This is only one of the many condominium buildings in town.

This is somewhat where most of the local business offices are located,

Here’s our bank where the boys enjoy going with me doing some business,  specially  if we go in the morning because they have free cookies

One of the many Italian Restaurant in town,although they are open but usually the outside is full pack during Spring & Summer.

It is really a nice place and great neighborhood.  I wish we can stay here but moving is a part of life. We have to go where the work is.  Husband and I agreed that in the near future,if we decided and ready to buy a property, we still prefer this place to settle down. Although for now, I’m excited for the boys to experience a cit living.  I live in Manila all my life and I think it help me to learn so much.  I want them to see and experience the real thing. Not like living in a sub-urb is bad thing but at least the city life will give them the idea of what it means to live in a fast lane. .

God is truly a Great Provider.  He knew all the time what and when we need it the most.

Shuffle is a Facebook application where you can choose whatever you want to put as your status update Here’s few of my favorite although I never use them yet, maybe in the future.

• Life is to short! Kiss slowly, Love Deeply & forgive quickly. Forget the past, but remember what it taught you.

• Enjoy life because no-one is guaranteed another day.
• Just keep trying and remember, Professionals built the Titanic, and Amateurs built the Ark. (and I bet everybody know what boat sank   )
• The ones throwing stones always seem to be the ones whom stones should be thrown at.
• No one can attract happiness into their lives if they think they don’t deserve it…Truly love yourself, and everything else will fall into place.
• Life can be complicated, but…happiness is really pretty simple.
• Anything that has worth isn’t easy to get, If it’s easy to get it’s worthless.
• God doesn’t give you the people you want in your life, you’re given the ones you need so you can become the person you want to be.
• Karma is like a boomerang, it doesn’t matter how hard you throw it, it still gonna come back and hit you.
• Life is too short to not pursue your dreams. Someday your life will near its end and all you will be able to do is look backwards. Live the Dream!
• A weak minded person will sink to the level of those that try to bring them down and reciprocate bad behavior; a stronger person can smile in their face.
• If someones being horrible to you.. they are obviously not worth bothering about… let them say what they want don’t retaliate because it will bother them more.
• Fairy tales may not be true and happy endings might not exist but why look for the fantasy when reality could be anything you want if you take the chance.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

We had a warm weather today  .  It was in the lower 50’s and it’s getting warmer and warmer each day. I even went to the grocery store walking.  It was a very lovely day. I was thinking of taking the boys to the playground  this afternoon too to enjoy our first warm weather for a long time but since the snow is just melting, I know it is still muddy. I’ll wait for a couple of days, maybe then we can start going there again, boys will be delighted. They also have a one week Spring break  which I think is great.  A good break from being home all winter

Our pastor gave us (me and other church staff) a GO about creating a website for the church.  I’m so excited, I can’t wait to start.  It’s not really a website, more like a blog,so I can put an update each week from his message for those who wasn’t able to attend the service so they can check it out.  I’m not the only one who will administer the blog, there’s gonna be help from the other church senior member ,I’m only in-charge technically, but  all the contents will need our Pastors’ approval.  I’m pretty much excited because finally,I can use my knowledge in God’s service, that’s all I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, to be used in God’s glory.Thank  God for this wonderful and very humbling opportunity.

Husband already started packing some of our stuff little by little and started cleaning as well.  We already informed our landlord about our moving and he gave us no problem about it.

I have a two 300 words assignment to write but I have no plans of doing it. I will just let it expire in my dashboard.  The reason why I have no interest of writing it because of the price.  The advertiser is only willing to pay $2.50 for each article and I was like, What  I have no problem doing it if it is only 200 words, I mean, why not? but some advertisers are just so darn greedy and they will keep doing it as long as they can get away. I’m not that desperate especially if I have PayU2Blog to rely on who always pay decently and always on time.

It was in a nice packaged actually but because I’m uber excited (read: Super Atat! ) I immediately ripped it off. Then I asked hubby, who woke up because I’m noisy,if he can take a picture of me sporting my attire;

I know, it looks like sunny because it is, although it is still cold, as of this writing we are in 32 degress Farenheit.   I want him to take a picture downstairs because there’s still a snow in the ground and that will complete the set-up ,but he refused because he HATES ME! .  So anyway,  just to get it done and get it over with,I said, ok.By the way, I’m only the model wannabe, here’s the real model from the website

My all-time favorite music performer have an upcoming concert at Ceasar’s Windsor and I’m so dying to watch them. They are my favorite (I know I already said that   ) since I was a kid. I’m not really a concert animal, back in the Philippines, I think I’ve seen only a very few concert just because the tickets are free. Most of the time, the company that I worked for sponsored a few big concert and we always get a complimentry pass. Unfortunately with this one, I have no single idea where can I get it for FREE ,although I’m willing to pay as well but  with so many things going on right now, especially in our financial budget, I can’t afford to snagged a few bucks for the ticket, plus of course we need someone to watch the boys, which I think will be easy to find a solution than for the ticket.So anyway, since I won’t be able to watch the concert,I guess I’ll just settle myself listening to their CD.

• copying content from other sources and placing it on their blog for our assignments,- this one is definitely a no-no to me because I don’t want other bloggers to do the same, to earn money from my hard work, that is so unfair. I’m not so into plagiarism or copy right or whatsoever, but I’m simply following the golden rules, “Do Not Do Unto Others What You Do Not Want Them To Do Unto You”.
• placing the assignment link at the end separate from the content of the post – This is not really hard to do because each assignment only required at least 60 words, with so many things that’s been going on in our life everyday, seriously, I can relate to everything.
• doing links for any porn, gambling or other business that clients would find objectionable - I try to do this before with other blogging company (gambling opps) ,I was not even with PU2B then, but for some reason, the system keep rejecting my post and I don’t understand why, I tried to re-read and re submitting it plenty of times until I reach the deadline date but still the system is acting up,so I decide there are some “intervention” going on in my blog,maybe because I have the bible verse of the day and the post is contradicting my belief,I decided since then I’m not gonna accept any opps like that, ever!
• is found to be removing old assignment links from their blog.- I don’t have to because all assignment is related to my life. This is my blog,my online diary of some sort and I want to re read my old entries from time to time.

I don’t understand why other bloggers have to “cheat” on their “job”.  I mean, it’s not like this is the hardest job ever, it’s actually the opposite, and to quote what’s on the bible;

Luke 16:10
He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.

and if you want more opps from them, read this too;

Proverbs 13:11
Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles, but the one who gathers by labor increases it.

I don’t know if you believed in God,because I do. I also believed in karma. For those who want to write for PU2B, you might want to keep this rules in mind, because it will help you in the future once they approve your blog.
