I Got Buzzed Again

So nice of my husband for allowing me to drive in the freeway again today. It was my second time driving in a 60 mph road going to Lowe's. At first it was smooth, then from the service road joining the freeway the car in front of me was kind of slow and I was doing 60 still. I was so scared that I could hit him and so my goal was to move to the left lane... I was already panicking a little bit so all I want to do is get to the other lane and I saw the car so close to me and when I get panic, I lose my mind for a while so I steered to the left then the car buzzed me...Weeew it was scary for I almost kissed the side of the other car. This is the second time it happened to me.

Nganu man jud ko oi kakita ko naay car coming lisoon man jud naku ang manibela? Ambrot sa langaw. Then from Lowe's we went to Walmart right away which I don't know how many miles far but for me it was on the other side of the globe. I was relaxed while driving on the way there as I know I wasn't in the freeway anymore.

Generally, I did all the driving today with a baby in the backseat. I don't shiver that much anymore too and for me it's a lot of progress for myself but of course there are still so many things to learn while on the road. I am positive though that I will get better in the long run and hopefully apply for a driver's license before Summer starts.

Orlando Vacation Homes

How cool it would be if me and my family will be able to escape the cold weather of Texas for a while. Going for a vacation in Orlando maybe would be so freaking cool to unwind and relax in one of the beaches over there as well as spending time with my family at Disneyland. I could perhaps jump off the bridge if that is going to happen. Sigh. Anyways, if you are bound to visit Orlando soon, please check out Orlando vacation homes. Rentals including condos, cottages and large, luxury villas presented here are privately owned and are rented out directly by their owner or the owner's agent. Choose 2-4 bed condos or rent a whole house with swimming pool at the back.

Baby Blog Now A Domain

I decided to have my baby's blog formerly www.jadynb.blogspot.com be moved into a domain so I can make use of it. Its new address is Sugarplum.bebe.com, if you have her blog in your list, please change her address so it will be easy for you to visit her place when you feel like it.

I do have a new blog created also which will be shown to the public as soon as it is converted to subdomain of my baby's blog. After that, these two blogs should be ready for money making purposes. I don't like the idea of baby's blog being mixed with paid posts but it left me no choice. I have to strive hard in order to come up with the amount of money I need to send to the Philippines every month. So can you blame me if I do it?

I Can't Quit Now

I was in my bravest self this afternoon. I couldn't believe we made it safe home (although I almost hit the car behind me in the other lane), all in all it was a fun and nice try to be driving in a freeway of 60 mph. The first time ever I drove to a very fast speed and absolutely not my last drive there either. Now that I've conquered my fear nothing can stop me from practicing more of my driving and hopefully get my driver's license.

As a matter of fact, I didn't know my husband had a plan of bringing me to the freeway going to Kohls and return something. I couldn't say no yet nervous. Wow that was amazing! After our business inside the store I practiced backing up in the parking lot a bit then I drove back home anxiously. That is when I was buzzed by other driver.

I got buzzed when I was about to change lanes, the reason is that I wasn't watching of the cars in my side before changing lane and that I was thankful my husband was so fast in maneuvering the steering wheel a little bit back to my lane! It scared the hell out of me, you know that?

Their Style Of Fashion

I snap this picture at Walmart last weekend when we went for grocery shopping while waiting for my husband at the counter finishing to load the stuff in the cart.

Niggah's hip hop style of clothing is just ridiculously foolish. Despite of their dark colored skin they love wearing very strong colors of clothes that makes it really weird making themselves look like an idiot. To top of it all, they wear their pants real low that they keep holding them when walking... just ridiculous... giving themselves a big job to do while at the same time showing off their kind of fashion.

I just don't get their style, ya know? This reminds me of one of the contestants of American Idol season 9, a black man auditioned in AI who was a little older for the show and sung his own composition "pants on the ground! pants on the ground! you're looking like a fool with your pants on the ground!"

I Choose Over Laptop

If I were to choose between a laptop and a desktop, I would surely choose having a laptop to use all my life because it is so handy, portable and most of all it can travel with me anytime I am out of the house. I can just bring it anywhere in the house too if I decide to move to another room without bringing the whole desk with me. Also my laptop is wifi capable so I don't have to worry getting disconnected from the internet each time I move it from one room to another. Ah the convenience of having a laptop. My computer is a little over two years old and has been dropped 3 times by my baby and it is still providing its service to me. What an awesome laptop I have, I shall say!

What I Need Soon

I feel somehow slightly envious of some people who work. Yes, I do have paid blogging as my sideline while staying at home but at times I couldn't help thinking that it is not enough. What I need to get soon is an employment not just to make money but also to keep myself occupied during the day. I don't need to work full time, a part time job will do when my husband is off work. I guess I just have to open this thing up to him sometime and see if he allows me to get a part time job this time. Several times I attempted telling him that I want to work but there is only one thing he kept telling me that he did not marry me to make money! Argggsss! That is obviously relays that he never want me to work.

Older Neighborhood

.... above photo is clear shot of Rockmoor Drive where our house can be located.. we were going home from a long walk when I took this one today

According to my husband he cannot live in a newer neighborhood as it has no yard (so very little privacy from people passing by peeking into his windows), narrow streets, short driveway and houses aren't impressive. They are just like boxes with cover on top from afar forming a house. B-O-R-I-N-G as he say. For him, living in a new neighborhood are best suited for people who do not do any yard work, someone who will just go to work, go home, stay inside the house, sleep and go to work again.

Certainly he wouldn't change a thing where we are at right now. It is such a privilege to live in an older, nicer, quieter and peaceful(less crimes, no scumbags around) neighborhood like Edgecliff Village.

We have just moved in this place three months ago and already we have learned to like the place, a lot! Friendly neighbors as well as wider streets that you wouldn't worry for your child to be in danger when you go out for a walk for it is just very quiet here. Just perfect for raising a family!

Since it was such a beautiful day at Wintertime here in our place, we took advantage of strolling around this new neighborhood we're in. Actually it has been a week we had plenty of sunshine but yesterday and today was perfect to not feel the chills at all although it was gusty yet enough to enjoy the fresh air and the pretty view this place can offer.

So here goes the pictures taken from my mobile phone yesterday and today just to prove how beautiful the weather here lately.

...the house on top of the hill I saw yesterday... the photo shows the back view of the house which for me looks neat and cool.
....my baby with her doll in a carriage just started our walk two houses down from our home..
... Edgecliff neighborhood, the road here is kind of elevated so she was going faster this time...
... thankfully I found a mini park just in this block we belong, I plan of going there when I need time to get away from the house for a short time..


.... one of the houses that I like at the back of our house..


....the sign says CLIFFISDE PARK and am lovin' it
...... also the little playground 4 blocks away located in a new neighborhood... to get there, we'll have to cross two busy streets!

Weird Proposal

As days pass by, I feel ashamed of myself for the thought of me turning four years of living here in America this coming March. Why? Because all those years wasted by not being able to drive. Yes, I did practice a couple times before but I wasn't motivated enough to learn to drive and be confident behind the wheels so here I am, still stuck in the house and I feel like crippled.

Last night, I had an open proposal to my husband. I asked him if he could allow me and the baby to spend half and half here and in the Philippines. What I mean is 6 months in the Philippines and 6 months here so I don't get too bored and homesick during times like these where I cannot go out simply because I can't drive.

He thought it was weird! He then added, "what you gonna cost me hundreds of dollars?" because he knew if I stay in the Philippines too long, he's gonna support us every month haha, smart guy. I replied, "no because I am going to look for a job over there, applying in the call center maybe".

Inspite of my encouragement, it doesn't seem to be convincing enough for him to allow us and just go with my deal. Instead he told me, there is no job in the Philippines for you! After that conversation, I came to realize whether to learn how to drive or rot in the corner of the house. It's up to me and to him when he gonna send me to the driving school.

roadside assistance

Isn't it great to drive safely all the time and wouldn't it be nice to know that there is always a roadside assistance 24/7 anywhere in the US so drivers can feel confident driving? I do believe we all need it especially driving at night with a family in tow so if there is something happens, you can just rely on to a great roadside assistance service that a company is offering you. If I were to drive I would love to have this kind of service so I don't have to worry when I have a flat tire along a busy road. Of course it is going to be another expense aside from insurance payment every month but I think it is worth the sweat of my husband.

Before And After

Photos below show the difference of our study room. My husband did a good job in transforming our study from dull to refreshingly cool room. He even carefully culk the cracks that run across the room in between the wall and the wood paneling .

....below is the old study room shot, as you can see it looks dull and very dark, the yellow carpet which is over ten years old that looks gross.
.......this photo is the current look of our study. hubby just finished working in this part of the house. he painted it meadow light and white ceiling. we used light blue curtain here to match our hall way which is also light blue. the carpet and wall definitely are a match too!

filters and more

Lately I hear my husband complaining about the taste of filtered water coming from our refrigerator. It's tasteless, he said. I too, noticed it but I just don't complain about it. I told him why not consider buying a filter online and look at different prices including HAVC filter so we don't keep drinking this water that we don't like? Water filtration is important so we don't consume all the minerals that is in the water, with that said, we really need to put a water filter in our kitchen faucet too because I often use water for my cooking unfiltered.

Update On My Braces

I had my visit to the orthodontist this morning, as usual Dr. Mik is so friendly and talked to me of my holidays. I thought it was so nice of him to do that. Anyways, back to my braces, he removed the two coils in the upper part and put brackets in two of the most crooked teeth to rotate them in the right position.

I am glad he did remove those two uncomfy and bulky coils for I got so tired of them keep getting my way especially when I want to laugh or smile so big. He replaced it with just a lighter wire and a lot smaller than the latter.

Right now, my teeth are starting to hurt but I managed to eat some of the hard and dry grits that I left from yesterday. That was gonna be the last solid food I could eat until my mouth gets better and overcome the soreness due to adjustment of the braces today.
