I should start reading about hair loss treatments. Did I tell you that it runs in the family? I was even kidding my son Josh and told him that it’s inevitable for him to go bald since both sides of the family have history of hair loss. I had to tell him that it’s a hereditary thing. I found some helpful tips from www.procerinreviews.org about hair loss. It is there where I read too about baby hair loss too, I didn’t know that. I thought that there’s another reason for baby hair loss but it mentioned there that it can partly be hereditary. Now that I’ve said hereditary twice already, I should get serious and find a way to stop or prevent hair loss for my son.

Can’t wait for April 22, if only I can pull the dates, come on I am excited and for once I want to be “happy”. I love my sisters dearly and oh my brother too. I love the kind of relationship that we have. Two of my sisters are now residing in the US, we are all married, but despite those facts, we remain close to each other. There is no way I can give away my sister/brother. It’s just not right. I have overflowing love and respect for them that’s why that won’t happen ever. I feel sad when someone in the family gives away a member of the family. I don’t know for whatever reason, but I think there is none. I am just happy that I was born into this family where only love and laughter prevail. It’s not a perfect one, but when there is enough love, there is always room for forgiveness and no room for holding grudges whatsoever!

Hair loss runs in the family. It starts quite early. My brother started losing his hair at age 30 perhaps. It was about the same age when my Dad started losing his too. My brother used to worry a lot about this hair loss thing so I think the worry contributed more to his hair loss. If you ask me if there is a cure for this, my answer is I don’t really know but I have come across this hair loss cure. I wish I had come across this when my brother started losing his hair, I could have helped him in a way. But I think it’s too late now because you can count his hair using your fingers…haha just kidding!

Please don’t laugh at me. I know I am on the FAT side right now but I am still taking my multivitamin. Contrary to what many people think, I still believe that all of us should take vitamins everyday. We don’t really get all the nutrients our bodies need that is why we need supplements. Food are sometimes stripped off their nutrients with the wrong cooking, or too much processing. Now you get my point? If you still think you are going to get fat when you take your vitamins, why not make exercise a regular thing for you? There is no other time to start but now.

Since watermelon is my current favorite, I want to do something like that. I found that nail design while browsing the internet for cute nail art designs. Right now I did floral stamping on my nails and I guess I’ll let a week pass before I change into that watermelon nail art.
I will have that design on my nails for a longer period I think, and it is to remind me that all I gotta do is stuff my mouth with watermelon whenever I am hungry. That is what I am doing right now and it works.

It’s summer! The malls are packed, and there’s a big crowd gathering at the swimwear section! Women of different shapes and sizes holding on to different styles of swimsuits. That was the scene this morning at a famous department store I happen to visit. I even overheard one girl asking for quick weight loss tips from another girl. Nah I wasn’t eavesdropping at all but she sounded really desperate not because she was holding a 2-pc. bikini or is it? I wanted to go tell her that she can actually wear it and still look good as long as she has the confidence, and she’s not supposed to mind what other people will say. I can tell her that because she does not really look bad at all, but sometimes people dream of having a body to die for, there is nothing wrong with that but if you start obsessing, then it’s time to wake up, ok?

Now who’s the best when it comes to cigars? Honestly I really don’t know the answer since I have tried only one brand. I tried it a few times and I don’t think I am in a position to tell you which one is the best really. I would like to think that they are one and the same, but I know that is not true. I wonder how cohiba cigars taste like. I heard that it’s beginning to be the favorite of aficionados due to it’s flavor. I’d suggest this brand to a cousin of mine who smokes cigar once in a while. I think it’s a regular thing for him already. He shifted from cigs to cigar. Then probably he can tell you if indeed it can be one of the best brands. I won’t forget to mention it here next time.

I first saw this stuff when I went to a salon in Makati. I was too shy to ask where they bought it. I searched high and low, I didn’t find it. When my sister-in-law invited me to go with her to this hair and makeup competition at World Trade Center, that’s where I finally saw it. I was excited. I picked it up and was ready to purchase it when my SIL whispered, “Don’t buy it, I have an extra at home and will give it to you.” Dang, all this time she had it and she left me salivating, wanting to have it. Oh if you are not familiar with it, it’s an acetone dispenser. Not the usual dispenser though. You need not put the bottle upside down to be able to wet your cotton, all you need to do is press a bit and voila your cotton is already wet. I think I am already complete with my nail stuff, nothing to want anymore. Oopsie, I think I still need more nail polish.

They were all fast asleep, probably too tired to hear something even the bark of the dog. When they woke up the following morning, news spread that someone tried to break in. Apparently one of the neighbors saw it. The guy was clad in a black outfit with a matching black bonnet covering his face. No one had a clue to who it was. Scary isn’t it? Do you want to experience that some day? Nah, before that happens I will have a security camera installed. It’s hard to sleep at night knowing that someone attempted to break in. This can happen you know, I hear a lot of those stories in the news. It becomes horror stories when they finally break in. Will you wait for this thing to happen? Scary isn’t it?

Just the other day, my SIL invited me to this Hair Asia thingy which was held at The World Trade Center. Of course I was excited when I found out that tis the season for hair and makeup competitions and of course the beauty supplies kiosks. I love going to this event simply because I find a lot of things to buy. I don’t know if I mentioned that in my past life I was a salon owner. Probably I went to this cosmetology school. Honestly I really want to study. I was asking my SIL to enroll me so that I can help her manage the salon in case she plans to put up one someday.
It’s been a dream of mine to put up my own beauty salon but the thing is we don’t have enough money to put up a business this soon. I can probably study while waiting for this dream to realize. If I can’t put up my own salon, I can share my talent by joining another salon as part of their team perhaps?

I was invited by my SIL to go to Hair Asia at the World Trade Center. Of course I was excited, and I bet you know by now why. For those ones who does not have a clue, I am a salon artist in my past life probably. It would be a chance for me to see beauty/salon products.
Anyway I have been sporting short hair since June of last year. In my opinion, my hair grows long really fast but not fast enough for me to curl it. I actually tried but it was quite hard. When I saw this human hair clip on extension, I became excited. But I didn’t buy it right away since I have this habit of buying on impulse. I sat for a few moments (away from the stall) arguing at the back of my mind whether to get it or not. It was actually my SIL’s prodding that made me buy it. She asked the hair technician to try it on me and from there I decided that I want it. I will curl it tomorrow since the family does not want or should I say not used to seeing me with long straight hair.

The insurance industry has gone a long way especially with the existence of the internet. No one’s knocking on your doorsteps anymore offering some insurance. Gone are those days, days that I was used to when I was younger. Now everything is readily available. You can even compare life insurance online. I actually find the idea very helpful. At least I don’t need to go out of the house or meet some insurance brokers regarding my need. Shopping for life insurance is like shopping for clothes now. When you shop for a particular insurance, the search engine will give you rates coming from all the insurance companies. It’s up to you to compare and decide which really suits your needs. Easy peasy…that’s why I love the internet so much. Life gets to be a little convenient.

I’ve been watching a lot of Zumba vid on youtube. Actually I want to order a DVD, all four from beginner to advance. But I’m having second thoughts, I’m the lazy type and I’m good only on the first few days. Eventually those DVDs would collect dusts, just like what happened to my belly dancing DVDs. Oh well, I’m learning my lesson the hard way.
When I went to my aerobics class yesterday, I asked our instructor if he knows how to do Zumba. Luckily he does. I didn’t expect that he’d include it in the class yesterday. I only asked if he knew. I feel a little sad because two of the students “walked out”. I don’t think they liked the idea of doing Zumba instead of the regular step aerobics. I don’t know but it felt weird when they went home. I had to tell the instructor that he has to ask the people in the counter first if he can include it. I am really hoping that we’d do Zumba even for 30 minutes. Aerobics class is 2 hours for me.

I don’t really go out of the house and mingle with the neighbors. I used to do that a lot when I was single. We lived in a subdivision where there were a lot of activities going on. I had fun growing up there. Anyway going back to our neighbors now, they think that I would be giving baby announcements anytime soon. Funny because they talked to the hubs. Apparently the news is I’m preggers. How did they come up with this? They think I am just because I am FAT, yeah FAT…in my face! I just laugh it off, not affected at all. I even find the news funny and I am LMAO right now.

Now that my lil man is 14, he’s into a lot of things already. Seems like it was only yesterday when he was content to just playing with his gameboy. Now he’s into different kinds of stuff and is very particular about brands and stuff now. I have to start saving more because he’s into electronics pretty much too. He knows what he wants and I am just amazed. He reads product reviews by himself and would tell me, Mom this is what I need. I read that…and he starts talking like some geek or something. He’s totally grown up, a certified (lil) man!

Gustong gusto namin ni Ish na nakakakita ng something green. Actually sya ang nag-aya samin na pumunta dyan sa Eco Park one fine Sunday. Malapit yan sa bahay ng aking Ina kaya hindi kami nagdalawang isip na pumunta. At least di na talaga sasadyain. Kapag nasa gitna ako ng “paraiso” nakakaramdam ako ng katahimikan. Talagang ina-appreciate ko ang kalikasan. Minsan kasi we take it for granted na. Hindi na tayo marunong mag-appreciate ng nature. Buti nalang kahit papano, nabibitbit ko pa ang mga anak ko sa mga ganitong klaseng lakad.

Around late last year I was asked by a friend to look for a gold bracelet for her. I was a bit shocked to find that price of gold per gram has gone up again. To my knowledge there was never a time that the prices have gone down. It’s either it stays but not for a very long time or it increases. Gold is really a very good investment. Now this has given me the idea on how to invest the extra money that were going to have. It’s wiser to just buy gold coins than put your money somewhere else. Oh dear this reminds me of the investment that we placed in a bank that earned us very little amount. I was really disappointed big time that I nearly cried when I found out that the interest it earned was not even 10 percent of what I had in mind. We should be wiser next time.

Let me ask you, where do you go when you want to change Hairstyles? Are you like me? Whenever I want to have a new look, I immediately go online and surf for hairstyles. I am one person who can really go very short or very long. Medium length would always be the awkward length for me. Whenever I’m in that stage, I would always go and look for the Latest Hairstyles so that I will know how to fix it and not end up having short hair again. I have a never ending love affair with my hair. Sometimes I feel that I own the most abused hair, what with all the heating and styling. But it’s a good thing that we now have different treatments for abused hair. Sometimes I would look for these particular Hair Styles that do not allow me to put styling products nor use a blow dryer or a curling iron. On bad hair days, you would also find me using the internet in search for something that will make my hair look gorgeous, a quick fix I must say. Most of the time it really works. As much as possible I don’t want to be seen in my bad hair day mode. Who would anyway? It’s just normal I guess considering that our hair is our crowning glory.

Aanhin ang mga knitting needles na yan kung hindi mahusay ang nagmamay-ari nyan (ahem). Oo may tinatago akong husay sa pag knit kasi sa youtube lang naman ako natuto at ito ay hit and miss. Tutorials here and there ang drama ko kapat di ko alam gawin ang mga stitches. Hanggang ngayon naman ganun pa rin ang drama ko. Sana pagdating ng panahon, lalo akong huhusay, yung tipong di ko na kelangan panoorin ang mga vids para magawa ko ang certain stitch na required. Haha may tagong husay nga naman ba? Eh bakit nangangailangan ng kodigo?

Ever since I remember, it has been my dream to have a little garden when I build my own house. Sadly that dream didn’t come to reality, but you can never tell. I don’t think that will happen anytime soon since we don’t really have enough space to put up a garden. It can probably happen when we build our “retirement” home. This time I’ll see to it that I will have a beautiful garden filled with all these flowers. I can imagine how I will go gaga when all these flowers are in bloom. You very well know that flowers are my favorite subject when it comes to photography. I don’t think I will ever get tired of taking photos of flowers. I remember doing that every Sunday over at my Mom’s house when she used to have all these beautiful flowers. My sister used to send her seeds, seeds that she thinks will grow here. True enough it did and it just made my Mom’s garden beautiful.
Now going back to having a beautiful garden, once in a while we talk about wanting to retire in a much cooler place. We just want a smaller house this time, in a bigger lot. I want to have a flower garden and a vegetable garden. I want to have a big lawn where the dogs can run, and the grandchildren can play. Haha I am funny, I talk like I’m going to have grandchildren anytime soon. Naaaahhh, my eldest is just 16, too early to be a Mom. Ha, I guess I have to stop talking now, my imagination has gone wild.

I wonder if this friend of mine is already updated when it comes to the insurance business. She has always been noted as a top broker for how many years already. I don’t know if her secret to staying on top is insurance advertising. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact if I was in the insurance business, I too will dwell on that. If it’s a better way to improve on the sales then why not. Today we should think of ways and means on how to go about our businesses. The competition out there is tough so thinking of a better idea is not bad after all.

That’s what I had for snacks this afternoon while the other had a bowl of fruit salad. Yeah I am bitter, because I try hard to lose some unwanted pounds. For the first time I checked the number of calories of what I ate, and it said 85. I was like oh no! I spent 1 hour using wii fit and burned something like 208 calories, and a cup of oranges is already 85? From now on I will stop counting. I will just enjoy my fitness routine and I wish I can say enjoy my food too, but nah thank you!

I promised not to hurt myself anymore. Yeah you learn your lesson the hard way. You can’t blame me, I was just super excited to get my stuff. I am talking about some shopping. It’s normally being delivered in a box. And what do you know, knife comes in. I should have ordered this box cutter together with the stuff I asked someone to buy for me. Darn! How barbaric, opening a box with a kitchen knife. It’s like eeewww. Oh never mind, next time around those knives won’t be anywhere near the box.

It’s the election season here in our country. A lot of stuff are being given away, some useful, most are not. How I wish that instead of giving out something that can’t be use, someone would think of giving away these promotional hand sanitizers instead. It promotes health and wellness. These should be the kind of stuff to be given away, and not something that goes to the bin. I might as well suggest this to a relative who is running for a national post.
