meet my Kitty Kate...




That's my little girl in her Halloween costume. She was so happy with her get-up for trick or treat especially when she knew that she will go with her cousins. Yeah, my sister-in-law invited us for dinner and for trick or treat fun in their neighborhood. The bug was so excited that she kept bugging me the whole day about it.

I truly hope that she will have fun later for Halloween are for kids, as hubby and I say. May all of you have a wonderful one, too. Enjoy and please, be safe...

hard boiled eggs anyone?




I have found myself eating hard boiled egg during lunch time. Haha, I feel like a Filipino celebrity on crash diet, you think? There is this one Filipino artist whose diet is made of hard boiled egg and boiled banana plantain; and it really works magic on her. So I decided to go for hard boiled eggs for now. I hope it will work for me, too.
I also learned from the net that a hard boiled egg is actually one of the healthiest snacks. Isn't that neat? That means I am heading on the right direction, you would say! Well, here are some nutrition facts about hard boiled egg:

what "big girl" means for my little girl


Hello!

Hubby and I think that it's now time that my four year old girl graduates her car seat. Yes, she is still in her car seat. We have been looking for a reliable and an inexpensive car booster the past few weeks. Unfortunately, the one that we like most is out of stock for the moment. My little girl is so excited to have a booster because for her, it means that she is now a big girl. You know what big girl means to her? It means that she can ride a princess car and that she is entitled to have one for Christmas. :) Hmmm, what do you think? We will see... But for now, we are hoping that we can get her a car booster pretty soon. Have a good one all!

just a relaxing night...

zwani.com myspace graphic comments


It's just another relaxing night for us here in San Antonio. After our filling dinner of pork rib soup and vegetables, we are just couch potatoes while enjoying our favorite TV shows. Right now, So You Think You Can Dance is on and I am also trying to do this post. You know, multi-tasking, LOL!

I am so thankful to God for this wonderful night and for endowing us another day. I always pray for protection for my family here and in the Philippines. Speaking of prayer for protection, here's one that I found in the net that I would like to share with you. I hope you will like it and I am praying that God will always protect us from danger and harm. Have a good one all!


Prayer for Protection

O Lord, grant that this night we may sleep in peace. And that in the morning our awakening may also be in peace. May our daytime be cloaked in your peace.

Protect us and inspire us to think and act only out of love.

Keep far from us all evil; may our paths be free from all obstacles from when we go out until we return home.

your exquisite lingerie

When we were at the Filipino Express, a Filipino restaurant here in San Antonio, I noticed an attractive petite lady wearing sexy mini skirts. You really can’t help but admire her for she really looks good in her outfit. All eyes in the eating placing were on her, I tell you. The skirt that she was wearing just showed off her nicely shaped legs. She was a real stunner!


If only I also have those great legs like that lady in the Filipino restaurant, I would wear miniskirts everyday especially if they are from flirtylingerie.com. As they say, if you have it why not flaunt it? Then, I would also buy a lot of sexy lingerie from that website. They have a wide selection to choose from and all of which are just so beautiful, exquisite and stylish that I am sure you can find some which will suit you perfectly. I am sure it will warm your winter nights, you think? Have a good one all!


kid's fun weekend

Tomorrow is going to be kid's day for my little girl and her cousins. My sister-in-law with her two kids will fetch us here and bring all three to a certain place for playtime. As to where, that I still don't know. Yet, it will be great for kids to see each other again and have fun. My little girl is so excited already that she can't help but always talks about it the whole afternoon today. I just hope that she will be able to sleep good tonight so she will be up and bright for her fun day tomorrow.

What about you, guys? What's the plan for this weekend? I hope all of us will have a fun and wonderful weekend. Just be safe, please?

Kate's Love Story

Here's one more video of my girl singing one of her favorite Taylor Swift's songs, Love Story. As you know that I uploaded a video of her singing, You Belong With Me on my other blogsite. I don't know but she likes Taylor Swift. She always gets excited every time she sees a picture of this teen country singer in the store or anywhere. I hope you find it fun and cute. Enjoy!



She really knows a lot of songs and I promise I will start to record her singing so I can share them with you. Have a good one all!

raising patient kids



I found a good read from my favorite site. It is about how kids learn one family value which is patience. I thought that it is important to instill this virtue while they are still young. But how? That is the big question. It is said that developing patience takes time. It is the ability to endure a difficult situation without complaining. So, here’s one tip to raise a patient child.


MAKE A WISH LIST

When your child has a bad case of the “gimmes” and demands a toy right away, acknowledge the wish (“You wish you could have that toy right now”). Have your child add it to a “wish list” of presents he or she might receive at the next birthday or gift-giving holiday. The simple act of writing down (or drawing or cutting out a magazine picture of the present) gives your child control and increases patience.


Isn’t that helpful especially to us as parents? We also have to always tell them that some things are worth waiting for. To add, this not only applies to children but to us as well, too. Have a good one all!

coping with criticism

I read this article from belief.net about how to the deal the best way with criticism. I find this to be so helpful especially when we come across with people who loves to criticize. In the article, it gives 10 tips on how to cope with criticism but I find this particular one hit me in the best possible way. Not that I am always criticize by somebody close to me but I just want to share this one with you. I am sure it will also hit home with you. Here it goes and I hope you will all have a lovely day.


DRAW CLEAR BOUNDARIES WITH BIG CRITICS


You get to choose who and what you will tolerate in your life. If you are in a personal or working relationship with someone who tries to whittle away your self-esteem by constantly judging and belittling you, you owe it to yourself to create boundaries and to tell that person how you feel when that happens. It’s important for your well-being to remove yourself from that toxic energy. It can weigh you down, stunt your creativity, and make you feel depressed or sick.


Try this: Decide on a specific action you will take if the judger in your life continues to bombard you with criticism. Clearly, lovingly, and firmly tell him or her what you will do if it happens again. For example, you may decide to leave the room, politely excuse yourself from the phone call, or, if it’s serious enough, end the relationship altogether. Be sure to follow through and take that action. When you honor yourself, you are training other people to honor you.
