1. When I heard the crowing of a rooster, I know it’s time for me to get up from bed.
2. Cool weather makes me want to snuggle in bed.
3. Get him out of my sight!
4. Home is where I belong.
5. Hands off.
6. It’s never good to put anybody down.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to boding time with kids, tomorrow my plans include review sessions with the kids for their final exams next week and Sunday, I want to relax and have some “me” time!
It has been four years since the birth of this blog and through the years, I was able to set up another three that focuses on different topics and have finally ventured into blog monetization.
Let me go through some memory down the lane on how I was able to come up with this blog and how it was able to gain a space into the blogosphere.
I was at the office and surfing the net when I stumble upon a blog entry that catches up my attention, I enjoyed reading and can relate to most of the entries that she had put into her so called “online diary”. So there came the need of wanting to put up my very own and jot down my thoughts through blogging.
So here are some few steps I took on how to start a blog
Gaining and meeting online friends, the sense of fulfillment are one of the benefits that you can get out of blogging. Going through my back post was really an enjoyable experience as I get to read how I documented important milestones and events of my life in this wonderful world!
I hope to finish and update the post about dear son’s educational field trip a month ago. I was able to do the first entry which is our first stop-The Ark Avilon Zoo. I am yet to make about three more places that includes a famous landmark in the heart of Manila area, The Fort Santiago. We were able to see some of the memories left from the world war like the wall of Intramuros, preserved old buildings and the famous footsteps of Rizal during his final walk to his execution.
Next would be the trip to a local orphanage, a group of kids had dance performance. They were given some educational materials like books and school supplies. Then off we went to our final stop which is the Seri-Fantasy World located in near the Luneta beside the Manila Ocean Park. Kids had their grandest time here as they were able to enjoy the play area, watched a 3D movie, the mirror maze and the trick art museum. We had tons of photos taken during the entire trip. We both enjoyed it and we had so much fun and learning experience to cherish.
We are so looking forward to next year’s educational field trip. This time, I had to attend two field trips again.The other one is with dear daughter. Who knows, a thermal coal power plant might be a part of the list. But then again, I think such type of power plant is not really for kids though! Saved that for adult, professionals and science course students. Hopefully by weekend, I’ll be able to publish the said post.
Whenever I feel sad and low, I always try to look at the brighter side of things no matter how hard it is. As they always say, “positivity is the key”. Letting out all the negative things would really help out for you to be able to cope up with moving on. I’ve had enough shares of failures, but that doesn’t mean that I quit. have to be strong for myself and the people who need me, especially my kids. I grew tired of complaining and whining in which by the ways are the worst thing to do when you feel low, it will drag you down until you fall into the pits of self pity and self destruction later on
” This too shall pass“, “There is a light at the end of tunnel” ” cliché as it may sound, all the uplifting words are helpful to give you the sense of hope that everything will turn out fine in the end. One of things that I have learned the most is to sometimes to go with the flow . True enough are the words ” the world is evolving continuously, it will never stop to cry with you” So get up and learn to live your life.
There are few changes in our lives that we have to deal with one way or another. Getting started and building up a new life with your partner/ spouse is one. I am used to living comfortably with my parents until I had to move to my hubby’s place. Not that it’s a big move, but there are so many things that I have to take care of like packing and sorting out my things, I had to clean up first my room and throw out some old things that is not important anymore. I have made money on some of them when I did sold items on ebay. 🙂
Other stuffs that I decided to keep were cleaned up and put on a safety box. I had to do some packing list to save me from headache once I have to do the unpacking and organizing of my things to hubby’s place. Dealing with all the cleaning, packing, sorting and labeling is really quite a task. A few things have been misplaced and can no longer be found after the move.
Had I known earlier of Ship-Smart, a company providing moving services. I might have saved myself and DH with all the troubles dealing with a not so good local moving company who were not able to live up to their commitment to us. Time, money and effort were exhausted with them as their services were no good. So the next time we have to do some moving again, we will definitely keep Ship Smart on our top list priority of moving service to get.
DS loves to play musical instruments since he was young. So we often buy him musical-related toys like a mini piano, drum set and guitars. He told us that he really wanted to play the guitar among others. I hope that we have enough budget for a guitar lesson for the little boy this summer. As parents, we support our children in honing their talents, this is one way for them to express themselves creatively.
Who knows, we might be buying a yamaha electric bass guitar for the little rocker in the house next time.The little boy even told us that he’ll be the next rock superstar. Ahaha! Rock on kid! We’ll be you number one fan! 😉
Last Valentine’s Day was just like a simple and typical day for us. No dinner date with hubby, no roses and chocolates, nothing extra special. Boring?! not really! because we’re not really used to celebrating the hearts day, added the fact that we don’t have budget for a fancy celebration. Ahaha!
Greeting each other with a warm hug and a kiss is enough for us. Besides, showing your love and appreciation to your loved ones doesn’t really have to wait for any special occasion.
And oh! we got a little surprise from the little boy, a simple card that he made from school!
He hugged me tight and handed me this card immediately when he saw me arrived from work. Another cherished moments indeed. 🙂
If you’re on a look on what to give your boyfriend or husband on your special day like anniversary, you can always count on the famous line ”get to his heart through his stomach”. This has always been an effective way on catching and winning a man’s attention and affection.
Apart from giving him those typical stuffs like techy gadgets, wallet, sports gear,etc. Giving him a simple and budget friendly surprise like cooking his favorite food or even baking a yummy and sweet cake for him will definitely make him happy.
I know I have been MIA again for quite awhile. I have been too busy (what’s new?!) with offline activities- office work and mommy duties. But glad to have accomplish something for the house.
Part of our home project early last year was the bathroom makeover, but it was put on hold since our budget is not enough to cover the expenses. We have to take into consideration some other important matters like our monthly budget and the kid’s educational/ school expenses.
but the long wait is over! We have finally push through with the bathroom renovation…
Materials (tiles, cement,etc) for the bathroom renovation
Work started last Monday and hubby told me that everything is all done by tomorrow. I can’t wait to see the new look by then! 🙂
I was the one who chose the tile design, DH wanted the other color (beige/tan) but of the same design. But I prefer the grayish-black.
to match this flooring tiles. I prefer simple and minimal design which I think is just perfect for a relaxing ambiance for the bathroom.
I am hoping that the kids’ room renovation will also take place this year. I am hoping and praying for a good and smooth work flow (online and offline) so we could save up for the said project.
