Boo! Happy Halloween!

We went to the haunted house here inside the base. It is located on top of a hill and goes into a bunker so it is a little bit spooky. Last year, we did not get to see what was inside because my son freaked out. But this time he was brave enough. Here's the first one we see, it's a dummy so Rylie was okay.

When this one screamed, Rylie said "I want to go home now, I wanna go!" Even if we told her that those are just in costumes, she was firmed to her decision that we should go home lol.

So they did not see this but I went and took a photo of the scene real quick.

When Rylie started freaking out, EJ got scared too lol. Here they are getting ready to get out hahaha..

Speaking of spookiness, look at the moon on a Halooween hehehe.

Some of the props outside! A witch hanging on a tree.

I don't know what this suppose to be. A white lady or.. am not sure.

Here's Rylie going down the hill. The way going to the bunker is a little spooky too since it was dark, there's only one big light on top. They put green lighting on the way up. Here's my daughter going down the trail.

We are going for a trick or treat tonight. A colleague told me that they are expecting 250 Korean trick or treater kids so it would be fun to watch. They are more excited to this occasion than the American's because they don't celebrate Halloween in their culture.

Rylie will be wearing a butterfly costume but we are not sure about EJ. I tried to make him try the Indian costume on him the other day but he did not want it. Our son is not very fond of wearing out of ordinary clothes so he might just wear a shirt or something tonight.

Maybe next year, we can let him wear the elves Presley that my sister-in-law had made him. Or we can find some Prison con Halloween costumes in the store next time. So let us see. Have a horrorific Halloween everyone..Be safe!

Life Insurance

Now that my husband is retiring from the military, he's been researching all types of insurance in order to replace the coverage that he has carried while being in the military. He is always concerned about the future welfare of our family in the event something ever happens to him. Especially since our children are still very young and will have many years of expenses ahead of them. He wants to ensure that our daily needs, as well as the children's education is completely covered.

He likes the coverage provided by the Veteran's Administration but he is interested in how well it will compete with the other insurance available. Life Insurance quotes are available online and take just minutes. He always likes to do a bunch of comparison shopping before he purchases anything, and insurance is no different. Research is extremely important when your insurance shopping.

You want to understand the type of coverage you are purchasing and you need to figure out how much coverage you actually need. Let's face it, most of us aren't insurance experts and choosing the right policy can be a real pain. Online resources are available to help you to make an informed decision based on your particular needs. To find out more, simply click on the link above.

Above the Clouds

It's Friday once again and another episode of Sky Watch Friday entries will be posted around the blogland. My entry are set of photos taken when we went to Jeju Island last May (2009).

During our flight going to the beautiful island of Jeju, my daughter saw these array of clouds and she asked me if we could take some photos of it. We were flying above the clouds and we felt like we are seeing an ocean but instead of water we were seeing clouds instead. Isn't it beautiful, it looks so comfy and soft... Do you see the cross on the first picture? It is at the center of the sun... It looks like God is watching over His beautiful creation.

This one here was taken during our first night at the hotel. The sunset was beautiful and it blended so well with the plam trees. Thanks for visiting guys, hope you all had a beautiful Halloween celebration. BOO!

I think he is planning for a DIY project again this time just like the one he did at our bathroom in the basement. But anyhow, he is studying the different shower enclosures that can be found in the above mentioned website so hopefully he could do it by himself.

Cagsawa Ruins

My friend Jane and her family gave us a tour in some of the tourist spots in Albay province last March 22. Our first stop was in Cagsawa Ruins. Passing by the road to Cagsawa, I can't believe how much damage the typhoon Reming did to the place. It was so developed when I left and now the road look like this. Some of the houses were washed away by flood that came from heavy rain and the lava from Mayon Volcano. Here are some snapshots we took during our stay there. Here's Jane family with me and the kids, EJ was sleeping.
They still have the swimming pool, my daughter freaked out because we didn't bring her bathing suit and she really wanted to plunge in the water.

Do you like those orchids for sale? hehehe

Pursue what you Love

My husband talked to the guidance counselor here in the base and asked him if there is a way that my degree in the Philippines could be transferred or credited in the States. He told my husband that if its a college degree, there is a very limited chance that it would be recognized in the States unless the school I attended to is accredited in the States. But, he said that for master's degree, I could qualify for the accreditation provided that I would attend some courses.

Since I am planning to go back to school when My kids starts to go to school, I started browsing for school where I could enroll. One of the online school that popped out during my search for business schools is the College Chicago. They offer many courses such as hospitality, business, psychology, education, and culinary arts business course.

My husband suggested that I should go on course which is related to medical career but it is not just my thing. I am into business and I think that is where I am going to do good. It is about pursuing what you love to do so I will have to go with my instinct.

We went to Sam Nam Jung during our island trip and we saw this pond full of water lilies blooming with pretty flowers.. There's two frogs in the first pic but they're so small.

Handling Tantrums

When you have kids, tantrums is unavoidable. Especially if you have two different genders. Oh my, sometimes when their differences collide, it's a big battle and a great challenge for parents. This week's theme for the Mommy Moment is about Tantrums.

I took these photos when EJ was throwing a fit because his sister did not want to give him the stick that he wants to play with.

Our little princess is very sweet but sometimes she has mood swings hehehe.

One of those moments when she does not want to play with him but EJ is very makulit.

EJ always say "Come on Ate, I wanna play"

Sometimes he does not want to play but the little girl is the makulit one.

EJ doesn't like it when he is sound asleep and you wake him up. He would really give it to you hehehe.

Sometimes the best way to handle tantrum is to just be silent, don't say anything but give them hugs and kisses.

Mommies and friends please help our daughter win, don't forget to vote (if you haven't voted yet) and please invite your friends to vote if you could. Maraming Salamat!

LLBean Coupons

Kids grow up so fast that is why when I buy them clothes, I always give some allowance for the sizes. I also buy just the right amount of what they need. I don't want to buy in bulk because they outgrow on it very fast. Just like when we went to the Philippines, I bought my kids some clothes because it was cheap over there. Some of the shirt that I bought for EJ was already getting small, I could not believe it. He is growing like an air balloon hahaha. But anyhow, I found some LLBean coupons at savings.com. I like the free shipping and 60% off on select apparel for the whole family.

Cool Savings has many LLBean coupons available. since we are going back to the mainland in December, I would probably buy EJ a snow suit like the one in the photo.
