We never get tired of going to HK Disneyland solely for Sophia and now for both - Sophia and Mateo. All the more reason to go back each time. Its very convenient as its just an hour and a half plane ride and the kids have the time of their life enjoying the park while I get to do the one thing that most girls love doing too - shopping! Jon on the other hand is content on pigging out and a little shopping on the side. This time we were checking out clarks shoes but they weren’t his type.

On to the park photos.

Here’s the usual, at the park entrance. Our 5th time! Willl post our yearly pics side by side soon.

With my whole family this time.

Random photos inside the park.

And then back at our hotel - Disney Hollywood Hotel.

Priceless.

One day after canvassing for ipods, I finally found the perfect swing seat for the little guy. Been looking for one for ages and its always unavailable or out of stock. Was even tempted to purchase the one I saw in Guam but a bit bulky so decided otherwise. Anyway, here look at the little guy enjoying it very much. His smile is priceless, don’t you just agree?

Day 3 was Disneyland Day. We checked in at Disney Hollywood Hotel this time. And as always, Sophia was ecstatic as soon as we got inside the hotel. Everything was very “Mickey”.

She loved the Mickey figure that she kept posing and posing.

And then we joined. Mateo kept giggling just looking at the Mickey Mouse figure.

They just can’t get enough!

Park Pics to follow. In the meantime, I need to look for available IT Jobs first for my cousin dear who just resigned from her job. Any leads? Let me know.

Cheapest College.

Have you heard of Western Governors University online degree programs? If you haven’t yet, you should read up on it. We all know how online universities have become such a hit nowadays with the comfort and affordability they offer, right? Well, WGU has that and more. WGU was founded in 1997 by 19 U.S. governors to help expand access to quality higher education, especially for working adults. And because WGU is non-profit, tuition is about half what other reputable online schools charge. This is the very reason why my cousin has opted to get her online teaching degree at WGU and nowhere else. As per my cousin, WGU is the best and not to mention - the cheapest college there is. She is a product WGU and proud of it and we are very proud of what she has achieved all these years too.

She’s almost 5!

In less than two months, our princess will turn a year older. Its so hard to believe she’ll be 5! I find myself saying the famous line again - how time flies! And true enough, it really does. She definitely is a baby no more. Well, physically, she looks like a 7 year old I know since she’s quite tall for her age and has lost all her baby fats already. But in my heart she’ll forever be my first born baby I - took care of 24/7, sent to every play class there was for her age, took to all my travels, religiously took and picked up from school every single day (before I had Mateo) and tell stories to nightly before sleeping with no exemptions (even if I still have tons of work to do like read up on sybervision weight loss product reviews). Yes, I just had to say those. For some reason it makes me feel good as a mom.

At 5, I wish she get to be more independent and continue being healthy. There is nothing more I could ask for aside from those two right now. She is far from perfect but she’s the perfect daughter for me.

Who are you in the family?

Just before I bury myself into work and look for diets that work, let me just first take this quiz and find out for myself - who am I in our family?

You Are the Dynamic One in Your Family

Family members who haven’t seen you in a while may joke that they hardly recognize you. And it’s true that you change a lot.You are very bright and quick-witted. You have to keep moving and keep learning to satisfy all your curiosities.While your life travels and studies may take you far away from your family, you’re always close to them in your heart.

And of all your family members, you’re the most interested in family history and genealogy. You want to learn as much about your family as possible.

Who Are You in Your Family?

On losing weight.

stage mom — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:29:08 +0000

Being a mommy of two, I always find myself struggling to lose weight nowadays. Its a constant struggle I must say especially when I have a husband who loves eating more than I do. Good thing I stumbled on www.loseweightfast.net second quarter of last year and it has been my best friend since then. Although every once in a while I lose it, I always get back on track with the help of this website. Self control and discipline is all you’ll ever need. And some patience too of course.Try it and just like me, you might find it the best thing you’ve discovered online.

As soon as we got to our hotel, Marco Polo Gateway, we left our luggage first and had lunch at Harbour City. Right after, when our rooms were ready, we checked in and took a rest - naps for the kids. And then we were ready to roll.

It was cold they say? My kids came prepared. In boots!

Every travel, a stroller is our must bring, all the time. Or else the husband will grow muscle unknowingly and unintentionally carrying the kids alternately.

Yes, they had got to have their photo taken first before crossing the street from out hotel, hehe.

Here’s the little boy getting walking 101 lessons from the dad and achie.

Off to the mall shopping. The day wasn’t enough I’m telling you. Everything was on sale!

Today…

has been unproductive. Aside from my failure to get the acne scar cream I’ve been eying, I also wasn’t able to do anything on my to do list. For some reason, I’m just not my usual self today. I feel down and gloomy. Maybe I need to step back and relax? I think so. I badly need sleep too, I guess. I’m hoping I would be better tomorrow so I can finally finish up on my must to list for my big boss.

I badly need online backup for my pictures. As friends have told me over and over again, to date, I still haven’t gotten one. What else is new? I am Miss Procrastinator for nothing you know.

Anyway, let me share with you first part of our HK Trip pics. We started the year traveling, could it mean we’ll be traveling whole year round?

Our PAL flight last January 1 was at 8am so we were at the airport an hour and a half before that time. It was so hard to wake up as we stayed late for our fireworks. We managed to not be late though or else the husband will throw a fit, hehe. Jon has this thing for being on time - ALWAYS.

At the boarding gate with my mom.

Flight went smooth and we were in HK in no time.

My charge and his charge. Kanya kanya kami, haha!

Off we went to Marco Polo Gateway Hotel after…
