Gia Publications for Musicians

Our technology is revolving and so are other things. Before we used books to read but now you can read thru e-books in your ipads, tabs or phones. Shopping was only done in malls or stores but now you can shop online. And same with music, I used to buy song hits before to check on new music but everything can be found thru the internet. And how most musicians are more than glad because there it's either they can teach or learn music with technology. You can try checking gia publications at wwbw where you get to learn more about music and its instruments.

Sick Again

I'm having cough and colds since weekend and until now it's giving me a headache. I have some tasks that are delayed because I can't seem to stay long in the computer. Actually, my youngest daughter and I are having cough and colds right now so I'm also taking care of her. I wanted to get some rest but I've to put my daughter first because she's helpless, she needs me.

Just praying that I'll be fine soon. I hope that my eldest daughter will be spared from this illness so that my attention will not be divided. Besides, she has lots of lessons to study for her tests. Anyways, gotta go now to get some beauty sleep (",) Looking forward to wake up healthy and totally well...

Chloe Won Again!

My daughter Chloe did it again! She won 1st place in their Computer MS Drawing contest for Grade 4 level. She also won 1st place last year. Computer paint is one of her hobbies. She also likes sketching on her notepads. According to her teacher, not all kids who are good in sketching are also good in computer. In fact, computer painting is quite a challenge because it's not that easy to manipulate the mouse.

Anyways, sharing to you my daughter's winning piece. The theme was about technology so they were made to draw gadgets that are currently being used :)

Keep on Dreamin'

Above pic is my eldest child's ideal room but I don't know if this ever happens. I thought hubby and I can start building this year but it seems our plan is vague. So many obstacles encountered so we just leave everything to the Lord. I guess He wants us to prioritize with our kids first and other matters. I'll just keep on dreaming then. Who knows, one of these days this will come true. I'll just keep on praying for the meantime...

Silver Medal For Math Quiz Bee

Would like to congratulate my eldest daughter, Chloe, for placing 2nd in their Math Quiz Bee held this afternoon at their school. She got Silver Medal for this contest.

I usually attend my child's competition at school but today I wasn't able to because I have prior commitment. Good thing that Chloe understood. But by God's grace she won and I was so proud of what she has achieved. Thank You Lord for the blessing, thank You Lord for guiding Chloe and for being there for her always.

And to my dear daughter Chloe, Thank you for everything. Always know that I am sooo proud of you. Continue to study hard and pray always to God. I love you anak!

Catches Online

Having trouble with your cabinets or doors at home or even at the office? Try to check first what causes them because it might just be about catches, the ones that hold the hinge. I bet some of you bought catches online but make sure to get them from a reliable source. There are sites that offer quality products at a very reasonable price. You can check them out and see different categories of their products in case you need to buy more items.

CDOBloggers Night 2013 and Seda Hotel's 1st Year Anniversary

The year 2013 ended with a bang, as far as my blog is concerned. I started blogging 5 years ago and at that time, it was made just for fun. This blog in particular, aptly named Cookie's Corner, was created as a personal blog and had been like a virtual diary to me. As time passed, I was able to monetize out of it, though I still continued to blog about my day to day activities.

There came a time when I became inactive at blogging but then got back into it again and found new friends online. Some of these friends introduced me to exciting activities in blogging. But it was only last year that I officially joined CDOBloggers.

I consider CDOBloggers as my new-found family in the blogging world. At first, I was hesitant to join since most of the members were younger than me, but later I realized that blogging was not about age but about your passion in writing and being able to help the community. Besides, I do look young for my age, don't you agree ?(hehe!).

Last December 29, 2013 we had a Bloggers Night Award held at the 11th floor of Seda Hotel. Present during the award was Seda Hotel's manager Mr. Lorenzo Tang. I almost did not make it since I went out the night before. Good thing I managed to get out of the house (really!), although I did arrive at the venue a bit late (apologies). When the ceremony started, I felt proud of my bloggers-friends who were to be awarded that night. The Breakthrough Blog of the Year was the first mentioned and it was awarded to Sarah. I was busy clapping my hands even though the awardee was not around due to a conflict of schedule and I was chatting a bit with my seatmate when I suddenly noticed some eyes were looking at me. It turned out that I was the other awardee for the same category--I was totally shocked and speechless, I thought there must have been a mistake, hehe! Well anyway, I felt so honored for it and I thank my CDOBlogger family for the said recognition.. you don't know how proud I am to have received it. And I hope I can do even better in year 2014.

                                               My Award :-)

After the awarding ceremony, we all went down to 4th floor to join the cocktail party hosted by Seda. CDOBloggers was privileged enough to be invited by the hotel in celebrating their 1st year Anniversary. The night was full of fun with great food and good music. And I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Seda Hotel. Thank you for coming to CDO!

Customized Seats and Cushions

If you want the couch or seats in your living room to be customized, you can visit Foam Factory cushions near your place because they have a lot to offer and they knew better what's best to your place. If ever we have a house of our own, I would love to have my seats customized and even our bed to make it look different from others and most especially, to fit the area if ever we don't have a bigger space. So, how about you, what's your ideal design?

Chloe as Lady Liberty

Chloe as Liberty of New York

 My daughter joined a Christmas Play in their school. Since she's already a member of their Choir group, all of them were already told that they were included in the play. Although she was given a minor role, she was still happy. She's in grade 4 and most of the major roles were given to 6th graders. Well, I guess time will come for her. At least for now she had an experience.

Their play was based on Dennis and Nan Allen's Christmas Hang-Ups. My daughter Chloe was one of the souvenirs, Liberty of New York. Despite the minor role, she was still noticed by the audience maybe because of her costume plus the crown and the torch she was using. Even with short appearance and with no speaking part, we were still proud of her. Aside from her role, she also joined the cast in singing so at least she still had something else to do :-)

Overall, their play was great. We were all entertained and everyone was having a great time. I salute the committee and those who were there from day one to make their play a success.
