Prescription Eyeglasses

I cannot remember how long my mother has had her prescription eyeglasses. I don't really have any idea how long before you should change eyeglasses if you have one. I think that, over time, the condition of the eyes change and of course, you should also change eyeglasses according to your needs.

My mom has been complaining about her eyeglasses. I told my mom that she should have her eyes checked as soon as possible so she can have her eyeglasses adjusted. She was worrying about the cost. Well, there are affordable eyeglasses available everywhere. Nowadays you can even order prescription eyeglasses online.

To be able to order online, you just need to have a prescription for corrective eyeglass lenses and your pupillary distance.When you have your eyes examined, request your PD (Pupillary Distance) from the person performing your exam. Corrected lens eyeglasses cannot be made without it and knowing what your PD is gives you the power to order your prescription glasses anywhere you want.

Luggage Shopping

We went shopping for some luggage today. Someone will be traveling soon and needed a larger luggage than the one we already have.......it is a pretty tiring day.

Fiesta Ngayon,Madaming Nagkakantahan

Fiesta dito sa amin ngayon at alam nyo naman tuwing fiesta, ang daming nakiki-fiesta. Nagbibigay ng sobre at kanya-kanya ang gimik para kumita. May mga musiko, ati-atihan at mga baklang nagbubuga ng apoy kagaya nung isang taon.

Pero ang raket ng mamang ito yearly ay tumapat, mag-gitara at kumanta. In fairness, maganda ang boses ng mamang ito. Parang si........... Bing Rodrigo...hehehe,Kilala nyo yon? Paborito yon ng nanay at tatay ko. Parati nilang pinatutugtog ang casette tape ni Bing Rodrigo dati.

Anyways, ayan at pagkakita sa kanya ni Ykaie ay agad nitong kinuha ang laruang gitara at ginaya ang mama. Updated si Manong at ang Fiesta Song ay walang iba kundi ang NOBODY. Imaginin nyo ang Nobody..sang in deep, old manly voice...mwahahaha.

------------♥♥♥-------------

Dahil fiesta nga, ang daming nagkakantahan ngayon. Kanya-kanyang labas ng magic sing. Kanya- kanyang biritan kahit na magsilawitan ang mga tonsils. Kanina nga ay nagsipag-kantahan din sila peanutbutter♥, Roman at ate sa loob ng bahay. Haaay, minsan nakakainggit itong mga nakakakakanta na ito. Ewan ko ba kung bakit di ako nabiyayaan ng magandang boses. Sobrang wala ako sa tono pag kumanta -- this is the reason why I don't sing. I could probably write to save a life but I couldn't sing for sour apples. Heck, I couldn't even sing for rotten apples!

Sintunado kung sintunado talaga. Feeling ko.......makakatulong ako sa El Niño Phenomenon.Hahahaha. Di na kailangan ng cloud seeding.

LP: 18 – Batik/ Mantsa (spots, specks)

Ito sina Rad [green]at Kel [red]. Sila ay ang mga sisiw na inilulubog sa pangkulay at kapag nag-MANTSA na ang pangkulay sa kanilang balahibo ay patutuyuin at saka sila ilalako sa daan. Mas attractive kasi sa mga bata kapag nakita ang mga sisiw na iba't iba ang kulay pero pagkalipas ng mga dalawang linggo ay babalik na rin ang dilaw nilang balahibo.

 Sila ang mga bagong alaga ng aking anak na si Ykaie at ng kanyang pinsan na si Chellie. Hay, naku..sa totoo lang ay nakakaawa rin ang mga sisiw na ito. Dahil sigurado namang paglalaruan lang sila ng mga bata.

ito ang aking lahok para sa.Magandang Huwebes!

Kimono Ken

We had an early dinner before watching Percy and the Lightning Thief yesterday. Ykaie wanted some Ramen so off we went to Kimono Ken.Wait till you see what we ordered...

California Maki [P125]

Crabstick, mango, lettuce with Japanese mayonnaise and tobiko. I love California Maki, this is a must when dining japanese.

Gomoku Ramen [P200]

Salt based soup with mixed seafood, chicken and vegetables. This is good for sharing and it was divided between peanutbutter♥, Ykaie and me.

Ebi Tempura [P300]

Tempura is one of those japanese dishes that peanutbutter♥ loves. Kimono Ken's Tempura is perfect!

Yaki Soba [P165]

Sauteed noodles, porkloin and vegatables. My MIL's order.Maybe I was already full when I tried this but I prefer Bubble Tea's Yakisoba over this one.

Yaki Udon [P175]

Sauteed thick white noodles with porkloin and vegetables. I know, it looks radioactive.Sorry for the over-exposed photo and thanks to my FIL for being supportive over my blog. By the way, this is his order. I love Udon but their version is too sweet for me.

If you will notice, we had oodles of noodles...we didn't notice until the orders arrived. Everything we ordered were meant for sharing and we finished everything! If I eat like this everyday, I'll be needing some serious Cosmetic Surgery. I am so glad I only do so when we go out.

Movie and Noodles Night

Just got home from watching Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief with peanutbutter♥, Ykaie and my ILs.

Too tired to elaborate. will update tomorrow..Promise...
I didn't know that the movie has a Greek Myth theme. The gods and goddesses and Medusa. I used to love reading Greek Myth when I was in highschool and seeing it with such a modern twist was nice.

Si Ykaie? as usual ay tulala sa ma-aksyon na part ng movie pero pagdating sa mga parts na walang aksyon ay daldal ng daldal at napaka-gulo. She took home lots of candies.

We had an early dinner at Kimono Ken. Ewan ko ba at kung bakit puro noodles and na-order namin .

P.S. Nagsimula na naman yata ako mag-collect ng earrings. 

A Valentine Card

What Chellie and Ykaie did this morning.....

Chellie is my niece who calls me mommy and thinks Ykaie is her sister. She surprised me yesterday by giving me a Valentine Card she made in class from school!

Isn't she the sweetest? This made my heart melt like marshmallows..

She also made one for peanutbutter♥...

GT: Who’s your Valentine’s Date for 2010?

Naku, di yata kami makakapag-date ngayong Valentine's Day at Purita-Amor kami..hahahaha. Seriously, di talaga kami nagde-date ng eksaktong Valentine's Day dahil siksik, liglig at umaapaw ang lahat ng establishments tuwing sasapit ang araw ng mga puso. Mapa-restaurant, sinehan, hotel o motel man, akala mo ay may rally kapag dumarating ang February 14.....hahahahaha.

Nakakahilo at sagad-sagaran din ang mga naka-pula. Kahit san ka lumingon ng araw na yan siguradong meron at merong nakapula........hmmmnnnn, makapag-suot nga ng pula sa Feb 14..hahahaha

Heniways, Siguro date ko si peanutbutter♥ at si purple kung makikisabay man kami sa rumaragasang agos ng mga tao..

Some Pictures from Bianca's Party

I wasn't able to catch the birthday girl pero na-picture-an ko naman ang mga clown at ang payat na si Barney...

This party became bonding time for Ykaie and Sydney. Sydney is Ninang Sharon's daughter.

" Ykaie, painom naman..tubig ko yan"

Si Yk, ayaw mag-pose.Si Syd naman ganado..

Ykaie and peanutbutter♥. Blurry ang picture kasi everytime na makikita ni Ykaie na pipicturan sya, umaalis sya.

Kainan na!!!

Syempre ayaw kainin ni Ykaie yung Spaghetti na red ang sauce. peanutbutter♥ has to get her spaghetti without sauce.

Tuesday

The day started out okay today...I had toast for breakfast.. then

peanutbutter♥, sis and I had grilled corn and chicken barbecue for lunch....
Next thing I know we're having pizza and ice cold coke come late afternoon courtesy of sis. Ooopps, there goes another cheat day....then a package from my aunt arrives and you know what that package has for us???
Boxes  of chocolates!!

This is one of those chocolates that we got! I have to keep myself from digging into those goodies. I have to be satisfied on eating just a piece per day...
*Sigh* You think a food journal's effective?

Of Letters in Mailboxes

We are living in an age where snail mails are almost completely forgotten. Letters can be sent through e-mails and of course, there are e-cards available whenever there are special ocassions. It's nice to receive some traditional greeting cards in the mail from time to time, though.

In the old times and in some countries do you know that there are different mailboxes that symbolizes the economic status of the homeowners? The color  of emperor's mailbox is Blue and it has many designs to show how rich they are. Today, Mailboxes are still maintained at home. Usually that is where the mailman puts the bills and some snail mails, if there are any.

Mailboxes can be made of plastic, stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized steel.My mailbox here at home is red in color and is made of steel.I prefer a mailbox made from steel because they are somehow weatherproof. They can stand a lot of sunshine, rain and wind. It is also durable.I just wish more people would send me letters and cards.

Experience CHOCOLATE HEAVEN

The latest cake from red Ribbon was launched yesterday evening --Chocoholics, rejoice! Chocolate Heaven is here and it's here to stay. This new cake is made up of four kinds of chocolate: chocolate brownie, chocolate mouse, chocolate icing and chocolate curls. What a sweet way to fire up the love month! *wink *wink

It is the most chocolate-full and yummy-full Red Ribbon cake! I think its a softer or lighter version of the Chocolate Walnut Fudge Cake last Christmas so if you missed it, better grab one of these.

Chocolate Heaven will be available in all Red Ribbon Stores starting February 07,2010 at P560.00 for Regular Size and P335.00 for Junior size.

an entry for .Have a great weekend everyone!

This is a little freaky and a little sad..

This happened just an hour ago.. My daughter, Ykaie has coughs and cold today so hindi ko sya pinaliguan. Inupo ko sya sa may estante malapit sa sink, kasi balak ko dun ko sya punasan at i-toothbrush. While I was brushing her teeth, tumingala sya at tumingin dun sa hagdan namin, yung bandang nasa taas na [second floor]:

Ykaie: Mommy, sino nasa taas?
Me: Si daddy..
Ykaie: mommy, sino nasa taas?
Me: Si daddy nga, natutulog..
Ykaie: no, stand-up..yun o [sabay turo sa may baluster na nasa 2nd floor]

I was startled because nobody was there.Ibig sabihin may nakikita sya. I didn't show her anything different about what she was seeing kasi ayoko syang matakot. But I had goosebumps. Nakakalurky!

Me: Sino na sa taas? Boy or Girl?
Ykaie: Girl
Me: Ano itsura?
Silence- Siguro di nya mai-describe..

Me: Is it Lola or Tita? [I asked this because I was trying to gauge the age of the person she was seeing]

Ykaie: Tita
Me: Tita ano? what's her name?
Ykaie: Tita ano...ano...

I think this was when she realized na di nya kilala kung sino ang nakikita nya so she began to crawl papunta sa sink tapos ayaw nya na tumingin sa taas.Nilinisan ko na lang sya. Tapos I told her na nandun lang ako.Normal reaction and emotion lang ako kasi I don't want her to be scared. I told her to "tell mommy everything that she sees". I asked her to look up again and tell me kung nandun pa. Wala na daw.

~♥~

I think it was my Tita Celia that she saw. She is my favorite Tita when I was a little girl. Kasi sya yung katabi ko matulog most of the time. I really don't know kung ilang taon sya when she died but she died in London, when I was 10 years old .

This incident made me think about her and why she's "visiting" us. I think she wants to see Ykaie and me. Or maybe its about her bed. Her room became my room when she left for London. Yung bed na iniwan nya sa akin, yun pa rin yung gamit namin until last Sunday. I loved that bed kasi sobrang lambot. Di ko ipagpapalit yung bed na yun kahit na lumang-luma na. But It was soo worn -out and babagsak na talaga. So I had to buy a new one, and it was delivered last monday.The old bed was thrown out pero hindi pa na-pick-up ng basurero until 9am this morning.

That bed was the last thing that she owned in that room and it just makes me sad to think na siguro feeling nya I was saying goodbye to her. Of course not, she will always be remembered. Nothing could erase her from our memory, specially from mine. I am teary-eyed as I'm writing this...

GT: Describe your One True Love

Hmmnnnn... dahil ba sa buwan ng pagmamahalan kaya't ito ang topic natin?? How do I describe my one true love?.......my peanutbutter♥? Syempre, kaya nga natin sila pinakasalan ay dahil we find them SWEET, UNDERSTANDING, RESPONSIBLE, THOUGHTFUL, CARING AND most of all, GWAPO.[kilig* kilig*] Pero there are other characteristics na talaga namang kakaiba.... eto na..

♥  Malakas ang TOYO ni peanutbutter♥. Matatalo ang pabrika ng Silver Swan sa lakas/dami ng toyo ng taong ito oras na sumpungin sya..
♥ Masarap mag-masahe si peanutbutter♥..lahat na lang dinaan sa masahe kesyo magtampo ka, magalit ka, mainis ka, --he would massage his way out of it...hmmmnnn.. magtayo kaya ako ng Spa?
♥ Minsan kapag kinakausap mo sya, may delay bago sya sumagot, parang..........internet na mabagal ang connection,hehehe....... pero sumasagot naman.
♥ Masungit yan...Minsan akala mo meron sya o kaya  magme-menopause na sa sobrang sungit.
♥ Nuknukan ng Kulit yan.....dati akala ko makulit na ako..SUS! Meron pa palang mas makulit sa akin!
♥ Super Nega sya...as in NEGATIVE!  Buti na lang nga at very POSITIVE person ako..Oh diba, bagay talaga kami?

Minsan may mga moments talaga na ang sasarap kutusan o sakalin ng mga TL [as in True Love] natin pero di naman natin ginagawa minsan yun yng mga moments na kapag binalikan natin, eh mga moments na masasaya.
MAHAL na MAHAL na MAHAL ko yang si peanutbutter♥. I'm taking all of the above and more....

my entry for .Happy Thursday,gurls!

Thanks for the Cheese

 

What's great about being a foodie is that you get nice foodie friends. Yesterday, I got a little block of Rizza's favorite cheese. It's extra sharp cheddar cheese that tastes almost like parmesan cheese.

It was very thoughtful of you, Riz. Dinaan mo pa dito. I was surprised and touched at the same time..

--Oh and another thing about foodie friends? Foodie friends lets you taste what's in their foodie world.

Rizza is the author of the blog Life is Fun.

Taking a break from work?

A few years ago my mom and dad went to California to visit my aunt, who is my mom's sister, and for a vacation. My aunt took them to places she knew they would enjoy. Places they haven't seen and places where tourists go.

Las Vegas is one of the places where my aunt took them. The Las Vegas Strip is known to be the location of many of the largest hotels, resorts and casinos in the world. They had to drive all the way from California, and since my aunt doesn't own a car, they had to rent one. I think its okay to use a rental car if you're going to use it only for a couple of days but if you're going to use it for how many days, it gets expensive. It would be wise to use coupons like Enterprise Car Rental coupons. You can get as much as 50% savings on weekends and $25 to $75 less for long term rentals.

Another wise thing to do if you're going to Vegas and you are on a tight budget is to use Las Vegas Coupons. You can use it to avail of cheaper vacation packages, spa services or even discounts at your favorite resorts and hotels. These coupons would make it easier for you to take a break from work and enjoy a few days off.
