My hubby just showed me his favourite casino
resource site, casino online scandinavia. :) Looks pretty, it includes regulations and laws applicable on casino games and poker, etc. and it's kind of
educational too, even for people who don't play. Ah, he's a wise boy, hehe. ;) I hope he can win a lot of money so we can buy the new beds for our kids. Oh, that's gonna be some expense for sure. >.< Anyway, Skywarp is smart and I'm sure he's going to get off with some
good money from the games. :P I just won't join him playing at the slot machines, because I'm not good with this stuff, and I don't really like playing anyway. I just entrust everything in my mate, hoping he would win for us all! XD
Good luck honey!Labels: skywarp, sparklings

SometimesThat was
Illidan to say it to my mate last night. Can you believe it? LOL. XD I was just so tired from all the studying, classes, and the chores, that
I puffed loudly enough to get the kids' attention. Miura got up from the playing carpet and came to help me dry the dishes with a towel (darling child!) and Illidan was called by Sky to the bedroom, where my mate was watching TV. Well, after a while, I heard Sky's voice laughing out loud as I never heard him do before. I rushed in to see what happened, and I found him laying on the bed with Illidan at his side, still laughing. When I asked him what's going on he said: "
Well, I just asked 'Dan to call you to watch this program on TV, and he replied 'But mama said "Puff!" with an annoyed face." Well, at that point I laughed too. Illidan saw that I was tired and told Sky not to call me because of that, ahah. Dear little one. ^-^ Out of all the fun, it really show how much the kid cares for his mama, doesn't it?

Here we go with my
2nd post for the
Silly Monkey Stories meme! :D Hehe.
Sometimes I wonder what
Miura and
Illidan are
planning when they get to talk their own way for hours and hours. It's not like they do something bad afterwards, but I see them exploring around together, or messing up with their toys and 'discussing' the discoveries, or whisper something in each other's ear and laugh. They can be so mysterious that sometimes Sky said he's afraid they plan to take over the house. LOL! Even so, I'm glad to see them to close to each other. When people say 'twins are together forever' that's really true. :) I'm a twin myself, and I support that say too.

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.

I got the results from the
essays today:
I got a 27/30!! :D Wooah so much better than I expected! Thank you prof! x3 And thank you professays.com too for the samples. They saved my life! xD I couldn't live without online educational resources, hehe.
Today
I cooked our dinner and it has been a great time. :) It
relaxed me a lot, since my brain got its badly needed rest, and I could focus on manual activities. Also, all those wonderful smells, and Sky's smiling face as I was cooking, and the kids cheerfully laughing and playing on the carpet, calling me from time to time. Everything's so perfect today, hehe. ^^
Also, the
tickling in my joints
has ceased now. The Acura Integra girl I mentioned in
one of my previous posts (not saying her name for privacy reasons) drove me quickly to Houston for a 2-hours long repair, and in fact
I only really needed a good oil change and lubrification in my joints. Eek! x_x I have
neglected my own health too much over the last year, and that was the result. Shameful much.. I hope my kids never take after me, heh... ^^''
Soooo... off to blog hop and write up my weekly meme's now! ;P I missed them, haha!

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

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!

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*

Finally I'm here to blog again! xD YAY! I have quite a bit to share with you, and I hope you'll be
patient enough to read this post until its end ^^
On
March 16th it's been
dad's 33rd birhday. We had a great party at home, and it was just too bad that my brothers and sisters from the other Universe couldn't come over to have fun with us. We danced, sang karaoke, played games, watched movies and happily watched our
dad while as he unpacked his presents :P (oh, and I bonded and cuddled with mom too! I so missed that x3) Hehe.
Jazz T. and
Nixon bought him a Motorola, and it was so nice!
Sky and I only bought him a professional pen set + agenda, but he loved it it seems x3 Happy belated b-day dear dad! And
happy Father's Day too (that was yesterday ^^)! You're always
the best!
Last night Sky and I went to
buy something for dinner before the shop closed, and
took the children along. They seemed to have fun looking at the shelves, and they defently did when we stumbled upon my twin brother
Sunstreaker xD Ahah! He's such a cool guy, really;
he entertained the kids while Sky and I kept busy around the shelves, comparing prices :P LOL. Sunny helped us carry the shopping bags 'till home too, which was so kind of him. So yeah, after my bro left to go home, Sky and I prepared the bottles of milk for the kids and put them to sleep; then at
9PM I sat on the sofa and switched on the TV, while Sky cooked some
delicious fried seafood and prepared toasts and salad. Primus, I was so hungry! I devoured everything :D We ate on the sofa, watching TV, then after dinner we cuddled a bit before bed. Awww it was all
so sweet! x3I can't wait to get Bonded to him, really!
... Alright, this post came out shorter than I thought it would be :P Better, isn't it? I'm gonna finish my studies and then off to bed. See ya!

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
