Miss TagAlong

Posted by girlie on

Wake up you sleepy head! The moment we left the house last Saturday, she was comfortably sleeping in the car all the way to our destination. She continued sleeping in the car while we were working. She only woke up to ask where we were eating. Aha, so that’s the reason why she wants to tag along. We used to call her the “ambiance” girl, she eats a lot when we go to fine restaurants ^_^

That’s my girl! She wants to follow wherever we go all the time, even if she’s tired, she’d still go with us. If she sees us dressed, the next thing would be “Where are you guys going? Can I come?” I asked her why she can’t stay put in the house, a quick reply comes “I’m just like Lolo (grandpa), he gets bored when he’s home all the time.” Haha! Good excuse little girl!

Today we went to SM San Lazaro, and when she learned that we were going, “Can I come?” Told her that we would just take the jeepney. I thought she wouldn’t tag along since she’s not into jeepney rides. To my surprise she said, “No problem Mother!” So she came. When we were about to alight, I asked her if she knows what to say, with confidence she told me, “Help! Please stop!” Bwaaaaahhhh, that’s my Miss TagAlong Girl!

UP = Street Food!

squid balls & carioca

When N mentioned to me that he was going to have a prenup shoot at UP (University of the Philippines), I didn’t have second thoughts of going with him. Aside from helping him bring his stuff and assisting him, I had a different thing in mind. I was dreaming of eating squid balls and carioca. It’s only in UP that I get to eat those kinds of stuff, it’s really scary buying them from the carts roaming the streets. They say that in UP, those vendors get a health certificate or something, I dunno what it’s called really, before they can sell something. So it’s always at the back of my mind that it’s cleaner compared to those ones roaming the streets. So there, I got to eat my favorite squidballs dipped in sweet chili sauce and carioca. Carioca is made from glutinous rice (ground rice), boiled then fried with lots and lots of brown sugar. YUM!

I Want One Too!

Posted by girlie on

Boo! What’s that serious look on your face? ^_^ Shown here is Ish enjoying the Nintendo DS Lite recently given by Lolo and Mama (grandpa & grandma) to Josh. Oh I forgot to mention that they gave Ish a 21-inch sony TV too. Anyhoo, I asked Ish to smile for me when I took this photo. Nah, she can’t, as she’s too engrossed with the game. Today she asked if she could get herself a DS Lite too. Now she has a pink one, and her brother has a white one. Can Mom have a light blue one? Haha, you wish! Well I can always borrow, anyway I’m the one keeping it during schooldays. Here’s to a more relaxing day playing the DS! I need this kind of entertainment, before I snap doing SPs, lol!

Hip Clothes for Babies

Posted by girlie on September 29, 2007

I love dressing up my kids when they were younger. I would do my usual rounds at the malls in search of nice comfortable clothes for them. I’d usually pick beautiful and trendy cotton tops for them. I love the feel of cotton, it’s soft and does not cause itching at all. I would dress them up with cute baby clothes, and most often than not, I would hear nice comments from people who see them. They would always compliment what my children are wearing and sometimes they would ask where I buy clothes for them. Now that they are bigger, I still pick trendy and comfortable clothes for them.

Paris in Las Vegas

Posted by girlie on

Want to experience Paris in Las Vegas? Then you have to stay in Paris Las Vegas. This is a world class hotel right in the heart of the strip. Almost every attraction you may want to see is just a walk away. It is really conveniently located. This particular hotel caught my attention when we spent 3 nights in Las Vegas, it’s really beautiful especially at nights. The hotel has a French theme, complete with European furniture and designs. Aside from the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and The Louvre can also be found in this hotel. So if you want to experience Paris in Las Vegas, stay at Paris Las Vegas.

Bag Addicts

Posted by girlie on

I got a new bag again, I don’t know whats with bags that I can’t resist it. I guess every woman wants to own bags in different colors. This is the first time I got a bag in yellow. Isn’t is pretty? Hmmmm….now what color of shoes can I wear with this? A yellow one too? Nah, I don’t like to get a yellow shoe at the moment, too much shopping already, harhar.

This is Isha’s new school bag, when she saw this she went gaga over it. And why not, it’s just a beauty! Baby, can I borrow it some time? We actually share bags, so we don’t really feel guilty when we keep on buying, hehe. The same goes with shoes ^_^ . The nice thing about having a teenage daughter, she loves shopping too, so I’m not alone, bweeeehhhh!

And it’s not only us who shopped for bags…of course he wouldn’t want to be left behind…he wants to own one of the latest golf bags he found online. So does that make our purchase justified? Tell me!

Utility Carts

Posted by girlie on

This is what I really need right now. This will be a very big help to our helpers especially when they clean the house. It’s not a joke to clean the house, it can be very tiring. By getting this utility cart, I will be able to lessen the load of cleaning, as everything they need is already there. They don’t need to go back and forth to the storage, because this utility card can hold almost all they need for cleaning.

Wow! Another Award!

Want to Lose Weight?

Posted by girlie on

I just came across this product called  hoodia, it’s a diet pill that helps suppress a person’s appetite therefore promotes weight loss. Hoodia is a plant that looks like a cactus, it contains Hoodia Gordonii, an element known to have a natural botanical ability to suppress appetite. Remember, hoodia is not effective once it is mixed with other components. It should have sufficient amount of hoodia concentrate in order for it to be effective. Be very careful when it comes to buying this product, read hoodia’s buying guide.

Official Driver of the Week

Posted by girlie on

Our driver is still sick. He didn’t come to work since Monday. N’s the one bringing the kids to school in the morning, and I’m the one bringing them food for lunch. No, this time I’m not the one cooking. I just can’t wake up that early anymore to be able to prepare the food. Nights have been spent researching for the Library Research Report of my son, teaching the kids with their assignments, doing sponsored posts, answering emails and a little bloghopping. 24 hours is just not enough. Internet connection has been acting up for the last couple of days too, that I had to wait til one in the morning. Thank God, kids don’t have classes tomorrow in honor of the birthday of Confucious. I’m gonna sit my butt out tonight and try to beat the deadline.

This is what I have been doing while waiting for the kids’ dismissal. I started this a couple of months back and have not touched it really since I started doing paid posts. Haha, I’m almost done with the other cup. The question is, when can I finish it? It’s only when I wait for the kids that I feel like doing it, since there is no internet cafe near the school where I can spend my waiting time. ^_^ I can’t go home either, I need to save on gas, school is like 4-5 kilometer away from our house.

**I think I’ve put on some weight. All we do is eat and eat while waiting for the dismissal. Imagine stuffing my mouth for 8 hrs, yes that’s how long we wait for them. Maybe that’s the reason why I have plenty zits too, I eat too much junk food!**

What They Can Do

Posted by girlie on

If I am to have a business of my own, this time I’ll make sure that I do it right. Success of the business comes partly from very good marketing strategies. I won’t think twice of hiring people who will do the market research for me. People whose specialty is to learn what people like and the reason why they like it, then this would give me an idea on what to do and what to come up with. Synovate.com is a company constantly finding new ways of gathering facts, and turning them into strategic business insights.

Find the Time

Posted by girlie on September 26, 2007

It’s not always easy to find time to get away on a vacation, but thanks to some websites where you can get a Caribbean villa rental that gives you the comfort of home on a beautiful tropical island. With their great selection of Aruba villas, not to mention their St. Martin villas, you’ll be relaxing at the beach, spending time with your family, and forgetting about all your worries. I can’t think of a better way to spend my summer vacation than on a pristine island in a beautiful Caribbean villa. Spend some time there and I think you’ll agree with me.

Shopping Cart Software

Posted by girlie on September 25, 2007

My friend has been bugging me to help her setup her online store. Since she has been visiting my blog, she thought that it was all this easy and that I was familiar with all these stuffs about putting a website. I had to tell her that I really had limited knowledge especially when it comes to putting up an online store, which is totally different from putting up a blog. I have not shared with her this shopping cart software, which will allow her to sell online right away. This is now the trend, and everyone is going using ecommerce software. I know that she is quite scared of putting up her own online store mainly because she does not have a background on codes, and she’s afraid that she can’t manage it. Hey! Listen girl, this shopping cart is the easiest to setup, no programming, html and graphic design skills required. They have inventory, layout, and design features all in one click. It’s just a matter of you choosing which best fits the over all look of your store. It’s fully customizable, just go and check the features available. It’s also very affordable, there are monthly plans available to suit your budget. Don’t worry about anything, because if ever you encounter a problem, they provide 24/7 tech support. Now, do I need to convince you of getting this shopping cart software?

Practicing for December

The kids have been learning this dance routine (hiphop belly) for about two sessions already. They will perform this at the planned dance recital come December. Nothing is final yet, but hopefully it will push through.

Who Needs Money?

Posted by girlie on

Not everyone is blessed financially. There are times that we are low on cash, and we have nobody to turn to. There are also times that we have unexpected expenses, the kind that we never anticipated. When we are faced with these kinds of problems, what do we do? Initial reaction would be to borrow money from relatives. But what if they do not have extra money to spare? Well you can always apply for Loans. Completeloansource.com has all types of loans you can avail of. They provide loan services for everyone. You can avail of their Personal Loan, with a low and competitive loan rate. If you think it’s hard to avail this type of loan, think twice. Did you know that you need not have a collateral to be approved? You can even get an approval online, without having to wait for longer periods of time for processing. Check out their Car Loans program too. Again their loan rates are competitive, and getting an approval is not a problem either. You can also do it online, no need to go to a bank which takes longer than usual. With their instant auto loan processing, you get your approval within a few minutes.

Thank You Sweet!

  Our driver called to inform us that he can’t come today because he had sore eyes. Whenever he’s not around, I take his place bringing and waiting for the kids in school together with their yaya (nanny). Nelson fetched me in school at about 11:00, he wanted me to accompany him to Greenhills and to have lunch at Bangus Restaurant, and pay our mobile phone bills. And what else do you do when you are in Greenhills? Of course, shopping! He did his share of shopping, buying 4 pairs of jeans. He saw me eyeing this cutie silver bag, well I was just admiring it really but did not have intentions of buying it. But when he paid for the stuffs he bought, he also paid for the bag without asking me if I wanted it. Maybe it was all painted in my face that I really really like it, hehe! Thank You Sweet!

Things I don’t Like to Hear

Posted by girlie on September 21, 2007

I’ve been tagged by Chinnee and Jacelyn on 8 things you shouldn’t be telling me.

1. You’re getting thinner! (Duh! If I put on some weight, you’ll say I’m fat!)

2. Sleep early! (I’m insomniac you know!)

3. There’s something lacking in your cooking! (Go ahead and eat in the restaurant!)

4. You should be eating more! (Sorry, I don’t want to put on weight!)

5. You drive too fast! (I get impatient when I drive like a turtle!)

6. Don’t sleep in your street clothes! (Gosh, as if I do it often, just let me be
                                                                 ok? especially if i’m too sleepy)

7. You’re now rich! (No I’m not, it’s not me ok?)

8. Why don’t you have another baby? (Can you carry it for me…9 months!)

Those who have told the TRUTH are:
Ogre the Caveman
Janice this is a miracle
Trinity from Rooms of My Heart
Rinnah from It’s all about the spin…
Giddy Tiger from Giddy Tigers
Leah from Leah’s Cafe

Countless Blessings

Posted by girlie on

Wahoo! I’m one happy momma. For the first time, I was offered to do a Prime Review. Normally, I pick do to reviews from the marketplace, and it’s not all the time that there are jobs available. So I’m really happy with this one. Although I get only half of the price, $30 is not bad at all. There was only 1 time I got a $50, and everything else ranges from $5-$20. So pardon me if I’m shouting it out to the worldwide web ^_^ . I hope this will be the start, but if not I’m still very happy and contented.

Hubby’s Treat

Posted by girlie on September 20, 2007

  We finally found time today to go for our facials. It’s suppose to be a monthly thing, but we missed out on August because of our busy schedules. Good news! They got a little white heads today, compared to July’s which was really yucky, black and white heads combined. Today I had deep cleansing with collagen mask, they say collagen is to firm the facial muscles. Last July I had deep cleansing too but with seaweed mask for open and large pores. They suggest that I go alternate, they only recommend this two facials for me. She suggested too that I go for power peel, well I have to think it over because it’s kinda pricey, I still have to save for that. I don’t think N will treat with me a power peel.

Reminder: If you can, you might also want to have monthly facials, it helps especially now that we’re getting a little, you know what ^_^ It’s not actually vanity, but just taking care of your skin.
