Exercise

Looks like my mom and my dad will need hgh releaser so they can look and feel young as they need all the energy to take B to school everyday using the public transportation for two weeks.

Hubby brought our car at the casa for its long overdue dent repair and repainting. We got hit by a delivery van last June and it left a big dent at the passenger side of the car. We were not able to send it for repair right away as I gave birth that month also. And a lot of things happened after that and it was really crazy that it took us almost three months before we were able to schedule for our car to be brought to the casa.

It will take a minimum of two weeks before everything will be finish. Hubby is trying to borrow the car of his brother so that my dad will have something to use to bring B to school everyday. Otherwise, this will be my mom and dad’s daily exercise for two weeks.

2. If you could wake up tomorrow with a new talent, what would it be? Talent to sing.

3. Who is someone (other than yourself) would you like to go back into your past and talk to and why? My Aunt who passed away already as she is the person that I look up to. I will ask her all the things I need to know on how I can get through this life.

4. What is your favorite meal eating out? Pizza, pasta, Chinese food

5. Do you feel energized or drained by being in a group situation? If the answer is "it depends," on what does it depend? Drained.

6. What word do you use far too frequently? Uhuh, Oh Yeah.

Song Facts: The Spiral Staircase released one album and a couple more singles before poor management and squabbles over finances caused the group to splinter by 1969. They were a classic one-hit-wonder. (thanks, Tanya - Los Angeles, CA)

9. What is your absolute favorite piece of furniture you have and why? Our bed because it is so relaxing if I can just lie down all day and sleep.

Pacquiao vs Margarito on November 13

For a long time, we are all waiting on who will Manny Pacquiao fight this coming November. A lot hoped that it will be Floyd Mayweather Jr but negotiations between the two camps did not prosper as they can’t agree on a lot of things.

And so just a few days ago, Manny Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum, announced that it will be the Mexican boxer, Antonio Margarito whom Manny will face on November 13.

Antonio Margarito is a former world welterweight champion and so for sure it will be one great fight. (I wonder if Manny Pacquiao reads secratatropin hgh reviews as I heard it is use by athletes to help build their muscles faster.)

Bob Arum said that Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito will battle for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight championship in Las Vegas. If ever Pacquiao wins, he will be the only boxer in history who holds eight titles.

My husband is an avid Manny Pacquiao fan and he can’t wait to watch this match and cheer for his idol.

Workout Routines = Fit & Healthy

I have been on a diet for two months now but sad to say that in those two months, I was only able to shed off four pounds from my weight. I did not consult any dietician but instead I just made my own diet program by just cutting down on my carbohydrates intake. But I guess this program is really not working for me as it has been months already and I still haven’t met my weight loss goal.

A friend who is also on a diet has introduced me to the site of Fitclick.com where I learned that diet is not enough to loose weight. Diet should be coupled with workout routines to keep and maintain a healthy and fit body.

This will not be difficult to accomplish and I don’t even have to go to a gym or hire my own fitness instructor as I can easily make my own workout plan just by searching the site of Fitclick.com. They have a wide range of fitness programs and all I have to do is make a search by category, type, and fitness level and I can easily find the program that I can adapt to help me meet my weight loss goal.

I can’t wait to start on my own fitness program so I can start being fit and healthy.

Living Healthy

Because of the sudden death of my mother-in-law due to cancer, my husband and his siblings suddenly became health conscious as they have learned that the cause of their mother’s death is hereditary. One of the things that they all plan to do is have an executive check-up so at least they will be able to know early their health condition. They are also seeking for my help to look for colon cleanse products that work as they want to take good care of their colon also.

I am glad that hubby is really serious in trying to live a healthy lifestyle and is willing to undergo any type of examination just to be sure that he is 100% okay. Our kids are still young and hubby and I really can’t afford to be sick as we don’t know who will take care of them if anything happens to us. That is why hubby and I vowed that we will really try to live a healthy lifestyle not just for our sake, but for our kids as well so hubby and I will grow old watching over them and we can personally see for ourselves how they will turn to be fine and successful individuals.

Accutane Lawsuit

Nobody wants to have acne. And so those who are suffering from severe acne is so happy when they discovered Accutane, which is the medicine that they can take when they have tried all the other treatments and antibiotics to treat their acne.

But their happiness was short lived because studies show that Accutane can trigger injuries such as inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis.

Those who used Accutane doesn’t want these injuries because all they want is a cure for their acne and they don’t deserve to experience such serious discomfort such as cramping, pain, diarrhea, bleeding, and frequent bowel movements and so they have all the right to file an Accutane Lawsuit. And when it comes to these kinds of lawsuits, lawyers of O’Hanlon, McCollum & Demerath law firm is their best bet. Attorneys of O’Hanlon, McCollum & Demerathlaw firm have the knowledge and experience and they know the process on how to successfully file product liability claims.

So contact them now if you are one of those individuals who have experience side effects from using the medicine Accutane.

Desperate

I am so dead set to loose fifteen pounds by December. I wonder how I can do that.

Diet
Exercise
Weight Loss Pills
Starve myself. LOL.

Pardon me if I always talk about weight lose and diet here in my blog. Maybe I can just take this opportunity to promote products in my site and earn while doing it. I heard there is an affiliate network site that can let me promote products on my blog and I will earn from commissions. (You can click here to learn more about this program).

This just goes to show how desperate I am in loosing weight. LOL. I have been so used to eating a lot when I was pregnant and even after giving birth that I am really finding it hard now to reduce my carbohydrates intake.

I really need will power to be successful in my diet. Anybody knows where I can buy will power? LOL.

Gold Investment, Our Backup Plan

I have been checking the net for possible gold investments and after reading about gold investment, it really convinced me that it is a very solid form of investment that won’t depreciate in time. There are many different forms of gold investment. It can be in a form of gold bar, gold coin or even gold bullion.

For beginners like me in gold investment, I think buying gold coins will be a good start as it is not that expensive compared to gold bars but it holds the same value as the gold bar. Like gold bars, it is a good way to preserve one’s wealth as it is also universally accepted and can be easily converted to cash. Its storage won’t be a problem also as it can be stored even just in a safety deposit box at home.

Now that we can never be sure at how our economy will improve, it is always nice to do investments while we have extra money so we can always have a back up plan.

Spanx Baby

weightlossprogram.net, this is my favorite website now as I really need to learn more about weight loss and on what products I can try to help me loose weight fast.

I started with my diet already and it has been two weeks since I started to reduce my carbohydrates intake. I haven’t checked the weighing scale though but I was able to fit in to some of my old slacks which I think is a good sign that I loose a few pounds already. My only problem now is my tummy since it is still big. They say that it is natural especially for those who gave birth via Caesarean delivery and I just have to wait because it will really take time before the bulges in my tummy disappear. Maybe Spanx can help me hide those ugly looking bulges. So I got to go now so I can do some Spanx shopping from Amazon.

Back Up Plan

With how the economy is doing, we can never really sure when we can ever recover from the global economic meltdown which we have been experiencing for years now. Up to now, I can still hear news of mass layouts and companies closing because of bankruptcy brought about by the effects of the global recession.

That is why my husband and I know that we can never really be secured with our jobs no matter how stable and strong the company where we are working is. We have been discussing about this and we both agree that we should always have a back up plan so no matter what happen with our jobs, we can still secure the future of our kids.

So we have been doing some research and that is when we discovered the site of United States Gold Bureau. We have contacted their experienced and knowledgeable hard asset professionals and they gave us a lot of information about investing in gold. They also have good contacts in the market so they can assure us that they can help us get the best value of gold coins available.

When you are parents like us, you really want to make sure that no matter what happens, your kids’ future will be secured and my husband and I agreed that we can accomplish this with the help of gold investment.

New Shows I Love

One of the reasons why I am excited to go home after work aside from the fact that I will get to see my kids is because I am excited to watch two of my current favorite shows, Magkaribal and Survivor Philippines.

I love the story line of Magkaribal. I love all the characters and they are really good and they really portray their roles well. I am excited to see how Vera will survive now that Manuel is gone and she is out of Vera Couture. From the last episode she will try to sell diamonds and this will be her source of income but from the preview for tomorrow’s episode, a number of individuals are running after her because all her cheque payments bounced due to lack of funds. I am so excited also to know who will win the Metro Magazine’s designer’s competition. Will it be Gelai? But I am sad to know that Louie will be leaving Gelai. I wonder what’s up next for Gelai and Victoria.

As for Survivor, I have been a fan of this show ever since and I am more excited to watch it since it is our local celebrities who are vying to win three million pesos and the title of becoming the first celebrity survivor.

This is the reason why I am always late to start work every night.

Shopping for Me

Since I get off from work early on a Friday, my mom and dad fetched me together with Jacobo after they brought B to school. Then we all went to the mall near B’s school while we wait for her to get off from school.

I love shopping at the Guess store there as their items are always on sale. I tried on a Capri pants and I asked for the assistance of the sales lady. She asked for my waistline and I almost collapsed as I don’t know how to tell her my size. LOL. (I guess I really need to take the best diet pill for women so I will loose weight soon). But I manage to whisper to the sales clerk my size because I have no choice; I need to buy new pants because my pre-pregnancy clothes still doesn’t fit me.

Thankfully, they have stock for my size. I was also at the same store last week and their biggest available size that time was size 27 only. LOL. I really like the style of the pants and I love the color (which is black) so I am really glad when I was able to go home with my new Capri pants and I am so excited that I will already use it tomorrow.

Mom with Two Kids

We had a high profile visitor at work today and we had a meet and great session and picture taking after that. This is really not a good timing as I have acne breakouts again because I have been sleeping late ever since I gave birth. (I think it is really time for me to find the best acne solution to cure my acne problem.) I have no interest to look at the picture as I am sure I will not look good in that picture.

I know I really look so haggard and stressed out and my acne is not really helping to make me look better. I haven’t visited my dermatologist for months now as I really can’t find the time to take a time out for some self pampering. I guess this is the life if you have two kids already, you will really have less time left to take care of yourself.

Comments: usedcellphoneshop.com

Gadgets nowadays are really expensive and so it is really a good idea to buy used cell phones instead of the expensive brand new ones. As the post had mentioned, it is both economical and environment friendly. But one should really be careful in buying used phones and they should only get it from a trusted seller like usedcellphoneshop.com so they will be sure that even if it is a second hand phone, the phone that they will be buying is still in good condition.

Back To Reality

It is my second week back at work and although I am still in vacation mode after being away from work for seventy-eight days, I have no choice but to be busy and start working again.

But you know how it is when you have been home long so I am still getting used to my busy schedule at work, the daily stress that I have to take when commuting and add to that my duties to Jacobo, B and hubby when I reached home. How I wish I have those heated mattress pads so I can relax and have a good night sleep especially during those cold nights after a very busy and long day.

But I am sure I will get my groove back in time. Besides I really don’t have a choice as I can’t afford to loose my job so I really have to work hard and accept the reality that I am no longer on vacation and I am back to the real world of being a paid employee.

Merry Christmas

B is already requesting that we put our Christmas tree and mini led christmas lights when she heard me and our mom talking about Christmas the other day. You see in my part of the world, Christmas begins when the “BER” months enter. You can hear Christmas carols being played in the radio already, TV stations are already starting a countdown already to Christmas, the malls are already selling Christmas decorations and some of them even started to put up Christmas decorations already.

Though we wanted to give in to B’s request and setup our Christmas tree, we still have to do some cleaning first as we need to make room for our big Christmas tree. I am not sure though when we can find the time to start with the clean up as our weekends are always full that we are always out.

At least we still have more than two months left to prepare and setup our Christmas tree before Christmas arrives.

Gold: Safe and Secure Investment

A lot of times I heard in the news numerous reports about scammers who are promising big payout after investing a big amount of money in their product or company. But after paying for the investment fee, those fly-by-night companies will just magically disappear and the investors will be left with nothing but a zero balance in their bank account.

When it comes to investment, we have to be really careful and do a lot of research before making any investment as it is our hard earned money that we are talking here. That is why I would rather invest my money on low-risk and secure investments like gold investments.

Gold is a very secure type of investment as it doesn’t depreciate in time. If ever I want to purchase gold coins, I will just need to contact the hard asset professionals of United States Gold Bureau who really knows the market so they can guarantee that they will be able to give me the best offer available.

When making investments, it is really important to do some research so you will be sure that your investment is in safe hands.

Saturday 9: Tell Her No


1. When was the last time that you had to tell someone that you loved, that the answer was no? I am really not that bold enough to do that.

3. If you were to start a club, what would the subject matter be, and what would you name it? Something about being a mom or a shopping club.

4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex? No, I have no guts to do that.

5. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex? Physical appearance

6. What really turns you on? Someone who is gentleman

7. What was your biggest mistake?

8. Tell us something totally random about yourself. My favorite color is purple.

9. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity? Yes. LOL.

A Gift from Hubby

Hubby wants to give me something as his push gift for me. I kept on telling him that I want a bag and I already emailed him the bag brand and styles that I want but he always says no. He said that I have tons of bags already and he really wanted to give me something that I can really use.

So I thought of asking him for:

• LCD TV for our room or
Asus laptop

It will be really nice to have a TV in our room so we can watch while we put B and Cobi to sleep but hubby said that it is not a good idea since B will sleep late also if she sees that the television is still on.

So I am down to my last choice which is the laptop. I need a new laptop anyways since my old laptop is very slow already and it can no longer cope up with my multi tasking routine.

So finally, I was able to give him my final answer – a laptop it is.

Crossing our Fingers for Orlando by 2011

Hubby will be leaving next week for four-day training in Bangkok, Thailand. He actually tried to say no for this training as he is targeting the next schedule for this training in June 2011 because the venue is in the US and so he is thinking that it will be a perfect time for us to go to Orlando.

Jacobo will be one year old already by then so it will be easier for us as he is already a little bigger and hopefully more controllable and behave. And since hubby’s airfare is already free, we only have to think of my airfare and B’s airfare since Jacobo can still ride the plane for free.

Hubby was so excited already that he already checked out orlando car rental so he can plan our itinerary. He was already telling B about it and B was really excited. It will also be Jacobo’s birthday month so it will be a perfect birthday gift for him.

But hubby got the news today and his boss really wants him to attend the training now as they can’t wait for him to learn the software so he can share his knowledge and help the section concern in using the software.

Oh well, maybe it is really not meant to be but I am sure hubby will find another training that he can attend to next year so we are still not closing the possibility of being able to bring the kids to the US by 2011 (crossing my fingers).

For His Discriminating Taste

My dad has a collection of all kinds of fine jewelry and watches. And so when my siblings asked me to look for a gift for our dad, I know that I should be buying something of finest quality to pass for our father’s standard. And that is when I thought of IWC Watches.

IWC Watches have a lot of styles in their men’s collection like the IWC Aquatimer Watches or their IWC Specialities Watches and the IWC Vintage Watches. which I am sure our father will love. All of these watch have the best craftsmanship and they only manufacture a number of watches per style so we will be sure that each of their watch is a rare find.

I am sure no matter what watch we choose for our father, he will surely love it as he just loves any kind of fine time pieces from Lussori.

Out with the Old..In with the New

My aunt was at our house the other day and she suddenly commented on our curtain which was her gift to us during our wedding five years ago. And this made me realized that I haven’t replaced it since she gave it to us. We will only remove it when it is time for our house help to wash it but I never really took time to shop for more curtains to replace the one and only curtain that we have. LOL. I guess this just only shows that I am no domestic goddess really.

But I guess that curtain has served its purpose for five years already and it is time for me to replace it. But I am thinking to get custom blinds instead as it is more modern looking and much easier to clean. I did some online window shopping already and I saw a lot of nice designs like the faux wood blinds.

I promised my aunt that I will really take time to replace our old curtains and assured her that she will see our new blinds installed when she comes back to visit us.
