SIGH!

I am beginning to think that he is seriously in financial turmoil. I planned to withdraw, but I realized that perhaps everything is just a set up. A lie. Perhaps, they are doing everything to do away with obligations being paid, responsibilities be fulfilled.

The matter is all about MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!! Can't they ever be challenged by some other matters? Whew.. What a family they are... They suck each others' poop just to get MONEY.. Not a good way to raise kids...

home lighting

I am not so keen with regards to home lighting. But one thing is for sure, home lighting helps much in setting the mood in every room in the house. Take for example a cute dimmer in the bedroom. Let's say fro example, that which looks like stars and moon for the kids... Or take something in their favorite cartoon character... That helps them sleep better without fear of the dark...

Lighting varies as with how it will be used. Take for example reading lamps. One will need something sturdy. A clear light that will not flicker nor lose its translucent luminescence while it is being used. And of course, for couples, who could resist a pink glow in the dark, lol.. Seriously, I always wondered why pink light glowing in a dark room is much more romantic than all other hues... Hmm, I guess that is just me.. Anyway, if you are in need of lighting, visit the site where I saw a very unique lamp that tickles my fancy. That is www.lightingsale.com, and below is the lamp I am dying to have...

Lovely isn't it? Well, that is what I wish to get this Christmas... Santa???? Hope you are listening, lol...

STAY MY BABY...

The first time I heard my four year old singing this song while a video was shown at Nick, I was shocked. Why? Well, do check out the lyrics:

Summerlove isn't meant to be
And it's only fantasy
That's what everyone's telling me
Stay my baby

Even though it's a little rushed
Let me know that you'll keep in touch
If you don't it'll hurt too much
Stay my baby

Oohooh Tell me right now
Oohooh How it's going down

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
I know that it will go my way
If you stay my baby (stay my baby)
I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna have enough
So now 'til forever
Stay my baby (stay my baby)

Now that I've gone back to school
All I do is think of you
Sitting up here in my room
Going crazy

But then you call
Gets me through it all
Every time I hear you say
Stay my baby

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
I know that it will go my way
If you stay my baby (stay my baby)
I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna have enough
So now 'til forever
Stay my baby (stay my baby)

Stay my baby -- Stay my baby (Ohoh ohoh)
Stay my baby -- Stay my baby

Tell me right now
How it's going down

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
I know that it will go my way
If you stay my baby (stay my baby)
I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna have enough
So now 'til forever
Stay my baby (stay my baby)

Stay my baby (Stay my baby)
Stay my baby (Stay my baby)
Stay my baby
No, I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna have enough
So now 'til forever
Stay my baby
Stay my baby


And the video below:



Well, what do you think? Is it fit for a four year old? At first she memorizes Barbie's If You Love Me For Me, now, STAY MY BABY? OMG!!!

On the contrary, I must admit that I feel proud listening to her sing the song like a grown child.. Oh, not so soon Lili.. Mommy will miss her baby...

Car Society

My brother was approached recently by someone who says that he is a member of the Volks Wagen Society of Cagayan de Oro City. My mom was telling us that my brother is interested to join the said association.

One cannot believe that "The Turle", or the "The Bug" has this reputation that even if it is already old, people still adore it to the point of even creating an organization to honor the said vehicle. What about the chevy camaro, or the mercedes benz g-class? How come there is no such organization for the said vehicles? The ford expedition is also a very good vehicle. But why is it not the focus of car associations? My mother was excited when she was telling us that the Volks Wagen Society was even campaigning for Volks Wagen to be on the streets again... Wow. That is truly amazing. Don't you think so? I guess I need more info about this so guys, keep posted as I will be adding more information to this post.

Speaking of cars, I saw a great deal at www.thecarconnection.com, while I was surfing the net this evening. I wonder how it feels to have driven America's newest pony car, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro... The Car Connection team have driven, compared and compiled competitive write-ups on the Chevy Camaro and developed a comprehensive review at the site mentioned. It's like seeing the wondrous adventure in their eyes... Ah.. I wonder if they'd be interested in organizing a car society for the Chevrolet Camaro to this effect... Hmm.. I wonder...

debt management before the new year

Have your ever wondered why some people would love to resolve problems before the New Year comes? Well, as I listened intently to my elders, I learned that if all financial problems will be resolved before the New Year, then one will go through the New Year with smooth sailing finances. At least that is what they try to instill in us. And quite frankly, I kind of agree that if we finish a debt this year, then we will have less worry in the next. But with this high tech age, it is best that we consult experts, and with this in mind, I am sharing the site I have just visited for this purpose, that's www.debtmanagementgroup.org. I am happy to have learned a few deals here and there that I may be able to use in my financial journey.

The site is best when you are thinking of consolidating a loan. That is actually a good deal if you do that. At least you will only need to think about one instead if the many different loans you have. With the site I mentioned, you talk to a non-profit credit counselor who can help you understand exactly how much non-secure debt you are in. Mapping your problem is perhaps the best way to get a better view of it. And by Non-secure debt, it means, Credit Card Loans, Medical Bills, Student Loans and Payday Loans. And I guess there is more, depending on what you have.

Anyway, if you are able to have this done before the New Year, everything will work out better financially..

Special Education Expo

Sped Expo Online Poster

I read about this at Mommy Chris' site, and I couldn't help but repost this for my readers here. This is about the Special Education Expo, which will be held on December 1, 2009 at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City. The entrance fee to the event is PHP50.00. And 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the event's chosen charity, Support and Empower Abused Deaf Children (SEADC). Operating Hours will be from 10 AM – 8 PM. This is a one day event only.

If only I am in Manila, I shall also be there tomorrow...

Poster Display Stands

Right now, I will be busy promoting and soliciting support for VDAY 2010. And although our show is yet in March of 2010, I can't help but think of Poster Display Stands that would be placed at Rodelsa Hall. In the previous VDAY Campaigns, we have missed to include that and I realize during VDAY 2008, that it is indeed very important. Funny how we can fill the entire city with our posters, yet miss to place one during the event. Ahh.. That is about to change.

Anyway, I saw this site, www.lavi.com, and they have a good poster display stand at a very reasonable price. I was thinking of something similar.. I wonder where we can get one here in CDO.. Ha! So I wouldn't forget, I wrote it down. This old lady needs to remember so many things, so bear with me on that one..

Hmm.. I have so many things on my checklist. Good that there are a lot of ways we can do many things at once with the help of technology and all.. But nothing beats the good old poster display stand in terms of a solid visible campaign. It'll be the first the theater goers will see when they arrive, and the last they will notice, as they leave..

It should really make a statement also!

uhm..

The STALKER visited my site again... Well, I am glad she was able to read my post about her.. Maybe this time she will stop whatever she will be doing.. Or whatever it is that she is brewing.. I hope she will simple stop. Because she is just wasting her time... She's actually a closed book already, but when I saw traces of her visit and the logs on the posts she has read, I can't help but blog about it here.. She visiting me now in another blog.. I wonder why she isn't coming here anymore.. hahaha.. As if it matters.. Anyway, I am just glad that she is one of my readers.. She is actually helping me with my stats, lol..

GLOO ANYONE?

Hey guys, have you heard about Gloo? Do you know what Gloo is? Hehehe.. eyebrows raising? Well, Gloo is an online scrapbook collaboration website, which allows users to doodle and write things on a canvas in real time. It's not a social network but a platform you can use side by side with your jobs, careers or even in managing a home. You can use it as a scrapbook to keep most relatives informed of the family's activities, or a business page where you can set up group meetings, or a place for parents to interact with their kids and family from abroad, or even for your peers as a message board. This is a great help for planning events, and also as a collaboration tool for business meetings, collaboration board for school meetings or even for organizing an event. And I think, for those who have sickly relatives, this can also be used to see health developments, or even weight loss charts. What do you think? Anyway, it is more advanced than our regular social media site, but is incomparable with them. So you couldn't say that trying it would be the same as building your account at Sandbox or Facebook, Multiply or Twitter, because it is way too different. I should know, I have just created an account at Gloo (big grin!). My cousins and I are actually using Gloo in planning for our upcoming Christmas Party... With the distance and all, we are able to save time and load, at the same time, we are already able to exchange ideas through Gloo... Below is how it looks now.


Now here's great news for all users of Globe Broadband, or if you have not, then, subscribe today and get an all-access pass to Gloo. If you need more answers for your questions, then Inquire about Gloo to know more..

TYPHOON URDUJA

Last year, Cagayan de Oro was hit hard by the Typhoon and the twisters that came along, causing a lot of people homeless and grief stricken. Since last week and this week, the rain has never stopped pouring. The relatives we helped last year have also moved out of their homes already to seek shelter somewhere else, for fear that the river may rise higher again... Yes, there is still flooding this year, and some houses that have been swept away by the flood currents, but what I specifically hate is that, the weather itself has been making many people sick.. In the house, all of us are on medication for serious colds and dry cough. I have had flu since the weekend and the kiddies are also feverish since last week.. To combat these symptoms, we have our regular medications plus FERN-C, ASCOF (LAGUNDI) and lots of water... Not to mention, Manang Vellie, the traditional Massage Therapist we hired..

Today, classes for the kiddies and at Lourdes was canceled, so my sister and the kiddies were just at home, but I had to go to BSU because our classes there were not called off. On three sections, most of those who were absent experienced flooding.. Tsk.. tsk.. tsk..

I hope the rain will come smiling tomorrow.

Anyway, here's something to think about during the rainy days. Well, I have always thought that one of the best investments in life is our skills and talents. Surely, if we know we have it, we need to hone it and make better what we think is already good. That way, greater rewards await us in the future... And even during the rainy days, we have them to bank on...

Have a happy thanksgiving everyone...

My Christmas Car Wishlist

Christmas is just around the corner. And guess what? I have prepared something really different for my wish list. It is often said that if you make a wish, there is a possibility that it will come true. Well, I am making it a car wish list despite the fact that I do not know how to drive, lol... First on my list is a dodge grand caravan. I want one in color pink. Hot pink, to be exact. That would surely be a sight for eyesore... Next would be a gmc terrain or any car would do so long as it is a ford...

I happen to have browsed the net and when I came upon www.thecarconnection.com, I just saw how nice the cars looked. Makes me want to own one. But since I am not that extravagant nor do I have extra budget, I am wishing them my way, lol.. Well who knows? I may just have a godfather who I have not seen for a long time who won in the Lotto. That would surely make up for all those missed Christmases and birthdays, lol...

Seriously now, at www.thecarconnection.com, anyone with the interest of these cars can afford because they come highly affordable...

Anyone Care for an Electronic Cigarette?


Here's the best option for those who wish to quit smoking. Electronic Cigarettes may be a big help for you. I saw this information at www.smoketip.com and it made me write this post. See, I am tired of reckless smokers smoking like their habits do not affect the people around them. And the worst part of it, is the truth that they do know the consequences of their actions and their habits post high risk to anyone and everyone around them. Gees.. I dunno how many times second hand smoke and third hand hand smoking and their consequences were explained. Fact is, these people find it difficult to quit. And I can't blame them. I just wish they will try harder, or, maybe they should use the electronics cigarettes that I saw at the site I mentioned above. Imagine smoking with No tar or tobacco. So it does not contain chemicals that can be found in traditional cigarettes. Therefore, Cancer is nowhere near this option. In traditional cigarettes, there are at least 60 are known cancer causing carcinogens. With this option, there is no second-hand smoke. Plus it does not leave long-term offensive odors or dangerous toxic residues where third hand smoking consequences are derived. And of course, this new option will not stain teeth yellow or leave offensive smokers breath. The SmokeTip Electronic Cigarette can be used legally almost anywhere and everywhere, where traditional smoking is prohibited. And if you smoke just for the sake of smoking, the new option looks so real, people may not be able to tell the difference between the electronic cigarette and traditional cigarettes.

And here's the economic side of it.
Do you know that you will save 60-75% compared to traditional cigarettes? Yes, that is true. Each advanced SmokeTip Flavor Cartridge is equal to about 1.25 packs of cigarettes. So, if traditional cigarettes give you about 200 "puffs" per pack, SmokeTip cartridges give you about 250. That's 50 more puffs to satisfy your puffing cravings...

SmokeTip cigarettes use a special 3.6V long life lithium battery, and come with 6 atomized cartridges in your choice of Regular (16mg of Nicotine) or Menthol (16mg of Nicotine). Each cartridge is equal to about 1.25 packs of traditional cigarettes.

In addition to Regular & Menthol, there are also many different mild flavors like Cherry, Peach, Apple, Coffee, Chocolate, Almond, Strawberry and Vanilla... The flavored atomized cartridges come in 16mg, 6mg or 0mg of Nicotine. It uses a high quality wall adapter with the USB charger, and will charge SmokeTip in about 2-3 hours. The USB Charger is a very convenient way to keep SmokeTip fully charged, all you have to do is simply plug it into any working USB port and you're ready to go!

So what do you think of this new option? As far as I am concerned, SmokeTip Electronic Cigarettes has no flame, no ash, no danger.

I think it should work fine...

Need To Buy A Yoyo?

I need to buy a yoyo for Lili.. Lately she had been telling me that she needs to practice some more for her to be able to play her yoyo. Of course we bought it at Toy Kingdom, where all kinds of toys could be found. Here in Cagayan de Oro, we could only rely on toy stores for great yoyos since there are no yoyo shops here. Online however, there are a lot of yoyo shops. Take for example www.yoyoshop.co.uk, an online yoyo shop. Actually, Lili's godfather, Cesar, a yoyo master recommended this site, as it is well known for fast delivery and having a great range of yoyos in the UK.


Speaking of which, I am thinking of buying from the site since I know I will be saving a lot because delivery on all orders is FREE... That's what Cesar said, when he bought his yoyos.. This super toy is a perfect Christmas stocking filler. When kids wake up Christmas morning and finds a yoyo in each of their stocking would really be an exciting Christmas, don't you think so?

Gotta end here as I will still be choosing my loot from the yoyo shop mentioned here...

CIAO...

never saw blue.

I always liked the song "never saw blue" below is its lyrics..

Today we took a walk up the street,
We picked a flower and climbed a hill above the lake
Secret thoughts, you said aloud,
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds have blown away
It's hard to say

I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky, around the world
You're giving me all you have and more
No one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now, oh I
I never saw a blue like that

I can't believe
A month ago I was alone
I didn't know you, I've never seen you, or heard your name
And even now, I'm so amazed it's like a dream
It's like a rainbow, it's like the rain
Some things are the way they are and words just can't explain

I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky, around the world
You're giving me all you have and more
No one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now, oh I
I never saw a blue like that before

It feels like now, it feels always,
And it feels like coming home

I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky, around the world
You're giving me all you have and more
No one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now, oh I
I never saw a blue like that before

Oh, oh I, I never saw blue like that

Here is the video...



Of Futons and Sofas..

I can't sleep. It's already 2:41 in the morning, Philippine time. Somehow, I can not imagine what I had seen on the streets today. Well, technically, it was something that we shouldn't be seeing but for the sake of argument, I wish to say that it shouldn't be a scene to behold. Especially not with kids as young as 4-5 years old. Well, I saw this house at Manggahan which is widely open to the public by the mere fact that it isn't finished yet. However, there is already a couple occupying the said space. The visible part of the house seemed like the living room as futons are everywhere. Two beige colored sofa sleeper futons were even visible from afar. But what I really hated to see was the couple coupling on the sleeper sofas in broad daylight, with the neighbors' children watching them. They could have moved it inside their bedroom and did the act there.


My point is, children who see these things are robbed of their innocence. Why not get convertible sofas, put them in the bedroom, and do the coupling stints there. If they want it more romantic, they can have futon sleeper sofas in their bedroom and add lighting, air conditioning and music... Wouldn't that make a good coupling environment? But no! They just had to flaunt it to the KIDS!.. Bad neighbors! Tsk.. Tsk.. Tsk...


MEDICINAL WONDERS OF ASH??


The adventist guys sold us this book a few years ago. Then years after we bought the book, my mom bought packed charcoal form teh same adventist people who sold her the book.

It says that charcoal has medicinal properties that can heal any ailments...


I still need to meet someone who really was cured because of this and not because of some act of faith... Well, it's not that I question these things, but, I just want to meet someone who is living proof to all these miracles brought by the use of charcoal...
