Time is Gold

Posted on Oct 12, 2011 11:14:56 AM

I don’t have enough moolah to collect anything but given the resources, I’d be collecting high-end watches especially stainless steel watches. I am using a 6 year old Fossil stainless steel watch now and have no plans in buying a new one right now.

I am a person who’s very particular about time. I respect other people’s time so I am hoping that they would respect mine as well. When I was still working, I made it a point not be late. Same case when I was still in school. My travel time from school to office was only 1 hour (Lawton to Sucat) and everyone knows how awful the traffic jam is in that stretch during regular days more so during rush hours. Despite that, I never got late in school or in the office. That’s how much I respected my school and office schedules back then.

How about you, do you value time?

Blessed and Thankful

Posted on Oct 8, 2011 11:22:15 AM

As a work-at-home mom, I no longer have to get up early, wear corporate clothes and commute to work every freaking day – for this I am already thankful. I earn a decent sum of money at the comforts of my own home so I am with my kids 24/7 – something that I should be grateful of. I am so blessed, yes.

While going to the bakery supplies store this morning I met two working people. No they were not from the corporate world nor people with cleaner jobs, they were sales persons. The type of their work was to go from household to household and sell floor brushes (the type of brushes that you could get from Divisoria for P20 a piece). I overheard them talking about the route they were planning to take so they could sell more brushes. Commission based sila siyempre and the guy said that he needs to sell a hundred of those brushes to earn P300 that week. How sad is that?

This encounter made me realize how lucky I am to be earning this much. No, I don’t earn millions (yet hehe)! So what right do I have to be complaining about not having money everyday?

Gone were the days when people get bored for they have nothing to do. Nowadays, days and nights have become shorter for everyone are so into a lot of things that 24 hours each day is not enough for them.

I for now is into arts and crafts now. One of my hobbies is jewelry making , super thankful that I didn’t threw out the jewelry making tools I purchased a decade ago! I turn beads into wonderful work of art like earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Aside from this I am also blogging, so into sewing and yes baking. Not to mention being a hands-on mom to my two kids

How about you? what makes you busy these days?

After the Baby Shower and Birthday comes the Baptismal

Posted on Sep 19, 2011 10:35:43 AM

Perhaps people are always looking for ways to celebrate. After the baby shower and birthday comes the baptismal.

Actually we still don’t have any fixed date on when Lana will be baptized. I believe December is the best date, right? She’d be 4 months by then.

Party Inspirations is one of my sister’s inspirations when it comes to party preparations. They make the best invitations, cakes and what-have-yous for parties. Check out their Facebook fan page.

Mayweather is a cheat!

Posted on Sep 19, 2011 08:09:48 AM

Yesterday was Mayweather’s fight versus Ortiz. Though I am not a boxing fan myself, I am well aware of any Boxing Week because every male specie at home are so fond of boxing.

Yesterday was not an exception. The whole family except me probably was glued to the television yesterday to watch the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight and all I heard from them was that Mayweather cheated. Oh well, he is indeed a cheat noting his words against Manny Pacquiao.

He’s nothing but a loser. Got no balls.

The Sims are back!

Posted on Sep 19, 2011 07:59:25 AM

This time via social networking site Facebook! I remember back in 2004when I used to spend countless days and nights playing this online game. My mom would reprimand me as I no longer sleep, my usual daily routine was play Sims, watch Smallville and play Room for Squares all day.

So this is what’s happening to my little girl now…she’s playing The Sims Social using multiple accounts. Should I worry?

Star Magic Ball Red Carpet

Posted on Sep 4, 2011 03:41:49 AM

I am a Kapamilya but unfortunately, I don’t have the time to follow and stalk my favorite Kapamilya stars. Fine that I see them on TV, fine if I don’t. I am not one of those who spends lots of time watching every careful move of their favorite stars, and no, I don’t stalk anyone, not even Piolo Pascual.

Last night was the Star Magic Ball and every fan of Kapamilya stars were drooling over the beautifully created gowns and tuxedos. The sight was to die for, it always is! I tried to follow all the Twitpics posted by fans and tweets with #starmagicball hash tag but I got so sleepy LOL anyhoo, if you want unconventional wedding ideas, browse the photos of this year’s Star Magic Ball It’s like watching celebrity weddings on your screen.

Are diet pills safe for breastfeeding moms?

Posted on Sep 1, 2011 09:56:30 AM

I’m giving birth via Cesarean section on Sunday, September 4th 2011 and I couldn’t wait to breastfeed my little Lana. They said that moms who breastfeed loses weight easily compared to moms who don’t. They get back in shape effortlessly, they said.

Here are 6 Guidelines for Safe Dieting during Breastfeeding. Found this online and hopefully it could help moms who are planning to breastfeed and lose weight.

• The 2-month Rule - moms should wait until the baby turns two months before starting on any diet. This will give the mom’s body enough time to establish a healthy milk supply. Breastfeeding alone will help you burn 200-500 calories per day without any effort.
• Breastfeed without restriction – frequent and prolonged breastfeeding and increases maternal weight loss.
• Eat at least 1500-1800 calories per day – below this will put your supply at risk.
• Lose weight but not more than 1.5 pounds per week.
• Gradually decrease the calories. – Sudden drop in calories will reduce your milk supply.
• Avoid quick-fix solutions. – Here’s the bomb: Liquid diets, low-carb diets, fad diets, weight loss medication, or any other intake of diet pills are definitely not recommended during breastfeeding.

That’s it

Are you a watch lover?

Posted on Aug 16, 2011 08:30:06 AM

I am.

I just do not have the riches to buy expensive ones. I do not collect watches because most of my purchases are cheap ones hehe but in the near future I hope I would be able to buy myself one Philip Stein and the latest released bulova watch. These are the kinds of watches that I would only wear on special occasions but I would still wear my pink pearl dial Fossil every day
