Going to the beach.

2011-12-30T20:52:00.000-08:00

We went to the beach here in Manhattan this afternoon. Maddie and JArod had a wonderful time in the beach. It's JArod first time to see the beach and MAddie's second but now she is more aware now than the first time we took her here. She was only a year at that time. Now, she enjoyed it more and is very happy playing with sands. While Jarod on the other hand was busy chasing and calling the birds in this Manhattan pier. It was lovely here in this little breezy afternoon. We didn't stay long because of the weather but we all had a wonderful time out there. Jarod started getting cold and so we decide to go home. It was a fun afternoon to do things with kids. Have a goodnight all.

Gift Giving Made Easy

2011-12-29T14:07:00.000-08:00

Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby

Having your family spread out all over the world is tough at Christmas. I live in North Carolina but my parents are in New York. My grandparents are in Florida, my brother and his family are in California and my sister and her kids are in Colorado. Needless to say, we don’t usually get together during the holidays. In the past I have always shopped for everyone’s gifts, brought them home, wrapped them, then made the trip to the post office to ship them. This year I decided to give myself a gift. I got HughesNet Packages so I could not only shop online but ship as well. I purchased everyone’s presents online and had the gifts shipped directly to the recipients. I figured with the money I saved in gas and time, I could afford to spend a little extra for the gift wrap option. It’s amazing how much more enjoyable the holidays have been for me this year without the work of shopping and shipping. I can’t believe I’ve just now discovered this but in the future it will be the only way I give gifts!

Maddie's new bike.

2011-11-11T23:56:00.000-08:00

We just got back from the store. We went to get Maddie her princess bike. It is a little big for her right now but maybe this coming summer she can use it. Anyway, Jarod can use Maddie's old bike. Maddie and Jarod helped hubby assembled the bike and they we're al very excited and happy. Even hubby and I was just the bystander watching Jarod before he get in trouble with Maddie. All in all it was a fun night for us.

Eating out.

2011-11-09T22:17:00.000-08:00

Hubby got home early and I am not feeling well today. My throat really hurts even in talking. So, as an excuse to say I didn't cook. Really? I mean really I am not feeling well. Ask my kids. Anyway, we ( I mean) Maddie, started the cold and then Jarod got it. Now, it's my turn. I guess all the sleepless nights caring for jarod lowers my immune system. So, here we are eating in the restaurant because we are hungry and mommy is not cooking dinner. It's not good I know but I guess once in awhile is okay too. So, enjoy your food everyone.

Coming Home

Guest post written by Derick Burks

Being back home again in Philly feels great, if not hectic. Living in a big city is tough because of all the people and traffic and things like that but you know, I like feeling the energy of the city under my feet. Since I’m a single woman I decided to get my own condo so I could really live my life like I’m supposed to do. I’ve been getting the place all fixed up the way I like it – painting the walls, getting adt philadelphia and even changing out the tile in the bathroom – all with my brother’s help, thanks Gary! I’m just happy to live on my own and not have to worry about roommates and stuff and you know, at the end of the day, owning my own house is going to be great. I finally feel like a grown woman and being able to say I take care of myself means to me that I’ve really arrived and that I’m a functioning adult. I can only imagine what the next few years will hold!

Going to Aspen for the Snowmass balloon festival.

2011-09-12T15:26:00.000-07:00

Then, head to Aspen after. We are about 11 people including kids. It's really going to be fun. We rented a 3 bedroom and a loft condo and so we might just cook in their. Maddie can't stop talking about her friend coming with us. She is really excited. Have a good afternoon guys.

MidWestern Transplant.

2011-09-12T15:22:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Wm Rowe

We recently moved from Chicago to Atlanta. I feel like I am in another country. I don’t know many people here and have been exhausting Angie’s list trying to find the best handymen. In Chicago, we were set. We used home security Chicago for our alarm system and the staff was very helpful. I had gotten a recommendation from a friend who used them before. Unfortunately in Atlanta, I know no one and don’t have anyone to give me recommendations. I also found a great gas company when we were in Chicago. This week, I have already gotten quotes from four different painters. The quotes were so expensive! I don’t know if the prices they gave were the going rate or if they were trying to nickel and dime an unsuspecting Midwestern transplant. Until I get everything settled, I am going to devote all my time and energy to tying up loose ends around the house. Hopefully it won’t take too much longer. It would just be so much easier if we were back in Chicago!

Swimming time.

2011-07-05T19:45:00.000-07:00

We had a lovely time with family this afternoon in the swimming pool. Maddie was really enjoying a lot in the water that she had a tantrum when it is time to go home because she was already shivering. Hubby's family was there too and so was Jarod. It was a fun day at the pool. Hope will do it again.

MGM: My favorite park at Disney.

2011-07-05T19:41:00.000-07:00

Guest post written by Keith Morgan

I don't like to play favorites, but when it comes to something like Disney parks, there's definitely one that is an obvious favorite for me. I've always loved MGM Studios so much more than the other parks because it seems like it has an edge that other parks don't have. Plus, I'm huge into movies and this park kind of plays off of the whole movie industry, so that's another reason that it's an obvious favorite for me.

I live not too far away from Orlando, so sometimes I'll just go to that park for fun rather than going to all of the parks in a span of few days like most people do on their vacations there. I was looking up some info on the park because I'm thinking about going again in a few weeks and while I was doing my research, I ran across some info on home wireless internet and after I read it I decided to Click Here for more information and get it.

But my favorite part of that whole park is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. It's just so cool and thrilling, something that isn't as prevalent at Walt Disney World as regular theme parks. I just love the whole spooky atmosphere of it too.

Rainy weekend.

2011-05-17T00:10:00.000-07:00

What a rainy weekend. Instead of us going to the park we ended up staying at home. It rained for two days and what an allergy I have right now. Hopefully, this rain is going to wash away all the allergens. I am thinking of taking some supplements to help me with this allergy. I have heard that it's really good in your throat, nose and ear area. Hopefully, it will work. Anyway, have a goo night guys. See you around.

What a waste.

2011-05-12T08:03:00.000-07:00

I didn't check my blog for a while and I lost a guest post. What a waste. Anyway, here I am now updating my site. Hopefully, it will come back. I woke up really early today for my 7:00am dental appointment and I just got back. While the two kids are still sleeping I am trying to do some blogging here. It's rare that I can do this if they are awake. Though I want to take some sleep but maybe after this. Have a good day guys.

surreal satellite sitcoms.

2011-05-12T07:58:00.000-07:00

Written by my friend Otis Buckley

Friends has to be one of my favouite television sitcoms ever. It is fantstic to watch and has some hillarious one line jokes and phrases which I have tried to incorporaate into my life with excellent results. Matt LeBlank who plays sexaholic Joey in the sitcom is awesome. His character Joey is a slightly dense yet straight talking person who lives life to the full. He is the main character and is the top name in our family of sitcom stars that we would like to meet. www.cannonsatellite.com everyday as the choice is just so amazing with features to suit our busy life styles. The plots in the series vary and many resemble real life problems mainly dealing with relationship issues but in a caring and funny way. All the characters address life with a glass half full attitude rather than pessimistically looking at life with a glass half empty style. This is a bonus to people watching who can relate to the problems and will see their own problems with a more lighter attitude.

My sister's birthday.

2011-03-10T16:36:00.000-08:00

Today, is my sister's birthday. I already called her wishing her a very happy birthday. I asked her what they are going to do for her birthday remembering that her husband surprised her with a little celebration last year. But she said nothing this year. It's not all birthday that she will have a party. I told her it's find that I don't have a party in my birthday at all. Not even for my kids. Anyway, happy birthday sis. All it matter is that God will shower you with good health, happay marriage and kid this year. Good luck.

Leaving for Manila.

2011-02-22T20:43:00.000-08:00

My sister Jeanette is going to Manila with her husband today. They are going t be there for a week visiting her husband's family. Hopefully, they will have a good time. Going back to Bohol they will be visiting my brother in Cebu. Also, she will help him find a place to stay in Cebu City. He has been living with my aunt in Mactan and it's quite far for him to go to his workplace. Hopefully, they will find the best place for him to stay.

Housing report.

2011-02-22T19:53:00.000-08:00

In today's economy there are a lot of people who are facing financial problem thus leading them to foreclosed their houses. We don't want that to happen to anyone but those things are beyond our control. It might be someones misfortune but can be your fortune. If money is not a problem then investing a property in Santa Cruz County is a good idea. There are a lot of properties that are foreclosed right now based on the Santa Cruz home sales report. Also most properties are facing decrease property values. Investing this type of properties will gain you a lot of profit in the long run by purchasing it in a very low price and selling it later when the economy and housing market recover. Isn't that a great idea?

You might be living in Mission Viejo, Southern California area and wants to know the housing report in this area. There's a good thing, despite a distress in housing market. This area showed strong signs of progress. But I have a friend who lived here but has to moved out of state because of the job. What about living in the San Francisco Bay area. I have been wanting to live here to see the beautiful San Francisco bridge all the time. Maybe I should consider it this time considering the affordable houses now that this area has to offer.

Finally they got it.

2011-02-09T11:58:00.000-08:00

It has been two months since hubby sent a watch to my brother-in-law and we we're already thinking that they are not going to get it. Last night, my sister called me that finally they got it and that her husband was really happy. He wore it right away to work even if it was not charged. It's an eco-drive watch and so you need to expose it to light to get charge. Anyway, he is driving a motorcycle and so he will charge it just by wearing it. I am so happy that finally they received it because hubby said that if they don't received it we will not send anymore package there. So, happy for you sis.

Does Back To School Mean Good Grades?

2011-02-09T11:54:00.000-08:00

Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes

I got the kids up and off to school on time this morning. I am so proud of myself. They were eager to get going to, so what is up? I thought they would be hard to even get out of bed this morning much less ready to get dressed early. I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth huh?

Well, I guess I should have expected that, but I really was surprised. We have been talking about how exciting it would be to see all their friends again after such a long break. They even got lots of great clothes for Christmas which always makes them feel great. With new backpacks to go with that, I think they were ready to go show off their new stuff to everyone at school, including the teachers.

When we left the house this morning, Bonnie even reminded me to set the home security alarm (ADT SECURITY SYSTEM). This has been her job all during the break, so I guess she was giving it back to me. You should have seen them racing to the door when they got out of the car. I am so proud of the way they like to go to school That means that they are eager to learn as well as see their friends. I hope it also means good grades.

Last night we went to Colorado Mills. I got my free stuff my Victoria Secrets. It is always nice to get free stuff. Anyway, Maddie enjoyed her window shopping in the mall and in Target afterwards. Jarod was busy looking around and seeing all the lights he could possibly see. We went home at around 10pm. We thought of driving back again to see the Christmas lights of hubby's co-worker outside his house. Hubby said that that co-worker os his usually set up an extravagant Christmas lights with music outside his home and it's really nice to see. I thought it is nice for Maddie and Jarod to look out. Maybe next time when there's time.

On Demand on the Go.

Contribution by Franklin Meyers

As a travel writer I spend a lot of time on the road from assignment to assignment. Often I stay in hotels that provide satellite TV from www.direct.tv in the rooms. When I'm knackered after a day of traveling or work, I like to relax with my head on the pillow and my remote in hand. Because I travel so much for work, I rarely have time to make it to the theater or keep track of what movies are in the theater or on DVD. When i'm alone in my hotel room, I use this opportunity to catch up on movies on demand on satellite TV.

Depending on the hotel, these on demand movies are sometimes released before DVD. I can watch the latest films with a press of the button. The charge is put on my room bill and I can relax and be entertained. Let's face it, you don't always get the largest variety of channels in a hotel room, so having this option is incredibly refreshing. I like the power to watch what I want when I want- even on the go.

Early morning tomorrow is Maddie's flu shpt appointment in allergy department KAiser. Hopefully, it's going to be fast because hubby has to work after the appointment. Also, we are having our flu shots too while there. We'll probably leave JArod at home with my mom so that he is not going to be bothered. Anyway, dinner is ready. Got to go.

Amazing Zoo Experience.

2010-10-13T20:02:00.000-07:00

The Author of this post is Herman Barry

My family and I had the most amazing experience at the Indianapolis Zoo. We have done quite a bit of traveling and sigh seeing across the country and never would have thought that our own backyard zoo was going to be where our best experiences were. Since moving to Indiana two years ago we have been nothing but pleasantly surprised.

One afternoon we decided to go on a spur of the moment trip to the zoo. We packed up for our impromptu visit, set the home security alarm from www.SecurityChoice.com, and jumped in the car not expecting much.

Boy were we in for a treat! The Dolphin Adventure show was spectacular. When entering the aquarium you first are underneath a ceiling of glass where you can observe the dolphins swimming freely in their huge tank. Then we made our way to our seats and were lucky enough to sit in the first row. The show began and it blew our minds! The trainers put on a hilarious presentation with the dolphins and taught us some tricks. At the end they made a splash, literally! We ended up soaking wet but the kids were tickled pink.

After the show we enjoyed the rest of what the Indianapolis Zoo had to offer including a desert tour and even feeding a giraffe some mango slices. It was an incredible day.

Appointments.

2010-10-12T17:37:00.000-07:00

This Thursday is MAddie's flu shot appointment at Kaiser allergy department. I know that Maddie is not going to like it. Also we will have our flu shot too at that time. Kaiser already offer it since the 4th of October. The good thing is that the vaccine already has H1N1 in one. At the end of this month I will have my postpartum appointment too. All this appointment is getting expensive for the co-pay. But it's better than having no insurance. So, I better not complain.

Life in NOLA.

Guest post written by Peter Jones

Living in New Orleans is really a treat. My wife and I moved here a few years ago to get a look at a differnet part of the US (we'd been in Maine for nearly 40 years and wanted to see some of the south). It's a really fun place to live! We try to go explore a new part of the French Quarter every Saturday so we get to know the history of the place. Last week as we were walking down Bourbon Street we ran right into a street fair, which was a blast. I used to play the trumpet back in college, so it was great to hear some of the street jazz musicians were playing on the sidelines. They played some great tunes. I wished I could have joined them!

And what made our stroll even better? I just got some new hearing aids from HearingAids.Miracle-Ear.com, so everything was crystal clear. And the rest of the day was even better. We topped off our evening with a big pot of cajun jumbo and some beignets from a nearby pastry store. I can't wait to see what next Saturday holds, and every day in between.

Today being hubby's class is going to be a busy day for him and a long one too. I asked him to buy some milk for Maddie when he comes home. Hopefully, not too late. Anyway, I gave Maddie and Jarod a bath and now they are sleeping like a rock. I started the dishwasher already and then later grill some fish for dinner. Have a good afternoon to you all.

The Enjoyment of Going to a Professional Football Game.

2010-10-06T15:16:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the post, Kathy Shelton

Going to a professional football game, especially when it's my favorite team, is like no other experience. Sitting in the stadium, full of screaming fans and watching the two teams battle it out makes for a perfect day. Hearing the crunch as the players meet to get at the ball is a beautiful noise, and I love watching a talented quarterback spin the ball across the field.

I love watching the games in person, but when I can't watch a professional football game in the stadium I enjoy watching it on satellite TV from www.expertsatellite.com. This helps me to catch the plays, my favorite players and have a good time even if I can't be there in person. I always like to wear the team colors and make a bet on who the winner will be. When I watch, I also love to have a pizza and a beer to enjoy with the game. Me and the guys can have a good time taking in an afternoon game and hoping that our favorite team will win and head for the playoffs.

Autumn is for Tailgating.

2010-09-29T15:54:00.000-07:00

Guest post of the week by Deangelo Spencer

Ah... there is a chill in the air, a crunch of leaves underfoot, the smell of a bonfire in the wind... this can only mean one thing - football season has arrived! With football season brings tailgating for my favorite college team, the Penn State Panthers! Autumn is the perfect time of year for tailgating. With the weather changing to cooler, it makes a perfect setting for tailgating. After dialing up my alumni friends and family, packing up my truck, and setting my house alarm installed by New York adt Home Alarm, it is time to make the trek to one of the parking lots at Penn State University! Not only are good friends and families essential for a great time tailgating, so are the food and beverage provisions. I always pack necessary tailgating items such as: food (and lots of it), beverages (waters, sodas, and beer), games (corn hole and a football), chairs, tables, a grill, a radio, and a tent` (in case it rains). Socializing with tailgating is an important thing, too. It never ceases to amaze me how many of my old alumni friends that I have lost touch with during the years show up to some of the games. Touching base and catching up always brings a smile to my face. Yes, to many, autumn signifies Thanksgiving, and back to school. But, to me, it screams, "Are you ready for some football?!"

Cooking dinner.

2010-09-11T18:11:00.000-07:00

I am thinking of baking salmon tonight and bakes some muffin too. I bought some ingredients to make maja blanca but I don't feel like cooking it today. Maybe next time. Also, I been craving to eat or cook "torta" cake just like how it was cooked or taste in my hometown but I have to see how to do it online. Anyway, got to go and start the fire before Maddie wakes up from her nap and hubby gets home his biking.

Baloon Festival.

2010-09-09T13:52:00.000-07:00

Hubby had been wanting to go to the balloon festival in Colorado Springs over the weekend. He has four days off including the Labor day but unfortunately he wasn't able to. I can't go there because it seems far to me and everytime I rode in the car I have contraction because of all the bouncing of the road. Anyway, he was not happy about not seeing it especially after a nice afternoon shot of the balloon on TV. I told him maybe next time and then all of us can go.

Murder mystery over dinner.

2010-09-09T13:48:00.001-07:00

Guest post written by Roger Singleton

Agatha Christie is one of my favorite writers and I just love mystery books overall. So when we were on vacation this year we decided to finally go on a murder mystery cruise. I had liked the idea of it for a while but we had never been able to fit it into our vacation schedule during years before that.

When we were there we started talking to some people at our tables during the actual dinner portion of the night. We got to talking and then once one of the actors started in on the dramatics, I was having trouble hearing all of the dialogue. I mentioned this to the lady beside me and she said that she went to miracle ear Tempe when she was having the same problems. That inspired me to look up hearing aid locations Miami on my smart phone then until one of the actors died.

The night was dramatic yet funny more than anything. It ends up that the actress who played the heiress was the murderer after all, who I didn't suspect at all!

Talking with my sister.

2010-09-01T08:45:00.000-07:00

My sister got her laptop from my mom just recently. She also got the magic jack from my brother and so she was able to call me yesterday but her signal was bad. I couldn't hear her but she said she can hear me just fine. Well, I can't and it's hard to keep shouting. I usually get frustrated and so before everything turns bad we just hang up and will try again later. Maybe her connection is slow.

Looking for a zero depth pool for Maddie.

2010-08-24T11:29:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we went to different recreation center to look for a zero depth pool for Maddie to play and dip. She was very excited to look at the pools but they we're closed for maintenance. I felt bad for her. We went to two different recreation center but not in any luck. So, we just decided to go home and she can use her little pool. She was already wearing her swimsuit and when we get home hubby prepared her pool with water and she enjoyed her little swimming pool. She doesn't even want to get out of the water after an hour but its started to get colder already. We have to get her out crying. We promised to do it again soon.

Here comes Thursday.

2010-08-05T12:06:00.001-07:00

What a beautiful day it is. Not so hot compare to the weather forecast for tomorrow which is in the nineties. It must be very hot again to go outdoor. Hubby's plan is to go biking early and then he will have his free time in the after for us and to watch the wedding of his brother in the net. His mother and sister are already excited about the wedding. Hubby kept calling them for any update and news. He must also be excited for his brothers upcoming wedding which is tomorrow.

Sleeping in.

2010-08-05T12:02:00.000-07:00

Hubby slept in today in the morning. He didn't go biking early. I guess he needed some sleep after waking up almost everyday early just to go biking. Now he needed some rest. Anyway, Maddie and I also slept in but I have to get up at nine am to grab a quick breakfast and give Maddie her milk. Then continue sleeping. What a life.

10th Annual BET Awards.

2010-08-05T11:56:00.000-07:00

Guest post from: Bruno Smith

The 10th Annual BET Awards gave credit where credit was due to the black entertainers of 2010. Awards went to black performers of movies, music, and talk shows; nominated by their peers. A special award went to the most achieving performing of their entire career; i don't exactly remember who got that award. The award show hosted by Queen Latifa and she did a very good job, even though it was her first time hosing these awards. They had a great number of performances by artists like Trey Songz, P. Diddy, T-Pain, and Rick Ross, but my most favorite performance was done by Patt LaBelle. She sang "Purple Rain", one of Prince's most popular songs; she did a phenomenal job of executing his song and it seemed as if she did it with ease. Now that's what I call talent. There was an after party special held after the award show where all the performers got to hang out, party and chill with each other. Not only was this the best BET award show ever put together, but it was the best award show I have ever seen. What made this experience even better was I watched on some of the best best cable tv deals.

No power early morning.

2010-08-04T10:36:00.001-07:00

When hubby got home from biking early today he started to prepare Maddie's milk and suddenly heard something exploded outside. That did it. The power went off. So, he gave Maddie a cold milk. Maddie didn't drink it. This is our big problem going out or traveling far because she doesn't like to drink cold milk. Hubby tried warming it up in a hot running water. It didn't do anything but Maddie drunk it. I guess she was so hungry that's why. From now on we have to try giving it to her cold and see what will happen. She will get use to it. Hopefully.

How I Got Him to Watch Fever Pitch.

2010-08-04T10:30:00.000-07:00

Posted by Jerold Austin

I once convinced my boyfriend at the time to watch my favorite chick flick with me. The movie was called Fever Pitch and I constantly reassured him that it was a movie about baseball. He fell for it and watched the entire movie with me until he realized that the main character's love for baseball was really secondary to the film. It was actually the reason that the relationship between the two main characters might not work out. He wasn't upset at me but he did try to get me to watch a real baseball movie. I fell asleep pretty quickly because baseball doesn't interest me but sappy romance filled chick flicks sure do.

Fever Pitch was actually on the satellite from www.direct.tv just a few nights ago and I asked him to watch it again with me. It happened to be my favorite and he obliged and watched it because I made him dinner. It stars Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. Fallon is a school teacher who is absolutely obsessed with the Red Sox. Barrymore doesn't mind this obsession at first because their relationship is fun and she doesn't mind him being passionate about a sport.

Where they run into problems is planning their future together. Can she rely on him when he drops everything for a silly game? I like this movie because my relationship situation matches pretty well to that of the two main characters.

Hot air balloon.

2010-07-02T16:52:00.000-07:00

This was the picture of the hot air balloon when they are still filling up with air. It was flat on the ground and slowly by slowly it's filled up with air and up above standing. Very cool to see hubby said.

Now, it's stading up but if it's windy it will just fall over. He saw one that happened. So, they make sure that it's not windy.

Now, it took off the ground. Nice to ride in one of them but might be scary too. I have fear of heights.

Maddie likes to play with Rachel.

2010-02-02T23:42:00.000-08:00

Maddie and I woke up early today to wait for Rachel. They had fun watching Barney and playing with toys. Rachel was here for awhile but she didn't cry. She kept looking for her mom and dad but then as soon she saw Barney and Maddie she forgot. She was a behave little girl. Maddie was too sharing with her toys and offering it with Rachel. After they left, Maddie was so tired that she slept. She never had any playmate before and so that is why she was very happy. In fact while she was sleeping she was dreaming of still playing. She was giggling in her sleep and mumbling some words. She really had a great day today having someone to play.

Treat your vehicle right

2010-01-16T22:16:00.000-08:00

How much do you value your vehicle? Do you like being stranded in the middle of the road? Avoid unnecessary emergencies where you have to call a tow truck to get you out of a jam. It is always much better to perform preventative maintenance on your vehicle to eliminate the need for major repairs later. One thing is for sure, if you neglect your vehicle, it will breakdown at the worst possible time and at the worst possible location.

This is where Phoenix auto repair can help you. No repair is too small, and the repair technicians are all qualified to help get you back on the road as soon as possible without costing you an arm and a leg. Don't avoid simple repairs now because they could cost you thousands later. Get your vehicle's timing belt replaced per your vehicle's maintenance schedule, and depending on what your vehicle model you may be able to get the water pump replaced at the same time without costing your too much more. You definitely want to avoid having the timing belt break because that could destroy your vehicle's engine. You also don't want your engine to overheat as a result of a bad water pump. A simple leaky water pump seal will result in your vehicle's engine losing all of the its coolant, and that's all it takes. Engines may take a lot of abuse from everyday driving, but they certainly don't cope well with overheating.

Take it from me, you will enjoy your vehicle a lot more, if you don't have to push it down the street. Of course, if you want to build up your leg muscles, by all means push it all you want. Get you vehicle serviced regularly, and avoid costly repairs later.

"Naw," the man hollered back, "they ain't been around for years!"
"Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore. About halfway there he asked the guy,"How'd you get rid of the gators?"
"We didn't do nothin'," the beachcomber said. "The sharks got 'em."

Yepey, finally we got here in Cebu after 27 hours in the plane and some lay over. I am glad we are here. When we landed the rain starts pouring. Outside the airport my family we're waiting for us. We are so happy to see them. We rode a taxi to Marriot and rest there for a little bit before going to Ayala Center and find something to eat. We are all exhausted from the trip that we didn't even bother to eat dinner. Also Maddie was very sleepy. I woke up at midnight and went to the room where my family stay. They we're sleeping already and so I just went back to our room and continued sleeping. In the morning we have to get ready to catch the boat at noon.

The day of our flight to the Philippines.

2009-11-19T13:43:00.000-08:00

We are getting ready today for our flight to the Philippines. We have to be in the airport at 1:00pm. Also Super Shuttle will pick us up at that time. We are really excited and I am also anxious very it's very far and travelling with a baby. I don't know what to expect but for sure it will be a tiring and long trip. I just hope that everything will be fine and Maddie will be in goo health.

Going to the mall.

2009-11-16T10:24:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, we went to Southwest Mall and took some of Maddie's picture riding the big Builder. It was nice looking at her enjoying the ride and laughing out loud. She had a good time. The bad thing was it was already closing and so we have to leave. For sure we'll come back later and let her enjoy and take her time playing. Here are some of her pictures.

Birthday party for Maddie.

2009-11-15T10:20:00.000-08:00

Maddie's birthday party is going to be held in the Philippines when we go on our vacation. My mom already plan for it and she will pay for al the expenses. Yehey, lucky us we don't have to pay for it. Well, we dp catering and they will do all the work. we just have to go to the venue and that's it. I want to rest on that vacation and not get busy preparing for party. Anyway, hope everything will be fine with God's will and we will enjoy our trip.

Excited for the trip.

2009-11-12T10:17:00.000-08:00

We are all excited for our trip to the Philippines and so are my family. They can't wait to see little Maddie. Also, my niece is very excited to play with Maddie. They are only 1 year apart and so they might have a good time playing with each other. My mom wanted to buy a camcorder to record her granddaughters meeting for the first time and their moments playing. But let's see. If not there's always a camera that hubby is going to take.

Getting vaccinated for the trip.

2009-11-11T10:15:00.000-08:00

Hubby has to go to Kaiser today to have his Tetanus and Hepatitis A vaccine. He had it when he was still in the military but the nurse in Kaiser said that it has to be updated. It's been a long time since hubby had it and so it might not protect him anymore. So, hubby went their today for his shot.

Talking with my family.

2009-11-10T10:12:00.000-08:00

Last night I talked to my mom and my sister at home. They are doing just fine and they bought a new TV. The old one where I bought it in 2000 is not working anymore. Something exploded I think because of not resting. My father likes to turn it on from morning till the following day and sleep watching TV. That's probably why it exploded. Something burn so it needed a new one I guess. Now, they like their new Samsung TV.

Nothing much.

2009-11-09T10:09:00.000-08:00

Being Monday there's nothing much to do today. Over the weekend we spent most of the time outside home. We start buying things for our trip so that we ave everything we needed. Today, Maddie and I plan on sleeping in and start packing our stuff when we can. Daddy has to work and might come home late. Happy Monday everyone.

Going to Babie's R Us.

2009-11-08T23:14:00.000-08:00

Today, we need to go to Babies R Us to buy some diaper for Maddie. We still have a few left but it's nice to have more when you need it. We usually buy it there because we think that it's cheaper. Who knows. Diapers are very expensive baby item just like milk. Also, I already ordered online Maddie's Elecare milk to take to the Philippines. Hopefully, we'll get it before we go. Have a pleasant Sunday guys.

Lazy to cook tonight.

2009-11-07T23:08:00.000-08:00

After hubby came from biking we decided to go eat out in Country Buffet because I was lazy to cook tonight. I mean I gave myself some break from cooking. I guess I'm tired eating my food. Sometimes cooking everyday for the whole week seems boring though it's not good to eat out often but eating once in a while is not too bad at all. We had some menudo again and some freshly baked hot bread. It was good but I ate too much and that's was bad because it's late already when we went there and now I'm still digesting. I never learn anything from eating out. Have a good night guys.

Good weather in Denver.

2009-11-05T14:30:00.001-08:00

Right now we are in the 70's. It's really good to be outside but Maddie is taking her afternoon nap right now. Maybe whe she wakes up we can go for a walk. Also, I want to go to target to buy some chocolates which are on sale right now. I can take it to the Philippines to give. For sure they will like it specially the kids. Have a wonderful afternoon guys.

A visit from a cousin.

2009-11-02T14:41:00.000-08:00

I called my sister in the Philippines today and she told me that my cousin is there right now visiting. He is their to attend the All Souls day and visit my grandmother's grave. They are having a little get together while I called and so I was able to talk with everyone. It sounded like they are having fun. Tomorrow, he is going back to Cebu with his sister riding in a boat for four hours. It's quite a slow boat ride. My brother also leaves tomorrow but at night. He has to work the following day.

Family reunion.

2009-10-25T14:46:00.000-07:00

My family and relatives are having a family reunion this month. They ask me if me, my mom and family are going to attend the said reunion but we can't. We have already purchased our airline ticket last February and we have to pay for re-booking fee if we change the date. It would have been nice if we knew ahead of time so that we can plan accordingly. Anyway, maybe next time. God's willing.

Packaged arrived.

2009-10-20T14:49:00.000-07:00

My sister told me today that she received the first package that I sent them. I was worried that they might not received it because of the typhoon and the flooding that is happening right now in the Philippines. It's very unfortunate. I hope and pray that it's going to be over because food, commodities and the way of living over their is now very expensive especially that the crop has affected. Anyway, the package arrived safely and I hope the other package will arrive soon without problem. Let's pray for the safety to all of our family, friends, relatives and to all Filipinos out there.

My aunt and uncle went to the Philippines.

2009-09-17T11:35:00.000-07:00

I just heard from my mom that my aunt and uncle who lives in California went to the Philippines to visit their daughter who just gave birth to a baby girl. They are going to stay there for three weeks. They also plan on giving a baptism to their grandaughter. They are very excited to see the baby and to be with their daughter. Hope all is well for them. Have a happy trip my dearest aunt and uncle.
