Sorry, I took so long to show you all my Christmas tree this year. In fact, this year it was put up real early .. before 1st December. And you wouldn’t guess who did up my tree.. while I was in the store… hahahhaha!! i came home surprised one cold winter nite.. and the Christmas tree was up and going with lights and all. My almost 4 yrs old brat.. and her babysitter.. put the tree to surprise me.. 😉 And they did a pretty good job too. Wat you think..??

Organizing Your Movie Collection

Many people collect movies.. and where would our business be, if they don’t. We own a video store in town, if you must know. However, having said that, I never watch a movie more than once, but the spouse, loves to watch them over and over again. And his logic was .. he might have missed something when he first watched it.. so he was watching again. So you can see why we do have a collection at home. All his movies.. and never mine. But I also know of some customers.. who have huge collection of movies.. and sometimes, they forget what they bought and what they haven’t.

For folks like them and the ardent movie fan, a Personal Video Database is the best softare that was ever invented. A program that is easy to use, and helps you keep track of your movie collection, plus helps your family pick out movies that you want to watch that evening. This program is like none other that is out in the market, tried and tested and boasted by real customers about how feasible it is to use.

Not only does this program have a easy to use interface, it is relatively easy to navigate because it is not cluttered like some others. Entering new movies are easy, all you need to do is to type out the movie title or its UPC code and you get a movie description and picture immediately. You can choose from the many databases, that All My Movies uses and information provided is correct and accurate. Importing your movies from a spreadsheet is easy as this program does support it and absolutely no stress whatsoever. Editing the details of many movies at one go using their mass plugin is a very using editing tool.

With all the above, they also provide great customer service and support. Expect questions to be answered and helpful suggestions ready for you. Easy to download, at just $34.95 and if you are currently using another competitor’s software and changing over, you get an additional 25% discount for the switch over. Great Christmas/birthday/graduation gift for just about anyone who loves their movies.

Alot of my friends and blogger friends .. knows that for every birthday.. my MIL makes the birthday cake. And this year .. it is of course no difference.. for PB. This is the birthday cake that my MIL made for PB .. without the recipe.. because i had her recipe.. muahahhaahha!! The “ang mohs” are great bakers .. i’ll have to say. You all know that my FIL makes the best chocolate and peanut fudge right..?? I wished i can send some to all of you to try. But i guess . .only Vien will be able to try it.. because she is the nearest to me.. 😉

A Very Thoughtful FIL

Last weekend.. when we visited my in-laws.. PB was saying since Helena.. is not in town.. but somewhere in Mexico vacationing with Godma Lynn, he supposed the living room is gonna be cold. Usually Aunt Helena would built a fire when she knows that the brat is coming.

Well.. guess what..?? Last Sunday.. my FIL had 2 fires going .. 1 in the kitchen.. and 1 in the living room of Aunt Helena’s.. because he said.. we always head out to Helena’s as soon as we visit.. muahhahahaha!!! How thoughtful is that..?? i gotta snooze.. in Aunt Helena’s last Sunday.

French Doors

If you know Canada.. you will understand.. the need to keep warm .. especially when you have a lil’ brat running around.. and of course you cannot ask of the brat to stay only in one room for hours.

We had bought a french door about a few weeks ago, our this year’s renovation plan.. to keep the heat in the family room.. so we donch have to pay exorbitant prices for heat. After buying the french door.. we couldn’t find a carpenter who was available. Now you would think being winter.. carpenters would be killing for some sort of jobs.. but nope.. not in this town.

Finally got a call this afternoon for one.. and he is going to help us fix up the french door tomorrow..! no more cold TVB nites.. anymore..!! woohoo..!!!

Mee Pok & Fish Cake

We brought back some mee pok and fish cake.. to make our own “kon low” noodles. The brat loves the noodles.. but refuses to eat the fish cake. If you donch know by now.. we donch have fish cakes nor mee pok here. So i was trying to stock up .. when i was in the city last week.. but the asian grocery store didn’t have alot to offer either.. ! what a bummer..!! The mee pok was great.. and i still have some left. So Barb.. this is what I brought back.

International Adoptees

Changes will quickly be implemented for those adopting a child, whether in China or anywheres else in the world. After December 22, 2007, foreign-born persons adopted by a Canadian citizen before February 15, 1977 who wish to apply for citizenship must first obtain permanent resident status in Canada and then apply for citizenship. Quite troublesome, if you asked me.. this 2 step procedure for the parents.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday..PB ..!! And many happy returns of the day..!! I hope. .muahahahah!!

PB is 35 today.. and having started his business some 9 yrs ago.. that would have made him about 26 yrs old… and he has come a long way.. from being that “shy” and “I donch wanna talk” guy .. to a somewhat established and smart businessman.

I think the most successful thing in his life is probably taking on the role as a daddy. In fact, he has done so much for the brat.. you wouldn’t believe .. how much he has changed because of her. Yes.. he loves the brat alot..! And as much as I hate to say it.. I feel he is more logical with her.. when explaining things to the brat .. like why she shouldn’t be doing certain things.

Yes.. you’ve come a long way.. PB ..! And Happy Birthday .. and many more to come..! There is nothing .. I can buy for you .. that you donch already have… but I gave you the greatest gift.. of all.. CHLOE..! she is your legacy..! She will be .. what you want to leave behind for the world to see.. who you are.

Heading Out To See Grampie

Chloe hasn’t seen Grampie for about 2 weeks now.. so even though we have loads to do.. shopping.. and cleaning the house.. and setting up Christmas stuff.. we are gonna head out and visit Grampie.. so that the brat can go have some bonding time with him. Grammie comes babysit on Tuesdays.. so no matter what .. she get to see the brat for a few hours… and do stuff with her. The problem with Grampie is .. he doesn’t like coming into town.. so it makes it hard.. for the brat to constantly bond with him.

Tightening The Belt

You all know that I was up in the city for a few days.. to eat all the food i can get to eat.. that i normally cannot find here.. and to do asian grocery shopping as well. So the days leading to my trip (one has gotta save up right) , I had to eat really, really carefully.. since i was saving all my money for my city trip. Yes.. that was what i had for breakfast, lunch and dinner… because I’m that poor..! muahhahahha!! And they didn’t taste too bad either. So for those who are saving for trips/vacations.. you can eat like me.. 😉 10 cents a piece for them. But you’ve gotta buy them in bulks.
