<p align="center"><a href="http://www.glitter-graphics.com/">I can’t wait to see my niece. Her name is Heiley Zowi and Zowi will be her nickname. She will surely be an apple of their eye. She’s the only baby in the family (back home) so all the attention will be hers. Grannies will be happy too. Mama says that she will be the one to bathe her and change her. Aaawww, I’m sure if Ethan is there the grandparent’s hands will be full all the time. We will see Zowi sometime early next year because we will have our 2nd vacation next year, we all can’t wait and hopefully we will go home not just 3 but 4. Oh my sister’s due is next month I guess it’s on the 12th of next month. We are praying that she will have a short labor, normal deliver and normal/healthy baby girl.

My husband loves wine. Actually after he was diagnosed with heart disease and had his surgery he was told by his doctor to drink red wine at least once a day. So his been drinking wine ever since until now. He mentioned about <a href="http://www.goldmedalwine.com/">wine of the month</a> thing the other day. According to him that he wants to join the wine club at goldmedalwine.com. I don’t have any idea about it and I didn’t know that there is such thing as wine of the month. But anyways, whatever he meant by that I’ll support him. It’s fine with me if he wants to join wine club I don’t care at all, so go ahead babe.

My toddler loves pumpkin pie. He can eat 3 slices of pumpkin pie. Whenever he sees dada eating some pumpkin he would ran hastily towards his dada. That’s why whenever we go to the grocery stores I always make sure to grab a pumpkin pie so my son can have some deserts or snacks. He also loves pudding and I also grab something for him. I tried to get him use to eating fresh fruits though. It’s weird because when I was still pregnant I love to eat fresh apple fruits and I’m wondering why my son doesn’t want to eat them. He likes apple sauce but very rarely. He loves banana and he calls them “taba” I don’t know where he got those names but that’s how he names banana.

I have a 2 year old son and he is so interested in learning ABC’s now and he loves to recite them any time of the day and night. My son is really interested in all kinds of educational toys. I want to get him something else though and I was looking for a <a href="http://tinyurl.com/8hpd3e">Building toys</a> so he can develop his mental capacity and learn logic things at an early age. I found some cool magnetic toys at megabrands.com that my son will surely enjoy playing. They have this Special Parts Ultimate 1.1 that features the following;<br /><ul><li>The biggest MagNext Special Parts set available, includes all 10 MagNext Special Parts</li><li>New revolutionary magnetic system for bigger, stronger and faster construction</li><li>Endless building possibilities</li><li>Excellent for mind sharpening and imagination building</li><li>Compatible with all MagNext building sets</li></ul><p>Although this toy is excellent for 6 years old and above, I’m pretty sure that my son will enjoy this too. We accidentally bought a box of building blocks from another store and we didn’t actually know about it until we got home. Our son was playing with them and he really enjoyed it. So I think this magnetic building toy is really cool for any child. This kind of toys will also teach any children mechanical aptitude so I’m encouraging all the parents out there to check out these unique toys for your children.</p><br />

My son loves to sing and recites his ABC’s anytime of the day and even night as well. Every time he wakes up in the morning he would give me his sweetest smile then he will say “sing”. Whenever he says that I know exactly what he meant. He’ll point outside the living room and wants me to turn the PC on so he can sing along with the rest of the “gang” on YouTube. He is so cute when he recites the ABC. Good job son! He is learning how to count as well. The educational shows that he's watching everyday really helps him too. I think almost all the words he learned he got it from his favorite educational shows. He loves KPBS kids (channel 11 - San Diego).

The economic crisis is really affecting the household income. Many people these days are working more than one job just to make ends meet. Some households are turning to online marketing to achieve success through affiliates or something like that. In my case, I’m a stay at home mom and I’ve been working online for over a year now. I am not a computer guru so I’m not making much.

As a parent when we see our child suffer from any kinds of illnesses whether it’s serious or not it makes us feel so helpless. We tried to do all things that will make our child feel better physically. My son had cough and cold. Looking at him so weak makes me want to cry but I don’t want my son (2 year old) see my tears because he feels bad too. Toddlers these days are so smart that they can read your mind just by looking at your actions. Now my son is active and energetic once again. Vicks and massage helps him a lot.

Last night was my son’s 2nd time of sleeping over at Melina’s house. This afternoon we picked him up and when he saw us he was so excited and he was jumping for joy. He looks like he almost wants to cry from joy seeing us. His eyes were swollen from crying last night. I’m sure he misses us a lot and so we are. I was thinking about him the whole time yesterday and last night. I had tears in my eyes when I learned that he was crying for us and I just hugged him. We were supposed to take him to an Auto Show downtown this afternoon but seems like he was sick. He got cold and coughs right now. I missed my son so much and I can’t imagine without seeing him for more than 2 days. One day without him is already unbearable. We’re happy that our son is back now, we love you nak!

I remember reading an article about <a href="http://www.autismsupportnetwork.com/">autism</a>. It was a heartwarming story that really touched my heart. I’m a mother to a son and watching him growing to be a normal child makes me feel so fortunate. The article that I’ve read was about a boy named Christopher, he was a handsome, well-behaved little boy who stopped responding to his name at 18 months of age. Accordingly that this boy seemed as if he was deaf, yet he always noticed the rustle of a candy wrapper. In time, other puzzling behaviors also manifested themselves. Rather of playing with his toys in the usual ways he would just spin their wheels over and over again. He developed an unusual interest in liquids, pouring them out at every opportunity. This, along with his love for climbing, led to many precarious situations and to a great deal of anxiety for his mother. Gradually a lot more symptoms came up to him and finally the parents began searching for answer.<br /><br />Every mother, they prayed to have a normal and healthy baby but for some medical reason others are not so fortunate enough to have it. I feel so sad for Christopher’s mother that she wasn’t aware of this kind of illnesses. I’d like to commend <a href="http://www.autismsupportnetwork.com/">Autism Support Network</a> for giving a free support for those seeking help and answers with autism and asperger's syndrome. I’m calling all parents who have an autistic child to get connected with Autism Support Network because they can give you all the support you needed in dealing with autism.<br /><script language="JavaScript" src="http://beta.ihype.com/updCount.aspx?_b=1461"></script>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EZtamI4Fe80/SVq0BRLty_I/AAAAAAAACy8/u0azX3Wlxls/s1600-h/untitled.bmp">" at Social Spark. One of the opps I grabbed from the other day. Few hours after submitting my post to them I got a message saying “your post has been approved” and I checked on it that’s when I found out that my blog was chosen to be the best post to date. I love it though because it brings traffic to my blog too.

<p align="left">A common friend of mine who lives in Branson, Missouri is inviting us over to spend a summer vacation with them. I asked them about what attractions that we can check out over there? And she said that there are a lot of fun things to do in Branson. She told me that I don’t have to worry about accommodations because their place has nice hotels and most of it is nearby to shopping centers and restaurants. She recommended me to make a reservation at <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=30152&amp;url=http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/HROBRHH-Hilton-Promenade-at-Branson-Landing-Missouri/index.do" rel="nofollow">Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing</a> or <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=30152&amp;url=http://bransonconventioncenter.hilton.com" rel="nofollow">Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel</a>. I’m very familiar with Hilton hotel because here in San Diego we have all kinds of it like almost every where. And besides Hilton hotel is very popular worldwide. </p><p align="center">

Melina, one of our close friend ask me if she can baby sit my son on Wednesday. She just loves my son so much and every time we have our Christian meeting she always take Ethan with her. The husband said that if he’ll work overtime on Wednesday then they can take Ethan with them Tuesday night so Ethan can sleep over at their house. That’s because I don’t drive yet and I can’t take Ethan to their house on Wednesday but instead after our meeting on Tuesday they can take our son with them. Anyways, she just called and asked me if she’ll take Ethan on Tuesday so she can buy some food for Ethan. I told her “aaaww, you’re so sweet”. I’m so thankful that despite my family is not with us there are still friends out there who will help us through thick and thin. Thanks for them a lot!

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EZtamI4Fe80/SVhcTPoIcqI/AAAAAAAACyk/lN_XKpQyr8c/s1600-h/48CB0C.jpg"> bathroom sink faucet. She told me to check online because they have various selection of it. So tonight before going to bed I searched online and I found the sink faucet that my friend has. I think I will just purchase it online. I like that one better (in the photo above).

<a href="http://www.glitter-graphics.com/">Hi guys it’s about time to rest and take my beauty sleep now. 5 minutes more then it’ll be 9pm, I know it’s early to some of you guys but for me it’s not anymore because my eyes are tired and wanted to close for sleep. My son is already asleep and I tuck him in his bed too. Hubby is taking nice warm shower and ready to go to bed too. I need to say good night to all my visitors, hoppers, loyal friends and droppers too. Whatever you addressed yourselves I just want to say thanks you to all of you.

When my husband took me to an <a href="http://www.solomonbrothers.com/">engagement rings</a> store I was so excited. He had me pick which ring I want and I was so confuse because I love almost all of those displayed in that store. The lady showed me another ring which wasn’t included to the displayed rings and after she showed me I kind of fall in love with it. It was the cutest ring that I’ve ever seen (it’s got a flower design with a diamond on top of it). My husband who was my fiancé then paid the item and we both thought it was nice and it’s worth the money. I will never forget that moment; it’s still fresh in my mind until now.

<p>I was reading this article found in “awake magazine” and I was so touch by the story of a little girl (Hillary) who was born just like any other normal child but eventually her mother noticed something’s wrong with her. When it was time for to start crawling, she didn’t seem interested. In her first year she had learned only a few words and she had no effort to walk or pull herself up to a standing position. Hillary’s mother was so worried and she went to talk to her daughter’s doctor but she was told that her daughter is lazy. Later on Hillary started developing unusual hand movement and accordingly it was like a rhythmic movement (back &amp; forth to her mouth), breathing abnormalities such hyperventilating and breath-holding until her lips would turn purple. The mother was so desperate to know what’s going on with her daughter. If I’m in her shoe I would surely feel the same. To make the long story short the mystery was solved when Hillary turned 5 years old a friend of her mother read an article in local newspaper about a girl with little known genetic disorder called Rett Syndrome. She took Hillary to a neurologist and it was confirmed that Hillary is suffering from RS. Really a sad story!</p><p><span style="color:#666600;"><strong>Here are the symptoms;</strong></span></p><ul><li>Decreased head growth from 4 months</li><li>Loss of the ability to use hands functionally</li><li>Loss of the ability to speak</li><li>Repetitive hand movements</li><li>Unusual breathing patterns</li><li>Seizures grind their teeth</li><li>Tremble and shake when upset or scared</li></ul>

Are you aware that a women’s menstrual blood has life-saving stem cells in it? Well, honestly the first time I heard about this news I was skeptical but curious. I read about it and learned many things about this life saving technology and was impressed with this new medical technology innovation. After visiting the website <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=30019&amp;url=http://www.celle.com/index.aspx" rel="nofollow">C'Elle</a>.com, I found out that they provide all kinds of information about the research and benefits of stem cells that can be found throughout menstrual blood. C'Elle.com collects and preserves vital stem cells that are found in the women’s menstrual blood. Cryo-Cell International, Inc. did some studies and research on this stem cell and they found out that it has the potential to save individuals who are suffering from serious and debilitating diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, MS, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's as well as having possible cosmeceutical applications like anti-aging and wound-healing. I was so impressed when I learned that they are giving hope to many people who never thought there would be a cure for those ailments that I mentioned above. The cryo-cell international company should be applauded and supported for their positive breakthroughs in research and good intentions towards those ailing patients.<br /><br />My husband could benefit from this technology because 5 years ago he had heart bypass surgery and since then he has had to take medication until now. The greatest gift I could ever give to my husband is not material things but love and support during his surgery, recovery and now. Anyway, would you like to receive C'elle as a gift from a friend or family member?<br /><br /><map name="map2056"><area shape="RECT" coords="0,0,206,45" href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=30019&amp;url=http://www.celle.com/index.aspx" rel="nofollow"><area shape="RECT" coords="207,0,225,45" href="http://socialspark.com/code_of_ethics" rel="nofollow"></map>

Great food, it was really a dinner food. Everyone brought heavy meals. We had <strong>enchilada, 3 different kinds of hot wings, vegetable salad, pancit, lumpia, macaroni and cheese</strong>. For deserts we have <strong>home made cookies and banana pudding</strong> which is totally different from the pudding that we always see in the buffet. Every thing were home made. Everything was so filling and we all went home with something. We will miss the Sneiders home, ever since I arrived here in the States the book study that we attended is the Sneiders group. Next year’s schedules were changed that’s why I said we will surely miss their home because the book study will be held at the Hall already. </div></div>

I love cats and dogs. We used to have 2 dogs named Rocky and Baron both of them are so loved by our family. We thought them some tricks and they learned it so easily. Baron is a white dog and I think he’s mixed breed and he’s kind of dwarf when it comes to height, while Rocky is the opposite to Baron. Rocky is a big brown dog. Unfortunately they both died from illness and I was so sad when I learned that they both died after a few month of leaving them in my families care. My parents said that they send them to the vet and did their best but our dogs died (in different times). When we went to visit our family back home (Philippines) we saw that they have new dogs, they weren’t friendly when they first saw us but later on th<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EZtamI4Fe80/SVVCVEBUOkI/AAAAAAAACxw/YVQcCBhRQnE/s1600-h/cute_enough_for_blog_background.jpg">. They’re names are Isabella and Bubby and I think they are so adorable. They look so cuddly and look exactly like teddy bears. I’m sure they are entertainer’s kind of dogs. Oh, I would love to have a dog like them because I’m sure they will always entertain me and brighten my day. My toddler would definitely love them for sure because my son is a dog lover as well. They remind me of Baron our dog.

It’s too cold tonight! The news said that it’s gonna be raining tomorrow. Tonight is too cold I don’t feel like going out side but I don’t have choice we have our meeting tonight and we have to be there. I have to warm my son with his winter clothes so he’ll keep himself nice and warm. My hands right now feels like they’re all numb from too cold. I’m not wearing my jacket but I have my snuggly blanket wrapped around my shoulder. Ok guys see you later, I have to go now or might as well say good night for now I’m not sure I’ll turn my pc on later when we get home.

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EZtamI4Fe80/SVF64kuY2AI/AAAAAAAACxY/-oWKufmcaxk/s1600-h/54375_thumb.jpg">Thus, if you are looking for hunting supplies, equipment or security supplies look no further than stores.agmdealtime.com because they have wide selections of those kinds of products, they’re very affordable as well. Their store is indeed a one stop shop for all your tactical gears!

Ever since my son learned how to turn the door knob especially in our bathroom I decided to purchase a plastic door knob. Now, since I put those plastic door knobs he can’t get it to our bathroom anymore. Before I always spank his hand because he when he gets inside the bathroom he will put everything reachable inside the toilet bowl. It’s really upsetting and I was fed up with him doing the same thing. He tries to open the door but unfortunately he couldn’t do it anymore. Tough luck son! For those parents out there who went through with the same situation as i did, i would recommend you to get a plastic door knob, you can get it at wal-mart and it's very affordable.
