In His Time

I did mention that once I resigned I would get myself a cellphone coz I thought I won’t stay put at one place for long like when I was in the office. However until today, I still have not got myself a cellphone, I would love to own the HTC Touch Diamond but as for now I don’t see the urgency to own one because most of the time I will be at home with the children.

Hey, I just realised that Valentine’s day is just a week after Chinese New Year. I totally forgotten about it as I was only thinking about the Chinese New Year celebration and my resignation date. hehe.

Thank God couponchief.com reminded me. Now I need to head to the website and try to dig the best Valentine’s gift for my children’s daddy.

I wonder whether he would be happy if I get the diet plan from Weight Watchers. His tummy is growing too!

Or chocolates from Fannie May. If he doesn’t want it, his children are always there to help. I will around too when he opens his gift. Family must share right? hehe.

I was tempted to ask my hubby for something special for my belated birthday. Most of you know that I suffered from acne when I was in my teens and sometimes I wish that I can have a smoother face skin. Okay… what I wanted to ask my hubby is to buy for me one beauty package. I want one where they will smoothen my face with their beauty products. Oh…the products must be made from natural ingredients like R.G. Skin Revitalizer.

Since this product is made of Gâc, I am sure it would go well with my skin. Gâc is a bright-red fruit that grows as large as a cantaloupe and abundantly on vines all over sub-tropical Asia, especially in Vietnam. I do not think I want products that are made from various chemicals as it can be dangerous and risky for my skin. You see, I have very sensitive skin and I cannot simply use any facial products.

I am not sure about you girls but I know I can only use certain products in the market. I would have to try out the beauty product first by buying a small bottle of it. Normally, it would be in the size of the sample bottle. Once I tried it and if it goes well with my skin, then only I would buy the regular bottle size of the product. However, since my hubby has bought me another special gift, I think I will skip this beauty package for next year.

Have you heard before that sperms can make your face smoother? Ya! I am serious. I had a lot of acne when I was younger and if I remembered correctly, a Malay lady told me that if I have a boyfriend or husband, I should take some sperm to apply on my face. That sounds so gross! I was still single and available at that time or… maybe not, I just started going out with my now hubby. No way I am going to go into “that” plus the idea of sperm going on my face is totally gross.

If you tell me to cut open a certain fruits and smear on my face the insides, I would do that anytime. Fruits like Gâc. No, no, it is not the Gag, vomit fruit. Gâc is a bright-red fruit that grows as large as a cantaloupe on vines all over sub-tropical Asia, especially in Vietnam. However, the fruit is not to be smear directly on your face, eaten or to drink the juice. The people of Vietnam use the red oily pulp to cook with rice.

The fruit is rich in lycopene, beta-carotene and other potent antioxidants which help support strong cellular rejuvenation throughout the body. That is where R.G. Skin Revitalizer dietary supplement were discovered. A daily skin nourishment exceptionally rich in antioxidants to support your body against damaging free radicals and to help provide nutrient support for strong cellular rejuvenation.

I wonder whether my children will follow after my footstep to be very active in sports especially Softball/Baseball. I did not follow my dad’s footstep. He plays Gasing (Tops). That is a man’s game. But I inherited his strong arms. My sister inherited his strong arms too. She was the state player for Squash. My brother is not active in sports at all!

Belle is quite the ladylike type, I doubt she would want to hit the ball and run under the hot sun but I am sure my lil Clarissa would. I can see myself in her! I am imagining if we were living in US, we would be sitting in the living room, going through the Yankees Spring Training Schedule to pick a date for our mother and daughter outing; watching Baseball game.

I had a dog once. I love that dog very much. He would be there to accompany me when I cycle to the bus stop at my village every morning when I go to school. And he would be there waiting for me when I stepped down from the school bus. The dog which I named Junior would then follow me as I cycled home. Junior was very loyal. He would be jumping around as I feed him the leftovers of my lunch or dinner.

When my father brought him back from the paddy field, he looked so miserable so much so that I took pity upon him and made him my pet. Somebody must have abandoned him on the paddy field when my father found him. Thus began a memorable relationship between Junior and myself.

My father wanted to neuter him but I did not agree to it. Junior was very gentle and friendly to the people around him. I do not see any reason for him to be neutered. Furthermore it was quite costly at that time to neuter a dog. Maybe if there is a pet advisor to tell us the benefits of neutering a dog, we would have decided differently. Now it is easy to find consultation for matters relating to your pet. There is no need to go to the vet (unless it is for treatment purposes) if you just want to ask questions about your pet. You can check out Televets.com and get the answers to your questions about your pet.

My daughters have started playing with dolls. Girls would be girls. The two of them would be making up stories and pretend that they are somebody else. Most of the time they would take up stories from the Disney fairy tale movies like Mermaidia, Pegasus, Snow White, The Beauty and the Beast and many others. Their favorite character names are Leah and Leishia.

It is fun to see them dressing up the dolls and talking to each other. As time passed by, they have not only the cute teddy bears and other animal dolls but now they are playing with Barbie dolls too. It is really interesting to hear their stories. It can be funny at times. They even know how to dress up the dolls. The “baby” character would be wrapped in handkerchief while the “daddy” and “mommy” would wear nice clothing and dress.

Pretty soon they would want to make all things looks nice. Then I might consider getting for them the bling. BLINGS are tiny, shiny crystals that come in beautifully arranged patterns ready to peel off and stick on. They can use it to beautify their schoolbags and other toys. I guess when they are older they would use the bling on their belts and cell phones. Hahaha…. maybe their mommy would want to use the bling on her new laptop. There is a promotion going on for the bling. You might get 1 Hannah Montana concert ticket if your order is the 100th purchase order. Yes, every 100th purchase will receive the Hannah Montana concert ticket. So bling and glitter your life.

I am not blessed with smooth porcelain skin. My mom did not tell me how to take care of my skin when my hormones decided to surprise me with lots of acne because she does not have any. When I asked her, she will say, “Last time I don’t have so much pimple like you.” That’s all.

I wish I know the causes of acne at that time so that I can prevent my face from having acne scar. Now nothing much can be done. Nevertheless, as a knowledgeable mommy, I will make sure my children does not have acne scar like their Mommy.

It seems that my acne has returned ever since I gave birth to Barnabas. I am 100% sure; it has to do with the hormone change! I am thinking of getting the Proactiv solution. Since it has money back guarantee, I have nothing to loose.

My children would have it easy when they are in college or university in years to come. They can hire professional to write their project papers, theses and even Term Papers. I wonder whether they can learn by doing this. Well, nowadays if you have money everything comes easy.

I don’t think I would allow my children to hire people to write their essays. Anyway I picked up some good tips from the website. Hope this will be useful for my children next time.

How to write excellent term papers…

• First pick a topic that interests you. This will help you to write better.
• Research thoroughly in the library, periodicals, textbooks and the Internet. Term papers should pack in a body of information
• Plan a skeletal outline by breaking the topic into sub-segments that you can approach methodically.
• Add flesh to the outline, by filling in the details as you write it out. Keep the paper, clear, compact and to the point.
• Don’t procrastinate. Never, ‘Put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” Chalk out a schedule of daily number of pages and stick to it!

I love to go shopping. Even my husband notices that. There was once when I was not feeling well, having flu and slight headache. When I reached home from work that day, hubby asked me whether I want to go shopping. I was quite surprised because he seldom asks me to go out shopping. I asked him why the sudden change. He told me that if we go shopping, I would be feeling much better. As much as I want to deny it, I have to agree with him. We went shopping that day and I went back home feeling much better, just as my hubby had said.

Now that Thanksgiving and Christmas is around the corner, I would be going shopping more often. Well, you may say that it is more than a month before Christmas but I can assure you that it would arrive sooner than expected. I love to shop but I hate to queue up to pay for the merchandise. My husband on the other hand would prefer to shop online. He told me about black-friday.net where I can buy merchandise from various stores during the Black Friday promotions. Most of the stores would kick off the Christmas season sales on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. The good thing about this website is that you can be notified via email when new ads are posted by various stores. You get to buy the things you want without the hassle to queue up. I think I will get the Bratz Hair Magic Doll for my two daughters. I’m sure they would love it very much.

Barracuda Networks, Inc. is the worldwide leader in email and Web security appliances. They have more than 50,000 companies, including Coca-Cola, FedEx, Harvard University, IBM, L’Oreal, NASA, and Europcar, are protecting their networks with Barracuda Networks solutions.

Now they are even more “powerful” with the recent acquisition of NetContinuum, the leading provider of Web Application Firewalls. It is because with the addition of NetContinuum’s award-winning products to Barracuda Networks’ product portfolio puts the company in a strong position to expand customer adoption of Application Delivery Controllers (ADC).

My dad plays golf because he worked in a golf course since the day I was born. I still remember him teaching me how to swing the golf club. Many times he told me to swing gently. Don’t over swing it. I thought must swing with all my might to get the golf ball fly. But he did not explain the reason behind it.

According Physical Therapist, Jim Clark, there are ways to avoid over-swinging. One of it is controlling how the joints are allowed to move. With the author’s extensive knowledge about the brain, joints, and muscles, he developed The Perfect Golf Swing which allows one to know exactly how his body should move to strike a golf ball with consistent power and accuracy.

You might be the next Tiger Woods if you really practice on your golf swing with the tips provided by Jim Clark.

Christmas is coming real soon and we should start planning about our Christmas now. I realized that after a more than 10 years becoming a Christian and celebrating Christmas, I tend to spend more when I do last minute shopping for Christmas gift.

This is year there are many new believers that I met and I was thinking that Photo Calendar would be the most practical gift. I think I would print my children’s photo on it.

If you are living in UK, you can get the same too from VistaPrint.com and be sure to use below coupon codes for free gift.

I have been giving free editing service to a few mommy bloggers and also offered to do proofreading for a few MBA project papers but I am not as good and professional like the Editing Service offered by Masterpapers.com. Their writers and editors are professional who are able to see mistakes and weaknesses in essays that non- professionals would simply not notice and turn your assignments to a masterpiece of writing. If you want good grades but are not confident with your writing, you know who to look for. Not me but Masterpapers.com.

Yesterday, we (mommy bloggers) were having MSN conference as usual and were chatting about having beautiful skin. I told them that fair skin is not good as you will be prone to getting skin cancer. Then the topics went to having a healthy skin instead of fair skin which is much better. Some of them recommend bird nest which can be very expensive if you want the original ones and some said to take Collagen pills. I found another way to have healthy and beautiful skin.

There is a special fruit called Gâc which can be found abundantly on vines all over sub-tropical Asia, especially in Vietnam. Gâc is a bright-red fruit that grows as large as a cantaloupe. However, the fruit is not to be eaten or to drink the juice. The people of Vietnam use the red oily pulp to cook with rice. No most Vietnamese are very beautiful, especially their skin.

After much research, a newly discovered dietary supplement called R.G. Skin Revitalizer is out in the market which could help improve our skin health. Science has demonstrated that lycopene, beta-carotene and other potent antioxidants found in Gâc fruit oil help support strong cellular rejuvenation throughout the body. When taken as part of one’s daily diet, essentially provides skin daily nourishment that works from the inside out.

I love to chat with the other mother bloggers. We have lots to things to share with each other. Well, what does mother bloggers chat about, you may ask. Hahaha…we chat not only about our children but lots of other stuffs. It is so good to be able to chat online with other mothers. Motherhood is not easy and that is where I thank God that I can chat online with other mother bloggers. Many times we share our problems in raising a family and we find comfort in knowing that others had gone through similar difficulties in their own lives and have overcome it.

Most of the mother bloggers use MSN Messenger to chat. This is like our conference room. It is easy to use and we can even have a webcam chat if we have the webcam and microphone installed. Talking about chatting online, there is this LiveHuman program available on the market. It is basically for websites that wants to offer user-friendly service to their customers. LiveHuman programs support chat where the website owner can chat with the visitors to the website. There can even be a live chat with the web visitors instantly. Visitors can ask questions or request for more information about the products instantaneously. It is a great way to promote your products and ensure customers loyalty.

Even though it is more for the websites to promote certain products or services, I think it can also be extended to bloggers. It is a good way to interact with visitors and we bloggers do want to interact with our visitors too. Oh ya…before I forget, we mother bloggers do chat about our sex lives. Ya, ya, ya, I know that is the main question you are wondering in your head just now. I am just saving you the embarrassment to ask the question. Now you know, so you must thank me. But please, do not simply see a female blogger online and ask about her sex life. You will be “executed” from her chat contacts.

Do you still remember your schooling days when the teacher gives us assignment to look for famous people biographies? For instance, the teacher will tell us to look for famous inventor besides Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. I will go scratching my head and head for the library and spend hours there looking for other famous inventor biographies.

My Children, if the teacher asks you for the same assignment, please go over to S9.com. S9.com has the compilation of more than 33,000 notable men and women who have shaped our world from ancient times to the present day. It was established it 1997 and by the time you read this post, I am sure there will be more that 33,000 biographies. The dictionary can be searched by birth and death dates, positions held, professions, literary and artistic works, achievements, and other keywords.

Maybe one day, you can add your daddy’s biographies as one of the missionaries or preacher because S9.com allows it and encourage us to contribute to their project. You can edit biographies too if you find that the information about certain people is not complete.

Have fun learning.

With my plan to resign to be there for my children all time and to guide them in their education, hubby is thinking to expand his business so that we can have more income. But as always, money is the hindrance. We can’t apply for any secured loan because it requires us to have asset for it to fall back on which we do not have. We are currently living in hubby’s family’s house.

I came to know about EZUnsecured.com who is offering Unsecured Business Loans to entrepreneurs with No Collateral, meaning no assets needed. They are very fast with their process too. In less than 3 weeks, we can see the cash in our bank account. I wonder whether they are offering the same to Malaysians.

In the past few weeks I have been hearing of my brother-in-laws buying houses. One of them is purchasing a bigger house than his present house. As his three children are growing older, his present 3 bedroom house is not sufficient for all of them. His option would either to buy a bigger house or renovate the present house. Since the present house is a terrace house, it is difficult to renovate the house as space does not permit it. So, the only option for him is to buy a bigger house.

There is a minor problem that he is facing right now. The existing house is still under the bank’s loan. Furthermore, he has yet to clear off his car Loans. This makes it a bit difficult for him to apply for another mortgage loan that would be able to cover the whole purchase price of the new house. He said that he would have to refinance the existing loan and asks for help from the other brothers. I do hope that the other brothers would be able to help him out.

During lunch my mom told me a story about one of her aunts. She married a Muslim man and never came back to visit her mother (my mom’s grandmother) since the day she got married. One fine day my mom received a call from her asking for a personal loan, telling my mom that she got a sick son that needs to be hospitalised and she need a lot of cash for it.

We are not rich either so my mom told her that since she is married to a Malay man, she does not need any loans because they have special privileges from the government being a Muslim. My mom told her that even our own secured loan that we took to renovate our house is not paid up yet.

Later my mom found out that she is living in a bungalow bought by her eldest son. I wonder why she wants to borrow from us. Maybe she thought we are rich just because we renovated our old wooden house to a brick house. Some people ah, cannot see we got a lil bit extra money, sure want to borrow one.

I may have a lot of acne scar but I am not going to let the same happen to my children. Once they reach their teenage years and pimples start popping, I will buy the proactiv solution for them. Proactiv® Solution helps the skin heal the blemishes you have now and helps stop new ones from forming in three quick, easy steps. Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner and Repairing Lotion. That’s it, the basic.

They are so confident that the Proactiv® Solution really work that they are giving 60 days money back guarantee. After 60 days, it you’re not totally satisfied with the results, you can return the bottles, even if they’re empty, and you will receive a full refund of the purchase price (less shipping and handling).

Will I freak out if one day one of my girls comes home with Butterfly Tattoos ? Well, I think I won’t as long as the tattoo is not big and it has nothing connected to evil. If I was given a chance and if I am brave enough, I would like to have a small tattoo too. To those who are not as chicken as me, you can download tattoos design from BullEyesTattoos.com and get it done at your own tattoo shop or even at home if you have all the tools!

Thank God it is holiday now and my office is closed till Thursday. If not, I will badly need my office PC at home because all my 3 children are sick and I can’t go to office. I understand that RemotePC offers secure remote access to windows PCs from anywhere via internet. With RemotePC, I can now access my office PC from anywhere in the world as long as there is internet access at that location.

This is how it works, from my computer, I can view the desktop of the RemotePC enabled computer (my office PC) and using my computer’s keyboard and mouse launch applications, read emails and edit documents as though I am directly working on that remote computer (my office PC). Quite simple ya. I may try their 30 days free trial.

The world is watching the greatest game in the world. It is called rugby. Well, that is what the organizer claims though not everybody will want to acknowledge it. I would think that soccer would be in a better position to stake that claim. Soccer is played in almost every country in this world. The young and the old and even the ladies play soccer. My husband play soccer and I am sure my son Barnabas too will play soccer when he grows up. As for my girls, maybe I will teach them how to play softball. To me softball is the greatest game on earth…. (hmm hmm coz I played the game in school).

The next strong contender might be the game of backgammon. Why do I say that? Simply because this game can be played not only with the actual board but you can also play backgammon online. It has become so popular that the online game is made available in different languages. Backgammon is now available in twelve different languages including Chinese. Well, if you can capture the China market, you are really going big. I am sure the backgammon players are excited about this new development. Here is the press release by Gammonish.com.

One after another fall sick. It’s like a vicious cycle. It started with the youngest (the weakest) then my second girl then the eldest. When the youngest is about to get better, the virus hopped over to him and the cycle starts all over again. I hope and pray that their condition will not get any worst till the extend that they need to be hospitalized.

Oh ya! I did not buy any heath insurance for them. I think I should since the air that we breathe is no longer fresh air, the water that we drink is contaminated, the food that we eat is also full of preservatives and the veggie is not pesticides free unless we get the organic veggie.

When it comes to buying insurance, I just trust my insurance agent to recommend me with the best coverage and lowest price available. I did not do any comparison from other insurance company. In you are living in US, you can get to compare from all major insurance companies through USA-HealthInsurance.com. This site provides free service that provides the guaranteed lowest prices available from all major insurance companies so you can shop, compare, and buy health insurance online. A map is provided in the website for you to pick which state you are living in to get the best insurance quote. Let’s say you are looking for the most affordable health insurance in Tennessee, just click on Tennessee. From there you can request for quotes online, call them or email them.

Do you notice that when you grow older you feel out of place when you sign-in to certain online chat? I realized that I no longer use certain chat programs like ICQ or MiRC or Friendsters. Most of the chatters in these chat programs are youngsters or teenagers. I find it difficult to understand their thoughts and chat lingo. It is so difficult to connect with them. Haizzz….generation gap.

I told my husband about it. He agreed with me. He said,”We are already adults. We don’t chat like teenagers. We are not concerned much about finding lots of friends anymore. We are direct in the things that we want…man seeking woman, man looking for life partner, seeking fun time together, seeking group fun and etc.” I kind of agree with him.

Adults are more direct and does not go around beating the bush. If we want sex, we search for those who are like-minded. (Hehehehe..don’t get me wrong here,…I never search for other adults to have sex… I got my husband, enough already). Now there is also Chat Line service where you can find people to chat with on your phone. It is an easy way to meet people in your local area or in cities across the U.S. When you feel bored and want to talk to somebody, use Chat Line. You might find the one you are looking for. Then you can tell people, “When I hear his voice, I fall in love with him. This is indeed Love At First Hearing.”

I received an SMS from a lady friend saying, “Hi, do you know no one can prevent cancer and recovery is very expensive. Family always in dilemma when no money for recovery of loved one. Now got new coverage just for cancer alone. 18-35yrs for $100K coverage, male only RM156 per year ladies slightly more. Sad that I can’t buy.” I was quite surprise to receive this from her. At first I was trying to figure out what exactly she is trying to convey. As far as I know she is not an insurance agent. She is a nurse in one of the private hospital. Then it occurred to me that she might have been informed about the insurance coverage for cancer alone and would like to let me know about it. As she is above 35 years old, she is not entitled to buy the insurance policy.

There are many insurance policies out there. New insurance coverage is being introduced every few months. Many times I find it a bit confusing when comparing the various insurance policies available. It is indeed a daunting task to select a good health insurance policy. This is where you need the expertise of Peoples Health Insurance. With their help you can find a good quality health plan for your family and yourself. If you are staying in Florida or plans to stay there, it is good to buy one Florida dental plan and a few other types of insurance. Maybe you can buy the insurance coverage for cancer alone as mentioned by my friend.

A lot of women develop Varicose Veins during pregnancy. However, that’s not the case with me. I develop varicose vein when I was working as a cashier. The prolong standing caused it to appear at the back of my thigh. If you get it due to pregnancy, normally it improves within three or four months after giving birth. Like mine, it is still there since it first appeared like 10 years ago!

With the advance technology, varicose veins can now disappear over a period of a month through endovenous laser treatment (ELT). This can be done at the Southwest Vein & Laser Institute. With the assistance of ultrasound, a small catheter is inserted into the greater saphenous vein (a large vein in the inner thigh); a thin laser fiber is threaded into the catheter and laser energy is delivered through the fiber into the vein, causing the vein to close. The entire procedure can be performed in less than an hour under local anaesthesia.

Most of us bloggers who make money through blogging are familiar with writing reviews for websites, contextual links, text link advertising and directory submission. Do you know the purpose of doing all that besides getting paid for it? From the advertiser’s perspective, we are helping them to boost their link popularity so that their websites can have higher Page Rank and also higher placement in major search engines like Google and Yahoo.

Now I know why some bloggers spend money on link building in which I have been totally ignorant about by just contacting other bloggers to link me. Maybe I do not work hard enough on this blog link building that cost my Page Rank to drop from 4 to 3. Maybe it is time for me to consult professional SEO website like Submitawebsite.com who offers services and campaigns to accomplish these fundamental Link Building strategies. Well, we have to be willing to spend some money to make more money right?

I mentioned in my previous post that Belle calls the sports shoe, Boots.

Belle, look, this is a Boot.

Hubby has been telling me that he wanted a boot for quite sometime but I don’t see the need for him to have one. Boots are worn mostly for safety purposes. If you are working in a pastor in church or an owner of an internet cafe, what can possibly hurt your feet? The church members accidentally step on your foot when you pray for them? The mouse drop on your foot? or Maybe when a customer lost a game and angrily push the CPU from the table and it drops on your foot?

It is a different scenario if you are working in my factory. There are cartons of lubricants, pails drums, and other heavy equipment that might hurt your foot if it falls. I purchase safety boots for the worker every year. I wanted to look for better supplier with higher quality boots so that a boot can last longer than a year.

I came across CopShoes.com. They do sell safety boots but mostly for police and military boots. If you are in the force, you can get your Rocky Boots and Bates Boots from this site. You can be assured of their quality and competitive price.
