Halloween 2008

look at our hair style? Isn't that cool?! I was a blondie for 3 hours. I kinda thought I look weird since I'm asian. Isaac looks totally hot as you can see :-) Anyway, we had a happy halloween!

Amazon Kindle

I watch Oprah almost everyday.Yeah, Im a big fan. Anyway, today's show was very interesting to me. First, the quartet "Il Divo" (italian for "divine performer") sang "Amazing Grace" in her show and it was truly amazing! I like operatic pop. My taste in music is different from Isaac. I listen to pop, reggae and R&B but more often that not, I prefer music that soothes my soul. Kinda like music you hear from the spa. It's not the kind of music to listen to when you're driving though.
2nd, Oprah Winfrey also unveils her favorite gadget in today's show and it's absolutely cool. Meet the Amazon Kindle.It's a wireless portable reading device with instant access to more than 190,000 books, blogs, newspapers and magazines. Oprah looks at it as an environmentally friendly investment . It costs $359. Expensive! I can't afford it right now but I wish santa will get me this gadget for Christmas.

The pumpkin man!

We were at the Schaefer's yesterday.The pumkin man/ scare crow caught my attention. So we took some pictures.Pretty cool huh?

Latest update from our family in the Philippines and Australia

I got an email from my sweet sister Carla (we used to pull each other's pigtails when we were little by the way..hehehe) Here are some updates from her. She actually sent me a long letter. But here's a summary and I'll add a little bit too...
Let's start from the Oldest to the youngest..

Mama Mia (my mom)- Is getting married!hehehe.Just kidding. Anyway, my Mom is planning to be a temple worker after Joseph's (my younger brother) mission

Temblor family- Jun(my bro-in-law) just won an award given by Yamagata Foundation in cooperation with ACE. He was 1st Runner Up in the 2008 Enterpreneur Academy Awards. We're all very proud of him. Way to go!!! Carlo, DJ and Crystal are doing great! Crystal is a miniature barbie doll. Bambi needs to give away some of her handbag collections to me :-)

Ho family from down under- Jazmin (my niece) has an Aussie accent now and Kay(my sis) & Jaz might come home June '09 so a mini reunion is being planned. Carla wants Boracay, Mom wants Palawan but we'll still ask Bambi(my sis) because we all want her to finance it... ha ha ha...

Santiango family- They're fine. Patrisha( my niece)can read now and has just declared that her new name is Patty.Cute! She's still a picky eater with the energy of a dynamite. Carla (my sis) is still a trendsetter as always.

Carlos Jr- Is dating a nice girl and he actually reffered her to the missionary. Keep up the good work bro!

Joseph- Is on his mission right now and is currently an office Elder. He's going to hit his one year mark in 3 months.

High School Musical 3

Yes! I have watched High School Musical 3 today! I'm a little too old for that movie but I must admit that it was a cute movie.I got a day off from work today and since I have nothing to do aside from teaching piano later in the afternoon, I took my niece with me to watch that movie with quite a few kids from church. It was pretty fun!The kids had a blast! And since I haven't watch the 1st the 2nd one, they insist that I should watch it coz I'm missing out something. Kids ages 5-10 actually think that I'm out of this world because I didn't know Zack Efron. I think it's hilarious! At least now i know him. Apparently, he's the newest matinee idol. Go figure! And yeah, Vanessa Hudgens is the cutest! What can I say? She's half filipina :-)

Early fall in Mizzou!

Kansas City Temple

We are getting a temple soon. It's only 20 minutes away from our home. I was filled with joy after hearing the announcement for the greater Kansas City temple. What a great blessing to have a temple so close to where we live. It will be built in the Shoal Creek Valley area. That's all the information I know so far but I will definitely write more next time.
