Thanks to steering rack our traveling will go without a hitch. It will not only protect and make driving safer but its affordable to all consumers like us.

SWARM OR MIGRATION?



Since its winter there are a lot of changes not just for us humans but also for animals. Some animals hybernate and some migrate to other warmer climate. Just about 2 hours ago MIL called me in the family room and pointed outside the deck and out backyard. The backyard was swarming with black birds and so were the trees. It was everywhere not just in our backyard but also our nieghbours. It was kind of scary since you see horror movies that birds swarm and they kill. The birds would fly off and then land on the ground, trees or rooftop again and again. It was like they were in separate groups. The first group would land and eat for a minute then they would take off to the sky then the next bacth would land again. That went on for about 5 minutes. I got scared thinking it was a bad sign or a omen of some sort then i got to thinking, that its already winter so the birds are probably starting to migrate. It was
beautiful to watch but scary, it gave me goosebumps. It was my first time to see birds that many. the three lights you see in the pictures is not flying saucer or alien craft but the reflection of out lights on the glass door.

HIS SWEETNESS





My husband is a very busy man but yet he doesnt forget to write me small notes or bring little somethings for me. Just the other week he was working so long and barely had time to see us. He would call and tell us how he missed us and wish he was not working so he could spend time with us. One day he came home early and we were still sleeping, when we woke up and came downstairs i found the note for the girls on the kitchen tabel. I was a little sad that he didnt include me in the note. When i went to fix Kayla breakfast i noticed something on the counter,it was for me from him. He didnt forget me, he got me something i really like, donuts at Wawa. After walking Kayla to the bus stop i went up to kiss him and say thank you for remembering us and for being so sweet. We love you so much daddy!!!

Christmas shopping time and i still haven't bought anything for my nieces and nephews. . It's important that you get them something that they love to wear and show there friends. You would think its better to buy gifts for smaller children but its not.Teenagers are hard to please but if you pay attention to what they hear, listen and watch you get a clear idea of what to get them. Last Christmas we didn't get any of his niece and nephew anything and this time i want to make sure i get them something that they will surely like.Ralph's niece Kristen is 16 and would want something like For Camp Rock Fans-Jonas Brothers. She loved the movie Camp Rock and watched it with her friends so its just fitting that I get her something that she will love. For parents, uncles, aunts and relatives you don't have to fret if you have teenage boys. There is a Large selection of Jonas Brothers Stuff that you can choose from. The items ranges from clothes like hoodie sweaters or jackets, shirts,posters, hats,umbrellas, bags and many more cool stuff. Worried about the cost? Don't be, since all the items are of reasonable prices that wont surely hurt your budget. All this items can be found at your favorite stores but why go out when you can select any item right at your own house via online shopping.I'm pretty sure that they will think your cool for having thought of it. Christmas shopping has never been easier this year.

GOTCHA!


Kaitlyn is already 13 months old and she is a handful. She gets into her little mischief mood and would just make a mess of the whole playroom and the family room. She would take out all her toys and throw it around, open my cabinet containing all plastic bowl Tupperware and just scatter them around the kitchen. One minute she is with you the next you cant find her. Its when she is so quiet that we worry coz we know she is doing something. And i caught her in one of her in the act of getting into the cabinet full of pots and pans. This was morning of Thanksgiving before everyone arrived at the house and mom and I were busy getting things in order. Both mom and I took a break and watched a little t.v and sat down in the family room when i noticed that Kaitlyn was missing and was so quiet. I knew she was doing something so i went on a hunt to look for her and behold, i caught her in the act trying to get into the pots and pan cabinet. She has a surprised guilty look about her face. My little trouble maker!

3 HOURS OF SHOPPING OR WINDOW SHOPPING?

I went to the Christiana Mall for the first time ever. I didn't get to go yesterdays black Friday since i had family visiting and we got so tired and full from eating. They left late yesterday and i miss them already. Kaitlyn has been a little under the weather lately and yesterday she had a slight fever which we blame on maybe her teeth coming out. This morning she still had a slight fever so she didn't come with me since MIL volunteered to watch her. They dropped me off at the mall shortly before 12 noon. MIL told me to take my time and just look around and make sure i buy something for myself. I had hubby's card but i didn't go ballistic and just buy anything i want. After 3 hrs. I finally called MIL and i heard the baby crying in the background and so cranky, i told her to pick me up at the same place they dropped me off. When i go in the car MIL was a little bit peeved why i only bought 3 items,hehehe.. She wanted me to buy stuff for myself and not worry about the cost for once. I told her i didn't want to spend to much and go overboard but i did buy a dress for me, shoes for Kayla and jumper snowsuit for Kaitlyn. I felt guilty though coz Kaitlyn was running a high fever when we got home. Her fever spiked up to 102.6 her face was so flushed and her eyes watery. Thank God she is doing much better now, ill have to keep a close eye on her tonight and keep checking her temperature.

PIGS ABOUND



The Roasted Pig is often seen in Filipino gatherings or party back home in the Philippines and even here abroad. If there is a filipino there will always be Roasted Pig or what we bisaya call " inasal " tagalog call " lechon ". I missed the lechon so bad the first time i came here. Luckily i go invited to one of my friends party. They had "inasal" and my did i eat like a pig, pardon the pun. The crisp outer skin of the pig dipped in vinegar with chopped onions and garlic. The rib is the best part and the tastiest of all. The left over meats,and skins can be cooked again this time with vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, a little soy sauce and oil. Makes me hungry thinking about it.Im off to the kitchen for now, ill be eating the rest of the Thanksgiving dinner.

FIRST VISIT



This was the first time my cousin Wingwing and her family came over to visit me. I was probably 3-4 months pregnant that time and i had called her telling her i was depressed since i was always sick due to the pregnancy. She packed up her family and flew all the was from Chicago to come and see me and to cook me something i have been craving for, pochero. As you can see we still didnt have a deck back then and the backyard was still big since we didnt have the pool yet. I was so happy that she came for me, even though it was only a short visit i was thankful for that. I love you nang weng and also your kids...

GEAR UP

As a police officers wife I know how important it is for my husband to get the right gear when he is on duty. It has to be not just any gear or quipment it has to be build and made to withstand anything and of durable materials. That is why Surefire is one of the name brand makers of tactical gears, equipments that he would trust to get his stuff like the Surefire Rechargeable Flashlights. He know that they are the best of the best that is rugged, durable and tested. When you use an equipment life the flashlight on an everyday visit you make you that you get the best in the market. And for sure they are the best.

YESTERDAY

It was Thanksgiving Day yesterday and it was time for family and food!!! MIL and I were busy preparing the house and some of the food the night before but still end up cooking a lot of stuff on the day itself. We were suppose to eat my 4 p.m. but ended up eating after 5. It was so fun to see my family again and it made me so happy and so proud to be able to host the Thanksgiving Dinner. There was a lot of people but we made it through the Dinner without any incident at all. It was too bad that my stepdaughter Kayla was not here to celebrate with us. My niece who is turning 5 yrs old and the other one 3 yrs. old were looking for her. She even help her mommy pick out Kayla's present that she was going to give her personally. Next Thanksgiving it will be different, she will be with us.

FUNKY FREE RINGTONES

I got my very own cellphone about 5 months ago and still i don't have the nice ring tones that would love to have. Sure my cellphone is pre-loaded with ring tones but its not the latest ring tones that are coming out. I would love to have ring tones of my favorite artist. I have searched for sometime now where to download free ring tones and i just found it at free ringtones.They have all the types of ring tones like the monophonic ring tones, polyphonic and the real music ring tones. The have a wide selections of ring tones from you favorite artist, bands, groups. The have hip hop, r&b and many many more. They even soundtracks from your favorite shows that you love to watch. The best thing about it its free and its compatible to almost all cellphone carriers. My niece is under the T-mobile carrier and with this she can download her favorite songs at free t-mobile ringtones. As a teenager I'm sure she will jump right at this. As for my brother in-law that has Larry the Cable guy as his ring tone maybe he will one to replace it. he happens to keep on buying ring tones, he can get them now for free at free Verizon ringtones. Hey, I'm not done just yet they also have cool ring tones for sprint carriers and I'm pretty sure that Ralph will want to get a new ring tone for his phone since he loves Latin music at free Sprint ringtones.Now i can download the latest ring tones out there without having to pay for it. And its so easy to do, just pick your mobile carrier, inter your cellphone, verify your pin and you can choose the ring tones you want. Don't just take my word for it, go visit and give it a try.

UNDER THE WEATHER


My little girl is not feeling too good. the last couple of days i noticed that she was coughing specially at night. Kayla was getting the cold and she must have given it to Kaitlyn with all the hugging, kissing, sharing food and the playing that they do around the house. Kayla is not here with us for Thanksgiving since its her mom's turn this year to have her. Back to Kaitlyn, even though she is feeling a little bit under the weather she is still her jolly, happy, mischievous self. But tonight i put her down to sleep in my makeshift bed on the floor in her room. After she fell asleep i sneaked out and went downstairs to continue the cleaning up and the preparation for tomorrow's feast. Then all of a sudden i heard her throwing up in the baby monitor. I rushed to her room and found her still throwing up all over herself, the pillow and the sleeping bag. She was coughing so much that lead her to throw up. She was still groggy and sleepy and would have laid down in all that vomit if i hadn't stopped her and changed her. As soon as she was changed i held her in my arms until she fell asleep and placed her on her crib. Things like that make me worry so much since she is just a baby and cant tell me what wrong with her and what hurts. I'm just glad she is sleeping and resting now, i just hope she will be much better tomorrow since we will have family over.
