Diagnosed just a few weeks ago, my 45 year old aunt could not believe that she has hypertension and was even given by her doctor maintenance medicine. She was hoping that it was not that bad and she could do with change in diet and exercise but the doctor said those will not suffice. She was left with no choice but to follow her doctors order it was for her own good anyway. But she has no time to go out and buy her medication so she asked me to visit tcds for atorvastatin purchase good for one month.

Fifty nine years ago an adorable and loving little girl was born. Flora Cuison Bajarias the 5th child of Patrocinio and Sinforosa Bajarias. To her siblings she is known as Payong (umbrella), why I cannot divulge it is a family secret. To us her five kids she is our mommy, a cool one that is. More than being a mother she was able to establish the kind of relationship with us that made us comfortable to open up everything and anything about our lives.

Now that I am also a mother myself I am able to appreciate my mom more. The more fitting for us her kids to celebrate her natal day. We love you mom and we miss you. Thank you for everything. Happy birthday!

It has been awhile since I last check my blogs' pagerank. Why? It just makes me feel down every time I find out they all went down instead of up. To be honest I really don't know what to do to make it go up. Before I was really conscious about pleasing whoever is in-charge of determining every sites' PR but recently I've grown tired of it. I decided to do whatever it is I want to do with my blog as long as I know it does not offend or hurt anyone. Especially in this particular blog, so far this is the most personal amongst all the blog I own. 

Talk about personal I have to make this Sunday update a little bit short. I have to do some online errand for my mom. She asked me to find rv insurance quote online. She really not into finding stuffs online. Ciao everyone, have a great Sunday!

I found these very nice cufflinks as I was searching for possible wedding present for my brother this coming June. It is a two-toned engraveable cufflink, which I find very elegant yet simple which I think suits my brother's personality. 


Glad to have found this as early as now because when I checked the price, it was a bit expensive. I guess I have to start saving if I decide to give this to him. Although it is a bit pricey I do not mind because I think it is worth it. I just wish he would like this.

Ever since my father moved back with us everything that needed fixing exist no more. He would usually tell us what to buy in order to fix something and all we have to do is find them for him and viola its all done. I should say having him around is such a blessing. But there are times that we find it hard to find what he wants. Just like the time when he needed thrust bearings. We have no idea where to buy, so much so we do not know what it looks like.I have to find it online in order to know what's it for. Nevertheless, having my father around is such a big help for me and my sister.

Yes my little sister is in Baguio with her boyfriend. They will be there for three days to attend the annual Philippine Association of Radiologic Technologists convention. I was suppose to be there as well but opted not to go because I am already on my 7th month of pregnancy and I don't think traveling from Manila to Baguio which is almost a 7 hour bus ride is too stressful for me. I wish my sister is having a grand time just like the one I had last year when I first visited the place. But so far I think she is not. I hope it gets better though, they still have a couple of days more left and its only their second day. 

So I am home alone for 3 to 4 days, days I will devote myself in finishing some tasks just like eyelash growth products reviews which I have to finish because its due in two hours. Dang!

We just received the Balik-Bayan Box my mom sent last August. In it are Nike t-shirts my brother bought for us to sell. Originally his purpose of selling them is to start a buy and sell business. He buys the stuffs, send them to us and we sell them here in the Philippines. But plans changed, I am now going to sell the shirts and the proceeds I will use to buy for my baby's crib. Talk about some pressure huh! If I won't be able to dispose all of them I won't be able to raise enough money for the crib.

He sent 15 shirts that I am suppose to sell for a thousand each. I am suppose to earn 15 grand and the crib is a little over 10 grand. I have sold 10 pieces already, thank God, now I have to exert more effort and hopefully will be able to sell the rest before the month ends. I know I am not the best buy and sell person you will ever meet but everytime I tell my friends about where the money is for they seemed to be convince buy one.

Thanks brother!

New Year 2010 before my brother left.
 It has been over a year since my little brother left for the US. For the first time in 29 years we have been separated this long and I must admit I miss him so much. There are only three siblings, although we grew up without our mom on our sides we have somehow draw strength from each other. I am the eldest, next is my lil brother then our youngest sister. Jan2x, my bro's nick name, and I are so alike. We get along well more than I get along with my sister. We both like sports, the same type of music, movies and a whole of other things. I was just chatting with him online and I can't help but miss him more. I know he will freak out ones he'd find out I wrote something like this in here, you know men. But at least he knows I miss him and I love him so much.

Upon learning that I am expecting one of the first people I told about it is of course my mom. She has been asking for a grandchild for quite a while now and I know she will be very,very happy. Now more than me my mom is also very proud and excited about the baby. She would want us to talk everyday and wants to see my tummy if it has grown bigger. I showed her my baby's latest ultrasound photo when we were enjoying our newly installed video and conference call services. Here is my baby's latest photo. 



He/she, we do not know the gender yet, is already 14 weeks.

I received a text message from my sister last night. She was asking for my help not for her but for my nephew. He needs my help with school matters. He is currently a senior high school student, good thesis writing is part of their subject. But the problem is he does not have a topic yet for a possible thesis study. Gave them some ideas and I hoped it helped him somehow. I admit I am one of those bad thesis writers. I would rather talk than write. I tend to get lost for words.

The following day it was nephew who called me and told me the good news. One of my ideas was approved by his teacher as his topic. Now all he has to worry is to find someone who can assist him in doing his study. Although their teacher will be there for them he still needs help especially in gathering data and other processes. So I told him to check for some online help like looking for an expert in custom dissertation which are readily available online. I wish him all the luck and hope he does well, way better than how I did with my own thesis paper.

The children in the photos above are my cousins. They are the sons of my uncle, my mom's brother who lives in Florida. More than a year ago their father passed away living them and my aunt behind. He passing away was very sudden were all shocked and saddened. For a while these kids did not live together in one house because my aunt cannot afford to rent a house big enough for the six of them to occupy. One kid lived with my mom and another one stayed in my other uncle. 

But just last week I learned a very beautiful news and that is finally they now have their own home. All my uncle's siblings helped out. Although they only have a motorhome at least they have their something they call their own. They needed some help from a motorhome repairs service since the house needed some fixing. I am so happy for them, now they can all live together.

A very distant relative of ours passed away a week ago. He was missing for almost two weeks, his family had been looking for him all over the city. He was 75 years old was suffering from hypertension. Some family friends reportedly saw him a couple of times outside the shopping malls but did not inform the family right away because they did not know that he was actually missing. Then they heard the sad news, he was found in a coastal town way, way outside of Davao City. He has a stabbed won and looked all beaten up. Who could do such a thing to a 75 year old helpless and very sickly old man. 

My sister and I are so saddened with what happened. We would have wanted to be there and show our sympathies but we had to leave for Cebu that time so all we can do was to send them our sympathy gift baskets, it was not much but it was in our way of saying we feel sorry for their lost.

It was fun. If I were asked to describe how my Cebu vacation went I would definitely say it was the best Cebu vacation compared to my previous trips there. Maybe because this time we were in control. In control of what we are going to do, where we want to go because this time we get to spend our own money during the whole trip. Unlike before that we have to depend on my mom since we don't work yet during that time.

w/ my cousins @ SM Cebu
Initially the vacation was only for 3 days, but since we were having a grand time we decided extended for one more day (I hope the extension won't cause me my job, I hope our manager would understand). It was our aunt's 72nd birthday on our supposed last day and our cousins told us to stay and celebrate with them. Our aunt is already very sick, she is very fragile, she has stage 4 gastric cancer. When she found out that we were coming she was so happy and I could really tell with the smile on her face and how tight she embraced me when I arrived. We could not let her down.

Me and my sissy are going to Cebu. Finally after almost four years we will see all our relatives. We are pretty excited ourselves. It will be a short trip though, we will leave on the June 3 but we have to return on the 7th because we cannot leave our respective jobs too long.

Since as I said it will be a very short trip I have to plan our activities while we're there so that we won't waste any moment. I am in-charge of our itinerary, have to plan it well so that we will be able to go to as many places as we can in the span of three days. We so many places we want to go and so many people we want to see. But of course we have to see to it that we will see our dear father. 

excited to see my nephew Ghian
Aside from the itinerary I also have find enough funds, we cannot just go there without pocket money, with that said I think I have to finish the seoquake review that is due in a couple of days. I cannot afford to leave with many pending jobs undone.I need the moolah you know.

As I was going through my old stuffs last night I found some old photos from way, way back. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories, some sad ones especially when I saw some photos of my late uncle who passed away last year. Most of the photos I found were not properly stored in an album and so most of them were not really in great condition. Moist have destroyed a few of them and it saddened me even more. 

I showed the photos to my sister and she told me to find a way  to somehow prevent the other photos from being destroyed. I told her it would be impossible to restore the ones that are already destroyed but I think I know of a way to preserve the ones that were still in good condition. It would be best if we have the photos scanned and stored, that way it would be easier to retrieve them. We can even put them in our social networking accounts and share them with our cousins and old friends. The problem is there were so many pictures to scan. It will be a bit expensive, but good thing my mom has Scan Cafe Coupon and she told us we can use it so that we can save in the scanning of the photos. I can't wait to upload all the scanned photos so that you all can see them.

Hi guys! How was your week? I'm doing great, by the way! As you know we are expecting a new baby, which i am both excited and anxious about, as to be expected i suppose. Although my husband and myself went to the obstetrician's clinic for my monthly check up last Tuesday, and she said that my cervix has dilated a centimeter already!! As you know from my previous posts, I'm only on my 36th week, so I've been really worried the baby might end up coming early. I was also very surprised by this news, as I haven't seen any mucus plug being passed through or any bloody discharge for that matter, which is supposed to happen when you start to dilate. The doctor reassured me though that I would be fine and the baby probably won't even think about coming until the 37th week at least.

Oh well, I'm hoping for the best and getting lots of rest, to hopefully ensure my cervix doesn't contract and dilate even more! Babies, ay?!

I've been dedicating myself to internet blogging a lot lately and research into villas in Portugal. I'm doing this for a client, who wants a grand family vacation in July in a nice, fancy villa, but he doesn't have the time to look for one, so he has enlisted me to help.

When enlisted with this task, I decided to read up on the history of Portugal and the country in general, as like my client I have never been to Portugal before and wanted to know more about it before I started my search. After a hour or so, I felt I had a good basic knowledge of where it would be best for my client to spend his holidays. I also found some really good mortgages in Portugal, that i will suggest to my client, in case he falls in love with the country and wants to go back more often. I have gathered a lot of photos of Portugal for my client to browse through as well, which will hopefully get him in the mood for buying a property whilst out there!
She wants this trip to be a family trip. She wants to bring me and my two siblings along. I would even want to bring my grand mother along, if her health conditions will allow her. If this will push through this will be our fist family trip ever. I can already imagine how much fun we will all have. I am very excited. My only wish is that me and my sister will be able to take care of all the documents needed so we can travel to Cyprus. My mom will be disappointed if she will go and we would not be able to go with her.

Me, my Mom and brother (photo taken before he left) 


 Today is my little brother's 29th birthday. It is only his second birthday celebration that he is away from us (me and my younger sister). For 27 years we celebrated it with him, but now since he is already in Florida all I can do is just greet him and make him this short post here. 

Our simple gift (video card for his new PC)
We miss having him around but we are happy for him. Now he is finally able to start doing something so that he can reach all his dreams in life. He has a good job, he is earning his own money and he is saving them. We love you Johnny Boy.

Like me,  my younger brother has also started playing StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty in fact he bought new personal computer so just he can play because my mother's old PC was too old it can't play the graphics of the game. But despite how upgraded and recent my brother's new PC is he still needs to buy an additional video card for better visuals. Since his birthday is approaching me and my sister decided to give him the video card as present. So he got us looking for an ATI video card and we are currently hunting for one. I've been looking for it online and in websites where I can find the most unique promotional products, who knows I might find one there for a cheaper cost,I might get lucky.

A few days ago we were told that Lola (Granny) is already cancer free. She was diagnosed with throat cancer later part of 2010. She undergone chemotherapy and radiation therapy at the same time. I thought her old and fragile body cannot withstand the treatment but thank God she was able to finish the both treatments. A few weeks after her last session she went through PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Scan, to determine whether the treatments worked and it did, but just a few days after getting the result she has brought to the hospital again because she was throwing up. After running some test it was found out that she has aspiration pneumonia, which probably caused the whole thing.  Until now she is still admitted in the hospital, she is already 83 years old and I know how much of a fighter my grandma is. She had gone through a lot both physically and emotionally and I am proud to say she was able to overcome each one of them. Now she is battling again, it pains me to know that I could not even take care of her. The most that I can do is pray for her to get well soon. She is planning to come home next year, we are already planning how she is going to celebrate her 85th birthday and I still want that to push through. So Lola please get better.
