Free yourself

My mom and i was on the phone last night talking about her sister in America and how she has been doing. It seems she is doing good for herself and her family has acquired a few assets that they can call their own. Having your own house and car really can spell a difference and she was happy to have made the purchase. But i remember a few months back when she had some problems with her credit reputation and was finally able to deal with it by having to undergo credit repair with a good and reputable company ... and now she is able to gain what they have lost in terms of credit standing.

She was so inspired in sharing to my mom and her friends as well and she gave out this important piece of advise ... to fully scrutinize your credit report and have the right to question the veracity of it too. You have every right to seek out clarifications as sometimes there could be errors to the report especially since it is computer generated, a small error would lead to a big loss for you and your family. She suggested to ask for a free credit report available online so you can start assesing your credit score and have it corrected as soon as possible if it is displaying some discrepancies somewhere. If you really have commited some credit blunders, not all is lost as help is also available. You just have to get yor finances in check and consult a professional and you will be able to keep it back on the right track.

My Tita now is reaping the fruits of labor by checking her credit report and dealt with it in a legal and professional manner. The last thing she told my mom was that their family is looking at the possibility of travelling for leisure as soon as the my cousins go on summer break!

Passing on this tag to fellow mommy bloggers jacqui and Divine

Wide array of cellphones

This Saturday at the mall i spent a considerable amount of time searching for the perfect cellphone for my new line. Was looking at the attractive cellphones, with the interchangeable casing, cell phone amplifiers, keychains and other added accesories that will make my new cellphone look even better! Will post picture of my new toy as soon as i decide on what exactly to buy ... there are a lot of choices!

TGIF

Yahoo! It is friday once again ... makes me feel like a high school student .. hahaha!

No more waking up at 5:30 am to prepare baon , can rest for two days!

Our weekends are well spent .. well planned too!

Tomorrow, we will AGAIN be going to Manila Ocean Park (kasi di ko matiis na di nakapunta si Bea, plus i feel for her when we are viewing our pictures - the ones without her) so tomorrow we will go at 10:00 in the morning. We will meet up with their cousins as well.

Then at 2:00 pm we are off to the Nickelodeon event "Let's go out and play" at the Fort, Makati. Will also meet my clients for delivery and queries after 5pm at Rockwell.

What a busy Saturday ... Sunday is another story .. hehehe!

At last our book

Yehey!

At last was able to make a mini book (10 pages) for the three kiddies. So happy with the outcome too!

Look at it and then me what you think ha!

Glass Bottom Boat

We rode the glass bottom boat at the ocean park too! The kids had a great time ssing the fish in a different way ..heheh! Here are pictures of their great boat ride!

Ocean Park Adventure

To those who are thinking of going to the Ocean Park, here is my take on it ... GO! hahaha!

Your kids (including yourself) will enjoy it! We were fortunate to visit the place na walang tao mashado considering it was a Saturday .. the onset of rain was a great advantage for us.

The moment we arrived we took pictures right away, pati signage di namin pinatawad! hehehe!

The fish we saw were really beautiful. The glass tunnel walk was a delight for Sam and Vin too ... plus the big factor was since there were less people we were not ushered to go walking and we could remain there as long as we wanted.

We went to the second floor where the Fish spa experience is, the shark pool and the Glass bottom boat ride (will post pictures in the next entry). Since Bea did not join us last Saturday, there is already plans of visiting it again soon!

Fish Spa

Sam and Vin had their first time encounter with small fish when we visited the Manila Ocean Park and we tried the Fish Spa! Both were excited to dip their feet and be kissed (yan kasi press release ko sa kanila..hehehe!)

They hurriedly took off their shoes and washed their feet and sat on the edge of the pool. After a few minutes one fish "kissed" Vin's toe and he was surprised and liked it .. but the thing is his toes won't stay put, kaya di nakakalapit mga fish. Sam on the other hand dipped her feet and then said "Mama, i don't like na" ... so in place of her toes ... my big toes went in! hahaha!










The first bite really is surprising! Then after a while you can't help but squirm and let out a small squeal kasi nakakakiliti! Hehehehe!

My sister Loren and i had a fun time having our feet "kissed" and believe me it really is relaxing!






































It was so relaxing that when the man said, "Maam, time na po.." My sister and i looked at him at the same time and said "Ayyy, time na ..." hahaha! Nag-enjoy ang matatanda! lol!

That was relaxing 20 minute foot spa!

New Profile Pic

Changed my profile picture to this new picture ... made it black and white though for drama ... hahaha!

Just showing the original photo, taken last Saturday while having my nails done.

Will use this pic for my ym messenger profile na din :)

Mommy talk

Picked up my two girls from school today and was talking with the other mommies and our topic was ... money. School fees has really skyrocketed and my mommy friend actually has five kids in school at the same time! She has been having a difficult time making both ends meet, i can imagine why. She said her husband is already looking at the possibility of getting payday loans to help them settle the five simultaneous tuition fees, school supplies, books and uniform. This month really can bring your budget crazy with the onset of school and other materials that you have to pay, not to mention the rainy season has started ... more things to have repaired in the house. I wished her well and hope things go easy on her soon.

Mirror image

This is my first attempt to take my picture from a far away mirror :)

Just finished having a manicure and a pedicure and was waiting for my sister to finish when i brought out my phone and took the shot.

It was already late in the afternoon, hence the dark sky as my background. We went to my lola's house after the salon then off to Serendra for dinner.

Managing our finances

Christian and i have long time been trying to get the right balance of what we earn every month versus the actual amount we usually spend. It really takes a lot of knack in numbers to really strike a balance. Of course it also comes in to the picture the fact that i am a stay at home mom and that is one factor to take note of too. I started my design biz and luckily it has been good and somehow i am able to contribute to our monthly income, but of course there are times when we have one time large expenses like tuition fee that we have to make a cash advance to be able to get by. Luckily, these are temporary situations that are easily resolved by simply managing our finances well.

Manila Ocean park tomorrow

My sister and i are scheduled to bring the kids to the Manila Ocean Park tomorrow. We will sleep over in my mom's house tonight because we are thinking of going there when it opens to beat the crowd.

Vin is excited, especially when i told him that there is a place there were you dip your feet and small fishes will tickle your toes. Hahaha!

The girls on the other hand are not so keen on it .. one is because they are scheduled to go there on their field trip (September pa naman) and Sam is a little scared that the Sharks might ram the glass and break it ... hahah ... to much tv!

Well, will post pics next week!

Playing online

I have noticed when i visit blogs of my friends that their current past time is playing online casinos at the comfort of their home. It sure beats dressing up and going out of your house to go to casinos in hotels in the cities. This way you can still enjoy playing your favorite games leisurely with the wide popularity online casino available on the internet.

Weekend Malling

Time really is soooo fast!

I can't believe it's Friday again ... wow!

I have again scheduled my weekend for meet ups, this are the only days that i actually meet my clients face to face because during weekdays its Christian who meets up with them and i just talk to them on the phone, email and ym.

I have to make a list of things i have to do and buy in the mall so i am sure i cover everything ... i have to make sure i include in my list the school stuff for the kids, office supplies for Christian, padlocks for the rooftop gates, bag tags for the lunch kits and so many more. My mental list will not do this time, i really need to put it on paper! hahaha!
