It’s September already and two months after, it’s going to be December. I want to have an Orlando vacation with my family. Walt Disney World, Sea World or Universal Studio would be fine. I would not complain much if I can have a 3 days and 2 night’s package for free. OK, OK…I’m dreaming. But then who knows, somebody UP there heard this little dream and would grant it. Miracles do happen, if you believe…

My grandmother is admitted again in the hospital. She landed in ICU this time. I felt a little guilty because I have not visited her as much as I wanted to. I have been so preoccupied with a lot of things and a lot of it is made up of immature choices. My lame excuse is, I am so stressed I need to unwind. Don’t get wrong. Unwinding for simply means, being alone most of the time and just day dream that one day, I will have to reap the harvest of my hard work. So, anyway, I wanted to give my grandmother something that would make her feel that I love her and something that would always remind her of me every time she looks at that something. I am thinking of a Cheap Vertical Blinds. Why? Because number one, I know she will love it. She likes blinds. Number two, it would shield her from the sun especially when will be lying down on her bed near the window. Number three, it symbolizes care because it brings comfort when it’s sunny and filters the sun. She can just easily peep outside if she gets tired of looking inside the four wall corners of her room. Why blinds and not curtain? Blinds are classier. And my grandmother deserves it.

Modern Furniture is something that I wanted to have. But more than that, I wanted to have a home. I may have everything in our house, but if I don’t have peace, love and harmony in our house, that would still not compliment everything. An absence in any of my loved ones would bring so much sadness in our home and no expensive furniture could replace that. I was watching Glee and in one of their episode, I was touched by Home. A house would not be a home without love and the person you love living in it. So now, I have reduced my standard of having a beautiful home. It’s not about the furniture but it’s the people living in it. The kind of love you share with each other. The happiness you have having each other around is what matters. Wherever there is laughter ringing, someone smiling someone dreaming, we can live together there, because love will be our home. Wherever there is children shouting and playing, no matter how messy your house will be after, we can live together there because love will be our home. This is easier said than done. And it takes a lot of patience though. But at the end of the day, when you lay down your bed before you go to sleep, you think. Do I have everything I want or have everything I need? Then it would not be hard anymore.

My husband is going to Singapore tomorrow. I would not be able to see him for 6 days. I know I will be left with the kids at home and as early as now, I am trying to figure out on how to get rid of my boredom since I will be sleeping in our room alone. Getting a Slingbox maybe and watch TV the whole time. I am on leave from work and I promise myself that I leave all office work at work. I hope I won’t get tempted.

I attended a baptism ceremony last Sunday. As I was watching my friend carry her baby I saw the happiness and the glow on her face. I felt happy for her. Gone are the days when prenatal vitamins was all she took. Ok, that’s exaggerated. Well, that’s what I see her take every time when she was still carrying the baby inside her. And now those days payed off. I see a beautiful angel on her arms. And it’s quite a pleasurable sight to watch.

School has just started for my son. He is already in 4th grade. As I was covering his books, I scanned a few pages and reminisced those days when I was still a student. I feared most of all, the subject Math. I always had Math problems. I am so slow with numbers. And until now my husband still teases me with simple math equations which I would take time to answer. I admit until now I still need Math help. My fear of numbers worsens when I got into college. I dreaded the subject Algebra. I really cried out to my husband who was my boyfriend at that time and always seek Algebra help from him. I’m glad I had a boyfriend who took up engineering course so I had a Free Algebra help from him. Going back to my son’s book, I know I will have to encounter Math problems along the way as I will do Homework help for him. Fractions is just one of those I need to prepare myself with. Too much for the ranting here, I need to cross the bridge when I get there. I know there is Tutor Vista that offers 24 by 7 online tutoring. And not just for Math but for all subjects for only $99.99. Well, I might not need it for the moment but at least I know where to run in times of need.

I created a new website because as I was browsing one time online, I saw a promo about getting a free domain subscription free for a year. So I signed up right away. And since I have this beautiful journey.net still active, I used the new domain to a website I created for free. I changed the domain name and now the new website is called, momwomandandafriend.com. In that site I blog about motherhood. I talk about anything a mother can go through. I talk about from raising kids to HomeFiurniture. I also talk about things that every woman can go through. I talk about friendship, being a friend and I talk about friendship. The website has been there for quite some time already, but it was last June 10 that the website was officially launched. I hope that one day, that website will also become a source of inspiration to many and will one day have its own identity. There are just too many things that I wanted to share and post. I just hope for one thing though. I hope that I will be able to balance time and not get burned out. Juggling from being a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend, a blogger and a career woman can be very challenging.

Spending money wisely is one of the things that I an still trying to master. As a mother, its so hard to keep right on budget. Everytime you are at the grocery, you get anxiouse once the barcode scanner the item. You’ll never know how much you’re gonna pay for all that you just bought. Sometimes I’d wish that one day, I’d never have to worry about money anymore. Waiting for that day to come…

I remember one time when my aunt gave my children a box full of books and toys. I was so thankful because what she gave my kids are all educational toys. Kids are very smart nowadays. They can learn a lot from the internet. Sometimes they don’t play with their toys anymore but play online games already. I still wanted my kids to play the classic games. There are creative toys that you can buy that they would surely enjoy. I buy my kids those. There are even outdoor toys that my kids have. For me, playing while learning or learning while having fun is still the best. No matter how you enforce your kids to learn, if they get bored, there is no guarantee that they absorb what they have learned. Being creative is the key. It is very important that you stimulate your kid’s brain. They are the future of this world. And the world’s future truly depends on them.

I just came from out of town. When I arrived home, I felt that my face was so thick with dust because of travel. So I went to the sink right away because I wanted to wash my face. I notice that our sink was so full of stain. I forgot about my dusty face and called my husband right away. “We need to change our sink.” I told him. “And we need to get one of those undermount sinks.”
