this week's simplicity tips

How was everybody's weekend? Mine was field with blogging-worthy events. Hubby is off for 2 days and we have time to do #7 of this week's simplicity tips from: My Simpler Life. He has been very productive but he missed our Busch Gardens trip last Sunday. We have 2 more tickets and we're going back there as a family next week!

1. Clear off desk.
2. Can you cut an extra from your cable bill?
3. Save for an upcoming expense.
4. Have a salad with each dinner this week.
5. Try some fresh fruit for dessert.
6. What can you do to reduce your bank fees?
7. Play at the park.

34 Ways to say Happy Mother's Day!

I know, I know Mother's day over! But this video is too hard to resist so I am posting it here. A friend sent it to me and I was just laughing the whole time hahah! On that day, my son greeted me for about 10 times only, whenever the phone would ring he'll blurt out: "Happy Mother's..." (yun lang nawawala lagi ang day LOL!). And yes he called me 'pretty mom' for the 1st time. Remember kids don't lie LOL!

decluttering entry#1 (bee happee)

If you have been following the blog of this IT guy of the blogosphere, like me, you either feel any of these emotions: MAD, CURIOS, ENTERTAINED, HATE, ALIW, DEADMA, PROOFREADER, ABANGAN ANG SUSUNOD NA KABANATA, SINETCH SILA?, PAKI KO, etc. etc. Of course, we all are spectators in this bruhaha (unless of course you are part of the secosana este tsugi gang haha) but we all can't help but comment either silently or anonymously. I decided to post this decluttering entry, forwarded to me by my guardian angel cousin, wala lang maganda kasing basahin paulit ulit. A fresh breeze of air as compared to that hottahot blog and comments. Kung nakaya niyong basahin ang entries at comments sa blog na yun, take time to read this. Very nice. Ischmyl! Peace to blogosphere and again, magbayad na kasi.

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was "exciting." Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this:
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."

"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."

"I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'."

"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."

"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."

"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone."

"People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

surely doo.

I know now where to spend my paidblogging earnings. Mommy will be very proud of me! I think I'll start collecting them like she used to. While looking for gift for hubby's 31st birthday on Monday, this is what I saw for myself! I am more excited to have my very 1st Kitchen aid in purple over those luxury bags... trulylee! I called up hubby and we immediately set our online shopping date tonight. Yahoo!
