when mom speaks

You know what’s keeping me busy these past few days?! Well aside from reading New Moon (yes,I just started three nights ago) is watching this…

For four consecutive days already…. I just totally love watching this flick over and over and over again… now I wish to have those fancy home theater chairs to complete everything! you know, munching on chips and drinking iced tea while being so kilig over the look and stares of Edward it melts me! lol

So there, guess I’d see you guys around, will pop in the Dvd again in a while..  holler up over ym or twitter if you need something and no, I don’t need any of your whims and yada - I hope you know who YOU are. lol

Have you seen the Oscars and the stars that strut their curvacious body at the red carpet?!  Just look at this awesome stars that wore the best of the best gowns by the world renowned fashion designers! I wonder if they had to pop in those effective best diet pill too?! Here are the top three female who made every single lady awed their gowns and elegance…

The Goddess herself - Angelina Jolie in  Elie Saab - I totally hear her earrings that matches her ring

Halle Berry in her pretty make up and tube gown

The Royal Princess - Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive

I was able to catch the second episode of the Secrets of the Masters - a cooking show over at Q11 that features the prowess of the well known chefs in the country today. At first I thought that their foods to be prepared are difficult to made since it’ll be the renowned chefs to strut their stuff over the show, but men, I was so wrong! They made dishes that are so common but was able to to a lot of twist in it! Meaning, a new addition on the common recipe and some other add ons that can make the whole recipe oozing with new flavor and zesting with new and better taste! And yeah, they also feature wines that matches even the simplest meal they prepare! Talking about wine of the month specials that everyone must try

Some items that makes wanna shop! lol .. all for the love of vintage-y accessories!

I Love You pendant

Ribbons and Bow Necklace

Brass Ox Flower pendant

Love Letter Necklace

I don’t know with others but I always have an eye with the vintage accessories and all, I totally love their unique color tone, more on the antique side. I’m just not sure if this particular seller also sells out other jewelries like engagement rings and bracelets, but they made good earrings too… as seen on her online shop!

A friend of mine who is on her 6th month of pregnancy asked me what products did I use when I was still conceiving my daughter, because it so happens that due to her hormonal changes, skin breakouts are causing her to have problems. But you see, using beauty products during conception is totally not a good idea, first because of the harmful ingredients the products has been made off, it might affect the fetus inside and that is not a very good thing right?  That is why it is very important to use product lines that are beneficial not only for the pregnant mothers but as well the baby inside. Beauté de Maman is known and popular for their beauty products such as Stretch marks creams, nipple gel, facial scrub, face and body cream - products that were made specially for those who are conceiving and was developed by obstetrician. Anyways, I refer the said site to my friend and I believe that she will order a set of everything for herself soon, after reading so much about the Frequently asked questions on www.beautedemaman.com site and knowing that hollywood expectant celebrities are actually using this line of beauty products made here decided to try it too! And another good thing about this line is that you can order online! No need to worry on searching where this can be bought because by just clicking the Order now button, it’ll soon be delivered right unto your doorstep!

Ito ang aking lahok para sa linggong ito, Bulaklak na Orchids na aking nilitratuhan noong kame ay minsang nasa Tagaytay. Gawa siguro ng magandang klima doon kaya’t mahusay at magaganda ang mga tubo ng mga halamang tulad nito. Matagal ko ng gustong magkaroon ng sariling halamanan subalit batid ko na talagang wala akong tinatawag na green thumb dahil kahit anong pilit kong makabuhay ng halaman ay talagang d nagpupunyagi. Malamang sa pagkuha na lamang ako makukuntento

Here is my entry for this week, Flower. Taken when we were at Tagaytay, maybe because of the nice cold climate of the place that is why plants as sensitive as this orchids grow abundantly there, how I wish to have my own orchid and other flowering plants garden ever since. But I believe that I was unluckily not given a green thumb to do so. Maybe I’ll just be happy by just taking beautiful snaps of it all just like searching fo ball lock pins too!r

pakisilip na din ang isa ko pang lahok DITO

yes I am.

I’ved been thinking of getting an all in one printer,scanner,fax,phone and photo copying machine. You see although I’m not working in an office anymore, there are still some stuffs that I need to do not only for myself but for the whole family as well. My cousins and nieces always are in need of their photo copied assignments and stuffs, my dad is always in need of a fax machine for all his documents that needs to be send to his main office company. And yes, lately, my sister is in need of document scanning for her thesis project. And just the other night, we computed for her daily expenses with all her school projects and goodness! we were all surprised that it was a hefty thousands worth! Can you just imagine how much more she’ll spend in the next few months to come, until her thesis and other projects are done. So with that, my mom decided to ask my dad for some money to buy her a unit that she can use for all her document scanning needs. And so, since I also have a plan of buying, I told my mom that we’ll just chip in for the buying of the said equipment. We’ll see if the money would fit the all in one unit

My mom is now currently looking for a nice dress she can wear for a wedding that she’ll soon be attending - as a sponsor. I heard that it’ll be held in one of most coveted Local Wedding Venues over at Tagaytay. Of course I will come with her, you know to take some snaps and take advantage of the beautiful venue! Anyways, I need to read more about taking snaps of weddings and receptions, although I have some idea on what to take and some tips, learning more will help me do good right? I wonder now if the wedding will be held on a morning, afternoon or night time. I do hope it’s a day event for it’ll definitely be easy to take pictures using the  natural light! Something I do prefer

Here are two of my favorite subject during a wedding… Table set up!

It all started when Glo mentioned about her make up finds over at ELF.

Online chummies started asking about a lot of stuff about the beauty brand.

Glo decided to order for herself and eventually, asks the twitter bebots if anyone is interested.

CHAOS.

Everyone started browsing, goes gaga over the the array of make up and other beauty stuffs at ELF.

One after another sends email  that has their list of orders to GLO.

Until everyone finally was able to send their list - Glo, started ordering tons of ELF items.

Few days later, first batch of make ups et al arrive at Glo’s place.

It was super dami she had a hard time making bukod of each and everyone’s orders

Ziploc ed individual orders - ready for shipping

Sends paypal money request for all the orders - everyone sends their share fast

Few days ago, Aggie and mine’s loot came

And we are all happy. Thanks Glo!

Summer is almost here and we all want to have a nice body to strut around the beach or somewhere wearing the nicest clothes and all. Here are 7 dont’s if you are doing physical workout - in a gym or at your home…

With hard times like what we are all experiencing now, and if you are thinking of what investment to buy, one good suggestion is to purchase  gold coins .the reason is simple, as time goes by the value of such continues to rise. you wouldn’t hear that gold loses its value or anything to that effect. Buying gold has been recognized for centuries as one of the best ways to preserve one’s wealth and purchasing power. there are many ways you can purchase gold actually, the most favorable way is by the form of jewelry. but do you know that there are actually people or group of people that purchase gold in its raw form? in coin or ingot form. while others in bullion form. and with the purchasing of gold, attached to this is the safe keeping and security needed for the investment. that is when Monex Deposit Company (MDC) comes in, the most favorable company is the Monex Precious Metals- the home to the large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs and being America’s best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices.

To be potty trained… I think

At 25 months, she can now tell when she needs to do number 1 or 2, although at times a few seconds late, but at least the fact that she can now tell her call of nature is such a good thing right? Actually, I wanted her to start early -before her second birthday, but my mom told me to wait until she reaches her 24th month and prepare her first by telling her that soon she’ll be doing her thing on her potty trainer, we started telling her to sit down whenever she needs to weewee (do number 1) and to poopoo ( do number 2). I know it wouldn’t be that easy, but that’s what MOTHERHOOD is for. So as early as now, I am already preparing myself for disasters! I need to stock up with lots of paper towels and gallons of Pine Sol - to disinfects.

But what I’m so excited about is the fact that we are gonna be diaper free soon! We will be saying good bye to her super hiyang brands - Drypers or Huggies! - yep, we sticked to it, didn’t change nor tried  the cheaper ones, too afraid for negative reviews and feedbacks of/for  the nameless kinds.

What makes you look thin:

• Dressing in one color from head to toe— and it doesn’t have to be black

• Choosing darker shades over brighter shades

• Plunging necklines that draw the eye to your face and away from other problem areas

• Pointy-toed heels that add length to the leg and muscle to the calves

• Avoiding low rise pants and the dreaded muffin tops that come with them • A-line skirts flatter all figures

What makes you look fat:

• High waisted jeans as Jessica Simpson painfully showed us

• Shiny, clingy dresses that accentuate all the wrong places

• Tight tops that give the illusion of a baby bump when there isn’t one

• Unflattering hem lengths

• Skirts with slits down the front (hint: side slits are much more flattering)

• Clothes that are too baggy

• Patterns, especially stripes

Whenever the husband and I talks about our tomorrow, you know, future plans and all… we always have a chat regarding our dream house, although we don’t have that much of home plans, because we make sure to stick what we can achieve, and basically not over dream. And speaking of dream house, I in particular would love to have those country style and classic looking log houses, that is why I dream of living in Baguio or in Tagaytay where the weather is cold and wooden/log houses can be found and is typically the most ideal type of  house structure in the said places. Actually, as early as now, I try to look for inspirations over the net, thanks to HousePlansandMore.com for their beautiful samples of houses and home designs.  Since we love log houses, I try searching for a nice log home plan, for inspiration purposes of course. But I can’t tear off my eyes from looking at wonderful a particular luxury home plan they designed, it was so beautiful, I must admit.Anyways, I had to grab some of their house pictures so you can see the lovely log houses they design…

And here it is! Finally, after searching for my spare sd memory cards and recharging my slr’s battery, my latest loot from Boston (thanks Glo) via Cebu (thanks to the kindness of Mr.Paul) via Amadeo (pretty Aggie) came in here two days ago! I was supposed to get this stuffs on March 1- (Asher’s first birthday in Makati). But I got too excited I had to asked Aggie to have it ship before the week ends and so here it is now, my D&B bag - which is so nice, I can’t wait to use it!  and tons of  ELF make ups and brushes!

I wasn’t able to take a picture of the loots when it arrived, my camera was left at my parent’s house kasi…

My ala-doktora bag - D & B Exclusive Satchel - in purplish blue,

Make ups galore!

Brushes set - it was soft! although not as soft as the kabuki ones, but it’s really good anyways.

Eye liners in all colors and purpose, curlash, over all make up color-perfect for the busy you, mascara and red nail polishes!
