Face Care for Him

Although I don’t need any skin care right now, The Husband does! I’m researching for home remedies for blackheads first before we consider buying any products or worse (for him, that is), have someone prick his face. We love the blackhead strip that we used to get from the groceries but I read somewhere that it’s not good for the skin if you do it all the time. I also tried a homemade product being sold at GirlTalk forum before but couldn’t find the thread anymore. It was not that expensive, the smell was good and made my skin really shine. If only I could find that, I could convince my husband to try it himself. It involves a lot of process from day to night, scrubbing, face mask, et. so I will have to volunteer in doing those for him too!

No Diets For Me

I’m so not in the loop when it comes to diets for quick weight loss. Why? Well I eat what I want these days, thanks to the growing girl inside my tummy. I try to eat healthy of course but most of time, I indulge. After all, I deserve it. The Husband asks me all the time what I want to eat whenever he’s out of the house. It could be a chocolate cake, an egg tart, a special noodle or something as simple as a juice drink. It doesn’t matter as long as it’s the “need of the day”. Based from my weight during last OB check up, I’m still on the normal range and my baby is growing healthily. Thank God for that because I don’t know if I could diet just like what I did with Sandy.

Feel So Great

Seeing my photos from the past two months, I’m happy to note that I have no need for treatment for blackheads. All thanks to my pregnancy. I realized it’s been months since I used a moisturizer and night cream but my skin still looks young and clear. Wish I could say the same thing for my hair though but I’m not really complaining. Even if I look bad (which I hope I don’t), I’d be more than happy to just feel good and not nauseous all the time. Being alert and active is more important to me than looks because I have a job to do everyday and a little girl who still needs my attention.

Success Stories

Watching or reading about weight loss success stories makes me smile. I know being overweight is one of the hardest things that women (even men) go through that it has become a goal to several people. Sometimes, it’s the reason why people are so insecure that they don’t go out anymore or pursue a career growth for fear of rejection. Let’s face it, the world is cruel. Which is why seeing a person reach his or her ideal weight makes me really happy for them. Finally, they can start anew and be who they wanted to be – the one that was inside them all along.

On Serious Stuff

There are topics that I never thought I’d talk about with my friends, 5 or 10 yrs ago. There’s infidelity, burial packages, ligation and best colon cleanser to name a few. It’s unbelievable when it seems like only yesterday when all we can talk about are boys, shoes and clothing. We still talk about that, we’ll still be girls no matter how old we are. But still, more important and serious matters like death and sickness enters the conversation from time to time.

No Pork for Two Weeks and Counting

Ahh, it feels good to eat just fish, chicken and vegetables. Although I miss pork and beef, I feel lighter and more active on our new diet.

Thank God I have The Husband to keep the meals interesting too.

Vacation After Vacation

I know we’re going on a vacation in a couple of days but my thoughts just keep heading towards the beach. Our vacation, although there could be shopping involved, will mostly be for kids so I’m only 80% excited. What I really want to do is visit a place with properties similar Cabo San Lucas rental. Huge rooms with a view of the ocean, access to inifinity pools and overflowing food and drinks. I know – we are addicted to food and a vacation isn’t complete if the food isn’t good and plenty. Then at night, I want to listen to local musicians playing by the beach while we have dinner with (or without, is that even possible?) our daughter. It doesn’t have to be expensive. As long as we can all relax, then that’s fine by me.

It Just Never Ends

This may sound weird but I want an mmf drawer. And a new computer table plus removable drawers underneath. Then I could probably use a new desktop, getting tired of my laptop really so I can install Windows 7. After that, I’m planning to buy a portable hardisk, maybe with a capacity of 500GB or 1TB. Having said all that, I guess it’s not really weird knowing my penchant for wanting things that I couldn’t buy right NOW. All these will have to wait now that we’re saving up to buy new furniture and appliances for the baby.

Bathroom Fix

Talking about plumbing fixture first thing in the morning is not exactly my thing. But something needs to be done in the hallway’s bathroom. I’d rather The Husband use that instead of the one inside our room because he gets really noisy in the mornings with his sneezing and coughing (thanks to his allergies). With the new baby coming, I’m sure he’ll wake up the whole family if he gets ready inside our bathroom. Poor husband, always have to move whether it’s sleeping or taking a bath, but what can we do? If the baby will be as hard as Sandy, we’ll need all the sleep and rest we can get.
