Have You Got an Iphone 4?

How I wish I have the latest Iphone model; - Iphone 4! But the thing is I only bought the Iphone 3G S last year, and it is an unlocked phone which means I can use any SIM card with it anywhere in the world!
But for those who have the Iphone 4, Accessory Geeks is a site worth recommending for your iphone 4 accessories. You can get to know the latest accessories available for Iphone 4. Well, not bad for me as well, because I can get my own accessories for my Iphone 3G S here as well. So many cool stuff to check!

Beehives In Our Car

We have a car that has been parked and not being used for many months now and is only on our drive way. Then, I noticed there are several bees flying around it. They would come in groups so I tried to trace where the group of them were going.
Gosh, I saw them just behind the front door of our car, and they had a beehive there! Then I went around to check on the other door, and there was also another one there. Take a look at the photos!
I told my hubby to call the pest control, but he said it can be done with Raid, LOL!

So we bought one, and he sprayed all of it on the bees and knocked their beehives. We have to be aware of those worker bees (as they call it), because they can give a painful sting! They aren't killer bees though, but they still bite. Anyway, I guess we made them all dead with the insecticide. I don't see them around anymore, whew!

My Pillow Pets!

It's a pillow...it's a pet, it's a pillow pet! That was what the song was, LOL!

I got these few weeks ago. My husband saw it first on TV and then he thought of getting it online. It was cute when he showed it to me one time it was flashed on the TV screen several times. We got two, one is a dalmatian doggie and the other is a leopard.

They are convertible pillow - stuff toy thingy, and usually enjoyed by kids...but hey! adults are not exempted. We need to be child-like at times, don't you think?

So, there they go. I am using the dalmatian as my pillow, and the leopard is just displayed on the couch. Hubby hugs it from time to time but he can't use it as his pillow because he has his own special pillow ;).

They are super nicey :).

I'm now a Dual Citizen :)

Thank God that finally I was able to take my oath to re-aquire my Filipino citizenship last Wednesday (Aug. 25) at the Philippine Consulate in DC.
I had to re apply for a new passport as well since my Phil. passport that I recently renewed was considered invalid because it was issued to me before I became a US citizen. It was like a waste of 50 buck for that, but I wouldn't mind. As long as I can get my new one too soon for my upcoming trip in November. So, the waiting has started!

Oral Contraceptives & Pregnancy

Here's something to watch out. Oral contraceptives can be less effective in women who are overweight which put them at risk for unplanned pregnancies.
The research says that blood concentration hormones measured from a birth control pill in 20 women ages 18-35 found out that the pill took twice as long to achieve maximum concentration in an obese group as it did in normal - weight women.

Be a Better Parent

Let's face it. Most moms sometimes wish their kids would just disappear, - temporarily, just so you can read that paper in peace.
Mothers on the other hand still mostly believe that they should constantly engage with their kids but this mentality can leave no time for relaxation, - and creates stress that can possibly picked up by the kids. The fact is training your kids to play on their own is a best idea to do. This leads them to be creative, confident and develop critical thinking.

The first step to teach your kid to be okay to play alone is showing them how fun it can be. This process usually begins before he can crawl. Place your child on a crib or play pen with a few toys while you do your stuff. Rattles, stacking rings, or any easy-to-grasp objects can keep a 6-month old baby busy for 20 minutes.

Make a secure, baby-proofed play areas in your home and yard that encourage experimentation. Open-ended toys such as building blocks, Legos, crayons, costumes, etc...stretch your kids creativity to keep them occupied much longer.

Keep them engaged. You can keep them busy with little projects like lying on the blanket doodling the shape of the clouds, or give science experiments, arts and crafts. Encouraging your kid to develop passions makes him better equipped to handle life's challenges.

Most kids love little more than a big mess, and make them get occupied for hours. Making a mess encourages kids to experiment and learn, so, tornado-like clutter may be rough for most, but they're worth the clean up.
Carving out time for yourself isn't really about being organized; it's about relinquishing control now and then - and allowing your kids to do what they do best: - play!

A Hidden Danger?

It's surprising that when it comes to food, "raw" doesn't necessarily mean "unprocessed". There are fresh meat that may contain phosphorus or potassium which is added by processors to improve flavor or increase shell life. This can be potentially dangerous threat to people who have kidney ailments who need to limit their intake of these substances.
According to a recent study, they found out that 2-3x as much potassium or phosphorus in raw, processed meats as in similar cuts of unprocessed meats.
If you're strictly watching your potassium or phosphorus, look for meats labeled "additive-free."

What's On Your Baby's Mind?

Actually, this is one of the most common question a mom asks as she stares into her baby's big eyes! "What the heck is he thinking about?" Did you know that your baby's brain is working harder than you ever imagined?
According to a recent study, it discovered that babies and toddlers know more, learn more and experience even more than adults!

Here are some fascinating facts according to Gopnik, a Ph.D and author of "The Philosophical Baby."

Baby's got your number early on. New studies show that babies minds start to figure out how other people's mind work by 7 months. So when your baby see you reach an object, he gets that you want to grab it.

Your toddler knows there isn't really a polar bear living in her pocket. 70% of kids have imaginary playmates...their way of making sense of the world. Starting at 3-4 years old, kids understand that their pretend playmates aren't real.

Children need answers like plants need water. If your child constantly asks "why, why, why?" she's not trying to annoy you. Kids are driven to find out as much as they can about the world. So, be patient, give answers and brace yourself for that time when you'll be aching for your teen to seek you out!

Plan a Memphis Trip and Enter to Win a Trip!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Memphis Travel. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love traveling. I have been to at least 33 states in the US, and every state I had been to is absolutely awesome. I have been wishing to visit the 50 states to complete my goal, and I hope time will come for that :).
I haven't been to Tennessee yet, and the site is surely helping me a lot in the trip planning. It's such an ideal place to make a trip itinerary, indeed! In due time, Memphis will be one of my target area for a future trip.
I love the Memphis-savvy travel guide. This is so cool as a trip planner. Well, I love to go outdoors and usually I pick this type of activity in the summer. I love visiting parks and gardens for photo shoots and some indoor and outdoor adventures as well. If I get the chance to do the Memphis trip, I would also love to do the couple's trip for two nights since both I and my husband always travel together :).

And to complete the fun...there should always be food along somewhere, LOL! I love food as much as I enjoy travel. YoLo is the perfect place to hang on to particularly in summer. And why not? We both love frozen yogurts with my husband! Well, ice cream, frosty, frozen yogurts in any forms are always perfect for summer, don't you think?
Gosh! I wanted so very much to join to enter to win a trip package! Our schedule is full for summer until the end of this year.
Anyway, this is worth recommending for my readers out there who would like to go and play around in Memphis! :). I'm sure it should be worth the fun. I should have found this earlier...(sigh).

Hubby's Birthday!

It's my beloved's birthday today. The gifts I ordered early last week arrived just in time before his birthday, so I had the chance to wrap them :).
Nothing big for the celebration. We will be having our dinner together at our mom-mom's house, so I'm glad I don't have to cook dinner today, lol!
