tip to dressing and looking good and feeling great

Even before, i always try to wear the best undies or my favorite undies whenever i have to attend important occasions or special gatherings. It always makes me feel good and comfortable. It boosts some aura of confidence and beauty. Later on, either i read it on a magazine or saw on a fashion-lifestyle tv show that wearing sexy gorgeous undies is one of the tips to look good. It's like there's an inner power that will bring magic and will let you feel good and look good. You know what? I believe that because that's what i have been doing. I don't know if people notice it but i sure do feel good when i wear some nice lingerie whenever i'm out. Even if i'm busy at work, i still try doing it because i feel it helps me look not that exhausted. You should try it! ;)

i halt my diet last weekend

As what some of my friends know, i'm following a diet plan for the past month already. I had to do something with my weight because i'm really not happy with it anymore. I always complain that i'm getting big but i'm doing nothing about it. So, for over a month now, i followed a diet i won't reveal not until i can say it's effective. But i was out of town for the weekend so my idea of diet went into the thin air! I ate my heart out for the past 4 days that i think the little amount of weight i lost is gained back in just a matter of 4 days. It's ok though, i know i still can do better in the next coming days. They say, aside from dieting, i should incorporate some exercises to further losing of weight. Maybe i should do some running or at least go to the gym and use the treadmills so i could sweat. I'm hoping that in the next 2 months, i'll reach my target weight. Wish me luck!

townhouses and real estates

Last weekend, after watching the motocross in Panagdait, a couple of friends and I went to a subdivision not too far from my workplace. We checked the area if there are still vacant slots for sale. One of my officemates is already living there and told us that the subdivision is nice and it's not that costly. Well, the place is quite ok. It's not that far from the church and school. I think the developer also has commercial real estate for sale and for rental. I'm really not planning on getting a house yet as i can't afford it as of this time but it's good to start looking. You'll never know, i might just win in a lottery!

accidents in the streets

No matter how we try our best to be safe all the time, there are just reckless people who do not think of their safety, let alone thinking of other's safety. For the last couple of days, i've seen lots of car accidents especially in reclamation area. And it's not a good sight. You'd know there must have been lives lost and injuries to endure by the passengers nor drivers. While it's really not avoidable and accidents do happen sometimes, it's always good that you'll refer to a truck accident lawyer when it happens. You better get your case assessed by the experts only.

dream living room

On Sunday nights, i try not to miss my favorite local TV show that features the best of houses in the country. They give tips on how to make small spaces appear big. They also give tips on how to decorate and maximize your house. There was one house that they feature that i truly like because it has a superb home theater seating in their living room. I wish i have one but for now, i'll content myself with my wooden chair. It's definitely a dream living room i must say.

i'm a proud mama

After my pre birthday celebration last Sunday in the beach, i went to my friend's house. I'm such a lousy person that i haven't gotten a chance to visit her in the hospital. Seriously, I was so busy then and she was at the hospital for a few days only. So, I paid her a visit that afternoon and it was nice to see her for the first time - as a mother.

an epitome of a proud mama, ooppss Tita! :P)

there, the real mommy! ;)

the little girl, 3 weeks old Samantha
born to a half Filipina half Chinese mother and a Spanish father
When i arrived at their house, the baby was sleeping soundly. She is a picture of an angel you can't dare to stir up. When she woke up, her mother had to change her disposable diaper and it brought back some memories. I used to change the cloth diapers of my younger siblings back then. Maybe it wouldn't be that hard if i had to do it with my future children someday.

i'm a year older - the summary

 
Last July 14, i turned another year older, but none the wiser :P I don't usually make a fuzz of my birthday. I don't even celebrate ;) This year, i spent a fortune! Because i wanted it to be special and worthwhile. Special but not grand. Special in a way that it is shared with the people i hold dear. Not all were there, but at least most were. I had a 3-day celebration (murag artista!). First with my family, another with my female friends and a third one with my coworkers. Why 3? Well, for one, i cannot accommodate them all in one setting. I just want a subtle and simple gettogether. 2nd reason, 3 is an important number for my birthday this year. haha! :P

pre bday celebration | my bday celebration | my bday - continuation | post bday celebration

I want to thank everyone for all the birthday greetings and warm wishes. I cannot mention all of your names, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you. From the text messages (especially gikan sa akong duha ka crush nyahaha!), messages left in my tagboard and comments,messages in friendster, messages from Bisdakplanet, scrapbooks and gifts and cards and phone calls - thank you very much for remembering. :)

And most of all, thanks God Almighty for the blessings and the gift of life... :)

the wows of GPS tracking

Technology is evolving and innovative ways and means are unstoppable. Everyone and every company in each chosen field is keeping at par with the latest of today's technology. Have you ever thought that through the advancement of technology you could keep track of almost anyone? Yes, sure you can! Guys, been eyeing on that gorgeous girl next door but doesn't have a clue on where she hangs out? Cheer up, you'll soon have the chance to be with her crowd through GPS Tracking technology. Of course, you don't have to come off like a stalker that might get her appalled. Just be cool and take advantage of GPS tracking technology. If i were a company director or manager, i'd probably go with the idea of tracking my employees if they are sent out to work. It's a better way of knowing and ensuring that they are not slacking! I wouldn't mind if i were tracked as long as it's official. And if i were a mother, this is best for my children to know that they are safe. To all the wives out there who are worried about cheating husbands? This is the answer! The only question there is, would the husband agree? I think this will all boil down to whether the cause of tracking is beneficial or not. The important thing is that we understand that technology is there to help ease our lives.

the not so sporty me

One of the tv series that i have been addicted to is Laguna Beach. It's a show that follows the elite lifestyle of a group of teenagers in California. One of the main characters is called LC or Lauren Conrad and her boyfriend was an avid golf player. So on his birthday, she planned on giving him a set of golf club and golf balls to complete his collection. It lead me to thinking - i don't play any sports so it would be difficult if i have a boyfriend who plays a lot of sports! Getting sports items for him would be a challenging job since i know nothing. Well, i don't have a boyfriend so why worry about it! LOL! :P

i'm a year older :)

July 14, my natal day! There's no turning back, lol! I planned on waking up early and then go to church. Nothing new, i woke up late so i changed my plan and went to church in the afternoon instead. I was absent from work but still i came in to reply some important business emails. Glorie picked me up at around 5:00pm and off we went to Sto. Nino Church. I received a phone call from a former colleague wishing me a happy birthday. I was relieved for quite a time, i thought this person was mad at me for some things i did last month. I'm glad to know he has no ill feelings to me contrary to popular belief!

I should hear the mass but we were late so i just uttered my sincerest prayers and thanks, then proceeded to Lighthouse Restaurant in Mango Avenue to meet my close friends in the office. Too bad, not all were present.

We had a good time taking pictures especially when the desserts were served! LOL! Jai (a colleague fresh from Spain) just arrived and managed to be with us in the later part of the dinner.

Here are our photos:


will work parttime in the adjacent bar after the dinner, lol! :D


yes, if you're looking for some native filipino food, try it here

Thanks for the time and for the gifts (will post a separate entry) peeps. I sure had a wonderful time on my birthday.

We went to Offroads after dinner... details in the next post. I was quite conscious in some of the photos because of my pimples. I should have used an acne cream to get rid of these unsightly view on my face.

two more days and it's my birthday!

Yup! You read it right. Just two more days and i'm gonna celebrate another blissful year. Excited for my birthday, starting today, i will be wearing red until the day after of my birthday. Why so? I'd have to say, just because. Well, i'm just happy i've come to this age and i'm embracing it. In fact, i'll celebrate my birthday starting tomorrow. Another one on my birthday itself and a third one after the day of my birthday. Isn't that fabulous? Aside from my birthday, i have other birthday invitations for this month. I'm excited just the same because I will be going out of town! Yes!

on getting the hand-me-down stuff

Here at work, some ways are a lot like what we have at home. The younger children always get the hand-me-downs stuff from the older siblings. More often than not, the younger siblings always envy the older ones since they always get the new ones. A few months ago, one of my teammates asked me if he could get a new PC with faster memory because it always troubles him when he's doing some documentation. I was sorry to tell him that the new PCs were intended for the senior engineers who were still using old PCs. Fortunately for him though, he didn't have to wait that long because in the following month, new PCs were allocated also to the new associates.

always out of space

My hard disk in the office that is. With total size of 74.5 GB, i only now have a free space of 1.4 GB. I cannot receive emails, not even delete! I'd have to press shift+delete to free up space and receive incoming mails. I've been telling myself to burn all my old files but never got around to it. Now that I have the chance, i still cannot do it. I'm gonna need a cable for the laptop. I have to see if the available Cat5e patch cable in the lab will suffice. I have to get this task done or else i'd have to delete some old pictures in my files to accommodate more important recent files.
