Excited

I'm excited and looking forward to February! I have a lot of things to do in the coming days especially with finalizing "tornado's" baptism. I also have to finish all the things I have to buy for family and friends back home. I did some online shopping earlier--thank God for Amazon. No tax and free shipping. I still have to get the weight loss pills that my cousin wants me to get her. She has read many good reviews plus it's not that expensive. She has tried different kinds of weight loss pills already sadly none of those have worked for her so hopefully this will. I have an long busy day ahead of me again tomorrow. I'm not complaining though. The days go by sooo much faster when I'm super busy.

Korean BBQ

I was craving for korean food and since T is a good husband, he gave in to my craving and brought me to a korean bbq restaurant for dinner. We had so much fun cooking and then eating. T told me I should look into natural supplements for weight loss. It's funny how we always talk about losing weight and yet we end up eating so much especially during the weekends. It's just a good think we both try to eat less during the week. We just love discovering new restaurants and that is why we always end up eating out during the weekends.

Help!

I seriously need weight loss pills that work! It's been 3 months since I gave birth and I still have to lose 15lbs. I still can't wear my pre-pregnancy clothes. With a vacation coming really soon, I need to lose weight soon since vacations also mean weight gain. lol. I've been cutting down on carbs but I'm having a hard time on not eating sweets. I love chocolates. Add junk foods to that. I've been trying to exercise. Not easy but little steps and I know I will get to my desired weight.

Online Jobs

I have not worked in a formal office setting in a very long time. The last I think was in 2007, right before I took the local nursing board exam. After I took the boards, I started working from home for an Australia based company. I did that for 2 years and for over a year I've just been staying at home and earning a little through blogging. I've been looking for work online and even without formal accounting experience, I've been offered accounting jobs. I had to turn down offers though as I can't really go back to "work" since I have to care for "tornado". Doing that alone is a full-time job! I hope that one day soon, I can go back full-time to working. But for now, I'm surely enjoying taking care of my family.

I want to be a...

millionaire, yes! a wrestler, no. But I would have admit I love watching WWE. T can't understand on why I like it and says that it's all fake. I know that it is fake but I still enjoy watching it. I get to watch less of it now though.

Uhm, back to being a millionaire. I was watching Selling New York on TV last night. and huge condominiums selling for millions! I told T that if we were rich, I would surely buy one. I have not been to New York but that city is on my list of places to go to. Maybe when Elijah's bigger we can go.

2nd Year Anniversary

We didn't really plan anything for our second year wedding anniversary. We just came back from a mini-vacation over the Christmas break so that sort of was our early anniversary celebration. We didn't really get any gifts from other people this year for our anniversary. I remember getting clocks first anniversary gifts last year. It was nice and quiet for us this year.

Random Stuff

-It has been cold (for me at least) for me but I know I should still be thankful as we don't get to experience blizzards like the other parts of the country.

-The shooting that happened in Arizona is really sad. Totally senseless killing. I'm just glad that the government is taking steps into making sure that their are stricter laws with regards to buying guns and even with blackhawk holsters.

-My heart goes out also to those affected by the flooding in Australia. Watching it on TV kinda reminded me of Ondoy in the Philippines. to

-With all this happening around the world, it makes me not want to watch news.

Post Christmas Shopping

Loving the after Christmas sale. I thought shopping would end with the end of the season but I was wrong. A lot of the stores are still on sale! Love.it. I was able to buy 2 cousins digital cameras and other gifts for family and friends back home. We have already filled 2 boxes to be sent home but it seems like we need to get another box as we still have more items here at home. I won't even be surprised if the husband bans me from going to the malls soon. lol.

Chowking

I have been seriously craving for taho for the longest time so it was a pleasant surprise for me upon learning that the Chowking we have here sells taho. It was a gloomy and cold Monday afternoon when T and I with tornado went out to pick up the policy for my Uncle's NC health insurance and then headed to Chowking branch in Cerritos for some taho. I also had arroz caldo with tofu. It was perfect to eat with the cold weather. I really enjoyed my taho and it tasted as how I imagined it to. yum!

Multi-tasking

Last day of the working week of the first week of the year. The week went by so fast, but I'm not complaining. It has been a good week for us. T went back to work Tuesday meaning we had an extra day of vacation. That was just perfect because I had someone to look after tornado while I finished on my chores and also finish on the personalized note cards to be sent out to family and friends. This has been long overdue! Been trying to squeeze this in our busy schedule. I 've already mastered the art of multi-tasking over the past few weeks and I have to say I'm getting better at it.

2011

My very first post for the new year. I would've wanted to post on the first day of the year but I've been pretty busy for the past few days. Especially since I had to help an uncle look for a Maritime Lawyer. The start of the year has been good. That only means the whole year is going to be great. Positive thoughts to start the year. I'm looking forward to what 2011 has in store for my family. 2010 has been really good and we got a really great gift, Tornado. It was life changing having him but it has been a good change. I hope all of you had a wonderful New Year and cheers to a great 2011!

Last Minute

Next week I badly need to do last minute shopping. And the weather is not cooperating as we are expecting more rain next week. Ugh! I should have taken advantage of the Black Friday and finished off our Christmas list. Now I have to finish everything next week. The only problem is everytime I am out to buy gifts I also find something to buy for myself, T or for tornado, lol. I know I can finish our Christmas list. I can! I can!

7 more days and it's Christmas!

House Renovation

The project to renovate the house is never ending. After finishing the renovations inside, it's now the outside that we are working on. In the past 2 weeks, we had a new garage door installed and the outside of the house has been painted. Right now, someone is working on putting up a new fence and cementing our side yard. The one working on putting up our backyard fence is a guy we saw working on our neighbors house. They just finished doing some steel building and are now taking on smaller projects. This weeks forecast is it's going to be raining but I hope it's not going to be that bad for them to finish the project by the end of the week.

Weekend

It's going to be one busy weekend for us. I guess all weekends leading to Christmas is going to be busy. I hope I can squeeze in some time to go online to look for term life insurance as T had asked me to do this early this week but I have never had the time to do so. I'm looking forward to seeing my relatives as they are all leaving next week for the Philippines. I'm still feeling sad that we are not able to go home. I know I will be missing out on a lot of fun. Happy weekend everyone.

15 days

Exactly 15 days before Christmas and we still have tons to do. T bought a tree already the other day and last night placed the lights. we need to still put on the ornaments we bought. The house smells like pine which I really like. We need to still finish our Christmas shopping. I made a bit of a progress yesterday and bought a few gifts. I'm thinking of giving my BIL pull up bars since he is trying to get fit, but I'm not so sure on this. I have yet to buy a present for my little boy. I'm thinking a cute Christmas outfit. He has a lot of clothes but I have to get him a nice one to wear on Christmas. Oh, I think I want new clothes too. My pre-pregnancy clothes still don't fit me and my pregnancy clothes are big so I'm really left without clothes to wear. We sure are going to be busy in the coming days.

Christmas List

We have not started with our Christmas shopping. I have a feeling we will be doing this a day before Christmas,lol. At least I have made a list already of who we need to buy gifts for and what we could buy for them. We gave the guys on our list nice pens last year and I'm thinking of giving them ties this year. The kids would probably get either toys or books. The women are getting scarves. And the list goes on and on.

Oreo White Fudge

My new addiction. Sooo good but I know it's so bad too in terms of calories but I can't help it. We have even stocked up on it since we know it won't be available for long. Now I'm thinking I might need the 7 day slimming pill considering I have not even lost all the weight I've gained during my pregnancy. I can't stop myself from eating this though.

Poor baby

Thank God the little one is finally taking a nap. We went to see his pedia this morning and they gave him his vaccination. They told me to expect him to have fever and be fuzzy. So far, no fever but he has been a little fuzzy. It has been 3 hours since we got home from the doctor and I've been trying to finish reading an article about human growth hormone side effects since we got home and only finished 5 minutes ago. That's how fuzzy he's been. Hopefully he'll be fine tonight and that I get some sleep. Other than that, he is on track with his development. yey!

Dermatologist Needed

I think I really need to go visit a dermatologist soon. Other than my acne woes, I need to get blackhead treatment. I feel that my face has gotten really dirty. The last time I went to get facial was a few weeks before I living the Philippines and that is 11 months ago. I was looking forward to getting a facial when we go home but with the change of plans and having to celebrate Christmas here in the US my planned dermatologist visit is put on hold.

Black Friday

I'm so excited for next week as it is only a 3 day work week for T and of course because it's thanksgiving. Another thing to look forward too is of course black friday sale. It's time to start with Christmas shopping. I've been reading a lot of possible good deals for that weekend and my cousin has sent me a link online so I could buy her what they say is the tried and tested best acne products being sold right now. I do hope I get good deals.
