Saw the bag from my favorite showbiz magazine, YES! and I couldn't help but drool over it. My fellow blogger and MBAP friend Kelly, confirmed this "IT" bag is indeed, HERMES LINDY. So pretty and fab!! And I can't help but to drool again. Love, love the stunning color of the bag. Yet, another addition to my never-ending wish list .. yes, just a wish since I can't afford to own an Hermes bag! (And even if I can afford it, will probably not buy one! hihihihi ... in my wildest dreams)

weight battle

I need to lose some weight and become slim!! Do you know the best way of losing weight and becoming slim? Some of my friends tried dieting, gym exercise, drinking diet pills and even considered surgical procedures but still not successful enough. Food diet can be hard for me because it deprives me not to eat my favorite food. Exercising is also hard, because with the demands of my work lately, I have no time to go to gym and exercise. Drinking diet pills may not be hard, but the effect is slow. So while thinking on how to lose weight, I have the perfect plan for becoming slim. I’ll have a good diet without depriving myself of yummy food, exercise whenever there is time and have the best weight loss pills.

School Time

Its June already, that means one thing...school time for the kids. Thus, need to shop for the kids asap.So it's back to school shopping again as I need to buy new school materials for the kids. I don’t need to buy the basic school materials, like notebooks, crayons, etc., for Sam because her school already provides them. Luckily, I just need to buy her shoes, socks and undergarments for her school use. Unlike Sam’s school, Ico's school does not provide him any school materials. I need to buy Ico the usual materials such as pads, fillers, pens, and other art class parphernalias as per requirement. And since Ico is now in highschool I also need to buy him lab materials such as lab gowns, and safety materials like safety glasses for his Chemistry class. How about you, have you started your school shopping?

on ico's weight

Now I’m worried about my son Ico. He's gaining weight lately and becoming a couch potato. And since it's summer, my son not engaged in any sport activity but instead just lay on his bed all day and surfs the web or busy with his social networking accounts like facebook and friendster. He's already a teenager, and as far as I know teenagers always think about how they look. They put so many things on their face so that it wouldn’t have any pimples. Naturally, teeners want to look their best. They always look at the mirror and fix their hair for hours. And lastly, they overreact when they gain weight. Ico hasn’t done anything to lose weight, despite all our diet pep talks, he can't seem to lose weight. So I am looking for weight loss pills that work. Any suggestions?

Happy 6th, Migo!!

Migo turned six months last week, happy to say he's been doing well. At six months, his growth and developments quite advance fo his age. In fact, he now has two sets of teeth. Upper and Lower incisor teeth can now be clearly seen. With his teeth erupting months early, it was my cue to provide him solid foods. He's now eating stage 2 food from Healthy Options. His recent fave: carrots, apple, sweet potato, squash, peas and banana. He eats a lot, can even finish one jar of food in one sitting.

Physically, he can sit without support for a minimal time. Migo can roll back and forth in all directions without help. He moves fast when he wants something. Most of the time, he grabs our laptops as he loves to play with it. Well, generally he grabs anything, and put it inside his mouth. For speech development, he babbles a lot! Can even imitate sounds and sometimes our facial expressions too. He's starting to say ma-ma-ma as we encourage him to do so. Sometimes he can combine two-syllable sounds. Cute.

At six months, I am thankful he's not sickly at all. Immunizations and boosters completed for his age. Not fussy or cry-baby at all. Happy 6th Migo and we love you so much!! :)

on insurance renewal

It's the time of the year again, wherein all our cars due for insurance renewal. The price of our car insurance quite steep this year, blame it to the additional charges to cover the Acts of God incident. It used to be a FREE coverage as part of the insurance package. However, with the Ondoy (Typhoon Kestana) calamity last October, the insurance companies experienced heavy loss thus they've included this with a premium fee this year. The increase in price, depending on the year model and make of the car, but generally, an additional $50-$75 from the premium coverage. Now, with the high price of insurance, I am now shopping for the best online quote on the web. I need to be practical, as I need to pay two car insurance at the same month. I've checked Mercury insurance reviews online, and so far the rates looks appealing and competitive. I am still checking some insurance websites, comparing prices, terms and packages. And hopefully by next week I can decide as I need to insure all our cars by June 1st. Wish me luck.

baby shower

Another baby boom in the office now. Three of my colleagues are pregnant, and they are about to give birth in the next few months. As early as now we are preparing for their baby shower party, a little bit early, but this is to anticipate anything that might happen in the next few weeks. I've ran out of ideas what to give to the new babies, hence I've decided to give somehing for the mom instead. I find it useful and practical to get the new moms cocoa butter stretch mark, this works wonders for me. I used this product diligently when I was pregnant, and even continued using it until I gave birth. I am happy to say, it really minimizes the stretch marks brought by pregnancy. No dark lines seen and makes skin smooth too. No fear to wear bikinis, as stretch marks gone in a matter of few months.
