Got nothing to do today... 2007-09-17 16:40:00 Really boring today.I was waiting for the Reverend(Shady's church today)to come over to discuss about Shiela's baptism.Unfortunately,we only hear from him at 5:00PM that he's afraid he can't come because he's too tied up.Last week,Shady booked for an appointment for Shiela's baptism.The Rev then said accrdg to Shady that he will come to visit us to discuss about the activity.I witnessed how they do the christening so I got nothing to worry about what I am going to do on that day.What I am thinking of now is,the venue and the preparation for his and my friends.I have called my friends Lorina and Marilyn already.These gals are those whom I can consider best friends here in Ireland.Marilyn was the very first Pinay I knew here.It was at the bus stop when she asked me something.It was my first time that time to board on a bus alone.(April 2006).She asked me in Tagalog and I answered,since it sounds obvious for a Cebuana to speak tagalog maybe because of the accent,so I asked where is
Whoaaa,laughter is ban here! 2007-09-15 11:21:00 We were watching X Factor tonight.It makes us laugh the way it is presented and of course the way Simon Cowell comments.We laughed out really loud when,Shiela cries non-stop(bakho jud).She might be afraid or frighten.Just imagine how peaceful the room was then suddenly we burst into laughter
.Hehhe,everytime someone laughs,Shiela cries.What can we do?SO funny that when we want to laugh,we pretend we were talking to Shiela,in that way she will smile back to us.Playing with her,she might perceive it that way.BWAHAHAHa,we are ban from laughing here!Any loud noise is banned!Anyway,it is only Saturdays that there is X Factor,so that means,we only laugh on that day unless there is another program that's so funny.
Green,Green Grass 2007-09-15 11:21:00 This was taken at My Treasured Island,the Olango.I miss that island so much.It is where I lived for 20 years of my life.My native land,oh I miss you!My family is there.No matter how beautiful this place(ireland)is, I wouldn't replace my home land.It is as safe as home(HAHAHA)!You don't need to bother yourself while there,the peace,the laughter,just perfectly the place to live in.How I wish I can go home there soon.Whooaaaa,hope very soon!I am so excited,so as my family too.They are excited to see my daughter for th 1st time.Excited to see me too.It will be two years that they've not seen me.

Mega Meeting 2007-09-15 11:21:00 There are many ways to keep in touch with our love ones today,most especially those who are over thousands of miles away.Web conferencing is one of the ways.With the latest high-technologies,we can't just talk to them but also see them.Though we can not touch them but atleast we feel each other's warmth and presence.Telephone is seldoms in use nowadays.It's really a big difference.I prefer using the internet than squandering my celphone's credit.It only needs me to subscribe to any service providers and I am not billed per minute.Web conferencing is really preferable for business people too.One of the instances is the company I worked before.We dealt with foreign customers and keeping in touch with them is the key role.I talked to them more often so as to keep in detail with their orders.They are very keen to know our product's condition before ordering so I need to snap it and send it thru email.It really takes time.Web conferencing helps a lot.I only need to get a web camera and
Bedding by VisionBedding 2007-09-14 06:13:00 Who do not want their pictures to be displayed around the house?Especially if it is gorgeous,sexy and just so stunning that can make you think,"Oh I am so proud of myself,I can be a model?".Not only your photos but those of your love ones.I myself,love starring at our wedding photos and the family portraits.I have them around the house but not a single one in our bedroom.The reason is,it requires me to hang them so my baby can't reach.She is moving,don't care if it safe,don't know what danger means.A baby,of course.Well,there's another way,as I was browsing, I saw this website that can transform my photos into a blanket,huh!It's called "photo blanket".Teen Girls Bedding
by Vision Bedding transforms your photos into a blanket by dying,How,can be a miracle?Not just that,they as well have products like Teen Girls Bedspreads,dog blanket,cushions,Gift wrappers and etc...visit them so you can see it yourself.Teen Girls Bedding maybe is the one I got to order.Because we dont use bedsprea
Blog promotion 2007-09-12 15:33:00 Have you tried promoting your blogs?Then,get a free monitor for Google ranking software.I did and still looking for more ways to increase my rankings.I am tired sometimes sitting here.My back aches and I think I am straining my eyes.I hope you guys are doing great.Got to rest sometime and forget the whole world,if possible.Can't really imagine how people especially those working on the computer whole day feel?Oh my God,I am glad I am just a housewife,hahaha!I am not just sitting,I am doing everything...good isn't it?
Cough,cough and cough! 2007-09-12 15:33:00 I got this cough for a week now.I did took some medicines that suit me because I have to consider my baby. I am breastfeeding and have to really take extra care about it.I thought of asking my Momma,and she instead told me to treat it via the traditional method,ahem,it doesn't exist here,sorry!Do know you what she'd said?"Palit ug royal,pabuntagi sa gawas nya imna sayo sa buntag"(Buy an orange drink,leave it overnight outside and drink it early in the morning)HUh!.Can you imagine?The purpose of leaving it outside is I think,to get it really cold.That's in Philippines not here.We need heaters,places are cold.Last night was the difficult one.Keep howling,My GOD.My husband blamed me bacause I ate too much nuts and rice.They trigger and even get the cough worst,he said so!I think,it's because the medicine is helping it to become more productive,helping me cough out the phlegm(sorry).I am sure!Today,we went out for shopping.I picked chocolate bars with nuts.He warned me not to bite even
My Fitness Pal 2007-09-10 13:50:00 When I was pregnant,I kept track on my weight,the food I ate and the daily level of activities.I am not used to workout or exercise because it's really a big job for me.But I have to do it that time for the good of my baby's well being and for me just because the doctor said it can help me during labor.Nowadays,I don't think I am doing good to my body.I don't mind what food I am eating.I am gaining too much weight.I can't have my baby as an excuse,that is maybe I am breastfeeding and don't have time to take care of myself,silly me!One of the reasons is,I really don't know how much calorie a day I have to take.That is why I am curious.I got to know the site with a calorie counter.MyFitnessPal is a website that offers a free calorie counter.Not only that,they as well provide information on nutritional facts,dieting tips and recipes.They provide advice on how to achieved your goal whether losing or gaining weight.They will also introduce you your calorie chart.All those 100% free.T

Advantage Auto Quotes 2007-09-07 14:59:00 We'd been thinking of buying a car especially when we go for shopping,that's because of always carrying too heavy loads.My husband says,we can get a car but the problem is having the insurance paid which is very high and they dont even give your money back if you dont have claimed it over years.There are thousands of them out there with different sets of policies and T&Cs that seems too enviting or convincing but the real deal is they have one of the same vision,insurance.And of course,you are confused!What company that gives you what you just wanted.I've browse thru the internet and I've found this Advantage

A housewife' s life 2007-09-05 07:31:00 How boring a housewife's life is,isn't it?All day everyday,the same chores,the same faces you're seeing and the same spot you're sitting!Today,I stayed on bed until 11am.Shady has done everything for me as the continued promise yesterday.He's off for two days.That's why he is taking care of Shiela.He bathe and feed her.As you will see,all my entries are based on my family,just as how my world revolves.I would love to work outside to raise money and help my husband for our expenes,pay a mortgage maybe?hehehe.How I wish we can get it here!

They share a favorite season, and that is good. And their views on children are similar. Overall, Ritchelle and Shady are highly compatible.

I'm missing something 2007-09-04 06:58:00 I've gone through all my posts today upon receiving Anne's comment about the tag board that's missing here.I realized that I've mispelled "the same" to "they same".Oh my GOD!Apologies guys.It is obviously in my welcome address begging for pardon if you find any mistakes, it may in grammar or incorrect usage of a word.It's ashame that until now I am still struggling to construct my English.It makes me feel worthless after spending over 13 years at school.After passing all the English subjects esp the ORal and Communication skills.My teachers gave me high marks in those subjects but I feel I haven't had enough.I asked my husband if I can go to an English school here.huh!I really want to improve my English.

Pinoy beauty salon.... 2007-09-01 07:53:00 I went to a Filipino beauty salon to get my hair cut to get rid of split ends.My friend refered me there since I told her that I want to do it in any shop around.She said it'll cause me a lot of money and they won't get me what I want as they have different style of cutting,you know?Then I remember my sister'n'law telling me to look for any asian shop bec she bet we have the same style(talking about Chinese shop).I asked her if I can have the same extension as she had but she said no,dont destroy your straight hair.I just admire blacks on how they do their thing.Then, I pursued doing it in the Pinoy
shop.I was pleased with the environment because all the beautician there were from Cebu.I felt at home.It's not only that,the good thing is, they are gays.It's fun talking to them. I came there with my daughter because I can't just leave her home,who will look after her?the photos?hehehe.One of the gays was with shiela playing,she's amazed with her curly hair,hmmm.Then they kept as
Life after having a baby... 2007-08-30 06:44:00 I gave birth 8 months ago.Yet,I am still adjusting to a life after having a baby.I used to mind kids before with my siblings and some cousins but this time is different.It is different where you are only asked to look after a kid for few hours.Where you are not responsible for any other basic tasks like feeding,nappy changing,bathing and attending them in the night.I have said I am ready to enter a married life and I know I am well prepared to have a family.Yeah,I am eating my words.It is sometimes tiring minding my baby 24/7. I dont have my "Me time".I dont regret having her(silly me!,why should I?) becuase she's just perfect for me.She's very good especially in the night.It is by these moments that she's starting to crawl.Afraid of me leaving her to her Daddy.She's very much confident to do every step when I am around but when I start to move away from her sight,she yells.She always wants me around.Having a baby with your family and relatives around is perfect.They are there will
OUR LONG DISTANT AFFAIR... 2007-08-28 10:22:00 After 2 years of marriage and 2 years of living apart from each other,we finally have settled and lived together as husband and wife and now a family.It was summer of 2004 when I met my husband.He married me and left me there in my country waiting for my visa to be approved.3 months of waiting,the devastating result came.It was denied.I know GOD has the purpose for me,I mean for us all.I think he doesn't permit me that time becuase I felt not ready yet to leave my country and my family.I still have lot of catching to do with my siblings.I will surely miss them especially the youngest who is attached to me.Everyone of them is my favorite but we all know it's the youngest who will surely be the "center of attraction".There are other reasons of course.I want my parents to be proud.It's because I am the first daughter and they need me to have my married blessed at the altar.We only wed via civil court.I want them to escort me walking on the isle,can u picture that?So then,never mind.If
Mixed marriages... 2007-08-26 16:47:00 I got married about 3 years ago.I am a Catholic but my husband is a Presbyterian.He is from Cameroon and has different culture,tradition and belief.He eats that and I eat this.But,that doesn't mean we can never be united.We got married and wed in my church.We go to each respective churches on Sundays.He is an active member and I am a dedicated worshipper.He never asked me to convert into his religion because he respects my faith nor did I.I sometime attend the mass with him in his church and sometimes he goes with me to my church.That is how we are living.Sounds disturbing but we are not.Now,we have a daughter.He has to exercise his rights as a man and the father of the child.He wants our daughter to be baptised in his church,so I agree.My parents wants me to baptised her in the catholic since it sounds really unusual to them.I have said,Shady is the father and we have to respect him.I once thought maybe we can do that if we can visit there.But,according to the creed,"WE BELIEVE IN ON Read more:Mixed

Shiela's gown 2007-09-24 08:56:00 It takes us the whole afternoon in Jervis to check for the cheapest Christening gown.I checked some of the designer shops online but My God,it ranges from €150.I dont have that money.But if I am not going to mind the price,it's only for a day.Shiela wont wear it again.Then,Prudence,my sister in law asked me if I can meet her because she has seen a gown she likes and can't buy it because she wants to make sure that it fits Shiela to save the journey of going to and from.It's in Blandchardstown,really far from where we lived.There we finally have it.We saved at least up to €40.At least,it's not all that bad.Hehe,it was Prudence who paid everthing,so thank her!There is a tight,then fancy shoe and the prooped panty.Hahha,that panty was just like what I used to wear when I was young.
Yesterday again... 2007-09-22 04:12:00 Yesterday I came home late from a cleaning job.It was a bit exhausting so I didn't managed to log on to the internet.My back was so painful,couldn't stand it.It was my Shady who look after Shiela while Im away.They were just so fine,but Shiela cried upon seeing me,maybe upset leaving her without taking her with me.It was a 5 storey house.My friend Marlin was there before me and she was already doing some of the cleaning on floors from the kitchen(ground floor),then the office on the fifth floor for five hours.What took her time was the going up and down.The lift wasn't working yet so it was really tiring.She was gasping air as she breath.Huhu!The rest of the floors were for me.Hoovering and polishing.This little girl has to do that big job.Just imagine the whole house,5 floors without the lift working,Oh my GOD.Well,I am there for the job so I have to do it.I started with the hoovering.5 bedrooms and about 6 bathrooms.How in heaven they think of living in such huge house?The ground Read more:Yesterday
