Dont let money problem drive you crazy

Some people might think that living in Southern California is always nice and fun.But one thing is for sure! everything here specially in the city I live is expensive.Gas price has gone outrageously high and commodities are going at it’s peak too.Sometimes if I really need to make some cash advance to pay bills i know where to run to.The one company who never gives me hassle when applying for payday loans.And since I am fairly new in the country they never have problem about no credit or having poor credit at all.They only ask to fill out a few questions about me, my employment,financial information and some reference. One thing I like about it too is that I do it online,so I dont have to drive (remember gas is expensive)and get me some pay day loans,I have the convenience of going online and right away they let me know if Im approved or denied.What a discreet way to do cash advance.I know i will always have that security in my heart that somebody when help me with some cash problems that may come along the way,it’s actually just a click away.I think I'm going to spread the words to my friend too because I know a lot of them have trouble making both ends meet.

Oh my

I must have spoiled vaness the past few days when she wasn't feeling well because right now she wont go to bed alone she either wants me to sing to her or rock her.I have to go back to my old routine or else I'm back to where I started.I worked so hard on making sleep on her own in her crib and now I may have to work on it again.I hope everything will go back to normal in the next few days.

Vaness is teething again

First time since she started growing teeth 4 months ago that she never wants to be laid dwon.the only place she wants to be is in my arms.It's not easy, now I know how hard it is to be a mom.I dont blame her, her upper gums are sooo swollen and red.I gave her some tylenol but based on my experience it doesnt work.I dont know why they recommend it really.

Getting a payday loan is so easy

Sometimes there are inevitable things that come your way ,like needing money when payday is a few days away.I know how tough it can be specially if you don't have anyone to run to.I can recommend a site which will surely help you with this kind of problem.You can get cash advance in as short as 24 hours.This is something that wont require so much.You just have to have job for at least 3 months, has a checking account and a minimum salary.I would agree that getting a payday loan is the best solution to your cash emergency needs.You are not even checked for credit.They wont look if your credit is poor or bad.You can get as much as 1500.

You also need to give them few informations about yourself and agree to pay on the date that you have agreed upon.For most people this kind of set-up really works.So if you have monetary emergency and you dont know where to turn to just get payday loans.

vaness at 10 months

She has totally become very active recently that I have to guard her every minute because I dont want to get in trouble wants to crawl everywhere, grab everything and see everything arounb her,Such an inquisitive baby.Her favorite thing to do is grab anything and drop it.She now has 6 visible tiny teeth that she sometimes uses to bite me.Im glad I can still breastfeed her.Time goes so fast she'll be a year old by the end of next month.

holiday shopping



I am starting my holiday shopping early because I dont want to be caught in all the Christmas shopping chaos।Some if which I intend to buy online.It is easier because I don't have to drive,it will be delivered right at my door.I call it "hassle free shopping".My plan is to get Joel a nice nudie jeans.One of my friend recommend it because she bought a couple for her husband and she swears it fit perfect and it did not shrink after laundry.It has been our problem every time we go shop for jeans because Joel can't find the perfect fit. Not to mention, there are a lot of styles to choose from.My friend said it's the latest trend in men's jeans.So I am hoping he will be happy with the nudie jeans. If he wont like it then I guess I'll have to give it to one of my brothers.They will gladly accept it.

While browsing on their site I saw the one brand that I also like,seven for all mankind.I tried this brand of jeans 2 years ago when I went to shop with my friend Jane.I was just trying them on.There is this one jeans that has very elaborate details that I can leave the store without buying it.One of those impulsive shopping moments.Im still using it and it still fits really nice and the color did not change a bit.Now this is going to be fun!I wont just be shopping for Joel's jeans but I will also grab one for myself.

So if you are one of those people who have a hard time finding the right jeans for yourself.Try nudie jeans and seven for all mankind.This are very good quality name brand jeans, you will be proud you own one.So visit www.Tobi.com and talk to one of their stylist and get a recommendation about jeans.

vanessa's first visit to the apple orchard








We went there 2 weeks ago knowing it is already late for apple picking.We still tried because some orchards are still having their won thing going on.Like the orchard that we went to called Riley's Orchard in Oak Glen,they have a petting zoo,a corn field, a raspberry farm,and pumpkin patch and cider making.The one thing that Vaness enjoyed I guess is seeing so many children running back around the whole farm.I guess next year we'll have to go earlier so that she will experience real apple picking like I did 2 years ago.that will be fun because she will be walking by then.

happy 9th month birthday Vaness


3 months more to go an my little baby wont be so little anymore।Sometimes I would wish she's bigger already but sometimes it still feel good when they were little and just always cuddly।Towards her 9th month shelearned how to pull herself up,crawl,bubble more baby words and her communication skill has become more understandable।Like when she wants me to pat her back so that she can fall back off to sleep.She will pat herself in the chest and look at me with the intent that I will understand what she meant.I recently bought her plenty of winter clothes and since she was younger I would let her pick what she wants to wear by showing her 2 items and ask her which one she want.Now she knows that thats what I'm doing.The moment I bring 2 pair of clothing in front of her she will touch one of them.I dont necessarily make her wear what she touched but I want her to understand that she has a freedom to choose.I just read that somewhere and it seems to work.They said that it is a way of letting your child learn that they also have control over some things.

Sleep my darling baby


Sleeping during the day time had always been a challenge to me since vaness is born।She would never fall to sleep on her own unless she is fed,rocked,or in the car seat.I still dont understand why because I have put her in a routine at night which is eat,bath,massage,read,feed then I lay her down to her crib and she falls off to sleep on her own.But day time is a different story.She will only nap for 25 minutes if she is alone in bed or 45minutes to an hour if I lay down with her.I already bought her all things possible to make her stay asleep.A blankie,a plush toy to hug,a CD that emits the noise of a blow dryer(this works for her at night though).

AFter night months of dealing with all this slumber problem.I am so looking forward to her becoming a big girl who wont wake up until you pinch them on their side.hahaha.that picture up there is very memorable for me hehehe because it is the first time she actually fell off to dreamland on her own.

@ pumpkin patch


It was a very nice California day when we decided to bring vanessa to the pumpkin patch।I remember having such a hard time finding a parking since it was a weekend.So we got there and bought some ticket for the rides.It bet it was very exciting for her because of the presence of children who also came by to pick there pumpkin for the halloween.Joel took her to the merry go round and rode on on of those tiny boats.Those we're the 2 rides that she can get on.All the others have height requirement.

time flies so fast

Its been quite an adventure when Vanessa turned 7 months.She started rolling over both ways.She also discovered that she can't just make a sound but she can also scream.SO her screaming has been part of our daily life be it in the market or in the car.She also had her first accident.One morning Joel couldn't find his glasses and he is running late for work.I run out of Vanessa's room to help him find it.Leaving her in bed with pillows surrounding her.After a minute or 2 I run back to her bedroom with her loudest scream and finding her in the floor.I was so scared and promised myself I will never leave her in bed no matter what the circumstances are.She also learned to crab crawl to reach out for things that she wants.Its been fun so far.

Facts Before Vanessa Arrived into this World


I found out I was pregnant-on fathers day of 2006 almost 3 months after Vaness was
conceived.

The doctor told me that my due date was-January 20,2007, She's born 8 days late.

We decided to tell the news to-grandma,Joel sister,Jane Mcneeley,Wilmyn,Kitkit,David
Haldane

After the news was out,we decided to celebrate by-Going to the caribbean...actually we
already got the tickets before we knew that we were on family way.So we went and
so did vaness.She made me throw up everyday during the cruise.

Most interesting fact before Vaness showed up into the world-Joel wasnt so happy about my getting pregnant.He was excited about retiring because we can start travelling more to other countries.he thought Vanessa will be hindrance for us to do that.

Vanessa has 2 older sisters-their names are Jessica and Melissa.

While I was pregnant,I gained-52 lbs..

We first heard her heartbeat-the second time we went to our doctor.I was 16 weeks
pregnant.

We had 2 baby showers-one at our house and another one at Joel's school.

Some not so good part about my pregnancy-severe nausea,headache everyday,vomiting to
the max,backpain,too much swelling of my ankles.

What I like about my pregnancy-Joel eventually loved the thought of having a baby,I dont have to cook dinner,I wasnt expected to clean the house,my friends always make me eat,Vanessa is moving a lot ,i cant wait to see her.

Weekender plan

One of my sleepless mornings.Vanessa decided to wake up at 4:30 and not go back to sleep until 6am.I stood by her, she seems to be teething because she not such a clingy baby until yesterday.I'm just so lucky that Joel is always there when the going gets tough.He got Vanessa at 8:30 ,prepared her breakfast and off they went to visit Ned.(joel childhood buddy).They came back an hour or two later after I cleaned up the bedrooms and the kitchen.That was a relief.
We went to nordstrom cause I wanted to show Joel a leather jacket that I liked.he ended up buying 2 pants,a belt and socks and I changed my mind about the jacket.I didnt like the design and XS is too big for my small frame.When we got home I realized that tomorrow Nida and her husband are coming over for lunch.I have to go to the market today,i dont think I will have the time tomorrow.I have a tennis class at 11-12.So everything is ready for tomorrow except for my chicken curry salad.It's so easy to make Im not worried at all.
Right now Vaness is already in bed and I'm waiting for Joel to come home after a brief visit to his mom's house.I will sleep bett

Happy 8 month birthday Vaness



8 months ago I was in the delivery room not knowing whats in store for me.Only thing I know is I am going to have a baby girl.But when you're in the delivery room,you'll never know what will happen next.First I thought I had it going to deliver normally but a minute later the doctor told me they have to do an emergency ceasarian section.It wasnt something that I look forward to but if it's the only way to get Vanessa out of my tummy then so be it.

But those we're the days.She is now quite a good baby to be around with.She is starting to crawl and understands some words like babye.hi five,kiss doggie,kiss mommy,sarhan ang bintana,patayin ang ilaw.Today we celebrated her birthday by going to her grandmothers house and having some indian food over at the house.It has been very fun with her in our lives.I think she has brought so much happiness to everyone ,my family,joels family my friends ,even the next door neighbor.
