Merry Christmas Everyone!

I will be MIA starting tomorrow until the 24th. The whole family will be having a grand vacay up north to experience the cool city breeze of Baguio. I am not sure if I'll still have the spare time to greet you all on the 24th so I'm extending my warmest greetings in this post. May everyone enjoy the holidays and may we not forget the true spirit of Christmas. Sharing.

For this year, I have increased my UNICEF contribution to help the indigenous children of the world. Next year perhaps, we'll make a contribution to charities like those of children afflicted with cerebral palsy.

Christmas / Holiday from dNeero-ites

Happy Holidays everyone! Amidst the hustle and bustle of the yuletide season, may we reflect and do not forget what Christmas is all about.

Legal Documents Source.

The advancement of the web never fails to amaze me. Gone are the days when students would spend some time after classes in the library to research for their assignments, term papers, theses and projects. And most of the time, a lot of precious hours is wasted scouring their topics from among piles and piles of books. I, too, had such difficulties especially during my majoring years. We had this
pre-law subject (law on negotiable instruments) where we had to draft our own Property Lease Rental Agreement and I had such a hard time doing it. We're just mere Pre-Law students..not lawyers so we didn't have a clue. If only RealDealDocs already existed that time, then it could have been a lot easier. RealDealDocs is on online library of the top Legal Documents from America's top law firms and companies that are available and easily searchable through their online catalog. Various documents like agreements, amendments, assignments, licenses, deeds, labor and employment policies and other office memos and letters that are usually needed in any business office. I browsed their catalog and I'm overwhelmed of their list. They indeed have a lot that law students, business professionals and lawyers even would greatly benefit from it. The greatest about this is they're easily accesible and are just a click away.

What Font Are You?

You Are Helvetica

Your life is ultra modern and ultra streamlined. You don't get bogged down in details or decoration. You like to think that you're the epitome of style and taste. People either totally get you - or they think you're boring and generic.

What Font Are You?

Words of Winter Freebie.

We don't experience Winter from where I am but this is a lovely embellishment for your Christmas layouts. Check out Karina's blog and download it from there. Be sure to respect her TOU and don't forget to give her credits when you use it.

I'll try to search for more Christmas freebie goodies and post it here.

Food Choices # 2.

Eat like a king during lunch!
1. What time do you usually eat lunch?
Late. Usually around 12:30 since I have to feed the little one first.

2. Do you combine breakfast and lunch together – brunch? What is usually the reason?
I used to before. But now especially that I'm breastfeeding I easily get hungry so I have to eat complete my day meals.

3. What do you usually eat for lunch?
Rice and whatever viand our helper cooks.

4. Do you eat like a king or a pauper during lunch?
Oh...a king!

5. Do you eat dessert after eating even if at home? What do you usually take?
Yes..chocolates, cakes, ice creams, fruits...anything sweets on the fridge.

Fear Factor:
Durian or Balot?
I love balot so probably, I'd try durian for fear factor's sake.

Tell Me:
What one dish are you dying to eat that is usually just served during the holiday season?
Hot and freshly cooked bibingka!

Techie..I'm Not.

I'm no of a techie person so whenever the husband, who's a software programmer, uses the terms like data integration software and other html syntax, I'm kinda lost. Let's talk about digital scrapbooking then I have lots to say and share. I do have basic knowledge about html thus, I can play and go about designing my blog but I always consult the husband whenever I don't do something right with my codes and find my blog mangled. So last night, he was talking about the new data protection and data management software that their team is considering to buy. He explains that the Syncsort product would speed various processes on their system like data warehouse processing, improve database loads, improve query performance and so on and so forth. I think they're just awaiting for their big boss' approval.

Freebie: Sweet Lemonade.

Some More Xmas Freebies.

Are you all set for Christmas? Before indulging yourselves with those yummy feasts on the Christmas eve and in every parties you'll attend, be sure you have your Fentraphen by your side ready to burn those extra fats you'll gain. And of course, don't forget to take pictures as there will be sweet memories to be made and cherish. So here are a few Christmas freebies that you could use to scrap your Christmas moments.

My Christmas Getup.

Just 10 days to go and I haven't figured out what I'll be wearing for Christmas. We're not having a big party but I'm thinking since this is our first Christmas as a family, it would be nice if I have a matching outfit with my boys. I bought them ON striped shirts and perhaps I'll just pattern my getup with that. Then it would also be nice if I wear Holiday Glass Frames From Zenni Optical such as this.

The popular online eyeglasses shop is totally genius. They always come up with interesting styles (and even themed) that would definitely suit the taste of each and every fashionistas out there. For the more budget conscious, they need not look into other shops since they have $ 8 Complete Rx Eyeglasses. Whichever eyewear style that you need, it's all in here.

Day 2.

Here's my Day 2 layout for the December Daily Album.

Journalling:
We celebrated your 9th month birthday on this second day of Christmas month. We had KFC Chicken and Goldilocks Choco Cherry Torte for a little feast. You were a little crabby towards the end of the day because you were already sleepy. Daddy rendered overtime at work so he came home late to a sleeping you. We waited for you to wake up so we can blow the 9 candles on your cake and eat our special dinner. Happy 9th month birthday, my sweetie.

Just 3 Months To Go.

Just three months to go until the first birthday party of the little one. We're already in the planning initial stages - availability and booking of the venue, photographer, host and caterer. We're yet to plan though the food that will be included in the menu. As this will be the little one's first, we might splurge a bit on this especially for the catering. So to the guests, you better have diet pills on hand to wade off the extra pounds that will be gained.

DDA Updates.

Today's the fifth day of the month and of our December Daily Album project and so far, I'm catching up. Yay! I never missed to take a picture everyday; then, two layouts whipped for the first and second day...great, isn't it? I am yet to share the second day layout I did last night. For the third and fourth days, I have the pictures and story readied..just waiting for the time and the mood so I can scrap them. I received plenty of online tasks today but I need to find time to squeeze this DDA daily routine. I can't afford to miss even just one day or else, they'll start to pile up and me getting overwhelmed to finish it.

December 1 - Yum!

And yes, finally, I scrapped! Yahoo! This one's for my December Daily Life Album.

Journalling:
My Little One, these are proofs how voracious your eating has been like recently. In these pictures, it looks like you’ve just feasted on your noche buena already and nothing was left on your plate but smears of your Cerelac Brown Rice and Milk. Continue having a hearty appetite my little one. You see, it’s not only Mom & Dad who’s mighty proud of you but the night sky is, too. See that smile? That’s the Moon, Jupiter and Venus aligning tonight, forming a very big and nice smile. We’re lucky to witness this very rare celestial activity and it happened on this very first day of the happiest month of the year..it’s as if signalling that we’ll indeed have a grand and merry holiday ahead.
