My Uncle and Aunt in Australia like collecting coins and postcards of the countries they have visited. He started it when he was only 20 years old and it has been growing since. I wonder how much is the value of what he has collected now? It started as a hobby for him but he’s fascination for coins and even rare coins grew when he realized that a single coin has so much history to it. He has a few coins from the US too when they came to visit New York a couple of years ago that is why I am wondering if he will be interested in purchasing morgan dollars to add to his collection. It will be a perfect addition to any collection because it is also considered as an investment, an investment that will keep on growing in time for your benefit. So get your Morgan dollar from Monaco Rare Coins, the company that a lot of people trusted for many years.
I woke up after only 6 hours of sleep because I am trying to finish something that I was not able to do last night because it was getting late or shall we say getting early in the morning. I was surprise that Ryan didn't come to the kitchen this morning when he got up to change Frankie. When he sees me still up, he usually comes to the kitchen and ask me if I have any intentions of going to bed at all. He must have been so sleepy to notice. When I joined him to bed I woke him up and we were talking for a little bit. We had dinner together before I went to work last night but I woke him up to tell him about work and about things. I also asked him if he has already booked the hotel for next month but he mentioned it to me last night but he forgot. I also told him I want to sit right next to him to pick the hotel but one thing is for sure, it won't be a bed and breakfast just like what we had before. 
Hopefully tomorrow (I mean today) I will be able to start sending the invitations as well as the packages for my brother and Uncle Don. I have been putting it off that my brother's birthday already passed. What a shame. We had prepared little clothes for the little baby which by the way we are all so anxious to see. There are no signs yet as of this time. We can't wait to see him through the webcam. So today besides writing, it will be a busy day again with so much stuff to get done. The clothes that needs to be ironed are waiting for me and I work tonight. I better get some sleep before it is time for Ryan to get up.
Have you been to a hotel where, it was so beautiful that you don’t want to leave? I mean when we go places we normally don’t stay long at the hotel because we tend to explore the place that we are visiting but this one is different because you would rather stay in the hotel because of their astounding amenities as well as their service. I honestly haven’t been to a hotel that I really liked. All the hotels I have been to are just so-so and some are so bad that I can’t wait to leave.
Well I don’t think I would feel like this if the hotel will be one of the hotels from Karismahotels.com. By just looking at the pictures and reading at the services that they offered, I know it is the perfect place for destination weddings for those who are planning to tie the knot. They have several wedding packages to choose from too. So if I were you, visit Karismahotels.com today and be blown away with the services they offered for those who are getting married, on a honeymoon as well as for the entire family.
Excuse the look of my face but we are always like this whenever we go to other people's house (relatives of course). We sit there and the 3 of us takes turn to sing. We can be there all the long but that is our way to bond. Loot at how young Resty and Ging-ging and how skinny I was. I don't remember what year this is but I saw this in Ging-ging's myspace and snagged it from her. 
We only had a take down today so it wasn't that bad. I am glad that we left the store early and when I got home I was still able to see Papa up. He was chatting with Resty when while she is at work. He got to talk to her for a little bit. When I sat down to start writing he gave me a kiss on my forehead because he was heading to bed too. I got a chance to talk to Uncle Don for an hour and he was so happy that I called. I am glad that I made him happy. He wanted to help Resty to bad but I stopped him from doing so. As you remember he was the one who helped Resty for her bond money to go to Taiwan and she has never paid him yet and he kept on saying it is a money he doesn't need. So Resty is going to buy a calling card to give him a call to assure him that she is well because he was so worried of her. Before we bade goodbye, I made him promise that he will not do anything to help because he has helped enough. He laughed and he said, I guess he will listen to me this time but knowing Uncle Don, I don't think so.
Whenever I go shopping, I can’t help but sometimes look at what other customers are wearing. I like it when they are also wearing matching designer costume jewelry with their outfit especially those sophisticated looking ones. I have always wondered before where they got their jewelries but now I realized that they must have gotten it from Holstedjewelers.com. They have been satisfying their customers for 37 years with their beautifully designed, yet affordable costume jewelries, so that everyone can now look at their best without making a hole in their pocket. It is the personalized jewelries is what I liked the most. I have always wanted to have a pendant with Ryan and Frankie’s photo in it and I can now get it from Holstedjewelers.com. So the next time you need a gift for someone then you better check them out.
It is warm right now so what do you expect? Papa is outside doing something. He took the garbage out and he hasn't been back. He can't wait when it gets warm outside because he can do a lot of things in our front and back yard. He is in the front yard now sweeping some leaves. He is not even wearing any jacket. As soon as Frankie gets up, he will be joining his Taytay. He likes following him around and when they are together outside, it also gives me the time to write and be alone for a little bit. We have so many places to go to today and I need to write because I also have deadlines for later today. I am not sure if I will be able to make it in time so I am trying to do them right now. I woke up so early today and I just finished one. Got to go Frankie, just got up. 
Did you notice something? The more a certain product is advertised the more it gets very expensive? It is just simple logic. They pay for those expensive ads on TV or on billboard so they have to pull the payment somewhere that is why they increase the price up of the product being advertised. Do you think it will sell if they jacked the price up? Well then the ad better be persuasive enough to attract buyers even if it is expensive. My point is ads don’t always tell the truth.
Have you ever heard or seen a commercial on TV about Zenni Optical and how they sell prescription eyeglasses for only $8! Never did although I have read fellow bloggers who talked about Zenni. That makes Zenni Optical’s line of eyeglasses very affordable because there is no middle man that adds up the price and no expensive commercials. Besides with how bad the economy is, it is time to start seeing straight without breaking bank and Zenni is letting us do that. That is why if you ask me, I would rather believe on things I read like from New York Times rather than what I see on TV. It makes a huge difference when Zenni Optical in the New York Times?! With Zenni Optical around, gone are the days when you have to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a single pair of eyeglasses.
It is supposed to get cold again 
.
That is the reason why we haven't been anywhere lately. Well I actually did go out quickly to pick up some ginger roots for Papa's tinolang manok that was so yummy by the way but I came home with a lot more. I told him that I missed eating babana cue and camote cue so I grabbed some when I was in Jewel today. We will cook it tomorrow. I also got a couple of bags of fresh peanuts that we can boil. Anyways, we are all so busy with moving the beds around and finally it is done. Today is the first day that Frankie is going to sleep alone on his very own bed. Well, not really alone because George will be with him. I stayed with him for a little bit and I left him after he fell asleep. So I don't know what it is going to be when he gets up and see that I am not there. I am sure that I will miss him but I am not that concern because Papa and him are sharing a bedroom for now until we moved the stuff from the second bedroom. Papa already knows what to do in case he cries. I asked him if it is ok and he is more than happy to do it for him. In fact he is happy that they are sharing a room. So we'll see. Hopefully he will get used to of sleeping on his bed. He is still a little small for it but this is the best time to start. I will post some pictures later.
I always enjoy working with my team mates. Janet or sometimes Angie brings food that we usually share during our break. We also like teasing each other like kids. Last Saturday we were not complete because some took a day off because of Valentine’s Day. Angie all of the sudden asked me if where I usually get my pair of eyeglasses. She is wearing one and she is due for another check up and a new pair. She said she has been hurting with money because of so many expenses and she doesn’t want to spend much for it. She wanted to find a deal so that she can start seeing straight without breaking bank. I knew about Zenni Optical already because I was thinking of buying a pair from them last year that I can wear around house. I immediately told her about Zenni Optical and how she can get prescription eyeglasses for only $8! In fact I told her to check out the New York Times because Zenni Optical in the New York Times?! Reading the article will help her understand about Zenni. I will ask her again on Tuesday if she checked it out. If she wants a good deal then Zenni Optical is the answer.
I got Ryan a new winter coat and a pair of Sketchers shoes for Valentines day. I was very excited because I have been planning to get it for him. He need a new winter coat really badly because the one he has on is starting to fall apart. Yes, it was that bad. He said he thinks he had been using it for 10 years. So on Valentines day morning before we left for bowling, I gave him his gifts. I was so excited but was later disappointed. I know Ryan very well and that includes what he likes and of course his size but I don't know what happened. Maybe I took care of him so much that he started growing? It is because the shoes and the winter coat that I got for him are all one size smaller. Well with the shoes I thought he was 10.5 but he is 11. I was so disappointed. He jokingly told me that I still owe him a Valentines present. So after bowling before going out for dinner, we went to Kohl's and find a bigger sized coat. Thankfully we still found one. Humm... he better stop growing soon .
I am currently working with this nice young lady that just graduated high school. We talk once in a while during our breaks and she told me that she can’t afford yet to go to a college. So I suggested to her why not try Beauty School. My hair dresser used to tell me how nice her job is and that she truly enjoys making a lot of people beautiful. Not to mention, the money is good too. When I see her again this Monday, I will definitely give her the Findabeautyschool.com link so that she can find beauty schools that are close to where she lives. She can start by adding her zip code and state to find the different beauty schools and hopefully can start with her own career.
We are supposed to go to the mall today to look around depending on what would Ryan feel when he gets off from work but if he is extremely tired I will just go ahead and go. My eyebrows too are getting so bushy and I can't find time to go. I have been wanting to go since 3 weeks ago but I am just extremely busy. The roads are still a little icy outside. It was so bad driving home last night from work but I managed. Ohh yeah it was so nice last night. We stayed there again for only until 12:30 a.m. even if we are missing one person. My managers were so pleased and so were we all. It gets really hard coming home at 3:00 a.m. before and had to get up with Frankie. At least this time we are coming out at a decent time and it surely makes a difference. I also came in early to go shopping. I am finally done with Ryan and I got Frankie a new hat and gloves and a top for Papa and Frankie. So all I need to do is start wrapping (yes, I haven't started). Every time I decide to do them I get more to write and that is what I do first. I should hopefully finish them before Tuesday.
One of the many worries I had when I was pregnant with Frankie, was if I would know what to do with him when he is sick. I never have to deal with any sick siblings I had because my mother was always there for us but when I had him and was sick for the first time, I guess as a mother you find ways to be able to help. I remember asking my mother about what to do at an early stage, search online and when nothing is improving call his pediatrician. One thing that I also find very helpful was going to Epocrates Online and searching what my son had. What I liked about Epocrates Online is they have the information laid out for you. I never knew what gout is about before until I found what it meant at Epocrates Online. They give you the basic information, diagnosis, treatment and more. But of course you still need to check out with physician but it is nice to know the basic information at the back of your head for possible remedies you can provide.
After that long night at work last week, we finally encountered the easiest night last Monday. Dan our supervisor is already on his vacation and I was in charge. It never happened to us before that we finish the putting up on the same night and we did. We were all so static that we were out of there at a little before midnight. Everybody was cheering me on because that was the first time ever we were out so early and it never happened at our supervisor's shift. 
I hope it will be the same night tonight but we still don't know if who are the people I will have. It would be really awesome.
I worked with his guy who loves playing online games and playing in an online casino. He is not only doing it for fun but also for also for money. I never knew you can actually make money out of these sites. See how naïve I am? I have always been afraid to try some online games. I have games that are pre-installed in my laptop and that is what I play every once in a while. But would you believe that everyone can learn and enjoy casino online games at the convenience of their home? Good thing I came across the best online casino with gambling tools, player resources, instructions, rules and strategies that you can learn to help you understand and play online. You can play blackjack, slots, roulette, baccarat and other games just like in a real casino. Another thing that I like about online-casinos.com is they give you the links of top casinos where you can pick and play online safely. It is also complete with reviews to help you decide which one to go for. It might be worth the try.
We are in a plane ticket drama these days with our Papa coming over from the Philippines. It could have been the most perfect time of the year because he can join us for Christmas but also the not so perfect time of the year because most of the flights were taken and also very pricey. We are all so excited and we couldn’t wait to unite Frankie with his grandpa. Although sometimes I couldn’t help but wonder what will keep him busy here while waiting for spring. You see, he will be helping us fix up our house. There is nothing major really just some upgrades and beautification in some rooms but since it is still winter he may have to wait till spring. I am glad that Ryan will soon put together the other computer we have so that he will have one to chat with the family back home. I just need to get him a web cam and he should be set.
I know that he enjoys surfing the net for current events but another thing he can do is also play in an online casino. He used to go out with his boss and play in a Casino when he was in Cebu so playing online will surely keep him busy. After all, I don’t want him to be homesick here.
I truly appreciate Ryan's efforts last night and I so give him a hug for showing that he cares. Well I mentioned in my other blog that it will be so hard for us to get Papa here before Christmas. I was a little sad but I truly understand. Ryan really wants him over here too that last night he searched the internet for plane tickets before Christmas. We found a lot that were around the price range for Papa and wanted to get it. We have heard and read reviews about e-ticketing and we wanted to take advantage of it. Unfortunately when we were trying to book online, the e-ticketing won't work for us because it was an international flight. He could have been here on Dec. 24 at 3:00 p.m. and will be with us for Christmas and see the rest of the family in Chicago. I wrote everything down so that he can give it to his travel agent but for some weird reasons they can't access or confirm the flight from their end. So we didn't have any choice but to stick with the previous plan. Papa said that there will be more Christmas and I know. I was just glad Ryan was so helpful and he really tried but failed. With the new ticket we can save more. Thank goodness!
Frankie loves playing with his glasses after he is done eating and drinking. He usually leave a little bit of water from one glass then he likes transferring it from one glass to the other. As you can see, he doesn't have the cover of his high chair. I had to take it off and washed it because it was getting filthy. I am glad it was ok with the washer and drier. It looks like a plastic thingy for me that was why I was hesitant to dry it in the drier. I just let him be most of the time because it is a good practice with his coordination. Dako na jud among bata.
