This must be one of the reasons .. why i fell in love with PB ..?? yes.. he takes care of Chloe’s every need.. when i can’t. From bathing her.. to cooking for her.. and washing her bottles.. or changing her diapers.. and wiping her poopie. Chloe is definitely blessed.. coz’ i never had a papa that was so good to me. Love is not blind .. because it was PB’s caring nature.. and non dramatic nature that i fell in love with.

Lost Child

Filed under: Useful Links 101 - Mama BoK @ 7:55 pm

If you think that this can not happen to you or that it only happens to your neighbor’s child or some faraway country or someone who has crazy parents at home, then you are wrong. Parental abduction is not something you would expect your spouse to do but it can happen for various reasons that we cannot even begin to explain. When something like that does happen, you will need to take immediate action, do not procrastinate! Whether it is parental abduction or a lost child, you have to do something immediately with someone who knows what they are doing.

Child Recovery International is a professional investigation and intelligence agency that specializes in missing children. They have recovered more than 600 missing children over the years and every single person working for them is highly trained and can sympathize with you and what you are going through. Their response time is immediate, they work with you until your child is found and can be contacted 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Whether you are in the States or in another part of the world, they have been known as frequent consultants and criminal profilers in foreign operations to help recover or locate missing children and people. I hear that their analysis and predictions were found to be near perfect. If you are desperate to find your loved one or know of someone who has a missing child, Child Recovery International is only a phone call away.

What About The Asian Bloggers..??

Filed under: Blog News - Mama BoK @ 12:43 am

A few months ago .. there was a town hall meeting with Ted Murphy to catch up on things. In the meeting I had asked Ted Murphy a few questions. Below is what I had asked.. for the Asian community and the Asian bloggers. The whole transcript can be found here.

Mama BoK: Ted, I’m very concern about no available opps .. for the asian community.. some resort to putting their addresses in australia.. just to get opps.. ??? Is the asian market dead..?? should we just tell asian bloggers to pack up..??
Ted Murphy: I don’t know about dead, but we surely don’t see as many asain focused advertisers as we do us focused advertisers. I know the internet is global, but advertisers tend to want to focus media buys.
Mama BoK: Ted, I know where you and the advertisers are coming from.. but we have many asian bloggers on PPP and I feel for them. Maybe some advertisers from Asia.. can help..??
Ted Murphy: Yes… if you can help us get them! : )

It has been a few months since the meeting.. and yes.. I’ve seen some opps for the Asian community but not really a lot. May I suggest, if you are an Asian blogger .. to please leave suggestions.. as to what can be done to help the Asian bloggers get more jobs.. on a more regular basis..?? Maybe someone can hook up Tim from Nuffnang with Ted Murphy from Izea. Maybe they can do something together..??

I find it awfully sad.. when an Asian blogger is so desperate as to lie and say that they are living in Australia or United States, just to get opps. Or worse.. some who are veteran bloggers.. but continue to hold opportunities by submitting them against the TOS. Perhaps you know someone who works for some big hotel chain or travel agency.. that can use Asian bloggers to advertise for them.. thru’ Izea or Social Spark..?? Perhaps you know of some legal firm .. who could use some advertising or word of mouth.. thru’ Izea or Social Spark..?? Perhaps.. My Mom’s Kitchen or Prima Taste can do a food tasting .. by our Asian Bloggers thru’ Izea or Social Spark..?? Perhaps you want to lend a helping hand to your fellow Asian bloggers..?? Any suggestions or follow thru’ I’m sure will help. Lets brain storm shall we..??

I Love Food Bloggers !

Filed under: Blog News, Amusing/Musing, Family/From the Heart - Mama BoK @ 2:56 pm

I most certainly do..!! Food bloggers are a group of really fun loving people..who loves good food.. or any kinda food.. and donch mind sharing it with you .. and you know what..??? they are not B.I.T.C.H.Y or SCHEMING..!!! (i donch have time for that) they just loved their food..! they are not into traffic.. they are not into trying to get into anyone’s good books.. they are not trying to get famous.. or into SEOs or SERPs, they just love their food.. and sharing it with you.

Because of all these food bloggers.. they inspire me to continue blogging about my love or my missing of food too. You will never see food bloggers bicker amongst each other .. nor about another food blog. They are definitely a different group of bloggers.. and you know what.. food blogger like Boolicious from masak-masak will even take care of you .. if you visit Kuala Lumpur and show you the food she loves best. Masak-masak and i come a long, long way. I started reading her blog way back in 2005 .. and never missed any of her updates. Which entry i loved best..?? it’s has gotta be .. the ones of Ramadan, they make me wanna come home each time. If you donch know by now.. i too have a food blog -IceCubeJunkie, but because of my recent surgery and because the brat is growing so fast.. i’m gonna experiment on baking cookies and cakes and desserts using organic stuff and less sugar, i might just start a new blog just for baking. If you love food.. check out .. masak-masak.. she is a veteran food blogger.

The Love Of My Life

It was all worth it.. the enduring of the pain..and the holding on.. and the moving to Canada… because without her.. life would have been meaningless. If i had to turn the clock back.. i wouldn’t have it any other way. Even though my fibroids grew so big after my pregnancy.. and i had to wait .. for her to be older.. before i had my operation.. and waiting also because i was afraid.. i may not see her grow up. It was all worth it.. because she is the Love Of My Life.

A Hair Wash & Cut

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Home Furnishing, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 3:04 am

I have an infection on my laporoscopic surgery .. and one of the wounds just wouldn’t heal properly. On antibiotics .. and was told not to shower.. but sponge bath instead. But what about my hair..?? The shower faucets in all our bathrooms are those that are non removable.. so i’ll have to stand inside the shower.. and get myself wet.. if i wanted to wash my hair. Luckily, we managed to get hold of my hair dresser .. and she took me in immediately. I had a hair cut.. and a great hair wash.. awesome..! felt so good after that.

This was taken on Sunday.. when we were out having lunch at Pizza Delight. A late lunch at that.. ! but the picture of PB is priceless.. !! because you rarely see him smile..!! well.. unless he was gaming with tubby.. (his friend forever type). Yes..! this is the face of the man.. i traveled thousands of miles from the other end of the world.. to be with in December 2000. A man who rarely talks alot.. nor smile alot, so when he is smiling like that. .one has gotta take a picture of him right..?? plus i take good pictures.. ! not like him.. taking fat pictures of me.. !!

A Career I Love

Filed under: Health, Useful Links 101 - Mama BoK @ 6:52 pm

If i could turn the clock back, i want to be a massage therapist. I kid you not! after having my first massage some 10 yrs ago in a spa, i truly wished there were more massage therapy schools back home. I would have definitely chosen this line of work.. and would have loved it.

Pictures Up

Filed under: Health, Family/From the Heart - Mama BoK @ 2:13 pm

For those who wants to see the pictures of my fibroids and uterus during my hysterectomy operation, you can head over to my health blog : DesperateHousecows. The said pictures are up.. but please be warned. .that if you do not have the stomach for blood, grossed looking things.. that can make you faint and puke.. please do not go over there. I have started to journal my journey to the operation and post op information. .for those who may have friends or family who might be having the same problem as I. That way.. with my information recorded.. they can see for themselves and be prepared for what may come.

Ready, Get Set, Go Program

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing, This Town - Mama BoK @ 3:31 am

For those who are not aware of this.. Chloe will be attending school this fall. We chose french immersion for her .. because we didn’t want her to go to the south end school.. where we heard the kids there are pretty rowdy. But this town has a program called “Ready, Get Set and Go” for all the kids who will be attending school for the first time. I would have volunteered to help in this program if it wasn’t because of my need to take time to heal from my operation. This program is free.. and because of the short of funding this year.. it will only be for 3 days instead of 5. I really cannot fathom the government here, this program is so important to the kids here. .yet they are willing to sting on it.. but would pay millions for a new building to house some old farts. Don’t even get me started..!

Skin Care & Acne

Filed under: Useful Links 101, Beauty - Mama BoK @ 11:08 pm

Seeing teenagers come into our store. .during their school lunch break is not uncommon. And being a teenager myself.. many years ago I know how awkward it was to be one.. and if one has an acne problem it gets even more difficult to blend in and not be made fun of.

A lot of theories and remedies for acne had been recommended to me. .when i was a teenager.. but you see .. some are not facts at all. If you have a loved one or a friend who has acne problems, tell them about acne.com. Here you will find articles on treatment and prevention and much more. Read up more on all things acne related, I know my daughter’s babysitter could definitely benefit from it.

Some Ppl Just Can’t Take Advice

Filed under: Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 7:35 pm

The man’s buddy was just in the other day.. and had said .. that his baby was colicky, so of course .. like any good and experienced parents/friend, we told him about grip water and oval drops. But nope.. apparently.. he thinks the baby isn’t uncomfortable and pain about it.. and that the baby doesn’t feel a thing.. and plus he had done EXTENSIVE research of it.

Ok.. buddy..!! no more dishing out advice to you .. that’s for sure..!! go ahead.. and torture your baby..! how silly can anyone get..?? to think that collicky baby don’t feel nothing..?? *slap forehead*

Summer Picnics

Filed under: Food Review, Useful Links 101, Shopping - Mama BoK @ 7:00 pm

Summer is definitely my favorite time of the year and what better way to celebrate summer than with BBQs and picnics in the park or at the beach. Now that the brat is no longer scared of the beach and the water by the seaside, we try and go as often as the weather permits. But like any outing or outdoorsy activities, packing a great picnic basket is very important. I try to choose carefully on what to bring for the whole family.

In my picnic basket.. I never fail to bring some cheese and crackers.. they are loved by both the kids and the adults. Of course some wine to go with our little picnic lunch will be great for the adults. For someone who loves food like I do I make sure to pack some gourmet food, to cater to everyone’s taste buds. After all you want to feed them well, right? Some lobster rolls for us.. and macaroons for dessert are a must. If you are planning a picnic for the whole family, you’ll have to shop at Dean and Deluca! they offer the best in service and food quality. And don’t forget their snacks on the run as well..! Nuts and chocolates… as well as jelly bean mixes… I bet everyone will love the picnics you have.

How Do You Know..? You Feel Better..??

Filed under: Health, Amusing/Musing, Beauty - Mama BoK @ 11:27 pm

You will know you feel better.. when you want to look pretty .. dressed up.. or like me.. wanna get my eyebrows done. Yes.. this was how i felt today.. after waking up. But you see .. i stretched myself a little bit too much.. by going shopping.. and also eating out. 3 hrs.. is a long time to be out.. so by the time .. i got home.. i was quite exhausted.. tummy not feeling too good. .from the food i ate.. and slept for an hour immediately.

But you know what.. ?? after the second emergency operation.. i listened to my body alot more.. and didn’t pushed myself so much anymore. I wanna get well soon.. but the only way to do it.. is not being stubborn. .and pushed myself.. to the limit. So yes.. wanting to look and feel pretty is the road to recovery .. i believed. What about you ..??
