Author: I am on the 3rd book but let me first share to you my persoal review of the movie.]
| Category: | Movies |
| Genre: | Romance |
Then came opening night of the movie. I received a lot of posts both of Twilight lovers and haters creating a buzz over the multiply world – and curious as I am I opened the e-book sent to me 4 months ago -
Oh my God
I fell…hard.
It suffices to say that I read the book within 24 hours – that’s too fast for a very busy mom hahaha and watched the movie the following day. I promised to finish the book first because it’s a fact that the movie may be based from the book but it will never, ever be the same.
It wasn’t the best movie but it really swept me off my feet. I don’t know. For so many years I’ve considered Titanic my favorite movie of all time but people change right? And so do my favorites! There were a lot of alterations from the original dialogues and scenes on the book but it was okay – it is understood that we can’t put every single thing from the book in a 2-hour movie right? so please, stop the bashing!
Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) – I don’t know again. I can’t express my feelings in writing. He’s just too – PERFECT! There in all his mighty hotness stands Edward Cullen – a very hot vampire in this emo generation. I wasn’t expecting him to be mushy – because after all he is a vampire and a first time lover at that. He was not sure what his feelings were so it was expected that di siya marunong manligaw! Pattinson played the role very, very well which makes him my hottest foreign papa.
I know this movie was meant for teens and some may say that I am too old for this kind – but 28 isn’t too old right?
Posted in 
Geez, I am jaded – and panicky is an understatement. Had no one to turn to but Him so I am asking 10K from Him today because I am short for some dues I need to settle.
Being a stay at home with no fixed amount of money being deposited at my ATM every pay day can be very frustrating especially if the bills have piled up and your husbands money is not sufficient enough to cover it.
I don’t want to be in debt so borrowing from somebody is really out of context. I am in a dream – a not so impossible that a whole bundle of money will arrive at my doorstep.
This isn’t the first time that I have literally asked Him anything – most of the time He grants it. I just don’t know now – it seems too much. But with Him nothing’s impossible, right? One’s prayer and faith can move mountains. We just need to open our eyes, have faith and acknowledge what He has provided. He provides me most of the time, every time. And even more if I asked. That’s how God is, always ready to provide a helping hand. He knows how I burn myself to earn bucks so He never ceases to help me when I’m down and hopeless.
Now I’m just waiting – hopefully waiting for that someone whom God has used to give me that 10K I need before the month ends. I know that God really provides to those who are willing to do some sacrifices. I’m keeping my hopes up. Please, please, please do come.

Thank you for giving me a wonderful husband. A husband who knows not only to love me but also to accept me for who I am. I know that it is You who’s blessing him with all the love and patience he gives me and forever we are thankful for these. Times are hard but you provide us with all the courage to face and live each day.
Thank you Lord for blessing us with a wonderful child who knows how to please us. She’s our joy and we will do everything for her to grow up into the person that You want her to be.
Thank you Lord for the good health, for without this all our earthly wishes are nothing. I understand Lord that we’re leaving this place in Your time, so please help us ready ourselves in meeting you.

This morning I found out that my ol’ boring gmail has new FREE skins! whoa! isn’t it great? I quickly changed it and chose the Candy Theme! I still have that child in me, eh?
We were playing with play-doh while watching TV today when Yona said:
“Mahay Kita, Mom…” with matching pa-tweetums eyes hahaha
I’m used to hear her say “I love you, Mom!” so this was a surprise to me.
Natunaw na naman ang puso ng ina 
Lahat ng pagod ko nawala!
I wish to give Yona the following items this Christmas, but for a SAHM without a penny to spare, they’ll remain as wishes unless somebody with a kind heart out there will grant it 
Uy mga Ninong at Ninang ni Yona, read on….
1.) A pair of Tinkerbell Crocs – she needs one as her Dora Crocs got bitten by a rat 
Crocs are so comfy and versatile, really worth buying and If I have an extra moolah today, I won’t hesitate buying her one. She’s size 6/7 by the way hahaha
2.) An Abacus – A good sturdy one will do. I saw a cheap one (less than $10) in SM, pero mukhang di magtatagal. She needs this for her math lessons.
3.) A Barbie 12″ Bike – She’s outgrown her 3 wheels na! She used it for more than a year din, so this one siguro she’ll use until she’s 5 or 6. Sulit na ang $50 
4.) A Barbie 3-Story House – This one is simply a want. She’s been asking for a Barbie House the past few months but got contented with the one we made na rin naman so bonus na to hahahaha
I love contests as much as I love blog hopping! So when I stumbled upon Mommy Wannabe’s blog, join kagad ang lola! Wag ng magpatumpik-tumpik pa!
