Too busy

May is truly one of my favorite. Aside from being my birthday month, it is also our town fiesta and family outings are all lined up! My offline life is busy once more. I sleep late as I do my mommy duties and prepare for our events. No regrets though as I seldom be with some of our relatives. Maybe the only sad part is - i get some breakouts lately at my forehead! I hope that I will not get those acne treatmentin the market, maybe this is just because i'm sleeping late recently, it may not really be an acne. I plan to go to my derma next week to check my skin and to have a facial too. Time for a little pampering for myself!

My sweet baby!

My sweet little girl is getting slimmer, what do you think? I cut down her milk intake because she is so much into solids now. She became so active too, so I guess that contributed a lot for her figure now. Im afraid that she will get bigger in time, if that's the case , then I need to check now the treadmills at the mall. hahaha.My friends even told me that she grew taller now , and that she is really big for her age. Would you believe that she is just 1 year and 5 months old in this picture? Time surely flies fast.. sometimes I look at my kids and ask myself, where is my little baby? But no, I am not planning on having another baby really soon . I am so happy and contented with my two kids, I want to enjoy my everyday life with them.

Anti Wrinkle Creams again

There's really a lot of anti wrinkle creams in the market today. My mom was clueless which one to pick because all are giving promises of giving the users a youthful skin after weeks of using it. Well. I guess ot would still depend on your skin , right? My mom tried a few brands last year, and so far she is satisfied with only one. But she is trying to check if some other brands would perform better. So last time she went to the mall, she spent 2 hours at the beauty counter. She ended up not getting an anti wrinkle cream but getting some lotions and lipsticks .

I think it is a part of a woman's life already. I consider the beauty counter as my comfort zone at the mall, I can spend hours of nonsense there too.

Busy Monday

How was your weekend everyone?

Mine was not that good because the husband got sick with fever and mouth sores. He didn't went to work this morning because he still has fever this morning and I want him have some time to rest. I managed to finish a lot of things today like grocery and bank errands. I was supposed to look for somejobs online, but I slept after I am done with grocery.Maybe I can re schedule it tonight. Sustaining two kids is not that easy so I am really looking for some extra income.

Back to the husband, he is planning to report to work tomorrow, I am not sure though if he is fit already because the company doctor needs to clear him first before allowing him to enter the production premises.

Busy, tiring Monday for me. It's just the start of the week, and I can't wait for the weekend.

Web hosting choice

Owning and maintaining a website is not an easy task. I was introduced in the world of blogging a few years back when I wanted to document my everyday life as a mother and as a wife. I enjoyed it that i decided to get my own site. At first, i was really clueless on how everything goes, but I am thankful to friends who helped me in a lot of ways, and I am thankful too for the websites that i came across during my research for a web host.

It was hard to land on my web hosting choice . I considered a lot of aspects before finally deciding which one to get. I made a shortlist to keep things easier for me. Choosing a web hosting plan was one of the first few steps before finally putting up my own site. Price is a big factor for me. Since it's a personal site, I don't want to spend a big amount of money for the hosting. Then I checked on the Setup services and domain fee which should be minimal too, if not free. Then there comes the Disk Space, data transfer and over all rating from other clients. It was such a big help to have a list.I was able to trim down my choices and finally decided which one to get. Up until now, I have no regrets with my decision as I seldom encounter problems at my sites. I can highly recommend it to new users too.

Goodbye Acne

A lot of teenagers I know are suffering from acne. I feel sorry for them because this is the stage when they get conscious with their looks, and yet, acne appears at their face. Most of them would try out some commercial brands thinking it will give them a clear skin, but seriously there's a lot of home acne remedies that are really worth trying because it is very effective.Home made remedies are mostly natural products so you are sure that your skin is safe from harmful chemicals. The next time I will have a breakout, I will definitely try one of those remedies here at home. It is safe and econimical as most items can be easily found at home, right at your pantry.

His choice

He has a great choice when it comes to ice cream. Whenever we are at Robinson's Mall, he drags us to this ice cream haven..


The dad can't say No because it's his favorite too. We spent an hour enjoying our ice cream. I managed to even read about some best colon cleanse procedures that I found really interesting at the magazine. Good food and quality time with my family really makes my weekend so complete. I always look forward to this simple moment made special. I know that all moms out there share with my feelings. Today is almost Thursday, and I seriously can't wait for the weekend again. Ice cream is truly the best this summer.

Slimmer me

This picture may not show off my whole figure, but I can really tell now that I shed off some pounds over the months. It is a product of hard labor actually.

Now I can share my weight loss success stories . Here are some of what I did for the past weeks. I eat what I want, but in moderation. I just cut back a little on junk food because it doesn't do me any good at all but to munch and munch. Then I kept myself busy taking care of the kids, that alone is a form of exercise, right? And every other day, I do my cardio exercise too. I told you, it is really hard work. But once you see the results, you will have this very rewarding feeling. Hopefully I can maintain my routine so I can stick with this figure.

Hello Baby

Being a mom, I know how it feels like to have a new addition in the family. You are filled with so much joy and anticipation , and the moment the baby arrives, you are filled with overflowing joy and happiness. I remember having birth announcements the last time I gave birth to my youngest. Now, I am helping out my dear friend for her son. We already have a layout in mind and we are just waiting for the time that she will deliver the baby so we can have some really nice photos to attach to the card. Oh how I feel excited because I know how my friend waited for this great blessing. As a matter of fact, I arranged a simple baby shower for her and for the baby, its just for our circle of friends and its like a small get- together for us too. what can you say about this layout that we found online?

Lazy saturday

Last Saturday , I started my day with some research on credit repair services .The kids were still sleeping so I decided to make the most out of my time. My cousin needs some help with credit repair so I gave him the website where he can read furthermore. Then by afternoon, I cooked our lunch and we enjoyed grilled chops and fried rice. It was too hot that the kids wanted to go swimming in their inflatable , solo-sized swimming pool. I let them enjoy the water to feel fresh. They both had a grand time with the water. Good thing that our area is covered so they are not directly exposed to the son. While they were swimming, I still had some time to finish some chores around the house. take a look at my kiddos enjoying a hot, lazy saturday afternoon

Job Hunting

My sister who is now here in Manila is on job hunting mode. Well, she tried. She applied online for some companies but she decided not to pursue for reasons I do not know. But this afternoon she told me she did some sales job search over the internet.I am not sure if she is serious with working here or she will just plan to go back to CA after finishing some important matter here. Well, whatever her decision will be, I support her 100 percent. She is young and I want her to enjoy life to the fullest. If she wanted to try out some sales job, then that would be great, or if she would like to stay here at home for summer, then I would love that more. We missed her for 5 years so I want to spend more time with her.

Hello saturday

It's Saturday and I can't believe that we are just staying at the house the whole day. The heat outside is so unbearable that's why we decided to stay in our room and order food for delivery. It's a good idea because we heard that there was an accident at the major road and there was heavy traffic in the area. Fortunately, no one was hurt and roadside assistance was there in no time.

It was a bit of a lazy day for us , we watched some of our favorite shows and ordered pizza for dinner. Tomorrow, we plan to hit the mall after the Sunday mass. We need to get a few things from the hardware section because some lighting fixtures are not functioning well. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

Business VoIP

Years back , I was working in a multinational call center and there I have learned how clear communication can make or break your business. Our company invested a big amount of money with telecommunication facilities. But recently, I have read in a magazine that one can achieve great communication without shedding that big amount, and yes, this applies even if you have a small business only. With the latest technology in VoIP, clear communication became possible at a very good cost. VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol is a process wherein your telephone system works over the internet and not by using the traditional telephone lines. I have read about business voip in the internet too, and it is becoming really popular because of it's features and practicality. Small business establishments will surely save a lot of money with this phone system thus giving the company bigger profits. It will save you as much as 50- 85% over the traditional telephone systems. The costs of the installation may differ depending on the number of employees that you have. Having this kind of telephone system will help you eliminate the need for on-site phone equipment. Numerous feedback and testimonials are shared already and they only have the best words with the quality, price and service. It is surely a great move in technology.

Cosmetic packaging

I have always been a fan of cosmetics. Sometimes I buy from the store even if I don't need it. I just get fascinated with the shades of colors so I grab something at the counter. My favorite would be lip gloss and blushes. I always have it in my cosmetic case. Lately, I am playing with eye shadows. I am a neutral girl, I use the shades of brown and beige only, but I discovered the nice shade of gray that perfectly matches my eyes. As I thought that I was okay with these make ups, I learned about Mineral Make ups, thus I got addicted to it too. I alo love lotions and colognes and my supply comes from my mom. I am grateful that there is a great line of Cosmetic Packaging available now. I have some sifters for my mineral make up that i got for a really good price because i got myself a dozen. Then I remember that we are going to an International trip soon, so I need to re pack some of my colognes and lotions to small containers. Thank you for the lotion pumps and sprays that I got. Everything came in very handy. Now I am excited to use it in our upcoming trip.

Acne products

Last weekend, I had some free time at the mall. When my little boy was sleeping at this stroller, I went to Essenses and check out some make ups and beauty products. Clinique as my first stop since it is near the entrance door. I tried a few new shades of their eyes hadows and lip gloss. Then they have new products for cases of severe acne . This is a great addition in their line since their daily cleansing products are very effective for normal skin, i know that their knowledge in skin care will be very perfect for these new products. I also checked out Laura Mercier and Nars for some make up fix. I went home with a new lip gloss from Nars. One happy camper again.

me.. Slim??

Oh how i wish !

But I just love this photo of mine taken 3 weeks ago at the mall. Well, it's a round type of pillar at the mall, and while walking , I noticed that I certainly look thin so I gave it a shot. I love how the picture turn out. It looks like I took some adipex diet pills right? Hahaha. I wonder when will I ever get my pre-pregnancy figure at all. Cardio exercise is one of my powerful tools now, then I somehow cut down my rice intake during dinner. Lets see if a miracle will happen in a few weeks. For now, i will make this picture an inspiration for a slimmer me.

Hello clear skin.

I noticed late;y that pimples are starting to appear in my skin. I certainly hate breakout and I know every girl out there does! I think it has something to do with the medicines I am taking on a daily basis, so I might switch brands anytime. I have 2 parties for this week and I need to be at my best. MAybe I should try getting a facial to get rid of blackhead . I noticed some blackheads getting visible too. Oh well, I better start changing medicines then we will see if it will work.I want my clear skin back and I will do my best so this will not turn into a major breakout.

Our Sunday

Today is is just another usual Sunday for us. I woke up a bit late because i spent hours last night reading about richard willich .It was a good read that i just can't stop myself from reading. After lunch, we went to Astoria Plaza in Ortigas to get the stuff that I left the last time we were there. We got a little hungry and decided to check Podium. We used to regularly go there when my son has gym classes in the area. It was the same as before with a few people shopping. In other words, I love that it is not crowded at all. A few stores were added to my delight, but I am on shopping ban for the nth time. Hahaha.




Its a start of a brand new week! Enjoy everyone!

After a long time..

.. I received two baby shower invitations . One is from my online friend and the other is from my friend since college. I haven't been to a baby shower for a long time. Well, we were supposed to have one last year, but we canceled it after the big typhoon that hit our place. now, i am excited to buy gifts from the registries. Both are girls so I am thinking which stuff to buy. As a mom, I have an idea which are really essential, like a grooming kit with thermometer, hairbrush, nail clipper , medicine dropper etc. This is one thing that I love giving to newborns, its a complete set and one can even carry it at their bag - very functional. Blankets are also good to have , it has a lot of uses actually. Next week, I will buy gifts at the mall and I cant wait to see my friends who will soon be giving birth.

He loves cars!

This picture clearly tells a story, and i find it really nice to see my kids this way. Joaqui driving the car, while the little girl Dominique seems to be saying something to his Kuya. Yet, the Kuya looks serious and in a "do not disturb me while driving" mode. Cuties! JOaqui is really into cars and driving that last Christmas, his dad gave him a motor bike with the Disney cars print. He was filled with so much joy when we bought it. I wonder at what age will he drive our car ? I surely can't wait for the time that he will be the one driving for our whole family. Of course, he needs to be at the legal age. And when will he ask for his own car.. hmmm just don't ask for A ferrari because we dont have a budget for that , not even on Ferrari parts . I heard its reaaally expensive. Maybe he can have something in red, so it will look like the red Ferrari somehow.
