My Father's Birthday

It's my father's birthday today. Wish we live close so I could celebrate this day with him, but he lives in New Jersey with my Mom and my brother. I love my Dad. He's the type of man who doesn't say much, but when he opens his mouth, you would either listen intently, or laugh because he's so funny. If he's hurt, he hides it. He wouldn't want you to get worried about him either. I've never seen my Dad get mad, except when I was little, he got really furious with me because the school bus had arrived and I was still sleeping. I heard the most crispy, deafening "p*t*rag*s!" I had ever heard in my entire childhood! I got up so quick and put on my school uniform as fast as I could without even taking a bath! hehehe :) That's the first and last time I saw him got angry. My Dad used to love eating spicy food. He would even eat chili by itself like a snack. That's why no wonder he would always rush to the bathroom to eliminate because he had hemorrhoids. hehehe :) My Dad is not the affectionate type of person. But, I know he loves us more than he could ever express. On my 7th birthday, I remember being surprised to see a cute pink doll bag hidden under my pillow when I went back to my bed after going to the bathroom for a while. I was so happy and proud of my Dad's gift that I showed it to all of my classmates the following morning! :) My father is the best! I won't deny that during my younger years, I had caused him some headaches and heartaches that he didn't even deserve. Despite that, his love for me had remained unqualified. Being a responsible and hardworking father that he is, he will do everything to give his family a good life. He will do all it takes to make us happy. I miss my Dad. I love him so much! Happy Birthday, Daddy! :)

Police Gear

My late grandfather was a veteran of the World War II. Whenever we would drop by his house to visit him, I would look at his photos hanging on the wall along with the other soldiers. When I came across this site, I happened to remember my brave grandfather who looked so dignified in his military uniform. If you know of anyone who is in need of a tactical gear, police uniforms, etc., better check this site as they offer great-looking uniforms at low prices you can surely afford. Not only that, once you order, you do not have to wait that long as they provide fast shipping service to its customers. To add to that, they do carry tactical gear from different well-known manufacturers such as Blackhawk, 5.11 Tactical, Camelbak, Spec-Ops Brand, Hatch, and Tactical Assault Gear. In line with this post, I would also like to greet everyone a Happy Memorial Day!

Corned Beef Day for Me

Yes, you read that right. It's indeed a corned beef day for me! For some reason, I have been craving for corned beef today. I had corned beef sauteed with onion and garlic and a plate of rice for breakfast. My baby Noah had waffle topped with butter and strawberry jam, and also a banana. For lunch, I had the left-over corned beef again, while Noah had Chicken Cordon Bleu. mmmm...What a delectable dinner for Noah! :) For our afternoon snack, I had bread, but with corned beef filling. Noah had peanut butter sandwich. Well, do you still want to know what I ate for dinner? Your guess is right! Corned beef again, but this time with egg. hehehe! I just hope baby Kaiden won't come out of my tummy crying "moo" like a cow. :)

Close to my Husband's Heart

Children are close to my husband's heart. Last month, my husband gave a 30-minute presentation about the world of soccer at Blackbob Elementary School. Our daycare provider's daughter, Sydney, had a career day and she invited him to be the speaker. My husband didn't hesitate about accepting the invitation as he dearly loves kids. In fact, when the tsunami happened in Thailand in December 2004, he went over there to help the poor, unfortunate children who got affected by the tragedy. Until now, he would send some stuff such as basketballs, soccer balls, etc. to a school in Khoa Lak, Thailand. He is planning to go over there at the end of this year to visit them and ask what else he could do to help them with their present situation. My husband's loving-kindness and compassion for children is what endeared me to him. Because I know, from what I have witnessed, that he would shower our children with much profound love and affection the same way.

Foot Detox Spa

Foot Spa is one of the things in life I truly enjoy. I remember, when I was still in the Philippines, I would always ask for a foot spa whenever I would have my hot oil treatment at a beauty salon. I just love the feeling! Then, I heard about this Foot Detox Spa. That sounds interesting to me! Aside from feeling relaxed, you also get the benefit of wellness by getting rid of toxins in your body. If you have sweaty feet, or even athlete's foot, this will surely help you. It doesn't take long to do this. You just have to put your feet in warm, salted water for half an hour. All I can say is that, Foot Detox Spa is something everybody should give a try.

What Do You Love About Weekends?

Aside from having days to relax, and maybe sleep in, this is also the time that garage sales are prevalent. Oh, yes! Garage sales! I admit. I am a bargain-hunter. Somewhat a penny-pincher :) I love it when I go shopping and things are on sale. When I drive by our area, my eyes light up whenever I see signs of "Garage Sale" or "Yard Sale" on the corners of the streets. I drop by to check what they're selling, ponder if I really want or need them, and see if price is "reasonable" enough for a used item. Yes, I still think before I buy even if it's on sale. :) I make sure the item still looks good, is working properly, or has just been barely used. It's fun though to go to garage sales. Sometimes, I see cute baby clothes, toys, books, videos, almost anything you can think of. If we have a gorgeous weather this weekend, I might do some "garage sale hopping". :)
