			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exactly 17 days to go before Christmas. Girls over at mom’s and my sister’s household can’t wait to have their Christmas school break. It’s the only time of the year that they get to spend longer holiday with each other together – all 7 of them – I mean 7 girls…and their popular stomping ground…both at mom’s and my place. <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well at moms is where they get to play indoor and outdoor games and to mine for the online ones. Thank God I already had my old desktop computer fixed. I have weeks left to download new games for them. This time I might also include <a href="http://www.ehow.com/way_5491180_bingo-games-kids.html">bingo games for kids</a> if not print some printable bingo cards… colorful ones.  Or maybe take them to online bingo game site for kids sometimes to let them see and experience the difference.</p>
<p>This game had taken a long way so far being a new addition to their recreation activities during their free time. Mom will take home some bingo cards from school they can play with together on weekends.</p>
<p>By the way, my mom is retired high school teacher. But at 56 she is still very much capable to teach so she took the part-time job from the same school and this time teaching elementary pupils. Every once in a while they organize a Bingo day as fun way of educating their students. They also have started making it part of their activities on some important school occasions too like Teacher’s Day, Parent’s Day, School Foundation Days and Fiestas.</p>
<p>Bingo games are fun way of reinforcing the basics of any subjects and not to mention how it teaches the kids the virtue of patience. Perhaps there are only few people around especially parents realizes it. But it’s about time we stop looking at Bingo the conventional way &#8211; a game played by spectacled old women in large halls filled with smoke. Whether we like it or not, time is changing and along with that change comes also the advent of <a href="http://www.onlinebingo.com/">online bingo</a> sites which are liked by millions of kids all over the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I slept and woke up late today. Sun is out and the usual Sunday’s shower is ruling out again. I knew it. I pretty much wake up every Sunday with it.</p>
<p>Movie download is still on. That’s all I have been doing since yesterday other than chatting with friends on Facebook. Oh and I have watched some too at the same time. One download got completed – a supposed Adam Sandler’s new movie called Jack and Jill. So I started playing it and first saw, actor Freddie Prinze, Jr. I thought he was part of the movie so I kept watching on. Then the next part took place but still there’s no Adam Sandler. Then here comes the next… still no Adam Sandler. Where on earth is Adam Sandler? <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif' alt=':?' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Can’t keep up with the confusion, I stopped the movie and run it from the beginning and there the title reads: JACK AND JILL vs. THE WORLD (a 2008 movie).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2162" title="Jack-and-Jill-vs.-the-World-l" src="http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Jack-and-Jill-vs.-the-World-l.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="267" /></a></p>

<p>Ha-ha-ha!!! How crazy do you think was that? <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I was going to go back to the site where I downloaded it from and whine of false download info but on the second thought, I still did enjoy the movie anyway so I just kept my calm.</p>
<p>Downloading right now is Justine Timberlake’s IN TIME. Though I already have watched it with <a href="http://www.jk-nocargo.blogspot.com">JK</a> in a movie theater last month, I still wanted a hard copy of it. It should be over in less time and right next on the queue should be the right Jack and Jill movie that I’ve been first meaning to download. <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/100_8672.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2139" title="100_8672" src="http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/100_8672.jpg" alt="" width="352" height="470" /></a></p>
<p>By day, Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker) works for a Boston-based financial management firm; by night she is a devoted mother to two adorable children and a happily married wife of out-of-work Architect, Richard (Greg Kinnear). Though balancing those two worlds has its fair share of challenges, Kate generally manages to come out on top. Thanks to the support of her best friend, Allison (Christina Hendricks), who’s has had plenty of experience balancing kids and career.</p>
<p>On the other end of the spectrum, Kate’s associate assistant Momo (Olivia Munn) possesses a fear of children and a strong work ethic. Just when Kate lands a lucrative new account that will see her traveling across the country on a regular basis, however, her new business associate, Jack (Pierce Brosnan) reveals his flirtatious side and Richard receives a job offer he can’t turn down. Though it looks as if Kate and Richard couldn’t possibly take on any more responsibility, the demands of modern living ensure they’ll never have a dull moment, even if they try.</p>
<p>&#8212;- truly a must-watch movie! <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Watched it 3 times since I bought a copy and will watch again and again and again&#8230; <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday was another internet-fasting day. We have had an unannounced power interruption that lasted the entire day. How annoying is that? We all feel so stuck so I had to think of something to do to combat boredom and guess what it is…</p>
<p>COOKING!!! <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>With all pride I am presenting to you my very FIRST hash browns making attempt!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/hashbrowns.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2037" title="hashbrowns" src="http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/hashbrowns.jpg" alt="" width="462" height="347" /></a></p>
<p>Prior to this event, I already have actually searched for hash browns’ ingredients and its cooking preparation. Needless to say there were tons of them from different websites but I had to do a little modification with mine.</p>
<p>For <strong>ingredients</strong>, I’ve had:</p>
<p>6 Medium potatoes (peeled and shredded)<br />
1 Egg (whisk in a separate bowl)<br />
2 tbsp. butter<br />
3 tbsp. all purpose flour<br />
1 tsp white ground pepper<br />
Enough salt to season well</p>
<p>Preparation:</p>
<p>Shred and dry potatoes thoroughly by squeezing in a kitchen towel. In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix well. Take some of the hash brown mixture and shape into a round, oblong or maybe square thin patty and deep fry. They will usually take 10-15 minutes to cook.</p>
<p>Best served and eaten with mixed veggies on butter and egg. <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Can you spot the yellow potatoes in it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know a lot of people not only children but even adults who like having goldfish for a pet. However, isn’t it also frustrating one morning after getting up or one after noon after coming home from work to just find them there floating lifeless for unknown reasons? I have the same exact experience before…the reason why I gave up with Goldfish. That was years ago though.</p>
<p>But recently, I found out about Goldfish care – a site that provide answers to the common question “<a href="http://goldfishcarev.com/">how to take care of a gold fish</a>?” and dedicated to giving guaranteed tips to have a happy, healthy pet that will live five times longer than normal. You might have been looking for the same information as well. Feel free to visit them at www.goldfishcarev.com. Been there and who knows… I might reconsider having Gold fish again in my new place! <img src='http://www.iblogtoday.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
