More Biking!

We really had fun biking last Sunday and so we did it again yesterday! This time in a different trail over by our town.We started off by a trail following a train track and went all the way to the new stores. Since it's memorial day, none of the stores were open but it was nice to have the place all by ourselves, ya know?!










Of course, I was up for some more biking, so we circled the town and went back to our van to get some drink! Hubby prepared an iced tea before we left and it definitely quenched our thirst! There was a playground nearby so, we took some rest and let the kids play for a while...and we played too!




Went for some more cycling again and this time we stopped by the water park! Haven't thought about the place so, my kids were'nt dressed to get wet.




After that, we were up for some more adventure and went back to the van to drive a little bit further to our favorite park, Highbanks! And as soon as we got there, we checked out the nature center...Jessica's favorite place to check out bugs, watch the birds at the window, cool skulls, snakes, turtles and more...












We even had a chance to touch the mouse eater snake! David was too chicken out,lol! As long as it's not poisonous, I don't mind...



And Jessica's favorite spot...the reading room! Their dads read them books about frogs, butterflies and other animals. They are both into animals so for sure they enjoyed that visit and I did too...well, aside from taking photos, I enjoyed watching the birds at the window!

And so, I just tackled this several minutes ago before I jumped here in the pc. I normally do hand wash but when it gets overwhelming like that...I have the dishwasher to help me out! But the rest is by hand since I couldn't fit all...What a relief to see an empty sink! well i hope for at least half a day!LoL!

Bidding is now a popular thing online like Ebay but usually at Ebay, you bid an item and if you have the highest bid, you win and get the item at the price of the bidding amount. If that's the only way you think bidding is, then you are definitely wrong...there's a whole new way of bidding, it's kinda like a sweepstake!!!

Bid4prizes.com is place where the lowest unique bidder wins! What does lowest unique bidder means? It is the one who bids the lowest amount but that amount should be unique that no one else bids at that same price and the cool thing is, it can even be from a penny to more! Yes, you can start your bid as low as 1cent and if there's someone who bids 1cent too, then it isn't the unique amount anymore...

Right now you can bid either the a BMW or a DVD Theater Player and the cool thing is, if you win, you don't have to pay that amount that you bid, you got it for free! It's all yours!

Sunday Family Day!

We started off by attending mass around 10:45am and got home by noon to have lunch. Later played at the yard enjoying the nice warm weather and you can see my kids here having a great time at our yard! They were just chasing each other, running around - oh how nice to be carefree!

Later we decided to go biking! I think it's been 5yrs since I last drove a bicycle and now, having 2 kids, it would be tough...thank goodness to those cycle seats, it lets us have a family event and enjoy cycling all together! It took hubby quite some time to get the bikes ready, installed the seats, put some air on the tires and by 3pm, we were out the door!








I was pretty amazed that I was ok for quite a mile. Last time I went for a ride, I was having such a hard time so, we drove as far as we can...We drove thru the shady trails in the park and went all the way to the bridge crossing the freeway...it was kind of scary to see below but so cool to be up there in the bridge!









Next stop, the park of roses! Not til June til we see all the roses but it was still nice to get a little walk and check out all the herbs and flowers they have around...my daughters enjoyed running around and I, on the other hand was chasing them as always!LoL!Here's hubby and the kids...Got a full day filled with family fun and was ready to get home before dark...we were up for some more cycling anytime soon!

When you have a job, usually the boss is the person who gives you feedback on how you did with your performance. Wouldn't it be better if the people who knows you and your work can rate you? Your colleagues, managers or clients, in fact anybody that you think their opinion counts can do the feedback! And this is what you call the 360 degree feedback. In this way, you can get feedbacks confidentially and get a detailed report to get an awareness of how others see you. Then an action planner is sent to you to work at your own time. You can get this at appraisal360.c0.uk and they have product portfolio at any type of worksets. Appraisal360 is used by most major companies now.

Honestly, I am not! After nursing two babies, I ended up with a flat chest, LoL! It just doesn't look right and I feel like there is no hope, I am stuck with this for the rest of my life! Well except of course, when I get pregnant again, LoL! Some women have the same dilemma and turned into surgery. There are testimonials how it changed their life for the better and of course we've seen women having a breast augmentation in television, for so many different reasons. There's this one who was hoping to boost her career in modeling by having a larger breast and some just to build up their confidence by achieving a well proportioned body. If you are not against any of this and is thinking about going thru such extremities, Rodeo Drive Breast Augmentation is the place for you! They are serving at Los Angeles and Beverly Hills and their beautiful offices are designed to make you comfortable.

I am Your BIG Sister!

When Jessica was almost 3, she became a BIG sister! As soon as Katie comes along, you can tell she has that instinct to protect her little sister. She can be rough as well but still she has shown great concern to her younger sis especially when Katie turned 1yr old. As soon as she can run around, if the big sister spots her to somewhere she's not supposed to be at, such as the bathroom, Jessica would yell "mommy Katie is in the bathroom!" or when she is running away in our driveway towards the road, Jessica would run fast to grab her! She is that quick! In this photo, she was worried Katie will fall from the small creek...

For A Brighter Future!

So many great stories of people who succeeded by having a degree and was able to work for a company that suits their profession. Some might not so lucky or have hindrances why they haven't finish their studies or didn't go to college at all. If you are one of them, there's always a second chance and another option!

Seen Any Movies Lately?

I love watching movies, be it at home or in a theater! It is just so exciting to see one and once I watch it, I get so involve and hubby told me I even looked like I never blinked an eye,LoL! That's how I enjoy movies! And my favorite type of movies is usually romantic, comedy, mind buggling & thrilling movies, I'm not so much in action though. As much as I would love to watch the recent ones, it is tough having 2 kids so, I usually get a break and go with my girl friend or just borrow DVDs from the lib.

Just today, I found a new thrilling and heart pounding movie that is coming soon! Ashley Judd is one of my favorite actress and I always admire her great talent. Almost all her movies are brilliant and now, she is one of the leading cast in bug movie.

As you can see, it got this kind of mystic, dark type of theme that is all about the movie. You could spot immediately the bug and that's what makes it so interesting! You will wonder if it's a certain alien movie or some kind of illness caused by bugs. But it is actually a mix of paranoia and a nightmare that makes the movie thrilling!From the director of "The Exorcist"...now comes another suspense thriller movie...

This one can easily catch your attention. Seeing Ashley Judd's face, it just draws me. She is one of a kind actress! When I see her in any posters, I knew right then it's going to be a good movie worth watching for...I am giving so much suspense and not giving you any synopsis about this movie. Well, here's a trailer to give you a clue what this movie is all about...

Now you see how this can really be a great one to watch? Something like this won't let you get out of your seat for every scene is always going to be suspense!!! Don't miss another great movie from Ashley Judd, watch the Bug Movie!

I tackled everyday or weekly chores this time. Lots of closets need to be done but I just don't have time right now. After this, I am off for the ballet lesson for my daughter and do some grocery shopping...so, this will do for now...(click photo to enlarge)

My Biggest Frustration

It must be shallow, I guess but my biggest frustration when it comes to my appearance is my tummy! I hate to see my belly fat sticking out, quite frankly! I just miss the old days when I could wear jeans and tight shirt and no belly hanging out. It looks so great when it's really flat, you know?! I don't know why I am so obsessed about this. I'm sure I am not alone in this manner. But have you ever considered tummy tuck? If you do and still thinking about it, there is one place at Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills that features an innovative tummy tuck!

Bed Time Battles

Bed time was never a problem between me and my baby Katie until these past few days...quite honestly, this 2nd child of mine is so much easier to handle than my eldest. Since newborn, she takes longer sleep and so seldom that she wakes up at midnight. She was so good whenever I put her in the crib and I don't know what happened now. Hubby told me it must be just a phase that she's going thru. She would scream so loudly now whenever it's bedtime even if I'm in the same room with her! It just happened like a snap and I don't understand why...I am hoping things will be back to normal with her as for now...I do all the tricks and tips that I've learned before and hoping it will work again...

TIPS TO MAKE BEDTIME EASIER:

• Give your child a routine at night, consistent with the time for dinner, time for bath, time for bed and story time. When she gets used to the routine, she'll know what comes next so, it would come easy for both of you.
• When you put her in the crib, expect screaming and crying...if it's the 1st night that you are doing so, try to stay in the same room and hold her hand to comfort her but don't get her out of the crib
• The 2nd night, she will still be crying if you put her in the crib, do the same thing and for several nights, leave the room immediately even if she starts screaming. Give at least 3-5mins and if she still won't stop, come back and comfort her. Pick her up if you want but don't talk to her. when she's all calmed down, bring her back to the crib and of course, she'll start crying again, time her again like 8mins. this time...as you keep coming back & leaving her room, make the timer longer and longer.

I could honestly say, it worked for my eldest. I trained her when she was only 3mos old. and everytime the habit is broken like we go for a trip for several days, I use those technique again and it's a lot of work because I don't get any sleep too but after 1-2wks, I am pretty surprised, it works like a charm...let's see what it will do to my baby Katie. We're at the 4th night now...I'm crossing my fingers...

I'm A Shopper Alright!

Shopping to me is like a remedy or even a form of rejuvenation. Sounds silly I guess! But it does really makes me feel good when I do shopping. Even just buying groceries,clothes, shoes, purses, accessories,et al. And well of course, I love to shop for my kids too! I can't resist adorable pretty dresses or outfits and shoes! Never to forget hubby! I do buy him some shirts but usually, he does the shopping by himself because he is really picky! Aside from all that, I enjoy buying home accents to decorate our house or any kitchen gadgets. But I slowed down now that we are planning to move. Don't want to carry all that stuff in the next house, you know!

Shopping can be very expensive or even just a little amount per item, but if you end up with tons of items, you'll end up paying a bunch! It all adds up you know! But why not try to buy something on sale or marked down items or even better, paper or online coupons? I love using coupons! For me they are just like precious gifts that I have to make use of! It's really a nice feeling that even though you spent some money, just the thought that you save too is really satisfying!

My favorite store for shopping if not at the malls, it's either Kohls or Target! Great thing, there's a site that I can get online coupons for those of my 2 favorite stores! Go check out CouponChief.com to find great coupons for your favorite stores or you could even discover new great stores in their website!

My Dilemma

When I got my 1st job here, my biggest dilemma was a daycare for my daughter. I didn't have anyone to watch her while I am working and it was tough enough that I have no idea where to look for and what to consider! I was lucky, I have a friend who has been leaving her kid to a daycare center near our workplace. So, I ended up leaving my daughter at the same place. And for those who are residing in Canada, lucky for you! Because there is a great site to find local daycare centers online! daycarebear.ca is a place where you can easily get information of childcares nearby your place or workplace. Canadian parents and childcare providers are teaming up and an up-to-date information can be found in their site for you to find any current openings!

Question of the Day

What is your favorite non-English word?

"Gihiguma ko Ikaw" - in English, I Love You! That's a Bisaya Dialect from the province of Mindanao in the Philippines. I just remember hubby gave me a card on my bday (back then when we were still courting,LoL!) and he wrote that word & so of course I asked him, do you understand what that means? (who knows he could've just picked that up somewhere) and he replied "of course I do, I researched that word just for you,LoL!)

A Little Bit Info About Hubby's Business

When hubby started his own business, he didn't have a lot of work yet and not much stuff. He used to be a chemist at Nestle and was tired of the same routine everyday so, for a change, he did set up his own business serving pharmaceutical companies by doing installs on some of the laboratory equipments he is qualified and even do repairs and qualifications. Later on, his business grew and needed more employees that started with 2 employees until it there was 5. Sadly, he has to let go some because he didn't need them anymore. His business is changing from time to time. More and more work needs to be done by only him because he was qualified. So, then he ended up with one employee until now. I often help every now and then but not much because kids tied me up and the house. He was hoping someone could handle some of his paperwork such as filing, bookkeeping and doing payroll. He's lucky he got me to help out a bit and pretty much he can handle it by himself if I am not available. But for those who aren't so luck like, it can be a real headache preparing payroll and bookkeeping! That's when AccountingParadise.com comes in! They provide the best online payroll system with full service such as taxes, W2 filings, direct deposit and so many more! You can find out all about the payroll pricing at their website.

What's your Ideal Relaxation???

When I hear the word relaxation, I imagine somewhere in a tropical island either walking along the shore while sweeping my feet off on the water or laying down in a classic rope hammock...I could just imagine being swayed by the wind and it gently swings me back and forth listening to the sound of the waves and trees being blown by the wind...ahhhh...I could easily drift off!!! I remember during my friends outing, we went to an Island where there's only one classic rope hammock tied up in a tree, we would keep pushing one out to get our chance!LoL! Well, you really can't deny it, it relaxes you and makes you feel at ease, doesn't it? You can always experience this relaxation even just in your backyard if you get a classic rope hammock and you will definitely be persuaded to take a nap in it or to read a book!

Do You Have a Dehumidifier?

I am talking about basement dehumidifier. Honestly, I have no idea that houses with basement need that. We have a huge basement here but that's the only room I never use and quite frankly, it's my least favorite room. Well for one good reason, there are no windows at all and it's usually colder down there. Hubby used it for his work stuff or shall I say "junk". With tons of boxes and equipments that I couldn't even walk through! I have learned that not enough ventilation causes it to get damp and a basement dehumidifier improves air circulation! It's even important to make sure that you get something that suits the room size and humidity of your basement. That I really has no idea, and I'm sure I am not alone about this. If you need any tips to find the a good basement dehumidifier, you should definitely check out dehumidifiertips.com and surely you will learn a bunch of info like I did!

Sail Away...

When I was a kid, I consider boating very scary. Just thinking of what can happen if the boat sinks, u know. Well considering the fact that I don't know how to swim, that is a BIG factor of my fear. Not until I went to Seattle, a friend of ours took us boat riding, that I realized it can be a lot of fun! It was so nice that hubby and I talked about having a boat when he retires from work. Even a friend of mine here has one and whenever we visit to her place, we always go boating. I often wondered how they kept their boat nice and in a good shape. For those who has a boat, of course some have custom boat covers to keep it in the best shape as possible. Now, the only problem often times is not getting the right cover for your boat.

Spread Some Love

Yesterday, I participated in the one day blog silence to honor the victims of Virginia Tech & was surprised that there's such a blogger hating bloggers who support this event. I was just astonished of his foul language but in the end, I decided not to delete his comment to give an awareness to other bloggers out there. Well, at least he left his link in my comment box so, I was able to find out that he took one phrase from his blog post and used it as a comment to anyone who has participated in the one day blog. Some became really angry and confrontational when they left a comment on his post but I prefer not to share the same hatred feelings he have shown to others. I prefer to respect his beliefs but also shared my beliefs in an effort to make him respect what we are trying to support. Not by pushing him to accept it, but just by keeping sensitivity among others in other words, consideration. I know he has the right to express his thoughts but I'm hopeful next time in a decent manner. What's the use of foul language? We can always express our thoughts and feelings in a decent manner if we chose to right?
