I'm getting impatient waiting for the response from the person handling our business registration, up to now we haven't heard for any update. I emailed her the other night to double check what's the status and hopefully we'll get some light with the whole thing soon.

To keep myself not being upset I tried revising our logo. Hubs sort of hinted he doesn't like anymore the one I designed before, he wants something simpler looking and more concise. I have to say I really love the original I designed but I have to make something that he will be very happy with too.

At first I thought of checking for some logo works online but later on decided to just sketch out my own design as usual. At first I was thinking it might be good to consult a logo design guru or other logo design pros to make sure our logo will look very professional, then some design schematics came in my mind. I just started sketching it all out and showed it to hubs, he loved it! I just need to refine the design and then show him the final one and see if he'll approve of it.

My grandmother used to buy so much gold jewelries and I remember those times she was taking me with her to Mr. Zamora, the man who makes and creates all those jewelries she buys. Grandma always tells me it's good to invest with gold jewelries and I can even pass it on to my kids in the future as an heirloom.

I know what she meant by that but my passion and attraction for yellow gold faded during my highschool years and so. Yellow gold is very appealing to snatchers and I have witnessed some snatching during my commuting days. A lady who was wearing a gold hoop earrings and it was pulled from her ears so fast, that was shocking considering it was raining and the tarp was covering the passenger from outside view. I guess those culprits can see through even the almost opaque tarp.


Another incident was when I was I college and I was wearing the gold bracelet with embossed ID of my name. A gift for my 18th birthday, and it was snatched from my arm so fast. It even left bruise on my arm, the snatcher had a hard time pulling my bracelet since it's thick. So I decided no more yellow gold for me and I started using white gold instead. It's not as flashy as yellow gold and almost the same value.

I understand what my grandma means whenever she says I have to invest for the future and gold is something that can last a lifetime. However I am not too keen anymore about jewelries and I'd rather get bullion. I think a gold bullion can be easily kept and deposited for investments than jewelries. So if I were to buy anything gold for investment, I'd prefer to buy bullion. I don't really mind whatever my grandma has to say about it because I had such experiences I wouldn't want my future kids to witness as well.

How much do you love your job? If it poses detriments to your health, will you think twice dropping it?

iPad is one of the latest addition to the Apple family. A tablet computer particularly intended for audio and other visual media applications. It's a very efficient and portable device for those who are always on the go and who love to keep themselves busy reading ebooks,watching movies, playing some music, surfing the net and even playing games. ho wouldn't love such gadget if you can do all these things and just needing to carry roughly 25oz, just like any other smartphones and netbooks.

For those who love to watch videos and having hard time to convert video formats to be able to play on iPad, ImToo video converter can do the trick for you. It's a software which converts various video formats capable of doing edits in 150 different audio and video formats. This iPad video converter must be one of the best video converter for Mac.

Having a fireplace has more options other than burning wood, gas logs can make the home toasty and cozy too. It can be like the traditional wood burning with the vented gas logs or better with the ventless gas logs omitting such emissions and maintaining a warmer temperature more efficiently. Thanks to gas log FAQs I get to know the difference between the two. Unlike fire logs, the ashes and coals left make quite a mess and there's no way to fully control the heat compared to R.H. Peterson Real Fyre gas logs which can easily be turned on and off when you need to. Nothing can beat a warm and toasty home on a cold dark night. Certainly will give you a good night sleep without the chill. Not to worry about being outdoors too during cold nights, there are outdoor gas logs which can keep you warm. No need to burn woods like having a campfire though the only catch, no marshmallows and smores. =)

Happy Weekend to all!!

Whenever I try to bloghop my little smiley will always wake up so mommy's "busted". It's going to be a very busy weekend for us, we've got errands and project presentation on Tuesday. Looks like all work and no rest for our family weekend. Got to go for now!

I don't know if I'll dress up with any costume, maybe if I can make one with whatever clothes I have then I will but I don't really intend to buy one for myself. There are numerous costumes online but I find it impractical to spend for that, it's fine with baby because he can always play dress up anyway and still make use of it afterwards.

As I was searching I found this Garfield medical scrubs for sale and I admit, it brightened me up and put a smile on my face. I am not crazy over the scrubs idea but the design. I love Garfield and he's my favorite carton character, in fact I have Garfield collections back home. I left it all there. It's amazing how these medical uniforms online got such cute designs nowadays, well at least for the women's. For some reason I don't find mens scrub uniforms with cute cartoon characters very pleasing to the eyes.

Anyway, I have no plans of buying that garfield scrubs no matter how much I'd love to have that for my collection. It's getting chilly now most especially at night so if I were to wear something else, it has to be more covered and layered. One thing's for sure,we will not miss this year's halloween celebration. I'll definitely take many pictures of this upcoming festivity.

We were talking casually to one friend who loves to go to Vegas, she's quite a gambler. She'll make it a point to go there with the family or even by herself or with other friends and make sure to hit up the betting tables. There are times she wins and some unlucky days too. I think she's in such time of her life in which she can enjoy such luxury and not worry much of other things.

I know how addictive it is to stay in the casino as I had a chance to go to one with mom and dad when we had a vacation. The hotel we checked in had a casino so we tried checking it out and I played some slots. It was ages ago and I can't even remember if I win or lose. Definitely I didn't spend much coz I was allotting my money to buy souvenirs.

I wonder how it would be if you win a big money in the casino. I only see things in the movie but don't really have any idea how the casino winnings are given and how the casino winnings taxes are handled. Why should there be gambling tax? I really don't understand so maybe the next time we meet with our friend I can ask her my questions. In any case that we hit Vegas or any casino nearby we'll know the terms and what goes around there.

Mommy duty is not easy, everything's very time restricted. Now that baby's almost 9mos old, he's more active and awake. Putting him to sleep is a bit of a task now. He just seems to have more energy and always trying to hold his sleepiness. My life before baby came was just all work and house stuffs but now it's a lot more exciting with baby keeping most of my time. Now passing time is never dull and just plain old work busy anymore.

While other people enjoy passing time playing online games, facebooking, tweeting or simply surfing the net I am having much more fun watching my little boy move around. I know quite a number of friends who are hooked with internet slots, poker flash and other online casino games. They said it's fun dealing online and even introducing me to try blackjack download for a game sample. If I were to do extra internet stuffs I might as well just update my social networks since it's been so inactive. Well again that will all depend on any extra time baby will spare me.

Before our flight back 2009, my family went to Tiendesitas for our despedida or farewell dinner. We were supposed to meet with hubs family but something unfortunate happened to my dad's brother. Uncle was rushed to the hospital and that same night too if I'm not mistaken, we lost him too. My mom and dad were torn between rushing to the hospital and the family dinner so they just decided to cancel the dinner with hubs' family, eat a quick dinner before we head home and mom and dad rushed to the hospital right after.


We had some chance to enjoy and play in an arcade before they received the call. You can even see form the photos that were having fun. Enjoy particularly enjoyed that Barn place with all the rides and fun stuff for kids. It's just right across where we ate and did some window shopping. Elisse was very happy to see the pets area, there were so many pets for sale. She watched the dog grooming was very much amazed that dogs do get "haircut" as she noted. There were many spoodles for sale Sydney and nice furry cats, even luckier that same night a dog show was being held. We watched a bit as mom was looking for a place to eat.


We had grilled fish, ginataang kuhol (snail in coconut sauce), bicol express (spicy pork in coconut sauce), grilled pork, mangoes, shrimp paste, salted egg with onions and tomatoes. Yummy! Seeing all these foods makes me crave for those! Oh well, it's nice to remember the old days. Next time around baby will be included in the photos, that's for sure.

Once again I am just sneaking to write this post, I just finished nursing baby and will have to resume preparing foods for tomorrow. It's 30 past midnight now and both my boys are sleeping, mommy on the other hand has to finish just a few more things and will eventually go to sleep in a while.

Some of you are in my FB account and maybe you noticed too that my FB is still lifeless as ever. My sister once teased me about it but what can I do, I just don't have the luxury of time to do it as much as others. I know it can really be so addicting most especially the games just like those online casino and other online games. I can't believe almost everybody's hooked, it must be really fun but I bet very time consuming.

Up to now I haven't even checked the security options and other things there in FB, I just log when there's friend request or message and sometimes when I'm tagged. I have so much catching up to do with friends and I will =)

It was a very busy weekend and very tiring too. Had to do some renders til 3-4am therefore I didn't really get to sleep. I'm just a bit relieved that the interior designer liked my renders and she sounds very happy about it. It's good news not only for my much anticipated extra rest but also for my home earnings for this month. Too bad I can't share here the renders which I have produced, I'd have to ask for permission first before I get to post any of the images.

Hubs is so happy and proud of our little side business success because it helps so much in the budget and savings. Lately he's been seriously studying and researching about online trading and stock trading also looking into online banking pros and cons. I honestly prefer to stick to our conventional banking because that's more reliable I believe so. We want to boost our savings and prepare for future needs. Though as much as I want to help him with his researches and studies I'd rather leave him alone with those online broker and mobile trading stuff, it's totally out of my league. Having all these extra works can further help us set up my IRA accounts for future retirement benefits.

That's it for now, got to rest this aching back of mine. Already out baby to sleep, checked for client replies, dishes done, prepared my ingredients for tomorrow's food and sneak a little blogging. No time to blog hop for now so pardon my absence. Nightnight!!!

For the longest time hubs has been trying to get approved for capital one credit card (he noted it among best credit cards right now) so he can have an extra credit cards when we go travel but he's always being declined. He finds it frustrating that he even received several offer letters for him then when he submits they decline it. Like what the heck was that? He received an offer from them but the don't want to give it to him?

We were thinking the company was having a confusion with his name and his father's with him being a Jr. He actually gave up applying because he didn't feel good being declined and he has good credit score and stable enough to acquire one. Once again he received another form from them so I told him I'll do the works. I filled out the form they sent to apply for a credit card and noted some corrections with the name to avoid the same old confusion. He got it! I was even planning to keep it as a surprise at first but he received an email notification ahead so he excitedly kept asking me if I got his Capital One in the mail. Oh well I had to give it coz he won't stop bugging me about it. He said he got excited after receiving the email saying he can now activate his card.

It was a pleasant day with the very nice weather so when baby got up from his morning nap I decided to take him out for walk. We passed by a friend's house whom we met during one of our day walk. It's good to see baby interacting with other babies, he was pretty much behaved there and I'm so proud of him. We didn't stay there long because I wanted to walk him all the way daddy's office for a little surprise visit. Daddy was so happy to see his little boy so as all his co-workers. We headed back home and thought of passing by my in-laws for a quick visit but baby happened to fall asleep on our way home so I just brought him straight home instead.
