My blog is not specific to anything. I just post my experiences, thoughts, anything under the sun. I started blogging in 2008. That's 4 years ago, wew! So far I have a total of 558 posts, with 34 followers (thanks guys), 96,439 page views (when I check while writing this). I have a total of 3 blogs here in blogger but this one is which I am really active. Well I also have a blog about being a mom, wife, friend, worker... being a woman. Just in case you wanted to join and be a writer/author, share your thoughts... no money involve just sharing ideas. Just tell me and maybe we can share to the world how great it is to be a woman and be of help to others.

Looking at those top ten it looks like most people are finding my blogs because of money, info search, food, health concern, and koreanovela. I am hoping to have more readers and share my ideas to the world. @_@

Search by Name

Wew.... I've been to HK before but I don't remember anyone who is currently there. Hmmm I wonder who is this....??? Just curious... I know this person might be from somewhere else too, maybe their email server is based in HK. hmmm...... Thanks for visiting my blog anyway.

Our New Bathroom

The construction of our new bathroom is done. Yey, I am happy with the outcome and still planning to add more accessories like mirrors etc. See the pics below.

Thermometer from Citibank Rewards

I did a balance transfer to zero out my citibank card thinking of closing it. I then decided to avail of the Citibank Rewards before I give them a call. I process it online and with points I have I was able to get this thermometer. Anyway I was not able to close my card because I started using it again :-).

Non-Diminution of Benefit

I've read online that the principle of non-diminution of benefits states that "any benefit and supplement being enjoyed by employees cannot be reduced, diminished, discontinued or eliminated by the employer."

 I've googled this kind of info since there is an issue at the office wherein the drop off points of our shuttle service will be removed. Instead everybody will just be service up to the gate of EPZA. I am not sure though if this can be considered a diminution of the said "benefit" since it is not on our contract. It is existing for I would say 4-5 years but still not on our contract. I will be greatly affected by this decision and definitely there is nothing I can do. Anyways, its not the end of the world, I want to be positive and hope to find the light at the end of the tunnel. I wonder how long this tunnel is, hehe.

Kitchen and Bathroom Construction

Just wanted to post some pictures of the ongoing extension of our house. Its been 9 days since the construction started and I guess since we only have one worker that is why it takes that long. Anyway my husband is helping in ways he could.

The Bathroom

That rectangular part on the left is for the bath tub

The roof

The wall 

Ceiling Construction

With roof but no ceiling yet

The kitchen sink

Now with ceiling but still lots of works needed

You will not see any beauty in it yet. I hope everything will look good afterwards. Haaays... the bathroom already have tiles on the wall and the bath tub is on its place. I'm kinda not satisfied with the position of the tub because the inclined part is on the shower side which makes harder for someone to reach it. Anyway... I'll try to post more pictures. 

Lime Lily Paint

Someone commented about our painting job to post a picture of the lime lily paint. Well here it is. Sorry though because I don't have a good camera. But I guess at least it will give you an idea how it looks like. I just took a shot near our window.

Google Tablet

David will turn 7 this June is requesting for a gadget. An itouch, iPad and laptop are my choices, wew! Kids now a days are really techie that they wanted gadgets at a very small age. We will no longer held a birthday party as what the custom is if the child is celebrating his 7th birthday. Some may think that this is too much as a gift specially we are not a rich family. There are lots of things that I was not able to give him like birthday celebration on his 1st birthday, gift when he got 2nd place in kindergarten and much more. We all want to give the best to our kids and this is something that I know will make him really happy. We just need to discipline him to balance his school and playtime. I hope I still have some available credits on my card on his birthday to buy his request. 

Anyway my mom told me about Google Tablet which I also searched online. The said gadget is plan to be released this coming July. The extension of the release was made to make the said tablet more affordable. I am thinking if David maybe can wait until its released. I am also excited about it and I think its gonna be half the price of an Ipad. 

A New Bathroom

Today will be the first day of the construction of our new bathroom. Yehey! This is not really planned, its all because of the "hollow blocks." hehe... My husband told me that the construction people in our subdivision our selling hollow blocks at a lower price so we decided to buy it along with some cement. And this is where it all started. First plan is just to build a structure in preparation for a new bathroom. Thanks to East West Bank who send me a pre-approved loan payable in one year so we decided to finished the bathroom so we can remove the original one and have a bigger space for our receiving area. While we were planning my son David mention about having a bath tub and I liked the idea, so we decided to get one. (wew!) We went to Wilcon Depot and hunt for an affordable bath tub. I have no idea of how much a bath tub is. I thought we may not be able to afford it and everything will just be a dream. We find koller bath tub with a price range of 5k-8k. Our first choice is a navy blue tub but when we looked for a toilet bowl set I saw an apple green (my favorite color) so we decided to change the bath tub. We ordered a white one instead. Our plan is to have our shower together with the bath tub so you will be stepping in the tub while taking a shower. Similar to the picture below, I'll post a picture when its done. 

I am excited and I hope everything will be fine and will end up beautifully. We haven't purchased tiles yet for the floor and the wall and I am thinking of what would be a good combination with the toilet as apple green and the bath tub being white. I'm sure we will visit Wilcon Depot again for the tiles. 

Though our house is small I wanted it to be something I am excited to go home with. We just moved in May of last year and there are still lots of things to be done. Actually we don't have ceiling yet which is my next plan maybe in December. Thank you Lord for all your blessings!

Jesus You Are So Good

Jesus, you are so good
Jesus, you are so good
There's nothing to fear
Cause I'm here in Your presence

Jesus, you are so good
Jesus, you are so good
And I just want to thank you
With every beat of my heart

You've given me eternal life
And Your Word to light my way
You've given me Your Spirit
With new mercies every day

You've given me a confidence
And my soul is filled with peace
For You are a provider
You supply my every need

I was at work when someone asked for a little help and all of a sudden I felt that Jesus is so good to me. In spite of all the problems that I have financially since I am the only working I can still send my kid to a good private school, we can still go out and eat in a good restaurant once in a while, we eat three times a day, I can still buy some vices (blouse, make up etc, hehe), so many things to be thankful for. Truly God works... sometimes we don't understand why bad things are happening to us. Just continue to be faithful to Him and you'll see how faithful He will be to you as well. Thank you Jesus for your unfailing love even though I am not a good servant you always shower your love to my family.
