Wizards Vs. New England Revs

I'm sure my dear husband is in cloud nine tonight. The Wizards won the game against New England Revs with a 1-0 score. It was a much needed win to make it to the play-offs. Sadly, I didn't get to watch it in its entirety for I had to put our babies to sleep. Anyway, I'm very happy for him and his team. Go, go Wizards! :)

Fair Estimate

Couple of months ago, my husband had been going back and forth to the auto repair shop to have his Jeep Liberty fixed. At first, it had been having some electrical malfunction. After having that fixed, another problem occurred, after just a few days of leaving the repair shop. One thing led to another. It was frustrating. We're not sure if it's really the car that was the problem, or if it was the mechanic's incompetence. When my previous car broke, we took it to the nearest shop and the car repair estimates seemed to be higher than we expected. We thought we should find a car repair shop that charges less without sacrificing quality of service.

There is an online car repair site called RepairPal that aims to help all vehicle owners out there. Its goal is for you to be fully knowledgeable with price estimates, which are fair and accurate, and any pertinent information regarding car ownership. A Toyota Camry repair would normally cost $39-62 for the air filter replacement. If you live in California, you can find top-rated San Francisco car repair shops in the site. Go to RepairPal, and get an accurate, unbiased, fair estimate for your car repair.

Halloween Costume

Halloween is coming and I haven't found a costume for my two babies yet. We all know that Halloween is one of the most awaited occasions beside Christmas especially for children. If possible, I would like my babies' costumes to be in sync. You know, something like Batman and Robin. But, I want it to be unique, or cuter. My co-workers suggested a policeman and a prisoner with Noah as the sheriff or the policeman, and Kaiden as the jailbird or the prisoner. That would surely be hilarious! hehe! I did a local search using local.com in looking for costume stores within our area. Luckily, I found one that is just a few miles from where we live. Nice!

Local.com is a great search engine that is a fusion of popular sites such as Yellowpages.com, Citysearch.com, Yelp.com and Superages.com. With their awesome one-stop-shop feature, you don't have to go from one site to another to get all the information you want. This site is more than your local yellowpages. It is user-friendly and convenient to use. You can even write up a review and have a chance to win as much as $500!

My husband and I also plan to dine out with the kids on that day. I have discount coupons for some local restaurants around that we definitely would use.

A Fulfilling Career

My youngest brother, who celebrated his birthday 3 days ago, studied Nursing when he was in college. During that time, and even up to this time, nurses are very in demand here and abroad. Unfortunately though, he wasn't able to finish the course for he had to fly to the US with my mom and dad. His girlfriend, however, took Nursing and is currently a nurse in a prestigious hospital in New Jersey. She recently took the board exam, and gladly passed it with flying colors. She's a sweet, smart lady. There are various nursing schools that you can find online. One good site I know is the nursing-school.org. If you choose to be a Licensed Practical Nurse, you can take an LPN degree program at lpn schools found in the site. If you want to know what school offers LPN in your area, just hover your mouse on School Locations, or use the drop-down under Schools by Location. To help you further in choosing, they show Featured Schools located in different states. Visit nursing-school.org now. Start a fulfilling career as a nurse.

Happy Birthday Brother!

Gee...I forgot to greet my youngest brother on his birthday yesterday. Bad sister! hehe :) Anyway, bro, happy, happy birthday to you! I'm sure you had a blast! Wish we were there in NJ to celebrate it with you and Mommy and Daddy. Miss you bro! :)

Cousin in New Orleans

My cousin arrived in New Orleans yesterday. He applied for a working visa and apparently he was approved. He'd be working for Dickie Brennan's & Company. Oh, he's so excited! We're so happy for him. Our only worry is everybody knows that New Orleans is known for hurricanes. We pray he won't experience a tragic one during his stay there. Other than that, we hope he enjoys his work, have a good working relationship with his associates, meet nice people. We're so proud of him!

For A Cleaner Air

I had broncho-pneumonia when I was little. Then, I just learned recently from my mother that I suffered from asthma too when I was a kid. Thank God I outgrew it. My husband though still suffers from allergies and asthma that he needs to use the inhaler at times. No wonder our babies, Noah and Kaiden have them. Heredity plays a big part. Noah still has asthma, but is well-controlled now. Kaiden is still coughing, but is not as worse as the past week. Like most doting parents, we would anything to help them lessen, if not totally eliminate their suffering. One is making sure we have the home air purifier. We have one in the living room. Also, we have an air humidifier in the bedroom. They do help relieve asthma attacks, but it's of equal importance that they are properly maintained. Clean filters or replace them as instructed. Quality of the air we breathe in is improved with the use of home air purifier.

"Bye Kik..."

"bye kiki, bye kiki..." I laughed hard when hubby was telling me what happened during the day at work. Kini, short for Kintaro, is his assistant trainer. He's Japanese (obviously):) When they were about to leave the office, Noah bid him good-bye saying, "bye kiki, bye kiki" instead of "bye Kini". Well, for Filipinos like me, you know why I found this funny. hehe :)

A Soothing Massage

Last May, just a month before my due date, my office manager and co-workers gave me a gift certificate for a Pregnancy Massage. Oh, it was so relaxing! Very soothing! It felt like heaven! I liked my massage therapist for she was so nice and I can tell that she's skilled at what she does. She really knows Pregnancy Massage Techniques which, for me, is very important. After the experience, I felt so renewed, and I almost didn't want to get up! I loved it! There is a Pregnancy Massagae DVD that you can purchase online at videoshelf.com. You can also call 1-800-414-2434 to order. DVD's can be bought at the following prices: Nurturing Pregnancy Massage- $54.95 plus shipping, Nurturing Pregnancy Massage Techniques II- $49.95, also with shipping fee.

Having a pregnancy message provided so much comfort for me. I had problems with my back and it surely did help.

Daddy and Noah to Work

Today is Daddy and Noah's bonding time. My husband took Noah with him to work. Honestly, he was as excited as Noah. He even called me when they were on their way to the office to tell me that Noah had been dancing, laughing, and playing silly with him in his car seat. What a lovely sight to see! :) It's Mommy and baby Kaiden's bonding time, too. Right now, he's sleeping in his cozy bassinet snuggled in a soft blanket.

Where To Buy Cameras

A year ago, my husband got me a digital video camera for Mother's day. Sweet. That was 3 months after I gave birth to our first son, Noah. I can tell you that it was one of the best gifts I've ever received. Since then, I've been taking photos of our babies, capturing every milestone. I can't count how many memory cards I've used so far.

4 Year Old Shoots Herself

The mother had the gun for protection, however, it cost the life of her 4 year old daughter. Her daughter was actually playing with it and shoot herself between the eyes. She was rushed to the hospital after the incident to be treated. But according to the latest news we heard, she didn't survive. So sad this happened.

Buying An Air Mattress

Last may, we purchased an air mattress online for my aunt to sleep on when she came over last June. She and my mother came for a week vacation to help me take care of the babies since I just gave birth that month. My hubby and I thought we got everything set for their visit. We were never aware that the air mattress we bought didn't have an air pump with it. My poor aunt ended up sleeping on the floor. She said she didn't mind since she likes sleeping on a hard surface. Still, we felt bad. Just two days ago, my husband happened to pass by a camping store that's going out of business. He bought an electric air pump and another mattress, a queen size one. My brother and his girlfriend are coming over in January along with my parents. I'm actually excited about it. Anyway, if you want to know more information about purchasing an air mattress whether for home or camping use, or if you're interested in knowing about air mattress ratings, just go to this site air mattress info. Be well-informed. Don't make the same mistake we did.

Kaiden's Bumbo Seat

I got this popular Bumbo Seat for babies at a garage sale when we were doing our morning walk. Guess how much it was? $8.00! hehehe! As far as I know, Bumbo seats cost as much as $40 for brand new. I wanted to get one for Noah when he was still a baby. But, I was having second thoughts since it's too expensive for me, add up the other big expenses like crib, bassinet, car seat, etc. Glad I found an inexpensive one although used. Being a practical, prudent mom, I don't mind if it's brand new or not, as long as it's clean and still in good shape. As you can see, mah bebeh Kaiden loves it. That's for sure! :)

Still Summer For Me

I know. I know. Summer is out, and autumn is in. Then, the chilly winter. I don't know why my crazy Mommy wanted me to wear these pair of sunglasses.

But I do look kinda cool. Let's rock! :)

I should be workin' hard but no one will tell that I'm gettin' a lil shut eye behind these shades...

Best Entertainment Provider

My dear hubby loves watching TV whenever he's home. In fact, we have television sets in almost every part of our house. That only shows how much a TV addict he is. hehe! We both enjoy watching movies of any genre, reality shows, business and entertainment news, etc. Noah has his own small TV, but he only uses it to watch Baby Einstein videos, and not the regular programs. Being in front of the TV is part of our bonding time as a family. We love exchanging views, opinions, even jokes, especially if we find something humorous about a show or movie we're watching. If my husband is really interested in a movie, he wouldn't mind watching it even for the hundredth time.

Talking about movies, there is this highly advanced satellite entertainment provider called DirecTV. DirecTV is popular for having digital quality picture and sound. Their website has special DirecTV deals and DirecTV offers that are hard to pass. You get over 30 movie channels for 4 months FREE of DirecTV's Best Television Package.

I can't wait for my husband to get home and tell him about this special offer. He'd surely be excited like I am.

Shoes For Me and Noah

"Choos...choos..." Whenever Noah gets bored and wants to get out of the house, he would point to his shoes lined up on top of the shelf and say, "choos...choos...". Sometimes, I mistake it for juice, and even nose as he says it almost the same way. Only when he points to his shoes that I get what he really meant, which is shoes. He has quite a number of shoes, by the way. My mom loved buying him a pair whenever she goes shopping. He has sneakers, Crocs, sandals, boots of different styles and brands. He never even got a chance to wear some of them because they won't fit his chunky little feet. Well, baby Kaiden might be able to wear them someday.

As for me, I have been looking for a good pair of sneakers the past few days to replace my old one. I wear scrubs and comfy tennis shoes, or Crocs for work. They are getting a little bit worn out for I also wear them when I do jazzercise. I actually found one that I like. The brand is Nautilus . It's very stylish and looks very comfortable to the feet.
