Short Cook Order Anyone?
Suddenly the hubs craved for Instant Noodle Soup. We actually haven't had this in ages. Since he opted to stay and work here at home today, that's what I made for him for lunch. I threw in some frozen leftover ham we had from Christmas and added one beaten egg then I put a little drop of Sesame oil to the soup so at least it would taste like homemade. It could have tasted fresher if only I had green onions in hand. Oh well! That's all I had so I worked with everything I had on hands. This brings back memories... I loved eating this stuff when I was in college. I'm sure my brother Rhod would remember. Right,Bro? Hee-he...

Something for little ZOE!
We were invited by my friend for dinner to meet her sister and family who came to visit from Scotland. They have lots of good things to tell about Scotland. They’re encouraging us to visit and said they would love for us to stay with them. What a nice gesture. This would be great for our future plan to visit Europe. At least we won’t need to worry about our accommodation anymore. Right? So we told them that we’ll keep that in mind and we’ll give them a call immediately if we ever decide to do so.
Before they headed back to Scotland, we invited them for a simple brunch at home. My friend’s sister was impressed with my daughter’s bedroom that she asked where I got the bed. So I told her where but unfortunately they only deliver here in United States. She said she would love to get one because she wanted little Zoe out of their room (she’s been sleeping with them since she was born, now she’s three) so they could rekindle the fire if you know what I mean hahaha…. But she doesn’t know where to get it since she’s always busy and never have the time to scout for furniture in their area. She and her husband are preoccupied with too much work because of their growing business. That’s when it hit me and I suggested we go online and check ottoman beds and we found something similar that AJ has. I was so confident she would love this site since I have seen good reviews from their happy costumers and it seems that they never fail to deliver. She seemed happy and said would check the site again when she gets back home to Scotland. She wanted to check the site with little Zoe so the little one could pick whatever she wants since she knows they have something for everyone. She was very happy to learn that they have a wide selection of beds and they even offered 45% off on some of their selected items and free delivery on orders over £499. I was so glad I was able to help her. If you live in the United Kingdom and you are planning to redecorate your room and need a new bed, head on to http://www.time4sleep.co.uk/. They even swear you can have your best nights sleep with their beds. Who wouldn’t want that? Anyways, their collection includes timeless classics, alongside striking new contemporary designs that sure look pretty and comfortable. They always have the latest styles and their prices are unbeatable so you know that you’re getting the value for your money. Should you need any help choosing your dream bed, just give them a call and a member of their team will be more than happy to help you in every step of the way. Happy Hunting!

Holiday Splurges is over HAHA...
Now that the holidays are over, we can all finally relax and continue with our lives without stressing too much. Anyways Christmas has come and go just like that. As usual it was just the three of us again. Hey! I'm not complaining. We actually had a very nice Christmas. I just thought it would have been more nicer if we were able to celebrate it with our family in the Philippines. There's nothing compared to being home. Don't yah agree? Maybe next time. (I'm secretly wishing and so is AJ ahihi...)
NEW YEAR? Now that's a different story.

My THREE'S!
Three things that scare me
1. To go under the knife for Cosmetic Surgery!
I was shock when my friend mentioned that she wanted a breast surgery. You see I was surprised because I don’t think she needs it. She was one of the few lucky girls I know if you know what I mean. Then that’s when she started explaining that she needed a breast reduction because her bust is too big it causes her too much discomfort due to back, shoulder, and neck pain. All the while I thought big bust is always an asset. But I guess, I’m wrong. (Well now I’m enlightened!) Anyways, if you're dissatisfied with your appearance, or have a problem like my friend you may be interested in cosmetic surgery not only to look better, but also to feel better. Try MYA Cosmetic surgery they offer a range of affordable, flexible finance packages to help create the new you if you want a new you. Finding medical procedures at high medical standards and affordable prices should no longer be an issue.
2. Loosing someone I deeply love and care about
3. Freaking Ugly Big Snakes (I’m serious!)
Three things I love
1. Overflowing Blessings From Up Above
2. My daughters funny antics/ Dear hubs endless surprises
3. Spending quality time with family and friends
Three things I hate
1. People who impose/ Inconsiderate/Nosy and User
2. People who gets into my nerve big time
3. MESS!!!
Three things I don’t understand
1. People who dwells on the past (for your sake and mine…get over it)
2. Why some people talk behind your back. Please if you happen to have a problem with me just let me know and stop talking shit. (Sorry I got carried away!) ;)
3. Why some people are jealous of someone else’s success. Why can't you just be happy for them once and for all and start making your own success.
Three things I can do
1. Ignore people that cause me stress and headaches
2. Multi task
3. Skip breakfast and lunch just so I can have uninterrupted sleep. Tsk! I know this is insane!
Three things I’m not good at
1. Not to care at all
2. Organizational Skills! I suck at this big time.
3. Keeping the house clean!
Three things I think you should listen to
1. Gut feeling/Mother/Woman Instinct
2. Advice from Responsible Parents
3. Friends that really do care
How about you? What are your three’s? Care to share? :D

BIG GIRL ROOM
We converted our office to become AJ’s new room since it’s bigger. Then we converted the baby room to be the new office. Anyways, AJ loves Cinderella too much that she wants everything themed to be princess. She was once a princess for Halloween and yes it was Cinderella. We even hired someone to be Cinderella for her 4th birthday party. Her love for Cinderella didn’t stop there. Next thing we knew she was asking for a Cinderella bed she saw from a mail order catalog room for kids. Oh boy! I wanted to convert her crib to a full bed since that was the original plan and the reason we bought it in the first place. But my dear hubby changed his mind and asked me if I wanted to get her a new set. I think he was thinking of using the crib for his next child –nyahaha-. That’s probably why he doesn’t want to use it as a full bed. To cut the story short, yes we got her a new bedroom set with a complete Disney princess bed in a bag, Disney princess rug, and Disney princess decorative pillow. Originally she wanted the Carriage bed but we didn’t think it was practical so we opted for the classic white one so she can still use it when she’s older. We’re just going to replace the beddings if she got tired of it.
We had so much fun doing AJ’s bedroom. She was all smiles when she saw the finished room. I think I was way more excited than she was since it has always been my longest dream to have a room like that when I was a kid. She calls it the big room.

Jewelry Making (My New Hobby)
AJ got her ear pierced when she was about 6 months. From then on I started buying her different kinds of earrings which doesn't come cheap. Even my family and friends started giving it to her on her Birthdays and Christmas or even when they just feel like being generous hihi... Unfortunately, she starts losing them also. It's not so practical to get her another every time she lost one. So I started making my own jewelry and used sterling silver metal with different assortments of genuine stones and swarovski crystals. That is what she's been using ever since. I only let her use the good ones (gold w/ diamonds or pearl) during special occasions. So far she's only lost one. It was the amethyst birthstone earring that I made her. I really don't mind her losing them. I can just make her another one. Problem Solved!

Balikbayan Box
I got a message from my sister-in-law that they already got the “balikbayan” box we sent them last November. Good thing that it got there in time for New Year. She informed me that everyone was happy with their gifts. The hubs and I were so relieved. We were actually thinking of sending them another one next month because they loved the lotions and body sprays we sent. So tomorrow I am going to get the stuff from Victoria’s Secret since they are having their semi-annual sale.
