Every new year people make resolutions to change aspects of themselves they believe are negative. A majority of people revert back to how they were before and feel like failures. This year I challenge you to a new resolution. I challenge you to just be yourself. ~Aisha Elderwyn~

Welcome the New Year with warm open arms and prepare yourself for a brand new beginning. Leave all the grudges, bitterness and sour feelings you have behind and be ready to start anew for the year 2010!

We Had Our Second Snow

Thankful as I am as well as the rest of the Texans we are hoping for more snow for the rest of the Winter. Before this year ends, God heard the wishes of His people, to have some snow that is. Yesterday, we had our second snow although it wasn't as much as the Christmas' eve snow but still am thankful for it. Simple things like these can really bring my joy to the extreme.

I can never get tired of snow, it is pretty, so white and of course a lot of fun to play with my baby.

........my first ever snowman that looks like "something else"... would just try to make another one next time...
...... obviously she loves it too..
....too scared wouldn't even go near it..

For A Change

As you may have noticed this blog's background has now changed, from small red fonts to just simple bigger gray ones. The background itself is changed too, I realized that I am so tired of looking at peachy flowery color of my blog so I decided to have it replaced with a white and just a simple pink flower in the header. Voila! This blog looks clean and neat now. What d'ya think guys?

It's gonna be a couple years before I can change it again as I am busy doing my business online and offline here so I guess you just have to be contented of what my current template is. Happy Monday everyone!

Her Pink Presents

Jadyn has got a lot of toys this year than the previous Christmas. Mostly are pink/girly stuff from us and from Annie, Lerio and Rose. If I were her, I would be so confuse on what toy to play first for there like a bunch of them plus the old toys she already have.

Pink toys are just pretty! They are so tempting to buy for baby girls of any ages. Thanks for the pink stuff people, our little girl sure does love 'em.

... the Disney Princess fishing game toy all the way from Colorado... hasn't taken a picture of her playing her Tita Rose's Disney mini piano for our camera is broken...

... her talking, sleeping and sucking milk baby made to make her experience how it is being a mommy ...

...her trike from Annie

Jadyn and The Snow

These photos were taken earlier today when the snow just started pourin' that is why it looks so thin on the ground. I wasn't able to take pictures of her when it was 4 inches thicker for she took her nap and I thought that it would be a torture for her if I did because the wind was blowing so hard.

It's not much but it's good enough. Better to have some than not having anything at all. When the snow got 4 inches thick it was dark already so tomorrow when I wake up I am hoping it will still be there so I can play some more.

Quite A Productive Day

I have done all my chores I ought to do today. The weather was cooperating with me that it allowed me to go outside with the baby to plant some of my tulip bulbs I have for a long time. I wasn't able to plant around the other pecan tree though because I was out of soil, couldn't drive and I just wait for my husband this weekend for another sack of soil.

But despite of that, I felt I accomplished something for I was able to do the planting while the temperature was fair. I was able to water some of the plants in the backyard as well. The rest of chores were followed when I was done outside. I did my dishes, finished the laundry (now need to fold 'em), showered myself and the baby!

Meanwhile, I'm relaxing here on my computer. In few minutes I'll be outta here and do other things.

Gorgeous Color

You might be wondering where I got these pictures knowing that we are now experiencing cold temperature almost everyday? Well, we went to San Antonio last weekend and you may not know, it is a lot warmer there than where we live. Even I, was amazed upon seeing these trees still having their colorful leaves and looks like they just started to fall.

.... the fallen leaves I took, can't resist the beauty of the leaves as they were just pretty so I took a snap of it as a souvenir.

Excited For My Baby

I grew up in a family where there were only limited resources of money. I never had lots of nice toys nor nice dresses or other special things that a little girl could want. If my parents could buy me a new school bag, that alone made me feel like on top of the cloud. Never did I experience opening gifts on Christmas day just because there were too many kids in our household that my parents couldn't afford to buy each kid a present.

With all these being said, I am making up my with my baby by giving everything to her the nice stuff I never got to have when I was a child. This coming Christmas is going to be our Jadyn's second Christmas and we are thankful for that. I finished wrapping all her toys last week and when we went to San Antonio we went shopping again for additional toys.

We have like 8 gift boxes for our Jadyn to open this Friday and I am sooo excited for her to open those. I can't wait for Christmas day to come really.

Beautiful Photos To Share

I can't wait to go back home tomorrow as I am anxious sharing the beautiful photos of scenery we took today. When we arrived here yesterday, I was very amazed at how colorful the leaves down here. I mean, trees in Fort Worth are almost bald now except for the Pine trees that just turned redish brown.

Here in AFV2 alone, I could see plenty of trees still have their golden yellow, redish and brownish leaves which I think is just soooooooooo pretty! This is the wonder of nature. While in some other states, snow pourin' heavily and always the sky is gloomy and cold temperature they're experiencing, here in Texas we feel that nature is so kind to us. Fair temp with plenty of sunshine and at the same time admiring the beauty that nature brings us. Awesome!

Anyways, I shall end this post now and take a nap for we had a long day today.

Something In The Air

...that makes my nose real ticklish right now. This is new to me you know? I don't think I am sick it's just that I keep sneezing from time to time and my throat is hoarse. We are gonna stay here in SA, Texas until tomorrow morning and I guess I won't feel relieved until we get back home. I don't wanna take an allergy medication either as I believe this will go away soon.

My husband and baby aren't sneezing so it's probably just me who is sensitive to a pollen or something that's in the air. Yikes this is so uncomfortable as I'm starting to feel light headache now.

Jadyn's First Trip To The Dentist

Jadyn's first trip to the dentist took place today at one in the afternoon. It didn't take us long at that place though because the dentist didn't do anything in her teeth except just to look at them and see how bad is the discoloration of teeth she has. He was saying that it is nothing major. It cannot go worse either except that we need to be persistent in brushing her teeth.

She is set to see the dentist again in six months time to take a better look at her teeth. I hope in 6 months time she'll let the dentist see through her teeth so the discoloration will be taken care of before it's gonna go bad. The reason we brought our baby to the office is that we have a hard time brushing her teeth every night. She wouldn't allow us to do so but I am stubborn and wouldn't let my baby rule over me even if she insist I would still brush her teeth.

Problem With My EC

I so wanted to return the hits I got from my drop boxes today but too unfortunate of me I couldn't do it. For some reason, EC won't let me. When I tried clicking on ec drop of my visitors it would say "GET ONE" even if I logged in to my account. I tried all four different blogs of mine and it still does the same thing.

I wonder if any of you out there have experienced this before? This is the first time ever happened to me and I hope it won't be a constant problem. I'm afraid to lose my regular droppers you know? God forbid I don't want that to happen. I welcome any suggestions or comments you may have there, I will appreciate it if you tell me how to resolve this issue.

Chaos In Facebook

I don't know if I continue uploading pictures on Facebook anymore as they changed it, I notice chaos starting to show on their site. I don't like the idea that my pictures has always been tagged or my video shown in someone else's wall. Damn! I hate that.

This is scary for I feel I have no control with my own account anymore. Someone has told me that my picture has been tagged and she keeps seeing it. Argggggggsss what is this hackers or virus that is the same to that of Friendster? Hey facebook staff, could you repair this thing right away? I was so surprised upon hearing this from a friend. Please I don't want any more surprises in the future ok?

So Cold Out There

The sun is up shining brightly. Perfect for some outdoor activities, that is what I thought when I got up this morning. But when my husband went outside real quick he said it was very cold out there that he couldn't stay longer outside. He was only there to get the dog dish and when he was back inside he was rubbing his arms and felt very cold.

How could it be so cold of mid 30's temperature while the sun is so alive? Good thing we have a good heater that runs perfectly in the whole house otherwise we will be suffering from severe hypothermia lolz. What am I talking about here? Very nonsense. Ah just lemme go now before I talk really out of topic.

Friendship Nearby

above is the beautiful baby of Briley couple and Rose...below is of Rose and me outside the theater after watching New Moon last Nov.20

What a fortune having someone whom I felt like a family here in this strange cold land, America. I got two of them namely Annie and Rose. They are both bisaya like me and bisaya really get along well. Rose are just like our mother, she give advice, upfront, make every occasion possible to happen and most of all willing to help the best she can just to make us feel accepted and loved. This alone is a gift of God, friendship, that is. Photos above are of me in red sweater with Rose and the other picture is of my friend and Annie's baby.

Blinded

For weeks, I was trying to find my camera charger and usb cable, without these things it is impossible for me to transfer our photos to my computer so I was eager to really find them. I was getting pissed because I looked everywhere, I went every boxes we have in three rooms but still I couldn't find the damn things.

My husband almost buy me a new charger today and I asked him how much, he replied 47 dollars. I exclaimed, WHAT?? That is the price of a freaking new charger, why the world everything is so expensive?? I told him to put the thing down back to the rack and forget about it. 47 is too much for me. I can buy something else other than stupid charger in Best Buy. So today, I was able to save ourselves from wasting 47 bucks. Aside from that, I FOUND our old charger!!! Isn't that great?

I felt relieved! Now all I have to do is find the USB cable then I will be good. Sometimes, we are too blinded of the things we thought we couldn't find while in fact they are just right before our very eyes. That's what happened to us. We looked everywhere just for the damn charger but it was just in my computer box IN FRONT OF ME.

Soup Of The Day

The weather is crazy all day. We woke up with a very low temperature of 44 degrees. It was raining too that contributed to a much cooler temperature all throughout the day geeeeez! My hands and feet are cold and when I feel that, I get hungry all the time too. If I don't feed my stomach, I would not feel comfortable. So to relieve my hunger, I made a beef soup with veggies which can be seen below this post, the picture attached that is.

This soup was our viand today and it's good for it tastes great. Hahaha love my own cooking kaayo. Truly it is good even Jadyn the American-Pinay baby loved it. I still have some soup of the beef left and I look forward to finishing it tomorrow morning for breakfast.
