My sister was here two nights ago. While playing with Vera, we asked her to count. Vera didn’t reply. My sister counted in German (Eins, zwei, drei…) then I realized that since I am teaching Vera how to count in English and Tagalog, I should also probably be teaching her how to count in Mandarin fookien. No, I’m not Chinese, hamey is. I’m 100% Filipina and hamey is 75% Chinese-25% Filipino. Hamey (or was it Marie) taught me how to count in Mandarin fookien when we were still in college. I can also write few Chinese characters before. Since I don’t have any practice, all I know is from 1 - 3. *grins*

I’ll update you more about this later. I need to prepare now. Have to attend to something. Wish me luck!

*Imagine that I’m smiling at you!

I love waking up in the morning seeing or hearing good news. Like just today, I woke up to find out that I have been approved in Smorty. This gives me another option to write opinions on advertisers’ site. Do blog for money? If not, you might want to start now. So let’s get paid for blogging, okay?

I have been successful with this but not as successful compared to my other blogging friends who were already able to afford a Louis Vuitton bag through their earned money through blogging. I am looking forward to that day. But I have set my mind on something else, I really want a new laptop! *grins*

Well anyway, I hope this means that today is going to be a good one for me. I still have something to look forward to this afternoon. I’ll tell you more about this if I get successful with it. Wish me luck!

I started having astigmatism when I was still in college. Maybe because I was almost always in front of the computer specially when cramming up for deadlines or solving logical problems. My eldest sister advised me to always wear my glasses since there is still a chance to correct my problem. It was really difficult at first specially when eating. I am uncomfortable seeing my frames. I don’t know if I chose the wrong pair or it is just me since I just have the problem while eating. *grins*

Anyway, true enough, my vision went 20/20 again. But now I think I had it back or worse. Now I have to look for another pair again. Good thing I had a Great Discovery: Zenni Optical. Zenni Optical: Sell Rx Glasses $8 with case! Again! $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx Eyeglasses! That’s PHP320.00 only! That is about 1/4 of the original price of my first pair of eyeglasses. Note that I had two!

I should have found about this when we were still in Michigan, at least shipping is way much cheaper compared if shipped here. Well, Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical! Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses, what a great choice!

Our dinner for tonight was stir-fried ampalaya (with shrimps). It was really bitter that all of us four (me, my mom, yaya G and yaya J) were not able to eat a lot. But to our surprise, Vera liked it. She ate it as if it was her favorite fries. We were really amazed how she liked the food. She even asks for more when she finished her first serving of ampalaya. Natalo kami ng one year old! (We were beaten by a one year old!)

I went on doing the adult style cake this afternoon which, sad to say, was a failed attempt. I actually got an accident as I got burnt with the molder and I tipped it over crashing the second cake (I made two layers). I did not make the chocolate gnache anymore since the cake was ruined.

So there, no picture for this one. *buhuhuhu* It’s going straight to our stomach. *grins*
