Learning Some Electrical Repairs

DH’s day off last Thursday was a good day for all of us aside from celebrating his birthday one day earlier. He has managed to repair some of our appliances which have malfunctioned after the flood has submerged our house up to neck-deep water. He has helped Ruth in making her electrical project in school which was not so easy with grade school students. DH has no knowledge of any electrical repairs but managed to follow directions from DIY guide and after more than an hour he has repaired two electric fans and our washing machine. He just asked me for some clamps to help him fasten some small objects because they keep on moving and getting out of place. I noticed that he’s happy doing those works and I told him he can study some short course if he wants to learn more.

:Food Friday - Hubby's Birthday Food!

Today is dear husband's birthday and these are his birthday foods. We celebrated it in advance yesterday as he filed a leave of absence yesterday for a one-day vacation rest in Tagaytay. We didn't go on with the plan of going to highlands of Tagaytay but we spent the day together in the house and decided to cook and celebrate his birthday yesterday. We went to the mall in the morning with Josh as he's on an early morning school schedule and bought some food and electrical supplies for the house.

Later in the afternoon I cooked pasta and chicken, made some delightful fruit salad and ordered cake. My girls were surprised at the advance celebration when they arrived but were happy with it. They were expecting that we're still in Tagaytay. Well everything happens on purpose, maybe on our next plan my young girls will have no exams and they will able to come with us.

Happy Food Friday to all, see other yummy foods here!

Family Vacation This Month

Since I had a bad fall last month I’m not the usual me in everything that I do. I’m weaker now and having my energy lasting for some hours only. I used to be a very energetic person and I do my chores super fast that my family would always call me super mom. Now I feel slightly bad that I can’t do things the way I can previously that I’m planning to have a vacation sometime this month or next month. Since I can’t have it on my own as I also want my kids and hubby with me I’m planning a weekend family vacation so they can come without affecting their school activities and hubby’s work. I know with proper sleep, rest and relaxation I can bring back my body’s health back to its normal condition.

If only we have more funds for our vacation I would also love a vacation somewhere along the beach resorts like in Karisma Resorts where they offer family vacation packages including good gourmet foods, luxury accommodations, entertainment, sports and the beautiful scenic view of the sea from where you’re staying in. Beautiful isn’t it? Well it’s not an impossible thing, who knows!

Make Some Changes

Are you in a rut? Bored? Well how can we solve that? Here are some simple tips for you. Make some changes in your life. Change your schedule. Take a little vacation, somewhere quiet and far from your home and work even if it's just for the weekend. If you’re bored with your job and you think you can easily adjust with a new job then transfer to a new one. I’ve already did that last year when I feel like I’m bored with what I’m doing everyday of my work life.

I told myself that it’s not the career that I want for myself so better get out of it. I resigned and concentrate on my family while earning some bucks from online job. Now I’m a happier Mom, wife and I have more quality time for my family. Just small changes can jar you loose from the old rut and spark a new interest in your life. So it’s up to you what small changes are you willing to take just to have an exciting life again. Remember that boredom can sometimes bring you to some depression so get out of it.

Sophisticated Volvo

From what I can remember almost all men I know likes car. I came to know this since I was a child with my father’s flair for nice cars which I also saw in my brother, cousin and now my husband. Men like cars since they’re little boys and you can see it through their cute little toy cars and miniature model cars. My brother has started with a pickup to use for his new construction business then he shifted to a car for a more professional look and now he has a four-wheel drive car that he used for monitoring all his residential projects. His love for cars is not only a whim as its also useful to him; it’s actually a necessity for many of us.

There are also some people who just want to collect cars as their hobby and we know these are the well to do people who can afford to buy expensive cars on their whim only. For those people who don’t really mind investing on cars they look for elegance, performance and style they want in a car and they can find it in the new 2010 volvo C30, with the usual style of a two-door hatchback of the S40 sedan and V50 wagon.

For those who loves sophisticated look inside and out this is the car for them as it boasts of a good interior design incomparable with other cars. With its improved racier shape you could be traveling around town in elegance and sophisticated style. It’s called the wild child of the Volvo family. It’s not what you can call a sports car but it has a good performance.

RT/WW : Sleeping Princess

Eyes half-closedEyes fully closed (sound asleep)

No she's not a princess but her name is. Just love this cute sleeping photo of our dear Princess when she was just 2 months old with her Mom holding her. It's actually her first photo shoot when after some clicks and shots she suddenly yawned and sleep while taking her pictures. I found her cute while sleeping so I didn't stopped. She's my first cousin's granddaughter so I'm her granny also (young granny of course lol).
