Hanukka

Not one of my families is may not be a Jewish but believe or not we lit Menorah

Candle. We celebrate Hanukkah every year.

Hanukkah known as the Festival of lights is an eight-day Jewish Holiday. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days. As tradition they lit candles and give presents with each other. My kids love it especially because they are getting special treats every night.

You may wonder why we celebrate Hanukkah. We celebrate Hanukkah it is because my husband used to go to a Jewish congregation. He wants the kids to open to any religion as long as they believe in God. But our main religion is Catholic.

Property rental Update

With today's economy you might think that buying a house are now cheaper.  It mught be but the problem now is getting approved for a loan.  This is why rental property is still on demand, they are still getting more and more tenants.  In the area where I leave at least 3 or 4 apartment complex.   I am one of those owners I have to update my entire apartment.  One of them is making sure I have cable competition like having to have 2 cable companies. As far as I know cable contractor and electrical contractorare busy working in one of this apartment complex.  They are already done with fiber optic installation.  Residents are patiently waiting for them finishing up the wiring and they can call cable company to get their subscription.  How smart it is for this apartment owner to have another cable company to be in their complex?

Big Mistakes

I was a bit disappointed with how my father is acting today.  One of my niece left a message in facebook showing no respect on my dad.  My dad might did something that she was not happy but it was enough that she will just call my dad by his name.  So to correct her;   I posted a comment no matter what happen he is still her grandfather her grandmother brother so please still show a little bit of respect.  i thought everything is find but my sister comment back and now my dad.  My dad will tell the whole world through facebook what kind of girl she is.  As the older person he should just ignore but instead try to make everything go bigger.  Sometimes I just wish my dad to grow up a little. 
Now I am thinking was it a big mistakes of me leaving a comment to this girl?

What I need in the Kitchen

When my husband I just get married I don’t know anything about cooking. I only know I am only good in eating. My husband was the first one who cooked our first meal. I was so proud of him. Being married and having kids challenge me a lot. Now I could say I know a lot of recipe that can think of. My mother was even surprise. Cooking is now one of my past time activities. I cook variety of foods. Cooking is easier if I have bigger kitchen and if I have special racks like spice racks where I can put my spices. Right now I place them in one of the cabinets. Keep telling my husband to buy me one kitchen spice racks; a wall spice racks is probably more fits on what I need. I hope this is one of what I will be getting this Christmas. What do you think?

Hate Winter

it is not yet officially winter but feels like it is.  So fricken cold today.  I have been sneezing, water eyes and stuffy nose this is because of cold.  I really not going to git rid of this cold.   I just need to take Vitamin C.  Inside the huse is also cold.  i don't want to put the heater too high not only that it will crank up my electric bills it worries me that it will dry my Christmas tree too early.  Whaaaat i need to do.  i better go hid in the bed and finish wrapping the presents. 

Are they lucky or what?

I remember when my husband and I went to my kids school for open house.  I was more excited compare to my kids.  It is not that I can’t wait for them to be in school but I am excited to learn the curriculum their school teaches them.  School in Philippines and here in US are very different.   I love the school here because kids have their own locker.  Leona got so excited when she found out that she would be having her own school locker.  I learn that when they get off from their school bus.  They will leave their backpack in their locker and just carry w/ them their folder to their classroom. I wish I have my own school locker especially a gym locker where I can leave all my gym stuff instead dragging them with to my class.  My kids are so fortunate or what?
