Sports, holiday parties, and more sports

My husband loves this time of the year, because he can watch two different sports, basketball, and football, both pro and college. His Direct TV gives him so many different options, and channels. This is when I become a sports widow.
Yesterday he got up and around 1030am he started watching football, and didn’t stop until 1100pm. That is a long time to lie around and watch games. I don’t bother him, because it is the only time he really gets to watch Satellite Directv that much.
During the year he is working everyday, except some Sundays. His work is seasonal the busy time of year for him is April-November. So just when the NFL playoffs, and college bowl games come on in December- February he can enjoy his Direct Satellite TV, all he wants. The only rule is he has is; he has to go to the holiday parties with me!

Christmas time in Colorado

Woke up around 730am and my little girl wanted to start opening presents. We did and we all took pictures. We took a lot of pictures of our puppies; we just love those little guys.
My oldest son didn’t get home from work till around 1130am. He opened his presents, and we took more pictures in front of the tree. My husband wanted to go see the new movie out AVATAR in 3-D. He already bought the tickets for the 325pm showing.
We started to leave the house around 245pm to go to the movie. When I went down the steps from our house I slipped on some ice and hurt my hand and arm. Well we went to the movie. It was a great movie, with really nice special effects. It lasted almost 3 hours!

When I got home I noticed I have some swelling on my arm, so I put some ice on it. I am gonna go lay down and rest. I think I will be very sore in the morning. Lucky I don’t have to go to work for the next 3 days. I will need the time to care for my arm, it hurts, good night.

Space for your Place at Christmas time or anytime……..

Its Christmas time, and what a special time of the year for all of us. I am always looking for new ways to find Christmas Videos to upload or download. I have old Christmas videos from years past. I made a new video last year in 2008, well actually that one was a slide show.
I guess all of us have the music on and are Christmas Sharing, with all of our friends. Being from across the Pacific Ocean I think it’s really cool to be able to do this. I have friends and relatives all over the U.S. and the world. So it’s nice to have the internet highway to reach out with those you care about.
Anytime I get online we are always sharing, and chatting. The thing that keeps you really in touch is pictures. Christmas Pictures are always the highlight of the season. It seems like the year just goes by so quick. Before you know it you’re bringing in the New Year.
It’s exciting to know that the world doesn’t except status quo. Find some time for yourself, and get yourself some space for your place at Christmas time or anytime with Christmas Sharing, of your videos, pictures and make new friends.

Had Dinner at Cinzetti's Restaurant...

Last night, my family and I shopped around for my son Shawn’s glasses at the Mall, his very meticulous of selections his glasses. We all starving, but still need to go Thornton must pick up check by 136th/ Huron. After we had picked the check from the client, were closed by at Cinzetti’s Italian Market Restaurant so we had our buffet dinner. I have not tried the Crepe, but last night the line was not too long. I have a chance to get Crepes. Wow! It’s delicious! I had a chocolate mousse with chocolate topping on. Hmmm, yummy! It’s worth the dinner even expensive…..

Today my baby 22nd birthday ...

Today is my baby’s 22nd birthday. Wow! My oldest is a grown up man. Today he turns twenty-two. When he turn on his 21st birthday last year, he couldn’t wait to be in Vegas to try to gamble went with his friends, now he don’t care as much gambling that he work at the casino hotel at Blackhawk Colorado, he work a lot of hours tried to make money so he can pay his new Infiniti GR35.. He still my baby even though his 22.

Let me borrow your truck, I’m moving…….

Ya right, go ahead and use my truck to move, not. Check this out what if I told you that there is an easier way to move. You need someone whom can do a move for you, at the lowest possible price, right?
Why not get competitive, and find out who will do it the job with quality workmanship, at an affordable price. You could go thru the phone book, at a snail pace, and find someone. Then check the background of the company. You could go on the internet and find the first 5 at the top of the page rank, but not know anything about them.
Here is what you really should do. Get The house removals company, and let them do everything for you. This is genius, a company just like the ones that get you the best airfare. Only they don’t deal with hotels, cars, and airfare. Just moving! That’s right; they find you the best mover for your needs. It’s brilliant that someone out there has a company just to help you find the best mover in your area of needs, just brilliant!

Toilet was leaking...

Hubby drop me off to work this morning because he had to use my car to load the rooter that he rented at home depot for our downstairs bathroom was clog. Good thing that was not a lot of works that need to hire a plumber, but hubby fixed it. yeyeey…The problem was a lot of toilet tissue got clog in the toilet that’s why the water not draining into the shower drain and the toilet was leaking. We saved money, now our bathroom works….

Jewelry Show

About every 3 months I get an ad for the jewelry show that comes thru Denver. We have been to so many of these. It knocks you off your feet at how different the prices are when you walk by all the trade show booths, compared to the mall, and the local jewelry stores.
I guess the thing that amazes my husband is the set up of the displays. He has his own business and is always wondering how they did this or that. He says it amazes him how they set it all up, with the booths, and tables with all the table skirts. Were walking and he says “hey check out those banner stands”. I’m like what are banner stands?
Then he goes on and explains that they are part of display for advertisement, and they are everywhere. Then I realized that these are not only at jewelry shows, but I see this stuff all the time. I guess the one that got me was the background for the booths, pipe and drape. Makes sense its all pipe then they drape a material over it, and there you have it a background! So next time your at a show, check out the work that is put into them, and here is some lingo to remember.

Well we went to lunch today

Our company has four girls working in the office. Today only the big Boss was in, at the office. Our Boss treated us to Thanksgiving lunch that was a nice surprise! Since no one was at the office we had to put a sign on the door saying we would be closed from 11:30 to 1pm.
Our Boss took us to Café Terracotta somewhere off Santa Fe Drive, close to downtown Littleton. there was a long wait, so we took off and drove to Ted’s Montana Grill by the Mineral Outlet Mall. Me and my Boss ordered plank salmon, it’s delicious and it’s cheap hmmmm. They have five more options menus that you can have for the small price of 8.00 American dollars, what a deal!
It was my first time to eat there, I was so full. After I ate my co-workers kept asking me if I was okay. I was falling asleep, I wish I could have went home, but had to go back to work. It was a really nice place to eat for the price, the food was good.

Making it happen, correctly

My husband has a business and is always looking for ways to get customers. He has tried everything under the sun, here’s a few mailer, flyers, newspaper ads, and yes the internet. All of them worked, some better than others. He’s been in business for over 25 years, so he has some experience in attracting customers.
He says what matters most is if your advertising is the type of customer you are targeting, and how you utilize the products available to you. He says back 25 years ago the internet was in its infancy stages. Now the internet is the most powerful tool you can have at your finger tips.
It’s all about how your advertisements are listed. If your advertisement is not accurately listed on line by the search engine, it don’t matter what your page rank is, how it is optimized, or anything else. Having your business properly listed, makes all the difference in the world, it will save you money by channeling customers that need your service. Making it happen, correctly is money saving, smart, the right thing to do.

Party, party, for you know who!

Yesterday was my Goddaughter’s first birthday party. My hubby’s foreman’s wife Amy came to the house, so she could go with me to pick up the cake. I ordered the cake at Sam’s club. I ordered a half sheet cake and a small personal cake for my goddaughter so she could have her very own cake.
Once we picked up the cake I was in a hurry because I had to pick my new friend I recently met. Me an Amy picked her up and drove to the party. Oh what a headache finding the address! I didn’t have my GPS (my hubby has it in his car), I did map quest, but still had a hard time finding the address. I had never been to my new friends house.
It’s funny because when we arrived to the party all the guests had already ate, and the birthday girl was opening her presents. So all they needed was the birthday cake, and to blow out the candles. It was a good time and not one of my friends complained about me showing up late because I couldn’t find the house. I have known most of these friends about 10 years. It’s always nice to have friends that understand, and are just happy that you made it to the party.
I can truly say that I am blessed with all different types of friends, from all walks of life. Any time there is a wedding, baptism, 25th wedding anniversary, birthday party, party, or just a get together with 5-6 couples I am invited. I appreciated all of them all the time!

Love my channels, and watch them all the time

I am always hearing about other people that are tired of their cable provider. There really isn’t but one choice for this house, it has to be direct TV. We have had it forever, and don’t even think about changing it. It offers everything we want.

My husband gets to watch all his sports channels, and he can get more than the normal sport packages with Directv. He has some NFL package now where he can watch any team playing, not just the ones showing on the local channels. Plus the NFL network.

I like my foreign channels that DirectTV provides me with. That was one of the big selling points when we switched to DirectTV. Once we switched we realized that the customer service was good quality, and problems with the service were really not an issue. It’s a service that is highly recommended in this house!

What happen to the snow...

The snow started coming down on our way going to our friend’s house. She invited us to have dinner at her house that she made a lot of foods, it was her daughter’s birthday yesterday. She didn’t invite many friends just among 3 each couples and her daughter friends. We did not stay very late because we have to go our bowling league. We got on time, the weather was getting bad; too much snow coming down and the road are getting slick. We just got back home from bowling no more snowing. What happen to the snow; stop, wow! Amazing, Earlier this evening, when we left from our friend’s house going towards to the bowling alley, most car runs slow because the snow was coming down heavier, but now stopped, couldn’t believe what the Colorado weather like? But it said going to snow tonight and tomorrow.

Salute for the Veterans!

On Veterans Day, we honor all the men and women who have served in America's armed forces. Thank you for the courage and dedication. Happy Veterans Day.

Awesome game...

It was so unbelievable the CU Buffs had won the game against Texas A&M last weekend. I thought were going to loose like a week ago watching against Missouri team. The extra point on the fourth down helped to win our one point. The final scored 35/34. Yeyeyy CU Buffs won the game against Texas Aggies and the weather was so nice no need a jacket. The next game will be against Nebraska on the day after Thanksgiving Day. Go Buffs…

Mom I need help with my homework

At least in my house this is a common phrase. We had the oldest, which is 22 and working. He didn’t have that much home work that he needed help with. We still have the 15 year old boy and the 13 year old girl in school. It’s the little girl that always is in need of math help.

We had an older student in the neighborhood come over and help her with math, but it didn’t work out. We then decided to go to an online math tutoring site to see how it would work.

We tried several sites. Seeing which one had the best to offer what we needed for her. Some sites offer free online math help, this gives you a chance to try out what they have to offer. What makes online tutoring attractive is the availability of the tutor, yes it’s a 24/7 operation, so your child can do it on weekends or on a late night, to cram for the examine the next day at school. So when my children say “Mom I need help with my homework, I say get on the computer!

Finally Just got chance to upload....

It has been a while I did not blog too busy of my chores. My friend, sorry it took long time to upload the pictures, but I dun no you still want to see the pictures we had at Miriam Pantig show last October.

My Sister Birthday Today

This greeting is for my Sister to wish her Happy Birthday today in Philippines. Thank you for everything being such a nice sister and always there for me when I was there in Philippines with my kids. My two kids and I stood there house almost a year because I let my two kids go to school in Cebu Eastern College (CEC) to learn Filipino and Chinese. Even though was hard for my kids to learn Chinese and Filipino. They had a great time meeting many friends hanging out, and they learned the different between the school in Philippines and Denver. I thank to my sister and her families supporting us to stay with them while we were there. Sis you are so wonderful and the Kids…Wish you many more birthdays to come. Will see you soon and the Families.

Making it easy for you,

Have you or any of your children taken piano lessons? You probably know that you really need music sheets to play something that you have learned while taking lessons. The thing is you don’t need to use music sheets to play the piano.
Now you can learn on the fly with a DVD, yes you can watch and learn. It’s easy and simple. You can start learning, and playing all your favorite tunes on the Piano Chords within minutes. Piano lessons have never been easier.
You can keep your appointments with your piano teacher. But you may want to utilize the option of using a DVD to your advantage. Say you can’t make your lesson, or your time is not allowing the drive time. What ever the case may be, you can continue with your piano goals without the drive time. You can learn on your time, and with out leaving your house, it’s just a way of making it easy for you.

Henry vs Grant Ranch Cross Country

Hubby and I got to the Grant Ranch School yesterday where the track field held. Kids started to run when we got to the field and saw my girl was walking with few kids tired and sweating. There were about 30 kids joined in Henry School where my daughter‘s group, they have to runs 3 lap. I do not know how many miles is that as long it is quite far, my daughter was tired and hurting her side pain but at least she made the lap round and it was her first time in Cross-country. On our way home Ashley said she did not eat at her lunch at the school and drunk a lot of water maybe that what it cause a little pain while she was running, I have no idea why she skip her lunchtime. We talked while driving home that she need to motivated to try hard for the next time and need more practice. The next game will be on Wednesday. Ashley did a great job for her first time of her runs three lap of her Cross Country.

Cozy warm in the winter time

Our bill for the winter is something that we are always on a watch for. It seems like the bill would get so high in the winter. So my husband put in a stove and closed the fireplace except where the pipe goes out.

He recently did a job in the mountains and saw heating differently. He said that the heat comes up thru the floors. He went on to explain that most mountain homes are going to this type of heating.

He said they still have a fireplace, and even a stove. But was told that the floor heating was so much more efficient and cost effective that it is the way all homes are being built not only in the mountains but in the city.

The real negative about a stove is the smoke, which we have down to very little, but the ashes that are left around the stove every time you put wood in or clean out the ashes. The other is you can’t get a consistent temperature. Sometimes it gets real hot in one room, and cool in the next. The thing about floor heat is you can be cozy warm in the winter time no matter what part of the house you’re in.

Ashley First Game Today "Cross Country"

My daughter Ashley made it to the team with other group at the school to play Cross-country. She is so excited about either she will take the Cross country or the Volleyball but the practice schedule got conflict at the same day. When my daughter told me week ago that she need to have a sports physical as possible so she can join at the physical sports. I called at Kaiser; it was very lucky have available appointment for her to see the doctor for her physical exam. Doctor released a forms for Ashley authorize that she can play sports and had three vaccines (shots) done and submitted the forms to the sports teacher. I was not too sure if she is in the team until yesterday she brought her uniform home and told us she needs a good running shoe. After our dinner, we went to Kohl’s look around for her shoe to pick out what she likes. She picked out the AVIA brand Nike for her pair of running shoes. It’s expensive for me for $59.99 plus tax, but that is okay because she needs a good one to run. She is annoying, keep telling hubby and I to watch her run. Of course, I do not want to miss this game to see and watch her run and be proud for her first time sports at the school. Today is her first game with other team to play Cross Country at Henry World School vs. Grant Ranch. Ashley has counted on us to be there. I will be there Princess... Go-Go “EAGLES”….

My Weekends...

It was my first weekend of this month that I stayed home. What a busy life enjoying day by day. Saturday morning I woke up around 7:30 am and thought of calling my sister in Cebu, it been a long time I have not hear from her so I decide to call her. Oh Guss, I talked for long long time did not stop talking until 10:10 am which a late night in Philippines. I was very happy to hear the news when my sister told me that Richard Gomez is running as a Congressman in Ormoc and Leyte for 2010. Richard married to Lucy from Ormoc City about 2 hours away from Palompon Leyte. Richard doing his political campaign as a Congressman in Leyte. My brother and the Mayor at Palompon are very close friend. One day my brother asked favor to Richard if he can come to his house that my mother really like to see him and take some pictures. I could not wait to see the pictures of my Mom and Richard Gomez, but my sis in law has the picture. While I was talking to my niece she told me that I could see some picture from my other niece at the Face book that she had upload her Dad and Uncle which my two brothers are on the picture with Richard Gomez.

TGIF

First Day School

It was the first day of my teen girl school today, she was so excited to be at the school, she woke up very early without waking her up and ready for her to be at the school to see some of her friends. I took her to school and she wanted me to drop her off only but I found a parking space and went to see what she doing. First I could not find her but she was with her friends lining up to get the class schedule and sharing friends which teachers they have at the class , seems my girl a grown up knows what she doing so I left and went to work. When she gets off from school she used the school phone and called me and when she arrived home she let me know she’s home and start talking about her school that she likes her homeroom teacher and need more stuff for the school. I think she so excited getting up so early now she’s so tired went to bed so early.

Want it to get lost?

Who out there likes doing sit-ups? Belly is too big, can’t fit into your pants, to snug, it gets to be a pain, huh. It is hard to work on your abs, probably the hardest. I know, I know, I have a lifetime membership to a spa, and don’t go as much as I should. No time, too many appointments, parties, and kids!

Check this out; how about using some body wraps to get the waist line down. Everyone is doing it. Makes sense if you really don’t have the time to spend at the gym, or spa. If you’re just trying to take off a few inches, and we could all use that. Try and inch loss body wrap, to take off what you need from your waist line.

The question should probably be, “Do I want to take a new approach to get my waistline back where I want it?” You and I buy beauty products all the time. But when it comes to something that sounds this easy we hold off. We buy some beauty products that we won’t buy again, because they just didn’t do that much for us. If you are one like me that wants it to get lost (my waistline), try something new for a change.

The bride acting parents made an announcement cheers & toss the wine. It was so excitement to know the story about the bride and groom meet. Best Wishes for the Happily Marriage for the two of them. Wish you both the best of luck” Loren & Terry”

Tiresome day at work

It was a long day for me today, at work. I’ve been trying to catch up with my two day absence from work. I was behind on confirming the acknowledgment purchase orders from the book. My boss wants me to follow up by calling our vendor. The acknowledgment book was now thick seeing as no one did it while I was gone. My Boss posted the invoices for me while I was away. This morning he came to my desk, gave me the book and told me to call and see if the order was confirmed. I was quite busy catching up on my work. Because I just came back from assisting my friend’s move across state in San Antonio, Texas.

Dr. Dunn, and Dr. Dunn

We have a primary Dr. and his name is Dr. Dunn. Then he has a wife whom also is a Doctor. They don’t practice in the same office, and they don’t do the same kind of work. Dr. M. Dunn is a general practice physician. While T. Dunn his wife is a ------ physician, after my surgery, she was always giving me samples of medication, to see what would work for me. I finally went with a patch, for what I need.

I always get concerned when I go to get vaccinations or shots for me or the children. My son is a baby, even though he is 15, and my daughter does not like shots, she is 13. Me myself I get a bruise when I get a shot.

Sometimes you wonder where all these medical supplies come from. I know most of them come from the U.S., but I have heard some of them come from other countries. We have been to the Dunn’s several times and I have never asked what the vaccine is or where it came from, but it makes you wonder.

They are really 2 wonderful Doctors, and we have been with them for years. My hubby is funny, he always says, “Oh here comes, Dr. Dunn, Duh, Dunn, Dunn, Dunn”.

Helping our friends

My hubby and I decided to help them drive one of the vehicles down there and we will fly back. My hubby and I will drive the Tahoe and trailer behind it. Bob and Cindy will be in the big moving van; Cindy’s car is on a trailer being towed behind it. We will stop in Lubbock, Texas, and spend the night,we are tired, hungry,went to ate at IHOP at 11:30pm and need to get some sleep so we can get going in the morning.
We switched vehicles and my hubby drove the big moving van with the car trailer behind it. It was kind of scary to ride in. It bounces all over, and you can only go about 60 mph in it. My hubby says that’s about the top speed to be safe. We got into San Antonio, Texas about 830pm, and we were all tired, hungry, and needed a shower. But first we had to unload the big moving van. What a job that was! My hubby and Bob started unloading and a person across the street one of their neighbors came over, introduced himself and helped for a bit. Then Bobs sister, and brother-in-law showed up and helped.
We finally got done unloading the van around 1030pm. We didn’t even shower, we went straight to eat. We went to Chilis Restaurant and I had a Rib-eye steak. It was soooooo good! Anyway went to Bob and Cindy’s showered and went to bed.

An Orchestra at Home when you need one

How about those practices where you’re using your and it just don’t give you that satisfaction of a real live performance. Say it’s the piano and you need to hear all the other instruments, to get the real sound you need from an orchestra.

What if you could bring all that music into your home? Wouldn’t that be a cats meow, having a virtual orchestra in your home so you could practice your music? This would be a perfect must have for the person that is studying to be a violinist.

Everyone that is inspiring to be the best musician, or concert pianist would like to have the opportunity to practice with an orchestra at home. Imagine coming home from your violin lessons, and trying out the new piece you learned with an orchestra! I would think anyone would like to have “an orchestra at home when you need one”.

Getting ready for the trip to San Antonio Texas

It is morning and we are getting ready to drive to San Antonio. My husband said he would help out Bob who is moving down their. So we have a long drive, and I will tell you more later when we come back.Wish you all have a good Sunday...

Everyone is looking for a deal, even me.

It never fails to amaze me how confusing, and complicated things can get when you’re looking to buy a large item. I am talking about a mortgage for a house, loan for a car or a boat, you know. You start shopping, and one thing leads to another, before you know it you have a headache.

How about one stop shopping! Regardless what you’re looking to buy, get a premium on, or invest in. That’s good news; someone else has already done all the search engine stuff for you. You only need to click and look at the rates you might be interested in.

Someone has done all the foot work for you, and they have new leads for you everyday. Looking for life insurance, auto insurance, homeowners insurance on one site is easier than surfing the web all day. Everyone is looking for a deal, but finding it is the question, how do I find a good deal?

Wedding Bells and more……

Yesterday July 25, 2009, was the wedding date for my friend. I was one of the bridesmaids. It was a long day, but I will try to make this short. First thing in the morning I went to get my hair and nails done. Came back home, waited for my friend to arrive, cause she was going with me to the wedding.

This friend that got married was a co-worker of mine at the Post Office. She still works there, and I resigned in 2004. Any way it was a simple wedding at her house, but it was very nice. The arrangement was just wonderful. It was in her back yard, with about 100 people in attendance.

There were a lot of my co-workers there, and it was good to see everyone. Plenty of food, she had a pig, and Filipino food, as well as Mexican food. Her husband is Mexican, and she is Filipina. So there was chile, rice, and tamales, it was all good. Lots of drinks. The cake was so beautiful; it was a 3 tier, with rose pedals on it. That went with the dresses, table clothes, chair covers, and the rest of the decorations she had out in the yard and inside her house. My hubby and I have had large parties before, and you can tell that they did not hold back on expenses. They really went out and made it very nice!

I would have to say that the flower girl stole the show. Her name was Brooklyn; she was just over 2 years old. What a little girl, she did karaoke, and danced, so cute. Another attraction was my friend Elizabeth, and the bride has little dogs. Well they dressed them both up in a tuxedo, and a bride dress! So they matched the bride and groom. We had karaoke downstairs, and dancing upstairs, it was a good time for all.

My Computer got a Virus

Since last Friday my computer at work does not working because I got a virus. I do not really know what it cause me but I had AOL, Blogvertise, Friendster, and my outlook express on my surfing internet. As what the last I did, I was getting the code from freindster to download; my computer was out and could not get the program I am working on. I could not open the internet anymore. I called our computer technician, she told me to try full scan and see what happened but it took long to scan so I left at worked. On Monday when I came back to work my computer still not working using my Boss‘s wife, while waiting for our computer technician to come. My boss’s wife used come to work handling the collection but since we have enough people in the office, she prefer to stay home with her grandchild or shopping. She trained and let one of the girl handle the collection processing. I was using her computer because no one using. I stay away surfing internet because I do not want to let them see I internet usually, besides I shared the desk and they can see me up and down. We have a technician doing our computer if there is a problem, she will try to do the remote first instead of coming in to the office but last Monday she came in at the afternoon tried to worked on my computer but our power went out can not do anything, our son boss let us go home early since the power will back up at 6pm. Tuesday morning the computer technician kept calling what my boss has to say if he want her to fix my computer but the response have to wait, the technician charged per hour the labor, we told her we will let her know if some reason could not fix our own, we will call her. One of our sales man know how to work some of the computer so he tried to worked on , he transfer my file to another computer and reboot my computer and it fixed. Thanks Goodness! I am in trouble if does not work. The only problem I have after he fixed my computer that my scanner would not work if I attached scan to email , other wise everything works ,also I am waiting for our sales man to be back so he can download my anti virus that we had as of now I have to be careful because is not protected.

The Carburator joke

The car won't start," said a wife to her husband.
"I think there's water in the carburetor."
"How do you know?" said the husband scornfully.
"You don't even know what the carburetor is."
"I'm telling you," repeated the wife,
"I'm sure there's water in the carburetor."
"We'll see," mocked the husband.
"Let me check it out. Where's the car?"
"In the swimming pool."

How much water do you use a day?

Ever wonder where the water you use comes from? Do wish you could save water? Some of us live where the rainfall dictates how much water we will have during the year. Some of us live where the snow fall when it melts will give us water. Some of us live where we get water from another state, from a river that flows to us.
In this day and age we all need to do what we can to conserve water. A new way to start is getting a dual flush toilet. This design will help you save anywhere from 15 to 20 thousand gallons a year. That’s a lot of water. A dual flush conversion kit is easy to install, and you can keep you same toilet!
Where I live there are signs all over reminding us to use only the water we need. We had a drought here about 5 years ago. It was really bad, we couldn’t water the grass, we had to learn how to save water. Now you only get water in a restaurant if you request it. Those days of getting a glass of water with your menu are over. It makes you think, how much water do you use in a day?

Independence Day

Happy Fourth to my friends,Be safe and enjoy..

Are you covered?

Yes I am talking about auto insurance. Recently here in Colorado, car insurance went up for everyone, because a new law. Our insurance went up at least $40.00 per month. One day out of the clear blue sky we received a letter from our insurance company that there would be an increase.
Auto insurance is always expensive, and it’s important to have. It’s especially important when there is a theft, or damage claim to your car. That’s when you find out how good your insurance is. Will they process your insurance claim fast, and efficient?
If you are not happy with your current auto insurance, you can always get a car insurance quote online. You should probably check anyway to see if the auto insurance rates you are getting are fair. There may be a better deal out there, so check to may sure you are covered and not paying too much

Proud I'm a Dual Citizen

My friend Joy accompanies us last Sunday went back to Colorado Springs with my two kids taking oath of our Dual Citizen. I am so proud that I belong to two countries now. Joy accompany us was so helpful, she do not mind of taking picture on her camera she was our photographer. Joy could not seat with us in the front only the applicant’s oath taking. About 30 people did the Dual Citizen, mostly I do not know them except Aileen was the member of FACC that I know her was there too. We sang two national anthem, the Philippine and Star Spangle, the two women sang the anthem has a beautiful voice made me feels so proud of my two country. I had enjoyed meeting with Ruby the president of Fil-Am Community of Southern Co. Springs and her staff Grace, Nida &.etc... They are very polite and nice to talk and shared the laugh. After receiving our Dual Certification, we took a groups picture, the area was not big space because of the crowd. Everyone squashing and pushing to each other that everyone wants be next to the Consulate General Wilfred from San Francisco. The Fil-Am Community also celebrating the Philippine Independence Day. They had a free barbecue, games, vendor, entertainment, at the same time doing oath taking for dual citizenship applicants held at the Fountain Creek Regional Park of Colorado Springs. We had to fall in line because there were many people. Joy, my kids and I ate was sat at the grass that no chair to seat and was so hot. Were going to say goodbye to Ruby and her staff, seen the group of the Fil-Am Community was dancing we watched, came the next Tinikling, and Hawaiian dance. Every time have a Filipino gathering can not get away without the Electric Slide dance, here me and Joy dance along with other people that we don’t know. We still want to stay more but my son was grumpy wanted to go home, at the same time were leaving, Grace taking Consulate General Wilfred and his staff to airport that they flying back to San Francisco. Hoping will see them back in October at Denver. We appreciated and thanking the Philippine Consulate of San Francisco and his staff was here to serve issues of our Filipino community. Guys, if you or anybody interest that needs to renew their Phil. Passport or Dual Citizen if you could wait, instead hassling go to California spending more money for the trip, the Phil. Consulate from San Francisco is coming back in mid of October. Please visit my blog occasionally; I will post more details once I hear from the member of the Filipino club regards of the Philippine Consulate coming back to Denver … Mabuhay ….

Phil. Consulate were here in Colorado Springs

I just found out it was so dedicated the person who request and invited the Philippine Consulate from San Francisco to come in Colorado twice a year. It was very helpful for the people who reside in Colorado that do not make a hassle trip going to California for processing their paper works. It was so blessing and their efforts to come in Colorado helping to serve our Filipino Community as their service issues preparing our important documents .They were here from Friday through Sunday. Thanks for the Philippine Consulate General and his staff for coming to Colorado Springs. Mabuhay Ang Pilipinas!

Transformer at IMAX

While we are on our way home from Colorado Springs on Sunday, hubby bought eight tickets online for us and Joy’s family to watch Transformer at IMAX in Colorado Blvd. We choose the time show at 7:20 pm. Hubby tried to get more tickets for other friends but the tickets sold out. We get at IMAX around 6:25 pm, the seat on top was much taken, and we got on the third level from the bottom, huge screen. The movie was so awesome, the show took about 2 ½ hours. I pretty sure, you will like the movie and will enjoy to watch it; we cannot wait to see when DVD comes on so we can buy and watch it again.

Renewal Passport/Dual Citizenship

Last year the Philippine consulate Office from San Francisco came to Denver at the FACC. I was not interested that time to be a Dual Citizen. One day when my friend and I went to Bahay Kubo that I introduced my friend to Ate Nora , my friend asked question regards of the renewal passport and we been told that the Philippine Consulate Office from San Francisco are coming to Colorado. I email back and forth with Ate Nora and she told me will held the Dual Citizenship at the Colorado Springs and also doing passport renewal. Ate Nora gave me the location where we can go. I talked with my hubby regards of this matter; he told me that it is so cool to have a Dual Citizen. My friends and I had planned that where going on Saturday. I did not went to worked on Friday so I can get all my papers ready for filling my Dual Citizen. The meantime I also can get my Philippine passport but I had missing some requirement documents. It was my options if I want to have a Phil. Passport. We did not wait too long somehow we got more faster than anybody on the list. Were so hungry we did not eat breakfast that we want to get our things done. After completed what we came for, we ordered our food and ate. We still have plenty time so we went to Garden of the Gods.

The Piano Player

We bought a small electric piano for the kids to mess around with. Well one day I here this tune from Mozart or something classical. I walk downstairs and it’s Shawn. He only knew a few keys, but it was odd to hear it. I asked him where he learned that, and he said at school, messing around.
I was thinking imagine what he could do if he could Read Music. If he can do that just messing around, it would be worth it to get him into some kind of music class. Something where there is
free sheet music, something he could do at his own pace. Maybe online lessons, or some type of piano course.
He is on the computer all the time anyway. It would be nice for him to learn how to play the piano. I don’t know that much about how to play music, but I would think you need to learn how to read music, before you can play. I will ask him if he would like to do some online lessons, who knows maybe we will have the piano player in the house.

Went Out with My friend

Today I took a day off from worked. I had lot things to do. However, I only managed to do one load of laundry. I went to the bank to get all my papers that were needed in which arrived here from back home. I then went to pick up Cindy and Kate at their house. I took them to have lunch at a Dim sum restaurant. After our lunch we stopped by the Asian market to buy me a sack of rice. Kate didn’t eat the dim sum so we order take out at Wendy’s and got chicken nuggets. After we went to Kohl’s just to window shop and it turned out I found a couple of blouses for me. To finish the day, I dropped Cindy and Kate home, so Ashley and I could go to Sam’s Club to exchange my cordless phone that I bought a while back and it turned out to not work so well. It was also good that I stopped by Wal-Mart because I needed to pay the bills. I returned home, tired from a long day; ready to hit the hay because tomorrow awaits yet another long and tiresome day on a visit to Colorado Springs!
