Thanks Joe's Apartment!!

My 1 year old son hates cockroaches so much.. well, who doesn't? anyways, It's like he will do anything just to get rid of it, or ran away or cry... everything. He has this very very funny face whenever he sees one. SO one way to make him stop of whatever his doing is to tell him that there's a cockroach around.

Yesterday, while he was so busy playing and running and all. I was kind of tired of following him, My daughter told me that Joe's Apartment was on HBO. For those who haven't seen it. It's an old movie about a guy who was messy enough to share an apartment with bunch of roaches.

So, I got an idea, We all went to the bedroom and we watched Joe's apartment. I showed my son the bunch of roaches on TV. And he went right straight on the bed in between me and my daughter. And he was like an Angel..... LOL!! He was not very scared but i can feel that he doesn't want to play or move or run. the TV is big enough for him to see those creepy roaches in details... So funny!

Two Cool Grannys!

Ok, So this morning, I went to mall to pay my bills, and on my way to the mall I had to commute of course, I kind of had 2 funny encounters with granny's.. It was pretty cool.

The first granny was when I was just on my way to the mall. I took the jeepney ( if you had no idea what it is, It's one of the public transportation in the Philippines, If you still have no idea just google it) ok so she was sitting in front of me, And I was very curious why she seems like looking at her feet,and then looking at my feet. She kept looking to people and then looked back to her feet. And then when i Looked at her feet, She was actually checking on her new pair of flip flops (havaianas). Her face was like talking saying " hey people look at my new pair of Havaianas". Now I understand why she was also looking at my feet, because I was wearing my own pair. Pretty trendy Granny! LOL!

The second granny encounter, Was when I was on my way home. Another granny was sitting in front of me. But this one was pretty typical silent kind of Grandma but I found her to be cute, She was texting and all, Suddenly her phone rang. and you know what was the ringtone? It was "poker face" by Lady gaga! LOL!! I really think it was cool because her ringtone might not match her looks but she was definitely still young at heart.

Sick to death.

It's been 3 days, and I"m still sick, i mean super sick, Caught a cold, cough and the worst thing is that my children were sick too. (sigh)

Weather has been such a pain, Today it was sunny and within just minutes it was raining, Then it will be so hot, then it'll be cold in the evening... wait? Why am i blaming the weather? LOL! anyways, I just feel so sick today... still. It's so hard to have classes when you have clogged nose, and sore throat due to excessive coughing. WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

One of my student told me that I sound like a guy, so yes that's a very clear sign that I have to rest for a while, so I canceled my classes even if I really wanted to continue until midnight. shucks! another boring week,

Pacquiao did it again!

I just want to say that Manny just proved once again, how a great and smart fighter he is now. I eagerly waited this game, And because it was "always" delayed telecast on national TV, to give way to Tons and Tons of advertisements hours before it will be telecast, I had to listen to the radio, Because We don't have Pay per view in our cable. I know how fast Manny Pacquiao is, I think nobody in the Philippines missed any game of Pacman, So everybody knows how great boxer he really is.

I just always had this feeling, the feeling whenever he plays. He looks very small and would look like he'd fall down in just one punch, but that was just the total opposite. That would be the hardest thing to do, to Knock him out! His speedy Gonzales punches and moves would probably the best and the main reason why he is now the first boxer to have the 7 title belts. Awesome! simply awesome. Although everyone seems to be looking forward to Pacquiao-Mayweather fight. I just think this is not a very easy deal, why? Floyd Money Mayweather wouldn't agree with 50/50 with this game, And Bob Arum wouldn't want to have 40/60 so, shucks! Damn greediness!

Anyways To Pacman! Cheers for the victory!

Oh here's two of Pacquiao fans, Christian bale and Mark wahlberg in Pacman's camp

2012 exclusive scene

Ok so here's an exclusive scene in the much awaited 2012 movie, I really can't help but be amaze with this movie. I'm really looking forward to watch it. Actually, I can't wait. I'm trying to lessen my expectations so I wouldn't be dissapointed in any way or in any how. But I'm still excited.

Last night I let some of my students watched this video, And guess what? I got a lot of different point of views, Thank God for that.! why? It means that I have intelligent ones on my list. They are not just "yes teacher" kind of students, And they even gave me crazy answers like " I hope this is true so I have one good reason to my wife to buy that expensive sports car"( he was just kidding of course) anyways heres's the vid. Hope you enjoy it as much a I did.

Very Strange......

First and foremost I just wanted to point out that this post has nothing to do with the Halloween feel. I just felt like sharing this story that still leaves me wondering every time. It just happened last night while I was talking to my 16-year old student trough skype. And when were just about to start having our typical class. We both heard an old style kind of doorbell that was usually found in old creepy houses. It was so loud that we both reacted at the same time , She said " would you like to get your door?" While i was saying... " someone's at your door. And we both stopped. She said "We never had doorbell. I told her that we never had one as well.

I asked her what sites were opened that time on her computer, She said it was just facebook and facebook has no sounds unless you were playing some games, She said that she was not playing anything. I myself has no sites opened, just google. We both heard the doorbell with our speakers. I even asked her that maybe it was her cellphone's ring tone. But she said it wasn't. I'm just wondering where the sound came from, And we both felt that it was so strange. She swears that she has nothing on her computer, and we're both speechless.

Different types of people # 1 "the perfect one"

Sometimes I wonder how some people destroy other people's lives and make it a living hell in their own mediocre way. Right sis?!!! Come on! The world we live in is far from perfection but why some people born to be so Freakin' perfect?! So scary?!!.......... NOT!! I just felt bad for the little ones that they think they can play and bullied. Well, Guess what? For those all of you unkind-perfect-self centered bastards. You're just doing this because you have your own insecurities hiding under your skin and tried to just let people show that your far better from the others.

Go ahead ask your parents? Why were you like that? or maybe go back in time, check how you were brought in this world, Are your parents too good too be true? or maybe they were just like the ordinary parents who love their children so much, It's just that you've placed yourself in the box thinking that it would be better if you will just follow your own rules, in your own smart-ass world. I'm sorry. I'm not perfect. excuse me for my words. Ok here's the thing. You are human, unless you were from planet-X trying to pretend that you are one of us. GotchA! LOL!

This is just my opinion alright, I got bunch of semi-perfect, crazy, mute, lazy-asses, too much too handle, normal, abnormal friends as well. We all have that, right? These kind of people were all both acceptable and unacceptable in this world. And we still love them for that. Now those people who find this post like a bullet that went straight right into your head, or you just want to correct my poor English and make this article a "mistake-free" Then you are probably Sheldon of the big bang theory. But even Sheldon is loved by his wonderful geeky friends. Why? because everyone has a soft side. So yes there is still hope.
Hey you!! you got served!

I miss my baby

It's been two weeks since I last posted. My nanny quit last week and I have to work and take care of my kids more than everb. It was really tiring but It was all worth it. The only problem was that every night I have to leave them to my parent's house and then pick them up in the morning. It was kind of hard to do this everyday. But this is for my kids sake.

My husband decided to ask my mother-in-law to take care of our youngest, It was ok, I have nothing against it. We used to do that with my eldest before, when she was younger. It's just that this would be the first time for my youngest to be away with me for a very long time. So I felt very sad and I missed him already. Sometimes I wish I'm not working. or I will just stay at home. But that wouldn't be helpful to us financially. SO yes, I'll just pray to GOd that he would take care of us. I miss Eouri so much WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH~~!

Another talent show.

It's another talent show, This is not the first time that my daughter joined the talent contest at school, She always wanted to dance. She loves to dance and I'm so proud of her, but i noticed that almost 80% of the students who joined danced. All those students lost the talent contest. Yes that includes my daughter. It was ok for her no hurt feelings at all.

This November is another talent show and she wanted to dance again, I don't want her to get dissapointed again, so I was thinking if she could do another thing instead of dancing. I noticed how good my daughter when it comes to mimic those harry potter characters, i was thinking ... what if she could tell a story in that wonderful accent? It's my goal this week to look for a story that would perfectly match that new found skill... LOL! good luck to us

The Sweet Mooncake.

Just today we received another mooncake from our Chinese friends. I'm really not a big fan of this delicacy, but I can tell that the one we received today taste deliciously good. It was like a tasty bread with different sweet fillings inside.

But do you really have an idea why they call this thing a moon cake? I mean why not sunny cake? or why not sweet bread? Chinese bread? The moon cake is related to the mid-autumn festival that Chinese and Taiwanese usually celebrates around August of the Lunar Calendar. Tomorrow my students and the rest of the Chinese people will celebrate this big important festival. In Taiwan they usually spend their time having a barbecue from afternoon til evening. And yes they usually buy and give moon cakes to each one another.

Well, I'm not a researcher or anything but based on my students this festival is one of the 3 most important holidays to the Chinese/Taiwanese. Moon cakes are made of salted egg yolks with different sweet fillings. Well before it used to be just the plain round bread with Chinese characters on it. But now it has different varieties, shapes and flavors. And it also comes with different and very artistic boxes and packaging.

Look what "Ketsana" left us!

The typhoon "Ketsana" still remains not only in the memories of the people in our country, but also remains on the streets, houses, schools, offices, shops etc. everywhere you go. You can see the nightmare that "ketsana brought. This is one of the hardest scenes in the Philippines for a long time now. This month-worth of rain is really the most of all for many years.

Not a perfect time for celebration

Yesterday was my birthday, But it wasn't such a big deal. Well, I want it to be a big deal, but i just felt like this wasn't the right time to really celebrate. At this point my country has been hit by a typhoon that is 30-day worth of rain in just one day. So in the end it was a flash flood.

This was actually the first time in my entire life that I saw the Major cities in our country was under water. I mean literally under water. Just today I went out with my daughter to go to the bank to pay some bills. I was very shocked! There was this part in our place that belong in the low-lying areas. And yes it was really shocking to see the many houses, establishments and even malls were greatly affected. It seems like I'm in a movie were I woke up and I'm in a ghost town. Many shops were all covered with mud and all the items were all wet and soaked in mud.

The motorcycles in the Motorcycle store were all covered with mud. And all of the staffs and employees were helping dry up and clean all the motorcycles. I felt bad whenever I saw people begging for money on the streets, asking for almost anything. There was this guy who seemed to have lost his family so i felt really bad so I gave some money. My daughter asked me why, and I just said" were helping them sweetie" And when we got home. I felt like Giving something to those people who are in need is such a feel-good experience for me. So yeah, birthday is fine!

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, it's my birthday today. I just felt like posting a wonderful chocolate cake! Hope i really have this one on my birthday...... (sigh)


"Will somebody bring this cake to me!!!!!" LOL!!

Talbot's surprising change.

I have been watching videos from Red Chair Confessions. And every time the site come up with a new video.... I just can't wait to watch it. Alright so the videos are telling a story, Of a woman who is having a problem, a secret that has been kept for a long time, She became obsessed with it and... and..... I'm not going to tell the whole story. But I was really thinking that these videos is advertised by a certain company.

But to my surprise, It was Talbots I was like.... "What?" Really?. It was so new, very modern hip and trendy. I was thinking of another actually. Like Ben Sherman or something. But It was Talbot's. The clothes are very modern, I was thinking about the old Talbot's, but it was very different now. The styles are just so cool, the younger generation would really appreciate this cool change and at a reasonable price.

You could check their new line of clothing and tell me your favorite by posting a comment here. My favorite is the cotton Lawn popover. This blouse would go well with my jeans and short pants. I know it will look good on me, And probably yours too.
Here's one of the videos that I enjoyed watching.

I want a real IPhone!

Alright so my student went to Beijing last week and he told me that his main goal was to buy a new phone in China, Knowing that is cheaper there, He already prepared some money. After one week he went back home without any phone.

He was really hoping to buy a new iphone, he heard that it was really cheap there. I actually told him that he should check where it was made of. I have nothing against China, It's just that there are so many fake stuffs out there that are made in China. He told me that he found a lot of IPhone sold there, But he also found a lot of imitations there. It was so alike, It's just that the fake ones are harder to use. It's touch screen is not soft touch, It's super hard touch before it moves. He doesn't want to fool anybody buy buying a fake one, because of that he lost his interest of buying a new one.

So when he went home in Taipei. He bought a 100% real Apple IPhone.

I've been addicted to My lot

Fine watches

My birthday is getting near, and I'm not very excited, First, I still don't have any single idea what to do on my birthday, second, My birthday falls on a working day, and i really don't like to celebrate in the middle of the week, And lastly my mother's birthday is just a week away, and I know how much she would like a new watch for her birthday. SO i did my research and found some great interesting watches, Like this Patek Philippe. The site is called finest watches and they got watches for men and women. They got a wide range of finest branded watches such as Rolex, Cartier, Omega and a lot more, I'll definitely will check back on this.

Lockerz invites anyone?

Have you heard of this latest cool site that is only on pre-launch but already making waves.. why? It's just so cool period.

What is lockerz? A site that will let you play games, watch videos, listen to music and earn PTZ which is what they called for points. Points are easy to get, just logged in everyday and you get points, play games, invite friends and you get more PTZ. You can exchange these PTZ with cool gadgets(I phone/ I pod, etc) and cool branded stuffs for girls( bags, shoes, scarf). The pointz are very easy to reach, because it's so low.

You are probably asking is it a scam? I don't think so. Anyways, it's free so there's nothing to lose. You can enjoy playing games and answer their(dailies) daily questions, and you earn points which you can redeem to different products.

Another question in your head.USA only???! Nope this is for everyone.. International members are all welcome. SO don't be left out. Send me you Email. I'll give you an invite.

If you go straight to the site you will see nothing but the logo, because you can't access the site unless you got an invite. I got 20 so who want one?

Hubby's going to receive a new watch from me.

Ok so the "ber" months has now officially started and yes, I loved it when it's starting to get cold, I love the ber months for so many reasons and of course the most reason is that my birthday is coming near! LOL! ( do I really have to broadcast it? hell yeah, Hey brothers, sisters are you all reading this?!!!) LOL!)

Ok. so I just noticed that most of the important dates in my life are falling in those months. like September 29th is my birthday, (hey sis, read between the lines LOL!) My husband's birthday is on November 5, Mum's birthday and Bro's also fall in these months( September and December) Our wedding anniversary is on Nov. 30. Mum and Dad's is on the 18th of the same month. So you might be asking..And so?!! hello?!!........ gifts?! I was like.. There are so many things to celebrate..

Anyways, I was just worried because last year I didn't get any present to my husband for our Anniversary, because I already gave an advanced gift for his b-day. So I was thinking of giving a watch. And I have to take note that he is a swimmer, so a perfect Seiko Dive watches
would be a great idea. He's going to love me more. LOL! I saw a cool one from bluedial.com, And I have all the good reasons in he world to purchase one for my hubby.

Still mourning.

Last night me and my family went to the wake of the Executive Minister of the Church of Christ (INC), Erano G. Manalo, And I must say this was the most organized and solemn wake that I have been. There were so many people (members of the church) including us, who eagerly waited for their turn to see our Beloved " Ka Erdy"
It was all worth the wait. We waited for 2 and half hours but we only saw him for only few seconds, but it was all worth it.

To Ka Erdy,

Thanks for everything, For all the guidance and the unselfish love that you shared to all the brethren, We are all so fortunate to have you as our Executive. God bless you and your family, and God bless the Church.

Buy your car.com

I came across this site, this is very much useful for people wanted to purchase a car .It's called www.BuyYourCar.co.uk is a relatively new venture, only being 3 years old. It is very different to any other car portal in the UK. It focuses on all aspects of car purchase and research. Whilst other sites purely focus on Used Cars, New Cars or car leasing. BuyYourCar.co.uk has something unique to offer, via this uniqueness they stolen a march on their competition. The uniqueness in BuyYourCar.co.uk is that it allows consumers to search and inquire on New Cars, Used Cars, Car Leasing, Contract Hire and Van Leasing and even compare offers across all of these purchase routes. BuyYourCar.co.uk even supplies independent Car Reviews and links to competitive loans and insurance. Ensuring they have something to offer to anyone who is looking to buy a car, new or used, lease or cash. Unique indeed and well worth a closer look.

Brother Erano Manalo passed away.

I really felt so down today, Today i received a very shocking news to me and to all the brethren of Iglesia Ni Cristo All over the world, Our Executive Minister Brother Erano G. Manalo has passed away yesterday afternoon. But it was just this morning that they announced it on the national TV. This was the message that was aired this morning by Brother Bienvenido Santiago.

“Ikinalulungkot naming ipabatid sa buong Iglesia at sa buong sambayanan na ang tagapamahalang pangkalahatan ng Iglesia ni Cristo, ang kapatid na Eraño G. Manalo, ay pinagpahinga na ng Diyos. Pumanaw siya sa kanyang tahanan sa ganap na 3:53 kahapon Agosto 31, 2009, sa gulang na 84 taon

“Hinihiling namin na patnubayan ang buong Iglesia sa panahon ng matinding dalamhati (We request that the entire Church be guided during this time of severe grief),” Santiago said in a brief statement on television

Brother Erano Manalo died of cardiopulmonary arrest. This day was such sad day for me and my family.

Mommy's addicted to Nintendo DS Lite!!!!

My brother bought a new Nintendo DS Lite and yes he loved it, He acted as if he was still 16 year old and can't get his hands and eyes off his new hand held gadget. Although he really wanted to buy a PSP.. He preferred to buy the DSlite because of certain features. Ok, But this post wasn't actually about my brother playing this. It was my mother. My mother loves games, especially those game applications that can be found in the typcial Nokia Cellphone. She is a busy mom, so her cellphone would be the only thing that would be handy to stay right by her side.

There was this one time that my brother left his DSLite and my mother was so curious that she asked my sister how to play the games. So yes she stared that day,and then the following day, and then the following days... In short she got hooked!!!!

One morning while my mother was so busy playing "the old Mario brothers" and that she didn't noticed the people around her, she has her own world, My sister asked her. "mum! do we have breakfast? there's nothing left on the table? " My mom just shooked her head.. My sister kept asking her. Mum?!! Hey, Mum?!! "My mom then replied" Oh! hold on a sec!"

Hold on a sec?! My sister was so freaking hungry, LOL! I was there, We can't help but laughed at her. Anyways, She cooked faster than the speeding bullet( kidding) and went back playing. Oh well...
