before bikini season

January 30th, 2009

I might start a new blog solely dedicated to my weight loss attempts.  How many times have I attempted to lose weight in the past?  The excess weight would come off, I would maintain it but only for awhile and gain it all back again and again.  How many times have you heard this story or cycle?  Too many times, right?  No wonder.  Because losing weight as I and you know is a lifestyle.  It does not stop when we lose the weight already.  We have to maintain our desired weight with proper diet and exercise.  I think that is the hardest part.  The maintenance phase.  The first part of the weight loss program is actually the easiest.  With Safe Diet Pills, exercise and the right food, weight comes off pretty fast.  Especially when you use Top Diet Pills that almost always guarantee that you’d lose weight when you take them.

I have recently come across Proactol Reviews and the product looks promising.  It’s a clinically proven weight loss supplement that reduces fat intake by over 27%.  Aside from that, it minimizes food intake by suppressing your appetite.  And the best part is it eliminates fat even before digestion.  No more excess fats absorption.  It’s probably best to try this especially now that I need to lose weight before bikini season.

just like kuya

January 29th, 2009

Thank you for the encouraging comments on this post. I made Chollo read your comments so he could be inspired to study harder. He also thanks all of you. He said it ain’t easy but he’s just trying his best and giving his 100 percent in every subject he has now. Although he doesn’t like them all especially his computer professor who thinks he’s better than all of them and really lets them know it. Brag, that’s what he calls him.

Anyway, do you think MG would just let his kuya take all the spotlight? Well, here are the results of her third quarterly exam. Emphasis on Math…only two mistakes.

gwen grade

And she even has an advanced subject on alphabet reading. I’m so proud of her. She has come a long way. Imagine, at 2 years old, she only knew and spoke less than 20 words. Her gross and fine motor skills were that of a one year old. But look at her now, she can even give you a dance number comparable to any regular kid. She has really developed some skills. She dresses up on her own now. She packs away her things. She knows where to put her dirty clothes. And those are not the only ones. She even sticks her pinky inside my nose whenever I sleep. =) I don’t know where she’s seen that but she’s getting good at it.

That’s basically my MG now. Special or regular, she’s still a kid.

beautiful and smart

January 28th, 2009

Who does not know Barbie?  Every girl wants one and any girl would like to be one.  Why not?  I mean, she is just one of the quintessential American icons of the century.  Well, I don’t know that for a fact but ask anyone, even your mothers and aunts if they have ever been fascinated at one point in their lives with this all-American bombshell.

But Barbie has evolved and so are the girls admiring her.  She is not only beautiful, she is also smart.  Just like the girl in the video here.  She is Kenaudra and she goes to school like everyone else.  She likes pizza like everyone else.  She’s a regular kid.  But what makes her a smart girl is she makes time for other things.  She’s into creative dance and she plays steel drums.  That’s so cool, right?  Well, Amy Poehler is right on when she said that smart girls have more fun.  That’s how it is with girls today.  You can be beautiful and smart, too.  Just like Barbie.  By the way, you can get your own widget here and share it by embedding it on any social networks available and start sharing your Barbie memories with friends.  Enjoy.

baby essentials

January 28th, 2009

I can still remember how hard it was for me to go shopping for baby essentials and carrying so much weight because of pregnancy.  I think I had to sit down almost half the time.  If there was a stroller for pregnant moms that time, I would have ridden it without even batting an eyelash.  It was so tiring.  But I needed to accomplish my shopping before my due date so I had no choice.

If I had known about ShopWiki and the things it can do, I wouldn’t have left the house and would probably have more time for rest and relaxation.  It would definitely make life so much easier.  It basically seeks out everything and anything on the internet with just a keyword.  You type in what you need and it comes back with all the possible shopping sites in the internet based on that search.  It saves on time and gas.  And not to mention, the pain and struggle of long walks from store to store.  Now, if I need a book for my daughter, all I have to do is type children’s books and I have so many choices at the tip of my fingertips.  Isn’t that great?  And best of all, no more waiting in line.

my son’s grades

January 24th, 2009

My friends always tell me that I’m so lucky to have a son like Chollo.  He’s unlike kids his age.  He has no irritating habits like smoking and drinking.  He doesn’t answer back impolitely when I scold him.  He would rather stay home and study than go out with his friends on weekends.  He has a girlfriend but I think she’s a good influence to him.  The fact that she belongs to the Dean’s List made my son study even harder.  And now,  they both belong to the Dean’s List.  Just look at his grades last semester.

I’m so proud of him.  I hope he maintains his grades throughout college.

can’t wait

January 22nd, 2009

I can’t wait for school to be over.  I wish summer is here.  No more waking up and sleeping early.  I would switch on the TV and watch late-nite movies and talk shows.  I would watch it straight through without setting the off alarm that signals time for bed.  I could watch people up and dressed doing their jobs and for one not be part of the morning or afternoon rush.   I would love to get myself dressed and then get MG dressed and head out to the mall and not to school or therapy.  Or even just fall into a deep, unscheduled sleep.  Lovely, isn’t it?  Then wake up, head out again and go home when the sun is already down and not before.

But we still have two more months before school is officially over.  Story of my life….
