Whenever I see beautiful things, I can’t help but want to have it as well. I dream when I can’t have it, there’s nothing wrong, it’s free anyway. I usually dream about home stuff. I like to have a beautiful home, who wouldn’t? So when I see something extra-ordinary I take note of it and usually copies it. I’m normally in a copycat mood when I get back from a vacation. I would admire themed bedrooms and would wish I can convert our own bedroom. While on vacation, we stayed at this place which had a rustic theme. The pine beds were just awesome. It was the best accent in the bedroom. I don’t know if I already mentioned that I have quite a fascination for woods. I love it more than anything else. If only I am to be followed, I would probably make my house a country home.

That’s my FIL’s version of Machang. He is 93 years old and he still cooks it. Nothing in the taste changed, it’s still the same yummy machang. To me he makes the best machang and hopefully I’ll get him to teach me or better yet I should be present when he cooks it so that I’ll see how he makes it. Yeah, one of these days I will ask him to teach me. Machang is one of my son’s fave so I need to learn how to do it. Hopefully it would taste the same as my FIL’s version. I actually do not know what it’s made of, but I thing he used sticky rice and placed pork, chicken, liver and gizzard.

Weeee! We found a way to purchase applications in the iTunes store. We were kinda problematic because there was this game that we liked to play and it can be bought at the store. Someone told us that we can purchase itunes card provided we have a US account. We do have one so we were able to buy quite a lot of cool applications. I heard that these cards are also atitunes gift card online in different denominations. We normally get the $10 card. Sometimes we use it up in just one day. You can’t blame us, there are just too many cool applications that can be used. For those of you who do not have time to go to the stores, just remember that there are itunes cards online anytime.

I don’t know what got into me when I mentioned an option to lose weight to my son who is only 15. Losing weight is also his frustration. Now we are on the same boat. This is probably where colon cleanse came in the picture. We were talking about ways to lose weight and how hard it is to try and lose weight. Since I have been reading and writing about ways and means to lose weight, I mentioned it to him one time. Now he can’t forget about that conversation. He says it when he wants too, like candidly that’s why I just laugh it off. I don’t know if I’m wrong mentioning it to him, but it’s already been said and done. Now how can I redeem myself? I’ll probably just say that it is one of those intelligent conversations.

Update on the dance floor. Ok, so the aerobics instructor was not just absent. Truth is, he got sacked. I don’t exactly know the reason behind it, but I heard it was his absences that cost him to lose his job. I pity him, his wife just gave birth but what can I do? It’s the management’s decision. Anyway, I blogged about not liking his replacement. It turned out that it wasn’t only me who didn’t like his moves. When asked if we liked him, others said no. I wasn’t there when they asked about him, but that is no longer important. Anyway, this new instructor is so fun. He’s kinda old and bald already, and when you look at him, he doesn’t seem fit to be an instructor. But when I saw him move, OMyGosh I will always look forward to Thursdays! In other words, I am in love with him. Oh he’s gay by the way, teehee!

So what if I’m FAT? I wish I can say that. I really get bothered when people make side comments about me being fat. They make it appear as if I am not pleasing to look at. Nasty! If only I can tell them to mind their own busines, but that is rude. I was not brought up that way. Anyway, just to let you know, I am doing something about my weight. And since I hear a lot of nasty comments, I often find myself taking a look at over the counter diet pills that work. How did I know about the brands? I search the internet and read reviews. Sometimes I ask my friends if they have tried it and if the results are positive, I take note of the name.

It’s pretty obvious that my family love dogs. We used to have 8 but now we only have 4. Our dogs are like security guards, well they serve as our security guards. They hear even the faintest footsteps. They bark at the sound of it. Funny thing is, when 1 starts barking, all 4 of them bark. You can just imagine the noise and those thieves and robbers will have second thoughts of attacking the house. Two of them have undergone dog training and I can say I am impressed. Well most of our visitors get impressed too. I wish I can have all dogs trained, but we don’t have the time to do it anymore. We teach them a thing or two based on what we learned at the training. So far, so good!

Wow! Nice! Those were the two words I said when the husband brought that painting home. It’s actually the very first painting we have. It was given to him by his client for the photography service he rendered him. I guess I am not allowed to say the name of the artist, but he is quite well known here.

What do you think is the safest investment nowadays? Seems like every investment you take has risks. There are players who are not too afraid of risks in fact they welcome it. Others know how to play around it already. But for those common people who have a little extra and they want to invest, I heard that one of the safest is investing in us coins. Others consider this as one of the safest way to protect one’s wealth. One can also learn that gold can be more stable than our current paper currency. If you notice, price of gold has not gone down, it either goes up or just remain the same. I don’t know much about investing in gold, but if you plan to invest, I suggest that you do some readings first or better yet consult people that are in the know.

Went to the gym today. Well nothing really new because I go 5x a week. I so love aerobics that I don’t plan to stop at all. If I find Zumba near our place, I will enroll too. You see, I love to dance and to me this is the best form of exercise. I was staring hard at myself in the mirror while doing weights. Good news, I lost some weight. There is really no need to go into diet pills at this time. But I want to know, does Hydroxycut work? I’ve read quite a number of reviews but I really want to hear it from someone I know so that I can ask questions regarding this diet pill.

You will kill me if you’ll find out where I got this from! I know I am being silly here but what can I do? I am enjoying every bit of my time in Farmville. This is our bonding time with my online friends and we help each other level up. I’ve reached level 100 with the help of my friends, with horse and cow breeding too. What’s next, I don’t know. It’s getting exciting each day. Sometimes it gets stressful, but most of the time it keeps me away from boredom.

I saw one of my cousins the other week. I noticed that her dark circles have gotten prominent. It wasn’t like that the last time I saw her and that was like 2 months ago. I’ve been asking her if she’s been experiencing sleepless nights but according to her she gets a sound sleep every time. Now I wonder what causes her dark circles. I got really bothered that I started looking for a dark circle eye cream I can recommend for her to use. I know you will agree with me that having it is not a sight to behold. You can conceal it only up to a certain level, but it will always be obvious. Do you agree with me?

There was a time I was really in love with Blackberry in fact I owned one. I remember at that time, it wasn’t as big here in our country. Only a few people owned it and luckily I was one of them. I enjoyed using it simply because I didn’t have a hard time with sending SMS. One thing positive brought about by BB is that I stopped texting while driving.
Anyway, remember I was without a mobile phone for a couple of weeks? A friend of mine was lending me her blackberry storm. I was really tempted to borrow it, but then again I didn’t like to be attached to it so I didn’t. Good thing after a few days, I got the mobile phone of my choice.

Our aerobics instructor was absent yesterday. Someone took his place. When I saw his moves, I knew from the very start that I won’t be able to catch up. I know, I am not really new to this thing having done aerobics for about a year now. But compared to my buddies who’s been doing it for 20 years already, I am a newbie. I tried my best to follow his instructions though, but the thing is I can’t understand him and can’t barely hear him. All I hear is his loud oooooooooooo, whatever that is. Anyway I got stressed in the middle of the workout because of frustration so I just decided to go home and just step on the treadmill. I did 30 minutes and it bore me to death. I really love some action on the dance floor.

Daughter Ish got so busy that she totally forgot about her driving lessons with her uncle. She still has a lot to learn in fact she still has not driven in a busy major road. I just wish that she will find time or should I say she will have the time to learn so that she can now drive me wherever I want to go. Haha, the Mom has vested interest. Anyway, I just remembered that I have to get insurance for one of the cars. I can probably pick from one of these car insurance companies. I hope to find a good deal from one of them otherwise I would be driving the streets sans insurance. Now that’s a bit scary!

I plan to change the packaging of my small business. I want to make it a little more catchy and edgy. I don’t know, but when I buy a product, packaging plays a big role when it comes to the deciding whether to buy it or not. Is it the same way with you guys? Anyway, since I plan to change the packaging, I might as well change my existing label. I want one of these Custom Labels, or something like it. The designs are just superb and I know I can’t come up with something like that. I am saying this because as you all know, I am fond of DIY stuff, but when it comes to labels and all, I am hands off. It’s not just my cup of tea.

That is my ultimate wish, not with the Chef of course! I am talking about the Teppanyaki Grill. I really want to have that at home. I think it would be fun and a different kind of bonding for the family since all of us love eating. Wish I can something like that made. I wish too that it would not be that expensive so that this dream of mine will come to reality.

I am still waiting whether what they (meaning my friends) say is true. I am so excited already because I’ve been longing to have longer hair. I hope the vitamins they gave me can truly help in my quest for a longer hair this year.
Anyway, I noticed that I have been taking care of my hair a whole lot lately. It’s probably because it got damaged the last time I had something done. I know, I should be blamed on what happened, I now own the most distressed hair. It’s a good thing that I got help from this Beauty Supply store. I found a lot of items that can be used in restoring the original lustre of my hair. It’s so frustrating when you look in the mirror and all you notice is how your hair seems to be dull. I hope the product I found online called Kerastase Oleo Relax can help solve my problem. I have no idea if it works because none of my friends have used it. I have read a lot of positive reviews though and it gives me the go signal to go ahead and use it. Will let you know if the result is positive or not. Anyway, I found another interesting product in the same website. It’s called Moroccan Oil. have you heard about it? Have you tried using it? If yes, I want some feedback as to how it works. Is it effective? Hopefully I’ll hear from you guys.

What’s with men and their numerous collections? Guns, bikes, cars, shoes, women, clothes, gadgets, etc. Compared to women, I think we have less. Well I really do not know, I am just speaking for myself. I just love shoes and bags, among others, hehe. Kidding aside I just love shoes and bags, that’s it. Oh, I think I forgot to include mens ties in their collection. I was really surprised finding different kinds of ties in different colors in the husband’s suitcase when we moved to our house after we got married. I was like men collect ties too? Apparently they do. They are not contented with just 1 or 2, it has to be dozens to match every shirt they have. Oh well, I don’t have any reasons to complain, I too have my own set of collection.

I am so happy that my son has finally agreed to go into some fitness routine. We’ve been encouraging him ever since I can remember, but all he wants is just to play video games. Well until now he is still into it, but this time he can squeeze in fitness. I asked him to join the kickboxing class and he happily agreed in fact he is starting to love it. He looks forward to it and is willing to stay overtime. Hopefully he loses some weight along the way which is the main target why we are encouraging him to go into fitness.
*It’s just his second session and he already showed signs of improvement said his coach.

The daughter is celebrating her 18th birthday this August. It seemed like only yesterday when I carried her in my arms. She has grown into a beautiful and obedient young lady. She is not thinking of a grand celebration like other 18 year olds, but instead she either wants to go out of the country or have her own car. I plan to have an intimate celebration but just for a chosen few, those people really close to her heart. I was thinking of giving custom usb drives, my way of saying thank you to all her friends for loving her, understanding her and keeping her company all the time. I can’t believe that all these are happening this year. Can someone pinch me, please?
