How particular are you when it comes to things in the house? Do you always go for the things you like? I am particular about some stuff in the house but I really do not pursue it especially if I can’t afford it. But there are just things that you can splurge on and cabinet knobs are one of them. I am talking about myself here. This happened when we were building our house. We had to sacrifice other stuff just to be able to get some stuff that we really like. How about you? Do you do the same thing? I am glad that I have learned to do those things, and so far I am happy with every decision I made on things that I need to give up and to sacrifice.

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.

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.

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.

We were given 2 paintings. The husband didn’t really expect it as he was just hired to do some documenting by the painter. Nope not his works, but his other passion. It turned out real good so probably that was the reason why we were given the paintings. I wish I had this modern sofa in the living room coz it would really compliment the painting. Now I remember, I helped my SIL once with furnishing her place and we got something like it. Hmmm I wonder if we can temporarily borrow it from her first.

Since I have to color my hair every month (more like root dye for gray hair), I had to search for a permanent hair color that does not damage my hair. I was browsing through the Healthy Options store (they sell mostly organic/healthy choices) and got excited when I saw this shelf with hair color. Since then I’ve been using only Herbatint. The website says that it has no ammonia, no paraben, no smell, no alcohol, no perfume and has less peroxide. The first thing I noticed when I first applied it is the shine. Normally when you do hair color, it gives a dull effect after you use it, but with Herbatint it’s totally different. Hhhmm I am not paid to do this, but I just want to share my little secret. I use 6D by the way.

Haha, I just find it a little bit funny. I’m not really used to seeing or knowing that men have issues too, and they try to do something about it. But seriously speaking, I think this is the most important for them. It’s like they don’t have any use anymore once they lose it. Others lose it at a young age, well not so young age, but it can be an effect to an overdose of drugs probably. Ok, since you men want to perform better, I suggest that you do a little study or a little comparison of what you are taking. You can visit www.extenzesideeffects.com so you have an idea of the side effects of the drug you are taking. It pays to be careful because once it’s done, you can’t do anything about it anymore.

Just how many kinds of life insurance are there? I don’t even know the difference unless I sit down and read about it. And I thought there’s only life insurance. I was surprised to hear about term life insurance from a friend. Oh so this kind of insurance only lasts for a predetermined period of time. No wonder it’s very affordable and a lot of people opt for this. If you want to get yourself covered, then this will be a good start. It’s a good thing insurance companies thought of this, this is kind of bringing insurance to everyone.

I was due to have a root dye. I don’t know if you noticed in my photos that the gray hair are already showing. I should be doing this thing once a month but then if I can stretch it to two then it’s better. Normally this happens when I don’t have special occasions to attend.
Anyway I was having second thoughts of using auburn. In my mind now that I’m in my 40s, I can’t get away with any color. Yes, I’ve mellowed down already and not as crazy anymore. My choices in hair color have toned down a bit. Ah look what age can do, heh. Going back, again I did it myself. I used Revlon in auburn, and not bad. It didn’t really turn out as red as I thought it would. I am relieved! I think I’ll stay with this color for a bit, but not with the brand. I used to get my hair color at Healthy Options (the paraben and ammonia free), and I think I’m gonna use that one.
*I’ll take pictures tomorrow so you can see the hair color. I’m attending a party!

I’m turning 44 in less than a month, is that even a reason for me to get scared? I am not scared, not at all, a bit worried probably. Hhhmmm so what am I trying to say here? Well, I see the need to be frequenting the page where the best wrinkle cream can be found. I should start early especially now that fine lines are very visible. I see nothing wrong with applying creams and all if only to slow down. To me it’s part of taking care of oneself, not that I am addicted to things like this like it is my life. It’s just that I want to look younger if not I want to look my age at least.

Uh oh…what is this again. I totally get scared when I read these two words, side effects. Scared because I might have used the product in the past and am using it now only to find out that it’s kinda bad because of it’s side effects. I wonder how those males would feel if they read the enzyte side effects? Man this is scary, we are talking about the “manhood” here and if there’s truth to this claim, my oh my! But at least there is an ongoing warning and I am good with that. It makes me aware whether there is truth to it or none.

It wasn’t as cold, but colder than Manila’s 38, so I couldn’t complain more. It gets colder though in the early mornings and late evenings. It took us 4 hours to get to Baguio from Bataan (Subic) again via SCTEX (no Noynoy controversy here). Traffic was somewhat heavy because it was a long weekend. You know how it is when it’s a long weekend here in the Philippines, everyone goes to their fave destinations. First thing we did when we got there was to check Ukay-Ukay coz Ish wanted to own a leather jacket. I told her that she wouldn’t be needing it actually so she should not spend a fortune for it (she was considering buying either at Zara or Mango). I was the one who suggested to get it instead in Ukay. Success! But we found it the following day though when we really spent time going through all the stuff, coughing along the way. We got a few things too, she found 2 bags (not branded but pure leather or should I say of good material) and I found a cute bag too (rabeanco) in the color that I really really love. Nope we haven’t worn or used it yet coz we needed to airdry (whatever it’s called) it out in the sun. I think I’d make a separate post for our Ukay finds.
Anyway, Baguio was fun. All we did was walk and eat and sleep. We didn’t bother going around since it was the nth time that we’ve been there. Burnham Park couldn’t be skipped though coz the kids want to go biking, and of course no one misses going to Burnham without riding the boat. Hhhmmm what else did we do? Oh did I mention that we ate? Haha, I gained back the pounds that I lost even if we walked a lot, do I need to tell you why? Dang the good food that MIL fed us.
We enjoyed this once in a lifetime bonding, it does not happen everyday you know. We are all thankful that my MIL thought of bringing us together and have fun. This was her way of celebrating her 68th birthday instead of having a grand celebration. Well this is a grand celebration in itself since she spent a fortune too having 19 persons (drivers and yayas included) in the whole entourage. Fun, fun, fun!

Accidents do happen. We do not know when and when it happens we are never prepared for it. What’s worst when accidents happen it’s so hard to get compensation claims. I hear a lot of stories regarding that and sometimes it makes me think why these things are happening. Indeed we live in a cruel world. If one can get away with it, then they would. It’s pretty unfair if you think of it, for one you are entitled to claim the compensation that you need. Like I said an accident is not your own doing.
Now there are others who do not want to go after such claims. Maybe they think they do not have the resources to do so. The others are not physically fit to go through all the requirements or the paper works that goes with the claim. Now if you fall under this category, let me tell you that someone can help you out with your Compensation Claims. Their services is totally free. I know what you’re thinking, it’s too good to be true, right? But I tell you it’s free, you need not put out a single penny. If you are successful with your claim, then you get it 100%. Still too good to be true? Again let me share with you that fees involved will never be charged to you but to the third party’s insurance company.
Getting interested now? All you need to do is pick up your phone and call. If you can’t do that, you can always go online and fill up the form. They have experts who can help you out with your possible COMPENSATION CLAIMS. Don’t waste you time anymore and don’t let the agony linger. Who knows, the compensation you get would help you out with your ongoing medication. That claim can go a long long way. The more you act with hesitation, the more harder or almost impossible for you to claim.

Ish has been requesting that she’d be allowed to learn how to drive already. She’s already 16 and she can now apply for a student permit. Funny how her Dad reminded me to have my car insured. Yeah right now it isn’t, but I am scouting for an auto insurance already. The hubs is right after all. It’s really right to have my car insured so that when anything happens we won’t be the ones shouldering all of the repair expense.

I’ll be going to Manila City Hall again this afternoon. I’ve been asked to come back for my Statement of Account about 4 times already. They gave me a number to call to inquire if it’s out already but it’s real hard getting through. I will again attempt to go there this afternoon and hopefully it would be out by then so I can get our Business Permit. There are probably too many business owners in the City of Manila, or probably I didn’t bribe the people there so it took me forever to get my permit. I applied on the 14th of January and what are we now, February 8? They moved the deadline to February 26, after which a fine would be added for late filers.

Do you know what’s common among all of us in the family? Blackheads! This is one of the reasons why we go to the dermatologist once a month. It’s annoying having it especially when you touch your nose and you feel that it’s a little rough. Since this is a problem that does not go away, I have to find ways and means for us to be able to save, you know how it is to go to the dermatologist once a month and there’s actually four of us. Good thing I was able to look for a remedy which can be found at http://www.blackheadextractors.org. It might help me with my problem who knows.

Acccckkkk! Fine lines! What’s next? Wrinkles! I know it’s inevitable but not so soon please? Haha that is the plea of every girl I think, well someone vain though. Sometimes I do think of that too coz you know why? I’m only partially vain. I can say I am not that scared too because I found the best remedy, I have the list of the best face creams in town. How did I know? I am an internet junkie remember? Of course I found the list online. I am not at all surprised since everything can be found in the internet nowadays.

I don’t know but sometimes I get bored playing FB games already. I don’t get excited playing Restaurant City in fact I just play it so that I can get the free ingredient for the day if I am able to guess. I do it for my friends so they can trade whatever ingredients they need to they can cook a particular dish.
Pet Society, for some reason I still get excited playing it simply because of the clothes that are coming out every Monday. I love to play dress up and making my pet a cutie. If you can only see my Smiley, she is always hip like me.
Initially those were the two games I played. Then I was introduced to farmtown, then farmville and the latest is cafe world. I still play it everyday, until when? That I really don’t know.

I wrote in my other blog the reason why I wanted this color so bad. At the back of my mind I thought I will be able to get away with the color since I’m a bit on the fair side. According to my daughter Ish, you must be fair to be able to wear the color without looking weird. Ok, I’m fair so I can wear it without any problem, until I got a lot of nasty stares. Nope it didn’t end there. While browsing through the Greenhills tiangge, I overheard a girl say “Ay mukhang japoks.” Japoks is short for Japayuki. The common notion of a japayuki is a filipina who works in Japan in some club or something. I turned my back and started going towards her, she backed off with a scared look on her face. I was just holding myself not to slap her and of course I won’t stoop down to her level if you know what I mean. At least I can pass off as a japayuki, meaning I look good. But look at her, oh never mind, magkasala pako if I start describing how she looks like.

I’m sure most of you got what you wished for this Christmas. Others may have gotten it outright from Santa Claus on the eve of the 24th. I remember my own son wishing for a ps3 as birthday and Christmas present around 2 years ago. Of course the ever generous Santa (ahem) gave it to him. Now he is enjoying the console and once in a while we get to play too. It’s a great bonding time for the whole family whenever we are in front of the TV playing ps3 games.

I need a water treatment at home. I’ve been scouting for one and this water softener took my interest. What caught my attention really was this benefit. It leaves hair and skin feeling smoother and less dry. Haha I know I am vain as you can see, why not? Well there are other more benefits, so I am not considering this because of that particular benefit, duh! I just think that I need it because of the many benefits. I wonder if we have that here already.

I still haven’t mailed it, but I will tomorrow. Hope it gets to the recipient before winter ends so she can use it. This will be my first time to try our mailing system, I mean the one at the Post Office. I normally use DHL so I know how fast it will get to it’s destination. Hopefully this one will reach in just about 2 weeks, as promised. If it does, then I’d be sending more since it would really be affordable now.

I only have the leggings and the dress, don’t scream it’s not the same dress. Of course I can’t afford all the items I posted. I am just lucky that I found a dress similar to that, I said similar. Oh the bag? It’s a dream, will remain a dream until Ish graduates from law school and find a decent job. By then I would be a happy Momma, owning a real Chanel Caviar Quilted Bag…haha I so wish!

Oh no! Why am I talking about diseases/disorders? Do I sound like I’m scared? Of course I am, so I need all the information I can get about disorders I am not familiar with. Yep I also know that I should consult the doctor about it if ever someone in my family comes across it. But it helps me understand the disorder more if I do a little reading.
Take for example this pancreatic cancer. This is considered a silent killer according to some readings that I already did. You know why? You really do not have any symptoms early on in the disease. Normally it is diagnosed when it is already in the advance stage. But I am glad though that there is so called pancreatic cancer treatment.
Now let’s talk about lung cancer. There are actually two types of lung cancer. One is called small cell lung cancer which grows rapidly and spreads quickly and the other one is called non-small cell lung cancer. There are 3 sub-types, and at this point I am not in the position to explain. Better do some readings if you are really interested in it. I read too that lung cancer is the easiest to treat. Yes, there is lung cancer treatment, and don’t forget this is the easiest to treat, cooperation is needed though.

Not many of us know about cystic fibrosis disease. Is this really a common disease? Do we know how to go about it in case one of our family members is inflicted? Sad that my answer to it is a no. But now that I know a few things about it, I’m quite confident that my little knowledge will go a long way. It is actually a genetic disorder of the secretory glands. Known cystic fibrosis symptoms include excess mucus production, coughing, shortness of breath. In other words, it affects the function of the lungs. CF which is short for cystic fibrosis can damage the lungs. Not many people know this, that’s probably the reason why many people do not pay much attention to CF.
Did you know that probably one of the reasons why you have poor growth and poor weight gain despite the fact that you have a normal appetite might be due to CF? Did you know that this can cause infertility too? It’s hard for me to explain everything, but I think you have to do some reading so you will get first hand information. I am just scare that I am not explaining it right, if you know what I mean. But at least I am giving you an idea, in case you still don’t know about it. And yes there is a cystic fibrosis lung treatment. It’s not the end of the world for those people suffering with CF.
