Amy Poehler, Amy Poehler, oh I saw her first in the film Mean Girls. Now she’s back, this time with two other ladies Meredith Walker and Amy Miles. They have this fun and informative show called Smart Girls at the Party. The show always features individuals who are changing the world by being themselves. It leaves a very positive thought to people who watch the show. I had the chance to watch a portion of the show in some widget that I saw, and I am impressed. I am therefor including the widget here so that you will have an idea on what I am talking about. I have a teenage daughter and I would encourage her to watch so she can further hone her talent. With all the encouragement she gets from this show, I know she’s gonna shine in her own right. Why don’t you get your own widget here and embed it to your blogs, in your facebook, and MySpace accounts. It’s cool, and it would be your own way of helping spread the word about people changing the world. Everybody needs encouragement now, and this is one of the best way to share…by embeddng the widget and let others be aware that there is such a show.
For about 3 weeks now, I have been going to bed early. I just decided one day that I needed to put a stop to this wrong practice, that is staying until the wee hours of the night. I used to think that I have insomnia or something and it gave me all the more reason to stay awake. I was always tired when I wake up in the mornings. The most number of hours I get to sleep is like 4 hours, lucky if I get 5. I was cranky and felt a lot of pain in my body. Then I realized, what am I doing to myself? From then on, I started sleeping early. Most of my online friends can attest to that. I would always bid goodbye when the clock strikes 10. My online activities kept me awake but then I have to discipline myself. I reached the point that my life somewhat depended on the internet and I didn’t quite like it. Now I’m glad that I sleep early, and I wake up early too. I now help the kids get ready for school, and I feel good doing it for them. We get to talk about anything while I help them get ready for bath, etc. I can now say that I am more of a hands on Momma.
Some of you might think it’s gross if I tell you that something wonderful can come out from your monthly cycle. It’s like you can collect and preserve stem cells that can be harvested from your menstrual fluid. And why would you do it? Let me tell you that there is a research that has come out that your menstrual fluid has self-renewing cells that can be harvested and preserved and it can be used in the future. Like how you may ask? Studies show that these stem cells that you were able to collect from menstrual fluid can help treat diseases in the future. More studies are being made at this time. Anyways, here are the lists of diseases that can be treated with the use of stem cell. These are anemia, blood and liver disease, brain tumors, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and a lot more genetic illness. I come from a family with a history of some of the illnesses enumerated. I think I will consider this in the future. There are a lot of research going on, and it points to only one thing, it can cure genetic illness. You should watch and listen to what these C’Elle Testimonials say. After watching it, I’m sure you will be interested and would want to know more about it. A lot of women have already done this and have started saving stem cells for their family members. Why don’t you Order C’elle Now . Stem cell is the future.
Ang paboritong headband ng aking dalaginding at ang paborito kong beaded necklace.
Mga bato sa iba’t-ibang shapes at color lila.
Ang Lila ay isa sa mga poborito kong kulay (Violet is one of my favorite colors). Medyo di ako nahirapan sa tema ngayong linggo ngunit nakalimutan kong sumilip kung ano ang tema para sa linggong ito, kaya heto medyo huli ang entry ko (I didn’t find theme hard, but I forgot to take a peek at the website to know the current theme, thus I’m kinda late in posting). Nahilig ako sa mga beads kaya yan ang napili kong kunan. Nagkaron pa nga ako ng bisnes nung araw at nakabenta naman ako ng madami, umabot pa hanggang US ang aking beadworks (I was once into beads in fact I was able to put up a small business selling my beadworks, sales even reached the US).
My daughter showed me last night a school circular requiring them to review for college entrance this summer. I am just really hoping that her school can provide what this SAT Test Prep gives. Aside from the fact that they help students go about these various assessment tests, they also teach time management skills and will share some test taking tips and strategies. They provide practice testing so that they can pinpoint the students’ strengths and weaknesses. I also read that they are teaching students some methods on how to overcome test taking anxiety. This is really very important because if anxiety sets in, even if a child is capable of passing the tests, he won’t be able to make it. Well that is just my opinion. One can forget something if he gets jittery and all.
I have not puffed a cigarette for 10 days now. It’s hard I tell you, I still crave so bad. I have to fight it, and by God’s grace I am able to do it. I know this is wrong but I kinda made a bargain with the Lord. You see, I had a helper who had tuberculosis and we didn’t know. No signs pointed that she had one until the day she vomitted blood. I sent her immediately to the doctor and have her checked, indeed she was diagnosed to have one. To be sure that none of us got it, we had chest xray. While waiting for the results, that’s when I said, Lord I will quit smoking if everything is ok with me. I know, I know this is sooo wrong, but you can’t blame me, I was sooo scared. I have growing kids and I still want to hug and kiss them. That is actually the story behind how I was able to hang on. Today I have been tempted to smoke, but instead of doing it, I just opted for my ever trusted Moniegold, the chewy tamarind candy who has been with me since the day I decided to quit smoking.
Whenever I see photos of the riviera maya, I always associate it with couples, more like a perfect riviera maya honeymoon destination. Picture this, a long stretch of white sand beach, exclusive seaside suites, beach beds for ocean viewing pleasures, and much more. This is the perfect picture for a perfect honeymoon, something that will linger in our hearts, something unforgettable. Now I’m itching to put it on top of my travel destination wish list. This would be a wonderful getaway for me and the hubs. We’ve been married for some 16 years already, and it would be great to be spending it with him in this wonderful destination on our 17th year, more like an anniversary present. It’s about time to renew whatever romance is lost. Let’s face it, well I only speak for myself, the level of romance is not the same anymore from what, first 5 years of marriage? This is something we should work on if we want to remain in love to each other.
I got invited by Nuffnang Philippines in cooperation with Sanofi Pasteur to attend their Flu Vaccine Awareness Seminar last Saturday, January 24, 2009. More than the free vaccine me and my daughter got, I was glad I attended. I actually learned a lot, I thought flu was just flu and nothing more, never thought that it could get deadly. This is actually my first time getting a flu shot, but not for my daughter. I’ll be sharing with you some photos I took.
It is indeed very important to get yourselves vaccinated. I learned that a lot of complications can arise from flu. So before those complications happen, avoid getting sick with influenza, go get the flu vaccine now.
The short awareness seminar was conducted by the Medical Director of Sanofi Pasteur, Dr. Ruby Mendoza-Dizon.
If you fall under these categories, it’s best that you get vaccinated. I think everyone should get one. It’s still cheaper getting yourselves vaccinated, than getting a flu that will eventually lead to complications if not well taken cared of.
Let us be aware of the symptoms of flu. Normally we just dismiss it as an ordinary cold, and yeah I am guilty of this.
Do you have plans of moving somewhere? Let me share with you my own experience with moving. I thought I was gonna save some money if we did it by ourselves. Yes we did, but that little sum can’t pay for the stress and hassle we had with all the packing and unpacking. It was really very stressful that I don’t want to think about it. The next time we move, will make sure that we hire moving services. I want to have a very good disposition the moment I step in the new place we are moving in.
Ang ganda di ba? (Isn’t it a beauty?) Kuha yan sa garden ng aking Nanay, napakadami nyang bulaklak dun, sari saring kulay, pero napansin ko parang dalawa lamang ang kulay kahel. (That was from my Mom’s garden. She has a lot of flowers in different colors. But there were only 2 orange flowers). Nakaka catch sya ng attention dahil sa kakaibang kulay na naiiba. (It will never fail to catch your attention because of it’s color) Sa garden ng aking ina ako nagsawa kumuha ng mga litrato ng sari saring bulaklak at sari saring tuwad na din ang naranasan ko para lang makakuha ng magandang anggulo…ah eh maganda nga ba? (parang ang hirap isalin sa english, wag na nga)
At one point in your life, have you thought of taking diet pills? I have a few friends who resorted to that. Some of them took a diet pill that worked, some did not. So it’s really very important to know which ones work. Normally you can at least have an idea on which ones work by going through some diet pill reviews websites. There are a lot of diet pills that are in the market today and sometimes we are at a loss on what to pick. It’s probably best if we read some of the reviews and try to compare first before buying.
I was really amused when I stumbled upon Advanced Aesthetics Associates, and I was like WOW! I was all the more encouraged to take care of myself. But really is it possible? Man you should see the photos. It’s au natural. It does not look reconstructed at all. If given the chance and opportunity, I would definitely go to them. I’m kinda interested in their Facial Rejuvenation. Shhh, this is just between you and me, harhar. Not that I am ashamed or something, but there are just people who does not seem to like it. But what the heck, I want to look good forever. Of course I won’t go for the extremes if you know what I mean. A slight enhancement here and there won’t hurt right? Come on admit it, you too would want it. When I was in my 30s I was mum about it, more like I don’t think I will ever need it. But now that I’m in my 40s and slowly seeing signs of aging, I’m getting interested in these procedures. I mean there is really nothing wrong about it in my opinion. It’s nothing like you are altering a lot of things. As I’ve said, it’s just enhancing your beauty and not totally changing it. Of course the doctors have their own techniques on how things should be done according to your age. It’s au natural remember? If you want to know more about it, you can always Schedule a Consultation with them.
I have a new website. I wasn’t planning on having another one since I can’t even manage my existing 4 blogs. I know I am crazy for adding another one. I actually bought a domain name for the hubs, and I paid for the hosting too. The hosting I got was such a good deal, and for a little amount of money, it can accommodate up to 10 websites. So I thought why not? I went ahead and bought the domain name. For $10 something I have a new website.
Please visit CreativeMomOnline.com if you have time. And if it’s not much, care to ex-links?
How about following ted on twitter? Wow! Big time! He is the CEO of Izea and it would be wonderful to casually interact with him via Twitter! I know most of us tweet…I do! So let’s all add him in our friends’ list, ok?
She submitted her entry in September 2008, and yesterday something came in the mail. We were all excited, but we couldn’t open the packet, since it was addressed to my daughter who was still at school that time. We made all sorts of guesses, mine was partly correct. I know it has got to do with her writing skills, and I was right. Pardon me if I brag, I’m just a happy Momma. Read the rest of the entry here. Haha I’m just promoting my new baby.
I’ve been telling my friends that I need to do something about this bloated feeling. Yeah I am kinda lazy to exercise these days, blame it to the cold and chilly weather. I just like to stay in bed. And yeah I have been busy too, it’s the time of the year where every renewals are to be made. Sometimes I want to resort to one of the best diet pills already because I don’t want this bloated feeling. If I don’t do something about it, probably I’ll be heavy in no time and I don’t like that to happen.
Heehee, hindi ako ganado kumuha ng litrato ano? Basta bigla ko nalang naisip ang mga bagay na yan na kulay asul. Habang nasa mood pa, kelangan click ng click.
What do you think of dermal fillers? I think it can do good to improve one’s appearance. I know of a couple of people who had this and I can say that truly they looked younger. This non-surgical cosmetic procedure is very popular this days. I’m sure the doctors who perform such procedure have watched this dermal filler training video. There is a lot to learn in this video. It demonstrates how this procedure should be done the proper way in order to see the effects. If you want to know more about this filler training dvd, you can get a copy over at vidoeshelf.com. Check out this website so you can take a look at their collection of “how to” videos.
Jet came home for a vacation and of course I have to meet her. Yeah, it’s our first time to see each other. We’ve been keeping in touch via our blogs, and sometimes I chat with her over at Y!M. Initially we were to meet at Mall of Asia, but Cuz suggested that we meet her at the airport, since she has a connecting flight to San Francisco. Jet is such a sweet girl and I like her, she’s quite shy though compared to my being a chatterbox, LOL. Too bad we didn’t have much time to talk, when you come back in 2010 Jet, I’ll make sure that I will bring you and your BigBear to Claw Daddy’s, ok? Thanks so much for the “pasalubong”.
I love this website I came across with. Their personalized books are awesome! I want to order some for the upcoming birthday of my godchild. I really appreciate something personalized, how much more kids. They would be delighted to receive personalized books with their names written on it. This is a good way to start kids on reading. As much as possible, I’d love to give books as gifts, so at an early age kids will be introduced to reading books. There are a lot of benefits if kids start enjoying books at a young age. I can tell because I have a kid who is a bookworm.
Lately I have been interested in laser hair removal, not for myself but for someone I know who is very close to my heart. I think in a way she is bothered because of the teasing she gets. She has visible hair on her upper lip, more like a mustache. We thought of shaving it, but the thing is I heard that the hair would be more visible if we do that. Then someone told me that permanent hair removal should be the answer. That kept me thinking. So what I did was go online to get to know more about it. I found an excerpt from a video that showed laser hair removal techniques. Ah so that’s how it goes. The procedure is not scary after all. I wonder if those ones who are doing it got their laser hair removal training from this video which can be bought at vidoeshelf.com? This vid is a complete guide to laser hair removal. If you want to know the techiniques, grab a copy of the vid.
Tamang tama pala ang craving ko ng noodles kahapon. Niyaya ko si N para kumain kami ng noodles dun. Natuwa ako sa kulay ng bowl, kaya kinunan ko ng litrato. Ang ganda against the epol green tabletop. Pero parang di lumabas na maganda sa litrato, hmp di bale na nga, nakakatamad kaya magbibit ng malaking camera. Nagpapasalamat naman ako sa aking esposo dahil parati nya akong pinagbibigyan kung ano man ang mga cravings na naiisip ko. Mabuti nalang madaming kainan sa paligid namin, di na kelangan mag drive ng malayo (basta provided karamihan ng cravings eh chinese food ha).
I used to wonder if Plum trees can grow here since my son loves it sooo much. It’s his all-time favorite fruit. He would always remind me to buy whenever we run out, but the thing is, this fruit is seasonal I guess, since I don’t see it everyday in fruit stands. I found out from aaronsfarm.com, that there are different varieties of plums. If you are interested in growing other trees please check their website, you might just find what you are looking for.
Haha, is there such a thing? Really I am very lazy to get up and start moving. I don’t feel like doing anything. I just want to stay in bed the whole day. Even a day in the mall is not appealing to me anymore, which is very unusual since I can exchange anything for some malling. I want to shake off this feeling but I don’t know how to. I promised myself to sleep early, but look it 12:41 am and I am still wide awake. I want to fix my sleeping habits and probably do something with my weird body clock, but how? Promise I won’t be staying late tomorrow and before going to bed I should read my Bible. I promised myself to get back to reading God’s word, and I already missed two days. Bad, bad me. I hope to get back and live my life the way I used to or even better. That is part of my goal for 2009.
This is just between you and me ok? Lately I’ve been deleting forwarded emails from friends and my family. Yeah I know I am silly for doing this, but sometimes it gets annoying already. It makes my inbox crowded. At first I didn’t mind at all, I just leave them in my inbox unread, until I got almost 500 forwarded emails unread. I mean this has to stop, it’s pretty hard going through important mails and having those in between. I know you agree with me on this. I think I am partly to blame too, because I was really fond of forwarding emails too. I stopped, but forwarded emails kept on coming. What do I do now? Shall I tell my friends about forwardOn.com? I think I will since I will also be using this website a lot. This is how it works. It is a website that lets you share fun emails, some video, pictures and a lot more cool stuff. All you need to do is forward the email to them and they will send you back the link to that email you sent them. You need to forward the link that you got from them because it prevents viruses, scams, clogged inbox and wasted storage. Honestly that is also one reason why I don’t open forwarded mails…I am just scared of some virus that could ruin my computer. Anyway, to continue, once your friends get to open the link (your forwarded email) that you sent them, you earn a point. The more people who view your email, the more points you get. Once you get lots of points already, you have the option to redeem your points. And what exactly are the prizes? Well some stuff from iTunes, and Amazon, if you have a good heart you can donate it to charity. That’s how simple it works. This should be a great start for 2009.
