Amaze Me!!!

I am so amazed by talented people. Like when we supply foodcarts to a birthday party and there's an invited host to do some magic and ventriloquism, I always see to it that I watch them and amaze myself with it. Galing as in super galing! (They're good!) Even with some video trailers and/or tv commercials that has an underlying meaning. It makes me think that God is really a balanced God. He placed different talents to different people so that we will have an appreciation of each other's given talent.

Like this video that I watched, you will really have a different or other interpretation of it. And upon knowing the advertiser behind it ... Talbots ... it made me want to go to the nearest store and see the new transformation of the store. And it's Red Chair Confessions who did the video for them ... (Applause!!!)

You want to see the video? Here's the link ... http://www.youtube.com/v/ZQH3l9suqBU

Try to view Talbot's site and get to appreciate their new face that's more hip, modern and affordable. They say that it's not your mom's store anymore ... it's for everybody!!!

My Wishlist ... An LCD TV!

My hubby and I have been wanting to purchase a new TV. We've been eyeing an LCD TV but budget doesn't allow us to purchase one yet. Well, by God's grace we will be able to purchase one and we'll be getting not lower than a 32" LCD TV and HD ready too. We have a Nintendo Wii and we cannot maximize its use 'coz our 21" flatscreen tv is not enough to enjoy the games.

Another reason why we would like to buy a new tv is that we cannot watch our favorite programs (especially hubby - the sports channel)!!! We are subscribed to a cable tv but we can only watch our faves when the kids are already asleep. Good thing that our favorite programs can be replayed learn more at charter.net/ondemand. Lucky me we have dsl connection and I can access Facebook anytime. You can get updates and fun extras on Charter’s Facebook page too!

With Charter's on demand more than 6,000 movies and shows can be watched anytime you want. No waiting, no schedules. If you missed one of your favorite shows, there are many of your favorites the day after they air on tv. Free!

Facebook Addiction?

I have been a member of facebook for about two going to three weeks now. And my, I got a lot of invites already coming from my high school batchmates already. And we've been keeping in touch since then. This has been a great help especially with our upcoming 20th year grand reunion ... which of course I would not miss. There are invites coming in everytime I log in to my FB account ... name it Farmville, Yoville, CafeWorld, Restaurant City ... and a whole lot more. I was just accepting these invites and friends are always reminding me to create my Farmville account already ... I don't want to get too addicted to this FB game. It's like a Real Property Management game where you get to harvest your own crops, grow your own livestock, etc. But of course, talk about addiction ... I think I'm getting addicted to Cafe World. Hehehe ... thought I won't be ...

see you around!

My Milking Experience

During the time that I was preggy with Adriel, I was really conditioning myself to breastfeed him. I wasn't successful with breastfeeding with my 1st and 2nd sons so I was into breastfeeding Adriel this time. Part of the preparation is not planning to buy any new baby bottles for him - as in I didn't buy even a single bottle. I only brought with me my almost new electric pump (since I wasn't able to breastfeed my 2nd too) to the hospital, no formulas too. So, the big day came for my CS operation and that was September 4. I tried to breastfeed Adriel the day after my operation so that he can get the colostrum. I don't know if he got some but two days after that's when I noticed that a yellowish substance coming out of my boobies so I guess that's the colostrum - so I immediately went back to the nursery to nurse him and give him the most important anti-bodies.

At home, I was nursing him 24/7 - 2 days has passed until after a week, Adie was really crying. He's not getting enough milk from me. I got worried 'coz I might get in the same situation with my 2nd. I was nursing him 24/7 for a week already and he wasn't getting enough milk from me so he had fever and was advised to give him infant formula as supplement. So, I mixed feed at once.

Anyways, with over a dozen of infant formulas in the market today it's really hard for moms like me who has limited budget to choose which formula is best for my baby. Actually, all infant formulas are all the same some are really expensive 'coz they pay for the tv and print advertisements. So it's better to read on the label before buying any brand of infant formula 'coz there are brands that are called store brand formula not so much advertised but are as good as those that are advertised.

Just my two cents!
