Black Friday Shopping!

I have good news for you shoppers!

It is known that shopping the day after thanksgiving or Black Friday is really good because you can save your money. Most of the stores have good deals and people stand in line at the stores early like at 3 am but now not anymore! For instance in walmart ad you'll find everything you need, all from your computer at home. It is really convenient because you don't need to drive all over town early in the morning to be able to  get the good deals at your favorite stores. 

Just like me who would like to get a new GPS for my car and I was thinking to check out Circuit City. Also, I want to buy some clothes and more because I'm planning  to send something for my family in Philippines this Christmas. You can also purchase items online in this site and they offers email alerts to let you know when new black Friday ads have been posted. 

You may want to check this site on Thursday after you ate your turkey. Anyway, you will be so full that browsing the web will be the only thing you'll be able to do apart from watching the game on TV!

Hi friends....

Been busy this days because my sister in-law is here and don't have much time to play the computer because most of the time I go out with her to shop. She likes to go shopping here in Houston because she can get much stuff that she can't find in France. I enjoyed shopping with her because we have the same favorite stores and brands. :)

But, when I got home I'm so lazy to do my chores because I'm so tired and all I want is go to bed. Well, I just realized that shopping is fun but if you do it everyday it's tiring too...haha!  

I guess I will sleep now because I really had enough for today.......nytnyt -_-zzzzzzzzzz!!!!!

Smart Solution:Sweet Pickles!

Hello Mommies and Daddies!

Well, babies love being carried right? It might be the motion itself which is soothing to them. My daughter has gotten used to being carried around all day and cries if we put her down. The good news is, this is most likely a phase. In the meantime, I am using a baby carrier and have my hands free while holding her.

A baby carrier is really helpful and has a lot of advantages. Sweet-Pickles.com is your online store that provides exclusive and unique carriers as well as Woven, Stretchy and Gauze wraps, Mei Tais , Pouches , Ring Slings , Soft Structured Carriers , Babywearing Coats  and Comfortable Leggings. Mei Tais is my favorite among the selection of baby carrier in Sweet-Pickles.com because it's like perfectly made for us.

 

My husband is going for an audition!!!

My husband found a music band who needs a lead guitarist and I encouraged him to try out the audition because I know that he is just waiting for my signal to say Yes! haha

Anyway, he came home early today to do some practice which was good and before he started doing his business I asked him to drop me and our daughter at the mall and by the time he would be done practicing, he'd picked us up....it was cool!

That's it for today folks! I hope that the band that he's gonna audition for will accept him with no prob! Good luck my Love!!!!

Ciao!

A gadget of Wisdom!

There are and there was so many wise persons on earth, people who were gifted from birth and could analyze and understand mother natures like never before! This how our civilization evolved to where we are now. I know...many will say that science and technology caused lots of trouble to humanity but this is another topic.

I like to learn from others and read about the great people of our history like Descartes, Newton, Goethe, Shakespeare, Galileo, Plato and other great scientists and philosophers. I use to have books of quotes from those people but it would stay on the shelve like a dust trap even though I really find those quotes very inspiring. The other day I came across this new gadget that can tell you those quote and motivating sentences, as if Gandhi (another great) was next to you. Life Learning Devices.com proposes a wide variety of those gadgets in several languages, you just have to press it to spread the wisdom around it.

I think that's great for the kids too, Life Learning Devices.com had a great idea! And by the way, this gadget looks quite nice, a little bit like a crystal ball. Check this out; how about you wake up in the morning and then while drinking your favorite drink (for me it's coffee) you press the device and you hear: "Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress"...How about that!! By the way, this is a quote from the Mahatma Gandhi. I think this is really inspiring to hear because it's so true.

Again, we all have those small calendars about famous places in the world or sports, I think this is nicer and much more interactive. I think we should never forget what the greats of our world said and this gadget will keep on nourishing your mind every day.

A life without complain

If you think you are unhappy, look at them.....

If you think you don't have many friends...

If you think study is a burden, how about her?

When you feel like giving up, think of this man

If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

If you complain about your transport system, how about them?

If you think your salary is low, how about her?

 

Enjoy life how it is and as it comes 
Things are worse for others and is a lot better for us....

Aussiefloyd the Australian Pink Floyd!

Have you heard about the Aussiefloyd band?  

They are on tour this month in houston, my husband and I would like to watch their concert because we are really big fans of Pink Floyd but I don't think that both of us can watch the show because we have our baby Pauline who can't tolerate loud noises yet...sigh! I guess we will find a way to be able to watch this concert, Rain or Shine!haha

Here's a video of the Aussiefloyd....

The Unbeatable Rolex!

Rolex is the brand that everyone wanted to have!

My husband mentioned that he really wanted to have a Rolex watch and I disagreed with him as I remembered because as soon as I heard Rolex, the first thing that came to my mind was the price!

Now, I think this is the right time to have one because Perpetual Diamonds offers genuine Rolex watches at substantial discounts. Perpetual Diamonds is authorized independent Rolex dealer, their prices are incredible! There is no regret if you check this out!

Cheers!

Make your business grow faster

Everybody would like to have their own business, but once you have one the hardest part is to be able to find customers who are interested in your product. Obviously, the more you business is exposed to potential customers the more chance you'll get to sell and succeed. One efficient way is to outsource the sale part of your business, many major brands have done it. Take a look at Cydcor , to know more in detail.

Cheers!

Sabado night!!!

We went to the House of Blues somewhere downtown to eat dinner. It's the first time I went there. I was confused about how it looked like and what's going on inside but now not anymore! hehe

By the way, at first I thought we were not allowed to go inside because Pauline was with us, well it didn't happen and I'm glad about it. haha! 

It looks nice inside but it's really crowded which is typical for this kind of place. Actually, we waited for like 20 to 25 minutes to be seated but the good thing is they had like a small store which you can hang out in if you're waiting for a table.

The food was great, especially the food that my husband ordered, I think it's a meatloaf with some mushroom sauce and mashed potato as the side. I wasn't able to take pictures with the food because we were so hungry and forgot about it. But, I have some pictures taken at their store and a bit inside the restaurant.

Cheers!

Birthday invitation!

Last night we went to a birthday party at the house of a nearby friend. It was fun because I met a lot of filipino and her friend Melanie from Dallas was there too. We brought an ice cream cake and they loved it! I'm glad because it was my idea...haha!

My husband and I were so full because the food was so delicious.haha! They gave us some To Go food too...ahaha. By the way, my husband asked me to drive us home and it's funny  because I really drove like a real driver and realized it when we arrived ahaha! I'm kinda happy about it.

Got some pictures last night...

On the menu there was: spaghetti, dinuguan, ham, humba, pansit bihon, embutido, chicken salad, beef steak, lumpia and of course rice! :) lots of desserts too...yum!!!

Date with friends and babies...

My husband and I visited a friend somewhere downtown houston today. It was fun because we saw their 4 months old cute son, we had like a bonding parents and babies. haha

We drank a little Champagne and I liked it this time. They made a sweet Champagne (Kir) just for us, mommies. I'm not really into bitter drinks and my husband knows about it. Sometimes, when we go out for a drink I always order frozen liquor drinks and with fruit flavors...haha well...I just can't drink liquor without a sweet taste.

Anyway, I finished the Champagne that they gave me and I felt tipsy after, it's kinda embarassing but I guess they didn't noticed it..bwahahha!

That's it for today folks...need to signoff now!

Bonne Nuit!!!

Pick and Choose!

Entering into a business field is not easy as planting rice. A lot of people enter into business with lack of knowledge and with no experience at all.

A lot of  people suffered bankruptcy because of mismanagement and unplanned businesses. To avoid this kind of situation you should plan it thoroughly or ask an expert in this field. Andrew  Wilshire  is a highly successful entrepreneur and business executive, with over 10 years of experience starting up and directing growth-oriented companies. He has vast experience in dealing the financial sector, with particular emphasis on raising capital and creating short and long  term financial strategies. So, if you are on the way of having your own business or in a company that needs help,  you must try Andrew Wilshire. 

Saturday Shopping!!!

We did so much shopping today!

We went to our newly discovered shopping mall in Houston, the Baybrook mall... hehe It's kinda big mall and they had a lot of good deals in different stores. I like their Macy's branch because they had a lot of choice and we got some good prices, especially when you have macy's card. It was fun because there is guitar center nearby and my husband was able to go there too. 

In the afternoon, we went to the stores near in our place. I got some nice pillows that wass on sale of course!ahaha...so basically we did a lot of shopping today and my legs hurt for real! :P I think today's shopping is too much for my legs ahahah!

That's it for today friends!

Au revoir!

The great eye surgery!

Have you heard about LASIK?

If you have problems in your visions and tired of wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses, lasik eye surgery is the answer for that.

Lasik is a type of refractive laser eye surgery  for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. This lasik eye surgery is really cool because it requires less time for the patients recovery and most of all, the patient feels less pain. I know somebody who did this procedure and told me that he was happy about it. He doesn't  regret the money spent.

New found friend!

I met a  filipina friend in walmart not so long time ago... It's funny because I thought she wasn't filipina the first time I saw her then, she smiled at me and ask me if I was.haha! Yes! I am filipina, I answered her back, then that was the start of our talk. She gave me her number but I wasn't able to call her because I couldn't find her number that she wrote on a small piece of paper :(

After a few days I was really surprised because she called me.ahaha! To make my story short, she took my number from a friend of her who happens to know me. What a small world!!!!! I'm so glad that I found a kabayan friend nearby and she is really nice to me. The end! hehe

Amazing music talents!

My father in-law, sister in-law and my husband is really into playing musical instruments. It's amazing because they can play together like a real band...how I wish I have a talent like them.

I guess my daughter would have that passion in music too. Nowadays, you can find a private music lessons at your own home and Amadeus Home Music School is the answer for that. Amadeus Home Music School provides quality music lessons which is so convenient for you and for your kids, especially when you have busy schedules like us.

Yey! my sis in-law is coming.....

I'm so excited because it's confirm that my sister in-law is visiting us this month.

What's cool???? 

Of course! expect us to go shopping galore everyday because both of us really like shopping!haha

I love her because she really treat me as her sister and she's so nice to me... :P

I guess, we both like the fact that we are sister's in-law because I don't have younger sister and she doesn't have older sister yet we have each other...cool!

I really like the plan that she's  coming to visit us because I know that she misses Pauline very much.

Though, they were able to see Pauline through the web cam but still it has a big difference being with her personally.

I just hope that I can get my driving license soon to be able to drive around with her....

See ya!

Let's go shop More, More, More!

What's more fun than shopping?

Since the day I know what shopping means, it became my favorite hobby...especially when stores are on sale. My husband has nothing against it and I'm so glad about that.

But the fun is even better if you can get some cash back from your purchases. For instance try this lowes coupon and enjoy shopping!

 

A Beauty Myth....

During my high school days I start plucking my eyebrows because my friends and classmates were doing it. One time my sister caught me plucking my eyebrows and told me to stop doing it because in every hair I pluck, ten grow in it's place. Ofcourse, I stopped right away because I was scared to have a thicker eyebrows. haha 

Well...It's not true! According to the article that I've read, every strand of hair grows out of a single follicle and each follicle can support only one hair. So to my kikay pals, it's fine to pluck your eyebrows because it will not grow thicker ok?

That's it for my kikay update for today!hehe

Ciao!

It's almost the Crisis!

The economic downturn is worldwide with high oil prices, credit crisis,  unemployment.

It's also hard to find a stable investment nowadays and the freshwater orient pearls is one of them. This is the right time to invest in the highest grade freshwater orient pearls because they're currently under priced and as predicted their value will rise in the future years. This pearls are so pure that looks elegant, simple and rare.

In the mood of cooking

I made a chocolate mousse and at lunch I cooked chicken basquaise!I made a chocolate mousse and this time I successfully made it.haha! Chocolate mousse is one of our favorite dessert. We both love it, especially when the texture is really light.

The chicken Basquaise that I cooked was successful too... so glad that my husband likes it very much. We've been trying to cook chicken basquaise but unluckily we can't make it right. This dish goes well with rice and for me this is awesome! But for me, this dish really requires a lot of effort because the sauce is all made from scratch.

Au revoir!

Worried about gaining Weight?

I met a friend who gained so much weight from pregnancy and she really wants her normal body weight back. She told me that she tried a lot of exercise routine and some jog-walk combo but no result.  

Hands down, weight loss surgery is a way to solve your biggest issue. This weight loss surgery has a program that will guide you through and evaluates if this is really right for you. Finding the experienced surgeon, extensive follow-up and aftercare is fully served for you.

Family Day.....

It's Sunday and normally we always stay at home but today we didn't because we did the groceries early in the morning.

Also, We went somewhere to get some new curtains and it was succesful. It's not very nice to go around because the stores or shopping malls are really crowded. My husband went to a Guitar Center somewhere in the galleria area and I can't say NO because I know that's his favorite store. Though, I really wanted to go back home because I had enough for the day. I just waited in the car with Pauline because I feel awkward going in that store, I hope you know what I'm talking about.

Now, I'm home and resting in the couch! :P

Au revoir!

 

Hanging Out......

Hi everybody....

Today we went around and had dinner in a seafood restaurant in Town Center, I ordered  seafood enchiladas and it was not good as I was expecting. Well...in short, my dinner was not good. I think in mexican restaurants you can find delicious enchiladas, I mean the real one.

After dinner, we hang out and watched a band playing in Town Center. It's kinda sad because the band played with very little audience and they were playing really good. My husband told me that he kinda relates how it feels when you play in front almost nobody. He said it feels like you want to stop playing and leave! haha!

This is the band I was talking about.... 

Ciao!!!

A real relaxing Tub!!!!!

Do you like being in water???Well....I do! 

How about you?????

My husband likes to be in the water or I could say he loves water! Especially, when he gets home from work. He likes to spend time bathing in the tub because it feels relaxing  and refreshing.

  

Indeed, immersing yourself in the baths can be a truly soothing and relaxing experience. You can feel your stiff muscles, strained by stress of daily work, relax. Taut ligaments also loosen up. Thermal bath can also help treat other medical conditions including rheumatism, circulatory problems, insomnia, bronchial asthma and gynecological disorders.

Now, there's  walk in tub which is safe, high quality and comfortable. I'm sure this leading manufacturer and distributor of walk in tub will satisfy you.

Driving! Driving!!!!!

When I was around 18 years old, I really wished I could drive a car but unfortunately it didn't happen. Driving is not really an important thing in the country where I grew up. Compare to my husband who is driving since he was 16 yrs old and for me its amazing!

Now, I'm starting to drive with my husband as my instructor. It's fun driving but sometimes we can't avoid arguments on the road because I have my own rules.haha!  

Also, I don't feel comfortable if I see a car behind me because I get stressed out and it messes up my concentration.haaaaaaah!!!!! I hope to be a good driver soon! Wish me luck!!!!!

Au revoir!

My House needs a Makeover!!!

Good Day Friends!!!!

We just moved into a house from an apartment. Apparently, the house is bigger than the place we used to stay, our house now kinda look like a classroom haha! We need to get some furniture to fill up the house. Also, we need to do some minor renovation in the house. My husband asked me to take care some of the stuff that we need to fix and replace.

Anyway, I was browsing the Internet hoping that I might find the things that we need  specially in the kitchen area. We both like to cook and we want a nice kitchen for that but we're not really a good cook, we just love cooking.haha! Try to check this  affordable kitchen sinks they have high quality sinks and accessories that you might need. They have free shipping and elegant kitchen sinks.

Raising kids is like being in a Casino.....

Raising kids is like being in a Casino because:

>You're sweating every second till someone hits 21.

>Every time your child smiles, you feel like you've hit the jackpot :)

"Before I was a Mom"

"

Before I was a mom, I made and ate hot meals, wore unstained clothes and had quiet conversations on the phone. Before I was a mom, I never worried about how late I went to bed because I could sleep in as long as I wanted. Before I was a mom, I washed my face and brushed my teeth everyday.

Before I was a mom, I enjoyed a leisurely cup of coffee while reading the
morning newspaper on a Saturday morning.
Before I was a mom, I slept the whole night through.
Before I was a mom, my house was clean everyday and I didn't worry about whether or not my plants were poisonous.
Before I was a mom, I had never been puked on, pooped on, peed on, chewed on or pinched by little fingers.
Before I was a mom, I had complete control of my mind, thoughts and body.
Before I was a mom, I never held down a screaming child while doctors and nurses did tests or gave shots. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces because I couldn't stop the hurt.
Before I was a mom, I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
Before I was a mom, I never got gloriously happy over a toothless grin.
Before I was a mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never was up in the wee hours of the night just watching a baby while it slept. I never knew that something so small couldn't effect my life so tremendously.
Before I was a mom, I never knew I could love someone so unconditionally and completely.
Before I was a mom, I never knew how satisfying it is to feed a hungry
child. I never knew how fulfilling it is to soothe a baby's cries.
Before I was a mom, I loved my mom, but didn't understand her. Before I was a mom, I never knew the warmth, the joy, the heartache, the wonderment, or the fulfillment of being a mom.       Before I was a mom, I never knew I would love being a mom."

I love you so much bubu Pauline!!!!

Au revoir!!!
