"I am the star" trip

Yesterday, was a very fun day for me and my daughter. It was her Educational field trip and My daughter had so much fun. I'm happier whenever i see my children laughing and having so much fun.

A month before the said trip my daughter kept pushing me to pay the fee. I told her that the trip was still next month. She is just so excited, and couldn't wait to go to the Ocean Park. It was her first time to go there, and mine too hahaha!

My daughter is so silly. Last week, She told her teacher and all of her classmates that she can't come to the field trip. Her teacher felt bad about it, because they wanted all the students to come. It's not about the fee. It's about the experiences that classrooms can't give. My daughter's nanny immediately told me that her teacher was surprised when she pay the for the fee.

I asked her why did she tell her teacher and her classmates that she can't go. She told me "because i want them all to think that i will not come, So if I'll arrived on the day of the trip. They will be surprised and happy to see me at the last minute." Oh well, She just love to be the center of attraction.

My daughter just love it when she always get all the attention. She is the first grad daughter in both sides of the family, So she is like the princess of the family. But i always make sure that things aren't always like that. I don't want her to grow up knowing that she is always the star. Especially right now that she has a baby brother. I'm always trying to teach her to be a good responsible and loving big sister

Still renting but happy.

We just moved to our new house last Friday, That's why ive' been busy these past few days of packing and then unpacking. The house has it's own beauty, it's really nice and i like it. But the downside of this is.. we're still renting, My husband and i are still saving more to get our own house.

I felt bad because our main goal for this year is to finally have our own house, but because i just gave birth to my baby boy last March. It was hard for us to purchase our dream house. So again i have to wait for next year. and again i hope that it will really be next year and not the next year, the following year, or after two years.

I can really feel how hard it is to live nowadays, raise two kids and be the best mom at the same time. but no matter how hard it is. I will still do my best for my family's happiness. And i know that a lot of parents nowadays are feeling the same way as i do. I still considered myself very lucky to have my children, my very loving husband and our cozy house.

Gift pens on christmas.

Many of us are having the same problems every christmas, and that is.....gifts! Oh yes, The first person who is currently suffering from this is my husband, It's so funny how he wrote the list of all the people he needed to give presents, if you will only see how ugly his list is. Full of erasures, changed names, changed gifts, checked marks, unchecked marks etc.

He has so many things in his mind and i don't want him to suffer just because he can't find the right presents. As a newly promoted Manager in his company. He is kind of pressured on what to give to many of her staffs and colleagues. He doesn't like to give gifts that is expensive and then later on wouldn't be useful to them.

I gave him this wonderful idea of giving out personalized pens to all of his co-workers. He so loved that idea. Not only this is useful it has a personal touch, your name is engraved. I showed him the gift pens that are sold at gift pens.com, He got even more excited when he saw their wide range of personalized items like watches and leather items. They have cross watches and other trusted brands so you have many And it's free engraving, so what more could you ask for? you gotta see for your self.

China's good news.

Have you ever seen such an amazing picture, that you were totally blown away. I was so astonished when i saw this picture. first and foremost i know that this picture was unedited because it was given to me by one of my nicest and charming student Judy, I was amazed so I'd like to share this picture with you.

This is my student Judy. She once worked in China. She told me about this place in China, I told her that we always hear so many bad news about that beautiful country, Like the lead content found in toys,plastic products and others, The tainted milk, And a lot more. I told her that even though China Made a lot of Gold Medals in the Olympics. People Still tends to look at the negative reports about China,

Although Judy is a Taiwanese. She still believes that there is more about China. And i believe her. I know that the news changed some of my views about that country. But i still believe that there is more to see of that country and that is Jiuzhaigou.

Jiuzhaigou ( ju-zai-gow) Is a valley found in China, It is found in the southern end of Minshan mountain range. Jiuzhaigou means valley of nine villages. I want you to look closely at the picture. and see how crystal clear the water is, actually my student Judy calls it green sea because of its color. But what really amazes me is how you can actually see what lies beneath. and how you can actually see it through Camera lenses. Imagine If your actually there, I'm already planning of visiting this place very very soon.

Lucky tropical country.

I love my country no matter what other people say. but there is something that my daughter hoped we have. .. winter.
Living in a tropical country has great positive things. Only rain or shine. I'm not a big fan of the rain. but This is the best weather for my husband. My hubby loves rain so much... why? Oh there's a lot of tings that makes rain a winner for my husband.

• Rain makes cold nights colder
• He can drink hot coffee, tea, coco with pleasure.
• It makes the family complete. My husband said when it rains, most families like us just stay at home and spend a lot of time together. Especially when the rain is strong, we all just stay in one place and talk and laugh. I like that, He loves it.
• We can watch movies together
• He and my children like to stay under the sheets and play.
• If it rains in the afternoon, we could all go out and just bathe in the rain
• He could wear his nice jackets everywhere
• Saves on electricity. you don't need to turn on the aircon or fan.
  

My husband like summer, but i love it more .. why?

• It dries up my clothes really fast and it smells good. (just don't let it stay for long)
  
• I can make different fruit smoothies/ shakes/ cold drinks and share it to my family.
• Beach! Beach! beach! Oh yes i love swimming
• Flip flops is like a necessity
• Oooh Ice cream, it melts fast so you have to eat it fast.
  
• Nice tanned skin
• Cotton clothes every time
  

My daughter is always hoping that we have winter because she wants to make snowman and she likes to wear mittens. And wish to have a white christmas. But there are also days that she think she's lucky of living in a country with no winter..." At least i won't catch a cold mom" She hates it when she's sick. She can't go out and play.
