When Is The Best Time?
I have been married for eight months now but unfortunately, we never had any luck getting pregnant. I heard a lot of conversation about the best time to conceive, ovulation and such things like that but I really didn’t understand them. Of course, this kind of lesson was conducted to us during our high school health class, but obviously I was not paying attention to it and that’s why I didn’t remember at all what was taught to us. Getting pregnant sounds like easy, but now I realized it is not.
.
Pregnancy.HealthGuru.com is the perfect website to go in order to get proper answers for all of my questions regarding this matter. I learned that the more you stressed out in getting pregnant the lesser the chance of it to happen. It requires a little bit of relaxation. On top of proper timing, there are also few important practices that will significantly boost the odds of conceiving. This website offers the most comprehensive video library, facts and information that will walk us through all of the best ways to help achieve successful pregnancy . Start by taking multivitamin that contains selenium, zinc and folic acid, each of which is essential for sperm production. Exercise plays an important role in improving sperm’s motility, too. Hmm, sounds like I learned a lot already. Let’s see what will happen then.

Biblical Prayer (part 1)
It has been awhile that the Successful Marriage series was over and I was not able to come up with a new one right away due to my previous health problem. Although this day had been a busy day for me because we have company in the house and as usual, it was Domino Time for all of us. By the time we're done, it was very late at night already, but I don't want to let this Sunday go again without starting a new Sermon Series; and today and for the next few Sundays to come, I will be sharing about;

Oxygen For Sports
Doug, my cousin is an athlete. At one time, I had the chance of watching him during his training. I can’t believe at how and where he got all those energy needed during the entire training. I could have been collapsed just right after few minutes of that kind of training. Of course, their determination and dreams are the greatest factors that keep them going.

Extraction Was Done
Finally, I had my extraction this afternoon. I already had two extraction when I was still in the Philippines, and it went just fine and I had no pain, but this time was terrible. I was really crying and sobbing because of too much pain. They already gave me two anaesthesia, it works though, I don't feel any sharpness from their tools, but on some point, it was still very painful as they tried to moved it. It didn't took them too long to have it done.
.
Right from the Dental clinic, I told my husband to take me to a bookstore. I wanted to buy some book for my self. I wanted to uplift my mood, but unfortunately, they don't have the book that I was looking for. I was sad again. Then, I thought of something else to buy for myself to make me happy. I thought of getting myself some handkerchief, because I love collecting them, in fact, I have a bunch of them. I was so surprised that Target don't have handkerchiefs. I can't believe it. Then, I thought of another thing, I really don't want to go home without getting myself something to uplift me. I ended up getting myself a half dozen of sexy panties. :)
.
Thank you, God, that finally this toothache problem is over. It will take two to three days before I can be back to my normal activities. But it is fine with me. I will just spend most of my time reading books.

Sleeping On A Dream Bed
Many of my friends asked me whether we already have set a date to move down in Florida or did we change our mind. Truth to tell, we are not so sure of the date yet, but it will definitely be after my husband completed his study here in Michigan, which will be on middle of September. We pray that it will be God's will, too.
.
Last night, my husband and I were talking about what would be the things that we will bring with us and what should be left behind. Some of the things that I find it very difficult to leave here will be our bedroom furniture. I like them very much. I just hope that I can find similar of them in the web.
..
I was browsing through the internet to look for a good deal of bedroom furniture and I am so happy of what I have found from time4sleep.co.uk.; I found this Faux leather bed. It looks so comfortable and elegant while at the same time it is durable, too. This made me feel better from being sad that we have to leave our bed. They have a wide selection of high quality bedroom furniture and with very reasonable prices, too. Check on their Metal Beds , they are very fashionable and great in style.
.
The good thing is that they are on sale right now for up to 45% off and they offer free delivery, too. Wow! This is really very comforting for me. Thanks, Time4Sleep. Why don't you visit their website and check their bedroom furnitures, and you might probably find your dream bed.

Goodbye Bud!
I know I said we had three dogs in the house, but I have introduced only two dogs, because I can't get a good shot of the other one. Everytime he saw me holding a camera, he just walked away. I don't know why. It must be the flash, and too bad, I don't know how to use the camera without activating the flash. So, here, this was taken from the old camera that my husband had, it don't take good picture that was why I had to buy a new one.
.
This is Bud. He is five years old. He is the biggest among the three dogs in the house. He barked a lot whenever he saw somebody walking in the street, some vehicles close by or if he saw any kind of moving things outside the house. He barked a lot to our visitors, even if it has been for awhile, not because he didn't like them but because he wanted attention. You got to give him a cookie to shut his mouth, but a little later, he will ask for cookie again. That's Bud.
.
Every morning when I go out from our room, he wanted a few seconds of my attention by rubbing his back before he would let me go. Bud is a loving dog. He is very expressive in his feelings, but because of his size, I have to discouraged him sometimes. Everytime Mom or Dad is talking, it made him excited that he thought he is gonna get a cookie, and if he don't, he dragged their hands by his mouth and take them to where the cookie jar is. He even know how to use his head in pointing what he wanted.
.
This morning, while I was taking my late breakfast, my husband came home from school. He told me what happened to Bud. He died. Obviously he was hit by a car because he found him by the road very early this morning. So, that was why he was not there when I came down from our room. I thought he was just outside. My dad-in-law had been waiting for him to come back home from his regular pee time this morning. I am so sad. Everybody in the house is so sad. He is too young to die.
.
We love you, Bud, and we will gonna miss you. You will be always remembered. Thank you for the years that you have been with us and making us happy with you around. The house will never be the same again without you. Goodbye, Bud.

Just Because The Economy Is Cracking Doesn't Mean Your Skin Has To, Too

These past few days, I spent a lot of time looking in the mirror, more than I have ever remembered in my life and it was because of my toothache, I kept checking which tooth and what happened to it. But one time, I was alarmed at what I saw. I saw a very slight wrinkle under my eye. I had to cover my mouth to prevent myself from screaming. What was it that I was so scared of? Was it the fear of realizing that I was getting old? Oh come on, all of us are getting loder. Or maybe I just can’t accept that at my age it starting to show? This is likely caused by spending too much time working on my computer and less sleep.
.

Thankful Thursday- Present Your Request To God
It is Thursday once again and I am looking forward on this day with gladness because we know that this is the least we can do in return of all blessings and answered prayers we received from God, but before I go on, I would like to highlight this verse;
.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6 NIV
.
...*I thank God that I am feeling good now and for the good health to all of us in the house, including our three dogs.
...*I thank God for my sponsored posts throughout the week, it really enables me to start build up my own money.
...*I thank God for using me and my blog to bless others.
...*I thank God for keeping us safe in everything we do and on every where we go.
...*I thank God that my husband is doing good in his studies.
...*I thank God that tomorrow will be Friday. I have an appointment to my dentist then.
...*I thank God for giving me a Filipino friend here in Michigan, she visited me the other day.
...*I thank God for the Filipino foods she brought for me, because she knew that I miss them very much. Bless her, Lord.
...*I thank God for giving me a husband that is so nice and love me very much unconditionally.
...* I thank God for the ministry He had assigned to me.
...*I thank God that we can feel that He strengthen our marriage.
...*I thank God knowing that there is nothing impossible in His name.
And many, many more. We can not ran out of things to be thankful for. God is good all the time. He deserves all the praises and thanksgiving forever and ever.

TB Skin Test
Some of you may have remember that I had a positive TB skin test a couple of months ago. On the day that I was supposed to show my arm it started to swell, I was not worried because of course, I know in my body that I don't have it. But after showing it to the nurse and she declared that it was positive, I started crying. I cried because I was upset. I was upset because I didn't understand how I got it. Had it happened when I am here? Did somebody gave it to me. Way back in the Philippines, before I was issued a Visa, I had undergone a very strict medical examination and obviously, I had no problem because my record say so. Although the nurse told me that my case may only be exposure to TB from the past, but still I was so sad. And they still have to give me 9 months treatment and that was how I started to get sick because of the reactions.

WOW Game Card
I don’t play computer games because I don’t understand it too much. My nephew does a lot and he explained it to me how they play it. He is very good at it. He could beat those who are way older than he is. He could play straight 10 hours or more without feeling hungry. He once told me that he would die if he can’t play. Of course, that was just a joke.

Buy Winter Apparel On Spring Time

Yay! It is spring time already. I am very happy that those freezing moments are finally over. That was my very first winter experience here in USA and I want to say that it was not very pleasurable to me. Spring is the time to be free again from all those heavy winter clothes, boots, scarves, mittens and bonnet. It is about time to wear light apparel, flip flops; and off we go.
.
However, we must not forget that the earth is still turning around. What I mean is, whether we like it or not, winter will come again. Preparing ahead is always the smartest way to stay comfortable and safe. Sears is on sale right now from 75% to 80% off on original prices on fall and winter apparel from now until April 18th.
.
I love this Wool Trench Coat with Tie Waist from Sears. I had wished to buy this one but it was very expensive during winter time. Now is my chance to have this. This has been $200 and this is on sale now for only $99.99 each. Wow! That is a great saving I will have then. Check all their items and you might find the one that you have been wanting to buy on a great deal, too. Have fun!

Tea Bag For Toothache
During those times that I had a very bad toothache, I was really crying because taking Tylenol or Ibuprofen doesn't help. I never had toothache as bad as I had a week ago. My husband has been suggesting many things that I had tried and had worked for a very short time only. He searched online for more help and found out that a teabag can help. I tried it and had proved it true.
.
If your toothache is caused by an infected tooth, the pain can be relieved by using a tea bag and it fights the infection as well. Place the bag in a cup and pour enough very hot water on it just so it's completely wet. Allow it to set for a few minutes to cool down some. Then, gently squeeze the tea bag out so it's not sloppy wet. Place it in your mouth and hold it firmly on the affected tooth. Hold it in place for several minutes. The toothache pain should begin to subside.
.
Tea (loose, green, bag,ect) has high amount of Vitamin K (potassium), which is a natural coagulant, or blood thickener.This helps reduce bleeding, and also has good, beneficial stomach enzymes that will settle a stomach ache (esp. if you've overeaten).

My husband was having problem with his laptop because he had to download a lot of video files that was related to his studies and end up almost crashing his windows system but with the help of file extension .mwv, it was saved.

All these were made easier and safer because of his file extension MVW .

Singing Songs of Worship
Charles Spurgeon has said, "Silent worship is sweet, but vocal worship is sweeter." I am both. It may depend on the situation, but I love the most singing worship to God out loud. I spend at least one day in a month singing worship songs to God in the guest room all by myself for the whole day. Certainly, scriptures affirms the importance of meditation, but it also urges us to sing out in praise to God.
.
In the old testament, singing worship songs was the most effective weapon for them to attack their enemies. It is so amazing how their enemie's foothold just collapsed as their enemies started fighting with each other. Offering of worhip songs to God made the Israelites always victorious. As Martin Luther said, "Come, let us sing a psalm and drive away the devil." There is power in the song of thanksgiving that made our lives victorious and an overcomer through any problems in life we may have. I really believe in that personally. So, every time I feel gloomy, singing worship song is the only way to brighten up my day. Sing it out!
.
"It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night..." Psalm 92:1 & 2 NIV

Free Kissimmee Vacation
I am a nature lover. I love going to different places very much. It has always been my hobby to go traveling around the world with my friends or with somebody that I love so much. The joy that I feel is much greater than going to big malls or theaters. Nature sight-seeing can be considered “food for the eyes”. Although this is an expensive hobby, but sometimes , “the best things in life are free".

Rainbow After The Rain
I'm back. Starting last Saturday, I had no more tooth pain anymore. I had finally able to sleep. I am so happy with that, although I still have one problem because the anti-biotic that they give me is so strong that it gives me bad heartburn every time I take it. It was really so bad that I look like a wolf howling at a full moon for 30 minutes. I'm really very tired of being sick but I look forward on few days after my tooth will be finally be pulled out and I will say then, "I'm back to normal". If God is willing, I am looking forward for a rainbow after the rain.
.
As of now, I can't stay online too long as I used to do. I need a lot of rest. I apologize for not coming to your blog lately but I will make it up to you in few days. I would like to thank all those who come and leave comments on my post. They mean so much to me.
.
Being a God's child, we ought to take good care of ourselves. We actually committed sin if we don't take good care of ourselves because His holy word says; "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple." 1 Corinthians 3: 16 & 17 NIV

Thankful Thursday - Let It Be Known To All The World
It is Thankful Thursday once again. It has been a rough week for me but having God on my side is always a win-win situation. I would like to highlight this verse before I go on with my list of things that I am thankful of.
.
"In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Isaiah 12: 4-5 NIV
.
.....*I thank God for reminding me to watch my priorities in life again. I admit, I messed up lately.
.....*I thank God for His clear message for me that I received through having quite time with Him.
.....*I thank God that for leading us to a good and cheap dental clini and finally, had my dental check-up.
.....*I thank God for the good health of my mother, my husband, my friend and my parents-in-law. And of course, I thank God for the good health of our three dogs, too.
.....*I thank God for the daily provisions.
.....*I thank God that that I saw robins this morning. My mom-in-law told me it is a sign that spring starts.
.....*I thank God for for His loving kindness. His mercies are new every morning.
.....*I thank God for all my sponsored post on the past seven days.
.....*I thank God for all my blogger friends that are regularly take time to visit and read my post. I really appreciate it very much.
.....*I thank God for those people who care for me. Bless them, O God.
And many, many more. Giving thanks to God is acknowledging that without Him, we can not accomplish anything, that we owe everything we got to Him. May His glorious name, Jesus Chirst be praise always and forever!

Drive With Peace
One of the things that I am so excited about springtime is the thought of taking driving class soon. Actually, I didn’t want to learn yet, then but I realized that I need to do it for emergency purposes. Of course, nobody wants the "emergency purposes", but aside from that, there are other many reasons why I need to learn to drive such as taking myself to stores when I need to buy something or taking myself to my friend's house.
.
Talking about driving class, another important thing to consider is to get a car insurance. There are a lot of car insurance companies choices, and you have to choose the one that is very beneficial. A car insurance is different from van insurance. Autonet Insurance is one of the largest and expert independent Cheap Van Insurance that you can depend on.

"Bingo Social"

Back in the Philippines, I enjoyed playing Bingo. My niece used to take me to social hall in SM mall to play Bingo. Not long time ago, I found out that the word “Bingo” originally came from the word “Beano” back in 14th century in Italy. Shortly after that, the game “Bingo” made its mark in Germany was introduced to children for educational purposes, mostly to help students learn math. It was only in 1929 that “Bingo” reached North America, at which time it became known as "Beano."
.
Talking about bingo , lately, online bingo has become so popular. Bingo Hideout is a social network for online bingo fans. They do not come only to play but they also come to make friends with like-minded people or share some interesting juicy topic to talk about while playing online bingo. Bingo Forum is open to public to just socialize with other bingo players and new comers are very welcome. If you are new on this kind of game, you can also try to play for free with no deposit needed. If you are into socializing, explore their forums, Wink Bingo, Tombola Bingo, Sky Bingo and many more and suit yourself to where you think you belong.

St. Patrick Day's Surprise- "I Got Package From IZEA"
My tooth ache bothers me again. I was not able to sleep the whole night. I did every way I know that will possibly stop the pain, but surprisingly, it did not work. I was really wondering why. I spent the night groaning silently. At six o'clock in the morning, the pain started to subside, but I had no choice but to decide not to go with my husband to school. Although the pain slightly subside, but the fact that I had not sleep for the whole night, that called me to stay in bed for the whole morning. So I did. It made me sad and wonder if I should regret. Last night, my mother-in-law told me to set aside my being a Filipino today and become an Irish. What she mean was to wear something green today. Before I went to sleep, I took out the green blouse that I keep in a luggage bag because I could not wear it because it was winter then. So, I had my green blouse ready for today. :(
.
Early this afternoon, I went down to cook my rice, I noticed a green package on the table. I looked at it and was surprised that it has my name on it. Then, I found out the package was from IZEA. IZEA is one of my biggest sponsor here in my blogging. And these are the contents; GREENS! A t-shirt, a greeting card, a couple of BLU FROG energy drink, a pencil, candies, cookies, knick-knacks and some burloloys, too. :) This is really a good surprise. Thank you very much, IZEA. You made me very happy today. (Pay Per Post and Social Spark)
