Studies show that the body starts to slow it’s production by the age of 30 which causes the first signs of aging. A number are turning into HGH injections to reverse this process. Ok, I admit, I am already on that age line but do I really hgh supplements? Still not thinking about it. I would still like to think I still look young on my age. Will probably just consider it on a later time.

My dear cousin, Sherlou’s wedding was done over the weekend. I am one of the principal sponsors. Yes, read it right, not even secondary but a principal sponsor. But I was very happy with gown that day, which was made by none other than, Veluz Reyes. I love how the gown perfectly fits me. A number have complimented it saying I look so slim on it. In fact, I cannot believe it when one guest even approached me to as as to where can she buy apidexin cheap? “How will I know?” as I replied. She thought I was taking diet pills! Lol!

So just look here and be the judge

Yes, that is what I promised myself. Well, a promise that I won’t get a new bag until the end of the year. I think I had enough already so I would be a good girl already otherwise, the husband won’t be happy and might even put me already for a residential rehab! lol! I have been nice and not naughty at all so Santa Claus is giving me my advance christmas gift so I am one happy camper! Though it is still en route to Manila, I can’t wait to get hold of it.  I am making other priorities this time so I could achieve my goals in the next years to come.

I got a flat tire last week. Thanks to the roadside assistance available in the area where I got stuck. They were like those Good Sam RV Towing and Emergency Assistance. They were very helpful. But it was an unexpected expense on my part since the tire was needed to be replaced at all.  It wasn’t a good bump.  I even have to more around the area to look for a good tire company who has an available stock of the 17″ tire rim.  Yes, I am driving a lowered car with a big rim. Kinda sporty actually.  Now, I am more careful.

by two inches. Thanks to the GC i got from Sofitel hotel, I was able to avail of a free haircut and free treatment from Philippe’s Salon.  It was a fresh cut and I like it very much!  I like how it was layered at the back.  I think I just need a retouch for my hair color as my hair roots are showing some white hair again and its not a pretty sight to behold.  I think I would be keeping this cut for a longer time.  I just need to have a trim often.  The husband is very happy with it.  She likes shorter hair on me.  I must admit, people are saying that I look younger too so might as well keep it this way.

So what’s new? As usual I am still busy. In fact, wording it that way is just an understatement. There are so many work to be done especially that the peak months are here. In few days, it would be October and most of our clients based abroad are starting to come home. Paper works are piling up. Thanks to the scanner software I was able to get. Compiling all documents of clients was made easy.  You see, I need to practically keep track of everything from contracts, to receipts even to the individual emails of the clients. My work space now is crazy! Really thinking now to get a secretary!

Are you as addicted as me with Plants vs Zombies? I am an addict to this game. I’m close to finishing the entire play and it’s driving me nuts. I stay up in wee hours just to play. Yes that’s how addicted this game could be. And with that, I am thinking that the costumes of the girls for the halloween could be lifted from one of the plants from this game. Isn’t a great idea? I heard I could get some online coupons for halloween costumes. Can someone tell me where I could grab those?

the whole family just trooped to Tagaytay. That was about two Saturdays ago. We just enjoyed the cool breeze of the place and stayed in an uncle’s house for the night. Of course, we did not miss having coffee in Starbucks there as we also took some photos along side the view deck. When you have kids already, you seldom take pictures of yourself with your husband. So this is one of those rare moments…

I particularly like this picture as it doesn’t show any trace of dark circles around my eyes. Thanks to the best eye cream I am using! lol!

Yes, I rode the bandwagon of friends who love their iPhone to bits! Yes, I finally got mine (after fretting about the network) before the US trip. In fact, rushed to Globe Telecoms in Greenhills to pick up my unit (white 3gs 32gb) on the day of our flight. The “toy” made my kids sit back on our long road trips. And used the iPhone of their dad too, it was a peaceful trip since they didn’t have to fight over it.

I’m loving it so far. Had to adjust it’s touch-screen feature but I’m getting the hang of it now. Not to mention that I’m having a blast with all the apps loaded into it, especially the games! I’m addicted to most actually!

Yes, it’s my day today. My birthday actually. I thank my parents for bringing me on this world (and to my mom for taking proper prenatal vitamins when I was still in her womb, lol!) I am thankful for my life. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for my family. God is so good. Today, it is extra special as I am celebrating it with my whole family in a special vacation treat for all of us. We are just having a great time and I, particularly is having a blast. We are currently in Las Vegas. Celebrating my birthday here  Had buffet lunch in Ceasar’s Palace.  Staying for another two nights before we prepare to come home to Manila. This is one great vacation. 

I almost can’t believe that I am just 56% vain? Well, at least…that’s just 6% higher from the 50%. So I am not so much vain! Thank goodness

I will be celebrating my 26th birthday, lol! It will indeed be a memorable bday celebration for me as our family will be in Las Vegas that time. That would be our 2nd just for this trip. No major birthday present as I would probably would just like to get a new fitness equipment when we go back home. It would be definitely a better option for the husband and I to use to shed off those extra pounds we have gained so far. Hope I can resist all temptations in Las Vegas! lol!

Oh, I have been ranting and ranting since this morning.  

This is my rant regarding my request for the iPhone…

I hope this could also reach the right people in Globe Telecoms…

“What is 1 day earlier request to release my phone when I have been with your network for more than 10 years???!!! And still willing to take another 2 years lock-in!  Come on, Globe Telecoms!  Don’t give me reasons to shift to another network when I have been a loyal subscriber ever since!  I wouldn’t request for a day earlier release if I am not leaving the country the day before your release! Besides, I am not even getting the unit for free.  I am still paying for it!  I’m so frustrated and disappointed that I didn’t receive a call from your customer service that my phone showed up to be available in your system since May 4. I just learned about it after my follow up this morning.  I thought you mentioned that someone will call me as soon as the unit becomes available? No calls made since then!  A subscriber is still the one who needs to follow up!  How’s that for a loyalty reward?!!! Should someone from your loyalty group called me ahead last May 4 that my unit is already available, then no need for this special request! I know there is a 3 working day policy for release but what is 1 day earlier request when from the very beginning also, the date of my flight has been noted on your system reports! And oh until now, I am still demanding a call from your loyalty group, which I still haven’t received!” 

seem long enough if you weren’t living it happily, but it was a bliss of dreams that were all achieved with the love of your life. And it becomes more exciting if you two are on the same page on your journey through life. Thanks Babes  for all the love and respect. I have indeed married a great man. We have built happy memories together for us and our kids to remember and together, I am still looking forward to be beside you on what tomorrow has in store for us!

8 years and counting!  It is our Happy Wedding Anniversary!

I was first year college on this picture…

Can you find where I am?  I was 14 years younger then as well as about 35 pounds lighter! harharhar. I wonder if the prototype 37c could really make me look younger for ten to fifteen years? Hmm, but I am just happier now probably, reason for the extra pounds.  Anyway, I just having a blast looking at old pictures.  It was just so good to reminisce those days.  Can’t help to find good memories from then.  I pretty had a happy school life from grade school to high school and college.

Since I went to this known hairdresser in the country for the past year, i haven’t had a hair rebond. I know, it is something new to me since hair re-bonding has been a regular regimen for a couple of years already. But this hairdresser thinks otherwise, she recommends to just grow my hair as is so it would look more natural. Apparently, there are just days that I just want to give up on everyday blow drying to make my hair look straight. I am thinking though to try the Permanent Blow Dry that is being offered from Basement Salon. Although I am not sure if such would actually last for months but the stylist told me it can hold up without my curls for more that 3 months. Well, it should be since it is priced hefty.

And speaking of Basement Salon, they do offer professional make-up classes at an affordable price. I remember taking one before and I enjoyed the class very much. I wonder if their class is the same as the cosmetology school in North Carolina which is a known beauty school founded more than 50 years ago in Minneapolis. But right now, they have close to 30 campuses already across the US. I have read up that their campuses are known to have upscale salons. They are also known to provide unique programs that caters to every individual who wants to have a career in beauty industry. 

Ok, back to my topic, still undecided whether to have a hair re-bond soon.  And oh, by the way, I want hair color too!

I am very vocal about my preference for Peninsula Manila among all other hotels in the country.  Oh well, aside from the fact that we got married there, I love their lobby, their room, their facilities, their food, their service and their people.  That’s why when they invited me over last Sunday to attend their event, I really made sure to come.  It was a great evening with friends.  The food is superb.  They featured the amenities in their new packages.  Again, it was all good and excellent choices.  

In few times, I got the chance to use the husband’s iPhone especially when he is sleeping already I am beginning to love it! Thanks to the newly installed cell phone signal booster within our street, I love browsing the internet and using all the applications installed to it. And yes, I am thinking to get one for myself. But I am torn whether to get a white or a black? Any suggestions? I wonder how true it is that the white could change into brown overtime especially if you use the internet or playing games or the applications often? Would appreciate comments/feedbacks.

This is one of my busiest week!!! I could already imagine how tired I could be at the end of the week. If I would check my pulse rate from an oximeter, my pulse rate would probably have gone for more than a hundred. I have meetings everyday, starting early morning till late evening. I really have to finish most of my work before I leave for a vacation on May. I cannot afford not to enjoy it by clients calling me for some concerns.  I’ll load up myself with vitamins probably as sickness is not entirely allowed at this time.  Now, I am going back to work in 3, 2, 1!

Arg! I am having some falling hair for the past few weeks. Can i relate this to stress? So I went to Basement Salon in Shangrila Mall yesterday to have my regular hair spa treatment. I even inquired if they can put on some hair loss vitamins to my scalp to regulate my falling hair. Would you have any idea where I could find the best hair loss treatment? Actually, my husband needs one too! lol!

On the other hand, my regular hair technician recommended the Permanent Blowdry Treatment. No I didn’t aval of it just yet. It’s actually my first time to hear it so I asked her to explain to me. It’s actually a treatment for those with frizzy, unruly hair. (raise hands for me!-arg, i have those). You shouldn’t see me with a hair that has not been blow-dried! :p Eversince I went to Chiyo, she doesn’t want to rebond my hair which has been a regular staple since I was in highschool. But I must admit that my hair looks healthier except that I need to blow dry it almost everyday to tame down the frizziness.

With Permanent Blowdry, they use a Keratin Treatment which they said that Beyonce uses for her hair. Though it is different with rebonding or any other straightening treatment because it doesnt use chemicals that restructure hair. They said the results can last from six weeks to a few months depending on how frequently the hair is washed. There’s a special shampoo as well to use for the hair. Now, the cost for my hair is a whooping Php8,000. Not sure if I am up for it but a client who I talked to while I was there said she significantly cut down on her preparation time at home before going to office since she had the treatment. At least, she doesn’t need to master-blow dry her hair. Makes sense actually like for me who even have regular blowdry session in the salon.

Now, I am thinking…
