Mother's Day Present

First thing in the morning today, Bienne handed to me the surprise she wanted to give me. It's a printed blouse that I really like and a Mother's Day Greeting Card : " Mother's Day is a time for giving you the special attention you deserve...And that means thanking you for all you love and guidance, wisjing you happiness, and reminding you how very much you're loved!"

Love and Happiness Always.... Love, Bienne

I love you too Bienne and thank you so much!

Bienne also gave me a personalized card...

A Message From Heavenly Father to a Mother

This passage was given to me from the church today : Celebrating Mothers Day

Here It goes:

A woman once fretted over the usefulness of her life. She feared she wasting her potential being a devoted wife and mother. She wondered if the time and energy she invested in her husband and children would make a difference. At times she got discouraged because so much of what she did seemed to be unnoticed and unappreciated.

“Is it worth it?” she wondered. “ Is there something better that I could be doing with my time?”

It was during these moments of questioning that she heard the still voice of her Heavenly Father speak to her heart.

“ You are a wife and a mother because that is what I have called you to be. Much of what you do is hidden from the public eye.
BUT I NOTICED. Most of what you give is done without remuneration. BUT I AM YOUR REWARD. Your husband cannot be the man I have called him to be without your support. Your influence upon him is greater than you think and more powerful than you will ever know. I bless him through your service and honor him through your love. Your children are precious to ME. Even more precious than they are to you. I have entrusted them to your care to raise for Me. What you invest in them is an offering to Me. You may never be in the public spotlight, but your OBEDIENCE shines as a bright light before Me. CONTINUE ON. Remember, you are MY servant “

Join Dockers Video Contest

Make your own Docker’s commercial. They are holding a public online video contest where people can go online and submit their own videos. If you win, it will be viewed later this year on the Jay Leno show. However, NBC is not the sponsor of the contest and you must be 18 or older and a resident of the U.S.

The Dockers contest begins April 29, 2008, 11:30 pm EST. It ends 11:59 pm June 6, 2008. This is basically for anyone. Whether you have extensive video and movie-making experience or are just a complete amateur, you are welcome to try. However, it appears some of the videos submitted thus far are from more experienced people. Don’t be discouraged, though as we all know, some of the most entertaining videos we see on YouTube and television commercials these days are from some of the most amateur videographers, so why not?

By the way, Dockers is a high quality product, so making a video about it should not be so hard to do. They have made quality pants and shirts for such a long time.
No payment or monetary value will be given to the winner. Only air time with the video. But it must also be approved by NBC.

Here's the link of my favorite video from the list of contestants.

He is so Industrious

Hubby took the first day lesson in Tagalog. The first word he learned for today was industrious(masipag), and great, hot, warm, cold, windy, far, near, tall, heavy, slim, old, ugly, hungry, angry and new. He knew now all of that words in Tagalog..and used it in simple sentence. Bienne was the one who gave a test and hubby got a perfect score! Yehey! There will be a review tomorrow. Its not hard to learn tagalog if the learner is eager to learn.

Asthma Attack

I pity Bienne for having an asthma, she inherited it from my mother. Since she was born until now, she’s not allowed using any baby powder and baby cologne . Exposing to dust is not good for her also. Perfumes, air freshener, car freshener are no no to Bienne. Back in Gensan, she has this medicine for asthma but it didn’t work . . The parents of her classmates (kinder1) were afraid that their children might get her sickness. .how idiot they were, hehe! Didn’t they know that asthma is not transferable? Well maybe they thought it was a cough. Anyway, when we moved here in Cebu, her asthma still attacked her not until she had checked up in one of pediatricians in Cebu Doctors, she was given a prescription that really effective for kids ..its Singulair 5mg (chewable table) to be taken once per day , together with Meptin 5mcg syrup which is 2times a day. Since then she rarely had an asthma.. When I think that her asthma is attacking her, I immediately give that medicines and the next day, no more asthma. What a relief for a mother and Bienne as well. Still prayer is the key for healing.. Medicines just secondary.

Luggage on the Go

I love to travel around the country by plane most especially if the airfare is in promo rate and when I accumulated a lot of free miles already. It is so relaxing being able to reach your destination carrying your Rimowa luggage, with its high-quality materials that comes with different colors and sizes. I always want to use my blue luggage wherever I go. How about you?

If you are an Ass : A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble, and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little gr! oup of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.

If you are a Slug : Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what mak e s you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek your company and look forward to include you for all get-together's. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

If you are a Cockroach : Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfull! y deriv e work from people. You love being loved and when you receive your share of limelight from s omeone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well... Hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful.....

If you are a Parasite : An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

If you are a Skunk : You are near to perfect and nice at heart! . The e xamples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give, and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

If you are a Bullfrog : You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of fri ends! and go od at consoling pe ople in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love....

If you are a Snake : You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the w! ay you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

If you are an Ape : Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are.

Learning Tagalog Language

My hubby wanted to learn how to speak Tagalog, in fact he knew some Tagalog words already. You might ask why Tagalog and not Cebuano. Here's the reasons : 1. Tagalog is the national language, so where ever we are in the Philippines, he can understand and talk to Filipinos who can't understand and speak English. 2. I knew more tagalog than Cebuano dialect ( I'm Ilocano(100%) by blood, and ilonggo by nature). 3. Bienne speaks Tagalog not Cebuano so then she can help me teach hubby . Anyway, manila paper is ready now where I can write the basic words and common phrases/sentences used everyday.

Here's a story I wanna share why my hubby should learn Tagalog. I had a long lost friend residing now in Manila. While me and hubby was in Luzon last December, I contacted my friend so we can meet. We set a date. Ten minutes before the agreed time, I texted my friend and told her that we have to use plain English in our supposed conversation... right there and then she cancelled our meeting only because she didn't want to speak English though she's professional civil engr passer! Can you believe that? WhattaChick! hehe!

Best Car for You : Chevrolet Europe

Chevrolet Europe is an excellent forum for men who are really into cars. But also room to talk about other things. Take a look at some of the great photos on this site along with info about new vehicles coming into the market. It’s an internationally friendly site, so you can pick your country and see what’s new there.

Guilty Your Honor

I have only one focused mind. If I think of something, I can't think of any more concern aside from that something in my mind. I was so pre occupied on what to write (paid post). Wasn't able to think that 'twas already 6:00 PM ( time for dinner). I had to make dinner before anything else. I'm guilty your honor. I have to slow down a lil bit with this blogging thing.. I was just so overwhelmed of the opps I got.

SocialSpark is Here to Inspire You

When I found out that IZEA is going to launch another advertising network for bloggers and advertisers, I didn’t think twice about signing up with SocialSpark . I know that this is another way to monetize my blog. That’s one of the reasons why I’m blogging, to learn and earn from it. I also told my blogger friends if they have already signed up and all their answers were YES! Oh man, I think I was the last one to know about it. Anyway, what I like about SocialSpark is that you don’t need to chase just to get opportunities. All you have to do is to browse the marketplace, view all the opportunities and if you are qualified to take a certain opportunity that you like, you can. Or if there’s no slot, you can still get that opportunity by clicking the reservation button and waiting until there’s a slot for you. That’s how easy it is.

Here’s a few more things about SocialSpark: It is 100% auditable in-post disclosure, 100% transparent, 100% real opinions, and 100% search engine friendly. Meaning to say, bloggers have nothing to worry about page rank being slapped, they can say an honest review about the product, plus you can’t hide anything (both the blogger and advertiser) because these two have their own public profile that are viewable to all. Bloggers and advertisers can interact with one another. SocialSpark is really socially inclined. So far, I’m enjoying my stay with SS and I’m thankful for the opportunities they have given to me. Be social and get sparked now.

Movie Time

I had a great day yesterday in blogging but I slept late in the evening only because I didn't like to wait for today what I can do yesterday... sounds familiar? yeah yeah "Don't wait for tomorrow what you can do today".. Anyway, woke up at 9am seeing so many grays on the screen.. I wonder why..maybe because I updated my "categories" or maybe because I have 5 tack rating..whatever that means, I don't know the answer. All I want is to have PR hehe!

If yesterday I have the patience to salamangka the grays to make it white, not today.. I have no time for that, soon after posting this entry, I gonna prepare myself for a movie date with Andy. We'll watch "What Happens in Vegas". I've seen the preview of this movie and seemed so interesting and funny. I hope when we get back there's another goodnews in my email box.

Attractive Silk Plants

The newer generation of silk plants has arrived. Not only do they help to provide for a greener existence, but also provide for some extremely beautiful arrays of life-like plants. Many offices and workplaces enjoy the beauty of silk plants . They provide for a more calming, tranquil and decorative atmosphere to any office…and of course no watering. And they never have to be replaced.

We use only silk plants in our home. They are so easy to take care of. Actually, we DON’T take care of them. We are just able to enjoy the beauty without caring for them at all.

Excellent for gifts for friends also..and with no mess. Often used for weddings and table decor. Many people use various types for Christmas decoration. Can also be used for stage decorations and used by many churches nationwide.

Easy to choose from many different types: bonsai, hanging plants, orchids, Hawaiian flowers, pots, center table arrangements, topiary, aloe vera, cactus, trees of all kinds..virtually any type of plant or tree you can imagine.

These sheer design silk plants don’t easily gather dust, making cleaning and allergic reaction less of a factor.

To order from the catalog online, just call them toll-free from 9am to 9pm EST. Amazingly, they will ship world-wide.

Test IV : Essay

One type of a test during quizzes and exams back in high school and college that I really hated was Test IV, the essay. I really didn’t like writing because I have a topsy-turvy mind. I can’t formulate my thought into a sentence or paragraph. In short, all my answers were direct to the point. No flowery words included. I’m glad I survived and graduated without flying colors. My teachers and professors are smart enough to just looked for the keywords and gave me a passing score to each essay question.

Though I’m not into writing, I ended up doing blog entries with or without pay. If you can notice, my personal posts are mostly short, and my paid posts are exactly the required minimum number of words. Fortunately, never been rejected but instead always put on auto approved. What a luck!

Sunset Malibu Rehab Center

Malibu is not only a very beautiful place to live, it is also home to one of the most effective drug and alcohol rehab centers available in the country. It is truly a luxurious place to go if you have serious depression, alcohol, drug, eating disorders, or pain-killer drug addiction.

Located in a hidden area in Malibu, California with great sceneries and tranquil ocean views, you will certainly find yourself thankful you have made the decision to seek help at this most comfortable place.

Finally She is Moving

I've been waiting for the baby moves and finally she started to move last night inside my womb. Though I felt the slight moves before, last night was different. Hubby was able to feel it for the first time by his hand on my tummy. Since then the baby is moving so often. But sleeping during American sleeping time. =)

Sugar Production of Brazil

Did you know that BRAZIL was the largest sugar producing company in the world? That’s right…its no longer just a beautiful vacation spot with gorgeous countryside and beaches.

There are two main regions in Brazil which house the major harvesting centers for sugar cane: The Center-South Region, also known as the Sao Paulo region, and the lesser producing North-Northeast region.

The other well-known and popular need for cane sugar is the production of ethanol. For the purpose of Brazilian self-sufficiency and money savings with regard to importing petrol, the governmental has stipulated that a certain percentage of sugar be used for ethanol production only.

For companies which are in need of large sugar shipments, Brazilian Sugar may be the perfect supplier. They ship directly from their own sugar mills. By filling out the online for and sending it to them, you can easily get started.

Money Transfer

I'm so glad that the money sent to my first paypal account was successfully transferred to my new paypal email address. I thought the funds will be forfeited soon for not verifying my bank account for more than a month. Paypal really is easy to navigate and so safe. Now that I already transfered it to verified paypal account, no need for me think "so sayang the money" ..I made some paid posts from that. Well what a great feeling seeing your paypal account growing everyday. Hope paid blogging wont last for I really enjoyed this thing.

Healing Touch

Last month when my husband was sick and no findings after all the laboratory tests, we can do nothing but to take medicines prescribed by the doctors and just prayed. Those times I was looking for a passage from inspirational book that talks about healing, I found some. Today, I came across with this website entitled I Am Healed http://iamhealed.net/page/2/ . As I read the entire site, there are some articles that talks about healing and also verses from the Bible about healing and more. Anyway, its been two weeks now that my husband’s appetite is back to normal.. no more abdominal pains. Thank you Lord for the healing touch.
