Techie Girls

I only have until 1:25 PM (PH time) so I better make this quick.

My SIL went to our room this morning and opened the modem. The girls were still sleeping at that time and I cannot leave the bed yet. So I took advantage of my LG GT505‘s wifi capability. I was able to browse in Facebook, check my emails and even chat in YM! I never knew I could use my phone like that.

Then hubby asked me to prepare his packed food. When I returned to our room, Ayex is already awake and was tinkering my phone. She told me she wanted to watch Smurfs in youtube. Hubby objected and told me to get the netbook my SIL gave Ayex instead. That netbook was supposedly mine but she put her name on it first.

Somehow, I cannot not make Zoodles work in that netbook. So I told her that I will just lend her sapphire, this laptop that I use. So Ayex is using the laptop and I am fixing the netbook. (I should give that a name.) I restarted it and it installed tons of updates. Upon boot up I was able to install Zoodles.

And this is how we looked like a few minutes ago.

Maxyn also has a toy desktop, which Ayex originally owns. It will never surprise me if Maxyn will also ask for own laptop or netbook when she turns four-year-old.

Happy 1st Birthday Maxyn!

To our little darling who everyone looks forward to meeting every afternoon stroll,

To our little sweetie pie who eats everything she sees even when it is not edible,

To our little dancer who entertains us with her feet and booty moves,

To our little explorer who never fails to make a mess of our house,

To our little sunshine who never fails to lift our tiredness with just one smile,

Happy Birthday!!!

May you continue to be a blessing to others and may you grow up just like what God want you to be.

Catching Up

It has been six days since I last left home for work. Yes, I am officially unemployed now. Ah, I waited quite a while for this. Now, I have plenty of time at home with my husband and the girls. I often feel guilty before because everything that a mom and a wife should be doing for the kids and spouse were done by others on my behalf. Being at home too has given me lots of time to catch up with my friends. You see, I really had a hard time balancing family life, work, and personal life. But not anymore.

Recently, I met with a few friends over coffee and I really had a great time even if we still had lots of things to talk about. Yes, lots and lots of things to discuss because we only see one another almost once in a blue moon. The greatest take away a have from that chat is about finances. Now that I am unemployed, I am doing my best to control my expenses. But there are times when one will have a need for money and there is nothing. I am glad to learn that there are various short term loans nowadays. That there are companies who offer title loans (like loan secured car title) and the approval is really fast.

I cannot predict the future and as much as I want to be debt-free, only time can tell. I will manage my finances well but if time comes I will be in need, I will turn to my friends and ask them more about these secured loans. Now, isn’t that a very informative catching up time?
