Perfection is a Long Process...

As we all know, nobody is perfect in this world. Everyone commit mistakes and deserve a second chance. We cannot judge people or someone with one mistake she/he made be it intentional or by accident. We knew ourselves better that others, so before we judge someone, we should look at ourselves first and study whether we haven't done something wrong or not. More or less you will find yourself guilty of something. I, for one is not perfect; everyday I am trying not to offend God and fellowmen in everything I do, be it big or small, in words or in deeds. It is not easy because we are only human, capable of committing sin or mistake. The only One who is capable of judging is Jesus, whom we know is the Only Perfect Person who has ever walked on this very earth. I am a firm believer of "The more you know yourself, the less you criticize or judge others". It is my hope and prayer that we ponder this saying and strive to perfect ourselves line upon line precept upon precept and one step at a time. And through Jesus "Atonement", everything is possible. For He Himself has said: "Be ye therefore is perfect, even as our Father (God) who is in heaven is perfect".

Father and Son's Night Out!

It is father and son night out today, so hubby and son went to see Star Wars at movie theater today. They want me to join them but I decided to stay home watch T.V., blog and grab opps. I am glad they went without me. Oh by the way, we sold our car today, yehey! I hope when we get to Texas, we will be able to find the truck we both like. We need at least two cars if we will both go to work. I think I need to work for at least a year before going back to school. I need to be a Texas resident for at least one year before I can go back to college or else I will pay out of state college tuition which is more than we can afford. I think I can wait.

Will Miss Our Car...

Five more days and we are off to Texas. I am still here busy packing things up; good thing that I still managed to grab opps. I am now trying to get some job done here by visiting and a little blog hopping before my hubby gets back from Petersburg where he will meet one of those buyers who wanted to buy our car (Honda Element). Yup, we are trying to sell one of our car and replace it with a truck. I cannot believe it! I started missing the car already. Jacob didn't want us to sell it first, but now I am the one who wouldn't want to sell it. We only have this car for a year; it isn't that nice looking car, but it is roomy and that is what I like about it. Oh well, I am sure I'll get over this feeling. Got to go now, ned to visit your blogs, guys! Oh by the way, we will be on the road to Texas on Monday. Texas, here we come...Yeeehaaahhh!

I Love This Poem!

The Spirit is My Friend
by: Jill Tew

When I feel the Holy Ghost, I feel good inside.
I want to do what Jesus did and always choose the right.
The Spirit helps me know what I should and shouldn't do,
And can help me understand that the Book of Mormon is true.
The Holy Ghost can comfort me when I am feeling sad,
And when I feel the peace He brings, it helps me to feel glad.
I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ His Son.
The Holy Ghost can help me to obey and follow Them.

Busy even on Memorial Day...

We planned of going to Virginia Beach today, but we decided to stay home since my brother in law and his son were here. We just went to went to the playground played with the kids, then to Bass Pro shop, and lunch at McDonalds. It was still a nice Memorial Day celebration especially for the Jacob and Cody since this will be the second to the last day they'd spend time together because next week, we will be on our way to Texas. They will be here this weekend to help us out a little bit with loading of stuffs in the truck and of course, time with us. Looking forward to seeing Tara and Grant, too! I have to sign off for now; need to do more packing and maybe go to the swimming pool later after taking a nap.

Sorry guys, for not being able to visit you, been busy and will be probably busy for the next two weeks or so; but will try to drop EC and messages if time permits me. Have a nice Memorial Day, everyone! And thanks for stopping by!

Going to Virginia Beach is scheduled on Wednesday just to drop the Balikbayan boxes at Forex; no swimming on the beach this time...maybe just a little walk and a nice lunch at Filipino resto.

Gifts from my Men....

My hubby and son are so sweet to give me my mother's day gift. And here they are...

Good News...

I just want to share with you friends our happiness because finally, Matt got a job from T.I. (Texas Instruments), where used to work before we moved here in Virginia. I Knew all along that we will be able to get a job again, and the bonus is it in Texas! What a blessing God has given us! He always watches over us and knows when is the best time to give the blessings he promised us. It was funny because I really want us to move, but I feel like it is unfair that even though we have the means to pay a mortgage, because we have no job, we are being denied if buying a house. Anyway, the wait it is over now. And we are all excited to move. The thing is, T.I. wants Matt to be there in two weeks. How in the world we will going to move ourselves and stuffs for that short period of time? We want to sell some of the furniture or if not possible, donate them to salvation army. Oh boy, today is the beginning of my busy days packing stuffs and dropping things we no longer need at Goodwill. To all those who prayed for us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Blockbuster is Simply the Best!

One of my family's favorite pastime is to watch movie. My husband and I used to go to a movie house at least twice a month. But when our son was born, our movie date stopped. And we haven't been to a movie house for nearly three years. Good thing there is a way we can watch movie and that is through renting a movie in one of the kiosk in the grocery stores. But the problem is, the movie is only good for one day. So once we got from the vending machine, we need to watch it right away. There were times that we forgot that it is already due. We were charged for returning it late. We got no choice but pay the late fee. Good thing there is a BLOCKBUSTER movie rental where we can rent a movie online, then return it conveniently by mailing them or return it at the participating Blockbuster store without fee or at a discounted movie rentals. Absolutely free of charge when it was returned late. I like that there is no extra fee on Blue Ray movie that is rented online. Renting movie is never been easier with their online way of choosing the movie you want to watch. You just add the movies on the que they will delivered it to you by mail within 1-2 business day. Isn't it great? You would love the special offer they give to the members where you will receive emails for exclusive deals and even discounts that you can use in store or online. Pretty good deal, I think. We will definitely switch to Blockbuster once we get settled in our new place soon.

Real Property Management

When my husband lost his job a year and a half ago in Texas, we didn't plan to sell our house. It never even crossed in our minds that we will have to move. We did extensive renovation because we thought we would retire there. So, when he got a job offer, we were turned into selling it or have it rented. We have a neighbor who offered to manage it for us while we are away, but it would be very hard for us. Anyway, if you own a house, apartment complex or any residential place, and tired of managing it yourself, why not check RPMMidwest.com; they do Real Property Management all over the country. With their well-trained professional managers, you can be sure that your property/ties will be taken care of or well maintained. And you don't have to worry wherever you maybe.

My Mother's Day Celebration Yesterday...

Our Mother's Day celebration was done yesterday when we went to Outer Banks, North Carolina. It was my hubby's treat for me. He took me at a Sea food Restaurant there for lunch where I ordered Grilled Bluefish with Fruit Salsa and Seasoned Rice. Today, we will be going to church and have a long nap in the afternoon...that for me is a celebration.

Another Busy Day!

Tonight is the last night of our stay here in Barclay Towers. We were busy today as usual. We have done our routine activities everyday like walking early in the morning by the seashore, breakfast, swimming on the beach, and on the inside pool afterwards. We also went for a bike ride like we did yesterday, have eaten our lunch in and dinner out. We really took advantage of swimming on the beach that is why we didn't go to any of the museums here as well as Dolphin watching and visit to aquarium. We have ended our day by eating at a Sea foods Restaurant. We really have had a blast with our spring/summer vacation this year. And I thanked God for this wonderful opportunity to bond as family.

Create a Cleaner, Healthier Home

I got these tips from Lowe's , just thought of sahring it with you, guys :-)!

Use these tips as a starting point to clear the air, purify the water and clean the surfaces in your home:

Clean Air Tip: Understanding Air Purifiers
Even if you've taken the proper steps to keep your air
clean – changing HVAC filters, vacuuming regularly or using Febreze^® Fabric Refresher™ – you may still want the extra insurance of an air purifier, especially when living with individuals that have respiratory problems.

There are two basic kinds of air purifiers: tabletop and whole room units. Tabletop units are less expensive and can be toted to rooms as needed. Whole room units have larger filters and collecting plates and, therefore, do a better job of cleaning the air.

Clean Water Tip: Water Filter Options
The popularity of bottled water over the past several years is a clear indication that people are more than aware of the impurities that can be found in tap water. But improving the drinking water in your home is really as easy as installing a water filter. And today you have more choices than ever before.

Clean Surfaces Tip: Countertop Tips
You know that towel you just used to wipe off your countertop? It might have done more harm than good. Towels and sponges, when not taken care of properly, can actually spread germs around. This is especially dangerous when cleaning up after raw meats, which can lead to cross-contamination.

Your best strategy for keeping countertops and other kitchen surfaces clean is two-fold: first, wipe away any visible messes.

Together, Home Made Simple and Lowe’s provide you with simple solutions for easy living in a cleaner, healthier home. This is just a sampling of all the tips, projects and products Lowe’s has to offer to help you make your healthy home a reality. For more great solutions visit Lowe’s Healthy Home.

*All food preparation surfaces need to be rinsed off before placing food on surface.

Just for YOU, Mother

A week from now, Mother's Day is here. And I would like to Thank my mother for everything she has done for me and the things that she still do for me and my siblings. She was an example of patient, long suffering, unconditional love and selfless person. With that, I am and will forever be grateful for her. I also thank God, the Father for blessing me with such a Great Mom.

I love you, Inang (mother) for the good exapmles you have shown us. I wouldn't be where and who I am (mother and person) right now if it wasn't from you.

...to the Best Mom ever, My Inang!

"Motherhood" which I think should be our main focus as of this time. "Motherhood is near to divinity." It is the highest and holliest calling. It is next to the angels. This divine service of motherhood can be rendered only by mothers. It may not passed to others. Mothers are to conceive, bear, nourish, love and train. They are to be helpmates, and are to counsel with their husbands.
