Wow, it seems like
my whole family is back to blogging lately. :) Well, that can just be good, right? I also read a blog post written by my little brother
Smokey about
dad and mom soon installing a Direct TV at home. WOAH! That's some big change! :D
I guess dad received his good money from the new job, because we could have never afforded a Direct TV before. I guess that'll be good even with moving, and travelling, as a
Directv service is always available via Wi-Fi to portable televisions. Mmmh... good good. :3 I also heard about this from an article about
Direct TV in Texas, where this kind of service is widely used. I hope we get a good one in Italy too.
Now that I moved out with Sky several months ago, the possibility of a direct TV is just a
very far dream still... but I hope one day we get to make our dream come true. ;) I'd sure like my kids to watch
Cartoon Network rather than the crap on current digital TV. Bleah! xP

Yep, most of you know already that
I love making origami, but I kind of feel the need to make my hobbies list longer. :) To fight boredom? Perhaps! But it's also the natural need for change that characterizes all of us, hehe. ^^
So, what about
scrapbooking?? I heard from mommies who enjoy it weekly that it can turn into some pretty interesting activity, not just to make our own photo frames, album covers, etc. but
also to make blog layouts. :D And hey! That's nice! Some of my friends in my blogroll do this regularly, and I'm in love with their blog layouts too! x3
Where can I go to learn how to scrapbook??
Please link me to some resources, I truly need them!!!

Sky and I are thinking of submitting a free
free press release to announce
our upcoming free layout and link button service. :D What do you think? May it work?
I've been practicing on layout making during these past few months, in my spare time, and Sky has gotten really good at designing link buttons. I'll make sure to post a few examples soon, so that you may see the proof of our hard working. ;)
In the meantime, we're going to write and publish a
free press release on free-press-release.com, to announce our ideas to the world. ^^ I'll post up the link soon. Stay tuned!

My
twin brother just came over and caught me one the computer and shouted at me because he says I'm a lazy 'bot. :P LOL! He can be that silly at times, ahah! Well, I used to be like that too, before I met Skywarp and we got children. So, the silly
Sunstreaker just came over to try out his new
Xbox 360; he always does that, he tries games and new consoles at my house, so dad won't yell at him if he spent money on trash. XD ahah! Well, he's bought the Xboc from a shop that was listed on ShopWiki.com, so I think he's done a good purchase, and that's not trash at all. He's also come home with the goodness of
3 Xbox games (good money spent, aha ^^). Now Sunny's looking forward to buy some
Xbox accessories next month (he's still going to try ShopWiki for that, since he finds the most bargain shops there) and hopefully some new WII games. Oh dear bro... ^^' He's such a kiddo, ahah! XD I love him dearly though, and I hope he doesn't read this last line, or he's gonna kill me :P

Sky told me today that maybe I should start using
AdWords with a $30 bonus given by my mom a week ago; to say the truth, I really wouldn't know where to start ^^'' I've never used Google AdWords before and I don't even know if my blog can be used with it. So well... I went looking for an online guide and found one, the
Adwords Guide, that seems pretty good for self-teaching. The
Adwords Guide costs $37 so it's a good deal. :) I asked Sky if we can buy it and he said perhaps. Aww I hope he lets me! x3 This thing just looks soo cool! Just look it up here if you're interested too:

P.S. Forgot to announce that Illidan and Miura officially turned 1 year old on July 11th. :D I've been a bad blogger, but I thought I owed you the info :P Hehe. Thanks.

Lately,
Sky and I are trying to save up as much as possible, because the kids are needing a lot of toys, clothes and food, especially now that they're growing up and they're needing new stuff. So, when we shop, either online and at local shops, we try to use
coupons and discounts whenever is possible. Also, we try to get as many
online shopping deals and
cash back rebates as we manage to, as these programs really make it more fun and cheap to shop. :)
Cashback programs like ExtraBux.com give us a percentage of the money we spend back, so that it's like using discounts or spending less than the usual. It's a pretty good program, and I suggest it to all of you mommies and daddies out there, who are dealing with financial troubles. Also,
comparison shopping sites help a lot choosing the right web market to save up money.
Anyway,
Miura and
Illidan are growing up beautifully, and they're going to start primary school in a few years now. Can't wait, hehe. :P They love doodling, cuddling with us, and I especially love Miura's personality: she's so sweet and caring to her brothers, and she always try to help out with house chores. ^^ What a sweet daughter I got! I'm so lucky!

It's been a tough two days, with University studying. Anyway, I found out studying on free web articles can be really awesome sometimes, especially when they're so well written, like the ones on pubarticles.com :) Pubarticles is a
Free Article Submission Service that allow everyone to submit articles for free, and these texts can then be beneficial to everyone who browses the site; also, it helps the writer get quality backlinks from the blogosphere (because articles can be republished or quoted!) and help increase search engine rankings. So you see, it's good for everyone, and to students like me as well. :)
I'm going to try and use this
Free Article Submission Service when I'm done with some essays I'm writing; I think they'll be helpful to people and other students and teachers, and they'll help me with the domain. Not bad, huh? ^^

Since my brother
Jazz got married last month, I've been pondering about
marriage. Or Bonding, as we TFs call it. Sky and I have talked about it last night, and he said he's been honestly eager for me to touch the subject first. We might get Bonded next year, even though nothing is sure yet. Anyway, Sky and I have started looking around for wedding accessories, planners, and ceremony things. :) For instance, there is a website called
OrientalPearls.net that sells very pretty wedding rings and other kinds of jewelry; since my mate and I cannot wear rings, we're torn between a
pearl bracelet and
pearl pendants for a necklace as possible choices. OrientalPearls.net is actually really enjoyable to browse, I would never get tired. :) All gems are freshwater pearls, thus pretty precious, but still so cheap that they're affordable for everyone. For instance, the bracelet and pendant Sky and I love so much
only cost $19.99 and $10.99 respectively. Here see a photo:
Aren't they so cute? :3
Overal, Skywarp and I are pretty sure we'll be buying from here for our marriage. :)
-
What do you think about these jewelry? And the site?
-
Do you have any suggestions for us and our wedding plan? ^^

1. What is your favorite shape of pasta?
Spaghetti!!! They're long and thin, and they are simply enjoyable to eat :9
2. Which of the Lucky Charms marshmallows is (or was) your favorite?
The rainbows!!
3. Of people you know who are older than forty, who’s in the best shape?
My grandfather! :P
4. What shape is one of the more interesting scars on your body?
All my scars healed, but a funny one in the past was a similar to Zorro's "Z" XD
5. Of a human’s internal organs, which you think has the most interesting shape?
Mmmh... the stomach I guess. Reminds me of a crib (silly I know!)

Oh wow! XD It's been
so long since I last updated here! And look look
Hopeblossom.info got a PR2! W00t! *_* I was a bit worried I would loose all my links and traffic when I moved to this domain from the old kono.luv.ph, and that something would happen since I switched servers just recently, but it seems like the Big G. did me a favour! :D Thanks! hehe
Anyway, I'm assisting my boyfriend (mate? bonded-to-be? =P) in choosing between a normal
Unsecured Business Loan (you know, he really trusts these
Unsecured Business Loans a lot more than personal loans!) and an
Unsecured Small Business Loans. I'd go for the small one, but the final choice is up to him of course. I just like the small business plan because it's easier to consolidate, and because I think that $750,000 as a maximum is more than enough for our needs. We barely need $23,000 :) Hehe. Oh well, we'll see.
Tomorrow I'll try to update the babies' blog and my older kids' one,
illidanmiura.blogspot.com. It's been so long since I last found the time to update my websites! Wish me luck ;)
