Its your day smokers

Ever seen this cool thing smokers can enjoy a lot?

Well honestly I am not sure of the health advantage of this electronic cigarette can give, I never thought cigar can be healthy.  But I think this is best in here in our country because of three things:

•              its Non Flamable, so less cause of fire in case a neglectful smoker left it anywhere prone to fire.
•              Smoke anywhere,  imagine them being used inside cinemas or even inside the hospital, I wonder if it would still be allowed.
•              And a lot more affordable than the traditional cigars

      To add more to that this electronic cigarette free delivery will only cost you $59.99.  Don't you think
      its really cool, huh!

Answered Prayers

Congratulations and happy birthday Chel!  You deserve all the blessings and the answered prayers.  I am really happy for you.

If feels good to know that a friend's prayer is answered and you know that a friend is really happy.  I may not be the one who was able to help her but I was able to be with her in good and some bad times.  Getting married and having children really changed a lot in me and this friend of mine.  Since Chel and I got married having fun now means staying at home and playing with our son or spending time with husband and making snacks while he enjoys his favorite movie. I am very happy that Chel will be able to spend more time now with her family soon enough. And to top it all, earn while at home.

I am still trying to work for my ticket to exit the life of linear job earner, I know I have the drive for this to be able to spend more time with my kid and husband.  This may not be easy but I know it is doable.  Hang on there "Dream Come True" I am coming so very soon.  Soon, I will also have more time browsing the internet and I can even offer to make a review for best whey protein powder or any product I see online.

Take my advice if you are into slimming coffees

Everyone wants to feel beautiful, slim and sexy, that includes me of course.  Remember my post about me getting slimmer, well yes I got a bit slimmer and I got something else.  My old friend vocal cord nodule came back to haunt me. I got this when I was still working as a project officer in one of the very good foundation Alabang Muntinlupa way back 2002.

According to my ENT it was possibly triggered again because I had been taking calls for almost  3 years in my current company and it was aggraviated when I took slimming coffee after the holiday season. Caffaine is not good for throat problems.  Please do not think that its only the slimming coffee that's to be blamed, my voice was on and off even before christmas.

So if you are into slimming like me, be very careful in picking diet pills or even slimming coffees, its always best to consult your physician.

You were right, Dea

Who can resist the smell of a lechon manok? I can ignore fried chicken especially if its not very attractive looking but the smell of a lechon manok really bother my taste buds so much. Along our way home we stopped over to one of the most famous branch of Sr Pedro Lechon Manok. We had to open the car windshield during the trip because the smell was really tempting and yet I cannot eat along the way.

i have to borrow a picture of the dish online because i was not able to take a picture of our own when we got home, i literaly attacked the chicken before I am able to change to usual clothes at home.

There is one branch located along Aguinaldo Highway just before you approach SM Bacoor and this is were we got our lechon manok. There was no half size available so we decided to take home a whole for only Php 189.00. I snobbed my favorite "pork sinigang" this time. I know I ate more than what I should have and I hope Dea can offer me best fat burners because she was the one who always promotes Sr Pedro Lechon Manok in the office. And yes Dea, you were right, this is best than what we usually have then.

My Comeback

Forgive me if I have been blogging lately...
Forgive me for my last post on this blog was on 9th February...

Baby Stuff

Its fun to look for baby stuff even when window shopping at your favorite department store or online.  When I was pregnant I am an avid fan of babycenter[dot]com.  This was introduced to my by my friend Chel.  I adore this website, not only it gives nice stuff about babies and being a mother, it is educational too.

I bet any pregnant mommy or even those who gave birth already will love this PeppyParents[dot]com.  If you are like me, who loves to find wonders online for my baby collection I would suggest you visit this wonderful site.  I can believe my eyes when I saw their bob revolution duallie se being showcased online. Had I had enough fund with paypal account no one can stop from ordering this bob revolution duallie se even if I don't have twins.  I bet If I get to see this again online by the time I have two babies I will surely get it. 

who would not want this for their babies?

Busy time

My deepest apology, I've not been blogging a lot lately because of a lot things that keeps me busy. I made a list below to enumerate a few, honestly, I am looking forward to scratch the listed things here one by one.

-trying hard to efficiently plan the coming move to Laguna, which will be on the evening of February 19
-practice driving as often as I could, I am not yet confident that I can drive home from work going home to Binan, Laguna
-studying the business I just got into, though I am phasing really due to a lot of things to do simultaneously.
-catching up with good old friends and making up with the lost time

Of all the things listed here, its just catching up with friends that I really enjoy and look forward to.  Two weeks ago, Rey and I meet with our highschool friends in Makati.  Last Sunday, I met with Ate Fe in Megamall, she is one of good friends in PLDT Parlance, we used to work there years ago.   I am even guilty of using our hp printers in the office to make a copy of photos way way back to share it with Ate Fe.

My camera needs a fixing

Up to now my Pentax digital camera is still useless.  I have not brought it the service center due to my busy schedule.  Aside from that, I am clueless of any service center for Pentax cameras. 

I think I am really losing hope if its still can be repaired. Maybe I should have really listened to Rey when he wanted to get a different brand of camera.  He wanted to get  a Cannon back then but I insisted to get the Pentax because its much cheaper than a Cannon and it has more added features.  It really feels bad when you are trying to save some yet your losing more.  I am now blaming myself for sacrificing quality over a small amount of money.

Tried to do some online research and I  found out that Pentax is a Japanese company that focuses its business with cameras, binoculars, rifle scopes, telescopes and the likes.  They also do information and communication products and eyeglass lenses.

I really hope I could find time to bring this camera back from where I purchased it and leave everything with them to find a way to have it fixed.

Sit like a king

An excited molecule.  That's how I feel about moving to Laguna next month.  Excited yet pressured and worried about how we will put everything in place.  Its going to be another major cleaning and fixing of our things at home to make it all fit inside the house.

Funny thing is, we do not have any cabinet fixings and furnitures yet.  Our cleopatra style sofa is already old and overused and Gad had had some crayon scratchings on it.  I wonder how it feels when you have good nice sofa in your sala and you can sit comfortably or even lay down while watching TV.  Oh, i'm so dreamy!  I wonder if sofas where king and queen sits in fairy tale stories are covered with microfiber upholstery fabric.  Do you think they had it during their times?  Maybe it would be best if i just have our old cleopatra re-upholstered.

You think this one will be an elegant choice of design for our cleopatra?  Hopefully I will find this in my local upholstery shop.  My boys will be sitting like a king on this one!

I wants these more than make ups...

Ever since, I did not dream of having a collection of beautiful make ups like every girl would want to have.  Having different shades of lipstick would be enough for me because that,s most of what I am using.  When I want to exhaust myself in window shopping,  I will spend most of my time looking at different kind of linens; beddings, blankets, pillow cases and curtains.

Don't you think you wont fall in love with these peacock alley blankets, beddings and pillows.  I can't wait to have a least a set of them.  Price  is worth the quality and style.  I wonder how beautiful it would be in our room,  I wish we could set up the bedframe soon, but not until Gab can manage himself not to fell off the floor when sleeping.

what is your beauty regimen

Everytime I am being asked of my age, I have this short pause trying to remember what to answer.  I was born in 1979 and I am not ashamed to admit that I am over 30 years of age now, to be exact 31.  And what I do not understand with myself is that every time I need to put my age on a form I need to fill out for myself or I need to answer a doctors question regarding my age, I am not able to answer as quickly when I was 25 or 18.  I guess I am confused with my age.

I may be able to unconsciously forget my age but I know I am cannot escape signs of aging and eventually combat them.  At this age, I still don't keep any beauty regimen because I was never used to.  As long as I wash my face with soap and water I am already happy and feel refreshed.  I envy those people who was able to develop a habit of spreading some sort of liquid or gel to clean their faces every night.  I envy the feeling of other being obliged that need to do each night before going to sleep.  Honestly, its a struggle for me, especially now that I know I should really do it to at least keep my youthful image until about early forties.

Can you guess how old or young this lady is?  I think you will be confused, by the way, she is Lea, on of my cousin doing her beauty regimen daily.  By the way, this cousin of mine used to have problems with her blackheads and I guess that I when she started to be conscious on her face.  That was a long time ago, she was able to discover a very good website to make her free from blackheads.  Anyone who may want to see it, just click here to get rid of your blackheads.

Fountain of Youth

Would you believe if fountain of youth had already been discovered?   I must admit, I am not a book lover and really don't read that much.  I can count on my fingers the pocket books I've read before but please do not ask me what the story was because I have already forgotten it.  That's how bad I am.

I have heard of this fountain of youth during my school days but I really did not bother learning much about it.  I was contented knowing that its a ancient legend that has been passed on from generations to generations with different versions from different locales.

And if fountain of youth will really be discovered soon, hopefully it will not only make humans younger but also free from any kind of sickness or any health problem.  It should be as perfect as any kind of treatment from acne treatments to the most serious kind of dreadful diseases like cancer.   Should there be a medicine like that, I think I should agree that fountain of youth has already been discovered, but not in a form water in well.

So much of my opinion, anyway,  I had a long day today.  I am on vacation leave because I visited my cousin and my grandmother.  Too bad, I was not able to spend the whole day with Gab but I planned to make it up to him tomorrow before I go to work.    We'll watch again his favorite show,  the Power Rangers.  This is his new addiction, after Blue's Clues and Barney.  Now he wants to watch the whole movie of  Power Rangers and play pretend that he is one with his sun glasses on.

I must claim it, I am going to be slim soon

Weight gain always come along after the holiday season. I am guilty of this. Most of my clothes does not fit comfortably anymore but I am not going to change my mind in not buying new clothes for me. Reason being is I want to make myself conscious that I REALLY REALLY need to lose weight.
Reading a bit about lipo 6 hers review helped me not only to understand how slimming coffee works to make women become slimmer without having to do exercise and it also convinced me to try the product my officemate Ian is offering. Hopefully, soon I will be able to post another item about me getting slimmer. This will be a great follow on post related to my previous one about me getting chubby.

Cameraless Blogging

If you noticed, I had been blogging without any recent personal photos being uploaded. Pardon my blog, but I am cameraless now.  I am not  born to be writer, I blog only just anything I can think of without having any plot nor plan of my story.  Whatever comes to mind and that is it.  Being cameraless made my blogging even more harder. 

Instead of me just taking the photos and uploading it to my blog, now there is me cosulting weekipedia or google to find the best adjective for what I could have had shown in my photo.

Just last week, I broke my camera without realizing it.  I was deleting some old photos to free up some storage on  my memory card and then all the pictures I take has a black background of some sort.  I am not a techy person and I never bothered trying to check what is wrong with my little machine.  Thankfully, I have Rey who has a good heart to take the camera to the repair shop.  I hope he finds time to squeeze it in his hectic schedule tomorrow.

Now my next problem is to secure a copy of all of my old pictures in the memory card.  Printing them is a good idea but I am afraid to ruin our printers ink cartridges too.

Safety First

Safety measures at home are not something that we take for granted. My husband Rey is a Safety Supervisor in his office and I work for an oil company that is very conscious when it comes to safety measures. Not to mentioned that we have a year and half kid whose curiosity level is bigger than his parents.


Here are some examples of safety measures we have that I think is worth sharing:



-sharp objects are always kept in higher place to prevent Gab from seeing it and asking to play with it
-screen door is always hooked, my boy loves to push doors
-we only use foam instead of a bed, Gab rotates like a clock when asleep
-safety gloves are my nanny’s best friend. Can you imagine her using a safety gloves when ironing the clothes?
-LPG tank is tightly closed when not in use.
-electric outlets are covered with cabinets or behind the sofas
-center tables or side tables were put away to avoid temptation for my little climber
-emergency phone numbers are displayed and easy to be found in case of emergency
-emergency money is available, at least enough to for a tricycle fare to rush to the nearest hospital or to our nearest relative
-we use wall fans instead of desk fans, these are also great space savers

All these safety measures worked for me very well. As my child gets older, he discovers lots of things every day. We just make sure that we are watching him all the time, even when asleep to prevent any untoward incidents.

Pets

Did I ever wrote in this blog that I am an dog and cat lover.  I cannot remember not having either a cat or a dog since I was a child.  My fingers will not be enough to count all the pets that had lived with me ever since. 

I even made my husband Rey fall in love with my kitten named "Muning", even if that is what most cats are called, my Muning will be my Muning forever.  This lovely cat was so pampered with me, there was even a time I let her sleep in our room with my baby Gab.  Too bad she peed on our bed that is why she was never able to sleep with us again.

Just recently, we suspected my dog Sam, short for Samantha for being pregnant.   I remember there was something different with her attitude especially when it comes to her food.  She would smell the food first before eating it.

I was surprised when my nanny told me that she found a lifeless pup beside Sam one morning, but she did not bother waking me up to check it and she merely put it away from Sam.  I was really saddened,  I am not too sure but it could be a pupp from Sam.  Sad to say its lifeless. Had I been riched and can spend millions for my pets, I would have that pupp undergo a dog dna testing just to be sure.

this is one of our cat Frio when got him with still eyes still closed
we had him feed in a bottle.

Sunday is Family Day

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

- Family Day Quotes by Desmond Tutu

Its only Sunday's when both me and Rey are off from work so we make it a point to attend to Gab well and make him enjoy the whole day. When you are a parent, its really an indescribable feeling when you see your kids giggle and laugh and enjoy the whole day either playing and just being with you.

Today, we visited our place in Laguna.  We checked the place after our tenants vacated the it and to make plans on what we need to fix before we move in.  Our tentative date to move will be on 15th February, just few weeks away from now.     So even if today's family day is just spending the whole day travelling from Cavite to Laguna and Laguna to Cavite, I'm sure Gab enjoyed it. He likes riding in a car and watching the view along the road.

Gab and Rey had call it a day already, they are now sound asleep in the room.  This is my time to hit the keyboard of my laptop and surf the net.  I need  to cut my blogging short and look for a website that offers managed hosting. 

If you are one of my regular blog readers and keeps your own blog, I will appreciate any recommendation you may have for blog hosting.

how well are you in spelling

Have you asked yourself of this question? How well are you in spelling?  I think this question should not only be asked by students but also those who are no longer studying.  Believe it or not, this is one problem that hits us from time to time.  I myself is guilty, even if I I know the word very well, I am still guilty of mispelling that word and in worst cases, I will never realize that I have spelled that word incorrectly.

Using a cellphone thru texting, affects our spelling seriously, because with text messaging, its enough not to include vowels as long as the consonants would be able to carry the word you want to say.  I am guilty of this.  And this is my culprit for not being able to spell words correctly, TXTNG.  See that!

I have listed  words that give me scare in spelling.

cincinnati
massachusetts
mississippi
mesothelioma
diarrhoea
subpoena

Thank you so much for the help of microsoft word, for being a saver everytime I am helpless with spelling.

Moving to Laguna, still a plan!

Several times I have mentioned that we will soon move to our place in Laguna.  And it should be anytime soon.  Until now, the family who's renting the place still can't find a new place to move in to.  Last I heard from them is they are hoping to move out before the 15th of January, that would be on Saturday. 

Our current place have a very nice tiles flooring, ours in Laguna is just finished cement.   See that picture below, my son loves to walk the floor barefooted.  Hopefully we get to discuss this soon,  I have to ask Rey what kind of flooring we will have in Laguna.  I have heard of glass tiles before but I am not sure what it really is.
