Jen's Birthday
April 29, 2008....Happy Birthday to my First Filipina Friend Jenalyn Wellen who lived at least 20 miles from me. I was happy yesterday that I was able to celebrate her 92 birthday today with another Filipina named Caryl who lived 40 miles away from me and 20 miles away from Jen. We had so much fun especially the delicious foods that Jen had cooked and Caryl's crunchier Rolls with sweet and sour sauce especially made by her and I brought some sweet chocolate cake baked by my husband Brad. Thanks to him that really made our day good. Anyway, I've lost several times yesterday in going to Jen's place and in going back home since that's my first time to drove over at her place and good thing I was able to find my way back it was really such a good driving experience even if I was a little bit nervous and scared especially with two little children sitting at the back good thing on our way home they both slept and in our way to Jen's place both of them are awake the youngest wants me to accommodate her but I can't since I am driving and the oldest sister was yelling at her to be quite because she's trying to sleep. What a fun experience? to hear those different voices. One thing I am thankful yesterday was that I came home safely together with my two GIRLS after I went through even if I lost so many times but I am still thankful and indeed I am very grateful for everything and especially with my two Filipina Friends. Until next time...Here's some pictures that I took during Jen's birthday!
The Forbidden Kingdom
Today, April 26, 2008, we went to Mt.Vernon, Kerasotes, watch movie starring Jackie Chan & Jet Lee. It was a good action Kung Fu movie. I like it very much and also my girls and most of all my husband we are fans of Jackie Chan & Jet Lee. There's not a lot of people were there we watched it the 4:10p.m. this movie was indeed good not even a single kissing scene but it's more violent and action it was fun and lively to watch eventhough I felt bad because I was being screwed $2 of our tickets since I bought it online at fandango they charge me $13 and I found out it's only $11 there at the movie theater. Watching movie is one of our favorite thing to do. After we watched we went to LOWE's buy some vertical blinds for our bedroom and bathroom then went to Staples and finally went to Wal-mart it was good time we bought some supper at wal-mart decided to eat inside the car we bought some crispy chicken, potato salad and orange jell-o. It was good enough to filled up and a little bit cheaper. So when we get home we don't have to worry about fixing our supper!
Anyway, all I can say destiny is on at our hand.
Gotta go see you next time.....Enjoy...

Wonderful & Lucky Night
April 24, 2008 56th Annual Wabash Telephone Cooperative, Inc. meeting. It was fun and lots of foods and drinks the good thing is FREE and a plus the entertainment and my oldest daughter won $10 Wal-mart GC for the children's raffle. But sorry to say we didn't win from the Adults raffle but for me being there and enjoying everything is already makes me a winner that is really one of the thing that I always look forward every year to attend the annual meeting because they always treats their customers with high appreciation and feeds us. Anyway, that's one of the things that my family loves to do and also my youngest daughter had her chickenpox immunization I was happy that she was okey and happy as it could be because I knew some kids won't feel good after when they got their shots but not my little girl I am proud of her because she is tough and strong enough to fight with it. She cried a little when the nurse pokes the needle on her right leg and I feel pity on her too makes me wanna do it and pass onto it to her I wish that's possible enough to do it but she has to do it and take it for her own benefit. She's lucky to be immunized while as young as she is because in my case I didn't had to go through with it since my family was so poor. So, indeed my children will still blessed!
We brought some take home Chicken, Beef burger and cold soda for our neighbors since they weren't there so we decided to bring home foods for them eventhough people might think we are such a pig I just can't help laughing about it. hahahahahahahahahaha.
Another thing is, I sent my N-400 application for my citizenship last April 11, 2008 it was Saturday I let my husband bring it to the post office since it has to be a certified mail due to my eagerness to sent it out I forgot to include the documents they needed I only put the papers that I filled-up and the fee and close the envelope so I was disappointed about it that I wish I did not rushed things. Well, I guess it turns out okey because I got a letter from them about the schedule for my fingerprinting this coming May 5, 2008, CINCO DE MAYO! Hooray! What a big relief????? that they did not rejected and sent back my application instead they accepted it and tells me that they will let me know what to bring during my interview hopefully it will be soon enough because I am really excited to get this things done. Sometimes makes me sick more paperworks, paperworks and I will be glad and my husband that we will be get over with INS paperworks...hahahahahahahaha...that's a good thought isn't it????
Anyway, gotta go to bed now it's late...I need to park right now...Until next time..More updates! Enjoy!

It's a Tale of Two Moms this Mother's Day--the second edition! This time, read Tricia's suggestions for Mother's Day gifts:
May is like a second Christmas for me because it's my birthday, Mother's Day, and almost my wedding anniversary. So you can be sure that I have been surfing for gift ideas! Here are some of my top suggestions this year based on past experience as well as new trends:
Mrs. Prindables -- If you haven't seen my video blog about Mrs. Prindables, you have no idea what you are missing. Caramel, chocolate, nuts...and a healthy green apple buried somewhere in there. Choose from a single special apple to a variety package. If you are lucky, mom might even share with you (but don't count on it!).
Sephora -- I'm a Sephora girl. A gift card is perfect for anyone, but if you know a little bit about what mom likes, you can get more specific. The Best of Sephora package is a great value ($96 worth of products for $65) and has a nice variety of items that are universal favorites at Sephora. You also can't go wrong with a set of Philosophy Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath. A sassy mom would appreciate the Cocktail Party set (Margarita, Mimosa, and Daiquiri). A more traditional mom might like the Just Because set (Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate).
1-800-FLORALS -- I'm a sucker for flowers. I know that not every mom is. But when they drive up with that big bouquet with my name on it, I can't help but get excited. I love that 1-800-FLORALS uses local companies to deliver my flowers. Every mom deserves flowers at least once on Mother's Day. Go traditional with roses or get creative with a bright spring assortment.
PajamaGram -- One of my favorite gifts ever came from PajamaGram. And it wasn't just the pajamas themselves (although they have been washing up nicely for over a year). It was how special the whole gift came packaged--a big reusable box, a door sign, and a scented sachet. With a wide selection of gown, shorts, and pants, you'll find something for every mom. And don't forget the robe!
Time -- Ah, the gift of time. No, I'm not talking about a Sunshine Rewards merchant. I'm talking about the seconds, minutes, hours on Mother's Day where you create a memory for years to come. Whether mom needs an afternoon with the family or a few hours to herself to curl up with a good book, don't forget that time is the most precious of gifts this Mother's Day.
Mrs. Prindables -- If you haven't seen my video blog about Mrs. Prindables, you have no idea what you are missing. Caramel, chocolate, nuts...and a healthy green apple buried somewhere in there. Choose from a single special apple to a variety package. If you are lucky, mom might even share with you (but don't count on it!).

It's been a while...
Hello To Everyone,
I've been very busy and lazy lately that is why it's been a while for me to post something here. Anyway, a little updates about us here in Cisne,IL. Last Friday April 17, 2008, we went to Evansville, Stake Center, for a Relief Society Activity. Anyway, I invited Jenalyn, her husband Darin and another Filipina Caryl to go with us. So, they did except Caryl she didnt go with us but hopefully next time. It was a good time since my two daughters sleep over to one of our church friend she always wanted so bad to baby sit them so that was it and finally but that was the first time also that my girls has been away from me and then overnight I really missed them that night and I kept saying to my husband I can't live without my children and You! I cried and want to be Saturday morning since we had to pick them the following day and when my oldest daughter saw me she said " Oh Momma, I miss you, I'm back, Where have you been? and she hugged me and I was happy about it and I give her a hug! " She is one of the sweetest thing that I've got and same also with my youngest daughter she cried and give me a kiss when she sees me and wanting something special that she missed it the whole night her milk supply. Anyway, for me, my children are everything to me and I hope they feel same way too. Until next time...
