The year is end...

Yea the year is about to end and yet another is about to begin. Lots of great things happened, I can only be thankful. As for us, the kids are really growing up so fast and the big brother is getting smarter and sillier everyday. He loves to play my online games and good at it, lol! He's also more observant and curious, especially with the television programs, he seem to copy stuff he sees. It's a good thing we have a direct TV, with its many channels available, we can choose which shows are good for the little ones. I like the educational programs designed for the kids. Plus, because it's direct TV service, the quality is far more detailed and clear. Am smiling every time I see the little man sing along the alphabet and count numbers.

Well, that's just an example of what direct TV packages has to offer. For the grown ups, we have hundreds of channels to enjoy. Sports, news, movies, international programs, all in high definition quality. I'm pretty sure lots of you out there is looking for great direct TV deals, isn't it? There's a really nice offering from a leading provider, it's like their gift for you this holidays so hurry up and avail it.

To all the moms, we rock! May we have a blessed and happy life forever with our loved ones!

Living Longer

What does it take to stay healthy and live longer? "A personality tendency to preserve a consistent mood that is largely free of psychological distress promotes physical health much more than exercise or eating habits do," says Dr. George Vaillant of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston. Vaillant’s contention is based on an ongoing study of over 230 men who were originally recruited in 1942. At age 52, the men who were in good health were divided into three groups: those considered to be "distressed" (they had abused alcohol, regularly used tranquilizers, or consulted a psychiatrist), "undistressed" (they had never abused alcohol, ingested mood-altering drugs, or consulted a psychiatrist), and "intermediate" (they were between the other two groups). At 75 years of age, "only 5 percent of the [undistressed] had died, compared to 25 percent of the intermediate group, and 38 percent of the distressed men," reports Science News. Certainly, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly help to promote good health. But "longevity, at least for men, seems to depend on a penchant for emotional stability that wards off extreme pangs of depression," says Science News.

Beach wish!

Few more days to go and we're to welcome 2010 already. Looking back the things that happened to me this year, I say t'was great. Family life is beautiful everyday, with the kids growing up like weeds, ever adorable and cute. I can't ask for more really, wait, except for my one wish though. Actually it's quite simple, go to the beach that is. I've said about it all the time, that I missed the beach so much. And there's only one place I can think of, Myrtle Beach Resorts, it's the closest destination to us.

Oceanfront Myrtle beach resorts is no doubt the number 1 beach destination in America because of it's beauty, warmth, attractions, and of course the great deals available too. I heard that during this winter season, many loves to visit Myrtle since they have these great activities tourist can enjoy. It's like summer fun at winter time! So anyway just check out beach resorts Myrtle beach if you want to plan your escapade there. As for me, guess I wouldn't stop bugging the husband to take the family to the beach soon. It'll be great, winks!

5 years ago!

OMG! this was me 5 years ago! I found this photo when i was checking on something and caught my attention haha. I was too skinny then when my fiance(husband) came to visit me. I just love this shot of me because of me so thin obviously am a.k.a slim "slash" sexy LOL compare me at present but am working on it though to loss some weight before we go back to PH one day soon. Am glad i found this picture because it gives me more motivation to make things possible that i will really gain my figure back or even just close to this!! I'll be strict and tough love on my self starting right now! So watch out girl friend! lol.

road helpers

Packing your bags this holidays? Maybe you're off for a trip or short vacation, whatever your plans, you must check out some motorhome towing by Good Sam road assistance and RV. You know, just in case roadside emergencies arise, they're the right buddy to help. Might wanna keep their numbers handy so our joyrides can be fun and hassle free.

EVERYDAY MOTHER'S DAY

I just wanna thank Jenie for sharing me this award for mommies. Again appreciated it so much!
Am sharing this as well to all mothers i know here in blogesphere feel free to grab it!

Had a little chat

With an old friend recently and it's nice to know that he's now a family man already. It's been decades since I've heard something from him and his family. Now he has too kids and we talked about life insurance rates. According to him, he's kinda like skeptical about it but told him that it does have lots of benefits. You know, it pays to be prepared especially now that he's already a dad. Well, nice hearing from you again old fellow, lol!

No way!

That's the famous word for Kurdapyo right now, every time we ask him something that he doesn't like or doesn't want to do he does say "No way, i don't like it", (w/matching funny tone) lol! at first we kinda wondering where he got these words till i found out that it's from Go Diego Go, haha! He'll be 3 years old in march and he know so many things already it is so funny to hear him talking alone every time he is playing at his computer or in his playing room or even with us. He asks his self and answers him self with all this neat and funny words i swear. This time he's fond of jigsaw puzzles and i am surprised and amazed by him i tell you he can play alone after the first time teaching him you know. Oh am just so proud of my lil kurdapyo with all my heart! Am sure all mothers are proud of their kiddos right! Winks!

Sail away!

Would you like travel in a cruise ship? Who wouldn't? Most of us probably consider it to be the ultimate vacation of a lifetime, something we longed for and dream about. The good news is there are now cheap cruises available, lots of great deals actually and you can search them online which makes it easier. With a little saving here and there, maybe soon you can pack your bags and sail away. This is something my mom's good friend experienced just this year. She and her family had a Caribbean cruise. They toured around Miami, Bahamas, and hopped by many other lovely spots. Their pictures painted so many words really, they surely had fun and unforgettable vacation.

I'm just wondering though, for people taking a cruise, what are their preparations for such trip? Is it the same with other vacations, like going to the beach or camping? From what I saw in the movies, cruise ships are often associated with parties, fireworks, shows, couples, and fun, fun, fun! Well I wish I can go for a cruise someday, with my loved ones of course. Who knows, as what I've said, it's getting affordable these days so it's not impossible anymore. What do you think?

Mellow Yellow Monday #48

It's Monday again time for MYM thingy, so heres my entry for the week! My son in a yellow wagon was taken last summer playing with his cousins. He truly loves outdoors fun well thats what kids do like! lol.

Girl power and Ski

I hate winter to be honest, but there's one thing I think would be impossible if not for this freezing cold weather and icy slopes. Ski, that is. I've never tried it though, and I don't think I can, lol! But many people especially during these season are off to their ski holidays. Since it's a group activity, as early as now, enthusiast across the world are starting to book already. They really want to participate and enjoy huh! But did you know that there's some kind of discrimination in this kind of sport? I'm talking about the Olympic Winter Games. It is the only activity that does not allow women to compete. But the fact is, women are very much capable of ski jumping, most of them even winning in international ski competitions.

Because of this, a petition is being raised to ask the International Olympic Committee to uphold the true spirit and intent of the Olympic Games to add women's ski jumping event for the coming 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Why not? I mean, it's a man's sport but ladies can definitely kick their butt don't they? Let's just hope for the best and watch the Olympics. By the way, let me ask, have you tried skiing? How does it felt like? I bet it's a total blast!

A mother is special.

She's as soft and graceful as a butterfly,

yet as strong and courageous as a grizzly bear.

Her heart is large enough to hold everyone's pain and joy.

Her hands are always gentle and soothing.

Her arms are always warm and tender.

She works hard to make a home feel like home,

and she strives to make life pleasant

and comfortable for those she loves.

She never fails to go that extra mile to

make the holidays happy and memorable.

Her job is the most difficult and

demanding ever known to any human being,

yet she's fully dedicated to the task.

She's always there for her family,

guiding them and keeping them safe from harm.

She owns a magical way to raise

spirits and make everything feel better.

And her sympathy, unselfishness

and forgiveness are unending.

All that anyone is or could ever hope to be

can be attributed to a mother.

She instills the teachings

that will last a lifetime.

She sows the seeds of virtue and morality,

and in the process, she opens up love

and vast horizons.

She's always watching and hoping that

her children's goals will have meaning.

She always listens and tries to understand

even when it's difficult to do so.

She's a true friend in every sense of the word.

She's noble and sublime,

and holds all the beauty of a golden day,

yet even during the storms,

she always shines bright like an evening star.

Her name should be honored well,

for she's the closest thing to God on earth.
