Wordless Wednesday #45
We are all set for the 4th of July trip, well almost. I just got off the phone with the friend whom we are going to meet in DC and we partially planned our Itinerary for the July 4. Parade and Fireworks top our list and some picnic. Hubby was hoping to see some cherry blossoms but obviously, there are no more cherry blossoms. Hmmm, I guess with or without it, the trip would be great :).

Memo from a Child.
And yes, Dear Hubby belated Happy Father's Day!
1. Don't spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for. I'm only testing you. (hehehe true!)
2. Don't be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it; it makes me feel more secure.
3. Don't let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in the early stages.
4. Don't make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me behave stupidly "big".
5. Don't correct me in front of others if you can help it. I'll take much more notice if you talk more quietly with me. (I should conscientiously do this)
6. Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins. It upsets my sense of values.
7. Don't protect me from consequences, I need to learn the painful way sometimes.
8. Don't be upset when I say "I hate you." It isn't you I hate, but your power to thwart me.
9. Don't take too much notice of small ailments, sometimes they get me the attention I need.
10. Don't nag me. If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf.
11. Don't make me rash promises. Remember that I feel badly let down when promises are broken.
12. Don't forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I should like. That is why I'm not always very accurate.
13. Don't tax my honesty too much. I am easily frightened into telling lies.
14. Don't be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and makes me lose faith in you.
15. Don't put me off when I ask you questions. If you do you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere.
16. Don't tell me my fears are silly. They are terribly real and you can do much to re-assure me if you try to understand.
17. Don't ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too great a shock when I discover that you are neither.
18. Don't ever think that it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm to you.
19. Don't forget how quickly I'm growing up. It must be very difficult for you to keep pace with me but try please.
20. Don't forget that I love experimenting. I couldn't get on without it, so please put up with it.
21. Don't forget that I can't thrive without lots of love and understanding from you, but this I don't have to mention, do I?

bundles savings
I have not been online most of this weekend and I am proud about this :). You see, I have been savoring my weekend off school because in less than 9 days, I'm back to school again. If only I did not procrastinate on my blog backlogs, you would not find my online today.
Apart from spending quality time with my boys, I have been busy accompanying JR & C for their wedding preparations. Yesterday, C and I have been around Ulta, Sephora and Macy's to check on make-ups and her bridal head dress. Then I helped them decide which Cable, TV, and internet service company they would get for their apartment. I told them about Qwest, Qwest Communications, and Qwest DSL Service. So far, the soon to be married couple find Qwest quite affordable for newlyweds. They are hoping to settle everything before they move. I admire this couple because they would really devote time and resources to their future home over their wedding. I think that is truly admirable.
Okay, that would be all, I hope you are all having a good weekend. We will cap off our Sunday with a last full show of Revenge of the Fallen, can't wait!

You’d be surprised how much you’ll save time and money just by ordering flowers online.
environment friendly exit signs.
I also learned that EPA suspended the ENERGY STAR Exit Sign specification effective May 1, 2008. The new EPA act consists of a new standard and minimum federal efficiency standard for all energy-consuming and single-faced exit signs with integral light. Therefore, one is assured that all of their products from January 1, 2006 consist of this new standard and policy which is equivalent to an input power demand of 5 watts or less per face.
It is nice to know that a lot of companies are investing on products that will contribute to saving mother earth. I guess it is never too late to save our only earth if we do our act together. I believe most developed countries have already vowed to promote energy efficient and renewable energy products as their commitment to the climate change protocol which was spearheaded by the United Nations initially in Kyoto, Japan. Climate change is a topic close to my heart as it was my thesis topic back in college. I know that renewable energy and energy efficient products can get very expensive on initial purchase and usage but its long-term effect is worth it. And for as long as many people support these environment-friendly services and products, the rates could go down and eventually, everyone can afford it in the long run. Now is just the right time to act and fight climate change.
Plans.
1. What are your plans for tomorrow? I am going to check on these best wrinkle creams I found the other day for my Aunts-in-law here. You see, we have another huge affair in less than 2 months and of course they want to look their best! I am the designated make-up artist for that event and I was hoping these creams would lessen their wrinkles so they'd look best on that day :).
2. Who was the last person you talked on the phone with? A Korean friend name Kim.
3. What was the last tv program you watched? Toot & Puddle from Noggin hahah!
4. What was the last thing you ate? I am currently eating Magnolia Ube Macapuno ice cream with my boys! Yum-o!
5. What time did you get out of bed today? Late. :(
Have a pleasant hump day ahead :).

Happy Wednesday!
This is just one of the rusty public grillers in the park nearby. I find it really authentic and unique :). Although, I must admit, I wouldn't grill on this and would just have to wait for the cue in the gazeebo griller :). I wish Spring would not be over soon so we would have enough time to visit it as often as we could. I have taken tons of photos already but I have not taken a video using my camcorders of my son and his playmates having fabulous time! You know, they grow up very fast and like any mother, I'd want to capture every little thing about his milestones.
