This is a very interesting tag passed on to me by the Mother of QQ. She wants to know whether I still use a cane to discipline my teenagers.
I remember spanking my kids when they were still young. It’s either using the slippers, a belt or my bare hand. It was mostly my hand that I used though. Nope, I didn’t have second thoughts of using the “rod” especially if they don’t obey orders and rules in the house. Of course I will have to talk to them first and warn them, and if they ignore me, that’s the time I “hit” them. But now that they’ve blossomed into teenagers, it’s pretty hard. All I do is talk to them and if I get frustrated, I shout/scream! After which I ground them for a day, depending on what they did wrong. When my son does something wrong, I keep all his “toys” (laptop, gamecube, ps, ps1, ps2, psp, nintendo wii, nintendo ds and gameboy). As for my daughter I think I will confiscate her cellphone and iPod. In other words, I will take away their “life”.
Now I am asked to tag 5 more and include my answer in the list below.
1. Miche does not spare the rod.
2. Chinnee still spare the rod at this moment.
3. HiPnCooLMoMMa Can’t use the rod at this point
Let me hear how other moms discipline their kids:
Chairman Vanidosa
KC
Rhada
Wenchie
JMom

If you noticed, there’s not much activity happening over here at my dot com. I’m in the process of shifting to another webhost. I’m no longer happy with my existing one, since it’s been down a lot lately. Never mind that I paid my hosting with them until January of next year.
Now I’m looking forward to my new webhost. Their tech support guy Marlon is really a great help. I asked for assistance in the transfer since I am pretty clueless on how to do it. He was able to back up everything and my dot com is working fine over at a temporary site. Nothing was erased thank God. He didn’t give me a full assurance that nothing will be erased but he said he’ll try his best and he did! Thanks Marlon. Now I’m just waiting for the transfer for me to start writing again there. He advised me not to have any writing activity until the effect of the transfer. I hope it won’t take that long ^_^
Update: It did not take that long, goodbye old webhost! Thanks for the help too KC, as usual she is always to my rescue.

Waaaaaahhhhh! I need to put something on my sidebar but I can’t. I can’t find the update button. All I see is “if files were writable then you can edit it”. Oly Guacamole, what’s happening? Please tell me! I did everything from editing the index.php but it did not change. I’m quite frustrated already! I just updated my theme like 3 days ago and it was working fine, now its waaaaahhhhhh! I need your help badly please. Whoever can shed light on this, I’d be very happy and thankful. Please don’t play tricks on me, I’ve been working hard you know, and I don’t have any “brains” left to try and figure out what is wrong!

Today N is celebrating his 42nd birthday. And he got a touching letter from his daughter Ish.
To My Dearest Daddy,
1st of all, Happy Birthday! Thank you for all the things you’ve done for me: for bringing me to this world, for raising me to be what I am now, for teaching me a lot of good things and for being a good father. I know that I hardly show affection w/ hugs and kisses, but it is my pride and joy to tell you how much I love you and Mommy. I guess I am in the phase where we, somewhat get embarrassed by showing affection to our parents, even at home. Once again, Happy Birthday & I love you!
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” - Gal. 6:2
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and He will show you the way.” - Prov. 3:5,6
Your Daughter,
Patricia
He was really excited with the letter he got, and I was excited too. We miss the days that Ish writes us letters. I remember when she first started to learn how to read and write (age 5), she had been writing us short letters. Today she is in school attending a weekend camp but we will fetch her later tonight to celebrate.
No matter how her Dad would deny it, he was teary eyed while reading the letter. I was like how come I didn’t get a letter on my birthday (haha jealous Mom), and N was like, “how come I didn’t get a birthday present?” Haha, this is really funny ^_^
Well I on my part just made a short note, placed it in a red envelope (ang pao) with $ inside, after all I am now a $ earner, bwaaaahhh!

I really like this post I found in the web regarding honoring your pets for eternity. Our pets have been part of our lives and most of us consider them as part of the family already. I just like the idea of writing some of our dearest sentiments regarding our pets to remember them by. By the way, if you can send pictures of your pet’s memorial marker, they have a special gift for you. It’s a pet blanket perfect for your dogs, cats, ferrets or whatever pets you have at home.
There’s also another post I came across still in the same site. This are for Beadaholics. They offer a clearance sale of up to 25 percent off on their already low prices. Hurry because this sale is limited to inventory they have on hand. This is your chance to buy those beads that you have been eyeing but never got to purchase it because of high prices.
If you want to read articles, or find good deals to just about anything, you can visit community.icontact.com.

For an upcoming event, a wedding perhaps, it’s better for you to buy wholesale flowers, rather than buy it from flower shops. You can just maybe hire the services of a florist and just pay for their professional fee. Or you can even do it yourself.

They offer a wide selection of flowers which can be shipped to you from their farms at great prices. Take advantage of this offer now.

Today we went to the mall to have our monthly facial. Yipee, it’s now a regular thing. The same lady did my face, and I really like her a lot. She has a good disposition and a happy aura. Imagine getting a stressout lady, haha, then it’s gonna be my last facial ^_^. Until now I still can’t bear the pain when she starts pricking, but it is compensated by the facial massage she gives me, gosh it’s heavenly, I feel more relax than ever. I had my humungous pimple injected too. This is the first time that I had this, yes it’s really big and kinda swollen. I hope it will be gone by tomorrow, if not I’m gonna have it injected again.

Get to know the person more, who knows you can find your partners and have successful marriages too, just like my cousin and some friends.

I just got back from Subic. Yes, same venue (The Lighthouse) for a pre-nuptial shoot. Nope I didn’t not actually work but N wanted me to tag along, so I did. Well I have another agenda why I came too. I wanted to buy some stuffs at the nearby duty free shops. We didn’t have time shop the last time we were there because of work. And today I thought we won’t make it again to the shops. We got to Subic at around 2:20 and N was in a hurry to go straight to the venue. I was kinda pissed off because part of the reason I joined them was to go and buy stuffs in Duty Free. Good thing it rained a bit and we didn’t have any other choice but to pack up. Well they’ve had enough shots I guess, so we called it a day. We made it to Royal Duty Free and I was able to pick up some stuffs, weeeeee! I’m now happy!

Did you know that we have a lot of options when it comes to long time care for ourselves and for our loved ones? I really like bettercaring.com for the options they provide. They have practically laid out every aspect of long time care, explaining every detail for us to understand and for us to arrive at better decisions in choosing where we want to stay when we’re old and grey. When the time comes that I’m already old and grey and no can take care of me, I’d rather stay in a care home. Not that I cannot take care of myself, but I wouldn’t take a chance. I want somebody in the medical field at least look after me. I like the idea of a 24 hour nursing care, so that if I’m not feeling too well, somebody can see and check on me right away. What about you? Have you chosen a place to stay? If you do not know your options, why don’t you visit bettercaring.com.

Beyonce had her concert here in the Philippines last night. Darn, we were not able to watch. We could have used the Binoculars bought by N. I requested him to buy one for us since we can’t afford to buy front seat tickets to international stars’ concerts. I remember watching Avril’s concert and we could hardly see her. At that time we didn’t have binoculars yet. And it’s just too bad. And now here comes Beyonce’s concert, a binocular, and yet we missed the chance. Oh well, that’s life!
But now I don’t like you to miss the chance of having the binoculars. Please check on wize.com. I really like this site, because you see reviews done by real people for every product they offer. I don’t need to go and check other websites for reviews. Btw, they don’t only sell binoculars, check out their other products, and be able to read reviews and ratings, and of course compare prices. They might have good deals for you, just keep your eyes wide open. Good Luck!

Grrrrr! Grrrrr! I was in the middle of submitting a paid post entry when suddenly my connection goes pppppffffftttt! It sucks big time, it was worth $15. I blamed N for using the telephone, poor him. Fact is there was really a problem with our internet provider. I was hard on him I admit, I was frowning and was not talking to him right because of the missed chance. Good thing N is really patient with me. Funny how we can react to situations like this. But let’s face it, it’s not often that you see a $15 offer, right?
Now my connection is back, and I heard N talking to himself saying something like “Oh I need to behave and just keep quiet.” Hehe, are your husbands as funny and understanding as he is?

If you noticed, the gray is showing and it’s kinda disgusting! It doesn’t look neat! I finally found the time to DIY again ^_^. I’ve been doing my own hair color for quite some time now. Yes I may have some hair disasters, but that does not stop me from DIY stuff. Well aside from the great savings, the salon I go to do not offer ammonia free hair color. I can’t afford to abuse my crowning glory some more, with all the ironing and stuff. Yes, I am successful, no grays anymore. WOOHOO!

I started joining the bandwagon in May signing up with just one company. In July I started going full blast signing up with almost all the companies offering sponsored writing. The reason behind why I joined is because I wanted to earn on my own keep. I just miss having my own moolah, you see I resigned from my job in 1995, a decision I made without really thinking. Not that I regret it, in fact I’m ok with it. It has given me time to take care of the needs of the family.
Now that I earning my own keep, I don’t need to burden my husband into buying me my whims. I can take care of it ^_^. But would you believe the moolah I earned from doing sponsored posts is still intact? I have not thought of anything to buy yet. But I am reserving it for a planned trip to Beijing and Shanghai come March (hubby hasn’t given his go signal yet if I can join my cousins on this trip). Well if not, there is a Gucci sling bag waiting for me at the display window. Maybe I’ll get this as a christmas present for myself.

Just provide them with your thoughts, some reading materials, and instructions on how you want your essay written. At www.custom-writing.org, you can be assured of quality writing sans plagiarism.

Here’s another pretty dress I bought at 168. I am really funny, after declaring that I am a rehabilitated shopaholic, here I am posting my cheap but pretty shopping find. Well I just can’t resist buying this. Imagine at 480 pesos ($11), who wouldn’t be tempted to buy it, right? And it matches the peep toe sent by my sister. Hmmmm come to think of it, maybe that’s the reason why I was lured into buying this dress, there is a pair of peep toe waiting to be matched.

Wahoo! It feels good, I slept for a good 13 hours. This seldom happens as I need to take care of a lot of things. But today, they just allowed me to sleep, probably because I was really dead tired from yesterday’s work (wedding coverage) which was held in Subic. Yes we travelled all the way there leaving Manila at 9 in the morning just to be there for the 5 pm ceremony. Then we headed back to Manila at half past 10 in the evening, I kinda slept in the car coz I got really dizzy, was just too tired.

Ssshh, this is just between you and me. Did you know that I don’t have any idea on how to use a PowerPoint? Yeah shoot me, even my children know how to do it, well it’s because they learn it in school. We didn’t have PowerPoint yet at the time. And I know I’m not the only one who does not know a thing about PowerPoint. Actually it’s not a big problem nowadays, there’s always someone who can do my or your PowerPoint Presentation. So there’s no need to panic. If you have a presentation to be done next week, and you don’t have the time or the knowledge, all you need to do is purchase it from www.masterpapers.com. Easy!

I often hear Josh call/refer to his sister as “boy magnet”. It’s like when I admire Ish with anything, next the words that will come out of Joshua’s mouth would be “boy magnet”. While we were having lunch awhile back I asked him what “boy magnet” means. And he was like, “Duh! Mommy it’s the things that you do that attracts boys. You know, like how you fix your hair, the clothes that you wear.” I suddenly fixed my hair “Isha Style”, then said, like this Josh? Do I qualify? And he was like… “For the love of …Noooooo, you are already married!” Haha, as if I don’t know that. What’s funny, their Dad reacted, saying “No boy magnet for you, you are married.” DUH!
