Tonight is The Bachelorette

This is a guest post from Megan Morton.

Tonight my daughter has two T-ball games to play in right in a row. I love watching her play, but I hate missing my shows because of her games. "The Bachelorette" comes on tonight and it is one of my favorite shows. Since I have a DVR with the best deal on satellite tv, I am able to record the show. This works out perfect for me. I can go and watch my daughter play her games. After the games, I get to come home and turn on the TV. My show will be waiting for me already recorded. I can start the two hour show and actually watch the entire thing in about an hour and half. I will be able to fast forward through all of the commercials so it will save me time. I love not having to miss shows to go to other events. I honestly hated the old days of missing a show or having to record it in a VCR. This is convenient and I like how easy it all works. I can't wait to watch my show tonight.

Father's Day treat for hubby

What did I give hubby on his special day? Aside from the fact that he already got my LOVE and all (LOL), he also got his favorite gadget of all time, the iPad in advance. Actually said gadget is his birthday and father's day gifts rolled into one. He truly deserved it for he is just one amazing man to everybody especially to me and to my little girl.

I also made him a huge American breakfast of fried potatoes with gravy, scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and pan cakes this morning. It has been so long since we had this kind of breakfast. So, I thought it would be great to treat the best man in the house and in the whole world to this huge feast. I am so happy he loved it!

Later, we will have a simple dinner out. I am still not sure where but we are craving for prime rib and steaks these days, so we will see. Anyways, to all the fathers out there:

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Enjoy today and all the days.

Yo Gabba Gabba!

Guest post by Hannah Moss.

Late at night when the kids won't sleep, the show "Yo Gabba Gabba" comes direct tv channels Alabama has. This show has real people and also puppets on it. I feel like it is a very educational show that I don't mind my kids watching at all. It is always teaching them new things.

One great thing about this show is the lessons that they teach to children. They are always talking about things such as don't bite your friends. They talk about ways to share with your friends and the nice way to treat people. I love that involve music into a lot of things on this show. They make up little songs to sign that teach lessons.

They have different kids on the show that are dancing to show you their moves. This is funny and the kids like to dance along with them. They have celebrities that will guest star on this show too. Recently Jack Black was on an episode. It can be a lot of fun seeing them act silly and play with the puppets on the show. I recommend this show to all parents. Your kids will love it and keep on learning to be nice.

Happy Birthday, Hubbypie!

Today is a big day for me for it's my hubby's 43rd birthday! I am really thankful to God for this day for He brought me the most wonderful man in the whole wide world. Words are never enough how grateful I am. I am just so blessed!

Anyway, here's my greetings to my hubby on his FB page:

"Your birthday is a special time to celebrate the gift of "YOU" the world especially to me and to our little bug. If there's something that you're dreaming of then may it all come true, because you deserve it all... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Palanggonggong! Your girls love you so much."

A Mother's Prayer

To all the Mothers out there:

I just love this song - A Mother's Prayer by Celine Dion. What a way to start celebrating this special day for us. I truly hope that all mothers in the world especially my Mama in the Philippines will be happy today and always.

Today is awesome! My special day is already complete since we attended the Holy Mass this morning at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. We will just hang out here at home and will go for a special dinner later. I am just so blessed with everything I have. All I can utter is "Thank you, Lord!" Enjoy your day everyone.

singing along with Alicia Keys

That's Alicia Keys, one of my favorite R&B artists. Have you seen her on American Idol two weeks ago? She was just so awesome. Not only she sings and composes songs wonderfully but she can play piano chords very well. With her playing piano chords at the age of seven, it is no wonder that she is a great a musician thus, all the Grammy awards.

I really admire her, so does my little girl. She just loves Alicia Keys especially her music video, No One. She would take out her toy piano and sing along with the song in our computer. It is really funny to watch. Hubby and I hope that we can get her to a piano lesson so she can learn piano chords in the near future. And who knows, she could be the Alicia Keys in the future. What do you think?

discovering a beautiful gem

That's me and my daughter at a dam in Paradise Canyon Recreation Park in Mico, Texas. We were having a hard time getting a glimpse of Medina Lake during our drive two weekends ago in that area. As we were meandering into a hundreds of private roads, we came to this resort and what a gem it was! It is pretty secluded and you and your family can have picnic there or stay there over night. You can also go for a swim there for there is very beautiful river in the area. Hopefully, we can spend one weekend there this summer. For sure it will be so relaxing and refreshing. Have a good one all!

reconnecting with Em

I just got a call from a batch mate in High School who now lives in Portland, Oregon. Gee, it is so great to chat with her. She saw me through one batch mate and here we are, reconnecting and talking again. Who would have thought that Em and I are here in the United States now. We are both from the Philippines.

In our two hours of chatting, she mentioned that she is on this Herbalife Bizworks as one of her sources of income. Wow, I just can't believe that she is into business much more Herbalife Retail Websites these days. I remember her to be so shy then, so never would I think of her to be a business woman; and she seems to be good at it, too. She even encouraged me to check out Herbalife Weight Loss Challenge Websites since I told her that I am trying to shed some pounds. Em said that Herbalife WLC Website may give me a lot of information about all the nutritional weight loss products in the market today. Hmm, not a bad idea right? I am going to check it out one of these days.

Anyways, I am really happy to be reconnect with her again. Geez, it has been more that 20 years since High School days and hey, we're still here. There is a Silver Jubillee Reunion of my High School Batch brewing on two years from now. So I hope all the plans will push through with God's blessings for I would love to see my batch mates again. It would be grand for sure. Thanks, Em and it was so nice to talk to you again. Hope to chat with you again soon.

a beautiful river in Texas

Isn't that a beautiful river? Where can we find this serene place? I can tell you that it's somewhere in Texas, hahaha. Anyway, just click on the picture so you will know where in the world this jewel is located. Have a lovely day everyone!

de-stressing myself

Hubby and my little girl at Panglao Island in Bohol, Philippines. (2007)

The above picture portrays peace and tranquility; and that's what I need right now. I will keep looking at this picture to de-stress me. Actually I am just missing my family and friends back in the Philippines, that's why I am going through all the pictures of them right now. I hope and pray that we can visit them again in the near future. I am truly looking forward for our next trip there. With God's blessings... Have a beautiful day everyone!
