DH is in KUWAIT

I got a chance to talk to Jason thru YM yesterday afternoon, he said that he is in Kuwait and is waiting for a briefing and his ticket to come here, He doesnt know yet what time and day he will arrive in Manila.
Tomorrow Jaden and I will be going to Manila, I will just wait for him there so we can spend more time together..

where is he?

yesterday DH told me that hes leaving for bahgdad and then to kuwait where they will give him his ticket to come here.. he was suppose to leave 2 days later but the army is always inconsistent so he took off earlier than expected.
Now i bought another ticket from cebu pacific and im leaving on saturday instead.. urghhh............ whatever..
We will have to walk in at the USEM when hubby arrives in Manila, I dont want to wait until Sept. 17 for Jaden's appointment.
right now im waiting for his call, where could he be??? maybe he is stuck somewhere.. I told him to contact me as soon as he is in Kuwait...

my favorite seafood dish



I love seafood especially when its fresh, I cook as much as I can to provide my son healthy and delicious meals for him. Introducing seafood's to my son was very tough because I thought that he is allergic to it but I was wrong. Home cooked dishes are the best and affordable too as to compare it when you dine outside.3
The Great American Seafood cook-off is featuring top chefs around the nation cooking with seafood's from their home state, this is sponsored by the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board. The chefs will showcase their talent in a cook off contest and develop their camaraderie among its competitors.
I personally like Chef Tafari Campbell Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrot of Maryland because of the variety of vegetables and seafood's in it, The reason why I choose this recipe is that my son loves carrots so I'm sure he's going to like this and the delectable seafood's that's in it too. At his age my son is very picky when it comes to food that is why its important for me to serve only the best meals for him.
Visit www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com, vote or choose your favorite recipe and get a chance to win a trip to New Orleans prize package. You will also learn different recipes about seafood's products. It is very important to consume domestic seafood because it will be fresh and would taste great, plus it helps the livelihood of the local fisherman.

CRBA/US PASSPORT APPOINTMENT

I have been waiting for ACS to call me since last week for my son's appearance at the USEM in Manila, so I decided to call them today and they told me that I gave them the wrong number, OK whatever.. I was so disappointed because I was hoping that they will schedule us on the first week of September but when I asked if we could have it on Sept. 3 they said there's no available schedule anymore and the next available appointment is on Sept. 17, well at least my husband is still here during those times.

Now I don't know if I will bring my son on Sunday to go to Manila.. hmm what do you think?? I already bought him a ticket and I'm thinking maybe I can re booked it when we will have to go again to Manila for his appearance.
hay this is so stressful!!!

ALL OUT WAR



you all know by now whats happening to our fellow Filipino in Lanao del norte area, I'm in full support of the all out war against MILF, they should be punished and held responsible for the blood shed, chaos and barbaric act that they have done 2 days ago, the government should not tolerate this...

My father is a retired Phil. Army and was assigned in Lanao last 2001, he was a driver of the CO they got ambushed by that MILF rebels and a shrapnel hit his arm, thank God it wasn't that serious (tapsing ra) coz he jumped out of the vehicle right on time and defended his life against the enemy. I would never forget that day, I couldn't imagine how the people of Lanao are suffering right now, my heart goes out to the innocent children and civilians who cant defend themselves. I really hope that the Govt. will act now and CRUSHED those MILF rebels!!!!

Cagayan de oro is a 3-4 hours away from Lanao, and we are going to celebrate our city fiesta 2 weeks from now, I think its better if I will just stay at home because they might take advantage of our occasion.

If you havent heard the news about the attack of MILF in Lanao, pls click HERE.

Army, his battalion before was always assigned to the remote areas in Mindanao, where ever my dad is we also go with him even if it's in a far place with no electricity and the only recreation I remember before was playing Bingo, it was fun all the military spouses were gathering every afternoon just to play Bingo, as a kid I also join them and learned how to play that game just by observing other players, It was such a great experiences back then.

Now that I'm a mother to my very active son I make sure that I can create a bonding moment with him so when he grow up he can recall how happy we are during those times.

magnanakaw???

Ive been busy this past few days because we have some family friends staying at home for several days, since my sister is in Talakag to do her 48 hours Hospital duty my mum decided to sleep in my house with that family friend. They were sleeping at our sala near the door, at 4 am my mum wake up coz she needs to pee, then she heard that some one is trying to open the gate slowly so it made that squeaking sound, she was curious and waited what will happen and thought that it was just my neighbor, then she heard footsteps towards our door, my mum saw a guy wearing a hooded jacket and wearing a camouflage short and was holding our doorknob from outside trying to open our door, then my mum shouted UNSAY TUYO NIMO DONG? ( what do u want)..
the guy suddenly run as fast as he could and disappeared in the darkness.
OH My goodness when mama told me about this when i wake up I got so scared, sometimes it is only me and Jaden staying here and there are times that I forgot to look the door, its really terrifying knowing that there are some bad people that lives around this place. I already knew that there are kawatan(thief) here because some of our neighbor's rooster got stolen last year and my Jansport backpack is lost when I left it outside after I washed it in the morning.
But this one is different, imagine he wants to get inside my house, ang lakas ng loob ng walang hiya.. I always thought that ang mga akyat bahay uses the backdoor or window para pumasok sa bahay, hmm thing's have change na pala..
I told my mama sana she turned on the lights outside so she could recognize the guy's face who tried to break in, but she said she got scared also..
My mama is really an ANGEL to us.. Thank GOD we're safe.

Exederm: your Eczema solution




My husband is suffering from eczema while he is in Iraq, he always complains how itchy it was and I told him to go see a medic and let them examine his stinky feet but as always he was being stubborn and didn't seek help until his feet was bleeding so the finding's was eczema and provided him with an ointment for his skin condition, now his feet doesn't itch anymore, I always reminded him to use clean socks before putting on his boots. My husband told me that Eczema is very common skin disease among the soldiers over there, I guess because of their working condition plus the weather.
Eczema is also know as Dermatitis, or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. Eczema can occur on just about any part of the body; however, in infants, eczema typically occurs on the forehead, cheeks, forearms, legs, scalp, and neck.
Thank God Jaden and I never had Childhood Eczema, I take good care of my son skin because it's very sensitive, I only use hypo allergenic products and make sure everything that sorrounds him is safe and clean.

FRUSTRATED

I'm so mad at my husband right now because he is so stupid he cant even mail me the forms correctly, I don't know what to do in order for him to understand that I needed those paper for our son's passport but he is so stubborn and very IMMATURE!!!
Instead of sulking here at home I'm gonna go shopping and pamper my self, yup that's right JASON I'm going to spend your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't care if you ever come here I'm not talking to you................
GROW UP!

The Smart glove

Imak

I'm always in front of my computer after doing all of my household chores, I surf the net, shop online, read interesting articles or just write on my blog. Ive notice that most of the time I feel wrist pain and back aches or usually my right hand becomes numb from scrolling the mouse, it is so irritating and it really hurts when this things happen to me.
When I read about this opp I found out the I'm suffering from Carpal Tunnel syndrome which is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to pain, paresthesias, and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand, I also learned that this is more common to women than men. Well I hope that I can have something to protect myself from acquiring this condition.
Good news to all of us who uses computer in our daily lives, IMAK is introducing their product that can help us from having carpal tunnel syndrome, they have smart gloves which increases comfort and circulation, ensures ergonomically correct wrist position, it is flexible, washable and relieve wrist pain associated with CTS, arthritis and tendinitis by encouraging proper hand and wrist position.
I think smartglove is better for carpal tunnel relief than taking pain relievers because they have side effects to our body.

PAL's policy

I booked my flight going to Manila using a travel agency yesterday, I bought a round trip ticket for me and a one way ticket for my hubby from MNL-CDO, after I paid everything I inform them that my son is also travelling with me, he is less than two years so I thought that Jaden's airfare would be free but this lady told me that PAL doesn't offer free airfares for infant. I wanted to yell at her but I don't want to make a scene, I asked if can just cancel my booking's but they have to take a 400 pesos per person for cancellation fee before refunding my money wtf! so I ended up buying tickets for my son too, and take note its the same amount as adults passenger, the worst part is that Jaden wont have his own seat going to Manila because of PAL's policy blah. blah, blah...
Last month we flew with PAL too but originally we bought our tickets from Air Philippines they have the same owner, our flight was cancelled and we were transferred to PAL, we didn't have any problems at all my son's airfare was free.
I was really careless and wasnt myself yesterday, I didnt even know that Cebu pacific has a promo... huhuhuh
lesson learned: dont rush thing's, read the airlines policy first and I dont want to book another ticket from Limbros travel agency again, ill go straight to PAL ticketing office in divisoria, hay naku I guess im super duper excited, kaya nangyari to!

DEPO-povera

I went to visit my OB last Friday to get a depo-povera shot in preparation of my hubby's up coming R&R. I didn't know that it would be very painful as if I was getting a HEPA Vaccine, I'm not afraid of needles or anything and I was used to get a lot of shot as a Nursing student before but this shot is the worst of all. I couldn't even lift my son for 2 days, I suffered from back pain, I keep waking up at and was very weak in the past few days.
The good news is I'm OK now, its better safe than sorry... hehehehe :) so here I am writing this blog just to update you guys. LOLZ

Sunday







We attended a mass earlier today at Limketkai Center and then I let Jaden play at the worlds of fun until he got tired and fell asleep. I did some shopping for clothes, almost all of the stores in ketkai are on SALE, Our City Fiesta is fast approaching so I guess that explain the BIG SALE. After we had lunch my sister and I decided to watch a movie and let my mum take care of Jaden. We watched MUMMY 3: tomb of the Dragon Emperor its fun and exciting movie but I was a little disappointed because Rachel Weisz was not in the movie anymore, I prefer her being the wife of Brendan Frasier in that film.
