Oh snow !

This is a late post about something from last weekend.

The month flew by! As usual, I'm experiencing new stuff since I've been here in the US for maybe 6-7 months? Anyway, I experienced my first Blizzard!

Not this one

An actual snow storm. And we were outside playing! xD

Here's a video of what we did:

Also, my husband made me a Snow Cat!!

It was technically a natural disaster, but we turned it into fun! - Kyle Walker (my husband)

The month is ending soon and I'm so excited about February! Stay tuned to know why!

Welcoming 2016: New Year + My Birthday

Wow. It's 2016 already! It really snuck up on me!

So many things has happened, and suddenly we're jumping to a different year!

My husband and I had a quiet New Yer's Eve (compared to all others who went to parties amd stuff), we stayed home with Mamaw (my mother-in-law's mom) and Llyr. I really didn't want to be away from my baby for New Year's so we opted to stay home. :) It was an awesome day nonetheless.

We went to Sam's Club for diapers and wipes, and then we headed to Walmart for groceries, and let's just say some holiday miracles happened. x)

My husband really got lots of pogi points this time.
He got me my 12 fruits, and bought sparklers, made traditional Filipino candies and desserts, and awesome dinner for New Year's Eve. Oh, he got me a new phone case which looks super awesome!



I'm so glad we got to celebrate with Mamaw too, and she and Llyr played and played, and we told stories and it was like a sleepover! The best part of it is that my family from the Philippines Skyped with us all through out of NYE. Love love love family.

Last day of being 26 well spent. x)
My mom even greeted me before the day ended. xD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then the next day~
I turned 27.

Haha, it was actually a fun and funny day! It's so funny because during Christmas, I was asked what I wanted for my birthday, and I answered 'a surprise birthday party'. And oh my gosh, they threw me one!

My day started ever so norma--wait, maybe not.

Kyle let me sleep in.. hmmm..
Llyr didn't even go to the room to wake me up like usual.. hmmm..
I got to take a loooong shower..
Mom took Llyr early and so I even got extended time for preparation..
I got to spend time on my clothes and make up..
But I thought it's just because we had time, and well, it's my day after all.

Then lots of phone calls arrived for Kyle, not a single one for me. They told us we were to go to church to take the tree down, so .. ok. Then we got there and mom called Kyle in, so I was taking my time and Kyle came back out to get me.

I asked him, 'is this my bday party?' Haha. He said, 'no.' あやし。。x)

We came inside and it was dark and we went to the left instead of the right side, and they said
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!'

"I knew it!" I yelled.

Haha, Kyle said I've just always been good at guessing stuff for me xD that's also funny because before I got to open my big present I guessed what it was.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH ME OPEN THE GIFT
I was so excited about the gift, I just had to message my mama right away!

That wasn't the end! Because after my surprise birthday party, Travis (Kyle's uncle), and Cortney (Trav's girl), and Kyle and I had a double date at the Buffalo Wild Wings (as if we weren't full enough from late lunch, haha).  I was able to Skype with my mom a bit. B' dubs, as it's called, is popular for the chicken wings, which you can order from mild to HOT.  This is a special place for me because it's the very first place we got to eat at when we landed to the US. ^_^

After that, we went to a bookstore called Books-A-Million, where we got a huge discount for our haul!! Kyle has a new game, I have 3 new books, and Llyr has 4 new books! 

It doesn't even end there!! I got to fly my birthday lantern!!

It was the coolest way to end a super awestatic birthday! Yes, I made up a word! Because there is no other way to describe my day!



Things may try to bring us down, but I'm not going to take it.
I'm 27 and I think I'm starting it right.

My 1st Pumpkin Carving Experience!

I've always been interested in Fall. I think there's so many things to do! A lot of good food to eat since it's harvest season, and there's Halloween!

2 weeks ago, I experienced my first Turkey Shoot -- which is on my Youtube Channel, and then I went to Holiday World last Saturday (my first amusement park experience in the US).

Anyway, this post is about Pumpkin Carving, so here goes!!

I've never imagines that I would be able to have this experience, and I didn't expect it to be technical, to be honest. O_o It's a good thing my father-in-law was guiding me through it, and was helping so that my baby wouldn't go to where I was working because -- I have to use a saw! xD

I picked the pumpkin, with a good face. (They told me to have one in a bit of an angle so it would look good with a face on. xD)

The process:

My father-in-law, Bob, cuts the top off in an angle, so that it won't fall inside.
Also leaves a square cut so it won't move or swivel.

Who knew. xD

This is me gutting my pumpkin!!

It was a bit tiring, coz it was my first time. 

It took me 13 minutes to have a smooth inside.

Pumpkin fully gutted!

Then I chose a design and pinned the pattern down.

Onto the poking!

I used a pencil to poke the stencil!

16 minutes.

Now, onto the actual carving!

I used a small saw, from a carving kit, and I started cutting the design.

My father-in-law gave a lot of advice on how to make it easier to carve.

I did it for about 20 mins!

I'm a beginner.

This is the finished product!

Of course we had to test it, so we lit 2 candles inside of it and~~~

Do you know who this is?

^_^

I'll give you a hint:
He likes Christmas time! xD

Kawaii in Manila {Yes, late blog}

And because this blog is ALL ABOUT ME BEING A CRAMMER. Here we go! Posting this on the last day of entries. Ohohohoho~

Don't think about bad stuff...

Easy for you to say.

This day started with me not waking up early getting up early.
Then, being sleepy.
Then, being told I'm arrogant for saying I am paranoid and have borderline personality disorder.
Seriously?
(This is because I posted an art that came from FB, and the artist found my post and then his anon fans began uhmm... anyway)
It's my fault for posting it, I didn't know the source, I don't think we should go into what disorders I have and just 'cause I wanna say I have it. Hello.
Then, a student complaining because of HIS bad connection but made it the company's fault.
Wow.

Soooooooooo.. I gotta remember good days.

OFF TO AN ACE WATER SPA POST

I'm running out of vlog ideas hahaha help!

Yes the title says it all. I want to write something else here, but for now this will be what I would write about. So I'm so bored and I decided to take the morning (well afternoon) shot of where I pass when I'm going home. :P Oh you'd see my sister here being weird. >_<

So that's it for now. :D See you again soon~!! I need to post something useful or something wise next time. I think. o_o

You'll come see me again right?
Riiiiiiight~~~~ :3

I'll take you home with me~

So I wanted to show people where I live. Not really.

It's more like where I pass to go to my house.

It's so boring~~~~~ >_<

It was night time and video looked like a horror clip though. >_<

I hate ghosts. I get scared when I pass by here sometimes.

It's the shortest way to my house though.

Big in Small

For some reason when people write about traveling, food escapades, tips and stuff like that. I have nothing to write about! Hahaha, how boring can I be? Okay that wasn't really a question so noooooooooooooo! Don't answer it. ; 3;

I helped A BIT with my friend setting up her own blog. I think she'll be mainly posting about food. She LOVES eating but her body is cheating! Okay I did not mean that to rhyme. It's just that she's so fit! No matter what she eats she does not get fat while when I eat a small piece of bread I BOOM bloat right away!

Let's make this blog NOT dead. XD

Yes weird picture.
