please don't bite

I am a multi-tasker. I have managed a number of chores all at the same time. I have learned how to cook, clean the house, play with the kids while the laundry is on. I do not feel tired until I get the chance to stop. And I just have that privilege when I put my kids to sleep. I also rest with them. I am so much exhausted that is why I value that much every minute of my sleep. I need quality sleep very badly to gain my lost energy back.

My kids also need some sleep since they are very active during the whole day. They run around and play with each other endlessly. And it seems like they never get exhausted at all. So when they are on bed already, they easily fall asleep.

I tediously clean our room so we can get rid of the bed bugs that might inhabit in our matresses. I know how bad it can get when they start biting, and I don't want that to be experienced by my family. I want to try out some things that can possibly help me prevent bed bugs from bugging us. I have seen a useful bed bug spray review which can aid me in my quest againsta bed bugs.

Mothers need to make sure that their homes are really safe for their families. It's a hard duty to do, but if it's for the kids, nothing seems difficult.

has it been 10 years?!

It seems like only yesterday. I still can remember her every way... how she smiles, talks, walks, laughs... how she faces the whole world with such grace and courage... Every inch of her is still crystal clear to me! And it certainly does not feel like it has been 10 years already.

I lost my mom at the tender year of 16. She was 46 then. She had been sick for 2 years before she passed away. During that time, I was so in denial. I knew how sick she was, but I thought she was strong enough that she would be able to survive anything at all. She was strong, yes, but she did not survive. I admired how she handled everything in life. Nothing could beat her, even cancer didn't make her scream albeit she was in deep pain.

During my very first job interview, a question I found very stupid was asked to me, "Did you ever hate God for what happened to your mom?" That moment, I was ready to answer her, "That's out of your business" and to tear my resume off in front of the interviewer. But I managed to answer, "I was tempted to blame Him, but I didn't entertain the idea. How can I hate The One who gave me the best person I've had in my life?"

Okay, okay, I think I have to stop here. I don't want to cry at this wee hour of the morning.

All I want to say is.... Happy 10th birthday, Ma! I just so miss you. Hope you're having a great time there up above with all your angel friends. You know how much I adore you. Mmmmmwahhh!

my addiction

Way back in my first few months in college, I had so many friends who were very much into computer games. They were always talking about it, and I got so bored since I was not into that kind of game. Just to understand and have a grasp of their addiction, I asked one of my close friends to teach me how to play the game. And I just had to say I really enjoyed it! I always looked forward to weekends so we could play together and bond with other friends. For quite a while, that was our way of life. But that was set aside when college life started to get complicated and we had to be more serious with our studies and other things as well.

But now that I am not so busy anymore, once in a while, I play computer games. And the kids love watching whenever I do! This has become one of my boredom outlets. I am enjoying it so much, and hubby also joins me with this during our spare time.

I have discovered that I can actually buy a WoW (World of Warcraft) account, and I am so thrilled with this! I have been wanting to have one. Hubby will surely like this whole idea, too! For sure, he will think this is all brilliant!

I tried to check out some sites which sell wow accounts. Out of all I have reviewed, I think buymmoaccounts.com is the best! They offer 100% guarantee to protect the wow accounts from being reclaimed or disabled. They also provide 24/7 email, phone and live chat support which makes it convenient for everyone.

I am all keyed up in putting my computer game addiction to a higher level. I hope some of you will join me with this so I have some people to share my passion with.

safety first

Hubby and I have agreed that our two babies will be our top priority. We are more than willing to drop everything off for their welfare. We always try to ensure that everything is going on well for them.

Being a homemaker, it is my duty to make certain that all things inside the house is in proper order. This way I can be sure that my kids can roam around and play inside our house safely. I want them to enjoy the freedom of moving around without hearing the words, "No!", "Don't go there!" or "You might fall!" I don't want these words to stop them from exploring and satisfying their curiosity.

I did some research on how I can ensure safety for my kids around the house and I have found a lot of useful information. I have seen a site providing different products parents can use to strictly enforce child safety in their homes.

There are some baby stairway gates which can be used to prevent accidents from the stairs. It can be so painstaking for a parent to look after a baby or a toddler especially if there are staircases which can be an attractive site for the kids. You can also see some child safety locks to control the children's desire of banging the doors. They really love opening then banging the doors or the drawers.

This site offers essential child safety tools which can be of great help to all parents who are concerned with their kids.

anniversary gift

Last Christmas, hubby surprised me and the kids with some gifts when he came home from work that day. I was so delighted to see what was inside the box he gave me. I was even touched after reading the note saying, "This Christmas is special because of you..." I was so moved that I wanted to cry. I didn't let him see that though. I was a little shy.

3 days after Christmas, we celebrated our anniversary. I was planning to surprise him with a dinner date at home. But due to unfortunate circumstances, the plan didn't push through. Buit we celebrated in other way. Sadly, he was not able to buy me a gift. So when he asked me what I wanted, I told him to look for BabyPhat Shoes. He immediately searched in the internet. When he found it, he liked some of the pairs he saw and promised to buy me some. I was so happy when I heard this. I can tell how hubby wants to really please me and the kids.

I just hope he will buy me at the soonest possible time. There was a pair of shoes I fell in love with and I am hoping to really have that one.

another year

It's just a few hours before this year ends. 2008 has been a very fruitful year for me. I've learned so many things during this entire year and discovered a lot of things about myself that I never thought existed. I have also my share of tribulations that I was able to surpass.

I have so many things to be thankful for. The Good Lord has given me more than I expected and even more than I asked for. He has been so generous to me and to my family. He has provided more than we actually need.

I am welcoming the coming year with so much hope in both my hands. My pockets are all filled with joy as I look forward to the coming days with the people I hold dear.

Many plans are waiting to be fulfilled. Many dreams are waiting to be realized. I am just so hopeful.

maybe i need to have one

The moment I saw this pair of eyeglasses, I easily fell in love with it!

I do not really wear eyeglasses. I have always thought it would make me look like a nerd or something to that effect. And I certainly hate it! I guess that notion sprung from what I witnessed during my elementary grades when all the naughty boys bullied those who were wearing eyeglasses and called them "nerds".

But now, I feel that I need to wear one already. My vision is getting blurred and I am having terrible headaches already. I am not yet sure though since I haven't gone to an optometrist yet to have my eyes checked.

But I'm starting to scout for a good pair of eyeglasses that will suit my simple personality. And I have seen one in Zenni Optical. The pair of eyeglasses above is one of their impressive selection of Holiday frames. In their site, you can surely find a pair that will fit your preference. I am so impressed with their products since they offer them in affordable prices without sacrificing their quality.

I am so delighted with what I've seen, and for sure I'm going to buy it for myself when my eye doctor gives me the go signal to wear a pair of eyeglasses. Hmmm, I am just wondering what it would make me look like.

before the new year kisses me...

I am intending to list all the things I want to change in myself before the new year comes. I have a lot of things in mind, and I want to share everything with everyone. But first, I have to make a deep life analysis to come up with a list of resolutions.

For now, I just want to say I want to be a better believer, wife, mom, homemaker, daughter, sister, tita, friend and blogger. I want to be better in every way. Now, I'm trying my best to give the best of myself to everyone I love. But sometimes, I'm not satisfied with my own 'performance'. I feel I can still do and show more than what I've done before.

This coming year will be a lot better for me, I can tell for sure. When it comes to loving, sky will be the limit!

some hair problems

Our hair is our crowning glory. That being said, all women are very much concerned when it comes to their hair. They get all the hair products and treatments they could afford just to feed their hair.

But are you aware that not all products are safe for your hair? Some of us just use certain products seen in tv commercials or recommended by other people. Let me just warn everyone that once you get your damaged, you can never retrieve its usual glow. So you really have to exercise a lot of caution when buying hair products.

With this, you do not have to try a number of hair loss products and treatments because the solution to your dilemma is right in front of you.

fancy for a car

Everyone is dreaming of owning a car! Who doesn't? We all want to enjoy the comfort it brings, but the problem is we all cannot afford to have it. Now that the fuel economy is unpredictable, it may not be the best time to buy one.

But I've seen a site providing a review about a car acura tl. Take a look at this one, and see if it will fit you and your family's lifestyle.

Acura's mid-size TL entry-level luxury/sport sedan was completely reengineered last 2004, but it was updated and improved last 2007 which many clients would enjoy. This particular car was improved with its revised exterior and interior styling, and an upgraded navigation system with AcuraLink satellite communication system and real-time traffic monitoring. This is surely of great help to the motorist driving the car!!! This 2008, they added tire pressure monitors.

Safety-wise, this car is really recommended since it got high ratings from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for protecting the front and rear passengers from impacts coming from different directions.

I am so attracted to these features and I'll surely let my husband see this so when he plans to get a car, he might just consider getting this one.
