Gab's Visit to EK

Our original plan of celebrating Gab's 2nd birthday in Baguio was blown out.  Thanks God we have 4 ride-all-you-can tickets to EK.  We immediately pack our things after I cooked our spaghetti and we head on EK. My little boy enjoyed the ride that he got free, he was 35.5 inches in height and we were lucky because the lady who assisted us gave him a waiver for a free instance.  Kids at 36 inches pay to get into the park.

Up up and away!

 



This is the whole set of barkada, Tita Rose, Ate Ashley, Lola, Rey, me and Gab



Since food is not allowed inside the park, we had a quick snack in the parking lot. Food and drinks at the park are at the price of gold and that means less buying of food and avoiding my fenphedrine.

Sharing my secret on how to earn from blogging

This blog is now running for more than a year now.  As far as I can remember, I started this when my husband Rey gave me a laptop as  present two christmas' ago. Check out my very first post here, when I was saying Hello! to the world of blogging. 

My effort and hard work did not fail me when I started to earn from this blog since my birthday last year.  I even made a post on my facebook account how much I had earn from this since October 2010 only.  You can check the status I had on 15th April from my facebook account here.

To show my gratitude, I would like to share one of my best practice that helped me earn from this blog.  This practice gave me the earnings really easy.  If you have a blog too and wants to earn a little visit this LINK to see.  If you are not yet blogging, this may interest you to start one now.

My little note on a Good Friday

This week is a short work week for me.  Our office ended the work week yesterday, Maundy Thursday.  Though there is still open O.T., like what my colleague Dea mentioned on her blog, I opted to stay home and spend the whole day with my family. 

My son caught a slight fever  today, 38.3 on his thermometer.  I blame myself for not giving cough medicine when his colds start to turn into occasional coughing.  So just before 3pm strikes,  Rey and I made a quick visit to Mercury Drug to buy him Calpol and Ambrolex.   There was really no signs of fever before we had our routine bathing in the morning, but after we had our lunch and bought popsicle from the Magnolia bicycle roaming around the village, Gab starts to become feverish.  Should I blame it on the popsicle?

Though Gab is feverish and with cough and colds, he played the whole day today and even skipped his afternoon nap.  He helped a little when Rey cleaned his aquarium.    Funny thing was, he was really sleepy at around 6pm but he doesn't want to climb the bed.  Sshhh, he's already asleep now that's why I have plenty of time blogging. 

Few minutes ago, I stumble upon this story about Edith Burns, its a very good story and worth reading.  I'd like to pay tribute to the story which you can read from here.  I'd say its a good read for the Lenten Season especially for the coming Easter Sunday.

Our office will resume on Tuesday, not Monday.  So my vacation is extended for one day. I planned to focus on looking for a good exposure to my part time Nu Skin business.  I came across this Siegel pop up booth and wonder how I can take advantage of this for my galvanic spa business.  But anyway, I will think about it next week, I am still in vacation mode now and my brain refuse to cooperate.

How much do you know about clean air

Pregnant women have very sensitive sense of smell.  Sometimes its absurd and if you're not kind enough to understand them you may find it very annoying or you make think that they take advantage because of their condition and is seeking for unreasonable attention.

But did you know that its not only sensitive pregnant women who can really be sensitive when it comes to odor.  Excess moisture can  cause unpleasant odor but not most of us are aware of this or give enough attention. Well, its not really hard to identify causes of this and it can be resolved easily too.

Allow me to enumate some sources of this depending on your own environment:

• drainage system ( check if this causes basement moisture )
• house plants
• air conditioners ( check if its well-functioning )
• domestic activities (any chance your backyard has stagnant water?)
• faucet continously open
• damp basement

You may also check symptoms below, most of these are easily noticed but not given attention:

• rust
• peeling paint
• sweating pipe
• chipping concrete
• damp feeling within the home ( i hate this )

If think you have atleast two from the list above, you should be worry and start doing something.  Before you knew it, you're families health may suffer.

The Royal Wedding and Gab's Birthday

29th April is really an important date for me and my family and the whole UK.  It is Gab's birthday, he will turn two years old in two weeks  time and it will be Prince William and Catherine Middleton's Royal Wedding.

It is a Friday but the good thing is, I don't need to file a vacation leave from work because its an official holiday for us, of course because of the wedding.   Don't get me wrong, my family and me is here in the Philippines, and since I work for a company that operates in UK, we are on a holiday too!  To add more to that,  2nd of May is also a holiday in the UK and a Philippine Holiday too. Can u imagine the long vacation I am looking forward for?

The Royal Lovers really look in love.

Here is our lovely Gab!

Gab's Visit to Lola

Gab and I paid a visit to our dear grandmother on Sunday.  My son is lucky to meet his great grandmother, you see.  And you know what, its not really me whom they are looking after our visits, its Gab! My grandmother will not be contented if I will not bring Gab with me on any of my visit for her. She will go like, "ay bakit hindi mo man lang isinama yong bata" (Why didn't you bring Gab with you?")

Look at how she enjoy taking pictures with Gab....

Lola loves being sorrounded with kids. She's young at heart at the age 85.  That little girl is my lovely niece Ashley,  she is only four years old but very boyish and playful.

How I wish I have an RV, I wonder why its only in the US where you can find a lot.  If I have an RV, i can just go anywhere I want, and take my family with me.  I don't have to travel all the way from Cavite to Tondo and visit our grandmother only occassionally.  I will make sure to check rv insurance quote to avoid any hassle. 

Free Things are Really Expensive

Since I had my son, I've always wanted to stay home more than I can be allowed to.  I want to spend the whole day just playing with Gab, putting him to sleep or feeding him.  These are the free things in life that are really expensive to do.  Doing this will make me lose my job and eventually not being able to  buy him toys, some clothes and even play with for rent in the mall.

Well,  I can still go to work and I thank Thee because I don't need to wear working uniforms.  Even when I was in school, I've always prayed its a Saturday everyday so I get to wear my pair of jeans and shirt.  I know I cannot stay in a company that requires staff to have unifoms.  Oh yeah, there is one exemption, nursing uniforms are beautiful, I think I can wear them for a month and thats it. I really didn't want to be a nurse but I i've always wanted to have nursing scrub tops, I want those colorful ones. It would be fun to visit medical uniform store in one of my free time. I will try to grab one for Gab, Rey and I, then we can play pretend wearing our uniforms.  Sounds fun to me.  Im sure Gab will enjoy.

At least Rey and I can spend time together with GAb and enjoy with our baby.

Young at heart

Having kids make you feel young.  Yes, you've heard it right. I feel younger now that I have my own baby.  Not necessarily being young in terms of age but being young at heart.  See these pictures below:

See?  Imagine how fun the picture looks like, imagine Rey and Lola enjoys playing with Gab's lego or riding that toy animal on the mall.  How do you think it would look like if its only Rey or Lola alone is playing the lego or riding that toy animal in the mall, don't you think it looks crazy? Gab can play with anything, he loves his lego, toy cars, his books on batman and cars.

Well, its not really all about toys, he can also play with anything you find at home.  He plays with our whole body sized-mirror, he carries the small desk fan all around the house of course his nanny runs after him, puspuhes our chair with casters, what he loves the most is placing all our rags and mattresses on a basin full of water.

How I wish I am still a kid.  But how come when we were still young, we pray so much to become older than we are.  I guess its all about inocence!

Have you heard of Sensa?

How many people do you know who've not complaint about their weight or figure?  I've known alot and I myself complains about my own weight.   Having all these complaints how many have managed to overcome weight problems.  Believe me, even my friends who are not obese complains about their weight.  I wonder whats perfect in the world or if there is anything perfect at all.

Anyway, have you heard about Sensa?  You've guessed it right, its a weight loss product.  But do you really know how it works?  According to one of the sensa reviews that i've stumble on the web, its a white powder that you sprinkle on your food before you eat and it attacks your olfactory nerve.  It will make you feel full even with a very small amount of food that you eat and would even prevent the feel of hunger.

Sounds good, and sounds really easy.  Imagine, you don't need to do exercise even for a few minutes. I myself is scared of the word exercise if even if you tell me to do it for only 20 minutes.  It will be the longest 20 minutes of my life .

Summer is for Swimming Time

You can't imagine how kids loves to play with water.  Today, Gab used his portable the first time.  We bought it way back before his first birthday last year and never got to use it.  Its just this time we thought of setting it up in the garage.  See how much he loved it playing in the water with his robots.  By the way, those robots never missed a bath everyday.  Gab would always bring them along when he takes his bath every morning. 

Its best to save the water, so Rey re-used the water in Gab's portable pool.  It's now time to bathe Rey's other baby....

We are ready to hit the road again for another sunday family day.  My luggage set never missed it on the road every sunday.
