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

dental care

I've been trying to catch an appointment with the pedia dentist from the nearby mall here but every time the pedia doctor is available, we are not. The last time we visited the dentist was few months back and we plan to go back because the little kiddo's teeth needs more work. We plan to remove the two front teeth and pasta-repair two more on the right side and that's it. I hope I can catch an appointment soon. I wonder if the other dental clinics are available, like for some who are famous because of their expertise like the Orange NJ dental implants.

Since we don't have any commitments after, Joey and I joined AC in Trinoma and accompanied her while she waited for her sister to arrived. We ate at Bigoli. Yup! Pizza and pasta - my fave. It's obvious that we all haven't slept yet. Look at our eyebugs - sooo big.

~ eat out. ~

Health talk

Our family's health is the priority here in the house so when in comes to food we cook, it should all be clean, fresh and healthy. We buy our meat every week so we don't stock them in the fridge and the vegetables should be fresh. Ever since the typhoon Ondoy, it's scary to drink tap water now. So we started buying our drinking water. I know it'll add up to our expenses to the hubby thought of getting the furnace filters so we can install directly and get water from there. We still haven't decided yet, so for now we'll buy our water.

The box

Every Christmas, the MIL always sends a box of goodies. Ans she said, the box will arrive some time this week. The little kiddo and I are both excited. She's expecting new toys, clothes and of course, chocolates. But what I love to get are the little things like moisturizers, lotions, lipsticks, wrinkle cream and many more. Like I said, the box might arrive this week, good thing I'm on leave this weekend. Can't wait.

exercise

I've been trying my very hard to slim down these days. But with so many occasions to attend, can't help but eat more than I should. That's why I still need a fat burner to help loose some more weight. I eat less when I need to and spend time doing my everyday exercise. I know exercise is still the best that's why I always make sure to give it at least 15 to 20 minutes everyday, for that I feel great.

Christmas gifts

Me and my sisters talked about that we would not buy presents for each other this year. Everybody agreed because we need to save more money for our Singapore trip next year. All of us will go to Singapore to meet our to other sisters there. I know it's sounds exciting because we haven't been to a trip abroad in a long time. But the hubby is considering a xbox 360 this year because the little kiddo's room is finish. Now we'll have more room to play.

WORD of the day

bevy/BEV-ee/; noun
: A large group or collection

Example Sentence: Bad weather in the Midwestern part of the United States triggered a whole bevy of tickets for MIS, and workforce operators went home the next day with hoarse voices from shouting “Queue! Queue!” all night long.

Did You Know?

What do you call a group of crows? Or swine? Or leopards? Well-educated members of the medieval gentry seem to have been expected to know the answers: a murder of crows, a sounder of swine, and a leap of leopards. They would also have been expected to know that "bevy" referred specifically to a group of deer, quail, larks, or young ladies.

Scholars aren't certain why "bevy" was chosen for those groups (though they have theories). What is known for sure is that "bevy" first appeared in the 15th century and was used as a highly specific collective for many years. Today, however, bevies can include anything from football players to toaster ovens.

Bazaar

We finished setting up the booth the other day and the world bazaar festival is now open. We're all excited about it because we got new and imported merchandise to sell. I can't wait to go there and check out other booths as well. Maybe I could do some shopping as well. But I don't want to over do it because I need to save more for next year. I guess we need merchant services for the booth just in case some customer carry credit cards with them.

WORD of the day

Plausible/PLAW-zuh-bul/; adjective
: Appearing worthy of belief

Example sentence: Her reasons for missing work were plausible at first, but soon became ridiculous.

Did you know?

Today the word "plausible" usually means "reasonable" or "believable," but it once held the meanings "worthy of being applauded" and "approving." It comes to us from the Latin adjective "plausibilis" ("worthy of applause"), which in turn derives from the verb "plaudere," meaning "to applaud or clap."
