A baby is on the way

My dearest bestfriend, 2yang, got married last December 25, 2006 and I was so lucky to attend her wedding. And to my surprise, she made me her Maid of Honor. I was really honored and sooo glad. I have 2 bestfriends, but 2yang is the original one, since Bhing came when we were already grade 3. 2yang is a Civil Engineer and she's also my maternal cousin. She's really kind and intelligent and she's married to a seafarer. She now works and lives in Cebu. They just transferred to their new house about 2 weeks ago.

Few months after her wedding, she got pregnant and she's been so careful about it coz she's so thin and diagnosed as malnourished. She informed as that her expected delivery date will be on April 10. But around 7pm here, I received a text message from her, informing me that she's already in labor and that it's really so painful. And she asked me to pray for her. I got another text message after about 20 minutes that they're already on their way to the hospital.

I already prayed to God to give my bestfriend a safe and successful delivery and please pray for her too. And I'll keep on praying. I really pity her and I really wish that I can be with her to give support and comfort coz her hubby is still sailing. I know that she's really into a difficult situation. I've already heard a lot of stories that it's difficult being pregnant and delivering without the hubby. And I'm so sad that she experienced both,:(

I am also very excited about her baby. When we were still in high school, we promised that we will be ninangs to each other's child/children,hehehe. So, I'll have another inaanak really soon.

My dear bestfriend, have a safe and successful delivery. God bless you always. I miss you and love you soo much!

It was suddenly cut-off

I was referring to my internet connection last night. It was suddenly cut off after few minutes of writing my last post.:( I was already programming the things that I have to do in my blogs, but I was not able to pursue them coz of the sudden lost (net connection). So, I went to bed early (around 10pm) and I did a lengthy reflection instead. I think it was God's way, so I can really devote a time for reflecting a lot of things...things that I refused to recognize and mistakes that I don't want to accept. I'm just sooo stubborn and full of pride, but I just don't want to accept it and I just keep on fooling myself by believing that I am doing fine and that there's nothing wrong with me. But last night, I finally accepted it to myself that I have some problems that I have to deal with and that I have to change a lot of things for me to grow. I was really relieved and the teaching given by our HH leader really helped me in making the acceptance. I know I'm being emotional in this early morning, but I just can't help it and I'm so happy about it.

Anyways, I didn't walk the eldest child to school coz they woke up late. And after they all left, I went to the office room and checked the wireless router. The blinking lights for the wireless and other stuffs in the router were all gone and so I investigated. And I already figured out why the connection was suddenly cut-off last night. The plug for the router was removed and the plug for the camera charger was plugged instead. The plug for the heater that wasn't used was not removed though. I'm sure, they didn't do it intentionally, they just grabbed the router plug off coz it was located in the upper socket, very convenient. I plugged the router plug once again and I saw the lights blinking and went down hurriedly here to check if the connection is already working fine. Yeheyyyyy, I have my connection once again.:)

Happy Monday everyone!

I forgot some things

Yes, I forgot some things at Ate Bren's place and I don't like it,:( Last night, I packed my bag, so it will be ready in the morning. I remembered that my sony ericson charger was still in the socket, but I thought of getting in the morning. But this morning, I got the stomach ache and went up late. So, I was already in a hurry as I took a bath and dressed. My friends and my cousins were already ready and they've already eaten breakfast. I was done fixing myself, but they went ahead coz they still have to buy a tram ticket. I bid Ate Bren and her daughter (Anny Helen) goodbye and left in a hurry. As I was already outside the door, I remember my rosary bracelet that I put in the tv mount before sleeping. I thought of going back to get it (coz I'm not comfortable without it), but I changed my mind coz Ate Bren and Anny were still in bed and it's not a good idea to for one of them to get up and open the door for me. So, I hurriedly ran against my will to catch the tram. But we still missed it coz there was a change in the schedule starting today.:( So we waited for the next tram for about 30 minutes.

After the mass, I went to Mads' place for the HH. And there, I suddenly remember that I forgot to get my sony ericson charger from the socket,grrrrrrrrrrr. I was torn between 2 ideas: to go back to Ate Bren's place and get it back after the HH or just get it back next weekend. And I end up deciding to just get it back next weekend coz I felt so lazy going back there coz of the rain. Anyways, I can still put my sim card on my other phone if the battery runs out. I just hope it wouldn't be so soon,:) I am glad though coz I as emptied my bag, I saw the rosary bracelet. I was able to put it in my bag last night or early in the morning without really remembering it,:)

Lesson learned: Just do the things you want to do the instant you remember them. Don't save it for later, just do it right away, to avoid forgetting it.

My Weekend

Hi everyone, hope you had a nice weekend. I had a nice one too,:) I'm already back here in my apartment about an hour ago. I'm early today coz I attended the early morning Mass (9:30am) with my friends and I also attended my SFC household prayer meeting at 12noon. So, I'm already free, yeheyy!!:)

Friday:
I attended Ate Minang's farewell party at Ate Bren's place. My friends and my cousins were also there and we really had fun. We had a little drinking session,:) coz Ate Minang (who visited her host family in Denmark last week) brought some Martini and white wine on her way back to Norway.:) Good thing and we didn't get drunk,:), but we felt ill coz we didn't like the taste of the 2nd bottle of Martini. We liked the extra dry more,:) Ate Minang cooked delicious Pinoy foods (humba, pancit, chicken afritada, fried salmon) and I really pigged out,:( We went to sleep at around 2am coz we had a long "chika2x" session,:)

Saturday:
At around 8:45am, I was awaken by Tonet (one of my friends) and told me that I have to go with best to her kuskos. She's supposed to go with her, but Ate Bren asked her to go with her to her kuskos too, so I have to replace her. So I woke up and gladly go with best,:) The cleaning is about 2 and half hour, but we finished it within 2 hours. We had a very funny experience and we just kept on laughing while we were on the trikk (don't know the english term for it), but it's a kind of tram or a mini train here in Norway. I'll just share the experience in separate post coz it's kinda long,:) We dropped by a shop coz I bought some banana, lotion and shampoo and then we went home to Ate Bren's place. Ate Minang made "binignit" and it was really very tasty. We also ate "buwad" and "ginamos" during dinner, really yummy!! We had another "chika2x" session and watched some movies. I put the alarm at 7:30am to get ready for the 9:30am Mass.

Sunday:
The time has been changed to summer time. So, I adjusted my clock to 1 hour advance. But I woke up before the alarm coz I had a stomach ache. Maybe it was due to all the foods I ate on Friday and Saturday,:( I slept back and started preparing at around 8am. And we have to take the 8:36am tram, so I really hurried coz they were already ready. But we end up missing the tram and took the 9:03am sched instead coz there's a new summer sched effective this day. We arrived at Church about 5 minutes late and best totally missed the Mass (details will be on a separate post).

After the Mass, I went directly to Mads' place (where our HH will be held). And at around 12:30 noon, we started our HH and it was a joint one with the other HH group. We really had a good fellowship and we cracked a lot of jokes,hehehe. Bunso was telling as some "bugtong" and "palaisipan" and we joked about it coz it seems she's only making it and that one bugtong is not really official,hehehe. I really love having HH and hanging around with my SFC family, it's really fun and inspiring. Mads prepared pancit and adobo, so we ate after we prayed and sis Mai gave a teaching about Cultivating Community after we ate. It was really a nice topic and I learned a lot from it (another post for the details),:)

It has been raining the entire weekend and we are upset about it,:( I went home here without an umbrella and good thing and there was a good samaritan who offered me a ride as I was walking from the bus stop to here, thanks God. I'll also write about the good samaritan in a separate post,:)

I am drinking tea now to keep me warm and aid in digesting the food. I felt so bloated right now,:) More updates later friends and enjoy the rest of your Sunday,:)

Wondering why

As you all know, I'm have an extra cleaning job every Friday and I clean for 4 hours. Aside from cleaning, I also have to fold the clothes and wash the dishes that should not be put into the dishwasher (kettles, wooden ladles, etc.). The family was away for vacation last week, so I didn't clean last week. Good thing and the house is not that dirty and there's not much dishes to wash. There was a lot of clothes to fold though,:)

I like cleaning their house coz it's not that dirty and they are really organized people. They don't make unnecessary mess, I mean, they try to make things in order and keep the house clean as much as possible. The only thing I'm wondering is why are they not using the 2 walk in tub in the house. They have 3 bathrooms and 2 have tubs, but they're not using them, so I only have to wipe the dust off. Maybe, they're just too busy to take a long bath and relax in the tub.

A very busy Friday

Friday is always a busy day for me coz it's kuskos time. But today, I got even more busy as I went to 2 kuskos. I just arrived here in my apartment a while ago and I'm very hungry, so I made some oatmeal for me.

My day started at the usual 7am duty, but I didn't walk the child though. I won't be walking her every Friday coz of the sched change. I made some cleaning and left the house around 9:30am. I started cleaning at my 1st kuskos at 10am and finished at around 2:30pm. Then I walked home hurriedly coz I have to be at the neighbor's house at 3pm. I arrived 15 minutes before 3, so I went inside my employer's place and emptied the dishwasher that I switched on before I left. I worked at the neighbor's place for 2 hours. So I'm really exhausted,:)

I'm here in the table, eating oatmeal with salt and of course blogging too,:)....multi-tasking indeed,:) Anyways, it's gloomy, windy and cold outside, but I have to go out and go to Ate Bren's place coz one of our friends, Ate Minang, will have her farewell party this evening. She's going to Denmark this Sunday coz her contract here is already finished. It's good, fun after a tiring day,hehehe.

I'll keep you posted about the farewell party and wishing you all a happy weekend!

LO's little change

I don't know if you observe the little change I made with my layout, but I was done making it just this afternoon. After making a lot of testing last night, I end up with the little change. I used a new template, Tropical Retreat, from Free Blogger Skins. But I retained the header from my old LO created by Ate Carlota. I'm really sort of experimenting in tweaking the HTML and I know I still have a long way to go,:)

I also hide the blogroll instead of displaying it in the side bar and I wasted a lot of time trying to figure it out. Last night, I clicked the links individually to copy the urls and put it in one page, but I got tired coz there were a lot of links. So, I decided to ask Joy O. if she has the urls of all BisdakPlanet members, so I'll just ask a copy to save time. And then she told me just to blacken the names and make a right click and choose "show link source" to extract the urls. I followed the instruction and I instantly saw all the urls. I was relieved and felt stupid at the same time. :( I slpet late last night because of it when it can be done in a minute. I learned something today, thanks Joy O. for sharing the trick to me.

I'm still up

I had a nice Wednesday at my employer's place today. I was busy at all and I'm happy coz the snow has stopped from falling,:) and the sun is up once again. I made fried rice for dinner and the eldest child was complaining once again and told me that she don't like hotdogs for the nth time,:)

I was off from work at 6pm, but I havn't blog coz I was busy surfing the net for different stuffs. And right now, I'm trying to visit all the links in here coz I'm copying the urls coz I'm planning to change my LO here. I'm working on it and I'm trying to tweak the HTML to come up with a new look. The LO is still very simple right now, I only made few changes. But I'm going to use it when I'm done with the tweaking and I'll make little improvements as time goes by. It will be an experimentation of some sort.:) And I hope I can make it and learn a lot along the way.

Anyways, I'll go back to what I'm doing and talk to you tomorrow friends. Have a nice evening everyone and sleep well!

Mission accomplished!

Yessssssssss!!!I'm really relieved coz I've already vacuumed my apartment. I'm done with it about 5 minutes ago and I'm ready to go to my kuskos at exactly 1:30pm, but then I received a call from her a while ago, informing me that she's not yet home. So she wants me to come after an hour. Nahh, I can't come anymore coz I have to make dinner early coz I'm going to pick up the eldest child from school at 4pm. And if I'll come at 2:30pm, so I'll be done at 3:30pm and I won't have enough time to make dinner before picking up the child. Good thing and she understood and asked me if I can come tomorrow instead. Nahhh, I still can't coz tomorrow will be a general cleaning day. I'll be busy. So we agreed that I'll come on Friday instead, around 3pm. So I guess, I'll just take a nap after this.

Btw, my cousin Florean, sent me a text message last night informing me that her host family has already booked a ticket for her coz she's coming home after her contract and the scheduled date is on May 14, so soon. But they only booked a 1 way ticket coz she havn't found a host family in Norway yet. We still have to look one for her. Anyways, her host family is thinking of getting a travel insurance for her. But I don't think it's still necessary coz the last time I came home, I didn't get one for myself. But if they will insist on buying one for her, then it will be real good,:)

Got to go!

I'm going to my apartment in a little while to clean a bit there before going to the neighbor for my kuskos. She called me earlier and told me that she wants me to be at her place at 1:30pm to help her a bit for an hour.

I posted here last Tuesday that I'm going to clean the apartment, but unfortunately, I havn't vacuumed it until now. Laziness is once again attacking me, but I have to fight it or else, my apartment would be very messy by the end of the week,:( And I hate the idea, so I better go now. Talk to you later friends and enjoy your Wednesday.

Playing with logos

I am here in my employer's place and I brought my lappy with me coz I cooked some rice for my the fried rice that I'm going to make for dinner. I also watched America's Next Top Model while waiting for the rice to be done.

I also had fun making logos for free at logoyes.com. I am imagining that I have my own business and I'm making a logo for the business cards that will be distributed,:) I am daydreaming indeed,hehehe. I made a a logo for the business that my Mama wants to start, an ID lamination business. But what I made is not that nice though coz I'm still learning how to use the program. Here's the screen shot of what I made:

I named the bizz, Name Me, but I don't really know what would be the real name coz it would be Mama who will decide, it's her business after all,:) If you also want to try making logo design, then logoyes.com is the best place for you to start. Visit the site now and have fun making logos for free,:) The steps in making a logo is very simple and the program is user-friendly, so you won't find any difficulty in creating a logo. All you have to do is follow the steps.

I panicked!

I had a nice Tuesday at my employer's place. They went home from the mountains yesterday and the house is not that dirty. There were a lot of dirty clothes to wash though. I finished cleaning around 11am and then I shovel the snow outside for about 30 minutes. I went down to my apartment afterwards and did the usual stuff, blogging and net surfing,hehehe. I also called my mother while on the net.

And I was also texting with my friends in Pinas through chikka.com and I lost track of time. It was already 3:30pm when I went back to my employer's place to prepare dinner. And I didn't hurry at all coz I thought that they'll come home late, just like before. But at around 4:30pm, my female employer came home with the eldest kid and I havn't started cooking yet, grrrrrrrrrr. So I was already panicking coz I'm scared the the employer will scold me. I hurriedly started cooking the rice and the chicken afritada. And it really took time coz the potato has to simmer for about 20 minutes. So I was able to present the dish at exactly 5pm. Good thing and my employer was in good mood and she didn't scold me at all. I was really relieved of my panic. Lesson learned: be on time and it's ok to prepare dinner ahead of time than being late. I will never do it again coz I don't like the feeling. I used to wait for them to come and everything is already set. It was really the first time that I was caught unprepared and I I hate it and the feeling of being in panic.

Despite the panic, my Tuesday is still nice coz of the nice conversation I had with my female employer (posted earlier). I also had a nice conversation with my brother just a while ago.

The job conversation

It was only my female employer, the eldest kid and me who shared dinner coz the youngest kid was visiting a friend and the male employer is working a little bit late at work . The eldest kid went upstairs and she didn't eat coz she's still full from the food they made at school with her cooking class. So it was only me and my female employer and we talked about my plans after my contract in Norway. I told her that my cousin in Denmark wants to replace me if it's ok with them and I told her that I'm leaving at the end of August so I still have some visa left when I go to Spain. But she didn't agree with me coz she thought that it will be very early for me. She said that I won't have any problem as long as I still have a visa left, be it 1 month or 2 weeks.

She also told me that they're going to help me find a job here in Norway so I can stay longer coz she don't want me to go to Spain without the certainty of having a host family there. She took her laptop upstairs and started looking for jobs online that will fit me. And she's thinking about a job in the canteen which I also like and I think I can handle well. She had already some lists and she said that she's going to call them for me. I'm really hoping for good results so I won't have to adjust to a new environment anymore.

If I can't find a new job offer here, then I really have to go to Spain, anywhere in Spain as long as there's a family who will employ me. One of my friends has already contacted someone there who is willing to help us if we go there. He's going to help us look for a family and while seeking, we can live in one of his apartments and just pay him the rent later id we'll run out of money. He also told us that staying in one of the cheap hotels in Seville is another option, just in case there will be no vacancy in the apartments. Nahhhh, I just hope it won't happen coz it means more money to spend,:)

Winter is not yet over

We (me and my friends) were all disappointed as it started snowing last Thursday. We really thought that winter is over coz it has been sunny for almost 2 weeks and no trace of snow anymore. And suddenly the snow came when everyone thought that it's already spring. :( I was freezing yesterday as I came home coz I didn't bring a lot of warm clothes with me. The snow was really unexpected and I was really freezing in my apartment last night. I already turned the heater on and I wore a shirt with long sleeves, but it was still very cold. So I end up curling myself in bed to keep myself warm.

Here are some of the photos I took last Thursday while trapped inside best's place.



One of my friends told me on our conversation at ym this afternoon that maybe there will be no more spring and summer this year. Nahhhhh, I really hate her joke. I want summer and I'm already longing for the rays of the sun and the freedom to stroll without wearing a thick jacket.

Is it for real?

That was the question thrown to me by my bro last night during our chat session. He told me that he received an e-mail informing him that he won the lotto blah blah. So I told him immediately that it's a scam coz I already received a lot of those emails and I just ignored them. But he insisted for me to check his e-mail coz he played the free online lotto once and the numbers supplied in the email was the number he played. Nahhhh, I really doubt if it's real. But for my bro's sake, I'm going to check his email this evening. Yep, I made his e-mail before and he didn't change the password, so I can still access it. Good thing so I can check if he's doing something naughty and bad,hehehe,

I posted here before about my hesitation in telling my bro about online casino coz I know that he'll really try it. But I didn't know that he did his own research and found his way to online gaming. Smart indeed,hehehe.

Happy Easter everyone!

I'm finally here in my apartment from the much-needed easter holiday,:). And I'm so sorry for this late easter greeting coz I've been to Ate Bren's place and we were so busy chitchatting and don't have any time to blog there.

I just hope that you had a blessed Easter! Mine was great with my cousins and friends and we had an Easter dinner last night.

What's your web host?

As the blogosphere is getting denser, most bloggers want their own domain names and an efficient web host. I've already read a lot of complains from bloggers about different blogging problems and several complains about their web host too. They've been complaining about their not so efficient web host, causing their blogs to be down and not accessible for a day or more. Bloggers want an efficient web host company to provide a great service and a lot are popping up in the net today. All we have to do is make a research to end up choosing the greatest among all. If you are also looking for a great web hosting company, have a peep at Kaushal Sheth's blog because he's compiling a list of best web hosting companies and tried one personally.

Visit his blog and see the list. You are also very welcome to leave your own suggestions about the web hosting companies that you find nice.

Have a blessed Holy Week!

The chatting session with my baby is almost done and I'm going to my friends after a few minutes. And I'll be having a short hiatus after this post coz I'm going to concentrate with my spiritual nourishment and I'll be back after easter.

Have a blessed Holy Week one and all and may we be reminded of God's unconditional love at all times. He has died on the cross just to save us from our sins. Let's reflect on that. God bless us all.

I'm finally free!

Hi friends, I hope you are all doing fine. I didn't blog yesterday coz I worked at my kuskos and I went to bed early, around 8:30pm. That was really unlikely of me,hehehe, but I really wanted to sleep early to give myself a break since I slept on Tuesday at 5 in the morning,awwww it was already Wednesday morning. So I went to my kuskos groggy due to lack of sleep.

I had a good sleep and I woke up this morning soo fresh. I had my general cleaning in my host family's place and I finished it about 30 minutes ago. And now I'm here in my apartment, preparing my things for the longgg weekend. I'm going to my best's place. She, my other cousins and my friends are already waiting for me.

But I still have to make some cleaning here in my apartment before going there. and I'm also waiting for my baby to be online coz we'll be chatting in a little while coz we havn't talk online for a long time. Hmmmm, i'm so excited and so kilig,ahehehe.

Rap it up!

To all music lovers out there, check rapartists.com because they have all the latest hip hop news in the music industry. You can also check the hottest albums, singers and songs with their top artists, top songs and top albums section. And they have a lot more of fun stuffs there.

I'm going to tell my brother about this site tomorrow coz he's really into music and he loves hip hop and rap a lot! And i'll also share this to my cousins, Florean and Jeli, coz they are music lovers too. Actually, my maternal family is a musically-inclined family. Almost all are gifted with golden voices and talents in playing musical instruments, but yours truly is really an exemption. I can hardly sing a note. Definitely, I didn't inherit the "music genes",:(

Still wide awake

Ohhh my, I'm still wide awake at 4 in the morning! I was chatting with Ate Gagiers about 2 hours ago and after that, I was already busy tweaking the HTML of a certain blog template. I'm trying to personalize a template, but to no avail, I failed. I'm already sleepy and it's already difficult to concentrate at this wee hours of the morning,:) Gotta do it some other time.

Anyways, I tolerated myself for waking up until this hour coz I can wake up late tomorrow since my host family will be leaving for the mountains already and I don't have to work early in the morning. I'll start working after they'll leave. So I have plenty of time to sleep, but I'll better sleep in a few minutes coz the eyes are already aching,:)

Good morning everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Bad credit history

I really pity my aunt and her family for having a bad credit history and it all started when their business started falling down and in the hope of saving it from bankruptcy, they made several loans to reinforce capital into the business. But unfortunately, they were not able to save the business and the saddest part is that, they have to pay all the debts and the children also suffered with the consequence. Some of the children stopped schooling and started working abroad in their desire to help pay all the debts. 3 of the children are already working abroad and also my aunt's husband and slowly, they are recovering from the business nightmare.

But sad to say, even if they'll be able to pay all the debts, but they'll forever have a bad credit history and it will surely be a problem for them in making loans in the future. I will inform my aunt about bad credit loans at www.badcreditoffers.com, so they still have the possibility to avail of a loan despite their bad credit history.

Happy birthday my dearest brother!

Today is my dearest brother's 25th Birthday and I wish him a happy happy birthday! I always pray to God to always give my bro and his family good health and long life. And I'm always thankful to God for having a responsible, loving, respectful and God-fearing brother! I luv you bro!

His celebrationg his birthday with his host family in Denmark and my cousin, Florean. I've chatted with them earlier and they're cooking pancit and adobo for my brother's host family. Hmmm,yummy! I wish I'm there to celebrate with them. He's also going to prepare something tomorrow for his friends there. And on Thursday, he's going to Jeli's place with Florean for a visit. I really wish I'm also there to join the fun.

Once again,happy birthday bro and I luv u much!muahhhhh

Online gaming

My brother is really good in playing cards since then and he knew a lot of card game. He also taught me different games. The only thing I don't like about his card playing is the beating. I just hate when money is involve in playing cards. I do play cards for fun, but I had never tried playing with a beating. I just can't stand it. And my brother told me that he's friends in Denmark play cards most of the time and beat huge amount of money. So, I'm scared that he'll also do the same. He told me that he's also playing with them, but not beating much though. Hmmm, I just hope he's telling the truth,:)

He has already a PC in his room now and I just hope that he won't find out about online casino because I'm scared that he'll be addicted to it. Though I want him to enjoy and play online, but please not now. Not now that he still has a lot of debts to pay,:)

A relaxed Tuesday

I'm done cleaning in my hostfamily's place and I still have a lot of time before going back to prepare dinner. I'm pretty relaxed today and I'm lovin' it,:) I didn't do much cleaning today though coz I already cleaned a lot yesterday and I'll be having my general cleaning tomorrow too, after the family leaves for the mountain for their ski holidays.

We (my and my entire family) are so thankful to God and my 1st cousin, Jeli, is already in Denmark safe and sound 3 days ago. She left Pinas on Friday and supposed to arrive in DK the following day. But she got a problem in London and been stranded there for a night, so she finally arrived in DK on Sunday. Thanks God. You can read the rest of her Pinas-Denmark flight in my travel blog, Around d' Word.

Jeli is my maternal 1st cousin and right now, I'm waiting for a text message from my faternal 1sy cousin, Hazel, who also left Pinas yesterday to also work in Denmark. She's supposed to arrive in DK at around 7am today. I hope she's doing fine and hope to be receiving a text message from her very soon.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna relax and take a nap here coz I slept around 2am lastnight coz I was busy with my blogging and net surfing,:) Talk to you later friends. Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday.

I started working late

Yes, I started working late today, around 9am. But don't get me wrong, I didn't forget that my work starts at 7am,:) But because my male employer sent me an SMS lastnight informing me that the children were not home, so I don't have to prepare their lunch boxes and I don't have to be there before 9am. That was really good news,hehehe. So instead of sleeping early, I decided to stay a little bit late and make updates in all my blogs.:) When I say all my blogs, that means 5 blogs,hehehe. Yes, I am maintaining 5 blogs now, but I havn't posted about my newest blog here. I'm gonna inform you about it very soon,:)

By the way, I had a nice day at work today. My Monday is pretty good. The sun was up and the weather was nice. I took my time in cleaning and I didn't hurry at all. During my break time, I watched "No Reservations" movie and it was really good. Kinilig ako to the bones,hehehe. I also prepared dinner and I made chicken with coconut milk and a lot of vegetables. Good thing and the kids were not complaining, they must be hungry,hehehe. We ate dinner late though coz they came home a little bit late. The father picked up the kids from the place of his wife's brother coz the kids spent the nights there and been there the entire day too. I also went down here in my apartment a little bit late, around 6:30pm.

Tomorrow, my duty will be back to normal, 7am. And I'm sooo excited coz they'll be leaving for the mountains on Wednesday and it means that I can have my day off too after cleaning the house. Hurrah!:)

Have a nice evening everyone and Happy Monday!

We had a nice HH

I'm referring to the Household(HH) prayer meeting that was held here in my apartment from 4pm to around 7pm. We were all happy coz we had an almost perfect attendance. Only one member was absent coz she went to Pinas for vacation and she's coming back tomorrow here in Norway.

We really had a nice sharing and we missed one another coz the last time that were all gathered was last December (our HH Christmas party) before our HH leader went home to Pinas for vacation. And after that, we already have joined HH with another group.

We're going to have reshuffle by April,so we'll have a new HH group. But it's ok, atleast I have good memories and experiences with my HH. I'm gonna miss their company, but we are still in one community and we'll be seeing one another in gatherings.

As planned, I attended the 2pm Tagalog Mass at St. Joseph Church. But too bad and I missed the blessing of the palms, but I didn't miss the Mass though. Some of my friends were teasing me coz of my attire,hehehe. I wore a blue dress, with a blue jacket and a blue bag.hehehe.

I've realized a lit of things lately and I promised to change my "bad" habits" and routines. And I hope that with God's grace, I'll be able to do it. I hope you had a nice Sunday too and Have a blessed Holy Week everyone!

A pleasant surprise from Google

Yesterday evening, I logged on to IZEA, trying to grab some opps. There were 3 of them available for me. And 2 of the opps bothers me coz the 1 says for PR2+ blogs and the other one for PR1+ blogs. So I was really wondering coz all my blogs have PR0 and how come the opps are available for me to grab. So I instantly click "my blogs" button to check and there was it, Google gave me a pleasant surprise,:) Julai's Corner is now PR2. I was really so happy and Google has finally heard my wish of giving me back my PR.

I also checked at PRChecker about the PR standing to make sure, and it was really confirmed, Julai's Corner is now having a PR2. Thank you once again Google and this calls for a celebration,:)

My other blogs have PR0 still, but I'm not complaining coz I know I'll gain back the lost PR in Google's due time, and I hope it will be soon.:) To Google, please, just don't take away my precious PR2 standing again. Thank you!

Craving for a cup of espresso

Here I am in front of lappy, trying to find ways to entertain myself as to forget the loneliness and boredom for a while. I'm planning to go outside to breath some fresh air and vacuum afterwards to finish my cleaning.

I already ate a lot of fruits (I bought apples, oranges & banana yesterday) and afraid that the supply won't last til Thursday with my eating speed,hehehe. But still, I am craving for something, something I don't usually eat or drink. Ahhh, I'm craving for a cup of espresso.:) Though I know well that I'll feel nervous after drinking a cup of espresso or coffee, but still I want to have a sip. But I know, I can't give in to my craving coz I don't have any espresso powder in here, let alone espresso machines to make one,:(

Poor me, so I'll just settle for a glass of milk before going out for some fresh air. More updates later then and maybe some photos of the surroundings.:)

Alone and lonely in here

I'm here in my apartment, alone and lonely.:( I used to enjoy the solitude of weekends that I spent here in my apartment. But this weekend is different. I'm longing for the company of my family and friends.:( It's not good to be alone all the time. I soo miss the laughter and the chika2x of my friends. And I'm seeing them this coming Thursday, so I have to carry the feeling for about 5 days,huhuhuh. Plus, I'm still in a fighting mode with the bf, so nisamot ang kamingaw.huhuhuh.

And I really don't know how to entertain myself here. I'm not in the mood to watch movies either. I had Wish Ko Lang marathon instead. I love watching WKL episodes and I havn't watched the February and March episodes, so I watched them all this afternoon. The stories of the people featured and helped by WKL were really inspiring. I hope WKL will keep on helping and I hope more programs like WKL will come to help the needy and the poor.

I already cleaned a bit here in my apartment. I only have to vacuum and I'm done. But I don't feel like vacuuming yet, so I'll blog here first,:)

Enjoy the rest of your saturday everyone!

I don't have a credit card

Yes it's true and I'm just glad that I don't have one so I'm free from the worries of having a bad credit standing.:) Not that I'm not good in paying debts, but because I'm worried that If I'll have a credit card, I'll be tempted to keep on shopping beyond my limit. And I observed lately that I can really spend a lot in shopping if tolerated.

If you are already having a bad credit standing due to unavoidable circumstances, don't worry coz BadCreditOffers.com is here to help you. Bad Credit Offers is a site specially created for people with bad credit standing to help them still avail of credit cards, home loans, auto loans, personal loans, and other stuffs despite their bad standing. So don't worry coz you can still have bad credit credit cards if you need one. Just visit their site for more details about their services.

Still wide awake!

It's already 1:46am here and here I am, still wide awake here in my apartment. I already watched the latest episode of America's Next Top Model Season 10 and been blog hopping and reading articles too. Though I have plenty of time, but I don't feel like watching movies tonight. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow coz I have nothing to do.

But I really have to sleep soon coz my eyes are already starting to ache. I know, I blogged earlier that I want to sleep early. I'm about to sleep though when I received a text message from the bf and we started fighting,nahhh too bad. So here I am, still awake and replying to his messages and keeping the fight active,heheheh.

He's planning to buy a van in the future

I'm talking about my brother who is currently working in Denmark now. We always talk through YM and we talk just about anything :plans, jokes, our family back home, and other stuffs. We are always open to each other. One time, he told me about his plan of joining the "paluwagan" with his friends there and save the money because he wants to buy a van after his contract there. He's been telling me about the plan even when he's still in Pinas and my Mama seems to agree about the idea because she's also tired of traveling with the motorcycle. She wants to buy a van where she can relax and travel comfortable coz in her observation, she's no longer comfy riding the motorcycle and according to her, it means that she's already aging,hehehe.

I think it's also a nice idea too and we have to settle for the van to accomodate our growing family.:) For sure, my brother will have more children in the future, so we need a huge mode of transportation for that,hehehe. Though I agree with his plan of buying a van, but I told him to wait and plan carefully coz maintaining a van is also not easy. And it will be better if he'll have a little business first before buying a van. With that, he can also use the van for business purposes. And I also told him to do a careful planning since there are still other things to be handled together with the act of buying a van. One is the paper works for the license and another is the Van Insurance which is very important.

We'll work hand in hand to realize this plan and I hope that we can really make it.:)

Not so cluttered

Your Mind is 37% Cluttered

Your mind is very free. You've liberated yourself from most worries and problems. And even if something does start to clutter your mind, you're easily able to let it go.

How Cluttered is Your Mind?

I guess the result is true,:) Coz these days, I don't worry much coz I know that God is always there to provide and help as long as I'll just do my best and be faithful to Him always.

Stop smoking and save more

This is the suggestion made by Fairinvestment.co.uk to all the smokers out there.According to the company's explanation, a smoker who consumes 20 cigarettes per say can spend more than £2,000 per year. Ohhh my, that's really a huge amount of money. so to all the smokers, you better quit smoking right now!:)

And according to the director of Fairinvestment.co.uk, it means that smokers have less money than non-smokers and making the smokers less likely to pay off their credit cards or Mortgages as quickly as somebody who doesn't smoke. So it will be a wise decision to stop smoking and put the money intended for buying cigarettes into savings or using it to pay off debts.

Tha Yorkshire Bank also supported Fairinvestment.co.uk's suggestion by stating that the 1.1 million Britons who quit smoking 12 months ago have since saved a collective total of £1 billion.

I read about this news from http://www.earth.co.uk. If you want to read more interesting articles, just visit their site.

It's weekend atlast!

Wheww!Time really flies so fast these days and it's suddenly Friday, my favorite day of the week,hehehe. I am just here in my apartment and I'm not going out this weekend. My household group in SFC will have our HH here in my apartment on Sunday after the Tagalog Mass at St. Joseph. So I'll just stay here and just go out to attend the Mass and come back here with my entire group.

There's a little change in my schedule starting this Friday. Before, I have to walk the eldest daughter to school and then I'll go right to my kuskos. But starting today, the parents will drive the child to school so I can stay and tidy up in the house before going to my kuskos. And I like the change coz this is want I want to suggest before coz I don't want to leave the house with some mess. And this morning, we started the new arrangement. My female employer stayed home coz the youngest child got sick. So I started tidying up late and started at my kuskos at 10am. I finished it at 2pm and I went to the grocery store to buy some fruits and milk for me. Right after coming back, I checked my email for a while and then, I sleep coz I was really tired from my kuskos.

And now, I'm already ok and I'm watching an episode of Kapuso Mo, hosted my Jessical Soho. But I'm planning to sleep early tonight and hope I can really do it,:)

Happy weekend everyone! God Bless us always!

Financial aid will be highly appreciated

Is a sentence coming from the bottom of my heart,:) since I am really in need of financial aid these days. About a year ago, I already paid in advance for a lot in the City of Tagbilaran. The cash paid was like an assurance that a lot was already reserved under my name. Aww, under my mother's name, coz it's Mama who is handling the transaction coz the program is offered to teachers.

This year, Mama and my bro urged me to pay the entire amount, so I can get the lot title. And because there was a Phase 2 launched just recently, so I decided to increase the size of the lot, instead of the original 100 square meter. Mama is going to make a follow up about it this summer vacation, so she has plenty of time to go to the city without making an absent from school. And so, I'm planning to pay the entire amount this summer too since Mama has the time to make the transaction. That's why financial aid is much appreciated these days,:)

I already saved some amount, but it's not enough yet. Hopefully, with my March and April salary, then the lot will be taken care of. But I want to look for another way just in case the money won't be enough. So I'm thinking of trying online payday loan since it's the in thing these days as an answer to quick financial needs. I already started surfing for payday loans sites and trying to see a site that will cater to my needs. I stumbled into Payday UK a while ago and it seems that the site is a nice one. I am still reading more about their site though. But the good thing is, I can borrow up to £750. And the way to avail of their loan is pretty simple. You just have to fill in their online application form, submit and wait for a minute or two if you are approved. If you are, then you have to give your bank account details so they can send you the money and also your debit card details so you can repay them during the payday. So it's really pretty simple and convenient too.

I'm going to read throughly the details about their site and I'm going to bookmark it so if in case I need more money for the lot, then it will be easy for me to avail of its online payday loan.

A very busy day

Thursday is always a busy day for me. But today, I've been very busy,:) I walked the child to school and afterwards, I had my general cleaning in my hostfamily's place. But before I started cleaning, I went down to my apartment first and checked about my cousin's departure. My 1st cousin left for Denmark at 4:40pm Pinas time via Hongkong Oasis. I didn't receive a text message from her, so I checked. Thanks God and her mother replied telling me that my cousin was already in the waiting area. And her latest text was in Hongkong, informing her mother that she's about to board the plane for London. Thanks God. I wish her a safe and sound trip to Denmark.

I finished my general cleaning at around 1pm. Then I also polished some silver spoons and candle holders as instructed by my female employer. And after polishing, I also removed the dried leaves outside. And I finally went down to my apartment to get some relaxation at around 2pm. I called my mother and we talked about a lot of things and she also asked me about my lovelife,hehehe.

I made pansit for dinner and it was timely coz the eldest kid brought a classmate home. My female employer was working late, so it was the father who handled the kids. The kids were misbehaving, so he's been raising his voice. He even put the youngest child to her room as a punishment. That's common here in Norway and also in DK. And I was smiling coz the visitor kid that fathers are always strict and mothers are not,hehehe. I was just listening to the conversation of the children in Norwegian and their innocence really made me smile.

The male employer asked me to look for the children for a while as he'll go shopping in the grocery store nearby. I said yes and sit with the kids in the sofa watching Aladdin. I really enjoyed the film and I'm thinking of borrowing the DVD to watch the entire film here in my apartment. I only heard about Aladdin and had never seen the movie before. I thought it was just a kiddie movie, but after seeing part of the movie, I suddenly realized that Aladdin is also for a "kiddie-at-heart" like me.hehhehe. I went down to my apartment at 7pm.

I chatted with my bro for a while, listen to music and made some order in my things. And blogging and surfing in between,:) I'm going to bed in a little while. I'm going to my kuskos tomorrow so I need a lot of energy,:)

Have a nice evening friends and have a goodnight sleep.:)

Unexpected good news

Hello everyone! how are you all? I'm fine here and I'm already off from work about 40 minutes ago. I'm really happy today coz I received an unexpected good news,hehehe. As I shared in my last post, nagkig istorya nako sa ahong amo ug usob gabii..Peace na mi pero di lagi gihapon cja mosugot nga manguskos pako ug weekend labi kay wa cja kaila sa family.. So mao to nga aho nlang gidawat bisan nanginahanglan unta ko ug kuarta.hehehe..

Pero ganinang buntag, maaju na kaaju ahong mood ni duty..sila pod,in good mood. Ug sa dihang nikalit ug ingon ahong amo nga baje nga pwede na kuno ko manguskos ug padajun sa weekend basta kay sila gihapon ahong first priority. If ever kinahanglan ko nila during the weekend, so di ko makakuskos..OF course ni tando ko kay mao man pod na ahong giingon sa ahong kuskos nga basta naa koy babysit or work sa ahong amo ug weekend, di ko ka work sa ila..mao to,perte nahong lipaya oiii..perte ka dakong smile ug thank you ang ahong natubag sa ahong amo.hehehehe..Hapit ko molukso sa kalipay.ahehehe. Nanguskos pod ko sa among silingan pero 1 hour ra ky wa kaajuy mga nilabhan nga pil onon ug plantsahon..Maaju noon ky nakauli ko ug sayo ug taas kog time sa net ug sa ym..heheheh

I also prepared dinner. I made laks with sauce for the adults and fiskesteg (fish fillet) for the children. There was still spring rolls left from the dinner I made yesterday. I ate some for lunch and 3 pieces I saved for the eldest daughter. And true enough, she ate 2 during dinner and left the one in the food container. After dinner, I cleaned the table and threw the piece of spring roll and then after few minutes, the child was screaming and angry because she can no longer find the spring roll in the fridge. And she got more mad after knowing that I threw it. Poor child, I really didn't know that she'll still eat it. Lesson learned: never throw leftover spring rolls away,ahehhehe.

Have a nice evening everyone. More updates later.

We had a talk already

If you can still remember, I blogged here yesterday about the argument that I had with my female employer. And I decided to talk to her once again to clarify things. Nagka istorya nami ug aho na nasulti ang ahong gibati..maaju gani kay bugnaw na ang utok sa bao ug nangaju man pod ug dispensa..ug gusto gihapon kuno nila nga mo work ko sa ilang family..so mao nga peace nami pero di na jud ko manguskos during weekends, kay mao na nay ijang gikasab an kay wa lagi ko magpahibawo nila about sa ahong kuskos ug weekend.na hala sagdi nalang. I know there's always a reason for everything. God has better plans. I truly trust in HIM.

Atleast, I can already sleep well tonight. Have a nice evening everyone and goodnight!

Somebody

I'm referring about the song by Depeche Mode. I soo love this song since my college days and it somehow describes my longing for a "someone to share my life with",aheheh. Here goes the lyrics:

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
Shell get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
Shell hear me out
And wont easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact shell often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone wholl help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I dont want to be tied
To anyones strings
Im carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when Im asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
Ill get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....

I'm soo inlove right now.hehehe

Pissed off!

Been off from work since 10 in the morning, but got the courage to blog in here just a minute ago. Too bad and the start of my week isn't right anymore! I'm pissed off on a Monday and not sure if the rest of the week will be ok.

Pasensya pero mag bisaya ko pra ma express naho tanan.

To the lucky winners of my secret contest

As promised in one of my posts titled "Belated Happy Birthday, Julai's Corner", I'm going to announce 2 winners of the little contest that I launched there. I know this is kinda surprising to most of you coz you havn't read it at all maybe. But in the longgggggggg post that I made, I did mention the contest in the last part (a raffle draw for all who will leave a message there) and I didn't promote it for experimentation coz I just wanna see how many will leave messages there without a notice,hehehe. But I only got a few, but it's ok though.

I promise to promote whatever fun that I'm going to host in my blogs, so that we can all have fun.

I'm suppose to only declare 2 winners, but since there were only 3 friends who left their messages there, so I'm going to award them all with the little amount I promised,:) To the lucky winners of my secret contest : Genny, Ate Mari and Ate Nitz thank you very much and kindly give me your paypal e-mail address so I can transfer to you the award.

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

A homey thought

I just stumbled into a home insurance site and after reading some of their home insurance quotes, I suddenly thought about our own home back in Pinas. I mean, we don't have a home insurance at all and I don't think it's common in my country. Maybe it is for the famous and wealthy people, but not definitely common in the rural areas where I live. But I'm thinking, is it important for us to get one?

To my blogger friends who also live in the rural areas like me, do you think it's necessary for us to get a home insurance? Share me your thoughts please.

Happy Sunday!

Yes,I'm already in my apartment, soo early from the usual "uwian" time.hehehe. I attended the 9:30am Mass with my friends and decided to go home directly to save money,:) Coz the others are going back to Ate Bren's place, if I'll do the same then I'm gonna spend 2 ways tickets in going home. So going home directly is the smart move,:)

The SFC GA yesterday was successful. The topic was about unity and we had fun with the games that followed right after the teaching. Unfortunately, my group was a loser and got some fun punishment,hehehe. I also bought some stuffs from the Asian store before going the G venue. And unfortunately, I lost my wool gloves while shopping. Tried to go back to the asian store and check, but it wasn't there anymore.huhuhu. Good thing and I still have a pair of wool gloves left,so I better be very extra careful with it.

The movie marathon here in my apartment is on,hehehe. So, more updates later friends.

It's detox time!

I already shared this in my health blog, but I don't think I did it here already. So here it is:

About 2 months ago, I surfed about detoxification and after reading a lot of articles, I was so convinced that I need to detoxify my body coz I havn't done it before. There were a lot of products on the net and I was almost convinced to buy one of them, but as I Googled it, a lot of people says that they've tried it already and it was not effective at all. So I did look for another products.

I looked for an online health store instead and found one based in the UK and glad coz they have a lot of natural products. Herbal as they are, so they son't have side effects. There were a lot of detox products, but I choosed one that's affordable for me and one that will also help me with my weight loss desire. I also ordered green tea capsules with it. The order was delivered 3 days after and I've been taking it for almost 10 days now and so far sooo good!

Good noon!

It's already 12:30 noon here and I'm still in my bed.:( I slept at 4am and woke up at 10am. I was having a movie marathon once again and a lot of surfing and blogging inbetween,thus, the so late...aww so early slepping session.hehehe. But I have to prepare in a little while coz I'm going to attend the SFC GA at 5pm. And my bf also says that we'll be chatting, so I have to get ready,:)

It's gloomy outside, but atleast it's not raining. I'm really enjoying my solitude here in my apartment. Have a nice Saturday everyone!

Spring is coming

Finally, winter is fading and spring is coming and I really love it. I'm longing for the sun to shine everyday.:) For almost 2 weeks, the sun is shining everyday and the weather is so nice. But 2 days ago, I was a little bit upset coz it snowed in the afternoon. And scared that it will last long, but good thing and it only lasted for about 30 minutes and it melted right away.

And now that spring is coming, I'm so excited to work in my employer's flower beds. They only have 2 small flower beds though. But I want to plant flowers, just like what I did in the garden of my hostfamily in Denmark. They have a huge garden in DK and my hostfamily was so happy of what I did coz their garden has been abandoned for years. They just don't have time to plant and when I came, it became lively once again. Good thing and my female employer in Denmark also loves flowers and we were team. We visited several garden buildings to look for good flowers. I can still remember clearly, me choosing some yellow flowers for planting. You see, yellow is always a part of my system,hehehe.

Anyways, I'm still up watching a movie and I'll post more updates later. And I promise to share with you my garden works this spring.:)

Knocked down!

Yes, it's true! I was knocked down after cleaning for 6 hours,:( But I'm not complaining though. Glad that I have some ways of earning extra moolah,:) I arrived here in my apartment at around 3:30pm. Looked at the net for about 1 hour and a half and dozed off afterwards for 2 hours. I woke up at 7pm feeling ok. I made some dinner and now I'm starting my movie marathon once again. I'm going out tomorrow though to attend the SFC GA at 5pm. But I'll go earlier coz I have to buy some things from the Asian store. The eldest child is requesting spring rolls on Monday, so got to buy some lumpia wrappers.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

General cleaning day

As usual, I did general cleaning in my employer's place today and it went fine.:) I finished at around 2pm coz I started late, coz I surfed a little bit right after coming from school (I walked the eldest child to school). My male employer is already home after skiing in the Alps with his co-workers. I prepared chicken with vegetables and cocomilk for dinner. But the female employer was not home thought coz she's meeting this some friends in the town. The children were really tired and their father said that he's going to put them to bed early coz it seems that the children has been to a war,hehehe.

And right after my work, I decided to clean my apartment. Atlast, I did it! Been wanting to clean the apartment since Monday, but the laziness is stronger than the urge to clean,:) And finally I conquered laziness today. Yeheyyy, I have to celebrate.hehehe.

If you want to join the a little fun, kindly read the post below this one.:) I hope that you also had a good day, just like me. I'm looking forward for the weekend. My hostfamily will be going away to visit some friends and I decided to just stay here in my apartment tomorrow and have another movie marathon,:) I'm going out on Saturday though to attend the SFC GA.

I'm going to sleep in a little while.Got to have a lot of energy for tomorrow coz I'll be having 2 kuskos,:) Have a nice evening everyone and have a nice weekend ahead!

Belated 1st year birthday, Julai's Corner

Time really flies so fast and I'm already one year in the Blogosphere.:)This blog turned exactly 1 year 4 days ago, March 1. But yours truly forgot it (bad!) and I just remember it yesterday as I was blog hopping. I forgot what triggers my memory though,:(

Exploring the blogosphere was not really in my mind before. I don't even know about it. All I care when I use the net is checking my mails and chatting, that is!:( Then, I stumbled into an article at MyLot (after few days of my registration) about making money online. I read it and someone suggested about blogging, that she's earning through it. She also shared on how to start blogging and listed several platforms. I used blogger then without even knowing why,:)I just followed the instructions and made my first post. And after that, I submitted my blog right away to Blogvertise coz she also mentioned about it. And luckily, I was accepted and received a task right away. I think I made 2 tasks with them and after that, the excitement over the new-found way of earning money died.:( And it's because I don't know exactly what to do, what blogging really means. Call me stupid for not googling it. But during those days, I don't really care about Google. All I care was chatting,:)

And thanks to Ate Nitz for teaching me the basics and the complications of blogging,hehehe. Yes, Ate Nitz is really my blogging mentor and I'll forever be thankful to her, coz without her help, I wouldn't be earning some extra moolah,hehehe. I asked a lot of questions to her and I tell you, I asked a lot of stupid questions and so glad that Ate Nitz has been so patient in teaching me. I really have a good blogging teacher, but don't blame her if I'm still ignorant about a lot of things in the blogosphere. But blame the student for her laziness is doing her assignments,:( Ate Nitz, once again thank you very very much for sharing your knowledge to me and for introducing me properly to the blogosphere. More power to you ate and God bless.

And as a way of celebrating the 1st year bday of this blog of mine, I'm going to have a little contest. Awww, it's not a contest at all, just a little fun. I'm going to make a raffle and I'll draw 2 names and those 2 names will win $5 each and I'll send it through paypal. I know my price isn't much, but it will be heartily given to the lucky winners. And for you to avail of the raffle, just leave some message here. I'll prepare small pieces of papers here and write the names of those who will leave comments. And this coming Sunday, after coming from the weekend, I'll draw 2 names and announce it here afterwards.

Come friends and let's have some fun,:)

Inspired to blog

Yes, it's true! I'm truly inspired to blog more these days coz of my new discovery, the beauty of tweaking HTML codes,hehehe.It's really fun and satisfying. Lastnight,I found nice templates that I want to apply to my blogs and I want to change some features, so I made some tweaking in the HTML codes with the help of Eblog Templates articles. I was able to make a new header (but I havn't use it yet) and I also installed the home-blogger template on my newest blog, Bucks from Home. Kindly visit my blog and let's exlink there.:)I slept at 2am lastnight because of my excitement with the HTML tweaking,hehehe. My happiness is just shallow you know!:)

I had some problems in installing the template, but it was already fixed, just this afternoon. And I found out that the problem was due to my IE. The newest blog is best viewed with Firefox. A lot of my blogger friends had already told me before to switch to FF. Sure enough,I did download FF, but very seldom use it. And the problem I encountered lastnight, made me an FF convert starting today,hehehe. I know this conversion is already late, but it's always late than never!wink*

She was impressed...

I'm talking about my female employer. She was impressed that I cleaned the glass window and the door and she told me about it yesterday.:) And I was glad. I'm always glad everytime they express their appreciation over my work,:)

I had a nice and smooth Monday. My male employer is away, don't where he goes though coz they didn't give the details. All he told me lastweek is that he's leaving on Sunday for a business trip. I'm supoosed to babysit yesterday evening while my female employer goes to the gym, but she cancelled it. She don't feel like exercising at all,:) I made chicken with vegetables for dinner and as usual, I heard some complain. The eldest child told me that she don't like the food and what she likes is spring rolls. I'm planning to make spring rolls today, but we don't have enough wrappers. I have to buy some from the Asian store. So, I'll be making pancit for tonight instead. Hope I won't hear complains this time,hehehe. They love pancit anyway.:)

Home atlast!

I went to Ate Bren's place yesterday around 3pm and arrived there at 4pm. I was just staying here in bed yesterday morning and continued my movie marathon since Friday,:) I really had fun watching movies on the net for free. What a lucky day for me,:)

I attended the 9:30am Mass today and went home here in my apartment afterwards. And at around 12:40pm, I walked about 20 minutes to my "kuskos". Yes, I worked for 4 and 1/2 hours today. And glad coz M. (the name of the woman who owned the house) was very satisfied with my cleaning and she gave me some extra.:) Whoahhh!!Thanks God coz I really need extra moolah this days coz I have to pay a piece of land in Pinas this coming March. So, I really have to work real hard.:)

I'm a little bit tired from work but it's ok. I have to go to bed early though to be fresh tomorrow for work. I have to begin my week right tomorrow. I'll sleep at 10pm here, so I still have 46 minutes to blog,:)

Hope you had a nice weekend everyone!
