Christmas Baguio Escapade

It's been almost two years now since we last visited Baguio City. We went there to enjoy the cold weather and to relax from our hectic shedule last Christmas day. We were surprised to see that there are so much improvement inside Camp John Hay especially their housing facilities there. The biking area and arcade were nowhere to be found and instead, newly contructed cabins and residential buildings. We stayed there for two days and I would say that we really had a good time with our family and we had time to relax. Till next time!

My Birthday

My Birthday Cake - Banoffee Cake

Because of our very busy schedule this December with all the last minute shopping for Christmas and Christmas parties of our offices, we didn't have the time to celebrate my nth birthday anywhere. So we just bought 2 large pizzas from S&R, ordered spaghetti at Paradise coffee shop and brought it  at Bulacan. I still enjoyed my day as long as I'm with my family. Happy Birthday to me!

Gold for the 2nd Time!

I didn't know what I ate when I was still pregnant with my children! It's not only my boys are sports minded but also my only daughter Jenine who won the Gold medal in Chess! Not only for the first time but for the second time in a row. Congrats Jenine! Their team also won last year when they were  third year high school. Same team, same sportsfest. Jenine was the forth girl from the left :) I am so proud of you girl! Go, go, go!

PAYA Champions

My son Ryan and his team mates in table tennis at LSGH won the PAYA tournament that was held at Ateneo de Manila last November. They won the gold medal in the grade school division and my other son Rafael won the silver medal in the High School division. I am so proud of you boys! Keep it up and Animo La Salle!

Bathroom Supplies

I  remember the very first day when our house was built. I can’t believe  that it’s been 8 years already. Last April, my husband decided that it’s about time for a paint job on the exterior of the house. The color of our exterior walls was faded already and dirt spots can be seen everywhere. During the repainting of our house, our master’s bathroom was leaking water to our garage ceiling. Our garage was located just below our bathroom. We don’t know where to look because the leak seems to be coming from the pipes that was embedded to the floor. We didn't have any choice but to take the existing tiles off so that we can see where the leak is coming from. Unfortunately, we have no idea that the tiles we took off was already out off stock and wasn't manufactured anymore. So we had a problem there. Good thing there are tiles available that looks like the old ones so we just replaced it with new ones that looks like it hasn't been repaired at all. There are so many kinds of bathroom tiles to choose from. If you don’t have it locally within your area you can always look online for more designs. I just found the perfect replacement of tiles and other fixtures for our bathroom at  www.betterbathrooms.com. Yup, they have a variety of choices from bathroom furnitures to fixtures to wall and floor tiles. It's like having a home depot of for bathrooms online. It's convenient and they will deliver your order nationwide.

Nine Days To Go!

Nine days to go till Christmas...... I'm not ready yet! I haven't finished with my Christmas present list and I'm not done shopping yet! Simbang gabi started this wee hours of the morning. I was awakened by the beautiful Christmas Carols coming from our parish church nearby. For me this is the sign that Christmas is just around the corner, knocking on every door. I just want to share what my house looks like right now.... it really feels like Christmas already!

Weight Loss Problems

It’s been years now since I’m planning to lose a couple of pounds, but still come December I always fail to start dieting in the first place. December is the hardest month to plan a regular diet because its Christmas season and everyone is preparing delicious food for the whole family to share. So how can one start a good diet? I started gaining weight when I had my kids. I used to weigh 85 to 93 lbs. and won’t even reach a 100. Now I can’t seem to maintain my weight to a 100 lbs.! I already weigh 130 lbs. and I’m afraid of getting heavier by the end of this year. I’ve been searching on magazines and on the internet on how to lose some of my weight without having to sacrifice my lifestyle or my health. I also read somewhere that crash dieting is dangerous to your health so I plan to have a slow but effective diet. No rush.

I saw an article about a pregnancy hormone called HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin). The HCG diet when consumed daily with proper food intake, exercise and lots of water could lose you a pound a day. So imagine losing 30 lbs. in just a month without having to sacrifice your health. There are two kinds of this HCG products, the oral type and the injectables. You can buy HCG online and they also have special promos like you can have the products for a lower cost if you buy for a 60 day supply and some freebies. I don’t like using injections so I would rather buy the oral ones, the drops and I think they also have the pills. But remember to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly  if you’re going to try this HCG diet. If you experience some side effects stop using the product and consult with your physician. That way, you’ll know if you can still continue the product or not. 

Goodbye Facebook Games!

I'm officially giving up all of my Facebook games! I have tons of updates to do here on my blogs and I just don't have the time for it if I can't give up my Facebook games. I started 6 games and now I'm down to one. I'm still convincing myself that I can live without having to open Facebook everyday. And I'm really left behind with my posts and all of my opps were expired! Gosh, imagine all of those $$$! Sighs..... so starting this December, I'll start updating my blogs and start concentrating  on my revenues.

Mommy Moments : Christmas Tree

It's Christmas season once again and everybody was busy decorating their homes and putting up Christmas trees. We put up our tree on the first week of November so that my kids will enjoy it longer. It's been two years now since we last decorated our home for Christmas because for the last two years, we always went abroad to celebrate the holiday season with our family there. This year, we'll be celebrating Christmas here in the Philippines and my kids were so happy to see our home full of Christmas decorations and our big Christmas tree.
