Do you use any call recording equipment in your home? If not, then you may want to ask yourself if you need one. Because if you do, call recording products are available at marketcommunications.net! I've come across this page when I've read a note from the hubby saying that there's a law that's soon to take effect in our place where every household needs to have not only home security system but call recording systems as well. I still can't tell what its relevance going to be but I am sure that if a company has it, it helps a lot.

So if your company doesn't have call recording products or voice call loggers, you should check out the links I've got here to get acquainted with these important things that a company should have, especially the financial market and mission critical companies. IP recording equipment are available like IP PBX phone systems, turret systems, and cabling. If you have further inquiries and for more information, you can contact the Market Communications, LLC's experts for recommendations.

It's our third day here in the super hot and humid Philippines. Having lived in in the upper midwest of the US bordering the very Canada of North America for over four years now, I have been used to the awesome temperature of the summer and the bitterly cold winter. Now that we're here in the always hot Philippines, you can imagine how much of a hell it is for me and my daughter who has been sweating endlessly, especially during daytime. Adjustment is still unknown, but I hope and pray it will come so soon to my daughter because it is me who is having a hard time dealing with it.

But having stepped foot in my homeland is amazing and surely, a win! It's been a blast so far, and though only three days here, I feel like I've accomplished a lot already. I've started doing what I'm supposed to be projecting while here. It's great being with families and friends, however, me and the daughter badly missed our daddy who is all by himself in the wintry Wisconsin!

To update you with the latest, I wish I can share some photos. However, I am still on a dial-up connection right now so its a struggle to upload them plus I still have to resize them for quicker uploading. Next time, I'll try to share some glimpses of us. So far, so good. It's just the heat that's very disturbing but it can be tolerated. 

...i'm so ready to go!

The advent of the internet technology brought a lot of ways to finding something worthwhile in the world wide web. I, for one, am one of the millions of internet users benefiting from search engines as I usually do turn to these major internet search engines to find answers to my queries. But lo and behold, MyLife dot come does more than just answering my questions. MyLife.com literally tells me who among my friends and loved ones are searching for me and who among them as well is using the internet very frequently enabling me to find them if I'll only do the searching.

Well, check out search.mylife.com now and start typing in the very name of the person who you think is looking out for you or the name of the person you are interested in finding. Guess what, it worked great for me! A second degree nephew of mine (his dad is the son of my dad's sister), I have learned is now in Canada, working as an aeronautic engineer and MyLife.com is the very site that brought us together. Lester, (my second degree nephew who is five years older than me), discovered of me through a certain social networking site and when he saw my name there, he thought of finding me through MyLife.com and sure enough, our communication started to grow. Now, we talk and chat very often, and someday soon, it is our goal to see each other in person!

So, you think MyLife.com is relevant to you? Think about your genealogy and if you're wondering if you've got loved ones who might be searching for you, you can do your own search through MyLife.com. It's really worth it.

Our first ever Pinay friend here in Stevens Point is the one who painted this. It's pretty, is it not? I asked for her permission to post this here to give her some publicity. I think she deserves some. I even joked at her that she doesn't need to work outside anymore. She just have to paint and paint some more, and eventually sell what she has produced and she'll get rich! LOL. I must say it's an awesome talent of her to have drawn such kind of product! Seeing this, it sure paints a thousand words! Did you like it?

Isn't it amazing how time flies by so fast? It's been two weeks now since I last posted in this blog and though there has not been a lot of changes in me, still, I've got so much to share. As usual, I am still stuck here at home with my daughter while the hubby is so busy with his teaching job, but the time I've spent bonding with the little one is beyond compare. I see to it that we get to spend at least an hour learning academically together-- I am the teacher while she's the trying-hard student. I must say it's a perfect start for her, and now, she's been so good with the things that we want her to learn-- alphabets, numbers, shapes, songs, memory verses and reading habits.
 
Tomorrow will be the first day of October, and guess what, the beauty of Fall season has been felt and seen by us. It's our first Fall here in WI and I can say that the gorgeous colors of the trees here change earlier than in Illinois. Plus, there's been a lot of parks and reserves here for us to check out so we have options of how to enjoy the season nature wise. The problem though is that the temperature as dropped down intensely and it couldn't be bearable to go out just with a casual clothes on. With temperatures in the 30s and 40s daily, nah... it can't be. I need to pull out our winter wardrobes for real.

I first heard about the hottest Rehab Party at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas from my sister-in-law herself who lives in Las Vegas! She joked to me that she would bring me to one whenever I'll go visit them there soon. My innocence on what this Rehab Party is led me to watching an episode of truTV's Rehab and then, I understood what it's all about and why it's called the hottest party ever!

With scenes from sexy and super gorgeous women who are just in two-piece-bikinis, sure, it is the real thing in a hot party! I thought I am just contented with what I saw, I thought I couldn't be a part of such real life scenario as I don't have the guts to show off that much. LOL There are so much chaos going on and it seems like everyone is superstar in his/her status and I think my personality won't fit at all. Here, take a look at a clip that see for yourself how Rehab Party in Vegas strip is one hot of a fun:

Being a conservative individual that I was during my teenage life,I would fail to tell you what's the hottest party I've been to as I got nothing. Ours is the simplest and the absence of "party fouls" that there may be in hot parties but I don't regret it. I am fine with the simplest cocktail parties that I've been to with my friends and I think I've got so much memories to treasure. I don't live a wealthy life that's why so it's one of the reasons why I didn't have a luxurious and extravagant going-outs. Well, if hot parties like what Rehab is is in your line, then winning a chance to party like a rock star at Rehab at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino pool might be so in for you. If you're inetersted, you can enter by visiting this link. Don't delay then!

More than a week has past since my last update here and I ought to share a special post of how our weekend went.

Everything was appreciated and I hope you'll never waver till next year.

This time around, I'll share some glimpses of how little trek and hike that we did Saturday afternoon at Smeeckle Reserve here in town.

My niece-in-law Cyndi plays the piano. She is 15 years old now and she has been learning to play the piano ever since she was still 7-years old so you could imagine how much she is getting better and better. She also plays other musical instruments as she is an active member of their school band ever since and with that, sight reading music is one field that she likes to master within herself. The thing is, she has tends to develop a difficulty in reading the notes while she plays especially with the piano and I don't know why. Perhaps Yoke Wong's sightreadingtips.com can help. I'm gonna recommend this site for her that's for sure.

Meanwhile, do you know anyone who plays the piano and goes through the same dilemma which is the hindrance in sight reading music? Actually, my father-in-law is one that I could think of. His case is different though. You see, he plays the guitar very well but not using notes, instead, he plays it by ear. The same goes with how he plays the keyboard. He can accompany someone who sings just by listening. Quite a talent, huh? I think so! I have been a blessed daughter-in-law for many times because I've been able to sing at church with Pa-in-law's accompaniment. The only problem though is that when there are songs that we request of him to play using the piece with notes. That's when he feels reluctant to do the playing because of, like I've said, his difficulty with sight reading. Well, the course of Yoke Wong  called “Mastering The Art Of Piano Sight Reading” sounds great for him and for anyone else who wants to master the sight of reading music.

I love music. But as much as I do, I desire to play any musical instruments as well. The piano-- to play the piano is a dream for me. A dream that until now I haven't fulfilled. I would often get desperate and think that I don't have the chance any longer to learn how to play it but piano teachers that I encounter would tell me I still have the chance. Their words sure give me hope. However, this I must push through to give a realization in the right time: my daughter should be able to learn how to play the piano soon. She is only three years old now so she has a lot of time ahead of her. The good thing is, both me and the hubby are in the same level of desire for our daughter. We even want her to play the violin, the guitar, and some other musical instruments as well. But learning the piano comes first.

Right now, I am already introducing her into piano lessons that I find online. There are Free Sheet Music that I love going about at yokewong.net and the great stuff about this music sheet that I am talking  is that sight reading and music reading is one of the piano courses being offered and there are a lot more piano tutorials that you might find relevant for your path to successful piano learning. Online Piano Lessons are available, too so check out Yoke Wong's Sheet Music now!

As for my daughter, introducing her to music and musical instruments at a young age will be a big help in developing her love and passion for music. She's got toy instruments now and she loves watching shows that have a lot of music in it so I think it won't be that hard for us in the coming stages when she starts her real piano lesson. Meanwhile, yokewong.net is my constant partner in giving my own daughter a good start.

...is so good! Ah-huh, after almost three weeks of settling here in Stevens Point, I can say I am loving our simple life in our new home. Next week marks the start of the busy full time work of the hubby and that means it's going to be back to mom-daughter tandem daily here at home. I am starting to homeschool her with the basic academic skills that she needs to know already so it lessens our time to complain and whine of being bored. I still don't have my license yet so I won't be able to go around and drive. The library would have been a great option as well, unfortunately, it is impossible for us to go there by bus. Swithart worries for us being stuck here at home and I am like, "we're okay. We're used to this and we won't stay like this for long or forever!" so he is comforted by my bearing spirit.

Anyway, the weather here is starting to go low this week. YAY, gone are the hot days already and I am feeling like winter is pretty fast approaching! I might have to pull out our winter wardrobes because the temperature in the coming days will hit in the low 30s. How's that? Hmm... it's really going to be cold, but if me and Triz can go home to Philippines later this year, that's okay then. Swithart's going to be soloing the snowy months for the winter season. He he. Anyway, I'll share a pic of our complex.

Three days ago, we've left Illinois, our residence in the past eight years and moved here in Central Wisconsin for a brand new living. And you know what it is when one relocates, don't you? Well, new house, new furniture, new appliances, etc. Do those sound familiar and good to you? I bet! So the past three days of our lives have been fully spent on a new start of living in a brand new apartment with so many new things to enjoy. The hubby would often exclaim, "Just eat and shop? What a life!" And I would counter him, "What are you complaining about?" And he would said he's complaining of nothing. Ha ha ha. It sure sounds fun, isn't it?

So we've shopped for Lucky Brand! Well, I did, right after I we got our internet connection up. You see, I've skipped being online for five days and being on such status seemed to make my life so idle because even if we've shopped for so many things in the stores, I feel like online shopping is my most preferred way of getting the stuff that I need because I can choose as much as I can without the hubby's insistence. LOL And here I am again, starting off window shopping online for Lucky Brand clothing for men and women especially that we didn't get all of our clothes when we moved up here. They said moving will give one a fresh start and I am living up to such. Zappos brand rocks when it comes to clothing, shoes, and accessories and shopping online with a free shipping offer does give me the thrill most of all! Yesterday, we've gotten ourselves a new Plasma HDTV and some clothes and a furniture and nope, we aren't done yet!

So who among you are in the same road as we are? Hmmm... if you're one of us, don't forget to check out zappos.com/Lucky-Brand for more of your online shopping getaways!

Indeed, it is! The last time I gave update in this blog was days after my daughter turned three years old. Now, she's 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days old. And what's even bigger? We're already here in Stevens Point, Wisconsin to enjoy a brand new living! HAH. Time flies so fast, eh? It seems like it was just yesterday when the hubby got accepted with the job application that he was on and braced the interviews and some other vital requirements he must accomplished. Now, we are literally Wisconsinians already and living in a brand new apartment even makes our hearts rejoice. Will have to post pictures later if I get the chance. For now, I wanna say goodbye Illinois and hello Wisconsin. We still are very tired after our move a couple days ago. I didn't even arrange all the necessary things as I feel like I have plenty of time. We lack so many stuff still, but because I don't feel any pressure at all, I'm standing by. I never knew moving could be this tensional and tiring, but at the end of the day, it's all worth it. Thank you Lord for the gift of providence!

Yep, three years have gone by after I underwent a nightmare of labor. It feels to be so quick that it seems like it's only been yesterday when I had tried so hard to push and let her come out. And lo, now, our used to be 6 lbs 1 ounce newborn is now a little lady!
