self-admitted klutz, wicked at times, suffering from multiple irony, but trying to be the best mom and sexiest human being her two children have ever known
I remember when my friend threw a baby shower for me. It was so last minute so I can understand some of the irregularities that happened during the shower itself. There was a mix up in time. Some of my friends came 2 hours after the shower started. Some were on time and others got the dates mixed up. But all in all, it was fun seeing friends after a long time. Anyway, when it was time to open the gifts, I was so excited. Who wouldn’t be excited receiving lots of gifts and they’re not even for you? When I opened the gifts one by one, many of the items were alike. For instance, I had two baby carriers, 3 of the same toy, two bath tubs different color, and three baby albums of the same design and color. How weird! Who would need two baby carriers unless of course, if I had a twin? But I was pretty sure I had just one baby on my tummy that time. Anyway, it would have been nice if AmazingRegistry.com were present then. But my baby shower happened 19 years ago. Imagine having just one registry but with different stores to choose from. Look at all the stores included in the The best baby registry ever. There is BabiesRus. There’s also Amazon even Pottery Barn and babyearth. Imagine combining all these registries into one convenient registry and the best part is you get all the benefits these stores offer no matter what. It’s really amazing. You get to choose what you need without the fear of having double or even triple gifts. Mommies today would really have a blast using this service.
Slow but sure applies to everything else in life particularly to planning someone’s future, investing and financial matters. But when it comes to internet connection, that idea should go down the drain. Internet connection should be fast and reliable. Well, my present internet connection belongs in the former and it sucks most of the time. I couldn’t even download movies for it will take days to download. It would be better to head off to the video store and rent the damn disc or buy the movie disc itself. Imagine if I had broadband satellite internet, I would have saved enough cash to buy me a new television. Instead I’m still buying DVDs when I could just download those movies. But my crappy internet connection won’t let me. I’m just waiting for the lock-in period to expire before I switch to something better and faster. I mean, I live in the city where all the conveniences of city living are within my reach. But with my slow internet connection, it looks as if I’m living in somewhere remote and rural that clean drinking water is not even an option. I think those people living in rural areas are far better off because of the broadband satellite internet connection MyBlueDish.com. offers.
Perhaps you know this feeling of finally owning your own home for the first time. It’s one good feeling everyone should hope to achieve. No more rent payment, no more rude landlord or landlady, no more ceiling with molds and no more appliances that don’t work. Imagine that. But since the economic downturn, the dream of owning our own home seems a bit more out of reach. Even with the price reduction of most homes all over the country, people are still not buying. They’re even selling their own homes for fear of foreclosure. I don’t even know where it all started. I mean, I knew it was happening but I didn’t want to accept it.
But there is still hope for first-time home buyers. With Real Estate Tax Benefit where anyone who has not owned a home for the three years, can finally own a home and receive up to $ 8,000 tax credit. That’s big money but anyone wishing to purchase his or her home should act now since the tax credit won’t be there for long. You only have until end of April to avail it.
So that’s really great news for first time home buyers. I’m quite sure you’ll experience what I experienced the first time I entered my very own home. It was superb. For more details on the tax credit, watch this video.
About moving, quite a few people were asking me last week if I knew of Moving Companies Los Angeles. I’m not really from Los Angeles although my sister and her family have lived there for 20 years now So when I asked her if she of any Moving Company Los Angeles, she immediately said no. That’s because my sister has not experienced moving since then. She has lived in the very same home she’s occupying now. Lucky for her because it’s a back-breaking, tedious task to and transfer all your things from one house to another. Imagine the packing and unpacking, hauling, cleaning and all the other things associated with moving. They require patience and a good, flexible spine to be able to do all that.
Anyway, I knew of one company in Los Angeles who is an expert in moving. They are one of the first Los Angeles Moving Companies to establish a name for themselves in the business of moving and transfer. Melrose Moving offers superb customer service, free estimates, and professional packing. The company has experienced, professionally trained movers who operate using clean trucks with liftgate & ramp. You can even call them for last minute moving, they would surely accommodate you.
It’s so nice to just stay home and do nothing. We had plans of going out of town and sitting by the pool all day but we’re all feeling a bit tired and sleepy. My father threw a party last night and we all had chores to do and it was not easy preparing food for 50 guests or more. I got my first headache and itchy throat after two or three months of good health. We must have gone home around 3am and practically slept all morning.
I think I need a new bed. I kept tossing and turning this morning. I was asleep but I also knew that I was half awake. It was just so weird. I need to check some beds for sale this week. I can’t afford not to sleep well. I have so many things to take care of up until my birthday next month. I’m actually very excited about the events coming up next month. My little girl will have her first out-of-town field trip and first public performance. Meanwhile my son, who’s turning 20 this year, now have plans of getting a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. His mind changes all the time. Anyway, we’ll see what his mind comes up with next month. That’s all for now. Enjoy what’s left of the weekend. I know I’ll sleep through it. =)
I love dogs. I used to have one but he died because of a complication in one of his organs. I can’t even remember now, I can’t even remember it back then. All I heard from the veterinarian was blah blah blah as I was so devastated and was feeling a bit guilty for not taking care of him better. So my dog’s death gave enough grief and trauma to me that I never thought of getting another dog again. Until now I feel that I’m an irresponsible dog owner and that I must never have one again. Call me weird but I feel responsible for my dog’s death. Anyway, I came across dog boarding and training. If I had known about this, I would have brought my dog there while I went out of town for work. I should not have left my dog with the maids because they never did care for him in the first place. They only thought of him as a pest because he would leave stray hairs all over the sofa and would even chew away shoes when we left them on the floor. But it’s too late now but I’m glad that there are facilities now that have our dogs in mind. I hope there would be more so our most beloved pets would be taken care of properly.
On-going construction is in full swing in our building. Our floor alone has at least 5 unit renovations and the noise is actually driving me crazy. I can’t sleep in the afternoon unless I’m dead tired from the heat and exhaustion. It’s just start of the new year but all I keep hearing are bad news. There is the El Nino phenomenon, there was the earthquake in Haiti just a few days ago and just right here, in my own building, is the loudest noise pollution. All that hammering, banging, drilling and men shouting can make anyone go nuts. I can’t wait for Sunday. Sunday is rest day. Thank goodness there is one day a week of no construction. That can only mean two things, peace and quiet. In any case, I hope they finish whatever it is they’re supposed to finish. I hope my soon to be neighbors would start moving in so I can have quiet moments in the days to come. So I guess I would be seeing every Moving Company Los Angeles once construction in their units is complete. I would be having more neighbors. I hope they’re not anything like the kind of people they hired to work on their units. I’m wishing for some peace and quiet so I can have my much needed sleep.
I’m praying that I save enough money so I can go visit my relatives abroad. When I say enough, it means enough for two people to travel. I won’t be traveling alone because I’ll bring MG with me which reminds me that I have to get her a passport and schedule an appointment with the US embassy. I don’t know how it goes now but I’m hoping the process won’t make me stand in line for hours under the heat of the sun. Anyway, the trip would be dual purpose since my cousin is also getting married and I want to witness that. She recently called me to ask if I knew anyone who makes return address labels. I don’t know where she’s going to use it though. Anyway, I’m really praying that everything would be in my favor this year. I have so many plans this year. I would also like to study. I want a new car. I want to get fit again. I want a new set of wardrobe once I lose this stubborn weight. I want, I want. And I hope I get them all. It’s free to want things as far as I know. The only problem is, how am I going to achieve that? If I get to choose just one, I would want to visit my relatives abroad and attend my cousin’s wedding.
I stopped making New Year’s resolutions a few years ago after making too many unfulfilled promises and goals to myself and feeling bad about it. I’m not knocking them if you’re a fan and have tried to do your resolutions all year long, I’m just no good with such a big weight on my shoulders. Well, my New Year’s resolutions are no biggie (I’ll lose 50 lbs and be a waif for once in my life or I’ll single-handedly be responsible for world peace), but I can’t seem to do them. =)
Right now, I promise to instead of resolve something major, I would try to make smaller life decisions that are part of my daily existence. I plan to eat one salad a day, drink more water, keep in touch with people who matter, stick to one cigarette a week, and clean up as I go. And of course, avoid the laundry from overflowing. Easy enough to do because I know they’re all possible without too much trouble. What are your goals for 2010?
My son originally wanted to have a room with no bed. He said that he preferred just having a mattress that he can put away when not in use. I thought it was crazy. A bed frame is a must in any bedroom. Of course, I won with my argument. But if he had told me about Murphy bed wall bed, I would have agreed with him on that. You see, it’s similar to his idea of putting away the mattress when not in use. Only, it looks way better and it turns into a couch or another sitting area for him. And it works well with any home that has limited floor space which is our case since we live in a condo. And it comes with its own mattress. You can even get to choose your fabric to match the color scheme of any room. I recommend this to anyone who lives in a condo. I wonder why our contractor hadn’t suggested this to me.
