from 4 to 2 and now 0


I am talking about my Page Rank here. I am really very upset about it. This blog used to have a PR4 and I just found it in my PPP account. I was so happy because I got a lot of opps for this blog and as well as my 2 other blogs because both have a PR of 3. But then, about 2 weeks ago, I suddenly noticed in my PPP account that the PRs for my 3 blogs have all reduced to PR2. I was already upset and only few opps were available for me to grab. And just yesterday, the frustration heightened as all my blogs got a PR of 0. Ohhh my, why is it happening? I read in a post somewhere that I have to remove all the tags with PPP or Sponsored or paid tags because Google is not happy with it. I spent a lot of hours doing it about 2 days ago, and all I got is this, a PR that has gone very bad.

Can anyone tell me why is this happening?Please I need some explanation.

An extended weekend


Hi everyone and happy Monday to all! Hurrah!!my weekend is somewhat extended since I'm not going to work full time today. As usual, I went to my employer's place at 7m and prepared the table for breakfast and made the lunch box for the children. Before I even started making the lunch box, my male employer came down and told me to only prepare the eldest's lunch box because the youngest is sick and has to stay home. So I did, and when they all went down for breakfast, my female employer said that she'll also stay home to take care of the youngest.

I didn't walk the eldest to school today because they woke up a little but late, so her father drove her instead. My female employer says that she'll just call me if she needs some help because she'll be working at home today because she has to finish some projects for the financing of a 1.5 billion NOK company. She worked in one of the biggest banks here in Norway. I also made some tidying up in the house and then afterwards, I already went down to my apartment.

I'll just change the beddings tomorrow and also no washing today, atleast until 3pm because we don't have water in our area from 8:30am to 3pm. There's a leakage in the water pipe and they're going to fix it today. I'm not sure if I saved enough water here in my apartment, but I'll try my best to make it last until 3pm today. I'm not going to drink for 6 hours,hehehe.

Move with Shleppers


Moving to a new place is indeed very tiring. Just like my friend Ate Bren, her family moved temporarily to a neighboring apartment because their apartment floor was damaged by rain water. It was really a burden for them because they have to store most of their things in a large container and transfer some to the new apartment. When their apartment was already done, they finally moved and the process of moving was again another burden. Ate Bren got sick after their moved. She was stressed with all the moving. 2 weekends ago, my friends and I spent the weekend at Ate Bren's place and we helped them in putting their things back. We also moved the gas range from the temporary apartment back to their original place. It was indeed tiring. And the burden of moving to a new place can only be lighten with the help of moving and storage companies which will take care of all the stuff transfer.

If you are living in New York right now and planning to move into a new place, make the move easier by asking help from Shleppers Moving & Storage Co.. They are one of the New York movers who are very willing to help residential and commercial movers in transferring all their things from one place to another. For more information about them, just visit www.shleppers.com.

A weekend in my apartment and missing some activities


I just spent my weekend here in my apartment. I had peace of mind and got plenty of time on my own. But then the downside is that, I miss some activities that I usually attend during weekends.

On Saturday, I finally went to the City and bought a gift for my "alaga" and I also bought some fruits and some things for my apartment. I went out at around 2pm. I was planning to attend the surprise farewell party of one of our SFC sisters who's going to Italy by December. The party starts at 7pm and I was done buying at 4pm. I had 2 heavy bags with me and it was also raining, so I decided to went home to my apartment immediately. So I was not able to attend the party.

And today, I was not also able to attend the 6pm Mass because my host family asked me a week ago to help in the children's party for their eldest daughter and 2 other celebrants. The party started at 4pm´, but we went there at 3:3. I helped in the preparation and in setting the table. There were 20 kids and it was really a chaos ,though fun. All 3 celebrants received gifts from their friends and there was really a lot. I suddenly remember my childhood, everytime I celebrate my birthday, I don't receive any gifts at all. But I was very happy, basta makurusan na akong agtang sa dugo sa manok, perte nang lipaya.hehehe. The party ended at around 6:45pm. My alaga was very happy receiving my gift,I'm glad and she liked it.

More updates later. Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Get an education online


It's really amazing that people can now get an education without commuting to school everyday. And thanks to technology and the wide world web for making online education possible. Though it's still nice to attend the traditional setting of teaching which is the classroom based, but then studying online is an option for busy people, people with physical illness and stay-at-home mothers. I just remember my sister-in-law. MY brother wants to send his wife to college to continue her education, but then they all already have 2 children and it's getting more difficult to his wife to leave the children and let others take care of them. I'm going to tell the young couple about online education and they might consider it as an option in pursuing my sis-in-law's education.

To those of you outthere who are also planning to continue studying or to get another degree online, a lot of online universities and schools are already available. Here's one online university I found in the net that might be the appropriate online university for you. It's capella university. For more details about the university, just click the link.

a very tiring friday


I'm really very tired today, after 5 hours of cleaning without any rest. I walked for 25 minutes to go back here in my apartment and I was also very hungry coz I havn't eaten lunch. I wanted to go to the City and attend the 5pm Mass and go to Ate Bren's place afterwards, but then I'm really very tired as an old cow right now,huhuhu. I'm going to have some rest tonight and then I really have to go to the City tomorrow to buy a gift for my "alaga". She's going to have her birthday party with 2 other kids this Sunday. And I have to go to the party to help. More updates later folks!

Order trophies online


It's really amazing that almost everything can be ordered online these days. How I wish that we had already online stores during my teeage years and it will for sure make the life of the teachers in our school and other people in our village easier.

I can still clearly remember that our high school teachers would take turn in going to the city, which is 4 hours drive with the bus, just to buy stuffs needed for intramurals, graduation and some other activities. The most common thing that the teachers would buy everytime they'll go to the City to but something for the school is trophy. Our school has intrams, pageants and other activities and usually needs trophies for the awarding. If online stores were already during that time, the teachers will surely take the advantage of ordering trophies online. They'll save a lot of time and effort.

If you also need trophies for a special occassion or knows someone who needs one, you can now buy trophies online at www.quicktrophy.com.

a cup of cappuccino and an ill feeling



I'm stil here blogging, but I just recover from the ill feeling that I felt about an hour ago. Due to the cold weather, I got the urge of drinking something hot. I have cappuccino here, so I prepared a cup. However, I already observed before that everytime I drink a cup of coffee or cappuccino, I felt nervous and shaky. I told this experience to one of my Ates and she told me that it's really the usual reaction because it's also her experience and she adviced me to stop drinking coffee or cappuccino.

Before I prepared a cup about an hour ago, I remembered Ate's advice. I was in doubt, but I still tried to test if I'll still feel the same. And true enough, after drinking the cappuccino, I felt nervous and shaky.huhuhuh. I really promise not to drink anymore coz I don't want to have the ill feeling anymore. It's very disturbing.:(

Invest in gold



I suddenly remember my Aunt as I saw the gold bars featured at Monex Precious Metals. When I was still in my high school years, my Aunt was constantly convincing my parents to join their networking group that's buying a gold coin. My aunt has already purchased a gold coin and they have to recruit others to also do the same. She was not able to convince my parents though and I havn't heard about her gold coin up to these days.

A lot of investments are already available today and according to the readings I made, one way of investing is to buy gold. Gold is a unique investment since it is rare, durable and does not wear out or fade. Thus, it can be a smart way of preserving wealth that can be pass from generation to generation. If you are planning to invest in gold, take a look at the different offers of Monex. They have gold coins and gold bullions and other precious metals that you can invest your money in.

Just done cleaning


I just arrived here in my apartment a while ago. I'm just done cleaning my employer's place and it took me a long time because the general cleaning is re-scheduled every thursday. And I'm so lucky today because I don't have to prepare dinner for my hostfamily. The kids are going to a theater show with their grandparents. Yeheyyyyyyyyy, no cooking today. I'll just wait for Hilde to pick me up here at 7 pm. Meanwhile, I'll be blogging, reading and just about anything that will entertain me here in this lonely and rainy day. :)

Do you know the name of this?


Do you know the specific name of this light? I already saw a lot of these lights when I was still in Pinas. There's a lot of them particulary in Intramurus.

But I never thought that this kind of light has a special name. I only knew about it about 3 weeks ago when an opp was assigned for me and there, I read about it and through the reading, I found out that this kind of light is specifically known as sconce or wall sconce. Did know about it already? What a shame on my part and it took me 26 years before finding out the special name for this light. But it's okey because it's always "better late, than never",:)

Getting ready to doze off


I'm about to sleep now coz it's already 23:51 here, but I still have to make a couple of post before finally dozing off. There's good news for me coz the family where I'm going to make "kuskos" has contacted me already. The mother is going to pick me up here at 7 in the evening and drive me to her place, so I'll know where it is and she'll also show me their house. I'm going to start with my "kuskos" there, hopefully this Friday. Hurrah!!extra money for me,:)

wishing for a new luggage bag



It's really my wish since last year because the one I have now is not good anymore. The hem at the back is starting to burst open.:( I had a very nice green luggage bag before. It was my first luggage when I came to Denmark, but then when I went home last year, the bag was very big and I was only allowed to take 20 kilograms of baggage. I put all my things and they fall to the bottom of the bag because there's still a very big space. So, I asked my friend if we can change luggages, her black luggage which is a little bit smaller and just enough for my things. She was hesitant at first because she's a little bit shy since her luggage bag is an old one and mine looks very new and nice. But then I forced her to say yes and so we changed bags. After few weeks, I was regretting and my best told me that I could have brought the bag back to the Philippines and bought a smaller one there. Why I havn't think about it before? Until now, I'm still missing my green luggage bag.

Just last week, I put some of my things in the luggage bag because I'm cleaning my closet and I once remember my wish of having a new luggage bag. I hope Santa will give me one this Christmas,hehehe. If you happen to see Santa, kindly tell him my wish and tell him that I want a Samsonite luggage bag, just like the luggage in the photo. It can also be in red or green. I hope that Santa will hear my wish and deliver my new Samsonite luggage bag on Christmas day. I'll wait for your delivery Santa!

I'm feeling good!



Yesss!!I'm really feeling good right now after almost an hours of jogging and dancing here in my apartment. I've been doing this for the 2nd time this week and I'm really sweating a lot!I'm soo glad that I'm able to battle my laziness atlast. I've done some exercises before, but it was stopped due to busy schedule and laziness, but then, I was really pushed to do it again due to an alarming fact....the bil2x is growing bigger everyday and I just can't take it anymore..Scared to grow like a balloon without doing something, when I know that there's something that can still be done to avoid it..

Hopefully, another exercise session tomorrow.

Blogging problem solved lastnight


The blogging problem I mentioned in one of my posts lasnight was already solved. As a recap, I was really pissed off because an opp is about to expire yesterday and it should be made in my Tidbits and more domain. But I just can't acess it, as well as my other domain. There were also several opps available for me at PPP, but then I can't open the sites of the products that will serve as my guide in writing. I tried many time in accessing them, but I always failed. So, out of frustration, I decided to sleep. But before finally going to bed, I accessed my domain name once more and sooo glad that I was able to access it already. Yeheyyyyyy, problem solved! I was able to make the opp and grabbed osme more opps, but then it brought me to bed at around 1:30 in the morning. Another sleepless night! And the end result? I woke up late and went to my employer's place, 10 minutes late. But it was ok because thay're were still upstairs preparing themselves for the day ahead.

wasted opps and a pissed off mood



Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....I'm so pissed off right now with the internet, but I just can't figure out if it's my internet connection or just some of the sites. I logged in to PPP a while ago because I'm in the mood to blog right now and to cover up for the busy weekend. A lot of opps are available for my blogs, and most requires a domain name. So I accessed my 2 domain names, but I just can't and I don't know why!!I tried accessing in many times, but it's just giving me headache!! In frustration, I looked for another opps that I can take for this blog, I found one for $10, but I just can't open the site where I can get the info about the product..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..what's happening??can someone tell me??But how come I can open google and some other sites??

Another opp is due today for my Tidbits and more blog and I've been accessing it hours aga without a positive result..Hahayyyyy what a bummer!! I just hope I can access my domain names before I go to bed.

A busy monday and a cooking misunderstanding


Monday is always a busy day for me at my employer's place because I have to do a semi-general cleaning. I have to change the beddings and do the laundry. Today, I made 2 loads with the washing machine and I still have to do more loads tomorrow.

I walked the eldest child to school and then I went down to my apartment after coming from school. Too bad and I dozed off and so I started cleaning at 10 in the morning. I was done at 1 pm and I took a walk to the Protestant Church nearby where I have to return the key that my friend asked me to return. The church was about 2 minutes walk and too bad because the office is close every Monday.huhuhu. I also stopped at the grocery store just few meters away from the Church and tried looking for a birthday gift for the eldest child for her children's party this Saturday. But I didn't find one, so I really have to go to the City on Friday because I forgot to buy one last weekend.

In the morning, my male meployer told me that the youngest child will be attending a birthday party and that it will only be him, the eldest child and me that will be eating dinner. So , I prepared shrimps with cabbage and mushroom. The shrimps was only a left-over of the dish I prepared almost a 3 weeks ago, just enough for 3 people. But when my male employer came together with the children, he said that my female employer is coming for dinner and that it was only mistake that he said that she's not coming for dinner. So I told him that I'll just eat dinner in my apartment because the food I prepared is not enough 4. He called her wife, who is bicycling to and from work and about to reach home and told her about the "food shortage" story and my female employer was disappointed with her hubby for telling me to prepare dinner for only 3 people. My male employer told me that I'll just eat with them and he'll eat bread instead, but I insisted to eat at my apartment because I know that the wife is very hungry and he is too. If I know, he's very eager to taste the food that I prepared because they just love my cooking,hehehe.

So, I had my off an hour early. I made some order here in my apartment and I also made an hour of exercise. I've been planning this a long time ago, but laziness overruled me. But this time, I really have to combat laziness because the "bil2x" is growing bigger everyday. Glad I started it atlast! I hope that I'll always have the courage and energy to do it everyday.

another busy weekend


Hi everyone! Glad to blog once again, after another busy weekend. Thanks and I'm able to breath now,hehehe. After making a post here last friday, Ate Bren called me and asked me if I can go with her "kuskos". And of course I said yes because that's what I want,ehehe. And so, I hurriedly prepared my things and went to her work place. We ate lunch together and one of the good things I enjoy in coming to Ate Bren's place is the free food.:). She's working in a canteen and everytime I go there, I eat the foods I want for free. Ohh what a privelege!

Florean, my cousin from Denmark arrived unexpectedly in Norway together with our friend, Nina. She acocmpanied Nina in meeting her future employer. My best was also shocked when they called informing her that they're already in the airport. And so Best called me and I had the same reaction as her. We had fun talking and bonding at Ate Bren's place on friday night and we also helped her a bit in making order in the apartment. They already transfered to their orignal apartment because the renovation is done already.

Saturday was spent in attending the 10th year anniversary of CFC (Couples for Christ) in Norway. I went to Skedmokorset with Best and Ella and we really had fun there. The food was great and there was also a wide display of cakes for dessert that it's difficult to choose which one to eat. We enjoyed the different presentation from the different ministries and it was also a bonding time for all. We wore formal dress for the gathering. I'll post pictures later coz I havn't uploaded them yet. We went home at around 11:30 pm to Ate Bren's place. But I finally dozed off at 2 in the morning because we were still chitchatting.:)

I only had 4 hours of sleep because I woke up at 6am and walked Nina and my cousin to the bus stop where they took the Airport bus for their 8:50am flight back to Denmark. Best and Lisa also walked with us. I went back to sleep at 10:30am and woke up once again at around 2pm. We ate lunch and get ready for the 6pm Mass at St. Olav.

My friend met me at the bus stop after the Mass because they asked me if I can return the key to the office near my place. She had a party last Saturday too, but I was not able to attend because I went to the church activity. She gave me desserts and when I opened it in my apartment there were salad, cassava cake and chocolate cake. Ohh lucky me,heheheh.

I made some order in my things and finally dozed off at 11pm.

A new schedule


Hi everyone! It's finally friday and another weekend,:). I'm suppose to have a general cleaning today, but I got a new schedule. I'll have my general cleaning every Thursday and I started with the new sched yesterday. My employer changed it so I can have some "kuskos" on fridays to cover for my tax. Coz I told them that if I can't have a "kuskos", then they have to pay for my tax, just like in Denmark. But thanks goodness and they find a way to solve it and for me to gain extra money. I'm really thankful to GOD coz HE really knows what my heart desires.

I'm suppose to start with my "kuskos" now, but then the family is very busy right now and don't have the time to talk with me and show me the house. So, I'll start next friday. And since my employer is working home today, I got my off early. I only tidy up in their place for about an hour after walking the child to school and I'm done! Hurrahhh, I'm free now.

Happy weekend everone!

Millionaire Memorabilia


How good it is to have a memorabilia of the exciting books you have read or films that you've seen. I just stumble into Millionaire Memorabilia site and I saw a lot of movies, sports and celebrities memorabilia. And right after seeing the Godfather memorabilia, I instantly remember my hostfamily in Denmark because there's also a Godfather memorabilia hanging on the wall of their office at home. A picture of the Godfather himself.
memorabilia
At first, I didn't care about the picture, until my female employer explains the picture to me and told me about the movie. I was really intrigued and wanted to see the movie myself. When I came here in Norway, I got the chance to read the "Godfather" book by Mario Puzo accidentally. I spent my weekend in one of my friends, Ate Diza. She had his own apartment just at the back of her employer's place. There was a mini-library in the corner, so I took a look at the books and novels in the rack and Godfather was there. I was really very happy and excited because I can finally read the novel. I borrowed it and as soon as I went home to my apartment, I started reading it and couldn't put it down anymore. I can still clearly remember my sleepless nights just reading the novel. It was really a good novel and just can't forget how powerful,kind, rich and dangerous the Godfather is. The novel is still here since Ate Diza is having her vacation in the Philippines, I just hope that I can watch the movie and also have a movie memorabilia, just like my hostfamily in Denmark.

Yellow fanatic turns 26


Hurrahh!!Thanks GOD for another year in my life! Yess, I turned 26 last November 11 (Sunday), but I had my little party for my friends last Saturday. And it's the reason why I've been silent for the past few days. I only had few guests and the party was held at Ate Bren's place. As usual, we had a japanese setting since they're still in their temporary apartment. But their original apartment is already fixed now and they're transferring there next week. We're all excited because the newly renovated apartment is much more nicer than the old one. Hurrah!


The party was not so lavisihed. We prepared spring rolls, roasted chicken, chop suey ala Ate Bren, rice and of course pancit for long life,hehehe.

We also had 2 cakes for dessert. We forgot to buy a cake moulder, so we were not able to bake the chocolate cake. Ate Bren bought a ready-made cake secretly. So I was surprised when they took out the cakes coz I didn't expect to have any. Yeheyyyyyy, I was able to blow the candles!:)

And because I'm addicted to yellow, the party had a yellow theme.hehehe. My friends wore something yellow (though not all of them), but I'm really happy about it. I planned of buying a yellow table cloth for the floor, but I didn't found any in the store. So, I just bought a yellow table napkin,hehehe.


The Yellow fanatic!So happy with my yellow dress and yellow shoes!hehehe

Here are the rest of the pictures as we started eating:


Some of my guests with their yellow outfits. Ate Bren, her Hubby, Ella and Tante Min.



With all my friends, after eating.Mga busog na!hehehe


The eating session was followed by opening of my gifts..Yeheyyyyyy thanks everyone for all the gifts.

A pose with Anny Helen, Ate Bren's daughter, before opening the gifts.


Thanks Ate Eves and Cecil for the white lingerie..It's really sexy,:)


Thanks Ate Ellen for the yellow blouses, I love both of them. And thanks for coming to my birthday. She travelled 8 hours with the train just to attend the party.


Tante min (Anny), thanks for the sexy skirt.


My cousin Lisa, thanks for the sexy black blouse. I can surely hide my bilbil with it,hehehe.


I got a sexy black dress too. And thanks to my Best, Ate Ging2x,Tonet and Ate Mafe.


Trying my new black dress!So sexy, isn't it?


Thanks Best for my new Stephen King novels. She really knew my fave author.


A pose before serving the cake with coffee.

After opening the gifts, we started eating the cakes and also started drinking til we got drunk,hehehe.Some of my friends got drunk, but luckily, I didn't.:)

These were our drinks!Tequilla got us by drinking it without lemon.grrrrr

After drinking all the wine, we decided to go to the disco.

Waiting for the train.They're already tipsy,heheh


Inside the disco house. They're not in the mood to dance because headache was attacking them. Blame it to the tequilla!hehehe


Best and me inside the disco house.


We really fun in the disco and all in all, the party was a success. And we finally arrived at Ate Bren's place at around 4 in the morning. We ate because we were very hungry and finally went to sleep at 5 in the morning.Whooahhh, what a party!

It's getting cold here


It's already freezing outside even if there's no snow yet. Winter is finally here and I don't like it. I love the snow, but not the cold weather!huhuhuh. Especially when I have to go out everyday to walk my employer's children to the school and the kindergarten and also pick them up sometimes.

Now that winter is here, I constantly think of coffee and espresso machines. Just the other day, I came from the city at around 11 in the evening and I really wanted to drink coffee or cappuccino to warm my body. But then, I was alredy very tired and don't have the energy to boil water the traditional way. I just wished that I have a machine here in my apartment that will instantly make coffee, espresso or cappuccino for this winter season.

I bought a set of toaster and water boiler months ago, but it's in my friend's place. I'm going to get it so I can use the water boiler, atleast, it will be easier for me to boil water.

A busy weekend and a birthday party


Hi everyone! How are you? I hope you had a great weekend and I'm really sorry for the long silence here in my blog. and I'm thankful to everyone who has visited my blog despite the absence of new posts. Thanks a lot guys, I promise to visit you within this week.

At last I'm back to blogging and and I'm really happy about it! As I blogged last friday, I can't blog during the weekend because I'm going to host a little party for my 26th birthday. My employers asked me to babysit on friday night and I woke up early on Saturday and went to Ate Bren's place to prepare for the party. My friends helped me in preparing the food and the party was successful. We really had fun and the details of the party will be elaborated on my next post together with the pictures.

I attended the 6pm Mass on Sunday at St. Olav and went home directly to my apartment. And the gifts from my hostfamily was already inside my apartment.And yesterday was the birthday of my employer's eldest child and I didn't prepare food for them because they went out. So I had my off early, but then I was still very busy because after cleaning the house, I went to the city and accompanied my friend, Ate Ellen, in touring the city. She's working in Stavanger (8 hours by train to Òslo) and she just came to attend my birthday. I'm soo touched!!Thanks Ate Ellen!And I finally came home yesterday at 11 in the evening, exhausted, yet happy!

And today was another busy day because I fetched the 2 children from the kindergarten and the school, respectively. And I also prepared dinner. But it's ok because my female employer had a good news for me when I came home! God is really good all the time! He really knows my needs. Thanks GOD!

Have a nice evening everyone and once again sorry for the long silence!

I want a credit card


I really want to have a credit card so I can change my paypal account into "verified" status and so I can buy things online using it. But I really don't know how to get one here in Norway. My debit card is not even Visa. I have a Visa Electron debit card but I can't use it in buying stuffs online. I need a Visa debit card. I told the bank before that I want a debit card that I can use in paying online, but they told me that I can't have it because I'm an au pair.Grrrrrrr, I mean what's wrong with us au pairs? I have friends though who have Visa debit cards, but their bank is different from mine. I want to transact business with the bank, but I just can't right noe because I'm still waiting for my new visa. And one of the requirements is a valid visa. So, I still have to wait.

In my desperation to have a credit card, I started surfing the net for ways in applying a credit card online. I've been to many sites already, but I just can't apply because I have to be living in the US or the UK. Hayyyy, another problem! And just a while ago, I stumble into CreditCardsSearchEngine.com. It's a credit card site that compares Best Reward Credit Cards to guide you in choosing the right credit card for you. And if you already made a choice, you can also apply for the credit card of your choice in their site. It's really a nice site and I'm still exploring it and trying to know if I can avail one of their featured credit cards. I just hope I can. Wish me luck!

No blogging tomorrow


I just want to make most of time blogging tonight because there'll e no blogging tomorrow, that's for sure! As I've said earlier, I'm going to have an advance birthday party tomorrow. My real birthday will on sunday, but it's not a good idea to have a party that day since it's back to work on monday. Tomorrow night is the perfect schedule and we already planned to go to the disco once again, just like we did during my Best's birthday last September.

Only few friends are coming and one of my best buddies, Ate Ellen, since my Denmark days is coming tomorrow. She's also in Norway now, but in Stavanger, a place far from Oslo, 8 hours with the train. Hopefully, tomorrow will be fun because we are all excited to see her again. We havn't seen her for more than a year now.

I'll keep you posted with the party tomorrow folks and hoping that it will turn out great!

Babysitting on a Friday night and The Parent Trap movie


Hi everyone!I'm blogging right here in my employer's place. I'm babysitting once again, but thanks heavens and the children are behaving well. And I owe it to the Disney movie "The Parent Trap" starring Lindsay Lohan.

My male employer sent me sms yesterday asking me if I can babysit tomorrow night. But for some weird reason, I didn't received it and he told me about it this morning. I told him I can't because I'm going to have a party with my friends for my birthday. So he told me that he'll try to arrange the schedule and try if they can go out tonight instead of tomorrow. I was a little bit irritated because I'm suppose to prepare for tomorrow's party. My male employer called at around 1:30 pm and confirmed that I'll be babysitting tonight at around 7pm.

So,I hurriedly go to the city after cleaning and met Ate Bren and Lisa there. I asked them to help me in buying the things that will be needed tomorrow. Itr took us only less than 2 hours in buying things. I'll only prepare simple filipino foods for tomorrow for my guests. I think it will be less than 10 people. That's the way we do parties here in Norway (for us au pairs), not so lavish because things are expensive here.

I'm suppose to put the children to bed at 8 pm, but they just don't want to sleep yet because they liked "The Parent Trap" soo much and I got difficulty translating the movie to norsk for them. I just scroll the channels for good movies until I came across the movie at Disney channel. The kids were really behaving well, so I allowed them to finish the movie. And they're finally in bed now, at exactly 9pm. By the way, I liked the movie too and it's already my 3rd time of watching it. I just love the story.

Ohhhh, good news!My employers has given me bottle of champagne for the party tomorrow.Hmmmm, my friends will surely love it. I'll give me more updates later. For now, I'll think of something worthwhile to do while waiting for my employers to come. Have a nice evening everyone and have a nice weekend too!

Memories of my Best's 26th Birthday


I already blogged about my Best's 26th birthday here. She had her birthday last September 15 and the party was on September 14 at Ate Brend's place. Her nickname is Bhing, but we call each other "Best". However the post was without pictures because I was not yet able to uplod the pics during that time. So let me show the pics of her birthday party today.

Most of ua wore blue, my best's fave color and the table was setting was Japanese because we were squatting on the floor. Ate Bren's apartment is under renovation and they're temporariy transferred in a neighboring apartment. So they don't have a lot of furniture there, thus, the floor squatting.

Best and Me. And the floot setting in the background,hehehe.


It was just a blue party of 8!


Eating time with friends!


Blue ladies!This time with Ate Bren.


Best and I after eating!Daku na jamo ahong tiyan!grrrrrr
