Just came from a week-long vacation at Orlando, Florida with the family. We went visit Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World and Aquatica. It was a fun-filled vacation despite the July heat and the family had a blast. Years ago, when I was just a child, I saw a picture of the Disney park in one of the Seventeen magazines that my sister used to read. I told myself, I wish someday I would be able to visit this magical place. As I grow up I realized that life is not that easy, sometimes, when we wish about something, it don't mean it would come true. So I gave up silly dreams like the dream of going to Disney, I thought to myself it was just a silly childhood fantasy. As soon as I gave up and stopped believing, my dream came true. Now I tell me kids, if you have dreams, don't stop believing because like Walt Disney said; "Dreams Come True!".

Like most women, I have cellulite problems around my thighs and my behind. I have tried all kinds of remedy and products to help eliminate it yet, the crazy cellulite would not disappear. I was about to give up and just cover it up when I found a site that literally teaches you steps and ways to diminish cellulite. They have all kinds of Working cellulite solution both using natural products and different chemicals. This site also has plenty of home remedies that are proven to help say goodbye to cellulite for good.
I am about to try some of them. It would help if some of my readers could try it out themselves too and we could compare if there are any improvements in our cellulite. Please leave some comments if you have tried any of the treatments that the site recommends and what are the results you have achieved from it.

My little angel is growing fast. It seems like yesterday when I gave birth to her and now she's walking and reasoning like she's 25 years old. She brings laughter in the household everyday and sometimes drives me insane, but what can I do? She is growing and it's part of growing up. I am just enjoying every moment of it.
In the last week of July, we spent a week at Orlando, Florida to visit Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and Aquatica. We all had a blast and for the first time, my little angel was able to visit the magical world of Disney. She dressed-up as a princess and she enjoyed every moment of it. As a mom, I am elated to see her enjoying herself. Despite the heat, we are all grateful that we are able to create memories with each other.

As a mother of two, I am a busy bee especially on school days. I know my kids come first but I also want to harness my ability by learning something as I go about my day to day chores. I have talked to my husband about getting an online degree and luckily he agreed. He said I should check out Walden University's online degree programs since his friend's wife just got a degree from them. DH said his friend recommends it since his wife is already hired and is on her way on building her career.
As I checked their site at WaldenU.edu, I found several courses that I would like to take. I will not be taking all of them but at least I have the top five courses to choose from. Hopefully DH would help me make up my mind and I will be able to enrol and soon. I am pumped to get something going while I am taking care of my family. That's why I like online schools a lot because I don't need to be away from my precious family.
If you are interested on getting an online degree, and learn about Walden, just visit their site and keep your mind open. There are a lot of people that got a career from their online diplomas and if it means you get while you're with your family the entire time, it makes it sweeter.

I go back and forth between being a thrill seeker and a scaredy cat. Sometimes when I go to theme parks I'll go on the scariest and tallest roller coasters. But then other times I'm content to just spend time on indoor kiddie rides that are air conditioned. But we're going on vacation to Busch Gardens this summer and I'm determined to actually ride all of the coasters with the kids.
It was partly my idea to go on this trip so I've been looking up all kinds of information on the trip so that it will go as smoothly as possible. While I was looking at this stuff online, I ran across the site www.CLEARWIRELESSINTERNET4G.com and after I looked through it some I decided to change over our home internet service to it.
There are several really great looking Busch Gardens coasters that I'm hoping that I'll feel brave enough to ride. But I'm telling my kids that I want to ride coasters so that they shouldn't let me convince myself out of riding them just because a little nerves.

I am not a gambler whether it's online or in the casino but I have friends who made a lot of money by playing poker online. Most of them are working during the day, and they play poker at night and on weekends, so whatever it is that they win while playing, it counts as their extra income. They have offered to teach me how to play but I am just not that interested right now. I might change my mind one day though.
Most of my friends who plays poker are based in America, and they usually play in Online Casinos for USA Players. They said it's easy to access and it's only exclusive to USA players. There are other sites they frequent too like Poker Sites USA and other Best US Poker Sites. I am not the person to ask when it comes to poker but I have friends whom I could ask if I need to. So it might be a pass-on information but it's still as good as a first-hand one.
Anyway, I have been thinking of starting to play poker online just to learn. I am scared though of getting addicted to it. My friends assured me that it will never happen but I saw how gambling addiction affects people and I don't want to wake-up one day crying.

My little angel Fifi is finally two years old! She is still a baby in every way and in my heart but she has grown so much in the last two years. She is already potty-trained and she sleeps all through the night, so I am back to sleeping 6 to 8 hours a night straight. Did I say I sleep straight now? Almost every night? Oh yeah I did! I am just glad I'm over the phase where they wake up every two to four hours to be fed. But I miss those baby phase too, so I am thinking that perhaps it's about time to have another baby.
We now have two beautiful daughters but we still want to try so we would have a son. My husband is adamant in having someone take his last name through the generations to come. I am also in agreement to him because I came from a country where family is a big part of society. My sister-in-law just had a baby boy last year and she told me a trick about having a good chance of conceiving a baby boy. I am excited to try it and I am hoping that it works with me as it works with her. I can't wait to shop for boys clothes and blue and green room decorations. That's the best thing of being pregnant, the shopping!
Before we try to though, we have to make sure that we're both healthy. I have to go see my gynecologist for a check-up and DH has to see his doctor. We are not getting any younger so we have to take extra steps to make sure that we have a healthy baby.

I was about to print some pictures from our recent vacation when my printer said the most dreaded message. Warning! Color ink low, please take the time to order more ink. Ugh! If there's anything that I have a hard time finding, it's the ink for our old printer. The machine has been with us for many a years and it is still working like it's brand new, but since it's an old model, it's hard to look for printer ink.
I looked all over the place and even online for a site that still sells them and I finally bumped into the site that don't just sell the ink I need but all kinds of inkjet cartridges for all kinds of printers and models. It is pretty easy to navigate through the site and it even gives you the choice to shop according to brand. One best thing I liked was that they sell cheap ink and accepts all kinds of payment method. From paypal to credit card payment.
I immediately ordered my colored ink and had a very good experience shopping from them. I will definitely order there again even if I get a brand new printer. Sometimes the best deals we could have could be found by clicking just a few buttons in the keyboard.

Guest post of the week by Moises Henderson
Baking shows are always entertaining? I always think that I am going to lose my interest in these programs. I think the magic will wear off and I will suddenly stop finding the shows compelling in any way. However, this has not happened. If anything, my love of the baking shows has actually gotten stronger with each and every one of them that I see. I love each and every cooking show to death.
My absolute favorite baking show on television at the moment is The Best Thing I Ever Ate. I love to watch this show on my direct tv. The Best Thing I Ever Ate is a cooking show that does not offer much in the way of tricks and techniques the chefs on the show are so professional that they actually use cooking utensils that the regular amateur chef cannot get from the store. Sometimes, viewers can pick up something from them. The idea of this show is to spotlight the best foods that are available across the globe.
The Best Thing I Ever Ate is an incredible show that makes me remember why I love the baking show so much. The chefs on this show are so smart and so funny that they are a pleasure to watch. Every single week, I rush home to see what sort of exotic food is being featured on that week's episode.

My sister is a registered nurse and she is so fond of wearing medical scrubs with different kinds of prints when she goes to work. She used to wear the regular white nursing outfit but she said that the scrubs are more comfortable to wear especially during long twelve-hour shifts. She asked me if I could send her some scrubs whenever I would send them the next balikbayan box, so I looked online for different kinds of scrubs.
I also went check our local walmart for their scrubs but all they offer are boring and regular-looking ones. I then searched for nursing scrubs uniform online and found a lot of really interesting and medical scrubs there is. It's like scrub paradise for those who wear them in a regular basis for work. I got carried-away that I bought a couple of pieces because I enjoyed shopping.
I will be sending them soon to my sister. As soon as I received them, I showed them to my sister through skype and she loved every one of them. She can't wait to wear them and I am glad that there are a lot of choices out there for people who wear scrubs almost everyday for a living.

Having a car is a necessity here in America. In the country where I came from which is the Philippines, ninety percent of the people are just commuting using public utility vehicles and trains. My grandma, who lived for more than 70 years didn't own any kind of personal motor vehicle. If she needs to go anywhere, all she needs to do ride a jeepney or a bus.
Here in America, each household has an average of 2 cars. Teenagers as young as 15 years old already own their own car and almost everybody in the family old enough to get a driver's license most certainly have their own car too. I was driving in the road one day when I checked out the different cars that pass by me. There's a white subaru forester, a red mazda tribute and a gray BMW 1-Series. I was thinking to myself that it would not surprise me if there's a bentley that would pass by my mini van. That's just the lifestyle here, having a vehicle is as normal as having a house.
Perhaps people overdo it sometimes by getting the most expensive car possible just to show-off. And that's when the trouble starts for them. Their car is their source of pride and happiness. For me, as long as it runs and it keeps me comfortable, I am happy.

My friend has been complaining of constant headaches for days. She said that there are even nights that she could not sleep because of the pounding pain in her head. I suggested that she have her eyes checked and true enough she is prescribed by the ophthalmologist to wear glasses. Now, she claims that all the headache is gone and that she had not slept as good as she is sleeping now.
I am blessed to have healthy eyes with a 20/20 vision. I know that I am not taking good care of them so I am open to the possibility that perhaps one day I would be wearing prescription glasses too. Good thing that glasses nowadays are more fashion forward than before. It comes in different colors, sizes and shapes to fit each individuals personality. It is now part of a fashion accessory and not just a solution to an existing problem.
I always thought my grandma looked funny with her large prescription glasses but now that I know I could get a better-looking one, I am not so worried about the possibility that I might need one someday.

One of the aspects that helps businesses thrive is through advertising. There are different ways to advertise nowadays and all are proven effective. It is also imperative that a business could reach out to possible clients all over the world and the best way to achieve that is through small-business web hosting. I think the Internet is the best tool that a business could use.
Almost everybody owns a computer in their respective homes and Internet is considered a necessity nowadays. You could reach more possible customers through the Internet than through handing basic fliers in the mall. The search engines also enables customers to connect to the businesses faster than anything else, with a simple click of a button and a few typed words.
Since the Internet is commonly used as a way to connect businesses and potential customers, it is pretty affordable to make a website these days. So if you own a business, open up your own site and get the best web hosting site out there to make advertising a breeze.

Halloween was a month ago yet I still didn't post any pics of the girls in their costumes this year. Andrea insisted on being a ninja, although I initially wanted her to be a geisha. Fifi ofcourse could not complain yet, so I made sure I choose a costume that would be cute on her, that I like too.
Here are my girls in their Halloween costumes...

Last summer, my husband's niece had her 3rd birthday party. She had a pony in her party and all the kids took turns in riding it. My girls liked riding the ponies and it was also Fifi's first time to ride and pet a real pony. Unlike the other kids who were terrified, she was giddy and excited!
Here are my girls...

ate asked if the pony could walk a little faster
