Manilla.com

Post contributed by Hilton Miranda


Ever since we got Satellite Star Internet I have been able to organize all of my bills and pay them on-line. My aunt told me about an internet site called Manilla.com. It has streamlined my life and taken a lot of stress out of keeping up with bills. Manilla.com is basically your own on-line file folder. It takes all of your bills and organizes the balances, due dates, and history in one site. You can navigate from the site to pay all of your bills. At the end of the year it will also print an expense report. I hesitated to use it because I thought that it would be really difficult to set up. I was wrong. It has been a breeze and a lifesaver. One of the best things about it is that it is one of the only services that is still free! You can even tack and manage rewards points. Lately, it let me add my Groupon account! Who knew that the internet could make life so easy!

Toby at 10


There he is at 10 months old. Toby is growing bigger and bigger each day. He is growing perfectly. At 10 months he weighs 20 lbs which is only 3 lbs difference from his big brother Tyler. We believed that he might outgrow Tyler because he is a good eater and not a picky one compared to his older brother. He is getting very mobile, he crawls and walks around holding on to the furniture and walls. He might start walking by himself pretty soon like his Tyler who started walking when he was 10 1/2 months old.

A Challenge

 Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes

My daughter is in third grade this year. She is a very bright and curious child, and she has always performed at the top of her class academically. She entered kindergarten already able to read and write, and by the end of second grade, she was reading above a fifth grade level. Her vocabulary is extensive, and she loves science and history. What tends to hold my child back from really working to her potential is that she is inherently lazy. Things come easy for her, so she has never really had to work for much in regards to her studies. Sports are a different story! Before this school year started, I wrote a letter to the school requesting that my daughter be placed in a class with very high-achieving students. I felt that the challenge would do her good, and encourage her to work hard to meet the level of expectation that such a class might have. She was placed with one of the best teachers at her school. Although her teacher is very demanding, she has been the first one to really draw maximum potential out of my child. She encourages them to get on the internet through our satellite internet beaverton and work on various math and science websites. These websites encourage remediation of skills but in game and play settings. By allowing students to obtain practice through these various websites, different learning strategies can be employed to target all students.

Toby is 9 months

Toby just turned 9 months this month and he is growing bigger and bigger. He is learning a lot from crawling to walking by holding on to the furniture. He is eating pretty good and he is a chunky boy. Tyler on the other hand is learning to share his toys with little Toby. Both boys are now in the living room watching video called The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park. They loved watching DVD's from Leapfrog.

Scrubs

Since we were moving to our new house last August and got a new job in September in a nursing home. I have tried to search for my nursing uniforms that I have put in the box which I know for a fact that the box was kept in the shed. I looked and searched into the boxes but couldn't find my scrubs so I end up buying new ones that I could wear at work. I bought some scrubs at a nearby store and they were so expensive. I decided to check online to look for good scrubs that are worth the money and came across with this site
http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/

 I will check if I could find some good deals on scrub pants since I already bought a couple of tops. I'm on my 2 days off until tomorrow and I'm enjoying and loving it especially spending time with hubby and my two kids.






Two days off work

My two days off from work begins today and it seems that the day just go by so quickly. Me and my family went to church this morning and then we went to Delta to attend baptisms of relatives on hubby's side. It went all good. We had a get together dinner afterward at hubby's brother's house. We just came home an hour and a half ago. My little boys are asleep right now. I'm hoping they through the night and so do I. Tomorrow will be a busy day even if I'm off from work. Don't have time to relax even during days off with 2 boys to take care and chores to do. Oh well, "buhay amerika"!

New Career

Author: Joseph Sandoval

I recently decided to stop what I’m doing and decided to take up a new career. I was sick to death of the same old same old every day and my cubicle lifejust wasn’t cutting it for me anymore. I decided to become a fulltime nanny which is exactly what I’d been wanting to do forever but I wanted to do it differently…no being paid in cash under the table. So I went to a friend of mine who’s a graphic designer and asked him to help me with a new business website. I set up a nanny finder site so that parents in the area could find someone like me and only reputable people were allowed membership. I did it all by the book – went to smallbusiness xo for logistical help, got a BBB accreditation and even worked with the local police to do background checks. Business is booming and I still love to nanny although what I do now is a lot more web focused to be honest with you!
