My 2 year old now - on saying NO

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Of all the words your child is picking up this year, it may seem like he has one grand favorite: “NO.” What’s the attraction? Preschoolers say “no” a lot because they’re discovering their own free will. “No” is a handy way to voice their opinion. (Sometimes they even say “no” when they really mean “yes.”) Sometimes a not-very-verbal child will resort to “no” just because he’s mad or flustered and struggling to get his point across. Your preschooler may also learn that if he says it loudly and forcefully enough, Mom and Dad will really pay attention … they might even go along with it!

Giving your child choices is one way to reduce the number of no’s you hear from him. Also, encourage him to answer in a quiet voice, and coach him in some alternatives: “What’s the opposite of ‘no’? ‘Yes!’” “You can say ‘no,’ or you can say ‘yes,’ or guess what’s in the middle? You can say ‘maybe!’”

Tatay’s Bday Cake

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

It’s our man’s big day last wednesday, and since he is not here to celebrate with us, we just decided to get him a birthday cake and let our little girl blow the candle as we sing a happy birthday song for him - and what’s really nice is that the husband was able to see the whole thing in action, via web cam! :D thank heavens for technology! And while my mom,sister and aunt sing a song for the birthday celebrant who is watching via web cam, I of course took snaps of everything! :D And how about the cake? it was so moist and yummy! I now have to search for top rated weight loss pills that my mom and I must try! :D

Again, happy birthday husband! more to come!

heart weddings!

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized
I love weddings! I just do. Even when I was still young, I always dream of myself walking down the long aisle towards the man of my dreams, aka my Prince Charming! Well, it happened some three years ago, though I must admit that our wedded life is not all bed of roses, I still would marry the man I sad Yes to. Sounds mushy I know, but who cares? I know a lot feels the same way too.

And speaking of Wedding, I always love helping out friends who are asking my help for some destination weddings ideas. Good thing I was able to save a list that I used during our wedding preparation, and it was www.karismahotels.com that has been a great help for us during those times, from my wedding packages to honeymoon offerings to just about anything, it was all gotten from the said site. Truly helpful for those who are planning to tie the knot.

35 years of HELLO KITTY

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Earlier today, the daughter and I saw the Mc Donald’s tv ad about their latest Happy Meal collectibles, and we were so surprised to know that they are offering Hello Kitty items! 35 pieces of different styles (which I still don’t know pa what specific thing each can do)… So when I learned that my mom is going out (she’ll pick up the mini televisions as what my daughter calls it whatever) we asked her to buy one for the little brat.

And mom came home with this… my daughter’s first Happy Meal Hello Kitty toy :D … I would love to collect all 35, but mom heard that Mc Donald’s branches are running out of stock already, so I suggest those who would love to collect too must hurry before it runs out! Let’s go! — Burger Utaan 101.

wondering

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

As I was blogging about Las Vegas Accounting Firm, I realized that in whatever business or institution a person or a group of individual puts up, they must and be able to prove how worthy they are. Let’s just take for example the said accounting firm that has been in the business for so many years, their number of clients and the lenght of their service to them can be a proof of their credibility. It made me wonder how the other accounting firm, the struggling ones I must say can compete with the stable ones. We all know that people are wise enough to get only the service of the proven and worthy one and I bet that what makes this Las Vegas accounting firm a leading third party company in LV. For all the great finished project they’ve made in different aspects of auditing and whatever. So what are the chances of the not so famous firms then? well, I’m just curious.

So heart their tank collection especially the first photo, lookie! it’s so me! blogging and tank love combine! woohoo! Gotta have, must have tanks all for $10 and below :D

Taurus
(Apr 20 - May 20)

This can be a very creative phase for you, but increased responsibilities can weigh you down and prevent you from having fun. Nevertheless, your willpower is strong and if you set your mind on something, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to get it. Your accomplishments may not come easily now, but fortunately, your extra efforts should pay off.


on beauty blogging

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

I’ve been blogging about beauty school indianapolis and the advantage of enrolling in the accredited institution in my other blogs already and all the perks and good effects of inquiring at FindABeautySchool.com and really, it made me so interested in studying again that even a short course will do. Actually, the husband and I talked about this already and he is quite interested too, especially if our plans will push through, having additional knowledge on the skill part is another advantage on our part. That is why, as early as now, I am looking for an accredited school that offers quick and short courses like cosmetology that I can grab, hopefully when schedule and mommy duties will set out right, I can make way for another round of schooling. I just hope my brain condition will still  work out right. :)

The Time Traveler’s Wife

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

A Chicago librarian suffers from a rare genetic disorder that sends him hurtling through time whenever he is under extreme duress; despite the fact that he vanishes at inordinately frequent and lengthy intervals, he attempts to build a stable future with the beautiful young heiress he loves. Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams star in this dramatic fantasy, which is directed by Robert Schwentke and based on the best-selling book by author Audrey Niffenegger.

ttw

Clare has been in love with Henry her entire life. She believes they are destined to be together, even though she never knows when they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler–cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through his lifespan with no control. Despite the fact that Henry’s travels force them apart with no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love.

truth be told. Acai.

Reposting a RANT on GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

*** I’m being on a rant mode tonight, let me be. After watching Vilma Santos’ special few minutes ago I remember how Cavite Provincial Capitol does their strut! - the negative way! here’s my rant written 2 years ago.
****
i’m still alive! yep yep, i just had so many things to settle. done with the house move, but not yet finish with arranging things and stuffs. clutter-home that’s what we have now. :) i only have little time for bloghopping and some paid opps but updates and daily stories are piled up. sorry for the delay…

so there, last week — my 1st week of being SAHM, was technically not spend inside the house, i had to accompany my mother to the Cavite’s Provincial Capitol in Trece Martirez City to pick up the actually released lot title that was processed months ago. but as expected, the person in charge was nowhere to be found! 3 consecutive days of hoping he’ll arrive. good thing i was able to set my mind how Government employees does their work. really, it sucks. another thing that icks me is how their system works, i mean, lucky you if you know somebody working on the inside because for sure you’ll be serve well and on time. but pity for those who doesn’t know one… forever you will wait and have a good view of the well-maintained government system we have. hopeless. out of the 10 clerks you’ll see 8 of them texting or munching crackers or having gossip with co-workers. when approach by someone who needs to process papers and doesn’t know the ins and outs expect that you’ll get slap back answer. mga antipatika! kala mong kagaganda! mga hitad!

another thing that catches my attention was the inside of the provincial capitol, i mean if you can only see how magnificent the landscaping of the outside you wouldn’t think that the inside is still the same old dim lighted, electric fan ventilated with hand written signages in and out of the offices departments. and the of course, forbidden selling of anything inside the capitol… but look at the pictures below, under the sign were the local vendors with their baskets and baskets of goodies, all for sale! Pinoy Style at its Finest!

and yes, that’s my mom haggling for the peanuts and lansones! cool noh?! hehehe…
around 1pm today, i’ll be back to the capitol to get (hopefully it’s done) the title…

pills or exercise?

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

I have been thinking lately if I would go for those diet pills or drugs that are being sold in the market today,having been known to suppress ones appetite, I am one hell of an intrigue lady here. I mean, c’mon everyone wants to get back to their before pregnancy body, right, and I am one of those many mommies hoping that one day, the before waistline measurement would come back. But you see, being so busy and lazy forbids me not to get the right work out exercise I should have, thus inquiring for such diet pills is something I do for now. Who knows, I might get the body I want after some number of tablets.But of course, there are ways to do things naturally, just like exercising!

cute beddings

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Been days since my sister and I search over the net for affordable yet elegant and dainty Baby Bedding Setsfor my daughter. Which reminds me that it’ll also be perfect as gifts for my Godchildren on Christmas or their birthdays! You see, I have this thing for giving bed stuff for my favorite kids during their special occasions, but of course it also depends on my budget during the event, if it luckily falls when I have enough money to buy gift, I usually buy comforter sets and crib bumper sets but if I’m a little short of budget, I usually end up getting hampers, curtains, pillows and even cute bed sheets for the celebrant. And for this year, hopefully money wouldn’t be a problem, I’d get my nieces dainty looking bedding set from babybeddingpalace.com - a site that offers affordable but super nice bedding sets for the youngsters! Look at the sample pictures below I snagged from their site, everything is so lovely! I’d probably end up hoarding so many designs for my dearest kiddo!

Chanel Love

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Maybe I’m just one of those late bloomers when it comes to fashion or whatever. But lately, I’ve been seeing so many celebrities and fashion icons wearing these lovely Chanel earrings, and yes, I just love it! Had to google it and see how much this eye candy will cost me… well, in case I decided to take the plunge and but a pair for moi.
Oh God, how I wish to have more moolah so I can own a pair of these pretty pairs!

The last photo is actually my latest desire - saw this worn by Kris Aquino and Bea Alonzo, and it’s super eye catching… I totally dig it! :D
