Meet Me Halfway

Tim — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:40:06 +0000

I bought my husband a 23 inch flat screen monitor to satisfy his gaming addiction. And because of this, I only get to use the computer once in a blue moon. So he thought up of a solution to our budding problem and offered to buy a Linksys router so I can still use my laptop and do my blogging thru Wi-Fi. And it solved everything! I get to use my I-touch as well while he plays enjoyably with his RPG on-line games. Now that’s what meeting halfway is all about.

Soap Opera

I remember watching a particular court drama from one of the popular soaps in the country. The prosecutor was trying to convict the owner of the company who buried sacks and sacks of asbestos years ago in their mining company that caused multiple deaths of the people living nearby the mine. Each of them died of mesothelioma, a type of cancer caused by inhaling asbestos. There was this particular scene when the prosecuting lawyer was cross examining the accused owner of the company that made him admit the crime because of her line of questioning. I thought to myself if it were true, she could have been one of the best Mesothelioma lawyers in the country. I really got carried away. And I found that scene wonderfully weaved by the writers. I felt like I was really inside the court room and witnessing all of it. That’s why when the accused got convicted I even stood up and shouted YES! So moving!

Free Dinner

My cousin rang me one day and was asking for my expert opinion reagrding his new business. He is selling both prepaid cards for mobile and fixed telephone lines. He asked me what I thought is the best way for him to offer these products to the public. So I let my creative juices flow freely and suggested that he should invest in point of purchase displays if he wants his products to sell in the market. In that way it already covers both the display and product packaging. He thought it was an amazing idea! His cards now are selling like hotcakes. I joked that maybe he should treat me for an expensive dinner and he bought it! In a few, he will be fetching me and we will eat in a restaurant that I so long to try out but never had the money to afford it. And now, I’ll be having free dinner! Thank you brain!

Cruising Together

It’s summer time once again! Bring out that skimpy bathing suit and suntan lotions. It’s time for barbecue cook-out as well. Summer only means two things, relaxation and having good clean fun with friends and families. It’s just scorching hot here in Manila and instead of basking in the sun, I would rather go somewhere not just fun but thrilling as well like that of Branson vacation packages. Besides, hubby wanted us to cruise this summer so we might get the one with the dinner cruise for 2. What a romantic way to spend the summer.

Slow Metabolism

I used to not have any difficulty curtailing my cravings. I usually just think about my goal and that is to get thin and I get it. But now that I’m not getting any younger, I guess my not losing weight even if I am dieting has to be blamed to my slow metabolism already. And to top it all, our office life is rather sedentary that’s why we spend almost the entire day seating around. After my pig-out sessions brought about by PMS, I cannot just diet anymore and expect to lose what I have gained during that time, I have to drink weight loss pill pill also in order to achieve my pre pregnancy weight.

Like A Baby

With the result of the biopsy, me having skin cancer, the derma pathologist advised me to refrain from using any scented products that I will use on my skin. She said that my skin lesions might get aggravated and my condition might worsen. So I heeded her advice and just used phisoderm ever since. I only use their soap because I am not really a lotion type of person. It is what my skin trusts and recommended by many dermatologists as well. So if you have a skin that is sensitive like that of a baby’s only use phisoderm and your skin will be protected like never before.

Her Only Wish

Tim — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:26:27 +0000

My poor sister in law lost her second baby again to miscarriage. She is clueless as to what is really happening inside her body and what causes her multiple miscarriages. She followed the doctor’s orders to the letter and she did everything she could just to keep her baby alive but sadly she still lost him. I remember how happy she was when she first told me that she’s pregnant again. I was overjoyed! My sister in law only wants one thing more than anything in this world and that is to become a mother. She’s just so depressed right now that I’ll be advising her to try natural depression treatments just to calm her nerves. I just hope and pray that the next time she does get pregnant that she’d be able to carry it full term and give birth to a healthy, bouncing child.

Pure Happiness

Tim — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:08:47 +0000

My cousin just gave birth to a healthy baby girl she nicknamed Pretzel a couple of months ago. She’s so adorable and I feel honored that my cousin invited me to be one of the godmothers of Pretzel and of course I answered Yes and that I would be extremely delighted to be one. She’s just a picture of pure happiness because of the coming of her second child to their lives. Her only dilemma right now is to lose the unwanted post pregnancy weight. Her friend advised her to take alli diet pill and I still have to see its effects on her when we see each other next month.

Sweat It Out

Tim — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:55:51 +0000

In connection to my previous post about my problem area in my body, I even tried taking weight loss pills just to lose that fat around my belly but it still didn’t work. I have tried everything (except exercise) just to achieve my flat tummy again when I was still a maiden but I guess it takes more than diet and drugs for me to shed off that excess flabs. I really need to sweat it out. That’s why this coming weekend hubby and I decided to jog around the subdivision before the sun completely rises.

Jelly Belly

Tim — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:46:27 +0000

When I gave birth 19 months ago, it wasn’t really hard for me to shed off my post pregnancy fats because of sleepless nights that caused me to lose my appetite and of course taking care of a highly active baby like Sophia will really make you lost weight fast without meaning to. I went back to my pre-pregnancy weight in no time but there is still one thing that I wasn’t able to achieve even with all of that and that is to reduce belly fat. Until now it is still a struggle for me to lose my unsightly jelly belly. I guess exercise is the only thing that could do that for me.
