Aiyoh..!!! just because her friends did it too.

Are You A Bad Mom ..?

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, Family/From the Heart - Mama BoK @ 6:18 pm

I read from another blogging mom’s blog questioning herself if she was a bad mom.. for being on the computer for the whole day… and not playing with her daughter… because the need of her earning the extra money.. because her husband isn’t working. If that at this point of time, would someone say that she was an “awesome mom” or “did a great job with her daughter”. I am sure alot of mummies out there asked themselves this question all the time. And seeing some that churned out plenty of work each day.. means that alot of time is taken away from the kids.

Spending time on the computer .. trying to put food on the table for the family, doesn’t make you a bad mom. But life is short.. and one has gotta learn to prioritize and once you know how to do that.. you’ll be fine. Now you would be a bad mom.. if you were on the computer all day.. neglecting your child.. and cheating the system.. and trying to make a few more bucks that don’t belong to you. Now that would make you a bad mom! There is absolutely nothing wrong in working hard the whole day.. but when you lie and cheat thinking that no one saw you .. well.. you know you are not a good mom at all. How would you face your kid..?? I wouldn’t be proud.. would you..?? Are you a good mom..??

All Mums Should Learn To Take A Nap

Filed under: Health, Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing - Mama BoK @ 1:09 am

Yes… ! i didn’t think i can do it.. because like all moms.. around the world.. you wanna get as much done as possible. But let me tell you .. it is a very good practice . .to be able to nap.. even if it was an hour. I took the opportunity to nap.. when our babysitter .. keegan was in… and even though i was tossing alot.. i still got some rest.. and feel alot better.

In my case.. as you all know the brat wakes up at all hours of the night. PB and I hardly get 8hrs.. and if we did get 6 .. we would be very happy. So yes, new mothers, old mothers.. to be mothers.. or not even mothers.. should learn how to nap. even if it was an hour.. it does the body good.

Savings Account

Filed under: Useful Links 101 - Mama BoK @ 12:54 am

We started having a savings account for our daughter just after she turned one. Afterall, she does get a check from the government till she is 16 yrs old.. and to use it . .it would not be right. We feel that doing it now.. when she is young, it would only means that she gets a head start for her college or university.. or when she decides to travel the world.. before she starts working. We all have big hopes for our children.. i am sure.

We are currently looking into online savings for her because we are always busy at work and sometimes the cheques sit in our home for a few weeks before it gets into her bank. But with online banking, we can just transfer it from our own to hers.. without any delay. Plus when she is older, it is going to be a breeze for her too. There are many benefits to using an online savings account, not only does it saves time, it saves money and effort too. No more queuing . . and no more having to worry about bad weather.

When you maintain a minimum balance of $300, you will never be charged a service charge but even if you are it’s only $4. You get to do all your transactions online and get your electronic statement for free. And when the kid is older and needs a checking account, she can easily link her online savings account to a WaMu checking account. If you are thinking of a savings account for your children, why not check WaMu out.

She has so much fun bathing.. and PB does a good job.. cleaning her up. .because i can’t bend over.. because of my fibroids.

Even my mother-in-law said i was lucky.. to get so much help. .for she didn’t.

Manhattan New York Real Estate

Filed under: Useful Links 101 - Mama BoK @ 6:07 pm

Whether you are relocating, buying a house or downsizing or upgrading, we all know that it’s a huge investment.. and just like any couple, family, we know that we have to be very careful when we buy a house or sell one.

And if you are moving to New York City, Long Island or the Hamptons, the name behind Manhattan New York real estate, Douglas Elliman’s real estate company is Prudential. And I’m sure that you know how established and reputable Prudential is and unlike your friendly neighborhood real estate agent that might fly by night. At Douglas, you can expect professionalism and integrity when you deal with them. Check out their listings of Hamptons real estate properties and you will see why I highly recommend them.

Don’t be intimidated by their yearly sales volume of $12Billion or over 13,200 transactions because even though they rank a month the top 10 real estate companies in USA, they are very dedicated to helping your achieve one goal and that is to find you the right property or sell your property for you at the right price.

It Takes Two

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing, The Other Half - Mama BoK @ 4:20 am

Sometimes whenI see PB carrying the brat to bed.. i get such a wonderful feeling.. maybe my dad was never this way to us..?? And on the other hand.. i know i can never make it as a one parent thing. It’s hard to be a good parents .. and to do it alone.. now that’s scary. Alot of ppl do it.. but i doubt i can. I’m a two parents kind of person. What about you ..?? I do admire those single moms..! i donch know how they do it.. or brave it out.

A Mexico Wedding

Filed under: Family/From the Heart, Useful Links 101, Vacations/Travel - Mama BoK @ 7:09 pm

PB had a cousin who had her wedding planned Mexico and although it was a very small wedding, it was wonderful. I recommend Rocky Point Mexico wedding because they take care of the wedding couple and their guests. It was absolutely romantic, they even have videos to bring back with them to show their family and friends that couldn’t attend.

With beautiful sandy beaches, warm blue waters, and stunning sunsets, It was a magical wedding, the cousin & her husband were relaxed and enjoyed the care free pleasures of beachfront wedding and romantic honeymoon. Very memorable and oh so romantic not only for the wedding couple.. but for us who had attended the wedding.

After a week with no keegan, the brat was definitely happy to be with her again. They played dressed up.. and drew .. and ate . . and she was extremely happy .. after Keegan left. They do get along well.. and keegan does take good care of the brat. Oh . .and i took a nap. Awesome..!

Old Man’s Darling, Young Man’s Slave

Filed under: Amusing/Musing - Mama BoK @ 10:19 pm

When i was younger.. my mom used to say.. marry an older man .. and you become his darling.. but if you marry someone younger.. you become his slave. I’ve always thought that it was true.. because the older man is supposedly to be more worldly and would take care of the younger wife right..?? But when i was pursued by a old man.. when i was in my twenties.. i stopped and thought about what the future will hold for me… when he is 65 and I am only 40 ..??

I’m in my 40s now .. and still very active.. and want to go for facials.. and massages. .and holidays.. and take up pilates .. and rock climbing.. or even fly a plane if i get a chance. But would my 65 yrs old spouse be able to do as much with me..?? I chose to remain only as friends.. because even though he was established.. had 2 houses in Memphis, Tennessee, I cannot see a future with him. Ironically, I married someone much younger than I and I became the cradle robber.. in our relationship. But you know what .. my mother’s theory was wrong.. because if you asked my in-laws.. they would definitely tell you . .that i’m spoilt in this relationship. It’s awesome.. that I don’t have to carry any heavy grocery bags or strapped my daughter into her car seat.

So .. would you marry an older man..?? what does an older man see in a younger woman.. and vice-versa..?? Does love really conquers all..??

Parent’s Place

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing, Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 3:01 pm

We have been trying to get ahold of the Parent’s Place for registering the brat into the “ready, get set, go” program. We’ve to put Chloe into this program to prepare her for school.. and come June she is going for orientation the whole day with her new school.

I’ve mixed feelings… and would really wished someone from Parent’s place would call us back not only because of registering the brat.. but because we wished to see how we can help.

Auto Recycling

Filed under: Amusing/Musing - Mama BoK @ 2:48 pm

I don’t think we have an auto recycling store here, so to find stuff that you need for your cars, vans or even truck, one have to go online. Some small garages here must carry some stuff.. but not everything, and I am figuring that they must cost alot more than what some people can afford locally.

My customers uses midwest auto recycling as they specializes in used engines and transmission. With one of the strongest warranty nationwide, how can you go wrong with it. All engines are completely assembled and they are started, inspected, tested for leaks and cleaned before being slow. Transmission are test driven and visually inspected and cleaned too.

She Speaks In Tongue

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Weather, Amusing/Musing, This Town - Mama BoK @ 2:46 pm

Chloe still does her own language thingie. It is almost funny to see her talk to herself.. in her own language. I have yet to catch her on video.. because she stops.. whenever i try to whip out a camera. Does your kid speak in a funny tongue that you don’t understand..?? I teased her all the time.. about her speaking in tongues.

Precious Metals & Investment

Investing is not really a huge thing for me, because i’m such a wuss.. and hate losing. If you are like me, you would want to look at investing in something alot more solid.. and rarely depreciates in price.

Sorry to take over your title .. Laundry Amah..! but borrow first ya.. ! The man had been helping me to do laundry .. when we moved to our new house .. some 3.5 yrs ago. Well.. the initial reason was because it washing machine and dryer is at the basement .. and it’s cold down there.. since we don’t keep the heat up alot.

Photobucket

Yes.. and PB folds the clothes too.. and i think he does a better job than I .. muahahahha!! But most of our laundry .. are actually towels and those of the brat’s.

Everything Paintball

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, This Town, Useful Links 101, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 2:36 pm

You ever wonder why our men loves games like paintball..?? it’s beyond me.. to be honest.. but they do love it alot. And for someone from a town that doesn’t have very much to do.. you can’t really blame them for trying to find some excitement. It is better/cheaper than having to get him a four wheeler to ride in the swarms eh.

Unfortunately, the guys are not able to find what they want.. for they want the latest and the best. Afterall, playing this game ain’t for only young kids.. but for the older man too.. like PB. Paintball masks, spyder paintball guns and guns and goggles are available at ZephyrPaintball.com. You will be astonished at the inventory they have. This online retailer is focus on everything you need for your paintball.

We Have A Bad Habit

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing - Mama BoK @ 2:35 pm

When we were kids…. my parents never let us watch a tv show and eat at the same time.. nor did we drink water.. till we are done our meal. Of course .. when I had my own, I didn’t wanna do that to her.. but you see.. i’m living to regret it. Because the brat is either drinking to much water.. to finish her food.. and/or too engrossed with the movie show.. and is slow at eating.

See never, never say our parents are strict.. they do, do things for a reason.. and not just to torture us.. muahahhaha~!! I’m noting this down.. so that chloe wouldn’t make the same mistake as we did.

Accident Victims Get Help

It is an awful shame.. when an accident occurs. Some don’t want the trouble.. and others don’t know any better. I’ve seen how some people signed papers for things they don’t really understand at work place accidents and lived to regret it.

Shopping For Babies

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 2:32 pm

An insider guide to all your baby’s need and wants. Now this should be a welcome to new parents .. because I know I would have found it really useful .. for the things I need to get for my newborn .. some 4 yrs ago.

When you need to find out which baby shops are the best to shop at or carry the products you need at the said time, isn’t it awesome.. to be able to check out what other parents say before going..?? and not be disappointed..?? They even have an active chatroom and forum for parents to gather .. and discuss about everything.

My In-Laws Fed Me Shit

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, The In-Laws - Mama BoK @ 2:00 pm

Yes.. we were talking about corn.. because the ones we had bought .. wasn’t good at all. And PB had said.. that i always said .. that the corns were bitter.. and rolled his eyes. Then my MIL came to my rescue and said.. no, she had heard about me saying corns were sweet somtimes. In which I replied .. that they were corns from their garden.

In which my mother-in-law replied.. “that’s because of all the pig shit in the fields… Muahhahaha!! so yes.. they fed me shit.. !! all these years.. and din’t tell me.

A Healthy PC

Filed under: Blog News, Useful Links 101 - Mama BoK @ 1:47 pm

I would be handicapped with my computer… or if i had to leave it at a computer store for a week or so..to get it fixed.. if it was attacked by viruses or spywares. Hateful as it is.. one can do something about it.. like getting a virus protection software.

Using NOD32 is your one product protects all software that is not only effective but allows you to do your renewal online with NOD32 renewals. Saving you time and money in the long run as the software is very reasonably priced and I cannot see a reason why anyone wouldn’t want to protect all their information and hardwork.. on their hard drives.

Not that we cannot afford one.. but it is major work.. to try and put in one now .. that we are already living in the house. And we don’t have the time to stay home .. the whole day.. just to get a dishwasher in .. so we make do. I don’t hate washing dishes.. i just can’t stand too long.. so what do one do.. when you don’t have a dish washer..?? and you can’t stand too long..??

Photobucket

Yes..! you guessed right..! you make the man do the dishes.. and the bottle as well. Afterall, it is just on the way eh. I know that during my grandfather’s time.. and even my own brothers..weren’t expected to do housework at all. But you see.. PB was already pretty hands on .. before i came.. for he actually lived on his own.. when he turned like 18 ..??

Spanish Reservations

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Vacations/Travel - Mama BoK @ 1:44 pm

Usually when i need anything to be spoken about officially, i turn to man.. all because the ppl here understands him better than I . They claimed i have an accent.. and some cannot comprehend me, even though I assure you .. i speak fairly well.

So i am not surprised and in fact applaud the folks at ofertas de hoteles, they had gone beyond and above their call of duty.. to cater to their Spanish customer.. for they understand.. that we feel more comfortable speaking in our own language. For those who are like me.. who are comfortable with their native language - Spanish, you can now make all your hotel reservations and more .. in Spanish. No more worrying.. about making the wrong booking or being laughed at .

I Got More Bok ChoI

Yes.. I got more baby bok choi today.. from my father-in-law. Pictures to follow .. but this time.. i brought the whole bucket home.. so that it would grow a little more.. before i chop them down.. and stir fry them with oyster sauce, garlic .. and some fried shallot. I can’t wait for more baby bok choi.. maybe once there is more.. i can fry them up. .and eat them with my in-laws.. so they can see how sweet the baby bok choi is. It really taste alot different from the ones.. we can get in Halifax. This is not scrawny.. but fat and juicy.

Family Vacation

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Vacations/Travel - Mama BoK @ 1:41 pm

We planned to go for a family vacation every year but it doesn’t always come true for us. Sad but it’s true.. we have other commitments like running our own business.

But you see .. during winter and after Christmas it is usually slow for us and if we can, we would chose to go to Cancun .. like the rest of Canada. When you are going for a vacation with kids, you need to make sure that you find the right resort because the kids need to be entertained too. Azul Sensatori Hotel is said to be your ideal place for family vacations. They can help facilitate your family’s specific travel needs. It is awesome that someone else is taking care of you .. and your family .. during your rest and relax trip.

Fake Weather

For those who sees pictures of sunny weather .. in some of my pictures.. i just want you not to think that it is already warm here. Far from it in fact. Although the sun may be out.. and it does look sunny and warm.. the winds are very chilly .. and one cannot even go out in the open.. without being all dressed up in warm clothings.. yet cannot stay out too long. It does suxs .. big time..! I do missed the weather back home.

Diabetes & I

Stress Free Planning

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Vacations/Travel - Mama BoK @ 2:01 am

I don’t know about you, but going on a vacation even before it starts was quite stressful for me but I am glad to announce that I am not anymore. You see, the planning of any big trip or even a weekend vacation is usually done by us, the “efficient” women, as the spouse likes to call us, so that they don’t have to make any decisions for fear of making the wrong one and getting blamed for anything bad that happens.

No need for any more stress because with TravelHERO.com, an online website, you don’t need to search from one place to another or haggle with the travel agency for good rates for hotels or car rentals. My next trip to San Francisco for a wedding is going to be a breeze because the various San Francisco hotels that I am looking at is narrowed down for me at TravelHERO.com. You can check the availability and book your trip online immediately. Need flight arrangement or a car for sightseeing? TravelHERO can help. And going beyond and above their call of duty they can even recommend local attractions and those that you must see and eat while you are traveling.

Working The System

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing, The Other Half, This Town - Mama BoK @ 1:47 am

I’m not self righteous nor am I an angel.. but somethings.. you just don’t do. Owning a store .. for more than 8.5 yrs.. we see all sorts of people coming in to return broken goods.. or after using them during a party or a weekend. I think we pretty much seen everything.. and every excuses and reason they can come up with.

Some ppl think that we are a complete sucker.. and by doing something as dishonest as returning broken goods wouldn’t cost us money.. because it is the store.. and not us personally. They cannot be more wrong and further from the truth. The store is us.. and we are the store.. whatever we lose affects us directly.

So when i called up .. to let the local grocery store know that they had overcharged us for something.. but in fact .. it was me .. who got it wrong.. and i could have gotten away with it.. and getting a refund.. i can’t do that.. because that is being dishonest.. and like the man said.. and rolled his eyes.. “you are gonna get someone fired” but nope.. like i said.. we can’t do that..! how can you eat stuff that was stolen right..? The moral of the story..?? Are you ethical..?? or honest enough to yourself.. and answerable..?

A Perfect Credit Card

Filed under: Useful Links 101 - Mama BoK @ 1:34 am

Credit cards are being offered by just about every bank and any financial institution, in fact they even have joint promotions with your favorite shop or mall just to get anyone to apply for them. It was a great thing once upon a time when one is younger .. and the fascination of having several cards was a novelty but as one grows older and more responsible, you know you only need at the most 2 credit cards. But with so many in the market, who and what do you choose.

Finding the right credit card is important because one has to consider what you are actually using it for and what a credit card can offer to you. Comparing credit cards and doing your little research is very important. Credit Card Applications that can be instantly approved these days but what if you have a not so good credit..?? If so, you should look into a bad credit credit card, especially designed for people who have had trouble managing their money before. Whether you would like a credit card with airmiles or lower interest or fixed interest or even one that has cash back rewards, GettingACreditCard.com is your one stop online credit card resource.

My hair has been thinning since I had my daughter, I have no idea why .. but there are loads of theory.. and remedy that i was recommended to. And trust me.. i try everything that I can, afterall losing your crowning glory is certainly no fun.

If one can stop hair loss and restore your hair the natural way and it works, I would definitely jumped onto it.. and try it out. Los Angeles hair loss at Aventi Laser Hair Therapy offers men and women a clinically proven method of restoring hair. Or for those who just want to revive their hair, you have to check them out.

What’s Your Perception

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, Family/From the Heart - Mama BoK @ 1:19 am

Photobucket

It is funny how people would jumped in defense without really looking deeper into a situation .. or the blogging material and am so ready to wear an armor and defend their own kind. I was once upon a time this way too.. but not anymore… i always take at least a day.. to soak and decipher before acting on stuff now. Maybe i’m getting old eh.

It took me a few days to pen down my thoughts about the post about Asians marrying the “whites” and what exactly was on their mind. Maybe I worded it wrongly .. but my concern was the young Asian women out there .. coming here with hopes and dreams that may not come true. Marrying a foreigner is not your regular fairy-tale, Cinderalla story, some may not find your Prince.

As Girlie from HipnCoolMomma had pointed out that there are many successful union.. of the younger Asian gals.. and the older “white” man… and I’ve no doubt about it. C’mon.. i too am married to one.. and I too have a somewhat successful union (i would like to think).

This is not targeted to just the Filipinas .. but seeing a cousin advertising for her younger cousin of 20 yrs of age, sorta irks me. Maybe it’s the way it was worded..?? maybe because she is a beautiful young lady, maybe because I’m someone who marry a “white”. But life is hard in a foreign country. I cannot speak for others.. but i sure miss home like hell. In retrospect, I am very lucky and blessed to have met a good man.. who didn’t beat me up.. or grope me in public.. or swear at me.. or who is a drinker.. nor a gambler.. or someone who expects me to have a kid every year so we can all collect welfare. Basically, I didn’t get a monster for a spouse but what about those who “might” not meet the right guy ..??

Asian Women On American Men

Filed under: Amusing/Musing - Mama BoK @ 6:36 am

I’ve noticed a huge community of Filipino’s ladies marrying the American or Canadian men and i read in one blog about how this nice Filipino woman was looking to introduce to her cousin a good man from the West. I’m sure her intentions are good .. and everything nice.. but I’ve also seen some who are married to alot older man than they themselves are.

I do wonder many a times.. if it was really for love..?? or a passport outta poverty…?? I, myself am married to a white man.. and I’m very sure.. that most Asians agree with me.. that it is not a bed of roses.. nor paradise on earth. I know when PB and I got together.. the white women here.. weren’t too pleased.. because I snagged one of the eligible bachelor in town. Some were quite hostile too. On top of all .. the weather.. is harsh every year on me… and i resent Winter time.. in fact i hate it with a passion.

Shouldn’t one marry for love.. and not for looks.. and educational background.. or financial background..?? Is a union so filmsy.. that you just jump onto the bandwagon .. at the first sight of a white man..?? Is there really true love..?? i see some really odd couples on the net.. and I do wonder. Maybe someone can enlighten me.. from the Filipino community..?? I have a real life example in PB’s family. But that would be another story for another day.

Cutting Back - School Readiness Program

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 5:44 am

Photobucket

It is things like these that drives me nuts..!! and it gets me all fumed up.. and wanting to shake some ppl up. Parents Place in Y-Town.. is a place where they have programs to prepare our kids for school this coming fall, and because of the short of funding. .instead of 2 weeks.. of this program. .they are cutting it back to one.

On top of it, this year.. there will be a surge of students entering Grade Primary because of the new rule that children turning 5 by 31 December 2008, is allowed to enter school this fall. With the lack of funding, that would mean that there will be less teachers and more children in each class.

Yet.. the town can spend millions of dollars for different things that ain’t important..!! where’s the help.. these ppl should be getting..?? what about my kid..?? the welfare of my kid..??? It is infuriating.. and disappointing. Parents Place is a non-profit organization .. a place where our children, our future .. is being looked after.. and trained.. and helped. I hope against all hope .. that parents who will have children attending school for the first time this fall, will come forward to help. I am .. are you ..??

The Man & Pap Smear

Filed under: Health, Random Ranting, The Other Half - Mama BoK @ 3:38 am

What do men know about Pap Smear??? Asked 10 men.. and they vaguely know what needs to be done when the wife or g/f needs one. Does your man know what you have to go thru’ when you go for your Pap Smear…?? why do woman like me hate to do our yearly pap smear.. but must do it .. because it is like “required” by the health law book.

Then the man asked how come I don’t do my Pap smear .. instead of telling the gynae otherwise..?? It was because i didn’t get to shower before going to the doc’s office. So you all tell me lah.. would you take a pap smear.. ?? if you didn’t shower..?? Honestly..?? i can’t do it..!! can you …??

I love my kitchen alot and that’s because I spend alot of time in it cooking up home cook food for my brat. I really try to make her 3 solid meals from home.. and even though i bring her to work with me, food is packed. I’m so proud of my kitchen because even the kichen cabinet knobs are specially ordered to blend with the rest of the house. PB said i am kitchen crazy .. but can you blame me.. when i had a state of the art kitchen back home..?? How many of you .. go kitchen crazy like me..?? and buy all sorts of knick knacks.. to make a theme outta your kitchen.

Fibroids Update

Just a quick update to let everyone know that I’ve seen “God” - the gynae and after a good long talk .. I have decided the best way to treat my fibroids is to remove it. An operation will be scheduled shortly and I shall update everyone as soon as i get the date. I’m preparing for my stay in the hospital and one of the things that I told PB i must have is a laptop when I stay in the hospital .. or if they don’t have internet connection, I need to bring the portable dvd that we have in the store else I would really be bored.

Male Hair Loss

Filed under: Health, Useful Links 101 - Mama BoK @ 12:07 pm

If you think that woman folks are the only one suffering from hair loss and they are embarrassed by it.. well you are wrong. I know of plenty of men who are losing their hair.. and covering it up by wearing a cap all the time. It is definitely no fun losing your hair.. whether you are a male or female.

Fortunately, hair loss treatment such as procerin an all natural supplement is available without prescription. It comes in a form of a tablet and topical solution and can be used daily for treatment. There are many causes for hair loss and by taking Procerin it reverses hair loss in men. I would try it.. wouldn’t you ..??

The Price of Being A Boss

Everyone thinks that being your own boss or owning your own store is easy and wonderful. Let me tell you it isn’t at all. Like my neighbour said, you have so much money one day from sales.. but you also gotta spend that much on taxes and payroll. Franchise opportunity are great but alot of sacrifices is called for when you want to be your own boss.

Yes.. ! you heard me right..! i never buy anything .. unless they are at 50% discount. El cheapo..?? yes..!

Picking Flowers On Mother’s Day

We won’t buy flowers on occasions like this .. because they are way too expensive. So the mother-in-law allowed the brat to pick some flowers for me.. just before we left for home. But she needs 2 of course.. instead of just one.. because one is for herself… muahahahah!!

She didn’t know how to break the tulips.. so grampie came over to help her pick two of them.

Home Furnishing

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Home Furnishing - Mama BoK @ 10:52 pm

Decorating and furnishing the house is what we woman do best. We are always up to something, and by simply changing the window blinds or curtains one can make a room look completely different and set an entirely different ambiance to fit your needs. As for the man in the house, he doesn’t really care as long as we are happy with whatever we buy.

When comparing curtains versus vertical blinds, both does a great job but if I was looking for blinds I would want to definitely choose a reputable company to order from. One that can customize the size for me since our home windows are quite huge. Vertical blinds work great when you have a patio door to cover up and ordering the one I want online is easy too. JustBlinds is not only the largest independent window covering retailer in USA, they offer a 30 days satisfaction guarantee on all their blinds. They do free shipping and give out free samples to their customers, which is simply awesome, that way i don’t have to window shop in order to buy the right blinds.

Yes.. !! i have an appointment with “God” later at noon. I was surprised to receive a call from his secretary . .but apparently. .she had tried calling me at the store in the mornings. But i’m sure we have the message thingie on our store’s phone . .and the message does say we are only opened for business at noon.

Oh well..! at least i get to see him .. and i expect .. i’ll have to wait for an hour or two maybe.. to REALLY get to see him. Wish me luck.. my “GOD” is my gynecologist. Yes.. it is harder to get an appointment to see my gynae than to really see God himself.

Happy Mother’s Day

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, Family/From the Heart - Mama BoK @ 1:29 pm

Photobucket

Being a mother is not easy..! Tell me about it..! 4 yrs into Motherhood.. and i’m still blur, blur.. and still very panicky. Being a good mother requires alot of help. The man, the in-laws, the babysitter - Keegan, the godmother.. and everyone around us plays a very important part in making me a good mother. Without them, I wouldn’t have kept my sanity. The juggling.. the struggling and the housekeeping can certainly make anyone crazy, and I’m sure you can relate with me… when I tell you .. how many times.. we are closed to losing it.. and wanting to scream. Well.. maybe, I’m more dramatic.

Motherhood is very trying..! there is absolutely no free time.. for us, if there is.. we already have a million things we need to follow up on. Ultimately, we all know that motherhood comes with alot of responsibilities. Some cope well with it .. because they love their children more than themselves.. while others.. well.. lets just say .. they didn’t get as much help as you and I did. Whatever the reason/s .. whatever the struggle .. I know that you and I would never change it for anything. Ultimately… seeing my child hug and squeeze her Papa & me . .makes it all worthwhile. If I had to turn the clock back.. i wouldn’t have it any other ways.

To all mothers out there in the blogosphere.. I salute you all.. because Motherhood is darn tough..!! but we all survived.. and will continue to love being a Mother..! because we love our kids..! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY..!!

Blinds or Curtains..??

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Home Furnishing, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 1:24 pm

I’m sure you all know that i love to decorate my house .. and am trying to make it look presentable.. that way I can entertain friends and family. Summer is the best time.. i think to do BBQs.. and I really want a family gathering. We were quite undecided whether to stick to blinds
or curtains for our windows.. because the curtains sold here didn’t have the right sizes we want. To specially order them would cost us a small fortune. In the end we decided to only dress one room at the time. What about you ..?? you have blinds or curtains..??

Going for a vacation or a work trip to another province is what my daughter’s Godma do all the time. She works for a big food company in Canada. By using Car Hire, she gets to compare the best price where she can hire a car at reasonable rate. But you don’t have to be in Canada to use this search engine.. because they have information on car hire all over the world. Need to hire a car..?? make sure you check car hire out first.

Keegan’s Lil’ Helper

Whenever I am home alone with Chloe and start cooking for her dinner.. she would asked to help me cut the corns. Most of her meals has got corn in it.. because she loves it. Of course i would say “no” in which her reply was . .that Keegan would let her cut the corn up. I didn’t think too, too much of it.. thinking that Keegan must have given her something plastic to play with.. to cut the corn up.

Photobucket

Guess i was wrong.. and wasn’t paying too, too much attention to what the brat had to say. See.. she was really cutting up some corns.. with a butter knife. And Keegan was watching over her. And the brat was very serious about doing her job right too.

And doing a darn good job too..!

Wine Racks As Gifts

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 12:16 am

When I first arrived in Canada.. it was during Christmas time.. and i can still vividly remembered till today.. that the first gift i bought for my spouse’s cousin for Christmas and for her hospitality towards me.. during my visit .. was a Wine Rack for her bar at the basement of her house in Brampton, Ontario.Wine Rack are actually the best gift that you can give to anyone .. on any occasion. And if you are like me.. who have a bit of wine every now and then.. and have a decent wine collection in the basement, you would need a wine rack to show them off.. when you have friends or relatives over right.

And now that i’ve found an online store that carries wine racks at an affordable prices, plus ships nationwide.. i fret no more.. when it comes to a special occasion/gifts. And i don’t have to lug any heavy wine racks through customs anymore, if i order from The Vine Store. Don’t you just love the convenience..?? The Vine Store carries the finest wine rack and have a wide range for you to choose from. Their wine racks are in different wine bottle sizes to fit both your home and business wine storage. Once again.. i cannot stressed enough . . on how affordable it is. All products are with a 100% satisfaction guarantee..!

Malaysian Bloggers Making An Impact

Filed under: Blog News, Amusing/Musing, Around The World - Mama BoK @ 12:05 am

The Malaysian Bloggers are making such an impact in Malaysia.. that I am in awe of them. Bloggers in Malaysia are passionate.. about a cause. Be it political or for food .. or just covering events .. or stating their claim in a particular part of their life, they are doing it at full force. No .. we don’t really see such fervent enthusiasm here, in fact when i was asking an owner in town to do an article about his store for my traveling blog, he had asked the man.. what a blog is.

There are a few younger people i know that has a blog but they are not doing anything the way the Malaysian bloggers are doing or anywheres near it. I do feel a tinge of sadness .. when i do get to talk to them, for most keep a blog to show their partying weekends.. and how they managed to knock themselves out in the toilet bowl. What is the mentality of the bloggers here and the mentality in Malaysia/Asia…?? is it because in Asia.. we have to fight for everything . .and here we donch have to..??? because it’s laid out in a serving plate for those who wants to take it..?? Can I make a difference..?? me one person .. ?? We need more Malaysians here.. !!

Paris! Paris!

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Vacations/Travel - Mama BoK @ 12:00 am

Paris is the most romantic place one can go for a vacation. Anyone who talks about Paris thinks about the Eiffel Tower but they are right if you do go to Paris, you have to tour the Eiffel Tower not only the morning but once at night too. The spectacular view is not only breath-taking it is the most historical thing one can do with your loved ones. Be it the whole family or just your spouse.

There are way too many things to do in Paris and too many places that one must not missed. Tours in Paris can be arranged with the most reputable tour company, Isango. One can soak in the culture and save lots of time by using a experienced tour guide. You also get to beat the queue.. at certain places of interest and never be disappointed that you might missed out on something you had already planned to do.

Vacationing in Paris is a must for all romantic souls, be it your honeymoon, or just a wedding anniversary to spark that love life of yours again. Paris brings out the best in anyone and by leaving the arrangements with the professional, you know that you will leave with the most memorable and valuable stories to tell your grandchildren.

My in-laws are very outdoorsy people .. and so is Richard my brother-in-law.. but PB and I donch get to do alot of outdoor stuff.. because we have a business to look after (that’s our excuse .. and we are sticking by it). Although we are not the outdoorsy type.. we hope to let Chloe try everything we can get her to. But chloe being chloe.. she is afraid of everything.. and wouldn’t even go into the canoe. .even though it wasn’t in the water during the weekend.

The First Impression Counts

Filed under: Health, Useful Links 101, Beauty, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 11:43 pm

Living in a small town like here and owning a business.. you kind of get to know just about everybody in town. We don’t have very many big offices in town.. nor huge corporation or even representative offices here. We do have a call center here that had been doing great stuff for the people in this town, like opening jobs in various department and different areas.

Some gets hired on . .and some don’t. The reasons are pretty obvious… yet they don’t really know. You see in any interview.. the first impression counts .. and as far as I can see it.. some younger people just don’t know how to boost their image .. nor sell themselves. When I do get a customer who comes in dejected and wonder why he didn’t get the job when he was more qualified, I asked him to try a simple make-over, like taking care of one’s body ordour and skin care regiment that can make one look alot more presentable.

Of course like any man, they feel that putting on perfume and cleansing and exfoliating the face is a girl thing. So i recommended them to this range of product BOSS, BOSS FRAGRANCES, BOSS-FRAGRANCES, HUGO BOSS, prestige, fragrance, BOSS Bottled, BOSS Selection, BOSS femme, BOSS In Motion, BOSS In Motion Edition, BOSS Intense, BOSS Woman, essence de femme, BOSS Soul , which is suitable for both man, woman and teenagers. Afterall the brand BOSS is not girly at all and they do not have to worry about getting teased about it. But of course, I also warned them not to pour the whole bottle of perfume on themselves.. when they are going for the next interview.

The New Relationship & The Old

I was watching a chinese movie just now.. and saw how the couple was snuggling up to each other.. and thought about my own relationship. You know in the beginning of a new relationship.. we snuggle up with our ex-b/fs .. or ex-husband.. or the present one.. so tightly .. and cannot let go. Sleep also must hold hands type..?? You remember those days..?? And after many years.. if one has got no kids.. still snuggle abit lah.. !! but once we have kids.. aiyoh..!! cannot wait to go to bed.. and snore quickly.

Now donch you think “ang mohs” are any different ok..!!! what you see on movies. .and tvs.. are not exactly true lah..! maybe there are couples who are loving and snuggly still after having a few kids.. but how many can say.. they are still feeling the same when they first met their spouse..?? Honestly you tell me.. and share notes ??

Good in-laws are very important to your relationship to your other half. Why do i say that..?? because all women loves to complain. Now.. now..! donch tell me you donch..! I complained alot.. if i am upset.. when something does happen to the brat because I am upset.. and can get very emotional.

And you see .. i would MSN my in-laws.. and tell them .. what is going on.. and in the meantime.. i would be going on a rant..! Yes.. literally .. a rant. But my in-laws.. especially my MIL .. she NEVER patronized me.. she just agree with me.. without trashing my other half. And let me go on and on .. for hours. And neither does she repeat what i said to her to the other half.. thus never causing a friction in between us. I’m seriously wondering if it makes a difference..with having an “ang moh” in laws. Had i married an asian..?? would it still be the same..??? What do you think..??

Afteall, the dining room is going to waste.. coz’ we only at there once.

While other kids run wild and screaming or some even crying and thumping the floors for candies not bought for them., and calling their parents name, the brat went to find a book .. and was looking at it.. and reading it. She never asked for presents.. or to buy anything .. unless she was told that we were going out to buy her something.

Photobucket

She wouldn’t destroy the book either.. and she would just flip it thru’ and sometimes asked you to read to her. She would asked if she can buy it .. and when you tell her.. it doesn’t have a red tag.. she wouldn’t fuss at all.

At the end of the trip.. she would put the story book back where she found it. .and leave with us.. no fuss.. nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. We sure lucked in on this behavior.

For those of you .. who’ve noticed and liked the new theme of my blog.. which i never thought anyone can help.. because this is blogsome, I have one person to thank. .and that is Heather from Goofy Girl Design. Actually, I saw Goofy Girl’s work on other blogs .. and I went ahead and contacted her.

Donch you think she did a great job..?? and not only that.. it wasn’t expensive either.. and she was very accommodating… and did alot of extra work for me. A week after contacting Goofy Girl.. everything was done.. she uploaded the theme for me.. and worked with me.. for another few days.. to make sure i was ok. .with the colors and fonts.. etc. Unlike Blogspot… Blogsome needed her to do stuff manually and from scratch.. and she didn’t asked for extras for those things done. What an awesome person!!!

Heather .. is not your ordinary Goofy Girl.. ! she is a future doctor. And she is absolutely nice..! and humble..! So if you liked what you see.. and want her to revamp your blog.. contact her directly. I know she is accepting jobs for the month of May..!
