Most often than not, we forget the simplest rule of washing our hands from time to time during the day. Busy as we are with a lot of tasks, we should not fail to keep ourselves aware of what these could do to us. Just days ago Tabby was chatting me about his left eye being all puffy probably caused by allergic reaction of some sort. I told him to observe in the next hours or probably like two to three days before deciding to consult a doctor about it. …

These pictures were of November 19th when our Grandpa Toto and Grandma Pie came to visit family and relatives here in Las Vegas. We all enjoyed a very sumptuous dinner at Buffet @ Asia which happens to be just around the block. And look what we’ve got going. Cousin madness! Emily and Eugene are great kids! See how much fun we had! We actually made ourselves burn all those calories we took in huh?

I haven’t blogged yet about this last photo, but I’m adding it up here. It’s still …

Now I know love isn’t painless. But it’s worth the risk; its worth the fight.
We both know it is.

I just wish we can be together on this special day. Life is indeed worth being with you. Even more than that. And I’m better with someone - I’m better with you. I’m a whole better person with you.
Here’s a song for you, Sweetest. You know I can’t sing! But I do dedicate this one for you.

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I …

Two years gone by,
How time has flown,
We can’t believe
how EA’s grown!
She’s such a joy
and much fun too,
Oh my! Ann, your baby’s
turning TWO!

It’s Erin Alijah’s 2nd birthday today! Why don’t you drop her a line or two, or perhaps the full Happy Birthday song plus a sweet hug too!

It seems like it was just yesterday that she had her first birthday. From Tito Tabby, Tita Danica, and Yzzy - we wish you a very happy birthday! Have a blast at your party later!

Daddy arrived home finding a very noisy toddler today! Look how she makes gibberish sounds. Apuchi Puchi Puch! I don’t know if I got that right but that’s how it sounded like. I miss you little icay!

A rule of thumb: Less is more. The less a toy does, the more opportunity a child has to create and learn from it. Simple toys are easier for children to use, require less supervision and last longer.

1. SAFETY FIRST
Toys should match a child’s developmental level and age and should not contain unsafe, toxic or flammable materials, sharp corners or small, detachable parts. They should also be clean.

2. DURABILITY
To survive a child’s repeated handling, a toy must be made of sturdy, reliable materials.

3. EASY TO USE
A child must be able …

Our first few days left all by ourselves were more of happiness that haven’t sank in yet. Overwhelming. We were also enthusiastic enough to walk to church which was two blocks from our place. Too bad the chapel was closed. That is what it is here, the have schedules on which hours they will have their doors open to the Catholic community to attend mass. Instead of heading straight home, we managed to take pictures of ourselves and ofcourse - the mass schedule so next time we head off, we …

At times when you think there’s nothing else you can do, a tiny light magically presents itself and turns things for the better.

So that was all I need. A very deep heart to heart talk with my God’s Gift. And I tell myself, why can I be stupid not to find the answer when it is (or he is) right in front of me - through the webcam that is. I know I have been on my very unlikely self lately. It seldom comes out you know. And having that …

I bought a Hoops and Yoyo Birthday card two weeks before her birthday. I mailed it the next day hoping it will arrive around the Christmas season if not on the exact 18th. I was surprised to hear that it just arrived two days ago! Hahaha. Nevertheless, I wasn’t that disappointed. Why? Because my little girl adored it. Look at her! Smiling so much hearing all those:
“Happy Birthday!!!!”
“You missed it!!!”
“I missed what???!!”
“Hahaha! You missed the brithday!”
“Oh no, no, no, no, no!”

Its  card that says loud crazy greetings when you open …

I have been learning how to drive lately. I passed my automated driving test exam, and now I’m up to the road test. After passing that, it will just be a matter of time ’til I get my own car and be on the road. But as a woman, it can be frustrating sometimes to have such vehicle problems. But wait, Los Angeles Auto Repair, as I’ve researched on is actually a good find. You can let your hand do the talking! Search through their wide geographies and estimates you …

Surprise! Here you go Sweetest. My desperate attempt to collect and collate my baby pictures with Yzzy’s baby pictures. You need to come up with your version too - once you get out of the very busy schedule you have that is. Oh well, maybe when I go home we could make yours then. I hope this justifies somehow that Yzzy looks like me! I tell you, its Tabby’s eyes that make her look so not-like-me. She is, and always will be a prettier and better version of Mommy.
Be …

Has someone ever told you God answers you?
For a lot of days now I have been giving myself heartaches. Honestly, I am so longing home. I have gone over Yzzy’s pictures for the most number of times than anyone could ever have. And it pains me to just go all through them knowing she’s growing up too fast without me. If you are reading this, and you think this is just nothing - all blabber. Please, spare me from another heartache. You’ll eventually feel how I feel if you ever …

Poor kid, doesn’t know how her mom misses her so badly behind those smiles. I’m just glad she listened to me when I told her she needs to be strong for me. And that she needs to smile a lot for me not to worry about her. And that she’ll be a good girl so Daddy won’t have any problems with her while I’m away. I can just imagine how strong my daughter is. Isn’t she? She’s just a kid but for me as a mom she is doing wonders. …

…How can the place you so long for be such a nightmare? I have been getting a lot of comments and chats asking me of how I am here. Its just too hard to explain. To shell of yet no one can ever feel what it feels like. I just want to find zen and peace right now. Total silence.

Look how my baby has grown already! She’s a toddler now. She’s pretty much doing great on learning how to walk, and socializing too. She even improves everyday with her “unknown” language. She’s quite noisy really. But she does know how to point out Mommy in the big computer screen when I initiate a video call. She really is big now. I could use a penny laine baby book now that I have so much pictures of her. I do know that I still have to make her a baby …

Wondering who our Mama is?
Well, she’s my mom’s mother, my grandmother, and Yzzy’s great grandmother. But we all call her Mama. Everyone does so.

She has been there to take care for me and my siblings way back years ago. And she did a good job helping my mom raise us all. Four kids - that is a lot. We were naughty but nice during those days. We would all run to Mama (and literally hide through her skirt) when Mommy is mad ) (and bringing the belt!) at us for …

Spare me the counting part but I do know that I have been here for three months and two days. I just wanna make it a hundred. Yeah, I don’t know basically what to write about. How am I? Oh, haven’t really touched on that yet since I get the chance of talking to my Sweetest mostly everyday to keep us both sane. Everyday is just like every other days. Nothing much. Nothing more. Just me and the laptop and the world wide web tours I do for almost the …

There’s more to this video for me than just plain SEO marketing. I was smiling all throughout the duration of this video! I was like picturing my Tabby and Yzzy one day. Only heaven knows, right? I mean, Yzzy is a year old but then, sooner or later she’s going to appreciate and look up to her dad. And for sure, she’ll be doing things to let the whole world wide web know and be recognized as an expert in a very dynamic and creative field - SEO that is. …

This is a late post. Actual date of this event was November 12, 2009 - When Auntie Glenda and her friend Jenny had a vacation here in Las Vegas.
I want to share to you all my M & M’s World experience. It was like waking up in a chocolate colored world - four floors of chocolate heaven, it is.
With your first steps you’ll immediately feel the energy of their bright colors and lively music. On the first floor, you can choose from a variety customize charms, pendants, souvenir cups, plates, …

It’s been a while since I’ve updated my Plurk account. Got too busy and bored (yes I mean both!) to do something that involved opening a social media site. So here’s my very “Yzzy” theme.. This will surely make my background image unique! *wink*

Its been 3 months now since we arrived and we still are unemployed. Most job openings are in the medical assistant field. It is in fact one of the many fast growing occupations all over the globe. The question there is for us to think is - What is a medical assistant? What does medical assistants do?
The reimbursement problems with insurance companies over the past decades has left one option for the physicians to do. And that is to reduce their staff. In many offices, nurses get eliminated all together. …

Meet Tabby’s only sister and Yzzy’s Aunt. We’re glad she’s spending time with Yzzy before she leaves. Cheers to a good life ahead of you, it is never too late to catch up on missed chances. Sometimes life gives you a lot of things to think about but hey, they were only made to make you see a different side of life. Not just those you want to see. Something to be thankful for, and yet a challenge to become a much much better person. No matter how you …

What a perfect cool day to head off to one of the country’s known tourist (and locals alike) destination. The snow-capped mountain is about 30-mile drive from where we reside. We got up early and hit the road by 7AM. We got there in an hour or so, it was indeed a breathtaking view seeing the mountains and trees from being 8000 ft. above ground. It was like seeing a view from a movie like my favorite Lord of the Rings where you see great vast lands. I …

The first second, first minute, first hour of 2010 is celebrated with my family and my first degree cousins! HAHA! Hurray! We were all so noisy and excited to see everyone united in one conference… ^^

Here’s Tabby and Yzzy greeting Auntie Mendeth and Nikko. Nice bonnet you have there Yzzy! Baby in red for 2010!

Now here’s Hresil:

Now here’s a toast to a successful year!

Auntie Joy is multi-tasking here! Eating and typing! Hahaha.

Look at my little one! Loves to join in the fun!

Smile …

Whoa! I’m so blank for words yet I have a lot to thank God for. 2009 wasn’t really a very very happy one yet it is indeed meaningful and full of heartfelt sacrifices and ofcourse, triumph. 2009, the year that was. In fact, it is the year we got to experience some once in a lifetime (I hope) experiences - typhoon Ketsana “Ondoy” and the heavy rains of typhoon Parma “Pepeng”. Who could ever forget the cause of the triggering massive flooding and landslides …
