Baby Shower Gifts

I was reading an article a week ago about parenting advice. It is very interesting especially for new moms who struggle in choosing the right baby gear to buy, the healthy products to use, how to handle kids tantrums and more.

My sister told me that her pretty daughter is already showing her own preference when it comes to clothes to wear. They ordered a costume to wear for an activity and the little princess doesn't like one of the accessories that come with it. She has grown up fast and that's a good sign that she is smart and she has her own choice of fashion.

Anyway, my friend and I went to a baby clothing store to shop for a baby blanket and sleep wear. There is a baby shower coming up and the mom-to-be requested for sleep wear and loves receiving blanket as a gift. It is nice to give gifts to someone who needed the product. Since she requested what gifts she wants, shopping is easy because I know what to buy for her. I choose light pink and light yellow colors which are the favorite colors of mom-to be. We are all excited for the baby shower this Sunday.

American Idol: I Voted for Jessica Sanchez

Standing ovation by the 3 judges! "Jessica Sanchez is legit!" says, Randy Jackson! I couldn't help but smile! I have the reason to watch the American Idol 2012! When judge Steven Tyler was asked by Ryan Seacrest on who got the stand out performance for the night, he mentioned Jessica Sanchez first and the second....Jessica Sanchez! If you missed the #AI episode few hours ago, here she is, singing "I Will Always Love You", "one of the hardest songs in the world to sing", says Randy:

"You, not only the best vocal of the night but, I think you are one of the best singers in this whole competition! Oh my GOD! ...one of the best talents in the whole country...", words spoken by Randy Jackson. Jennifer Lopez was speechless and Steven Tyler said, "You may be the one!"

She is in the Top 13 of American Idol and if YOU will vote for her, she could win in this competition! Her mother is a Filipino from Bataan and her father is Mexican-American hailed from Texas. I am hoping that her confidence on stage will always be like what she had tonight. I will pray that she can always deliver a 100% performance every episode. I wish that she will win the American Idol 2012 but, if she is not destined, I am always proud of her! Mabuhay ka Kababayan!

Where to Find Technical Translators

I was watching the news an hour ago and saw a segment that numerous companies are hiring people for technical jobs. Wow! If I could only turn back the time, I would take the IT course. In this generation that we have right now, graduate in IT's are in demand. They are the smart people in the technical world. Just the other day, our phone quit working for no apparent reason. We called the phone company and we were directed to the person in-charge for technical issues. When my husband explained the sound emanating from the phone, the representative knows the problem right away! With few touches in his computer, the dial tone of our phone came back to life! How cool is that?

Our generation needs IT experts and technical translators because without them, we will be in limbo when technical problem arises. They know what to do and they can translate technical documents. The numbers and codes are the forte of technical translation service. If you are looking for a technical translation agency, you might check out the links here. The head quarter of this technical translation company is in London. But, if you visit the Website, they have phone numbers listed or you can email them directly if you have questions.

Planting Vegetables in Pots

Oh! Look at the tomatoes! Two weeks ago, we bought 4 flower-bearing tomatoes and for few days, it's getting bigger. I think hubby misses his dad. We went to Walmart two weeks ago and started looking for tomatoes and bokchoy plants. He bought a good size containers, potting soil and every day, he water the plants. As I look at the pots today, oh the bokchoy has grown and so healthy!In Mississippi, his father had a huge yard. We mow the lawn, plant some flowers and grow vegetables at the back area of the house.The three of us loves gardening. In fact, I have written and shared some photos of our daily garden activities in this blog. When he died, the family sold the property. But, last month when we visited Mississippi for Mardi Gras, we drove to the street and look at the house. We missed him!We have a Florida room which is a screened-porch and hubby allotted one corner for his gardening. I remember the last time, he was able to harvest tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and yellow squash. At least, he got something to do here too.

Life is Great

I have a niece back home and she is 3 years old. Her parents were discussing about sending her to school. But, private schools are expensive for parents with minimum wage earnings. Probably they will wait for nursery. I talked to my mother last night that is why I know about it. Education is really important and I am happy that my cousins are considering the thought of early schooling for their daughter.My mother is a single parent working in one of the movie theaters in our city. As far as I remember, I grew up playing in the facade of the movie theater like the picture above. Since it was located along the busy streets, I would sit in one corner or at the bottom of the stairs with a book on my lap and just copy the plate number of the passing motor vehicles. That's how I learn Math LOL. I learn to count money when I helped my mother in the canteen of the movie theater. You know how busy it is when people buys snacks after every movie right? Well, during those years, the movie has a double.

Anyway, it's nice to remember the memories of our younger days. I enrolled for first grade skipping the nursery and kindergarten. I had no problem with writing and reading. I am an average student. Between my brother and I, he is the intelligent. He always got medals. My mother and I were laughing the whole time when we recall those days. She remember that I love wearing shorts and T-shirts, that I cry all the time when I have my haircut, and that I hated wearing dress. Our life is hard and we struggled to meet ends meet but, my mother managed to send us to school. In fact, to a university. Both my brother and I were able to finish college and we have a degree from a prestigious school in the country! Life is great because God is good to us and we rely on Him the whole time.

Star Tours Attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios

The Star Tours is located at the Backlot area in Disney World's Hollywood Studios. I was already trying to detour when I saw this warning sign. But, I was curious so, Hubby and I went in to try this ride. If you have health problems, you should not try this. I have slight motion sickness so, this ride bothers me. I was able to pull it through but, I closed my eyes the whole time LOL. If you like adrenalin rush rides, this is for you!The picture below is C-3PO, a Human Cyborg Relations that assists the passengers for the Star Tours Space lines.This attraction is always jam-packed so; if you are caught with a 30-minute wait time, just take the fast pass and come back on the time stated in the pass then, you'll get through right away. It saves you time.Here we are heading to the gate of Star Tours boarding gate.If you are at the gate and decided to skip the ride, ask the Disney cast assistance and you will be directed to the exit.My husband loves the ride and he wanted to do it again. This ride did not bother me because it is a simulator so turbulent though. The 3D screen bothers my eyes. It glides among the trees, to a desert sand, lakes and even a city planet. It's really crazy LOL!

Cool Baby Hats as a Birthday Gift

Two days ago, my husband and I went shopping to buy birthday gifts for our niece. She loves receiving clothing gifts and not interested with toys because she had plenty. She particularly requested shoes, belts, baby hats and clips. Oh, she is an adorable three years old who just loves toddler hat. She had cool baby hats with knitted and crochet designs. I like the big flower design which she wore when we met at the park a week ago. It's spring time soon so, we are looking for a hat that she could wear next month.

It's amazing that children can say what they really want to have which is really good. Sometimes, parents are the ones asking for what kind of gifts they want their kids to have. But, with my niece she was telling us upfront so; how can we say no to her right?

I was checking online and I had seen a lot of beautiful designs. We already bought one hat for her but; we are thinking to add another item. Her birthday will be on Sunday so; it will get to her just in time. It's a good birthday gift considering it's really affordable compared to other items so; we are happy and the birthday girl is too.

Test Track Ride Experience at Epcot Disney World

I am not afraid of heights and speed but, I hate the rides with a sudden drop! I will definitely get sick after taking any fast rides. But last week, it's hard to say no to my niece. She successfully convinced me to ride the Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom and last Friday, she again used her wit and charm.Upon reading this warning sign, I was already looking for an exit door, LOL!The car is machine operated and it can accommodate 6 passengers. We were seated at the back and our niece sits at the middle. This attraction is one of the longest and fast rides of Disney. It undergoes safety and quality tests the way General Motors performs. I love this ride so far and luckily, I never sick after, Yayyy...that's accomplishment for me. Disney takes pictures of all the passengers to capture the thrilling moment. Below is our picture on the monitor but, it's not clear as I took a photo using my phone.The picture below is the Industrial design of the interior of Test Track Attraction. Waiting line is long but, it's worth the wait.Test Track is a thrilling ride which ascend in steep terrain, sometimes loose downhill, zooming across the bumpy road, roaring 50-degrees bank curve, and at the speed only max out 60 mi/hr. So far, this ride is extreme but, I manage to ride in it.

Mickey Mouse Playing the Soccer Ball Tattoo

She is a soccer ball player in her school so; she was so delighted to see this.It's about $6 and she likes it. Then, she bought a Goofy hat and found the character in the park. Her mom took a picture of her and Goofy.
