A Lawsuit?

One of the toughest situation a mother can be in, is being sick. We always hear that a mother has no vacation nor sick leave and so what happen when fate choose to put her in a situation that she needs medical care. That's tough, right? Oh yes, it is. Take it from me. Before I had Anevay I already have LUPUS. When I have her, I was lucky that I put into remission. Yeah, the disease was asleep for a while. Yet, I know it would strick back. Because LUPUS can only be controlled but not cured. And so I was right. I got sick this year, put into oral chemotherapy. And worst, I also met an accident that put me in bed for three months now. Such a tough situation. I am just blessed that financially we have enough to make things convenient for me and my loved ones. But I am thinking what happen to those who got sick unknowingly. For example those victim of Crestor. They really need to be compensated, that's why it's only their right to file an Crestor lawsuit with the help of the lawyers. For those of you who are thinking if you are one of this individual try reading their FAQ in their website for a complete information about crestor.

Home Generators

We have a big goal for next year. We don't know if it is achievable but we hope we can achieved it, if not next year, maybe the next one. We are looking forward to putting up a grocery store in our home in the province. First we would renovate our house into a building that has three floors. first floor would be a grocery, second would be for residential and third will house the home generators that according to the husband he would purchase to make sure that our products won't rot during rainy days.

In our province, it's already given that when the rainy season starts our house will be submerged with flood water. Most of the time food, electricity and other supplies would be cut off. That's the reason why the husband is bent on buying a generator and a backup generator as well.

Now, we are looking into wincogenerator.com for their different kinds of generators like whole house generator. And see which will best suite our needs. And then we will keep on putting our fingers crossed that we can achieved this big dream of ours in the soonest possible time so that our family will always be complete. The husband won't need to go outside the country to work.

Their Gift : Gadgets Galore

Today we have been computing our holiday expenses. It has shoot to the rooftop but we are happy because our loved ones are happy. Never mind that we still have to take care of our insurances. haha. Just kidding. I am just thankful that we were able to find a cheap health insurance to replace our current one which is a bit expensive. Anyway, the kids are in heaven. Why? Because of the gifts they received from us. I admit both the husband and I are spoilers when it comes to them. Well, I only have one nephew and three nieces so we can afford to splurge for them. The husband bought a PSP GO for Luis, a DS LITE for Buma and the PSP of Anevay will go to Aish. I am still looking for a gift for Keisha. I am having a hard time looking for one because she is just one year old and almost all toys of Anevay will go to her.Ever since the husband arrives our house has been quite the whole day. And that's because all of the kids are so busy tinkering with their new toys. haha.

Daddy's Gift : Most Expensive

Before Christmas the husband and I were talking about what to give the little girl. We observed that she have outgrown the LeapFrog products already. She have a LEAPSTER but she has not been playing with it. Rather she would just want to used the desktop, my phone, and her PSP. But the problem is except for my phone all of these gadgets are not touch screen. And her PSP, which Daddy bought for her last July will be given to her older cousin. A deal I made with her that if she has a medal from KUMON I'll give her the psp. So, that left us thinking what to give our daughter. Daddy said he prefer giving her the IPAD. I said no because it's too pricey. I was telling him we might need some cash advance in the end once we bought it. And I was thinking that she can still used the LENOVO netbook which we bought last July since it's also touch screen. But Daddy has a different plan. Before his flight he called me up and told me he already bought the IPAD. Oh yeah! Along with two more gadgets for my niece and nephew. I can't complain since he already bought them. haha.

Now, the IPAD is already here. And one screen is filled with lots of icons for kids games. And yes, Anevay is having fun playing with it. I am also glad that the games that I was able to download are educational. And I was also able to get Ms. Spidey, telling bedtime stories.

Here they are just before bed - Daddy + Anevay and Ms. Spidey telling a story.

Funny conversation

Anevay has been learning a lot of Filipino words already. Thanks to her older cousin, Ate Buma. It also helps that my brother's family converse in Filipino. But there are times that we cannot understand what Anevay says because her pronounciation is a bit off. Just like she pronounced medicine into magazine.

Today, I heard her Ate Buma correcting her. Here is their conversation :

Anevay : Berry ( the bear ) needs magazine (medicine)
Buma : not magazine, MEDICINE. Say it, ME-Di-Cine
Anevay : Magazine
Buma : No, Anevay it's Medicine. Me-di-cine ( in an irritated tone)
Anevay : Magazine
Buma : Okay, fine. Just say gamot okay ?

haha. I cannot help but laugh.

Beauty Institute

My last time in a beauty saloon is the day before my accident in grocery store. That was a week before I was operated. So that means it was almost three months since I had my hair cut and my hand and feet pampered. I am planning to call for home service for my hair to be cut and also have some foot spa and a pedicure. But the problem is I am a bit doubtful if the one who would do the pampering would be capable enough to meet my standards. I have sensitive feet so I am choosy when it comes to doing my nails. Of course, I am not looking for someone who graduated from cosmetology school like Regency Beauty Institute but if I can why not, right? Regency Beauty Institute has been molding a lot of individiuals to be the capable the best in the field of cosmetology and they are now expanding. They have been building institute that not only educates but also helps their students to be in the network of saloon owners, to cruise ships and runways. I bet this would be of big help to their students.

My Little Santa

This was taken before the little girl went to her school for their pictorial on the upcoming Christmas Spectacle last Dec 17. The truth was I was stressed out because I cannot find any white skirt and red shirt for her. What she was wearing here is a white spaghetti dress and a blouse that she worn last Christmas.



I asked for her to pose for me and look at her.



I am so proud when I watched her during the Christmas Spectacle. I marvel at how patient the teachers were. Imagine, 17 kids with ages from three to five, teaching them almost 10 songs. And when the kids performed all parents are teary eyed. haha. When she was on stage, Anevay would look at where I was and would wave her hand and say Mommy, I love you! I was so glad that I came.

And the owner of the school told me that Anevay had matured a lot and become more indepedent. I can also see that transformation here at home. Now a day, I can asked her to give me water, food, and close the door. She really is growing up so fast.

Christmas Movies for Kids

I have been searching for different movies for the kids to watched this holiday. As you all know, ever since my accident, my older brother's family are with us. So we have kids. Anevay, her cousins ( my brother's kids) Luis (aged 13) and Buma (aged 8). Next week, another cousin Aish ( aged 6 ) would be coming over. And if I don't find something to keep them busy, we adults would be insane in watching them. haha. We have the desktop for them to used. But there are times that either adults used it too for work. So, the tv is a big factor. Right now, all they watched is SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS. Believe me, even if I am in the room, I seem to have memorized the voice of Sponge Bob already. haha. that's why I wanted to have them watch something different.

I already downloaded HOME ALONE ( 1 to 4), Bratz the movie, How to train your dragon, Astroboy, Despicable Me. And since it's Christmas, I want some movie that focus on it. I am thankful that I was able to see this article from Female Network. Here are the 15 movies they are suggesting.

1. Home Alone (1990)
2. A Christmas Carol (2009)
3. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
4. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
5. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
6. Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
7. The Year without a Santa Claus (1974)

For continuation of the list, you can go to this site.

I already have Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Miracle on 34th St. and the Muppet Christmas Carol. Hopefully the little girl would it.

Best Night Ever

It's not the first time that Anevay performed on stage yet I was so nervous and unsettled when we were approaching the day for their Christmas Spectacle. I know they have put in a lot of practice for this program and the teachers have kept everything from the mommies. So everyone was excited. And true enough, the kids plus the teachers have exceeded our expectation. They have given us a good show. The kids even talked during the program and been a co host. I had a good laugh when one of Anevay's teacher asked my daugther ( in French ) what she wanted for Christmas. Nah, she did say to me to buy gold online but rather she was consistent in saying she wanted a THIRD EYE BARBIE. We are going crazy thinking what this third eye barbie is. I know it's one of the toys she saw at Cartoon Network but we cannot point out what it is specifically. Here is a video clip of the program.



Unfortunately, we ran out of battery for the PS camera so we were not able to video her Santa Baby performance. But that number was a crowd pleaser. The girls were so cute. haha. OH I love that Christmas Spectacle. Its truly a night to remember.

Christmas Rush

I think I really a acne face cream. Even if I am only in my room and I still cannot go around much I am still feeling the Christmas rush. Really, I thought I would be exempted this year but no, I am quite busy planning. Good thing, I have my family to help me out. And would I say, online shopping saves my day. I am really thankful that today we have what we call the internet or else I would be a goner. Imagine, I was able to buy wooden puzzles for only Php 50 for Anevay's classmates. Also, gifts for her teacher and friends also. Then, I have my older sister do some shopping for me. Next week would be the Christmas gathering for anevay's school. They have a program and a special gatherings afterward. For this event, I have to buy her costume, exchange gift for her classmates, exchange gifts for the family and the food to bring. I am excited for this event. Though I will be coming in a wheelchair. The little one is excited also, she kept on telling me that she will be an angel.

At first I was already contemplating on not going but when I told her about it she just told me that she wants me to come and I have to used my bars so that I can walk to school. Bars = walker.

Here is our dialogue :

Me : Anevay, Tito and Tita will just watch you. Mommy will just stay at home.
Anevay : No, mommy, you have to watch.
Me : But I still have a booboo. I still cannot walk.
Anevav : But you can mommy, you can. You just used your bars (pointing to the
walker) and do the hop - hop walk to school.

So, yes, I would be going to school. I am not using my walker but I'll used my walker.

So Many Plans

And I thought I can spend Christmas normally. But unfortunately I was wrong. The doctor advised me to go easy on my operated leg and if I am going to used it should be on a progressive approach. My therapy would continue for two months. At the end of two months, I wish everything will be back to normal. I wanted to be up on my feet again because we have a lot of plan coming up. Seems like I really need to be on top of everything or else nothing will fall into place. We are planning to convert a part of our garage into an office space. I don't know yet if we need some glass mosaic tile but definitely we need to have some tables to accomodate one computer, a printer and a heavy machine. Given a choice and some funds, I would want to buy another machine. But that has to wait. For now, I am really happy that there are lots of orders coming in. We have not rolled out properly yet since I can only function a little from the bed. That's the reason why I wanted to speed up my recovery. Yet, I also have to do it little by little. As my doctor said, we don't want to overdo it for the reason that the knee might give up and have to be operated again. So patience, milet, patience.

The Shopping List

Aside from looking for different car insurance companies for the husband, I am trying to look for Christmas gifts online. I know I won't be able to go to the mall for Christmas shopping so I am doing everything online. Thanks to wonderful online friends who have some 'stuff' for sale I was able to find gifts for Anevay's teacher. Then for her classmates I am contemplating on giving the kids the wooden puzzle I saw at a multiply site.

I am praying really hard right now that I would have positive result on my check up tomorrow. I wanted to be free of my immobilizer and be able to walk. Surely I would continue on my rehab but I wish I can watch Anevay perform on the 17th. Also, I pray that the promise would come true. If that happens I would be able to buy the PSP go and DS LITE for my nephew and niece. I am already giving the little's one PSP to her older cousin. As for Anevay, I am still thinking what to give.

Lord, please heal my wound completely. Amen.

PayDay Loans

December has always been the joyous month of the year. It's Christmas, that's why everyone is on a gift giving mood. Even the companies have a way to make their employee happy. They would give bonuses and of course, the 13th month pay. When you think about it, the bonus and additional one month salary would surely cover the expenses of the gift and celebration of the yuletide season that you won't need to apply for different payday loans just to go through Christmas.

But somehow this additional fundings are not enough. Most employees, especially those I know would still apply for payday loans because they feel short and need some fast cash so that they would have money for next year or until the next pay day would come. Is it spending too much or the prices of the commodoties is far too high this year that the money being given is not enough. Or is it mishandling of finances? We know how that one line become popular, right? One day millionaire.

Applying for some payday loans is a good way to make both ends meet. It's easy, fast and convenient. But as a loaner you have to be a wise spender too! Also make sure you are responsible enough to pay what is due so that the interest won't go up, as well as your balances plus you have to maintain your good credit standing. This way the next time you apply for one, you will definitely have a fast approval.

Feeling This Way

I don't know what I am feeling right now. I woke up not in the mood because of some matters but still inside I am excited. I don't really know why. I am trying to suppress it because I am a bit nervous that I am giving myself false hope. Okay, I am looking forward to my check up this week because I feel that my wound is completely healed already. Yet, I am still not sure. It still depend on my doctor.

Maybe, I am excited because despite of all the things that happen regarding my health there are still a lot of blessings that were showered to us. We were not able to buy gold coins as part of our investment portfolio but at the look of things, we can surely have them early part of next year. My plan for next year is financial stability gained through investments and business. Gold might be a part of it because I am convinced of what I have been reading through the US Gold Bureau website. Hopefully we really can establish an investment for it.

Exam Week

There are so many things that I have to accomplish. Even if I am in bed, I still have to function as if I run the house. I feel that everybody is counting on me. Right now, I have to look into the little one's schedule in school, the business setup of my brother, the upcoming vacation of my husband. Well, I am just waiting for someone to come up and say can you help me with my fort lauderdale car rental? At least, even in bed, I am still useful.

I am also rushing work because I need to make some sort of software for the little one's reviewer. I was thinking last night what software I could used so that the review of Anevay would be done in the computer. She likes playing in the computer so I said to myself why not used it as a tool for learning also. So there.

Then now, while I am blogging, my brother is here with me discussing business. We are setting up one and here is one design of a couple shirt.

It's in Kapampangan and it say's that is the one I love.

Getting Help

For the past couple of weeks, my brother and his family has been staying in our house to take care of me and the little girl. Even if I am in the room because of my operated knee, I can still hear their interaction and most of the time discussion. As they spend their time with us, I realized how hard it is to raise a teenager nowadays. Even if my brother’s eldest son is a ‘good boy’, there are times when you can hear an argument between him and his father or mother. Most of the time, it’s about his hair, his time in the bathroom, when he asked permission to go out etc. I am thinking what would be our setup when it’s my time to deal with a teenager. Oh man, I dread that day to come.

With all the things around us now, you cannot help but think about the threat that poses to teenager. While I was lurking on the Facebook account of my niece and nephew, I cannot help but think of the problems that surrounds us. For example, alcoholism and addiction, when I was in high school a lot of my classmates have been involved in this problem. Some even have to undergo addiction treatment secretly. Some were lucky enough to be rehabilitated but unfortunately one close friend has met his demise because of drug addiction. It’s a cruel situation, one that I hope won’t happen again to any of my loved ones.

I learned my lesson ever since I lost a friend because of drug addiction. That’s why I told myself that if I suspected that someone close to me is alcohol or drug dependent, I’ll make sure to take to him and encourage him to undergo alcohol rehab before it’s too late. There are a lot of facilities out there who are willing to help. I think one of the nicest communities I have found while researching about heroin rehab is freedomdrugrehab.com which is located at Albion Michigan. It is a long-term inpatient treatment centre including detox and withdrawal services. You can count on them to help you out in your addiction problem.
