New TV

My dad bought a big sony lcd tv with a home threatre last month. We loved to watch tv in their bedroom because of the cool sound. So I gave him tons of movies to kept him occupied during the weekends. And now that he has cool home threatre, he gave us old tv. We plan to get some tv stands because the old one is kinda small. I can tell it'll look nice in our living room.

Pure water

Ever since the typhoon hit us, we became more cautious on what we eat and drink. The hubby started to purchase mineral water because we cannot risk the health of our little kiddo. Prevention is always the best than cure. That's why I suggested that we also get the water softener purifier so we can have purified water without purchasing outside. The hubby might consider this and I'm happy about it.

Flash drive

Getting the flash drive is one of the best things I did these past few months. It's very very useful especially for me who needs to transfer files a lot. Everybody knows we loved taking pictures and transferring those files is sometimes a headache. Me and my friend also use it to share music and movies. Not to mention the TV series that we always watch. I might but another flash drive, with a bigger memory this time.

Insurance

It's been awhile since I watched television. But sometimes I chose not to because of all the bad news I'm hearing. But of course, I need to be aware of what's going on, like the economic crisis, weather and many more. We'll never know what's in store for us in the future, so it's always better to safe than sorry. That's why we are planning to get at least, cheap insurance. Now that the little kiddo is growing up fast, it'll be very useful for us to get insurance.

Treat acne

The most effective way to treat acne is by going to the dermatologist. I've learned that through experience when I did not had any other choice. There came a time when I was so depress and frustration about my acne problem. The doctor helped me treat acne and gain back my confidence. I just wish I went there sooner.

Acne cure

I've spend almost my entire life searching for that perfect acne cure. I remembered, I tried almost all the promising acne regimen available in the market but sadly, none of them worked for me. Recently, I've learned from an accutane reviews that this actually works. They use a powerful ingredient to eliminate acne. I hope this is the one I'm looking for because obviously, I don't want to undergo another trial and error type of thing.

Natural fat burner

A lot of people I know wants to slim down in time for summer. Some prefer the fast and effortless way to trim the fat. Of course, who doesn't want that right? But of course, if you have the time and money, you could. But it's always the best to do it the natural way. Diet and exercise is the most natural fat burner and not to mention, healthy too. I prefer the diet and exercise plan because it's a winner if you see results from your hard work.

Diet plan scheme

I've come up with a diet plan scheme because summer is fast approaching and I need to slim down fast. I bought a high fiber all wheat cereal to replace my rice meal. So that means, I'm down to one meal rice a day. It helps because it prevents the big tummy from getting more bigger. I read somewhere that it'll still boils down to what I eat so I'm eating healthy and less now. I also exercise once and if I have time, I do it twice a day. Because taking a bath in the afternoon and another before I go to sleep. I am also considering taking diet supplements because it also helps. Join me in preparing for summer.

Now is the time

2010 is a big year for us. We have plans on traveling local and abroad this year and we are looking forward to it. I know we need funds but I think we can produce them if we really believe we can do it. I don't want to sit down here and dream. It's time to take action and now is the time for that. So I advised the hubby to slim down so we won't have any problems getting medical in the future. I told him to check cholesterol treatment and use his medicard while the treatment is free. Now is the time, ours is the power.

Slimming down

Holidays are over and for some of us, flabs are big again but not for me. I had my share of gluttony moments last holiday but I was still watching what I eat. And I did my sit ups when the year started so hopefully I can do it for the rest of the year. Tomorrow's gonna me rest day so I'll move the furnitures here so I can access again our fitness equipment. I know I need to run on the treadmill again so I can slim down faster. It's time to slim down and enjoy the summer.

No acne

My sister and I are prone to acne, I don't why. Maybe it's the genes from our dad so all we can do is to have it treated by an expert. It's somewhat expensive, if you see it that way, but that's way it is. My sister started her treatment last year and skin cleared up using adult acne solutions from the dermatologist. We are now using maintenance creams to keep acne away. But still, I prefer to visit the dermatologist.

Acne no more

I still have acne problems once in awhile but not that severe just like last year. It all ended when I visited the dermatologist and undergo several painful sessions to remove the acne. It's worth it because my face cleared up and I'm more confident up to this day. I can still purchase and continue the sessions, if I have the time and money, but maintenance medicine and tretinoin cream can do the trick. But still, if I have the money, I'd still do the dermatologist. Like I said, it's worth it.

Election

Everybody's going to be busy this year because of the up coming election this May. Like my BIL's family are friends with a local candidate and as early as now, they are busy promoting and campaigning. So many plans like going places to meet the people, doing speeches to local events and distributing posters, brochures, shirts, promotional pens and many more. I asked BIL if our band can squeeze in on some of their events, so we can promote also our songs. It's a big project for them and hopefully they can include us.

Stress free

I believe we all need some time to relax and unwind from the all the stress from work, personal issue and many more. I do know some collects toys, stamps, gold coins, antiques etc. Some like to go places here and abroad. And for me, music is my passion and soul. It helps me relieve all the stress from work and family, keeps me alive and going, and simple be myself. I hope to travel more this year too. How about you, what's your stress-reliever?

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
