Time for Mommy Moments! :D
For this custom Mommy Moments week, I chose to tell you more about my relationship with my adopted daughter
Miura.
Since the day she became my daughter, I've felt a special attachment to this little bundle of joy, something more than just the joy to have a daughter; I could say it was like a sort of
empathy that flows between me and her: we felt we could
entrust our love in each other, without fears or regrets. And so we did.
Miura is very attached to me now, much more than her brothers are. We spend free afternoons doodling together, watching cartoons, singing and dancing on music. Those activities involve her brothers too, of course! but the 'connection' between Miura and I is somehow a lot stronger and deeper than the other kids.
Who knows? One day, when she's older, she could say her mommy is her good
friend too. ^^ I'm really hopeful for that day.

First time joining the
Mommy Moments community. ^^ Sounds awesome, so here's my (delayed!) entry for this week.
My 4 children are still too small to express any talents or potentials, but there are a few hints that Sky and I noticed and that could suggest the rising of little personalities. :)
Miura recently showed us her strong interest in drawing and coloring. She can match colors on paper pretty well for her age (17 months), and same happens when she orders plates and toys in a row. She's also very picky with food arrangements: two dismatching colors in her plate can cause her to refuse the meal. It can get difficult with her. ^^'
Illidan shows hints of musical and kinestetical intelligence, since he loves listening to music and dance (he moves pretty good too), but his introverse personality and his resistance to create bonds with his new family (us) makes it all harder to understand. Little 'Dan is still a mystery to me and Sky, and we got to be patient with him.
Stormrod and
Roadstar are still too little to see what characters and talents they'll be developing into. Sky and I keep watching over and entertain them everyday though, and so far it seems that little Roadstar has much more loud voice than Stormrod. Our little Stormy (15 months) is a quiet boy, is enchanted by TV and cartoons, and you never heard his voice during the day, unless he gets called. Roadstar is only 5 months old, so you know... still too little. ;) He's a curious little one though, and who knows what a little brat he'll turn into one day. Hehe. He might take after his mommy (me) :P

Just thought it was about time I started my
Silly Monkey Stories meme :P Seeing my little angels grow up is much more entertaining than watching movies, ahah! Sorry,
no photos for this time.
Two days ago Sky and I passed the vacuum cleaner on the living room rug, and we could finally allow the kids sit on it and play freely. Well, for
Miura that simply wasn't enough! She
picked her colored markers and started adding her own artwork to the rug decorations. ^^'' Sky scolded her and tried to hide the markers from her, but she wouldn't stop crying so we just let her do at last.
Fortunately, the markers are NOT waterproof, so I will get to remove those marker signs next time I wash the rug. Double work, but what can we do? :P It's hard to stop a young artist's creative moods, ahah!

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

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:
http://www.1010adwordsqualityscore.com :)
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!

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 ;)

It's been a really long time since my last update. I'm sorry buddies, but I think from now on my online presence is going to be more consistent, as I'm nearly done with exams. :) As for my family,
Miura is learning well, but
Illidan is still aggressive and breaks all toys. I think this is because he was abandoned and is now feeling uncomfortable with doll toys.
Stormrod has grown up a lot and become heavier; he's healthy and he finally smiles more often. Such a cute little boy! X3 Sky and I are going to focus a bit on Illidan now, until he feels better and is less scared about his environment and some objects. My birthday is coming soon too, next month. ;D I can't wait! My mom's birthday comes in 2 days and I'm preparing a surprise for her, together with Sky and the kids. ;) I'll blog about it in a week. *
hugs to all of you*

Yesterday we celebrated my brother
Prowl's birthday :) It was a happy feeling, you know, to be attending to his birthday, since recently Sky and I have been skipping some because of the too much work and family duties. Plus, Prowl is a great brother, and maybe one of those I'm most attached to ^^ Still regarding birthdays, Sky and I are
thinking about Miura's and Illidan's birthdays already, anyway, even though they are still many months away, because we want their first birthday to be a very wonderful one together with their mama and papa ^^ Sky told me he'd love to buy
personalized placemats for children for the party, and two
monogrammed towel wraps and a
nap mat as presents. I thought these are very cute ideas indeed, and they'd make the kids happy, especially Illidan, since he seems to like sleeping on the floor now that the weather is getting hot, and at least he can be safe with a mat :) Miura would love the towel wrap instead, and at least these are all useful presents. Then maybe some toys, but we'll have to see about that. All depends on money, and if the rest of the family will be buying toys too.

Hello people! :) How are you? I've missed blogging, but
things have gotten damn crazy over the last month for me, so that my free time was reduced to a real minimum: University
classes and exams have gotten more intense, so I'm spending a lot of time on books and at lectures; yet, I have a crapload of stuff to do at home, including
chores and taking care of the babies; also,
pregnancy makes me sick all day and I so badly need rest xP Sky tries to help as much as he can, but now he's got a job that keeps him away from home 9 hours or more every day, so everything's often on my shoulders only to get done :( I'm still lucky because I have my brother Sunny, my other siblings and two wonderful parents who often come here to help with chores and babysitting, but sometimes I am really about to crash because of all the tiredness ^^'' So well... this morning I decided to skip a class (not an important one, no worry) to enjoy some time for myself; I took the babies out with me, to do some shopping, and they've been amazingly quiet all time :) Only
Miura talked with me a little all happy (yeah she's talking a bit! :D) So yeah, I bought a couple of
coffee sleeves, and a
keepsake school year book for my little brother
Jimmy who celebrated his 6th birthday on May 8th; Sky said we'll be buying our kids some
ID Gear Personalized Sippy Cups from an online shop, so I didn't buy those. I bought some disposable diapers and dishes instead, for when we travel. Yeah, we might go on a quick holiday on July, after all the family birthdays ;) Hehe. Now my babies are sleeping, and I'm about to go too ^^ I'll
blog hop first though, because I've missed it during all this time off :) See you!

Sky and I are planning to do something big for the kids' birthdays this year :) Yeah, because these little sweethearts
deserve the best! So we're gonna hire - probably - some
Corporate Event Planning company that organizes
Company Picnic Games. It'll be nice to picnic with the kids, and I'm sure
Miura will be well satisfied with the surprise her mom and dad are reserving for her ;) We never went for
Party Rentals before, but I think next we will. Even mom and dad will do the same thing for
my brother Mirage, who had to celebrate his birthday yesterday and he didn't because of the Holy Friday :)
Happy belated 'Raj!Labels: babies, birthdays, brothers, party

This morning I woke up early to do some chorest before Sky and the kids woke up, as I have no classes today, and I couldn't help but notice how '
bare' these floors look: the pavement blocks are pretty old (which is understandable, since Sky couldn't afford a more expensive apartment) and some of the borders are a bit ruined. At breakfast time,
Sky and I talked a bit about buying a couple of Area Rugs for the living room and the bedroom, where the floor is in worse conditions and Sky said we'll have to look around for affordable ones, since our pockets aren't so full at this time. I suggested to look for an online shop that only sells
Rugs and he agreed, saying that surely we'd find some real bargains there. And well, we were right after all: we found some real
Cheap Rugs for $100 or less on superiorrugs.com and probably we're going to buy them from there :) I really love the colors and designs, and Skywarp likes the patterns, and both of us are sure that the kids will enjoy playing on them; and at least they'll be safe. Finally, after breakfast
Sky and I went to the store to buy some food, baby diapers, baby formula and new bottles, since
Stormrod made two of them fall from the stroller last week and we were desperate then because there were only two left and he still make frequent meals during the day.
Miura's hair has been getting longer this last month, so
I bought her a baby brush and she really seem to enjoy time spent with her mama like that :3 Awww it makes me so happy too!
Oh BTW, for all the ones who have been asking to
link exchange, I'm going to add you in a bit :) Sorry for the delay sweeties! And thanks for being loyal friends. *hugs*

Sky was home all day today, which is cool. ^^ The kids love spending time with him, and I adore his cuddles too. Also, I could go to university and study there at the library, so now I got more free time on my hands.
I miss mom.. Yeah... But I know she'll come over on Saturday and Sunday, and surely I can go see her tomorrow after classes ^^ Back to Sky and us, we're thinking about
going out to eat something tonight; nothing really long because we have the kids to look after, but maybe just a quick pizza at the restaurant where we dated ^^ So yeah, time to go now. See ya later!
EDIT:// we did actually have the quick pizza dinner together ;) my bro
Sunny watched over the kids for some time, so that Sky and I could enjoy our time together. Thanks bro! x3 I owe you so much! *
hugs*

I moved at Sky's apartment and carried the babies along.
The boys are still afraid of me and prefer hanging around Sky for now.
Miura is more curious about me and tries to approach me all the time, and I must say I really fell in love with her beautiful optics. :) I know all I need to be is
patience, and to try and get help for the situation, I also started reading a book called "
The Connected Child", a book about adoption and what to do - practically - to help my new kids get integrated in their new family, and express their feelings. I just want them to feel loved, you know, that Sky and I are never going to abandon them. :( But I guess that's going to take time. Primus, help us through this all!

Just finished eating yummy
noodles with carrots, onion and tomato sauce. I cooked it by myself, I'm improving ahah! Yeah don't worry, I left some for twin
Sunny too ^^
I haven't heard from
Skywarp S. in so long, and honestly I don't know what to think... Does he still like me? :( I'm so confused still... *sighs* but I think I'm starting to really like him for how he is, how he's become. I... may... love him... but I don't want to illude myself again. I don't want to make another Vow in case... in case someone else falls for him. I mean... yeah, I keep feeling that others have more right to love than I do =_= Yah...
As for the other
Sky, the one I loved first, no hearing from him as well *sighs again* I hope he hasn't forgotten about me now that he's happily Bonded/married, because we are still friends and I care about him a great deal.
Regarding the site, I updated the "
Boy" page with a couple of contents,
Contacts and
Poems.
And now I'm off before my brother
Jazz comes over to pick up his kids. I wanna be around my nieces and nephews for another hour. See you all again soon.

These days I'm really enjoying being around my family :) My brother
Ratch has been staying over for some days with his kids, and they're all so cute. Awww! I really
adore kids! I still hope to become a parent someday, hehe. My brother's Sparklings are so sweet and well mannered, I must say their parents did an awesome job in raising them. My twin brother is totally in love with them, and mom as well, and it's just too bad that they're leaving so soon *
sigh* But I heard mom saying they'll be back in some weeks and I just can't wait! x3

This morning I woke up very early, at 5 am, to go to Cybertron at the
Iacon Investigation Center. I had been there already with mom and Ratchet Doc to acquire informations about Scarlette and her past, so that was certainly the best place to ask about that rumor... the one about Skywarp''s other Sparklings (the Skywarp of my Universe, of course! not my sweet mate ^^)
So I went and I spent almost 3 hours with the investigators to look for these informations, even within private archives. And yeah, my suspicious were right:
these Sparklings really existed, and they were taken care for at the Iacon City Orphanage. There are
two of them though, not three as the rumors said. A boy and a girl, aged 2 and 3 years old. They were built combining Skywarp''s codes with human DNA, so they were developing and growing up just like Scarlette; like human kids.
I told the guys that my mate and I wanted to adopt them, and that one of those kids was currently my sister, so they did let me have a copy of those informations and photos of the Sparklings taken at the Orphanage when they were taken there for the first time.
They are adorable... Really! They''re beautiful, the cutest Sparklings ever seen :D I can''t wait to take all of this to my beloved Sky! But I''ll be patient and wait for tonight to see him again. I miss him, haven''t seen him in a week, but it was worth of it. Because now we do
know where to find these little treasures ^^
