There's gonna be a clearance sale at Bangsar Village II on 2 and 3 August. Brands offered include: Diva, Pumpkin Patch, Karen Millen & More. It's from 11am - 8pm, third floor, Bangsar Village. It's been a long time since I haven't gone to Bangsar Village. Hmmm.. am I going? Unfortunately not. Crowded places makes my head swirl... and dizzy. I don't mind going for books sale though. It's worth buying books. It doesn't lose its value although it's already second hand.
kids' meals are for free at TGIF so samantha and schenker had both hotdog platter that came with french fries.
vailable. Mauro and Paola at romaclick.com are a couple of real experts in leisure travel in Italy. They live there. That's why they know everything about rome. Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trastevere, St Peter's Basilica and the Vatican. These are the places that make Rome the Eternal City and these are the sights I want to visit. St Peter's Basilica is a fifth century church and is famous for housing Michelangelo's recently restored and seminal sculpture of Moses. The church also contains chains that, according to tradition, bound the Apostle Peter during his imprisonment in the Mamertine jail. That is indeed very interesting. As I am writing this, I get very excited coz I can just imagine being inside this beautifully designed church, looking at Michaelangelo's paintings!
as i have said in my previous post, happy day, my blog at wordpress, http://jan8t.wordpress.com was slapped by google. from pr2, now it's pr0. i was actually just waiting for it to happen like that so that i can move it to a new domain. i didn't want to move it before because it still had a pr. you know, if you're a wordpress user, earning from it will be of limited coz paid post companies don't accept wordpress blogs. wordpress usually doesn't allow their free wordpress blogs to be monetized, that's why. i only get opportunities to write there from loudlaunch but it's not much. and now that it's pr is 0, i bought a domain for it. from http://jan8t.wordpress.com, it is now http://jan8t.com. so i am staring all over again for that blog. that means, i can only get pr 5 to 6 months later (i hope) and can only monetize it from there. for now, i'm happy that i can still do reviews and earn at the same time with two of my blogs. cheers!
o Butuan with her family. I think they chanced on meeting my mom. My mom probably told her I was here. So she called her sister and gave me my phone number. Thank God for international calling cards. It makes communication faster and better. Not all will have computers and internet connections in the Philippines and so for better and faster contact, we use international phone calls. Calling from the Philippines is made easier and better.
We had a very interesting weekend for Jan. We'd been wanting him to attend his Gymboree playgroup in Bangsar Village, but everytime we go, it's either he would fall asleep and not get up until the hour is finished or he's not in the mood to join. And that's what happened last Saturday. We went and as we drove, he fell asleep in the car. We thought probably he'd get up by the time we reach the place. But when we reached the place and got down from the car, he was still asleep. As we went inside there was some kind of noise made by the Chinese celebrating CNY. It was soo noisy as they were performing the Lion Dance. And again, I thought probably, this time he would wake up. But sad to say, he slept through the noise. So we ended up going back to the house not joining his playgroup that day.
Had an interesting weekend for me as well. After our trip to Bangsar Village, we went to the KTM station to fetch Pete and Dot (Australian - teachers of MCMS) and took them to a Korean Barbecue in Taipan. I was so excited to take them there coz the last time we went there we had sooo much fun and we enjoyed the food so much! But this time, I didn't know why... After our food, I had this some kind of tummy feeling. After we got home, I got sick and threw up everything I ate. 
It was terribly disgusting! And no, it's not what you think. I'm not pregnant. I just had this kind of terrible reaction when I eat a certain food my tummy doesn't like.
I had to rest and not go to church the next day. 
We missed 2 Sundays of church already. Jan and Samantha missed their toddlers' and cradle roll classes for 2 Sundays now. Hopefully we could go to church next weekend.
And yes! I did my sauna in Sunway Club again. After my spa experience in Hatyai, I was encouraged to do my sauna again. I'm hoping to do this at least once a week. (When Peter is not too busy anymore). MCMS is still going on... so Peter goes to office early (at around 8 am) coz he has to send the couple who's staying with us.
We're having a team dinner tomorrow night. I'm glad I'm not cooking this time. Appreciate the rest. Sue is doing taco for dinner! Cool. We're having western meal again. Yum yum! Will get others to share food also.
Okiedoc... this is all for now. Will see if there's something interesting that will happen during our dinner tomorrow then I could write more.
other anymore. even your own neighbor, you don't trust that much. how? Everytime I open my internet to connect online, I would see a line of internet connectivity, from my neighbors, including mine. And you would be happy that there are so many wireless network available in the area. Not true. Everybody's network connections need password so you don't and you can't simply connect internet from their network. We can't blame us though, with a lot of hackers and stealing of passwords and all that, we better put our internet on secured connection. Same thing with offices, we need to have a secure shell for our network. Pragma Systems, Inc. is the leading provider of enterprise class remote access and security software for Microsoft Windows platforms. You might wanna check it out.
P.S. As of this moment, this blog, expressions and thoughts, by the way, is also featured in Social Spark.
h i had to struggle quite a bit for the first few months because my bag was snatched while walking out of the church. my passport was inside my bag, which was newly renewed (just 3 days old). i had to re-apply for a new one and re-apply for a visa to stay in malaysia. that's where the hard part came in. malaysian immigration officers gave me a hard time, asking me nasty questions for half a day, only to give me 3 days to leave the country. that was quite a bad experience for me. it took me a long time to recuperate from fear of snatch thieves, fear of facing immigration officers and fear of crossing the border. but i have overcome that fear, thank God. and this reminds me that i have to renew my one year visa next month.
asked husband's permission. He said no at first. And I thought I wouldn't go ahead without his blessings. The next day, he asked me about it and what it entailed. I explained. I got a go signal. 7 months later I earned $1,000+. In fact my average monthly earning is $200+ per month. It's not much compared to my US-based blogger friends. But it's better than nothing at all! I had spent my first month's income by celebrating it with family by shopping, dining out, etc. And I haven't spent the rest of it. Yet. I was considering of investing it in shares. There was a friend who came to us and offered us about it. But it turned out questionable. So right now, the plan B is to put it into savings.
remove the legs of the bed so that the mattress touches the floor. Just to protect my girl from falling off the bed that high. So now it looks like it's a platform bed. When I was searching online about Modern Platform Beds, I came across this beautiful bed from moder-contemporaryfurniture.com. They have such beautiful beds and I saw one that's perfect for my family. They have high quality beds. They're also durable and look very sophisticated. I so wish to have this bed. So then our co-sleeping moments with kids would be better. We could all sleep there until they grow old (wishful thinking). Hehehe.
nd love of arts by doing his own paintings even when he was working as an engineer already. and i remember him saying a lot of things about Vincent Van Goh and that he read his life story. and why the song starry starry night. if you are an art lover, you would know the reason of the song, wouldn't you? and so, everytime i hear that song, i remember my friend joseph. he had passed away already and i become very emotional when i hear that song. like joseph to vincent, i know very well my friend joseph's life story. nobody wanted to listen to him (except me - but i couldn't do anything else anymore because i was already away from the Philippines when it happened). and so his love for paintings grew. until he died. and tonight i miss him so badly. my husband knew about his story too and met him also when i took my husband to the Philippines to meet my family and friends. i was just sorry I wasn't there when he died. i was sorry for not being there at the funeral. whatever happened to his paintings - this i wonder. i hope the family has kept them. i wonder if they still have them. i would surely want to keep some of them as my own. how? maybe they can ship them to me. i know one website that does Art Moving. But it's only available in Massachussetes. Well, if you happen to be in that area and you want to ship your art, you might wanna check it out.
US. but i'm sure they're readily accepted there. my friend aisha is also leaving for US and i'm happy for her. at least she's going to be with her husband soon. the other day, i blogged about my husband taking me to the US one day. one of my friends who is currently living in the US promised me there's a lot of nice places to see there. i hope i could visit her too. i would love to go to the biggest mall in america. it's just a 15-minute drive away from their place. then there's new york. a lot of nice places to see. actually it's not very hard to do a tour in new york because there's JFK Airport Shuttle where th
ey offer affordable, reliable and safe ground transportation services throughout New York City and the surrounding suburbs. Their share-ride airport shuttles provide transfers in each direction between JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark Airports and hotels, residences and businesses between Battery Park and 125th Street. They operate every day of the year. and they offer $5 discounts on round trips when booking online. Wow. Will have to look back into this IF (i'm saying IF) ever we go there one day.
finally we had it last weekend
it has to be savoured this way. yum!
how was your weekend?
Chris Tomlin with the Passion Worship band is coming! And it's gonna be soon. They're having a worship concert here in Malaysia on August 3, 2008. And I am going to be there. We already have somebody to look after the kids on that day. It is amazing. Remember when Peter went to US? It was this band that invited him to attend their conference in Atlanta. It was fully sponsored and we're truly honored that Peter was invited.
went to a couple of malls to buy me somethings. But when he went to California, he was able to visit Hollywood. I'm supposed to post pictures of his trip to the US but it always slips my mind. He enjoyed his trip so much he promised to take me and the kids there one day. He was actually thinking of doing New York City Tours. Hmmm I wonder if it is going to come true. Ever.
