Scouting for Baptism Invitation for Zack

I was browsing the internet this morning about christening invitation for my baby Zack when I came across this cute baby shower invites. I know it’s too late for me to have a baby shower but I intend to copy this design for Zack’s baptism this July.

What do you think?

I was also checking out some Checkerboard invites but I haven’t seen any christening invitations yet. Hopefully, I could find something for baby Zack’s as early as now so that I can order it online and have it as early as possible. Can’t blame me for being an over excited mom! :)

Flattening my Tummy After Pregnancy

Before I finish my search about door kick plates, I would like to update you guys about my recovery. Today is my 5th day of recovery after giving birth to my second baby boy Zack.

And because of that, other than healing some delivery wounds, I’m currently on the process of flattening my tummy. I had searched the internet about some tips and ways to trim down my bulging tummy. Fortunately, I found a lot of articles that could help me like the right exercise, right food to eat and one of them is a cream to help trim down the fats. There was also one article about the usage of girdles for total flattening of the stomach and that I might try in a few days. Will update you about it in the following days :)


Time for a Total Makeover

My nine months of being pregnant is finally over. Which means it’s time for me for a TOTAL MAKEOVER! Lol!

I got a feeling that after a year or so I will miss the feeling of having a little baby inside my tummy. But of course, I don’t have any plans of getting pregnant soon for I have to adjust myself emotionally, financially and physically.

Speaking of adjusting my physical self, I really have a lot to change in terms of my overall appearance. One of them is my skin. Since I become pregnant my skin change in terms of elasticity and its color. I also developed lots of blackheads especially around my nose. I asked my OB about it and she said that the changes are all caused by the hormones during pregnancy and it will soon disappear as soon as I give birth.

Quite amazingly, after days of giving birth, most of my dark spots are slowly lightening and in terms of my blackheads they are still there and I think I would need a blackhead remover to totally eliminate them. Well, I will definitely buy a medication for that after all my wounds are healed and finally recover from my delivery.

My Baby Zackeri John

Hi guys! Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm still on a recovery period from a normal delivery last Monday. Well, I think some of you knew that I just gave birth to my second baby Zackeri John last May 23, 2011. And with that let me show you some photos of my little one. :)




" Baby Zack @ 2 days old "

He’s a little bit heavy than his “Kuya Aj” when he was born and I giving birth to him was more “breezy” than my first delivery. Well, maybe because of the fact that Aj was my first born and every first can be very painful most of the times especially in terms of being pregnant and delivering a baby. :)

Anyways, I will posts more of my delivery experience of my mommy blog and some more photos of cutie Zack after I totally recover. :)

Creative Photo Effects Online

I’m currently in search for fun photo effects online that I can use to customized my old photos and post them on my blogs or at my social networking account. As some of you don’t know I love doing creative stuffs on my personal photos especially that of my families and friends. I remember when I was younger; I usually create funny pictures of my friends and send them thru their email or print them on a photo paper as a remembrance from me or a gift to them. Quite surprisingly, I never failed to amuse them with my creative skills. Lol!

That’s why today, I thought of enhancing my effects for photos by checking out some exciting websites like Picjoke.com that offers great photo effects every day. Yup! You heard it right. You can create great photo effects in less than a minute thru their easy to use interface. And that’s what I’m currently doing right now. It’s really nice to know that you could teach a lot from the internet nowadays especially on photo editing and effects like this one. I just in the days to come, there would be more exciting templates, effects and styles that I could use in my future projects.

Another Journey Ends and Another Begins :)

I’m DONE!

What do I mean about that? Well, I’m done with my pregnancy because I just gave birth to a healthy baby boy last night and now I’m home updating my blogs! Lol! I’m so blessed and thankful that the Lord has given me so much strength to overcome the pain of labor! Urgh! I swear labor pains were the most horrible pain I’ve ever experience in my entire life. But of course, each pain corresponds to more happiness in life and that is my baby. Oh well, I really have to rest now and revitalize myself from my delivery but before I do that I need to submit the article I wrote two days ago about Texas truck accident lawyer to my client then I’m done with it. :)

Topamax Birth Defects

A friend of mine is currently seeking my help. She was looking for a lawyer that could represent her in court for a complaint she just filed to her personal doctor. You see, she blames her doctor for prescribing her a pill called Topamax that is said to cause some birth defect to babies. She’s currently 8 months pregnant and has never stopped worrying about the welfare of her unborn child because of this incident. She never thought that her doctor would give her a harmful medication that can cause a lifelong burden to her and to her baby.

Fortunately, my husband has a friend that works as an Austin personal injury attorney and is quite an expert on this kind of dilemma. I gave her this address O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949 and hopefully he can help her thru her problems.

Counting the Days

Only a few days to go and I will be giving birth to our second baby boy. Whew! Everything seems to be passing by too fast that it was almost yesterday when I had my pregnancy test. Now, I’m about to see our second blessing and will plan his most awaited baptism afterwards.


We plan to celebrate his baptism on the same date as my birthday which is on July 16. I bet by then we have enough money for grand celebration. Yup! We intend to make it a grand party for it’s a triple celebration us – first it’s my birthday, then my baby’s baptism and lastly it’s our town fiesta. I bet my baby will received lots of baby gifts from his god parents and relatives (I hope). I really have a huge feeling that we will have a lot of visitors by then. :)

Garter Belts for Jane's Bridal Shower

After 10 years of being a couple my best friend Jane has finally decided to tie the knot with her long time boyfriend Zed. They have been loving each other for so long that it’s amazing that they still long for being together forever. Anyways, I’m a bit excited on Jane’s upcoming shower party this week. Why? Because I totally love the garter belts I bought for her. Lol! Yup! I bought her a pair of garter belts that I wanted her to wear on their much awaited honeymoon after the wedding. Lol!

I’m so excited! :)

Brandy Glasses, Candle Holders and more

Thank God it’s Friday once again! Before I check out this Lolita glasses that I saw online let me tell you about some facts about my life when I was younger.

Friday was used to be one of my favorite days of the week. Why? Well, because it is the last day of school and the last day of work for most of us. But apparently, it became Saturday because my working days suddenly shifted and was extended one day (which was the fault of my former boss).

Anyways, I’m just on the reminiscing mode again and I can help but reminisce the past with my friends. I remember that every Saturday my co workers and some of my friends go out after work for some bonding session. I remember that we usually go to a bar and have a little drink. We usually have this special bar that we would go every Saturday and because the management of the said establishment was happy to see us every week, they decided to give each and one of us a treat. And you know what it is? They gave us brandy glasses that are especially made and use by us. Yup! They were so kind and we couldn’t thank them enough especially when they gave us customized candle holders for their first anniversary. Aren’t they the most thoughtful bar owner around? I think, you wouldn’t see anything like that in other places. Well, we’re lucky enough to find one.

Oh well, those were the days when I have nothing to do but go out and drink. Lol! But of course, today is a different thing. I am already a mom and a wife and going out every week is not a good thing to do, especially now that I’m pregnant. But when I’m thru with my delivery and I was able to adjust with my new baby, maybe a night or so wouldn’t hurt especially if my husband is with me, right? Hmm.. we’ll see. :)

Residential Garage Door for Mike

I was doing some of my household chores a while ago when my brother Mike called me. I think some of you remember him as my brother who just had a newly construction house last month. His house was a total dream before but now he already has it! I’m so proud of my brother for achieving this kind of goal. I myself haven’t succeeded yet on that one but I know in my heart I will soon have my dream house as well. In God’s time..

He called just to tell me that he needs a garage door. You see, since his house was new, his garage was the last priority to be constructed and it was only a week ago when they finally finished its construction. And because the whole building is already finish, we thought that it’s time for us to canvass a residential garage door for it. Of course, every opening needs to be closed just for the house to be totally secure. Even though his car hasn’t arrived yet, it is a must that he should prepare before it arrives, right? Or else he might get robbed or might get car napped! Lol! With that, I will go offline for a while and attend my brother’s needs. :)


Stop Debt Collector's Harrasment

My friend Justin called me yesterday and he was asking me if I know somebody who can help him in his financial problems. You see since the day he got bad credits and stopped paying his debts many collectors has been bugging him to pay immediately. Unfortunately, some of them were a real pain in the neck because of their never ending harassment.

So just to stop debt collectors harassment, he is willing to consult a financial expert that would help him settle his debts. Also, he also wants to file a complain against those debt collectors that has been very harsh on him and has been bugging him even late in the evening.

Yes, there was one instance where he was about to take his dinner when suddenly his phone rings. He answered it thinking it was his fiancee calling. Upon saying the word “hello” the man at end of the line told him to pay immediately or else he will be sued. He was so pissed off that he threw his phone on the wall. Well, that’s a real headache and I might do the same thing if that happens to me.

Anyways, we were fortunate enough to contact another friend who is working at a firm that offers legal services for debt collectors harassment. We will talk to him tomorrow and hopefully get a good advice from him.

KQC Flat Irons

I was checking out some cool stuff in the internet when I accidentally stumbled upon this kqc flat iron.


This is KQC’s one of the best flat irons so far. It has a 1 inch size in width and weights about 1 pound. It works well in a power outage of 410 degrees Fahrenheit. This usually costs about $249.95 but because they are on sale you can now grab this flat iron at only $159.95! Plus you can grab its free shipping deals when you buy now on their online store.

And because of that I myself is excited to buy and own one soon! As I said on my previous posts I’m really planning to devote my time after giving birth to my second child a total makeover of myself specifically my hair. Unfortunately, my hair went out of control from the time I got pregnant and cannot do anything about it like putting something on it or submit it for a treatment because the chemicals and the heat of the hair tools might have bad effects on my unborn child. That’s why my target date for the makeover is July ( a month after I dellver and coincidentally my birth month). I just hope by that time I am fully recovered and all my hair tools has arrived on my doorsteps so I can get started.

Anyways, besides me I might ask my friend Rodel who owns a beauty salon in our place to check on these heavy duty flat irons. You see, he has been complaining about the flat and curling irons he purchased from a local store and it only took him 3 months to use them properly. It was too late when he discovered that he made a major mistake on purchasing cheaper units. Tough luck huh?

Cooking Classes in Los Angeles

Does anyone of you know where I can look for some cooking classes in Los Angeles? Well, it is not actually for me, it’s for my cousin Jesse who is planning to enroll herself in a cooking class as a preparation for her new food business.

It was always her dream to established her own business and be the best cook at the same time. But apparently, she was unfortunate not to be a good cook herself. So to boo the bad vibes of bad cooking, she decided the she needs some professional help from professional chefs. She also wants to experience what the experts did when they were still starting by talking to them and becoming their friend. And that’s why she really needs to locate cooking classes LA in no time. Actually, if time and budget permits I might enroll myself too to a cooking class. I’m 30 years old and sadly I still don’t cook well! Lol! Ironically, I don’t know if some you know my dad is a chef in a prestigious restaurant here in our place. But unfortunately, none of his children got his genes of being a great chef. You see, my dad started cooking when he started working as a waiter in a small restaurant. He was just 20 years old then but because he really loves to learn new things, he tried practicing the art of cooking by just looking at the cooks and asking them how they cook. So it only means that he learned how to cook by being a keen observer and by practicing. That was before, today is a different era and one really needs to enroll on a good cooking school to really compete with other chefs.

Anyways, if anyone of you know someone or where to find one kindly give me a buzz. My friend desperately needs it. Thank you very much.



Dreaming to be Best Wedding Photographer

Since I was young, I’ve always wanted to become a photographer like the San Luis Obispo wedding photographers I’ve search online. Their works were really stunning, creative and one of a kind. Just by looking at their works you can already feel the emotions within the photograph.

That’s why it inspired me to buy a new dslr for my own photography practice. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough funds as of this moment to enroll myself in a photography class that’s why I usually rely on the internet especially on San Luis Obispo wedding photography blog for some tips and information about how to capture those precious moments.

Did anyone of you here seen the blog I’m talking about? Well, if you really love photography and wants to know more about it check the website now and see what I’m talking about. As a backgrounder the blog I’m talking about is owned by a renowned San Luis Obispo wedding photographer Jonathan Roberts. He has been in the photography industry for so long now that he has established a name and business for his life long hobby. He has shot almost 250 wedding photo coverages and each of them were a work of art. The reason I admire this guy is that his photographs are full of emotions in it. Not to mention the lively colors and stunning angles that each photos consist. He is truly very artistic and talented. It’s like every single shot are captured by his heart which is the way the photographers should do in every photo shoot. It’s like thru the photos the emotions of the newly weds are transferred thru the photo paper and are binded forever in the album. That’s the why I wanted my photography to be which I hope I will succeed in the future.

Just Can' Get Enough

I was browsing the internet this evening about the best muscle building supplement for my brother Mike when I accidentally stumbled upon a file in our laptop. I saw this wacky photo of my son Aj and I can’t help but post it here.

Take a look!


Isn’t he the cutest and the wackiest preschool ever? Lol!

I just can’t get enough of his personality for he is definitely a one of a kind lad. Thank God he gave me a son like him and hopefully our baby Zack is just as cute and as charming as his big brother. :)


Zumba Lessons and Games

Yesterday, my husband and I thought of visiting my cousin Leigh. Her house was actually a few blocks away from ours so we just had a brisk walk just to get there. We opted to that as well for me to have a little preggo exercise. Upon arriving at her house, we noticed that there was a loud music playing inside her house. We knocked and saw that she was having her weekly zumba lessons with her dance and fitness instructor.

Yup! She hired an instructor for her to get slim and be fit. Well, as for me there’s nothing wrong about that for as long as you crave for good health and long life, right? Which reminded me about a psp 3 game called Zumba Fitness that I love to play every now and then. It’s like Leigh was the one in my game playing as me. Lol!

Hoping for the Best

A friend of mine filled a Topamax birthdefect lawsuit to her Ob Gyne last week. Why you might ask? Well, unfortunately she was one of the few victims of a wrong prescription. You see her obstetrician has wrongly prescribed her with Topamax while pregnant. She said that her doctor gave her the medicine for her migraine attacks. But the doctor has slipped her thoughts and didn’t consider the effect of Topamax to an unborn child.

It was then too late when the effects of the medicines took place. My friend’s poor baby has an underdeveloped lip and needs to be treated with surgery immediately. The poor baby is set to be admitted on Friday for a correction surgery and hopefully everything will turn out fine. But of course, my friend needs to fight and collect damages for what happen. Hopefully, both of them will win the fight.


Surf Shop Directory Online

My friend Jo loves the beach and he consider it has heaven whenever he sees the blue waters. One of his most loved hobby is surfing. I think he considers it today as his most love sports and he would definitely die for it if it takes that far for him just to surf thru the waves. It has always been his dream to be the best surfer in town but because of financial constraint he can’t even purchased his own surf board for him to practice.


But because of his determination and enthusiasm he tried working in a local restaurant and luckily earned and saved money to buy him a surf board. Now, weekends are usually his fun time on the beach where he plays with the high waves of the sea. He’s doing great now with the sport and he might join a surfing competition in a couple of months. But of course, before he do that he needs to spend more money for some of his surfing accessories and that is where he needed my help. He’s currently asking me to help him find a surf shop directory where he can shop whenever he needs to. Well, fortunately for me I have the internet to aid us. :)

The Best Flat Irons, Hair Dryers and Curlers Online

Are you looking for the best curling irons online? Well, you better read this post a little further for this might end your search. I’ve recently discovered an online store where thy offer not only hair irons but also the best hair dryers in the online market. Flatironexperts.com is the website I’m talking about. Flat Iron Experts is an online beauty store that offers the best hair beauty tools and best hair care for every woman needs. They also make reviews about flat irons and hair straighteners that tend to help their consumer about what hair tool they will buy.


My friend Vivian recommended me the site when I asked her where I can buy the best flat iron that would last a lifetime. Fortunately, she was right. As of this date, the flat iron I purchased from them is still in excellent condition. Unlike the ones I’ve purchase before on a nearby beauty store which only lasted about two weeks only! Urgh! Just imagine the money I need to save and spent just to purchase it. I really felt terrible and devastated when that happened. It’s like my interest on hair beauty tools suddenly disappeared out of disappointment. But now, my cravings are back because of Flat Iron Experts.:)

Business Card with Photo Printing

My friend Kaye is set to build a new business this month. She plans on opening a photography studio where she can practice her photography skills that she had since she was younger. You see, it has always been her dream to be a professional photographer and she definitely wants to study digital photography. But because of financial constraint that dream should have to wait.

After years of working in the corporate world, she finally had the funds to finally study photography. And after 2 years of studying and a year of practice she has finally had the guts to do it on her own. She practices the skill thru the help of other professionals by assisting them on their big gigs. But now, she wanted to make it out of her own.

I’m really proud and very thankful that finally she was able to have the confidence to do so. That’s why as a friend I am always there to support her all the way especially in establishing her dream business. Currently, I volunteered to finance her business card and I will do everything from the design to printing. Fortunately, I found this website that made my task a lot easier. :)

Oh my! I can’t believe it’s May already and that only means that in only 10 days we will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary! Wow! I still can’t believe that we had made this far. :) Hmm..

Lol! Anyways, I’ll have to check on our budget first before ordering a pair. Wish me luck! :)
