I’ve got all the tags in drafts. But Im going to be scarce this weekend as Im heading off to Manila.
If you follow me on Twitter, you’d know this
Chowking, here I come 
(Me Razon’s pala sa Banawe, dun na lang!)
A cousin has been obsessed with everything about the medieval era. He even got a suit of armor to be able to add something to his everygrowing collection. It sounds really weird but believe or not, people are even offering to buy his collection and it is very very expensive!
For years, I have relied on my payroll savings account to keep everything that I “save”. Five years worth of salaries, bonuses and even PayPal money went directly there. Now that I am no longer working, I’m thinking about giving it up, converting it into a personal savings account or just closing it and open a new one. The only thing that is keeping me from getting a new one is the online banking feature I have from my current bank. I really rely online to get my bills paid on time - since I really hate lining up at the bank. However, I also want a passbook to keep track of everything, which my bank doesnt support. Savings Accounts at WaMu are flexible and Im keen on opening a new one for myself. For example, they have online banking savings account and a statement savings account, which I can all apply online. Their online banking feature has a safety guarantee feature. I can save and download up to 13 months of my transaction history and even 7 years worth of statements!!! Their online bill payment service comes free as well. I want to be able to manage our finances and still be able to save. I think I would be inquiring about WaMu services in our area soon.
Hay.
We have barely completed our house move and our furnitures get destroyed one by one. First, it was Martha swiping the TV. Now, it is Matthew jumping over our coffeetable - with glass.
I actually didnt see it because Martha and I were in the room, trying to get to her to sleep. I hear a loud bang and thought the maids broke plates or something.
I got out to see the coffeetable glass broken. (Naku parang umakyat lahat ng dugo sa ulo ko!!).
Matthew was sitting on the sofa, and he was really scared - of me making talak. He didnt see he was bleeding.
I was so angry to even react. When he saw he was bleeding quite profusely na, he started to cry. I was so mad, I told him, “Bahala ka sa buhay mo, mamamatay ka na naman” (I blogged about an incident before).
Proof that my son cant be a doctor. He wailed, “Mommy ayaw kong mamatay” He was saying this the whole time I was washing his wound.
So I was still making dakdak, saying, “Hindi ka si Superman anong akala mo, dak dak dak dak dak dak” LOL
I panicked when the bleeding wont stop so I called my Dad. Dad to the rescue, problem solved (I thought he’d need stitches).
Now, no computer for a week, no games for a week. And he needs to nap in the afternoons for a week to recover all the lost blood *wink wink* (Im a sucker for exaggerating stuff to him.LOL)
So here is the coffetable ruined,
A family friend, upon hearing the news, laughed. “Ano ba yan Aggie, isa isang sinisira gamit nyo, baka kelangan daw bago!”
The destroyers.
Ill be naming my kids like that from this day forward (parang kami yan ng bata.) LOL
I decided to do a Martha post since she turned two this month
When you make her tell her her age, she says two but puts up her hand like this:
|
1. I think I havent blogged about this yet - but I twitted it - Martha has been chot-chot free since May 1 (I threw it on my first day staying at home). I decided it was make or break, and I knew I was the only one who had the strength to say no to her (Her Dad kept on telling me that I wouldnt make it). But fortunately, we did. I did a meanie - I put chili sauce on her chot chot :). She cried, but afterwards wouldnt even touch it or go near it. She tried to tell me to “wash” it, because she saw it was “dirty” but Id just wash it kunwari and then give it back to her.
Oh, the torture. We had trouble with lulling her to sleep for a week, naptime, bedtime, everything was ruined. She cant find an alternative way to calm her so she kept crying, was cranky, all the things you can think of.
But we survived.
RIP Chot Chot.
2. Panties.
We have been wearing panties for almost all day since May too The first week I stayed home, I told her to tell me when she wants to make wiwi, and we were successful at the first try! (We have a small toilet bowl so I think she wasnt threatened). We were doing pretty good for the past two weeks but slacked the past couple of days (I got really busy and tamad).
She doesnt want to wear those white panties too. She wants those that are “pretty.”
3. I have already mentioned that her creative imagination is flying. She now plays with Elmo constantly. He even NEEDS to come with us everytime we go out. We left him at the Shrine when we went there two days ago and she bawled her eyes out. Needless to say, I had a hard time making her do the things that I want her to do (like lay down while I put her pampers on!!!!).
For the first time in - what - three months (LOL), I managed to update my blogS with real entries
I actually have a challenge to myself and that is to blog everyday, starting today
Aggie Shoots. Aggie Aggie Scraps - layout share
Winding Creek Circle - life in the ‘burbs (Im going to do a day to day entry starting tomorrow there - Id like to get an album done for us for a month).
Stop and read all about it

Here is mine. Id like to state FIRST na I feel so betrayed with the pictures - ako pa man din ang nag-aalaga at kumakalinga sa kanila. Bwahahaha
Here is Edil:
And then here is Mato at four months:
Uunahan ko na kayo - Matthew got everything from his Dad except his eyes (those are mine). Balibaliktarin nyo man ang mundo, akin yang mga matang yan.
Martha got her eyes from her Dad, most of what is left is kinda mine
Martha at 6 weeks:
To prove my point, look at her when she was a newborn (Im so thankful I was able to salvage pictures from Photobucket!!!)
Where is my baby picture? Ive got a ton posted here. Go look then you decide Of course, Im heavier now so you might not be able to see any resemblance (I need Orovo detox)!
Tagging everyone who wants to join
Thanks Issa!
This is me-today.
1. Woke up too early. Slept too late.
2. Something has been bothering me as of late, but I cant really decide if it’s my guts speaking.
3. Looking forward to tonight.
4. Eagerly waiting for Paypal money to come in. We need groceries.
5. Looking forward to around 4 hours of me time as the princess just slept at 5AM. Gaaaah.
6. Badly needs a haircut and a boost of hair color - my white hairs are standing out.
Tell me how are you today!
Im bound to the fact that my daughter is not really dainty and lady-like Everytime I let her wear girly dresses with frills and what-have-yous, I just need to stop often and stare and wonder where the heck my daughter is. LOL. She is really what she is everytime she is wearing shorts and pants - so we get those with style.
Im so lucky Martha’s godparents are as involved as they are (Im not even talking about gifts here). These are from Glo
Cant wait to get my grubby hands on these (At least I dont need to get them to the steam cleaners when they get dirty!)
I have been blogging since 2003. I actually started with the journal communities - Blurty and LiveJournal, primarily because I was not really ready yet to have my “life” out in the public. Needless to say, all my posts there are very personal. I am not saying my blogs now aren’t, but I have learned that sometimes there are better things left unwritten - I was also a bit negative then so I probably wouldnt want to affect people the wrong way.
Now, with blogging, I learned that whatever we write is bound to affect and touch people in some way. There are blogs I read everyday to inspire me, make me laugh, educate me and there are blogs who I want to read everyday because they let me peek into their lives and I feel my life is quite “normal” especially when I am having a bad day.
I met so many friends online who became real ones And that is how joining communities is an advantage. With all the journal/blog platforms, you have options. Create Blog with Thoughts.com. It is a platform that is FREE (which beginner bloggers can use) that you can put on public or private (or choose a few friends to have access to it). What makes it different from other platforms is that there are community forums and you gain the ability to bookmark news from within the community. You can upload photos, videos, podcasts, even chat with friends at the forums - all with unlimited bandwidth free! I looked and browsed their site and there are chances for you to read about stuff you like - because their is cloud category in the homepage with all the keywords of posts. Click on the words and you can see related tagged posts! Easy!
Remember Cast Away the movie? Well, Martha has her very own Wilson.
Meet Ball Ball.
She (because it’s pink) is Martha’s companion. She gets make dodo, watch Elmo with her, eat, watch Dyesebel and sleeps with a blankie. She even gets to smile for pictures.
Whenever Martha will be a pain in the a**, I go first to Ball Ball and tell her, “Ball Ball, look Ate Martha is a good girl, we will put pampers first. OK? Look.” Then Martha stops running and lies down on bed, telling “Look!” - show-off.
Of course, there are days when Martha tells Ball to “stand in the corner” - meaning, she doesnt want to play with her yet. She goes to Kuya’s room to sulk (I think she enjoys the silence because like her Mommy, her Ate Martha always tells something to her complete with fingerpointing). Now if we owned home theater chairs, Im pretty sure Ball Ball will have a spot too.
(Slowly trying to go back to blogging. Let’s do it with pictures - Im sure you missed my kids. I have been helping a family friend with her market research lately.)

During olden times, ancient Greeks and Romans have used gold already to buy things. It was used as a measure for wealth and power. This has been in effect up until today. Investing on gold has always been a wise investment idea. You can get them in coin or ingot form.Ingots are generally gold ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. Coins have a currency value or they are actually defined as ingots. You can get them through Monex Deposit Company (MDC). You can purchase gold or other precious metals for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America’s gold and precious metals investment leader.
