Farewell 2009, Hello 2010!

Ten years ago (2000), I thought that the world was about to end. Year 1992 and I was in second grade when I heard the rumors that the world is going to end in the year 2000. I cried going home from School for one reason, I don't want to die early because I want to get married first and have kids before I die. My Mother told me that no one can tell when the world is going to crash. Of course I was happy afterwards knowing that I will be able to grow up, get married and have kids. That was my only dream at that time. As I grown older, I became more ambitious and realized what I wanted to do with my life, what I wanted to become and whom I wanted to marry. I never thought that growing up is difficult. You've learned to take responsibilities, to know the consequences of your actions and decisions. You've learn to make a mistake and be sorry afterwards, also you will learn to solve your own problems. When I look back to the year 1992, it seems that those days were the simplest days in my life. You have no responsibilities at all, no worries, no problems and no pains.

When I lose my Mother one and a half year ago, that's when I realized how I wanted to go back my childhood days. My childhood days was priceless, I have a mother who took care of me, preparing my meal, waking me up in the morning, scold me when I made a mistake, massage my back when I can't sleep from coughing, making me feel that I am being loved by her. I miss those days. If only I could turn back time, I will surely want to feel those moments again. But now all I can do is to cherish of those old memories here in my heart. Year 1992, 2000 to 2009....lots of events that happened in my life. I got married and take some responsibilities, I lose my mother and my brother. I felt pain, I was lost for awhile and now I'm back...trying to move on, look forward for the year ahead of me. I'm trying to pick up the pieces and put them together so I will be whole again.

As I bid farewell for the year 2009, I'm trying to say goodbye to my frustrations and pains. I hope, year 2010 will be a better year for me. Still, going for the extra mile on 2010.

Happy New Year to all!

Good To Be Back

It's been a while......

For the past few weeks that I was gone (from blogging), got lots of stories to tell. What keeps me busy, what happened to my life lately, why I didn't get a chance to update this blog and little things that I could share...not really interesting things but still, I'm gonna share it here. lol

Let me start with my job....okay, I got a new job (don't want to elaborate further 'bout my job). I mean I quit from my last job and transfered to this company close to my house. It is much easier for me plus they paid me a little bit more of what I earned before. It was a hard decision for me when I told my boss that I'm quiting. See, my ex-boss is very kind and considerate to me. When I have to go back to Philippines for a month, he gave me an assurance that when I came back, I still have a job. As I said, it was a difficult decision for me but I have to move on, he can't give me a raise (due to economic crisis) and he has to let me go. I remember him saying that " I deserve better" ( I think he was talking about the paycheck?). Also, he told me that if things won't go well on my new job, that I can come back to him and he will be glad to take me back ( that just flatters me).

I got a car...not a brand new car but am still proud that I got a car and am paying the monthly mortgage. I'm learning how to drive now and I planned to take my road test maybe by the end of this month or first week of November. Everything goes smoothly during my driving practice but there are really times that my husband and I are yelling with each other especially if he becomes so b*tchy about my driving. There's just times that I can't stand of his strictness when it comes to my driving. Okay, I understand that he wants me to remember everything he said but he get into my nerves sometimes, you know?

And the little things I want to share? hmnnnnnnnn....I think if you happened to read my previous posts, I have mentioned countless times how I love kdrama, but now I move up to the next level, I now love Korean music aka Kpop. Geezzzzz, have no idea why I got so hooked up with kpop when everytime I listened to the song I can't even understand the damn lyrics and can't sing along with the song since it's hard to pronounce their damn language but still I love kpop and am soooooo into for a certain boygroup/girlgroup in kpop world. Okay, let me spill it out for you guys...I love 2ne1 (pronounce as 21) and Bigbang. They are the first two groups I like to support in kpop industry. It's really entertaining to watch their vids/Mv's and to listen their music as well.

Check them out:

Bigbang

2NE1

If you are interested to kpop, just like me...you can check out their MVs/vids @ utube.

Okay...this is it for now. Lazy sleepyhead is signing off!

When Over Is Over!

I don't think I'm a bad person at all. Maybe there were times, I made mistakes and hurt people accidentally but that does not make me a bad person, right?

I have something to confess.

For few months, I was bothered by how I acted and treated the people I know...especially the people who are close to me. See, I have a friend whom I stopped talking to because I was mad at this person. Let us say, I hate this person but my Father in law keep reminding me not to use the word hate to refer to a person coz we should not hate a certain person. We can say we dislike them but not hate them. Okay, I dislike this person because, this person lied to me too many times. Sometimes, I thought, did this person even care how I think of him/her after I caught him/her that he/she lied? Did this person has an idea how I dislike him/her for telling lies then in the end I found out that what he/she was telling to me was all lie? I even hated myself for believing of what he/she said to me, everytime I found out that he/she was lying. For how many stories he/she made...for all the lies he/she told...I came to the point when I don't want to talk to him/her anymore. And that was it...I told myself this friendship is over coz I cannot trust this person. There's no sense of having a friend when you cannot even trust them. I stopped talking to this friend of mine coz I was fed up of everything he/she said. I dunno when to believe him/her anymore.

How can a person lie so easily? How can they make up stories and not even bothered the consequences after they were caught lying? I'm not a perfect person and am not tryin' to be. I did not say, I did not even lied once. I lied too...but I believe that there are certain levels of lying. This person I'm talking about is just a total LIAR.

Outdoors Equipments

I have mentioned too many times before how my husband and I love outdoors. We’ve been fishing, camping and boat riding during summer. In fact, last June my husband and I were in a furlough so we decided to visit my in-laws in Kentucky. It was fun for me and for my husband. Dad got a pontoon boat and Uncle Mark traveled from Indiana to Kentucky just to go fishing with us.

One time, they talked about going deer hunting this coming winter 2009 and I really want to go with them. I never have the chance to go deer hunting yet, I think it would be fun and exciting. The bad thing is, I don’t have an outdoor gear for deer hunting. Winter will be too cold for me and I guess I need very heavy clothing and winter accessories to keep me warm.

As early as now, I’ve tried looking for the gear that I need for deer hunting online and luckily I found this great zappos website and The North Face brand for outdoor gear. They sell quality and quantity products for outdoor gears, from men to women to kid’s clothing and accessories. They also have comprehensive collection of high-performance outerwear, skiwear, sleeping bags, packs and tents.

The North Face is a small mountaineering retail store in the heart of San Francisco's North Beach founded in 1966 by the two hiking enthusiasts. Later, it was known as The North Face and became a retailer of high-performance climbing and backpacking equipment. So, if you love the outdoors and have the desire to test the limits, The North Face equipment will help you on your adventure. Visit them now.

Lakers VS Nuggets

Have you guys seen the NBA play off last night of LA Lakers and Denver Nuggets? Okay, I'm not a basketball expert here but I do enjoy watching basketball. Basketball is one of my favorite sports. Last night, I got the chance to watched it on the television. My husband was not stingy enough to share his television with me last night. It's not that we only have one TV but isn't it nicer and more fun to watch games on a big TV? The one TV we have in our bedroom is a little bit smaller and it is not fun at all to watch alone especially if you are watching the team that you are betting on.

Last night, I was betting for Lakers to win and my husband wants Nuggets to win. I was cheering for Lakers and he was cheering for Nuggets. The game was interesting on the first half...I did not able to finish the 2nd half though because I have some opps to do last night. I found out when I woke up this afternoon that Nuggets won because my husband was smiling, telling me that his team won.

Ohh well, Kobe Bryant lose this time, tsk...tsk..tsk.

Enjoy The Summer Without Worries

Summer ’09 will be here very soon. For the people who love outdoors, this will be a good time to enjoy and have fun under the sun. But wait, there is a danger of staying outside, mosquitoes are everywhere and some of them are harmful. Some mosquitoes might carry many types of diseases that are caused by bacteria, parasites or viruses with them. Do you know what these diseases are? They are malaria, yellow fever, Encephalitis (Encephalitis is caused by viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes). There are several types of encephalitis that can be transmitted by mosquitoes and one of them is the West Nile Encephalitis. And then they have a Dengue Fever disease that is very popular in Philippines as well. I, myself, was once hospitalized because of dengue fever. My niece was once a victim of dengue fever also. That is why; we should be aware and put protection to avoid mosquitoes. The old ways of avoiding mosquitoes, is to have mosquito net, but isn’t it bothersome to bring and put up a mosquito net in the area where you and your family are having fun? Good news, there is a new way to avoid mosquitoes now a days. It is called, Mosquito Magnet. This thing is hassle-free and unlike mosquito net, Mosquito magnet is not annoying, it is odorless and silent to have. All you have to do is assemble it and place it 30-40 feet away from outdoor living areas. For more information about mosquito magnet, check out the mosquito magnet reviews or read the testimonials of the mosquito magnet users available at mosquito magnet website.

The "U" In Jesus

Let me share with you this beautiful and meaningful poem I found online.

Check out Small Business Loans for business financial problems.


The "U" in Jesus

Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God even stuck U in the name of His Son.
And each time U pray, you'll see it's true
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.
You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan.
The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all -Just like I love U."

So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?
It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know
But it all starts with U.

God Loves You

Does He really love me? That was my question a few months ago.

Few months back, I have never been to church, coz I felt bad and ashamed to face God after what I've done and said. Recently, I go back to His arms coz I know that I cannot make it through this life without Him and His guidance.

Those days that I've never visited God's house and just call him every once in a while, He reminded me, how good He was to me and how much He loves me. Everytime my husband and I went out for grocery shopping, we always passed a christian church and they have a sign board that says: God Loves You. And everytime I saw the said sign board, I felt guilty inside...

God loves me. I know how much He loves me. I know he loves me when He gave me a very good and loving mother who taught and guide me the right path. He gave me a very understanding and supportive husband. I have my beloved family that loves me as much as I love them. I have true friends that never leave my side when I needed them. Above all that, God heals my broken heart. He's always there to comfort me when I'm in pain. All I can say to Him is, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Quotes to share:

"God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm."
- William Cowper

Camper Parts

Around mid of June up to mid of July, my husband’s company will be having a one month shutdown. So, for one month my husband and I are not going to work, it means no money as well. He’s going to draw unemployment and I don’t know if I can draw unemployment by that time. Since we are having a month shutdown, we decided to visit Mom and Dad for a week in Kentucky. My husband planned to go camping when we are there. We might go to LBL (Land Between the Lakes) to camp.

Speaking of camping, I really wanted to have a camper/RV. My friend Mila got one and they really enjoy having their RV. I wish I could afford to get one someday. Summer is coming, it is camping time again, so if you are having problem with your RV and need Camper Parts to have it fix, don’t forget to visit campingworld.com. They have everything you need for your camper/RV, from accessories & equipments or just anything that you think you will be needed when you go camping. For people, who wanted to buy a brand new RV, you can also check out their website.

A Mother's Battle

It's been 8 months now that she is gone. I miss her so bad. I want to see her so badly. I'm wondering if how she's doing now. Is she happy right now? Did she get reunited with her parents and her two sons up there in Heaven?

For months, I can't talk about her coz everytime I started talking and mentioning her name I will start crying. I never knew that it will be this painful. I was lost for a while but I'm a lil' bit okay now and I'm ready to tell the whole story.

October 2006, was the last time I saw my mother personally. That was in Mactan Airport. My parents, siblings and friends were there to sent me off. That was my first time to came here in the USA. My mother was very healthy the last time I saw her and I never thought that I will not be able to see her, talk to her and hug her again.

May 2008, she was complaining that her right abdominal side was aching. We sent her to Cebu City to get a full body check-up. The doctor says, she was just having a stones in her kidney which was not alarming to us coz even before we knew that she had kidney problem. After a month, she started losing weight. My brothers and sisters got worried of her so they called and told me that they are going to sent Mama to the City again for another check-ups. This time, the doctor suggested to have CT scan, so she did. Waiting period.......

Late of June 2008, I talked to them in yahoo messenger. We have our webcam & speakers on. I saw my Mama and she really did lose a lot of weight. I can tell the difference just by looking at her face in the webcam. I was really happy seeing her and we have a good laugh while talking and then after a few minutes she decided to take a rest. I was talking to my sister about the CT scan result and here's the bad news, Mama has a liver cancer and got 5-6 months to live. I was SHOCKED!!! next thing I know, I was in the floor screaming. I dunno what to say at that moment..I can't believe it. Mama is healthy, she has no cancer, she's not dying....

I was in denial for a few days. I still can't believe that any time, she'll be gone. We asked for a second opinion from the other doctor but still the result was the same. She was dying and we can't do anything about it. She can't undergo chemotherapy coz her cancer was in terminal stage. So, what we can do? We'll just wait for her to say goodbye? The only thing we can do to save her at that time was PRAYER. We were hoping for a miracle but I think even prayers can't save her. Do you know the feeling that someone who is so dear to your heart is dying? The anxious feeling that maybe the next day when you woke up, she can't open her eyes anymore? It is a terrible feeling. I was too anxious to open my email address or to read my text messages from them coz what if it will be the bad news? I wasn't ready for her to go. Every night, I cried and cried, prayed and prayed that a miracle would happen.

September 03, 08 - was the last time I talked to Mama in the phone. I called them coz I got a text message from my sister that says Mama was too weak and if possible I should go home asap. But the time I talked to my mother, she was too happy and energetic, saying not to worry about her coz she felt better day after day. I told her I will go home on October 10, 2008 and she was too happy to hear it. She also told me that we could have our family reunion on that day.

September 07, 08 (SUNDAY, USA Time) - I finally have my ticket purchased for October 10, 08 flight. I was planning to call them the next day to surprise them. I was too excited...finally I can go back home, see my family again and might be my last moments with my mother. I may not ready to see her go but I know it will happen eventually.

September 08, 08 (MONDAY, USA Time) - Around 3PM that day, when I got home after my work, I got an offline message from my sister in YM. First message was, (Mama won't eat anymore and wanted to be hospitalized..please call when you got time). Second message, (Mama is gone. We can't do anything about it. Please be strong..we're waiting for your call.)

Mama died on Mama Mary's Birthday, Sept. 08.

After I read those messages, I dunno what to do really. I just got up from my chair and went directly to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink. After that, I called my husband and asked him to come home, that when I started crying and David asked me what's wrong...the only thing I replied to him was...MAMA.... please come home.

That's it! The doctor says my mother got 5-6 months to live but just two months after we found out that she has cancer, she lose the battle. She left...she's gone...FOREVER!!!!

I blamed God, I resented Him. I questioned Him. Where did my prayers go? Does miracle really exist? Why can't you save my mother? Did you really hear me? Can you hear me? I know I have no right to questioned him but at that time I was in pain. That time, all I think was My beloved Mama is gone and she can't talk to me anymore when I get home. She can't cry anymore when she see me instead, I was the one crying when I saw her in the coffin. And you know the saddest and heartbreaking part of all? That was the time when we were about to sent her off, knowing that, that was our last glanced of her and she's not coming back.....she's gone...FOREVER!

I JUST WANT TO TELL HER I LOVE HER AND HER MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IN MY HEART.




P.S. I am so sorry if I keep on posting sad stories in my blog. This blog is my only outlet to express my feeling. Hope you guys can understand.

Best Web Hosts 2009

There are countless of web hosting providers out there that tried to convince you to use their product. Two weeks ago, I got a junk mail from one of the web hosting company. They asked me to switch to their services and they offered me a really good deal. I was thinking of getting another domain but was willing to try to use their services but on the other hand, I was hesitant for the reason that I haven’t known how good their services, how reliable they are and if they can really meet my expectation as a web hosting provider.

As a customer, I wanted to be careful on choosing my web hosting provider. Of course, I was looking for a provider that I can trust with highest customer service, secure and reliable provider, and also with solid and honest business background, in that way, I can truly trust them. Web hosting rating is the biggest searchable web hosting directory featuring complete information on all web hosting providers, their web hosting plans, promotional and discount coupons, and unedited reviews by real customers. They got the top best web host for this year in an affordable price. Bluehost Inc is one of their best and you can get it in a cheap price.

Staying Alive

Live, laugh, love - that's how life should be.

Let me share with you a line from one of the Korean drama that I watched. Since the time I got addicted to Korean dramas, this is my first time to hear such line that I can relate to. As I have mentioned many times on my previous posts that I lose my mother and my brother not too long ago.

This line was delivered by the lead actor Hyun Bin in the drama Snow Queen. He said this line when the lead actress was about to end her life because she was too tired of living from depression, sadness and she was tired of being lonely.

" I won't ask you what was wrong or why you had to do this,
but I'm asking you to live. Even if dying is better than living,
still, live. Staying alive is better. Live and regret, live and suffer."

I came to the point in my life when I think that dying was better than living, but I still live, because I know that staying alive is better than dying without fighting. In life, there will be sadness, frustrations, problems, pains, heartaches, loneliness, regrets, sufferings, tears and laughter and most of all there will be happiness. Life goes on and just remember that there will always be a sunshine after the rain.

Life Must Go On...

For the pain that I've been through, for all the problems and trials that I've encountered, I can say that I am stronger now than before. It is really true that tough times will make us stronger. Now, that my brother's gone, I felt the big responsibilities on my shoulder.s I felt that little by little I matured.

I questioned/blamed God for what happened but now that I'm calmed and accepted what God wants for my family, I want to get closer to Him as close as I could. I have no one to run to now or no one to hold to, except Him. I know He has reasons for everything that happened to my family. If it's His will, I would gladly accept it coz I know he won't give me problems that I can't handle and I trusted Him coz I know He loves me so much.

Life must go on....I know for sure that Mama and Manoy (Big Brother) are happy in God's side now. I gotta be good so one day, when my time comes...I can see my love-ones again, up there in Heaven.

God Bless you all!

Hassle Free Shopping

I have mentioned on my previous post that I broke my husband’s digital camera. He was a little bit upset about it so I told him that I’m going to replace his camera. I’m going to buy the same brand of the camera that he has but not exactly as what he had before. His camera was a little bit expensive and I’m pretty sure I can’t afford it right now. I was looking for cheap Olympus camera online and started to compare prices.

I found the best way to shop online, you just have to visit shopwiki website and they will provide the products that you’re looking for. They have everything you need from accessories to jewelries, sunglasses, electronics and many more. As for accessories, they have accessories available both for men and women. Winter fashion accessories are also available at shopwiki such as scarves, gloves and winter socks. They also have fashionable sunglasses available for men and women. As for the people who love jewellery so much just like my friend Mila, there is tons of jewellery and watches available from different stores such as necklaces for men and women, wrist watches, pendants and even your birthstones.

I found the camera I like to buy at shopwiki and I will let my husband know about it so we can decide when to buy it.

I'm In Pain....Again!

Does God think sometimes that I'm a robot and won't feel any pain?

Six months ago He took my mother away from me. That was the most painful part of my life. That was the first time I felt hurt and lost. I felt like my world completely stop when Mama left me without saying goodbye. I was regretful after Mama left coz I wasn't able to do the things that I promised to her..I thought she will always be there and it didn't come to my mind that one day she will left me and she will be gone forever. I admit that until now I can't be able to let go Mama...and am still grieving for my loss and yet God took away another person who is important in my life again. Just earlier I received a text message from my sister, asking me to call coz there was an emergency...My brother was brought to the hospital and was unconscious...got three text message from her asking me to call and when I'm about to call them I received the 4th text message but did not able to read it since I was dialing their number already...when she answered the phone and said hello..I asked them what's wrong ang felt deaf for a minute when she says that our eldest brother's gone.

My brother is gone and how should I react to it? How should I react to that kind of news? I am not over with I have been through with Mama yet....that was just six months ago when I went back to Philippines to attend her burial and now here's another family member who left without saying goodbye again. My eldest brother who stand like our second mother to us. How could God do this to my family? I know it is not right to question Him but in times like this that I'm lost and in pain...I can't help myself but question Him. Where did my prayers go? Is he measuring my faith in Him? If this is His way to measure my faith ...well this is just too much for me to handle. I know that I'm not in the position to question Him coz as they say that everything happens for reason and God has a purpose for taking away the people I love but can you blame me if I acted this way?

Snow on Spring Season

As far as I remember last Sunday (March 22, '09) was the first day of Spring season. Just last week, the weather was really good and the temperature was in 65-70's already but the other day we got a snow storm watch. This morning when I woke up it rained outside and around 11AM we got big snow flakes and the ground started to be covered with snow. We are supposed to get 4-6 inches of snow and as I wrote this entry it is still snowing outside.

I took some pictures earlier when the snow started and am goin' to share it here. Unfortunately, I can't take more picture tomorrow anymore coz I just broke my husband's digicam earlier when I took the picture. I felt sorry for my husband and I know he's a lil bit mad at me but what can I do? It was an accident. The camera is very precious to me as well but it just slipped to my hand and fell into the ground. That's how I broke it. Whoaaaahhhhhhhhh...Baby, if ever you will read this post of mine...just wanna say "I'm sorry".

Foolish Love

I'm back again to blogging. It's been weeks that I haven't checked my blog site and I know I haven't update this site for a while. Hopefully this time I will be into blogging again...just the last few weeks I was too lazy and don't have anything in mind to post here.

For a few weeks that I was away from blogging...I was busy watching Asian dramas and again I found an interesting and cool Korean music. As usual I don't understand the lyrics of the song but I love to listen to it. The title of the song is Babo Sarang in Hangeul (Korean language). It means foolish love in English. This song is sung by one of my favorite actor in Korea Mr. Lee Jun Ki.

See how sexy and a good dancer Lee Jun Ki is.

Meal Replacement

There are certain times in our daily lives that we got so caught up and always on the run to finished the tasks that we need to do for the day. When I was in College, I was also a working student, so I tried to balance my work and my studies. Oftentimes, I cannot eat my breakfast because I left in my house too early in the morning so that I won’t be late for work. I was too skinny back then and I became a sickly person. The doctor told me that it was because I’m lack of essential nutrients that my body needed. I’m glad to have found the product called meal replacement. This product is good and suitable to all busy people out there who sometimes forgot to eat their meal because of work. Protein Powder is one of the products of meal replacement. This product is usually sold in powder or bar form and come in a variety of flavours. Some are sold as convenient sachets of individual serves, while others come in bulk containers.

Confession!!!

I found a Korean song that I love to hear every now and then. Strange thing is that I love to hear the song even if I don't understand the words in the lyrics. I don't understand what's the message of the song. All I know is that the song is all about confession of love. It is titled Go Baek in Hanggul (Korean language) mean Confession in English. The song is sang by Lee Soo Hoon...the reason why I found this song is that this song is the OST (Official Sound Track) of my favorite Korean movie "A Wolf's Attraction" lead by my favorite Korean Actor Lee Dong Won.

Anyway, let me share to you my favorite Korean Song with lyrics.



Go Baek - Confession - Lee Soo Hoon

If big companies got affected with the economy crisis, how much more are the small businesses? There are ways to keep your small business alive during this turndown, the best way to grow your business is to advertise, let the people or consumer know that you are in business and what type of services you offered.

It's Been A While...

I know it's been a while since my last post. I was kinda busy and tired these days to update my blog. You see, at work I was working really hard coz our Boss laid off two people so I got more works to do now than before but I it's okay atleast I still have a job, right?

A lot of things happened to me for the past days while I was gone from blogging. I wasn't able to update my daily activities here plus I was tired grabbing opps from PPP. I hope economy would pick up very soon, so I could find me another job. The bad thing about this economy is that my Boss freezes our raise for this year. Grabe.......na feel jud nako ang krisis sa ekonomiya!

Going Down Down Down...

Couple of weeks ago, my friend and I talked about the economy crisis that we are experiencing right now. I remember I told him that I can't feel the economic crisis and he replied that the reason we didn't felt how bad the economy now is that him and I are poor already so, we are not really affected with the economic crisis thing. I guess I was wrong when I said that I can't feel the economic crisis coz just last week my husband's company announced that they are going to lay off 200 people. I'm not sure if my husband will be included of the lay off but I'm praying that he wouldn't. My gosh..what we gonna do with the house payment and the truck payment every month? I don't wanna lose my house.

By the way, I know that everyone is experiencing the economic crisis but I know there are still people who didn't get affected to this thing and would still love to travel. Use Orbitz Coupons to save a little bit for your travel expenses.

Flooded Basement

Have you ever experienced having water in your basement? Unfortunately for me, I woke up one morning and found out that the water in our basement is up to my knees (Wet Basement). I have a panicked at that time coz I wasn’t expecting that the house that we just bought have a problem like a flooded basement. I saw some of our things floating; good thing is that I put all of our important things in the main room so it hasn’t damaged at all but I saw that our basement wall was damaged because of the water. We called up some companies who could possibly repair our basement pipes so that the water will drained but they told us to wait like three days or so because they are busy and we don’t have an early appointment. It was really frustrating to know that they couldn’t help us right away, we are ready to pay for the cost anyway.

Just today I learned about water restoration 911. They are the people who can help you 24/7. If you got a problem about water damage, water restoration, Wet Basement or water in basement, basement leak or a broken pipe, carpet drying, fire water removal then don’t hesitate to call them at their hotline number. Just dial 1-877-FLOOD14. If I have known about this water restoration 911 thing before, I wouldn’t have to worry about our basement at that time.

So, What's Your New Years Resolution?

What kinds of New Years Resolutions will you make for yourself? Did you start doing what you listed in your New Years Resolutions list? As for myself, I just start doing little by little of what I have in my list.

Here's mine:

1. I will keep my house clean. (I'm not going to say that I will get my house clean coz I cleaned it already so am going to say I will keep it clean from now on.)

2. I will wash the dirty dishes after I eat.

3. I will do my best to learn how to drive before this year will end.

4. I will try to exercise regularly to lose a lil' bit of weight.

5. I will avoid eating sweets. (I swear, I wanna do this!)

6. I will control myself on my addiction. ( Watching Korean dramas. Darn! this dramas made me lazy.)

7. I will avoid arguing with my husband over lil' things. (Hay....ambot lang!)

8. I will call my family back home as often as possible.

9. I will minimize my mañana habit. (Dunno what mañana habit is? google it.)

10. Lastly, I want to be a much better person this year and for the years to come.

I guess, that's it! I don't want to make my list longer coz am afraid I can't do it all. Sayonara! Kamza Hamnida for visiting my blog. Saranghae............

No More Sleepless Nights

I am being known as sleepyhead. Since I was young my parents have hard time getting me out from my bed. Now, it’s my husband who has hard time waking me up every morning. I just love sleeping. I think if I’m going to be asked about my hobby my reply would be sleeping. When I woke up in the morning, I make sure that I have eight hours of sleep or more. Again, that’s why I’m being known as sleepyhead, right? Just because I love to sleep means the bed I’m going to use does not matter to me.

Back To Work...

Darn...seems like time flies really fast. My two weeks vacation was over. I've noticed that when I'm working the time's moving really slow but when I'm off from work...I didn't even noticed that my rest days was over. For my two weeks vacation I didn't able to do much in the house...Well, I have done my general cleaning and was able to unpacked the four boxes that was piled up in one room by that time we moved here in our house and that was 8 months ago? Whoaaaaa...those boxes was piled up for too long and I was unpacking it a week ago? Yeah..I know I'm lazy...sometimes hehehehe!

Alright....Ms. Sleepyhead is signing off. I need to wake up early tomorrow for work. I don't want to go back to work really, but the other side of me wants to go back to work too for the reason that I need some greenie..."MONEY". I'm broke for two weeks, you know.

When Will Be Your Next Vacation?

When we think of having a vacation, it is for us to relax, enjoy and of course to visit some cool places and attractions at the same time resting our self from stress because of work. My two weeks vacation was just finished, yet I didn’t able to enjoy myself while on vacation. My husband was sick and I can’t leave him behind while I’m wandering around and enjoying myself. But if I’ve given a chance to have another two weeks vacation again, I would probably go to other states, like New Jersey maybe? I heard that New Jersey got many attractions to visit for their tourists. One of their greatest attractions is Morey’s Piers. Morey’s Piers is a great place for a “New Jersey Vacation” and their website is the place to find hotels & motels in Wildwood and also Morey’s is the largest amusement piers in the world! . They also have Holiday sales at Morey’s like a Season Passes for 2009, Holiday Tickets, gift cards and more. Their Holiday sale offer is valid from December 1 to January 9 of the current year plus you can save nearly 40% on a Season Pass to both water parks. What are you waiting for? Plan your Jersey Shore beach Vacation now before its too late. Morey’s Piers is not the only attractions of New Jersey, they also have Resorts in Wildwood NJ and the Jersey Shore where you can enjoy your stay at a peaceful and relaxing place.

Drama Quotes

Since I really love watching dramas online (Korean, Taiwanese, Filipino, Japan) I've noticed and jotted down some interesting lines from the dramas I've watched. Let me share some of the quotes/lines to you guys.

Nice men are ugly
Handsome men are not nice
Handsome and nice men are married
Handsome, nice and unmarried men are useless
Handsome, nice, unmarried and rich men are not interested in us
Handsome, nice, unmarried, rich men who are interested in us are players
Handsome, nice, unmarried, rich men who are interested in us and faithful are homosexuals
Handsome, nice, unmarried, rich men who are interested in us, faithful, straight and who would not lose interest in us even if we made the first moves - those men must have problems!
-My Name is Kim SamSoon (Korean)

"A girl is just too innocent when she is fooled on the first time.
But she is too naive if she is fooled for the second time.
And if she is fooled for the third time, she is simply stupid."
-Fated To Love You (Taiwanese)

"There are people in this world who try to hurt you, but there are also people who get hurt because you're hurt."
-Devil Beside You (Taiwanese)

This last one is not from an Asian drama but this come from a very good movie "Forrest Gump". I've watched this movie maybe 2-3 times already.

"Stupid is as stupid does. "

" I'm not a smart man...but I know what love is."

Time To Lose Some Weight

When we say Holidays it means preparation or celebration and when there is celebration of course there will be food too, right? I knew that a lot of people are cooking homemade foods for the holiday and yeah, you can never go wrong with homemade foods, they are indeed delicious than the one’s we bought from restaurants. I love homemade foods too. But when we are on a diet, we sometimes hesitant to eat all the food we want for the reason that we might messed up our diet or we worry to gain more weight. But what the heck, holidays comes just once a year so why not put all your worries behind and attacks the food?
