Bye Heath ledger.

I have always liked this young guy. The films he starred in were really very nice and I watched them over and over again, like the 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knight's Tale.

In 10 Things..., I have liked it so much that I wished for quite a period of time that he would end up with Julia Stiles in real life... It was a kind of flick that is so young, so amusing... it was targeted for the teens but even matured audiences would get entertained. Truly a great performance Heath has given out there.

In A Knight's Tale, it was also fun. Heath never ceased to amuse me in that movie... together with his group. Of course not to mention the fact that he was really gorgeous in the film.

Cassanova was also fun...and his performance in The Patriot was really touching. Watching him as Mel Gibson's son has made me cry... especially on the dying scene.

I really felt bad on his demise. It was something that is so wasted... meaning such a talented young being no longer be seen on the screen. A huge sigh came out from me upon learning of the shocking news... not a sigh of relief... but a sigh of sorrow. Heath is such a big loss in the showbiz industry.

Here's a scap of the breaking news...

Dream Bag

I planned to treat myself with a new bag. It was part of my Christmas wishlist, but unfortunately, was not able to materialize. The fact is, I wanted to use my paypal credits to purchase the said item but there are no means where I could make it. I have browsed through eBay already, and found so many bags that made my eyes go round with mouth wide open. But then, I couldn't place a bid because eBay requires me to add a credit card information in my account in order to transact internationally (note: I am not from US and I was browsing at eBay US). Likewise, eBay sellers in my area don't accept paypal as payment. Whew!!!

Oh well, the item auction has already expired.

Then, I saw eBags.com and was elated to learn that they also accept paypal as payment. But then again, my paypal account is not a US account, and so that is another problem. Just how can I purchase a bag now???

Sexy Love - Allison and Ivan

I so much loved this dance, that I already loved the song too. I have added this video to my favorites, and I hope one day I could dance like them... lol!

Anyway, just want to share this vidz...

Why Kids are Adorable

I got this email from a close friend...several stories of smart kids that makes them adorable.

Since Christmas is just a fews hours away, just want to share the email for everyone to brighten and cheer up. And since Christmas is for kids, then these stories would definitely put the smile in your face.

Here they go...

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE . God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

Have a joyful Christmas everybody... and a Fruitful New Year as well.

Nuisance or Not?

Having three small kids is like a bed of roses.....with thorns. It is not really easy, well at least for me. Aside from the fact that I have to wake up in the middle of the night just to prepare a bottle of milk, or play around, or whatever it is that they wanted to do at an unhourly moment.

As I am writing this entry, I have them here with me. Thank goodness my eldest has snoozed off, which left my two sons still up and very much "unsleepy". I was working on making them sleep a few hours ago but I gave up. Whew! My second kid was playing with our TV's remote control while my youngest was playing with my cellphone, with quick jabs at the laptop's keys. Every now and then I would look at them to check if the items they were playing with were still intact and functional. Another whew!

Anyway, that is the thorny part of my bed of roses.

They may be nuisance at some instances but they are the ones I could not live without. They are the most important part of my life. They taught me the virtue of patience and understanding, which at present I am still struggling to achieve. But nonetheless, I have to admit that I am the happiest mother on earth when I am with my kids, even in the midst of their mess.

On Removing Stains

It is a known fact that kids really want to display their creativity at every given opportunity. When crayons or pens are just on their reach, then expect that your walls will be filled with "works of art" in minutes.

My three kids are fond of writing on the walls no matter how many times they are told not to do it.

Thanks to some tips that I got, which has somehow helped me get rid of those marks...

For crayon marks:

• Spray lubricant (car lubricant) on the area with the marks
• Wipe with a soft cloth, in a circular motion
• If there are still stains that remained, wash them with a sponge with dish soap and water.

For pencil marks:

• Erase the pencil marks off your wall using a white, gum eraser
• If no eraser is available, use baking soda to wipe them off... (baking soda should be mixed with a bit of water
• Rub the area with a non-gel toothpaste

I have tried these tips and it really worked. Now, I don't worry too much everytime my kids are having their art sessions... but then, the effort of cleaning out their mess is still tiring...
