We saw one of our old acquaintance at the assembly yesterday and M0rn1ng noticed that she gained a lot of weight. I asked him what if I become bigger than her in the following years. His answer?

“You will never be that BIG mommy because I will take care of you.” I’m not sure what he means by that. I wonder if that includes letting me take in one of those best diet pills out in the market.

One thing I’m proud of our little boy is that he knows how to socialize. Whenever there are visitors in our house, he would recite the nursery rhymes he knows and if he’s really game, he’ll even sing a song or two. He also likes to play with other kids and older children like the age of 4 to 7 adores him.

Here he is playing with Ate Rina’s son. We stayed at their house when we visited Singapore and in just a few days, he made a new friend. He had the time of his life playing with kuya James.

Yesterday, we were sitting with a little girl around the age of 6. They had a grand time playing during the assembly’s intermission. I’m confident that he will be well adjusted when it’s time for him to attend school. He knows how to share and interact with others.

Travel guides are a big help for tourists. We could not have survived our recent Singapore trip without it. Although we have friends there, we would not want to bother them to show us around. As long as we have these guides, we know where to go and how to get there.

This has proven helpful when we went on city tour on our last day. We found Merlion’s Park and Clark Quay on our own. We also got to the shopping centers with ease and bought some toys for the little boy.

I have a site that I frequently visit that provides all these travel guides and maps. It also includes Chicago travel guides and maps. Just let me know if you need the link.

No one is allowed to be negative today!

What are your Happy Thoughts? No limits, no requirements, just tell me hap-ee thoughts today! (I need it!)
This is not a thankful post – I just need thoughts that make you happee!

Here’s mine:

The Spiritual Food we all had last week-end.  It gave me the strength I need to focus on the things that really matters.  Whatever life throws me, I’m in good hands.  I have to have faith in God that he will help me through adversity. 

The 4 days without work.  This is the much needed break that I need.

Little boy.  His kisses and hugs are the very things that keeps me going.  It is also the onlly thing that can take the tiredness of the day.

Loving hubby.  I don’t know what to do without him.

We were able to do much progress on our TIPID PLAN.  Our grocery expenses this week were down to 50%.  M0rn1ng and I are very proud!

Join the fun here.

It’s Monday once again folks and I want to remeber some positive words so that I can take whatever life throws me this week.

This is the precept by which I have lived: 

Prepare for the worst; expect the best; and take what comes.

Robert E. Speer

I’m still on leave today.  Good thing that the little boy is still asleep and I can still write something about

term insurance. It’s included in my assignments. Then Debbie and I will buy stocks for our nappy cakes. We received two orders this July. We’re so excited.

I hope we all have a great week ahead of us.

I have just been invited by Mitch.

On July 5 Mitch asks “Right after your husband proposed, what was the first thing that came to your mind?”

I’m really corny but I started visualizing how our life together will be like.  How happy I would be waking up each day with him beside me….his face would be the last I see at night and the first when I wake up in the morning.  Ironic because this did not happen.  M0rn1ng was working in a graveyard shift back then so we don’t go to bed the same time.  He sleeps in the morning while I sleepp at night.

At first it really burst my bubble because I imagine our married life as moments of togetherness and doing most of the things together.  Reality bites, we did most of the things apart because of our working arrangement.  We have to adjust and after a year M0rn1ng left his job.  Though, he earns a lot less now, we have no complaints as we felt that we were more together.  We are a family and we started functioning as one.

My best friend is recently complaining about bed bugs in her house. Her 2 year old son was bitten and it pains her to see him itch because of it. Besides the bites don’t look very nice. They were all over his son’s legs and they look swollen red.

I remember that we had the same incident when we were young and mom said it was due to our dirty mattress. She had it vacuum and left in the sun to dry. She said that it kills the pests. It works because we never had bed bugs again.

I got curious and looked it up in the net and found this informative bed bug site. It explains the cause of bed bugs and the effective ways of getting rid of them. I found it very useful and I will ask my friend to read it too. I hope she gets rid of those bugs soon.
