I just got a bit of good news as I was about to turn in for the night.
Hubby and I have just patched some loose things up.
Our version of kiss and make up via cyberspace is another feather to creativity.
hahaha.
Anyway, it is something that will fill up pages of some next blog I will create when I have the guts to talk and share about these intimate stuff.
Google just approved my application for ADSENSE.
Hurray!
I just hope and pray the good Lord will bless this endeavour to success.
Just like Jabez, I pray for an increase in territory.
I will continue my reflections on the Simple Abundance book of Sarah Ban Breathnach. Then, I will find a way to include my daughter's blog on homeschooling and many other things.
See you soon.
Thanks for following.

Cool Under Extreme Pressure
Amazing April 3,2011
9:25 a.m.
Wow! April started with such a blast. It almost blew me out of this world. The good thing was that I was able to keep my poise and composure. Something so unlike me, the scattered brained scaredy cat me.
No... this time I was like Grace Kelly in elegance and class.
They attempted to embarrass me.
They hurt my cub.
The lioness in me...took everything in stride.
I chose to just grin and bear it first.
Then the process of justice and retribution will begin in the proper course and courts of time.
I pat myself for accomplishing such a feat when they went for the jugular then turned around and said, I was just making a ghost.
My perception was faulty.
Adding insult to injury.
I was already dealt a heavy blow and say I just imagined it????
Hmmmmm.... and so we shall see.
I still claim this month to be Amazing and Awesome...despite the awful start.
I am in the process of moving from indignation to inspiration to take this negative situation to a positive level where the light of Jesus will shine.
Let me end, this almost angst riddled blog with the quote from April 3 reflection of Sarah:
“ Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where I renew springs that never dry up.”
( Pearl Buck)

Fashion Versus Style
Magnificent March 30,2011
9:10 a.m.
Today’s Simple Abundance reflection by Sarah focuses on developing once own style. This carries over to tomorrow’s thoughts as well.
I guess the quote of Coco Chanel says it all:
“ Fashion fades, style remains.”
I never have been a fashionista.
I have never been into labels as well.
I am so much into my individuality that I want to celebrate it not to be different, but as a matter of expression.
When I was in my early teens, I ripped off the triangle label of my favourite ribbed blue denims so that I will not be stuck with a label.
It was received with much shock.
My peers at that time where into the right tags behind them.
I was not and still am not.
I go for self definitions rather than trendiness.

Comfort Clothes and What They Mean
Magnificent March 29,2011
9:10a.m.
For today’s reflection Sarah discusses on Comfort Clothes and What They Mean?
Basically it is some article of clothing that we can be our best self .
A shirt, a dress, or even pajamas that makes us feel good inside and out.
Hmmm....today, I am wearing a 20 year old shirt dress made of white cotton. It was given to me as a Christmas gift by my sister in law Wing. Who by the way also gave me this wonderful book by Sarah Ban Breathnach.
I’d say, this is my most favored piece of comfort clothes. I can use it 24 hours a day. All night and all day. Actually I just did.
It has such a cute print of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet hanging onto a huge purple balloon as they float among the blue clouds.
It has a caption that says: Straight on to Valentine’s day.
There is a 2 inch hole in the left shoulder seam...but, all in all, it still serves the purpose of making me warm and cozy inside...making me feel lovable and loving with the focus on the hearts day.
Of late, I love wearing my pregnant dark blue denim shorts. Something which caused one of the maids in the house I just visited to make a comment. She found it incredulous that I, big belly and all still can afford to wear shorts and denims at that.
It really amused me no end.
I guess, soon after the baby pops, that would be my signature style. Denim shorts will be my uniform. It is very easy to maintain. Does not stain easily. Washes perfectly.
Now, finally, I have found my everyday versatile style. Something that will require my legs to be always in presentable condition. Nary a stray hair in sight. Hahaahhaa. Talking about best leg forward...Let’s march onward now magnificently.

Clearing Fashion Mistakes
Hmmm...not so inclined to talk about fashion today.
Sarah's very lenghty reflection for March 27 is focused on just that.
My fashion statement is comfort.
If it is not comfortable it will not be fun to wear it.
A few weekends ago, I pulled out my 8 year old preggy clothes that I adore. It is a black knit blouse with a black Old Navy straight skirt with side slit.
Marina admired it so much.
I made her wear a similar theme of black sphaghetti stap knit dress with tiny silver sparkles.
I made her use her sequined muffler/scarf.
My faux pax?
I wore a nude bra that saw through the sheer fabric of my blouse, otherwise, I was perfectly comfortable.
Unfortunately, it did not get a desired comment from one person.
But, it did not affect my mood cause, I just felt so good.
BTW, I do have a baby bump.
It is big.
So why hide it.
I intend to flaunt it as much as I can.
Brace yourselves if it doesnt suit you cause at this point I really do not care what other people say...so long as I am comfortable with who I am and what I put on.

PANACHE,EXQUISITE TASTE
Magnificent March 27,2011
10:25a.m.
I woke up admiring the blue skies and the cotton fluffy clouds floating by. The chirping of the birds was so uplifting that lazing a bit more in bed was a welcome option.
Marina declared the Earth Hour should be observed every night.
She enjoyed playing with her friends in the dark driveway.
Eleanore and I prepared a special treat of siomai that made them want for more.
It was just wonderful.
Cool breeze blowing while the skies slowly cleared to show the dark night. Not so much stars but...it was still wonderful.
Today, Sarah’s March 27 reflection is on Authenticity in clothes and it is never too late to being the great person one is meant to be. Once again, I will transcribe each of her wonderful words. It is just too beautiful to intrude my insights on.
GLIMMERS FROM THE GOLDEN MIRROR
“ It is never to late to be what you might have been” George Eliot.
When I began to embark regularly on the golden mirror meditation to meet with my authentic self, one of my recurring insights didn’t seem very spiritual but certainly uplifting. I delighted in discovering that my authentic self was very well dressed and always managed to look glorious, whether the occasion of my creative visualization called for a cotton sweater from the Gap or a wool crepe Giorgio Armani suit. You’ve probably received revealing glimmers from the other side of the Golden mirror. By paying attention to the subtle signals the woman within is constantly trying to send us, we can learn how to reflect our own best image, even if our pocketbooks don’t match our exquisite taste.
Paying close attention to the nuances, I noticed that simplicity was my authentic self’s signature. Simplicity is also the key to pulling together and conveying a personal style with panache. It’s a woman of substance’s secret weapon. Think of Katherine Hepburne’s trousers in the 1930’s, Grace Kelly’s hair and handbag in the 1950’s, Jacqueline Kennedy’s pillbox hats in the 1960’s and Lauren Hutton’s white t-shirt and khakis in the 1990’s.
Understated. Elegant. Chic. Classy. Stunning.
Simplicity is a fashion statement every woman today can make no matter what her personal style has been in the past. That’s because true simplicity never disappoints. Once you learn that less is more, then enough becomes plenty, and your entire outlook on life-including fashion- is transformed.
Today, I want to ask you to consider clearing away the fashion clutter of past incarnation that lurks in your closets. Just because you bought it once doesn’t mean you have to keep it forever. Be willing to let simplicity pare down your wardrobe to your authentic essence: identify the clothes you absolutely love and can’t imagine living without. That is all. Merely consider and identify, while remembering that it is never too late for you to become the woman you were meant to be. Today you’re one step closer to her.
