I have been contemplating to go back to school for a master. Although I am not sure how I can manage my time to physically attend classes 2 to 3 times a week. So I actually have started reviewing my options for an online degree instead. You see, it has becoming a popular choice already especially for busy people like me. Northwestern College for example is a known institution that specializes in Associate Degree programs in high demand fields of Health Information Technology, criminal justice degree and Business Administration which I actually would like to pursue. The program actually aims to establish their students to become a leader in their chosen career, making one bankable by positioing you for a higher salary and faster advancement in workplace. For me, I just want to learn more in diversifying and managing multiple business ventures. I hope to pursue this plan soon. Would probably review more about this Innovative Online Associate Degree.

There were some discussions about Lucky Charms among friends last week. So instead of just buying hair supplements that I need for my dry and limp hair from my favorite chinese store, I also took the chance to get myself those goodluck charms even before the eve of chinese new year. I have never been a fanatic of these charms but I believe there’s nothing much to lose anyway. Don’t know if it’s a coincidence but I have been receiving a number of good news for the past few days…well, it’s probably because of faith as well!  

My talisman for good income and wealth…

And my blue rhinos (those born in the year would need one during this year of metal tiger)

Our last day in Guam was spent mostly for swimming. The kids don’t really get tired of enjoying the water. Although, I don’t enjoy much of the heat, of course, anything for them so Dicky and I headed out to the pool as well after our buffet breakfast in the hotel.

The kids can’t get enough of swimming in the pool. Thanks to the floaters I brought. It made our lives easier ;p

Looking at my picture above, makes me think to do some lipozene reviews. Would it be effective on me? lol!

We took an afternoon nap and while the kids were sleeping, Dicky and I took the chance to take our snapshots by our room’s veranda…

I already packed our suitcases so as the balikbayan box we were bringing home as we had an early morning flight the following day. We went to Pleasure Island to have a stroll and take our dinner as well.

We slept early that night as our flight back to Manila was at 4am.  It was indeed a happy vacation with the family!  I look forward to more of these travels with the husband and the kids.

The iPhone of the husband arrived Friday of last week. Thanks to an online good friend who brought it all the way from Boston. We had the phone unlocked in Greenhills yesterday and after seeing all the applications downloaded to his new toy, I am thinking I want also!!! lol! There are just so many nice applications that can be used for the iPhone. In fact, the husband loves it to bits as well! And can you believe that there’s even an application now that can even get rid of blackheads? Yes, read it in Huffington Post that AcneApp is now available in iTunes that can treat zits on your face using nonometer blue and red light. It’s a dermatologist-developed treatment formulated by Dr. Greg Pearson. As the doctor said, it is a fascinated concept that users would potentially be able to treat their acne while talking on the phone. Unbelievable!

From the picture above, I obviously need a quick trim solution that I would need to shed off those extra pounds I gained over the holidays. Thanks to that pillow (which i purposely put) infront of my tummy to hide those flabs! I tried to go back to my south beach diet last monday but I was a failure. Arg! The husband is actually trying to go back as well as we really feasted during those christmas season. I think I better order again the food for delivery to jumpstart both of us. It’s less than 3 months before that grand vacation so we need ample space to store again those extra pounds!

is bliss! My home service treatment just finished. Foot spa with pedicure and then manicure, after which, an hour and a half of body massage! Love it! There are a number of spa services within the village so it’s always a phone call away whenever I want some relaxation. In fact, we are loyal patrons already of our favorite home service spa. In fact, I have even tried their facial which is also good as they use all natural ingredients for the products they put on your face. And the blackhead extractor that they have doesn’t stink at all. I’m due for another facial again next week!

according to this quiz from Blogthings are:

You Have Your Priorities in Order

For you, sex is usually your number one priority.You don’t mind having things to get done… as long as they don’t pile up on you.  You attend to almost every priority in your life. You don’t neglect much. You want thinking to be a high priority, but you don’t take enough time for yourself.

Harharhar, the first priority is so funny!!! Could it be true? lol!

Gee, I was suprised to the amount I have to pay for my business permit renewals! Arg! Aside from business permits, it is also time to renew those insurance policies for our properties. I hate reviewing all contracts not to mention those undesirable agents (lol!) The husband is also asking me to ask for term life insurance quotes as we would like to increase our insurance coverages as protection for the family. Oh well, this stuff is really part of managing the household! Kidding aside, I really need help for life insurances as we wanted to get another one aside from what we currently have. I need to educate myself about all these policies and rules. Anyone who can give suggestions would be appreciated.

Before I get disgusted after seeing some eczema pictures, which are not at all pleasing, let me gather my thoughts and line up the things I need to do for today:

1. Finish answering emails
2. Online banking
3. Meet a high school friend for lunch and then meeting, meeting and another meeting (3 more this afternoon!)
4. Plan out the checklists for the event this weekend
5. Complete signing documents for the contract for the business
6. Contact accountant for pending permits. Arg, I freaking out for the amount I need to renew all my permits!!! Ok, I’m a good citizen paying my taxes.
7. Blog, Blog, Blog
8. Upload pictures in Facebook and Flickr
9. Finish pending writing assignments. When I say pending = overdue already!
10. Contact Travel Agencies for our trip

I really wonder if I can finish all of these today

I am recently hooked in reading local magazines. In fact, I made few subscriptions to two titles currently. And I think I want to add another one like the Preview Magazine after seeing this Twitpic from Kelly.

I must say that I was pretty amazed how Jinky Pacquiao looks so beautiful now. I wonder how long has she been using some acne scar creams. She looks so flawless and sexy. Well, despite the rumors that her marriage is currently facing, I guess this lady is still trying to think and do what’s best for her and her family.  Good for her.

Would try my best to go back to blogging…I have been in hiatus a couple of weeks back.  Life has been so busy both work-related and personal matters.  There are just so many things to write about.  I hope I’ll get my groove back.  And also hoping that i’ll lose all those pounds I gained during the holidays.  Now, really thinking of best way to trim down.  Could Fastin help my problem?  I wonder if it could.  I have been lazy around as well to get up early and exercise since I normally sleep late at night just to finish answering all emails and doing some paperworks.  And yes, I have been in hiatus from the South Beach Diet as well.  Maybe it would be good to back to the routine next week.  Let’s see…

Middle School Graduation Party Invitation

Next week would be a reunion with grade school classmates and friends. One of our classmates would bring our 8th Grade Graduation Invitations way back year ___! It’s so good to be reunited with friends and talk about our times together when we were all still young and fresh! lol!

Our 8th grade graduation invitations then was not so fancy as those you can find now from http://www.graduationcardsshop.com/. Unique and exclusive designs of middle school graduation party invitations and those junior high school graduation announcements are available only at GraduationCardsShop. Now, you can even view automatically the chosen design you may have using the patented preview feature. And ordering was not so jurassic unlike before where in you have to wait so long. You can now get your orders right away because they can print and ship the cards the same day that the proof has been approved.

Yes, I have been in Hiatus from blogging after coming from Guam two weeks ago. First, I still can’t get over with the wonderful family vacation we had. Secondly, back to reality, there are tons of work waiting for me. Thirdly, kids getting sick in between so that added up to my stress. But glad they are both better now!

It’s just 23 days before christmas and I am not yet done with christmas shopping! I’m not yet even half of my list! That should take a back seat for a while as I have 7 events coming up! Which explains the two zits on my forehead! Oh, but I was still able to snag some great deals from Thanksgiving sale both online and from the SM thanksgiving sale! (lol!) Well, that proves that I’m a multi-tasker!

Work is piling up so I really need to concentrate. I am also logging behind from my writing assignments There are also so many personal matters that I even have to attend to. Not to mention that we are hosting about 6 parties in the house just for this month of December!

Oh well, two many reasons why I have been in hiatus! I also haven’t bloghopped for like a month now as well. Thanks to FB and Twitter, I can keep up with friends.

I hope to get back to the groove of blogging before the week ends. Wish me luck!

when I last checked my weight this morning. Arg, it’s slow! But I have learned to be patient. Well, I cheated few times during the weekends. With all the parties we attended, I think I gained back the supposed 3lbs to make me less by 10lbs already. But I am still working that my belly fat won’t show. Double time in dieting as I am hoping to still fit in my skimpy swim suit as we stroll along Tumon Beach next week!

things to write about, I just can’t find time to sit down and do so.  Tons of pictures are in our cameras and I haven’t even uploaded everything. So let’s make this list a reminder for me on things I should write about and catch up for the coming days…

1.  Bianca’s (rush) birthday party at home

2.  Bianca’s birthday party in school

3.  Toy Kingdom Sale

4.  Christmas Decorations for the house

5.  The upcoming trip next week

6.  How much I am losing belly fat because of my diet.

7. The good news this week.

8. Parties galore attended last weekend

9. Upcoming more parties

10. Get together plans with friends.

11.  The husband’s progress with his diet.

12.  Christmas Shopping List and wishlists

Would really try to blog soon but for now, I need to hit the sack as I have been sleeping for like 4 hours only every night! I’m like a walking zombie in the morning!  :P

last weekend was heaven for me!  Just a slice promise!  I couldn’t last that saturday without taking something sweet for the past 6 days!  The South Beach Diet is slowly taking on me but I am not complaining though.  I would be happy to take off x number of inches from my waist.  Well, I have noticed that I had to move the belt I wore yesterday one hole tighter from what I usually have!!!  Now, if i want to make it fast in time for me to wear my swimsuit for Guam, I am consider taking those fat burners! lol!

I’m on my fourth day of South Beach diet and surviving!  I am not sure if I could last for straight 14 days of no carbs, no sweets!  Let’s just count it daily, ok?  But the good news is, I  already lost 2lbs!  :P  Half pound a day!  Not bad!

as of this time. I am feeling cold and I have runny nose and bad cough. I think it would already lead to something. But I have tons of work to do and I cannot afford not to finish it. So here I am, inside our own room, doing my job in between sleep. Got to isolate myself to the kids as well as I heard Bianca is already been coughing since this morning. Aw! I hope it won’t progress. And oh, I really feel cold now, wonder if an electric blanket would do the trick!

Birthday Invitation

3 more weeks and i haven’t ordered yet Bianca’s Birthday Party Invitations. The little girl is turning 3 and she would have a simple birthday party in her play school. I already talked to the teacher and asked as to how many party invitation should I prepare for the classmates. I am still deciding on the theme of the party though. One parent suggested to have a tropical theme since the kids love playing outdoor especially in their sand box.

Well, could be a good point so I am considering to order birthday invitation to that theme. I saw one already from http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/. The site offers unique and exclusive designs available only from Announcements-Shoppe. I am thinking to put a picture as well of Bianca in bathing suit to perfect the theme. That is actually allowed in any cards I may choose to get. I don’t care if its rainy season already at this time. Who said you can’t have outdoor water fun still?  Now, what I need to do is to coach the little girl to pose for a picture. As mentioned she would be on her bathing suit!

It’s a brand new day. Although I am still sleepy but I am glad that I got some Medifast coupons online this morning. It’s a great treat for me! Husband is now seriously taking his diet plan so I should also support him or say the least follow? Will see how it is progressing on him and I might start with my diet plan as well by next week. Need to get fit before we hit the beach again this November!

that is how it is in real life!  

There is what you call, ” you can’t please everybody!” 

I am doing my job wholeheartedly!  

(yun lang!)

We were advised by the reception and a letter was inserted in our room that morning that it was at Signal number 1. There was a storm that day. Well, ironically, even if its at signal number 1, the sun was still up that day so we had a great time again in the park. We rode almost all rides except the jungle river cruise which was close due to storm We also watched most of the shows since those were the ones that were really open. Come afternoon, it became cloudy already but still not raining. We again watched the parade at 4pm and good thing the fireworks still proceeded in the evening.

We also had a great time having pictures with the characters in the the FantasyLand area. We took all our chances to really line-up as the trip to Disneyland won’t be complete without those actually. We also did some shopping in the stores for the kids. They got pens, notebooks, toys, candies, shirts and all you could think of! They enjoyed the loots so much!

Sorry…pictures overload again…

It was our last day in Disneyland so we really had to make the most of it.  The kids were very very happy.  So even if its tiring it was all worth it for me and Dicky.  We were glad to give them such happiness.  Last few shots inside the park after the fireworks before heading back to our hotel…
