Mulan

The lil boy is watching Mulan on Disney Channel now. I have not seen this Disney animated movie all through out but I have seen parts of it many times. The lil boy seem engrossed in watching it. It kept him away from the kitchen where I am sterilizing his bottles.

I hope it will keep him still for awhile until I’m done. Now gotta go back to the kitchen while the lil boy continues to watch Mulan.

This Two-Hour Rotational Brownout

Is it inconvenient? For a mom who has a three year old lil guy in the house, it can be somehow especially when it gets hot and you have to constantly and manually fan the lil one so he won’t sweat so much. For today, we are now experiencing it and waiting for one hour more to go.

I just thought awhile ago, that to make it easy for me, I’ll just think this is our version of Earth Hour happening everyday two one-hours in a row. Earth Hour is only for an hour. This brownout is for two hours now since the late afternoon Thursday announcement from the local electric company. Let’s think we are doing this for mother earth. Actually we can do more. Save energy consumption every day though we cannot do away with that with the A/C for the lil boy and it is summer already and has become so hot lately. Hubby would say we have to make it comfortable for the lil guy in the house.

Don’t forget friends the real Earth Hour 2010 event on March 27, 2010 Saturday from 8:30PM to 9:30PM. Switch off your lights for one hour for mother earth… for the Earth Hour. Your little contribution is significant. If everyone in the country participate sin this, it will still make a significant difference. If you could do it everyday, why not? There need not be an event for us to do something for mother nature.

Book Hunting

A few days ago my sis texted me was asking me if I have seen the movie Dear John. No I have not except for the movie trailer on TV and that prompted me to go on a book hunting for a copy of the book Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. But it was no longer available in the local store NBS so I thought I might find a copy of it among the Amazon books. While book hunting online as some are on 50% bestsellers every day, I suddenly remembered something.

I have to add that I wanted to buy a copy of the book “Julie & Julia” by Julie Powell whose movie version I have seen recently and I liked this movie because it is about blogging and cooking which I love and would love to learn, respectively. The book is only about $1.99 online.

Yes I am buying books again coz I need to go back to reading. It has been my passion since early grade school thanks to those book report requirements way back then that I have come to love reading books. I wanna feed my mind too. It has been “hungry” for a few years now since I have neglected reading since I started working and started my own family.

Home Sweet Home

We really wanted to be living in our very own home sweet home. Who wouldn’t want it especially those who have a family of their own like us? The boys and I were at the mall yesterday before hubby went to work. We passed by these real estate agents from various real estate companies. It reminded me of our plan to get a new and better house located in a favorable place and location hopefully for hubby and our family.

As we were looking at a leaflet given to us, there were no computation on the home mortgage loan attached to it. I hope we have a free mortgage calculator which will help us us decide as it figures out the monthly payments of a possible home mortgage loan for us like based on selling price of the house, as well as the term of the desired loan, down payment required, plus the housing loan’s interest rate.

Knowing these info will help us decide if we can afford the new home mortgage loan if ever we decide to go for it. We might give up the old housing loan of the house we are still continuing to pay, if we could find a new home to buy. Continually hoping and praying that the Lord will bless us more in our work so we can save a lot more coz we have a long way to go yet. But hoping sooner or later we will be living in our own home sweet home!

Architectural Style

While waiting for the lil boy to finish eating and watching TV, I decided to browse through for those pine shutters I saw at a coffee shop we passed through last week. It looks something like this one on the photo.

It gives the place a nice architectural style that I wish we can have as part of the design in our dream home. I used to browse through this custom shutter company site which has pine shutters that are hand crafted and  custom built made of high quality material and guaranteed superior craftsmanship. It both has durability and good design of shutters that adds style to one’s dream home.

Tata Benito’s Coffee Mug

Tata Benito’s a whole latte love coffee mug which I was still trying to decide to buy or not yesterday when we were at their coffee shop in Robinson’s Cybergate. I’ll try to buy this next time with the set that costs P350. I’d like to add this to my collection of coffee mugs from different coffee shops we’ve been to. Or if someone will give it to me as a birthday gift then I’ll be very happy to accept it, right dad? LOL!

Good Night

Good night friends! It has been a long, long day. Fortunate to have a break earlier having dinner with the boys out before we went to the grocery to buy some stuff for th lil boy’s needs. Then hubby and I were able to have a little break for our selves by dropping by the coffee shop and haing some time to relax while the lil boy sleeps. Then off we went to the grocery and back home in no time. Thank you lord for the blessings and for this poductive day.
