I have decided of late that I don’t want to indulge in the fitness activity I am currently into. I think I just want to do it at home with the help of this fitness equipment. I have heard a lot of success stories from people who has been doing it at home and I am truly inspired. If they can do it, then I can too. I have started it actually like a couple of weeks ago already, though not a regular thing right now because of issues I am involved in, but hopefully I will be able to come back.
I dreaded this day to come, not because I can’t accept the fact that I’m turning a year older. There’s actually so much to be thankful for, for one it was another year that I got to spend with the kids, my joy and pride. Second, I am blessed with good health…and so much more.
I spent it at a very unusual manner, quite sad but if I think about it now I am still very happy coz I am now definite of one thing important in my life. Yes technically I am 43, but deep in my heart I am only 42 for the day has stopped on the 18th of June.
I love visiting beautiful houses and it’s a never ending admiration. I tell you it does not stop there. I still buy magazines, again to appreciate all that I see and at the same time get ideas. Lately there’s this website about home design that I frequent. I love all the suggestions I read, I love all the pictures they post, I love the idea, in other words I love the website. Everything they feature from wall decors down to beds to furniture…everything is just awesome. Everything is unique, a lot of items I’ve been seeing for the first time. They always come up with something new to put in your house. There’s a lot more you will discover when you visit this website. They have cool tips, something really useful. They also feature things that make your homes beautiful without hurting your pockets. Now you are probably seeing already why I talk so much about this website. And I bet you already have developed a likeness for it too. If you love to decorate and fix your homes, then get ideas from it. These are not just some ideas…it’s awesome ideas, something beyond your imagination, something that is always new to you, something that you see first time. I am just happy to have found this blog, even if I don’t get to go out much, at least I am updated when it comes to the latest trends in home design.
Did you ever dream of riding a horse? Is it part of your wishlist? I did, and yeah it was part of my wishlist or things I want to do before I die. I was able to do it, but it would have been more fun and memorable if I wore breeches so I’d look more professional than something else. Whenever I see people in the movies riding horses complete with gear and everything, I’d always ask myself…will I be able to do that? Of course each of us dream one way or another, it’s fun you know.
Remember this weekend snapshot entry a few weeks back? Tada, that is the beadwork that I did. Nope I didn’t sew the gown nor the cocktail dress but I was the one who suggested the design, of course where else do I pick…internet! I also helped buy the fabric. I was also deeply touched by the appreciation of the Mom of the debutante who is the first cousin of Nelson. I don’t know but I am just happy doing small things like this. I want to be of help all the time and I always volunteer when it comes to such stuff. My MIL knows about this that’s why she always has me in mind whenever someone goes to her for help.
What makes ephedra diet pills controversial? I have read and heard about it and it really makes me wonder. Have you tried using this? Is it as effective as they claim to be? I have heard too that this was discontinued because of some FDA issues. Very controversial indeed. But did you know that some people still use it despite the fact that it didn’t pass FDA’s standards? Actually it has it’s pros and cons so it’s up to you to decide really. Oh let me just remind you that you need to consult your doctors first before trying out different products. it’s SOP you know.
Just last night someone commented that I gained weight. I didn’t feel bad because I know that it’s true and that I am not doing anything about it. It’s fun to eat you know and I can’t stop myself from enjoying all the food. Someone suggested that I take appetite suppressants, she said it would help. Now that left me thinking…am I really that big compared to like six months ago? I’d like to answer no, but I have to face the fact that I will get there if I don’t stop binge eating.
I’d like to believe that my face has improved a lot. Well some have noticed it, some didn’t, some refused, and some have something else to say. I’m glad that after using the product for more than a year, there is a visible result. I’ve been religiously going for facials too at least once a month and if I have extra moolah, I go for a diamond peel. Since my skin is too oily, some suggests that I go for skin peeling. Honestly I am scared to do just that as I feel that I have a bit of a sensitive skin. I think I’ll just have to do with oily face, I’ll just have to wipe it every now and then, but it can be embarrassing at times though.
They say…”the eye is the window to your soul”. I totally agree! I have something to add to that too. Sometimes the eye is the window to age. Our eyes just give our age away. That is why every time I wake up in the morning, the first thing I look at in the mirror is my eye. I squint so I would know the extent of fine lines I’ve got. Sad, yeah I’m sad because I’m starting to have them, and yes it is very visible, aside from the dark circles I get when I lack sleep. Funny how I expect not to get them at all. Fountain of youth…I wish I had it, but does anyone have it? I don’t think so, but we can do something about it. It would help delay the signs of aging, that is if we do something about it. Now how do we go about it? Let’s face it, we just have to use certain products. Agree or not? I’m looking into this eye wrinkle cream that I will be needing anytime soon. I have accepted the fact that sooner or later I’ll be needing the help of an eye wrinkle cream. I just need it especially that I am fond of putting on makeup. I want it to be flawless as much as possible. But more than that I don’t want to look my age. I believe that these creams help in firming the skin surrounding the eye area, thus no more fine lines or should I say lessen fine lines. Yeah that’s more like it, creams can help improve. Now if you think that this happens overnight, think about it. Nothing really happens overnight. It takes regular application if you want the product to work. Once you start using it, it should be done religiously. I think most product works that way so eye creams are no exception.

Sunday was spent watching Fashion Week again. We missed Saturday’s show though, but I’m glad that I made it to Sunday’s show. All the brands and designers were all awesome. I particularly liked that of Lyle Ibanez, man he’s good really. I want to wear his designs, very simple yet so chic. He’s like Marc Jacobs I think, well that is just my opinion. Michael Cinco on the other hand still rocks! All his gowns were well applauded. Magnificent beadworks too, oh so intricate. And the Bench show, my oh my, oh so yummmeeeehhh! See second photo, LOL.
I swear, I don’t want to be in this situation again. Nope it’s not swine flu, otherwise you won’t be seeing the laptop there and I can’t go on with my online activities. It’s scary but we can help it. There are a number of things one can do to avoid getting it or the human flu for that matter. I know what to do and I am confident because I am protected. Oh that photo? It happened late last year, yeah in the month of December when a lot of things are going on, you know celebrations here and there. I missed a lot, good food, good company, beautiful memories with people I dearly love, all because I was down with a Flu. I was angry at myself because I knew all along that this can be avoided. My husband has been reminding me to get my Flu vaccine but I was too lazy to go and see our doctor, probably because I was doing a lot of things at that time. Sometimes we take this forgranted. We dismiss it as ordinary cough or merely fever. But did you know that flu can get deadly? Yeah I am not kidding. You can visit http://www.bakuna.ph to know more about it. Better yet, get yourselves vaccinated if you don’t want to end in bed just like me. Not in the month of December, or any month for that matter that you had to miss something grand just because you are down with a flu. I had my Vaxigrip “Bakuna” in the month of January and I’m glad I’m now protected. I will not be caught in the situation you see in the photo above since getting the flu vaccine helped build my immune system. Now will this keep me protected from swine flu too? My answer is no BUT since my immune system is strong, I’d like to believe that I won’t easily catch it. Thanks to sanofi Pasteur’s Flu Awareness Campaign, more people are now aware that they need to get Flu vaccine every year.
A tip from my daughter…when you are sick, it makes you feel a little better when you wear fluffy slippers. I don’t know where she got it from, but I think she’s kinda right. I wore fluffy sleepers on that day and I felt a little better…haha coincidence or what?
“A Flu Awareness Campaign brought to you by Sanofi Pasteur.”
It’s Fashion Week once again and this time I didn’t shoot. I just came to watch. Ish tagged along once again…and what happens when we go to a fashion show together? It can get nasty you know…this is just a joke. But really it’s fun to people watch during a fashion show, it’s entertaining, yeah double entertainment. Fashion Week will run until the 3rd of June I think, and I’m missing the show today, but I’m glad that I can make it tomorrow.
The second photo that you see? That’s Bebe Gandanghari, she’s/he’s really pretty in person. I was really amused when I saw her/him. Too bad I didn’t have my photo taken with her/him. Next time then.
I was really thinking of having custom rubber stamps made for the kids. Instead of having name tags printed year after year for their books and notebooks, it could have saved me some money. Come to think of it, you only have this made once and it can go a long way. Talk about saving, this is a good one! I can also use it with some other stuff, not just for text books in school. I can also use it for my daughter’s personal book collection. She is fond of lending books to her friends, so it’s better if she has her name stamped on it.
I am really curious over this sleep number bed. I want to experience lying on it even just for a minute or two, oh make that an hour please for my nap. Really I want to try it. I heard so many good words about this product and I want to find out for myself if it’s true. Of course I want to have a good night’s rest all the time and I heard that when you are an owner of this bed, you’ll get all the comfort there is. The bed adjusts to how you like it to be, cool isn’t it?
Weee! I finally finished it. That’s what I did on the weekend. If not for Pet Society and Restaurant City I could have finished it in a day or two. Can you guess how many days it took me to finish it? I started doing it I think Tuesday of last week…so that’s like 5 days. My my, blame it on these two games I play over at Facebook. It’s addicting!
For people who will miss the Black Friday Sale, don’t fret. You still have your chance to purchase that piece that you like come Cyber Monday, that is the Monday that follows the Black Friday Sale. You don’t need to go to the stores people, because you can do it online. More convenient isn’t it? Too bad we don’t have this kind of sale here in the country where I reside. I heard that people living in the US go gaga over this sale. But it does not mean though that I can’t avail of that Black Friday nor the Cyber Monday Sale. I have sisters living in the US you know, they can always shop for me. Teehee!
Wow this is something new to me. This is actually the first time I read/learned about it. I didn’t know that flouride is commonly added to our water to prevent tooth decay. I really never thought of that. All I knew is that flouride can be found in toothpastes and sometimes can be given by the dentists. That was how I knew tooth decay can be prevented. Years back, some people believed that the best way to avoid tooth decay is to put add flouride in the water system. That is not the case now since a lot of studies show more danger in adding flouride in water. But still flouride is still being added. Companies have thought of ways on how to remove this flouride and they have come up with Fluoride Removal Water Filters . Now that I have come to know about it, I will seriously be considering it. I also read that flouride is all the more harmful once absorbed by the skin. I have to do an extensive reading on this matter, so I will be more aware about the dangers.
Anyways, for now we are buying our drinking water. We use tap water for everything else. I was thinking that in the long run using water filters at home will allow me to save more. I will convince my family and friends to have their own water filters at home, and with that maybe we can take a look at these Wholesale CrystalQuest Filters. You and I know that prices are lower when bought by bulk or wholesale. Agree or not?
My abs section is my problem right now. Well it has been a problem ever since but moreso now. Maybe all of you have noticed that I put on some weight, and I just hate it that it went to the wrong places, if you know what I mean. Nope I don’t exercise everyday, I am just too way lazy. Crazy me I know, but people who play Pet Society and Restaurant City would understand, LOL.
But NO! Even if I added another FB account solely for playing I promised myself not to get hooked, duh! Thank God I will be back to belly dancing on Monday. It helps I must admit. I didn’t dance for 2 months already since my teacher gave birth. But I am just happy that we will start again come Monday.
Look what I found online! If you are in need of memory cards for your camera, check out this flash memory which comes with a 60 day money back thingy. I don’t know but products with this kind of money back guarantee are just appealing to me. It has always been at the back of my mind that they would not do such an offer if they are not really sure of their products. I want to buy a 16 GB memory stick so I can maximize my 13.1 megapixel camera.
Nowhere to go this summer? Why don’t you try the Outer Banks rentals? Just to give you an idea, staying in the Outer Banks will give you a beautiful view of the ocean. Isn’t that refreshing? I love the ocean really, I love the peace and quiet I get just gazing at the horizon. How about basking in the sun, just enjoying the nice and beautiful weather? Oh life…there is always something to look forward to.
Swerte ko, meron akong dalawang version ng pagtatapos ng hapon, ang tinatawag na sunset at twilight. Yung unang litrato ay ang pagtatapos sa ibabaw ng ulap, oo nakasakay sa eroplano. Yung pangalawang litrato naman ay kuha sa San Miguel by the Bay. Paboritong paborito ko ang ganitong oras, hindi upang mag-emote kundi upang i-enjoy ang kapaligiran, and horizon. Nakaka-relax talaga sya, at hindi ako nalulungkot kapag nakakakita ako ng sunset.
That’s me and my daughter before we left for dinner.
Thanks Ish for the really nice set of beads…ahlovit!
The candle given at church.
That’s my Mom in the middle, with her friends at church.
It was a hectic Mother’s Day for me. First stop was of course at the church. We attended the church service and the kids from Sunday School rendered a touching song dedicated to mothers. Mom’s were given candles too by their kids. We had lunch over at Mom’s. I brought pancit for them. We had a very nice lunch (it happens every Sunday actually) when we go and visit them. Dinner was at chinese restaurant to pay tribute to the MIL.
Ayokong mabansagang “Jill of all trade, master of none.” Pero minsan di talaga maiwasan na isipin ko na ganun, pano, ang dami kong sinimulan na projects pero tila ang hirap tapusin. Ayoko ng ganito kasi nanghihinayang ako sa perang inilabas ko para umpisahan ang anumang bagay. Minsan sinisisi ko ang pagbababad sa internet lalo na sa Facebook, sus maryosep di yata ako nag-aabsent dyan. Hmm , eto nalang, hulaan nyo kung may ang ipo-post ko sa next week’s theme ay related sa litrato na iyan. Ano sa tingin nyo?
*I dont wanna be branded as a Jill of all trade, master of none. But sometimes it just points to that. I’ve started quite a few projects but can’t seem to finish it. It wasn’t a choice, and I don’t like it either because I’m thinking of the money spent on these projects. I sometimes blame the time I spend on the internet especially on Facebook. Geez, you will always find me there. Now the question is, will my entry for next week’s theme connected with the photo you see above? What do you think?*
