My eldest remembers the mountain near our house and since we have a little time to spare last Sunday coz we needed to finish up the bedroom we are working on, we decided to go ahead and enjoy half the day at the mountain before working on that room. It’s really nice out there especially fall season where the colors come to life! Just overlooking on top of the mountain and seeing all the farm, cows and trees below makes you appreciate the beauty of nature! It’s really relaxing to look at it! Here’s few pics taken!

I can’t think of any career that I’d be good at but most of my friends and family have suggested a couple. I’m not really sure what I want to be so, that IS the problem! I seemed to start something and get into and later felt like this is “IT”…this is my passion! And soon realized that I want to do something else! You see the picture here? I easily get bored and I know this is a bad bad thing…I can’t achieve anything since I keep on starting something and not finishing it! I thought I wanted to be a teacher but when discouraged by my mom {being a teacher herself} I thought nurse is my calling BUT didn’t have the courage to even look at a bleeding hand or something. Then, here goes photography, sure I can do it and wanted to go to school for that but somehow I didn’t! Easily discouraged and not enough motivation, bad combination, I know!

Now, how about real estate? Yeah, hubby suggested this one but thinking, thinking…Will I be good at selling a house? Well, I really need to gain more knowledge and get Real Estate 101! Yeah indeed, anything is possible with the right motivation and perseverance! BUT I know someone out there does have all that and would be willing to learn how to create wealth and where to begin? Nouveau Riche is the place to be! Whether you wanna do home study or experience a hands-on learning with an instructor interaction, Nouveau Riche is one place where you can do what you prefer!

They have the way and the answer for any adults who wants to learn the way to create wealth, using the time-tested, foundational principles adhered to by all higher-education institutions. Take a look at what Nouveau Riche has to offer at nouveauriche.com!

Join Wordless Wednesday Here!

I haven’t been making a lot of opportunities online like I used to even if it appears that I’ve been really keeping myself busy from blogging. Honestly, my statistics are going down for not being so active in memes or tags and even bloghopping! My entries look like I spent all day, everyday but I’ve been missing out a bunch from not staying online longer than I used to and the tasks slowly disappears either from expiration or for not spending more time online.

The reason? Going out! Yeah, been really busy spending a lot of time with friends and my family! I bet you can tell from my entries…Even if I am earning less, I gain more by spending more time with my kids, building memories with them and making my friendship stronger with my pals! I have enough that I can spend for my shopping, eating out and other wants and needs. Even with my little salary, I can manage to still enjoy going out and eating out with careful budgeting and planning! I’ve learned that when you go out in the store for groceries or even for shopping at the mall…it is very important to have a plan kinda like a game plan so, you don’t end up regretting things that you bought and having huge debts! I used to hate hubby for always having a budget but now, I truly understand how important it is! Only if he stretches out a li’l bit of our budget, nahhhh…make it more!hehehe!

I woke up today with my same old routine - snuggle in the couch, asked hubby for a coffee and while sipping…I tuned in the news and heard about this lovely story…

Isn’t this a very sweet and tearful story?! I honestly felt the love and I couldn’t help but to cry!{silently}LoL! Just amazing how a wild cat can remember the one who nourished and took care of him when he was little! It really proves that love is stronger than anything! Just reminds you to hug someone you love today! Show them how much you appreciate them! This video is now a youtube sensation and I like seeing clips like this {even if others find it cheesy} I rather watch this than some silly pranks or nonsense clips!

Hearing the news everyday, so many horrible things happen while you sleep or even at this very second! Nice to see something uplifting! BUT there’s always going to be bad news like crimes, natural disaster and even a horrible accident saddens me just like those who are hit by a HUGE truck and having a truck accident lawyer can give you a little comfort that at difficult situations, someone can be on your side and when it comes to evaluation, development, and negotiations…they can help you with all that! I know this is off topic but just something that is on my mind first thing in the morning! I gotta stop watching the news! nahhhhh…

No, not for a wedding, that one right there is just one of the great promotional items found at inkhead.com. If that’s something a company or business is giving away, I wouldn’t resist to grab one! I need a good clock in front of our bed. I just like to know what time it is whenever I open my eyes but that would be a great desk top item too! Would be functional and useful for your office, you know! There’s so many other products you can choose from at their website and it is really a great marketing strategy and spread your business or company’s name out there! From drinkware, apparel, bags, office stuff and more! I remember all those shows at the convention center, the first time I went with hubby…I enjoyed collecting all those promotional items coz they were not just another pen, there were cool stuff too!

Once again, I’m working on potty training Katie. She’s turning 3 this October and I’m not doing well with her. I just want her to stop using disposable diaper and no more changing diapers every now and then. You see, my eldest once she turned 2, I trained her and at least it took about 2-3mos that she mastered it! BUT with my 2nd child, I am too lazy…honestly! I tried to train her before but I lost my motivation when she would never sit on a potty. Even if her big sissy sits on it or even me too just to let her know it’s ok. I even got a tip to let the potty chair around her when she’s playing or whatever she does so, at least she won’t feel intimidated by the thing and she can get used to it but it didn’t work. There was even a time when hubby thought of an idea to let Jessica train her and we’ll reward both of them but somehow my eldest played tricks on us and she would call us and say…”mommy katie peed in the potty!” We went frantic and was amazed but few times after, I realized Katie doesn’t even attempt to pee there, she just sits on it and go. So, the next time I asked Jessica, she said she did it again and now, I am a little suspicious. Later on, I found out my eldest is the one peeing on the potty not Katie! She just wanted the reward! Tsk…tsk…tsk…oh well, I’ll try my best this time not to pass that responsibility to a 5 yr old girl who loves treat!hahahaha!

Oh yes! Another weekend has passed and so, it’s time for another WS! I had a colorful weekend…it was kinda like a mixture of play, work, friends and family! It’s always nice to have a break during the week and spend some time with friends without kids (in other words - “mom’s day off!”) and hubby tries to give it to me at least once a week! Here’s what I’ve been doin’ on my day-off, LoL!

dinner…

shopping…

and drinking! nahh…I have to drive so, no drinks for me = (

the ff. day, I was put to work! {I just wanted our bedroom done so, I got into the action coz hubby’s too slow}hehehe!

BUT of course, we spent some quality time as a family before work…

We had a great time picking berries and I’ve never had blueberries that were so tasty and so BIG! Can’t ask for more of my weekend…Visit here for more Weekend Snapshots!

That’s how I reacted when my eldest told me that Katie put a bead on her nose and it’s stuck! I was really scared that I won’t be able to get it out. First, I thought of calling hubby to get his idea and he told me he got that Rubis tweezer up in his medicine cabinet and I thought of that thing too! I was just worried that I might hurt her but he said to try that first and so I did. Thank goodness I was able to grasp it with its pointy ends! I just couldn’t believe Katie would do something like this. Curious little mind can sometimes be scary! After that, I asked Jessica to help me find every little beads in the house to get rid of it! Geez! Could you believe she found another one and did it again after a couple of days???!!! My God! She never learns…but I think she does now coz so far, no more incident like that. I bet she learned from the experience (twice!)LoL!

There’s always things that you try to do for your love ones even the silliest idea, it can be really sweet! Just like saying if you can buy her the stars and the moon, you’d give it to her! BUT now, you really can give her that! What I mean is a moon property! Yes, indeed…you can buy the moon for your sweetheart at lunarinternational.com! A lot of people have already purchased a property on the moon. Anyone can purchase an officially authorized lunar land claim and it can be a special gift for someone! Surely, the recipient will be surprised and amazed with that kind of gift. It is indeed one of a kind present. So, surprise your sweetheart today and purchase a land in the moon!

I would like to thank Alpha and Joy for sharing this prayer…

A prayer indeed is quite powerful. If you have faith and you prayed sincerely, God will hear your prayers! Honestly, I try to do so not only when I’m at Church but any time I got the chance. It’s just like having a small talk or a simple conversation that I do it every now and then…Now, I’m passing this prayer to:

Kitty, Nice, Rachel, Tere, Yen and Vicky
