Oprah

tere — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:11:49 +0000

It has been a long while since I too time to watch Oprah but since I did not find anything interesting to watch and/or listen to on TV so I decided to stick to the Oprah Winfrey show for now at the Hallmark channel. The guest Oprah has today is Harry Connick Jr., the singer who loves Frank Sinatra songs. I remember him way back to the American Idol Season 9 Sinatra week. Well okay got to hop on to another show now since Oprah has just ended. Oh well it seems I tuned in quite too late! *wink*

Christmas in August

I would say it’s my way of saying it’s Christmas in August. I have been listening to some Christmas songs since this month of August has started. I just feel these songs relax and de-stress me more easily plus they make me feel happy and more positive! Today I have been listening to Amy Grant’s songs in her Christmas collection album. I love her version of Christmas songs!

Last night, on my way home from a friend’s advance birthday party, we passed by a delighful display of lighted and colorful Christmas lanterns along the road. It is still August yet they already started selling those lanterns here. The month of September, the first of the so-called BER months marks as the start of the long celebration of the Christmas season here in our country. It is just three weeks away. I am excited for the coming Christmas season! I am sure you are too!

Musical Reading

tere — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:15:51 +0000

Now here at school on offline mode. No wifi detected as of this time. Maybe since the school director is out of town at the moment. The lil boy was excused from school yesterday by his teacher when we called her hours before his scheduled class.

They already started with their musical reading session today. We could hear them from the waiting area where hubby and I are waiting. I told the teacher earlier if we could have him isolated for today from the other kids. But it seems he is just the first to arrive and there are four kids there now including our lil boy.

We’d like to look for that CD they are using for this musical reading session and maybe we could let the lil boy listen to this at home too to make him more familiar with it. Hopefully he would master it quickly. We have been making him listen to Brainy Baby and other educational videos for kids.

Lea Salonga’s My Grown Up Christmas List

I was actually listening to Amy Grant’s original version of My Grown Up Christmas List for the past three hours already when I saw my sister post a link to this YouTube video of Lea Salonga’s My Grown Up Christmas List version. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I simply love it and the message of this song.

Back to Sleep

tere — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:52:09 +0000

We were planning to go to mass around lunch time but the lil boy went back to sleep this morning when he woke up earlier than expected. He must have gotten bored watching the Nobody music video over and over again. He had fun dancing to it with his cousins last night that’s why his dad played the video on the TV in his room. After playing the video a few times over and over, when we checked on him he was already sound asleep. Dunno but the song must have lulled him back to sleep. LOL!

Nobody

And my son was having so much fun jumping and dancing to Nobody by the Wonder Girls when the music video of this was played tonight at my parent’s house when we went there for my mommy’s 65th birthday. He had funs dancing as well as playing with his cousins and they were almost complete except for my nephew who went back to UK a few days ago. Anyway, hubby is now looking for the music video of that song and hopefully the lil boy will still enjoy dancing to it again!

Cellphone

tere — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:06:18 +0000

Hubby promised me that when we receive the blessing by the end of this month, he would buy me a cellphone since I have decided not to repair my N70 which has been ‘laid to rest’ by our dear son as I would tell anyone wondering where my mobile phone was.

I am no longer updated with what’s new and what I want for a cellphone so I went online to search for cellular phones and found myself looking into The Source by the Circuit City. I checked on their Blackberry Smartphone and saw the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic which I used to like to buy long before. Bit what caught my attention there was the Samsung T456 Gravity wireless phone. It is said to be great for listening to music and surfing the internet when on the road. There is also a Sony Ericson CyberShot that I’m looking for.

Anyway, I’ll leave it to hubby by the end of the month on which he’ll decide for me. He is my ever loving tech support and he knows more on the features on the cellphones but I have already told him I need a mobile phone with basic features and probably if our budget allows, some other features like it can play MP3 and has a big MP camera. But these are just optional for me anyway.
