Arrived

While I was talking to my family last night online, my sister got a call from a delivery guy and asked her some more info about their address, he must not be so familiar with the place. My sister told me that it was the delivery guy for the package that I sent to them. I was little surprise because I was expecting that it will arrive by the middle of January.

I was watching my family distributing what's in the package to whom it belonged. Because I put names most of all stuff that was in there. They were really happy, specially the kids. They kept saying "thanks" to me and hubby. It was just simple stuff but they are happy with it. Im glad that they like my first package, and Im excited to get more stuff for this second box that I got right now to send it there for this year. There is nothing can pay my happiness, just to see my loved ones happy and that also of course make my bana happy which makes everybody happy...Sha..la..la..LOL!

19 LCD

When I have nothing to do, I will immediately find something to do such as getting online, listening to music and watch tv before the anxiety strikes. I told my husband that it would be nice if we have tv in our bedroom so that I can just watch tv everytime I have hard time to fall asleep. I always look at in stores LCD tv's because they really look so cute to me but the price is unbelievable. But online, I found 19 LCD tv in UK which we can get cheap deals and great prices. We can compare and get the best prices on all new 19 inch LCD tv models. My hubby sure likes the idea because who doesn't love cheap deals?

Internet sure helps alot to people because we can just go online and look for the stuff that we want for very good deals that alot of times we dont found in stores.

Mountain House

Me and hubby always hear about this american guy who now lives in the Bohol, Philippines. According to our friends that they are very nice people specially the wife. So we decided to go visit Bohol and see this guy too. When we were getting close to the port, we saw a white house on top of the mountain. My hubby really liked the location, because he likes to be on top of the mountain/hill.

We never knew the exact location of that american that we wanted to see, we only knew the town. But thanks to our friends brothers, they drove us around and help us as much as they can. We told them that we wanted to go to that american on top of the hill, but they had no idea who's that person was. But they took us anyway to the place where there are some americans. We walked to the elevated hill since the pick up truck of our friend's mom couldn't drive up there because it is not a four wheel drive. But we stopped on the first gate because we just didnt want to get in without thier permission. So the nephew's owner came out and told us that his uncle is not around for he is in the states for vacation. The wife is not home too because she is a Barangay Captain and she had a meeting or something. But, his guy let us in anyway because he saw that my hubby is an american too like his uncle. He showed us around, give us some information about the places close by or other mountains. And we found out that there are alot of american's in that area, and there is German community too that is very exclusive for German's.

The place was just soo peacefull. I just love the moment we were there, because it is so overlooking and we could actually see the city of cebu. But anyway, we also found out that it was the house that we have seen when we were still on the boat. Hubby was so amazed on alot of things over there. Here are some pics:

Overlooking

Online Auctions

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bidazzled. All opinions are 100% mine.

Back in my homeland I didn't really understand the word "auction". My hubby always told me that he is at the auction but I had no idea what it was about. But when I got here in the US I started to learn what it means because I always go with my husband at the auction. He just loves auctions because he can save alot of money. And then I also learned that he can actually go for online auctions too. So I think, "well, why go to some far places and spend so much money for gas and hotel room if you can just do it online?".

I like online shopping so much better because its totally hastle free. And my friend who is so addicted to online shopping likes to encouraged me to do the same, and no kidding, it is fun. Specially if we found good deals just like what Bidazzled, which has launched in early November and it is redefining the online auction market by offering savings up to 90% name mechandise all while funding a charity. Common called Penny Auctions or Pay-Per-Bid auction sites, bids are purchased in advanced and used to bid on mechandise. Auction winners usually save 80% off retail and its really pretty cool because nobody loses in this auction because if you dont win you receive up to 50 bonus bids as a thank you for participating. And here is more, they offer 15 additional bids if you use this code BBP1202A until January 15th. Just go to their site and enter it on the registration page, there is no obligation or cost of any kind. And one more thing that I like about this Bidazzled is that was designed to fund a lung cancer charity (The Ruch Foundation).

When I told my husband all about this, he told me that he wants to check that site out. Because he may find their what he needed for it sounds so interesting. And then, I will check it out too because I want few things at this time. I am not yet so addicted with online shopping but I may though, specially if I found good deals such as Bidazzled offers.

Present

Tonight I found out my present from hubby.. When I opened the box, I saw a brand name of a computer but hubby kept telling me that it's not computer, they just put it in that box so that the present looks big. But it is really a computer, and Im soo happy eventhough I didn't expect that.

Few months ago, I told my husband that we need a smaller laptop since we did alot of traveling and our laptop is too heavy to carry. And I didn't really think that thats what he is going to get for me as a christmas present. He probably get tired of waiting for me to get done with the laptop so that he can take over. Well,, we do have a desktop but laptop is alot better because we can just take it anywhere in the house specially in the living room where we spend most of the day time when we're home. Im so glad that this is what hubby got for me so that we can both get online together and next to each other. And also its gonna be handy for our next travel. So im soo happy with it!



Thanks to my hubby for giving me this present I really really appreciate it.

Surprise?

Me and Bana of my mine went to few stores yesterday because he was looking for something and he couldn't find. So, he just told me that we will just go to other town on the next day. I kept asking him what was he looking for? It's impossible that he couldn't find it because he went to few store already. But he still didn't tell me. So, I looked forward to go to the other town today. Then, I saw my husband dressed up, and I asked him if where is he going? He just told me that he is going down to the shop but I had doubt in my mind because when he goes to the shop he always wear working clothes but not today?.

After almost an hour since he left, I called him and asked him what time should we go to town? So that I could get ready ahead of time. But then I heard some noise on the background, I asked him again if he was in the coffee shop? And guess what he said? "No, Im in town." I was so shock because this is the very first time he went to town without me. He told me that we will talk latter when he gets home. But I kept bugging him why he didn't take me? what's the reason? And he finally told me that he is buying present for me. Im thinking, how sweet of this man! Maybe he learned from what I told him before, that I dont want him to ask me what should he buy for me. I dont wanna know in advance. Hhhmm... and this is what he is doing right at this hours.

I know for sure that Im gonna like whatever it is, at whatever cost! For me, as long as it is given heartily then thats the most pleases me.

Hate/Love Her

Last night, It happened that my husband and I talked about our monster school teacher back in our Island in Bohol. She is teaching 1st and 2nd grader, and she was my teacher too. I just remember alot of things about her. I remember that she was so mean to her students. As a first grader, we didn't know much. She teached us really really hard. First thing in the morning as soon as we get into the school, she would have us go outside and pull grass and do alot of cleaning outside. Then after that, we all go inside our classroom after flag ceremony and she would check our nails if it's dirty or not, she also looked for long nails or painted nails and then if she see one, she will hit our fingers with stick. Then, when she start discussing to us we must all listen because after than she will give us an exam and if we dont pass the exam she will have us sit on the air. Can you imagine sitting on the air? You'll stand on your toes, then knees are bend, your arms forward. Then our knees would start to shake and we get really sweaty. It was too bad really, its unthinkable discipline.

During our math subject, she will call us one by one and have us solve on problem solving on the blackboard. And if we dont know anything, she will pinch our groin, chicks, and her eyes would go really BIG! That big eyes alone scared the heck out of us!. But just to be honest, I loved that teacher after all. Because the meanier she showed us the more encouraged we are to study really hard so that we will not get spanked, pinched, etc. And I learned alot!! of that school teacher. Im proud to say that, I started to learn my english from her. Because I was so scared of her. Im not saying that I have perfect english, but I can speak good enough to communicate to english people.

Anyway, since our only school teacher in 1st and 2nd grader is so mean, my younger brother didn't go to that school. He went to the main island of Bohol instead and stayed with our aunt and then go back to our island when he was 3rd grader. But I dont know if that teacher still teaching at this time because my brother is now almost 17yrs old and she was getting old when my younger brother had to skip of her. But my husband and I have a plan to go visit that school teacher of mine next time we go back to Philippines, we didnt think about that before.

Lil-Cousins

The picture above are my nieces, named Blessa Marie the one in yellow top and Lovely Kate in brown. They are so sweet lil girls in their own lil ways. They both have a good heart too in different ways. Blessa Marie dont go to school at all because her parents are in the mission but Lovely Kate goes to private school to Baptist I think, since the Seventh Day Adventist church is too far from where they live.

I just so love to remember the moments that I spent with them specially every afternoon after church when everybody takes me home. These lil girls always requested me to ask them questions in English and whoever answer first will get the points. They both answered questions in almost the same time as soon as I finished my question. And then I encouraged them to do their best to say the answer very quickly. And then I noticed Blessa Marie just kept on answering so quickly. And her score was way ahead than Lovely kate. Lovely Kate then turned her back to Blessa Marie and when Blessa Marie noticed it then she quit answering me. Because she didnt like that her cousin will feel bad against her (watta sweet girl). She have given her cousin alot of chances to answer but Kate just didnt want to try to answer anymore because she knew that she was going to loose anyway. But even so, I love them both still because when Kate see me doing something she will just ask me if is there anything she can do for me? I love them being sweet to me in their differents ways.

Acne Problem

When I was in my teenage, alot of people complimented about my face. They said that I had a face like a baby, so soft. They kept asking me what did I put/use on my face to look that soft? Specially those teenagers that are friend of mine. They wanted to have a good looking skin and face to attract teenage men who always ignored them. My friends thought that they weren't pretty enough. But what can I tell them for Im not using anything special for my skin? They really thought I was just lieing them, but I wasn't.

But those were just an experienced having a good looking face. Because now that im in my early 20's and my life is soo busy now, I notice that I start getting acne. And I just dont like it at all. I dont even like to look at myself in the mirror. My husband likes to research on how to get rid of baby acne I know that it also bothers him. I showed him some pics of me when I single and now. I compared how my face look before and now. And the more he is encourage to get rid of this acne. He likes to feel my face, but its like a bumpy road mostly in my forehead. And it even get worst during my period. I am just so embarass about this. But I am not loosing hope to get rid of this. Alot friends told me that stress is one reason that can caused acne. So if stress is the reason, so getting plenty of rest could help. So far didnt work for me because eventhough my body is relax but mind travel so many miles per hour and I just couldn't help it. Well.. I will do what I have to do just to have a good looking skin again.

Salmon

Alaska is soo abundant of salmon. When we were there last summer, I just enjoyed the fishing everyday. Although my arms got soo sore at night from fishing but I still love to fish everyday. I just couldn't get enough of fishing. It was so fun catching those big salmons. I then started to like salmon that I never have eat before in my life.

I also enjoyed meeting my new relatives, some of them doesnt know to fish though but they love to eat salmon. Well,, its not a problem because I can fish their salmon for them.

It was so fun, eating around the big table with full of people (relatives). I felt more hungry if there are alot of people.. hehe. One time my sister in law asked my hubby what he wanted to eat? And he said he want bread, so I said" Why have bread when you can have a salmon? Am like hey this is alaska so abundant of salmon and we had so many salmon in freezer. So, lets eat it, its free!!

We had so much fun over there in Alaska, I also enjoyed the sceneric view. Hopefully we can come back this summer.

Love my Country

I grew up in one of the little islands in the Philippines. Although poor but no known problems back there. People there were just happy and satisfied with thier lifestyle (dont know any better life) but im still so proud with that island because, I learned alot of hard times over there.

Eventhough we're so poor but my parents managed to put us in school to do better in the future. In fact I think many people there were jelous to my parents because they were able to put us to school eventhough were just belong to the poorest people in the world. But, we had this good heart that whoever graduated and have a job will put the next younger ones to school too. So my parents didnt pay for everything. Im so proud with my older brother and sisters too. I just feel thier love for me. We feel love for each other. But anyway, at the age of around 13 or 14 I moved in to the city which another island but way bigger, to proceed my study and have more opportunity in the city than back in the island were I grew up.

Me and my family had commitment to help each other specially our parents. My parents are not helpless but we want them to enjoy life since they are getting older. Thats what I've always dream about, for my parents since I was little girl. And im glad that my older sisters and brother are doing better since they moved in to the city. Except for my oldest sister and brother in law who choosed to be a voluntary missionary of Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement (SDARM). They used to have small business and my sister had a good job but they quit eveything because they had to work saturday. Instead, they choose to be a voluntary missionary. They are very special people in my family. And im sure God is very happy of what they are doing. They have been doing this for so many years now eventhough not financially abundant but God didnt let them totally down.

Anyways, Im so proud about my country even it is just poor country but WE ARE SURVIVORS!! no one can beat that. Here is a picture of one of the island that I took when we were headed to Bohol island. I love the white beach even if this is not fully developed island.





PS: I also adore the US with its amazing nature!!!

Friend's Gift

Back in the Philippines, I met my friend named Milany and handed her the stuff she wanted from the US. She was very happy with it because according to her that she couldn't find those vitamins for her baby there in the Philippines. And she was happy of what she got for herself too because it was too cheap compare if she just buy it there. Because of course we didnt charge for the shipping and handling...lol. Just the original price.. she even got some discount for we bought it with discount.

She wanted to see me again before we fly back to the US, because she wanted to give me something. And really thought that she will give me some dried fish for thats what she was always asked me if eat alot of dried fish over here but I told her that I can buy in Filipino Store in the City. And she still kept telling me that she will give me something that why she wants to meet me again. But we got busy and so is she. And on the very last day she told me to just pick it up on the way to the aiport. And so, I got her gift for me. I had no time to look at it since she stapled it good.

When I got here in the US I was excited to see whats inside the paperbag. And when I opened it, I was really surprised because she give me some good dried fruits in a little package. I am soo happy of what she gave me. It really means alot to me and to out friendship. So, I thanked her right after she handed it to me and thanked her again when I saw whats inside. ANd she thanked me too for not changing our frienship. Friendship is the most important thing.

Jetlog

We had such a long flight, for we had 12 hrs laid over in Korea and 5 hrs in Seattle. Unlike last year that we just had 2hrs apart for every next flight. But felt like it was more tired than this time, because we got here in the morning, and had to stay awake till evening. But, I didnt get any jetlog though. But this time I obviously got jetlog because I was awake since 12midnight. And just cant go back to sleep. But in the Philippines we didnt have any jetlog at all. My husband is the same thing. He got up around 2am and cook some foods for today. And I finally got up for Im getting hungry trying to fall back to sleep.

Hoping to get over this very very soon.

Flight Story

I would say that we had a good flight because we made it here at home. Hehehe. But there are somethings that disappoint my hubby in the airplane. Because on our 4 and 1/2 hrs flight from Cebu to Korea, they serve meal but then for some reason everybody was eating but us. And then I told my husband that maybe they only feed the Koreans. Then the guy who served the drink asked us if dont we want breakfast? Then hubby told him like "I guess they dont want to feed us". So the guy went back and tell somebody. Hhhmm,, was thinking if it was discremanation or what? They finally feed us and apologized for the late meal.
In Korea, we had 12hrs lay over. So, we spent those hours in the hotel. We didnt understand the money over there, sounds so much but we had somebody converted it into dollars. Then I realized that its just like the Philippines, sounds off alot but then it cost few bucks only. But it still expensive since its in the airport, everything is expensive.
Was so glad when the plane landed in Seattle WA because the long flight was over, but had to wait 5hrs for out next 40minutes flight. I felt like its been so long since I slept but its not too bad at all compare to last time.
Well,, glad to back in the US but sad again to be away from my dear family. But that's life is. Looking forward to see them next year again and stay much much longer.
For my family, "I Love and Miss You so much guys keep doing what you doing now for Jesus, because He will be always watching us! ".

Going back to the US

Hahay! im soo sad at this moment because tonight is our flight going back to the US, for the month vacation is up. Which im not ready yet. When I think about being away from my family again, it makes me soo sad and cant help myself to cry, but I understand that that's life is, (pagkapait gayud...). But I have to be positive, thats my family always tells me. Since I am married to an American I must be strong, not to let this sad emotions eat me. The most famous word when my family and friends see me is " you are so skinny". Which I do believe that being in different world is one of the reason why I got so skinny. No matter how much I eat, I just dont gain any weight, which is a good thing.

Im gonna miss this hot weather in the Philippines because at this time it is soo COLD in our place. I need to adjust the weather again. But I didnt have any problem with the climate here in the Philippines eventhough I been through cold moments in the US but im still a Filipino. But, the other day when we went to Bohol I got runny nose, cough and headache also sinusitis attacked which was really bad. Cant look at the brightness outside. But I feel alot better now though, and my husband is now the one who dont feel really good which is too bad because we are going to have a long long flight back to the US.

ThanksGiving

If I am only in the US today, I would of celebrate my first year became a US resident. Last year, when I got in the US it was thanksgiving day. And I just remember the moment when I stepped out from the airport of Seattle to our next flight for Pasco, I was just frozen, so shock with the cold. It was last November 27, 2009. I just couldn't believe the coldness of the country. Plus I know I got there the in the wrong season. But God was there for me, Who helped me to be able to adjust the climate. I remember that I always had headache for my sinus attacked. I know by this times in WA is so cold already, it was even so cold when we flew for here in the Philippines. I had sinus attacked at the airport and had severe headache in the airplane, I didn't like to eat. But thanks to my hubby, he brought some Tylenol PM and it really helps my headache right away, and I was able to sleep in the plane too plus the flight was great.

But anyway, today is my second celebration of thanksgiving and my first thanksgiving here in the Philippines. Honestly, I didn't know what thanksgiving was all about. I may seen it on tv but I didn't really care about it. Well, few days ago, my girl friend had a cut out magazine of turkey and all the contacts. I was interested to let my family came over to have some turkey. But we got busy and I forgot to tell my family ahead of time and plus I thought thanksgiving is the 27th of November just like last year. So, yesterday my hubby showed me some newspapers with turkey infos and it says the 26th is the Buffet. So I started to get confuse why they will have the buffet on the 26th if it is for thanksgiving day? And you know yesterday was the 26th. My hubby started to asked me, " what day is today?" so I told him its thursday the 26th of November. And he said that its thanksgiving day then. Am like "what?" its not the 27th yet?. Then he told me that doesnt matter about the date, it is about the last thursday of november. I had no idea about it. I really thought that it is the 27th of November. So I started calling the outfit to order some turkey but it is too late for home delivery. But they have buffet somewhere in Lapu-lapu. And I didnt even think to go to the buffet because the way going to such place is very remote and I couldn't call my sister to borrow her multicab because my bro-in law is using it. But, we ended up joining our friends for thanksgiving and we had a good thanksgiving night.

2012

Back in the US I heard about the movie "2012" and it sound interesting. I was sad though because we were heading for Philippines, and I might mess the movie because it will show sometime in November 2009 in the US but I was wondering if I could see it here in the Philippines. I wanted to see the movie so bad, but we didnt have enough time to watch it in the US.

I have been waiting for this movie, and finally I have read on the news paper that it is showing in the theaters such us theaters in SM Mall. Since hubby was so bored, so he was excited to go to the mall when I told him and pretty sure that he was waiting for the movie too. We planned back in the US to take my parents with us in watching this movie to have more fun, but my father is on the Island since the other day and he will be back in the city by the end of this month. So we just went ahead and watched the movie, for I was worried that it might be over after few days of the show. And if it is still showing, we will take my parents and we have to watch it again or else we will find another suspense movie.

Well, I enjoyed my time in the theater because the movie was good and I had my loved one with me... lol. Anyway, 2012 movie is about the Mayan's prediction that the world will end by the 2012. All disasters will happen like never ever happen before. It was good watching, specially for the religious groups (like myself and family) who believe that everything has appointed time. All we can do is just to pray to our Heavenly Father to protect us. But, I dont believe in Mayan Calendars

Back online

It has been a few days since I was able to get online. Because I have been traveling and setting things up here in the Philippines. Well.. im here now in the Philippines, so happy to see my family here. We got here last monday midnight Nov. 9, '09. This is the moment that I have been waiting for almost a year being away from my family and homeland. Eventhough I do communicate with my family online alot but, I still do wanna see them and touch them and have fun with them and all that. And now, my dream come true again. Well talking about dream, I do really dream back in the US about my family and about Philippines alot. And of course, I got sad when I find out that it was just a dream. But now im currently living with my dreams and im so happy even knowing that it wont last forever, because of course we have to come back in the US. But, looking forward to make both countries (Phils & US) to be our home, meaning will spend part of the year in each country every year, in God's willing. I know it take will some time but atleast its a part of a plan for the future of hubby and I.

Well so far, Im enjoying my stay here so much. I do spend alot of times with my family. I feels like we are so much closer now than before but we were all so close before too. Hubby and I dont think that it is that hot than expected.

I wanted to share some simple photos but my internet connection is so slow,, I am only using prepaid and my mom's place is little bit distance, I couldn't jump in to their computer would of been faster, ill just deal of what I got.

Need to return some Costumes?

Most of us really like to have costumes that fits to the party that we are going to attend that would give us the best look if possible and be comfortable too. But there are so many different parties in each year and of course we have different costumes too. We even want different costumes in one party. Some people just buy costumes because they are so attracted to it but they dont really wear it. And just put inside the closet and let it set there. And we start to wonder if what we can do of all those costumes? Some people just want to get rid of some costumes for some reasons. They probably have too many costumes and they are maybe tired of it, because they want something better next time as we always do. But please don't just throw it in the garbage can. I have to tell you that you can actually return a costume that is still wearable.

I will tell our experience of returning stuff in the Philippines. One time, my husband and I went to the mall in the Philippines and he bought a pair sunglasses and when he tried to wear it, it came apart and so we went back to the mall and return it with the receipt of course but they didn't take it back because there was no way to fix it. I didn't know how did that happen. But it did came apart. I was like in between, I couldn't say a word, I knew how my husband felt and I also understand why they didnt take it back. So, I have learned from that experience in returning stuff. And now I understand that there are some things, that we need to consider in returning the costumes. First we have to make sure that it is still usable, and it should still look good so that the next person who will wear it would still be happy and proud.

I would suggest you, to check out on how to return a costume and learn the returning policies, what you can and what you cant return.

Free Online TV Shows

Me and my husband really love to watch tv. We usually watch news, reality shows, and he really love western movies/shows. I have never ever watch online tv shows because I am afraid that I might end up watching illegal shows and have to pay the fine for so much. And guess what? I heard that I can actually watch TV Online without the fear of watching illegal movies because Spreety site is all about the legal places to watch TV online, including news, movies, and much much more. So I check it out right away and yes there are 5000 pages and has so many Genre pages I even found here my hubby's favorite movie ( western movies ). Im pretty sure that you'll going to enjoy this Spretty site because I do believe that you'll find your choice, just keep on browsing its pages, genre's...

Busy Days

Well,,, this gonna be a big day for me and hubby to prepare for our vacation in the Philippines. My list for things to do is very full,, we dont know where to start. But we have to get everything done. And I am not even done packing for our clothes and we need to buy more stuff to take over there. Hu hu hu whatta busy life. But im so glad that the package for the Philippines is ready to go to so that we can send it before we will go of course. It has been 2months I think preparing for this little package. And this will get there round 2months too, so when we come back here in the US the package will not get there yet. But oh well, as long as it will arrive, then it's fine. The closer of our flight the more I cant wait (excited so much).. lol.

Instant Cash

I know we are in need of cash right now, because we have been paying alot of all kinds of bills. We are still even paying of my surgery bills. So much bills every month it is so hard to keep up. But we dont want that our credit to go bad that's why we just pay it on time. But there are so many times that we just need to figure out a way to make little money just to pay bills. And now, we are heading to the Philippines, the more we need cash instantly. I asked my husband that I want to buy presents for family and friends back home but I cannot buy all I want to take over there because we just couldn't afford it. And it makes me feel sad. Because I want my family to get a present somehow, even though my family didn't ask any but I know it would make them happy if I have something for them, so no matter how little the thing/present would be, they would sure appreciate it. And I know Im not alone with this kind of problem. In fact thats probably the most common problem all over the world. Even those rich ones somehow they need some money too.

Anyway, it is less than a week for our flight to the Philippines but seems like we are not ready yet, because money is not enough and Im sad. I know it is our slight problem now, because not only for present of family but also we want to do something over there and enjoy our 1month vacation. Because we had some plans of things to do when we go there but I guess it was just a plan. But, I heard about that cashnetusa can help us for our needs in cash instantly within 24 hours after we submit our loan application. And the good thing about this Cash Net is even those people with bad credit tag can also get relief of their financial needs quickly. Unlike the other company that we tried to loan money with, they didn't loan us some money because they think that our income is not stable. Im pretty sure they were worried that we couldn't pay it. And one reason that pist off my husband is they asked him alot of questions, and since then he receive calls almost every hour for about a week. Well, Im going to tell him about this Cash Net because it really interest me.

So, if your problem is instant cash dont wait for your next pay days, you know where's the best place to go. And get instant financial aid.

Senior Care

Caring seniors can be so challenging specially when they are on a wheel chair, they in old timers and all that. So many reasons that our seniors needs special care, love and patient specially. And alot of us cannot take care of senior family for many reasons too, the few reasons are: we are so busy working hard so that we can provide our families needs, other reason is we live far away from our senior family. But we know that they really need some special cares, companion, etc.. and what would you do? If I were in your shoes, I would look for an agency that offers senior care. But, we all need to check each back grounds because there are so many seniors that get abused. And of course we dont want that to happen to our loved one.

In looking for a care provider, there are so many things that needs to consider. First, I would definitely look for a care provider/agency with highly skilled nursing facility which is very important of course. And I will also look or consider the agencies that has Senior independent living that offers physical and mental activities because I do believe that it is very important and good exercise for each seniors. But of course I would also consider my senior's family where he/she will feel comfortable for Senior Housing. I know we all want our seniors be happy and safe of where they at. They would feel more of our love and support that way. They will know how important they are to us. And if they are happy we are also happy and thats what its all about.

Halloween

It's first halloween here in the US and see alot of difference compare to home. Where I came from we didn't have pumpkins decor, trick or treat and all that. Probably, some parts in the Philippines they do that but were I came theres nothing like that. We only visit our dead relatives in cemetery and prepare foods such as "biko" or sticky rice which my "bana" really liked it when my mother let him tried it, and much more traditional foods that my mother prepared. But I think trick or treat is pretty fun too specially for the kids when we choose to treat them with candies. I really enjoyed treating those kids and I enjoyed their customs too.

Here is pic of me together with kids that I treated with.

Because of these hard times, the family that's left behind couldn't recover that easy and quick especially if you dont have much to give to them.

Got scammed!

Im really pissed because I got scammed again! First scam was happen in Manila Philippines when I went there for my medical and interview. I know those transactions of my credit card wasn't mine because of the dates that the transactions happened. I went to Manila first time around Oct. 21-25, 2008 and then went back to Cebu to review all my paperworks that I'll take for my interview. Then I went back to Manila around Nov.5-7,2008 for my interview, then headed back to Cebu again and met my husband there since he just got there from the US. So anyway, we didnt know that my credit card got scammed till we got the bill when we are here in the US already. We found out that was 2 transactions happened on the 28th and the 30th I think of October. I was really upset because I know I wasnt there by that time. Plus they scammed us for $500. But anyway, we tried to settle it by calling the company, and tell them the truth. And they asked me alot of proofs, they wanted to know my passport and all that, but it didnt do any good because they still couldnt find any fraud they said. We are really upset and my husband told the guy that we are going to pay it because it wasnt mine and who would want to pay the bills that isnt ours? And we dont use that card anymore but untill now they keep sending the bill and the interest is getting higher and higher.

Just recently, I was tempted to join the Google Home Income Kit or something like that but I told my husband that I better wait for the result of my lovely friend in Texas who was tempted and didnt hesitate to join. Hehe. But my loving "bana" instead told why wait for her its only $1.97 its not a big loose if ever. And yeah I signed up but I was really hesitated and I used his credit card. And that night we called the credit card company to see if how much did they charged. And everything seems alright because they charged only $1.97. But by the next night some woman called me and she said that she will verify my membership so she started asking things but then she wanted to verify the credit card number so I handed the phone to my husband and he told her that no way he will give the number to her. So, it started to get fishy.

By the following days, my friend who signed up sent an email to my husband telling him that it was all scam and the worst part is she got scammed too...LOL. I started blaming my husband but it will not do any good it already happened but anyway there is more that im so pissed about because as I read the link that my friend gave me it says that the website which I signed up with will charge more in the next 7days or something like that which I never on that part on the Kit thing. So we need to call the company again and settle this and see if they will believe us.

Dang scammers anyway! They can make things up that sounds really really good.

High Quality Furniture

Talking about on how to make the house looks good which Im so addict with. I told my husband that our furnitures looks old and needs to be changed. And I also told him that I will be the one will decide on choosing the furnitures. We are now currently looking for a store where we can buy furnitures with high quality. Although we are cheap people but talking about high quality we dont care to pay more because I do believe that what we pay is what we get.

I always look for furnitures online and Im so glad to found this furniture store that has all kinds of furnitures. They have furnitures for every room of your house. Oh I love this website microfibersofa because I found here the living room set that I really wanted, plus they have alot more choices that maybe I can compare to the one I really want. But I know for sure I found the that my heart really desires.

They also have hometheaterseating for the people who love to theaters sets in thier house. Which I dont mind to have one too. And then they have this electricfireplace that really looks so gorgeous. Im just thinking that combine all these products, how perfect beautiful our home would be. Im really really glad I found all these so that I can take my time looking around in thier store online its hastle free coz I dont have to take my husband to the store which he dont like to stand for so long.

Pocket Calendars

My husband used to order some pocket calendars, pens and business cards with his small business marked on it and give it away to people as a simple advertisement. They like the pens but I dont know about the pocket calendars, because I think they could of done better than what they always make for my husband.

Having pocket calendar is very important to me and my husband because alot of times I forget about the date or day and all that. Plus pocket calendars is very handy, I can take it wherever I go. And I also carry a list of things to do or schedules. I prefer to carry alot of stuff in my purse than not be able to finished what we need to do.

And Im so glad I found this pocket calendars online. As you go to thier site it is really amazing of what they offer. I feels like of all what I need is just in one thing, pocket calendars, and organizing/planning things. There is alot of choices at the very affordable price. You can have it the way you want it. I really enjoyed reading some comments from people, it is really encouraging to get one. If your planning to get one just click on pocket calendars and see for yourself why im thinking to introduce this to my husband to attract more people of his small business.

Feels Better

Since I got in the US I notice that I am light-headed in each day and I told our physicians about it and she just said that its a part of my adjustments in here. But for the past several days I felt extremely dizzy, I mean the room would spin when I lay on bed and switch sides that usually make me feel comfortable. And when Im up and wants to walk around I had to hold on to something so that I wouldn't fall. It reminds me on the day of my surgery that I felt extreme dizziness before I was out when they injected the drugs to knock people out. It was so bad coz I felt like I wanted to vomit since my stomache would get upset.

My "bana" always reminded me what the ENT doctor (who did my ear surgery) said that whatever makes me dizzy just keep doing it and it will go away. First time I heard that I didn't like it at all because I dont wanna feel always dizzy and why this guy told me to keep doing it..Sounds not right to me. But since he is a doctor, so Im tried to do of what he said but I just get scared sometimes thats why my "bana" would pick me up on the couch and he would move me around or chase me just to make me move fast I guess but he always do that to me because he is a teaser. But anyway, im so happy this morning that finally im not so dizzy anymore and no more menstrual cramps too. I felt them both around the same time its too bad. And went away around the same time/day too. So happy me. Thank God!

One funny screwed up

The other day my husband bought something online in Idaho and needs to be pick up. Knowing that we have to travel for most of the day I decided to charge the battery of my camera so that ill have some extra battery. By the morning, my husband told me to take the the papers on the couch that we need to drop to the broker's office. So I put my camera together with the papers so that I wont forget. Latter on my husband went back in and I ask him where's the camera? And he said the papparazzi got it. So in my mind that he got it since there only me and him in the house. On the road from Idaho and we were headed for the office were we will drop off those papers he asked me if where is the papers? Im like...." what?" are you serious? I thought he was kidding me. Because I figured he got it of what he told me and it was not on the couch last time I look at the couch where it was. So I started reminded him what he told me and what I told him because he really forgot and he was serious either. And went ahead and tried to find the office and try to get another form to fill out. We didnt know the exact address all we know tht it is on the main street and we didnt have any phone number. We were driving around the city and look for the main street and finally we found it and we found the office too but there was still problems. We couldnt park any place because it was just so full. They just park along the roads infront of the buildings. It reminded me downtown cebu it is almost the same. Many people walked by. So after all it wasn't bad that we forgot the stuff's coz there is no way to hand it to them coz no way to park. And wonder what happen to the papers and the camera? We saw it on top of the stove. My dear husband didnt remember that he put it there.

Torrents Search Engine

When I was back home in the Phils. my lil brother always asked me if he can download some online games, but I always disagree because I heard alot about ended up paying tons of money the illegal downloads. And I dont want to end paying the same.

The poor guy just go to his classmates house to play the games that he really wanted. Eventhough Im already here in the US I still check him by asking my family and they said that he still go to his classmates house to play online games.

Then it happens that I came accross with torrents search and I am so glad because this is what my lil brother always asked me. And the benefits are so great, they are: Simple interface, Powerfull search engine,
Opportunity to download lots of games, music, films for free into time without the fear of downloading empty and not complete file. And huge regularly updated torrent files base. Everday bots cover thousands of sites with torrent files and add them to the database.

Thanks to this opportunity I now have some good news to my beloved brother. This will be a good reward for him being a good kid by listening to his big sister.

Alaska

I just like recalling my moments in there. It was one of my most unforgettable moment. Alaska is the biggest state in the US and its really a pretty place for summer... Hehehe. I say summer because it will get really really cold in winter time, some parts in Alaska will go -70 degrees, and im so chicken if we talk about cold. Even in summertime over there it is still cold.

Last summer we went to Alaska for a vacation and to meet relatives. Fishing is what we usually do almost everyday. I really enjoyed fishing salmon along the River of Kenai. But the river running made me dizzy. We didn't have to use bait to fish for silver salmon. The salmon was big, it usually weigh 8lbs for the silver and for me it was really big and heavy. On our last day there we tried to fish more and man, I had a King Salmon on! I was yelling my husband to hurry to get the net but guess I dont think that the King would fit to the net for it was so heavy and so big and that thing just took off and brook the line. I was unhappy at all. According to my husband it weighed around 40some lbs, woohw! But It wasn't too bad after all because when we went out for halibut fishing I caught the biggest halibut among our group. It was just very easy to pull eventhough it was so big because I used electric drill.

I really enjoyed my experience there. We stayed there for like 10 days and it was fun fun fun!. I was sad when its time to go home because I would miss my sister in law first of all and I would miss the fishing too and not to mention the pretty and a place that full of serenity.

Me and hubby are looking forward to go back there someday on summer time.

Online friends

Alot of time I would feel so lonely specially if my husband is not around. The loneliness can drive me crazy, but im so thankful that we have an internet connection and a phone because I can just dial or click then feels like my friends are around me.

My online friends is always a big help to me, anytime or anywhere im at they are there to help and advice me. My online friends are very special to me, I really value our friendships even we just talk online. They are my crying shoulders when I feel sad/lonely and they make me smile. They are a big help to make me feel better specially when I miss my family or if I have some problems, I dont hesitate to tell my friends. So eventhough Im too far away from my family and friends I still feel lucky because Im not lost we are just far away from each other. Oh, I love my close friends as much as I do love my family.

Sleepless Nights

So many different reason that most of the nights, I have sleeping trouble specially if I have alot of things to do by the next day. My brain keep thinking about it, it runs like 1000miles per hour. The other reason is by the time that Im getting sleepy my husband snores and I have to wake him up and I do alot of times. And then few hours latter while I am still so sleepy then he will start yowning... I get pist! I start murmuring that before I fall asleep I hear his snore and while Im still sleepy I hear him yown... And guess what he said? " Oh, I didn't hear myself snore so how can I prevent it?". HAHAHAHA...very smart answer. But, I have notice since then that he prevent his yown in bed, he will probably do that while his drinking his coffee. Joke. But I can take nap anytime I want to though, and he will let me stay in bed as long as I want.
But Im jelous when he start snoring because that means that he is sleeping tight, but I think men snore more than women. And that's one thing that we cannot avoid so I guess Ill just have to deal with it. Because I dont wanna sleep on the couch myself..or in the other rooms.. then I would be wide awake all night long.

Neti Pot

Talking about cleaning nostrils, I use Neti Pot to irrigate my nose. It is not only good for preventing H1N1 it is also good for sinus sufferers like me, and there is alot more benefits of cleaning nostrils daily or irrigating. Just simply boiled some water and let it set for few hours until it is not hot anymore but you dont wanna use cold water either it must boiled to warm, enough that you can use it so that it dont hurt your eyes. Then, you pour the salt packet that came with the pot. Then shake it to dissolve the salt and your ready to irrigate your nostrils. You might also wanna check out www.sinuswars.com for fast and easy relief of related sinus problems. I have been a customer of sinuswars for months now, and I like the result it really helps my sinus and allergy problems. They have such a good customer service tru email or phone. But through season changing my allergies go on and off. But I atleast it is not as bad before I use these products.

H1N1 Prevention

The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).

2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.

4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*


5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.

6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

FAMILY

I am very close to my family back home, specially my mother. She is one of the best mother in the world. She is always there for her children even if they are already grown up. She took care her kids and now her grandkids. How I wish I can give her a hug because I know that she really miss me too, since she always told me. She dont say much how she feels now she keep telling me that she misses me so much.

Well, having internet is a big help for both of me and my family. They will just get online and chat with me whenever they want too, plus we can see each other tru webcam, but its too bad that I couldn't hear their voice, their headphone is not working. But I think this is still alot better than nothing at all.

Im so excited to see them soon, since we are planning to take a vacation for a month that would help some.

Web Hosting

As I joined blogging I dont have much idea on how to improve my blog. In fact I always ask my friend in Texas for help, which I cant do forever. I have no idea on how to improve my blog, and make it popular to be able to get a good rank. Then this friend of mine told me things that can help my blog to have a good rank, first is bring alot of traffics to my site and the other things that I should do is have my site be hosted.

So I started searching about website hosting and I have found a web hosting geeks website. As I read this website, Im like " this is, this is what I need!" Since they have alot to for a very affordable price accordingly of what you need on web hosting. And you can assure that you got the company you can count on. You can sit back ang relax coz you know that you got the right one.

As I went in to thier blog I have learned that they can also protect the most commonly used to attatck business sites, these are SQL injection, cros site scripting and CRLF injection.

So, if your looking for a new web hosting service just check out their website and you'll be glad that you did.

Before I got in America, my hubby bought me a used car, Lexus LS 400 as a starter car. It has fender bender already but it runs like new though.

Hot Weather

As a filipina, I know that the hot weather feels good to my skin and I know alot of people like hot weather too even white people, for they like sun bathing which is good for our skin.
Of where Im at right now it is very very cold and i dont like it at all. I keep telling my friends that I dont like the cold weather. I cant say that Im just not use to it but I know I dont like cold. It is currently about 60's in Washington State right now, and gets gonna colder and colder as we embrasses the fall/winter which is dont like the most here in Washington. It is too early to get cold and too late to warm up.
I know one place that really feels good to me( hot ) it is Arizona. Even if it is winter season it is like on 60's. I have a friend that lives there in Arizona now. And around this time is like 80's in Arizona... Oh I would love that weather. If I would have a choice where to live Arizona is first place would come to my mine and would be my first priority... If you want to live in Arizona and would want to know the weather over there just go here landscape design in Scottsdale AZ enjoy your search.

ENT's visit

It has been 2months and 7days since I had my ear surgery. And I have been to my ENT doctor 4times since surgery for the following check ups. Just yesterday we went to my doctor for the 4th time and I was somewhat happy of what I have found out. I said somewhat happy because I found out yesterday that my hearing is improving since before surgery. But it is not as good as the right ear. The right ear can hear perfectly. But I still cannot differentiate the difference of my hearing before and now. But I can differentiate when I close my other ear and try to listen from the other ear. Thats how I know that the right ear can hear better than the other one. But, as the result of my audio that my hearing is improving but not perfect yet. And I was kinda sad, because the cyst is already removed and it doesn't go back to normal yet. But anyway, I dont know anyway, whats the perfect hearing feels like in my left ear, since I had the infection as long as I can remember.

I told the doctor about all my concerns, and he said that it is not a big deal as long as there is no more infection , im still in a healing process. He still want to see me by spring. So far he is happy with the result, we just all hope that the desease wouldn't come back anymore.

The doctor told me that he was really surprise that it didn't turn into much complications for the infections was really bad. He think that I was lucky I didnt have serious complications that could be a life threatning. I do believe that God watch over me, mostly on day of my surgery. Of course, I have been praying to Him not only for bad times, but I do talk to Him every morning and night and even if I didn't hear His voice talking to me but I know that He responce my prayers because He has always been good to me. The more faith I have for Him.

Im soo happy that Im cyst free and hopefully will go back to normal life.

Elephant Painting

As I watch on tv the National Geographic Channel I was really amazed by the elephants in Thailand that can paint really really good!!. It was really unbelievable!! They are really well trained. I really enjoyed watching the elephants painting, they seems to be pretty smart elephants.
I do believe that all people can learn of doing something hard if we only try harder. Because people are the smartest creature in this world. If you have not heard about this elephants painting yet, well I have this video for you. Hope you'll enjoy it!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He7Ge7Sogrk

Garden is Over

Since it starts to cool down the garden is until today only because it will go below freezing tonight. We have been trying to save as much produce as much we possibly can. We have been given it away. But there are still many out there that needs to be picked. There are just too many produced from our garden, we couldn't eat them fast enough. It was fun having garden because I go out there and pick the produce and we eat our own hardwork that produced great. But there were alot of cauliflower that were too old to eat so I cant remember that we ate those.

We still planning to have garden next year but start it earlier so that we can enjoy it longer than this year. Hubby thinking to buy a small green-house start 'em. I think it will be alot better next year because I will pretty much done with other chores that I did year at home so I can spend

Today, I baby sit the son of our friend for 2 hours. This is just temporary though I think since he already have baby sitter but I baby sit him today because the kid of his baby sitter got sick. He was really a good baby... he was really behave.

It was a good experience for me baby setting other people's baby. Well, I used to baby sit my neice and nephews but my sister and whoever in the family was there to assist me. But eventhough Im alone baby sitting the little baby it was fine 'coz he was a good baby. But he just didn't like if I let him lay down, he will try to get up.

Here are the pics of the chuncky baby that I baby sit today and I think he'll be backtomorrow.

dandruff and falling hair

Dandruff has been my problem since I got here in America,,, I have tried few different shampoo but seems like none of them really works that great. Well, there was one that seems to be okay but it didn't make my hair smells good and shiny. So I tried another one, and I really like the smell and it works fine with dandruff my big problem with this shampoo is there alot of falling hairs from me, and im worry to become bald which makes two of us.... lol. Seriously, Im worry that this falling hair will last long because evertime I brush my hair there's so many hairs,, and im thinking to change shampoo again.
My friend over in VA called me just the other day, and asked me if I experience dandruff,, and ask me what is the best shampoo for it, and I really couldn't tell her for Im still trying to figure out whats the best for my hair.
And a friend of mine from Texas told me that the dry weather caused this dandruff but I dont know what caused my hair falling maybe it's the shampoo.... Well, I cant give up on searching the best shampoo for me for I hate dandruff it makes my scalp so itchy, it really bothers me mostly at night, one reason that I couldn't sleep very good.

Crazy computer

Im so pissed with my computer because when I start typing for my post it will just disappear not knowing what happen..... And im already half way with my post. And have to do it all over again. I have been trying 3times and same thing happened.. I wonder what caused these? It cant be the signal, im still on to the other sites...
Well this post is just a trial and see if it will go through...

Pinch Nerve

For about 2 weeks straight my husband is been complaining about his right arm that would go asleep once he lay down to go to sleep. It kept waking him up in the middle of the night, then when he gets up it feels better but when he go back to bed alot of time it will fall asleep again. It really worry's me. One time, I have read it online that it caused by poor blood circulation, some of them said that they couldn't find any matter. And just yesterday my husband ask his friend about his arm and his friend told him that it is a pinch nerve, and that's what also said by the woman who works in health food store. That woman told him that he needs some massage and probably thats what his friend told him too....
Last night I saw him on his massage chair had his back massaged, and this morning he told me that his arm didn't sleep last night it only felt like its going to sleep but it didn't. So im soo glad because im really worry about his arm plus when wakes up in the middle of the night or whenever it awakes me too, so its no fun! Because I have very hard time to fall asleep and he dont. So, everytime that happens I worry and kinda pist at the same time,. How I wish to fall asleep easy so that I dont have to listen to my husband's snore! LOL.....
Anyways, I hope that he will get better or should I say continue feeling better about his arm and I'll also push him to do workout and continue to get on his massage chair have his back massaged.

Depressed

When I got here in the US I started feeling wierd like depress and anxiety, I wasn't like this at all back in the Philippines. I have been telling my husband that I am depressed but he didnt understand why but I couldn't explain to him either because there is just alot of stuff thats going on in my life. For my husband everything is just normal but it is not for me. Everything is new and needs adjustments.
It is so hard being away to my real home and family. Just the other day, I was talking to my girlfriend on the phone who got in VA just last month and her husband said that she is depressed even if she didnt say much about it. And me and my gf are trying to incourage each other to forget depression. Hay! it is so hard to fight on ur own feelings... but I have to fight it for Im too young to be crazy...

I'm little bit guilty

My husband's pick up truck needed some repairs because we met slight accident last July 2. This morning he asked me to drive the car to Steves Auto Shop either ill follow him or be ahead of him. So I choosed to be ahead of him because I'll panic if somebody's behind me and wants to pass me. Then when we were on the road, I realized that I'm not sure where's Steve's Auto Shop at although I have been there few times but this time its gonna be little different because im driving and have to look for the building. So, I was looking for my cellphone which I thought I put close to me but I couldn't find. I kept on driving while my other hand is finding my cellphone. I took a quick look in my purse and it wasn't there. I was gonna call my husband and tell him to go ahead and passed me when he get a chance so that he can lead to the auto shop since I wasn't sure where it's at.
When we get to town I thought I saw the the auto shop building but I wasn't really sure because there was a Semi Truck on the way. When I looked back to my husband's pick up he had his turn signal on to that road where the building is at but I didn't have enough time to turn. So, I drove ahead and dont know where to go for im not familiar with the road. Thank God my husband passed me and I followed him. So he stopped on a stop sign and then drove ahead then when it was my turned to stop on a stop sign I stopped and I could see the red pick up truck coming and he had his right turn signal on so first thing came to my mine that he will make a right turn on the road where I was on. So, I softly stepped on gas and came to find out that the guy in a red pick up had to step on his break for I pulled in front of him because I thought he was gonna turn on the road I was on since he had his right turn signal. I was really guilty because I shouldn't done that according to my husband. But, everything was good besides that. He thinks that Im ready to get an American Driver's License since I only have Philippine Driver's License. And I think im getting comfortable to drive by myself in town. But for now I dont look forward to drive by myself in town again. But someday... in God's willing!!!

Summer Vacation

Im soo excited going to Alaska to see my Sister-in-Law, her husband and maybe some of her family. Also Im soo excited going to fish. I really miss fishing. When I was just little girl back in our Island in Bohol me and my friends used to fish in fishponds. I really enjoyed it. And it has been so many years that I didn't go fishing. But here is gonna be a little different because we are not going to fish in fishpond. Hopefully, we are going out in the ocean to catch bigger fish, since hubby told me that we will just stay along the lake I think..... I dont know but he also mention that we might go out in the ocean... thats gonna be so cool and exciting. Well, soon we will see. This thursday is our flight going to Alaska and will be home the 28th of this month. And for that long I hope that there is gonna be internet connection over there so that I can still talk to my family and friends online.

Peanut Allergy

Last friday, before we went to the cabin me and my husband ate peanuts at home. I really liked the peanut. Until by that afternoon while we where heading to the cabin I started feeling ichy. And im thinking of anything I ate that is salty because in the Philippines everytime I ate salty foods it caused the itching. But that day I couldn't remember of any salty foods I ate and I was thinking about maybe peanut causes this itchyness but that cant be because I have been eating any kinds of peanuts in the Philippines. But thats the only food I can think causes my itchyness. Untill today I still feel itchy but I will not scratch myself really hard it might leave ugly looking spots. Hope that this will go away soon.

Anxiety Caused by Homesick?

I think anxiety attacks me everynow and then which is soo terrible. At first, it feels like im scared, then my heart start pound really really fast then I would feel like im gonna past out and I feel worst. My whole body would shake so bad and sometimes I'd do it on purpose to entertain my mine.. The last attact was just last sunday night, I got really scared. And im blaming this of being homesick because if im not doing anything I think about home home, and how it is here in the US. It is not easy being away from family and home, eventhough I have new family here but still alot of things makes me homesick.. First of all is being soo quite here where I live, kinda far away from neighbors. I cant hear my neices and nephews giggles, cry, fight, or any kinds of noise from my family that I used to hear.. I cant see very many people here walking down the street which I see alot at home. If I get bored there ill just walk to my neighbors house or friends house or I go wherever I go that can entertain the bored mine.. It is just easy at home to go around, friends and family are just close by. Eventhough it is better here in the US for comfort but still cant buy my homesickness.. Im just soo close to my family and friends over there.. HUH!!! Nganung ni enter? but im not regreating being here either because im with the man who really loves me. In fact, I feel so lucky to have him in my life. He gives me his very best love which I really appreciate, he may be goofy being a teaser but he is really great to me. So, I just have to do my best to adopt here totally because this is my second home, and hopefully I can do it very soon cause it soo hard being in my situation which is bad because it caused me have anxiety sometimes,and ill do my best to avoid thinking sad things that can worry me.
