New Friend and LDS Conference

I had a great time walking and talking with my new friend this week. I had the chance to get to know her better and vice versa. I will not get bored anymore since we live close to each other and we both have boys that belong to the same class. Our son enjoy each other's company and so are. we :-). Today, the kids will be dismissed early today due to the State Fair. Though we don't have any plan on going there this year, we still want to get ticket for Jacob since we sometimes change our minds :-). Anyway, the Annual LDS general conference is going to convene this weekend and hubby and I are both excited. We get the chance to hear messages from the modern prophet of the Lord.

She Was Very Mad!

This afternoon, I went to Jake's school to help his teacher with the Math subject. As I walk along the hallway, I can hear his teacher very upset and yelling to the kids in her class. She was telling the kids that she is not a babysitter, but a teacher instead which is very true. But to me, that doesn't give her the right to yell on the children. She doesn't have patience at all! I wonder why she qualified to teach. I have done many volunteer jobs at my son's school and never seen such behavior. She is abusing the children verbally and that shouldn't be acceptable no matter how bad the children's behavior may have been. She couldn't handle the kids as well as her job. When it was time for the kids to go home, she wasn't even done putting stuffs in the children's take home folders. Had I not helped her, the kids would still be there waiting. This is the second time I witnessed her bad behavior and bad temper. These children don't deserve such treatment. Could it be the reason why one of Jacob's classmate, Brant transferred to another school? I couldn't wait till the school is over so my son wouldn't put up with her bad behavior anymore. Anyway, when I asked Jacob what made her very upset with? He said that one of the boys did something and because of that, the boy didn't get a cupcake from one of the boys birthday. It wasn't fair, was it? Oh well, hope parents will see how bad this teacher is and file a petition to remove her from teaching. This teacher needs a lot of training on how to handle children's behavior. I have taught children ages 18 months to 8 year old at church and was able to handle different behavior successfully. It takes patience, love and understanding to teach these children. And this teacher doesn't have any of these. I want my son to learn at school not to lower his self esteem. For now, there is nothing I can do, but pray for this woman to realize how precious these children are and that they need to be treated with love, patience, kindness, gentleness, and understanding.

Gone Fishing on Labor Day

On labor day this weekend, we went for fishing in one of the many lakes in Texas and one of them is found in Crandall, not far from where we live. We got there at 10am and the place was full of people already; some are swimming, fishing, boating, and other were there for a family picnic. We didn't catch not even a single fish, if you will ask :-); we ate the foods we brought with us and after that went for a drive on the countryside. Anyway, here are few photos I have taken while there.

Some Hispanic people busy preparing their foods close to the swimming area.
We were on the other side were people fish with their small kids.
After an hour of fishing, hubby finally sat and relax.
Jake with his fishing pole...fishing of course!
Preparing their fishing poles by putting baits.
And of course a posed with Mommy :-).

Purchase a TotalProtect Home Warranty Plan for Less than the Cost of Replacing a Major Appliance

This is a sponsored guest post written by Total Protect Home Warranty on behalf of Total Protect Home Warranty. Post powered by Sponzai.

If the compressor in your refrigerator went out today through no fault of your own and you needed to have the refrigerator repaired or worse, if you needed to replace your refrigerator altogether, would you have the extra cash lying around to have the necessary repairs done? Just having the compressor repaired would cost you a few hundred dollars when you add the labor costs together with what the part will cost. If the refrigerator itself had to be replaced, that would cost you upwards of $1,000 or more, and that kind of cash at a moment’s notice isn’t readily available to most homeowners on a tight budget.

There is a solution to how these types of emergencies can be handled in a way that won’t break the bank and will give you some idea of what your monthly outflow of money is so that you aren’t faced with a huge repair bill that you can’t possibly afford. The TotalProtect Home Warranty is a home warranty plan that allows you to purchase the warranty for a lot less than it would cost to replace that refrigerator.

For the few hundred dollars a year it costs to purchase a TotalProtect Home Warranty, paid up front or in monthly installments, you can ensure that if something breaks in your home, you won’t have to come up with emergency cash to fix or replace it or worse, you won’t be faced with going without that item until you can come up with the repair money.



Why take a chance of something breaking down leaving you at the mercy of an unknown repairman who will end up charging you for parts, labor and a service call when, with a TotalProtect Home Warranty, once you pay your annual premium, the only other money you will pay to have the problem fixed is a service call fee (some additional costs may apply according to the terms of your contract). When you weigh the options, there really is only one smart choice — TotalProtect Home Warranty.

My In/Outdoor Plants

Both Hubby and I love indoor/outdoor plants for they not only beautify your home, but also filters the bad odor inside inside it. Aside from the these plants photo, we also have african violet, geranium, aloe vera, orchids and fern. Outside are newly re planted mums which are great for fall season, crape myrtle and mini roses. And every time I see these plants it makes me fell good. Anyway, what about you? Do you have fave flower plants at home? Share them with us if you don't mind :-); we'd love to see them, too!

Imagine Just One Hot Summer Day without Air Conditioning

This is a sponsored guest post written by Total Protect Home Warranty on behalf of Total Protect Home Warranty. Post powered by Sponzai.

Most people don’t give the condition of their air conditioners a thought before the first hot day is upon them. They just switch them on fully expecting them to hum into service without a glitch, and normally, that is what happens. They are happy to have the cool air coursing through their homes without a care in the world.

But sometimes, the unimaginable happens. You go to switch on the air conditioner one hot summer day and nothing. You may curse, you may cry, you may even kick the unit fully expecting it to spring to life for you at your bidding but no, it is not going to cooperate, and you are stuck with trying to figure out what you are going to do about the problem.

Not to add insult to injury, but that tiny little voice inside your head that told you that you should have taken your neighbor’s advice and called TotalProtect Home Warranty to sign up for a home warranty on the major appliances in your home really isn’t helping matters at this point. All you can do now is open the phone book and hope to find an air conditioning expert who will come out to your home immediately and fix the unit. This may end up costing way more than it would had you acted on your neighbor’s advice and called TotalProtect Home Warranty.

Let’s rewind. It is spring and you are having a conversation with your neighbor about how summer is just around the corner and is your air conditioner in good operational order? He tells you about the home warranty plan he just purchased from TotalProtect Home Warranty and how it is giving him peace of mind knowing that if anything goes wrong with his air conditioner or anything else major in his home, help is just a phone call away.

You take your neighbor’s advice, call TotalProtect Home Warranty, and when summer does arrive, you know that you are prepared for the full brunt of it and with extra money to spend on your family not on costly air conditioning repairs.

Quotable Quotes

I love quotes. They help me in every in every thing I do. They strengthen me, motivate me, and help me becomes a better person just like the scriptures do. Quotes from famous spiritual leaders, poets, leaders of nations, and most of all from prophets of God are the thoughts that we need to seek after for they will lead us o where we want to be, and what we want to become as an individual, mother, wife/husband, neighbor, friend, daughter/son, and a citizen of the nation. Here are a couple of my favorites:

"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, and a beautiful thing." ~ Mother Teresa ~

"Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference." ~ Emil Ludwig ~

Trent Jordan’s Vancouver like No Where Else on Earth

This is a sponsored guest post written by Trent Jordan Vancouver on behalf of Trent Jordan Vancouver. Post powered by Sponzai.

Vancouver, a city extraordinaire, offers a summer program for tourists and residents alike that is one-of-a-kind. Bard on the Beach is recommended by Trent Jordan Vancouver’s ultimate guide as one of the best programs in the city. Bard on the Beach is a not-for-profit professional Shakespeare Festival that offers plays by the Bard, related dramas and special events in two performance tents on the waterfront in Vanier Park.



With the combination of Shakespeare’s plays and the natural backdrop of the sea, sky and towering mountains, Bard on the Beach aims to make Shakespeare accessible to a wide audience and promote enthusiasm for his work. Along with Stanley Park’s Theatre Under the Stars and the Enchanted Evenings concerts at Dr. Sun Yat Sen Chinese Garden, Trent Jordan’s Vancouver has a tradition of outdoor attractions.



Four plays are presented every season which is from June to September. Two are performed in the Main stage tent which has seating for 520 and two in the smaller Douglas Campbell Studio Stage tent which seats 240.



Another Trent Jordan Vancouver recommendation is the Bard-B-Q & Fireworks for a good cause. Along with Shakespeare, a delicious dinner of barbecued salmon is served during an extra long intermission and special seating for the Celebration of Light fireworks presentation. This is a joint fundraiser for the HR MacMillan Space Centre and Bard on the Beach.



This fantastic entertainment is also an excellent learning experience for Vancouver students studying Shakespeare. Students and teachers as well as anyone with a passion for Shakespeare can participate in performances, workshops, downloadable resources and special events all connected with Bard on the Beach.

Nostalgia: Jake's First Taste of Cotton Candy

This one of Jacob's milestone that I like a lot. His first taste of cotton candy. He was one year old here and was very much looked like his Dad :-);and the lady holding her was his nurse when he was at the NICU for a month. She adores him for he said he is not only cute, but also very a quiet baby for he hardly cry at all. Anyway, this was taken at Medical City-Dallas where Jake was borne. We attended the events specially for the premature babies who stayed at NICU.

Little Jake with his nurse...
with the clown...he looks very curious on what was going on.
The cotton candy and him...
and then, the proud Dad :-).

The Truth About the Hostage

I got this online and all of a sudden became confused of the real reason why the Filipino ex-cop, Mendoza was a victim or guilty of the crime the authorities accused him off. This claims that this is what really took place inside the bus he had hostage few weeks ago. Read and be the judge whether it is true or not.

Mr. Mendoza was already upset even before he saw on television what the policemen did to his brother. The other tourists who remained inside the bus were complaining. Wei Ji Jiang wanted to go to the bathroom. Dao Chi Yu was hungry and the rest were just groaning and whining like they have forgotten that our lives rest in Mr. Mendoza's hands. The hostage taker, as you know him was really nice. He treated us okay and even let the elders and the children leave the bus. He said your policemen treated him unfairly. He was a policeman too and was accused of doing something he had no knowledge of. But your government didn't listen so he used us to get everyone's attention. Things would have never turned for the worst if he didn't see how his family was dragged out of their house and taken into custody. He was watching the news all the time as we huddled around each other behind the bus. He shouted some words in your language then started shooting in the air. A girl about my age started screaming. Mr. Mendoza demanded her to stop but she didn't understand English. God, he had to slash her neck with a knife just to put her to rest. Her boyfriend who tried to hit him was shot in the head. Tension was rising. You can see in his face how scared and confused he was. The bus driver ran away leaving him alone with strangers from a distant land. I can see him walking across the aisle, sometimes pointing his machine gun to one of the tourists. But he tried his best not to hurt us, especially those who really cooperate. I guess its in your nature not to inflict pain on others unless it was necessary. I remember him saying that he will free us before sundown and implored us to forget everything when we return home. But his words don't matter now. The policemen were trying to force their way in, while we all lied down to shield ourselves from bullets. Mister Mendoza blindly shoots at his enemies which I think kept them from rescuing us. I hear sobs under the chairs. Some were even shouting the names of their loved ones even when the air merely eat their words. Kevin Tang tried to escape when the glass door was was shattered, but one shot and he slumped on the floor with blood gushing from his mouth. Heavy rain pitter-pattered on the rooftop. In old Chinese saying, it means an end to a struggle. Finally, somebody was able to open the escape hatch at the back of the bus. Freedom. But I knew Mister Mendoza was still alive. I knew he was just waiting for a chance to strike back at his enemies. So I told those around me not to escape. Let the authorities come for us instead. Then there was gunfire. He was firing at his enemies with a machine gun. Those who were at the escape hatch fled abandoning us once again. It's like a nightmare with no end and to wake up means a certain death. Then somebody from outside the bus threw a canister. It forced out a black smoke that is so painful to the eyes and putrid smelling to the nose. People started screaming. We cannot breathe. Some ran in front of the bus but Mister Mendoza warned them of stray bullets. It was too late. One was hit on the head, the other was hit on the shoulders. Bullets were now flying. Its like the authorities thought we were all dead. Mister Mendoza finally admits his mistake and said sorry to everyone, dead or alive. He then ran towards the front of the bus where he would meet his maker. As he passed by my chair with bullets whistling overhead, I clutched my hand on the velvet curtain and wrapped it around my face. All I could think of was to stay alive - for my child who is waiting for me back in Xinjang.
I know I will survive, I will come home.
