Outdoor Fireplaces

Oh no is snowing once again in our area. The snow is getting so old for all of us here specially for the kids because they are dying to go outdoors. I just wish that we have one of those outdoor fireplaces where you can enjoy outdors even in this kind of weather. I am praying that Winter will be over soon and will soon see the signs of Spring.

Lockable Tonneau Cover

My husband drive our car every day from home to school and vice versa. Sometimes he is driving the truck just to work its engine up. One thing about having a truck is that you can use it whenever you have to get a lot of stuff from the store. That's the main reason why we bought a truck. When my husband and I started renovating our basement 2 years ago, we needed a vehicle that he could from going back and forth to the hardware store. He bought a used Ford F150 with bakflip tonneau cover.

A backflip tonneau cover is also available at RealTruck. This is a great accessory to have for your truck as it fully lockable and easily folds up for you to access your truck in full. It is affordable and easy to install. So if your husband has a truck and would like to try this backflip tonneau cover, just visit the website I have mentioned above.

Quickie

Just a quick update here folks, thanks to all who visited and commented on my update. I am definitely missing the blogging world and your blogs. I hope that the 5 remaining days will be over soon.

Prescription Eyeglasses

When I had my physician's visit two weeks ago, the doctor asked me what are the possible causes of my head aches. He also asked me if I am using my eyeglasses. I told him that I only use it when travelling. He said that my eyeglasses might need a replacement since I haven't using it all the time as I suppose to. So now, I am looking for some discount prescription eyeglasses for my next pair.

Secure your Home

Having kids is the most joyful experience you could ever have in your entire life. It brings harmonious relationship and strong bond between couples. It also brings worries sometimes to parents with all these horrifying news you see and hear in media. Sometimes, it gives parents some paranioa to make sure that their home is safe and secure. Some family homes uses the most effective security there is, the ADT . I was bloghopping last week when I stumbled upon a blog post that talked about the ADT Security. As a parent myself, I am curious about home security so I dig further by clicking the link that the blog owner had provided and found the Home Security Team website. Based from the article I have read in their website, its sound pretty convincing. If you are currently using ADT Security System, would you recommend it to us?

Flock of Seagull

When we went to the mall on pre-valentine day, we planed to hit the Chinese Restaurant have lunch there but when we arrived, our little burritos were taking a little snooze so hubby decided to just buy some take out. While I was waiting for him, I busied my self taking pictures of the flock of seagull in the parking area

Sled Riding

Our kids asked us if we could take them sled riding at Pap's side yard. so we took them the other day after my husband's school. We did not stay outside very long because the snow was so deep that it was so hard for us to walk on the snow.

Thanks for dropping by folks. I want to share the Friday Follow with you. Hope you can join us for fun!

Anime Yourself

The art of Anime was created in Japan almost 100 years ago but its popularity in Japanese comics and cartoons didn't emerge until many years later. Just in the past decade, an immense popularity, for this unique art, has swept across the globe and has captured the hearts of people everywhere, especially in the cyber world. Today, you will see widespread use of Anime characters in online chat rooms, webpages and blogs, advertising, and in television programming. I've even seen some really comparable celebrity look-a-likes portrayed as Anime characters. If you've ever wondered what your Anime character would look like, now is your chance to find out.

Now you can Anime Yourself with some really awesome software and dress up your blog, Facebook, or MySpace site with your own personal touch. After all, we're all tired of using the same old Anime characters that have been circulated to the point of ultimate boredom. Now you can create an eye-catching cartoon likeness of yourself and attract a ton of attention. The software is completely compatible with Facebook and MySpace so getting your character posted is easy and won't cause any unwanted issues. To create your own personal Anime character, simply click on the helpful link above and start by choosing male or female. Think of the fun you could have by creating a female Anime character of one of your male friends or a male character of one of your female friends.

I am not really into this type of thing but when I had kids, I learned to appreciate stuff that is very entertaining to kids. My daughter love dressing up and this Anime Yourself is a great avenue for her to develop her sense of fashion. She is addicted to dressing up with princesses in the computer but now that I found this anime website, she can now switch her interest into something new.

Wordless Wednesday

Can you guess what he is writing/drawing?

Washing Machine

When we were in Korea, the washing machine that was in the house we lived in was a bit old and it's one of those old type top loader. It made me miss our fron loader washing machine here. But now that we're back, I am back on track and lovin it. I love front load washing machine because it is easier to load and unload your laundry compared to the top loader one.

If you are looking for unbeatable prices of Washing Machines, just visit the link of thois post and you will see a lot of great choices from that store. What I like about the site is that you are given a chance to compare the prices of different washing machines plus you will get to read all the reviews both from experts and users as well. The reviews will give you an edge and idea on how the certain washing machine performs. You can browse for washing machine by brands so finding the right one that you are looking for is not hard at all. Reading reviews are always helpful for consumers. You also find great savings through price comparison so head on to the website and start comparing prices before you shop.

Simple Things are Treasures

My sister-in-law drove by our house and left her cards for my kids on the night of the 13th. Thanks Chris, you are the sweetest Valentine's fairy there is.

When we went to the mall last Saturday, my husband kept asking me what do I want for Valentine's day even if I already told him a gazillion times that I don't need anything. He even stopped by at Victoria's Secret but again I insisted not to get me any. For me a card is more than enough!

Here's the message:

We've shared a lot of happiness,

We've seen dreams come true,

And every now and then

we've had our share of worries, too...

But everyday our love has grown

Still deeper than before,

And with each passing year

I know I'll love you even more

I will always love you Hon forever and ever.

Hubby

See simple things are the best treasure there is!

Satisfying my Cravings

Being away from my origin country is hard especially when it comes to the food that you used to eat. I crave for them sometimes. Good thing hubby is a great provider, whenever we go to the asian store, he would let me buy those foods that I want even if they don't eat it just to satisfy my cravings. I actually was hesitant to try this belt fish then but he said for me to try it, now I love it.

Mud Flaps

The color of our Honda Accord is white so it is easy to get dirty especially during rainy days and winter times when the snow are finally melting. Right now, it needs cleaning so bad from all that driving that my husband does everyday going to and from school and home. You will see th thick mud that accumulated from the tires. How I wish that we have those mud flaps you bolt or screw at the body of your vehicle's fender. This eliminates the mud from splashing into the body of the car.

But anyhow, if you are looking for mud flaps to put into your car, visit Real Truck's website where you can see and find different kinds of mud flaps. They offer Macneil weathertech mud flaps which features undeniable protection, contoured fit, molded design, and no drill install. These are available for most trucks and SUV's. Speaking of Truck, our poor Ford F150 is still buried in snow until now. My husband cleaned up one of the sides so he can start the engine up but then we had another snow fall yesterday which buried it again. I hope that winter will be over soon because it is hard to drive on the icy road.

Pancit

I cooked the last pack of pancit yesterday. I used the left over steak that we bought from the chinese resto for the sahog, added some veggies and oala, instant yummy noodles dish na. I love cooking pancit because all of us eats it, my kids and husband love and so am I.

Houston Rodeo Concerts

Hey there cowboys, would you be interested in catching a Rodeo Concert in Houston? Now is the perfect opportunity to buy your RodeoHouston tickets, by simply visiting Team One to see the line up for 201 Houston Rodeo Concert. My husband loves country music. Some of his favorite artists include famous musicians like Brad Paisley Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, and Alan Jackson and I have to admit that I like them too. I also like Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban's songs so it would be nice to watch a concert put on by one of these artists too. Their concerts are lined up for this coming March.

The Jonas Brothers have a concert this March as well, so if your teenagers are fans of this popular boy-band, this is a great opportunity for them to see their idols live, in concert.

Steak con Maize and mashed potatoes

When my husband asked for Steak the other day, I enticed him with Filipino dishes instead and I was glad that he agreed. The next day, I prepared his cravings just to balance our food likings hehehe. We had steak, corn, and mashed potatoes. We did not have mashed potatoes gravy so I used the Mang Tomas sauce instead and it was delicious.

You don't have to go out to eat fab meal, you can prepare it at home too, its cheaper.

Data Center Solutions

My husband decided to just buy a router for us to have an additional internet connection our bedroom instead of having a cable installed. But before we did that, we asked the technician from our service provider about it and he explained to us everything including the possibility of using KVM switch and other stuff to make the LCD drawers integrated into the system.

Snowing Again. and Again..

When I woke up this morning, I checked the temperature outside from the thermometer and it was 8 degrees. The weather advisory says we will be having 6-10 inches again today. The snow started falling at 3 pm today and now we have about 2 inches accumulation already. Hubby said that he slid while he was driving today from school. I hope that they will cancel his class tomorrow.

Blinds need Replacement

When Spring rolls in, we need to do some serious cleaning because all the windows are a little filthy already from all those dust that were accumulated when we were not here. We also need to replace one of the blinds at our window in the bedroom. One of its piece fell of. I have been browsing some blinds selection online and kinda like the bamboo sliding panels like the one in the photo below. But of course I can't buy it coz then we have to replace the whole blinds in our windows. So I need to find the model of the one we have.

From California with Love

A very good friend Dhemz of the My Life's Perception & Inspiration sent us some goodies that she brought with them when they had their vacation from the Philippines. We loved all of them! Ubos na actually yung sweets lol.

Thank you so much sis!

PC Game

Does your child play games on your computer? I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing because I don't really want my daughter to get engaged into PC games. Sometimes my husband would let her play in it but not too long. But other children are free to play in it as they are on the right age already. So if you have a child who really love games, an xbox 3 month membership would be good for them. You can buy and get the xbox 3 month code by visiting pcgamesupply.com or if you would prefer, the xbox live 3 month gold card is much better.

Love your Heart

One of the dishes that we had for the Valentine's day celebration was the pasta and home made sauce that Chris made. We made meatballs and also put some sausage and ribs on the sauce. It was good. NOw that we're back here in the mainland, hubby found out that it was really his heart that had a problem when we were in Korea. Below are some heart smart recipes from nubella.com.

Valentine's Day may be over, but it's important to be heart-conscious all year 'round. Enjoy low-cholesterol creations such as Pasta Primavera andPotato Olive Casserole. Serve with a green salad, drizzled with Citrus Vinaigrette.

Option Trading

I was paying bills online the other day and decided to check the mutual fun and the small amount of stock that my husband bought a couple of years ago. When the stock market crashed, the value of the said stock almost reached the very bottom line. When I check it this time, I was so happy to know that it is going back up, yay!

I excitedly told my husband about it and I said that we have to sell it now while it gained a little return from the investment and he said to just wait. He has been reading and studying this option trading online at Wicked Profits and he told me that he is confident about the investment. I don't have a strong heart when it comes to investment so I trust my husband to deal with it. Whenever I see it going down, it get me disappointed really easy.

Champ got Scolded

My husband scolded our dog Champ the other day because he did his business inside the house. He let him out the house and after a while he called him back in but Champ just looked at him so guilty and sad. My husband told me about it so I went in the door and took a picture of him.

Runescape Cursors

I have come across pretty cool looking cursors in some of the blogs that I have visited and I find it entertaining especially those that are animated. I never tried fooling with it since I am an old maid novice when it comes to tweaking features to put in a blog hahaha. So when I came across the website that offers free Runescape Cursors, I got curious and dig into it a little deeper. What I like about the Runescape Cursors is the fact that it is very easy to download. They offer more than 100 cursors or pointers that are ready to download for anyone who wants to try it for free.

Some of the designs I like includes the Easter Egg, Abbysal whip animated cursor, cooked sharke cursor and the party hat cursor. There's a lot more to choose from so if you want to try it out, just click the link above and download the one that you like. THe instruction is very easy to understand that even a novice like me can follow. RuneScape Cursor can be added to myspace, Hi5, Blogger, Xanga and more. Don't worry because their application is free from adware or spyware and there's no registration required.

Sale

When my husband and I went to the store the other day, I saw a rack of clothes on sale on the side of the store so I browsed on it and found this Miley Cyrus shirt for 3 bucks. I bought it as my work out top.

Hey its only 3 dollars so CHEERS!

Web Directories

The first thing that I did when I created my two blogs was to submit it in web directories. It helps in making your site crawl all over the internet. It also help in increasing the traffic that is coming to your site especially if you use the services of the best paid web directories. Paid directories focuses mainly in promoting the keywords that describes your site in order to greatly promote it.

Snuggle in a Mink Blanket

I usually sleep late so I can do some blogging when the kids and hubby are sleeping already so in the morning when its very cold, I feel so lazy getting up. Hubby sneaked in the other morning and took a picture of me still snuggled in a mink blanket lol.

Eczema

When we had our vacation in the Philippines last year, I noticed that one of my nephew had an eczema. I asked my sister what kind of medication she is using to treat it and she told me that she was just using a herbal medicine. I encouraged her to take her son to the dermatologist to properly treat it as it looks raw already. I am glad that she listened to me, it was a little better already when we left.

Another busy Day

Alrighty folks, how is your day today? Mine is pretty busy that is why I wasn't able to participate to the Friday meme's that I used to play with. I'll just catch up next week. I am now doing the laundry because we might go somewhere tomorrow if the weather permits. while doing that, I am also updating blogs. Whew, mom's work is never finished.

Wrinkles on my Face

When my husband took my picture the other day, I saw a big lines of wrinkles on my temples. Wahhh my age is showing on my face already. That is why as much as possible I see to it to wear a smile on my face to somehow hide those signs lol. I guess I have to start looking for the best wrinkle creams in the market if this wrinkle becomes so visible. Oh well, everybody gets it at old age right?

Migraine

My main concern of going to the doctor is to consult with my migraine. He gave a prescribed a medication for me to take each day which will prevent the migraine headache. I had an EKG today and there's an irregularity seen on the result so the medicine he gave me for the headache will also address the irregularity of my heart. My weight was 95 lbs and my blood pressure is 98 over 180. This will serve as my medical record for now lol.

Diet Supplement

Did you know that my husband used diet supplements then? Yup, he told me that when he was just new in the military, he needed a second job so he had to work during night time after he got off from his duty on the ship. He said that it helped him maintain his normal weight. When I met him though he was extremely fit and muscular coz he was doing his sailor duty only so he had a lot of time to work out.

Skin Rash

I have a skin rash at the back of my neck and it is very itchy whenever I ate chicken or fish. The dermatologist who is also our family physician treated this before we went to Korea and he prescribed me an ointment to put it it. It went away for a while then when I ran out of the ointment, it came back. This time, the doctor gave a me a different medication. I hope that this will take care of this annoying rash.

Fat Loss Pill

As I was browsing online yesterday, I came across a blog that talks about fitness and one topic that the author discussed is the fat loss pill. The author mentioned that due to her hectic schedule at work and at home, she did not have time to work out so she resorted to taking diet pill to loss the unwanted fat in her body. The article reminds me of those celebrities, who after giving birth, they immediately return to their "wow" shape. I think some of them takes weight loss pills too. What do you think?

New Teeth

Our dog Champ is losing his baby teeth which we are so glad about because they were so sharp that when he bits, it really put a mark/wound on you. His new teeh are starting to erupt now that's why he love to chew on everything including us lol.

Healthy Weight Loss Program

Our family physician was impressed when he examined my husband today because the last time he saw him, the doctor advised my husband to lose weight. He told my husband today that whatever healthy weight loss program he is using, to keep and maintain it as it is helping his heart condition and overall health. Our first visit to our physician this year went well and I am so happy about it.

Reliable Webhost and Domain

I talked to an online friend last week and she consulted me about about her blog. Her blog has apge rank of 3 now and she is thinking of buying a domain so that she could get rid of the blogspot from her blog url. I told her to just create a new blog from a reliable web site hosting so she won't have any issues about navigating its features. See the thing is, if you have a blog that has ranking already and you suddenly change its url, its traffic report will go back from the very beginning. Having a reliable website hosting is a must to give you and your visitor an easy access to your site. You may check out Web Hosting Fan for guide on how to choose the right web host provider.

That is why when I created my third website, I bought a domain right aways before I started registering it to search engines. That way, my traffic would be built based from that domain url that my blog is using. If you are a website owner like me who does online advertising, it is better to have your own domain because companies preferred to have their products and services be endorsed by a domain name. You can also make profit from your domain just in case you don't want to continue maintaining it because based from your traffic, the value of your domain website rises depending on the traffic that its receiving. So you can basically put it up for sale on a higher price.

father-daughter tandem

My beloved husband and lovely daughter are a DUO for everything. Rylie wants her dad for bedtime stories, eating ice cream, playing games, and even baking cookies and cakes. When we we're still in Korea, they made this cake (6-27-08). They were bored to death that day because it was raining that day so they baked a cake. Our daughter helped my husband do the frosting. When it comes to baking stuff, my husband usually is the one doing it, especially sweets. Sweet tooth runs in their family. My sister-in-law joked with me one time and said that they get mean when they can't eat sweets lol.
