Cash Gifts are to given to the young at hearts and everybody was at their happiest. feasted on foods that my mom had cooked and the boys drank some beers. Kids are usually at their hyper mood, playing with their gifts, toy guns and RC cars. Gabby on the other hand shared with Nicco's rc car.

Read more...Bathroom Makeover
We just finished doing the kitchen makeover months ago and I could really say that I'm quite satisfied with the result. We can now freely move around on our very own kitchen. We are now set on the next plan on makeover which is the bathroom. We will be having our very own bathroom too in a few months time, it means that only our family DH, I and the kids could only use the bathroom, we are still first trying to fix around the line of the septic tank. It has been realigned due to some leaking problem. I am very excited as I look around for some Cheap Baths idea that we'd like to incorporate for our new bathroom. As we all know that it is a place where we could find time for ourselves, comfort is definitely the number one priority. There are few nice ideas that I saw at betterbathrooms.com, they are even on sale on different items that you could use in beautifying your bathroom. I specifically wanted their shower enclosure. Very classy looking and saves a lot of time in cleaning the bathroom for the water wouldn't be splashing everywhere while taking a shower.
90 x 90 x 185cm
Single Sliding Door
6mm toughened safety glass
Aluminium profiles with chrome finish
20mm adjustment tolerance for uneven walls (-15mm/+5mm)
Manufacturer's Lifetime Guarantee
Shower tray included
Shower system NOT included.

Christmas Gift
>> 12/18/2009
The little boy is quite overwhelmed with the toys that he saw when we went to SM Megamall's Toy Kingdom last Tuesday. You could really see delight on the kids faces. They don't want to go out of the store anymore when we were about to leave. Nicco was bugging me to buy him a toy gun and put up this Hunting pellet guns look alike toy without my knowledge on our shopping cart. He even tricked me by putting it up under those other items we bought. I only noticed it while I was browsing the receipt at home. He was all smile when I confronted him. Oh well, what can I do?! He's very much enjoying his new toy.

Heavenly Father, keep our families together in love, in peace and in joy.
Let our parents, be patient with us. Let our parents, be patient with each other , aware that the success and happiness of each member of the family depend on their loving concern for all of us.
Let no thought of separation or divorce be a part of solution to any problem.
Give them the grace Lord to pray together as the family that prays together stays together.
Amen.
This is the prayer that Gabby willbe leading in the opening of the program. I even memorized it too. LOL. Was amazed at how fast she was able to memorized it. She was able to deliver it in no less than 30 mins. Kids really have keen memory. Noticed that the prayer is centered on the family, in line with the theme of NATIVITY. Read more...
The Cristmas Tree Test
We just all love the holidays and I love Christmas Tree!!! took up this test...
You Are Blissfully Content |
 During the holidays, you have a lot to be thankful for. And even if you are having a hard time, you do your best to express gratitude. You are a glass half full type of person. You try to see life as a gift. You believe that it's important to stay positive and peaceful. Not just for your own mental health, but for also for the mental health of those around you. The gift of optimism is the best thing you could possibly give. And you give it well. |

Medical Supplies
Seven days to go and it will gonna be the big day for almost everyone in the world. The most celebrated day of the year, Christmas! I have been continuously reminding DH to watch out his diet. Being a diabetic, he needs to guard himself from sweets, which of course is very in demand food during the holidays. I told him to keep himself off those goodies or he'll in up in hospital bed on holidays and I don't want to be seeking some medical supplies on wee hours if ever. Health is wealth as they always say and very true indeed, it is one great gift that we ever received from the good Lord. Priceless!

Getting An Online Degree
>> 12/10/2009
I remember how high spirited I am when I was still studying in high school, I always dream of becoming a good lawyer someday. My mom loves the idea too as my big brother is taking up law at that time. But as I entered my junior level in high school and our family encountered financial crisis then, I almost gave up and wanted to quit right there and then. I opted to stop schooling after I graduated from high school, but enrolled in college after a year. I helped my parents in our family business during that time. I am not a stand out student but I didn't gave my parents a headache the entire four year course I took. But I was not able to fulfill my dream of becoming a lawyer... But I am happy that I was able to finish a college degree, being a working mom now, there was still this longing for me to get in to school again. I wanted to pursue and get an UOP online degree this time. I think this will fit a very busy mom like me since I will be able to allot this one, proper time management is the answer. There is no age for education, for as long as you wanted to learn.
15 Days To Go!
>> 12/09/2009
and it's Christmas! obviously...lol!
DH's bro-in-law have put already in our sala the CHRISTMAS VILLAGE, and the BELEN on our mini garden before the main door entrance. Oh well, I'm just not so in the holiday mood these past few days, it's maybe because we haven't receive our 13th mo. yet! ahaha. and the lists of my "To-Buy" is getting longer as days passed by... Hope the boss will give it altogether with our salary this coming Friday, or we have no choice but to wait till Friday next week. Even the plans of changing tiles for our kitchen was put off, we will just wait for extra available funds to process the renovation. As with the little girl, she was assigned to lead the opening prayer for their Christmas program and was given a paragraph of prayer to memorize. As of now, she was able to memorize two sentences already, hopefully she can deliver it easily on the 18th.
And as for her costume for the program, she will be needing:
- Red Blouse
- Skinny maong jeans
- Santa hat
- Rubber shoes
December 8: Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception
>> 12/08/2009
Prayer to the Immaculate Conception 1
O Virgin Immaculate, Mother of God and my Mother, from thy sublime height turn upon thine eyes of pity. Filled with confidence in thy goodness and knowing full well thy power, I beseech Thee to extend to me thine assistance in the journey of life, which is so full of dangers for my soul. And in order that I may never be the slave of the devil through sin, but may ever live with my heart humble and pure, I entrust myself wholly to thee. I consecrate my heart to thee forever, my only desire being to love thy Divine Son, Jesus. Mary, none of thy devout servants has ever perished; may I too be saved. Amen.
Prayer to the Immaculate Conception 2

A Holiday Travel
>> 12/06/2009
Can you feel the rush of the holiday season? I definitely do. With the many activities lined up for the holidays, I really need to make the most out of my time and should follow the my scheduled to do's for the holidays. Last Friday, I was able to shop for some Christmas presents to be given away to my family and friends. Next thing to buy is the costume that my daughter will wear for their Christmas program next week, I think the role that she'll be portraying is an angel so I need to look for a white dress and wings. My ultimate Christmas wish is to have a romantic cancun vacation. That will be a perfect and memorable gift to cherish all through out our holiday celebration, being away from the hustles and bustle of the city life, being relaxed and enjoying the perks of different packages that they offer.

Moving Again
>> 12/02/2009
We went last weekend to my parent's place to pay them a visit. Gabby and Nicco misses their cousin Dwayne so much that they didn't take their afternoon nap that day as they played all day long. We, the adults engage in a small talk and my mom brought up the topic of finding another house again. I was really surprise for I thought that everything's ok and that they are settled on their new home already. She told me that they have an issue with the owner of the apartment, it seems like the owner wants them out of their unit and have been told that they don't have to pay for the rental since they can use their deposit and down payment. Gee, just the mere thought of packing and unpacking things makes me want to feel crazy again. LOL. Moving is never really easy you know. But if only we have the services of Boston Moving Company here, moving will definitely an ease and smooth flowing for this company is well known for rendering an excellent job with moving services, they are equipped with the necessary high tech tools needed for a fast transaction and smooth transport of your most prized belongings to your new and humble abode, you don't have to feel stressful with your move for they will take care of everything, from the smallest to bigger details that makes you more confident of that move.
