ultimate sport social network

I had become a sports fanatic since I came here in the US because Joel is so into it.Be it basketball, football or any sports that are very competitive and fun.I found out about TAKKLE.com- the ultimate high school sports site.This is a very fun site if you become a member because you are always updated with whats going on in High School Sports all over the country.In this popular site I can see a lot of videos and photos of the athletes on the move which can be very inspiring.

I think that if you are a high school sport fan you should join and become a member because you will be updated with everything from schedule to locations of games.This site also helps coaches find players who can become member of their team.What I like about it for the most part of it is everything I need to know about high school sport is here. TAKKLE will allow fans to track the progress of their favorite players and teams, receive up-dates on stats and games, check profiles of players, view videos and photos that have been up-loaded from recent games, post comments, and add ratings .the site is so easy to navigate too.So if you want to join...visit TAKKLE.com , it's free to join!

lucky girl

we always try not to spoil her.Joel specially.I do spoil her with clothes though and shoes too.I can't help it oh my.I may have to rethink my priorities because she has too much clothing.I may not spoil her with toy and other stuff but clothing?Can't help it! On her birthday we did not plan to do it the way it came out to be.We basically celebrated it for 3 days straight from the 26 to her birthday the 28th.I know she has no idea whats going on but someday when she's big enough to understand she'll realize how lucky she is.

Sick grandma

I think Vanessa is so lucky that despite her always sick grandma, Vaness got to meet her and interacted with her.Mom had all sorts of sickness.She has one problem that really took its toll on her body.She she has been suffering from constipation since she was a teenager and nothing seems to work.One of Joel's friend recommended doing Colon Cleanse by using oxypowder.Our colon is so loaded with toxic elements and we need to clean it so that the body can properly process again.It sure helped mom with her constipation and all the irritation brought by her medical problem.Oxypowder is a top rated colon cleanser and it is guaranteed safe to use.Now mom is going regularly and it never became an issue again.

watching the rain

Kids have a lot of natural curiosity in them so when vaness saw the rain she knew it wa something she has never experienced before.If she were in the Philippines she should have but the there are four season in the US so she only experienced her first rain towards the last month of her first year.She sure stared at it for a long time like it enthralled her for some time.I guess more experience are to come her way as she grows up.

got human touch massage?

I'm talking about the comfort of revolutionary Massage Chairs which we are planning to get one of this days.Joel has been suffering from a lot of back pains and since I had Vanessa I am always too tired to give him a massage myself.So he went online and bumped into humantouch.com, a site which specializes in selling unique, most advanced robotic massage technology and systems in their industry-leading massage chairs.It has been recommended by chiropractors, massage therapist and doctors who knows how it works and effective it is working like a real human massage.If you want to learn more about Human Touch Quality Massage Chairs visit www.humantouch.com and start experiencing great , relaxing massage.

Good morning everyone

I did not expect for this blog to be approve so quick.I submitted this yesterday and I got approved! so this morning I was hoping I'll make a bit of money because I will be busy again.Got to pick up stuff because we are going put of town tomorrow.We are heading up to the mountains.We wanted to show Vaness the snow and have fun .We will stay over night so we will be coming home on monday.

saving for the rainy days

When I started working I immediately got myself Savings Accounts so that I can keep track of my expenses.My other reason would be, so that I can start saving for my future in case of emergency, vacation, plans to buy a car and also for retirement when I get old.I am aware too that putting my earnings in a Savings Accounts is the safest way for me to keep my money.It will earn interest and help other people for loans.savingsaccounts.com.au has helped me a lot with my research about opening an account , they give tips and good ideas about the best way to get a savings account.It is wise to save for the rainy days.

another birthday treat from daddy

We have decided we will give Vaness a 3 day birthday bash.So the next day after her birthday party we went to TGIF to celebrate her birthday again with the waiters singing to her a happy birthday song.They also gave her a good portion of ice cream.next post I will post her exact birthday celebration which we celebrated on the very day she was born.

happy birthday little one

I would have wanted to post the pictures I took tonight because it is her real birthday but then I have not uploaded them so I will post her parties pictures which we took last Saturday.Can't believe how time flies so fast she's ONE! I did a lot of preparation for her party and I'm happy I got through it just fine.It was a very memorable one.We had quite a few visitors and some werent able to make it because of work or previous commitment but I'm glad a lot of my good friends came to celebrate with us.

walking down memory lane

I went to anne sanborn's blog and I can't help but reminisce the time when I gave birth to vaness.I was excited and scared.I had a very quick labor but then when the time came to push vaness would not descend so the gyne decided to take me to the operating room and be done with it.Funny when she came out I blurted "she's white" and everybody had a good laugh.I expected her to be sooo filipino so it was a bit of a shock for me because she looked so fair skinned and she also had such light hair color almost blond.She also let go of the loudest cry I ever hear.I thought oh my God is she gonna be a cry baby?But the no matter how much they fuss, mothers will love them unconditionally.Thats exactly how I felt.

getting there

last night while we were watching the Laker games Vaness walked like 4 steps from Joel to me!we got so excited but she would not do it again.it was just a glimpse of whats to come.I always wish i could take a video or something but she would always do it in the most unexpected moment.By the way it's pouring rain in CA.they said there is a Pacific Storm thats why the rain is supposed to last for days...

thoughts about her Birthday party

everything i almost ready except for the party itself.I am so excited to see her in her chinese inspired dress.Joel and I agreed to have her wear it because I also have one which we got from the Philippines on our honeymoon which I only wore once for the sake of taking a picture.Most of the stuff I need are all in the house including those i ordered online.I will post some pictures after the party but for now all I can do is feel excited my little one is turning a year old.

tambuli

thats the name of the filipino market where I usually take vaness when I need or carve something to eat.It's far from our house so it makes her bored in the backseat.Now she know what entertainment to use so that it wont be so boring.we brong along this pink ball that I got for her yesterday.Except that after a while she throws it on the side and I can't pick it up for her because I'm driving.She just fell off to sleep and woke up when we got to the store.I picked up some pancit ingredients for her birthday.I also got some turon, pandesal, peanut and pitsi-pitsi.

silly girl

yesterday we spent most of the day going from one market to another.I'm glad Joel was off from work it wasn't so hard on me because it was also raining.When we got home both of us (the girls) have to stay on the side line because Joel has to sit down and start preparing our tax materials since he has a meeting with our accountant early next month.He has to do it early because he is preparing tax for us and for his mom.So vaness and I stayed in her bedroom and played most of the time.Actually we either played or napped.I think Joel finally did it at 11pm,that is getting up from the office to eat, pee or talk to us from time to time.

worst morning in 3 months

I had the worst morning in 3 months.Vaness woke up at 4:00 am and keeps waking up every hour.I was beginning to think her teeth must be bothering her again because it was unusual for her to be waking up that much.She must have gotten tired after 7 she slept beside me till 9.That was quite a break and then Joel got her so that I can sleep.I told him I'll check my email first and post this entry.So now I'm off to our bedroom to grab some much needed sleep.

left

One of our friends invited us to play tennis with them in the afternoon, so we left Vaness at ibib's house.We must have left her for 2 hours.They said she did very good..no crying, love to play with Guen (Ibib's daughter).They even took videos of her walking.She can now make small steps which makes us think could be walking pretty soon.Today she did her first 2 steps without holding unto anything or anyone.Which is a big feat for babies.We are so delighted to see her going into this stage.Even if it's sooo hard to capture her on camera because the moment sh sees it she would instantly grab it and forget about her walking.Fun day!

the come back of a bad habit

I know exactly how it happened.She was teething and I can't help but pick her up every time she cries while she's in her crib.So now after months of hard work I'm back to waking up between 5:30-6:00 to feed vaness. and then put her back to her crib so she can go back to sleep.She used to sleep from 7:30-7:00am but now...I have to deal with that early morning thing.I would have wanted to try the reassure with no reward approach except that for sure she will cry and wake Joel up.I guess I'll just have to deal with this.At least she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night.

Standing up alone

Since she turned 11 months she started standing up alone but still very scared to make that big step.I also can't quite capture her in my camera because when she sees it she would right away sit down wanting to grab the camera.I'm not sure if these is a sign that she will be walking soon.It sure is fun to see our baby go through all the milestones.I think that is one joy that a stay at home mom can really enjoy.See your baby go through all those.

first flipflop

I know that the baby books and pediatrician would say " they wont need it till they really start walking" but I do love the flipflop so I got her one and one for my inaanak.She can't keep her eyes and hands off it because of the glitters and everything.I got her a bigger one because she might be using it for now because of the weather.She tried it on and eventually took it off because she wants to eat it rather than wear it.

very nice day!

One of the new years nicest day.Since Joel decided to finish some paperworks with taxes, bills and moms finances Vaness and I went shopping at the nearby Children's place.80% of her clothing must be from that store because it is the nearest to our house ( 7 blocks) and the quality is just fair for the price.She wont be needing expensive stuff she will our grow it as fast as a lightning.Its a very nice day out so we also walked along second street and went in some stores like Gap, banana republic and body works.When we went home Joel is done so we went out to the nearby park to hit some tennis balls.weather is perfect for some fun.we then took Vaness to the park for some swing ride.

birthday invites

Finally I'm done sending out all the invites today.Hopefully people will RSVp so that I will not be guessing if they will come.Some of our friends have confirmed they will come when I delivered the invitations but some probably have some things to do for the weekend.I'm hoping it will be a fun party.It is her first birthday party so we are excited for her.She loves parties and she may not understand yet that this one is for her.For sure she will smile when she see the pictures when she grows up.
