There are some men I know who have undergone a surgical procedure called vasectomy. They have their own reasons for doing so. For one, they don’t want to add another child in the family. Instead of the wife taking pills or having themselves ligated, the husbands opt for vasectomy instead. One reason can also be that the wives do not want their husbands to have children outside the marriage. At one point, I thought of that. But I never had the courage to tell the husband. Am I being selfish for thinking about those things? But lately though it was the husband who suggested that he can undergo that procedure. He was thinking about my health more than anything else. He is scared because I have been on pill for so long already. Oh maybe he can now. There is always vasectomy reversal anyways, that is if he still wants to father a child. There are other men who do not want to undergo vasectomy thinking it is permanent. I had that notion too until I heard it first from a friend that it can be reversed. So when I got home I immediately searched for it over the internet. Contrary to what I heard, vasectomy reversal is not as expensive. I have to share this to a friend of mine, I don’t think he knows that there is vasectomy reversal. He’s got a new wife and it would be wonderful for them to have kids of their own. Or maybe if the husband suggests once again that he wants to undergo the procedure, I will not have second thoughts anymore.
Much as I don’t want to I actually have no choice. I am talking about the College Entrance Review of my daughter. Yep she’s going to review twice, the first one with LSC which is the school’s choice (yeah the school has a say on where we want our children to enroll, or should I say they were the ones who picked the review school for our kids). Since when did this happen? Only if you enroll your kids to this school. Quite authoritarian eh, we don’t have a choice but to follow because they said they will not release the report cards. Since when is college entrance review compulsory? During my time we didn’t have that, or if ever there was, it was the parents who decides whether they want their kids to attend or not. Oh goodness I can rant over and over again, but I don’t have a CHOICE, the report cards won’t be released plus my kid won’t be admitted for next school year. Yeah HARD! They are! It’s part of the student-parent-school agreement, smart move eh! Boo!
This is such a good news for our numerous clients who have been inquiring about transferring an 8mm film to DVD. I myself is in need of this too. We have a lot of video cassette (video 8 format) taken of the kids when they were growing up. I need to transfer it to DVD before my daughter turns 18, and it’s just 3 years away. I have been scouting for someone to do this for us but in vain. Good thing I came across this website that transfers 8mm film to DVD, problem solved for me! It’s really nice to preserve family memories and it’s even more wonderful if you spend time viewing this together. I have a lot of video to show on my daughter’s debut. I know that is still 3 years away, but I’ve got to prepare. I have kept all the video I took of her, some embarrassing, some not, but all are beautiful memories. I just need film transfer so everything will turn out ok. Oh did you know that once they get to transfer it to today’s format, the original clarity is restored, or it can even get better. Yeah technology nowadays is pretty awesome. I think everything is possible now. Don’t let those memories remain untouched, when you can preserve memories for a lifetime. Find ways on how one can do it. If you have something that needs to be converted, now is your chance.
Bulaklak : yan ang pinaka paborito kong subject…andami sa flickr account ko. Maswerte ako dahil sa yard lang ng Nanay ko ang daming litrato ko nang makukuha, in fact karamihan ng mga kuha ng bulaklak sa flickr account ko eh sa bahay ng Nanay ko. Nakakatuwang tignan ang mga bulaklak lalo na pag sabay sabay itong in full bloom. Di ko alam kung anong kulay ang una kong kuhanan. Sari saring posisyon na din ang aking naranasan para lang makakuha ng magandang anggulo.
Nakakatuwa ang bulaklak na ito, kakaiba ang kanyang itsura, ang ganda pa ng kulay. Di ko nga lang alam ang pangalan.
Aba parang na she loves me, she loves me not ang bulaklak na ito. Bakit nga ba nakulangan ng petals ito, sadya bang ganito o sinadya? Uy wala akong kinalaman dyan ha, basta nakita ko nalang na kulang yan.
Ang rosas bow! Parang ito yata ang universal flower ng mga lalaking nanliligaw. Parang lahat ng mga bulaklak na natanggap ko ay rosas, iba’t-ibang kulay nga lang. Uy dati yun ha, nung wala pa akong asawa, hehe nililinaw ko lang.
Am I? Really? Oh that’s what my cousin Marie thinks of me. As she puts it… “a dedicated wife to N, mother to Patricia and Joshua, a great cook, multi-talented homebuddy but one who still finds time for her friends, a great loving and generous friend to me.”
Being a wife and Mom combined is kinda hard. The demands are just great that as much as possible we want to do it all. I really salute women who do not have helpers and yet they can seem to get by and even have time for themselves. I salute stay-at-home Moms, they are the real wondah woman that sometimes I can’t imagine how they can manage things and all. My blood boils whenever stay-at-home Moms are belittled. I am a stay-at-home Mom and someone commented that “my intelligence” was put to waste and guess how I answered him… “i married a rich guy.” teehee!…haha serves him right! Hope he realizes that the best job (for a woman) one could have is being a Mother.
Have you noticed that there is something different with the exit signs you see everywhere? I don’t know if you noticed, some of them are already glow in the dark. This is the latest in technology and it makes an exit sign eco-friendly. This is non-electrical and as I’ve said it glows in the dark. This has allowed so many building owners to save on electricity. Those ones who are still using the outdated technology are looking forward to using this new and innovative EXIT SIGNS. This are also favored by a lot of architects nowadays since by using this non-electrical exit signs, it does not get in the way of their aesthetic design. Why do I say this? Well some people do not put certain things because of the appearance of some electrical wires. They consider it as eye sore. Not with the new non-electrical exit signs. Not only do we save on electricity, it does not get in the way when it comes to the design of our buildings too. But really, more than anything else, it’s the great savings that we get. Imagine how much we spend for keeping the exit sign light on 24/7. Have you also thought that you’d be changing bulbs every now and then? What about the cost you pay for those people handling this matter? Think it over!
OMG it’s addicting. This is my second Coastal Scents palette. The first one that I bought was the 88-pc palette which is purely for the eyes. This 78-pc palette has something for the cheeks. Did you know that Coastal Scents is really very affordable? I love it, it’s highly pigmented and the colors stay, of course with the help of a primer. So don’t get surprised if you see me made up all the time, I’m just enjoying my new hobby, which is painting my face.
I am excited! Oh that is an understatement! I’ve been waiting for this time to go on China holidays. I think I mentioned before that I was supposed to go with my cousins and some friends but that didn’t push through. We went to another place instead, yeah Singapore. But this time, looks like it’s gonna push through, well I am keeping my fingers crossed. I’m still waiting for the final date on when the kids’ classes would end so I can already make arrangement for our China tours. My father-in-law suggested that we go on escorted tours because that’s what they had when they went on a China tour a couple of years ago. It makes sense I think since it will be our first time. I don’t want to miss all the important places in history, and all this would only be possible if we join a group or something. Joining a tour group would almost cover it all, says my father-in-law. I guess he is right. Now I’m counting the days, will it be March or April? Will it push through or not? What are the odds? Oh I don’t know, but I have a strong feeling that we will be able to see Beijing and Shanghai…ni hao!
Ano ang pinagsimulan ng ganitong scenario? Alam nating lahat na ito ay nagsimula sa simpleng tipanan or date. Kung ilan, di natin alam. Ang alam ko yung sakin ay limitado lamang ang mga tipanan dahil sa sandali lang naman ako engaged, di man lang inabot ng isang taon, haha. Napakagandang isipin na ang tipanan na ito ay nauwi sa isang panghabang-buhay na pagsasama, eto baga ang pinaka final at ang nagsi-seal sa kanilang makailang beses na tipanan. Naniniwala ako na di dapat magtapos ang tipanan ng magsing-irog pagtapos makasal, ito ay dapat tuloy tuloy para masaya at romantiko ang buhay buhay.
I love it when I learn something new from the internet everyday. I didn’t know that persons who have undergone shoulder surgery normally undergo shoulder pain pump. A shoulder pain pump is done to assist people in their recovery. They say that recovery time is cut to a considerable amount of time without side effects or anything. But recently, studies showed that it has an effect to the cartilage making it deteriorate. This is the reason why some people have been able to get legal compensation for suffering from Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL).
I know you are interested to find out which diet pills really work. With too much pills that has come out in the market lately, it’s really hard to choose which ones really work.

Good thing consumerpricewatch.net has come up with the top 10 most effective diet pills. From here you can get an idea which one really works best.
Parang isa syang bulaklak na hugis puso…pero teka dahon ata ito ah. Oo dahon nga, pero ang nakakapagtaka bakit ito ay nagiging kulay puti? Hindi lahat ng dahon nya ay ganito, ako’y litong litong, ito ba talaga ay isa pang uri ng bulaklak or sya’y dahon. Ah ewan, eto alam ko pusong puso ang dating, yan ang susunod na litratong makikita nyo.
Dalawin at tignan nyo ang ibang lahok ng kapwa ko litratista…click nyo yung button after nito.
I seriously need some garage storage right now. Things are just all over the place and I hate to see clutter…it’s eye sore. I wonder when I will be able to fix this, I hope it would be soon. I don’t want to add more to the mess we have right now.
What’s your idea of Seeing Straight Without Breaking Bank? What comes to mind? If you ask, me I’d say Prescription eyeglasses for only $8! Yeah I am not kidding. Do you think you still need to touch your savings account with what I shared with you? No wonder this company was featured in New York Times. I know you’ll say, Zenni Optical in the New York Times?! Yeah I am a witness since I’ve read it already. It’s in New York Times. Why do you think were they featured? It’s because they have quality prescription glasses at very affordable prices.
Saturday was spent in school again, it’s the 4th PTC. I didn’t like to go really but I have too. I needed to talk to the HS supervisor because of the college entrance review thing. I don’t like to enroll my child to the accredited review center of the school, but more than anything else I’d like to exercise my right as a Mom to choose which review center I’d like my kid to go to. What sucks is that my daughter has to enroll with the school’s reason that I signed the student-school agreement. It’s like I have a choice. But honestly I overlooked that portion, but then again I can’t do anything but sign since my child was already enrolled. I just feel a little bad that just because I can’t let my child join their review, I have to take him out from that school. Isn’t it unfair, in the first place that is not even part of the curriculum, moreso who is the school to decide on what review center is good for my child? Why are they imposing that everyone should undergo this college entrance review? Darn!
I love the hanging chinese lanterns I saw, there were some in the lobby too. Extended Chinese New Year celebration?
We attended a wedding on Sunday. I was one of the principal sponsors. They are the 3rd couple that I stood as “Ninang”. The bride is the daughter of my husband’s trainor in cycling. It was a simple ceremony, and I was deeply touched by the marriage vow of the groom, I was actually short of crying.
That was our weekend…it was fun…hope you had a fun weekend too.
I have just received a text message (sms) from a relative inquiring about web hosting plans. This is very timely because I just came across this website that listed the top web hosting sites. She can actually go through the list and be able to compare. The reviews done are also very helpful in deciding which company to get. There are a lot of web hosts in the market today and sometimes it’s quite hard to make a choice. Good thing there are lists like this, at least we can have an idea which company are really true to their promises. I also like the fact that they provide a list of hosting awards for 2008. This way it will also give us an idea who performed well the past year. These are actually crucial in deciding which host to pick.
It’s been 20 days… of being cig-free that is. It’s still a struggle, but I need to fight it. There were a couple of times that I wanted to give in, but thinking about the number of days I’ve been through without smoking gives me strength. The craving is still strong, but if I will not help myself I won’t be able to quit. It does not help that the hubs is still smoking, but really with God’s grace I am able to pull through the day cig-free.
Nowadays it’s really hard to pick which diet pill really works. It’s like everyone claims that they are the best. Everyone claims that they are number one. Everyone claims that they are the most effective. But do we really know which one of them really works best? I have a solution for that, and this is just my opinion ok? I would rely on reviews, like this weight loss supplement review that I came across. The review is based on a number of factors, safety of the ingredients among others.

A couple of days back, I wrote something about getting our Vaxigrip Flu vaccine. I got all positive responses. Most of those who responded really saw the importance of getting this Flu vaccine every year. If you only know what’s gonna happen if you don’t get this vaccine. Some people I know dismiss it as a simple case of flu. Let me tell you that flu can get deadly. This is totally different from having colds or cough or fever. A lot of complications can stem from this. Before these complications happen, let us do our share. What is a small amount compared to hospital bills? What is a small amount compared to losing someone in the family? You get my point? Do not be like those people who just shrug at the idea of having flu. You do not know what’s going to happen next. It’s not everyday that you are in the pink of health to be able to resist the virus. The only way to avoid getting the flu virus is having yourself vaccinated.
I am so thankful that I really attended the seminar given by sanofi Pasteur. It made me aware of a lot of things, plus the fact that I am now convinced that everyone in my household should get their shots yearly. Let me ask you, ikaw ba ay Bakunado na? (Did you have your flu vaccine already?) Kung hindi ka pa talaga convince na kailangan mo ito taon-taon, basahin mo ang mga nakatalang facts dito sa http://www.bakuna.ph, ewan ko nalang sayo kung di ka pa magpapabakuna. (If you are still not convinced that this should be a yearly thing, please read some facts over at http://www.bakuna.ph. Be informed, be updated, and the most important thing be PROTECTED!
Kinalakihan ko na ang curly tops na yan (iniba na pala nila ang packaging, wala ng papel). Naalala ko nung maliit pa kami, yan parati ang prize ng Nanay ko kapag ka naubos namin ang aming pagkain, o di kaya pag kumain kami ng gulay. Meron pang isang tsokolate na peyborit ko din, pero parang wala na yatang tinda. Eto yung Serg’s Chocolate. Tatlong brands ang premyo naming magkakapatid, isama na natin ang Van Houten. Ina-alternate ng bigay ng aming Nanay yan. Kaya kahit na masuka suka na ako ubusin ang gulay, talagang pinipilit ko dahil lang sa mga tsokolate na iyan.
Ok, fast forward na tayo. Yan ngayon ang isa sa mga peyborit ko, and coated kisses at siempre ang walang kamatayang M&Ms. Kahit na magkasugat sugat ang aking dila, di ko yan titigilan hanggang di nauubos.
I wonder if these people who administer botox got their botox training courses here. You see it’s not a matter of just injecting it but knowing where to inject it in order to achieve the cosmetic effects. It is very important to get proper training in order for you to yield good results. I heard that there are different techniques for each and every cosmetic treatment and this is very important for you to know. Of course we all want to go to doctors with proper training so that whatever we pay for will not put to waste. I’ll be showing you a part of the video of that training course. Yes this video is available for you to purchase at videoshelf.com. Grab and copy now.
My, my! It’s Thursday already? Hmm what did I accomplish so far this week? Root Dye - check! Root Dye - check? What? that’s all I did? Nah, of course I did my normal routine like wake up at 5:30 in the morning to help the kids prepare for school. Then I do my online stuff. I make sure that I finish every assigned task given to me. I drop (entrecard) too or should I say bloghop. I’m now trying to keep in touch and read blogs in my blogroll which I haven’t done in ages. I don’t know what happened to me, probably too much internet work kept me from visiting my fave blogs. I guess we are all guilty of that. Oh I also went to my darling doll’s school to talk to the HS supervisor. She was in a meeting at that time so I was not able to talk to her. The secretary promised that she’ll call me but never did, oh well. This is with regards to the College Entrance Review. IMHO I am to decided whether or not I want my child to enroll in such. It is also my right to choose the Review Center I want my child to enroll in. You get my point now?
We had dinner last night at some fancy restaurant at Dusit. I forgot to take photos, darn me! There were lotsa food (japanese).
I’ll have a long day today. I will tell you about it tomorrow ok?
I bet every watch collector has a Patek Phillipe in his collection. This brand has been here since the eighteen hundreds and I heard that they now dominate the swiss watch industry. I heard too that this is the most sought after watch amongst collectors and there’s this certain collector’s item which is a Patek Phillipe that sold at the highest price ever paid for a watch. Must be an awesome item, something that dates back in the 1800s. Knowing a collector, they would go for the oldest item they could ever find.
We were are the mall again yesterday to watch Ink Heart. I know, we are a family who loves to watch movies really. It’s like we go the the cinema once or twice a week. It’s a family thing to us, yeah maybe you can call it our family bonding. I wish we had this home theater furniture at home so we don’t need to go out anymore just to watch some movies. We have a theater room, but too bad we don’t have the money yet to set it up.
