This morning while putting my son to nap, I was watching House Hunter by HGTV. I started watching this when we’re trying our luck to find our first place here in San Diego. I have to admit that I learned a lot from this. I learned that you can’t find a place that will provide all your wish list unless you bought a lot & have your dream house constructed.

Anyway, House Hunter usually features couple or family with kids. I seldom see a single man or woman looking for a house. This morning, it’s a bachelor & he looks impressive. A look that I feel that most single woman will give a second look.

We’re thinking of changing the light in our dinning room. What’s keeping us holding on to this is simply because its not our house. So, its either we’ll be a little generous to work on that (don’t worry we’ll keep it when we move into another place) or we’ll find a better study corner for me & my daughter.

It’s just last week that I got a chance to check the email account attached for this blog. I’m surprised to receive an email from one guest that she accidentally bumped into this site while searching for information about Mesothelioma.

She thanked me for helping her out to find this one great site that provided the information she wanted. I was shocked to receive such kind of a response. (more…)

Last weekend, we went out on store to check a freezer that will fit on our laundry room together with washing machine & dryer. My husband & I were busy measuring the models until I heard this guy asking the sales lady about 4396510.

I was thinking, “This guy is so weird to ask for an item in reference of the model code.”

What surprised me was that the sales lady answered his questions as if she’s very much acquainted with those numbers. I’m not expecting a sales person to memorized their items model numbers.

I thank God for giving me motivation for the past few days. To maintain my work out routine while taking care of my youngest.

This morning I started in my walk-a-thon routine, though this time it’s different as I also started taking a diet supplement. This year I’ll take it more serious. I mean serious is not just walking because of releasing stress, but rather loosing to weight to get back in my slimmer shape.

I noticed that my motivation is getting low as the 2010 starts and it’s very unusual to me. Before, when a new year enters in my life I feel so motivated, recharged & excited. (more…)

I can’t wait for our Philippines vacation by next month. It’s the very first time that my family will be flying & visit relatives/friends in the Philippines. (more…)

Now that we finally moved here in San Diego, CA, I have to admit that I’m kinda missing our life in Dewey, AZ.

Well, I’m still gaining confidence on driving the freeways here. I have to admit that I got used a lot in highways in northern AZ that has 55mph (more…)

Another year has passed & I hope all of you guys have a wonderful Christmas & New Year celebration.

Theron & I had our usual Starbucks’ Hot Mocha & Bagels (w/ Cream Cheese) this morning. Then, we headed to the mall’s kids playground and we just got there on time. As the mall staff was about to do her last routine in disinfecting the entire kids’ area.

FYI – The kids’ playground has 4 basic rules – watch your kids, disinfect hands as you enter, no shoes allowed & has certain height limit for kids. Since the playground is designed for crawlers up to 3-4 yrs old. And with all the viruses going on, the management added more “cleaning/disinfecting” in their regular schedule.
