Contemporary engagement rings are an option for women with an eye for the latest designs. These rings feature clean lines and designs that are modern and cutting edge. Contemporary rings range from pear-shaped diamonds to gold twisted split-shank halo diamonds with diamond encrusted white-gold bands. Many jewelry designers have incorporated black diamonds and black rhodium to create even more contemporary designed engagement rings.

Christmas Spectacle

I am trying to upload all the videos of the performance of the kids in the christmas spectacle but unfortunately I cannot find the time. Also all videos are in HD, so uploaded takes a lot of hours. But I am really proud of our little girl. She really can carry herself as an emcee. She did not even have nerves. Well, maybe because she is still young and does not recognized fear yet. I remember during my time, I would be a bunch of nerves whenever I am up in the stage. It took a lot to maintain my composure and carry on with my role. Here is one part of their program. Notice how she kept on getting the microphone. haha. That's because it was her time to speak.

Fulfilled Promise

Last October the little girl had a field trip in Residence Inn. And when she saw the picture of her schoolmate trying the zip line she asked me why she was not able to ride it also. I told that to the husband so he promised the little girl that once he got home they would go to Tagaytay and try it. And I am so proud of my husband because he was able to fulfilled that dream. I think even if he needs to buy white noise machine he would if it would make his daughter happy. Yesterday, they were able to ride the zip line and cable car in Tagaytay. Anevay was scared but happy. She keeps on talking about their experience and I think the husband enjoys it as well. This is one of the reason why I love the husband so much.

Passed!

Last December 3, Anevay have taken an entrance exam for Grade 1 in St. Scholastica Academy here in Marikina. We were in St. Scho around 7:30 because we were asked to be there at 7:45. Prior to the exam, Anevay was interviewed twice by two different guidance counselor. The first one talked to me also and asked me if I am really enrolling Anevay as Grade 1. I told her yes and I was referred to the head guidance. The head explained to me that it seems Anevay is not yet ready for Grade 1 since she is very 'malikot' and cannot sit still for a few minutes. She has poor concentration according to them. I was asked again if I am sure if she would be grade 1. I told them yes. A few days after, the registar called our house and asked me to bring the card of Anevay from her first school. They again talked to me about Anevay and I was told that if she fail the exam she would be able to enroll. I told them it's okay since I still have other option. And come result day, I was happy because the little girl did not disappoint me. She was able to passed her exam and can enroll in St. Scho as Grade 1 :) Indeed, I am one proud mama!

Winter Clothes

I am just waiting for our VISA and I would start buying some winter clothes for me and the little girl. No, I am not planning to buy kelty tents but some jackets, gloves, scarfs and hats. I really need to make sure that I am fully suited or else I would suffer the cold weather. I am already anticipating some joint pains along the way but I am still praying that God will give me the strength so that we can enjoy our one month vacation. I do plan to have some serious shopping when we go to Kuwait so despite those shopping plans I also try to do some budgeting to make sure that we have enough funds when we are there. I am quite excited but still edgy because our documents are not yet fully accomplished.

Sentiments about Bullying

I admit that there are times when Anevay would tell me that one of her classmates hurt her in school and sometimes tell her some words that she finds hurtful. I don't really consider this stuff as bullying yet. I think they are part of the kids playfulness and exploring years. But I wanted to share with you a dialogue in Rookie Blue. A series about policemen. This conversation is between Tracy and his boyfriend Jerry. Tracy is a single mom who juggles her career in the police academy and taking care of her kid while Jerry is a detective who she have a relationship.

TRACY : I already told Leo that fighting back is not the answer, there is good in everyone you just have to find it

JERRY : So, you lied to him. Trace, one thing that I've learn in this job is to expect the worst out of everyone and if I'm wrong GREAT but some people, a lot of people are just plain BAD!

TRACY : I choose to believe in the fundamental goodness of human nature.

Who do you empathize with ?

Call Maid Service

Every day I wake up, moving out of the bed is always a challenge as well as moving around the house and doing the chores. This is one of the many symptoms of LUPUS. We call it morning laziness and most of the time it is so hard to overcome such condition because if you fight it, you would end up with a severe fatigue issue. Sometimes, when it’s not my day, I also suffer from joint pains making my movement so painful. So, my rule is taking it slow and house work would just have to wait. Because of this, I have now a daughter who is complaining that our house is so dirty. Well, I wanted to blame myself but my every understand husband would always say to me that my health is a priority and I should not be thinking about those worries. I just have to do it when my body is well and would permit such task. But he also suggested on me taking on some help. He told me that if I still am not into the idea of hiring a stay in house help I would just have to find a cleaning service that can perform general cleaning even just once a month. I am hoping I could find a reliable cleaning service like Maid Service Reston VA they have a wide range of cleaning service that would really leave your house dust and germ free. Hopefully there would be something of this nature in our area.

Frustrations

I have been in some frustrating situation a couple of days ago. I was left regretting some decisions that I have made in the past. I know I should not cry over spilled milk but still I can't help but blame myself for trusting some things. So, I decided to change this and hopefully God would allow me to make the changes. If not, I guess I just have to accept the fact and move on. But for now, I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I can still be happy with our current situation.
