Hi Happy Halloween to All.
We are going to have a nice weather today. High of 62 degrees and around 48 degrees by sundown. It is perfect for trick or treating.
My daughter will have a halloween parade in school at 10 am. She will be a witch princess this year. We will do trick or treating around the neighborhood around 4 or 5 pm.
See you around witches, ghosts, skeletons ......Boo....boo....booo.......
Last weekend we went to a birthday party. The theme of the party was Bop Along with the Bop-a-lots. They have Huggy bop, Silly bop and Sugar bop at the party. My daughter was dancing with the three mascots. She had so much fun with all her friends and the birthday girl.
Guess what we did after the party? We went to buy Bop-a-Lots dvd which was named as the parenting magazine "dvd of the year!". I recommend this dvd for kids because it teaches the kids “how” to think, encourages and motivate curiosity, playfulness and imagination. This is my daughter’s favorite dvd right now and I will be buying more of this to complete the series.
It's freezing here tonight. My computer registers at 42 degrees but I think it's in the 30's right now. Some parts of New York (upstate) had their first snow. I have not seen on TV yet but my husband told me they already had 13 inches!!!! What Dah!! I don't want that yet. I don't like snow anymore. It was fun during my first year here in Jersey but not anymore now. It's so quite at my house right now, everybody's sleeping. Good night everyone.

Today my friend’s mom is leaving for Manila. She has been my daughter’s companion after she gets off from school until her dad picks her up at 4pm. She has been very good to my daughter and she was like a nanay to us. There will be a lot of changes with our schedule now that Naynay is gone for the meantime.
Today also, we went to my co-workers house so that we could meet my co-worker’s wife who is willing to take Isabella after school. They have to be introduced to each other. I have known her for several years now. She is a stay at home mom, all kids are grown-up and my co-worker just wants her to keep busy. I hope my daughter will take the adjustment ok, first of all, she is not pinay….you know what I mean. She is a very nice lady otherwise I will not accept the offer but you know how kids are sometimes. It takes a while before they accept changes. Let us see what happens on Monday.
I just read this gruesome news about Jennifer Hudson’s mom, Darnell Donerson and brother, Jason Hudson, murdered at their Chicago home. They were found shot dead at their house by a family member at around 3pm Friday. A 7 year old nephew of Jennifer is still missing. The report said that the child was possibly abducted by a man whom they considered a suspect in the double homicide.
I am so happy that it’s Friday once again. Last night I was so beat that I did not finish dropping my EC’s. I will make up this weekend. After work, I went to my boss late wife’s service at one of the nursing homes here. It was nice seeing him. Some people he does not remember their names anymore so you have to introduce yourself. I have seen some ex-employees of the company paying respect to our boss. What made me more tired was sitting in traffic for half an hour on my way home. I thought I took a better route taking the parkway but it was bad because of an accident. Along the way, I called my husband if he wants we can just buy dinner but he said he started cooking already (he knows how to cook in times of need) – thanks! After dinner, he told me to take and put Isabella to bed early. Yah right, a nap of up to 11pm! I woke up with my back aching, my husband massage some icy hot and it felt better. I headed to my computer to start my ec dropping but my eyes just want to close. The mind was willing but the flesh was weak.
Seven more days and it's Halloween. Happy Friday!

We started to turn on the heat since yesterday. It’s not full blast, I put it on 68-69 degrees. I bundled up Isabella a bit this morning. It was 48 but because of the wind chill it feels like 42. At least, the sun is up which will make it warmer later. I hope it won't be cold on Halloween night so that everybody can enjoy trick or treating.
On my way to work this morning, I was listening to Cubby at 103.5 KTU. He read a love letter on air that was forwarded to him as an email and I want to share it (free to share per website). As soon as I got to work I grab it from ktu.com. Here it goes:
I will see
k and find you.
I shall take you to bed and have my way with you .
I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan.
I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop.
I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished with you.
And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days.
All my love,
The Flu
Now, get your mind out of the gutter and go get your flu shot!
Funny because we are having our scheduled flu shot at work today at 8:00 a.m. As I am writing this, I already got stabbed on my right arm.

It's not friday anymore so i'd say thank god it's saturday. Good morning to all or good evening to my friends at the other side of the globe. It's only Saturday a.m. here, I'm at work for few hours to make up for my lazy days. My folks are still sleeping and I will be home for brunchtime. Saturdays at my job is light work, just for some OT.
Last night we had a nice dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant called Bhin Dhong. This has been our favorite place for the past weeks. I always forget to take picture although I had my camera with me. It was my barkada's b-day - one of my daughter's godmothers. Called her and they are in Vegas for her birthday weekend. Miss!. If I still live in CA, I'm sure i am there celebrating too.
Today is probably a costco and food shopping day. I have to check my list before we go. My daughter enjoys costco a lot on Saturdays becuase of all the food tastes. Me too!
So that's it for now. See you again later when I drop my EC's. Take Care and Enjoy what is left of your weekend.
One of the favorite events of the year which is Halloween is almost here. My daughter is already excited when we started decorating out doorstep with Halloween decorations and lighted pumpkin heads. We always start our Halloween celebration by going apple picking then from there we buy stuffs for our decorations.
This year will be a little different for my daughter. First of all, she has started with school so she is going to attend the school’s Halloween parade on October 31st. I already got the letter from the school yesterday stating the guidelines about their masquerade party after the parade. She is ready with her costume but I am still keeping it from here because I know that she would like to wear it every day.

Are you still looking or shopping for Halloween costumes? It’s not too late to get one. Halloweenadventure.com has all the masquerade costumes that you need from adult, sexy, plus size, teen, children’s and even pets costumes. I am one of their satisfied customers and I am happy to recommend Halloween adventure, the masters of masquerade, for you.
I did not realize that my car was due for inspection. Actually, it was overdue. The sticker on the windshield says sept 08. That freaking sticker is right in front of my eyes everyday that I drive the car but never get a chance to take a look at it until last night after I got home from work. OH MY GOLLY WOW! The sticker is expired!!! So, first thing this morning, went to Motor Vehicles for inspection. They open at 7am. It was a breeze. Nobody is still there. My car passed the inspection. Thank God the check engine light did not turn on. So now, I am not due for another one until sept 2010.
For the past years, I have been a supporter of my co-workers’ kids, nieces and nephews fund raising. It’s my turn starting this year to do one for my daughter. I just found in her book bag a fund raising packet from her school. I am so thankful that a lot of people here are very supportive on kids school’s fund raising. You do not have to beg or ask from them. We just leave the order forms on the shelf and they place their orders themselves. Thank you Guys.
Two movie lovers, Suresh Joachim of Toronto, Canada and Claudia Wavra of Petersburg Germany, were proclaimed winners in the recently concluded Netflix Popcorn Bowl event held in a plexi-glass house in Times Square New York. The duo watched movies continuously for 123 hours and 10 minutes that began on October 2 ending on October 7 at 3:10 p.m. The movie marathon started with 8 participants and only 2 remaining by 72nd hour. This is now the new Guinness World Record for most consecutive hours spent in watching movies. The rules of the contest were, each movie will be watched until the last credit is shown, there will be judges to monitor them and doctors are present to check them if they can still endure the long hours of watching movies. Shown with the winners is Susan Sarandon who showed support by paying them a visit. Here are the 57 films they watched during the Netflix Popcorn Bowl:credits: prnewswire.com/myfoxny.com

Since papa is off today, it’s his turn to bring and pick up our daughter from school today (first time). I had everything ready last night; her clothes, shoes, snacks and book bag. It was a success but they were late for a few minutes this morning. They just called me after dismissal time and now they are off to Panera bread for some bagel. I’ll see them in two hours.
We have been blessed with beautiful weather since Friday. It was gorgeous over the weekend reaching of up to almost 80 degrees. This is bit surprising in a month of October. Today up to Wednesday would be the same with a chance of showers on Thursday. I am wearing my Bermuda shorts at work right now (yes, we are allowed) but I always bring a hoodie with me. I freeze because of the AC. I am out of here by 2pm to enjoy the sunshine.
Happy Monday All.
car and another one at work. It moisturized and nourished my skin that I can recommend it to any pregnant women out there. I have tried several lotions bought from drugstores but Mustela was the most effective one. Another product that I highly recommend is Mustela’s nursing comfort balm. It came as very helpful to me after I had my baby and when I started breast feeding. Oh boy, I can still remember how my breast hurts, even how much I pump the milk out, it was unbearable sometimes. Mustela can quickly soothe the irritation and the tightness of my skin. I would also like to make mention of Mustelausa.com parent’s corner where I get all my tips and advices in taking care of myself and the baby. Reading other mom’s testimonials also makes me feel that I am not alone in this situation, that it’s just another chapter in your life which is motherhood.

It was tennis Friday yesterday. We start playing around 5pm after I arrive from work. It was a perfect day to play, not hot, no wind and a bit cold (like a light sweater day). The tennis court is right in our town, a minute drive from our house. Before, when me and my husband play, our daughter will go to the park (right next to the court) to play swing and slide but now not anymore. She wants to play tennis too. So, I and she play doubles on one side while papa is by himself. If she does not get the ball, you hear her screammiinggg, “its issa’s turn!!!”
There are a lot of people that are using dating sites these days to find their perfect partner or companion. In fact, a friend of mine who used to work with me at the bank is one of them. He is a very shy person but a totally nice guy. He kept it a secret from us. Everybody got surprised when we received a wedding invitation from him. We all thought he will stay single forever but he found the love of his life through true.com. The wedding was a riot because everybody made fun of him which made him so special to us.

I already have a post last night similar to this. This time I can log on then go to the dashboard but once i click drops inbox, it hangs or very very slow or your you get a page load error/network timeout or it says entrecard application server failed. I've been trying it again and again for an hour now but nada! I'm in the mood for dropping ec's today but i don't think I may have enough time. It's almost bedtime here. I think I have a valid excuse for the night.

Spreading it's wing to the following:I did not bring any lunch today and all I have in mind the whole morning was shrimp roll. I have not had it in a long time. My craving influenced some co-workers too but they want spring roll. I offered myself to pick it up from the Chinese place. It was good with some duck sauce on it. I had two!! Call it greedy but it was good. Hit the spot!
The owners of the company I work with are a father and son team. The President(still) is the father who is 87 years old, now in a nursing home. He is the founder this business with two other friends. The VP is the Pres. Son who has been acting as the president since his father became inactive with the business due to old age.
This morning, our office manager got a call from the salon where the president wife regularly goes every week. She informed her the Mrs. E did not come today and she is worried. My co-worker called our President’s niece to check her house (she does not want to live with her husband at the nursing home so she is home alone but she has that emergency thing on her wrist-just in case, you know). The niece found her car at the garage and right away they suspected something. Called the cops and they found her dead on her bed. She probably died in her sleep. The niece told us that the last time she spoke to her was Saturday night but she failed to visit her Sunday. Now, the family’s problem is how to break the sad news to her widowed 87 year old husband at the nursing home. The whole family will get together tomorrow and tell him. Hope he takes it ok. We are praying. So sad.
Thanks so much to Nedekcir for passing this friendship tag. It has been awhile since I got tagged. Thanks for the friendship too.
Next month we have two office workers who are retiring. The company is throwing out a big party for them at one of the big hotels here. One of them has been with the company for 40 years and the other for 25 years. For sure we will be missing them but both of them have been assuring everybody that the friendship will continue beyond the company territory and they will always keep in touch.
Other than the party we are having, the company is surprising them both with a family trip to Europe and also my boss wants to give them as personal gifts the all time favorite Omega men’s watches. He assigned me to do the research on these watches with regards to the prices, the latest models and availability. I have found all of them available from the big selection of Omega watches at thewatchery.com. We have chosen to get the Omega Seamaster Men’s Diver’s Watch with stainless steel black dial for Bob and the Omega deVille Men’s watch with 18K Rose Gold white dial on Brown leather strap for Steve. We selected these watches that would match the two guy’s individual lifestyles. Check them out here:

It's only around 1pm but I am already home. My allergies are bothering me again.....watery eyes and sneezing. It kept quiet during summer but now I guess the allergy season is here again.
Today is kinda cold here.We only have highs of up to the middle 60's (not even).It's windy too, making the temperature colder. I like this kind of cold, no need to turn the heat yet but enough to make you curl up under the comforter.
I will try to take a nap. I already took my allegra-d, hoping that it would take effect sooner. TGIF!





Since my daughter started schooling, my friend’s mom has been so helpful to me. They live a block away from the school and Naynay (my daughter cannot say Nanay) would sometimes keep my daughter until her dad picks her up. She is here for few weeks and she is leaving for the Philippines by the end of the month. As a token of appreciation for all her kindness, I told her I want to change her prescription glasses. At first, she declined because it might be expensive but when I showed her how much a prescription glasses cost at zennioptical.com, she agreed.
I have set-up my adsense payment (as if a lot!) to go to my bank account directly. The other option is to mail the check to your house. So to have your back account verified, google will send you a test payment, once you receive it enter the exact amount on adsense website. This is to verify that you are the owner of the account. It will show right away that your bank account is verified and the hold payment is lifted. Just an FYI, have a nice Wednesday everyone.
