Spending every minute (literally!) with the little girl for the past three days is turning out to be a fun experience. Tiring, oh yes but extremely fun nonetheless. Being yayaless for a while makes me appreciate and respect stay-at-home-moms more who solely take care of their kid/s. I know a few who don’t have a yaya to depend on and I must say, I admire them, really. It’s no joke. I wonder how they manage to take care of their kids, blog, scrap, chat and blog some more all at the same time. I am just simply not one them. They are all supermoms in their own right. You know who you are, mommies Hats off to all of you. As I have always been reiterating, I’m no good at multi-tasking, period.

Right now, Jon’s here watching the little girl so I have a few minutes to stay in front of the computer. My day won’t seem to be complete without doing so. I need to check mails, assignments, and post an entry or two. Blogging has been a part of me already, seriously. For some reason, I need to check and post an update on my blog no matter how busy I am. I find that weird, don’t you?

Today was a good day. We heard mass and the little girl was just sitting in between Jon and I the whole time. No tantrum, no shouting, no anything. Just sitting when asked to, kneeling when its the time to and standing when we need to. Oh goody, is she really that “big” a girl already? I am just so happy and proud She even whispers when she talks to us while inside the church. Oh, one uber proud mommy here We ate at Gloria Maris after and went to Timezone in ATC to give the little girl her arcades fix. She was delighted of course.

Tomorrow, its going to be the end of the year. I can’t seem to believe that year 2007 is over but it is. I can’t be more than thankful to the BIG MAN up there who has been constantly so good to us this year and the years before. He has blessed us with so much that sometimes we wonder if we are even worthy of the blessings he has showered our way. I hope we are.

From our family to yours, Happy New Year! May we all have a bountiful 2008

Are you addicted to poker? My husband is. He plays poker with friends and online too. Recently, he discovered a poker odds calculator on the internet at MagicHoldem. Oh, how delighted he was. This poker calculator makes you dominate your opponents, win more hands and make playing online poker easier. Holdem calculator was created with the help of Professional Poker players and Award Winning Statistic Experts so it will give you the most accurate odds and offers and the best professional advice you can’t find anywhere. Their website is very user friendly so it’s very easy to navigate. Colors are very easy on the eyes too. Jon is almost always at MagicHoldem’s site I’m telling you.

The yaya is on vacation.

My hands are full with the little girl.

I’m happy though that she’s not giving me a hard time.

I’m hoping to get to post pictures and real updates later tonight.

Thanks for the comments. I love them I just can’t get myself to reply now though. Sorry.

And to the tags, please bear with me. Will do them once I have the time.

I need to sleep now with the little girl as I badly need to have some decent shut eye. I have had too much of partying  already.

The final results of the World Salsa Championships 2007 are already out with videos of the breathtaking performances to boot. Partners performing the salsa dance is something I love to watch as I find the dance very sensual. I love how they move to the salsa beat or music that sometimes I wish I learned the dance a long time ago when I was still younger. Not only will it boost my confidence and make me feel good, I bet salsa dancing will also keep me fit.

A lot (and I mean a LOT) of my former classmates are now based in Dubai and working. They have nothing but the best to say about this beautiful city. One time, Jon and I were able to catch a show on television featuring the tallest hotel in the world which happens to be in this lively city. Burj Al Arab is by far the tallest hotel in the world now. It is a work of art that never fails to amaze every Dubai visitor. Such excellent place comes a steep (very steep!) price of course. Although staying in hotels is the most common choice of tourists, there is a cheaper alternative that is just as relaxing and convenient sans the very steep price. At http://www.dubaiapartments.biz/, you can look for a self catering apartment in Dubai as an option to staying in expensive hotels. Dubai Apartments is an online short term rental portal that connects tourists with owners of Dubai furnished apartments and Dubai hotel apartments. They are by far the the biggest short term rental portal in Dubai with over 120 self catering properties that even include Villas Dubai that make excellent accommodation to people used to luxury and who want all the comforts of what they’re used to during their short stay in the city.

Dubai Apartments is the ultimate apartment provider of Dubai so for that pleasurable, hassle free experience of Dubai so plan your accommodations with them when you are to visit the city.

A day after Christmas, the most awaited holiday of the year, here I am, blogging in the computer room of my mom’s house trying to finish expiring assignments while Sophia and Jon are both in deep slumber in the other room. My mom’s high-pitched voice is at the background while I type away telling me all sorts of stories from our neighbor who just came home from Japan to my cousin who earns 50 dollars per hour in the US. She sounds like a Cristy Fermin reporting from The Buzz sans the deep and “matalinhagang” words. This is our way of catching up

Yesterday was a tiring day. Merry but tiring. Food was also everywhere. I still feel full until today with everything I ate yesterday. Sophia, on the other hand, seriously needs to catch up on her sleep while I need to finish assignments badly

Later, we’ll be attending a Christmas party with my high school friends at Fontana. We’ll be going back home tomorrow morning and I’ll be yayaless after a day which means less time with the pc (we’ll see ). Wish me luck!

I found an interesting charity project over the net one evening while I do my usual surfing that accepts boat donations and sells them on ebay for half the price of the boat’s appraised value at www.charityboatsales.org for the purpose of producing, creating and distributing absolutely free of charge Children’s Christian Animations on DVDs. The free DVDs can be previewed online at www.carangel.com/projects.html. Recently, they have just completed an AntiDrug use Documentary – www.dopethemovie.org, starring skateboard legends Jay Adams from Dogtown’s Z Boys, Christian Hosoi, Dennis Martinez (world champion), Bruce Logan (world skateboarding champion) in their rise to fame, fall from drugs and redemption.

This Charity Boat Donations project is something we should all support as it is for a very worthy cause. We should find it in our hearts to help out any little way we can as we have been so far blessed with so much things we hardly don’t need anymore. It’s now probably time to give back a little of what we have.  So let’s all help spread the word about this project and make a difference.

Here’s wishing you and your family happy moments together on Christmas.

Merry Christmas!!!

Jon, Jane and Sophia

We left the house at 2pm yesterday for the 3pm Barney Show in Araneta Coliseum yesterday. We arrived just in time. Met with Jackie (with Marla), Mary (with Migs) and Lala (with Summer and Sage) at the front gate. We were seated second row from the stage but a bit on the left side which was fine with us. The minute we came in, Barney started singing. Talk about just in the nick of time hahaha. The kids were all ecstatic. Sophia was singing and dancing and we were all proud and happy mommies. Babaw noh?

Sophia enjoyed the show as much as she enjoyed the Sesame Street Show last time at Aliw Theater. I would say though that production wise, the Sesame Street Show was a notch higher. Hence, price wise, tickets were more expensive that time. The Barney show was still good though but parang di pinagkagastusan talaga. But I think kids don’t know that naman ;p Anyway, I love all the songs in the Barney show. I was singing along with Sophia all the time with matching actions pa. LOL.

Here are some pics. So pathetic, we didn’t get a pic of us while inside. We were late thats  why and by break time we were all busy eating.

Pics at Timezone in Gateway after the show.
