Rooting for the Bobcats is not easy. I have lived in Charlotte for six years and this is the worst I have seen them play. This doesn't make much sense since they were supposed to be getting better. I'm hoping they're just slow starters. Diaw is supposed to be their big offensive weapon, but I think the only fitting word in that statement is 'big.' Have you seen the size of this guy? Did he even go to off-season conditioning? What does he eat for breakfast? Two donuts and a hamburger? And what is the deal with Gerald Wallace? He's still hustling, but he's losing his cool way to fast. Showing the other team your frustrated only gives the opponent more optimism. And I'm not a big fan of the point guard play at all. This is one of the most erratic backcourts I have ever seen. Not only that, but why are they doing one-on-one moves when no one is guarding them? They are the reason a lot of people don't watch the NBA. I wish I lived in Dallas or San Antonio so I could watch some quality point guard play. I guess I̢۪m stuck with the Bobcats. I̢۪m actually going to a game tonight. Once I set my home security alarm (Adt security pricing Columbus), I̢۪m heading out to a pickup a friend and going to the game. Wish us luck. We̢۪re going to need a lot of it.
Traveling to New York City was one of our family event in 2010. The main reason was to renew my Philippine passport so we could take a trip to the Philippines someday. I also considered that trip a vacation because that was my first time to be in the big apple. The Philippine Consulate is just a 10 minutes bus drive from my SIL where we all stayed for a week. This was my old passport and below is the new one.
My entry for TCP is late again. I watched all the sequel of Jaws from first part up to the last part of it. I wasn't aware it's a New Year's related movie until we have this theme this week in Tuesday Couch Potatoes. Among all the Jaws sequels, I think the first one was the best. This final sequel of Jaws received poor critic and it is considered by film critics to be one of the worst movies ever made.
Jaws: The Revenge is a 1987 thriller film and the third sequel to Steven Spielberg's Jaws. The film focuses on Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gary), and her convictions that a shark is after her family, especially when a great white follows her to The Bahamas. Jaws: The Revenge Cast: Michael Caine, Lorraine Gary, Lance Guest, Mario Van Peebles, Karen Young, Judith Barsi

The third sequel to the film "Jaws," begins with the recently widowed Ellen Brody still living in the resort town of Amity. When she learns that one of her sons (who had replaced his father as the town's sheriff) has also been attacked and killed by a great white shark, she decides to travel to the Bamahas where her other son, Michael, works as a marine biologist, she fears that the shark wants revenge for what her husband did to it in the first two films, and wants Michael to quit his job and stay away from the water before its too late. Her worst fears are confirmed when, three days later, guess who comes to the shore.

I always say no more shopping for now because I need to save money and blah blah but whenever I see great deals online I can't help it. The other day I shopped online using the gift certificate from Swagbucks. Then, yesterday I received an email about sales, discount and free shipping in this one store that have great stuffs. So, I head over to that certain online store and shop again. This morning I shopped for intimate stuff at VS. And now, I am at JimmyJazz.com website drooling in their urban clothes from different designer name brand. I saw a nice winter jacket for only $39.99. Most of their items are really pretty and the prices looks incredibly low because they offer up to 75% off. You should check it out!

This Christmas was one of the best and memorable Christmas ever. Read more...
One thing I am not really good at is to cook food. I totally suck at that area but I love to eat. Well, who doesn't love eating it's the only hobby that doesn't need any skills and mastery. Anyhow, Joe and I wanted to give Jake a birthday party last year but we had terrible time finding for catering services in our area. I don't want to invite friends and served them the food I cook. Joe look everywhere but to no avail he didn't find any decent food catering. There is used to be one up in Squirrel Hills but it was closed already. We decided to just give Jake next year a nice birthday party as we already found a good place to order foods. However, contact catering Richmond, Virginia if you are looking for delicious food and great cuisine to be serve to your guest. We all know that food always is the center of every party, gathering, special event and alike. So, don't waste time cooking for food, just call DeFazio's Catering Services instead and they will take care of everything.

Me and my roommate love to get together and whip up some sweets in the kitchen. I do it more as a control thing because that way I can make myself not eat all of the stuff at once and spread it out over a couple of days because I put all that hard work into baking and I want to get more out of it.
Well we've been making a couple of different holiday treats and we're always on the lookout for something different to make. We're both pretty adventurous when it comes to food, so I was online looking up something really different for us to try. While I was doing that I came across a website with information on internet packages and after we looked at it some we decided to change over our apartment's internet to that.
Well, we finally found a recipe that we thought sounded deifferent but good enough, so we chose to make this Armenian Christmas cookie recipe. I had never had any of them before but they sounded pretty good and they were.
Last year we drove over 9 hours from Pittsburgh to Chicago to spent Thanksgiving and visit Chicago as well. Chicago is known for being windy that is why it's called Windy City. We packed winter coats and clothes for the kids and us. My SIL gave us a tour at Chicago University. Husband, Jake and I had a walk also around their neighborhood despite of the cold weather. Although, it was just a week vacation and we only visited few places and land marks in Chicago it was the best vacation ever.
I was browsing at the photos in my Picasa Album when i saw this picture. So, i thought of sharing this walk and updating my blog as well. Jake was still 21 months old in this photo. He was fascinated with dogs back then so when we passed by a college student getting ready to go home and had her little dog with her. Jake wanted to pat the dog but it was too late coz the girl was already in her car. Silly buckaroo!

I went to bed late last night (4:00 am) because I was watching Christmas movies at Hallmark Channel. I went offline at midnight. I just can't go to bed without finishing the two movies that i watched which is the The Santa Incident. It is a Hallmark Original Movie that fantasizes about what would happen if Santa Claus was targeted by Homeland Security. I know it just a fantasy but I was hooked and got curious when Homeland Security shoots down sleigh as the movie started. Santa fell from the sleigh and rescued by a couple of local kids. The Homeland Security Agents are determined to capture Santa and the Elf as they the threat to the country and to make Kris Kringle pay for their humiliation in the botched mission. Santa spends his time doing work in trade around town, works his magic and keeps a twinkle in his eye while waiting for elfs who are tracking for one of Santa jingle bells jangled as Santa's only way to get back to the North Pole.
I enjoyed all the magic happening in that show that is why I stayed very late just to finished it. I enjoyed watching the movie. The movie has also some drama involved about a little boy who keep wondering why his Dad left them before Christmas.

First and foremost I want to say that I have nothing against the house we currently renting right now. The management is great and nice even if they forgot to send someone to fix the ceiling that got damaged from last year's snowstorm. I still think we are lucky to have live in this old structured house with good management compared to the previous management from that last apartment we lived in. This house have nice bathroom but it would be nicer if they put a good or big bathroom vanity in which the can buy from betterbathrooms.com and added second bathroom downstairs. This house have good bathroom nevertheless, I would love to have better bathroom. The toilet flush holder is broken and i want them to send someone to fix it. My husband and I are hesitant to spend money for some improvement because they might not allow it and besides by the time we move out in this house we will have the thing we break get fix. The reason also why I want a bigger and better bathroom vanity is so that my son will be comfortable when he brushes his teeth. I doubt if I can have it right now everything i want but at least I know now what I need when we have our own house. And I also know where to to buy better bathroom suites, furniture, bath and showers.
This was taken last summer. I wish it's summer all the time. Here I am again wishing for summer time when winter haven't kicks in yet. Enjoy your cold Monday everyone and hope you will have a wonderful Christmas.

The itsy bitsy spider Climbed up the water spout; Down came the rain And washed the spider out; Out came the sun And dried up all the rain; And the itsy bitsy spider Climbed up the spout again.
This spider was already climbing hard for his life going up the ceiling but I had to do something so it will come down and i can take a quick snap for my blog. I grabbed the air freshener and sprayed at it. For the sake of blogging had to be mean to this insect. Well, the spider survived and it disappeared after our photo shoot.

I was fascinated with this clock when we were in Central Park, NYC. Not just kids but adults too would stop by in front of this clock. The sculpted animals are holding different musical instruments and plays one of 26 nursery rhyme tunes from 8:00 am — 5:00 pm on the hour and half-hour. In addition, on the hour two monkeys on the top of the clock appear to strike a bell. The clock is one of the most whimsical features of the park. The musical repertoire of the clock plays Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Hey Diddle Diddle and much more. It also play appropriate selections played during the holidays with favorites such as Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, and Joy to the World ringing out from Thanksgiving until the second week of January.
The Delacorte Music Clock is located between the Wildlife Center and the Children's Zoo at 65th St. John B. Donated by George Delacorte, the clock was designed to replicate the musical clocks he had seen throughout Europe; the animal figures were created by Italian sculptor Andrea Spadini.

It's time to play Tuesday Couch Potatoes and this week edition featuring Santa Movies. There are tons of Santa movies we could share as Santa is the famous character on Christmas time.
Have you seen the movie "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"? Well good for you. I haven't seen this movie yet to be honest. It was a 2001 film based on the classic holiday song of the same name and aired December 2001. I'm gonna look for this movie and watch it by myself. I think if you are a little boy who truly believed in Santa Claus and saw it at your own eyes your mother smooching Santa, what would you do? You'd probably do naughty things too. So, in the movie, he decides to be “naughty” to keep the ho-ho-homewrecker away from his house and, therefore, his mom.And being naughty is the way to go since Santa don't like naughty kids and that would stop Santa to see your Mom. I have to watch this movie it looks really funny. I read the review at Wikipedia and video at Youtube.
Plot for I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (2001) Overhearing his parents Stephanie (Connie Sellecca) and David Carver (Corbin Bernsen) having a heated argument, young Justin Carver (Cole and Dylan Sprouse) retreats to his bedroom. A few minutes later, Justin peeks downstairs, only to see his mother Stephanie locked in a warm, romantic embrace with none other than Santa Claus (actually his father in a Santa suit). Fueled by his best friend's worries over his recently separated parents, Justin jumps to the conclusion that his mother is having an affair with Santa. So, Justin decides to behave as badly as possible in an attempt to prevent Santa coming to his house on Christmas Eve night lest he make off with the boy's mother. The resulting hi-jinks include Justin setting traps and throwing snowballs at a street Santa.
It was snowing since this morning. Jake wanted to go outside and play with the snow so I let them.
The sun was out for few minutes which at least gave a little sunlight. They both had great time. They don't really mind the freezing weather as long as they are outside and having fun. They have been stuck inside for a week now so they got bored and even cried when my sister left going to the airport for Vegas.
