I will try what I can do to keep this site updated. My life is more updated on Facebook than in any other places on the net. Unfortunately, my updates are for friends only and I don’t add people I don’t know.

I realized that I have this domain/blog for a while now, since November 2005. Sadly, it didn’t go with the flow of revolution on world-wide-web. But who knows, this might change.  Anyway, just letting you know that I still exist.

I’m thankful that we don’t have sparkly and squeaky clean home.. but nobody get sick from inside. Like what I said, we are reasonable. We clean the bathroom after use, wash the dishes and our clothes regulary, bring the trash out all the time, our sink is clean, the kids bathe everyday, we vacuum the floor once a month, I dust my table once in a while.. what else? Hahahah We don’t grow bugs, spiders, rats or cockroaches in our house. The thing so hard to do is to sort things out. We’ll try to work on that.

Our garage is full of mess, that I think mostly are my stuff. lol No wonder hubby is always asking to find him t bolts, maybe he will try to organize the mess over there.

Few photos I took recently..

The time has rolled around and it is just about time for the Master’s golf coverage to take place. I know what my husband will be doing over Easter weekend. He will be posted up on the couch watch the Master’s coverage on clear internet TV. It is definitely his favorite sporting event of the entire year. I have to say, for someone like myself who doesn’t even like to watch sports on tv, I actually enjoy watching the Master’s tournament. It is the most prestigious title in golf. Everyone wants to win. The Augusta National course when the tournament is played in Augusta, Georgia is absolutely beautiful. The greens and flowers are perfectly groomed. The sun is usually shining and everything looks beautiful. The golf coverage does a pretty good job about telling the history of the Masters Tournament and of the players. Each year I feel like there is a new favorite. I ordered a “Tea Time at the Masters” cook book and am looking forward to fixing some things for my husband out of there while we are watching.

Okay back to reality.. I’m enjoying some apps on my phone Will try to blog and share about it.

Now that we have four kids, we need to start being smarter about where our money goes. We never planned on having this many children, and it is scary to think about the future. Even though they are still small, we need to start seriously saving for college if we want to be able to help them. They are all very close in age and should be going through one after the other. We started thinking about ways that we could cut our monthly bills, and one of the things that came up was clear tv internet bundle deals. We looked into changing over and found that with a bundle we could save a considerable amount. I am going to start clipping coupons and spending less on beauty treatments for myself. My husband is also going to limit the amount he spends playing golf, which is an expensive hobby. Hopefully we will be able to make enough changes so that the kids won’t have to suffer when it is time for them to go to college. I graduated college with a lot of debt, and I don’t want them to have to go through the same thing.

Falling in love is easy for this small car that has luxury feels. I like the Pop Hatchback. This has 38mpg just in time for expensive gas price too. Base price starting at $15k.

I heard some friends with bachelor’s degree resulting to walmart careers or store stocker as long as they can make money to help them pay their expenses. Some jobs doesn’t require a college degree but you cannot be choosy if you need to make a living. As long as you work and make money, that’s enough. Remember, that your pride cannot feed your family.

I’m glad that I still have three lenses left that will work on the FX format.. but still need to though. I will think of that part once I get the camera.

Please email me or comment below for the questions.

I heard that the weather is like what we have in the Philippines, very tropical. So will be bringing more summer clothes.

I want to order this personalized pajamas that me and my sister can wear while enjoying few days there, but wasn’t able to order it on time to arrive before our departure. Anyway, there will always be a next time to get this. Maybe next time we can bring the kids.

I have cortex headphones and a webcam to consider next month. My daughter is crazy making videos and singing on the computer for her cousins lately. I’m sure I need to analyze this next month if this will be on needs or wants category.

Do you always give things that your kids asked? I normally don’t. Sometimes it depends on the benefit they will get from it.

By the way, below are the shirts I got for the kids.

I’ve always wanted to have a curly hair. I remember that my mom permed my hair twice when I was a kid. But it doesn’t last a week then it will go back to being straight. I don’t know what happened now but my hair is not straight anymore but wavy. I have a tourmaline iron to straighten hair and it can also create curls but I find it too hard.

One time I saw this tourmaline barrel on demo at the mall and I know right away that I like it and it will be easier to use in creating curls. However, I’m not willing to pay the high price. I already spent money on the tourmaline flat iron so not again on the barrel.

So, imagine how excited I am when I saw this this HerStyler barrel on sale? So much excited that I asked the lady to test it right away and wanted to go back to try it on my hair. lol I’m so happy with this purchase. Will try to post some photos sometime.

I have always loved living in the great state of Texas. One of my favorite songs since I was little has been Deep In The Heart Of Texas. I am a southernerthrough and through and I don’t think I would even consider moving out of this state unless it was in drastic situation. All of my family is here and all of my friends are still here for the most part too. Besides all of the good looking cowboys and the great food here another great thing is that you can shop your utility providers. I know it sounds like a weird thing to be excited or passionate about but once you try it you will see that it is something to bet pumped about. Saving money is no joke these days. Everyone is looking for a way to cut a few dollars off of their budget here and there and I am included in that. The last time I checked my rates I went online and found that they had a better rate than I was currently getting. Never hurts to check!

A friend is suggesting me to buy a yamaha hs50m to start with powerful speaker since we already have a keyboard and guitar to play with. This speaker features the following:

· 70W biamped power
· 5" neopropylene woofer with low-damping rubber surrounds
· 3/4" tweeter
· Flat 55Hz-20kHz frequency response
· High-quality MDF enclosure with mulitple-layer finish and lighted Yamaha tuning fork logo
· Single XLR and 1/4" inputs
· Master level control
· Room control and frequency response switches allow custom tailoring to a number of rooms and applications
· Magnetically shielded

The price is also awesome for this kind of speaker with all these features. Will see if we can set up a mini music studio for the kids.

The truck for the little boy because he adores trucks, specially garbage trucks. I don’t need to wait to shop for their birthday cause everyday is meant to be special and gifts can be given throughout the year.

I had a chance to try this and I adore this camera!!! I like it but I don’t have funds to buy a new one.. the body currently cost $1500. And the new Nikon D4 is almost $6000. Yaaay! I wish I have funds to splurge on things like this. Below are the snapshots from D7000 with 50mm lens.
