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.
Brought Josh to the barber shop today. It’s the first time that he didn’t whine about his new hair. It actually fits him and I told him that that’s the kind of haircut I want him to sport all the time. On our way up I asked him who is your crush? And this is his reply, “Nobody Mom, coz nobody really knows how to cook well.” Boy oh boy! What a requirement! Ladies start playing Cafe World already or Restaurant City, get it?
Another haircut yet again. This time I had it really really short. But it has grown since I had it a couple of weeks back. I think I want to schedule for another one. It gets pretty boring when you are trying to grow your hair. I think of ways on how to make it look more preppy, but daughter Ish begs to disagree. She says I look funny in that photo, she just finds it weird wearing headband with very short hair. I keep insisting that it looks fine, but I know it does not, but what the heck. I want to experiment with different dos once in a while.
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.
We’ve been trying hard to put someone on diet for the past years already. We’ve bribed him, we’ve convinced him and we even got him a treadmill. There was a time he lost weight, but he gains it back after awhile. Last night I was having suman with chocolate (he already had his share). And he goes:
J : Mom, can I have some?
Me : Sure, go ahead.
Me : I thought you wanted to lose weight?
J : Yeah Mom, but it’s hard. It’s like quitting smoking.
J : Right Mom?
Me : *smacks forehead*
I really couldn’t remember how we ended up in this conversation. My son was talking about the jobs he wants to have when he’s out of college. On top of his list is being a chef, a surgeon, a photographer, then a computer programmer, a teacher, a stylist (ala Zohan, goodness, I wanted to smack my forehead). I told him that they only make good money in the movies. I know they do make good money but hey I don’t like him to be that. And he wants to be a domestic helper in America because he says they make good money, even better than those holding decent jobs (smacks forehead again). I don’t know if he’s being serious or he just wants to humor me. And listen to this…”oh Mom, I want to have the ultimate job…a blogger. Seriously Mom, do you really make money? Like what, $5 once in a blue moon?” At this point I couldn’t stop laughing. I wanted to stop the car and park at the side of the road. Really this lil big boy of mine can be hilarious at times…oh make that all the time. This is actually the reason why I love driving them around. Conversations like this normally happens in the car.
We watched this film in Promenade tonight. It was hilarious, both Ish and me couldn’t stop laughing, Ish even snorted. Yeah that’s how funny the movie is, well at least for us. Meryl Streep is good. At her age, she is still very pretty and graceful. Ish all the more wants to visit Greece. Greece is lovely and I wanna go with her when she visits. I think that’s on top of her list of the places she wants to see. She wants to meet the gods and goddesses, hehe.
Anyway, did you know that my son would name his kid Nebuchadnezzar? While in the car on our way to the cinema, I don’t know how names of kids popped in. Since they know that all our names (me and my siblings) were derived from the Bible, he said he would pick a bible name too. And the first that came to mind was Nebuchadnezzar. His dad reacted. “He is not good”. Josh replied, “he became good after seven years”. Anyways, that’s how he wants his kid to be called. And when you ask him what he’d name if it was a girl? Rebecchadnezzar! OhMyGoodness…i’ve got a funny kid.
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.
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 CuzMarie 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.
I gotta hurry and finish all these scarves. Someone is leaving for the US and this would be a great opportunity to save on postage. But with all the things that I do, will I be able to finish it on time? Like I can give up all the things that I want to do. This is the problem with me, I don’t know how to manage my time basically. I want to do all things at the same time. I easily get bored if you ask me why. I tend to shift a whole lot once I get bored. Hope there is a cure for this, arrggghhh. If you say I need to prioritize things, well you are right, but then almost everything is important to me because it gives me happiness. Haha, I can’t make up my mind, grrrrr.
*Note to self: It’s easier to crochet than knit, I could have done crochet with the scarves.
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.
I know, I started a project a few days ago, (olive green and khaki) I think I posted it here. Nope I have not finished it but I discarded it. It looked so wrong, coz I didn’t start it right. Am not saying that this blue and white one was done correctly, lemme remind you that I am new to knitting (haha ang sungit!) I have a problem with it though, it curls on the side, even if I knitted loosely it still happened. For now I don’t know the solution to this, maybe washing and ironing? But do we iron yarn material? No idea! Whether I did it right or wrong I couldn’t care less, I wanna see a finished project. Nope I’m not gonna wear that in the tropics, I’m doing it for my nieces and sisters in America. Now anyone of you want one? I’ll make you one provided you put my link in your blogs, haha how desperate. I’m just kidding so no one should take on that offer! Baboo!
I am not happy about it (but I look happy in the pic, harhar). I gained 6 lbs, and it all went to the wrong place…the tummy, grrrrrr! It was my teacher in belly dancing class who noticed it. Well actually it was me who first noticed it. Yeah you can’t see it, that’s what I love about the top I was wearing, I can still smile despite having a big bulge, no not pregnant huh. I think the weight gain started when Ish my daughter was away. We were always eating out, because we were depressed that she was not here. Yikes I should not get depressed often, coz this will be the result.
Let me ask you, what is your favorite sleepwear? Do you feel comfortable sleeping in chemise? I love the silky and satin ones, because it feels very soft on the skin. But to tell you honestly, I think I’ve only worn something like that twice or thrice. Haha, you guessed it right, one on my honeymoon and the rest just to fit what the hubs gave. I don’t have anything against wearing chemise though, it’s sexy and I should think too that this should be the proper sleepwear when you’re older. But in my case, I just can’t get over my jammies as yet.
Wee! That’s me on the 10th spot. I was able to grab 5 offers. It could have been 6, the maximum but I was too slow in grabbing. All offers left were for self hosted domains. I’ve maxed (?) out on my dotcom already and nothing left for blogspot. Darn I should have included my other two blogs and could have doubled on the moolah…aaahhh on second thought, thanks but no thanks. Mah brain could have been whacked. It’s easy to do s.p.o.n.s.o.r.e.d thingies compared to personal posts. With all the offers coming, I might end up gossiping about the lives of our neighbors, harhar…as if I know all of them. Good night everyone, need to get some sleep. I need all the energy tomorrow for work (nah I’m not talking about 3P), I mean wedding coverage.
Heehee, if only I could put that outside the door, I would do that. I know I’m being mean but please forgive me. Since I got my PR back, i’m bombarded with offers. Harhar, I am uberly excited! Honestly? I am. Who wouldn’t? But forget about the bombarded word. This is my 4th job in an hour. Oh make that 2 hrs. Blame the TV show Marimar. I couldn’t help glancing on the telly while excitedly tapping the keyboard. I even pity N, he was just starting to tell me a story and I had to stop him. I was telling him that I was in a hurry to finish this post and 1 more, just to be able to submit it before 12. Holy cow, I think they are an hour advance. Boo! Need to hurry. Baboosh!
I was really super bored today. I could have done something about it, but then I got lazy too. Well maybe this is just not my day. But maybe it is! Ish came to our room asking me to accompany her downstairs and ransack the fridge. She’s hungry. When the boy found about it, he followed us. Good thing there were Gonuts Donuts left in the fridge, and half a bottle of coke. We brought the food to the boy’s room and had a picnic there.
J: Let’s watch some TV *while turning on the TV*
What’s on HBO? *while changing channels*
Me: ooops, not that! *saw a couple kissing*
*shifts to channel 12, GMA’s News Program*
J: Why that? HBO’s better, besides it’s not r18
Me: News is better, it’s informative!
J: But HBO is learning about humans!
Me: yeah right! news is also learning about humans
J: *planning to shift channels after I’ve gone out*
Me: “mabubulag ka” (you’ll go blind if you watch)
*checks on him after a few minutes…still on channel 12, yay!*
ayaw mabulag! bwaaahhh (doesn’t wanna go blind)
Woohoo! Trixie has another outfit. I actually bought two, that yellow one and another pink one. This time with bloomers, harhar. I bought the same brand, coz their baby dresses are really cool, but with a few choices only. I gotta scout for more brands when I go malling, but the ones that I can only afford. I remember the time that I was buying clothes for Ish when she was still a baby, I was kinda reminiscing. Again the sales person who assisted me asked me for the size, how old the baby was. This time I was not ashamed to tell her that it’s for my bear. What the heck whatever she thinks of me, as long as I’m thrilled and happy buying clothes for Trixie. I can’t be bothered at all, anyway it’s my moolah ^_^.
Ish installed a new game on her DS and it’s the latest version of Super Mario. I remember playing that game back in high school, not with the play station but something else. I don’t remember it anymore as it has been more than 25 years. Basically the game is still the same but with a nicer graphics. I still enjoyed playing the game a lot but I’m not as good anymore. Slower reflex I guess that comes with age. I don’t remember dying in world one or two, but now death comes in world one. Hhhhmmm, more practice and getting used to the game is what I need. Hope I’ll be able to rescue the princess in no time, but I doubt I will be able to do that, I’m becoming more impatient each day. I’m short of throwing the DS out of frustration, coupled with shouting/screaming nearing death. Sometimes I want to put it down for fear that I’ll develop heart problems. It would be funny if I will be in the news one day…a hipncoolmomma suffers from heart attack by playing Super Mario Brothers.
Before Vee day this is what I told him: Sweet don’t give me flowers, instead just convert it to cash because I want a white watch ^_^. I know I’m being funny here, but this is what I love, I can now tell anything to my ex-bf now turned husband. When I opened my drawer yesterday morning, I saw an envelope, I was like wtf is this? Yes he heard me when I said that. When I opened the envelope, wow cash with a note saying “Happy Valentine’s Day”. I didn’t expect flowers from him today, but when he got home he had flowers for me. Yeah I’m a BRAT sometimes, but only when I get away with it, which is very seldom. Let’s just put it this way, I know when to become a BRAT! Geddit? beh!
She’s gone bold, no clothes, no nothing! Someone removed her jammies. Now I can’t find it, maybe it’s in the hamper waiting to be washed. I need to buy her new clothes, she looks awkward without one! Since when did I become so obsessed with her? I hug her when I go to sleep, it’s just not complete without her. I like the feel of her in my face, so soft and fluffy. She’s probably sharing my OBAGI, haha, to US! To a more beautiful and youthful looking skin! CHEERS!
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.
