hayy fall is here i love it but not that much coz its means winter is next after that and you now how i hate winter,the thing that im looking forward to it is Justin is gonna be a year old,now is stated standing by his own,he grew so fast,im hoping and wishing that we can ggo back to the Philippines so my mom and relatives see him.Im here for 4 years now and didn't get a chance to go back there coz having a hard time to come up with a money.O yeah atleast have a good news about my green card I check it on their website and they send they already order a new card last wednesday Sept. 22 and should receive it 30 days,im happy coz i thought it gonna takes 6 mos. before i get it coz it said in their website that the processing takes 6 mos. so Im happy that i thought is gonna take that long before I get it,and all i need to do is wait for 1 more year so I can apply for my citizenship so i can able to petition my mom and my brother yeheeyy im looking forward for that so im not be here alone by myself no relatives or whatsoever...okey I should stop now it makes me lonely and homesick,,,,ciao

what a face!!

Well last time Im updated my blog I was talking about my crosstitch,anyway I got my pattern and started doing it for two weeks now,half of her cloths was done im so excited to finish it and started a new one.Then yesterday is my first mother's day experience fun kinda sad thou coz i texted my sis-in-law to go to internet cafe and bring my mother so I can talk to her and to she her and so she can able to see me and Justin tru webcam but she didnt reply.I wanted to share this picture of Justin.
This is the first time that he tried to ate apple sauce and this is what he look like,I laught so hard when I looked at his face,then earlier i tried giving him a banana and I got the same reaction,Adam was telling me that probably he's not used to that taste so im gonna give him some again tomorrow to see how it goes!!he is so cute little guy!!

Im excited!!!

The other day I went to other bedroom were we put our stuff that we don't actually need it when we moved in to our house,then I remember all my crosstiching stuff and all my passion into crosstitching touch my heart again so I dig the box and went tru it so I found some of the finish product that I made that I don't feel like hangin on the wall and I found the one project that I haven't finish since we moved to our town homes in kaysville and started workin to a convinience store.So I kinda thinking it better finish doin that so It won't get wasted this is one of Thomas Kinkade painting,I bought the patterns at michaels,so I started crosstitching couple of days ago but not what I used to do now I do it couple minutes while Justin was playin then I stop when he gets fussy unlike before that I crosstitch the whole day the only time I stop is when I need to eat or cooked dinner.Now I have another project that I wanted to start again I'm excited to finish it the question is when,I don't know all I know is I'm excited to see the finish product of it some of pattern that I need it for this project is on the way right now,hopefully by the time I'm done doing it we have the computer to load the picture so I can added to my collection:)

Weekend is over!!

Hay weekend is over again but it was fun though my friend came here last Friday and have fun,after lunch we played wii,darts and sing karaoke they finally went home 10 o'clock at night,then Saturday we went to park to flew a kite,my first kite ever,I didn't experience to fly a kite when I was young so my hubby got me one so I can try it,I realized that I missed some fun stuff when I was a kid but I don't know why mybe it just because I'm the youngest of the 6 kids of my mom and dad and my last brother and I was 6 years apart so he probably doesn't wanna hangout on me lol.then Sunday my parent-inlaws stop by here and visit for a while and ate lunch!

Today it's a rainy Monday here in Tooele,I love it when it's raining it's reminds me the rainy season over there in a Philippines,I missed the time when we were young everytime it's rain so hard we go outside & get showered & play running back & fort till were so cold and couldn't take it anymore lol,after that we went inside the house still watching the rain thru the window,coz over there it rain a lot sometimes it's all day everyday,and when we get tired watching it we take a nap,it feels good going to sleep hearing the drop of water to your roof,honestly it's makes me relax,too bad if your roof has leaked your gonna ended up get shower in your bedroom,roof over there in the Philippines is a lot differ here in America.Anyway I don't know if I'm gonna able to get some sleep tonight,Adams is not here again & the worst part is so windy here in Tooele that the bush outside that is close to the window in our bedroom is making some noise when the wind blow.hayyyy scarey!!!!!pls god help me to overcome this!!!

I hate it!

It's been a long time since Adam is workin out of time I couldn't remember when was the last time & now he's working down south again and I hate it.oh yeah I remember now the last time he's working out of town is when we found out that I was pregnant so it's a long time ago.this is the first time that he's workin out of town since Justin was born,I do have the same feeling which is I hate it but the only difference is I'm not alone by myself anymore I'm with Justin now.before Adam left he hug our baby and you can see on his eyes that he doesn't wanna go but job is a job and he needs to go!since Adam work in that company there's a time that he's gone to a different places and there's a possibility that thing is still always happen.sometimes I made a joke sayin that's the reason why I don't marry a military man coz I hate being by myself,I'm still not used to be being alone.I never be alone when I was in the Philippines.there's a time that me Adam has misunderstanding & sometimes I want to be alone just for a minutes till I'm okey & my madness is gone.I love him & I love to see him comin home and to be with him everyday.

Bakit nga ba may mga taong ganon?

Bakit nga ba may mga taong inggitera noh!Kung anong makita sa kapwa nila di nila matiis dapat meron din sila at isa na sa mga taong ganun ay ang aking hipag,panganay siyang kapatid ng asawa ko Kung anong makita niya na meron kami Hindi niya matiis na Hindi magkaroon siya.sa pamilya ng asawa ko gusto niya siya ang pinaka the best sa lahat,katulad nito yung bahay na nabili namin kailan lang ay walang fridge so kaming mag asawa bumili ng bago dahil kailangan namin,so habang pauwi Kami galing sa rcwilley sabi ko sa asawa ko na let me guess ilang araw Lang yung ate mo bibili din ng fridge niya dahil di niya matiis na masapawan siya.di nga nagkabula yung sinabi ko,ilang araw pagtapos ng sinabi ko yung ate niya nagpunta sa home depot para bumili din ng fridge niya.tapos pinagtatawan niya kaming mag asawa dahil yung tv niya ay mas Malaki kesa sa tv namin.di ba nakakainis!bruha talaga akala niya perfecto siya at mayaman Kung di pa nagkakanda kuba kuba yung asawa niya katatrabaho maibigay Lang yung luho niya!

"No matter how many times you blame yourself  for the things that you already done,is not gonna change the fact that you've already done,the only things you can do it now is to learn your mistake and try not to do it again! "

3,900 stimulus checks went to prison inmates
Government sent 3,900 economic stimulus checks to prison inmates -- 2,200 got to keep them

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government sent about 3,900 economic stimulus payments of $250 each this spring to people who were in no position to use the money to help stimulate the economy: prison inmates.

The checks were part of the massive economic recovery package approved by Congress and President Barack Obama in February. About 52 million Social Security recipients, railroad retirees and those receiving Supplemental Security Income were eligible for the one-time checks.

Prison inmates are generally ineligible for federal benefits. However, 2,200 of the inmates who received checks got to keep them because, under the law, they were eligible, said Mark Lassiter, a spokesman for the Social Security Administration. They were eligible because they weren't incarcerated in any one of the three months before the recovery package was enacted.

"The law specified that any beneficiary eligible for a Social Security benefit during one of those months was eligible for the recovery payment," Lassiter said.

The other 1,700 checks? That was a mistake.

Checks were sent to those inmates because government records didn't accurately show they were in prison, Lassiter said. He said most of those checks were returned by the prisons.

"We are currently reviewing each of those cases to determine whether or not the recovery payment was due," Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue said in a statement issued Wednesday evening. "Where we determine payment was not due, we will take aggressive action to recover each of these erroneous payments."

The Boston Herald first reported that the checks were sent to inmates.

The inspector general for the Social Security Administration is performing an audit to make sure no checks went to ineligible recipients, spokesman George E. Penn said.

The audit, which had already been planned, will examine whether checks incorrectly went to inmates, dead people, fugitive felons or people living outside the U.S., Penn said.

The $787 billion economic recovery package included $2 million for the inspector general to oversee the provisions handled by the Social Security Administration. The audit is part of those efforts, Penn said. There is no timetable for its conclusion.

The federal government processed $13 billion in stimulus payments. About $425,000 was incorrectly sent to inmates.

Fishing!!

Adam & I went to mantua lake earlier to go fishing at first I kinda hesitate to go with him coz Im tired & I need a lot of things to do since I havent done anything yesterday coz i have work eventhought on Saturday,I usually dont work on Saturday but one of my coworkers need a day off so manager ask me If I can cover that,which is kinda nice coz we need the extra money if I can get an overtime.So today I do my laundry & clean the bedroom & bathroom upstairs after that me & adam decided to go fishin.It was fun coz me & adam caught a lot of fish but we threw it back we just kept 4 fish & we didnt noticed the time so finally we got home 9 pm,I kinda sad though coz the bigest one I caught broke my line 10 feet from shore!!

We are definitely having a boy!!

This picture was taken by Trista,its my belly 18 weeks & 5 days & Trista made that picture I love its so cute the ways she did it!!Thanks!!

How children become bilingual so easily!!!

WASHINGTON – The best time to learn a foreign language: Between birth and age 7. Missed that window?

New research is showing just how children's brains can become bilingual so easily, findings that scientists hope eventually could help the rest of us learn a new language a bit easier.

"We think the magic that kids apply to this learning situation, some of the principles, can be imported into learning programs for adults," says Dr. Patricia Kuhl of the University of Washington, who is part of an international team now trying to turn those lessons into more teachable technology.

Each language uses a unique set of sounds. Scientists now know babies are born with the ability to distinguish all of them, but that ability starts weakening even before they start talking, by the first birthday.

Kuhl offers an example: Japanese doesn't distinguish between the "L" and "R" sounds of English — "rake" and "lake" would sound the same. Her team proved that a 7-month-old in Tokyo and a 7-month-old in Seattle respond equally well to those different sounds. But by 11 months, the Japanese infant had lost a lot of that ability.

Time out — how do you test a baby? By tracking eye gaze. Make a fun toy appear on one side or the other whenever there's a particular sound. The baby quickly learns to look on that side whenever he or she hears a brand-new but similar sound. Noninvasive brain scans document how the brain is processing and imprinting language.

Mastering your dominant language gets in the way of learning a second, less familiar one, Kuhl's research suggests. The brain tunes out sounds that don't fit.

"You're building a brain architecture that's a perfect fit for Japanese or English or French," whatever is native, Kuhl explains — or, if you're a lucky baby, a brain with two sets of neural circuits dedicated to two languages.

It's remarkable that babies being raised bilingual — by simply speaking to them in two languages — can learn both in the time it takes most babies to learn one. On average, monolingual and bilingual babies start talking around age 1 and can say about 50 words by 18 months.

Italian researchers wondered why there wasn't a delay, and reported this month in the journal Science that being bilingual seems to make the brain more flexible.

The researchers tested 44 12-month-olds to see how they recognized three-syllable patterns — nonsense words, just to test sound learning. Sure enough, gaze-tracking showed the bilingual babies learned two kinds of patterns at the same time — like lo-ba-lo or lo-lo-ba — while the one-language babies learned only one, concluded Agnes Melinda Kovacs of Italy's International School for Advanced Studies.

While new language learning is easiest by age 7, the ability markedly declines after puberty.

"We're seeing the brain as more plastic and ready to create new circuits before than after puberty," Kuhl says. As an adult, "it's a totally different process. You won't learn it in the same way. You won't become (as good as) a native speaker."

Yet a soon-to-be-released survey from the Center for Applied Linguistics, a nonprofit organization that researches language issues, shows U.S. elementary schools cut back on foreign language instruction over the last decade. About a quarter of public elementary schools were teaching foreign languages in 1997, but just 15 percent last year, say preliminary results posted on the center's Web site.

What might help people who missed their childhood window? Baby brains need personal interaction to soak in a new language — TV or CDs alone don't work. So researchers are improving the technology that adults tend to use for language learning, to make it more social and possibly tap brain circuitry that tots would use.

Recall that Japanese "L" and "R" difficulty? Kuhl and scientists at Tokyo Denki University and the University of Minnesota helped develop a computer language program that pictures people speaking in "motherese," the slow exaggeration of sounds that parents use with babies.

Japanese college students who'd had little exposure to spoken English underwent 12 sessions listening to exaggerated "Ls" and "Rs" while watching the computerized instructor's face pronounce English words. Brain scans — a hair dryer-looking device called MEG, for magnetoencephalography — that measure millisecond-by-millisecond activity showed the students could better distinguish between those alien English sounds. And they pronounced them better, too, the team reported in the journal NeuroImage.

"It's our very first, preliminary crude attempt but the gains were phenomenal," says Kuhl.

But she'd rather see parents follow biology and expose youngsters early. If you speak a second language, speak it at home. Or find a play group or caregiver where your child can hear another language regularly.

"You'll be surprised," Kuhl says. "They do seem to pick it up like sponges."

Aegis

Earlier my hubby asking me why I dont do my blog anymore & I told him I dont know Im not into blogging anymore maybe once in a while yeah I wrote something but im not gonna obligate myself to do it...But anyway me & adam have some fun today indispite of our situation & problem that we struggle right now,we went to a concert tonight with our friends Siena & Carson,the Aegis concert one of the popular band in the philippines they have a nice voice & they're so funny Adam enjoyed watching & listening to them too,we bought that ticket a month ago,after that we went to Denny's & ate dinner/breakfast coz the two guys order breakfast,our friend pay that for us eventhough we told them not to!!So its was fun & Im so glad that my friend Siena goes to that concert eventhough she's struggling with her all day sickness of being pregnant.
