I would like to greet you all a joyous and have a fruitful new year!!! Wishing you all the best in the year 2011!!!

Nothing More To Asked, I'm Blessed!

Now that i have these two precious blessings i got, i have nothing more to asked, because i am so much contented having them in my life, i am blessed!!! They are the blessings that are not bought in the store, they're given to me to love and to take care of them. The priceless blessings that i will treasure for the rest of my life, they are my joys, my everything and source of strength whenever i am down. They are the reason why i am so thankful and grateful all through these years, they made me complete as a woman, i gave birth to these precious boys and because of them, i am called a mother and got the chance to take care of them as my children and i am so proud of them as their mother.

Not all women are blessed to have a child and because i have them, i feel so blessed and lucky having them as my adorable children. I will try to the best that i can to be their loving mother and will do everything to protect them from any harm. I love these two boys with all my heart.... I count my blessings every single day and they are the most precious blessings i ever have in my whole life, and of course i can't have them right now without having such a loving husband that's been so supportive and responsible father to our boys.

Sports Trophies

It's not in our family that is really fascinated with sports. I am just hoping that my two boys will start to like the sports, since sports is really a good hobby for them. My five year old son said one time that he wants to be a baseball player or maybe a soccer player and it made me happy hoping that when is in certain age he will do what he said to me. I won't force him to join any kinds of sports activities though, for i will just support what he wants to do when he grow up, but it would be so nice if he will join any sports and receive those sports trophies that i always see in the television only. I am sure it feels great to see a son winning in a game and receiving a very nice reward for him to display it in his own room.

Daddy Broke His Son's Heart

Daddy made someone cry yesterday. Daddy and Mommy both agreed to shop yesterday dragging along the kids with us. We went to the electronic store because we already planned to buy our oldest son his ever wished toy, the Wii game. So i really thought that hubby would get it right then since we were there already. But then he told me that he was just looking around and not planning of buying it right away.

But our young man already saw the game soon as we entered the store and he was all excited when he saw that there was a whole bunch of them stacked right in front of the entrance of the store. When we left the store, the boy was heart broken, crying his heart out for he really wanted to have the new game so bad. I just can tell how much he got disappointed, Daddy did not buy the game he's been wishing to get for Christmas. Hubby and i was just kind of laughing and told the boy that let santa give it to him. He should be nice so santa will give the toy that he wants. Well, our son did not really throw a fit like this boy in the picture below, but i felt bad that he shed some tears because Daddy did not get his ever dreamed to have toy.The other reason why we went to that store is because we were supposed to get the lens that hubby wants to buy for me as his Christmas present. But we're kind of disappointed when we found out that they don't have available for it. So, i told hubby that we might as well go to the store which really specialized for the camera and the accessories. I got now a new camera lens but not the lens that we ought to buy, it's the better one though, so no regrets.

Anyway, after we're done at the camera store, we went to the restaurant to dine. The boy settled down and ate for he said he was starving. He'd probably forgot the toy already. So hubby said that we'll go home after we eat. But then as we headed home, i saw the store where i should get some things for the presents and told hubby to just take me there and thought that it would be good if he will just drop us off there and go back to the store where he can get the game since it's only a block away. We agreed, i shopped with the kids with me, hubby went to the store to get the game and got back just in time i was about done shopping.

The boy came home happy even though he did not know that Daddy got the Wii game for him. Hubby and i both are happy that we got the toy for our dear son. Hubby just don't want our young man to see the toy while we're buying it for him for we both know that he won't stop bugging us to let him play it and besides, it won't be a surprise no more for him if he will know. We both can't wait to see our son's reaction for we are so sure that he will be so happy to have it. I can just picture out in my mind the popping eyes and the big O lips haha :)

Personalized Baby Gifts

Most of you probably know that i can no longer make babies, for i am done with babies. So this third child i have right now which is only sixteen months is my baby, and will be my baby forever just like his big brother although he doesn't like being called baby anymore. Every special holiday such as Christmas, i never miss getting them a special personalized baby gifts for boys. I started doing it since i had my first child and until this third baby i have. It's kind of fun for me to do every year, and now i have the perfect idea of gifts for my precious boys that i am sure they will love it. Also, since my friend just barely delivered hers, i might as well get something for her precious little one this holiday season.

No More Wet Feet

Even wearing boots is not enough sometimes during winter for when the snow starts to melt, then there's a possibility that socks can get wet inside the boots. It already happened to me a lot of times and it's not fun at all because if i go somewhere i have to deal with my wet feet and it'll start to hurt due to too much cold, instead of keeping it warm. So when i found out that i can wear an overshoes, then it made me so happy that my will never get wet anymore during when the snow will pour so hard. Also, it will make my feet stay warm and dry.

Drive Carefully Honey

Having a cheap car insurance doesn't mean that it doesn't cover everything. It only depends to the car owner if he/she has some violations then for sure the insurance company will give you the higher rates. That's why hubby is always reminding me to "drive carefully honey" especially during snowy days. It's going to be so slippery and the road will be sleek due to the black ice presence. I already slipped many times but i was so thankful that i was able to manage not to bump. It sure is so scary to drive when snow is pouring so hard, especially here in our town which is always getting snow because we are close to canyon.

Cocktail Dresses That I Like

For the first time since i got here, i was invited to a FIL-AM ASSOCIATION Christmas party. Actually this is not my very first invitation but i did not attend those previous invitation because i just simply don't feel like attending those kind of big party that i mostly don't know the people around me. But this time i said yes to the lady who invited me because my friends will come with me as well, so i won't be left out for i am sure that there will be chit chatting that will be going on to that party. You know, women likes to talk a lot, don't we all? lol!

So because it's a formal party, everyone must wear a formal dress as well. Tuxedos for the guys and long or mini cocktail dress for women. As for me since i am not a tall person, i should just wear the mini dress. The problem i have though is, i don't have that much of a nice looking dress because i hardly wear those kind of attire because i mostly attended parties which was held in my friend's house. So, there's no reason for me to buy a whole lot of nice dress because i have nowhere to wear it anyway. Jeans and nice tops is good enough for me.

So this time, i will have to wear a cocktail dress, which i am excited about it though. It will be my first time to wear cocktail dress and seeing different kinds of nice dresses in the party. I am sure that a lot of women would flaunt their bodies wearing their snug nice dresses. As for me, i love to wear those strapless kinds so to flaunt my upper part of my body. Anyway, these are just the samples of the cocktail dress that i like, but since i don't have something like these, i have no choice but to settle to what i have here in my closet. Also, how i wish that i have these ladies's voluptuous kind of body, lol! So for you, which one you like the most? The yellow dress or the silver one? I like them both though....

Stressful Year It Was

When i gave birth to my third child over a year ago, i was dealing a scary problem about hair loss due to stress. I was so scared that it might get worse because i was so stressed for i have to take care of my five year old son and have to take care of my newborn at the same time. Not to mention that i delivered caesarian section. And two weeks after i delivered my healthy baby boy, i had to undergo another surgery to take my gall bladder out. Last year was a very stressful year for me. I was so emotionally down because i wanted to rest but i couldn't because no one can take care of my kids while i rest. That stress was the cause of my hair fall that made me so worried. Good thing that my hair fall did not lasted too long, i was able to cure it with a treatment i found over the net.

My Flirty, Naughty Friend

Preparing and wrapping presents is a little hassle for me but on the other hand it's also fun. It's hassle because sometimes i can't think of anything what to give to my dear family and friends. Just like my friend here who lives close to our house. She's always been son nice to me, giving me cooked dinner and giving me things that i don't expect her to give me. So since i can see that she is a little flirty and naughty, i was thinking that buying her a plus size lingerie will make her excited. She's always telling me "bed stories" though lol!. Not the kind of bed time stories like what kids usually wants to hear from their parents before they fall asleep.

Younger Brother's Birthday

Before the day ends tonight, i would like to greet my younger brother who turned twenty seven years old today. He is now a sailor and sailing heading to Japan. He is working in a cargo ship that sails worldwide. He just left America last two weeks ago and too bad i was not able to see him here for the ship he was into docked in New Orleans, Louisiana which is very far from here in Utah. He said they might have a trip that goes to Los Angeles California later but not so sure about it yet. I am hoping that we will meet together someday here in America and he can visit us here in Utah.

But aside from all that, i would like to wish my brother a good health as he sails and hoping that he is happy right now celebrating his very special day. A very hardworking brother i have, i am so proud of him that he finally have his dream come true to be able to tour the world for free.... Happy birthday my brother, I Love You and always take care! God bless you all the time!

Replace The Whole Thing

We have been searching some computer monitors for our dear son because he wanted a bigger monitor. That's already in our list since we like to replace everything as a new desktop computer. The one that he's been using right now is not working as good anymore. Probably because it's old and not updated, plus the fact that it has virus that needs to be wiped out. We need to get rid on this computer of my son soon. He is very excited to have the new desktop is going to have this coming Christmas, not knowing he is going to have another Christmas gift from Daddy and Mommy too.

Get Together With My Good Friends

It always makes me feel good whenever we have gatherings with my dear good friends because that's the only time that i get to talk to my fellow Filipina here abroad that are married to Americans like me. I am very picky person when it comes to friends because for me, i would rather be alone than having so many friends which are not real. I only got few chosen friends who chose me to be their friends as well that i love. They are just few but they are true and genuine.

Yesterday we had another get together. What we did was we drew our names for this coming new year so we can have our exchange gifts party. We did it last year and we wanted to do it this coming new year again. On Christmas day, we probably not going to have a party since each of our family has already plans. Hubby and i did not plan anything yet though, but we'll see what we can come up to. Maybe we'll just take the kids to the capital city and take them to the big place where there's lots of different colors of Christmas lights.

But before we left yesterday, i was playing with my camera trying to set the right settings and my young man wanted to be taken pictures of too. So i just let him and he was being silly, but i love the result though, although he wasn't looking at the camera, he posed and told me that he is an X-man, while i cut my head off! lol! But the other shots were good so far. So here's the photos below i was talking about. There's more in my FB account.

My Son's Creativity

My son is only kindergarten but i am seeing his creativity already. Although his creation is not as excellent like other talented kids, but i admire his perseverance to do something that makes us his dad happy and proud of him. So for him to explore more about being a creative kid and for him to learn more about doing that kind of activities, we are going to take him to an educational building where he can find lots of point of purchase displays. There's a whole lot of different kinds of creations that we are so certain that he will exclaim as soon as he sees all those. I can't wait to see his reaction, although i am already expecting and imagining the excited face of my son.
