8 Secrets of Sexy Marriages
In every relationship, levels of sexual desire for both partners fluctuate. Some stages are predictable: when you first marry, after you have a child, when the kids leave home, when job pressures persist. Knowing this, and being confident enough to talk about it, strengthens intimacy. Couples with the sexiest marriages:
1. Remember that sex problems are sometimes red herrings. Understanding that impotence is a common problem at every stage of marriage is the first, and highest, hurdle most couples have to clear.
2. Don't save affection for the bedroom only. Couples whose sex lives bring them the most happiness eroticize their lives -- that is, they give affection physically and verbally through the day in different ways.
3. Make time for love. Sexy wives know that lovemaking is a habit: The more you do it, the more you like it, and the more you like it, the more you do it. They make lovemaking a top priority, and if that means scheduling sex, so be it.
4.Talk every day. Even if it's just 10 minutes in the morning and 10 at night, voice your love. 5. Kiss often. We're not talking a perfunctory peck on the cheek but a deep, sensual, teasing kiss. Many longtime couples rarely kiss at all, going straight to intercourse when they have sex.
6. Have adventures. Instead of sex behind a locked bedroom door, these couples make love at the beach, in the car, in the shower, on the living room floor.
7. Break the rules. Ask yourself: What ruts have we fallen into and how can we get out of them? Explore changes, even small ones, with which you both feel comfortable. Don't nix ideas automatically; instead, be willing to experiment with videos, sex toys, and magazines.
8. Learn what pleases. Know what you like and don't like in bed -- and make sure your partner knows, too.

Bubble Milk Tea

Im craving for my favorite drink and i really miss it. I worked in Taiwan for 3years and my day is not going to be complete without my milk tea "sansyu-naycha" in mandarin. Maybe its the caffeine content and the best flavor that gets you addicted to it.

I tried searching over the internet if anyone sell it here i found one place and i have to go there, so i tried their version it was ok but just cant taste the authentic taiwanese made milk tea

May 28,2008 Horoscope

Aries=You should find that you have an easier day today. Even so don’t be afraid to take advantage of a quiet period where you can indulge yourself a little. Muddling lunar influences suggest you’ll need some space: a trip to a salon or a sauna will help you to relax!
Taurus=Money matters might look a little less fabulous both today and tomorrow. This won’t be helped by a thoughtless friend, who might try and persuade you to spend what you haven’t got. Resist the temptation; be fair but firm with your friend, and above all, avoid the mall!
Gemini=A less than positive lunar aspect indicates a need to tie up some rather loose ends today. If you get busy and start addressing those areas that look a little disorganized you’ll feel a lot happier; if you try to ignore it, you’ll only be postponing the unavoidable. If you ask for help you’ll get it!
Cancer=It’s likely to be a non-descript day where nothing really happens, but because of a couple of taxing aspects you could end up feeling as though your efforts are being wasted or ignored, or that someone is riding roughshod over your input. However, later in the day a minor stroke of good luck is likely to revive your spirits!
Leo=As with Gemini, you could find that you’re over investing your time and energy into one specific matter. Pause for a moment to reassess your priorities, because chances are that you’re not being as efficient as you could be. It is possible that this one thing is holding you back!
Virgo=Matters of the heart are likely to dominate the day today, with you needing to be perhaps a little less passive and a little less unreceptive to what the day has to offer. Be proactive: draw attention to your good points, especially if you want someone to sit up and take notice of you!
Libra=Challenging aspects slow you down today, and could hamper previous efforts in a work or school related matter. You could feel that you really haven’t got the energy or the creative drive to keep the momentum going. A minor stroke of poor luck won’t help but it needs to be kept in perspective!
Scorpio=A much improved day should help you to wind down a little, although the moon could indirectly make you feel more emotional than usual. A little dash of excitement will go a long way to restoring the balance; so concentrate on having some fun at some point today!
Sagittarius=You could find it hard-going today, thanks to a few minor influences. You could feel a little more indecisive and a little misdirected, especially when it comes to work or school. Keep a list of what you need to do; not only will it provide some much- needed focus but it will also help jog that memory!
Capricorn=Communications are indirectly aspected, thanks to the moon. Contacts, letters, emails and texts should be responded to straight away, but beware of misunderstandings; it might be that you misconstrue someone’s good intentions: a bottle-half-full approach will serve you well, today!
Aquarius=Like most of the signs you too may notice an unhelpful lunar influence. You could find that you’re tempted to cut corners at work or school in order to free up some leisure time! Don’t; arrange a lively evening with some like-minded friends, but reserve the day for the serious stuff!
Pisces=Unlike some other signs an efficient and dynamic mood should kick in today, and there is also an added bonus in the form of your cash flow. There’s some good news on the way, so even if the day starts with a couple of unwelcome bills or invoices don’t worry, because as the day progresses the pressure will ease!

Hell's Kitchen

Its really a one Hell of a kitchen if you are going to work with Gordon Ramsay the head chef on the show. I dont know about you guys but i will not or cannot work with a chef like that who's always on my face shouting at me whenever i did something wrong? I have a lot of patience at work but that treatment from the chef is totally wrong.

I still feel that show is fixed. Ramsay looks like he is not that bad for real its probably just for the show

Hail storm

Hail=is a form of precipitation which consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice (hailstones). Hailstones on earth usually consist mostly of water ice and measure between 5 and 150 millimeters in diameter, with the larger stones coming from severe thunderstorm

This past 2 weeks we have been hitting by Tornadoes though its not as bad as in the other state usually cloud formation doesnt touch down but the last one that passes here is with bad hail storm, the hail are as the size of golf ball thats enough to damage the roof and ofcourse put DENTS on your car which a pain in the butt and expensive to repair.

My husband work in a car repair shop as an estimator he literally dropped his jaw cause come Monday hundreds of cars came to their shop for hail damage repair from the 30minutes hailstorm only. My poor husband has to stay later to finish the paperworks for all these customers.

Purple instead of the usual pink

Mila's Room

We decided that we are going to go with this color of our baby room instead of the pink color for Girls. We think its pretty (do you all agree?)

Went shopping today and priced the stuff we need to achieve almost the same design as the picture but still we have to hold for a while cause we are still waiting for my baby shower, cause my mother in-law wants to buy us the crib and some other friends who wants to give their gifts in order to finish the room.

All we can start right now is painting. We are excited.

Baby Mila (my-lah)

18 WEEKS 3D ULTRASOUND

Im 5 months pregnant now 20weeks to be exact. So far my pregnancy is doing really fine i never had morning sickness and hoping will never have one. This week MILA got bigger and stronger cause i can feel a lot of her moves now i noticed too that whenever i take a shower that when she leans outwards you can see her from my body there is a bulge on the upper part of my tummy, she is probably tickled by the sound of the shower drops.

I remembered a time when my aunt is pregnant and that time im still in HS I was talking to her then she suddenly stopped from what she is doing and she smiled so sweetly and grabbed my hand quickly to feel her baby but me being so young and naive that time i dont know what's going on i didnt feel her baby moved I was just looking at her like she is the happiest person in the world.
I felt exactly the same way when my baby moves.

Its very true on what they say that "You will never understand how to be a parent until you became one"

My Hobby

Origami
I learned how to make Origami from my cousin Rona in the philippines.The first 10 Months of being at home all the time bored and still waiting for my work permit card I come up with the idea of making Origami out of the magazines that my husband throw away.

My first masterpiece is a Swan it was not perfect but it makes my husband say "wow how did you do it?" and that reaction encourage me to make some more until i got my first buyer one of Gary's co-worker she payed me $20 for the swan and i start selling it to friends or give it as a gift for family members. Handmade things are very valuable to americans, they will treasure it once you make or give them one.

By the way those two example pictures above are my latest and this time they are made out of plain colored gift wrapping paper it cost a little but its better paper than the magazines.
Back in the Philippines im not really into arts and crafts but when i got bored ill give it a try its worth it!

Moving and Adjustments...

Year 2006 when I moved here in the states to be with my loving husband Gary. I never imagined that i will be having my own family in the place where i have no idea what's in store for me, I just followed my heart and im pretty sure that destiny brought me here.
I will be missing my family and friends back home for sure but i believe everyone has to move on and build their own life.

2:45pm It was snowing in Detroit, MI when the plane touched down that was the first US state i stopped and had to wait at the airport for my connecting flight to NC. I have found out that learning didnt stop from school cause i felt like im back to elementary level when i came here in the US, i have to struggle with the grammar, The people have different accent depends on what state they are from and what happen is that people constantly moving from one state to another. The main reason is Job demand, Weather or probably lovelife.
I notice the politeness of americans. Shaking hands to people who they meet, Hug the elders, Smile and say Hi/Hello to every people they see (as in every people)

WEATHER. here in NC its good and bad Good= cause we have 4 season Winter, Spring,Summer and Fall you can experience the different season which is pretty amazing oh I love the Snow and on Fall season leaves turns from green to orange. What is the
Bad= every season we have to change our clothes Im talking from 4 layered clothes to tank top its kinda expensive if you think about it.I've been here for 2years and a half i still cant get used to the cold weather.

SIZE. size matters here from XS-XXXL, back home we only have S-M-L probably we have XL now, Me being a petite im XS in womens section but i usually go to KIDS section... it sucks.. but i dont have any choice and that situation actually made my husband buy me a Sewing Machine (he's so sweet) that way i can buy clothes appropriate to my age if its long then i just "sew it away"
FOODS. 1 person meal here is good for 4 person in the philippines. Its HUGE!! I can never finish my food even if im so hungry. Had to take home my leftover all the time.

There is a lot more things that i wanted to share with you but i better stop at this point cause ill bore you guys to death.

Im excited to blog more of my experiences so, until next time!!
