Shiela shinging baa baa black sheep

Shiela is fond of singing with her CD's like baa baa black sheep and I am glad that I found children's song at thesimsonstage.So, for the sake a boring day,we spent singing some of the children's song and I managed to record this one with less disturbances.She sang alone,bravo littel girl!

Treadmill

I am aware that being dyspneic sometimes has something to do with my daily routines.After getting up from bed,do some light house chores and spend the rest of the day sitting in front of the computer while looking after my daughter.

I really have to exert some effort so as to keep my heart active.I can not go out and jog because of the freezing temperature outside that until now I am not used to.I thought that buying a treadmill will help.With this,I will be able to run even inside the house.It will keep me fit and active.Good thing is,I can get discounted threadmill online at Pro-form.

The "f" word

A bomb to our ears.People were astounded yesterday as the leader of Ireland used the "F" word in the Dail(house of Irish parliament).Though he made a public apology today,still we can't believe that a leader like him used such word.But come on,I think he is just real,hikhik.I can't believe that I am confusing myself.But to think that people chose him as a leader,he shouldn't even attempt to use that word.

Oh well,I am not judging him.Let his people decide next election.

Number plates

I have been seeing different number plates on the road and I don't sometime understand if the law allows them. I mean, style of the plates and the details written on it. I only have a limited knowledge about car/vehicle number plates here and that they also depend on the county and country they are first registered. My boss before has his number plates personalized after his name Ted.You can easily distinguish that it's his car among others because of the words TED followed by the month and year of registration.I love the idea and as I asked him,he said he is paying much for it than normal,huh!

I only knew that I can do that here too. We left our car's number plate as is; we haven’t thought of amending or changing the style. We can do that later when our family is complete, a girl and a boy. As I have said, we are growing and I will love the number plate to be our initials, isn’t it cute? I also learned from 4plates.co.uk that I can also order from them name plates and some cool stuff like messages for birthdays and special occasions. You can also do the customization yourself by choosing your font and the size of the front and rear plates. They also can answer some questions that you need to know the rules about number plates. I am learning a bit and I know you will too.

Would you like to have yours too? It’s cool and fun to have it your way. You should try visiting them and try to make your own style. After all you are free to browse and then later decide what to do next. Want to give someone a surprise? Browse their novelty items too. Enjoy browsing and have fun!

Done my 1st driving lesson...

Felt scary when I first moved the car myself.Of course the instructor is beside me telling me what to do.It was just easy,hmm.I have problem with the steering when cornering as I let go of the steering wheel real early even before completing the turn.

Getting hold of the steering wheel and manouvering the car by yourself is completely different from sitting and telling Shady what to do.I can understand why Shady was so pissed off the time I shouted at him because of not driving so smoothly.That time was his first time driving without an instructor.I admire his courage driving a car along a busy road,with the drivers behind nagging at him because of delaying them.He patiently told me what that L plate is for...because he's a learner driver!They should understand him.Now it's my turn.I don't know when I can drive alone by myself.One lesson done and I need few more before I can attempt to steal Shady's car,hikhik..

Lighting fixtures

Lightings give additional beauty to our home. They also depend on how they are presented but for me; gorgeous designs from trusted sellers will make them more attracting.

I am looking for light fixtures for my planned new house. I am excited to see how my house looks like in the future when it's done. At the moment, I am browsing at lightingshowplace.com for the bathroom lightings. I fancied their designs and so I wish I can ship them home.

Disturbed and bothered,whatever we call it...

SAHM,very boring!

I couldn't think of living in this country for life!I wasn't used to just staying in the house the whole day with the same routines!I am very bored,gush!I would have loved to go out and see places but once I am there,my mood changes.Yesterday,I took Shiela to shops,that's the place I can consider entertaining.Butttttt the buz made me dizzy.I spent my day yesterday sitting in the corner as people also triggered my headache.I almost throw!

Shady told me that he would love to send us home this September and give birth there in case I am pregnant!Tihik,don't wanna go for the pregnancy test kit.I am almost 2 weeks delayed.We planned for it and sometimes I feel regretted!Of course I won't like to give birth at home as the baby won't have an automatic citizenship.S/he will need a visa in case we will head back here unlike Shiela.That wouldn't be fair isn't it?

Bathroom faucets

I am just from the website that sells bathroom faucets. The reason is, I am thinking of building my own house back home and I am in the search for nice accessories for bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms.

FAUCETOUTLET offers free shipping in most of their products and they are also offering discounts. This is big savings if I decide to order from them. So if you are thinking of a house/bathroom makeover then you should visit their website today.

Almost..

I wanted to earn more and save more so that I can make every plans possible.The issue is,since we moved in here,my mind has been so busy.I mean since we thought of moving out.Before when there were just 3 of us,my mind is all set before 3pm.That means,by that time I am all ready for some blogging.But then today,I realized that keeping the house in order will only keep me busy for no reason at all.

Okay,I thought I got no chance anymore since I got no page rank.But then as I logged in today,some tasks started to popped in.Unlucky me,can't get them on time.

Fitted designer kitchens

I have been very reluctant whether to carry out repairs of our old house back home or just build a brand new one where all the designs will be based on what I want. I was browsing lately for some good kitchen designs that will best suit my family. We are growing and I am thinking of going home for a while so having a new house is really a priority now.

I have seen some fitted kitchens online at adamsons.co.uk and their designs are just marvellous, I would love to have this "Mr & Mrs Patel" fitted for my kitchen. This is perfect because it looks very elegant. Try to check them now too.

DVD for aerobics...

I ordered a DVD 2 weeks ago from ebay and I thought I was already a victim as I have been waiting for it.The specified waiting time for the delivery is 5-14 days.It hasn't elapsed yet,there is still a day to go and luckily it arrived just this afternoon.

I am currently viewing it now.I am thinking of doing a little exercise everyday,hopefully it can help me.Because I am still hesitating whether pregnant or not,I am doing it very lightly.Walking will still be best but I am far from the park here now and towing a kid is not all possible because she has her wants whenever we are out there.

Importance of a travel insurance

Frequent travellers must be familiar of what travel health insurance is. We are also aware of it when travelling. But because of the additional cost that we might be having, my family doesn't have it as a necessity. This thriftiness in us I know isn't good because we are dealing with our lives here. What ever may happen to us, say accidents, food poisoning, or something unexpected will completely be out of the country's responsibility.

My friend whom I said is travelling to London was praying for her safe because she declined to get a travel insurance. I just wish everything will be fine.

Up to driving now

I got my learner permit(provisional license)today from the post.We applied for it last Friday and I am happy that the service is really quick.I am now up for driving.I am currently looking for a driving school that is close to our house and that I can be able to choose my time.

I should have done this driving issue back home,cheaper and very convenient.The whole classes will only cost me up to Php5,000.00 compared here that they are asking an hourly rate of €40.Oh well,my fault.I was too relaxed!Anyway,I am not going to take up to 10 lessons as Shady will be there to assist me.Shady is worried because the controls are far from my short legs.I needed to get the seat closer which he feel that I may have difficulties in steering.Do we have to have the car adapted?

Car insurance

As a beginner, my husband is paying high rates on his car insurance.There are lots of considerations to take and I do understand if we are a bit tight these days. After all this is for our good.

Hopefully when he is a mature driver, we can then change his insurance cover. We can get quotes online to compare insurance rates among the outstanding insurance companies. This will help us in saving much money rather than being hooked up with expensive ones.

What's up to my plans?

Plans,plans,plans....never ending plans.We got too much of them and nothing has been done.In my layman's term..."Segi lang uu way ikog!..."

I asked my parents if we can start building a new house.We can't repair the old one because it will be useless as we have problems with the plot.They wanted us to go and use the area which doesn't have problems but I don't like there.It is so close to the shore,meaning no drinkable water available,not even for bathing.As we will be surrounded by sea water our what will be "well" will be salty.My parents like there because it's peaceful,not too dirty when it's raining as sand absorbs better than soil and no more trouble to whoever would like to claim the land.The one that we are currently in has been sold by the owner to my Grandfather using the word of mouth(old days) and because other people are wicked,they sold it again,now with title under their names.What can we do but to present the agreement dated 1969.My parents never ever paid tax for it.Have we known that this problem will come then we should have resolved it before my Grandfather died.It's only him who knew about everything.

Anyway,I got a bit of money that has been kept aside for that purpose and since nothing has been done,it's now a history.The money has been use for something else.Oh huh!

Budget software

We really have problems budgetting my husband's salary.We tried to track down all our expenses so we know where the money goes.This is one important task I failed as a housewife.If we got problems budgetting our income with just the 3 of us,I know that big companies too.But with the help of a budget software,all these can be lessen.The trouble of tracking ins and outs is easy.

Prophix can help every individuals and organizations achieve their goals;hit the target and gain more profit.If you think you need an expert's advice then visit their website.

I am not a risk taker...true!




Your Risk Taking Level: Low



You live your life with the motto: safety first.

You prefer to not take any risks at all.



But by never taking a risk, you're chancing something else...

A very boring and predictable life!



I am always scared to try new things.The fear that maybe I can't overcome such failure is really stopping me.I have not gone to somewhere unfamiliar because I am afraid that I may not be able to take the road back to where I was.

One good example was when I am about to marry Shady.I didn't tell any neighbor that he is coming to meet/marry me because I am afraid that he might not show up and that I will turn to be the "talk of the town".It was only my Aunt and Uncle in Manila who knew it then later my parents.They were far from me so I got to let the people close to me know what's going on.At least,it turned out positive.

The only thing I can remember risky was when I booked my flight coming here without my passport at hand.My passport was still in the consulate,ready to be posted back to my address in Cebu.If the consulate failed to post my passport the day before my departure then I have to face circumtances which Shady finds it annoying!

Travelwares

A friend was here last Saturday because she wanted to borrow a small luggage/bag.She has a job interview in London within the week,I wish her the best.Because she's travelling every now and then,I guess she should have something for herself. I tried checking luggages and found out that Luggage Universe is selling different types of luggages.They got even for business use like laptop bags and sleeves.If she hasn't time to check some bags in shops then I must give her the website to try.The website caters most brands including Briggs and Riley and offers free ground shipping.

If you are thinking of buying some travelwares then go visit Luggage Universe.

He's hot

It's only 2 months that we've moved to this house and Shady's plans changed all of a sudden.He was too hot to have another baby.We have planned before that we can have it 3-4 years from now as he knew how hard things are when moving houses and with our budget.He also realized that it isn't easy having a baby in the house as we can not do things straight.When he was on his holiday from work,he stayed at home despite of his wish go home to visit.Also,when I got callers for cleaning we found it really hard where to find someone to mind Shiela for less.That's money/opportunity for me.

But there are times that we felt contented.We don't need money but babies.How in heaven that our minds are changing?Today,I am in a battle.If my period comes then I will be delighted.If it doesn't then maybe this is the right time for the next one.You think?

Probably?




You Are Probably Not Pregnant



It seems like you're in the clear, but you should really take a test to be sure.



Probably yes,I have the sme feelings I have some 2 years ago when I was pregnant with Shiela.Though I am only days pregnant,I can feel the difference with my body.Luckily,I dont feel sick.

Pregnancy,pregnancy...i am very excited to feel those moments again.What I fear are the sleepless nights and the peeeeeeeeeeeee...every second.Am I ready?50% YES and 50% NO...

Mortgage lenders

We have been discussing about applying for a mortgage rather than renting.We are renting an amount that is over the mortgage monthly repayments or sometimes twice.Renting a house doesn't give us a guarantee that we will always be here and that it will be ours after paying for years.I thought what we've discussed has also been the topic of each household.No one likes to live temporarily under a roof that isn't ours. As a new family,I guess we still have time to check which mortgage lenders are offering the best rates.

I just read about Somerset Mortgage Lenders Co.I tried checking their mortgage calculator and so far,we can afford the price.Though we are in Ireland,I know what they showed me really help me think that,dreams do come true.Hopefully in the nearest future.US residents should take this opportunity.Their services include many other things like debt consolidation,divorce buyouts,refinance and home improvement.Visit them today.

Am I pretty?


You can always spot Shiela in front of that mirror.If she needs to see herself after bathing or when she is fitting something just like that sunglasses.I have a grown up girl now,any moment from now we will be sharing grown up things like perfume,hair dyers or make up,hik!

I am sad that she recently broke her sunglass,that was when she was angry.Kids nowadays really express themselves.Maybe not only kids because that's what I do too when I am angry(hint)!...I just hope that we will be as close as sisters.

Top 10 diet pills

I have been thinking to lose weight.It has been 16 months since I gave birth and the fats that I gained are just too much.As they've said,there is no bad food,only bad diet!I tried changing my diet but I just couldn't stay without rice that has contributed to my problem now.Aside from that,I always have meat,less vegetables.

I tried drinking some pills that can help me with my digestion.My system digest too slow as my doctor said.Now, I am looking for diet pills that will be good for me.The good thing is,there are top tens of them that I can choose at consumerpricewatch.net. At least with this,I can really see what really works.Maybe you should try visiting them too.The products are listed with the prices.Anyway,it's not that counts,it's the quality.So good luck!

Speaking of followers...

Why is it that most of the blogs I visited particularly Mommies are talking about a new baby?I can't imagine having one this year as I haven't had my full freedom yet.I would have love to go back to normal.I mean I still have some hormones left with me associating to babies as I am still nursing my toddler.Hubby is really excited of having one now so that before Shiela reaches 2 the new baby will be here.Oh my...

Aside from these,I also need to find ways.I need a job to have my goals done.I needed to carry out my project for home before this year ends.I couldn't stay quite here while my family is being underestimated by nonsense and dull people.Our house is too old now.Though it's only 20 years old but it really requires repair or I will go build a brand new modern one.Let's see if they'll still mind my family's business.BUt i guess 20 years is old,hikhik...I was only 5 when that house was built.

They taught that once I am off from Philippines, I will be earning and plucking money from a tree.Life is cruel sometimes.As they've said,"ILA PA RON,UGMA ILA NA POD",ngeksssss...the wheels on the bus go round and round and round...

The right medicare for Seniors

In my country particularly in my place,Seniors dont have any benefits pertaining to their age.They got no support from the government.Best example is my Grandmother.She hasn't any pensions as she hasn't worked before.She is now living with my parent's help and any other family members,luckily.She's a stayed at home Mom and grandmom all her life.

There is a chance to claim your pension if you reach the age of 60.But that pension will not all be guaranteed.The pension depends on how long you've work and how much you have contributed,part of the tax you paid.It takes more years before you can have it or never.I found this very disturbing because I am now living in a country where everything matters.Seniors are entitled to a medicare and got nothing to worry when claming it so long as they have done their part.How amazing the government is outside my country.

Having medicare also has options,the more they pay,the more benefits they will get.I am sure that you understand to what medicare is for.If you do have it,then you can upgrade your medicare cover to medicare advantage where you can have multiple benefits than just plain entitlements.Please visit maturehealthcenter.com for more information about this matter.

25 kilos of rice,enough for a month!

Rice has been part of my day as a typical Filipino.I start my day and end my day with rice.I just couldn't live a day without rice as I was raised with that food.It is getting used to it,same with people here that are used and contented with just eating potatoes.For me,potato is not enough food.We use potatoes as engredient to our typical dishes.

Since I am living with my husband and SIL,I got to change some of my routine.I can have rice for lunch and some potatoes,plaintains,semolina or beans for dinner.I have my husband used to rice because that is always the food he sees on the table when we were just the two of us.But since my SIL joined us,we need to consider her.Today,I decided to shop for Chinese rice.A type of rice that we all agree to get since they grow it in their country.Meaning,Prudence my sister in law will be eating it as long as it's not everyday.I decided to get the bigger pack because 5 kilos of it wouldn't last long.That is to save trips to.

25 kilos of rice is enough for a month,I just hope sO!

Addiction treatment

Getting help in addiction treatment is now easy as there are rehabilitation centers available.Addiction is an addiction and the best way to treat it is to choose the center that will do everything for its patient's sake.That's what Sunset Malibu is about.

Sunset Malibu has all the needed things necessary for the recovery of every patient.It sets at a peaceful and nice environment creating a speedy and full recovery.They treat all type of addiction so if you know of someone whom you think is suffering from an addiction,please do refer him to them.You can also visit the website for more information about their services.

Sharing of responsibilities...

I lived before with my Aunt's family when I was studying in college. I found some things that to me aren't pleasing. She has 4 kids, the 5th died young because of complications. Her husband is into tropical fishes that made him superior to all the members of my grandmother's family. For me, it shouldn't be that way. My father, other Uncles and Aunts respected him to the extent of doing everything to please him. The issue there is money. Because he has it, so what?

His wife my Aunt and so as the rest of the household is afraid of him. Not even to talk to him when he is around because of his attitude that is so disturbing. He is nice at times but never you try to change his mood or else the day will be ruined. I as part of the household tried everything not to violate his rules. No going out in the night even to talk with my friends in the neighborhood.He disciplined his kids and that's one part that I think is more than enough. His eldest was 16 that time when he scolded me of not looking after him. He went out late night and stayed with his teenage friends for a despedida party(one of his friends is going to migrate to US with his parents) while I was sleeping. In my deep slumber I was shocked when he opened the door and tried to squeeze all the pillows and blankets to check for the eldest but he can't see him. He has the gate locked and to know that his eldest jumped out of it was a big mistake.

After a few minutes of checking all his friends, we found out that his there enjoying the party. I can understand that a 16 year old boy want's freedom at times but he can’t. He blamed his boy's attitude to the mother. Because he thought that the mother is too giving. He also blamed me because of all the good things he has done to me; I couldn't look after his son. I was crossed and was pissed off. My father raised us so well that all of us respected him. Never in my life that I came across of such attitude while at home. The responsibility that they should both share is not equally divided. He shouldn't blame it to anybody. He was out in the night sometimes, come home in the morning, he is such a womanizer and a gambler...and that has been kept in his kids' mind.

Wood blinds

We got big windows in this new house that we moved in for a month now.And my problem is,we don't have enough coverings for them because I always change curtains once I feel that the smell from the food I cooked sticks to them.That's the reason why I always wanted to get something that can easily be wiped and not necessarily removing them from the windows and put them again,it's tiring.

I realized that wood blinds will be the perfect choice for me.We used it before in the former accomodation and I was happy with it.I just have to select any of the designs available at selectblinds.com where they can also help me get the right design and measurement all at a reasonable price.

My mistake!

I had my theory test yesterday for my future driving career,hik.It felt like I am taking a periodical exam as it was a bit scary...I don't feel anything unusual until the last minute.I was shivering the same with many other examinees...God, it looked like real.

I was given 45 minutes for 40 questions.Because I finished in less than 10 minutes,I reviewed all my answers.Then I found out one that was just confusing,so I changed my right answer to the wrong one.My mistake! I should have got a perfect score.As soon as I got up and went out to the reception area while waiting for the results,I already know that I made the wrong decision.I was a bit mad at myself,I didn't think of it.But anyway,I am happy that I got 39 out of 40 questions...whew!
