Time Management

They're bestfriends and partners in making a mess:-)

Why time flies so fast?I don't like it anymore:-(. Today is Holy Friday so I'm just taking things slow. I didn't watch ABS CBN. Instead I', staying with my kids all the time, then I noticed that if I don't leave them alone by themselves for a long time, they make lesser mess because I 'm able to stop whatever mess they started and have them pick them right away. When I'm so occupied in watching my ABS CBN shows, I didn't realized I leave them by themselves for over an hour already. Boy, I can't describe how much mess they made, enough to give me stress for the whole day. Now I change my routine, and I'm happy. It's only 10AM, no mess at all. The kitchen is clean, no cherrios in the living room. Right now, they're playing in their bedroom, so I just let them play there for 30 minutes and I'll check on them.

Goodies from Abroad

Me and happy family are so happy because we received the package that my sister sent us. She's in California right now with her loving family.She has gifts for all of us. She gave me t-shirts from Old Navy, shoes and vitamins. She gave us jewelries, canned foods, candies, lotions, perfumes and many more. I love the perfumes that she sent us. Most of them are from the Victoria Secret. Even though I can't used them but I'm still glad because I can give it my girlfriend. My sister promised to give me a perfume from Hugo Boss. I love the scent of it. It's not that strong.I will also ask a perfume from Calvin Klein the next time she will send us a package. I will visit Scent.net, to look around for perfumes that she might wanna buy for me:-)

It's Been Awhile

It's been a long time since I updated my blog. I'm just so busy at work that I don't have much time to spend online. I'm glad that I'm back now. I hope I can keep up. I'm really sorry for not having visited my fellow blogger. I will do my best to visit you guys.

Card Shopping

As of now I have 3 major credit cards and more than 5 store credit cards. I just realized that I made a major mistake for grasping on every credit card offers I got from the mail. But now that I realized my mistake I will correct it before it will make a major damage in my credit score. My score was down with 20 points that's why from now on I will pay off my store cards. I will make a credit card comparison to find out the best credit that will suit my needs. There are helpful sites that will guide us finding the best card. For example, the dealsforcreditcards.com. They provide comparisons for all the best credit cards. It's either you want a card that has no annual fee or something that offers generous rewards, they got it all.

Square Off

I sleep past midnight because I watched the replay of the CVC Law Debate. It's the semi-finals and its between the Arellano- Ateneo ( Manila :-) . The topic is about the Scrapping of the Pork Barrel Fund. Arellano on the affirmative side won by 1 point. For my own opinion the Pork Barrel Fund should be eliminated because most politicians just used it for their personal interests. Next will be a battle between Ateneo de Davao and I don't know who's the opponent.. I was too sleepy already when they announced it.

Energy Saving Tips

Sometimes when we shop around for appliances, we're confused which one to choose. We have to put in mind if this product has a good quality. Considering the current economy which the cost of energy is soaring up, it's smart idea to buy appliances such as clothes washer, refrigerator, dryer and other major appliances with a ENERGY STAR label on them. If they have that logo, it's guaranteed that the appliance has met the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy standards to save energy.

• ENERGY STAR clothes washers reduce energy and water use by 40% over conventional washers.
• ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers save 40% on energy cost and use much less water, saving on water heating costs.
• ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators use about 40% less energy than conventional units sold in 2001 and even more when compared with older models.

Journey

So Finally I bought a copy of Journeys new album in Walmart. It's only $11+, pretty good buy because it includes 2 CDs and 1 DVD of their live performance. During my son's first birthday I played it our front room, and the Filipinos who watched was so happy witnessing another Filipinos becoming famous in America. I'm talking about Arnel Pineda whose the new Lead Singer of the Journey Band.

Anyways, here's one of my favorite songs from the Journey:

FAITHFULLY

Highway run

Into the midnight sun

Wheels go round and round

You're on my mind

Restless hearts

Sleep alone tonight

Sendin all my love

Along the wire

They say that the road

Aint no place to start a family

Right down the line

Its been you and me

And lovin a music man

Aint always what its supposed to be

Oh girl you stand by me

Im forever yours...faithfully

Circus life

Under the big top world

We all need the clowns

To make us smile

Through space and time

Always another show

Wondering where I am

Lost without you

And being apart aint easy

On this love affair

Two strangers learn to fall in love again

I get the joyOf rediscovering you

Oh girl, you stand by me

Im forever yours...faithfully

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Faithfully,

Im still yours

Im forever yours

Ever yours...faithfully

And the
