Happy New Year!

10 Months

My son has turned 10 months last December 22. And at 10, he can already walk fast, sit and /or bend to pick up something that he has dropped. He wants to tinker anything that catches his attention. I could already see him someday tinkering gadgets and be interested in things like toshiba laptops batteries. And yes, one of his lower front teeth has erupted already and another one is coming out. And on top of this, he said the magic word to me...he finally called me "mama"..it was so touching to hear it from him! and yes he is now pertaining it to me, and I'm very sure of that.

My 10 month old is very energetic, very mobile and very curious :). I could see in him all of the things that normal 10 month old babies do and he's even advance. He's really growing up fast :)

I Got Gifts!

Christmas is over but fret not, for there’s still the New Year to celebrate. Meaning, you can still give your gifts to me, lol! Anyway, I was happy that I was given gifts by my sisters this Christmas. For the past years, I have not received anything, though of course that’s okay with me. It’s better to give than to receive right? But I am really happy to get two presents to open during Christmas Eve. I didn’t know that when I told my youngest sister that I like her jeans, weeks before Christmas, she will remember it and so she gave me a pair of jeans. Of course it’s not an apple bottom but I really like it. I also received a blush from my older sister. Christmas is really one of the best times of the year. Not because of the gifts but the love that binds the family together :)

Merry Christmas To All!

Massage Theraphy

Two weeks ago, I played badminton with my friends. It’s my first time to play again after so many years so I felt new with the game. And though I did a few stretching exercises before hitting the court, I still felt achy the following day. And until now, some joints and my hip muscle are still achy. During times like this the only person I trust to give me a massage is my husband but since he’s not here, I'm left without a choice but to endure the pain…ouch! I guess, I better learn some massage therapy program online so I can give myself proper massage when needed.

Baby's Gifts

I’m now preparing for my son’s first birthday and I’m thinking if I will register somewhere for his gift registry. You see, it’s so easy to think of gifts for babies. They are the easiest person to please. So I’m sure there will be gifts that might double if I’m not going to have some gift registry. But you what, I really want something personal for my son. Personal Creations baby gift ideas can be the best gift for babies and kids not only this Christmas but on all baby occasions.

My Wish Is To Be Debt Free

Are there any companies here than offers debt negotiation like San Diego debt negotiation offers? As much as possible I want to start the coming year debt free so I want to pay all my debts (especially credit card debts) because I know if I still have some debts to pay, it’s a burden and I cannot move on. Now that I’m a stay at home mom, and only rely on my online earnings (which is actually not so stable) I have to be very good in managing our finances. Having debts is a pain in the neck that stresses than somebody’s life. So my plan is to pay all my credit card debts (hopefully with the last pay that I’ll receive) and start the year debt free. This is one of my wishes that I’m praying God will help me achieve because knowing the total amount that I will receive, it could be impossible, but with God I know anything is possible.

I'm Using Organics

Since I started using human nature product, I decided to stick to it since there are organic and no harmful chemicals. I first tried their hair mask and I fell in love with it, LOL! Now, I’m using as many products that I want like their shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, facial wash, and a lot more. I was even able to persuade a friend to try their shampoo since it promises to stop hair fall, which is one of his big problems before. After a few weeks he told me that his hair fall stopped and he feels that his hair is much stronger and fuller. I joked that now, he doesn’t have to worry about finding the best hair transplant surgeon someday, hahaha!

Well, this made me think aside from being sports buff, a health conscious person should also be very careful about the products that he or she will use. Chemicals are really harmful to our bodies. The effect could not be seen on the spot but as years go by so we tend to ignore. But if we really love our health and our body, start using organic products.

Healthy Day

I joined some friends this morning in playing badminton. I have not played for so many years so I’m as if new with the game. But I was so glad I joined. I was able to stretch and had an exercise. I’m not a sports buff and a health buff but this time of my life I think, I should be. I’ll admit I’m not getting any younger so I need to stay fit and healthy for my kids.

After playing we went to a nice cafeteria to have some lunch for free care of the one who invited us, hehe. Of course we just did some exercises so we carefully chose what we ate. A friend brought out that she’s even trying some HCG diet recipes at home. She’s a stay at home mom like me by the way, she’s 37 but she really looks young.

I’m glad to have joined good companions. Now, I have some health buff buddies.

Odd as It May.

My twitter is field with shopping tweets and sale announcement everywhere. There’s one that is not yet through with her online shopping and is waiting for Cyber Monday deals to get her digital SLR camera. Wow, I also want that for Christmas. Christmas shopping is really tiring, wallet-draining but exciting, part of this season. We sometimes end up with wallet empty but still happy!

Promises

I enjoy talking to my four year old daughter. She has a lot of stories about her school classmates and she can now tell and express her emotions very well. She says it when she’s annoyed, when she’s confused. She also asks a lot of things, a lot of questions that I deem so important for her to get an answer. One day she’s telling me that she wants to be a mommy like me someday. I was surprised to hear it from her. But I’m happy that she wants to be like me. So we did a little game. I made us wear promise rings (made from yarn thread, hehe) and told her that that would be the symbol of our promises to each other. I promised her that I will be a good mom and a good example to her and in return she promised me that she will be a good and obedient daughter. That was one of the wonderful moments I had with her.

I Want My Receipts to Last

As a budget conscious mom, I find receipts valuable. So whenever I shop or buy something, I see to it that I keep the receipts so when I do my expenses analysis, I have them handy. It’s also important for me the quality of receipts I get because some receipts that are printed on thermal paper don’t last long. It’s not good to keep them, so I have to photocopy them first. I hope that all stores will invest on good receipt printer and paper for moms like me who really keep receipts. :D

Blu-ray Disc

The DVD generation is now phased out. blu ray genre is in. Blu ray is now the new technology in storing, rewriting and recording videos. Unlike DVD, blu ray disk can hold over 9 hours of high-definition (HD) video on a 50GB disc and about 23 hours of standard-definition (SD) video on a 50GB disc. I haven’t seen any blu ray disc yet but I’m hoping to get one because I want to see the difference from the old DVD.

Trying To Get Everything Done

Now that I’m at home most of the time, I can see all the things I want to fix inside the house. As much as possible I want to get the house organize before the year ends so I started buying necessary furniture. Last week, I bought a TV which made the living room look neat and orderly. I also bought the kid’s closet so their room is now, well, more organized than before. After clearing up the clutter, (perhaps with some cabinets) I will then buy some decorative ornaments and stuffs like wall sconces to create a more welcoming ambiance.
