Mommy Moments- My new year's list

I miss MM and I feel sad that I wasn't able to join the Mommy Moments last week. Anyway the long and busy week is over and I'm back.. The MM theme for today is New year's List!
Usually people are getting excited about what will 2010 will bring and what we hope to accomplish in this year.Sometimes you can accomplish what you set out to and sometimes life just gets in the way. Honestly! I have a high hopes for this year and I want to start the process of getting back to something close to "normal"..

♥Keina will be in 3rd grade and she did very well in her academics for 2 consecutive years. I hope she will continue to makes us proud!!! This year Rio will be in 1st grade.
♥ Both my kids are doing well in their piano lessons. Rio will be in her 5th month in playroom for the advance learning in mathematics and writing. This year were planning to enroll them in sports either volleyball or tennis.
♥ Health is wealth. I'm looking forward to have a healthier lifestyle for my family this year. Starting with lessen the fast food chain meals.
♥ Spend more bonding time with my kids.
♥ I'm hoping that my kids would learn to speak in English properly.
♥ House renovation in the Philippines.
♥ Save more spend less.. I'm starting to save a sum of penny from our monthly family budget. I'm starting to plan things more wisely. Now I write down all our budget for the month.
♥Were planning to move in a new place this year and I hope hubby can afford to buy me a car (my dream car) this year..
♥Summer vacation in the Philippines!
♥Last year one of my goal is to learn how to sew but sad to say I didn't even had a chance to create one . Now I'm hoping again to bring my art/crafty side to the next level hahah.. I work with my little sewing kit and few weeks ago I didn't realize how fulfilling its like to create your own pattern... So I want to figure it out and do it myself. Kaya ko kaya!!!
♥ I just hope that my family is always happy, healthy and contended and I want them to feel that I'm trying my very best to make them happy.
♥And finally, I hope to enjoy life to the fullest and try to remember that never take anything for granted.

I hope you can join us here in Mommy Moments. Happy weekend!!

what is a Guardian Inspector?

Guardian Inspector

You are observant, cooperative, directive and attentive. The one word that best describes you is Super dependable. Whether at home or at work, you are extraordinarily persevering and dutiful, particularly when it comes to keeping an eye on the people and products you are responsible for. In your quiet way, you see to it that rules are followed, laws are respected, and standards are upheld.

While not directly seeking leadership positions, you are often placed in such roles. You build a reputation for reliable, stable, and consistent performance that inspires others to select you to lead. You use your past experience and your factual knowledge in your decision making. Because you usually perform your work without much flourish or fanfare, the dedication you bring to your work can go unnoticed and unappreciated.

While not as talkative as Supervisors (ESTJs), you are still highly sociable, and are likely to be involved in community service organizations, such as Sunday School, Little League, or Boy and Girl Scouting, that transmit traditional values to the young. Like all Guardians (SJ's), you hold dear your family social ceremonies-weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries - although you tend to be shy if the occasion becomes too large or too public. Generally speaking, you are not comfortable with anything that gets too fancy. Your words tend to be plain and down-to-earth, not showy or high-flown; your clothes are often simple and conservative rather than of the latest fashion; and your home and work environments are usually neat, orderly, and traditional, rather than trendy or ostentatious. As for personal property, you usually choose standard items over models loaded with features, and you often try to find classics and antiques.

Famous Inspectors include Queen Elizabeth II, Harry S Truman, Warren Buffet, and John D Rockefeller.

welcoming 2010 :D

I'm back woohoo :D and I'm so happy that finally I'm starting to do the things that I love like watching my favorite shows on TFC ( The Filipino channel) and blogging wink! It's been a week guys and I missed a lot of things already. I didn't have a chance to drop some lines on your page, I wish I had time to read your post and I didn't post my MM and FTF memes last week.. Sad :(

OK! Where have I been? Well, my family has been celebrating New Year's Eve with my sister in law's house . We've all gathered in her house to celebrate the new year in a traditional Japanese way. As always, there was plenty of food on the table. My Mother in law made the delicious kinpira gobo, sukiyaki and ozoni. The evening was not complete without games and watching the TV specials.

I made chicken macaroni for our dessert.

Usually the evening was not without time spent in the living room pouring over photo albums. The gentlemen always got time to watch the marathon and got into discussions about life and politics. We rounded out the evening with the live singing and dancing performance of my two pretty girls. It happens to be the star of that night :D

New Year's Eve is a time to relax and enjoy the start of a bright and promising new year. A new beginning with my family and friends. It was a great start to our year and as always. I'm looking forward to a healthy, prosperous and happy 2010...

Happy New Year ;D
