Say NO

I've been watching the news lately and noticed that people still transact with people who sell drugs. I feel bad on people who use them because they have no future with it and they should know and realize that. Good thing, gov.ph offers a wide range of drug rehab center in the country. We need to let the people know about it especially the teenagers. They have a good future and they need to stay away from drugs.

appetite suppressants

I think I haven't met the goal weight that I wanted. I was on the right track until a week ago, I stopped taking appetite suppressants just because I ran out. Stupid of me, I didn't buy some more. So here I am back to zero and starting over. I wish I could have continued it and didn't waste those seven days because I might be half way from my goal weight by now.

car accesories

I love to buy stuff like car accessories when I still had my car. I usually ask help from my friends but good thing, the hubby who was my boyfriend back then, knows a lot about cars. Sometimes we would switch places when driving to give each other a break. Even though I don't have my car now, I still kept the store information because they have affordable prices. I wonder if they also sell truck accessories there.

Cars

We've been talking about cars lately, like how convenient they are especially when you have kids. Of course, I want a car for us but still it's not practical. We have to double or even triple check the budget before we get one. Sometimes, I envy those celebrities who have luxury cars and kick ass race cars in their garage. I wonder where they shop for Ferrari parts.

WORD of the day

induce/in-doos/; verb
: To bring about, produce, or cause

Example sentences: Jan’s fever was no doubt induced by fatigue; she had been without sleep for almost two days.

Believe it or not, the network failure was induced by wasps building a nest on the smart jack.

Synonyms: effectuate, set off, stir, touch off, trigger.

WORD of the day

chagrin \shuh-GRIN\, noun:
:: Acute vexation, annoyance, or embarrassment, arising from disappointment or failure.

transitive verb:
To unsettle or vex by disappointment or humiliation.

Example sentence (as a noun): Much to our chagrin, the cab driver could not make change for one hundred pesos, and we wound up paying double for what the ride was worth.

Notice that today’s word can be used as a transitive verb as well. Great. But some of you may be wondering: What exactly is a transitive verb?

First of all, it’s an action verb. Second of all, it requires a direct object to complete its meaning in the sentence. The action of the verb is transferred to the object directly.

The cab driver chagrined us.
The subject (the cab driver) applied a direct action (chagrined) to the object of the sentence (us).

oh yeah... it's FRIDAY the 13th today...

Marry Me Amy Updates!

We are still busy with the band's MTV Emerge. And recently we had a little photo shoot at home. Thanks to my sister for lending her CANON EOS 40D. Even though we had no photographer to help us out, the 50mm lens really served it's purpose. Here are some pictures edited by Aimz. More pictures *here*

WORD of the day

cognizant/COG-ni-zent/; adjective

Need band pictures

I've been busy (again as always) work and the band. We just finished the band profile but we still need more group pictures. And speaking of pictures, we need to set a photo shoot probably our next meet up. I might borrow my sister's dslr and use the tripod because she can't make it to the photo shoot for sure because she has work. I still take phentermine diet pills because I need to look thinner. Argh.

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

~ Happy Birthday Sarpotz and Chabby! ~

Slim down

I'm still using slimming pills to this day and I know it's working. I just used my old carpenter pants the other day and I was so very excited. Because the last time I used the pants was before I had a kid and that was 4 years ago. When I have time, I made sure that I'd work out too, although it's tiring at times but I know it's worth it.

WORD of the day

efficacious/ef-fi-KAY-shuhs/; adjective

work out

I've been working out these past few weeks and sometimes it's hard to keep up especially when I have a busy schedule, tired from work and a deadline to meet. When I was in the graveyard shift, I always use the treadmill because I had time spare time in the afternoon. And now on morning shift, I always come home late and tired that I don't use the treadmill anymore. But I still do crunches every morning when I wake up. I saw on the Internet that Kettlebell would be a excellent partner with this exercise. It'll help me tone my body faster.

Marry Me Amy in Davao [day3]

Second day at Paradise Island was a blast. Woke up at exactly 5am to catch the morning sun.

~ Paradise Island beach at 5:30 in the morning. ~

So we did more swimming and more picture taking until cam's battery went dead.

~ More swimming. AC, Ardey and Liz. ~

~ Yeah Singit si joey sa likod hehehehe.~

We went back to Joey's pad after lunch so we can prepare for the open jam that evening. But AC, Wabs and I wanted to go out... and so we did.

~ Quibol residence. ~

So we went mall hopping, San Pedro Church etc. Sometimes I feel I'm going to travel more next year, so maybe it's time for me to check on life insurance policy just to be sure.

~ AC and Liz :: Streets of Davao. ~

We went back late afternoon. Just in time to prepare -- dinner and open jam. Fiesta.

~ Marry Me Amy ~

I was drunk, tired and happy that night. And I slept super late, like I didn't care that we had an early flight the next day. Thanks to Joey's family for the warm accommodation.

Thanks Davao. Next year uli!
