Showered & Pedicured

I might sound crazy but I am showered and pedicured as early as 5am. I took advantage of the peaceful moments in our house and that's when everyone are asleep. I went to bed really early last night and woke up around 4am, quickly checked my facebook then emails and flickr as well then to the bathroom and enjoyed being able to have a peace and quite. Now, I am fresh and ready to start my day! Have a blessed Friday everyone:) and a great weekend ahead!

Health matters......

I see that I am losing weight each week. I think its because I am breastfeeding and that surely helps me lose weight that easily. Though, I still need to lose few pounds but I'll get there in time. For now, my priority are my kids and hubby to lose weight and stay fit and trim. I feel that its my failure to let them gain more.......I know that I haven't really try harder on imposing strict diet on them specially for my kids because I know hubby is mature enough to think whats not healthy to eat but my kids only eats what they are given or what I cook. For the past years I often give them fried foods and that ain't good. So, recently I have tried more on baking them or oven cook or steamed prepared food. They are not a big fan on it but eventually they'll get use to it. I try to explain them that mummy wants them to have a healthy lifestyle. Weather has certainly help too because I can take them walk just around the neighbours every after school. They scooters and I walk pushing my youngest in his pram. As I've said before I don't want to wait the time when they need diet pills. It would be much better to do it organically. Hubby in the other hand already need the some diet supplements. He's using herbal life before and I'm about to suggest a different method of losing weight and this diet supplement reviews sounds helpful. I admit that I struggle but I definitely won't stop trying because I believe that a healthy lifestyle makes a happy home!

Propose plan.....

I only have two brothers in total, one is my elder brother and the other is younger. When I left Philippines they both were studying electronics course. They both loved it but I was sad when they stopped! Now, I am thinking maybe its not too late for them to pursue what they really dream of. If its late then it's better than never! I'll try to have a chat with them then maybe propose the idea and see what will be their reactions. It certainly would help them to find a better job that pays well as they both have their respective families to and kids to support. It would be nice to see their kids have a brighter future ahead once they're both qualified! Electronics are one of the most demand job worldwide.

...I collect mugs, do you?

One of my addiction are mugs. I have a collection of mugs! But I tend to collect them as a souvenir to every places I've been, sometimes if I don't see any special designs that I like I just buy spoon, forks or knives. Whatever I can collect but I would prefer mugs. Yeah, when I heard about custom travel mugs I was madly in love with the idea and until now I'm thinking of getting one but of course I have first to think what design would I go for.Something special that is worth putting to my mugs. Well, maybe it helps if I check the website first just to get some ideas? Alright, got me!

Certified flower lover....

My favourite season is here, Spring! Well, it sprung for a while but just had time to share it. The lovely flower below is taken by me in my Mother in-law's garden. I love going there because I know I can see varieties of flowers every year. She definitely has a green thumb. Whereas I don't, well not here obviously as my flowers tend to die within a week, hehe. Sad but true! Anyway, there's more Spring blooms in my Flickr photoalbum. Ahh, I just love flowers and I tend to shoot flowers these days, why not? It made me smile (beside my kids though)!

My acne experienced....

I have wondered before why my acne will never go away. Mind you, that was when I was teenager and when we reach teenage life that what we all experienced, right? But when I reach to 20's it faded away - I was so relief and got my confident back. But when I was expecting my 2nd child, it all came back again and its even worst because my face was really covered with spots. It was so embarrassing and what worsts was, I can't used any acne solutions because it might give bad reactions to the fetus inside my tummy. Well, that whats everyone said that it is harmful to used any facial products as they contains chemicals. Yeah, I was so desperate and couldn't wait the time to deliver the baby so I can get rid of my acne's - I was so miserable that time, really! Soon after giving birth I bought the best acne treatment and it really works! Just weeks after using it - it all vanished away! Expecting my 3rd child freaked me out because I thought I'll get acne again but luckily I didn't, it was obviously my hormones. I'm really glad!

Torn?

I know I have been posting or bragging about buying a new DLSR. But where is it now? It's everybody's question! Well, still in the shop, haha. I haven't bought it yet because that's only my plan! Though, I have the budget (not to gloat) but I just wanted to make sure of my decision before buying it so I won't regret later on. Because, we're not talking about few hundred bucks here so it won't be a cheap purchase however, its a gift for myself with my own money. Actually, its my maternity pay and I want to buy something that I can remember and see everyday. Hubby don't really mind how I spend my own money, his only advice is to buy what I really want! So yeah, I keep talking about it and I'm certain to get it before summer comes - if I can decide which one to get. Definitely one tough decision - no difference when men having hard time when choosing the best testosterone booster to use. But one thing for sure is, whatever we opt to get (love it or hate it) there is no one to blame but ourselves. So, pick wisely!

Her wish and hope....

How coincidence when I stumble upon this site, job search pa just after my sister is asking me for it. She is actually thinking of working abroad because she wanted a more challenging job. At the moment she is an accounting clerk and she is kind of bored at it. Same old, same old crap everyday according to her. Well, I think its because she is smart and she wanted a better challenging job that also pays well. So, I hope the link above will help her find one. Goodluck sissy!

St Georgie's Day

It was a beautiful sunny day today and the warmest weather so far this year and I'm hoping for more days like it. I thoroughly enjoyed being outside walking to the town with my husband and kids witnessing once again the yearly event, the St Georgie's day. It was packed of people that we had trouble getting in to the spot where we want to be. There were loads of stool that sell varieties of food, accessories, toys and etc. But mixed Martial Arts stool has caught our attention and so, we inquired and decided to enroll our kids (Keekee and Chan2x). What more is they're also have Ladies Self-defense courses of 6 weeks. Hubby think that it would be good for me to enroll too just to build up my self confidence. But I said to wait when I am ready because for now I am enjoying being a full time Mummy and nothing is more pleasurable that it. Anyway, we signed up the kids and they'll start on Monday at 6pm. They will do mixed Martial Arts but more on Jiu-Jitsu (literally meaning the "art of softness", or "way of yielding", is a collective name for Japanese martial art styles including unarmed and armed techniques). The kids are excited and who knows they'll like it and wants to do more after the 6 weeks course. Its more about self-discipline and confidence! That our target but of course self-defense as well. So, that's all we did for today - fun and productive, really.

Midnight Ramblings

Oh, I hate it when I woke up in the middle of the night because I know that it would be hard for me to go back to sleep. It's already passed midnight here now but already had 5 hours sleep because I fell asleep right after we finished our barbecue with friends. I didn't even finish watching movie with my kids just left them in the living room and took the little one with me. Now, I think I better make the most of it while I am pretty much wide awake and write my online task before my sweet baby love will wake up and demand a feed. He's at his crib and thanks GOD for that! Anyway, I'm about to watch American Idol result with hubby love then maybe a maybe together before we go to bed. Thanks goodness for its weekend and we can just relax and chill even its late. Oh, I just wish we have this home theater seating though - it would surely be comfortable compare to this old sofa we have, hehe. Never mind, I'm always comfy in hubby sweet loving arms. Alright, off I go before he calls me again, lol.

Snuggled-up + Music

= baby sleeping soundly! After I took my kids to the school this morning with little guy in tow - I dropped by in Iceland and grabbed some Muller yogurt as it is on offer, like 2 for £4 instead of £3 each - I pocketed £2 which I though is a good savings. Then, all the way home I noticed that my son was sleeping soundly and even more now that I put him in his Kuya and Ate's bedroom with a music on - he's loving it! He still asleep! Right now, I'm having a great time for myself, finally uploaded some of my photos I took on the weekend in my mother in-law's place and will upload some more later on. I'm munching my breakfast here in front of my PC while browsing for best wrinkle cream. Well, its not for me but for Mum - will send it in my next package. I will order some box this weekend since they've already got the last one I've sent. Gotta do more laundry and ironing while the baby is asleep.

11 weeks old

My son William is 11 weeks old and had his first immunisation. He cried loads and but was alright soon as he got on mummy's arms. He was also find all the way home. He had two jabs and contain 6 vaccine. He was a little fussy for the first few hours last night but slept all through the morning. Check out for more updates here....

Her next Girly Room...

Many times I've said this, of how impatient I am to move to a bigger place but due to the bad house market and recession we put it off until this year. So, this will be our next project this summer! We are redecorating our house at the moment for selling and we already have few houses we saw that we really like. I can't wait to decorate my daughter's bedroom once we will move because as of the moment we have to paint every wall white or neutral because we are making the buyers get attracted to it. They tend to dislike colourful bedrooms so had to let go the pinkness. Well, I have all my plan about my a good girly bedroom for my Kath this time and I can't wait for it to happen and ohh I would want her to have this Toto toilet too. Ah, I wish our house would sell very easily so we can just move and be all comfortable for the rest of our life if not then at least for 20 years.

School break is nearly over....

Kids holiday is nearly over, only few days more and they'll be back to school. I better think of taking them somewhere special this weekend because by Monday both them will be both in school. Also had to let their sleeping routine back to normal such as early nights because they have been spoiled during holidays. Ohh, our weather was very nice and I took advantage of it by simply taking my kids to walk everyday. I plan to continue this routine because we all need it anyway. Anyway, my daughter's scooter got broke just today and hubby is planning to mend it and I don't think he can. I told him we just need to buy them both new ones this coming Saturday. Btw, its very late here again and I am going to bed as my eyes are struggling but I'll just need to check for horse tack because we might consider of buying some horse apparel for a present to someone who love horse riding.

New Tips I learn...

in photography is how to control shutter speed and Aperture Value. I never read my manuals and so I didn't think that this would give us so much different to the shot I make. I just learned it from a very nice man in flickr who happen to be in my contact list. And I'm so glad I met him even only through online. He was very patience and taught me so well. Now, I am happy for the first time I know how to use the most important buttons in my camera. Here's one of the many shot I've take in between lessons....

Is it a Sign?

The volcanic eruption had caused chaos in Heathrow airport yesterday and today. It's where my hubby works! Many flights had been Cancel and thousands of passenger stranded and that alone made my husband works even more harder as he has to go in every early morning like 4am and come home late at night to make sure they do service them all properly. I've also read the news about China quake that killed 617 people. I wonder if this is all signs that the world is soon will end? If it is, are we all ready? Talking about signs I've came across with this Symbol LS2208 and it sounds interesting so I better check it out now.

Paper works.....

I'm so glad hubby finally organising all his paperworks last night. He found so many important papers that needed to be renew. Passports are our priority this year and nationalisation. I have been putting it off deliberately because I couldn't be ask to study about it. Kath is due as well and we have to apply one for our Little guy, William too. Hubby knows how much I hate paperworks so he has to do it all. He promised that soon after the tender contract result will come he'll start doing all that need to be done. Today he was browsing and find some good life insurance rate and he's convince that we should switch our old one to this. Ah, this is just one of the few paperworks - there are loads more and it should keep hubby busy this summer.

Egg hunting Photos....

I have been so lazy uploading our photos here. Like our Easter egg hunt, just uploaded it all last night and to minimise the quantity I have made it to collage instead. Just visit my Photo album. It was sure a lot of fun for us all. The kids had a blast! Thanks to the mother nature for giving us a lovely weather lately.

One last thing.........

before I go to bed is............to check out which best wrinkle treatments suit my Mum. I am starting a new package again and this is just one of the thing I would send to my Mum. She is not keen but I want her to try. She'll sure enjoy it once she'll see the result. I like to spoil my Mum - it just to return the favour really. She was soo good on raising us all considering how many we are. So, she'll definitely deserved to pampered. It's her birthday soon and I have to think the best gift to give apart from this wrinkle cream that I am sending. I gotta think, think, think!

Tilgate Lake...

Just my fave spots in Tilgate Lake. Whenever we get chance we tend to visit this place - its free and has more to offer such as varieties of flowers, playground, animals and lake. We walked around in this place again on Easter Sunday after having a huge lunch at Pizza hut. We felt all bloated so, we decided to walk for the whole afternoon and let the kids loose for a bit. It was indeed a lovely day well spent. So, check out our Easter weekend photos here....enjoy!

Stocks of Photos...

If my HD has a mouth it would complain how crowded it is. I have stocks of photos yet to be upload in my flickr but haven't got a chance yet. My Easter photos for instance. I gotta need energy to keep up with my photography. I think I've taken too many shots and now just leave it loaded in my HD. Anyway, I uploaded few from my Easter album but still there are loads more to come. I am hoping to upload tonight right after reading this phentermine reviews. It's nearly 3am here and still I am wide awake. Ahh, FB definitely taking my time. Anyway, I need to get moving as I needed some sleep because tomorrow is going to be another beautiful sunny day - a fun and exciting day is waiting ahead!

More layouts here..........

I simply love digital scrapbooking and I scrap as many as I can when given a chance. As I said, I bought like 6 new kits couple days ago and I thought to better get the most of it while mojo is still kicking. Here's few that I made yesterday and more to come next time............

Mood Swing....

I am definitely still in my hormones changes because lately I noticed how temperamental I am. Poor hubby, had to deal with it roughly. I'm really trying to calm as much as I could for the sake of the children. Well, I'm not too bad with the kids, usually they calm me down better than their Daddy. My husband just irritates the crap out of me. Though, I know that he is also stress of his work recently because of this much anticipated contract that they are bidding and is waiting for the result. He couldn't stop thinking about it, like if I'm talking to him he is miles away day dreaming. You know what I mean? So, I think its not only me who's grumpy lately, as well as hubby. However, I am trying hard to control my temper because I just realised that I'm not getting any younger and so the wrinkle creams are not getting cheaper either. Anyhow, our love remains stronger and stronger and we both know things will get easier once we move into bigger house. Honestly, space is all we need!

Diet Aids? No, not for kids....

I am stuffed! Just had our lunch and it's the yummy roast pork chop with steamed rice and my gravy tasted just as good. It was really tasty! My daughter love it and so the hubby. But unfortunately my 4 yr old as usual being fussy and only ate a bit like few mouthful. Well, he drunk all his milk so, he should be alright. I am implementing a strict diet on them because I don't want them turn fat like their Daddy. And also, I don't want to get to the point where we have no choice but give them diet aids because I think they're too young. On the first day of their school break I took them for a long walk around the neighborhood to the big park and back home. It was such a nice day and I was proud of myself. Now that I started it, there will be no stopping!

Black Saturday...

I got a letter from my employers about employment screening this morning - just telling me that I have to do it soon as I go back to work. Well, whatever they say!

Anyway, its black Saturday and our plan is to go shopping for my daughter's Easter outfit. Yes, I am not that organised though I plan it months ago but still I managed to put it off because I am waiting for the more great stuff coming out. I thought if I buy one and later on I'll see an even better dress. That's always the case, don't you think? Well, yesterday I bought the boys outfit but didn't see anything appropriate for Kath. There was just this shirt that I thought would be the possibility. Okay, call me obsess but I am like this when it comes to my kids theme outfit. I can be very specific, hehe. Alright, I better do this quick before I run out of time again....

Easter Layouts

I did splurge out with new scrapping kits again this time. Well, it's very inspiring so I didn't hesitate to treat myself since its Spring and Easter too. Here's the layout I made and more to come............

Unsure...

One more thing I needed to check before I finally log off is this social security disability to make sure that me and my family are talking the same thing. I chatted to them earlier about it and as I said I was not sure if this is what they are talking about. Well they told me that they got Mum a medicare and its my sister who pays for it monthly, an automatic deduction to her salary. She mentioned how useful it is when it comes for health emergencies as our older sister got one and used it when she was confined few months ago due to successive high temperature. She didn't pay anything in the hospital because medicare covered it all. It's definitely very useful especially for my parents who are getting weaker each day due to an old age. I am quite interested about it that is why I am checking out social security disability for future reference.

Macro Mania...

After abandoning my Macro lens for months I decided to used it again. I was inspired by a flickr contact with his amazing Macro shots. He told me about the Tamron 90mm and I was pondering to buy it together with my upcoming upgrade but then I realised that I don't need to because my Canon EF 100mm is just as good - even better, I think? I'll save my money for another lens that I am planning to buy in the near future. I'm investing for my hobby's sake. Anyway, here's my shots using my 100mm.

Never ending chores....

Gosh, you wouldn't believe how high my ironing pile in the our utility room right now waiting for me. It's loads! I was gonna do it this morning but I was doing something else instead. Then we went out shopping for Easter's outfit and came home around 7pm and did some laundry and cleaning most of the house. Now, I'm stock here in my PC again instead of ironing. Chores...chores...chores...my never ending chores! I'll do it soon after checking orlando timeshare - it just get me interested and curious after heard about it. And ohh, I did some layouts too and will share it in my next post....

Lose weight Naturally

Wonder what this number are for? Actually I took this photo just right after measuring and weigh myself. I am currently 57 kilos which is still quite a lot to lose. I didn't do any dieting yet or extreme exercise. I lose it normally by breastfeeding and probably for being so active everyday sending my kids to school through walking. Well, I count this as an accomplishment since I was twice as heavy 2 months ago. My target is 45/46 kilos that is my regular weight for my height - not too thin nor chubby. I don't really like to weigh more than 45/46 because I am not that tall and I look like a drum. Seriously, I look so stumpy if I am chubby but never been chubby in my life anyway apart from when I'm pregnant and after. It comes naturally, I think. Well, this time I am not rushing towards losing weight because I know that I'll get there in time. More or less in a years time. Besides, I am happy right now and dieting is the least thing I would want to.
