This Is My Life

Weekend @ The Beach

Wrozlie — Sun, 06 May 2012 19:34:17 +0000

We went to Orange Beach, AL last weekend to visit my niece and we had so much fun! It’s the first time the kids and I had been to a beach and we didn’t realize how pretty it was until we were there and staring at the beautiful, fine sand and clear blue water. The water was a little bit cold, but the weather was perfect. I wasn’t able to go and soak myself in the water because of the fact that I can barely dip my feet to the icy cold water. I was able to find some seashells for the kids, since they were collecting them.

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to bring all 6 kids, Dan had to work that weekend, and Kattie and Kelsie are still in TN with their mom. Maybe one of these days, we will be able to bring everybody to have more fun. Besides, the beach is not going anywhere.

I just want to share some photos and all I can say is, we had a blast.

Mwahhhhhh!

There were just few photos that I posted, we have over a hundred, but I know it would be too much to post it here. I just wanted to share with you our fun time at the beach. If you are planning on going to the beach this summer, Orange Beach is a highly recommended beach, it’s clean and it’s close to pretty much everything.

We will go back again this month, with the 2 girls. I know Dan is still not going since he doesn’t want to miss work, he loves making money and besides, he thinks he’s not a kid anymore.

That’s all Folks and have a great day.

Be Organized!

This is what I keep telling my husband when it comes to all his DVD collections. He keeps buying movies for the kids and I can find them everywhere. I got tired of putting them in order, so I told my husband that he needs to get a dvd cabinet where he can organized his movies alphabetically. We have dvd movies everywhere, and it’s sickening when I see some that are not even in their correct boxes. That is one of the most annoying moment in someone’s life if they were so anxious to watch a movie and all of a sudden, you found out that what you want was not in that box that you opened. Grrrr!

Best Gift For Her

Wrozlie — Wed, 02 May 2012 23:40:08 +0000

May is always a very special month to all the mothers to be, and mothers. We always look for something very unique to make sure that our moms will be so ecstatic to receive a very special gift for us. We want to see their facial expression when they opened their presents. This year is no different, I had bought my mom some pandora charms for this very special day, unfortunately, I won’t see her facial expression when she opens her present, because she lives far away from me. But I know my mom, she will be so happy whatever she gets from me. I believe and expect that she will keep it close to her heart,t hat’s how she appreciate things from me.

My Friends and I

Wrozlie — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:26:49 +0000

This is Ailyn and she’s been my friend since I was in High School. she is a cousin of my cousins on the other side of their parents, that’s why we met. We were very close way back in the Philippines. She’s my oldest son’s godmother. I came to the United States and she stayed in the Philippines. We kept in touch though, Whenever I go visit, I made sure that we get together. Several years ago, she came to the United States and we met again. Now, here’s the photo of us.

I want to introduce Lorna, she used to be my Manager when I first worked in this country. I am so blessed that she’s a Filipna and a Manager at the Department store where I applied and she hired me as a seasonal associate. I worked with her for a long time until I left the company. We kept in touch and we’re still friends. When we go visit my aunt in Illinois, I see her when she’s available. She is a great person and fun to be with.

Now, this is my BFF..What can I say about her? I am not going to say a lot, it’s between me and her. We live close to each other. We depend on each other during those times of needs. We share laughters and tears. Need I say more? Our kids are best friends too. I pray that we remain friends until our hair turns all gray.. (I have few more black left..)

This is my BFF Mariz, my daughter AJ’s godmother. She’s my very first friend in TN when we moved there. Mariz is one of the greatest person I have ever met. Down to earth, God fearing individual and so on and so forth. She is a US army and now stationed abroad. She deserves everything that she has right now. I have seen her accept whatever life God gave her and she accepted it with smile. I am so glad that you are my friend Mariz.

I have more pictures of my friends with me, but I can’t find them on my file. I guess, I will do another batch next time. Well, Folks, see you again next time with my other set of friends..

Great Tasting Cigars

Wrozlie — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:37:44 +0000

Dutch Masters is one of the most famous great tasting cigars in America. For those who love to smoke cigars, this is what you had been looking for. I know of some people who prefer cigars that those of cigarettes, although my husband loves his cigarettes after dinner. In some countries, they have a tradition that if you have a newly born baby and it happens to be a boy, it’s customary that you give away cigars at the hospital. I have seen it happened, only I wasn’t related to them, so I didn’t get any

Perfect for Mother’s Day

Sterling Silver Twisted Leopard Jasper Stretch Watch With Plain Face And Crystals

In few days is Mother’s Day. I had been thinking what to give my mother for this very special day. As you all know, she lives with my aunt in Chicago and I don’t see her very often. I wished that she can stay with me, but with her medical issues, she has to stay there. I thought of giving her some sterling silver jewelry which I know will be perfect. She is not a jewelry person, but if it’s from me, I don’t think she will mind. She’s been wanting a pair of watch, hmmm…

Keyboards And MIDI

Wrozlie — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:43:49 +0000

I remember when my husband bought his keyboard although he didn’t know how to play. I wasn’t home that time and when I came back, he had it in the living room. It looks so sharp and so new. He said that when he had seen my brother and his friends play in the band, it gave him an idea of getting his own musical instrument. He had all the instructions that he needed, he bought some books so he can learn. Although it was hard at first, he was able to learn few songs.

Keyboard Workstations

Keyboards and MIDI are very important when playing music, it gives melody and it makes the music sounds harmonious. Long time ago, even if someone only has a piano or guitar, they can make the music sounds wonderful. Now, each song has different musical instrument to make it sound even better. I know of some people who are really good at playing keyboards, unfortunately, I am not one of those who are lucky enough to have the talent. I am hoping that one of my kids will have the interest to play and it will be awesome to listen to either one of them play me a piece.

My Birthday Presents

Wrozlie — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 03:17:31 +0000

This year, I received the most gifts ever. For 40 years of my life, I have never received as much presents as I did this year. I just don’t. I don’t normally celebrate my birthday, although I did last year for my 40th, I only have few friends and they gave me presents too, but this year, I guess, because I had met a lot of friends last year, now that I had my birthday party with my son, I received a lot of blessings. Thanks to all who gave me wonderful and beautiful presents. I loved them all.

From my BFF Alena

Hiking Made Easy

Wrozlie — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 03:03:43 +0000

I am not a hiker, so I don’t know how hard it is to hike. I do a walk at home and it’s easy for me. Hiking though is different, and a lot of people love outdoor enough to hike on their free time. Due to my allergy to grass and everything, I need to stay indoor. Leki Poles are one of necessities when doing some hiking, trekking or what have you, it helps for stability and to take loads off your knees. Sometimes, no matter how stable you are, when you get tired, your knees can give in. No wonder when I watch TV about hiking, I see people holding some poles to balance themselves. I think it’s great to have one of these when hiking.

On Cooler Nights

Slate Mosaic Fire Pit with Copper Accents- Stainless Steel Bowl

Hubby and I love to stay outside when it’s warm enough to just talk about our lives, future plans about vacation, kids and remodeling our home. Lately the weather’s been warm, but for some reason, it would be cold all of a sudden. I wish that we have fire pits for those unexpected days that way, we can still enjoy outdoor. It’s great to spend time with my husband, even if it’s just outside our home, while the kids are inside either playing, or watching TV. Bonding with your partner doesn’t need to be expensive, it can be a simple chatting while holding hands out in that yard.
