He Sure Can Dance!

I noticed that my son loves to dance. Every time he hears is favorite music on the internet especially on YouTube, he would start dancing. I must admit he dances pretty good. One time, I told him to join the talent show at school this coming school year, but he immediately said that he is shy. As a Mom it's my job to encourage and praise him not only to boost his self esteem, so he wouldn't not stop doing what he wanted to do. I really think, he has a talent to show and that he can dance.

Anyway, I don't want to force him if he doesn't want to, but I know he will come around and will decide someday to go and audition. And when that time comes, I can take him to a place like audition-coach.com where they do a lot of "casting auditions" to discover new talents. I can also refer a friend who has a son who is really good in singing. This boy can sing I tell you. My friends needs to know first before going there to know "how to audition for singing."

I believe that parents support and encouragement play an important role in helping children develop their children's talents and abilities. Thanks also to such company like audition-coach.com that makes it possible for the talents to be discovered.

On Weight Loss Goal

Although I did walk and tried to eat good food, I still feel like I didn't do much at all this week to lose weight. Therefore, I am not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow for the biggest loser competition I have joined almost 2 months ago. I need to go better tomorrow if I were to lose weight be be healthy again. Really, I still wonder why it is easy to gain weight, than lose. My main motivation is be healthy again, be free from insulin and fit with all the clothes I have been keeping in my closet for years. I also want to gain back my self-esteem and set a good example for my son. It is possible, I know!

On a Tight Budget

It's been awhile since a friend of us lost his job. He has three small kids to support, bills, house payments and credit cards to pay. His wife is working two jobs while studying at the same time. I feel sad for them. I wish we cam help them, but we have our own obligations, too. Anyway, they bought an old van for their growing family. Though the van is old, it was working great still and it was looking good, too. They probably looking now for a liability insurance quote they can afford. I am pretty sure there is an insurance company out there that will meet their vehicle's need. Car insurance with full coverage is not an option for them right now because of their tight budget. I am so glad they have a car now to use as they run errands, drop and pick their kids up to school and the like.

It's Not My Thing

My husband loves going to some hardware stores and home improvement stores when he gets bored during his 3 days off from work. I normally go with him every time he does his favorite things. It's kind of like our date since our on is at school during those days. Sometimes, he will find something that I really have any clue the thing he was showing me, like for instance a turnbuckle. Pardon me, but I don't see this kind of thing very often. Plus, this is not a thing women's use in their everyday chores even lives. It's not a woman's thing. Anyway, the other day, he asked me to buy something that's got to do with watering gardens. I've never seen it before, and so I have to asked someone who works at the store if they sell something like that. Fortunately, he knew already what I was trying to described to him, and said 'they don't sell it.' He advised me to go to Home Depot or Lowe's for it. Oh well, My husband needs to find it for I don't have any patience looking for it.

Looking for Insurance Company

My husband and I have been talking about switching insurance company for awhile now. For whatever reason, the insurance company we have right now decided that they would increase our monthly mortgage payment to $50 more. That is too much and I don't think we would be able to pay more than we are paying right now. So, we started looking for an insurance company. With many insurance companies around, it is not easy for us to find the one we were looking for. It's like finding a company that will help with  annuity payments; the harder, the more choices to choose from. So, we need to be careful in selecting a company that will surely meet our needs. We really need to find one soon for they already charging us more for a couple of months now, ugggh!

Missing My Grandma

About four years ago, I have attended my grandmother's funeral back home to the Philippines. Her death devastated me because I lived with her half of my life. She took care of me when I was a baby for 7 years. Then, I took care of her for years before I got married. She has been very good to me and to all my cousins. She loves each one of us equally. Anyway, back then, we didn't know that a diapers for men and women exist. I remember washing my grandmother's underwear a lot. It was really hard back then because it was like a waste of time and money washing it everyday since she didn't have many underwear. Had we known about the said diaper for men and women, it would have been easier for us to change her diaper. No more underwear to be washed. All we could have done were throw those diaper in the trash can. Oh well, now we know, lol though it's already too late. Missing my grandma so much, wish she was still alive today.
