No Sun

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

It’s been raining on and off for the past week. There’s no question that no one needs their sexy swimwear because clearly the weather is not for swimming or getting a tan. The little girl and I weren’t able to go to the playground too. I just couldn’t risk letting her play when it looks like rain is going to fall any second. So I just keep her entertained with indoor activities. It’s not that easy because she gets bored after a while then we have to move on to another activity. I hope we get a sunny day soon.

Yay it’s Saturday!

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

It’s Saturday and that means family time. We usually start our day a bit late on weekends so right now daddy and the little girl are still in bed (I think the little girl is awake though but she’s pretending to sleep). We’ll have late breakfast too. Maybe I could talk to him later about commercial real estate and find out what he thinks about that. Today we’re going to a friend’s house and after that I’m meeting an online scrapbooking friend at my local scrapbook store, she’s from Indonesia and is only here until tomorrow. It should be fun.

Have a great weekend everyone!

What’s in a name

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

What Jacq Means


You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed… even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.
You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.
You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.
A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.

People see you as a complete enigma, and only you truly understand who you are.
You spend most of your time introspecting and seeking truth.
You’re a very interesting person… but not many people know you enough to realize it.

What’s Your Name’s Hidden Meaning?

 

Now overall I liked what my name means. I’m glad I didn’t read anything weird or just plain crazy like the mentioning of air tools. I would have typed my whole name but that would be a lot longer that this result so I just went with my nickname. It’s good enough anyway.

Power of Prayer

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

I got this from Aggie.
A very touching prayer passed on to me by Kelly.

Prayer for the MV Princess of the stars fatalities and survivors.

Dear God, we pray that you comfort each bereaved family everyday as they grieved for their loss, we pray that you will supply all their needs, we pray for the survivors that they may have a good life after the tragedy, that you will bless them and let them know in the deepest part of their heart that in spite of what have happened, you LOVE and CARE for them. This we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. I encourage everyone to keep the prayer going. LET’S P.U.S.H. (PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS).

We Prayed: 1. Through The Rain 2. God’s gift 3. The Adventures of Dong and Jing 4. Me, Myself and I 5. malditang bunso’s journal 6. Underneath It All 7. 100% Kelly 8. My Colorful World 9. InkBabyStudios 10. TheSaladCaper 12. MommyTalks 13. All About the Memories 14. Enchanted Play 15. I Am Mommy 16. Your Blog here.

Look at me I’m dancing

Look at me I’m dancing

Originally uploaded by iamjacq

Just a random video of the little girl dancing to a Barney song. As you can see she loves Barney (a lot). She would insist on watching Barney (as in nagrerequest) and would still be happy even if you play the same episode three times. She would laugh loud at certain scenes, it is really fun to watch her. She would sing along too, she’s learning a lot from that purple dinosaur so I’m not complaining.

A gift for me?

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

My husband asked me last night what would I want for a gift. I was puzzled because our anniversary was a few weeks ago, my birthday and mother’s day have been celebrated months ago so I have no clue why he was asking me for a gift I like. As it turns out he wants to give me something special for Christmas, I was laughing because it is still so many months away. It’s not like I would ask for a bvlgari watch that he needs to save up months before. Okay so maybe I will ask for a DSLR camera but still I think it was too early to ask for what I want for Christmas. Anyway I searched online to find websites for items that I would be glad to receive as a gift and I found one with beautiful timepieces from Choppard, Bvlgari, Cartier, Chronoswiss, Concord, Corum, DeWitt and many others. They offer beautiful jewelry too. I found a necklace and a watch that I really like. The site was very user friendly so I was able to browse the items they have with ease. The categories are broken in a sensible manner that you won’t get confuse when finding what you are looking for like a bracelet for instance. I hate when a website is difficult to navigate, it doesn’t manner if they have nice products if it is difficult to see them at a glance I won’t shop there.

No more pictures

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs


Yes mommy sometimes just can’t leave you alone. Usually you don’t mind me taking a lot of pictures but here it looks like you had enough. I think it was because you were watching”Marney” and you want to be left alone? Lol. She is indeed growing up and wants her space from time to time, oh my I’m talking about a toddler here. I hope I she’ll be at the phase where she’ll love to pose for the camera and I could take a lot of nice shots. I think she still look adorable though, and this is a scrap worthy photo as well. I wonder is she will change her mind about photos when I take here to the riverside?I should be uploading more photos to my flickr account too, I should put that on my to do list.
