No Title

Posted on April 11, 2011 by Lerlyn | 8 Comments

An entry without a title is like an author who doesn’t have authority. Hehe! This update is meaningless so don’t waste your time reading it or else you’ll find out the mistakes and then you’ll get upset, then you’ll think of me even more. I’m wondering why one or two people are wasting their time reading my blog posts and what they could see are mistakes. I’m referring not to my friends who read this but to people whom I don’t even know ( by face, by blog, by nationality,etc.) . I want them to get lost, but this is internet and everyone could read it. Oh well, they love me, they love my life, they care about me that’s why they are reading. Maybe they are curious why I have this wonderful life. Hehe! Or maybe they are waiting when I fall down or die. The secret of happy life is not finding a mistake but to accept other’s weaknesses. I was born to be happy and of course I was here and I’m here to commit mistakes in English language. I’m not here to share the so-called ” Well Written Piece” but to share my simplicity, honesty, and justice for all. LOL!

1st Trimester is Over

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Lerlyn | 8 Comments

I’m now on my 2nd trimester..yey! What an easy pregnancy. I might know the gender this week if I get the chance to set my appointment for ultrasound. I’m hoping and praying for a baby boy so that I could rest from giving birth, breast-feeding, raising baby &toddler because to tell you honestly, it’s not easy! I think the only easy part is the pregnancy alone. And yeah, if it’s a girl, we’ll try for another one, and that’s it : girl or boy, we’re done.

The good thing about having many kids ( like 3 or 4) is that in the future, when there will be reunion among family members , it’s gonna be fun. Like they said ” The more, the merrier”. And when we( the parent) get old, we could visit from one child to another and enjoy the moment while we are still alive. We are aiming for a ” close family tight” oops!( close family ties) among siblings just like the typical Filipino families. I hope all my children will embrace the Filipino culture forever.

10 weeks Pregnant

Posted on March 7, 2011 by Lerlyn | 5 Comments

Going to 11th week now and guess what? I felt like I’m not pregnant in the sense of smelling and feeling of dizziness , nausea and headache. I don’t feel any of them in my first trimester. I don’t feel sleepy as well in the middle of the day. What I’m trying to say is, I’m a lucky pregnant woman. I still have two weeks to end my first trimester but I don’t think I’ll suffer the vomiting stage. How I love being pregnant if I don’t feel any crap at all. So far so good. I like the smell of any food ( even ginisa no problem), perfume, soap, etc. I thanked the Lord for the blessing, for the easy pregnancy. I don’t know what I did to deserve all these things . Well, I think I know the answer for that, it’s because I have Jesus in my life and I have a loving and supportive husband, I have wonderful kids, and great people around me that make this pregnancy as easy as 1,2,3.

Done Cleaning

Posted on March 5, 2011 by Lerlyn | Leave a comment

I spent more than an hour cleaning this blog… not the blog-roll but many posts that needed to be removed. It’s time to reactivated this blog to my ever favorite sheriff who didn’t fail me since I started receiving tasks from them. I regretted why I deactivated my blog from them dated October 2009, but I’m fortunate that their door is still open for me after all I’ve done, hehe! I’m lucky as always, thank you madam “M” for the positive response. I will never ever leave your company again and I promise to be loyal to you! Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I’m looking forward for more assignments from you. God bless.

Relaxing Moment

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Lerlyn | 3 Comments

My busy days are over! I’ve been so busy since the first week of December and now time to relax and pamper myself in my little and romantic way, LOL! I know my busy days would continue but at least it won’t be that busy like the last three months, not until my due date! Oh gosh I’ll not think about it just yet.

You could tell that I have an ample time at this moment because I got a chance to update my blog plus doing stuff like scented candles, roses and bubbles! See that? Hehe! I don’t want to throw the roses without doing crazy thing, I meant romantic thingmagagig . The hubby gave me 12 roses 10 days ago ( Valentine’s day) and the quality is pretty amazing. Its been almost two weeks and yet the color is still vivid.

Soaking myself in a hot-tub for an hour has been my regular routine especially on fall and winter time. It’s very relaxing and soothing, good for the heart,mind and soul…. hhmm really? Hehe! When I’m on it, I tend to think and imagine of anything good, day dreaming I should say. Hehe! Don’t get me wrong, hell no, I don’t think green, haha! promise! Good night! It’s now 12:09 AM , time to sleep and wake up at 8AM..healthy sleeper huh? 8 hours .. to maintain my figure, LOL!

>Love my New Job

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Lerlyn | 6 Comments

This job was offered to me three years ago by my loving husband, I was pregnant then and not interested to any complicated job. I didn’t say yes or no to the job offer. My bad I know. So, the husband hired an accountant in the Philippines. There were two accountants who applied and fixed the book (quick book). When we moved here in the US couple years ago, we only hired one accountant from Cebu. She was given an access to log-in to our office business-PC anytime she’s available and she was compensated by doing so. A part time job for her with a good salary. But after two years that she was employed as a bookkeeper of the company, she became lazy of doing her job. She was given many chances to do it but she just didn’t do it. She said she needed the job but where was she? And so the husband told me that I will be the one to do her job. What a challenge for me and then I realized that her job was very easy to do. I asked myself why I didn’t do this before? Accounting is not hard after all! I’m enjoying it.

It is about time to get involve in the business so I could help my husband building it. He’s teaching me how to deal business transactions not just the bookkeeping but also payroll, printing checks, invoices, encoding payments, making estimates and other stuff. I feel so useful since I started working, I’m no longer just the plain stay-at-home-mom but an office girl! One of my dreams when I was young, to be a career-woman someday! I’m fulfilling that dream right now. And will be receiving the first refund ITR next month or so! That’s what I like about being employed, I have to pay tax, get a refund each year and when I’m retired I’ll get my pension without sweat. Thank you my husband for employing me, for thinking about my future. I love you, you are the best as always!

>What a Bid

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Lerlyn | 3 Comments

When I have extra on my paypal, I used to buy outfits on Facebook ( FB seller, a regular member) not because I’m crazy about the clothes but it’s my desire to help the seller to gain an income out from the items sold. I tend to buy on regular prices. I found out lately that the wholesale price from the supplier was really cheap, and you can order to the supplier without minimum. You can buy one item for a wholesale price. You triple the price of the supplier and that’s the price of the seller on facebook. What a rip-off I know. I still placed an order to that seller, but this time I joined on the bid because I know it’s cheaper but still expensive to a very low quality items. One of the items I’ve won was priced starts at $2.99 but it reached 9$. The photo was deceiving, looks like wow but when it was on my hand, yay! It was exactly like 2PhP ukay-ukay! Haha! What a price plus $9 shipping! I know I shouldn’t buy the tricky bid but how can I hold myself from helping others ? The seller is ripping me off big time ! I messaged her though that the shipping was not $9 but $4.99 and her answer was, ” it was a bid item girl, I have to make the shipping fee higher so I can earn few bucks”. Fool yourself seller! I’m disappointed with her business strategies. Now, I have to hide her on FB so that I won’t be tempted of helping her again by buying her stuffs. I have learned my lesson, I should help myself first before helping others. If you are a seller, don’t try fooling your regular customers but instead give them motivation or free token… or else you’ll lose them.

>Goodbye Sweet Lucy

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Lerlyn | 6 Comments

image 1 : with maLucy and her grandson Asher. Christmas Eve 2010
image 2: with her immediate family: her kids and grandchildren & my FIL

My beloved step-mom-in-law passed away yesterday 12:40PM. The loveones that she left behind are brokenhearted especially my father-in-law who loved her so dearly. They were married for 25 years. She’s been sick(worse) for couple of years and on-bed rest for that long, couldn’t walk. The cause of her death was “Multiple Sclerosis” and other complications of such disease.The family visited her occasionally, she was in good condition each time we visited her. She loved to be with the girls, liked to talk and play with Bienne. She was so sweet and thoughtful to me too. The last time we were together as family was Christmas Eve( 3 weeks ago) at her house. She was holding my hands for hours,we just sat on the couch watching TV and chitchatting. She whispered to my ears that she saw my father-in-law crying so often lately and that he needs our presence when she’s gone. Yeah, she already given us signs that soon she’ll go. She gave me her beautiful rocking chair because she knew we are expecting a baby this year. A day before her death, I found out that I’m pregnant and I messaged her daughter to tell her and FIL that I’m pregnant. But she was already in the ICU with life support. I told my husband about the situation and he drove to OC to visit her in the hospital and to be with the rest of the family. It was about time to remove the life support because there’s no chance she’ll stay alive, as per advise of her doctor and by permission from the family, it was agreed to remove the apparatus from her system. Two hours after that, she’s dead. She’s now resting in peace. She died at age 68. The memory of her remains forever. We celebrated our birthdays twice since I arrived here in the US, we have the same date of birth. We have the same initials (L.P), I will be missing her. Goodbye sweet Lucy. I love you.

>About This Year

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Lerlyn | 1 Comment

I thought the beginning of this year would be boring for me because I was thinking in advance that I’d be pregnant by 3rd week of Dec 2010 and that my mood for January would be awful from symptoms like early morning sickness and headaches but I was wrong in 2 ways : first, I didn’t get pregnant! What the heck! I should be; second, my first week of January was a lot of fun — get together party last Wednesday and birthday party Saturday. The fun will be continued this Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. My new year started with parties and get-together with family and friends. And I think it’s gonna be this way until December, with or without me getting pregnant! I’m dying to get pregnant this month. I would be very disappointed if I’ll have my period this month.

I also cut my hair for about 8 inches shorter! I don’t care about my long hair anymore (denial stage). It was so hard to manage ( not that I’m lazy! FYI, I had my long hair for almost two decades! Not just long but straight, shinny and bouncy! Char!) See? I’m not lazy, hehe! Just that I need a new look , for a change! The cosmetologist was so scared to cut my hair at first, she asked me several times if I’m sure about the length that need to be cut. I said if she could cut a little more, don’t hesitate to do so..after all, my hair grows fast in no time. And then she was happy cutting my hair. She’s friendly and she allowed me to dictate her about the hair style that I want.. And yeah, I’m satisfied with the result! I only paid $14.99 plus $7 tip. I never thought that hair-cut costs that less, I thought the price was like $35 or $45! Good for my hair then, I’ll definitely go back to the salon regularly.

>I know Now

Posted on January 2, 2011 by Lerlyn | 1 Comment

Just for the record, I’m no longer on Facebook! Virtually, I’m still on Facebook but no longer checking it every hour of my life! I used to be an addict on that social networking site. One morning of December 27 last year, I just thought and realized that my time spent Facebooking was ridiculous! And yeah, since that day, I rehabilitated myself and I’m crossing my fingers not to relapse anytime soon. The reason why I put a wall between FB and myself is that it’s no longer productive when it comes to time management. No matter how I budget my time, the majority of it went to FB! I don’t know why, I think I’m really addicted to it. But not anymore! Yo bye bye Facebook! I’m not really against FB, infact I gained some regular customers for MaryKay. In a way, I owe it to FB. I’m still checking my FB inbox from time to time for that purpose, and at the same time I get a chance to communicate with them and my friends. I’m just partially out on FB, meaning I don’t check the home page, updates and most especially no more browsing new uploads (photos).

Today is the first day of the year, I dedicated myself to my family alone. Arianna ( 2 yo) is ready to learn how to read so I have to focus on that not just today but everyday. Another productive thing that took place today is that I know now how to thread my eyebrows!!! Oh yeah, I’m so proud of myself! Hehe! If you calculate how much I saved for one session of face threading, that’s $30 plus tip! Oh my oh my! I’m so overwhelmed really! Threading which I thought very hard to do is just so easy as 1-2-3! So, no more plucking for me!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

>Christmas Party with Girl Friends

Posted on December 25, 2010 by Lerlyn | Leave a comment

December 23, 2010 — my circle of friends decided to have a get-together-party on this day in honor of Christmas. We planned the event for only three days! It was quite easy to plan since we’re only 5. Hi 5 ! Each one of us brought our favorite dish. We also had “kriskringle”, games, and photo-shoot as usual. We wore our best outfit in red..too bad one of my friends got sick so, she had to wear her coat.

In my previous post ( Christmas party), the event was kinda huge and became the “talk of the town” because of the red lingerie. I don’t want to elaborate the subject because she’s a Filipina – the one who wore such daring outfit on Christmas party. I brought up this topic because this is one of the reasons why I really wanted to have another Christmas party ( with close friends). The image of Christmas should be preserved with honor and respect. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus, right? Do you think it’s proper to wear 2-piece and lingerie on Christmas party? Oh well, who am I to question? Hehe! What did I wear anyway? Tube-ba-chuchu!!! Hahaha!

Back to Christmas party with girl friends. Well, it was amazing, awesome, so formal setting , and not to mention very intimate! Small group is better than huge. No one got OPd ( out-of-placed). Everyone had her own part in the party.

Christmas is the best event of the year! Happy Birthday Jesus. Thank you for the second chance you have given to each and everyone of us. Thank you for everything!

>Christmas Party 2010

Posted on December 20, 2010 by Lerlyn | 1 Comment

The Christmas party last night was fabulous! The hostesses did all their best to make the party well organized. And yeah, it was successful! There were about 5 Filipina mommies who facilitated the event from decoration, foods, prizes, games, and gift giving . My family was just one of the invited guests, so the only thing I contributed was chopsuey which I cooked and a $10 for lechon.

98% wore their best in Red! 1% wore her best green attire, and guess who was the other 1% who didn’t follow the instruction? Me!!! I wore my grayish-silver outfit. I already bought my outfit before I realized that it should be red or green Christmas dress. I just put some red accent to my get-up. Anyway, the party was not about the color of the dress but the gifts! Joke oi! It was about celebrating the birth of our Jesus!

The party started around 3PM and it ended 11:30PM. That was quite a long party huh?

Merry Christmas everyone!
