One Month of Being Addicted

Hehehe...its not what you think guys!!! I'm talking about blogging. I almost forget that today is my one month in blogosphere. Good thing my best friend jamie called me this afternoon and remind me about it. Now one joiner is here, PPP and other advertising sites here i come knocking your door, hope you let me in guys. I know i heard from other blogger that sometimes they don't get approve right away, well its fine theirs always a chance!!! I do have chance all the time co's my li'l guy name is chance ehehehe... I did my best so hope its good enough. Wish me luck guys co's I'm gonna start signing up tomorrow.

No Summer Yet

I'm sick and tired of this cold weather. One more day and its gonna be June and we still cold up here, our highest temperature as of now is around 61 degrees Fahrenheit and still get colder during night time. This is been the worse and long cold season ever since i been here. I remember last year about this time its already warm like on the 90 degrees or more. Its not fun always like this i hate going outside because its cold and windy. I always looking forward for summer co's i can go for a walk around the town or go to the beach swimming. I already bought three swimsuit for this summer but guess what i cant even use it because its still too cold. Two or three more months and its gonna be cold again for the next fall. I'm thinking i guess we don't have summer this time. Sucks!!! If its just cheap to go vacation in the Philippines we were there now :)...

Leche Plan ( Egg Custard )


I made this dessert this afternoon for our supper but we didn't even have the supper yet and its already gone because me and my son eat it non-stop and my husband only got one spoon (mga ulit jud). Chance just love it he will cry if i stop feeding him. It is really good and the best leche plan i made compared before. Got this recipe from a friend here. It is very easy and quick. I will list the recipe below if your interested.


Ingredients:
1 can 14 oz. condensed milk (carnation)
1 can 14 oz. evaporated milk ( carnation)
13 egg yolk
2 tbsp. Brown or white sugar (for caramelized). I add just little water on it so it wont stick. If you want more caramel you can add more sugar.

Preparation:

Use a hand mixer. Mix well slowly, the condensed milk, evap milk, egg yolk. Make sure it wont make bubble so it looks very soft. After mixing, sift it ( salain ). Set aside. Caramelized the sugar when its done put it in the leche plan pan or any small baking pan then add those mixing. Steam for 45 minutes or less if the stick is already clear mean its done.

Sleep with Comfort



Resting and sleeping is very important in our daily lives and having a comfortable bed is one thing. Before we have a pillow top queen bed and its driving me nuts because every night i feel like I'm laying down in the hill or woke up at the middle of the night feels like I'm inside the hole. One reason is that my husband is heavier than me. So sometimes we have to flip or turn the bed to other side so it will level again. We get tired of it so one day we decide to get a new bed that can solve our problem. We've search and ask people what bed fits for us and this is what we got a king tempur-pedic bed. We just fall in love with it. Just PERFECT!!! its provides great support and greater pressure relief, plus its softness and silky feel that keeps us cool and very comfortable. Nice thing too is it wont make noises every time you move and has a cover that won't leak through the bed which is just great because we have a Li'l one sleep with us that sometimes he leak his diaper. Its pretty pricey but its really worth it. No disappointment at all. I may say its worth spending more money on beds than any furniture in the house because we use it all the time.

Tornado

Yesterday afternoon we got tornado warning up here. Well I'm not surprise with it this time a year when its cold and warm mixed it can caused tornado. Last night some places in the state of Wisconsin and Minnesota hit by a tornado, one place is about 2 hour away from us. Very scary lots of houses are damage and many people injured and i see it on the news a ten year old kid died and a 2 year old boy that is sad. I thank you God he always keep our place safe from those tragedy. I remember 2 years ago on our way going to Illinois theirs also a tornado and we are only 15 minutes away from that place and who knows the tornado can go anywhere, Me and my husband feel the strong wind blowing, all i did in the car is just keep praying to be safe. And we did pass a place that all the signs is all over the road and all those leaves and the branches of the tress are in the ground. I was really scared that time and my husband just keep telling me not to panic and it helps, just trust God for everything and we made it to our destination.

Loss $$$

Gosh!!! I loss money on my stuff that i sold in eBay last night. Lots of watchers and bidders on it but the problem is they bid little by little and some are waiting for the last seconds to bid so my auction didn't go up. Pissing me off !!! ( naisahan jud ko pordoy)... I learn i guess I'm not gonna put in auction on the high price stuff, this time I'll do fixed price or make an offer that way they won't get me. :)

He want me to sell or trade my pt cruiser which is i like it because its already paid off and the size is cute like me :) with sunroof on it. Now he want me to have the SUV because of the nice features or any echos of that car and said much safer for me during winter time Co's its four wheel drive. I told my husband i don't like big cars because its making me look more small hehehe and making me hard time to park but he said i won't have a hard time because the car got censor that if i am too close to other car or any object it will bling2x. Plus hubby said he can ask discount to his big boss because he work there if he can buy it for $3k-$4k for me and the retail price of that car is $9000 and if brand new is about $35K. It is really a nice SUV but i still love my old car hard to let her go (Drama oi!)... What do you think guys??? Right now I'm still thinking whats my decision gonna be and i only have until Tuesday to decide then the deal is over.

You can see it on the pictures here, each of them original price on tags is $40.00 or more but i only bought all of them for $20.00. Isn't that a nice deal??? The lady said she like me co'z i make her laugh on asking discounts that even if on a single dime " daginoton" . Today is her last day sale and she said they gonna move to other state which is in minnesota. Oh boy no more sale:)...

Great DEals




Today is nice and warm outside whew! summer is on the way. Me and my son go for a drive around the town and hit some garage sale and yard sale. Theirs one lady selling a whole bunch of patch brand purses or bags for only $10.00 each, she said she use to have purse party and now she stop and sell everything. And this is what i got 2 brand new purses and still has tags on it. The pink purse tags says $40.00 original price and the brown one cost $45.00 original price. Now my Filipino style or attitude still work here :), I ask some more discount that if i can buy the two purses for $15.00 and guess what she accept my offer oh! Yeah!!!!.. Watta awesome deal i got, i love them they looks great. I check them on eBay purses brand patch and some of them are really expensive. Now I'm thinking i could go back there tomorrow if she still have it and ask some more great deals and i will buy some more and sell it on eBay ehehehe... Good business for me, I sell stuff in eBay now just to make a little money so i don't have to always depend on my papa Jared for shopping. You can check it out my page http://myworld.ebay.com/mmkiddy. So guys if you never tried garage selling try it now because you can get lots of good deals some garage sale is not just a used or junk stuff but they do have new unwanted stuff, you just have to look for a good one.

Kids time - Parents time




Once a week me and my little guy go to a playgroup at the Family Lake land Resource. We love it we can interact with other people talk about parenting and other stuff. Chance having fun playing with other kids. Its just nice and really healthy for my little guy to get out of the house and explore something different, learn new things and make friends. One thing i like about this group is free, no need to register and they have lots of stuff that kids can play or learn. Kids can paint, read books, play piano about anything. And they give free snack too for kids. So guys if your interested in a playgroup check out in your community.

Saving Money

Every month I take care of paying the bills for my husband and I. $80 for the local telephone bill, $90 for direct TV, and $30 for Internet. Plus a cell phone bill, plus, plus, plus. It's getting crazy all the money we spend. My husband finally did some price checking with different companies and was able to cut price almost in half by combining services with one company. Instead of have a 3 different bills with 3 different companies we have 1 bill for $140 for Internet, dish TV, and a phone services. The amazing thing is we got more TV choices, faster Internet and free long distance. It's amazing better service, more service, and 2 less bills. Check it out and save $$$.

Homemade pizza from scratch



My homemade meatlovers pizza

My husband invited a friend to help him make a flower bed in our rental house and i need to make a supper for them. So i think of making this pizza because this is usually American's food. And they said they loved it :)... Ohhh! i love complement it makes me to do it again hehehe. Well i like it too LOL! love my own. Actually before when i was in the Philippines all i know about cooking is fried and boil. I remember before my uncle who already pass away, he always told me; fried fish again??? pork chop again??? or boiled vegetable with all kalamungay or marungay, in English they called it moringa leaves. In short before i only cooked binukid style .. hehehe..

Gardening



This is our flowers and vegetables for our garden this summer. I plant them inside in our house two months ago when its still freezing cold outside now its spring time ready to plant outside. I do this because its cheaper this way than going to a greenhouse that cost me like $1.00 or more each plant so i just buy a seeds online and one package just cost me like a $1.00 or $2.00 and you can have lots of plants for that amount. Its not hard i just have to water it everyday plus i love plants inside my house. The only problem i have is my little guy trying to reach it so i have to watch out most of the time if he play on that room where my plants at. So hope someday we can have a budget for mini greenhouse next to our house :)... I love flowers and fresh vegetables which is we can only have it during summer time. Its different from where i grow up in the Philippines that all year long we always have it.

Rental house

We have other house where my husband live when he was still single when we got married he bought other house which is next to it and a little bit bigger. That house is for sale but because the market right now is so down it didn't sale so we been renting it out for a while. Now we got this renter that is so stressful for us always pay late and sometimes don't pay for one month. Its driving' me nuts of course we had to pay for the mortgage from our pocket and our budget is just so hectic right now. Within this month the lease gonna end so were hoping they will leave the house voluntary then later on we can find a good renter or maybe a buyer. This house is on the market under remax realty.
