Summer vacation...

My summer vacation officially starts last Saturday as my host family drove to Spain. But still, I have to do a little bit of cleaning before they come home this 9th. And I have to water the plants too. But it's ok coz they told me that I don't have to work even if they're already home this 9th. I still have a month's vacation. Yohoo! And I'm so happy coz they gave me a summer bonus, just like last summer, but this time, it's 1k higher. Thanks God!

And so, I came back here just this afternoon and I worked slowly in the house since I have plenty of time. I washed the beddings today and I'll be putting new ones tomorrow. Meanwhile, I am checking out Lingerie Diva and I'm having fun viewing the different bodystockings they're featuring. If you want to buy a piece of lingerie too, then it's the right site for you.:)

Back from the longgg weekend!

Hi everyone! I am finally back from my long weekend! I just hope you had a nice one. I had so much fun and a lot of bonding time with my SFC family. And I did a lot of pigging out too with my dearest sisters,:( I was indeed guilty, but I can't help it,huhuhu. You can read the details of my long weekend at my Julai's Corner.

See you there,:)

Thanks God, she's finally preggy!

Ohh my, I am just overwhelmed with gladness because I just chatted with Ate Mari and she told me the news, she's finally preggy. Thanks God, the prayer has been answered finally. Ate Mari, is an online friend from Manila. I instantly became close to her because we have a lot of things in common and number 1 in the list is our faith to God and we belong to the same community, that is CFC.

She and the hubby want to have a baby already and they've been waiting for it patiently for years. They've danced at Obando a lot of times and finally God has answered their prayer and my prayer as well. She's already 2 months preggy now, but I only knew now coz I haven't visited her blog for a long time coz of my busy schedule.

She said that she already felt the early signs of pregnancy and to make sure about it, she had a pregnancy test. And it was confirmed, she was preggy and so she informed her hubby immediately by calling him in the office. And the hubby went cold and can't move upon hearing the news. He's in awe with God's blessing to them. He immediately asked for a leave the following day to bring Ate to the OB for check-up and it was another blessing coz the OB found out that there's already a trace of bleeding, so Ate has to have a bed rest for 2 weeks to avoid the bleeding. And now, she's ok and I'm really so happy for her.

I will share to Ate the link that I found which will be helpful in her pregnancy, it's Early Signs of Pregnancy at http://earlysignsofpregnancy.in.

of corn and cucumber....

I ate lunch before coming down here in my apartment and I just ate a mixture of corn and cucumber,:) Trying to really slim down,hehehe. I took a can of corn from the basement and some slices of cucumber, I mixed it and put some vinegar in it. I also took a cup of tea afterwards.:) I also weighed myself before coming down here and the scale says : 52 kg. Hmmm, sounds good coz I already get rid of the extra 1/2 kg. from the weekend.hehehe

Side note: Check the KVM link to find more about it.**

Got to take a bath...

I came here in my apartment right after walking the eldest child to school. We didn't hurry coz they don't have normal classes anymore, just SFO (the play session).

I'm going to take a bath after this post because I haven't done it this morning,grrrrrrrrrr. I put the alarm at 6am, but I finally got up from bed at 6:57am. I got late and I only washed my face and brushed my teeth,:( I slept at around 1am last night and so getting up from bed was really difficult,hehehe.

More updates later friends.

Attacked by pimples....

I'm really frustrated with my pimples,huhuhu. They've been in my forehead since last week and they're getting bigger now,:( I think it's because of stress and lack of sleep combined. I've been stressed with work last week because of the busy schedule and been sleeping short lately because it's still so light even at 11pm or 12 midnight and my apartment has no curtain at all to make it dimmer.

And it's not only me who's being attacked by pimples these days, but my friends too. 2 of my friends are also complaining about their pimples coz just like mine, their pimples are getting bigger too,grrrrrrrrr. And I'm really worried that it might turn into acne (knock on the wood) and I so hate the possibility coz I already experienced it during my college days and it's really a very frustrating experience.

And due to my frustration, I started surfing for sites talking about pimples and acne this afternoon. And one site sticks on my mind coz it's really very informative. It's all about acne information where you can read all topics related to acne. From causes of acne and it's different treatments. The site is http://acneremoval.org and you can also visit it especially if you are also having acne problems. I'll also share this site to my acne-worried friends to learn some tips and information. The site also talks about acne laser treatment, one of the modern remedies of treating acne nd especially recommended to those who are experiencing a very serious kind of acne.

I'm really hoping that my pimples will soon go away!

the usual problem....

Here I am again with the my usual problem during weekends...pigging out,huhuhu. Our dearest Ate Bren has her birthday on June 19, but she celebrated it with family and friends on Saturday (June 21) on a rented location. So we were busy in the preparation. Ate prepared filipino foods and a lot of cake for dessert. And yours truly pigged out with friends,hehehe. But at least, it's not bad this time compared to the other pigging out sessions in the past,:) I was more in control last weekend and the weighing scale confirms it coz it still stays at 52.5 kg. So it's not really bad at all,:)

I have a lot of exercising and tea-drinking to do this week, especially that our Singles Congress is already in 2 weeks time and I don't wanna come there with a bulging stomach,hehehe.

On weight loss...

As I've shared to you in my earlier posts, I'm so inspired these days because of the "little" weight loss that I'm experiencing. :) Though the weight decrease is just a little bit, but it's enough to put me on high and to keep me motivated to continue my self-control over food and my tea-drinking. :) It's really so uplifting since I've been waiting for this for so long and finally here it comes,yeheyyy!!

And with the weight loss that I'm experiencing, I'm also inspired in surfing for different health sites and for sites featuring diet supplements, just in case I'll need help from them in the future,hehehe. The latest site I stumbled unto is buycheapdietpillsonline.com where you can buy a lot of diet pills on cheap prices, just like ephedra weight loss pills, zenalean with ephedra and many others.

If you are also planning to aid you weight loss with diet pills, just feel free to visit buycheapdietpillsonline.com, but make sure to make a thorough research about a certain pills before finally finally deciding to buy one.

52 kg...

I'm so glad coz even if I pigged out a little bit last weekend, but the weighing scale still says 52 kg. when I hopped in this morning,hehehe. I ate a lot of hotdogs and cakes during the birthday party of the youngest kid last Sunday. I was so guilty, but I was not able to resist the temptation too,:( And glad that drinking a lot of tea really helps in digesting and getting rid of all those unwanted calories that I've been consuming,:)

Anyways, I made spring rolls for dinner today as as usual, it's yummy and they loved it. But tomorrow, I won't be making dinner coz they're going to attend a summer feast in the kindergarten of the youngest kid. Yohoo, an early off for me and I'm lovin' it!hehehehe

A busy weekend!

Ohh my, my last post here was last Saturday and I'm so sorry about it,:( The weekend has been a busy weekend for me indeed! I went to my kuskos on Saturday morning and was babysitting in the evening. And on Sunday, I helped the neighbor in setting up the food for the baptism of their baby and then transferred to my employer's place at 1pm until 3pm to help in the bday party of the youngest kid. It was raining and I was not able to go to Church,huhuhuh.

And yesterday, I was off early at 12 noon coz my female employer just stayed home coz the youngest kid was sick . But I was not able to blog coz I slept from 12-4pm and then woke up and did some surfing. And slept again at 8pm til morning. What a sleepy head I've been yesterday. I was just too tired and all I want to do is sleep, sleep, sleep,hehehe.

Finally asleep!

Finally the kids are asleep after struggling to put them to bed. What a relieved! They're supposed to be in bed at 7:30pm, but they asked for an extension coz they want to watch the cinderalla film til the end. So I said yes since it's about to end. So at around 8pm, they went upstairs and brushed their teeth. The eldest child went to bed directly and fall asleep shortly. The youngest child that she can't sleep, so I tried to calm her down and put her to bed. But she just wouldn't listen. She's always like that and she started to go downstairs and did some other things. I brought her to her room by force and she wasn't sleeping still. So, I locked her up in her room and she went hysterical. Good for her so she'll be tired and fall asleep afterwards. I heard her crying until she stops. I just checked and she's asleep already. Thanks God, what a relieved!

Anyways, I'm also thankful that my pimples are gone now. I can still feel a little bit of humps in my forehead though, but atleast it's no longer visible. Atleast now I'm relieved that I wouldn't resort to the natural acne treatment of acnexus.com.

Ephedra products

The kids are playing and watching TV at the same time. And I'm here sitting in the dining table and doing a lot of things,hehehe. I'm also surfing for health articles while drinking green tea with mint flavor. I just stumbled into a site that features ephedra products.

Ephedra products has been in the market for years mainly for slimming purposes. Though FDA has banned it, but you can still buy ephedra products legally in the market these days since FDA has no legal control over ephedra products. But of course, before buying any ephedra products or any other slimming products, you have to make a thorough research first. And in the case of ephedra, check first if there's ephedra dangers prior to buying.

Hydroxyslim is one of the high selling ephedra products. It's anadvanced, patent-pending weight-loss product formulated from all-natural specialized herbal ephedrine formula and it's also been specifically designed for people looking to lose weight, increase energy, and burn calories while enjoying an all-natural product in an easy-to-swallow caplet. If you want to try or know more about hydroxyslim diet pill, just visit http://www.buy-ephedra-products.com.

More green tea....

My once in a while "kuskos" called me 2 days ago and asked me to clean their place today. So I went there at 10:30 am until 2:30pm. And I went to the store nearby afterwards. I went some things for my apartment and I bought another box of green tea for me,:) I still have 2 boxes of tea in my apartment and it take turns in drinking each type. But I read that green tea is the best among all type, so I'll try consume more green tea from now on,:)

I am waiting for the cup of tea to be colder before drinking,:)

Worried...

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying a good weekend right now,:) I am here in my employer's place looking after the children because my employers went to the new opera house here in Norway.

Anyways, I am worried because I pigged out yesterday during the GA and at Nanay and Tatay's place. Though I ate a lot of fruits yestarday, but still I'm worried what the scale will display,hehehe. But it's ok coz I have to reward myself sometimes and I'll just double time in drinking tea and I'll start right after this post,:)

Sorting out!

I blogged late tonight coz I've been busy cleaning here in my apartment and I also cleaned my closet and sorted out my clothes. Been planing to clean my closet since last month, but I was just too lazy to do it. Glad that I finally did it tonight and I'm now relieved coz the closet looks nice and spacious,hehehe. I already took out a lot of clothes that I don't wanna use anymore. I mean, I'm still using them, but I think I have to stop using them coz they don't look that good anymore,:) I took out a lot of old, funny t shirts and I'll be giving them away. Let's see if someone will be interested in wearing my old clothes,hehehe.

I love tea!

I'm still drinking tea 4-5 cups a day and I'm loving it and my system is already looking for it when the scheduled time comes.:) I guess I'm just really inspired because the tea drinking really helps me a lot in losing some pounds and I think it works best coz I'm also doing a lot of walking these days since I'm walking the eldest child to school almost everyday and I also pick her up sometimes.

51 kg....

That's the result that appeared in the weighing scale this morning as I weighed myself,:) I'm so happy and was really so inspired to do my general cleaning,hehehehe. The weight decrease really boots my confidence a lot that I can really loss weight by controlling my cravings for food. I'll be going out for the weekend tomorrow and I'll do my best not to pig out.

Remembering Lola....

I just stumbled into a site that features Vasopro Ehpedrine HCL, a pills that helps relieve shortness of breathing, congestion in the chest and wheezing because of bronchial asthma a while ago and I instantly remember my dear Lola (father side) because she was hospitalized for days because of asthma and high blood pressure. And thanks God because she's well now and already checked out from the hospital almost 2 weeks ago now. I was just wondering why Lola was diagnosed with Asthma when she don't have it before. I don't really remember any incident of Lola suffering from Asthma. My aunts and uncles were wondering too.

Aside from being an asthma reliever, Vasopro Ehpedrine HCL is also used for weight loss these days. And I'm thinking, maybe it will be good for Lola, so she can have a medication for her asthma and loss weight at the same time to reduce her high blood pressure. Hmmm, sounds really good. But of course, she just can't take any tables or medication without consulting her doctor.

Anyways, aside from Vasopro Ehpedrine HCL, http://www.vasopro-ephedrine-hcl.com also features other fat burners and energizers, just like eca stack and yellow swarm. To know more about the products, just click each link.

Short sleep is OK!

This is the thought conveyed in the article that I read a while ago at Yahoo. It really interests me since I only have short sleep everyday.

Here's a script from the article and it's an explanation from the study of Daniel Kripke, co-director of research at the Scripps Clinic Sleep Center in La Jolla, California:

Q: How much sleep is ideal?

A: Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hours and 7.5 hours a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 6.5 hours, they don't live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hours. Sleeping 8.5 hours might really be a little worse than sleeping five.

It was also indicated the article that " spending less time in bed actually makes sleep better. It is in fact a more powerful and effective long-term treatment for insomnia than sleeping pills".

Hmmm the article really uplifts my spirit, atleast, I'm no longer that guilty for sleeping less everyday,:)

To read the entire article, just click here.

Stacker fat burners and zenatrol

Another diet supplement that I stumbled yesterday is Stacker fat burners. It has been developed originally for bodybuilders as an effective herbal alternative to the practice of "stacking", wherein bodybuilders routinely engaged in by stacking and ingesting Ephedrene HCL, caffeine and aspirin to give them extra energy for work outs and acquire a lean cut look before competitive shows.

Through the years, the bodybuilders using Stacker begun recommending it to their friends as weight control and because it works, Stacker 2 was developed by NVE for the benefit of the general public. After Stacker 2, NVE also formulated Stacker 3 fat burner and one of the basic differences of the two fat burners is that, Stacker 3 contains Chitosan extracted from shellfish which is a type of fat-blocker. For more stacker 3 reviews, http://www.buy-stacker-2-3.com.

Another fat burner featured at http://www.buy-stacker-2-3.com is zenatrol fat burner yesterday. It contains real ephedra and is comparable in formula to the original Xenadrine RFA-1 with ephedra. Zenatrol ephedra diet pill is made with the same key ingredients that were used in the original Xenadrine RFA-1 with ephedra.

Morning ritual!

Weighing myself has been a morning ritual to me, or more of a daily routine already coz I'm weighing myself more than 3x a day, to check if the weight is really the same,hehehe.

And just this morning, after walking the eldest child to school, I hopped into the weighing scale and the result is an inspiring 51 kg. Hmmmm, was it really real? But I'm so happy coz it inspires me more to be more determined in shedding off the extra pounds and to hold on to my self - discipline when it comes to foods.

I'm feeling sooo good these days!Yohoo, thanks God!

Calotren

Inspired by the little weight loss, I started surfing for diet supplement, just in case I can't really shed off the extra pounds naturally, then the next option is to ask reinforcement from an effective diet supplement.:)

I stumbles into a site that features Calotren, an all-natural protein formula diet supplement that works as a nutritional supplement that assists the body in shedding excess body fat and toxins naturally. And the good thing is that it doesnt stimulate, starve or trick your body into weight loss. It simply supports the body's lean muscle tissue and fuels the body's natural mechanism in burning off excess fats and sugars more efficiently. For those who are underweight or in good physical condition, Calotren also encourages stamina and energy.

The description od Calotren sounds really good because most of the common description of the diet pills I've read in the past is that they stimulate starvation as to get rid of excess fats which is not good for the body. I also tried looking for side effects in using calotren, but I found none because there's no such thing as calotren side effects coz Calotren is a doctor-approved proprietary formulation consisting of all-natural ingredients that are essential in making it safe and effective. It is also safe, all natural, no caffeine or stimulants, no ephedrine or amphetamines and does not interfere with any medications.

If you want to read more about the diet supplement, just visit http://www.cheap-calotren.com and you can also buy calotren from the site.

Was it for real??

Ohh my, I just can't believe the weighing scale as I weighed myself this morning,hehehe. The pointer stopped between 51 and 52 kg.,hmmmm was it really real or the weighing scale is not functioning right?? Anyways, whatever the real reason behind, I'm so inspired that I'm getting a positive result of all the dieting and tea-drinking that I'm doing for the past weeks. But I think the weighing scale was really tellin the truth coz I observed that the tummy ig getting flatter,hehehe. I just hope I'll reach 50 kg. and maintain it coz it's really what I'm aiming for.

The kids are sick!

My dear mother sent me a text message informing me that my nieces are sick.:( They are both having fever and their mother took the younger one to the infirmary yesterday. The doctor said that one of the reasons might be the changing weather. I just hope they'll get well very soon coz it's really difficult for my sis-in-law taking care of 2 sick children, poor her,:( Good thing and my sis-in-law has already a medicare insurance and the children are part of it, atleast, getting a visit to the doctor every now and then won't be a hassle anymore since they don't have to pay much.

Anyways, my sis-in-law sent me an SMS a while ago, telling me that the kids don't have fever anymore, thanks God. And I just hope that the fever will go away permanently,:)

maintained!

Yohoo, I'm so happy today coz my weight is maintained though I went out for the weekend. Usually, going back from the weekend is always a disappointment for me coz my weight always increases after the weeked. But as I weighed myself this morning, my weight is just about the same as last Friday, around 53 kg. Yohoo!! I just hope that there will be no more weight increase during weekends. So, it means that I'm already able to control my appetite,:) Progress indeed!:)

I need a break!

I'm still shaking and and it seems that there's really a bomb that's about to explode here in my heart,:( I'm really disappointed coz I don't want to have a disagreement with my friends as much as possible,huhuhuh. The idea of relaxing in one of the laughlin hotels seems to nice. The name implies a lot of laughing and fun, so maybe it will help me in relieving my disappointment right now. I really need a break!

A sad weekend!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing fine there and hope you had a nice weekend. Mine was a nice one from Friday til Saturday and it went sour this afternoon coz of a little disagreement with my friend. As in, I'm so hurt right now and I'm shaking from the disappointment that I'm feeling..as in feeling ko wala akong kakampi at ang sakit sakit talaga, parang sasabog ang dibdib ko sa disappointment..hahayyyy..

Not so bad!

I already weighed myself few times today at my employer's place and I was so relieved coz the scale says 53 kg. It increased from the 52 or 52.5 kg last week, but it's ok coz the increase is not that bad..I'll work hard this week to shed it off again. And I hope I just can maintain it coz I'm not really impressed of the on and off weight gain. I want a stable result!

The tea drinking is still on and I'm currently taking my 5th cup of the day,:)

Guilty!

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. I had a nice one with my SFC family. I got back from the weekend almost 2 hours ago and I felt so guilty of feeling bloated,:( I've been controlling myself in eating over the weekend, but still, I ate more than I should eat,:(huhuhuh. And this afternoon, our joint household went to Sognsvann for grilling and I ate much again,huhuhu. But anyways, I've been drinking a lot of tea in the weekend though, just like the same ritual I have here in my apartment. I am also in the process of consuming my 2nd cup of tea for the night,:)

I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow and I just hope that there's not much difference. Last Friday, the weight went down to 52 kg and hope that the result of tomorrow's weighing won't be frustrating.:)
