Snow melts, streams swell, flowers bloom, What does Spring mean to you?

I woke up around 8:20 am this morning, with the thought that today was my Gyne Appointment but I canceled it since my period just arrived. And so, I am here instead in our house, doing some laundry while waiting for some opps and deal with my runny nose at the same time, with some tissue on the side. Well, yes, it has been a week now that I am still dealing with my runny nose...blowing here, blowing there...thank God, all our stuff were still here..I felt like a vacuum! And I am so irritated too since I couldn't breathe at night when I really wanted to go to bed but then my nose get stuffy and so I couldn't sleep since I am going to blow my nose again, over and over! Isn't that annoying? Well, I hope everything will get well soon! I hate having stuffy, runny nose!

Well, wish you all have a good day too! No sickness at all! Enjoy blogging as well...

Life Is Full of Gratitude...

My friend Te weng tagged me with this from my other post...and so I decided to post it here instead!

I have so much thing to be thankful for, for my parents, for giving me a life to enjoy of what I have right now, and for my siblings who supported me on my studies and of course, for giving me strength to face any life's great challenges. For my husband who is always there for me, for loving me and for bringing me some beautiful, nice flowers on my garden and making those flowers to bloom and be a better place to live. And for our having a son, who just make my world be more colorful than it was before, just made my life to the fullest. And of course, for Him who just always with us no matter what we do, still he always there for us. There's so much things to be grateful for, as far as I have right now, it's just little things but it is quite a big blessing that I couldn't imagine I could have. Life is so beautiful and there's a lot of things to be grateful for, and though there's a time we just murmured and complained, but above all, we learned from it.

Start Copy here

In order to be able to achieve and maintain happiness we need to, actively, be able to do two things: Complain and then let go (Dump the baggage, the roadblocks to happiness.) Express Gratitude (The open expression of gratitude promotes happiness.) After all everyone has something to be grateful for and/or something to complain about. If you would like to share, please follow the appropriate link and do so: “Are You Grateful?”, “Complain Complain Complain.”

Got A New Layout!!

Sunday, March 30

Finally, I made up my mind and decided to have a 2 column blog here! I have been browsing some nice layouts online but this is the best...I never had any dark color blog, so I decided to make this one is, so finally, I am done with it. Well, I had been accidentally deleted all my link post, and so I decided to copy my other blog's blogroll and trying to remember whose on my deleted link from my old layout. But if you find that you were not on my list, and we had exchange links, just let me know, and I would be so glad to add you again on my list. I just love my simple layout...I am not really into chocolate but I LOVE chocolate brown color! so simple and yet pretty! Well, hope you like my layout too! Anyway, I have been updating my blog here for 2 days now and finally, I had time to finish it. I have been away with the computer within those times too because of some extra curricular activities, I had this weekend! So, now it's almost bed time so, I decided to go to bed early as possible! Well, wish you all have a good night sleep tonight! Sweet dreams!

A Night of Eastern Pampering

Saturday, March 29

Imagine your love coming home from a long day at work to find your home transformed into an inviting Eastern encounter for two. As they look around they'll find you sitting there in your kimono, puring a cup of sake, waiting to tend to their every need. The perfect enounter? I think so!

What you'll need:

Stir fry and a wok, or Chinese takeout, chop sticks.
Pillows, with an oriental pattern.
Soft oriental rug.
Flowers, such as lotus blossoms, white lillies and orchids, and maybe a bonzai tree.
Jasmine incense or some other oriental scent.
Chinese lanterns.
Oriental music.
Sake or chinese tea.
Chinese massage oils and bath salts.
Kimonos or robes.

While your love is at work, re-arrange the furniture in the room so that you have a lot of floor space. Lay out the rug, pillows, and flowers on the floor in a comfortable, romantic pattern. Light the candles, lanterns and incense and place them in safe areas.

Dress yourself in a comfortable Chinese kimono or robe, and have some appropriate clothing laid out for your love. Just before you expect them to be home, lay out the sake, or hot chinese herbal tea and run them a hot bath. Use plenty of bath salts to create a nice relaxing aroma, and put on some soft oriental music. Soft lighting is also very important in setting the perfect mood.

When they arrive, be waiting for them, drinking a cup of sake or tea. Greet them with a bow and gently remove their shoes and heavy clothing. Seat them on a comfortable pillow and give them a cup of sake. Next, lead them to the bathroom, undress and bathe them. When you are done, leave them to soak and relax in the bath tub while you set up the food.

This could be an incredible experience for both of you. And what better way to show them how much you love and appreciate them than with a night of Eastern pampering?

Doing Well!

Finally, after three days of being sick, I am well now, though, I still have some runny nose, but it is more better than having sore throat and colds. And now, I am glad too that it is getting warmer and though we had snow two days ago, but it was nearly gone. I am glad it has been that way now, I hope there's no more winter.
Anyway, nothing new so far! Just as usual, here in front of my computer, doing blogs, taking good care of my son Josh, and of course, do some household chores once in a while now. And then, I have something to do today too, we will go to buy some groceries, and then I will meet my in laws at my sister in law's house to just having a get together with only girls, no kids, just us! lol! Well, that's good though since it's been a while now that i haven't had any get together, and some tete a tete with them. Well, hope you all have a nice weekend today as well!

Your Life is Rated PG

Your life is pretty family friendly. The worse someone is going to get from you is brief nudity or toilet humor.

Got Some Shoes! Again....

Yes, again! Isn't that obvious that I loved "Shoes!" Well, not really, though! I only have 10 shoes so far along with the two new ones, oh three I bought this month. Ehem! Not bad eh!?

Well, just today, I finally received those shoes I just bought online a few days ago, I bought Skechers flat shoes and a Lifestride mules shoe at TraderShoe.com. Well, they were so pretty! I love their styles and designs too. I am in size 6, so finding my favorite shoes is sometimes would take a lot of time. And so glad I just found them and I never hesitated to buy them as soon as they dropped on sale. Well, yup! they were on sale! So lucky me! eh!!!

Well, here they are my lovely shoes! lol!

Sick Sick Sick!

Wednesday, March 26

Well, I am doing well, yesterday, though I just felt some light itchiness in my throat but it was gone after a while. And just last night, while after having a dinner and watched American Idol and some reality shows at Tru tv channel, I felt soreness of my throat, I was so irritated since it hurts too. I tried to find some medicine but couldn't find one so, I rather drink a lot of water to ease the soreness but it's not working at all. Until I went to bed and fell asleep. But during my sleep, I guess, I woke up like three times, since I felt so uncomfortable and uneasy with swallowing. But then I still tried not to swallow and went back to sleep.

And when I got up this morning, it was worst! I couldn't even went to sleep again. So, I decided to get up and drink some water. I was totally sick today! I felt like I was so tired! Very very tired! (ambot na lang jud ani oy!) So, I will call my husband to get me some medicine, since I couldn't take it anymore. It is better to keep medicine at your medicine cabinet at any time since whatever you might need it, you can treat the sickness, right away. Well, if I only knew that I would get some sore throat today! lol! Oh! but still, it's better to be prepared! Well, I wish it will get better soon, though!!!

Easter Greeting!

Sunday, March 23

hello guys! Just wanted to greet you all a happy Easter! Have fun! So I wanted to share you some Easter Poem, you can enjoy!

Bless this day the joy of life,

The revelation of the flesh,
The paradise of man and wife
Joined to share the gift of bliss.

Bless this day the pain of life,
The passion that redeems the flesh,
The love between a man and wife
Beyond all agony and bliss.

Bless this day the end of life,
The peace within the dying flesh,
The bond between a man and wife
That long outlasts their bit of bliss.

Bless this day the whole of life,
The grace of being more than flesh,
The voyage of a man and wife
Across the mystery of bliss.

Finally Done!

Friday, March 21

After waiting for few months, I finally made something to make my application for schoo and FaFSA a few days ago, my hubby helped me with it. Just a few days ago, I already sent out my application to Macomb Community College where I wanted to attend and study an associate degree in Nursing. And then, just two days ago, I finally sent to them my transcript record for evaluation if I still need to take basic placement test in English and Math. And then, I already did the evaluation for my transcript at ECE.org which took place a year ago and just now we had to used it. But then, they wanted a copy which directly sent from ECE. They don't want a copy from us, which is ridiculuos since it is the same hard copy. But anyway, I have to come up with their school regulation, so I re-order it again and sent my order to ECE. Thank God, it's finally over! Now I am waiting for Macomb to send me some next step to take. I hope they will not let me to take a placement test. I am kind a excited to start schooling this fall. I hope I can do it while being a housewife and a mom at the same time was just like being a working student. I hope everything will be fine then...
Well, that's all for now!

Savign Forever For You

Friday, March 14

This is an old song, but I'm loving it!!! And I love the lyric as well...It sung by Shanice entitled, "Saving Forever for You" it's actually from the music soundtrack of Back to Beverly Hills 90210.
here it goes:

Hoo…ooh…

I’ve never been so sure
About anything before
But this loving feeling
Gonna be a feeling I feel forever more

Looking in your eyes
Tomorrow’s all I see
Long as there’s forever, baby
I will always be

Saving forever for you, baby
You are the only one
I’ll ever give forever to
Love for a lifetime won’t do, baby
Wanna always stay together
So I’m saving forever for you

Ho…oh…oh…oh…

You’ll be my world
As long as there’s a world turning ‘round
And you’ll be my heaven
Baby, till the heavens all come falling down [All come falling down]

Look inside my heart [Oh, yeah]
Love is all you’ll see
Loving you forever, baby
Living just to be

Saving forever for you, baby
You are the only one
I’ll ever give forever to
Love for a lifetime won’t do, baby
Wanna always stay together
So I’m saving forever for you

Forever I’ll be loving you
Long as time passes by
I’ll be there beside you, ho
Through it all, I’ll be standing by you

Looking in your eyes
Tomorrow’s all I see
Long as there’s forever, baby
I will always be
Needing you here with me

Saving forever for you, baby
You are the only one
I’ll ever give forever to
Love for a lifetime won’t do, baby
Wanna always stay together
So I’m saving forever, saving forever for you

Saving forever (Yeah…) for you (Hoo…ooh…ooh…)
You are the only one
I’ll ever give forever to (You are the only one)
Love for a lifetime won’t do, baby (Hey…ey…ey…)
Wanna always stay together
So I’m saving forever, saving forever for you

Saving forever for you (Hoo…ooh…ooh…ooh…)
You’re the only one
I’ll ever give forever to (I’ll ever give forever to)
Love for a lifetime won’t do...

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?

Tuesday, March 11

You Follow Your Heart

You're romantic, sentimental, and emotional.

You tend to fall in (and out of) love very quickly.

Some may call you fickle, but you can't help where your emotions take you.

You've definitely broken a few hearts, but you're not a heartbreaker by nature.

Your intentions are always good, even if they change with the wind

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?

Wednesday, March 5

I am just curious if I am still a little girl!! I was surprised with the result! I am a woman now! lol! Well, this is good news for me that I could even be a perfect wife!

You Are A Woman!

Congratulations, you've made it to adulthood.

You're emotionally mature, responsible, and unlikely to act out.

You accept that life is hard - and do your best to keep things upbeat.

This makes you the perfect girlfriend... or even wife!

What Happen To Me Today!

Well, I never had enough time to post and update my blog here! Just when I have some space to write something about. Well, nothing new so far, just done eating our dinner after we've been to a Philippine Mart. I went to there to buy something for myself again, some fresh sauteed shrimp, Tocino, some chitcherya as well. I missed those junk foods we had back in the Philippines, so, I was kind a new to some of them, though, I could taste that they were so yummy!!! I couldn't wait to get some mango again...
Anyway, I met my sister today too at the Philippine Store. I missed her a lot! Thankful enough we've seen each other once in awhile due to her work so we couldn't able to see and go out more often. I watched some episodes today of "lobo" I was kind a irritated since it's "bitin" I was so excited what's going to happen tomorrow, though! I really love this fantasy series though of ABS-CBN.now.

Well, time for bed now, I will try to update more for this blog...well, have a good night sleep to every one!

Feeling Well

Monday, March 3

After 5 days I am feeling much better than a few days ago. Probably from having flu and period is somewhat made my body aches and wanted to get some rest. Now I am feeling much better. Well, My day was fine. I just had done with the laundry and while waiting I watched some of my favorites online shows on abs cbn now. And then, sometimes waiting for some moola to come again today, but it seems like none at all. Well, not on my main blog but to my other blogs it works pretty good, though.

A few days ago, I decided to buy my own eggplant rather than buying it at the store where I got the breaded eggplant and I liked it. And now, I decided to make my own and just brought a homemade breading form that store and make my own. I fried it and wow!!! It's the same as what they sell! Now I decided to make my own breaded eggplant. That's what new to me I guess. Just love it! I am not an eggplant lover but I am into it now, probably of not having too much veggies here in America to eat, I felt missing those veggies we had back home...

Well, just a quick update here! It's time for us to go to rent some movies, though!!! Will see ya all guys tomorrow!
