After a long dramatic, tiring, tension-filled day, I am now going to TRY to go home.
Because I need to kahit walang taxi ni bus ni jeep.
Kasi the most powerful person in the country decides to set a curfew.
Paano uuwi ang mga tao di pa naman binubuksan ang roads.
Leche talaga.
I am distracted by the current events of the state, so instead of me posting about nice stories and updates of my life, I will just try to work. While the rally of some stupid, thoughtless politicians are four blocks away.
This is so bad.
I hope it doesn’t get anymore unruly.
Being an avid blogger and all-around computer junkie, I cannot afford to have my PC crash anytime at all. My blogging, my scrapbooking, and all my kids’ priceless photo albums - just the thought of all these being wiped out by some lethal virus makes my heart stop. The bad thing about all this is that no matter how careful I am about maintaining our PC’s security, I cannot avoid the occasional slips and accidents. That’s why I feel it’s really important to choose the best security software products that the market can offer. I read about NOD32 and it says that it offers a comprehensive approach to securing our PCs. And because my PC is one of the most valuable objects in my possession right now, I am very meticulous about security. You should too!
Dont you find it hard to find gifts for persons closest to your heart, like your parents or husband or wife? I do. Im so stumped on what to give to my Mom. I will be giving her an album of her kids and grandchildren but other than that Im still pretty stumped. Then I had a BRILLIANT idea! (Im sure everyone knows this!) How about I give her flowers! Flowers can be given at any special occasion even everyday. But you can give high quality flowers as well.
On a second thought, I’d want to send flowers to my godmother as well. She has helped me ever since and is really fit to be called a “GodMother.” She doesnt only send gifts during my birthday or the holidays, she sees to it that she keeps in touch with me, knows my plans and even supports me in what I do. She even let me go ahead and study a new course even if I had Matthew already. What do you give a person who you think have everything right? Just a token of appreciation. And flowers are the best sign for it.
It is a good thing I have come across an international flower delivery service called 2Flowers.com. They accept dollars and euors and all flower deliveries are done by premium florists and handcarried and not delivered by courier! They even have version of their web site in native languages. For English, go to the flowers usa site. For Spanish languages, go to the flores eeuu web site!
My question is: What’s your three ultimate material things you wish to have for your self?
So let me stress Amore’s question, it said material and ultimate. LOL
Hmm, aside from my ultimate dream of having my own big (but cozy) dream house (complete with furnishings!).
Here are mine:
All in the name of shaping up, Id like a complete set of fitness gear, one year membership to a gym, a personal trainer. Heck, my own gym and trainer na lang! LOL
I’d like to have din a very nice house, I said it na, with bedrooms for my immediate and extended family, places for entertaining guests. I want a house I can make a home, one which will allow my kids to prefer to stay home and invite friends over instead of them going out pa 
The whole afternoon was spent thinking about our impending migration to the US and how I can be a stay at home mom. I worry about Matthew and Martha’s education knowing how expensive matriculation could be. My mom said home schooling can be an option. True. Home schooling will enable us to spend time together while getting good quality education and moral foundations. Then we can focus more on what matters most, family.
Would it not be nice to have free Home school? She showed me an article online talking about K-12 Free Homeschool. Here’s how it can be tuition-free. They offer tuition-free courses to US based students with the help of sponsorship from companies and NGOs. They also support moral foundation based on Christian teaching. Having come from a very catholic and religious family, imparting my religious belief and faith to my kids is part of my top priorities. While reading through their website I wonder though if they will have good programs as such from regular private Christian schools and lo and behold, their course catalog includes a comprehensive program that includes not only the usual academic courses but also arts, music and other cognitive skill enhancing courses such as Crime Scene Investigation. All that for FREE! Can you imagine? I need to check out the K-12FreeHomeschool.org Course Catalog now!

One of the forms of medicine addiction does not involved prohibited drugs. It involved medicated or prescription medicine. This is a hard type of addiction to diagnose because for one, the person involved with the addiction may not even notice that he or she is getting addicted to already. The most common form of presription addiction is addiction to opiates. Opiates are medicines that are used to relive pain - they are narcotics. So you can understand why people can get addicted to it. They activate brain centers that can release ‘pleasure’ sensations. So patients will not feel any pain.
Thankfully, there is a detox program for addictions of that kind. This type of addiction needs a detoxification program, enabling to body to not depend on the drug. With the new Meditox method, patients can have the chance to undergo rehab and be an out-patient. This program lasts for six weeks. The suboxone detox is the one used to help patients addicted to opiates. They countereffect the opiate drug with the revolutionary new drug buprenorphine. Also called “bupe,” the drug is sold under the trade names Temgesic, Buprenex, Subutex, and of course, Suboxone. The suboxone detox treatment helps patient in a way that the drug fools the body and brain that the opiate drug is still in the body so the brain centers still release pleasure sensations. You can stop taking your opiate, and instead take the buprenorphine. Your body then starts to detoxify from opiates, but the buprenorphine fools the brain into thinking it’s there. As a result, you can detox without having painful withdrawal symptoms.That is the reason that it is allowed to be done at home!
I dream of having diamond stud earrings. I know this will be a wise investment as diamonds rarely decrease in value. Who doesn’t love diamonds? Almost all wedding rings have them, depending on style and carat. There are also diamond engagement rings that are sure to help make your fiancee say ‘Yes’ faster! If ever I get to have a change, I want to get customized jewelry from JamesAllen.com. It is secure and hacker safe web site which guarantees 100% real diamonds!
1. Did evaluations at work.
2. Got the Christmas pictures of the kids done - not 100% satisfied, but it will do.
3. Got Christmas cards done.
4. Got Shutterfly calendar done.
5. Got the 11×14 Shutterfly Collage done.
Now, I hope to scrap some more later.
Tomorrow, I will tackle the tree. *sigh* All the pictures of your trees are making me insecure hahaha!
You want to know who captures my fancy these days? It is Rihanna! I so love all the singles she has been putting out lately. Those songs, especially her latest song ‘Hate That I Love You’, is on my repeat playlist oftentimes at work. I really think this girl will go places, if she hasn’t been there already! If you are a Rihanna fan and is based in the UK, you will be elated to know that she will be having concert shows on most of the December dates in the following areas - RDS, Dublin, Odyssey, Belfast, MEN Arena Manchester, Manchester, Hallam FM Arena, Sheffield, The Brighton Centre, Brighton and many more. For complete listing of her shows, you can just go here for reference.
You can easily buy tickets for her shows at Viagogo. It is considered the leading ticket hub in the UK - with the guarantee all tickets sold are secure and authentic. They even send online tracking updates regarding your tickets. They do not only sell tickets for concerts. They also offer Formula 1 Tickets, so heads up racing fans! Sports fanatics can get tickets ranging from Golf Tickets to Tennis Tickets there as well. And if for some reason you cannot attend the concert, game or event, there is a section in their site that will allow you to sell your ticket as well!

Im addicted to web statistics. As a paid blogger (and someone who stalks people who stalk her), I want to know where all my hits are coming from.
You better have Google Analytics installed in your blogs - NOW. I know I have told most of you who are into paid blogging to get that code. But wait, there is more. Better actually. Try Get Clicky. You will see who viewed your site, how long, which entry she read, how many times she visited your blog! AMAZING! (So you know I’ll be watching ;))
And then, go ahead and use Simple Tags. You can view the plugins I love here. I personally love the Simple Tags because it tags your entries and makes them more searchable in Technorati! My blog has been searched and indexed using “body wave” and “curls” and “wife stories” (Well, come to think of it, this blog is more Mommy Stories than Wife Stories, LOL). This post has more than a few hundred views already.
Optimize your bloggety bloggies

Earthquakes give me the jitters. Especially since I have a son who is in school, a husband at work and a child at home.
I keep worrying if anyone of them is safe or what.
Our garage flooring really needs an overhaul - it is cracked and has stains on it. I would love for it to be done with new tiles since the garage can easily be converted to a party area when we have special occassions to celebrate. Plus, with kids at the compound, it will be better for them to just play in the garage. That way, it will be a lot safer for them. There is garage-grade epoxy material which can be used to make tiles on the garage floor easier to clean. I need to tell that to my mom.
