Sing a long

It’s been so long that I haven’t been in a videoke night out.  My friend’s keeps on planning for our bonding time but our schedules never met and so we just keep on planning, different places, time and occasions.  So when we still have funds left and we decided to enjoy our time together, I immediately booked a reservation in Centerstage and told them, it’s now or never.  We decided to invite Tin and her family and good thing she has to attend the opening of a bar just a floor below our place and they came with her family and friends.




I’ve been in dentist that afternoon and I worried that I might end up just singing the song with them without any microphone.  But my love of singing urges me to try singing even a high note song and I passed the test of courage. Ha-ha! We ordered cocktail drinks and we chomps down pizza, barbeque, cheese sticks and onion rings.  We end the night talking over coffee and planning for the next night out.  It’s fun having your friends around you and having a good time once in a while.  It relieves the stress from your daily routine at the office.

Dream Big

With the rising popularity of the stock markets nowadays, there no way that it can’t reach our office because many of my office mates are into hot technology penny stocks and they are making good in it. I feel happy for them, with sky rocket prices of commodities and basic needs these days, I know that you just can’t rely on your salaries with high income tax deductions each payday. They say this is the time that you dream being big even without having to cash out big amount of money. Just learned the technique and all will went smooth with the help of Timothy Sykes.




I know someday, I will eventually join the bandwagon. I love to learn how to trade stocks and my boss who’s into this long time ago will surely help me to succeed. With the rising expenses and of my baby boy, I think it’s time to plan his future and for his education someday. They said you don’t need much to be able to do this but I will save to make it happen. Good thing hubby supported me and thanks God that I was surrounded by good people who are all willing to share their blessings.

Maki

When I saw this familiar sandwich snack at the office cafeteria, I thought wow, I haven’t made this delicious snack for years and the urged to be able to cook again the Maki sandwich or sometimes called Monte Cristo is great that I told hubby I should shop for its ingredients over the phone, and he said, “it’s nice to hear that, let’s go!”


 
Well, maybe one thing that stops me from doing it more often is because it’s not that easy to cook. You have to very patient in making this kind of snack and you have to stay longer in front of your stove because it will burn the eggs coat in the sandwich if left out for even a minute. But the results will always be phenomenal because it is delicious and tasty and full that hubby can’t stop praising me about it. He made me cook lumpiang togue that day and I wanted to do my maki sandwich so the results were quite exhausted me.


I told you before that just by looking at their satisfied faces is enough for me. But just like cooking lasagna, cooking Maki sandwich will happen again if I have plenty of time but not in the next few months.

New Gadget

I never used to in buying top of the line cell phones because I believe I have so many things to buy for myself and for my family than invest with just one high priced phone.  A simple one with most of the phone features you will like is enough for me.  My hubby used to ask me before if I wanted the latest cell phone model as a gift but I always answered no.  But when I saw that most of my friends and office mates are all gagging in downloading free android app and having their time of their lives playing the games and busy sharing mobile applications, I told myself I should at least buy my own latest cell phone that is not that expensive.  My ever generous husband happily bought me my new cell phone that can say is way much better than my old one. 

They gave me this FreeNew site that can help me with all the software and applications I needed for my cell phone and even for my laptop too! I always heard them talking about it before and I’m so excited I have it now because I can do whatever I want with it.  And I’m glad I changed my mind.

Mom's Special Day

We celebrated Mother’s day at the newly opened Shakey’s restaurant in Paranaque with my hubby’s relatives. We missed my Mom who usually celebrates with us but can’t be with us that day because she need to rest after having a numb feeling on her feet because of high blood pressure.  We just went to their house and celebrate with her a day before their special day.  She looks happy and relaxes by just looking at her grandsons and granddaughters playing around the house.  I asked hubby if we can let Nathan sleep with them once a month aside from a whole day visits every week because I can feel that it is what makes my Mom so happy. 



As a mother like them now, I wish I can have their powers to raise my kid just like they raised us before.  I wanted to concentrate more with Nathan when he started to go to school but I hope we have enough savings by then, or I can go on some small time business while attending to my family needs.  I just wish my mother will stay longer with us so she can guide me with Nathan.  I am forever grateful with her for raising five of us without any nanny help or relatives by her side.  I can’t thank her enough and I wish I can give all she wants now.  I'm being sentimental right now :)


The dinner date with my hubby’s mom and relatives were quite fun with Nathan digging more on the mojo potatoes.  We hope we can go out together like this once again before the school year starts.

Long Flight

Hubby and I are always fond of travelling.  Sometimes when he went abroad for some business trips, he wished I was with him so I can see the world with him.  I’ve been saving up for our family trips and now hubby is keen to push through with our long time plan.  Nathan is growing fast and can now appreciate everything around that amaze him.  So we thought it is the right time to go abroad and we will try to visits our relatives and friends.

So I need to look for good travel agents to help us on our needs because I don’t want to go to a certain place without even have knowledge about it.   We will be travelling with our kid and this should be a dream trip to all of us.  I am more excited by just thinking on the many places we can visit with my whole family on my side.  I shouldn’t forget the tips for going overseas that according to my friend who frequently travels abroad is a must.  I need to know more about travelling with kids to ensure their safety.  We will have to find the right moment to pack up and enjoy our ultimate trip this year.

Raffle Prizes


One thing I really like in attending parties is the raffle draws and game prizes. I love to bring the kid out of me and I participated in all the games I can join. Well, it’s fun to be like a child sometimes, no stress, no pressure, no inhibitions, and no reservations just being happy all the times. So during the party in Tin get together last week, I never knew I would be getting a box set of beauty products from a raffle draw, I’m thinking lady luck is nowhere when the cell phones and Starbucks gift certificates are being given away one by one, but just when I thought that I will be going home empty handed, Tin called my name and there it is, one of the few raffle prizes left.





Patience is really a virtue. But above all that, I can see that everyone went home after the party with the smile on their faces. It’s all worth it.

Online Opportunity

A close friend of mine decided to resign from her work to concentrate on her new job as full time mother to her new born baby girl.  As months passed by and she started missing the office job and her own earnings and bonus.  But she doesn’t want to leave her son at home with her nanny and she said she’s enjoys every minute watching her baby grow.   Her husband noticed that and asked her if she wanted to start her online business, where she can work and take care of the baby without leaving the comfort of their home. 


She’s delighted to hear the good news and started her plans right away because she knows some people who can help her with the merchandise to sell on line.  But she don’t want to burden her hubby with the money so she’s asking her friends if they know something about online business loans that will help to start her newest project.  When we meet last week to celebrate a friend’s birthday, we teased her that maybe she wanted to buy another house that she needed a lot of cabbage (means cash) so she wanted to venture on an online business.  Well maybe we can help her with some things to sell after all I think that’s a very good idea.

Party!

After of almost 1 month of preparations, we finally had our first get together party for Tin.  And all the hard works, patience and team work paid off because the results are awesome.  We had a blast that night and everybody is happy with all the raffle draw prizes and give away like button pins and Tin’s personalize mugs. 

I gave the credits to the admins of the group because despite of some brouhaha they still managed to have a party that Tin and her family really enjoyed.  I was so tired after the get together but was so happy knowing I shared it with them.  I’m not an old timer in that group but they asked for my help for my party contacts and catering and they are so thankful I helped them in that aspect.  I already told a friend that I can’t support that much because Nathan needs my full attention every weekend, but they said all I have to do is help them with their plans.  I’m so glad I met them, I have a new set of friends because of Tin.
