I have never been a couch potato. During my younger years, I just watched the television when I really had nothing to do. I did not spend so much time staring at it. I was always busy with a lot of stuff, that was why television viewing never took so much of my time.

But now, the television has been our constant companion here. We cannot live and we will go crazy without it. The moment the two kids wake up, I immediately turn the tv on. I know it is not a good thing to make the kids stare at the tv the whole day, but it’s one way of keeping our sanity intact and of keeping in touch with the outside world.

Tomorrow, I will be asking my husband to buy another tv stand so we can place a television inside our room.

My husband is in technical field. He mentions to me a lot of technical terms I’m not really familiar with. Sometimes, it gets me bored. But I’ve realized that I should take time to listen and get myself familiarized with all these things. When I have the time, I even get his manuals and take the time to read them so I can have some knowledge about what he is working at. Sometimes, this is also a good thing since we have added topics to talk about.

While I’m writing this article, he just sat by my side and so I asked him about this hydraulic press rebuild, and he just gave me a concrete example.

He is currently working in an aluminium smelter. And in their magazine, I’ve seen that their end product is aluminium billets which are very huge and cylindrical in shape. He told me that these billets are processed using hydraulic press rebuild to make some aluminium foils which we usually use in our kitchens. He also told me how it helps in making those steel buildings.

Great info, de!

My good friend way back in high school got promoted in the bank where she works for. This is indeed a very good news! She is now the bank manager! I am really so proud of her!

She told me that there are a lot of lucrative jobs in banking world. She told me that if ever I want to have a try, I would just have to tell her.

Hmmm, I do not think that I will ever trade my teaching profession to any other profession in this planet.

Are you in a job hunting mode right now? If you are, then go to this admin job search site. Here, you can find a lot of jobs that will match your credentials.

It is just so sad that there are so many college graduates who are not lucky when it comes to job hunting. It is either they are very choosy or luck is not just on their side. In these tough times, it is really essential for everyone to find their own bread and butter.

We will be sending the kids to school next year. We are not decided though whether to go back to the Philippines and let the kids study there, or just stay here and send them to the Philippine school here. We are quite hesitant to choose the latter since we are hearing a lot of negative feedbacks about the said school.

If ever we will be going back to our home country, we will be spending a lot since we have to look for a house and buy some furniture we will be needing.

I am preparing the kids for formal schooling. They are learning how a lot of things now. I hope I can install in them the love for learning.

Hubby was a reserved type of person. Most likely, he would not open things up unless I asked. But now, he is learning to share a lot of things even without prompt. I love how he relays to me all the things that are happening to him especially at work.

When he is driving, he puts the volume of the satellite radios at the lowest level so he can relay a lot of stories. Sometimes, he even sings a lot of funny songs for the kids which make them guffaw a lot.

During our vacation, I had the chance to see one of my high school buddies. She was pregnant then to her first baby. I told her to search for a site in the internet offering birth announcements services so she will not have a hard time telling all her relatives and friends that she has already given birth.

So last month, I was so excited when I was notified about her delivery of a healthy baby boy. For sure, my friend and her husband was so delighted to see their first bundle of joy!

Do you have an idea about the best acne treatment in the market?

My cousin has a very terrible acne problem. And I pity him because he already has this very low self-esteem. He is not confident anymore to mingle with other people because of his dilemma. Too afraid to be taunted, he just wants to stay at home all day long. Whenever we have a family gathering, he just goes out of his room to say hi to everyone and immediately goes back inside. And the worst is, he does not have the nerve to court the apple of his eyes.

There are a lot of products which offer promising solutions to acne problems, but I am quite hesitant to recommend any to my cousin since I have not tested them myself.

As early as now, hubby and I are thinking about our next vacation. We want it to be so memorable especially for the kids. We tried to inquire in Outer Banks rentals to check out what they have to offer. We were pleased to know that they have very affordable vacation packages.

When time and resources permit, I am very positive that we will can push through with our plans. This will be a very good chance for us to bond as a family.

People say I do not look my age. Hmmm, maybe because of my height and this young-looking face. When I was younger, particularly during my college days, I really hated it when people thought that I was still in high school. But now that I am a mother, I feel flattered when some people say that I look way younger than my age. *wink*

Even if I’ve got a lot of responsibilities around the house, I still take the time to take care of my skin. I use some eye creams twice a day. Since I am always sleep-deprived, I am afraid that some wrinkles will develop earlier than usual. I also drink a lot of water to keep my skin hydrated.

Some people have a lot of beauty regimen. I do not have them. I just do those things, and they work for me!
