I love our house.

The comfort of a home entails quantity services. Such quality that clearly seen and is evident from the every four corners of your house. Actually, the purpose why my husband and I decided to choose the kind of house (our house now) is mainly because of quality. And when we speak about QUALITY, we trust.

Te rooms are spacious. They are wide that are not tightly congested and not tightly limited of space. Our children (in the future) can do whatever they want without hitting or banging.

The living room is wide enough to cater numerous friends and visitors. They are perfect for living room furniture's suitability. And when you are entering the house, the living room has this inviting aroma for you to relax.

The kitchen, it is perfectly planned. Working from preparation, washing to cooking is just within reach. You will not waste a mile to get all things done.

I love the bathroom. It has perfect shower utilities and an elegant tub that is perfect for me to do my body cleansing habit.

Above all, the materials that were used are wonderfully, durably made. Whether they are carpeted, tiled, walled - everything is absolutely perfect. It is like this house is newly made.

I love it. I love everything of it. Now, we finally have a quality, permanent house.

We are moving tomorrow.

We bought a house here in Katy, Texas and we (my husband and I) are moving tomorrow. Actually, we pack-up our things just last Wednesday. We ordered lots of moving boxes and we also asked help from the moving company here in Texas to transfer out things with the use of their moving truck by tomorrow. There are lots of huge things we have that they can't accommodate all in our cars.

Anyway, I am excited to transport to a new tranquil and accommodating place. Actually, it is also the house that we both like. It has 4 bedrooms, spacious rest room/comfort rooms, wide living room as well as kitchen and it has pool outside. The material used are of high quality, durable and well-ventilated. The floor is made out of tiles and some portions are carpeted as well.

All-in-all, it's perfect for our lifestyle. Furthermore, we are free from overly burdened of paying house rental. This new house we have economically save us from much expenses and this can be called our own now.

New environment, new house, new faces, new investment...This year stores lots of new things for me. They are really treasurable moments of my life.

My friend will get married this June.

June Bride, that is what my Filipino friend, Ivy (26 years old) is to be this 4 months to go. She is getting married on the 18th of June to Mr. Jason Ward (37 years old) from Texas who is her boyfriend for a year and a half month now. They actually met in a certain food chain where Ivy serves food for customers and one of those is Jason. They chat, go out together, travel a lot, know each other and commit to a love relationship until they decided to settle down this June.

Ivy often calls me, asking some advices about wedding matter - from venue, food, clothing, people involved, invitation cards to the celebration itself. But the best advise I tell her is to get a wedding planner to at least help her plan a luxurious wedding that would cater almost hundred plus people. I thinks securing the trust of a wedding planner is absolutely the most brilliant idea that she could expect so that her wedding will not turn into mess. I mean, for once-in-a lifetime occasion, it needs a mater-officiator to have a smooth, successful wedding celebration.

Education in the US is advance.

Education here in the US is like "no guts, no glory" because for a foreign person like me, it needs maximum strength to stand in all school endeavors and concerns. The educational system is very very very advance like I'm about to head to Mercury, but American students are about to reach Pluto and some landed in Pluto. Frankly, it terrified me sometimes. But I am always striving to do rather than to try. After all, it takes the nerves to be educated.

The teachers are full of wonderment. They do whatever they can. They teach artistically. Huge knowledge and branching information are what they share. They utter words that captures my attention. Their mouths are like sparks of bubbling deep words and meaningful utterances. They are absolutely great. That is why, I have realized that education here in the US is very expensive. Thus, it really pays to be educated.

Good education plus quality school facilities plus professional teachers equals better, competitive students. And they inflict me to always act, act and act more. Actually, it's challenging!

When dereaved family suffers funeral costs.

In everything, people should be prepared, But cases like deaths and burial, it is probably one thing that mostly people are not prepared financially. As a result, funeral costs are much of an expense especially of the concerned family.

When my mother died last June, 2009, we suffer tight-financial pressures from hospitalization to burial. Indeed, it wasn't an expectation. But when the hands of time permits her to retire from a Safe Refuge, there is no way but to solve and face every problem. They said that there are lots of things to prepare in this complicated world - health, education, investment, profession, taxes, etc. but seldom people laid mush cash on deaths. Practically speaking, inevitable instances in real life situation such as death (as I agreeably think) needs preparations. And to consider in saving portions for it will hinder serious people to suffer funeral costs.

Education: What a tough life.

It has been almost a week and half that I enter school here in the US. It is really tough especially for me that I am new in this country. I'm zero with US Government and History of America. But what is best and nourishing is that I have learned some things. Actually, I was so impressed with my classmates because they interrogate whatever pops into their mind and they are well-versed with the two subject. But for me, I am quite confused with many things. Which is which? I mean, the teachers are great as well as their instructions. It is just coping with all these stuff make me alien at all the time. It's tough, but it's challenging.

My classmates are actively participating and I am passively observing. I have hidden ideas of the said topics which the professor discusses everyday, but I am just coping with all those approaches - new school, no friends yet, new faces, new subjects and new educational system. Anyway, life is full of learning. After all, it takes my stimulus to condition.

Promotional Pens: For light or heavy writing jobs.

You'll find it so easy to select what is certain to please. Actually, the occasion is an assured success for no other pen is so desired, so dearly prized than promotional pens. With every stroke on paper, they bring a revelation in quick action, in smoothness and ease - even in filling.

Furthermore, hey are leak-proof and they answer dozens of daily needs.

What to consider in selecting dress materials?

We all want to be well dressed. However, we must know what a well-dressed person is through the clothes they wear. Considering certain factors when making garments for people, such as personality and age and of course, the occasion for which the garment is intended are essential.

Furthermore, selecting materials for dressmaking is a challenging task. The clothes we wear affect the way we look. Hence, in the choice of dress materials, one must know the elements of design such as lines, shapes and colors. For a pleasing effect; lines, colors and shapes should be properly arranged to ensure a good design.

Therefore, in any art work, I think the elements of design such as lines, shapes, colors and texture are considered important components. The arrangement and combination of these components follow the principles of design.

My interest in garments.

My interest in garment is understandable, considering the importance of appearance to one's sense of worth. Garments are far more important than what people think these are. And if you want to look your best, but can't afford expensive garments, the ultimate solution would be garment construction.

In taking body measurements, one should think of ways of making the task easy. Horizontal and vertical measurements are best to adopt. Body parts to be measured horizontally are the shoulder, bustline, hipline, bust pint width and the arm girth. In vertical measurement, body parts to be measured are the back figure, from figure, bust point height and sleeve length.

Furthermore, it is essential to follow some important guidelines in taking body measurement like tie a string around your natural waistline, wear well fitted bra and half slip, work in pairs - take your partner's measurement after she has taken yours, remove heavy and bulky clothing, see the measurements are close but not tight, read the tape measure from the correct side, record measurement accurately, etc.

Most important, the accuracy of body measurements depend on the exact waistline location. Correctly made patterns and well fitted garments can be done if body measurements are taken accurately.

My pleasure in sewing.

They say when you are old, you start to sew. But for me, the training should start as early as you are young. In fact, there is simply no telling where my imagination will take me as I begin sewing. I want to explore everything and try new things as well. This weeks tasks of mine is to practice sew decorative style for home.

It is indeed great because I can make anything that I want and it adds my curiosity and creativity about anything.

My first day in attending to school here in the US.

My first day of school is a mixture of excitement and a little nervousness. I reached early in school and saw lots of students in the campus. My first subject in the morning is American and Texas Government. The professor is great. He thoroughly explains the topic well while me, just quietly, seriously listening to every detail he said. And I was taking down notes on a piece of paper.

There were almost 25 of us. Though there is always be that first time, most of my classmates were jotting down notes not in clean sheet but in their mini-laptop. Others use recorders as well. This give me the hint that why not use technology next time. It is accessibly a perfect idea!

On the other hand, in the afternoon, the History of America is such an adventurous topic for me. Discovering all about USA is like traveling to a mysterious place that ignites my curiosity. It's just I'm amateur on both two subjects. But anyway, I'm coping with them. After all, it's my desire and my utmost want to be in school. Though tough challenges I expect to encounter are inevitable to happen. It's just I'm new to everything. I just hope that I can gain real friends so I will not be always alone in school.

Frankly, I've search, looking and staring everywhere in the campus if I could find Filipinos, but apparently, I'm just the only one.

New school, new environment, new subjects, new faces...It's absolutely normal to feel this way. And this FIRST will surely bring the GOOD, BETTER and BEST of me. This is life after all!

My Makeup.

I know it's not polite to brag, so I'll stick to the facts. My eyes, my gorgeous eyes are turning heads. And it's only natural. I see it coming. The sideways glances. Faraway stares. Full, up-and-down passes. Thanks to my skin care makeup. I'm a catch to my husband's stare.

House Plants

I believe that house plants do a lot more than just brighten up a room - they also help remove the toxins that cause indoor air contamination. And these five household plants do exceptionally well at removing formaldehyde which are found in carpeting, plastics and synthetic fabrics:

Spider Plant - Does best in medium to bright light, water thoroughly, and let soil dry out between watering.

Peace Lily - Blooms in medium light, keep soil slightly moist.

Bamboo Palm - Keep in medium to bright light; thrives in humid environments.

Janet Craig (Corn Plant) - Keep in bright light but out of direct sun; let soil dry out between watering.

Mother-in-law's Tongue (Snake Plant) - Very durable and grows well in all lights; be careful not to over-water.

These five real plants detoxifies life's impurities. They are great helpers as well.

Investment Management

Success doesn't come easy. You've worked hard for what you have. That is why, my husband and I save a lot and we're very glad that a certain company understands the investment we've earned. Their services are simply a way to help us take on our next challenge. Absolutely, their highest priority is to thoroughly understand our situation. And help us give on our journey ahead.

Vaginal discomfort doesn't have to be superficial.

My husband and I find great time together in bed. We both are satisfied. We just love our intimate relationship. But I feel vaginal discomfort. And I believe cases like this doesn't have to be superficial.

Experiencing this vaginal discomfort lead me always uncomfortable. Even when I go to work or just about doing anything at home, I feel its pain. Sometimes dryness makes my day worst because of this discomfort. Maybe a vaginal cream is just what I should need. But I have to ask my doctor about this first.

Room for improvement.

After 3 years of living here in the USA, I found a better refuge, a development of my English progress.

Before, I used to have no extra gut to express myself because of a sudden-feel that maybe I could make myself in shame of the crowd. People might label me "wrong grammar." Or they would probably say, "Simple English, cannot understand." Actually, I have receive criticisms life that and even more like that. But I didn't take it seriously to the extent that it would depress me. Oftentimes, I need to accept reality. Yes, they're right. My English is low.

Fortunately, I don't want to be stagnant of learning English. The environment helps me to get out from my shell.

Through daily encounter of American peole who usually find me enriching to deal with, I jot down vocabulary out from their tongue. I remember those unfamiliar words and apply them appropriately in my daily conversation.

The book, my guide in life. I am driven to read more and more. I can't wait to know the ending that it pursues me to read ahead until I discover the last. Also, the various helpful information gathers me with further curiosity about the language. Even sign posts, candy wrappers and almost everything that I've seen English, I seriously take it as an account. English is like colors to me. Beautifully painted for me to read.

Now, I am able to express myself freely without doubt, without fear. I am happy and I'm enjoying English. It's fun to learn English. It's like my favorite Math subject.

The truth is, I am glad knowing that I have potential and self-worth. English discovers my inner self, my capabilities, talent and existence. It's glad to know that I'm not worthless after all.

New Tech despite hard times.

I have seen various recent cars that are fad in this year. And probably the best characteristic of the automotive after-market industry is its constant push forward for a better mousetrap. Hot rodders by nature can't leave well enough alone and are always tinkering with a part, an idea or a concept to try and make it better. It's all in the name of going faster than the other guy or the pride in developing something better. Even in these tough economic times, countless industries are plugging forward as fast as they can, developing sweet new speed parts to make junk run better and faster.

When a friend has a miscarriage...

Sometimes, we're so eager to say something - anything - that we blurt out things we later wish we hadn't. Other times, we thing we're saying something helpful, only to find out that we made a friends feel worse. Or we don't say anything at all and doesn't feel right, either.

No matter how clunky people's reaction, most of them genuinely want to make a friend who's lost a baby feel better. "Even the most insensitive things that pop out of their mouth are usually motivated by an impulse to make everything okay," says Ann Douglas, author of The Mother of All Pregnancy Books.

Douglas added that's with a miscarriage, what often gets minimized is the depth of the loss or at least that's hoe it can feel to someone who is hurting. "Even a very early miscarriage is the loss of a baby, and that causes grief," says Douglas.

Thus, "If you aren't sure what to say, just say, 'I'm sorry,'" suggests Douglas. "It might seem generic, but in most cases, it's the most appropriate thing to tell someone," she added.

How blessed we are.

In times that we are always surviving in order to live our life in maneuvering every instances and facets where we should go, there are always good people around. Those persons meant by God to help us prosper and meet the challenges of our everyday needs. Actually, that is the reason why I celebrate this day with gladness and gratitude.

In all these years, I have been doing my best, to share what I have and to help others as well. I never expect for anything in return. What feels me this day and for the past days is that there are lots of blessings that comes my way. I never expect this to happen. In fact, I have been very thankful, always and forever.

I know the Lord let this people help me and dwell into my life. And without them, I can't be able to sustain my needs. Indeed, the Lord works in mysterious ways. I always see His presence from the people around me and the unending great chances and opportunities He keeps on helping me and guiding me all the way of my life. And this blessings, I don't want to stagnantly keep it for myself. I want to share it to the people as well.

Factors to be considered in responsible parenthood.

Couples who have entered into the institution called marriage are aware that one of the primary reasons for getting into it is to beget children, as the Old Testament advises "live and multiply." But even the Old Testament did not specify how many children should a couple raise. So, it ts the couple's discretion as to the member they can afford to raise. This is where knowledge of responsible parenthood becomes very essential.

Responsible parenthood, as described by Luz Villanueva-Rojo, author of Practical Technology and Home Economics III, is the ability of a married couple to raise a contented and happy family.

On the other hand, it is a known fact that when the size is not moderated or regulated in most families, parents are not able to satisfactorily cope with their physical, social, economic, physiological, spiritual and other needs. But parents who are aware of these responsibilities to themselves, to their children and to the community where they belong becomes responsible parents.

Having children is the fulfillment of marriage. How to adequately rear, love, take good care of and educate the children are the obligations and responsibilities that parents have to face. "But preparing for responsible parenthood must take into consideration several factors," says Rojo. Some of these factors, according to her are:

Parental Role. Parents must not only provide physical and material needs but love, security and continuous guidance fro the children to become upright, responsible and worthy members of the home and community.

Family Relationship. Raising a family calls for a lot of interaction in the process of relating to one another. Harmonious relationship not only between husband and wife and children but with in-laws and relatives must be one of the central purpose of responsible parenthood.

Knowledge adjustments. Parents must be emotionally prepared and committed to change their lifestyle. Couple who are emotionally adjusted stand a better chance of coping with the situation.

Indeed, becoming parents carries with it a new set of duties and responsibilities that the couple must accept and practice. And that is what we (my husband and I) have to foster for our children in the near future.

New clue to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Being a wife, a mother in the near future, I always feed myself with information which regard to parenting, babies, family and health. Last week's headline focus me to think about the common cause of infant deaths or popularly known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Fortunately, US Researchers constantly find ways and furthering their study about this case.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, each year more than 2,300 babies die before their first birthday sue to risk of SIDS. "Babies who die from sudden infant death syndrome make low amounts of the message-carrying brain chemical serotonin needed to regulate sleep, breathing and heart rate," says U.S. researchers. They said abnormal levels of serotonin may hamper an infant's breathing, especially in challenging situations, such as breathing in too much exhaled carbon dioxide while sleeping face down.

"The current findings provide important clues to the biological basis of SIDS and may ultimately lead to ways to identify infants most at risk as well as additional strategies for reducing the risk of SIDS for all infants," says Dr. Alan Guttmacher, director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which funded the study.

In the study, Dr. Hannah Kinney of Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston and colleagues examined brain tissue from babies who died from SIDS and from other causes. The tissue came from the medulla, a region at the base of the brain that regulates basic functions such as body temperature, breathing, blood pressure and heart rate.

In addition, Kinney's team found that serotonin levels were 26 percent lower in tissue from babies who died of SIDS than those who died from other causes, and they also found low levels of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, which is needed to make serotonin.

As a result, the team hopes the study will lead to a test that measures a baby's serotonin levels, making it possible to identify children at highest risk for SIDS.

As always advised, parents or caregivers should put infants on their backs to sleep, avoid keeping rooms too warm and keep loose blankets and pillows away from infants.

Swimmer's Itch

I love to swim. In fact, I plunge into the pool and have fun in the water for hours during my vacant time (from work), during weekends or just any day that I am free from extraneous works. But I don't feel like swimming this week because my legs are itchy. Probably, my friends are right, I got a small reddish pimples or blisters which they called swimmer's itch. They advised me that next time after I swim, I should briskly dry my skin with a towel. But here it is right now, it's itchy and I just hold myself from scratching. I dab it with powder but it doesn't work. I apply lotion. It lessens the itch, but no totally recovered.

Wearing a hearing aid.

Like most people whose hearing is impaired, my friend Claire has no wish to be conspicuous by being shouted at. She is proud she found the way to converse with hearing people on an equal basis.

Only when she purposely reveals her tiny ear receiver would anyone notice that she's hard of hearing. Her reasoning is simple and sound. Her choice of wearing a hearing aid is equally smart. She rightly recognize that hearing problems vary with individuals.

Why shouldn't she enjoy better hearing - when she couldn't fool anyone about her deafness anyway?

Traveling around the world? Vacation Rentals help.

We love traveling to places. Actually, my husband and I have always that zest of seeing and discovering the beauty of the world and what it brings.

We have been to various places in Texas, Florida and this year, we are planning to travel to Europe as long as we both manage our time and have that break from work.

Being far from home when we travel is such a miss feeling. Good thing that there are vacation rentals that would always secure our comfort, leading us to home. Actually, it is there accommodation, food, price and the beauty of the surrounding that make us really at home even we are far away from home.

Indeed, this is what matters every time we travel. Of course, our main purpose is to release the stress that brought by work and other pressures. The destinations we are going perfectly understand our concern.

Rules in choosing shoes.

I always love wearing shoes of different styles and color. Flat, high-heeled, sporty, booty, sandals, stilettos, etc. to what I like. Actually, I'm confident expressing my personal style through my foot wear. It makes me feel great and comfortable. In fact, in most cases, during special occasions, I do wear something special as well - from clothes to make-p and of course, shoes.

I'm just 5'3". That's why, I need to look tall and alleviate myself about 3 or 4 inches. As a result, I often use high-heeled shoes. If clothes covers me completely, my shoes expresses the real mood and the occasion I'm attending to. But there are also cases that I'm wearing a nice dress with inappropriate shoes, not thinking I'm gossip of the day of my friends. I've been looking over the fashion magazine for me to get hint (at least). Moreover, I do search the web to read information abort compatibility - shoes and clothing.

Oftentimes when I go shopping, I usually by numerous shoes and sadly, I end up not using them and only 3 pairs I often use again and again. According to Harper's Bazaar 9 Chic Shoes Rules, "Don't be hobbled by discomfort even if you love a pair, if you can't walk in them, don't buy them. Limping around in heels is decidedly ungraceful."

Actually, I find Harper's information beneficial. Here are some of his advices that I want to share with you so that when cases like special occasions and others, we will not look too ignorant on what's proper about pairing the appropriate shoes and dresses.

Dare to Wear Brights. An electric hue can amp up a look, including outfits in colors other than black and denim. Try colored shoes with white, khaki, and pastels. A scarlet-red dress, however, calls for neutral footwear.

Wear What's Appropriate. Open-toe sandals may be too risqué for a conservative suit, while a flat may be too casual for a cocktail frock. Keep your sneakers relegated to gym clothes or casual jeans. When in doubt, it's hard to go wrong with a classic black pump.

Going Outdoors? Say No to Stilettos. It will be difficult to walk when your heels keep sinking into the ground, and you'll ruin your shoes. Flats are fine, but if you want height, wedges are an ideal option.

Make a Statement. A spindly stiletto sandal is all about looking sexy, while a bow-emblazoned kitten heel veers more toward cute. Know what look you're going for, and go full out.

Va-va-voom Shoes Have Their Place. Nighttime is the right time for attention-getting shoes. If you still want to wear a knock-'em-dead look during the day, choose a closed-toe or peep-toe pump.

Pair Sky-High Shoes with Tame Hemlines. When going for major air,keep your hemlines at an inch above the knee. But when wearing a short skirt or dress, wear a lower heel or flat — it will balance you out and keep you from showing altogether too much leg.

Wear Flats with Properly Hemmed Clothes. Make sure your clothing is tailored or you'll risk looking sloppy. A trouser leg should fall at or above the ankle, while skirts or dresses should end above the knee.

Think About Balance (And we're not talking about the kind you need to walk.).A thicker-heeled shoe grounds a heavily layered look, when something dainty could look off balance. The reverse also holds true. When wearing a wispy frock, a thin-strapped sandal is an appropriate match.

Now, I know. At least, I can modify myself through an intelligent change that make me look fit and pleasing and it all start p with my shoes and dress plus the occasion.

I have stretch marks.

Having a perfect, flawless skin is always what I want. In fact, I have experience having the perfect skin but not now because I have stretch marks. They are few but it's not cool. I am wondering why this is so. I am just thinking maybe it's because my husband and I have spend time together whenever we like.
