Winter is upon us this whole week! Temperature is averaging -30s to -40sC [with windchill] the whole week! And to top it up, kids still needs to go to school this whole week. Dang!
I can't wait for Chinook to come and give us warmer weather.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! CHEERS!

Now that I am on daily medication, I find that it is very important to deal with one pharmacy. They will have your records and they will be answer any medical questions that you may have when your family doctor is not available.
Walgreens Prescription Savings Club offers its customers a chance to buy annual memberships for $5 individual membership and $10 for families. This offer expires in January 31, 2012. With this membership, you can be sure to receive discounts on over 8000 brand name and generic prescriptions. You can also get discount on some medical supplies such as Nebulizers.
Recent press release talks about how Express Scripts and Walgreens' contract ended in December 31. Express Scripts decided to discontinue using Walgreens as part of their pharmacy provider network. This is causing disruptions on patients getting to their medications/prescriptions. Express Scripts is promoting its 90-day mail-in prescriptions where they make good profits. Even though it will be cheaper for the patients to buy it at their local pharmacies.
Let us all support Walgreens. They are open 24/7 and even have a drive through pharmacy. You can follow Walgreens on Twitter and liking Walgreens on Facebook.
Here are some winter tips. I found that blog while blog hopping... and that particular article caught my attention.
Winter is upon us. And it is better to be ready for winter driving than sorry. I will be trying the car wax and the alcohol thing... and it those works, then it wouldn't hurt to try everything in that article, right?
Mothers are always protective of their children. I'm no different. When my son went on his first out of town, overnight trip with his school, I was uneasy. It's his first time away from home on his own. This was just a bus trip, 3 hours long. But he proved to be responsible. He didn't lose anything. He didn't get in trouble. And he didn't even spent all the money that I gave him. He brought souvenir for his sister too. So sweet. That was in May of this year. He was in Grade 8.
This coming February, he is again going on a school field trip. This time it's via plane and it's going to be 4 days and 3 nights long! I think the cost was a rip off, I didn't want him to go because of the cost. But he is willing to use his own savings to go on this trip. I decided if he is willing to spend his savings, then he really wants to go. It's a good thing the school got installment plan for this one. It was just hard to put out $1000 one time. Yes, it is going to cost me that much! My son is so excited that he got his list ready on what to pack. :-)
I am who I am.
I won't change for anyone.
I like the truth and speak the truth.
If it bothers you, don't listen.
And stay away from me! You don't have to be around me, you know.
Why go through the torment of being with me if you don't like the way I talk? You know from the start that I speak my mind, whether it's something good or bad, I WILL always speak my mind.
I'm stronger because of my hard times, wiser because of my mistakes,
happier because of my sad experiences,
and smarter because of my moments of confusion.
We all go through different challenges in our lives. It could be about health, about money, about family or children or about work. It is different with everybody.
But in all of these challenges that we face, we should always remember that GOD will not give us something that we can't handle. So just trust HIM and HE will guide your way.
No matter how tough the past was, the future holds the key to true happiness, our bruises and scars just make us realize how strong we really are. Believe in yourself! We just need to learn to pick up from where we left of. Learn from the past. And the sun always shines tomorrow.
You've painted my life with different colors,
when it was all black and white!
The virtue of love is not to find the perfect person...
but to love the imperfect person PERFECTLY ;)
TO my hubby: Happy, happy 16th anniversary!!! I love you with all my heart because you complete me!
TO my 2 wonderful children: You are both my greatest accomplishments!! And I am so proud of what you've achieved so far and I am looking forward to more... Just always remember that mommy loves you very, very much!

There are so many cellphone providers these days. So how do you really choose the best provider? Do you go for the wider coverage? Or do you choose the phone first then the provider? Or do you go for the cheapest plans and best deal of all?
I guess it all depends on who is using the cellphone. If you are a business man or an income-earner in the family, you'd go for the wider coverage. But if you are just a students, then you will go for the cheapest plans and the cheapest phones.
TracFone's LG420 got So many features that even students will look like business people! It's reliable and convenient and no dropped calls. Own a phone for as little as $10. Now, that's affordable.
Check out what Real TracFone customers say about it. Who knows it better than it's current customers, right? There are no contracts, no credit checks, no activation charges or cancellation fees. And they even got a huge connection and reception. And you want to hear something else? You can even make international calls at no extra charge. Real TracFone customers truly knows best!
I haven't tried behavioral therapy with my son. But I did implement a daily routine for my son everyday, I notice that without this routine, he is always "lost" and confused.
Its important to remember that kids like my son cannot do multi-tasking, so mothers/teachers cannot give more than 2 instructions at one time. I used to give these instructions all at the same time: 5 minutes before we have to go down for the school bus I would say "it's time to go, put on your shoes, get your bag... don't forget your eyeglasses and jacket... let's go..." And my son would always shook his head in frustration and said "mommy I can't do all at the same time. You said shoes and now jacket, what do I do first?" But if these were given one at a time, he will be able to do it all with no hassle. So now I give him allowance, instead of 5 minutes, I give him 10 minutes to do all these things every morning.
How am I sure that he needs Ritalin? All I know is that my 10-year old daughter can do more stuff than my ADHD son. A simple task like putting their dirty clothes in the laundry basket, my daughter can do it without me reminding her... but with my son, his clothes will be on the floor beside the laundry basket all the time even with constant reminder. My daughter can sit for 30 minutes to 2-hour doing her activity books... my son will not last longer than 5-10 minutes. I hate comparing my kids, but it helps me understand that my son needs more help than my daughter. And the culprit is ADHD not him.
Filipinos are certainly getting into mainstream America and into the world. With an estimated 4 million Filipino-American population (as of 2007), Filipinos are an emerging group in a diverse society in the United States .
Filipino talents like Manny Pacquiao, Charice Pempengco, Arnel Pineda, Lea Salonga, and Monique Lhuiller are doing a great job pitching in!
David Letterman, apparently used Filipino-Americans in one of his skits.
Here’s the recap:
Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn’t Be a Filipino-American US President By David Letterman
10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended relatives.
9. There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for 2 Honda Civics,2 Toyota Land Cruisers, 3 Toyota Corollas, a Mercedes Benz, a BMW, and an MPV (My Pinoy Van).
8. Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.
7. There are too many dining rooms in the White House – where will they put the picture of the Last Supper?
6. The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant wooden spoon and fork.
5. Secret Service staff won’t respond to "psst... psst" or 'hoy.hoyhoy!"
4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a Holy Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of the Santo Nino on the dashboard.
3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every room in the White House.
2. State dinners do not allow "Take Home".
AND THE NUMBER I REASON WHY THERE COULDN’T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S. PRESIDENT IS…
1. Air Force One does not allow overweight Balikbayan boxes!

I have a friend who loves to travel. She travels almost 2-3 times in a year.
And because she is not as knowledgeable on the internet as I am. I am now officially her travel/booking agent. I go through different websites in search for the cheapest fare and shortest travel time.
I just wish I could charge her for my service. But I don't. That's what friends are for!
If you live in that part of the world, I would appreciate if you can give me tips as to where to eat and where to shop and where to get discount coupons and all. Also, for local attractions, what is a must-see, don't miss out places/restaurants.
I've been all over the internet, and the more I read, the more I don't know which ones to prioritize. We only got a week for our vacation and I need to do/see as much as we could. Our trip is in October. So any tips and advise would be greatly appreciated.
I just hope and pray that we don't get any hurricane that week!
Strange fact!
We love ourselves even after making so many mistakes...
then how can we hate others for their small mistakes?
