I have always seen this on TV on fitness shows but it never got my attention nor I didn’t become curious on its uses and benefits. All I know, it’s an exercise ball until late last month when I read a HS friend’s blog post about her friend looking for a stability ball chair. I become curious so I asked Mr. Google what are the benefits in using Stability Ball instead of my executive chair and here’s what I got: Read more… »
It’s Monday again. Where did the weekend go? I still want to sleep in though and I am so tempted to lie on the bed and spend the next few hours bumming around. I am not yet satisfied with sleeping in but I need to be up and running to start the week right. I’ve got more than a handful of pending online tasks that I need to do before I officially start another work week. That’s the dilemma of having a full-time job and at the same time maintaining a handful of blogs. But I am not complaining. I love it when opportunities pour in. Blessings are always welcome no matter how big or small it is so I am grabbing every opportunity to earn extra income for our wants.LOL.
Anyway, our weekend is kinda quiet. We went to the mall on Saturday for window and grocery shopping. Sunday was spent bumming around and off to SM in the afternoon. We haven’t been to SM for two weekends already and I wanna check on the Agri-Trade Fair for the Araw ng Dabaw. Obviously, I want a couple of plants to add in my collection but there’s not much display so far. They are just starting to set-up their displays so maybe we could go back there next weekend.
We suddenly feel the urge to have a baby soon. I don’t know why but we feel we’re ready for it. I’ve already mentioned to Ace that we could adopt for there are a lot of babies being left at the DSWD’s care. We could adopt a baby from there but at some point we were hesitant. I have issues on how the baby was treated when he/she was still in the mother’s womb, and the issue of the biological parents’ background and blood line. Though nature (heredity) has something to do with the child’s personality, I still believe nurture (environment) will play a BIG role in developing the child’s personality.
One weekend that we were at SM, we saw an adoption help desk. Is it a sign that we need to adopt and take care of a parentless and homeless child? We were about to approach the help desk but we became hesitant. Hmmm….maybe we need more brainstorming and ample time to decide for adopting a child is no easy job. Ace’ concern about adoption made me laugh. He is amenable with it but his only concern is the baby will probably not look like any of us or won’t get any physical features from us.LOL.
Anyway, we’re trying to have a baby this time, and we will until we successfully succeed on our goal. I really hope and pray He will answer this special prayer soon or a born baby will come our way for adoption. Whichever way, we would gladly accept. But nothing could really compare the joy of having our own child…soon.
Here’s one of the photos that I took and framed. It was a fiery sunset one afternoon of August in 2008. The sky seemed to be on fire that time that I am so glad I am out in the open to shoot sunset. It was worth the wait!
More Ruby Tuesday entries here.
I am excited to use my bag and as I promised to myself to go on fashion walk once my bag arrives, Ace and I went to the mall after his work last Saturday. It’s a different feeling wearing your “pricey” (at least for me) bag as Ace was too protective that I should not bump into anything or the bag will be scratched. Gosh! It’s crazy. He’s so concerned over my Satchy.
People are looking at me and my bag. I thought I am just paranoid but Ace noticed it too. He was even the one who noticed people taking a second look at my bag. What are those people looking at or thinking? Maybe it’s their first time to see a Coach Satchel and they must be wondering why they haven’t seen that design in the Chinese stores.LOL. Or, my bag is really beautiful that it makes people take a second look at my bag.
We’re sick. Ace has fever and I am not feeling well. But that won’t stop me from working. Oh, I wish I could just rest day in and day out but I need to be up and running. I have deadlines to meet and I’m running out of time. So I need to keep going despite of health issues.
I just hope Ace will be fine before Saturday because we have to attend a friend’s wedding. We have prepared for this day so we MUST be there. The wedding will be our HS class’ reunion of some sort so this must be fun and I am too excited to see friends whom I haven’t seen in ages. Besides, I want to see my friend walk down the aisle and exchange vows with her knight in shining armour. Oh I hope we’ll be feeling okay come Saturday.
I mentioned about the 12×18 prints that I ordered from ArtsCow here. All the 6 prints are now framed! Yay! But only those in landscape orientation are now temporarily hanging by our wall. We still need to rearrange the frames.
Anyway, here’s one of the framed photos that I took more than a year ago. The photo was taken at Sta. Ana Wharf, Davao City during a sunrise shoot on September 13, 2008 with some of my basic photography classmates and Fanatic Photographers Society members. It was indeed a great shoot because Mr. Sun showed up!
Happy Monday ya’all! Have a great week ahead!
The long wait is over! My ever dearest Coach Heritage Stripe Zip Satchel is here! It arrived last Friday, just in time for the wedding that I’ll be attending next week. As soon as the neighbor’s nanny handed me the box, it was opened in no time and I kept on clicking the shutter of our 400D. I love the bag so much and it looks more beautiful in person than in photos!*lol*.
Anyway, without much further ado, here’s my Satchy (that’s what I name my bag)….
MATERIAL: WATER/STAIN RESISTANT COACH LAMINATED LEATHER
COLOR: MAHOGANY/KHAKI (BROWN)
Did I say I love the bag so much? Yes, very very much! This is my first ever signature bag and the most expensive I got so far. I told myself this will be the first and last but I don’t think I could live by that. I’m actually itching to have another one!*lol*
For weeks I can’t sleep unless the clock strikes 4AM. Insomnia? Exactly! Though I only work until 2AM, I can’t sleep immediately after I hit the bed. That goes on for days until I find this alarming. I want to sleep as soon as I’m off from work so I’ll have more energy in the morning! Then I found myself googling for a home remedy for insomnia. I’ve read so many tips and home remedies but two things caught my attention. Camomile tea and lavender oil. I know it’s hard to find lavender oil in this side of the planet so I’m left with no choice but to try Camomile Tea thus it was included in my grocery list the following day. Glad I found one in SM Supermarket. A pack of 25 costs around PhP225, not bad huh. So in the evening, I steeped one teabag and as soon as I hit the bed, I doze off in no time! When I woke up, I feel well-rested, so refreshed and relaxed! That was amazing! I have never felt well-rested for so long even if I had 8 hours of sleep. This time, with just around 6 hours, I felt like I have slept for 8 to 10 hours!
Aside from a home remedy for Insomnia, here are possible benefits of chamomile:
For me, it works for my insomnia and back pain. Try it too!
What was your best day of the week last week and why? It’s Sunday. I and Ace had a really great time.
What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep? 24 hours
Is how old you look and/or how old you feel right now different from your actual age? I think I look younger than my age when I see others younger than me look more mature.
