GHOST OR SPIRIT?

My sister, Nequi used to work in Dubai. She rented an apartment with her friend there and they all share with the bills. My sister usually contacts us via Video Chat. We really had a grand time talking for hours this way. One time She and my other sister, Luanne who is here in the Philippines, were chatting and she took a picture of Nequi via webcam. They finished talking with each other without Luanne looking at the photo she took. When she saw the picture, she was confused on why Nequi is keeping a very ugly looking doll but since Nequi is not online anymore she forgot about it eventually. When my Nequi came home, she saw the picture and she was very frightened. She was asking Luanne what was at her back, Luanne said she thought it was a doll Nequi owned and Nequi was furious and was asking her, why will she keep a doll like that? She took a look at the picture again and she said that there were times when she was in the apartment that she felt a presence, as if someone is looking at her or is with her, now she said she knows that there is really someone there.

Here is the picture that as taken, You be the judge................




The girl on the picture is my sister Nequi, what do you see over her shoulder? Looking at the picture, even I can't help getting goose bumps......................

Bag/Purse Talk

I received this from Dee of Tales From The Mom Side. Thanks for this tag

The rules are as follows:

1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you can't go into your closet and pull out your favorite purse! We want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house.
2. List how much it cost. And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, we'd love to hear it.
3. Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the he
ck you're showing everyone your bag.

This is my Avon Oriental shoulder bag. I saw this bag from an Avon brochure and I liked it instantly. I like the color because it is very easy to coordinate with my shoes and clothes. It is also big enough to hold the things I consider as "necessities" in life. It's not expensive and that's the main reason I liked it. We work night and I don't want to risk getting mugged because of an expensive bag.

These are the contents of my purse:

My Cabrelli Wallet, given to me by my sister; myh favorite body spray for the week, my make-up kit which contains 2 eyeshadow quad, 1 liquid foundation, 1 loose power, 4 eyeliners of different color (black, brown, blue and green), 1 blusher dou, 3 lipsticks of different colors, eyepencil shrapener, 2 make-up brushes, a nail cutter, my fem spray, hair cuticle coat and my big comb; my pink-striped notepad and 5 different colored pen (black, blue, violet, green and orange); my W880i Sony Ericsson Celphone, which I never leave behind; my Company ID with the etoken and proximity card (security at the office is tight) and my lighter.

Just thinking of the stuff in my bag makes my back ache already.

I am passing this tag to Momi She, Rose, Sassy, Clarissa, Grace, Leslie, Zey and to all of you carrying bags and purses....I hope you have fun as well like I did.

Happy Birthday Ruel!

Hi guys!!! I'm so sorry I wasn't able to update my site for quite sometime, I was very busy with my son's final exams and my husband's birthday. My dear husband, Ruel, just turned 38 (he'll kill me if he reads this.... hehehe) and he invited his friend over. The party was a typical Filipino Party. (That means eating lots then booze later). Let me share some photos and video with you.

C-SECTION RISK

I just saw this article from GH and let me share it with all of you.....
Pregnant women nowadays who do not want to experience labor pains have resorted to C-section. C-section have become very common due to this plus the fact that you can choose the date when your baby is born. However, according to researcher who analyzed data on pregnancy, out-of-control-bleeding during and after pregnancy is highly common in women who've had prior C-section. The condition can be so risky the doctors may perform a hysterectomy (operation to remove the uterus) to stop the bleeding.

Here are the odds of it happening to you
