A lot of things changed after coming to Canada. Once upon a time, i would never thought i would use a used monitor or just about anything used.. but Canada changed me.. or rather PB did. In the business of used games, used systems .. and used cisco, now i am not so repulsive about using anything used or what we called back home “second hand”. Truth be told, if possible, we would do “used” everything in our business if we can. Reason..?? the profit is good.. and the cost is low.. and even if they don’t work well.. PB loves to mess around with them abit. So it’s works anyways.
I’m On A Mission Too!
I’m currently focusing on 2 missions .. and one of them is to get back the back dated child tax benefits for Chloe from the day she was born. I had called a month ago .. and Child Tax Benefit folks had told me that everything was in order.. but you see i know it wasn’t. They still have Chloe’s money from the day she was born .. till she was 7 months. They only paid us for 12 months.. and not more than that. And I know they couldn’t have had given us the money .. because i didn’t file my taxes for 2003 for i wasn’t even making any money in Canada ( not like I am now).
This morning, we hit jackpot.. and spoke with someone who knew what i was talking about and walked me thru’ what i should do next. So we will go from here. My second mission is to get all the money that we had spent when I was having Chloe.. during my pregnancy .. for we had to pay cash for everything and anything.. and even when i had to visit the pre-natal clinic on a monthly basis .. i was made to pay for a foreigner price plus doctor’s fee separate. So yes..!! money to be claimed.. and i intend to get it. If anyone of you knows me.. you know how determined i am. Wish me luck… eh ..!!!
Hurricane Kyle Heading Towards The Maritimes
Yes..! and that means.. it is heading towards us. 5 yrs ago.. we had Hurricane Juan that hit Halifax really hard.. but it missed us.. so we were quite safe here in Y-Town. Usually if anything were to happen with the weather.. we don’t get hit as hard as Halifax does. But that does not mean that we ain’t gonna be prepared for it though. So today.. we will be heading out to get groceries .. that we usually leave till Sunday to do. If you don’t see me online it means.. we either lost power.. or Aliant just suxs.. big time.. !
Apple Farm Update
I will be updating the trip to the apple farm with Chloe and being chaperon for her class but guess who they paired me with..?? muahahahha!! you can never guessed..!! I had so much fun, you would be proud of me.. if you knew how much i was walking. I genuinely loved kids.. and some i acutally watched them grow up .. while i stay rooted in this community. Certain things i’m not happy about the town, but what can you do right. I hope that the new Mayor would do something about having a drug treatment center or a better psychiatrist ward because a drug rehab will benefit the town.. but not a new municipality building.
What Do You Do When Your Kid Don’t Wanna Go to School..??
So yes..! here we are.. discussing the same issue. So what do you do when you kid say she/he doesn’t wanna go to school..?? and crying a wee bit.. and also hugging you .. and telling you she only wants to go to school.. after so many days.. with her fingers. And since 10 fingers wasn’t enough to show how many days..she had to show it a few times.
First thing first.. DON’T BE A B.I.T.C.H to your spouse .. like i was…!! i screamed at PB .. for being so nonchalant about it.. and so relaxed..!!!!! that drove me NUTS..! i hear yer saying .. “we would too” .. muahhaha!! “high five ladies..! ” Now this was on Saturday nite. Come Sunday afternoon.. PB already managed to convince the brat to go to school.. by explaining things to her.. and playing with her for 2 hrs.
So don’t panic.. it will work out.. and i read from the experts.. that we SHOULDN’T (SORRY TYPO NOT SHOULD HOR!) say stuff like “the cops will come get you” or “mama will go to jail” and do not bribe them either. Having said that.. rewarding them..is another thing eh. Well.. that was my 2 cents worth.. for parenting 101 – for first time mother with children going to school.
The Perfect Husband
Is there such a thing as the perfect husband..?? Are you crazy..!!!! it’s just our ploy.. being overseas .. to make you ppl in Asia envy us .. so far away from home.. muhahahahahhaha!!!! ok.. to be cont’d .. rushing out to get groceries. The brat goes to REAL school tomorrow.
What Is Your Price Of Fame ?
I am quite amused yet a wee bit disturbed when i see how some ppl would write the stuff they normally wouldn’t .. if they weren’t trying to make a few bucks on the net and to be “famous”. There is one particular blog I don’t visit nor read no more. Why..?? lets just say we have different values and to me it is definitely not worth writing those stuff just to drive traffic to your blogs.
It is nice to be known as the famous blogger or the blogger who makes the most money .. etc. But the money that some “famous” and “self-proclaimed” pro-blogger is actually terribly peanuts. I know that some ppl loved to be known or rather boast but what is the price are you paying for this so-called fame..?? 5 yrs down the road.. can you really face your children and say that it was alright to write all those stuff .. on the net..?? What is your price of fame..?? I think if i had to resort to do what one blogger did to create traffic and fame.. it would be a price too high. It’s alright .. if I am an unknown blogger and not famous .. i rather like the way things are.. as long as I don’t have to wake up each morning.. and wonder what hate mails I might be getting or someone announcing to the public that they are planning to chop you to pieces or kidnap your kids.
So what is your price of fame..?? how far would you go.. to make yourself or perceived yourself as being the famous and the elite…??

Some Ppl Just Can’t Take Advice
The man’s buddy was just in the other day.. and had said .. that his baby was colicky, so of course .. like any good and experienced parents/friend, we told him about grip water and oval drops. But nope.. apparently.. he thinks the baby isn’t uncomfortable and pain about it.. and that the baby doesn’t feel a thing.. and plus he had done EXTENSIVE research of it.
Ok.. buddy..!! no more dishing out advice to you .. that’s for sure..!! go ahead.. and torture your baby..! how silly can anyone get..?? to think that collicky baby don’t feel nothing..?? *slap forehead*
