A lot to tell.

I’ve been really busy these past few days and I’ve got a lot of stories to tell. But I’ll be doing this slowly, I still need to organize my thoughts. Anyway, yesterday I was able to chat with my sister. It’s been awhile since we last talked. i even missed chatting with on her birthday. They’re busy as usual. Right now she’s looking for health plans for her and her family. She’s reading more on Blue Advantage and liking it so far. My oldest nephew is looking for colleges to apply and is studying very hard. The two kids are happy as always, although, the little has a cast on her left arm. She fell of a chair while playing with her cousins. We weren’t able to chat long though because I was finishing the layout for an invitation. Sigh. I miss them all so much!

Anyways, I’m off in a few to meet with some fellow PHTS. I’ll be back with more stories to tell.

Dropping Sizes

A friend of mine said she dropped from size 18 to size 12. Wow! That is a big improvement! And she didn’t even any of the best weight loss pills available in the market. It was all jogging and proper diet. I am so happy for her and so proud of her! Wish I could say the same for me. I stopped jogging again when Bailey got sick and then things became so busy. I hope I’ll be back on track soon. I really want to be a little lighter when we go bungee jumping in April, which I hope will push through.

My Dad, Bailey & Me

My mom left for the US last night. She’ll be gone for about 6 months. So, now it’s just me, my dad, Bailey and the maid at home and I am the head of the household. LOL!

When my mom arrives there, first thing they’ll do is have a trip and check out the Outer banks foreclosures. I think is planning to buy a new home or a second one, I’m not so sure.I’m also not sure if she’s going to visit my dad’s siblings in LA.

I’m going to miss her terribly and I hope that our house won’t be a riot when she comes back. At least the kids and my sister will be able to see her and spend time with her. I guess, this is how our lives are going to be now. My mom flying back and forth the Phil and US just to spend time with her daughters and grandchildren. It’s a little sad isn’t it?

Craving

I’m craving for something with ginger right now! Argh! Hmm… maybe I should make a ginger tea. Or maybe tinolang manok but I don’t eat the chicken in tinola, only the veggies. Haha! Or maybe stir-fried veggies with ginger. What else? Any suggestions? By the way, did you know that ginger has an antioxidant that is a natural arthritis relief? Nice isn’t it? Anyway, right now I’m thinking of soy sauce dip with crushed ginger. Anyone care for Japanese food? Maybe I’m craving because I ate Gyudon last night. It was a really good one. I can still taste it… yum! And I also ate Takoyaki balls… another good one. I’m getting hungry again…

Messed Up Sleeping Pattern

My sleeping pattern is all messed up… again! I got used to sleeping early when I was in Mindoro and Batangas. And I mean early… like 8 in the evening. And now I’m back to sleeping around 4am… without any slow transition. Haist! And it’s starting to give me migraines. It’s okay if I get enough sleep, and enough for me is at least 10 hours. Haha! But I have to wake up early to take care of my dear Bailey. He has to take his calcium supplement at 8 in the morning everyday. I can feel I’ll be needing the best eye cream for dark circles soon. Hopefully not but I’d better be prepared. And I also hope the circles won’t be too dark and there won’t be big eyebags. Sigh.

Trip to the Dermatologist

My mom and I went to our dermatologist yesterday. It’s been awhile since I last been there that the people in the clinic rejoices when I go there. Haha! Seriously!

I had a facial cleaning to remove my blackheads and white heads. By the way, click here to learn more about blackhead removal. After the cleaning, I had a diamond peel session.I should have asked for the real peeling session to remove the marks and dark spots on my face but I forgot to ask. Haha! Anyway, diamond peel is much better as it is not that abrasive.

And I’m so dark again… my skin I mean. Hopefully, my skin will return to it’s normal color again soon. I had a tan when I went to Batangas and Mindoro and I didn’t even swim. Sigh.

Accomplished

I accomplished a lot today. Yay for me! My mom’s leaving for the US later today so we were kinda busy the past few days preparing for that. Today, I went to first, DigiPrint and LBC. I had my films developed and scanned. These were from my Mindoro and Batangas trips and from the Bebots EB, which reminds me, I still have to make a blog post about all these. I also sent a soft copy of the photos to Diane. After that, my dad and I went to Quiapo to meet my mom (she went to Tutuban first before going to Quiapo). I had my client’s photobook printed then my mom and I bought pouches for my nephew’s birthday loot bags. We also bought small wooden rosaries for my BIL’s nephew’s Christening. Then we headed home after that and my cousin fetched me and my mom and dropped us of in Navotas to the dermatologist. And then after that we went to Trinoma and met up with my dad again. My mom and I did some grocery shopping. She actually taught me which things to buy since I’ll be in charge of the household for 6 months. Sigh.

That’s a lot, right? To me, it is. I was even able to help my cousin look for more information about colonoxy for her research. But I still have loads to do. And tomorrow later I will still have to look for some stuff that my sister wants my mom to bring… some clothes, toys, etc. Sigh. I need more hours in a day… who doesn’t?

Hopelessly Addicted

Guess to whom?

Nope not HIM. Haha! Who else but Kim Hyun Joong (김현중), of course.

I really love this song and I thought I’d be singing this to a friend. (You’ll never guess who.) But after thinking about it over and over and over and over for about a week and letting my secret spill to a couple of friends, I realized I was mistaken. Haha! I was just missing this friend badly. (No not HIM! LOL!) Anyways, to those who are waiting for the next “meet-up” well it’s postponed again. I can’t tell you why… not here.

Anyways, here’s Hopelessly Addicted by The Corrs. Hope you’ll like this one.

HOPELESSLY ADDICTED
The Corrs

Opened my eyes today
And I knew there’s something different
Saw you in a brand new way
Like the clouds had somehow lifted
And if yesterday I heard myself saying these words
I would swear it was a lie

I don’t know why but suddenly I’m falling
Was I so blind?
I was loving you all the time
Now, I’m hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted

I’ll make a wish this day and I’ll send it to the heavens
That we will always stay entwined like this forever
And though the world may change
Coz nothing stays the same
I know we will survive

I don’t know why but suddenly I’m falling
Was I so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now, I’m hopelessly addicted
Naturally we acted

I don’t know why but suddenly I’m falling
I was so blind
I was loving you all the time
And now I’m hopelessly addicted
Helplessly addicted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted
I was loving you all the time
Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted

Weird Feeling

I’m feeling weird. I already had enough sleep but I still feel a little tired. Yesterday was the twitter bebots EB with Trin and Glo. It was really fun… meeting old friends, meeting new friends, and seeing a few online friends for the first time in person. It was pretty tiring but really worth it. And I lost a few pounds despite all the food we ate. It was like my new diet pill. Haha!

But I still feel weird. Maybe because I feel stressed cause my Bailey can’t step his left hind leg again. Sigh. Whenever I leave him for a couple of days something bad happens to him. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. My poor baby. Now I don’t want to leave the house anymore. And I also feel stressed because of all the things I still have to do. Just thinking about it makes me feel tired already but I have to, so, I’d better get started.

So Behind

I’m so behind my scrapping and CT obligations. I promise I’ll make it up next week when I get back.

This week has been really hectic for me. My aunt and uncle arrived from the US and they’re staying in our house. And then My other uncle also came back last weekend. I had to accompany him to the mall to look for stainless steel backsplash for their house. And then a couple of days ago I met up with some of my online friends and then my puppy got sick again. Sigh. My poor baby.

I’m now packing my things for my trip this weekend and still to blog a little more before I leave. I really need this vacation! Hopefully, next week will be much better. Anyways, in a few more I’ll be off. I’ll be back next week.
