Celebrating Mother's Day

4.......  

Date: may 13 , 2012

Title: Best Gift for Your Mom
Subtitle: What Your Mom Would Actually Love to Have



Mother's Day is  much more exciting if you become a mother yourself. Though it has been a great fuss around our home and our community as young child, I am more touched by this month's event that now I am the one who is being greeted and surprised. 

Surprising your is not just as ieasy as buying something tacky or expensive stuff. Here are nice gifts that would truly make your mom smile other than giving your mom just the usual flowers.

5 -   Chocolates... 
* Who doesn't likes chocolates? Surely, whether locally made or imported ones can make every sweet tooth mom smile. Just make sure your mom has no diabetes or else your Mother's Day surprise will send another doubtful meaning

4 - kitchen stuff or things she usually use at home ( like teflon pan, food processor or if you have the budget, washing machine with dryer or a La Germania oven)
* Though it sounds as if you imply more chores for your mom, generally almost all moms are practical. Your Mama will surely appreciate it, trust me!

3 - Treat her out on a date
* Moms enjoy bonding with their sons and daughters whether you go out on a fancy restaurant, bowling or you just prepared a breakfast for her; we are sure to remember these times like these.

2 - Money...
*Though it may sound so, pretty obvious you didn't thought a lot about your gift; let's all be real. Who wouldn't want money? Just make sure your mom would  not take this one the wrong way, hehehe. Just slip a very heart touching and unforgettable card how much you love her so much that you would want her to buy whatever she wants....

1 - A simple but a wonderful hug... And a kiss!
*Though an iPad or trip to Bora would be heaven for us but nothing beats a hug from our son (or for others, daughter or if your blessed enough both). Material and extravagant things makes us happy but remembering us and letting us feel we are important and treasured, the the best of all. But of course it's much more nice if all of the people in the household would always show respect and love always (that we don't have to nag around just to be heard), that would be the best gift ever!


Must see movie this summer:



Comment :
happy Mother's Day Mama! Though we may be the most generous kids some mom's can have; Ina (how we call our beloved mom, or strange at seems we call her 'Inaconda') we love you so much!

Same way, to my Mom in law. You are the best! happy mother's day... And also to my sis in law, Ate Che...

at these times like this, I am missing my Lola Luisa more.... Sob, sob...

Thank to my adorably naughty son and sweet hubby...

Welcome to the iPad Generation

In the Name of iPad... Finally, we invested on an Apple! Yes, I am an apple lover, I love the juicily sweet and a tangy sour taste from that fruit but I am not referring to that. If it isn't only Steve Jobs' ingenious mind and untimely death that intrigues me, my hubby wouldn't had gifted me an iPad.   Though a bit pricey, we finally got an iPad! But our excitement was soon hindered by a bit of dismay. Since I am an incredibly good  Microsoft user (ahem...) I can't get the hang of typing and exploring Apple's tech as I usually do in my old Hp Compaq laptops. And here are more few stuff I had hard time adapting from iPad: 5 - Sensitive keys (or monitor perhaps in this case) needs to master more as if you are trying to use your mouse and keyboard for the first time in your life 4 - New strange environment (if you are used to using Microsoft interface, common terms you might know has different terms with Apple's. Like, If you wanted to visit a website, you don't Explorer or Firefox to help you out but Safari may aid you to. And you will find it funny that the 'return' tab on the iPad's keyboard means 'enter') 3 - Additional installation app to access certain sites (it took me many minutes to find out that I need to install a Facebook app just to easily access the site) 2 - Sensitive screen means additional accessory to buy to protect your iPad ( unlike my old laptop, I can easily slip it through my bags.  1- Intellectual property rights issue which turned me off.  Given, iPads have no USB ports, I expected it's built in  Bluetooth technology will help me share data from my phone or from my laptop ( or desktop),  but even successfully paired, I found out that iPad is still firm with it's brand to exclusively share and use iPad related tech alone. Thus, you need to invest more on other Apple tech to extend your ability to share and use your data. Well, despite of the undesirable stuff I get from using iPad, at least this little rectangular fella here comes in handy and I feel a lot classy and definitely wealthy when I bring my iPad with me. Besides, how many virus maker has mastered the art and has targeted  massively Apple's software? At least fewer than  any other famous personal computing system that I know. And all I know from my IT literature, it was Apple who started it all...

Simple Things I Hate

Recommended blog posts:

Simple Things that Ruins my Day




10 – Forgetting to bring a hanky with me

I don’t feel good if I leave my hanky at home is as pointless as not bringing a penny in my pocket when I leave. Surely I can take it if I have no cellular phone for a day (while I know a lot who cannot live without their iphone even for a second!), but I kind of my day is lacking if I had not brought a hanker chief with me.

9 –  Hanging and collecting of washed clothes

 I love washing clothes. It generally became a relief and an after spa like feeling when I wash clothes. Turning dirty and smelly clothes to a freshly looking one gives me the most refreshing feeling while soaking my hands to all those overflowing basins. But it kind of gives me that awful reaction when I start to hang them outside. I didn’t like the ray of the sun hitting my skin (except when I am on the beach) while  I individually place the clothes like banderas and banderitas on long pieces of strings. It is also a nasty task to do when the rain pours unexpectedly and I have to run outside to gather all (still often wet) clothes. Worst, when I already finished gathering all those unfairly dried clothes; the sun begins to shine brightly! Starts to pour madly again! 
Then I will neatly return the clothes back outside but then rain Huh! The irony of wanting to have good smelling clothes to wear.  

8 – Knowing that there is a cheaper price of the same item I bought on the other store which I got for a higher price

I feel fooled when I bought something that is readily available on other stores which have lesser price than I paid for from where I got it. No matter how OC I am in store hopping just to find the best priced item, I often end up buying the pricey ones.

7 – Truthfully obeying rules but I annoyingly discovered someone was able to deliberately and conspiringly bypass through those rules

That makes me mad. While I obediently stood by the imposed rules some people would just habitually and irritatingly break those just to make their life easier than those who deserve what they got. For this reasons, inconsistencies from the management made me think to just be delinquent and be unprofessional at times. Life sucks and irony hurts.

6 – Buying the wrong size or damaged items

Even for my extreme scrutiny, chances are, I still end up bringing home the incorrect sized item (especially my son’s stuff because he grow bigger daily than I expect) and worst – I will only discover the defect when I am already out of the store (like electronic supplies) .  Though stores are very willing to change the item I bought, it is still a hassle to take time and pay for another fare going back to the store

5 – Overpricing tricycle drivers

I know, I know, gas and oil have unbelievably increased (as expected...) but is it not polite enough that as a tricycle or taxi driver (a public servant it is) it is truly rude to suggest a price more than the allowed fare immediately  after the supposed possible passenger has just mentioned where she’s going. I am aware that if I will be dropped off to a far and remote place (which drivers may not be able to get new passengers as well), I voluntarily pay generously. But it made me mad if I was asked first. Hey, I know how to pay right, so never dictate how much I am going to pay.

4 – Sleepless night because of TV... and Facebook

With our expensive cable monthly bill, I can’t watch a decent and worth-watching program on TV after my son is asleep (supposedly it is my time to take hold of the TV remote and freely watch non-animated and childish TV shows!). I can’t even stay on one channel for a 10-straight minutes because either there is also a nice show on the other channel, or there is nothing pleasant to watch. Annoyingly and disturbingly, for these weird reasons I am awake until 1 or 2 AM. Another useless overtiring activity ‘till dawn is the exploitation of unlimited call/text and internet; since I seldom load, if I had the chance to use the internet, I’d enrol my broadband to unlimited internet. Since the internet connection only lasts for a day or two, I am an obnoxious internet user.

3 – Getting a hanger from another tangled hanger inside a hamper!

I hated sorting and arranging tangled hangers on a basket hamper. Sorting hanger looks easier than it seems, but it irritates me when I am about to hang something and I couldn’t pick hastily as I should because all the hangers are tangled up too badly.

2 – People who forget to return what they barrowed and owe

Who would want someone to barrow from them and never return or pay whatever they owe them? This can surely upset my day.

1 – Meeting an unreasonably judgemental moron

One thing I observed, those who love to talk about and analyze other people are often those who have below average intelligence. They are those person who accomplished nothing in life (generally who have no meaningful jobs or whatsoever) so they tend to spend their time mugging other people by their small useless talks. Like yesterday, I heard a mom horribly describe how fat another mom at school but as far as I can see, that same basher mom is also unevenly stout... talking about seeing a small speck on other’s face, while your own face has bigger dirt piece. Another saying says:  Dumb people talks about other people... Average people talks about events, while wise people talks about the future.

What do the Author Think >> Forward to New Tags




An Author’s Thought


Rona’s blogs is under new reconstruction (kind of introducing first of her new feature on www.ronasays.blogspot.com ). First the author would like to thank those who try to hop once in a while on her personal online thought (though her posts are often untimely and super delayed). Since the author only uses her blog as a tunnel of expression of her insane thoughts, she didn’t really expect any will read this little net space nor will loyally follow this page. But to those who did and will have to waste time stopping by this blog, she is wholeheartedly grateful to you (whoever you are J  )
From her old usual tags like Showbiz, God, Health, Events, places, Personal Thoughts, and My Diary, the author would like to inform you that she had now classified tags to:

Top list (or perhaps her own personal countdown) which she personally and specially selected. These are listings which she just randomly thought and – Alas! She then suddenly has these unique lists of pick which are both plausible and atrocious in an instant.  (Also read: Simple Things that Can Upset Your Day)

            
                                Rona’s book reviews she recently read or movie reviews she watched recently mostly over cable channels or barrowed CDs and DVDs. She is also a bit of a movie fan so she usually immediately hop in movie theatres to watch the latest movie but lately, since she has to be accompanied by her 4-year-old-toddler, she would end up getting into mostly animated films instead. But she daringly loves spending money on romantic-comedy movies and action films. She couldn’t help cry on movies with which depicts pain and heart-drenching movies. 
     
 These are posts which are direct from Rona’s randomly weird thought. She is oftentimes been misunderstood by her too opinionated reckless big mouth, she psychologically bury things and spend moments through blogging her anxieties instead. She has fearless comments and observation on almost anything and everything, whether heckling a showbiz personality, applauding a modern-day hero, calling out for someone, or just about anything that comes from her mind. Call her crazy but she will sanely write about her thoughts. (You might want to check out: American Idol Fever >> Colton Dixon, Pinay Power, Jessica Sanchez )

  
                Rona is such a desperate travel buddy. The former homebody gal from mountainous province of Bulacan has aspirations of travelling around places which she has only dreamed of. From simple pleasurable places to those of widely talked about hot spot. Things, persons and events she has observed lately will definitely be seen from her window view. 
               
            
 These are blog posts from Rona’s past’s blogs and previous (but unforgotten) experiences. Her history may be of old age but re-uploaded blogs or real-life-changing incidents which might give readers possible meaningful insights about life, realization, warnings and even seeing goodness in people. 

 
Pictures she has taken from her low end Nokia 6300 cellular phone and/or Canon PowerShot S60 camera; which are either uniquely or ordinarily selected by Rona, herself, which she just accidentally, inspiringly or may be stupidly wan’na share.  




So, if you visit again and find things a bit different, blame the author. It’s her and her not so brilliant idea messed everything up. No need to be violent about it, you can tell her all the stuff you want, or maybe she would still be happy to read basher’s comments!

Thank God, I had to end this blog entry; I can’t stop giggling addressing myself in third person, as if the author is a different person. After all, it’s my blog and I rule in here! I can do and write pretty much stuff I wanted (lol)!
