Aloha T.G.I.F~ Renovation Completed
This week has been a busy week for us as we were renovating our hall. I didn’t manage to take any before shots but here’s a collage of her enjoying the extra space we have in the hall after tearing down the existing TV cabinet. Next week I’ll show the new TV cabinet which we have installed against one of the side walls. Now there is a big space in the hall for the kids to run about.

1. Do you have siblings and are you close with them?
I have an elder sister and I’m quite close with her.
2. Would you rather be slightly UNDER weight or slightly OVER weight?
I rather be slightly underweight then slightly overweight. As of now I am in the healthy weight range for my height but far from my ideal weight.
3. What’s your favorite State Fair food to splurge on?
We don’t have State Fairs here..but if I were going to a carnival I would say hotdog and chips.
4. What are your thoughts on your kid(s) going to school in a few weeks?
No thoughts as my kids are already in school as our school term here in Asia differs from those in USA.
5. Pool or Ocean?
Definitely the pool. I’m really weary about letting the kids swim in the ocean due to the strong tides and them being beginning swimmers. The pool is certainly easier to manage.
My questions this week
- Which long lasting Non IPHONE or Android Mobile Phone (with keypad)do your recommend? * The phone should be able to withstand drops by the baby.
- How often do you change your mobile phones?

HTC EVO phone is the way to go. Just get a protector and you it will be baby proof too. See this post EVO HTC

1) I like the Sidekick one. It has a keypad, and quite a heavy duty as far as handling goes.
2) My cellphone is changed every two years when the contract is up.

I’ve had my current phone for about 4 years…I’ve been thinking of getting a smart phone but don’t want to be forced to buy a data plan!

@Melissa,
I too am hesitant on upgrading to a data plan usage phone as hb has one and I really don’t see much use for one. I rather use the laptop if I want to surf the internet.

I love my Samsung Galaxy Android phone – it seems to be holding up pretty good with excessive Princess Nagger use (she’s addicted to Angry Birds). 😉
We have a data plan, but I don’t have it ‘turned on’ on my phone – if I’m out and about, I’m not surfing the ‘net – when I’m home, if I’m away from my laptop, I have it set up to access our wireless router…that way I’m not using any of the data plan. 🙂

I have one sibling. My brother who was six years older than me, but he’s passed on. He died early in life. He was only 43. We weren’t that close and I think it was because he was so shy, and the age difference, but I do have a step-bro and we’re really close. He’s funny, very helpful, generous, kind and just and all around great guy! Gotta luv him! Anyone else having problems getting to Aloha Friday MeMe. Mine keeps saying error and I can’t get there. Oh well, have a great weekend.

I think I finally got through last week, but it took me a while, and I think she said she was having problems. Oh well, going to have to find another hop when this happens that’s for sure sure, but for tonight I’m off to bed. I’m pooped. Had a rough night last night because of a toothache & it’s not too happy tonight either. Thanks for the info my friend. Will you stop by my blog and vote for a friend of mine. Sure would appreciate it. HUGSSSS AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
