So Chic and Stylish Animal Print Sunglasses

Sweetiepie — Mon, 14 May 2012 19:11:35 +0000

I so loved my second pair animal print Firmoo Glasses. It fits perfect and I just love the chic look and of course very stylish. I’m so happy with my order because I have the two pairs to switch around that I could wear anytime we go out with the sun being so bright. It’s hard to see with the glare is upon on you, so wearing sunglasses it helps a lot. The good thing is the sunglasses that I ordered it goes with everything I wear. Very chic and fashionable looking. And the best of it all, this is very affordable!

More and More Messed In the House!

Yep, that’s miss A been doing these days. I could never put anything in the floor anymore because the little one definitely going to grab it. No things on any reachable areas in the house anymore because she would either make mess or chew anything she can get a hold of. There were times that she is so hyper that she won’t even take nap at all. I guess is just part of growing. So I take it as a surprise everyday with my infant daughter. She is so cute though every time I caught her doing something messy. For some reason she just like playing in this corner part of the house.

Textbook Rentals For College Students!

Sweetiepie — Sun, 13 May 2012 23:42:26 +0000

My sister went to a nursing school for (5) years, and I can honestly say that it was really hard on us [financially]. No regrets though. I know it was the best decision we ever made for putting her into college because we know that she’ll have a brighter future than a lot of people. If we’ve known the textbook rentals before, we definitely going to do it because that would saved us a fortune from buying so many books for (5) long years. But too late for that because she is already finished a year ago. However, to all college students out there, if you can’t afford to buy brand new books, no worries, because there are certain website companies where you can rent textbooks at any time.

Even if you are a law students, you can absolutely rent the books for Law for Business 17 edition by Ashcroft. The great news is, you can save 40-90% off of bookstore prices.

Chair Pads and Seat Cushions Are the Best!

Sweetiepie — Tue, 08 May 2012 06:42:14 +0000

It’s about time to buy some new chair pads in our chair at the dinning because the old ones are worn out already and it is badly needed to replace them. We don’t like sitting on the hardwood that’s why we always put chair pads or cushions on our chairs in the dinning area. It is more comfortable that way though. That becomes a habit that is really hard to break that you don’t want to sit on a chair without anything on it. Even my family back home they are the same, they do use chair pads. I guess everyone love to sit on something soft eh? I won’t blame them because they just want to feel comfortable as much as we do here.

She Was Concentrating and So Serious!

Sweetiepie — Mon, 07 May 2012 05:49:47 +0000

You bet, she was really serious in this one. She loves this educational toy because it plays different music, numbers and letters. She just simply love listening the sounds of it. Although she won’t understand any of it yet as she is still very little, but it occupied her and it makes her very happy to hear the sounds. I’m so glad that I bought it because it help her not to be so whiny compared the first week we arrived here. How I wish the other kids are here so she won’t feel so lonely and have somebody to play with . She was so used to them since birth and I think she misses her siblings. Thankfully, toys can keep her entertain right now and she doesn’t fuss as much anymore. That’s a good sign.

Traffic Cones For Safety Purposes

Sweetiepie — Sun, 06 May 2012 16:53:15 +0000

I used to love driving, but since I had that horrible wreck couple years ago, I totally lost my confidence of driving. Traffic it gets in my nerves these days, and plus the road constructions in the area, is not making any easier for me at all. It just amazed me how people in this state could drive like there is nobody else in the road. I just hate the way they drive. And some people don’t even care if there is a road constructions sign in the other ends.

I’ve seen so many of them that would just run over the traffic cones that has been putting in the area for safety purposes. They are just plain careless and that is so wrong. I am not the best driver myself, but at least I have enough sense not to run over anybody or anything most especially in the road working zone.

Oh well, it’s their choice to drive like crazy right? But it is very scary. Always expect for the worse and hope for the best, I guess!

Pretty Cool Garage Built With Steel Buildings

Sweetiepie — Sat, 05 May 2012 16:33:31 +0000

We had been so busy over the last several days looking for houses in the countryside as we preferred to live in a small town because is more quieter and less traffic. As we were driving around I’ve noticed that there are so many big houses that has an extension garage built with steel buildings in the side or in the back of their houses.

It just amazes me though how some people could owned so many vehicles or any other means of transportation in one household. And I’d noticed it too that some people park their RV, boat or car in those extension garage that we saw. That it is really cool to do that to keep everything inside the garage, that way you don’t have to worry if the bad weather comes.

The house that we really liked though it has a huge garage and driveway, so even if we brought the other (3) kids over, it still have a huge space which means we don’t have to worry of building an extension garage. Unless maybe if we decided to buy an RV someday, that might be case then that we have to do something where to park it, but that is not really in the list at the moment.

My Little Traveler Companion!

Sweetiepie — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:32:07 +0000

My little traveler!

She did great most part of our travel home. I was so glad that she slept through it as I was so exhausted and needed some rest as well. Although there were some turbulence during the flight but I think it didn’t really bother her much knowing that I was holding her. The picture attached was taken during our flight from Singapore to Tokyo. She was sound asleep in her own seat. The flight was wide open so we occupied one row in the back and laid her down. It was a pretty sweet flight actually because I was also able to put my feet up to ensure she won’t fall even though her seat-belt was fasten. She was in her seat just like a real traveler, don’t you think?

Our Journey Home Experienced!

Sweetiepie — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:54:22 +0000

At last we are home since last Thursday. Well, I tell you how our journey went. It was not so bad but it was not so great either. Traveling with an infant it sure does not so easy especially when the baby is not fully in good condition, is the worst time to travel I tell you. The flight from Manila to Singapore wasn’t so bad because it was only less than four hours and baby girl slept half of the trip, and plus I got helped by a really nice Filipina lady who carried my bag. That was very nice of her for helping me without asking. We arrived in Singapore by midnight, had (6) hours layover, thankful my daughter slept for couple of hours and that give me time to gather all our stuff before our next flight. I can say that Singapore airport is much nicer, cleaned and all airport and airlines stuff were so nice to passengers especially to those who needed help.

Anyway, my main concerned about the whole thing was, my daughter was having a diarrhea so taking more diapers it was much needed. I brought more than (10) in my bag, and I thought I brought enough, but my daughter seems like was really sick so by the time we arrived in Tokyo she was almost out of diapers. It was worrisome and scary situation knowing that we still had a long ways to go before our final destination (LA).

That left me no choice but went into trouble looking for a store where I could buy some diapers inside the airport. I tell you, it was not easy when I had to walked from gate 14 to 57 just to find the stupid drug store the information lady gave me. Not to mention carrying a baby it kind of slowed me down because she is heavy plus my big purse. It wasn’t too bad if I didn’t fell in the floor halfway on our way back to our gate. I was completely exhausted from a very long walked that my legs just give in, and “BANG” I suddenly fell in the floor. The worst thing was, I didn’t got any help at all, airport stuff just stared at us and didn’t do anything if we’re okay. It was the worst experienced that I would never forget. My left shoulder was hurting me so bad that lasted for few days, but I’m so glad the baby didn’t got hurt at all.

In the brighter note though, my daughter slept the entire (8) hours journey bound to LA which is great because I was able to rest as well. She was just sleeping so soundly in my lap. She got her own seat but for some reason she doesn’t want it and slept in my lap instead. I was glad our flight from Tokyo to LA was an easy one even though I didn’t got to freshen up myself. But I guess it doesn’t really matter, people would understand my situation knowing that I was carrying an infant. My bad travel experienced is not going to stop us from traveling in the future though. I will travel again soon with my baby back and forth to Philippines or anywhere in the world.

We Are In A House Hunting

Sweetiepie — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:42:00 +0000

We’ve been looking for houses online for the last few months. But we haven’t look any of them personally yet as I was still in the Philippines and the husband don’t want to do it by himself. So now that I’m home, we are going to look all the houses this week that we like we’ve found online, probably going to start sometime this afternoon.

He want us to go on a house hunting together. That is really sweet and thoughtful of him. I am so excited for us to get a house. I would love to live in a real house again so I could do whatever I want from arranging all the furniture, repainting and decorating the entire house and putting some new drapery fabric on all windows.

I do hope and pray that we will get a new house pretty soon without any problem so we could move in and settled into our new home. My baby girl deserves to have a bedroom of her own with my own choosing design [for babies]of course. I have so many things in mind what to do once we get a house. I really can’t wait.
