great to update again

Another month has gone by. Time just flies so fast, and I lost track of it. I can’t even remember the last time I posted something here; it feels like ages since that time. A lot of things happen that take away most of my time. I’m way too exhausted sometimes that remembering to give this blog a visit is quite hopeless. Plus, my kids monopolize the computer and wouldn’t give me a chance to take a glimpse of what is happening in the blogging world. Just lucky I was able to snatch a little time today. So, I will make the most of it.

The first thing I did was for the best valentine’s gift I could give hubby. But, for some reason I find myself looking at polysorb spring washer. On some way I couldn’t get my head out of the things my house needs from the cleaning materials to the replacement parts. I guess that’s just the way things go. Anyway, I’m happy I will end my day being able to at least update this blog.

back to the real world again

Happy New Year! It’s been three days since the New Year commence, but I can’t still get over the parties that happened. The thought of it really makes me smile and celebrate again. Unfortunately, it’s time to go back to the real world although there is one more occasion that we will celebrate this month and that it the birthday of my third child.

I’m not sure what to give her a birthday gift; my ideas were all exhausted during the Christmas. If we just have winter, I will give her heated gloves. I came across this at Cozy winter site while surfing the web. This is the one of the perfect gear for the winter riding. Unfortunately, we don’t have winter in this country so I have to forget about it for now. But, it’s good to know this information at least I know where to go and what to buy in case I’ll go skiing in the future.

For now, I will continue my search for the best birthday present I could give my daughter. I don’t have much time so I’ll have to do it fast. Wishing myself some luck for this one.

got a little busy preparing for Christmas

Oh my! It’s been ages since the last time I posted something here. I got a little busy preparing for Christmas – the gift shopping, the final house decorations, the menu, the games and so much more. Well, it all comes to an end – this year’s Christmas is indeed over. And, now I’m preparing for the New Year, which means house general cleaning. Good thing my kids help me with it so the task is easily done. As for the menu, it’s already made and planned accordingly together with my Christmas planning.

However, I still can’t take a rest. My third child’s birthday is coming January 5th is the date. I thought it would be better to use birthday cupcakes instead of the big one. Sharies Berries offers wonderful selection of tempting birthday cupcakes you can have your cake and eat it from rich and indulgent chocolate cupcakes, light, sweet and creamy vanilla cupcakes, velvety and delicious red velvet cupcakes and more! Why I prefer cupcakes for her birthday because they’re cute, colorful, tasty, sweet, and perfectly sized to enjoy alone. Plus, there’s no hassle in cutting it.

Oh well, I guess that’s it for now. Have a pleasant and prosperous New Year everyone.

sharing the best job I find

Few months ago, one of the boarder’s sister arrived to take the board exam. It’s not her first time, but she is still trying to pass it. I’m sure she will with all the determination and hard work she’s putting into it. We aren’t that close, but I want to share my finds on the net regarding the list of medical jobs.

Actually, I was just looking for nursing jobs on the web for hubby’s sake. It’s unnecessary since he’s giving all his effort to find one, but I want to help. While doing so, I came across the Dental Hygienist Jobs, which reminds me of that girl. Luckily, I know her brother and it’s a great opportunity for her. I’m pretty sure it’s a bad thing to keep such good information in silent. So, I will share it to her; it will be up to her if she finds it useful. At least I share the information that could open great possibilities for her. Well, I just wish her good luck towards the result of the exam.

always dreaming about it

admin_bighuggable — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 08:00:33 +0000

A different kind of vacation hits my head after reading so many vacation destinations. I can’t help myself, but be interested in spending a day or two in a place different from what I used to have. A magical world like one of those of Disney World hotels vacation perhaps is perfect. By the way, I haven’t been to any Disney world. That is so unfortunate and unlucky of me. Good thing, I can always dream about it, right? Let’s just hope I won’t reach the age when it feels like too awkward going there.

trimming the Christmas tree

admin_bighuggable — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 14:39:32 +0000

Although it’s still the month of November, I feel that it’s Christmas time already. Thankfully, I’m done with the general cleaning last Sunday, so I already bring out the Christmas tree. My third child helps me assemble it since she too loves this season. But, we realize our ornaments can use a lot of update. They are old enough to be tossed and changed. For that matter the tree is still empty in terms of decorations.

I end up sitting in front of the computer looking at the different Christmas ornaments of Personal Creations. I love the colors of their decorations and wondered who might be behind it. Then, I find myself at personal creations linkedin page. At least now I know who are behind their brilliant product ideas. But, I’m more interested in buying the ornaments to liven my Christmas tree. The only difference now, I can decorate my tree with personalized Christmas ornaments that are customized with engraving, clay handprints, photographs, family characters drawings & more. I feel this would be very fun.

done doing general cleaning

admin_bighuggable — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 12:37:16 +0000

At last, I’m done doing general cleaning of the house. I decided to do it early so I can start putting the Christmas decorations. My third child is really excited and she continually bugs me to assemble the tree. But, it’s a good thing I do it because I was able to toss away the worthless stuff. One of the things I wanted to throw is the plastic drawers because it’s already dilapidated and broken.

My aim now is to buy the 6 drawer log chest. For sure this rustic furniture is really sturdy and will last for a long time. It is made from hand draw knifed White Pine. The top drawers have an aromatic red cedar lining for the bottom of the drawers and all the drawers in the 6 drawer chest have solid aspen boxes with dovetail construction and side mounted, epoxy coated, 3/4 extension roller slides rated for 100 lbs. It really looks attractive and fits perfectly well in our room. I hope to purchase it before the end of the year.

news that makes me happy

admin_bighuggable — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 12:34:20 +0000

I’ve heard my son-in-law will soon start working as a nurse. The news really makes me happy even though he is still processing his license. His future is much brighter with that as well as my daughter. That being said, I should help him find new nursing scrubs. He tossed away all his older scrubs and left the newer one here. Shipping the ones he left is very inconvenient, costly and time-consuming. Buying newer ones and shipping directly to him is the best choice.

Since he is new to the place, I’m confident he is concerned where to buy those scrubs. It’s difficult to search a huge place like UAE so it’s much better to do online shopping. Plus, they are somewhat busy so help is much appreciated. Good thing I have spare time in my hands. However, before I can proceed, I still need to know his size. I’m just worried when I will be able to spot my daughter to ask for that information.

Trick or treat! Happy Halloween everyone!

admin_bighuggable — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:40:36 +0000

Trick or treat! Happy Halloween everyone! Have you gone to the cemetery to pay respect to those who already left this world? Well, my husband and I already do that. I’m also done preparing meals for our little get together. Now, there’s nothing more to do except getting some rest, eat and probably visit some online friend or surf the web.

However, after some deep thought, I realize it would be better to surf the web besides it is still early to retire for the day. I’m also still full so eating another meal would be a sin and my online friends are probably out to celebrate the day. This is the perfect time to learn the meaning of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy; what it is, what it does and many more. All I know about it is that it helps balance human hormones properly to optimize a person’s well-being. So, it will really benefit me to gather more information about it; who knows it’s the answer I’m looking to healthy body.

help save nature

admin_bighuggable — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:34:45 +0000

Last year, the city government ordered to do waste segregation. This has to be done in order to help save nature and fight global warming. But, it seems like only few follow the order. I can still see a combination of waste in the waste bin. Even so, I still continue doing the segregation because I know in my own little way I’m helping.

Currently, I’m throwing my biodegradable in the right waste bin. But, I’m planning to purchase a compost bin. I thought my garden can benefit a lot from the compost I can make from those waste. I’m not too serious with my plants before, but when the flowers started to bloom I feel like giving them extra attention and care. Giving fertilizer is the way to nourish the plants, but it’s much better to use the organic fertilizer, which is through making the fertilizer by myself.
