Crossroads

I feel like I’m in a point in my life that I’m standing on crossroads. For so many years I have always been sure that I’ll grow old with the company that I’m with right now. But after 11 years, the once sturdy grounds that we are stepping on have become shaky all of a sudden. Maybe, it’s now time to leave our comfort zone and start scouting for new jobs how painful it maybe. Isn’t it that life has to go on no matter what?

The Best Therapy

I love to shop. I won’t elaborate too much on that anymore since you are all aware of that already. It doesn’t matter if it is a face-to-face shopping or just the virtual one. All I know is that if there’s one thing that I love almost like writing, it’s shopping. It’s my breath of fresh air. Every time I feel down in the dumps and my spirits are really low, only shopping can cure the lonesomeness than I am feeling. And now that I’m feeling quite depressed again, I will make us of the sears coupons that my sister-in-law gave me. I’m sure that this gloomy world that I’m living in right now will be all bright and sunny once I purchase anything that would make my heart smile. Nothing beats the best therapy for me, retail therapy.

Lost Confidence

Just this afternoon we were discussing about how the unpredictable hormones can damage you. One of our supervisors said that she gained a lot of weight due to hormonal imbalance. She even showed us pictures of her when she was still slim and sexy. She’s pretty much depressed that she’s having a hard time losing weight because of this. But I was won over by my team mate’s dilemma. She used to have fair, white, rosy and flawless skin that is the envy of many. And now she’s even embarrassed to be seen in public because of the humongous acne that grew all over her face. She’s got some on her nape and back too. She has developed inferiority complex because of it. She is now using a acne face lotion and hopes and prays that it will work for her. I really hope so too. Because I’d like her to regain the confidence she has lost to acne.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

Every after my phototherapy session, my skin gets so dry and scaly and not to mention awfully itchy! I’m even tempted sometimes to graze it with a sharp object so I would just stop scratching all together. But what really ticks me is that my facial skin looks all dried up and peels too like you do when you get a really bad sunburn. That’s why I always have face moisturizers with me wherever I go. And now if there is one thing that I can’t live without, it is to moisturize.

Beyond Price

My Sophia has already entered the terrible two stage on July 10 and terrible she really is. I’m a working Mom but whenever it’s my restday I make it appoint that I’m hands-on to my one and only beloved child. Ithe bright side is that I get to practice my vocal chords by saying NO in different notes and my leg muscles by running around the house so much in chasing her when she refuses to take a bath or change her soiled diapers. My little girl can be a handful but surprisingly I get to learn more from her not just in being a Mom but in being the best person that I could be. My crinkles in the face can be fixed by the best and most expensive wrinkle cream but the lessons learned in Motherhood is simply priceless.

Move It

My good friend and colleague Caren is being bothered by her bowel movement dilemma. She already ate high fiber fruits and vegetables, took fiber supplements and even tried herbal concoctions but nothing seemed to solve her constipation problem. I get constipated too at times especially that I’m not really a big water drinker that’s why I can totally relate to her. I advised her to drink at least 8 to 12 glasses of water and if it still doesn’t work, she might try glucomannan already.

Never Give Up

I have a friend who loves to start a diet but never gets to finish any of what she has started. She would seem like she’s really determined to lose weight at first even going to great lengths like going to the gym 6 times a week and starves herself to death but somewhere along the way, she would just stop and begin binge eating again. She is obese and I’m really worried about her health. I don’t know if it’s the hunger pangs that drive her mad and just forget all about her diet plan or she just lacks the right amount of motivation. I told her to try out over the counter appetite suppressants but make sure to read and research about it first because there are dangerous drugs out there like what I have read about phentermine side effects. I know that it’s quite confusing to just choose since there are so many but I’m sure that she’ll find one that would best work for her. She just needs to keep on trying.

Tempted

Just came from the wake of my friend’s father. He had the Big C but he died of Diabetes. My friend told me that her dad got so stubborn and when he felt a little better he ate to his heart’s content. I thought of myself after hearing my friend’s story. I’m like that also when it comes to my health. I tend to do all the things that the doctor told me not to do. I should learn from that that’s why even if I was so tempted to eat what’s not permissible, I stood my ground, closed my eyes and just said NO! Besides, I’m on a diet and to my happiness; it is working very well for me. So if I’ll choose to be foolhardy at this time, I’ll be forced to order another Diet pills on line in no time. So it really pays to stay firm in your convictions.

Beginner’s Luck

I took some photographs using my cousin’s DSLR and I was quite satisfied with my shots. It was my first attempt to use the thing that’s why I felt quite unsure of myself. I was so dumbfounded when I saw the pictures that I took that I decided to have it printed right away. But then, I just realized that we ran out of 108R00723 and I won’t be able to show my work until tomorrow. Oh, well so much for excitement. Hubby is even teasing me that it’s just beginner’s luck. I’m somehow challenged to prove him wrong.

Fitflop Crazy!

I know that you know already that I am a shopaholic and if there’s anything new that’s out in the market that has gotten my fancy; I won’t stop until I get it. Well, I have my limits too of course. I don’t buy a bag that is more than 5k, 1k is enough for a piece of clothing and 2.5k is a lot already for a pair of footwear or so I thought. You can check my shoe rack and you will not find a single pair of shoes that is exorbitantly priced. My most expensive is around 2.3k only and that’s a low-cut stenciled Ed Hardy Geisha thus the price but still it’s really not expensive at all. I wasn’t planning to go beyond that price range for footwear, when I saw Fitflop being advertised by one of the Facebookers. I got really interested and started researching about them. And I wasn’t disappointed to learn that Fitflop is not just for fashion purposes, it’s good for your leg, calf and gluteal muscles too. It improves posture and muscle tone as well. And that is all thanks to the Microwobbleboard technology. So to make the long story short I bought one for 6k because it’s the limited edition and exclusively designed by the great Anna Sui for Fitflop. It was just sold in the UK and US so I have to thank online shops that I have one right now. I want to have Electra in Pewter, Rebel in Black, Pietra in Silver, Walkstar 3 in Lipstick and Walkstar Classic in Pink (Limited Spring Edition). I have already ordered my Walkstar 3 Snakeskin, Riata in Amethyst and Limited Edition Mickey Mouse in Bronze. They are all coming at the end of October! Can’t hardly wait for them! I have to saved up starting now so I can pay for them all. So it’s going to be save, save, save for me from now on all for the love of Fitflops!

Here’s my first one Fiorella in Bronze and keep posted to my Limited Mickey Mouse in Bronze, Walkstar III Snakeskin and Riata in Amethyst.
