My daughter was only six months old when we went Washington dc sightseeing. This was one of our most memorable vacations as a family, mainly because it was also our very first time to take our baby on a long drive (eleven hours!) and, surprisingly, it was a relatively easy one! We knew right then that our little girl was destined to be a traveler - just like my husband and I.

My baby and I at the Lincoln Memorial.

After browsing through online travel guides, we decided that our first stop would have to be the National Mall (which the shopaholic in me first thought was a shopping center! Imagine my disappointment, hehe!). We had our customary pictures taken at the Capitol Building, the Smithsonian, the Washington Monument, and the White House. We also met up with my college friend, John, who then acted as our city tour guide.

As the Fourth of July weekend looms, we are already planning for our long weekend jaunt. Having recently moved here to Georgia, we are looking for things to do in Atlanta that we haven’t done before. How about you? Have you already made plans for the weekend?

By the way, you should also sign up for the Trusted Travels eNewsletter for a chance to win a handheld GPS, like I did. Trusted Tours and Attractions offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America. Hurry, their offer ends June 30th.

Sa darating na pasukan, ang aking anak ay sasabak na sa makulay na mundo ng pag-aaral.

Nawa’y makapag-uwi siya ng mga matitingkad na kaalaman, kahit paisa-isa, na magbibigay kulay sa kanyang buhay, mula ngayon hanggang sa kanyang paglaki.

Magbilang mula isa hanggang isang daan DITO sa aking isa pang LP entry.

Years ago, I drove a van that had no power steering. Whenever I had to make a U-Turn or a three-point turn, my mom (or whoever the passenger is beside me) would have to help me turn the steering wheel to the left or right because it was so heavy! Which is why I appreciate having power steering not only for the sake of comfort but mainly for easier maneuverability and safety.

At that time, in order to install power steering on a car, car owners would have to go to the dealers. Not only was it pretty inconvenient, it was also pretty costly. Now, via Power Steering Pros, the public has access to the highest quality power steering racks,
steering boxes, and pumps at affordable prices.

This tag is from my mommy friend, Maricris, who has just recently discovered the joys of blogging, hehe.

My answers are going to be pretty hypothetical, mainly because I’m a sahmmy and the answers call for “work-related” somethings. Also, I used the title Sleeping Game because its so hard to spell the other title, its almost akin to having mesothelioma, haha!

Thanks, mother!

:: Copy here

*These are “true confessions” galore. Promise to seal your lips (”,) . Erase the previous answer from the tagger and put your answers in place. Post it in your blog and tag someone else, then Click here and post your link on my site so I can compile your answers and see what we all come up with. Then we can play family feud - just kidding ! - Thanks! - MG

The Sleepedemicauliflowericious tag game.

What would you do :

1. If you catch your officemate sleeping at work?
:: Stick a post-it on his forehead with the words “Do Not Disturb, Under Productive Hypnosis”.
:: Or if I’m not very fond of my officemate, I would staple his necktie to the desk, hehe.

2. If your officemate went to have his haircut using company time?
:: Compliment him/her very very loudly about his/her new hair as soon as he/she comes back to work, preferably within earshot of the boss, hehe.
:: However, if I like my workmate, then as with MG, a caffeine bribe would do.

3. If you’re so tired you can’t do anything but browse the internet (blog) all day?
:: There’s always AIDS (As If Doing Something), hehe.

:: End Here ::

I am tagging the following working girls: Mamah, Mel, and May.

Already preparing for Halloween? Are you already thinking about a great costume to wear and where to get it? Then do not visit this site for Halloween costumes. There is really nothing nice or unique about the costumes that they sell. Of course, they have the usual vampire, pirate, renaissance, elvis, doctor, fireman, and what-have-you Halloween costumes that I’m sure other costume stores also carry. They also have the usual cute Halloween wear for your kids and toddlers - those plush, furry, frilly dresses that are guaranteed to give your kids an allergic reaction, or emotionally scar them for life.

What’s more, they have a line of sexy costumes that will never fit anyone. Could you imagine me wearing something like this?

I’m sure anyone who sees me will try to find the largest possible boot or shoe he or she can find in order to squash me - that is if anyone will be able to recognize me as a ladybug at all. If someone with a french fry comes running after me, we all know that I succeeded in looking like a huge walking blob of ketchup (with wings).

And God forbid that my husband should wear something like this.

That’s definitely scarier than any bloody, smelly, zombie costume any halloween store could come up with. No self-respecting man would ever wear a tutu, let alone with leather shoes.

I know that Halloween is supposed to be a time when each one of us, yes, including us adults gets the chance to dress up as anyone and anything without the neighbor pointing their fingers at you or giving you funny looks. Costume stores like the Costume Cauldron definitely have every kind of costume you can think of and more no matter how tacky it is. However, Halloween does have a way of lifting our spirits by unleashing the side of our personality that we keep hidden for the rest of the three hundred sixty-four days in a year. Give or take.

So ok, even if the Costume Cauldron is like any other costume store out there, I know I can still get these costumes for me and my family and be the coolest condiments (and dog) on the block.

I am one of Toni’s Sparkly Friends! :)

She even sent along this cutie little strawberry shortcake sparkly badge. Thanks, Toni! (And thanks, too, for calling me Hot, haha!)

But wait, I am also Pinky’s Sparkly Friend!

To keep this meme going, I’m tagging 5 of my new TagBuddies: Sheng, Jules, Maricris, GMirage, and Willa.

Here’s my sparkly badge for you, my sparkly new friends! It’s actually the same one which I shared HERE but, as all chocoholics like you and me know, we could never get enough of ‘em, right?

Have fun! :)

I don’t think it can get any more “outdoors” and “great” as this.
