OH MY BROTHER! WHERE ARE YOU?

At home…
When she was about to go to sleep after she prayed

AJ: Mom, I’ve been praying and praying for a little brother. When is God going to give me my brother?
Mom: I don’t know. You have to pray harder, babe.
AJ: I am! Can you please help me pray, Mom?

Hay! How can I tell her, we’re not ready for another one. Not just yet? Poor little girl!
**************************************************************
We were inside a Family Restroom (It has two rooms for your comfort and it has a separate washing area, changing nappies for babies and it has chairs for some nursing moms.) No one was there when we got in but when we got out, there was this Mom with 2 kids, an older girl and a baby boy. She was changing the baby while AJ and I washed our hands when AJ asked me this:

AJ: Mom, when can I have my baby brother?
Mom: Um!!! (I was lost for words)

The other mom LAUGHED OUT LOUD! Hahaha!!! I know right! Geez si AJ talaga….NAKAKALOKA!


***************************************************************
At home

AJ: You know what Mom?
Mom: What AJ?
AJ: I’m going to name my brother JERICHO and will call him ECHO.
Huwatt again? – hahaha- You don’t even have a brother yet, babe! Geez luis!

***************************************************************
She desperately wants to have a baby brother. Hahaha…obvious ba?

AJ NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME

I was playing SUPER MARIO for the Nintendo DS and I couldn’t get out of one of the stages in there.

Mommy: Ugh!!! This is so FRUSTRATING!
AJ: YOU KNOW WHAT MOM?
Mommy: What?
AJ: When you’re frustrated. This is what you do.
Mommy: Huh! What do I have to do?
AJ: STOP. TAKE A DEEP BREATH, and THINK!

Mommy: Yeah! You’re right! Where did you learn that?
AJ: You know, Joe from BLUES CLUES.

Hahaha….
*****************************************************

FAT Daddy’s RESTAURANT

We frequently eat at this place. We eat here at least once a week and mostly on Fridays or Saturday. When AJ learned that we were going to eat there again, she was like…

AJ: Are we going to eat there again?
Mommy: Yeah!
AJ: I’m so SICK and TIRED of eating there Mom. How about we eat Chinese?
Mommy: Are you kidding me! We just ate there. No! We’re going to eat at Fat Daddy’s
AJ: UGHHHH!!!!


*******************************************************


Or when I play my favorite music inside the car over and over again… I was playing my favorite song I KISS THE GIRL by Katie Perry when all of a sudden…

AJ: OH NO! Not again! Why do you keep playing that music? It’s so ANNOYING!
Mommy: I happen to love this song.
AJ: ANNOYING!

TSK! TSK! TSK! WHERE DID MY SWEET AJ GO? She has turned into something….ahihi…

One afternoon while I was still asleep…..

AJ: Mommy, You’re tummy is GROWLING. Let’s go downstairs. Your TUMMY is hungry. YOUR TUMMY SAID SO! Wakey, wakey, SLEEPY HEAD!

Mommy: Go give Daddy a BIG KISS and a BIG HUG.

Mommy: AJ, what are you doing?
AJ: I was just doing the MONKEY DANCE to CHEER UP DAD.

--- The Best Gift Ever ---


A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car.

Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.

Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" And stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, "And if ye, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?" As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words... PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessing because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for...

With the oil price increase everyone is affected dramatically. But I think there are more than enough ways for most of us to cut back on luxuries and still be able to survive just fine despite the high gas prices. Here are just some tips:

When you go grocery shopping go for sales and then stock up for future use, especially the ones that you use or eat all the times. Sometimes my husband wonders what the heck those are for. He feels like I’m panic buying ha-ha… little did he know I’m helping with the budget, although, he thinks of me as the greatest spender of the family.

Just stocked up on Bath and Body products since they’re having their semi annual sale right now. Great for future gifts to teachers, friends, co workers or just anyone. There is always something for everyone. Don’t you worry they wont expire soon. Yeah, I asked.

Skip the waiting lines at Outback Steakhouse and the Cheesecake Factory. How about we stay home to eat and challenge ourselves to cook food that is less than 10 dollars but still feels like you dined out. Just like my favorite cook Rachel Ray, would call it “Fake outs”. Nice isn’t it. Okay! Maybe once or thrice a month you can indulge lets say it’s a treat for working hard.


If you’re like me who loves Starbucks, make a few trips less to Starbucks every week and make coffee at home that should be enough to make up the difference. Don’t ya’h Agree?

Drive less and enjoy walking and car pooling with friends would be good ideas.

Being frugal is one thing, but being cheap is entirely something different entirely.
Vacations are our privilege for working hard and SAVING money to take a special family time. I don’t know about you, but since its Father’s Day, I think Daddy deserves a wonderful treat. So we’re off to Virginia for a Father’s Day Weekend Getaway. TO ALL THE FATHERS, RELAX AND ENJOY! HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO MY DAD AND TO MY LABS AND TO ALL THE FATHERS OUT THERE!

What IRRITATES ME!

So here are the things that irks me:

1. When people leave their shopping carts in the parking lot when in fact they know that there is a proper place for them and its just 10 feet away. Arrrrghhh!
2. People driving on the left lane but super duper slow! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! If cursing could kill. I could’ve been convicted as a Murderer.
3. People who doesn’t know how to use their right and left signal while changing lanes. Gosh! I don’t know how many times I have used my horn because of this SHIT! People are just IGNORANT sometimes.
4. When people put a dent or big scratch on someone’s car intentionally or unintentionally! Does the word BE EXTRA CAREFUL ring a bell? Shucks! People can be just so insensitive. How annoying is that? Hello!
5. A person who turns their volume too loud while driving. What is wrong with these people? Are they deaf? What the heck!
6. HYPOCRITE PEOPLE who flash smiles in their faces and say good things about you in your presence but then talk SHIT behind your back once you’re gone.
7. People who gives you a call only when they need something. USER!
8. When people expect something back for the help they gave out. Never expect to get anything back. A simple Thank You is enough. Case closed!
9. People who IMPOSE!
10. When people don’t flush their FREAKING SHIT! DUGYOT BIG TIME! I really don’t understand this people! Yuck! ARRRgghhh!

I guess Im just tired of other people's never-ending bullshit huh. What do you think? I may not be the nicest person on earth but please COURTESY to others for goodness sake.

Tsk...tsk...tsk....

I was trying my luck with the SINGSTAR for the PS3 while Alvin was trying to figure something out. AJ was bored out of her wits. She’s been waiting for an hour to play tennis with her Daddy so out of boredom she’s been jumping, dancing hula, singing, shouting and laughing so loud that it annoys Dad. On the other hand, I kept pushing Dad because I wanted to sit where he was sitting. So he was like:

Dad: You both are ANNOYING!
Mom: Of course not! We’re your angels, Dad.
AJ: Yeah! We’re your angels, Dad.
Dad: Angels? Angels my A-S-S (didn’t say the word ass but spelled it A S S) He was kidding though. Thinking AJ wouldn’t get it. Wrong! She doesn’t know what it means yet I think she just put it together. We’ve been trying to teach her to read.
AJ: Ass…Ass….

I looked at Dadyy… Hayan pa A-S-S ka pa kasi dyan. Tingnan mo tuloy. Tsk…tsk…tsk…bad Daddy!

Mom: Just one more and then it’s your turn ok, AJ.
AJ: UGH!!! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!
