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.

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.

Another “ber” month is coming to an end. Time indeed fly so fast. Before I realize it we will be celebrating Christmas again, which is my favorite time of the year other than birthdays. Speaking of which, I think it’s time to plan for Christmas gifts 2011. I already made my Christmas list that comprise mainly of my family and few close friends and relatives.

My duty now is to find the best gift that suits each person. I still have two months to do that. But, like I said time flies fast so I don’t have to waste it to find the perfect gift. I don’t want to give anything for the sake of giving; I want to give something that creates value for the receiver. It’s much more important to collect great smiles and love as a return especially from my family.

Recently, I’m trying to learn new technologies because I don’t want to be left out like other oldies out there. Actually, it’s my children that motivate me to do so. They don’t want me to get stuck up as unknowledgeable about simply technology like social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. I’m glad I tried it because I enjoyed connecting to lots of people. I was able to get in touch with my friends and relatives. It was the place I get to learn that my niece is taking up a cosmetology course in preparation to work abroad. Without it, I will never know about it.

Whenever I speak of cosmetology I constantly remember the cosmetology school of Regency Beauty Institute. Regency is the fastest growing beauty school in the country, which already has 80 (and counting) campuses across 19 US states. They bring unique approach to cosmetology education by emulating upscale salons and providing an exceptional education that benefits the students, the salon community, and the public. As part of their training, students provide high-quality, discounted salon services to the public under expert faculty supervision. Currently, Regency graduates are recognized and sought after throughout the United States.

A few months ago, certain part of the US experienced a bad case of storm. Well, it’s really a bad case and lots of family were affected. A lot lost their houses, but only few lost a life that’s thanks to the underground storm shelters and evacuation of the government. Lives were saved because of the preparedness of everybody.

That is the reason, I’m thinking of putting one in our house. Actually, we don’t experience storm in our area. But, it would be better to be prepared, right? At least having an escape plan in case of calamities can give better chances of survival unlike not having one. It’s not just for me, but for the rest of my family as well. It’s their safety that I’m after.

One of my grandnieces is now ready to explore the world of school. Her mom is now preparing her and is helping her learn things by decorating the house in a playful, but educating manner. She is really busy designing the room of her little kid. She isn’t like that to her two sons; I guess she is much excited over the girl.

Anyway, I also wanted to give a cute kids farm stool I found in the web. There are plenty of step stools available from bunnies, cows, to pigs. It would be a charming addition to any child’s room or bathroom. She can also pass the stool to her other kids because what I found is hand-carved and hand-painted the details. The handy storage under the top step allows this to double as a toy chest. Well, I’m pretty sure both she and my grandniece will love it.
