March 9, 2010 – it was Baby Gab’s first birthday. We had a simple celebration last night and there were just so much kids my home was filled with kids, moms, aunties, and uncles. There were lots of photos taken by my camera and my cousin’s camera. But because of poor lighting fixtures in the dining area, some of my photos are not so nice. I hope to grab a copy of those taken by the other camera.
Although, here is one of my favorite photo of me and Gab. -
Since I am now staying in the dorm, i don’t see him daily na. So when i see him, i like to carry him and make faces at him. Good thing he comes to me without fuss. 
I will be posting more birthday pics in the next entry.
I miss the shoot me meme again last Friday. I missed all my Friday memes too, not just the shoot me. So allow me to share this photo of me taken last Saturday with Lelan:
Beautiful? I think beautiful. hahaha I just love my own! Anyways, i am sharing this photo because i want to make a comparison. Long ago ive been blessed with a flawless facial skin but when i started have a severe acne problem, things were just not the same anymore. But thanks to FC now, my facial skin is almost back to normal. There are no more fresh growths weekly and my scars are starting to diminish. My problem before was how to stop the growth. Now my new problem is how to lighten the scars.
This is the reason why i kept telling my daughter to always clean up her hands and stop touching her face. Our hands are often dirty and bacteria can easily attach itself into the acne growth. What become horrible when the growth itself got puss later. I think it is just so unsightly. She will be in highschool this June and I am hoping she will be more particular in self care and hand hygiene.
I say galore because i had more than a cup within the last 48 hours. Saturday lunch, i had a half cup, and yesterday morning, another cup, and today lunch oh my gosh! for sure it was another cup or so. I can say that i had so much sweets for the last forty eight hours. I am sure it’s very bad for my health. Although i had gymtime yesterday for almost 2 hours, but the calories i had in ice cream was just too much. Bo bo me, I knew it’s bad yet i just can’t stop eating.
I don’t know how much level of sugar I have now but last year i know i was a bit beyond the border line. Last year too my cholesterol level was almost at the boundary so it was too early for me to take cholesterol treatment . I am still fit to do a faithful exercise and of course limit my food intake. But i plan to have my cholesterol check in the summer. Who knows it’s already beyond normal.
With the quantity of ice cream i had in the past 2 days, i guess i should not eat ice cream quite a long time from now on or else i will never ever lose weight.
I just finished the report my boss is going to use on Sunday and sent it to his home. He is leaving early tomorrow for General Santos City and am glad I am done. I am in the mood to blog more but I am in a hurry because I will do some window blinds cleaning. The temperature so high these days and the dust is just too much. The blinds needs weekly cleaning if not everyday or else when the dust is being wet, it turns into a little muddy pool.]
I need to do my laundry, too! But if later i won’t be too tired, I will try to check if i can get online and continue blogging.
My hormones are just active so i should not slack. Strike while the iron is hot!
I went shopping for a footwear!
I got a new set of office uniform (oh i wish i have a photo of it), one that needs a formal office shoes. So I was not able to wear the uniform Monday because i still did not have the shoes that will go with it. After I got the payout Monday noontime, i directly went to the telephone company to check on my bill adjustment and also pay the balance. Wow my bill was adjusted to a little bit more than five hundred pesos. Shopping for shoes was next in mind but my time is not enough anymore, so i thought of coming back in the evening.
I have already scouted the shoes last week so i only need to go back to buy it. So that’s it!
Before i went to the cashier to pay the pair of shoes, i still took time to go around to check other styles. And i saw one. I asked a lady to get me the complete pair and when i put tried it on, wow it feels good on my feet. 
It took me some more minutes to decided when i saw the price. I can afford the price but I am also thinking i can use the money to pay or to buy other staff. But then i was also thinking that the last time i bought a good pair of high heels was in 2007 when i was in Bangkok. The money i used on that was the salary i earned teaching for 8 hrs at my cousin’s school. So since my Payu2blog earnings are hard earned money, i thought that it is just right i should treat myself for another pair of heels. So here it is -
I am waiting for Saturday so that i can use it. I always have this idea that any new thing first used on a Saturday or Sabbath, it will last longer.
So, happy new footwears for me!
I now have 7pairs of footwears in the dorm and that includes 2 rubber sleepers. Though the office shoes will just be a standby pair at the office. The new heels, it is still hidden away in the locker.
Next pay out – it’s Dimple’s time. It’s almost to her graduation time eh. Nothing like new dress because she does not need as they are going to use a toga, but i hope to give her something that she wishes for.
All these, thank you Payu2blog for all the tasks given! You are one great company and am glad i am in Payu2blog wagon. Thank you also to God for giving me the strength to make a post even though most of the time am tired and not feeling like blogging. But when there are tasks, i just forgot for some moments that am really down.
I got an email earlier last week that she is coming this way very soon. She also left her number so i could text her. As i want to really meet her even long time ago, i texted her and of course wanted a meet-up! And we did! Last Saturday (February 27, 2010, 5:30 pm)
We just asked any of the waiters to take a picture of us. This is just for documentation purposes but i cropped it to hide my big tummy. hahahaa Yen is very beautiful and in person. She got a very sweet and friendly smile that right away i feel it’s like we’re not meeting for the first time. We had a quick dining at Mandarin REsto at the Gaisano Mall.
Yen is the author of the blogs, Notablebistro and Around the World and Me and Mine. Something went wrong with her Me and Mine so the blog does not currently exist. We met online through blogging in 2007 (just when i started blogging) and it’s so nice to feel that after two years we met in person.
Thank you Yen for taking time to meet. I now understand how busy you are and at least this time you took time to see me. Nagkita na jud ta! I hope we meet again next time and promise I won’t be in a hurry to leave for an appointment.
This meeting made me wish for meetings with other online friends in the future. It’s great online kindness and friendliness be felt in the real world.

I had my hair cut. New look. New style. Hopefully it will give me a new mood. hahaha. I had my hair and pedi done at Reyes Hair Center. The woman assigned to me does not have a TLC touch. I loudly groan in pain when she tried to reach out the deepest side of my toenails to pick a dead skin. She has a sort of heavy hand. Even on my hair, she does not a smooth move. Thanks though she did cut it right to what i want.
While i was waiting for my turn, i can’t help to think of what transpired before i left the dorm. Haii mommy life! I wish am not yet a mommy now. I felt a bit bad about it but to give her a lesson, i did give her a very hard one.
Photo to follow tomorrow.
My Project 365 is being updated and you can checked it out here. I have 22 photos up as of today and that’s the total for my project 365 since i started early in January. I am suppose to do do clicking daily but because of too much work, I just forgot at times and also when am out I forgot my camera at the office. Just now, I posted my 22nd photo.
I’ve been doing my tasks one by one, from one blog to another and I realized that often I am doing nutrisystem reviews and i find it very informative. Informative not only for me but for everyone especially those who are on diet and weight conscious. Earlier i was invited to a birthday celebration at the HR office and before i could start eating, I saw a weighing scale at one corner and automatically I checked my weight and it’s unbelievable. It seems the weighing scale is broken or just too kind. hahaha
I can vividly remember the time i posted this card for my family here in the Philippines. I posted it a week after i visited the Great Wall of China.
I love my China days and up to now i still miss many of my happy memories out there. Even the bad ones, they are still worth reminiscing. It was also there that i have discovered how important natural appetite suppressants are to Chinese women that is why they are as thin as the bamboo stick. But really, i always tell my chinese girl friends to eat well and eat healthy so that they will look more beautiful.
I was reading a health magazine today and i saw a young girl with many scars on her legs and upper arms due to deep skin eczema three years ago. She really thought she would never get over the health problem. But she took time to change her lifestyle especially the food – so right now it turned to scars. The scars remind her that one day she got skin problems. She is still very young and she is hopeful that in years to come her scar will grow thinner with the help of a skin lazer.
Personally, i had my skin cut right down there near my foot. The hard crust of the wound was just off last week so the reddish brown scar skin is still so obvious. But i will treat this with daily skin care so am sure in due time it will not looks so bad.
