Time To Make That Change

Simple. I'm bored with the old look of my blog. I'm more fond of some basics, like Black, white, red. From the very beginning I wanted these colors already. But I thought it might not go well with my title as "Sweet Nothings" it may be too strong for it.
My original plan today was to create a photo blog. With my schedule getting tighter (and my son attending school), it is going to be impossible for me to maintain it. So I decided to pour that urge (for something new) to this site once more.
I am a woman with a very strong disposition (not personality). Anything that will make me happy and comfortable, I go for it. Change has always been a healthy thing. It encourages me to be creative.

I decided to go with who I really am. First, I love experimenting. Even with my other sites. Change is never new. I enjoy tweaking, adding and removing widgets, discovering and learning new tricks. It is fun!
And since this is a family and a wholesome blog site...my chosen title will be best supported by my entries.. Not the colors or the look.
And with this constant change, I am very aware that my PR will go down all the way this time. (Weather- weather na lang lol/ In Time). I'm so happy that with my current PR, I'm still getting ads. And I am still looking. I'd be a hypocrite if I say I'm not.

For the past weeks, I have also been reading some blogs wishing for a make-over. If not, at least for a little change. Those posts inspired me to change my template again :D
Go ahead guys, tweak with your sites, set free the person in you. It will even add inspiration to your blogging.

Blog Prayer Brigade for the 2010 Presidential Election


With the 2010 Philippine Election getting nearer,

Dear Lord, We humbly ask for guidance and wisdom in choosing the right leaders who will lead us to a brighter, clean, and productive future. We solemnly pray for peace on election day and enlightenment for our citizens. 

This We ask through Your Precious Son Jesus. Amen.

0o0o
I, Enchie C. support the cause of the Blog Prayer Brigade for the election of the Future President of the Republic of the Philippines and I do solemnly promise to recite the prayer, which I wrote, in my own convenient time and regularly as possible until the 2010 Presidential Election commences. Let it be written, let it be done.

As a responsible citizen and a voter, I will not only tag 7 people. I shall give all my fellow Filipino bloggers in my bloglist the chance to join me in this Prayer Brigade for the 2010 Presidential Election.
Change Will Start With YOU!

A Whole New Level

Tomorrow, my son, my only child, will officially start his first day in school. We got pretty late enrolling him for summer school. He got sick for the past month and the holidays and vacation days became hindrance too. I was finally able to enroll him late this afternoon. Hopefully, we will be able to enroll him for this school year by the end of the month also.
I am very excited! The school is airconditioned and safe. It is located near our condo. The teachers are very nice.
I even bought a new sling bag for myself to be able to move freely, to and from the school.
I am confident that my son will not have a hard time mingling with other kids. Suddenly, something flashed in front of me. It's time to aim higher. It's a whole new level. A new beginning. A different path in life. A very important priority. Education.
My husband and I have high hopes when it comes to our child's education. And we're both conditioned to work for it. Not to forget, we're also as flexible to whatever we can give.
I know that we will eventually come to this point in our life. And how time flies so fast. For a minute, my arms were wrapped around my baby boy. Now, its longing for him, running after him.
I will take this as a good opportunity for me too. It is a chance to move further. To grow and learn as part of Motherhood and as a Parent.

A Mother's Day Special

Mother's Day is one of my most awaited celebration every year. It feels so good to finally be part of this event. It is important to pay tribute to our moms who brought us to humanity and to where we are right now. My motherly life was inspired by my own Mother. Her life was very colorful with both sad and happy times. And I was able to witness most of her hardships. I will honor my Mother, her works, her values and the lessons she brought about for us (her children)to learn.
Now as I celebrate my 5th as a Mother. I thank my Mommy for being there for me all the time. For the nurturing and nourishment, for the extra love she always give. For being patient with me, for teaching me the simplicity of life. The guidance and giving inspiration in choosing my husband to be, and for being a sweet grandmother to my son...
With this, I would also like to greet my Mother-in-law a very special Mother's Day with warm hugs! Thank you for accepting me as your daughter, for the guidance, love and appreciation. Your son is in good hands. He is well taken cared of...

2 Mothers in my life
Last time I was with my Mother-in-law was in 2008.
To my Sister-in-law...well, you got home just in time for Mother's Day. Hope you enjoyed your business trip. Thank you for being a wondeful mom to our niece and nephew. Of course, a loving wife to my brother.
Lastly, to my Mommy Friends online. Thank you for the sweet inspirations, your stories in life. Thank you for opening more of realistic side on being a Mother.I greatly appreciate all the time you give visiting my site...
Being a Mother or having a child is indeed a matter of choice. But if your heart desires to add some inspiration in your life and to marriage. You will not even think of Choosing or making a choice, as an option. Just do it and be happy. The happiness a child can bring, is out of this world. Being a Mother is the most rewarding in a woman's life.

For the Love Of Games, Pictures and Sites

I have been spending less and less time blogging. The breakdown of our desktop last week kinda triggered everything. Plus, my camera was with my Dad, so there's less inspiration. And it was not very easy to let go. To a point, that I had to ask for it- from him again. Hehehe! its a good thing that he is my Dad. Just imagine the disappointment that I'll be getting if I gave it to another person. Stupid! Well, my Dad told me that he knows, sooner or later I'll ask for it again.
Consider that settled. I'll take pictures again soon.

Now, I'm so occupied playing Burger Rush, Diner Dash, and Burger Shop. All these games are just so fun to play with. It will also make you drool. While my son's taking a nap, instead of blogging and making my usual drops ,I play.


These games are available from Yahoo Games. There's a trial for 1hr. and you can purchase the full version for $7. They look cute and easy. But I tell you, they are very challenging, especially when meeting the game's goals- objectives.

Another thing that kept me was my other site in Multiply. I just recently upgraded it. Since that's where I post my albums and personal stuff, and I survived a year with it. It was my gift for the site, turning it to Multiply Premium.

With that, I also made changes with the look and updated its content. That site of mine are exclusively for friends, online buddies and family only. I try to protect some images and stories. Multiply is a different world from Blogger. If you happen to have an account, let me know so can I visit you there too.

I Pray For Some Sunshine

Remember my post on a perfect vacation last week? -entry here-

Well, the whole time last week, especially this week. We have been planning and making options for that perfect vacay. It has been raining, the waters of Zambales are not as calm especially when our target location is facing the open waters of the China Sea.

We decided to make Tagaytay as our second destination, just in case it will continue pouring up to thursday.

My heart is with the camping experience in one of the famous islands of Pundaquit. It is going to be a different one for us, especially for my son. With the weather changes, everything was put to a halt. And we can't go shopping for our stuff: new swimwear, sunscreen, tent, flashlights, and others, until we finally can see that it is going to be a fine day. Boat reservation is just a click away.

Looking out our window early today, it was sunny. And now, its partly cloudy.

That's how Mother nature does it!

All I can do is pray for Some Sunshine for our perfect vacation.

0o0o
And to my disappointment, this just in: A typhoon is expected to enter the country from the South China Sea anytime from tomorrow until the weekend. It might even hit Manila.

So Tagaytay it is for us.

5 Stars for Fast and Furious!

They are back! Faster and more Furious with awesome car stunts. Makes me wanna pimp our own Honda Civic. There were mixed bad and good reviews about the movie. I watched the first 3 ---Fast and Furious. I gotta see this one too. With some of the main cast back drifting their stuff, it nailed a whopping $72.5 million on its weekend debut.
I enjoyed the movie! As usual I was also amazed by the cars. I think this was the best of the Fast and Furious flicks.
This 2 men were reunited for 2 different purposes.

1. Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) now an FBI agent trying to catch a drug lord using car racers as medium in order to ship his illegal packages in and out of the U.S territory.

2. Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) wants revenge to the person responsible (who was also working for the drug lord) for the death of his girl Letty (Michelle Rodriguez).

Two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what’s possible behind the wheel.-source-

Directed by: Justin Lin (Tokyo Drift) .

A possible Fast and Furious 5 on its way!
