Walk on A Cloud..

MOMMY DHARLZ — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 11:51:50 +0000

Lili asked me yesterday if we can walk on a cloud. And I told her the truth. Of course we would not be able to do that. Then she told me we should just create a cloud to walk on. Hmm… My daughter and her imagination! But seriously, she was actually right. We may be able to do that. Make a cloud to walk on.. Just like the trade show flooring I saw at www.camelbackdisplays.com. Of course, it pertains to creating custom flooring that fits whatever business you have. But if you really wish to, you can also have your flooring at home customized. So instead of just seeing a customized trade show carpet, why not customize your home carpet as well. So maybe Lili will be able to see clouds and walk on them, someday.. hehehehe…

Another interesting feature in the site are the logo mats and the logo canopy. I am now interested to have one for my soon to open mini food business.

Imagine how lovely and economical they are? Well, the tents can have customized flooring to go with them. And maybe we’ll have the clouds on the flooring for the design, so Lili can finally walk on a cloud..

But before anything, Carmz need to find the exact location in Valencia Bukidnon… We will partner in that soon to be endeavor..

Fun Rides..

MOMMY DHARLZ — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 11:09:18 +0000

Lili and River love the rides in the malls, wherever we may go. The photos here are from SM. While we were waiting for Nanay and Tatay to finish their shopping, we went up and had fun with them riding, me taking photos. The SEAL.. This ride is funny. Worked well when River dropped his token.. But Lili’s turn was a nightmare. We had to call the attendants to assist us because even if the token was already dropped, it still did not move..

The same happened with this Pony Carousel Ride.. Maybe they need to upgrade their rides.. lol..

This red car was better..

Lili loves this seal although it didn’t work well..

bankruptcy records

MOMMY DHARLZ — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:58:03 +0000

New York is perhaps one of the most progressive cities in the world. And you would not imagine that someone would ever become poor and bankrupt in a progressive city.. Well, new york bankruptcy records show that there are many who went bankrupt in NY.. If you wish to see the list, visit www.newyorkbankruptcyrecords.com and see for yourself..

With the surging economic downfall, any country in the world will get affected. And New York is just one of the many possible countries to experience such fate. What with the lifestyle and the cost of living, not to mention the cost of commodities and other stuff. If one is so used to a grand lifestyle, surely it will lead to a grand disaster of proportions which may lead to a grand slum dunk of resources.

So, in order to avoid this stressful circumstance, we must learn from those who have faced bankruptcy. We must learn how to save money while it is a plenty. For sooner or later, they will be gone with just a blink of an eye. Good for those who will be able to survive after such distress. But usually, those who do not, they end up dead and life is like a worthless battle for them in the end as some would end even their own lives. Tsk tsk tsk..

In Search of BISA SALDO???

MOMMY DHARLZ — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:50:57 +0000

Bisa bade us farewell last August, saying that she will be going home for the weekend but have continued to go AWOL..

Before she left she managed to leave behind a catastrophic damage in our household. Destroying private property and destroying them because she wanted us to fire her so she can leave.. Damage could amount up to 15K pesos, but that does not include the money given by my mom for her to pay for additional house helpers fare in coming here. Aside from that, she owes me a hefty sum for all the Personal Collection and Natasha products she ordered previously.

She left behind a few belongings that do not even match the amount she has should they be sold to pay up her shortcomings. So we have forgotten her like a bad dream— a catastrophic nightmare! Then Carmz came. We are happy with Carmz, no doubt about it. She has initiative and can be banked on at all times. She’s also great with Lili and River..

Last week though, a question popped in mind because apparently, Bisa Saldo showed herself at Lifetime and asked River if we have already found a replacement for her. After how many months??? Then, my sister Sweet saw her too, but she was able to hide and run away as if she was not noticed. So Carmz asked me how she looked like. Carmz said that maybe she has seen her too.

Hmm, I honestly, I feel sorry for her.

I gave her an opportunity that she just wasted..

Illinois sex offender reports

MOMMY DHARLZ — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:25:46 +0000

Hey guys, there is another discovery about the topic on sex offenders. I know you have read about them in my previous posts, but today, I discovered, not just a site or two where you can find sex offenders data base, but a site where sex offender reports are laid down, just like the illinois sex offender reports I found at www.illinoissexoffenders.net.

This makes it even better to track down all the sex offenders in our area, to equip us with the ways and means to protect our children and loved ones. Don’t you agree?

The site is really very helpful with that reports available for all to see. Access to the said reports tells how a sex offender have done in a couple of years after serving in prison and how they are in the community.

A Birthday Present

MOMMY DHARLZ — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:09:14 +0000

I bought this online and I am going to get this sometime next week in time for my birthday. This is my souvenir for all my hard work online. Before deciding what to buy, I asked myself what thing is most symbolic of my current affairs. And yes, a watch it is! I need to have something solid to measure time. Although I have many other wristwatches, I find this to be something more meaningful than all others. I have juggled my time against work offline, including my teaching stint at BSU, motherhood duties and of course my other online tasks. I have had so much bouts with sleep, and then there’s the power interruption that holds a huge roadblock to online access, but I did survive through them all (for now anyway.. and hope I will always survive them)…

As a matter of fact, in my 3rd week at Yovia, I have been included as one of the 5 in the leader-board or the top sellers/top earners.. For the first time in years, all overtime work has a corresponding monetary value, and it feels wonderful. I guess, if I am to sum up all the overtime work I have done since I started working, and equate them to how well I am paid now, I could say, I could have been a millionaire already. But of course, I am one of the many hardworking people who were underpaid and abused. And although I know that this may not last, I am enjoying every bit that I can… and saving enough too..

By the way, if you wish to earn up to $1000 a week (I wish I could reach that too), create a blog here. I will be happy to assist you, should you need help..

Just a reminder though, please don’t DEMAND money from me, or force me to give them away for nonsense deals (and then get mad if I say NO..), because my hard earned money is for my daughter’s college fund. I can splurge with family and friends once in a while, but life is different when you are a mother! I hope you understand. I will help you, but please help yourself…

Do you know any Kansas sex offender?

MOMMY DHARLZ — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:51:32 +0000

Do you have any idea who are among the list of offenders in Kansas? I mean, at least you have to know one (1) kansas sex offender to be sure that you can keep your family, wife and children, away from this person.I don’t mean to be so judgmental or anything, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. A lot of cases of missing children and raped victims were done by those with record already. Good if one is already a changed person, but most of the time, they are not.

Anyway, if you want to know, go ahead and visit www.kansassexoffenders.net, that is an updated site to help you in that quest. Find out if the nosy neighbor has a record or not. Like what i said, better safe than sorry.

Dessert Sampler

MOMMY DHARLZ — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:40:55 +0000

Last Tuesday, after Thanksgiving mass practice from the Nazareno Church, we ate at Pizza Hut. I treated Lili her favorite pasta and pizza, and this dessert.

Lili was so happy. But unfortunately, She only ate the ice cream, eating the cherry on top first, lol.. Carmz ended up eating the mango n cream and I the remaining treat. I love the chocolate oozing from it..

Surprise Me…

MOMMY DHARLZ — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:52:17 +0000

Hmm. It seems only yesterday I celebrated my 25th birthday.. And now, I can’t believe that I will be turning 34 this March 18. WOW! It’s truly a blessing and it is quite amazing how God continues to bless me after all these years. I am truly grateful.

Anyway, from people with kindred spirits, kind souls out there, listen up! I have here three things that would very much surprise me on my big day. Wanna know what I want for my birthday, apart from world peace? Well, err.. hmm.. It is a set of personalized bowls from Posylane.com, or some pink and mint green personalized pillowcases to match my new curtains. A green and yellow striped nap mat is also good..

Darn, I better start a formal list here as anytime soon I will start wanting many more items from the site. They are all so tempting.. Visit the site and see what I mean..
