The Conversion

Posted by girlie on December 15, 2011

Photobucket Weeeeeee! I am pretty excited. I’ve converted finally! I don’t know what to expect although I already have an idea, both husband and daughter are mac users. Ish is going to give me a tutorial because I know it will kinda be hard for me especially the synching and all. My first ever Mac will arrive this January from the US coz I asked the husband’s friend to buy it for me there. I asked him to buy a keyboard too. How I wish I could let him buy the monitor for me, but as it is I no longer have a budget for than. I am getting a generic one. I am very thankful for the writing tasks that I regularly have because it lets me buy some stuff that I really like. See, I am not too dependent after all like what everyone thinks.

It’s December?

Posted by girlie on December 5, 2011

Wow! Time goes by pretty fast. I just remembered celebrating the yuletide season not too long ago. Is it because we’re too busy that we don’t notice how time flies? Sometimes I don’t really know if I like it or not. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. I don’t because I hate the fact that my kids are growing up too fast and before I know it they will have a family of their own. Yikes, why am I even thinking about this, no not yet. Anyway, I am excited because this is my favorite part of the year. I get to see all my loved ones because of family gatherings here and there. Oh this reminds me of my sisters whom I have not seen in 3 years. I miss them terribly. Hopefully I get to see them soon.

Chains No More

Posted by girlie on September 20, 2011

I miss going to 168, crazy schedules just doesn’t permit me to go as often as I want to. I haven’t been there since June I guess and I am really itching to go. Not that I wanna go and buy something, it’s just that I feel that I’m being chained here at home. I need to go out and breathe some fresh air (like 168 is a beach getaway or something, lol). Seriously, I am so tied up with farmville that I’m on the verge of giving it up. I don’t want to coz I’ve developed a special kind of friendship with some players there, so I just can’t quit at the moment. Anyway, why am I feeling this way? I know the answer to that already. I need to shop, teehee!!!

Sick

Posted by girlie on August 6, 2011

Sick!  I hate being sick.  I really don’t know what happened and where I got this stomachache.  I’m ruling out food poisoning since I am the only one in the family who feels it.  We ate the same food in the restaurant, paella negra, lechon de leche and garlic crabs.  I think it’s the fresh lemonade I drank.  I drank with an empty stomach and now I feel all the acid in my tummy.  What I hate is the churning every 5 minutes, it’s like being in labor.  Yeah I am not kidding. I remembered the pain 18 years ago when I was giving birth to my daughter.  It’s weird now coz I know I am not preggers.

Buzzzzyyyy Bee!

Posted by girlie on January 10, 2011

It’s the time of the year again. I dread this month to come simply because everything turns abnormal. Schedules are messed up, I can’t have my normal daily routine, I’m always out in the streets either driving or simply taking the public transportation. We’re on our second week already and I feel a bit sad. I just have to shake off this feeling, I know it’s gonna be over soon.

My Longchamp

Posted by girlie on September 16, 2010

Photobucket Initially I wanted that color, but too bad it got out of stock right away. I asked my friend Anna to buy it for me in France, and it was a good decision since I was able to get a big discount. Here in the Philippines, they sell it at a little over P7000 I think, but guess what? I was able to buy it at P4500 more or less. Thanks Anna for accommodating my request.

Photobucket It’s the black one that was available. Pardon the picture, I just used my camera phone plus the car was moving at that time I took the photo. The black one is pretty too and it can actually go with anything. I love the patches too =)

Pain…Please Go Away

Posted by girlie on September 2, 2010

I feel something on my right lower back. The pain is bearable but I am alarmed. It’s the first time that I felt this kind of pain. It’s nothing like the back pains I felt before. It comes and goes, not really sure of the intervals. Hopefully it goes away tomorrow. I am actually scared, I don’t want to find out that I am sick or anything. I hope I just got this from too much aerobics. I’ll observe the pain for a day or two and if it does not go away, I think I will have to go see the doctor.

Sharon Live in Concert

Posted by girlie on August 10, 2010

Photobucket I was given the opportunity to watch Sharon Cuneta live in concert. It’s my first time to watch her so I didn’t really know what to expect. The beginning part was boring as it didn’t start with a big bang if you know what I mean. The opening number won’t really leave a mark. But as the show progressed, it was getting better. I enjoyed the numbers of her guests, they were all good except for Piolo Pascual who I guess is not really a singer, add to that his awkward self in front of Sharon. He was kinda super prim and proper, too watchful of his moves which was very unnatural. And oh I noticed something about Sarah Geronimo too, but I guess it should be for another entry as this one gets too long already.

Thanks to Cuz Marie for inviting me and for the free complimentary ticket too.

No Internet Equals Creativity

Posted by girlie on August 1, 2010

Photobucket I woke up without internet connection yesterday. It was hard to get through PLDT’s customer service but I was able to go through 15 minutes later. Yeah you have to stay on the line for about that time and just listen to the automated voice telling you to stay on the line. Haller, like I’m gonna put the phone down, of course not! Internet is important to this household. Would you like to know how important it is? I bought a separate SUN Wireless Broadband so that we have something to use in case DSL isn’t working.

Anyway, since there was no internet the whole day, I spent time doing my beaded accessories. All the bracelets I made were sold already and I have some orders. I need to hurry on this so I can send some to the US too. My sister has been asking me to sell there too, so maybe I will when I come up with plenty of designs. So far so good, everyone is loving it.

UA Wetness

Posted by girlie on July 19, 2010

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.

MMDA Encounter

Posted by girlie on May 23, 2010

I was going slow on the intersection of Quezon Blvd. and Araneta Ave. with the intention of making a right turn. I was on the second outermost lane since I was turning. It wasn’t only me, so I was surprised why an MMDA asked me to stop. No, I didn’t stop since in my opinion I didn’t commit any violation. Yes the guy ran after me, he caught me in the traffic light. He was kinda arrogant positioning his motorcycle in front of my car as if I was a criminal. I was even the one who suggested to pull off. He asked for my license. I asked why. Violation, blah, blah, blah. Nope I didn’t commit any I insisted. Give me your license (he was already pissed off at this stage). Again I said no! Imagine what he told me, “ayaw mo ibigay ang lisensya mo, sige pare-wrecker kita.” Ha? At kelan pa nasa batas natin na kung ayaw ibigay ang lisensya nire-wrecker ang sasakyan, ha. Aba wag moko takutin. San mo ba ito gusto makarating ha? Aba biglang nakipagbati at inabot ang kamay para makipag shake hands. O di ba ang bobo? Ako pa takutin nya, hhhmmmpp. Akala siguro bagets ako, kasi pang bagets ang car ko at siempre di halata kasi nakatutubi shades ako. Siguro sa isip nya, aba pagkakakitaan ko ito at bagito pato sa kalye. Haller, yan ang akala mo, di mo lalam gurangis nako noh.

Photobucket Yan ang gamit kong tutubi shades, o di ba?

Entrecard or Adgitize

Posted by girlie on February 23, 2010

Which one works? Entrecard or Adgitize? It takes too much of my time dropping, I have 4 blogs you see. But I acknowledge that it helps when it comes to traffic. But which one is really effective? I am too lazy to read, so please someone please tell me? Haha I sound like a brat, but I owe you one, pretty pretty please?

Zebra Tips

Posted by girlie on February 2, 2010

Photobucket The last time I had nail art was a month ago. A christmas(sy) one. Then I went plain because that kind of blue I had was too beautiful and I didn’t like to ruin it. Anyway, I saw this design in one of the live updates in Facebook. I said to myself, hhhmm I’m gonna copy it. Next time I will not use silver as the base, I should have stuck with french manicure then made some zebra lines on the tips.

Woohoo

Posted by girlie on January 28, 2010

Attended aerobics class last night. To my surprise I was able to catch up with the routine. I can now blend with the other students. I was really slow before, my feet entangled coz I can’t do it. I was slow. But after 7 sessions, woohoo I did it! I’m more in love with aerobics now. I made friends too!

Aches and Pains

Posted by girlie on January 24, 2010

I did aerobics 3 times this week. That was MWF. I like the instructors during these days. I’m thinking of attending aerobics classes 3 times a week now since I’m starting to love it. Initially I only paid for 9 sessions but I’m thinking of getting 12 the next time I pay.

I noticed though that the pain did not go away. My body’s still sore from that 3 day workout. I think one factor contributing to the pain I’m not that mobile when seated in front of the computer. This is no good I noticed. I now want to limit my time doing Facebook, playing FB games included. I can’t totally give it up right now. I enjoy the company of my cyber friends. I also want to knit some more and I want to go back to sewing curtains.

Busy Bee

Posted by girlie on January 15, 2010

Photobucket

It’s the time of the year once again. I’m talking about renewals of business permits, payment of real property taxes (with 20% discount), securing Barangay Clearance, SSS Clearance, BIR payments, etc. I was able to start taking care of all these only yesterday since I was in a more important duty prior to this. Again I was able to do a sidetrip to the mall since Manila City Hall is just across SM Manila. I was able to get some good deals (I mostly purchase branded items when on sale) like 50% off for a Nike running shoes which I will use for my aerobic thingy. I got a shirt from Esprit too also for the fitness thingy. I was able to get a shirt from Bench using only my loyalty card, yay! Now that’s what you call business with pleasure!

Stomach In

Posted by girlie on December 23, 2009

Photobucket Josh found out yesterday that I was wearing what you see in the photo, except that it’s skin tone. Then he couldn’t stop talking anymore about how fat I am. He even said something like “It feels good to know that I am not the only fat member in the family.” Yeah yeah I get it. Like I said it’s 21 lbs. to date already. I don’t have any idea on how I got that heavy, it’s nothing hormonal. It’s probably the non-stop stuffing of the mouth. It’s like I’m gonna die or something if I don’t stuff food in my mouth. Thinking about the next food to eat is not helping either. Honestly I don’t know what to do. I’m not good in exercising either. I gave up the one thing I love, belly dancing. It’s boring to be dancing alone in the 4 corners of the house. I’d like to do some biking since it’s the next best exercise to swimming.

Brace Free

Posted by girlie on December 11, 2009

Finally, after more than 4 years my mouth feels normal again. The braces were removed on Tuesday, Dec. 8. TMJ cured, bite corrected. It somewhat feels strange without the braces really, probably because I’ve had it for more than 4 years. Honestly I’d rather have the braces than wear retainers. It’s too bothersome for me. But you see I need to wear it otherwise 4 years will be gone to waste. Probably for the first year, I’d be wearing it day and night, but on the second year I’ll just wear it at night.

Hoping to be Thin…Again

Posted by girlie on October 14, 2009

Photobucket Ouch! Translated to “Hoping to be thin again!” N did that and you know what happened to his iPhone? It malfunctioned, bleh! Haha that’s what you get for saying that I am a pig, yikes just kidding! But seriously I am alarmed more than ever. I am at my heaviest, even heavier than my post natal weight. The only good thing that came out is that I got bigger boobies now, but the boobies and the tummy has the same height level so it’s not noticeable, well the tummy is! I started using the treadmill, but I missed it today since I drove the kids to school. I was too tired when I got home. I’m driving the kids to school again tomorrow, but I will limit my FB time to accommodate some fitness time, yeah!

*I am not kidding about N’s iPhone, it’s now with Globe.

Big Arms!

Posted by girlie on October 5, 2009

I visited Mom yesterday. We actually had lunch there as usual. That is our routine every Sunday. We go to church first, then have lunch at their place, then dinner at the in-laws. Anyways, Mom told me over lunch that I had big arms. And she even asked if this was my heaviest, coz she thinks it is. I hate to admit but she is right. I am at my heaviest right now and I am getting frustrated already. I need to look up what kind of fat burners are really working. Yeah I exercise too but not regularly in fact I started yesterday again after not doing it for 2 months. I hope to keep my fitness thingy unless I want to turn to something I would really hate.

Can You Tell?

Posted by girlie on September 24, 2009

Photobucket Nah, I am not addicted at all! I just love to stare at them. Ahem! Seriously I just can’t get enough of bottles and bottles of nail polish. Good thing they are not really that expensive, they are dirt cheap! Most of them cost only P10 (20 cents), small bottles though but still. As you can see, I almost have all the colors. What’s next to it? Nail art of course! Yep I do my own nail art, a bit messy when it comes to my right fingers but I’m improving.

Photobucket That’s my bluer than blue version. It’s a random design that I thought of, I wish I was more artistic and not copy designs from my nail art book. But meantime, lemme just be a copycat!

Black is Black

Posted by girlie on September 17, 2009

Photobucket Excuse the mess in the background. I’m at my daughter’s room, no I’m not saying that she doesn’t fix her stuff 0_0 . Well I posted that photo because I’ve been really obsessed with black clothes lately. It’s like whenever I go out, you’ll always see me in black. Good thing that in one of my shopping trips over at 168, I found at least 3 simple yet cute black dresses, one that can double up as a top when worn with leggings or something. I just love it, and the best part is I bought it only for two hundred fifty pesos (that’s about $6). It looks similar with that Zara top I’m wearing, the only difference is with the material, well what do you expect, right?

Boylie not Girlie 0_0

Posted by girlie on September 12, 2009

Photobucket Oh yeah I had a haircut, a short one. It happened 2 weeks ago. The people from FB know coz I posted some photos there. Dang! Why do I always think that everyone is in Facebook? Angge I know I promised to post a picture here in my blog, but then a lot of things come up, like taking care of my cyber farm both in Farmtown and Farmville. Geez, talking about getting addicted to these FB games. Used to be Restaurant City and Pet Society, now it’s farming. Hhmm I’m thinking of having it cut again, I mean my hair probably in a few weeks, like put bangs perhaps?

MIA

Posted by girlie on August 28, 2009

It feels strange! I miss FB! I miss my farm 0_0 . I miss going online! I only have a few minutes to check, I can have more actually but my body just can’t take it. I feel so tired in the afternoon after my cooking class. When I get home, all I want to do is just lie down and sleep. I can’t even cook for the family. My schedule is really odd, but everyone has to make do with it. This will only be until Sunday, which is the verdict. Will I get my Certificate of Confidence from TESDA?

Grace Under Pressure

Posted by girlie on July 22, 2009

We all go through trials in our life. Life is not indeed a bed of roses. But you know what? You can still come out victorious only if you seek God’s will. What I’ve learned is that in every trial that the Lord has given us, one should ask oneself, what is your message Lord? We cannot help but question God sometimes, that is our human side. But if we have God in our heart we would be patient in finding out what His message really is. Everyone go through trials, each individual have different reactions. Since I have God in my heart, I have to face my trials as how God wants it. Even under pressure, I should still be able to be a blessing to others. It’s hard, but if you cling on to His promises, nothing is really impossible. You will learn a lot of things from it and you can always say “The best is yet to come!”

“There’s nothing, my friend, that will bring you more face-to-face with God than going through the dark valleys of life. When you are there, you are going to cling to His garments and hold onto His hand. You won’t stray far from the fold in the dark. Do you believe that He is with you? The ultimate Sovereign is your loving Savior.”
