Choosing between Be with the one you love and The one who loves you... I chose both. Giving up my career and move to a different country where you feel like stranger wasn't that easy as I thought it would, but no regrets. I have two adorable and wonderful good children to share life with, and responsible husband. They are my family, which I'm proud and happy to call it my own.
This was during his first birthday, We let him feed himself with the spaghetti and cake so he will enjoy his birthday.
Yesterday, I posted Jake's Activity, with all his playing, laughing, giggling, climbing and all that, he had to pay for a prize. He was crying and fussing on his sleep last night. Good thing this morning he was fine and happy happy joy joy again hehe grin.
It's been raining all day here; hubby and I are both lazy to do things around even playing with our buckaroo. It's not Wordless Wednesday anymore its more on Word full, Wildness Wednesday for Jake. He was just playing all day, laughing, running around, talking blah blah blah, climbing everywhere just to amuse himself, well at least less fussing and crying though.
I am over eight months pregnant, so I know about all of the things that run through your head when you are about to have a baby. One thing that I have been reading a lot about is the idea of storing my baby's umbilical cord blood. It has the potential to save by baby's life one day as well as his or her siblings. Umbilical cord blood stem cells can be used to treat over 75 diseases and have also been used in many transplants. If you are thinking about this, then you should look into storing your baby's cord blood with Cryo-Cell.

The Buckaroo doing his pindot thingy at the computer, he is good at that. If he gets bored playing with his toys, this buckaroo would just climb on top of my chair and start clicking buttons on the computer. So I gave him the chance to seat there and do blogging. The smile in his face was priceless, his grinning ear to ear as if he owns the computer now and he can do whatever he wants.
Shopping for baby clothings are very expenssive especially for the girls, would you agree with me? Last weekend we went to this store in our previous neighborhood called Child Wardrobe and Adults too. They have tons of baby clothings and stuff, and its so cheap. We got all these for 15 bucks only, quiet reasonable for 3 pieces of girl dresses, 1 pair pants, a pair of sandals, socks and a dollar shirt hehe ^grin^. We also bought more clothings for her at Walmart. Plus, other gifts we got from some friends, relatives and family friend. This tiny dresses are just so darn cute. Aren't they? Hope you all guys had a nice manic monday.
When you take your family on vacation, you want to get the most out of it. Vacations are a special time for a family, and they do not come every day. If you are looking for that perfect place where everyone will come home satisfied, then you should look into a vacation in Branson, Missouri. Known as the entertainment capital of the Midwest, Branson has many different ways for your family to have fun. If you like live theater, then you will want to check out one of the 49 live entertainment theaters. Or maybe you would like to take your children to one of the local theme parks. If you make your hotel reservations at either the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing or the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel, you will be very close to all of the action including antique shops, specialty boutiques, and outlet malls. At either of those hotels, you might be able to enjoy their "third night on us" package where your third night is free. This special offer is subject to availability. Your evenings will be just as fun. You can go to the Trofi Restaurant within the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel, or you can be amazed by the beautiful water fountain that has a fire and light display going in rhythm with the music of downtown Branson. Personally, I would love to see that after a long day of shopping. For live entertainment there is the Polynesian Island Fire Show, the Cirque Montage, and Dolly Parton. I have always liked her! No matter what you choose to do, it should be a jolly time for everyone. Since I have never been to Missouri, I am hoping that my husband takes me to Branson soon.
Today, July 27th Philippine time is my Father's 64th Birthday. A just gave him a call to greet on his special day. As usual he thought he is old already, he asked me if I could send Jake in there (Cagayan, phil.) so that he will have a playmate and buddy when he goes for his Sunday cock fighting hobby. Anyway, Happy Birthday Pa, may you have many, many, many more birthdays to come and May all your wishes come true. Here is the poem that describes our Father Dodong Poldo.
He wasn't walking yet in these picture, he was just playing with the music in his walker.If you are expecting a child in the near future, I know from experience that it can be an exciting yet frightening time in your life. All sorts of questions come to your mind about how you are going to protect your little bundle of joy. There are many things that you can do, but nothing will protect your baby more in the long run than saving and storing your baby's umbilical cord blood with Cryo-Cell. Umbilical cord blood can be used to treat over 75 known diseases and has been used in over 12,000 transplants all over the world. Cyro-Cell is the leader in quality accreditations among all private cord blood banks, and right now, they have an offer that you simply can not pass up. With Cyro-Cell's exclusive premium family service "Protect Baby, Protect Mom", you can get a price of $995 for umbilical cord processing, cord testing, and the first year of storage.

For this package you need to use the promotional code P2PS when you order. Do it for your baby, and do it for your own piece of mind. Both of you deserve it.
We took Jake early morning yesterday to a Lab test to take his blood test if he was positive with Lead. We were so proud with the buckaroo, he was a tough baby. When the nurse started cleaning his finger with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic) he was just staring at her and curious about whats going on. The nurse did the test at the tip of his middle finger instead to the inside of the elbow or back of his hand. That must be so hard for her to draw some blood at Jake's finger since our finger doesn't have that veins compared to our arms. Next, the lady gently inserted a needle to his finger tip but no tube in it, coz she pulled the needle out and started pressing Jake's finger to draw some drops of blood and put them into a tube. The buckaroo cried when the nurse almost done collecting the blood and covered the puncture site with bandage to stop any bleeding. I think he already felt the pain from his finger being squeezed for quiet a while to get those blood but by the time we got out from the room he was not crying anymore, in fact he cried more when you took toys from him compared to that blood test. In the car until we got home I just kept giving him food so he won't messed up with the bandage.
My husband and I are planning of buying a house in next three to four years from now. With our struggling economy, money is tough and it is hard to buy a house now.

I just want to give credit to my Babger who wrote a good post yesterday "People: Do what you say you'll do". He was very nice to share his thoughts and opinion yesterday. He only voice it out what was inside his mind. We were both upset and disappointed with AdSense for they disabled my account for one reason; invalid clicks. How the hell we would know who click the invalid ads and which is which they are talking invalid clicks, And why is it they let us reached over a hundred before determining that the clicks are invalid? We tried to make an appeal but they just gave us a whole bunch of BS question. They ask a lot of unrelated question which you don't have any idea what was it all about. An appeal process was supposed to give you a chance to appeal your case, but that's not what they ask. We do not know who clicks the ads... duh!agh!!! it was very upsetting and disappointing because we were looking forward to pay us next month. Has anyone out there encountered this situation? what did you do to fight for your loss?
I posted in my other blog when tsang Dhemz sent me a package last month, well guys this is what inside the package. 
A yummy dried fish that I think it's almost everybody fave in the Island of Philippine and some xoxo hehehe and sweet treats for Jake from her precious daughter Akesha. I fried the last pieces in that package with my hotdog and sun sunny side up eggs which I accidentally put too much pepper. I ate this all by myself with my hubby's wrinkled face right in front of me because of the dried fish smell all over the place. If you are in the Philippines right now, for you this stuff is just an ordinary food because we have it there all the time for such an affordable price or sometimes our neighbors would just love to share dried fish to you. But people like me who live a million miles from PI and don't have any filipino store to buy dried fish would be delighted to receive this kind of gift from a very dear friend tsang Dhemz who understand my situations and cravings for Filipino food.

If you are like most people, you need some kind of vacation every once in a while. If you want to have the time of your life on your vacation, then you should go to Branson, Missouri. Branson is affectionately known as the entertainment capital of the Midwest, and it deserves this label. My husband tells me that Missouri is absolutely beautiful, and I can not wait for us to go there someday. In Branson, you will find everything that you desire for a vacation. There are many local shops and boutiques to satisfy your thirst for shopping, and there are plenty of quality restaurants for eating out with your family. The Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel are conveniently located right in the middle of all of the fun and action of Branson, so you will have the best hospitality during your stay. If you go there, make sure that you experience the Payne Stewart Golf Course. Even if you do not play golf, you will be amazed at the overall beauty. My husband would most certainly play some golf if he had the chance. I think that I would prefer to spend an afternoon at one of the lakes near Branson and get some sun. Then I would really like to see their scenic river walk and possibly squeeze in dinner at an elegant restaurant.
There really aren't too many things that are more frustrating than when somebody says they'll do something and then doesn't go through with it. If you are a single person with no attachments in life, it hurts. If you have a spouse and kids, then you aren't the only one affected. It hurts your whole family. I know that when some of you read this you will agree that it really stinks when this happens. But, this works both ways. Let us all remember to honor our own statements as well. Think about what you are saying when you commit to something. Make sure that you will be able to do what you are saying, and make sure that you do it in the time frame that you said you would. Thanks for listening.
Hi everyone! Summer is about half over now, but there is still time to take your family on that well deserved vacation. If you are still in the planning stage, then you should focus your attention on a vacation in Branson, Missouri. Branson is considered the entertainment capital of the Midwest, and it certainly lives up to that name. In Branson, you will be charmed by all of the quaint little shops and boutiques for a nice day of shopping, and you will be amazed at the breath taking beauty of the Payne Stewart Golf Course which was designed by the golfing legend himself. I have never been to Missouri, but my husband promises to take me one day soon. We will definitely give Branson a look for our itinerary. I think that I would love to go to one of the nearby theme parks for a day of acting like a kid again. If you do go to Branson, make sure that you make your lodging reservations at either the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing or the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. At either place you will enjoy the superior hospitality of Hilton. Maybe you would enjoy the bed and breakfast package that Hilton offers. After breakfast, your husband could go golfing while you do some shopping. Then maybe the whole family would enjoy an afternoon at one of the local museums. In the evening, you can all go see some live theater and then eat out at a nice restaurant. No matter how you spend your time in Branson, it will be fun. Have a nice summer.

When is the last time that you honestly tried to lose some weight and get into better shape? If you pay attention to the latest dieting trends, then you know that there are literally thousands of different diet plans with all kinds of different advice. In my experiences, I have found that one of the best things that you can do is to eat three reasonable meals per day, engage in about 30 to 45 minutes of low to medium impact aerobics every day (such as walking), and drink a lot of water. If you can do that and leave out the snacking, then you will probably lose some weight. Of course, I am no expert, but that has worked for me in the past. Sometimes, a weight loss pill can help expedite your plan. Akavar 20/50 is a weight loss supplement that does just that. If you take two Akavar 20/50 pills before each of your main meals, you will lose weight. It is that simple. It is safe and affordable, and you have nothing to lose except for that extra weight that you do not want anyway. If you want to lose weight, then you have to make a commitment to eating properly, but try the Akavar pills, and see how fast that weight comes off. Good luck with your diet.
Weekend just over and we started our week with busy appointments here and there. Got up so early for a 10:00 o clock appointments for my almost 37 weeks pregnancy. We supposed to only have one appointment for today but ended up having three (3). Of course the buckaroo was with us in every waiting time and had to bribe him with juice, cookie, or anything to munch on and toys so he would stop yelling, screaming and squirming because he got tired setting on his stroller while waiting to be called. We came to the doctor’s office with shoes on and came out with just socks minus the shoes.
However, for the past appointments we had, everything was great, baby's measurement, size, health and everything. Well, today's checkups as usual they checked my weight which I gained 132 lbs, blood pressure; normal, urine was fine, fetal heartbeat- 140 which is normal, height and fetal size; was okay but still has big question mark, baby's position was good; head down, cervix; internal examination both rectal and vaginal which according to my doctor I am already a finger tip dilated and some concerning issue about my wheezing and cough. So, the check up went well, but the doctor had to order us for another ultrasound to see the baby's growth. She said, the baby was kind of small, so they sent us to the ultrasound and had to wait there for another 30 minutes. My husband was pouting already because its Jake's lunch time and nap time and he was getting restless. The ultrasound result came out pretty good, the baby weighs 6 lbs. 2 ounces which is very normal for my size plus I came from the Philippines, where most people are petite or have small genetics compared to Caucasian. I wasn't happy with the person who assists us during the ultrasound, she wasn't friendly at all and she didn't give us the pictures of our baby (from the ultrasound). We headed home and this time it was me pouting and hungry. After our lunch we had to leave again for my general practitioner appointment regarding this darn cough. He run some test to see if something wrong with my heartbeat, if I have asthma, allergy or something and found out nothing. The cause of wheezing and coughing was probably from my pregnancy. He prescribed me other medication and advised to keep using the inhaler or pump. If things not getting well after a week an x-ray exam will be conducted to check my chest. Monday wasn't over yet but I am freakin tired already. Hope you guys had a relaxing monday.
These are some pictures of Jake playing with bb Dallas when we went to vegas last January. 
Everytime we go to the mall we always take Jake to this playground at the mall where in lots of kids playing too. You just have to watch your own kids there because there are also other big kids who played like they own the playground and running around like they never see little kids. I call them "kids with no mercy" hehehehe
I already posted this photo before when our little monkey swinging on his own in this cute little swing.
When we were at the backyard grilling out and playing with the swing.
This is his latest video, playing on his own. His only playmates around is his dada or mama, poor lil guy.
