I am turning 36

On the 6th of November

So, I’m posting what I wish to have

As a wife, a mother and blogger

I wish my husband peace of mind

Wherever he may be

For him to stay the way he is

To everybody else and me

I wish my children would grow to be

Healthy, kind and smart

That they would always be at ease

In both the mind and heart

I wish to have more time to blog

To post entries and more comments

To my blogger friends and would be friends

And savor all those moments

But most of all I wish to be

better in what I do

A better wife, mom, teacher

And a better blogger, too.

Happy Birthday to ME!

I love to look at my kids’ old pictures. I like to compare how they looked before and how much their looks have changed.

Candid at 2 years old and Candid now, at 16.

Mika at 3, and now at 10.

Daryl at 3, and now at 8

A lot of things have changed. But some things remain the same. They are my children and I love them so much!

An entry for

Have you been to your latest high school reunion? Well, I have.

It went out well, alright, but I can’t help thinking how old I look and feel compared with my former high school friends. I don’t know it it’s just me, but I feel as if I look older than they do when we are of the same age.

I know there’s no need to panic and that I have nothing to fear, yet. Maybe in 5 years time I should be feeling really really alarmed. But I still have time to act now and act fast. You see, something can be done about this I-look-so-old issue. And I do believe I’m not alone in this. There is a whole bunch of people out there who are willing to experiment and try something to get the young look again. Well, if you’re one of us, then click here!

All of us moms hate disease. That’s why we stuff the medicine cabinet with all types of immediate relief for common diseases like cold, cough, fever and skin diseases. The last, though not as bad as the others is equally irritating, even if it is just prickly heat or worse, eczema.

Well, we can’t simply relax and wait for any of it to hit our kids, right? Though immediate cure is good, early prevention is still even better. Try to imagine your baby not getting enough sleep because of cough and cold?  What more, what if your little girl’s legs are covered with hideous marks and scars from skin disease? Not a good picture, right?

Over protective? Not really. Loving is more like it..

See that? He surely was enjoying the ride on the famous Enchanted Kingdom carousel. Not only that, we also rode the train and the bump car.

Oh, I love it when my kid enjoys himself!

Oh well.. why do I need to sweat over this? Well, the answer is simple, I care about how I look like.

I don’t like this feeling. I hate feeling desperate about something I have anticipated. I’ve always known I would ‘balloon’ like this if I don’t control my eating habits and if I get too lazy to exercise. So, as expected, my weight is now beyond my control and I’ve been browsing the net lately for an effective way to lose even just a few pounds.

I’ve been considering different weight loss programs. On top of my list is Lipofuze. It sounds nice and safe. The kind that exactly fits my need. Well, I guess it’s worth a try..

My friend, Mary Jean, sent a message on my Facebook Account telling me that she is pregnant.. again. Well, there’s nothing wrong with that, is there?But I think her problem is that her first baby is barely two years old and her husband, though working abroad, still supports his parents and siblings.

Andy was in his late teens when he assumed the responsibility of providing for his family. His father, who used to earn a lot of money, fell ill due to exposure to chemical or was it mineral in the place where he used to work. Though the symptoms indicated a serious disease, an accurate Mesothelioma diagnosis is needed to know if it was really it. The sad fact is, they didn’t have the chance to know..

Wow! Look at that!

Daryl is having so much fun feeding the fish in Nuvali. As part of the itinerary of their field trip, we stopped over here so that the kids could experience feeding the fish right before we moved to Enchanted Kingdom.

Yes, I really do feel heavy. In fact I’m starting to have a difficulty in breathing when I walk a little far. Needless to say, I am so big now, maybe bigger than I would want to. I don’t even want to look at the mirror to find out what I had become, lol! What an old little coward I am!

Well, I just can’t help it, I mean, I can’t help eating a lot. I get home tired and hungry every night. What do they expect? Let’s say I simply appreciate my appetite. I’d rather get bigger than have severe eating disorder, right?

I wonder if phentermine diet pill really works, because I think I’m going to need it in the very near future, lol!

I’m having a training in our branch in Makati for two days now. And since I live in Caloocan, I have to wake up at 4:30am to make it to Makati before 8am. Well, it’s taking it’s toll on me. I don’t need to look at the mirror to see that I already have dark circles under my eyes and I badly need anti wrinkle eye cream.

The bad news is that the training is until November 5. The good news is that there is no training starting tomorrow, it will resume after the holidays. Well, I’m not really that sure if I can last until that time, lol! The eyes I can manage. But the stress and fatigue, well, that’s entirely different story..
