MY LAYOUT

I would like to give credits to my designer for this blog--Cacai M's Place to Dhemz of My Life's Perception and Inspiration(her main blog) of which you can see her link at the footer of this blog--for my template and I made some of the adjustment or the recoded, yet, it's her work so I nod on her. I told my hubby at the time we chitchat on ym that she's my designer. whew! heheh.. thumbs-up Dhemz! (~_~)-- and hubby already know her. By the way, I contacted her for this blog template some time at the last week of June and she said she has still something to finish and I understand because first come-first serve. So then, until first or second day before 4th of July that I have this and do some of the recoding by myself. Thanks a lot Madam sis for some help and am sure I will do business with you too one day. Anyway, I thank her through sending an ec credits of a net 10T ec credits(from my main blog) and it's up to her if she will encash it or do some exchanging, or expanding the horizons of her blogs through advertising through ec. For me, I haven't cashed out from ec ever since--that's my hardwork and hard work of her pays my hard work. heheheh.. anyway, I also gave her just like that amount(10T net) for my other blog Cacai's Step and Journey for the help she extend to me of my original template. I know words are not enough and making of template are hard?! so she deserves a thumbs-up and I guess I will give something for her on my birthday.. sshhhh.. it's our secret. I don't know the exact date of her birthday though.. but I'll try to find out in fs so you might check it out what's my surprise? let's see... (~_~)
