Dream

Last night was very stranged because I've been having a bad dream the whole night and keep startling every time it woke me up. I was having probably five nightmares in just one night, which is weird because that's too much for me to handle. When I feel very stress or feeling weary during the day, I always get a horrible and unexplainable dream at night that will made me want to run. In my dream my feet was glued to the ground, so I can't even moved then when it woke me up beads of perspiration was all over my face.
It has been said in one of the article that a dream is a succession of images, sounds, and feeling experienced while sleeping, particularly strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and biological purposes are not fully understood though they have been a topic of speculation and interests throughout history.

Happy Anniversary!

The happiest day of my life is when I'm married to my wonderful and sincere husband. Still in love since the day I met him because of the unconditional love that we both shares. Today seems not enough for both us so we decided to let our parents watch our daughter while we went out to spend the day together. We started our day just holding in each other's arms with a breakfast in bed and later today we went out doing some shopping, pampering each other for a couple's massage and then went back home to take our daughter with us for our dinner reservation at the Sun Dial Restaurant her in Atlanta. It's the first time I've been to this very elegant restaurant where my husband sets a reservation to surprised me. It has a panoramic view of the city and it rotates as well for everyone to see every angle of the mesmerizing city. The ambiance is very romantic and soothing as well as indulging because of the varieties of menu that you can order including with a tasty glass of wine. I'm not a wine fanatic, but chardonnay will do for the lovely evening.

Happy Thanksgiving To All!

This is one of my favorite holiday of the year! Celebrating with gratitude to God Almighty for all the blessings that we possess. Indulging and sharing the traditions of foods with our family and loved ones. A few members of our family who lived closer will be spending time with us and will be rendezvoused tomorrow at my parents-in-laws who lived next house. I just loved this occasions because I got to see and meet most of the family again.

Dining Out

I loved to cook specially for my family, but sometimes dining out shared some more special bonding with the relationships as well as to strengthened the love for each other. Doesn't mean we dined out it's just about spending, but it's about a moment that we are going to treassure. Even a simple things can make it worth a million of happiness just to be with my family.

Bonding

There are times that my husband told me that he needs to spend more time with our daughter because it seems to him that they never got a bonding moment together. Every time he wakes up in the morning he always misses our daughter because she's at school around eight o' clock in a regular basis. My husband's schedule was different, so when he gets home at night our daughter was asleep most of the time. He decided to changed his days-off so he can spent time with our daughter where both of them were just at home and enjoying the family time.

Horoscopes

Do you believe in horoscopes? There are times that we wonder if we want to agree with the theories of what is emphasized in regards of a person's future depending on which month a person is born. The funny thing is when we started to think about the zodiac signs which is based on such aspects of the planets and the stars at a given moment, it seemed to manipulates our minds. Whenever we read the stated predictions of our futures according to the symbols of our birth, it gives us some kind of mixed emotions specially a feeling of being skeptical. We might even follow the directions of what is written on that signs, or thought that its just impossible to happen. In facts, we are the one who makes our own paths or future. Whatever we believed for the good benefits to ourselves, it's really up to us which way we choose to happen.

Christmas Village

My daughter and I are having so much fun
putting our little christmas village together.




While I'm trying to figure out where to put each buildings on an area, she sprinkled the snow everywhere to make it looked like it snowing and she was having a blasts.


Yes, she helped me putting it up and more curious of what am I going to let her do next on the settings of our village.










When we are finished decorating every sections and the main street, we add up the little people to where they should be and she just can't get hold enough of it.

I did let her play a little bit so she won't cry....
She pretends that she was part of the village and talk to those little people while dragging one or two pieces together around the not genuine community.




The thing that she loves most now that it's finally done is when it's time to turn on those lights because I'm letting her do it while I'm watching her. I want her to feel the excitement and magic of christmas spirits all the time that no matter what when there is darkness, there is light.

Banana Bread

I was thinking of eating the quiche that was leftover from the refrigerator yesterday morning, but when I check it was gone and thought probably my husband eat it for his midnight snacks. When I check if we still have a cinnamon roll, I did not see any from the Tupperware, so I grab the apple instead. Wondering of what to bake again for my family that they can eat anytime... Later on, I decided to baked us a large banana bread to satisfy our hunger and set the rest of it aside in the refregirator, so we can eat it whenever we want. I've been craving for it for days and I've always liked banana bread. Not eat it often though, but it's one of my favorite.

Early X'mas Gifts

My family went to visit one of our friend from Atlanta and we stayed at her house for a few hours. We haven't seen her since before my husband and I have a baby, so we are catching up a conversation about our life. She just loved our toddler that she gave my daughter all her "Hearts and Harvest Memories" collection dolls that she have for a very long time which is special to her and passed it to my daughter. I was overwhelmed because these are something that passed on to one of the family and then she told us that she always thought of us as one of her family because she was so distant from her own. Then I realized, life is different from where I grew up because everyone were so close to each other that often there's no privacy and I felt a mixed emotions for my friend and give her a big, sweet embrace.

Friendship Tag

Thank you so much AMY - Business Matters : Anything that involves around it for this wonderful and touching tag. I'm glad as well that we're friends and for seeing my blog as one of your inspiration.


And lovely are the blossoms
That are tended with great care,
By those who work unselfishly
To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,
Friendship's flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship's flower will bloom for you

My mother-in-law likes to buy us a lot of stuff specially for my daughter which is seem kind of her only grandchild. She has two grown up grandchildren, but they never seen them that often because they live from farther states of united states. Her other granddaughter now lives in New Jersey with her new job and the grandson was now in Florida just finishing high school this year. So far, my daughter and her Lola are pretty much close to each other. Her Lola likes to indulged her with so much things like I've never seen before in my life while I was a kid which is very nice of her. They are just such a lovely in-laws and I'm very much grateful for them to be part of our family and I just can't ask for more, but be thankful.

Dense Fog

Yesterday morning when I took my daughter to school, densed fog everywhere creeping along the road.















Certainly have a feeling of doubts of sadness and unexplanation of emotions that seems to hauled me into another dimensions of the earth.



















Whenever I was in the middle of the road when the fog emerged, I thought of the magical things around me that intermingled with evil which was defeated later on by the light.















I have an imaginative mind that's why I like to take pictures of everything that mesmerizes me.

Bonding With Friends

I started hanging out with this one lady whom I can call my friend in our neighborhood who has two kids. We've been known each other for a while now and I just liked her a lot! She seems very nice and kind. There are times that we likes to do some stuffs together, like going out to have fun, dining out, and shopping with our children or just have a lazy day gossiping. It's just wonderful to have a friend like her that I can talk to, laugh with and lean on. We have almost the same things in common and she reminds me of my best friend back home. We do visits each other to our individual homes so our children can play in reversed manner which we prefer. We are really hoping that our friendship will continue forever.

A couple

Every couple has its own blessings in many different ways. My husband and I been married for seven years and we do have some difficulties in life and some wonderful moments that we treasure everyday. There are times that we had fights or arguments, but we never let the day passed without settling the situation. We forget and discard the past behind and learn from it in order to keep our marriage last and divine.
We tried to listen with our hearts, not just in mind in order to understand and support each other no matter what the sources of the problems. From the day we fall in love and take that vows for better or worse through eternity, we accept every characteristics we possessed because when we love someone, we need to love the opposite personality as well on that particular person.

Got this tag from my dear friend AMIABLE AMY thank you so much dear for this wonderful tag. I really, really appreciate it!









Random 1:Reading is my passion. Everyday is an adventure everytime I read books especially written by Clive Cussler.

Our Children

In this modern generation, our kids are developing earlier than I thought they were supposed to. They learn so much from watching television rather than the basic way of learning through books, reading, school and of course parental guidance. Children are more aware nowadays of their peers. They liked to adopt the ways of the teen celebrities that they watch in their favorite shows and this is not a good sign. Parents need to minimized television viewing for the time being. Feeling better than others is something that children need to overcome especially when they use that feeling in order to feel good about themselves and gain confidence.
One day, I stumbled upon an article about a mother on how her eight year old girl had become self conscious about her body. She got worried because she wanted her daughter to be happy about herself and not feel inferior to her peers. Many young teens become pregnant each year at an early age because they get influenced by what's going on in our society.

Organized Photos

I've been doing some organizing of my husbands old family photos these last several days. I get a feeling of envy while I'm looking at the pictures of how they kept their valuable memories safe. My husband has photos from the day he was born which is really wonderful because my daughter can have them later on for keepsakes. As for myself, I remember when I was a teenager that I have one family photo in my possession when I was a little baby while my mother was holding me in her arms. Unfortunately, it got ruined where we once lived because we often had typhoons and were flooded. Now I don't have any because my family could barely afford to have a photo taken from a long time ago with five kids that needed to be taken care of. Well, I guess telling some stories from the past to my child is something for her to remember as well about me.

School Activities


School activities are important for child and parent bonding. It is very important for every parent to get involved with their child in fun activities in school because it will give them the confidence, happiness and love they need. By the time they grow up and remember all those times when their parents got involved in their life they will feel more secure.
