Angry-angry-han...

Don't be surprised with this entry guys and gals.This is a tag that Recel gave me.I like it because it made me browse all the CD's where I burnt all our old photos.Unfortunately,I dont see an "ANGRY "face.All my photos were smiling telling everyone that I can never be all that serious.I got this photo a week after Shiela was born.I am not angry but itchy.Shady made me angry because of all the actions I made,this is the one that he found interesting so he snapped me.I am actually scratching my oh my...hahaha.

It looks funny isn't it?

And I am telling you,below is when I dont feel like picture taking.Shady asked me and Shiela to look at the camera and smile for him but hek I wasn't in the mood so as Shiela.She was busy watching her programs on TV while I am doing my routine.

It is really annoying that you're concentrating and someone ask attention from you like so badly that they need it straight away.Shady is complaining actually because he said we no longer have time to sit down and talk like husband and wife,plans for the future and the like.I am busy and he's sleeping the time I'll decide to call off the day.

He feel really alone because when i am here I dont like talking to him esp when there are tasks to do.I hope he will not leave me and look for someone who is willing to talk to him 24/7,gush.

Look at that curls,this was when Shiela was 8 months and 16 days old.

What's with the weather?

We recently received our electric bill and it shocked us a lot.It was doubled with what we usually get with our bi-montly bills.I can understand because we are using heaters most of the time just to keep ourselves warm.What's up with this weather here?We can stay with out fan in the Philippines, for me staying in our house in the island is perfect than staying in the city that is hotter.

Huh,what can we all do?Mornings and evenings in summer herei is still cold.But that wouldn't bother us a lot than on winter.When I was back home I always dream of going to a cold country to play with snow.Unfortunately I haven't played with snow yet because Ireland hasn't.It is really cold to the max but there's no sign of snow.I envied some areas or countries who have been scrapping snow out of their ways.I dont know if having it is good or bad.

Today as we all know,Chinese who are planning to go home for the Chinese New Year are all trapped in some train stations due to the weather conditions that is really out of control.

Look at what a big girl can do!

Our Shiela is a big girl now.We used to put her on her high-chair when feeding but now no more.Whenever she's sitting there she'll do everything to unbuckle herself which is dangerous.Every after eating is our turn to eat,and can you guess what she does?She always wants to join us but Shady has to distruct her because we are limiting her from taking salted foods.Shady gave her her bike and the box so that she can entertain herself and the bed so that we dont need to put her to the room when she feels asleep.

Okay just look and see what's behind her.These photos were taken when she's eating.She's very smart to use the right hand and to scoop the food from her bowl.The pink spoon that comes with that pink bowl was missing when we went out one day with the pink beaker,oho she's really a girl.

Oh you see now,she doesn't need help anymore.

She doesn't want to wear a bib too.

Oh di ba?

Hoho,my little girl sometimes is really a good girl.But of course there tantrums are there.I even got mine,shhhhhh.

Feel like home!

I met my in-laws last Sunday for the first time.It was our first time ever to meet,gush.I put up almost 2 years here now but BIL wasn't able to meet me maybe because he was busy or I don't know.He was the culprit I shall say to how we met Shady.It was him who first sent me an email tru a dating site and finally introduce me to Shady as I wasn't ready to marry him.He asked me to marry him real quick,gush.

I was 21 and he was 32.I have said I don't want a quick relationship,I wanted us first to get to know each other before deciding to meet.Until one day he called me that his brother(Shadrack)wants to talk to me.Shady was 26 and said wanted the same thing as I do which is a long term relationship,that is to get to know each other's black side first before going deep to the good side,unsa ba oy...term no earth! Oh my,if they happen to read this mapatya n gyud ko bah.BIL#s wife doesn't know this so even if we chatted for long I never ever mentioned that his husband has been there in the Philippines for several times for a hunt before finally meeting her and marrying her.It almost slipped off my tongue when we were talking but hek,Shady was there to remind me not to mentioned to her.

Anyway,everything went up successfully.I am luckier because I am with Shady...the nicest man on earth,ako ra na ha!

SIL with her son...came out the same features with Shiela.
Straight hair when dry but curl when wet.That's how Shiela
when she's less than 4 months old.Now dry or wet it comes out curl.

SUS kiata gyud sa Momi ni Shiela oy...ngisi lang!

The Cam-FIL families...naks

Someday maybe?

Being a SAHM(Stay at home Mom) is relaxing as you do not need to rush to a day's job.There is peace of mind to think that in your arms your kid will always be safe rather than leaving him/her in a creche' or montessori.

The issue sometime is the truth that we are not leaving just us.We have extended families that need to be supported especially when things are tight and tough.I have been praying that hopefully I can get a full time job,stable and comfortable someday.

I am tired really when there's a problem and I can't help.There are times that I feel helpless.Im not a hero I know but just to be there in times of need.Gush.

Total negligence...

The issue of moving houses doesn't only affect your environment but with some community services you are into too.We lived before in Dublin 4 where most of the embassies are found,we are living few steps from American embassy,Health Clinic,Church and Shops.I am used with waking up late in the morning ever since I came here,most especially when I was pregnant that even if I just got up from bed Shady will still want me to have a nap and that's until now that Shiela is here.This is the reason that I always miss Nurse's clinic appointments in the morning.I hate to get up early,I should have a full sleep to make my day complete.The clinic only runs every Tuesday from 10-11:30AM.

I only realize how this issue is totally neglected.I got a call from the Nurse asking me if Shiela got her 7 month's full medical check-up,and that I should do it before she reaches a year old so that any concerns with her developments mental and physical will immediately be intervened.I tried to see if there is a nearest clinic around and I found one,they refer me to a doctor to do the check-up and will be given an appointment which will be posted via mail but I got nothing until now.I went back there today,unfortunately I forgot that this clinic only operates til midday on Wednesdays.I was wondering why there were no kids around,that's why!We came there aroud 3pm already.GUShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Ringtones and videos...

Do you love music on your phones?There are wide variety of selection of ringtones from any type of genres of artists who topped the chart.There are also free ringtones,wallpapers & funny videos to download at http://ringtones.msnemotions.org.

The website is cool as you can clearly choose by name or type of music you want to download.I love polyphonic ringtones because it reminds me of my phone that was left back home.I just can not imagine how this tone was immediately preceded by real tones.

I love Alicia Keys "No one" in the Hip Hop ringtones sections.It's not only that,there are also couple of music from her to choose there.And if you feel like dancing,you can check the Dance ringtones.

Are you hungry?

Anne made me laugh,look at her message on my tagboard.She teased me so I gonna teased her too with these foods that has been rotten I think?These were the left overs on Shiela's birthday cum New Year's eve;

I hope you can guess what I have here.
(L-R: Pansit bihon,Sweet&Sour Pork,Spaghetti(Pinoy Flavor),
Deluxe Rice(Shady),Pork Chop,Spicy fried chicken...

Way lami mao wa mahurot!

What's wrong with these foods?I only got 2 Filipinos who knew of these foods but they dont really eat well as they do have some preparations at home too.Some of our friends have to make sure what they're eating so they just have a little taste with each food.I do understand ofcourse! It's their first time to take a glance of Pinoy foods.

Hmm,they've asked."Ritchelle,tell me what's in this?"....then pick and taste and nod,"hmm...delicious,very interesting.:D...

Theory Test!

There are lots of requirements nowadays before we can drive our set of wheels.Aside from thousands of euros we need to get it,we also have to have extras for the maintenance and insurance.That's the reason we can not get our car despite of the desire to take our all the inconveniences we have when traveling.We do not have money for the car and for the insurance.I don't think we all that blessed but I saw thousands of people,those who got car still have troubles with traffic and parking when away from home.

Today,I don't know what came out to our heads that we booked for the Theory Test for driving license.We both need to learn to drive and we both need the license,that is if the world turns upside down,who knows tomorrow we could win the lotto? But have we got tickets? None either.WE dont gamble.So hard to play safe these days,huh.

Hopefully Shady can make it.He needs the computer for 2 weeks now so that he can review some of the guidelines with the rules of the road and all the regulations.GOOD luck!

Health and Safety in the workplace

Getting to know the health and safety procedures in the workplace is the most critical rule that everyone should consider most particularly the employers.You can not get a job in a construction industry if you are not qualified.And getting qualified means that you have to get yourself packed with certificates/safety pass before they will hire you.

Do you know to get all the help you need if you really want to excel in this field? Then you should visit CSkills.org. They offer employment trainings, guides on the importance of health and safety and some important information that will keep you up to date with constructions.They know everything about UK's policies and they are in partnership with construction sectors.Rest assured that you will be in the god hands.

You should start getting yourself in order now as this profession is very much in demand.Besides, having a full knowledge will always be with even if you prefer not to work for sometime.

Official Rugby website

When I came here,I found out that basketball is not the European's favorite type of sports like what we have in the Philippines.My husband is fond at watching football especially when WORLD CUP was on the go.But then of course to fight boredom, I got to watch with him until I understood the game little by little and started to vote teams like the Barcelona.BUT that's not only what is being played here as their is Hurling and Rugby where Ireland is famous.

We are living in Ballsbridge before few steps from a rugby pitch.Every time there's a game going on we can clearly hear the screaming from rugby fans.I wasn't allowed to go there,my husband won't allow because I was pregnant.We ended up watching it on TV but sometimes we missed it.The real match that disappoint us was FRANCE against Ireland.Irish were defeated in their own land.I can not imagine where my mind was that time because I really forgot to open the TV.Okay I said, I should list some of the events,future schedules and so on.Sometimes companies will give us the schedules but since I am on the net everyday maybe it will be helpful to get updates from an Official Rugby site,the RBS6nations.com.They provide highlights of rugby games,tournaments,latest news from the team and many more.

You got to visit this site.I am sure you'll find it very interesting.

Increase productivity with email marketing

There are lots of ways on reaching out to your customers in updating them with your new products and services.Others do that through banners,billboards, media and postal services.But one way that is more preferable for others is through email that will only take seconds to send.Email newsletter can reduce some of your advertising cost and this will be effective even more if you subscribe for iContact Email Marketing.

If you open an account with them for the purpose of direct email marketing you will get more disk space,attract more customers to read the email they just received and not to perceive it as SPAM and lots of templates to choose from.

The service starts from just $9.95 per month and they are offering a 15 day free trial.So what are you waiting for?

Problem with leasing...

We are renting a bed flat here with any other 8 flats but it is only us who have lot of concerns with tidying.Since we came in the place has been kept up.Though the agency assigned cleaners but who cares to keep up to a standard cleaning if no one's supervising?Isn't it wickedness that someone has been paid for the job he isn't doing?I am getting sick every time I see rubbish along the corridor.I am also getting pissed of when I see someone throwing rubbish through their windows! I made it clear that when I sweep outside they should see me and notice it that they also have to help in keeping our surroundings clean.2 flats were all men but that wouldn't be an excuse that they can't clean because they are men,my husband knows how to clean.Hell to them.I am very upset!If only we have our own house or if only the landlord cares for our sake then these other tenants must be kicked out!grrrrrrrrhhhhhh...

On Shiela's birthday, there were lots of cleaning needed. It will be a shamed that visitors are walking along the hall way with too much disturbances.And aside from all these,when our neighbors open their windows,,,the stink is unbearable!How do they do that?How do they able to breath? Very very disgusting!

Mila ko au tawn noh.IF only they stink buwad,I can take it!

Birthday Videos...

Hear my annoying voice on
the camera...very annoying I am telling yoU!

Part of the videos that has been cut into bits of pieces because the camera man(Shady) was busy too.We're late actually that day because we scheduled the party at 30 passed 2 but 5 minutes passed still we are not completely ready.Shady was still dressing so as SIL when the first set of visitors started to pop in.I don't know who's to blame because I have done all my possible best.

The blowing of the candle wasn't taken even.That was the highlight of the day...grrrh.I was shaking because I don't know how to start and how to get all the things sorted.BUT as I've said,Prudence was my helping hand who came at the right time(when I needed it most).

Small Business Loans

We'd been wanting to open up a small business even if it means involving ourselves into loans to start it,am I right? I can relate situations like these because being able to have something to do at home can really make a difference.Like me who is a stay at home Mom,I know paying bills can be a difficult task especially if our other halves are only ordinary workers who rely onto his employer's business success.Setting up a small business at the right time can be rewarding.It doesn't matter what business we have in mind for as long as it helps but I know it's the capital and the perseverance that's important.

Looking for a loan without the need of collaterals is what we have to consider first.As for me, I got nothing to give as my guarantee, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as I can pay my repayments.And that service can be found at Americaoneunsecured.com. They don't need anything like collaterals to have our applications approve and they can approve it in just a short period of time. You can apply for a small business loan from them easily.You just need to provide documents they needed from you to smoothen the process.Small business loans are available anywhere but AmericaONeUnsecured.com offers the lowest rate as possible and you can they don't require business license as proof.

I once have a small business at home while waiting for my visa.That was easy then since it doesnt require me to have a big capital and it was just my past time.

Braun coffee makers

I love coffee really.I always have it before pregnancy as my daily drink.But of course I have to consider our health(mine and the baby) when I was pregnant that's why I decided to stop it for a while until I stop nursing.I got the addiction from my Mum who also love it.And this season I have not given her a present yet as I was too occupied and I only sent them some cash for them to buy food for Christmas and New Year.

I was thinking that maybe it's time to give her a Braun Coffee Maker from Wize.com. I got to be wise this time since it's still the beginning of the year.Braun coffee makers are affordable for as low as $23 perfect for me and everybody.


There are reviews and ratings available in website that will help us decide.So you should take a peek their too.

My pretty baby...

I'm a proud Mom please don't blame me for saying so.Shiela is so pretty for me especially in these photos.This is the revision of the baptism photos as we did not find time to get her a stunning one and yet she wasn't focused but at least she managed to give us a wonderful smile.

I was afraid the she might fall from the table as we left here there.You can see my arms with the first shoot even.She was a bit funny after some shots because she felt intimidated.Oh well,let these photos tell you.

Who doesn't like the paparazzi?
I get to give my best...hikhik

Is that one itchy?

You got it baby?

That's why she wanted to get it,like licking things...

Hmm...I shouldn't stopped
her from licking...the mood has changed.

Working with Shiela

The birthday party went successfully but let me show you the preparations hours before time.I got a hand from sister in law and I can say I am lucky that she's there because aside from being a cook,she too was the babysitter.She also helped with the serving of course.I can not say I am not lucky to have her, so as my family?

Working with a baby didn't stopped us.As Shiela obviously was tired from watching TV she wanted us to carry her but we were all busy.So guess what the Aunt has done!

The African way of carrying a baby...

I was afraid that the towel could slip off

My feelings these times were unexplainable because I didn't expect her to help in anyway.She is alone and she got anywhere to go but to spent her Christmas,Shiela's Birthday and New year with us.Isn't it amazing?I felt like I was with my family back home.
