Kikay Weekend

Have you ever wondered, what other bonding activities can you do with your daughter. This weekend we tried something really different. It wasn't planned at all. Its like spur of the moment. We went to Mall of Asia, first to go to the PhilConstruct Exhibit. Don't worry I will not talk about that. I know it is a boring topic for moms who are not technical. Believ me, I didn't want to go either, and to think I am an architect. Somehow, being an architect is not who I am anymore, its ort of I can turn away from all of it, just to be a mom. Being a mom is my chosen career for now. (But this is for another post) going back to the story. So after, the exhibit we went to SM Mall of Asia.

We first went to look for a new bed, and before that I had to buy little J some chocholates just to make her stop crying. She's crying because she wants papa (granpa) to come malling with us, but he had to stay in the exhibit. She found a bed she liked, stopped there for a while, me-melk moment. Then, we stopped in the toys section and little j tried out the vtech learning system After hundreds of games, I finally managed to leave the game and go for lunch. We ate at Kenny Rogers, and oh boy, little J liked it. She had 1 1/2 cups of rice, tons of gravy. Really eating with gusto, she loved the gravy and chicken. Then we went back to Depatmen store, while I fill up the forms for internet connection. Little J fitted for shoes. She loves shoes. Unfortunately, we dont like to buy her another one. Mama just bought her new crocs while she was busy playing with the game a few minutes ago. So we told her that there is no size available for her, which is true. So, she ended up crying. I really dont want to ruin our day, because of that. As we rode the escalator down, a quickly thought of making her try some lipstick from those make up stations, just to make her stop crying.

I sat her on those cute bar stool and the saleslady understood exactly what I trying to do as I wipe tears from her face. I didnt even instruct her to do it. She immediately gave little J a make over, just a little blush on, lipstick and sprinkle of bronser. That sis it, she stopped crying and slowly smiled when she saw herself on the mirror. After the make up make over, the enxt station to it is a promo booth for curling/flattening hair iron. So I put her there next and the propmo girl curled her hair. She is so beautiful, the sales ladies are having fun and the shoppers are taking notice too. Most stop and look at her, smiling, whispering sometimes outloud. So cute, so beautiful, pretty baby! It was instant ads for the booths, instant model. Shoppers took notice, little J is getting all the attention and she's loving it.

I really hope I can post the pics here, but my laptops bluetooth is acting crazy I cant transfer the photos from my cellphone. I'll do somthing about it and post the pics soon.

Vampires

Since I just talked about Ghost in my last post, let's talk about vampires now. In celebration of the movie Twilight, I got to see a preview last night when we watched Madagascar 2. I was reading earthly explorations blogs and this post about vampires caught my eye. One because, I just saw twilight trailer, Two because Brad Pitt is on the pictures. She was asking, if we were to choose who will bite me, I'll take Brad Pitt. I didn't realize that most vampires were played by gorgeus actors, such as Brad Pitt. Visit earthlyexplorations to find out who are the others as good looking as Brad that took the part of a Vampire.

Do You believe in Ghosts?

I found this post of earthly explorations interesting, Its about Orbs. I remember watching a tv program about Orbs. They say orbs are ghosts. They are spirits, that register in photos as orbs. Some circular white thingy. Some of the comments say its not orbs only dust. Some say it is spooky, believing they are ghosts. What about you? Do you believe in orbs as ghosts? Visit earthly explorations to check on the pictures.

Madagascar 2: The First Movie that little J watched all though out

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa brings back the best elements of Madagascar, including the familiar critters: Alex the lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Gloria the hippo (Jada Pinkett-Smith), Melman the giraffe (David Schwimmer), the loony lemur, King Julien (Sacha Baron Cohen). Even little Mort, the world's most adorable animated lemur (you know you just want to pet his little head every time you see him on screen), returns for more adventures. Building on the characters we grew to love in Madagascar, the writers have added a herd of new creatures who are just as fully fleshed out and entertaining.


In fact, in many ways Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a better movie than Madagascar. The first film established the personality of each of the animated animals so now the writers are free to leap right into the story. The friendship between the four Central Park refugees is stronger after having spent time away from the comfy confines of the zoo. The old 'home is where your heart is' adage comes into play. And there's even a budding romance featured in Madagascar 2, which is sweet to watch develop (no matter your age). Plus, this one's got striking monkeys demanding pregnancy leave, more screen time for King Julien, and the return of the New York granny who kicks furry butt like Jet Li on steroids.


The Story

Madagascar sequel picks up right where the 2005 film left off, with the Central Park Zoo animals preparing to leave Madagascar to return to the Big Apple. Attempting to prove penguins can fly, the tuxedoed dudes pieced together a plane and now Alex and company, along with King Julien and his 2nd in charge, Maurice, believe they're on the way back to New York City. But penguins, as we soon discover, are not qualified to be airplane mechanics.
The plane crash lands in Africa which turns out to be the best place on the planet for our NY gang to wind up – if they can't make it back to the States. Their plummet to earth couldn't have worked out better if it'd been planned. The four zoo buddies, the penguin posse, and the lemur duo find themselves face to face with wild animals of their own kind. And for Alex, this unexpected detour is actually a homecoming. The king of the lions, Zuba (Bernie Mac), and his mate (voiced by Sherri Shepherd) turn out to be Alex's real parents.


Everyone's happy to finally get to know members of their own species in the wild, but the reunion between Alex and his parents doesn't please all members of the pride. Makunga (Alec Baldwin) has long wanted to replace Zuba as the leader, and the return of the city-raised Alex provides him with just the right opening to make his move...

Bottom Line
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa has a slightly less harried pace about it, while being just as hilarious as the original movie. My personal favorite is the grannie, I call her Rambo Grannie, she's strong enough to fight off Alex. Smart and witty to lead the whole commmunity of New Yorkers lost in the jungle. The plot's involved enough to keep adults engaged while not alienating youngsters, and the overall look of the movie is breathtakingly gorgeous. I like that there is always some dance routine or singing in between serious scenes. My 3yr old daughter who hates watching movies in theaters because of the loud sounds stays put on my lap and enjoyed the whole movie. This is the first time that happened. On our veru first movie Shrek3, although it is as entertaining, she kept quiet and almost cried, because of the louad sounds. While watching Kung Fu Panda, she slept half off the movie so an to relax her. Dark places and lous sounds doesnt really etertain my daughter, its such a bad combination for her. But with this movie, since there are a lot of "You've got to move it! Move it!" She watched the whole movie.

Zenni Optical

Since I am looking for Christmas Gifts, I am scouting for a Great Eyeglasses For Less. I am eyeing some new eyeglasses for my mom, something really nice. Something hip and fashionable. I was able to catch some new styles of eyeglasses while watching the news. Its so nice that Zenni Optical was on FOX news!. They are so cute, something chic but still decent for an eyeglass. Nothing too funky that will make my mom looks like she's trying too much to be hip and cool, just nice. They have Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni, which is just right, there are a lot of designs to choose from. I just wish I can find the Zenni on Fox here. This frame reminds me of Madagascar 2. Isin't it cute?

How to earn from paid blogging

I recently joined a forum called Smart Parenting and in that forum someone, in fact a lot ask me on how I do paid blogging. So instead to emailing each and everyone of them, I decided to just post it here. First of all, I am not an expert, I just started too, but on my first month I earned $300, not so much compared to other moms, but its a lot for me already. I will write how I earned that first $300. Please read on to learn how to do paid blogging.


First Create a Blog,
So you already have a topic in mind and a possible title for your website. It's now time to meet Mr. Blogger. Log on to www.blogger.com and the site would walk you through 3 easy steps on how to make a blog:



1) CREATE AN ACCOUNT - blogger will ask you to fill out a form asking you about your personal information

2) NAME YOUR BLOG - a part in which you need to put a title for your site. Blogger will inform you if the name of the blog you picked is already taken and would give you some title suggestions which is closer to the title you first selected.

3) CHOOSE A TEMPLATE - blogger does have a dozen of templates that you could use. You can select whatever template would suit the website you want to create. You could customize your site by downloading free blogger templates available on the internet but I suggest you first use those default template until such time you are already familiar with blogger software.

after prompting you to select a template...blogger will ask you if you already want to create a post (or blog entry) and once you click the link... you will now be creating your first blog post. I suggest you make your first entry as an introduction page. Tell your readers about yourself and what you want to achieve in making your blog. Through this, readers would know more about you and what drive you to create your website.

You have to write actively on your blog, most paid blogging site doesnt accept blogs the has very few post and no traffic. To create traffic for your site, visit other blogs and comments, you can also link then in your blogroll and ask for exlinks. After a month or two, your blog should have a decent traffic already and most paid blogging site will approve your blogs. Here are some of the sites I joined, to earn that precious moolah. Click on the images to to register.

Another way to earn moolah, write reviews!

looks like the image link is not working, so here is the link for you to join in!

Litratong Pinoy |Malaala Mo Kaya?

Ito ay Kuha nung akoy nasa kolehiyo, 6 na taon ng nakaraan.

This is photo back i college, taken 6 years ago.

Masasayang barkada na parang walang problema.
Kay saya nuong bata pa,
problema mo lang ay kung paano ka papasa.
Pag and crush ay masulyapan,
Ligaya'y wala ng katapusan

Nasan na ba sha?
Di ko na nakikita
Balita ko'y lumipad na
Sa Singapore Gf ay kasama

kaibagan miss ko talaga
Kay tagal na naming di nagkikita
Balita ko naginuman sila
Kasama ni Ross na tatay na

Madalas ako'y di nakakasama
Sa gimmick ng mga loka loka
Hirap talaga ang maging ina
Lalo't kung ikay nagiisa

Hanapbuhay muna, bago ligaya
Pambili ng gatas at ano-ano pa
Di kaya'y umuwi sa pamilya
Nang ang anak ay makasama

Kayo? nakakasama nyo pa ba sila? Nkikita mo pa ba ang barkada?
