I dreaded this day to come, not because I can’t accept the fact that I’m turning a year older. There’s actually so much to be thankful for, for one it was another year that I got to spend with the kids, my joy and pride. Second, I am blessed with good health…and so much more.
I spent it at a very unusual manner, quite sad but if I think about it now I am still very happy coz I am now definite of one thing important in my life. Yes technically I am 43, but deep in my heart I am only 42 for the day has stopped on the 18th of June.

My, my! It’s Thursday already? Hmm what did I accomplish so far this week? Root Dye - check! Root Dye - check? What? that’s all I did? Nah, of course I did my normal routine like wake up at 5:30 in the morning to help the kids prepare for school. Then I do my online stuff. I make sure that I finish every assigned task given to me. I drop (entrecard) too or should I say bloghop. I’m now trying to keep in touch and read blogs in my blogroll which I haven’t done in ages. I don’t know what happened to me, probably too much internet work kept me from visiting my fave blogs. I guess we are all guilty of that. Oh I also went to my darling doll’s school to talk to the HS supervisor. She was in a meeting at that time so I was not able to talk to her. The secretary promised that she’ll call me but never did, oh well. This is with regards to the College Entrance Review. IMHO I am to decided whether or not I want my child to enroll in such. It is also my right to choose the Review Center I want my child to enroll in. You get my point now?
We had dinner last night at some fancy restaurant at Dusit. I forgot to take photos, darn me! There were lotsa food (japanese).
I’ll have a long day today. I will tell you about it tomorrow ok?

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.

I feel sick and sluggish lately. Is it the weather? Do signs point to…ah I don’t want to think about it. Not yet, I’m only in my early 40s. Am I gaining weight? I don’t think so too. Then what is it? Actually I don’t want to think about it. Let me just put it this way, I miss shopping! But for those ones who feel the same way like I do, you might want to read orovo detox reviews, it might solve the problem. Yeah, I think I have to consider cleansing my body, that might be it…the culprit!

I wasn’t able to buy the ones from McDonalds, all gone before I can get them. When I went to Quiapo the other day to buy some yarns for my knitting hobby, I passed by this store selling household stuff. I went inside thinking of buying a smaller deep fryer and a battery operated cheese shredder. Nope I did not find them but found this glass instead. I got 4, yes only for the 4 our us. I instructed my angels to take it out only when we have of course Coke. We had baked ribs last night, coke is perfect for that. Then all of them said in unison, “Music, ilabas ang electric fan”, that’s from the coke commercial on TV. Heehee, psychological, but coke tasted different in that glass…totoo!

Haha, I mentioned in my plurk that I wanted to shift into a new template for this blog. Tada! Presenting the new theme! My hands got itchy the other day wanting to tweak and tweak the codes until I finally came up with this. It took awhile though since knowing me I’m no code genius. It’s sort of a hit and miss thing! I was short of giving up coz I got crosseyed looking at the codes and trying to figure how to fix it. I still couldn’t figure out how to justify the entries though, even if I try it in the write page, it does not apply. I’ll just leave it as is at the moment until I have enough energy to tweak yet again. And oh the pictures go on the left side too even if I wanted to put it in the center. I wonder where I can find the code for this.

I woke up today feeling good but with a heavily puffy eyes. I cried a river last night over something I really can’t understand. I was frustrated because I wasn’t able to do anything about it at first. It took me an hour to finally get the message absorbed. I can’t go into details as yet, but I am glad that things are a little ok over there. And what did I do with the puffy eyes? I took a washcloth, wet it with cold water from the fridge, placed it on my puffy eye, and voila it’s not as puffy anymore. I have to go now so I can do the other eye. It would be funny having “one eye jack”, eye makeup will not do the trick. Won’t be going online for the rest of the day, oh maybe later tonight though. I will be at school waiting for the kids until they get out. Need to bring them lunch and just wait for them. Gasoline prices have gone up so I can’t afford going back and forth. I’ll just have to do knitting to while away the time. Bloghopping and entrecard drops will have to be put on hold, well just for 12 hours. Everything will resume tonight.

I woke up this morning feeling awful. I had a terrible headache. Yesterday my nape/neck hurt so bad. I am wondering now if I have hypertension. Or am I anemic? They say that both have the same symptoms, so that kept me thinking, is it anemia or hypertension. Dad’s side is hypertensive, Mom’s side is anemic, I hope I was in between. I think I am until yesterday and today. Boo, I worry too much. It’s probably lack of sleep that’s why I feel this way. But I have been sleeping really early, say 12 midnight, yeah that’s early to me since I normally sleep at 2 am the earliest. Ah I don’t know what to think anymore. I’ll just have myself checked by the doctor, then probably have blood chemistry. Ok, time to hit the sack. It’s 12:52 am. See you all in the morning! Good Night!

I was treated to a Thai Massage (my 2nd) yesterday by the hubs. Do you wanna know why? Because I gave him a pedicure. I normally do his toenails and sometimes a bonus manicure too. He likes how I do it compared to the ones in the salon. Probably because he can lie down and sleep while I do the pedi. When he woke up, he checked on it and blurted his usual “no red and shine?” I hate it too when people who do my nails put merthiolate after, I don’t actually see the point there.

When I logged in to one of my accounts, I got the biggest surprise of my life! All the props that were given to me were all gone! Not that I have much, it just that I got used seeing those props. So what I did I went to check on the others. Ah good, it’s not happening to me only. I actually have not read anything about it in my dashboard. First, I got something like Messages: -1…and now all props are gone. Is there a glitch? Is it a new strategy? Whatever it may be, I’m still very much happy I’ve got you. Ok, time to give out props once more.

It’s the photographer in me and nothing else. I saw this signage while walking along Orchard Road in Singapore, it just caught my attention. I wonder why I have not seen that back in 2004. Ah I know, I was not into photography then but just wanted to be photographed all the time, hehe. Really, I guess anyone who loves photography will take notice of that signage, it’s something, something I find funny and extra-ordinary. I couldn’t stop myself from taking a pic, I wonder what others who took notice were saying. Do I care? Not at all, as along as I bring home an awesome shot and post it here, harhar.

Noticed the curly hair? I had it done at Vivo City, haha. It’s just temporary and only in front. I don’t know but sometimes I just go for curly hair, no this time I don’t want it permanent but the wash and wear type of curls. My hair is too short to be able to curl it by myself unless it’s ok for me to get burned. I tried it on my daughter when we attended a party on Sunday and she loved the small curls I made on her hair. I wanna try again and again doing it to myself even if my hair is still short coz I love what it did to my frame. The gadget came with gloves, so I think it’s just a matter of perfecting it.

I swear I look good in it, but the picture does not do justice. Bwaaahhh, how much more am I gonna convince you. Anyways, that is what I bought from the moolah Cuz Marie gave me for my birthday. She said she does not know what I want, so it’s safer to give moolah. Sweet! I bought the shades from Top Shop, one of my favorite shops whenever I have lotsa moolah. I just like the shape, something that I normally see from the moviestars, haha. With my biggie bag and a biggie shades, can I pass up? Dream on Girl!

Duh, you don’t have the right to complain. He just said for you to drink milk everyday, non-fat that is. He didn’t tell you to have anything else on the side. You promised him to hit the treadmill everyday even for a good 15 minutes, but did you do it? Yeah I am talking to myself, haha. I can’t complain about having a bulging/bloated tummy, it’s my fault. I can’t help munching and having midnight snack almost everyday. Bad me! I have to do something about it now, otherwise someone will come up to me and ask when am I giving birth. Duh like at my age I still can, LOL. Boo me really, no self discipline. If I don’t stop then I’ll look like the 108 lbs. I used to be way back in the mid 90s, nah I don’t want that to happen. I don’t want to look like a bean bag.

Bringing the restaurant feel to the dinner table. That is always in my mind. You already know how hard it is to feed my family, that is why I am trying my best to improve on my cooking skills if there’s any. If only I can set up our dinner table the way restaurants do, I would do it really. Let’s face it, table setup helps. The ambiance helps…it makes food taste a lot more better, well at least for my family.
Do you want to find out how much I bought that square white plate? You’d be surprised if I tell you that it costs only 30 pesos (about US$ 0.68). I am so lucky that we live near Dapitan. I am fond of going there for a lot of great deals. That’s where I bought the basket for my yarns too.

Sometimes I do think whether I am really a girl ^_^. I remember playing a lot of games for boys when I was younger. Yes I played with dolls but I wouldn’t last that long. Maybe one of the reasons why I was “tomboyish” when I was younger is because I often played with my brother. I would do boy stuff with him. This might be one of the reasons too why I go for big watches. I don’t know but I have a certain fascination for that. My wrist is small, but I appreciate wearing big watches. Those are my 3 collections of biggie watches. Hubby was kind enough to lend me his junior watch. That is actually the size I find perfect for my wrist. I will have it adjusted so I can wear and enjoy it. Yay!

It was raining hard yesterday while we were in Greenhills. This is what it gives you when it rains hard and the a/c in establishments are not turned off. It’s scribble time! That was the door leading to Fully Booked, my daughter’s favorite bookshop. She can’t help but scribble her chinese name. Good thing the guard at the entrance does not seem to mind, but she did open the door when we started taking pictures. She just smiled and didn’t stop us when she saw that we were taking pictures of the thing on the glass door. We were like little kids, it was kinda odd to see us, something like “what are these people doing?” Ahhh we are just having fun, something that I believe is not often done by a mother and daugther tandem. Yes we both can be crazy sometimes and that makes me loved by my kids. And that is what you call a HiPnCooLMoMMa!

Wee! Finally my chin is no longer infested with zits for 2 months now. Do you wanna find out the solution? Nope it’s not with the toothpaste although I was advised by the dermatologist to shift brands. I did, I’m now using a hypoallergenic toothpaste, but still it gave me zits. Now here’s the story. When I brush my teeth, I don’t use a glass to gargle water from. I use my hand. Barbaric isn’t it? LOL. So tendency is, toothpaste flows from my mouth to the chin which I conclude is the reason why I have zits on my chin. But since I started using a glass and being extra careful that no toothpaste touches my skin, it has improved little by little until the day that no zits appeared. Now the zits on the other part of my face, that I don’t have any explanation yet. Will keep you updated once I find out the reasons for the appearance of zits on some parts. How I wish I will be pimple free, gosh I’m no longer a teenager and I’ve had enough already.

The weather we have right now is giving me a headache. It could be bright and sunny in the morning then all of a sudden it’s overcast. Crazy weather I may say. It sometimes spoils our activities. We are so ready to have fun in the sun, then suddenly it rains. I am not complaining here, am I? It just spoils everything. It gives me a headache too, the sudden change in temperature. If only I can stay inside a room with constant temperature then I wouldn’t be experiencing these terrible headaches. I don’t want to take anything for it too, since we all know that constant use of medication can also do harm to our vital organs. I wish I knew how to do something about the crazy weather.

You know what I did all day? I slept! I haven’t had the luxury of sleeping all day since when? Gosh I can’t remember anymore. No one bothered me even if I didn’t leave word with the people in the house. They just let me sleep, thank you. Until now I still feel sleepy (at 10:33 in the evening), so odd, it’s at this hour that my evening starts. I sleep like what 2 am? sometimes 3 am? If N does not remind me to sleep, I can last until sunrise. Bad! I’m starting to feel it. I get tired easily and when I wake up in the morning, my head spins. I can’t stand up right away. I have to sit down for a good 10 minutes before I can stand up. Blame it on my body clock. But how come I don’t feel right? Maybe because I don’t get the required 8 hour sleep. Yeah that’s it! But isn’t it when you grow older, you sleep less? Now where did I hear that?
*Masarap - yummy; feels good (in this case)

We have no reason not to exercise anymore. N has always been asking me to go biking with him everyday, but everytime he asks me, I always turn him down. Blame it on the Obagi system I am using since December, it keeps me away from the sun. N feels like we don’t have enough exercise (even if I go belly dancing twice a week), especially my son who does nothing but sit in front of his laptop every single day. He is actually the reason why we bought that treadmill. Now we exercise together, him on the treadmill and me on the bike/stepper. He runs a kilometer, while I do mine about 30 minutes. We want him to run at least 3 kms. in a day, but since he is not yet used to it, we are giving him an allowance for that. Maybe we’d do it gradually. 1 km on the first week until he reaches 3 kms or even more.

If you noticed, I have not been online for longer periods since the beginning of this week. We were busy preparing for Regine Tolentino’s Dance School Annual Summer Program. As usual I was stuck doing the beading of my costume, yep last minute again. I didn’t want to have a new costume but I don’t know why I changed my mind. Probably because there was a bra that was halfway done already only sitting in the drawer. So I thought, why not continue doing it. All my time was spent with beads, thread and needle. I had to do my SPs in a hush, and in between. I didn’t have that much time visiting the blogs in my blogroll. I had some time spent over at twitter, well I can’t do away with it. I already have more than 2000 twits. So now you know why, lol. Since Monday we have been practicing hard, spending like 4 hours in the dance studio polishing our routine. It was no joke dancing in heels. I felt my leg muscles harden coupled with backaches. Ahhh the joys of participating in a recital. I treated it more like excercise really, so my body felt good. The hard part is waking up at 3 in the morning just to get ready for the big day. I know, why that early? Because once again, the recital was featured in Unang Hirit at GMA 7. We once again got our 1 minute fame, lol.

OMG, I can’t believe there are people who do not have manners when leaving a comment in certain blogs. Like duh, is it really necessary? If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t leave comments ok? You try to be funny? Nope, you don’t sound funny at all. It’s just plain rude, what is that, you leave comments just for the sake of leaving a mark? Sad, you make people sad…ah make that you make people hate you. What you have are uncollected comments, can’t you be sensitive enough to think you’re hurting other people?
*I happen to read a comment from another blog left by someone and I just find it foul, even if it was meant as a joke.*

I adopted three boys, aged 16, 13 and 9. Well just for a day. Josh wants to know how it feels like having boys in the house, well aside from his Dad. I invited his cousins to stay with us overnight. They had so much fun, playing different kinds of video games. One played Wii, the other psp, the other one was online. They requested if they all could sleep in one room. I had to pull the mattress from the guest room to put it in Josh’s room. And you know what? They slept at 3 in the morning. Today I brought them to the cinema to watch What Happens in Vegas. I was quite worried because there was a 9 year old boy with us. I felt like I committed a mistake in picking the movie…but I so wanted to watch it. N didn’t want to accompany them to watch another film which required parental guidance too. We all wanted to watch What Happens in Vegas. I guess they enjoyed the film too because I got an SMS from their Mom telling me that her boys enjoyed their overnight stay and the movie.
Now I know what it feels like having boys and an only girl.
I dreaded this day to come, not because I can’t accept the fact that I’m turning a year older. There’s actually so much to be thankful for, for one it was another year that I got to spend with the kids, my joy and pride. Second, I am blessed with good health…and so much more.
