I'm very excited because three of my kids will be in the play. My son plays one of the lead role. It's such an overwhelming feeling looking at your kids joining in this kind of activities. When I watch my son sings the songs, I was teary eyed. I'm in awe knowing that he can actually song and very cute too. He has quite a few musical instruments but I want to buy more for him. I have to check on the <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pages/about-us">musicians friend locations</a> so I can buy quality musical instruments.

Last year, I barely go to a party. This year I even help in organizing. It's fun. There's so many laughter. I think it is important to make memories because friends come and go because they go to different places, but as long we have memories it at least ease the pain of separation. If probably I did not go to there together , I am probably gonna be a lil bit depressed. These get together help me look forward for the days to come.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-11416506343421807772015-10-24T18:26:00.001-07:002015-10-24T18:26:31.704-07:00Weekend Days OffIt's my day-off! Not only but also tomorrow. How can I get so lucky? Well, I just get lucky like. Finally able to watch the kids' soccer game. The season started last month but I keep missing it because of my work schedule. After their games, I brought them to Denny's for their lunch. I was really happy to see my kids happy. After spending with the kids, time to help my husband. I'm going to help him work on the <a href="http://www.ovisonline.com/Corner-Braces-C45.aspx">corner brackets</a> in our kitchen cabinet. I love doing projects with my husband. It's rewarding and bonded us even closer.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-12710133431918428832015-10-24T18:21:00.000-07:002015-10-24T18:21:17.182-07:00Bag of WaterPregnancy is an amazing 9 months of experience carrying a precious baby inside our womb as women. The privilege of having that lil baby growing in our womb is an honor. No matter how careful we are with that baby but when we rely our hands to a negligent doctor during childbirth is a nightmare. When my sister bag of water broke, she went to the clinic, I assumed that she will be prepared to give birth right away, but surprisingly they asked her to go home. Unbelievable! Fast forward, the baby was born without a problem. But a week later or so, the baby had a fever and guess what the baby was suffering with a disease called infantile sepsis. Go figure!! I'm mad. So now, I'm praying that the baby will be fine but I'm going to do something about this.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-60563184323713549762015-10-03T07:14:00.001-07:002015-10-03T07:14:59.697-07:00InvestmentI rarely go to facebook to update what I am doing every second. I can't believe how many people can really do that. I even don't have time to eat my lunch at work because I end of working on some errands. Oh well, life is different for each people. Today, I chatted with my sister in law. She's about to give birth for her second baby. She's a teacher so right now she's on maternity leave. I'm so proud of her because she's thinking of ways how to earn money while on leave. One of her ideas is to put up a coffee machine or <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/chauvet-b-250-bubble-machine">bubble machine</a> in front of our house for extra income. I'm really hoping this will work because this will help them a lot.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-50075015970465815572015-10-03T07:09:00.001-07:002015-10-03T07:09:25.936-07:00SuperheroDuring my kids' back to school night which was held last October 1, Thursday at 5pm, my kids dressed up as their superheroes. My daughter dressed up as like me, wearing my uniform and her own name tag. It was so nice of my coworker to suggest in making her own name tag. My daughter wrote in her essay that I'm her super hero because even though I'm tired I still smile at home. All my hardwork is so worth it for having the best children in the world. I'm so blessed.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-17295772848203892512015-09-07T21:56:00.001-07:002015-09-07T21:56:35.986-07:00Goodbye Summer Welcome FallI must be the only person at work who haven't started decorating our house for the Fall season yet. For me, when it comes to rearranging and redecorating I also need my husband's opinion or approval because oftentimes my husband agrees with me or always made the right choice. For this Fall, the first thing I would like to change are our rugs. The rugs also help in bringing the room's more appealing. Most of the time, the rugs that I found are found online just like the <a href="http://www.rugs-direct.com/Store/nav/Nourison+b1/Area-Rugs+e/">nourison rugs</a> that I found at Rugs Direct which is the leading rugs store in the market. What I like about them is that I can have 30 days to return the rugs . If a customer is not satisfied , he can always return the item within 30 days. It is such a good offer because sometimes an item is pretty awesome in the picture but once we got it doesn't look the same. I believe that Rugs Direct is good place to buy the rugs of our dream.<br />

You would feel that way if you keep comparing yourself others. In my case, I am overloaded with problems but I don't let problems dominate my life. My problems has to be solved after I'm done with my responsibilities. What I'm saying is just because I have problems, I will be grumpy and grouchy. I'm different, I solve my problem one at a time, no matter how big it is. I don't want to spend my whole thinking about my problems because I have kids. I want them to see me happy all the time even though I'm stressing with my problems, they need to know that my problems are nothing compare to the joy I felt for having them and their dad in my life.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-60494296671003531892015-06-11T18:44:00.001-07:002015-06-11T18:44:34.880-07:00Money SavingFather's day is coming and I can't to give my gift for my father.

What's wrong with looking like her dad ,thought it would be a compliment, really this Sophia of mine, such a character.

I already booked the hotel and I think I will have the funds for this trip. I really thank God for helping my financial worries. I'm trying to solve my financial problem one at a time. But I will not let it interfere with my daughter's happiness. I already started finishing the stuffs that we will bring such as luggage, summer clothes, list of snacks.I have to check for <a href="http://www.smallflower.com/men/shave-brushes/brand/simpson">smallflower.com for a simpson shave brush</a> for my husband.

I'm concerned because what are the chances that they got my email ad when it's quite unique. I'm going to call them on Monday just to make sure. I'm concerned also that I might be a victim of identity because one time a certain pharmacy from other state because I apparently filled a prescription and they need my insurance. I find it strange and really weird. I will have to really keep an eye on my accounts just to be careful.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-27911119459848449592014-11-29T19:35:00.002-08:002014-11-29T19:35:47.779-08:00Visiting DadMy father works in Cave Junction and it is about 70 miles away from us therefore we only get to visit once in awhile. We're supposed to go today but my mom got home late. We will go early tomorrow instead. We will leave early morning. I'm hoping it will not be raining because I don't really like the road. It is very winding. I feel kinda sad because my mom will work there too. Cave Junction is a small town and looks depressing that's why I'm okay with my mom staying with my dad. I wish I could get a <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/gibson-memphis-2014">warm sounding hollowbody</a> for my dad so he will never get bored. Well, I hope he and my mom will adapt in the place and we will be able to live there comfortably.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-85644874046851209772014-11-29T19:29:00.001-08:002014-11-29T19:29:12.728-08:00Day OffIn my home my husband does the laundry most of the time. And I'm the one in charge in folding and putting them away. I love putting clothes away because it will give me the chance to rearrange the closets and check on the kids clothes and go through them and take the ones that are small. Today is my day-off and I spent my whole morning folding clothes and putting them away. It's not so boring because I watch my favorite shows in in demand while working on it. It's fun and not boring at all.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-31284028771074559572014-11-28T10:07:00.003-08:002014-11-28T10:07:56.639-08:00Getting OverMy daughter joined a tumbling and cheerleading class here in our town. The name of the group is Tsunami and All Starz. At first I was hesitant because one of the coaches seems rude but seems she's the daughter in law of one of my friends. I think Sophia started around June and for more than 5 months and she barely learn anything. I never got that chance to watch her practices all the time but my husband does. But he doesn't like it because he sees that they're not really helping the kids. So as much as possible I go and stay with Sophia on her practices and I did noticed that they're barely doing something on the 1 hour practice. The coaches seems not taking it seriously. They are talking most of the time. And yet we got more than $600 bill already, and we've been helping in the fundraising. I am thinking of pulling Sophia out of there. And the thought of how I have to tell them my concerns really me nervous because these people are so mean and I want to deal with them as nice as I can and hope they will somehow give me a break and let us go without any confrontations. There are many dance group that are nice. I heard about other group in town, I might check it out. Other dance group doesn't offer cheering competitions but also offer dance lessons just like <a href="http://www.dancedoctor.com/weddings/">wedding dance lessons santa monica</a> , and many more. I'm really hoping I will find a good dance teacher for my daughter because I don't want her to dislike cheerleading for good.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-50612969381735444022014-11-28T09:14:00.000-08:002014-11-28T09:14:33.832-08:00Budgeting I must have changed because this is the first Black Friday without going crazy shopping at Walmart. I wasn't even gonna go had my mom asked me to go with her. She has to buy Wrangler pants because to be honest they are really affordable. I bought 1 pant for my son which is only more or less $8. We bought socks, leggings, Pyrex, DVDS, and I think that's about. And we spent less than $90 and I used a giftcard so basically we only spent more or less $60 which is way much different than last year when we spent almost $1000.

The only problem is he don't have a ride when I work at night. I can drop him off in the morning but in the afternoon, it's hard. Today, I was thankful because my husband picked him. I have a friend who could give him a ride but I can tell that she's not really interested. My dad pays her money for gas but it seems like she don't care about extra cash. My dad is really generous. He give gifts like tablet, <a href="http://www.guitarcenter.com/Shure,Microphones-Microphones---Wireless-Systems.gc">shure mic</a> , laptop to us and he share his money to those in need too.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-88152296722711785832014-10-22T21:51:00.002-07:002014-10-22T21:51:21.584-07:00Long DayI thank God for all the guidance today at work. It has been such a busy day at work but nothing happen that traumatized me emotionally if I have to compare at my previous job. I know it's not right to compare but I have to be honest my coworkers right now at my second are more educated than my other job.

I'm just thankful that they are able to participate in the church choir which I think is way much better because it's free and they are able to perform in the church. I have to check at <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/resonators">musiansfriends</a> to search for cool instruments for the kids because they enjoy playing new instruments.

I must say that she's doing the right thing because all of us are been slacking with the former store directors. I can see my coworkers using their cellphone on the job, shopping while on the clock. It's been like that for awhile. But now things are being weed out slowly. Some people was talking about suing the store but I don't think it's going to work. Our store has good lawyers just like the <a href="http://www.russalleninc.com/">Russell Allen & Associates</a> that's why if I'm not mistaken they never lose a fight.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-28500614978027868832014-03-19T22:11:00.000-07:002014-03-20T22:11:22.697-07:00Customer ServiceI love mystery shopping. If given the chance to work in this company, I will do my best to be one of your best mystery shoppers.<br />
A customer wants a pair of shoe but we don't have his size. I offer to order from the other store and the customer was so pleased. I help a customer find her child who was lost out of her sight inside the store.<br />
I help a customer finding the right outfit for her wedding. It was memorable for me because I was able to help her find her dress.<br />
I assisted a customer in the checkout area by unloading and loading the products she bout.<br />
I helped a customer find the best shoes that is within her budget.<br />
I was checking out and the cashier didn't say hi to me. She didn't even look at me whole ringing my items and never gave a closing remark. That was not a good shopping experience.<br />
<br />
A supreme customer service is being able to give the customer a satisfying shopping experience. It is also making the customer felt that they are important.<br />
<br />
I maintain an online blog where I write about my personal and honest opinions about the products that I used.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-28462382302504945612014-03-02T22:39:00.002-08:002014-03-02T22:39:54.860-08:00More HoursI can't believe we lost four people in our department in just one month. The first employee went to a different branch of Fred Meyer, the second one retired and the other two were laid-off. I thought our sales are great but unfortunately our hours are always cut. I just got lucky that I get called mostly. For example today, I'm supposed to work from 3 to 10 but they called 2 hours early. This is nice because it will help me save money so that I can most likely buy a <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/acoustic-guitars/gibson">best gibson acoustic</a>.Gina leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663054049287864331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255606934636892496.post-9595325436847047602014-02-26T21:55:00.000-08:002014-03-02T21:56:27.558-08:00Mama's BirthdayToday is my mom's birthday that's why I requested for an off from work. I gave her a simple birthday party which I just invited a few of our very good friends. Her birthday was held at Gardenia Motel. I cook some Filipino delicacies.
