M on his way home. Ah, it's really late, but he had to do a last run this afternoon and it would take him 5 hours to get it done. He is just working so hard. I ask myself if he somehow needs testosterone booster. I decided to wait for him even though I feel a little sleepy. I will probably watch a movie until he arrives. So yeah, I guess celebrity news would keep me entertain as well. I was just reading a few articles that caught my attention. Drama... drama... drama... it never ends. A lot of us are so fascinated with their lives even though we don't know them at all.

Oh my little guy is already asleep and dad isn't home yet. He is just too tired to wait up for dad. Sleep tight little man. Jb's swimming lessons went great earlier and I can tell all the kids had so much fun. I love how the coaches interacted with the kids and get involve. I like the game time as well. My little guy just started level 3 and the drills are a little bit intense for a 7 year old boy; But I know he's so determined to learn. On the other hand, I just put the phone down and had an hour conversation with my family. My nephew is just growing so fast. He's definitely the apple of everyone's eyes @ home now. I do miss everyone and to remind myself again; I'm 10,000 miles away from my family. Overall it was wonderful hearing from them!

I bet many of us also heard successful stories from people venturing
apidexin or any forms of diet pills available in the market today. Dieting by definition is to cause to eat and drink sparingly or according to prescribe rules. I'm so thankful that I don't have to worry about gaining weight overnight. I know many of you struggled obesity since you were little. Growing up I don't have to worry a single thing with regards to losing and gaining weight; But to others it became a very challenging battle. It's because their everyday lifestyle is affected; not just health but some of them can't function normally and they are emotionally drained as well. Thus, staying fit and healthy is really important. We should enjoy life!

Yay, get the best fat burning supplements ready. Jb and I are enjoying Thai Mango Chicken and Thai Coconut Curry for lunch today. My little guy loves the spicy flavor. Ever since he was little he can really handle hot and spicy foods just like mommy. He deserves a decent food today since he was such a great helper. My little helper woke up early and helped mom organize his school stuff especially those artworks from a year ago. I got to get rid of a few of them since there is just too many to keep and we don't have space anymore for the new ones this year. He was quite agreeable! We then watched a movie LOTR-The Return of The King. The final battle for Middle-earth begins. Frodo and Sam , led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the Ring-bearer may complete his quest. This was so mesmerizing to watch. Masterpiece at its best!

Mr. and Mrs. Smith has it all and is a great movie for date night. There is someone for the guy to watch, because he gets to look at Angelina Jolie. There is someone for the girl to watch, she gets to look at Brad Pitt. If the date is the flop the couple always has a good movie full of action, violence and romance.

The movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith has great one liners like “Who's your daddy” and then a fight between the couple takes place and after the question “Who's your daddy now?” gets asked. There is great background music as the couple fights not only each other but the many spies who are chasing them down.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a tongue in cheek movie that shows any couple can make it even if it is just them against the world. It is a good date movie because people can watch it without feeling that it gets overly romantic and it has a fast pace that is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. Women like the fact that Angelina is a strong lead figure, while men like the fact that they don't have to sit through a romantic feel good comedy. I like the fact that I can watch it whenever I want on Direct.TV in the comfort of my own home, with my date.

Ah, I just checked out closeout clothing in one of my favorite stores. I can't resist. Turned on the TV and watched Bedtime Stories with my boy. I just finished searching more family movies and reserved it from the library, So this was it... Funnyman Adam Sandler stars in Walt Disney Pictures' Bedtime Stories, the magical family comedy that's packed with adventure and lots of heart. When Skeeter Bronson babysits his sister's children, his imagination runs wild as he dreams up elaborate bedtime stories-always casting himself as a hero. Entranced, the children add their own ideas to these once-upon-a-time tales of heroics and chivalry. Then... magic happens. These nighttime fantasies become skeeter's daytime realities, leading him on a real-life adventure on search of his own happy ending. Filled with colorful characters, humor and whimsy, this heartwarming comedy will enchant your entire family again and again.

M got 4 tickets for the Texas Rangers vs LAA game tonight. My little guy don't want to watch the game. He said it's probably going to be boring; hehehe... I don't feel like going either, so dad called his friend and let him use the tickets instead. I remember last two years ago when we went and watched the Dallas Stars. JB decided to leave in less than 30 minutes we were seated. I don't want that to happen again and besides we're not really into sports. M doesn't want the tickets go to waste, so he insisted to call his friend and let them enjoy the game tonight. My friend called to see if could watch a movie. I'm kind of stuck here right now doing my Sunday routine and trying to squeeze in blogging at the same time. We're trying to organize things around and cleaning up some mess because there are going to be changes in the apartment soon. The manager wants to repaint the place and that would be a hassle moving stuff around. I don't know how are we going to do this, but wether we like it or not. We're going to do this or else this won't be done; Plus we need new paint badly. Let's see how the rest of my Sunday goes.

Most people today are looking for some magic formula to grow wealthy. It seems as though they have forgotten the principles that made our country strong. Our forefathers worked very hard and lived frugally. As a result they put money aside to invest in stocks of solid growing companies. Our generation has even more tools available now. Today we have IRA accounts, 401K's and online trading accounts with great analytical charts to help us reach success in our online investing. My husband is still very hopeful that one day he will be very successful when it comes to Stock Trading. The past years had been really a challenge for him. We see the amount go up and down and it's scary to think that all he has saved up is gambled through buying stocks. Like what he said; This definitely isn't an overnight success. Time will tell and I guess we will keep working hard to reach our goals and see our investments soar.

Valley Of The Wind is another favorite of ours. Just finished watching with my boy. We're really enjoying HM's animated films. A thousand years after a global war, a seaside kingdom known as the Valley Of The Wind remains one of only a few areas still populated. Led by the courageous Princess Nausicaa, the people of the valley are engaged in a constant struggle with powerful insects called Ohmu, who guard a poisonous jungle that is spreading across the Earth, Nausicaa and her brave companions, together with the people of the Valley, strive to restore the bond between humanity and the Earth.

My favorite game show would have to be Wheel of Fortune. This show is hosted by Pat Sajak and the beautiful Vanna White. I enjoy playing along with this show trying to guess the words before the contestants do. Every night around dinner time, I turn on my Satelite TV and watch this show.

In this show there are three contestants who compete against each other. They are asked to spin the wheel, and then pick a letter. When they spin the wheel , it lands on a money amount. For each correctly guessed letter, that amount is awarded per letter. If the contestant lands on bankrupt, they will lose all that they have accumulated from this round. There are also several prizes on the wheel. If you land on a prize you pick it up and keep it if you guess the letter correctly. If you win the round, the money and prizes you have collected are yours to keep. I love to play along with this show, in fact, I usually can guess the words before the contestants do.

The most exciting part of the game is the final round. The contestant who won the most money combined out of all the rounds will play in the finals. They are asked to pick three letters and a vowel in addition to the R,S,T,L,N,and E that are already up on the board. They are given thirty seconds to guess the word and win the final prize. The prize is usually a large amount of money or a vehicle. I have seen people win $100,000 in the final round. This show is amazing!

I noticed this month has been pretty good. At least I don't get those big size pimples really. As long as I will keep my face clean and moisturize it everyday. I feel great. I always leave it fresh and clean, so the dirt won't settle in especially before bedtime. If you have acne you definitely need Acneticin. On the other hand, what an awesome topic on Oprah today; Both M and I watched. We definitely learned something at the end of the show. Moving on, I'm just scanning the front page of OMG and saw a video of David Beck and out of curiosity I went ahead and click the link. It was actually an interview of him and oh that cute English accent. I adore him and I know most of his fans are fascinated with him. So yeah, that was a good 15 minute treat listening him answer the questions thrown at him by his fans. My little guy is calling me now. Have a great night!

I'm currently reading an article about hgh supplements; For some reason I got interested while browsing earlier. Just got back from school. I had my second dose of Hepatitis A/B, administered by the school nurse. One more shot for MMR in August 6 plus my last dose of Hepatitis A/B then I'm good to register in September. I'm excited to finally start working and save money, so I have enough when my parents will come over. While at school, I was going to register my little for the Summer Youth Program 'Little Actors on Stage" @BC, but he insisted he will wait next year for a guitar or piano lessons. The class is $120 for 5 days, so I need to make sure it's something he would want to do. He specifically said this afternoon that he will pass for the acting class for now. I left school with the copy of my immunization and M dropped us off. He then proceeded to downtown to deal with some paperwork he needs for work before the orientation on Wednesday. I didn't even notice how time flies so fast. It's time for dinner in an hour.

Off to check prototype 37 c quick. I heard a knock on the door and rushed to see who it was. It's the mail man delivering a package. I was wondering what could it be inside. I opened it quickly and it's the wok that Dad ordered a week ago. We both love going to Chinese restaurants and stir-fry is definitely something we enjoy. We will try to cook our own version of a few of our favorites and see how it goes. Consumers really rated it high, but I guess it's still up to the cook. We're only mediocre when it comes to cooking, so this is going to be an interesting test. Eating healthy foods and less junk foods that's our main goal this year and so far so good. There is still nothing like home-cooked meals.

I don't find all days to be very amusing. I know there are a lot of things to complain about. As a mom it would probably the never ending chores that makes me so exhausted; But sometimes little things like pimples irritate me as well. I definitely don't have a bad case of acne, but when a single pimple appears; It just totally freaks me out. I don't like scars. If you have acne I suggest using acne cleanser after washing your face each day. In fact, last spring I was bitten by chiggers and the scars are absolutely hideous, that I have to religiously apply coco butter now, so the scars will disappear. I have friends who aren't very happy with the outcome of this so called inflammation of the skin glands and I wish I could help them by recommending products that really work.

Just got back from the movie theater {AMC 16}. Jb and I watched Despicable Me. Oh, if you haven't seen it yet; You better plan on going. It's absolutely hilarious. I was totally surprised how the movie turned out. There's also sad moments in it. But what an awesome way to bond with my boy. He absolutely loved it and I am glad I was the one who accompanied him. It was totally worth it. The fun continous as we're waiting for another adventure with stunning artistry blends with epic storytelling to play. On the other hand, my friend and I can't seem to stop talking about diet pills that work. We're both in the quest to lose these extra pounds we're carrying. Mine is at least 10 lbs. but I'm positive once I start going to school. I'll probably be too stressed out to even notice my body's changes. I know from my passed experiences that too much stress can make my weight change drastically. Good luck to me.

Anyone familiar of the Symbol LS2208? Anyway, here's another enchanting animation we all loved. I'm having a slight vertigo after watching 4-5 movies straight, but it was all worth it. I just need an eight hour sleep tonight. During summer vacation, a schoolgirl named Shizuku, who longs to discover her true talents, observes an odinary looking cat riding by himself on the train. Intrigued, she decides to follow him. This chance encounter leads her to the mysterious Seiji, a boy who is determined to follow his dreams, and the Baron, a magical cat figurine who helps her listen to the whispers in her heart. Soon, Shizuku's exciting adventures carry her far beyond the boundaries of her imagination.

My little guy can't wait to have his own netbook or a laptop computer, so he can watch his favorite TV shows on his computer. It's one of his favorite past-times. Rarely does a film touch so many hearts or reach such artistic heights as the highly acclaimed Kiki's Delivery Service, the magical adventure of an enterprising young girl who must follow tradition to become a full-pledged witch.Venturing out, with only her chatty black cat Jiji, Kiki flies off for the adventure of a lifetime. Landing in a far-off city, she sets up a high-flying delivery service. Here begins a wonderful experience of independence and responsibility as she finds in the world. This is an acclaimed movie that soars with energy, excitement and the kind of imagination that entertains again and again.

I was just about to read this colon cleanse reviews and my little guy wanted to watch a film. I got hooked watching Miyazaki's animated films lately. Jb and I both loved Spirited Away and started borrowing the rest of the DVDs from the library. Now we got other four movies to watch. The magic touch of master Hayao Miyazaki is visible from start to finish in Castle In The Sky- an imaginative tale full of mystery and adventure. The high-flying journey begins when Pazu, an engineer apprentice, finds a young girl, sheeta, floating down from the sky, wearing a glowing pendant. Together, they discover both are searching for the legendary floating castle, Laputa, and vow to unravel mystery of the luminous crystal around her neck. Their quest won't be easy, however. There are air pirates, secret agents and astounding obstacles to keep them from the truth- and from each other.

I can still remember when I first took my prenatal vitamin. I don't normally take any kind of medicine unless I'm having a really terrible headache. If I feel like it's not even necessary then I don't really bother taking one. But when it comes to vitamins and if you're an expectant mother; You got to do everything to stay healthy for the sake of your child. These vitamins are safe and healthy for you. Iron intake is also important during pregnancy as we all know it's a mineral that makes up an important part of hemoglobin, the substance in blood that carries oxygen throughout the body.

Ah, it could have been a problem if this tiny piece of supporting document for my papas DS-230 wasn't included. I mailed the rest of documents and the photos were nowhere to be found. I remembered two hours after that I kept the photos in the pocket of my purse. M rushed back to the PO to see if the package wasn't picked up yet and had to pull a few strings so the mail lady would open the mail box for him. Thank God he was able to put it together. I'm emotionally drained making sure I'll get papas stuff send on time and get it right this time. I don't want to screw it up. I have a feeling it will be over soon and someone will get his appointment letter for interview. Looking forward to today's schedule. I got to stick with it or else my chores won't be done again. Plus I got movies I rented from the library, so I'll take time to watch a few later today. Got so many things to do. We have a bedroom we need to clean up and get it ready for paps; Old stuff to throw and just really organize things in general. My little guy seems to enjoy making a mess. Off to prepare breakfast!

When it comes to moving into a new home there are things you may not think about that you will need to do, no matter how well organized you are. One of the first things I forgot to do was find out if there was cable service in my new area and how I would get my internet service connected. The whole ordeal turned out to be very time consuming. I wish I had done my homework before my move so things would have gone a little smoother. I got the clear internet bundle, of course. The electric was actually turned on a few days prior to the move so it was not a problem checking all my appliances as they were delivered and installed. I only wish the air conditioner unit had been installed so the home could be nice and cool and comfortable for the delivery drivers, my family and friends who helped and of course our animals. Hopefully I will not be moving for quite a while but if I do I have a new list of things that should be done when moving into a new home.

I'm getting reading for my swimming class in less than an hour. I have to take my little guy with me since dad won't be home before 8:30 am. I had 4 hours of sleep since I was up very late last night and someone woke me up just in time to prepare for today's class. Thanks to my little guy. He just moved up to level 3 and I'm sure his class is going to be a little intense, which we're all excited about. I wanted him to learn and practice makes it perfect. It's been a really super HOT summer, but I think we've really enjoyed this year's activities. It's been a busy one, but it's all worth it. Again, so much to do in a little time; Without knowing August will start and my little guy will be back in school again. I, myself has plans for continuing my education, so I'm going to be busy starting in September. I know it's going to be a challenge, but I'm ready to face it and no time to monkey around.

What's the best prenatal vitamins available in the market today? Gosh, when was it when I had my first child. My sister keeps asking me when to get pregnant again and told her I don't have any plans yet. My family wanted a girl, but nope career first. No plans of getting pregnant anytime soon. Anyway, my friend and I took the kids to watch 'Grown Ups' and we definitely loved it. Screw the bad reviews; If you want to laugh for an hour then you better watch it. Looking forward to going to the theater again on Friday. I got my temporary rewards card and hoping to accumulate more points. That's definitely one thing to look forward to. Seriously, I'm still up. I got swimming lessons in the morning and I'm really going to be tired afterwards. Hubby has interview on Thursday, so he is such a busy man since yesterday driving around. Thanks for the help. I couldn't have not done it without your support M. Good luck on your plans this week.

Wednesday nights are family nights at my house. The one night a week we turn off our cell phones, and close down our computers and game systems. We enjoy dinner at the dinner table, talking about the previous week highlighting our highs and lows and just generally re-connect and enjoy each other's company. After dinner we enjoy a movie. This week we rented UP, on Demand, which we got through the current direct tv offers. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! For an animated movie it was wonderfully touching!

The movie is about a retired balloon salesman, named Carl, who ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies off to Paradise Falls. He meets Russell, an over eager 8 year old Wilderness Scout who is hiding under Carls house when he takes off on his adventure!

Along the way they meet Kevin, a rare 13-foot tall flightless bird who loves chocolate, and a dog named Dug with a special collar that allows him to speak. Dug has an aversion to squirrels so he freezes and points at them every time he sees one. Now my son will randomly screech out “squirrel” and we’ll both crack up!

Carl was married to his childhood sweetheart Ellie, who passes on and is the primary motivator for Carl setting out on this grand adventure. He is keeping a promise he made to Ellie when they were children, that he would take her to Paradise Falls . The story spans their entire life, from meeting, marriage and beyond. I recommend it for everyone! This is a great family night movie that everyone will enjoy!

Got to stay up late because I'm trying to finish assembling my dad's immigration requirements. This was what I did pretty much the whole day yesterday. I think reading the instructions takes longer than filling out the forms actually. I just want to make sure I don't miss a single question. That's going to be a hassle if it happens. Ah, finally I'm down to I-864 and tomorrow this will be mailed. I hope everything goes well and NVC won't need anymore additional supporting documents. Next will be the interview to worry about. I've been so caught up with a lot of things and it seems like I have a bunch to do everyday. I really don't know what else to do once school starts. It's going to be exhausting, but I'm more excited about going back to school and pursue a degree; Since it's medical related I need to update my immunization record and I've had 4 shots already. Two more doses for Hepatitis A/B and I'm good to register. Too bad I can't register in July. We will see how it goes and I will update you'll soon.

I don’t watch much television but last night I was in dire need to veg-out with a good drama. Since I have satellite TV from www.direct.TV I can watch movies on demand, I was able to pick something good.

Ever since I saw the episode of "the View" with Sandra Bullock and the real-life family that the movie "The Blind Side" was based off of, I have wanted to watch it on the big screen. Sadly, I’m not very good with scheduling time to get out to the movie theatre, so I missed my chance.

Time passed, the begun winning awards, and my desire to watch grew stronger. Yet still, I have trouble fitting things like this into my schedule. Finally, I was sitting with nothing better to do, and realized that I can get the movie on demand. I had no more excuses!

Personally I think this was the absolute best performance I have ever seen from Sandra Bullock. She captured the spirit of the main character beautifully. I wish I could have gotten to know this character personally though, as some of her behavior just seems outrageous! In the movie, the character didn’t seem to have much regard for her personal safety. It left me wondering if this was one area that may have been exaggerated for the sake of the movie.

"The Blind Side" is one movie that I would recommend seeing. If I could go back in time I might have made time to see it on the big screen, but catching it on demand is the next best thing.

Oh, I'm not surprised... Tx has unpredictable weather. One day it's hot and the next day it rains. Time flies so fast. June is finally over and I know July will come by very fast. I'm excited because I'm planning something I might be able to pursue starting this month and I hope it's going to continue on. I'm doing it for my son. I know M is going to be proud. My little guy will be in second grade in August and he will be in school for 8 hours. I just got to do something productive while he is at school learning. Plus we have P's immigration thing we're waiting for. I hope things will fall in the right place. My birthday month was awesome I'm telling you. Lots of activities here and there. Even though M is always busy @ work, but we've pulled it off.

I'm wondering if I need prototype 37c. I'm just about to go to the store and buy other cosmetics. My sisters requested nail polish, lip gloss and body wash. Those are probably the last things I need to get before I will tape the box and it will be shipped next week. One month is a long wait, but they're going to be patient. Then, surprises, surprises... They each specifically want shoes, so I bought sandals for mom and sisters and then athletic shoes for the guys. I know they will be grateful for every item they will receive. I really hate the process of packing, but I love shopping. I'm not sure if I will sending a package in December though. Off to feed my hungry little guy.

I'm hooked watching The Dr. Oz Show @ channel 52. Both M and I are watching each night and we really love how he focuses about health and these are really crucial information that everybody should know. One of the things he discussed on last night's episode was hair thinning and now I know more about hair growth shampoo. He mentioned that pulling our hair too much could cause such damage and could trigger hair loss. I love the show because it's very educational and we've learned so much. Since we want to focus on a healthy diet last Wednesday's episode really caught our attention. These are things that I just don't pay attention before and it's really important to know the basics like home remedies and other things involving major sicknesses and by embracing a healthy lifestyle may really save our lives in the future.

Ah, I'm kind of lazy to do something earlier today. My little guy wanted to go to the theater to watch 'Grown Ups' but didn't feel like going. I told him we will go tomorrow instead and if not maybe on Sunday. I already got the laptop I'm going to send along with the gazillion items I'm going to put in the balikbayan box. I got a lot of old stuff that are still very useful and spending $120 for shipping is definitely worth it. I wish I can still wear my old jeans, but can't avoid gaining weight and I guess size 3 isn't that bad. I probably have 60 jeans sizes 0-2 that I can't wear right now and decided to send a few of those. These are like $50-$70 jeans. Too bad I can't wear them. I have one nephew who can benefit my little guy's old clothes as well, so I'm sending pretty much everything he can't wear anymore; And of course it won't be complete without the chocolates. They definitely love those sweat streats and some VS products that they will be excited about. I saved a lot on most of those items I bought since I shopped during the semi-annual sale. Great stuff coming their way. PC is back, so I'll be online for awhile before dinner. Looking forward to doing more during the holiday weekend.
