It Can Be a Home

Posted by girlie on July 29, 2010

There are not many RVs I see around, those few are owned by people in showbiz. They don’t really live there but they make it their temporary home whenever they are on location. I wonder if they get the same 5th wheel warranty that is offered in the US. Surprisingly there are still a lot of RV owners in the US I heard. Sometimes I do wonder how it is to live in that. Is it as comfortable as living in a house? I guess it is. Looking at the inside/interior of a RV is like looking at the inside/interior of a house, not much difference though. There’s one advantage that I like too, moving to another place is not a hassle at all since you just drive to the new location. There is no need to pack and stuff.

My Little Shopping

Posted by girlie on July 22, 2010

Photobucket I had to fetch the daughter yesterday to bring her to Mega Mall to meet with her Tita Jane who will bring her shopping at Forever21. She was able to pick like 4 items I think and all paid by her aunt. I myself went for a little shopping too. I intended to shop for another sandals if they have new ones (because they said they come up with new items every week). I saw this black sandals, it was pretty but I had to let it go because it was more than a thousand bucks, too much for my budget of P500. You know why? I was able to buy a P475 sandals last week. I think I mentioned it in my other blog. Anyway, while waiting for them to finish, I browsed the racks and found that skirt you see on the photo and it was within my budget. Well I added P75 coz it cost P575. Not bad for a pretty skirt. I sure know how to shop, right? Oh just to let you know, the philippine price is just higher by $2 compared to the website which isn’t bad at all since you don’t really pay an additional tax on top of the price.

Gold Buyers

Posted by girlie on July 19, 2010

Have you thought of a very good investment product? This is not the time to just invest on anything just for the sake of investing. Times are really hard and sometimes there are just people who take advantage of it. They would lure you to something impossible, but at that time all you thought was how lucrative it can get. This is a common trait, we get attracted to something big because all we care about is the gain that would be given to us. Let us be wise in investing our money.

There are a lot of people nowadays who prefer to buy gold coins. I think this is a very good move. Why do I say this? Let me ask you, has the price of gold in the world market gone done already? No, either it stays there or goes up. What I like about it is that you can dispose of it very easily. I say this because a friend once asked my help. She was in financial trouble and gold have rescued her from that difficulty. I helped her dispose of it and we really didn’t find it hard.

UA Wetness

Posted by girlie on

Photobucket I used to order this in the US through my sister. If you’re wondering what that is, that’s the temporary cure for my excessive UA sweating. I get really embarrased when I raise my hand and there’s this wet thing in my UA, it’s like eeeewww. But what can I do, an ordinary anti-perspirant doesn’t do the trick. But this product, it’s very good. I’ve seen the result even with just a single applicaiton. I bought that about 2 months ago I think but have used it only about 4 times.

*This can be bought locally already.

Learning Online

Posted by girlie on July 17, 2010

Maybe some of you haven’t finished college yet and would want to have a degree. Some of you may even have plans to further your studies, like a Master’s degree perhaps? Or some may want to add another degree to their name (second course). Well I am one of that some I am talking about. Actually it has been my desire not just to get a diploma for college but to either add another one or to take Master’s Degree. Thing is, I got a job right after I graduated from college and that I enjoyed my work a lot that I set aside that desire to further my studies. Then came marriage, then kids. You know how it is when you’re starting a family, you tend to focus on them forgetting about your dreams and just work on fulfilling your child’s dreams. I became busy that I didn’t have time to pursue that dream, plus the fact that it was so impossible to go back to school with all the responsibilities on my shoulders. I didn’t really think about classes online at that time. All I thought was that how can I be physically present in the campus when I don’t even have the time during the day. Now that there are a lot on online classes being offered, then the possibility of learning another degree is not remote. A lot of people in the working class have considered this possibility. They work during the day, and study at night or anytime that is most convenient to them. All you need is a computer where you can do all you learning. This means that you can study anywhere, and at any time that is most convenient for you. This is perfect for mothers who can squeeze in learning in between naps and taking care of the family. Don’t you think this is a good idea? Getting a degree isn’t impossible anymore if you claim that you don’t have the time to be physically present in school.

Here’s an Option

Posted by girlie on July 10, 2010

Just how many kinds of life insurance are there? I don’t even know the difference unless I sit down and read about it. And I thought there’s only life insurance. I was surprised to hear about term life insurance from a friend. Oh so this kind of insurance only lasts for a predetermined period of time. No wonder it’s very affordable and a lot of people opt for this. If you want to get yourself covered, then this will be a good start. It’s a good thing insurance companies thought of this, this is kind of bringing insurance to everyone.

Getting Help with Closet Design

Posted by girlie on

Photobucket

The most part I enjoyed when we were building our house was designing the closet. It was a challenge, a bit hard. But you know what, it was actually more fun than I thought. I got some ideas from Closet Organizers. Much as I want to order from them it was just impossible, we live thousands of miles away from them. I am thankful though that they were really a big help, my closet and all the closets here at home are very pretty.

Now why am I sharing this? You too can get help from them. They have a step by step guide to follow and the result would be your virtual closet. At least you will have an idea on how it will look like once the carpenters are done with it.

Reminiscing

Posted by girlie on

I only have 2 kids and I don’t intend to get pregnant, ooohhhlala as if I still can. If ever, it’s going to be a risk pregnancy because of the age factor. I am not telling you how old I am, you’re guess is as good as mine. Anyway I’m good with 2 beautiful children. I vividly remember those times I was pregnant with them. I never missed going to the OB every month for check up even though I didn’t look forward to it. I did it for the sake of my babies. I was also religious in taking my prenatal vitamins because I know how important it is to the development of the babies. There were times that I hated taking anything, but I just had to do it. You know how it is when a woman gets pregnant, they get to be sensitive with everything. I had my moments too but generally I was good with pregnancy.

How Sensitive is Your Skin?

Posted by girlie on July 9, 2010

My my my! I have sensitive skin, it’s probably because I’ve outgrown my asthma already. I remember when I was in high school, my allergies were really bad that it looked like eczema. It was eeewww to the max, reddish and watery, I know it’s gross but I just like to describe so you will have an idea on how bad it was. Amongst my 2 kids, I think it’s Josh who got after me. He’s got sensitive skin too and I had to buy him this special lotion all the time because if not he would have scars all over his body from scratching. Hope he outgrows this soon because I’m really bothered by the looks of it.

HOT…Not!

Posted by girlie on

I was just in time for aerobics class today, well I was close to being late. Good thing there was a new instructor. Ok, so I went inside the studio, hhhmmm new guy instructor, hot, muscled, fit. He introduced himself to us, he is oh sorry I forgot his name coz I was a bit distracted, I’m an instructor at FF. Ok good, still hot! Fast forward to start of the class, he started dancing, my jaw dropped, GAYNESS at it’s best, yeah he was HOT alright, but NOT! Anyhoo I enjoyed the class, imho he was good in fact everyone liked him. Today was totally different from the rest of the days. Today was fun, the steps were easy to follow, we had good music and there was GAYness all over the place, now that spells fun, right?

I Spoke Too Soon

Posted by girlie on July 8, 2010

Arrrggghhh! I spoke too soon. I know I wrote here a couple of days back that I don’t suffer from adult acne anymore. Like I said, I spoke too soon. I have one right now and it’s located under my nose, not a sight to behold and it’s huge. Goodness of all places why did it appear there? It’s partly my fault because I got lazy once again. I have been slacking on my nightly facial regimen. I can’t get myself to clean my face before sitting in front of the computer, and by the time I’m done with my online presence, gosh I’m so sleepy already. Haha shoot me for complaining!

Stroller that Grows with the Family…Cool!

Posted by girlie on

Photobucket This is cool! I can’t help but share because I am amused by how far baby stuff have become. Take for example that Baby jogger city select stroller. We don’t have this kind about 17 years ago when I had my first child, well none that I know of. Look what has become of a simple stroller now, really amazing. Kudos to that person who thought of such things. Now I have an idea what to get when I have grandchildren of my own, but that would be far from now.

Wish Granted

I’m so happy, weeeee! I finally got the ballet flats I wanted. You see I don’t really have a decent shoes, and I have made up my mind to only buy quality shoes starting from now. Never mind if I don’t have lots of pairs, what I’m after now is the comfort. Besides I don’t really go out that much anymore, therefore I don’t need lots of pairs. The shoes is what I expected, beautiful, simple, elegant and comfy. I made the right choice and made the right decision to purchase it.

Thanks to SIL for requesting her friend Karen to get it for me. Thanks Karen! And yeah, I just want to share with you that I was able to save about P1,500 for letting someone buy it in the US. Good thing there are friends out there who are willing to do just that. I am lucky!

How To Earn Online

Posted by girlie on July 6, 2010

By now you already know that a lot of people earn online. I am one of them and I am blessed that I have been doing it for some 3 years now. There are a lot of online affiliate programs you can try. If you are not yet familiar with it, it’s not too late to start. Maybe you can put up your own website. If you are new to this and you don’t like to spend money, you can either use blogger or wordpress. But you see in my experience, you earn more when you have your own domain. Haha I know some of you are at a loss of what I am talking about, I was like that too when I started blogging. I eventually got the hang of it and look at me now, I’m earning while enjoying my online presence.

Body Beautiful

Posted by girlie on July 4, 2010

I know someone who is obsessed with her body. Not really that obsessed but she worries when she starts to see bulges. She will always mention lipo. Apparently she underwent liposuction when it was first introduced. I wonder if she checks on the leading diet pills in the market before resorting to surgery and all. I will have to ask her on Monday because I will be seeing her in our aerobics class. Yes she does aerobics everyday and yet she worries too much.

New Logo

Posted by girlie on July 3, 2010

Photobucket I made a new logo for my small business. I don’t really know how to do it using photoshop but I was able to get by by following instructions from google. I just copied the old logo that I had and only did a bit of revision. I’m excited with this new venture, it’s quite hard because I am the one who does it, but I have to endure all this to be successful. I love what I’m doing and hopefully the others will love my craft too.

Treatment for Age Spots

Posted by girlie on

I look at my face in the mirror every morning, so far I like what I see except for some comedones that need to be removed. It’s beginning to bother me simply because a lot of people have noticed it already. It gives my face a rough texture. I’ll see what I can do with it. The dermatologist suggested cautery but said that it will come back again after a while. Well at least I don’t have age spots yet, but I am not really scared about that since I know that there is actually a treatment for it. Ah these are the things that worry you when you get to your 40s, it’s inevitable! I wonder if I am the only one who worries to much about aging.

Forgetful Me!

Posted by girlie on July 2, 2010

When someone gets sick I am always reminded to purchase a medicine cabinet. That’s what I overlooked when we moved in. I don’t know but I keep forgetting. It’s probably because I couldn’t find a cabinet to my liking. I am hoping to find something like this Robern Medicine cabinet because it matches with my other furniture and fixtures at home. With the design I found, I am planning to put it in the toilet since it would blend in with the other stuff. I will have to make this to a project because if not the next time you ask me, I still haven’t gotten any.

Auburn

Posted by girlie on

I was due to have a root dye. I don’t know if you noticed in my photos that the gray hair are already showing. I should be doing this thing once a month but then if I can stretch it to two then it’s better. Normally this happens when I don’t have special occasions to attend.

Anyway I was having second thoughts of using auburn. In my mind now that I’m in my 40s, I can’t get away with any color. Yes, I’ve mellowed down already and not as crazy anymore. My choices in hair color have toned down a bit. Ah look what age can do, heh. Going back, again I did it myself. I used Revlon in auburn, and not bad. It didn’t really turn out as red as I thought it would. I am relieved! I think I’ll stay with this color for a bit, but not with the brand. I used to get my hair color at Healthy Options (the paraben and ammonia free), and I think I’m gonna use that one.

*I’ll take pictures tomorrow so you can see the hair color. I’m attending a party!

She Loves Shopping Online

Posted by girlie on

I do love going to the malls, mostly to window shop. Yeah just to window shop since I have been a rehabilitated shopaholic. I have already trained myself to buy what I only need but sometimes I am just human you know, I get to buy some of my wants too. But at least I have been wiser now I can say. I think the daughter has gotten after me, or most girls just really love to shop. Aside from going to the malls, her shopping has elevated a bit because she does online shopping now. She always comes to me and shares what she finds online. We have tried doing shopping online and I think it’s cool. Most of the things we don’t find in the mall, we find online. Now I’m thinking is this why shopping online is getting to be more popular nowadays? If you read my daughter’s status update in FB, she screams that she wants to buy shoes among other things. Shoes because she thinks that’s the only way she can dress up when she goes to school. You know when people wear their uniforms every single day, it’s either they look for a unique shoes or bag. That has gotten her to look for stuff online, at this time she does not really have the luxury of going to the malls.

Short of Cash?

Posted by girlie on July 1, 2010

Have you been in a situation where you don’t have enough cash? Do you ever worry that the money left in your wallet will not even reach the next payday? This is a situation most of us are into, it’s inevitable I say. Times are hard and we can’t even make both ends meet. It’s frustrating I tell you especially if you’ve used all means to save and yet the budget does not seem enough. But fret not, PayDay One to the rescue especially for those living in America. Yeah that’s what most people in America resort to. Do you want to know the reason why? The interest rates are very reasonable and low and they give you payment options. Another thing they like about this is the fact that the site is secure and they don’t have any qualms of leaving personal information. You get your loan fast too, if you applied for a loan today, you will be able to get it by tomorrow. This is so because the information they need from you is very basic. They will just ask you about your financial standing, your work and all. You don’t actually need to go to their office because everything can be done either by telephone or online. I like this aspect that I don’t need to get out of the house just to be able to avail of it. Now this means savings on my part.

I Was There

Posted by girlie on

Photobucket Initially my plan was to attend the Inaugural Street Party. But when I found out that Cuz and her party will attend the Inaugural at the Luneta Grandstand, I decided to join them. We were not even near the stage, we didn’t take a glimpse of the President, we only saw him in the giant screen which was actually good enough for me. We were content by just listening to the songs and his speech. He had a very promising speech - saying that we the people are his boss and that we should be working hand in hand by doing our part as responsible filipinos while he does his duties as the President. I don’t find his speech sugar-coated, it was more like what is really true. We are all hoping that by God’s grace, the President will be able to lead this country in accordance to God’s will.

Thinking of What to Wear

Posted by girlie on June 29, 2010

We’re invited to attend a grand party a few months from now. It’s a formal occasion and we really need to dress up. We actually want to dress up, which rarely happens. So whenever there is an opportunity to dress up, we get excited. I have this habit of looking at prom dresses to suggest to my daughter. Sometimes I pick what I think will look good on her. She actually trusts my taste for clothes. I normally get her approval and sometimes she leaves me to choose especially when it comes to gowns. It does help that I know what she likes so I don’t really have a hard time picking a nice gown or a cocktail dress for her.

I might probably pick from these prom dresses 2011 for her debut. She’s not sure though if she wants a grand celebration. She’s thinking of asking for a car instead. Whatever her decision is, at least I am ready. If she can’t wear it to her own 18th birthday party, then she can wear it when she gets invited to someone else’s party. I on the other hand can also take a look at these formal dresses. There are a few pieces that are my favorite and I can’t wait to wear them already.

And yeah, I want you to check these homecoming dresses. There’s one in that collection that is totally my favorite. It’s simple yet very elegant. I think my daughter would love it too, we’ve got the same taste for clothes, and she’s really her mother’s daughter as everyone says.

A Secret…No More

Posted by girlie on June 23, 2010

This is the first time I’m writing it down and letting everyone know. I have been secretly wanting it. Ssshhh keep quiet, this is a secret. At first it was my nose I was most uncomfortable with. I find it big, really big, like rotten tomato. Nah I am just kidding, only about the rotten tomato. I wanted to have tall nose just like the white people, I know I watch too many foreign television shows and movies. Seriously it’s really nice to have tall nose, it makes you look more beautiful. Now if you ask me what happened to that longing to have tall nose, it took a backseat in favor of a bigger breast. I am flat chested and if I don’t have the soft features of a woman, you’d think twice if I was one. The reason why I want to have it is simple. I want how the clothes fall when I have those. I have seen some photos of breast augmentation Columbus Ohio and it’s nicely done. I actually found the perfect size, not the big ones if I may say. I just want enhancement if you know what you mean. I don’t really like those big breasted girls you often see on men’s magazines. I am not fully decided yet, it’s just a wish at the moment but no one is stopping me from checking breast Implants Columbus Ohio from time to time to see what’s the latest in that procedure.

Madam Auring Look-a-Like

Posted by girlie on

I posted in my other blog my first time experience taking the MRT. I normally take the LRT once a month to bring me to places (from north to south) simply because I am lazy to drive. I want to save up on time so I’d rather take the rails. Now that there’s an additional obligation to pay somewhere north again, I have to take the MRT this time. It’s the most convenient way which can take me only about half day if there are no sidetrips, heh. Anyway, during these rides all I do is people watch to amuse myself. In that particular MRT ride, I chanced upon a lady who works for a cosmetic clinic (well that was what’s embroidered in her scrubs). I think she was made into a guinea pig looking like MJ (international) or Madam Auring (local) already. Scary as it is but she was so confident with how she looked and wasn’t bothered at all by the stares she got. Wala lang, nagkwekwento lang =)
