No please

I have sore eyes! Yup! The doctor advised me to go home and rest for 5 days starting today. It was unexpected because I felt that I did not need to rest because I feel fine. Anyway, I just bought the eye drop that I need to apply every 2 hours for the redness to subside. That reminds me, maybe I should stop applying my anti wrinkle eye cream for a few days. I'll just wait for this to go away just to sure. But what I'm most worried about is that Lanna might have sore eyes too. No please not her.

No breakouts

Acne has been my mortal enemy ever since high school. It always trigger every mont until I get zits in my chest and back area and I don't know why. Maybe it's hereditary? Because I heard my dad used to some when he was a teenager. Anyway, my mom would send me to the dermatologist and I refused to go because it was painful. Good thing, I don't get major breakouts anymore. Just one or two every month because of my period days. And I also use body acne wash to eliminate breakouts on my chest and back. I wish they have this body wash when I was a teenager. Oh well...

No side effects

When I was a kid, I sneaked one pack of growth balls from my mom's medicines cabinet. Because I was afraid I was not taller than the other girls in school, but I was wrong. I did grew a couple of inches and I was a little taller compared to the tallest person in class, but I was loving it. Being the tallest person in class means your in control. But it is not until recently that I've known that there's a human growth hormone side effects. I hope I didn't get any side effects when I was taking them. But I think not, because that was a long time ago.

Smile

When do we officially get wrinkles? At the age of 40's or 50's maybe? Does it depends on one's lifestyle? Some women don't get wrinkles at all and to think they are at their mid 40's already. Maybe because they are using creams like wrinkle eye creams etc? hmm maybe. I hope I don't get wrinkles anytime soon because I'm only in my early 30's. Something tells me I need to smile a lot. I heard that it's the best any-wrinkle cure of all time. SMILE! =)

Family trip

We're planning again a family trip this coming November. Yes! We might go to Davao again, last week of November. My dad wants to book a flight as early as now but I was hesitant because some of my bandmates wants to join us but still they are unsure if they can file leave during that time and also, they need to check their budgets. The hubby wants to go with me so that means the kiddo will tag along too. Sounds like we're going to the beach! That means I need to get the best fat burner because it's bathing suit time and I need to look in the pictures hahaha! Let's see! But first I need to check our budget if it's possible for us go to on that trip.

WORD of the day

noctivagant \noc-tiv-A-gant\, adjective:

Pertaining to going about in the night; night-wandering.
My mother whelped me in a mess of blankets while my noctivagant father towed in the big ships. His was the night vessel, the vessel on oily waters, his was the light shining in the darkness, come home, come home.

Happy Birthday!

Felicidades +Mamang!

Early to sleep, early to rise!

I remembered last month, I was in the verge of taking sleeping pills because it was hard to sleep during the day. One of the major reasons was attending to my daughter's needs. I would bath and play with her before I sleep but sometimes it was late and sometimes I would only get 2-3hours of sleep and I would go on-shift during the night. Good thing I'm assigned on morning shift now, but my problem now is waking up so damn early in the morning hahaha! I guess early to sleep, early to rise right.

Discount apidexin

Loosing weight can also cost a lot. Especially if your going to try a new product, like what happened to me. I tried taking diet pills from Malaysia. They said it's effective but the side effects is bad. I'm always diahydrated to the point that I can't bear not to drink water. Then I stopped taking it because I get heart burns and palpitations. So I tried the slimming tea. It works for me but only if I eat a lot. It cleans the stomach thoroughly but I cannot loose bowel especially when I'm travelling. Then I discovered another diet pills. According to reviews, I'm suppose to loose 10-20 pounds in a couple of weeks. I hope it's true. I wish there's discount apidexin coupons online so I can at least get a discount upon purchasing.

Invest on dress

I'm always staring at my wardrobe everytime there's a gig coming up. I don't want to end up wearing old ones because I want to look on pictures. Aimz and I prefer skirts and dresses, but on our last gig, we wore jeans and converse shoes. Maybe because of the venue, but I though we should invest more on casual dresses since it's gonna be our trade mark when we get up on stage. And it's not only for the gigs, we can also wear it on the office. It's time to gear up and visit our local ukay-ukay? hahahaha!

Costumes for Halloween

One thing me and the little kiddo enjoys is Halloween. Every year, we participate on trick or treat-ing in one of the local malls here and sometimes we attend a Halloween activity in my work place. And what I like about it is shopping for our halloween costumes. Yeah, sometimes I wear a witch hat because it's fun. Being around kids and all, even for just one day hahaha. The kiddo still has her cinderella costume from her birthday last year and I'm not sure if it'll still fit hahaha! She said, she wants to be Snow White this time but let's see.

Job hunt

My friend's sister used to work as a Domestic helper in HK. We had the chance to visit her there last year. And I found out that her contract from her employer ended last July and she never renewed. She plans to work here now and she's been job hunting for the past few months. I was able to chat with her last week and she wants to sales jobs for a change or maybe land a job in a call center like us. I gave her some information on where to go and I hope it will her find a new career here.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my PAPSIE!

--BER month

It's the first day of the --BER month so that means the year is about to end again. And I don't know why I'm pissed off especially when I hear Christmas songs playing outside, like in the mall or in the train station. Well, maybe because time flies so fast that I feel I haven't even started on my plan for this year. But I don't want to concentrate on that now. Good thing my sister plans to avail a slot in the up-coming bazaar this December. I think she already bought wholesale items there in Dubai and I'm coordinating with my MIL in the States to get some branded clothes on sale. I hope this will keep my mind shut from all the stress of Christmas season.
